Tyran had finally realized he was in love with Skykin. He couldn't help, but fall in love with the gorgeous wolfess. Any brute would be lucky to be in her graces. He didn't know why Zona continued to abuse it so much. He walked over to his brother not even carrying himself low like he used to. "Zona, we need you to go get a doe or something. It's been a week since the last time we had something to eat other than a rabbit or so,"he said.

"Why can't you go hunt yourself,"Zona retorted with a evil smirk. He knew why, but hey he was going to embarress his brother. He was mad that Ty wasn't even submitting to him any more. To add to that anger, he had begun to suspect what had changed his attitude. Zona knew Ty couldn't hunt a full animal like a stag or doe alone. He wasn't skilled enough for that just yet, although he was getting close. Zona, and maybe Sky, would just laugh at him if he came back with a rabbit for all three of them to eat. It wouldn't even fill one wolf up really.

"You know why,"Ty answered back furiously. His voice had gone cold and hollow. It held no welcome for his older brother. Soon, Ty and Zona wouldn't be able to handle each other. Soon, Skykin would have to choose one of the brutes to be her own. Each thinking she would choose him, and each wanting her with passion. Something would have to be done because Ty was already wanting to leap at Zona for this conversation, and the feelings were neutral with Zona.

Skykin was feeling the tension between the two males but she hadnt exacly caught on to the reason of it. Her feelings had been cut in half. As much as she loved the way tyran treated her she was growing on the hard zona. With a yawn and a long strench before looking around before spotting them. They seemed to be argueing. Slowly she made her way to them. "Why dont you guys stop fighting and accually do somthing about our hunger" she growled out as she made her way to them. Her gray eyes looked from zona to tyran and back to zona.

Tyran glared at his brother as Skykin came up. He heard her, but didn't look instead to angry at his brother. "That was what I was trying to do. I was asking Zona if he would get us a doe,"he said to Sky. "No you were ordering. Besides why can't you get it yourself. You say I know the reason why, but I'm afraid I don't. So why don't you enlighten us,"was Zona's sneering reply. He was trying to humilate Tyran, and it was going to work if this conversation kept up. "I don't have to answer you,"was Ty's enraged reply as he turned his back upon his brother his head and tail held high. Bad mistake he soon realized when he felt a weigh descend upon him. A snarl came to his ears as he squirmed under Zona's weigh. "Boy, I suggest you rethink the way you speak to me,"he said fangs bared, but not going anywhere, yet. It was a huge insult for Tyran to be treated like he was still a teenager when he wasn't, with the whole boy thing. Ty looked to Skykin wondering what she would think about this.

Skykin watched the two. Tyran was growing older but he still acted like a child in so many ways. And when it came to hunting sky was starting to see that he really made the others get the food. Walking closer to the two now she looked to Ty when he spoke. "Yeah tyran for us, it should be for me and Zona you need to pick up your feet and do something" she stood up straight her eyes locked on him. Skykin was so much smaller then them to but she could hold herself. "Tyran you don't do anything its always up to Zona an dont try and talk your way out of it you know that its true" she growled out. The pup wasnt a pup anymore he was a wolf now, but he needed to start pulling his weight or els, she wasnt sure how much longer Zona would put up with his shit. Skykin watched Zona show his domanice when tyran raised his head higher. "Tyran yes you do, you would be starving if it wasnt for him, and i wouldnt be here with you two right now if again it wasnt for Zona" she looked at him her gray eyes in his. The white fae looked to Zona for a long momment then back to tyran.

So you finally choose your colors
I must say that I'm not surprised
Still in the back of my mind and heart
I always hoped it wouldn't be true...

Tyran was so shocked by Skykin's words. Instinctivly a sort of emotional sheild went up around him, just like it did when his brother insults him. A low growl came through as he spoke in a voice as cold as ice. His face was emotionless as he stared at Skykin. He felt betrayed at what she said. No, if it wasn't for HIM she wouldn't be with them. He convinced Zona to let her stay. He attacked Blaze first before he took Sky. If she couldn't see that at all than she was dense. Sure maybe Zona had helped out in both situations, but Ty had always been there. "I'm sorry you feel that way, Skykin. If you think I need to pull my weight than I will. I'll bring us back a elk that we can all share." When he turned his face was cold and determined. No way was he going to be able to hunt a full grown elk without getting hurt. Fear coursed through him, but he fough it back. No way was he having his brother tease him either.

Zona ignored his brother as he left. He was too keyed up, and angry to do anything about him being foolish. He was not skilled enough to kill a elk, among a herd of elk, by himself. Zona could hardly do it himself, and most of the time he never got one. However he always never got hurt because he was careful. Ty would only have his eyes on the prize. However this time Zona wasn't going to save his butt. For a moment he looked to Sky to see her reaction. He was proud that she stood up for him, but maybe he hadn't been completely worthy of it.

Let me hold you tight
Even if it's for a short hug
I doubt we'll be able to hug again
Maybe never, ever again...

Skykin was shocked by his growl. She didnt think that he would ever do that towards her. Her face dropped at the way he looked at her, skykin almost cowarded away but she fought it and stood there by both males. As he began to speak she didnt really know what to think or what to feel. Maybe saying what she said and the way she said it wasnt the best of ways but she couldnt go back now. Skykin now found herself staring and taking in the harsh words that the male she had liked from the begining was saying. Sky tried and tried to fight those feelings and she thought that they had pasted when she started feeling for Zona but now it was plain to her that she was torn between both of them. "Tyran.........." she spoke her voice shaky. No he couldnt take down an elk. "I was just speaking the truth, yes pull your weight more but you know you cant take down an elk by yourself" she took a slow step closer. "what are you trying to prove!" she growled out becomeing frusterated.

I wish I could make you remember
Everything you used to feel
But…

I can’t

I wish I could turn everything back
And love you the way I could
But…

I can’t

I wish you would say you still loved me
As much as you used to
But…

You can’t

I wish I could be her, the one lying in your arms
While I sit here crying again
But…

I can’t

I wish I could erase your memories
And stop the rivers falling from my eyes
But…

I can’t

I wish I could hear you call me “baby”
And kiss me like you used to
But…

I can’t

I wish the pain would stop completely
So I would never have to cry
But…

It can’t

I wish you meant the things you said
Every time you said you loved me
But…

You didn’t

I wish the blood would stop pouring
From this open wound I have
But…

It can’t

I wish I could make life end
So I don’t have to think of you with her
But…

I can’t

I wish I could blame you
For everything that I did wrong
But…

I can’t

Loving you is like breathing
And I want to stop
But…

I can’t

May the devil, himself, walk my own path
Make the same mistakes as I once did
I promise you won't regret them like me
No one can feel this much regret,but me
I swore to never love anyone again
I made the promise in HER name,
But now I've broken that promise to her
Because I've fallen for you
My little Sky...

Zona watched as his brother's white figure dissapeared. A image came to his mind of his brother doing that again. He wondered if next time it would be forever. A slight grimace came from his before he straightened back up. He kept himself in lead position still refusing to lower himself just because his brother had a fit. In the back of his mind, Zona knew he was pushing his brother farther away. However he wouldn't say or do anything about it. Zona wasn't the type of male to openly admit his feelings. Not for a long time actaully. His thoughts turned back to Tyran. It seemed he had ignored Skymist's words. With a soft sigh Zona stepped forward automaticly ready to comfort Skymist. However he stopped like he recived a slap to the face. Seeing her expression made his heart ache. Now, he knew for sure. She was torn between them, and in the middle of it Zona was in love with her. Just like his younger brother was. He hadn't realized it till now, but he had betrayed his first mate. The only fea he had come to love. What would she think now seeing him with Sky. However he was too much caught to really insult Sky and run off like his mind was yelling for him to do. He just loved her too much. When he spoke his voice was welcoming and warm..with a hard edge slightly. It was clear...CHOOSE. "Sky, it's your choice. You can stay or go comfort Tyran. I won't promise I'll be here when you get back with my...brothr if you go." He didn't even call him Ty like he always did. His voice was formal when he said Tyran as if meeting a stranger for the first time. There Zona waited to see who the second fea he ever came to love would do. His eyes were slightly narrowed. He knew Ty might very well get killed, but that was his own foolishness.

Among the white, silvery mist, is you
And there I fell for you
I would say that I'm sorry
For falling in love with you
But I can't bring myself to do just that
For I dont' regret it one bit
Sadly I'm in my own little Paradise
However it would be hell,
Without you there by my side...

I don't expect you soon to love me,
Nor are my own feelings clear.
Passion is the ornate entrance
To a world we crave and fear.
We cannot know where this will take us,
Nor whether we will ride for long,
But pleasure is the overture
That flows into the larger song.

So come with me with open mind
And heart, and we the time will prove
With laughter and with joy unfettered,
And, perhaps, someday with love

Skykin watched as tyran walked off. Oh how she wanted to run off to get him but another part of her begged her to stay. Never did she think tat her heart could be so torn between two males. It was almost an unbearble pain. Her eyes stayed glue to the disapearing figure. Before finally turning to look at Zona. Sighing she wanted to reach out and touch her nose to him but coiuldnt find it in herself. Skykin was in shock when Zona spoke it was clear to her what he wanted. Looking to the ground and then back up into Zona's eyes. "No, he knew the danger before he left"

Zona waited as patiently as he could for her to make up her mind. When she did he smiled. So she choose him over his worthless brother. That was good he thought. However a nagging thought remained in his mind. Would he really have left if she didn't choose him. Now that was something for him to think about, but he didn't at the moment. Instead he walked over to Sky, and nuzzled her briefly. "Smart choice," was all that he said in that voice of his.

Skykin was so torn it was almost unbearable. Finally her words came out and she now found herself turning away from the place where Tyran disapeared and she had her head barried in the crook of Zona's neck. A part of her wondered what wouldve happened if she left and another part wondered what would happen now. "It wasnt a smart choice, it was my hearts choice" she mummbled.

I want to open it up
Let my feelings out
So you can be in it
I wanna see through your eyes...

Zona watched as she turned her head to bury it in his neck. A soft grunt came forth like a cat's pur. It didn't last long, but it was still there just like his love for Sky. His face remained cool as if nothing could penetrate through it. Zona may love Sky, but it would still be awhile before anything could break through his facade. Orbs watched the fea as she spoke in a soft voice. Her words almost unhearable. A shadow of a smile filled his face, the best she would get for now. When he spoke his voice was the same cool, but yet with a hint of warmth. Like a cold fire with a warm inside. "Still it was the wisest choice. In my eyes at least. Ty's going to get hurt. That much I know from my brother, but I can't say how much...Honestly I couldn't help but think you might go after the foolish brute,"he said. He waited for her reply knowing he might get reprimended for his words. However he didn't care he was being truthful. His black coat showing out with her white pelt. Each not blendful, each with it's own story. A beauty hidden beneath the troubles of life. That's how Zona veiwed it, but he wouldn't ever say so. He turned to look at the fea he loved with the hint of the grin still upon his face. His scar shown clearly as he briefly closed his orbs as if deep in thought before reopening them. He was remembering their short lived past already. Now he waited for her to respond to him.

I promise it will be soon
My heart isn't that cold
At least I hope it isn't
After all I was that cold...

Skykin felt safe with him that was true but did she think she had his whole heart. No she didnt. Sky could feel the wall between them. She was hoping that she could get passed it. Her gray eyes rolled up to look at him when she heard his voice. His small smile warmed her inside which only brought one to her face. "Maybe love can sometimes be smart" she smirked lightly and looked up at the sky then back down to Zona. Oh she somewhat wished she went after tyran just to save him. These two were complete opposites Zona hard built cold at some points and someone you may never want to meet. And Skykin the look of and angel and an personality to match that. Skykin found herself staring up at the fading sun again and smileing.

Tyran dragged the caribou carcass into the clearing. His whole body had marks here and there. Blood covered his silver body, his and the prey's blood. His front left leg was clutched to his chest, but it was clear that it was sprained. He had a cut on his head where blood was dripping down, due to the caribou's hoof, which caught him with a small knick to the side. The scene he saw to greet him really did hurt him. His face changed to a cool look as he dragged the stag into the clearing. When he turned around to face his brother and Sky he spoke directly to HER...

"I've brought a caribou home. So I've taken my half of responsiblitys. Isn't that what you've said to do Skymist,"he said everything normal except for the fea's name which was coldly spoken.

Zona wanted to ignore his brother and remain sitting with Sky. However he turned his head when Tyran spoke. His gaze narrowed in warning. He really should watch his tone of voice around Zona. For he wouldn't take it if someone said something to Sky like that. No, even if it was his brother he would attack.

Sky was enjoying her and Zona's alone time. She was enjoying him just sitting near her. Really she didnt think he was going to fall for her. Closeing her eyes she listened and took a deep breath in. Skykin smelt him before she saw him and she wished that she wouldve kept her eyes shut. Se swarn her heart missed a few beats when she saw the sene infront of her. Opening her mouth she was cut off by his cold words. "I said pull your weight not go do something stupid!" she growled baring her teeth with a deadly growl. "What the hell are you trying to prove not Tyran! What are you trying to do kill yourself!" she hissed.

I gave my all for you
I begged and pleaded for you
Maybe I made a mistake at first
So I tried to fix it later
However you kept up your mistake
I still can't forgive you...

Tyran was even more enraged at her for what she said. A cold brutal laugh came forth from him. Oh no? Shall we do playbacks as well just to remind you? He did something for HER, and she was going to reprimend him for it!? That was a bunch of bull. So much anger, coldness, and hatred on one face. Even more weird was that it was on sweet and good natured Tyran's face. Tyran who always believed in the best of people. He felt so betrayed right now at his brother and especially Skymist. So when he spoke it was still in that deadly voice.

("Tyran you don't do anything its always up to Zona an dont try and talk your way out of it you know that its true. Yeah tyran for us, it should be for me and Zona you need to pick up your feet and do somthing.") Right than and there he repeated word for word what she said earlier. Now dosen't that seem familiar? Sure she didn't say it outright, but it was employed. Pick up your weight, and Tyran did excatly that.

"Instead of being a bitch, Skymist, you can accept my offer of prey. It's just as big as what Zona brings in...Or can you not accept it unless it's killed by him?" Oh yes Tyran might be going a little far, but she had really hurt him. Just like earlier he had said her name colder than the rest of what he said. Man he was growing really cold.

"Don't talk to her like that mutt," came Zona's instant reply.

"Maybe if you can protect her she won't end up dieing like Clover had. Hmm I wonder what Clover thinks of you now, Zona," was Tyran's chilling reply. It was so unexpected from him that Zona looked shocked and grief strickened at what was spoken to him.

How could you do this to me
I wanted you so badly, can't you see
He already had someone dear to him
Why couldn't you of come to me
Your tore my heart in two
And yet I'm still chasing after you...

Your there,
he's here.
I love you,
but I like him.
You love me,
he loves me to.

Skykin wanted to forget about her feelings for Tyran, she wished she wouldve stoped her feelings from the begining. Seeing him like this, hearing him like this felt like she was like a bullet in the heart. Never had she wanted this to happen. She didnt want him to do somthing like this. Hurt himself becuase he wanted to prove himself to her. This is not what she wanted! Skykin felt like it was her fault, she wanted to lay infront of him and say how sorry she was and tell him how much she really loved him but she couldnt. Listening to the two she felt her legs go weak and it was clear that she was off balance now. "tyran i know what i said but you took it the wrong way, risking your life isnt pulling your weight" she growled. "And you know thats not true"

He's here,
and I'm already falling for him.
Your there,
and were slowly falling apart.
What can I do?
Either way,
someones heart is going to be broken.
Including mine,
since I let it come to be like this.
Either way,
half my heart will be broken
Since i hurt another who loved me so

It was different
For it was me and you
I cared for you first
You loved me first
First come first served right..?

Man, he looked like a possessd demon right than. His hackles raised to full height and bristling. Blood on his body while his leg was still held close. Fangs bared to complete fullness showing how pissed off he was. And man it took a lot to make this happy going wolf mad. However this was how he hid his feelings. Kind of like Zona really. A fake facaded stone that couldn't be broken really. One that you couldn't see but still there in a way. Sadly, he was hurt by the one he trusted. So much hurt, guilt, and pain on one face it make you cry at how much one living being could handle. He wondered why he didn't just tell her the truth. How he really felt about her. Sure she most likely knew, but he had never spoken the words that would bind him forever.

Tyran couldn't stand it anymore. She didn't even step away from him! Why did Zona get everything he want, even a second chance at love, when he couldn't even have one time? A low snarl escaped his maw when Sky spoke to him as if he was still a pup. God, why couldn't she give it a break!? They both knew she was telling him to step up, and the only way Ty was going to do it than was hunt for them. So that was exactly what he did. I hope your happy now brother, you got what you want. However was it worth it? Family driven apart for one fea, one lonely fea that has a brute chasing after her that wants to kill us? Last time we could both hold him off, but what if their's only one? Sky I hope you get what you wanted. I know what I must do he thought.

"Is it really not true? Look inside yourself Skymist, tell me to my face that you love Zona more than me. I'm tiring of this falseness. I love you with all my heart. There I said it! I told you, has Zona told you that yet? Most likly because he dosen't! Can't get over Clover can you, Z? Tell me to my face that you don't love me as much as him, Sky."

When his brother spoke he waited for Sky to answer him. When his brother said his name he ignored it. It was mustered in Ty's most coldest voice he could manage. Way colder than how he had spoken Sky's name. His face was cold looking as he stared at Ty. It was better than the hurt expression on Sky's face. The fea he had come to care for, maybe even love. However pain was written on his face as well. Could he really turn his back on Clover? The fea he had once worshipped like a dark godess...Something about bad feas drawed him like a fish. What had drawn him to Skymist though? She was a sweet fea with no bad thoughts really. Deep down did she have a bad side to?

He already had someone
I had no one to love
Why can't I have you
Me and you go well togather
You can't have it both ways
So choose my friend and love...

I'd had never really thought of “us”
For I was sure of it as only lust
And found it hard with your lies to trust
I was uncertain that for you though it was a must
You wiggled your way into my road
Made sure there was no way left to go
I was stranded, I was kept below

And suddenly, the feelings took a hold
From every night now I toss endless
Finding I'm bottled up with more stress
I'm still not sure though, I guess
But that no soon turned to a yes

Sky never wanted to see this part of tyran. She really never thought that it was possible to look so angry. But everything seemed to be going wrong for her lately. Who was she suppose to chose. The one she had loved from the start? Or the one who's hard outer shell had pulled her in and now refused to let go? The one who loved her with all his heart? Or the one who maybe loved her but heart was still somewhere els. The pain she was feeling was tearing her from the inside out. She wished one would tell her that they never really liked her and tell her that it was all just a joke. But that was not the case, they way they looked at her it was easy to see how much they cared and loved her. Watching them she stood as still as she could, holding in her rush of emotions, and shaky body.

Skykin looked at him water now clouding her eyes. Hearing his words she felt as if yet another knife was stuck in her heart. His words were so true she couldnt belive someone could speak like truth like that without even knowing the real storry. Listening to him she had to look back at Zona, again the truth was spoken. Did she really have all of his heart?
"I love you Tyran its true but I love him two" she mummbled.

Zona was silent as Sky replied to his brother. He ignored her gaze for he continued to stare at Ty. No he couldn't bear to look at her pain, not yet at least. Hearing her words though he knew the truth. She would have to choose one of them. He spoke softly almost a whisper, but it oculd be heard by Sky and Ty.

"Skymist you must choose. You can't have both of us." He left it there waiting for her reply.

Ty stood there watching for Sky's reaction. When he heard her speak he smiled for the first time. She did love him back, but she also loved his deviled excuse for a brother. All well there was a still a chance she might choose him. He waited for a final judgement with his heart pounding and hopes running high.

Please I was a solitary brute
Now I might have a chance
So choose me the one that cares
For you will find no one better
My brother dosen't deserve you
He had another, and he blew it
So take a chance on me
My beauty queen...

Sky had wished that Zona wouldve looked her way when she looked back to him for support. She didnt want to belive that he still wasnt over clover and that she would only have half his heart. His soft words made her look to the ground hiding the forming water in her gray eyes. Skykin stil didnt want to chose. But she knew that either way one of their hearts would be broken. "Tyran i need someone who will be able to protect me" she spoke. "Zona i need someone who i know will love me with all his heart" she turned her head to look up at him. So who was she to chose. The young brute that will love her forever but wouldnt be able to provide for her and pups down the line. Or the other which she knows will take care of her watch over her and she maybe will win over his whole heart. Backing up to Zona's side she now let the tears fall from his eyes down her white cheeks. "Im sorry" she told tyran and then hide her wet face in Zona's black coat.

Tyran watched her his heart hurting to see her so upset. When she spoke he replied at the same time that Zona did.

Ty: "I'll die to protect you Sky, I love you that much.:

Zona: "I can't give you my whole heart, yet.": It may not be what she wanted to hear, but it was the truth. He looked down at her when she buried her face into his fur.

Ty narrowed his eyes slightly at her apologize. "So you choose him. The brute that can't even fully love you? Sky i thought you were better than this. Besides you loved me first! Why him?" He was going to argue and fight for her one last time. He wasn't ready to give her up. Not yet, without a fight. She refuses him again than he would leave.

Skykin was on the edge of breaking down. She didnt want to hurt either one. Both of their voices reached her ears. Tyrans words touched her but Zona's stung her hard. The white fea pulled away from him and stared up at him with a hurt expression. "How long do i have to wait?" she questioned. "Why shoud i wait then zona if your answer is a yet, its almost as worse as saying i maybe will love you" she cried out to him. Tyrans voice spoke the truth again. Skykin found herself standig between both brutes now. "I know i did but people fall in and out of love, im scared i want to be safe and with someone i know can protect me" she sobbed. Sky was really wishing one of them would tell her to go away.

Zona looked to the fea he knew he cared for. However he couldn't bring hismelf to betray Clover, not now at least. So when he spoke it was clear in his voice there was no changing it yet.

"That's right, yet. You can wait or go with Ty. That's you choice Sky."

"See he won't even say it Skymist. I LOVE YOU! I can protect you at the cost of my own life. Come with me." Ty waited for the fea he loved to make up her mind.

Skykin was so confused her own legs were barly holding her own weight now. She looked back and forth from either male. Turning to face Zona she couldnt hold the tears anymore. "I dont want to have to wait. how do i know you will love me if i wait? what if you change your mind half way through" she sobbed freely now. "the past is the past zona, do you really truly have feelings for me? or am i just some rebound action you want" she cried. She really did love this male.

Turning to the Tyran she let him see her tear streaked face. "i love you i do but i cant chose it hurts me soooo much to have to chose, im scared to chose either one of you"

Ty seeing her wobbly legs and tear streaked face made him feel sympathy for her. Comming forth he put his shoulder to her letting her use him as support. However she still had to choose, and he made this clear by whispering in a lovely voice just loud enough for her and his brother to hear.

"What does you heart tell you?"

"That may be how you look at your past Sky, but not mine. I loved Clover and promised her to stay true. Now you came and I don't know how I feel about you completely. I can't tell you a love you, not yet, and I'm not sure if I do." Zona wasn't going to lie to her. The truth and only the truth.

"Sky can you really handle that? What if someday he finds out he dosen't love you, and than abandons you? I'm here and I won't do such a thing. I love you." Ty spoke after Zona did. He was still fighting for the one he loved.

Why did this so called love thing have to be so hard. Why were they making it this hard for her. She knew that she loved one and he loved her back and she liked the other and was falling fast but was he going to be there to catch her. Looking at both she knew what her heart wanted but it didnt make the choice any more easier. Once Tyran moved to her she had to lean on him or els she was tumbling to the ground with a bang. Looking up to the dark male she closed her eyes for a long momment then opened them. "Tyran is right, i cant wait here and pray that maybe you will move on, i want to settle down and have a family with you im not sure i can do that" she cried harder as she said that. "i really am falling inlove with you but your not going to catch me and i dont want to be hurt that way" she backed away from Zona and her head sunk low. "I cant be with someone who doesnt love me the way i love him, if i cant be your everything then im just going to be nothing." she spoke through her heart now. It was true how was she going to do everything she wanted if she was with him.

Tyran smiled when she finally choose him. However he said nothing to his brother as he spoke to Sky. "Come, let us go some place quieter so we may talk." Than very gently he made to nose her toward Orca Bay. The brute knew she was still upset which was why he was being calm and understanding. All he knew was that he had the love of his life, and she loved him back.

"If thats what you wish, Skykin." Zona's voice spoke her name so coldy it would make ice feel HOT. Than like a ghost Zona was gone out of sight and scent range.
