Plans Made
Nix/Rage-Nix/Cael
Hazel eyes wandered over the flowing blue before her eyes. The waves lapping against the shore gently, the water touching her paws so slightly it gave Rage a slight chill. A faint smile upon her maw, as she just stared out to the sea, as if calling out to something with her eyes instead of her voice.
Besdies her was Nix, ice blue eyes doing the same as her best friend's, but something was wrong. Nix knew it and didn't like it, how Rage was so quiet, how she had told her of nightmares she had experienced. Nix was nervous, she knew something was wrong today. Something bad was coming.
In one day so many things could go wrong, both females knew that all too well. In one day they lost their families, their home, they had even lost eachother for a period of time. Both starting anew as best as they could, but now...now they were together. But something was different, something was wrong.
"Nix...I need to ask you something..." Rage said trailing off. Glancing down at her reflection, seeing the red symbol upon her cheek, standing out against her black pelt, as if she was branded with blood. Rage loathed her symbols upon her, she felt like they were a curse, a disease, a sickness that would someday come to an end...possibly all too soon. Rage knew that.
Nix nodded in response to Rage's statment, something was coming, something bad. The wind had a slight chill to it. A faint scent of blood perhaps, but Nix tried to push that away. It couldn't happen again...could it?
"He's coming....he's coming here...I don't want you to be here. I want you to run away..." Rage said in a tone sounding like she was in a trance. Nix's eyes widened a bit with shock, her tail hung low, ears pressed against her skull.
"What're talking about? You don't think he's really..." Nix said referring to the gray wolf that she had feared ever since she heard the stories as a pup. Croanyl was his name, the wolf with the white eyes. But Rage nodded at Nix, and Nix's stomach sank. "Rage, I won't leave you...we both ran away before I'm not going to-"
"Nix, I know why you want to stay...but I don't want you hurt. You're the closest thing I have to blood family...please promise me...please..." Rage begged, turning to Nix with hazel eyes that showed a hint of sadness behind them.
What could Nix do but agree. But unknown to Rage, Nix made a plan, if she heard Rage yelp...or something didn't seem right. She'd come back, and with help.
"Nix, I also want you to keep Cael away...Phib and Amelie too...keep everyone away from the beach. Say he's in the forest..." Rage didn't want Cael to worry or be upset. But she also didn't want him to get hurt on her own accord. The same for Phib and Amelie. They were like surrogate parents in a way to Rage. And she wanted them safe, to be able to protect them. To make them proud. Rage knew Amelie could find her, so she'd have to work fast. Get him out of here, or at least try her hardest.
"Alright...I will...just be careful..." Nix said standing up and turning to start walking back into the forest. Rage smiled at Nix before she disappeared into the underbrush. "And Rage..." she said stopping, ice meeting hazel. Rage tilted her head in question, "Just remember....Let Go..." with that Nix was gone and Rage turned back to the ocean to gaze at it fondly one more time before the time was here.
Let go.
Rage remembered her mother telling her that as a child. Her sister and brother too...father as well. Rage still didn't understand what it meant. Perhaps it would come in handy someday, sometime. But for now it was time for her to try nad protect the ones she cared about. Time for her to stand and fight and not run away.
Her sister told her, that her survival would be her familiy's memorial. But only time would tell if that was true.
Turning from the ocean Rage started down the beach, back to where it had all started. Where Arguin had shown up. He'd be there, for some reason she just knew it. The wind blew off the waves that were beginning to crash down upon the shore. It was time. Maybe this time, she could make a difference.
--------------------------------------------
This wasn't right. Nix knew it. She had to find Cael, and Phib and Amelie and everyone. She couldn't leave Rage there alone. She'd get hurt or worse...no, she wouldn't be able to stand it.
So Nix tore off into the woods. She had to find Cael. Then Cael would find Cellen, everyone would find eachother. She had to hurry.

The days were toiling long and the heat was growing to be a bother that was both discomforting and irritating. Cellen never did like the heat and, being a wolf with a thick, burly coat, it never did help him much at all. Curled up underneath the small outcropping of rocks, the same cave where he and Nix had let their passions consume one another, the punk wolf slept.
Tattered, metal-ridden ears flickered as his muzzle scrunched up, bunching with wrinkles as his forepaws shifting slightly. "Re-Whut? No, don't-- STOP!"
His whole body jerked upwards, cerulenan orbs snapping open as his breath drew in heavy, fastidious pants. Disoriented and confused from the horrific dream that consumed his train of thought and even his actions, Cellen's paws shook underneath him, trembling as he gritted his teeth and tried to regain what composure he could.
The yelling only jostled and stirred the young adolescent, making his orbs flicker open and his head turn in the direction of the curly-tailed wolf. "Cell! What's the matter?" Stumbling up onto his paws, Cael staggered towards the punk wolf as his ears flattened against his skull. A low, sympathic whine escaped from his maw as he crept towards the older male.
"Another dream?"
"Yeah," the punk wolf mused with a low tone. Shaking his head side to side as his tapered, crimson streaked hair atop his head brushed over his right eye, Cellen supressed another shiver as he began to slowly pad towards the opening of the small hideaway.
"The same dream...just-- Well, you know, mate, it never stops. These haunting recollections never leave my soul at peace."
"You know what you have to do, Cellen," the young teenager spoke with a soft, soothing tone. "You have to find him before these dreams get the better of you, ya know?"
"I know, I know."
"Then let's start today."
"Now?" The punk wolf quirked an eye as his curled tail swayed hesitatnly behind him. "Why now?"
"Why not?"
"Well-- You see..I-Fine!" Slumping his shoulders slightly with a small snort, Cellen trailed outside as the younger male trotted behind him. Glancing back, he tilted his head slightly towards the side. "And how do we begin?"
"Where you last left off," Cael replied with a small grin. "You lead the way, okay?"
Furrowing his brows slightly as he took a few steps forwards, Cellen gritted his teeth slightly and sat himself down on his haunches. Where did he last leave off? Or-- where did he come from? What direction?
Why was this so hard?
"Lead..."
"Yes. Are we goin'?"
"......."
"Cellen? Where are we going?"
"....Er-- Wes-South? North?"
Shaking his head, Cael grimmaced as he glanced back at the older male. "You can't be serious! Come on! A big brute like you having no idea where to go?" As his tail swayed with a minute irritated manner, Cael huffed a deep breath and began padding out towards the edge of the breakers.
"We'll start here."
Nodding his head as his body seemed somewhat peterfied and grounded to the earth, Cellen slowly rose up upon all fours and began trailing after the young teenager. Was the search even worth it? What if he was-- dead?
"I'll find you-- Reno."

Bolting forward and weaving between trees Nix ran as fast as she could. Cael would know what to do, wouldn't he? He and Rage seemed close...not as close as she was with Cellen but they were close. Perhaps they would be together like she was with Cellen. Nix felt horrible for leaving the den, and a sleeping Cellen behind. She knew he was having trouble sleeping, even if he didn't know she knew.
She'd wake up to see him in an expression she had never seen before. Eyes closed, sometimes saying words out loud, but she never asked him about it. She didn't know what they were about, or how else she could help besides curling around him and licking his ears and cheek affectionately, trying to lull him back to sleep. But she loved him, and would always love and care for him no matter what.
But she had to find Cael.
What Rage was doing was suicide. Going off alone to find that darkness? Insane. Purely insane. Surely she'd get hurt. And he would be coming soon. She had to find them. She was coming up to the den now. And she crawled up to the entrance, usually Cael was with Cellen...but they were both gone.
Just her luck. Peering down the beach she could see two figures, two shadows going off into the distance. But she was nervous. What if that was the darkness...here. She shivered.
Then stopped short completely.
Phib's howl...
Not good not good.
She had never heard him howl out before. And it was a warning, where was everyone? She didn't want to be alone. Her tail was tucked between her hind legs and her ears pressed back against her skull. She wanted to find Cael, Nix knew she had to, but now she was scared. She wanted to curl up and disappear. If she didn't move...she might...she might lose Rage.
Phib's howl was a call to the guards, that she knew. So Cellen must've gone to see Phib by now...maybe. But where would Cael go? Leaving the den she went onto the beach. The two figures gone. Her legs began to shake. SHe wanted Cellen beside her, protecting her.
She raised her muzzle to the air and howled out, in depseration, calling out to Cael. Telling him she needed him there. Needed his help.
She needed someone...

Before Cellen could even utter another word, before he could rebuttle and seize an opportunity to contest his emotions and thoughts, Phib's howl did not go unnoticed. With tattered, metal cladded ears pricking forwards and cerulean orbs widening, the head guard threw back his head and solaced back in haste.
This was the first time Phib had ever howled to call of a warning and, more than ever, Cellen had to be prompt and steadfast in aiding Phib in whatever danger was to creep and lurk within their borders of the packlands.
With his breath drawing heavy, the punk wolf shot a quick glance towards the adolescent with a troublesome expression. "Stay here, Cael! I gotta help Phib solves this mess of horlicks and you'd be best to stay away from it all, right?"
"I can help, Cellen. I--"
"Just stay here, mate!" The older male barked as he grimmaced slightly and began leaping in great strides. "It won't be long!"
Watching as the curly-tailed male dissapeared into the thickets and depths of the small trimming of forest, Cael snorted a sharp breath and thumped his tail in a displeased manner. He could help and he was just as strong as any other wolf but why did he have to be treated like a little kid? Cael wasn't the lost and confused pup he once was--no, he was different. Even Cellen had noticed that Cael's personality was becoming bolder and confidence was, slowly, building up within his blood. The once timid and scared pup was maturing into a newfound individual.
Furrowing his brows as he began padding away back towards the den, Cael stifled a small hackle. "When can I prove myself? Don't I deserve a chance, too?"
Hanging his head as he stumbled back towards their hideaway, another howl sounded but, this time, it was one from a wolfess.
Nix.
Shaking his head and glancing about, Cael let his soft sea green eyes roam until they settled upon the silver-grey female's figure that resided upon the beach. If Nix was here then...where was Rage? Raising a brow as his ears flickered, the brown-purple hued wolf began making hasteful strides towards the ocean front and the sand.
"Nix!" He called out with a yelp. "Are you alright? Where's Rage?"

Nix saw Cael coming towards her and she stood up and basically threw herself at him as if thanking him for coming, "I need you help! We have to go find Phib now!" Her tail was hung low, not even wagging the lishgtest bit, her eyes were wide with fear and uncertainty, Rage had been gone too long now. Something had to be happening, they had to hurry.
"If we don't go find Phib she's going to get killed!!" Nix was speaking in hysterics, if something happened to Rage...she'd die. She'd just keel over nad die. Rage was basically her sister, the only one she had left from the valley. If teh darkness...if Croanyl really was here, adn she was alone with him, she'd get killed. She knew it in the pit of her stomach.
She nudged Cael with her head against his shoulder to push him in the direction he had heard Phib howl in, "If we don't tell him whats going on something bad will happen Cael...please...please help me..."
Nix knew Cael and Rage were close, adn the last thing she wanted was to suffer and have Cael suffer along with her too. She didn't know what she'd do if something ever happened to Cellen...she'd be lost without him. She started to turn and go in the direction Phib was in. Turning ehr head around to see if he'd follow and help her find him she tore down the beach. Time was of the essemce, and they had to move fast.

((I'm gettin' back on track and we're gonna finish these! <3))
As he approached with his tongue hanging from out of his maw and his tail swaying behind him with a cautious manner, Cael was alarmed slightly when Nix threw herself at him with a dire sense of desperation and haste. His sea green eyes peered into those that were glazed with fear, wide and disoriented.
"Find Phib...Wait- Rage? Rage is in danger!" His ears swiveled back as his fur bristled slightly upon his back. He shifted his weight from his two forepaws, muscles becoming tense and rigid as he couldn't help but grit his fangs and grow low within the back of his throat.
Was there someone after her? Again?
He remembered the last time when the blue devilish wolf, Arguin, sought to take the black wolfess' life away and the pain of looking into the twisted grin of the older males was enough to make the once small pup savagely attack with all the strenght he could conjure. But now as an adolescent, he had grown and so had his emotions and strengths. Whoever or whatever was seeking to take the one he loved so dearly away would not escape nor see that the task would be so easy. Cael would either stop the fiend in his tracks or die trying.
Tenderly brushing against her as to soothe her fears that coarsed within her whole body, Cael rumbled softly. "Of course I'll help, Nix. But tell me...who is after Rage?"

Nix felt a bit calmed by Caels actions, but she couldn't help but still worry for Rage. If something happened to her, she wasn't sure what she would do, try and kill the other? Most likely. But then that would put her in danger, then that might put Cellen in danger. Hell, what to do? She whined in sadness and fear, tail curling against her.
"A darkness, I heard stories of him when we were pups, Rage and I, but now, there's no time to explain Cael, we just have to go," Nix said pulling away, mind whirling with thoughts, images, things that might happen, things that could happen, possibly would happen. It was too much, adn she bolted in one direction, hoping she would cross Phib's path along the way.
She had to find him, had to had to!
Nix peered over her shoulder as she bolted, seeing if Cael was following, she couldn't tell, everything behind her was a blur, just like her memories, her past, but this male, this darkness was coming back from that blur, and she never wanted him too.
She had to find Phib, tell him, save Rage, she could do it, Rage would be safe, Cael and everyone would make the darkness go away.
Her heart told her that Cellen would bring the light.
