Red and White

Fasha has always been different, as if the world was just fine without her. She saw more than you could think, and if she would answer a question that was in one's head, they would probably freak out, and run away.

Not Moon, Nula, Max or Dawn. they would just look at her in surprise, as if they never knew she could do such a thing and reply with: “yes, i knew that..”

Fasha flopped down on the Maxs pillow, she closed her eyes a little bit, waking up to Ava, standing over her head. “Yikes!” Fasha yelped. “Is it working, I can't tell if she screamed or if that was a bark, can she understand me? Even in my thoughts?” it couldn't be, AVA? Of all furless, was she finally speaking lupian?

“FASHA! SPEAK!” she picked her up, yep, she was speaking lupian. “So, you finally learned.” she finally replied

“You're talking to me and I'm talking to you, and we can understand each other so…” she took a while at the last word, as if trying to remember the pronunciation “yes, i guess?”

“Did you see a scroll?” Ava questioned. Fashas heart started racing. “A scroll, what did it say?”

“Some kind of pome?” replied Ava, “it was in lupian, i couldn't read it, and i still can't read it, only speak” Fasha nodded for more information “and it said.. According to Dawn” she paused trying to remember. “I know what it is!” Fasha said, darting out the room

“Oof!”

Then came a noise

“OW!! STOP!!!”

Fasha crept over to the source of the noise jolting back behind the wall when she saw, another colie, he was brown and white, same pattern as Moon but with a little bit of spots, and some merle, he was on the wall. And a large skinny cat was torturing him. “HEY,GO AWAY!!” Fasha thought about helping him, and kept refusing, then she heard him think: “i can't go on… i will die… someone help… i hate this cat…” he was very bloody, and as Fasha could tell, he really wanted to get free.

On the other paw, the cat refused to let him go, he liked torturing him and he will not stop it untill he dies, and whoever tries to free him, he will have them join “the fun”.

“I see you…” Fasha started to panic, “he knows i'm here?” “yes” “well, you don't scare me!!” she blurted, grabbing the cat's outer attention “i know what you're doing to him!” the cat laughed “and i know what you are up to… trying to take my new punching bag?” he laughed “sorry pup, that's not how we run around here” his claws unraveled “here, we fight for what we want.. Fasha? Isn't it?”

“Go ahead and just run, I'll be fine!” the collie thought, Fasha shook her head as the cat did a nasty glare at the both of them. Bearing her teeth, Fasha leaped forward towards the cat, landing on it, he hissed and swiped at Fashas face, she nearly missed. “Give up, young one.. You can't beat me.. You never did, or could” he pushed her off, she landed into the wall, weak, and falling unconscious, she replied “who..are..you…?”

She woke up, at the top of snowy’peak, the carnoverain besides her, still unconscious, but alive. “How did he get in my head like that..” she looked at the anklet Nula gave her. “Nula said that with this, we could talk to each other, but she seems to be offline” she taped it “not to mention.. I'm Malaise.. Must be the cold… how long was I out here… and where is home?”

The other one woke up, shaking the snow off his fur, his hazel eyes gleaming, he growled softly at Fasha: “like my life wasn't bad enough, you had to make-it w-worse” the cold air make him stutter, or was the really how he talked? Fasha exhaled deeply, her hot breath turning into cold fog. “Im sorry, i just wanted to help you” Fasha noticed the fire he started “well don't, i don't need any help… I am a loner, ok?”

“Lissen, i don't know your name, but you must trust me,” Fasha sighed “you can't do this alone”

“Yeah I can!!” he growled, his body seemed to change. “You're a shifter?” he growled slowly, changing back, “yes, i'm a shifter, mystical shifter” the type of shifter that shifts into mythical creatures, “and i must admit, how did you know i hated that.. Monster” Fasha hesitated and bragged “MindSight, but don't worry i'm not anything like him”

“Oh, I know,” he informed, “Hero, you?” Fasha smiled “Fasha” he looked in the darkness as if trying to recall something and then seems to snap back to his senses “nice to meet you..” he smiled, as if she was someone he knew, he then clapped his paws together creating a flame and sat it on some stick’s he had been collecting, the fire transferred from his paws to the sticks

“You rest, ill guard” he said looking at Fasha, “we're going on a trip tomorrow.” Fasha wanted to refuse but all she could say was, “arnt you going to sleep?” Hero shook his head “I don't want White`Claw to kill you… like he did to your-” he paused. “My mother..” Fasha said, taking the rest of the sentence out of his head, “no one knows about her death except me, Moon and… my father.. How do you know about it??”

“Moon is alive?!” Hero gasped, ignoring her concern “where is he?” Fasha tilted her head “back in Lupaina, me, him and some friends decided to settle there, we could head there tomorrow, if you wish” Hero laughed “your wish is my command” he pat her “now, go to sleep, for real” he smiled and thought carefully “thank you.. Fasha”

The next SunUp was exciting for both of them, Fasha couldn't wait to show her friends someone new, she couldn't tell what Hero was up to, but she was happy he agreed to come along. “Down there, is the village of Lupaina, comeon!” Hero laughed in a “ok ok, i'm coming!” at this rate they would be back by CenterSun

When they finally made it to the cave Ava greeted them, “hello! Fasha. Where have you've been? Oh! And who's this!?” Hero growled softly “don't worry, they are with us, this is Ava, and that's Max.” she pointed to Ava, and then Max, who was walking out to see what was going on. “I knew that..” Hero sighed, “I was testing their defenses.” Ava laughed “oh we got defenses alright, Furless technology” she pointed to a couple of weapons she and Max made “we only use them for hunting and things like fighting White`Claw” Hero shivered at the word White`Claw “good”

“Come in, come in!” Max offered. Ava stroked the Fur at the top of her head. And inside was Moon, Dawn, and Nula. “Guys, this is Hero, and these are my friends, and Moon” Moon stood in shock, “Fasha? Do you know who this is?” Fasha shrugged “he said his name was Hero?” Moon laughed “Fasha, sis, this is our father!” Fasha gasped “is that true, is that why you were so protective” Hero sighed. “I knew once I reunited with Moon I was going to have to tell you..” he paused “yes fasha.. I am your father”

Fasha was in toldal shock “Hero- i mean dad.. Why didn't you..” she quit speaking and embraced him, crying “they say that.. Once Fasha mother died, you burn yourself with fire” Dawn cut in.

“No!” Hero spat, he patted Fasha and Moon “i would never, besides, i have other family to remind me of her” he nuzzled fasha, “the way you saved me, from White`Claw was historically brave!” Fasha gasped again, “that was him? The cat??” he really did have a habit of processing innocent creatures “i'm just glad that we are all safe.”

“Me too” Moon almost whispered...

sometime went by. It was almost SunFall, Fasha, Moon and Hero were sitting in front of the cave.

“If you really didn't burn yourself, then how did you cope?” asked Fasha. her gray-silver fur was shining in the sun's light

“Well, I tried to calm myself down, and when I saw this scroll, I was reading it.” Hero admitted

“And i noticed you, younger you, you were crying” Moon added

“I went over to calm you but.. You were gone,i thought White`Claw had captured you… so i sent Moon to find you”

“When i did find you, Dad was gone” Moon sighed

“And that's when we went to Lupaina?” Fasha guessed

“Yep.” Moon answered “i was hoping we could find him there”

Fasha laughed “but I found him in the BlackCave…”

“Ok you two settle down” Hero asked

“I'm not a puppy!” Fasha joked “but.. Sure”
