A dance with the beautiful. [somba&hikari] [OPEN]

[maromi]

Hikari shot a glance between the two higher females, her ears flickered with a great deal of pride.
"So which pack shall we send her to?" If it was said, than Hikari must'nt have been listening. For whatever reason, she had been caught in her own little dream land.

Somba however shook and yellped at the decision, deeply hurt by the insult from her own mother.
"I want to see father! Now! He won't send me away, he loves me more than any of you! He will never accept such an atrocious idea! I want to see my father!"

Merr. I wanted to say so badly that I just hated people, but I knew that in all honesty I would be wrong. But as I walked through Shadow's territories, the dirt on the ground staining my light grey paws, the wind whipping through my fur, the sun beating down on my dark coat, I had begun sinking farther and farther into my pissy side. I didn't want to be here, I wanted to lash out at someone, and I wanted to know what the hell I was supposed to be doing anyways. Mother never told me anything, father was just her whipped mate, and I hadn't seen much of my older siblings anyways. I could hardly remember the names of of my sisters... Somba was one... What was the other? Oh yeah, Enastetyk. Took me a minute to get their names...

But what was my purpose? Was there a reason as to why I was still here in Shadow instead of being a loner? I knew that Deceit was still trying to build up her army, but Enastetyk was the second leader of the army, not me. No, I wasn't as evil as Animosity or Enastetyk, instead preferring to remain neutral. Today was just one of those days where I was growing irritable and moody, but I wasn't actually evil. I sighed, pushing through yet another peice of brush, my ears picking up sounds. Somba shrieking, that was for sure. I heard the sickly sweet words of my mother, and then another feminine voice, along with a few words of yet a fourth female. Curious, I silently padded along through the brambles, wondering what Somba was shrieking about, what my mother was lashing at her for, in that filthy way of hers, and what the other two females were doing. Not caring too much about being silent but not making a whole lot of noise, I pushed through the bushes and out next to my mother's hip.

'Please, don't listen to them, Mother! It won't work! What makes them think they can just sneak me off to another pack, and why are they so sure they won't kill me? Am I really so insignificant that you should send your own daughter to death?'


Was Deceit really sending her daughter out of the pack? What was going on?

Death, dear?

You are not at all insignificant. And it sounds to me like you decide if you die or not. You can either obey, or let them, or us, kill you. If you are so tough, you should be able to handle yourself in any pack we put you in, right? And I can't allow a weakling in my army. Think of it as a secret mission only you can complete.

Ouch. Weakling in the army? I winced slightly, but was mainly hidden by my mother.

'They just want me dead! They're coniving demons! Why not send them away? Hikari is perfect for it! No one cares about her!

Who was Hikari?

But dear Somba...

Oh shit. Her voice was getting that sickly sweet again...

Whoever said we cared about you...

Ooh!

[/i] Can you say SLAP IN THE FACE?! I nearly barrled over laughing, but instead began sniggering to myself. It was pretty damn cruel to say that to Somba, and the look on her face instantly made me stop laughing. Hey, Deceit could very well just turn on me and say the same exact thing. I strode over into the wolves, now having some sort of idea of what was going on. "I'll go instead of Somba, mother." I said, expressionless. Best talent I had, to remain completely expressionless, emotionless, at any time I wanted to.

"If you've got to send one of your offspring from the territory, just send me. It's not like you've given me the time of day around here. Nobody gives a damn about Diablo." I said, wanting to snarl and put as much ice into my words as possible but still remaining emotionless. "So why not just send me? Or if anything, send the both of us."

" Are you that fucking stupid?" I laughed, glancing over my shoulder at the bitch. " I love father just as much as any of us, but I know just as well as he does that he does whatever mom says. If she wants you gone, you're gone. He can't stop her."

It was just pure facts, honestly. Being daddy's little girl and all, I would've figured that she'd have picked up on this very obvious thing by now. Dad was whipped; everyone knew it. He was a strong wolf, but he wasn't anything compared to mom. I smirked down at Somba, her face only making things better. I loved how much mom's hatred got under her skin, made her want to cry.

"Not so big and bad now, huh?" I whispered, the words rolling off my tongue and intended for Somba's ears only. I was totally cruel, and I had to admit, I liked it.

Suddenly, another puppy surfaced, stepping out and making a rather bold statement. Diablo took the center, declaring that he should be the one to go instead of Somba. I almost laughed at that. Diablo wasn't the kind of wolf we needed for the job. He was bigger, and a lot harder to hide when trying to be sneaky. Somba was more cruel, or at least she acted like it. She'd do much better in the plan... Yeah, much better.

" Diablo, you're not cut out for the job," I answered, my hatefulness leaving. My voice returned to its natural, soft yet bold tone. " I mean, we need somenoe thin and sneaky, and Somba could do that better just because of how she's built. She's also got a bit more of mom's genes than you do... She's more likely to be able to kill and not have a second thought about it." I knew in my head that the statement was false, but everyone else had been fooled by the tough girl act she'd put on her entire life.

'So, I take it we will be sending her off?'

I glanced over at Opal. She really was eager to get rid of this little wench. I smirked and nodded. I couldn't help but keep that devilish smirk. I wanted Somba to be as angry and hateful as possible when I sent someone to drop her off. I wanted her to hate every living thing. I wanted her to have no problem at all with killing off someone who was supposed to look after her. I didn't want her to have any feeling towards which ever Alphas would be looking after her until she decided to start slaying members.

"I suppose I can send one of my little ones off."

'So which pack shall we send her to?'

I hadn't really thought about that yet. I didn't think Lightning would take her at all after the little escapade earlier. They definately wouldn't want to help out a lost Shadow pup. I mean, we were going to try and hide her scent, but if they found out...Lightning definately wasn't going to take her. Bloodshed wolves might be able to give her a run for her money...but she wouldn't fit in as well around Lumination. Oh, the choices.

'I want to see father! Now! He won't send me away, he loves me more than any of you! He will never accept such an atrocious idea! I want to see my father.'

"Oh...Darling..."

My voice twisted into that digusting sweet tone again.

"You do truly think that someone in this pack cares about you, don't you?"

'Are you that fucking stupid? I love father just as much as any of us, but I know just as well as he does that he does whatever mom says. If she wants you gone, you're gone. He can't stop her.'

I smirked. Sadly enough, Opal was correct about all of this. Males were supposed to run the packs, but, as I'm sure everyone around these areas knew, a female ran this one.

'I'll go instead of Somba, mother.'

Another voice caught my attention and I turned my attention towards it. Diablo...Hadn't seen him in a little while now.

'If you've got to send one of your offspring from the territory, just send me. It's not like you've given me the time of day around here. Nobody gives a damn about Diablo.'

I gave a grin to him.

'So why not just send me? Or if anything, send the both of us.'

Now...that wasn't a bad idea. But if I let him go...then that was one less member of my pack. But if I didn't get him out of here, then he would just turn on us. But if I let him go, he was strengthening another pack. I wasn't sure about this part. But Opal seemed to take control of all this for me.

'Diablo, you're not cut out for the job. I mean, we need somenoe thin and sneaky, and Somba could do that better just because of how she's built. She's also got a bit more of mom's genes than you do... She's more likely to be able to kill and not have a second thought about it.'

I nodded in response to all she had said. That solved everything and then I didn't have to think about it anymore.

[maromi]

A pain unlike any other flamed in h chest. A burning that she disreguarded for nearly the year that she'd been on the planet. Something other than spite and anger. It was shortening her breath and squeezing her young wind pipes. She began to cry subtly as a puppy sometimes does, overwhelmed in her own pathetic and selfish world. It was crashing around her. Her ego, or concieded bubble of hers, had popped under the pressure. They were exiling her, and for what? Not even her father cared enough to fight for her. Her bad exterior broken by soft whimpers.

She scooted a bit away from her mother, but dared not to run. A fleeting cry in her subconcious pleaded to her with contemplations of escape. The voice of death was even louder. Its warning heeds a hopeless end. Maybe helping in this little war, dressing up with mudd to conceal herself, and living with another pack to learn from them and then betray them would benefit her in the end. No, even that argument brought shivers to the lithe pups mind. She felt immediate hate and resentment towards Hikari and her sister Opal. Hikari for even considering such an idea, and Opal for following right in the tracks. This was a set up! Not to get rid of little Somba, but for a pride trip! Her wind pipes loosened and she glowered to her sister and the lowly omega. But she held her tongue back, keeping those snide comments to herself, to spare a beating from his sister and Hikari...Her mother as well.

-=-

Hikari rose her ears, watching a new wolf tread into the opening with them. She bowed her head and kept her mouth, to not jump in the middle of her highers. The Drappa, however, was being rather...Quiet. Hikari thought for the time, it was strange. Hikari kept to herself now, remaining patient until an order were carried out. The multi-colored wolf had ignored even the bitter glare sent their way.

I fixed the post

[Virus]

just keep posting without diablo... i'll get to him eventually.

[Luna]

Diablo stayed quiet, a good move on his part. Ruining this for me and Hikari would get him hurt later on. The little male had no real intentions of saving his sister, I knew he didn't care about her no more than any of the rest of us. Perhaps he just felt sorry for how badly we were treating her. Either way, he didn't care about the cause enough to stand up and fight to have her stay. Mother seemed to like my retort anyway; I could see her nod from the corner of my eye (which was on Diablo). With no opposition from anyone but Somba, the plan seemed pretty confirmed to me.

" So," I said, breaking the silence that had grown between all of us. " I guess that settles it... Hikari and I will take her to the... Bloodshed borders?" I glanced at mom questioningly. I wasn't too sure on whether she wanted her in BLoodshed or not, but that seemed like the biggest threat to me. Plus, I knew that having to live with wolves like those would whip Somba into shape.

I took a second to look at Somba. She'd cracked, much to my pleasure, and was curled up away from everyone crying. She whimpered, trembled, and sobbed as quietly as she could but loud enough for everyone to hear. I did feel a tiny bit of sorrow for her, and may have even been a bit remorseful. But even if I was the intelligent, calm one out of us all, I still had mom's genes. And it seemed as if my siblings surfaced those cruel notions that had to have been passed down from her. The idea of getting Somba back for treating everyone around her like dirt was too good to back out on. Plus, the little twit should've been thanking them. Yeah, they were sending her to what could possibly be her death, but if she survived then she'd been much better off than she would've been staying in shadow. Come to think of it, if you looked at the optimistic side of it all, we were actually doing Somba a favor.

[maromi]

"Come, Somba." Hikari ordered, walking over to the young pup, and giving her a firm nudge with her muzzle. Hikari looked at Opal, her eyes smiling and pleased with the Dragga's daughter.

Somba was hurt, she gave her mother one final look, then passed her gaze along the blunt of them. Her sister, her brother, and the lowly omega....But she had no other choice, and so she raised to feeble legs, and walked to Hikari's side, ready to follow any orders. She was no longer a young alphess, she was a sikla, and omega. The lowest rank a wolf could ever ask for...

Hikari walked with Somba, Bloodshed their destination. Somba's life now in her own paws...
