DoomFang's Shadow pack is plagued with new trouble. For an unexplainable reason, each member of the pack is tormented with unwanted relivings of the worst days of their lives. Their most disturbing memories have been resurfaced. Each day the flashbacks get stronger, more vivid, more real. Can the pack put an end to their blight before things get any worse? Or will they be forced to forever be agonized by the terrors of their past?

Chaos lay within his tentacle dome. He dreamed of his mother looming above him as she prepared to kill him. The other wolves around him watched as he was struck by his mothers final blow. He awoke as the tentacles lifted into the air. He coughed and gasped for air violently. "That dream, again," he said to himself, "Everytime I have that dream my tentacles almost suffocate me. I don't understand why that happens, or why I'm even having these dreams. For some reason, the pain I feel in the dreams seems to be inflicted upon my body is real. I can still feel that stab wound in my chest. I wonder if Doomfang has an answer to this problem." He waved his tentacles around in the air and wandered through the forest searching for any of the wolves that might also be experiencing the same problem.

Xephyin twitched in her uneasy sleep. She was dreaming. Dreaming of things she'd rather forget.
She was running by her sister's side. "What's wrong Syra, Why are you crying!?" She was frenzied. What had happened? She ran with Syra into the forest. A body lay still, scarcely breathing. It was stained in a pool of crimson blood. The pelt was silver. " MOTHER!!" Xephyin cried. She broke into tears as she ran to lay with her fading mother. Syra was with her, crying as well. " Mother.. mother what happened? Who did this? How did this happen!? Oh Mother, please, please don't die!" She sobbed over her mother's mangled body. Syra whimpered. "Be strong my girls. Be strong. Syra, make Syra strong... Stay with each other... I love you..." Xenia coughed, spraying blood, and passed on.
Xephyin woke with a start. It was still dark outside and only Chaos seemed to be awake. The moon did not show tonight. That was... disturbing. Xephyin thought to herself. Why did I have that damn dream? I haven't dreamed about her death in nearly two years.... She rose and shook her scruffy pelt. The dream had disquieted her. It had been a very long time since she had re-lived her mother's death. And the last time she did, it was fuzzier than this dream.
I wonder if Syra had that dream... She closed her eyes and let the aura's of the den come to her. She could pick out Chaos'. It was muddled, as usual. She didn't bother trying to decipher him. She found Syra's after a moment. It was a sickly yellow. Notions of stress and despair flooded her mind.
Maybe she is dreaming the same thing I did....

Steele stood by the banks of the river where he usually walked alone. He watched the fish with a furrow of his brow. His vision faded as a new sight appeared. He fell to the ground slowly as the pained memories returned.
"Steele! NO!!" A young girl screamed as the man looked maliciously into her eyes. He mocked her voice and brought the sword down on her brother, cleaving him in two. He turned to the screaming young girl and picked her up by the throat with one hand as he twisted his sword in the other.
"And WHY! Why should you not face the fate these do!?"He yelled hysterically. He threw the girl into the well of the town square, with the rest of her gutted family.
A tall lone hooded figure stood before Steele and put a hand on the blademaster's shoulder."My child, the relinquishing of spirits has come to pass. You are now mine. To be locked away and fight with mindless hatred.
He awoke with tears forming in his eyes and convulsing slightly. Steele looked around the river banks for signs of wolves. He continued to traverse the woods for signs of his pack mates to see if they were able to provide an answer, or if they suffered the same dilemma so they all may be able to find a way out..

Rude as she could be, Xephyin didn't have the heart to wake Syra. But she needed comfort. The dream she had had was more than disquieting. She needed someone to talk to. Chaos was awake. She could feel gentle pulses of mudied colour coming from him. Mabey he would talk with her. Xephyin knew that Chaos probibly wasn't the best choice for comfort, she'd much rather prefer Senrir or Syra or even DoomFang, but she was so frazzled, anyone would do. She padded slowly over to him, cracked claws making faint clicking on the stone as she did so. "Chaos. Are you awake?" She didn't exactly know why she bothered being polite. Mabye I really am that stressed out over this.....It's not like I haven't dreamed that before. I guess this time it was... I don't know. It seemed more real this time. As if I was a bystander...watchin the scene unfold from all other angles...It seemed so real and yet..not.Confusion plauged her mind. When she didn't get an immediate answer, she raked her claw non too gentily across his dome. She heard him murmering to himself. He sounded uneasy. Could it be that he...had a dream similar to mine? No. of course not....But he did have a weird..few lives.....

Chaos was brought back to his senses by Xephyin. "Oww," he said playfully as Xephyin clawed him, "Well, at least you're being more gentle than last time. What are you doing up anyway? I don't ever remember seeing any other wolves awake at this hour." He tried to sound as sincere as possible. The pain in his head was minor, but he was still partially asleep. He yawned and sat down in front of Xephyin. His tentacles were floating around him. He didn't notice it, but they were clearly visible. The transparents of his tentacles disappeared because of his memories of the past. I wonder what she's thinking right now he thought She's probably thinking about how pathetic or freaky I am. I guess there's nothing I can do about what she thinks of me. My feelings for her won't change so easily. He suddenly remembered his dream and looked up at Xephyin carefully. Is she experiencing the same thing? Is it possible that she too is experiencing these nightmares? I don't know about her past, but if it's anything like mine I have to find a way to help. I don't want her to be tormented by something like that.

A low rumbling growl escaped Xephyin's throat. " Watch yourself. I don't doubt that you didn't notice I was up. In that dome of yours, I can't see how you differeniate day and night." She hissed. She had decected little pops of pink. She didn't like what pink usually meant. While Chaos may think what he wants, he'd better remember who he's dealing with.... " Anyway, I'm a bit...worried. I had a dream. One that seemed like more than a dream but....different than real life. I had picked up some feelings of tention from Syra. Adn you. I was wondering if you had something like that happened to you."She didn't look directly at Chaos. Her gaze was transfixed on the mouth of the den. The sun was rising. Great, she muttered inwardly day time. Though it was a moonless one, I still prefer night to day......

Steele walked to the rock he preferred standing on. He could only lie there, for he felt a fear he had not felt in many months now. He had hoped he escaped, but now these dreams were causing his past to return, he needed to find help from another packmate or he would surely soon make a grave mistake that would lead to the harm of another wolf. He winced in pain as the memories made his heart hurt. He looked around for any sign of other wolves or anything he could find to quiet his mind and heart from these dilemmas.

Chaos looked up at the sky. "Dreams?" he said innocently, "I haven't had any strange dreams lately. Just the usual ones. There's nothing for me to be worried about and I think you shouldn't put too much thought into them either. But anyway...My good friend Steele is of somewhere. He seems troubled about something. Maybe he's having strange dreams, but then again he is always kind of gloomy. Let's go cheer him up! Come on, it'll be fun!" Chaos quickly got up and dashed a short distance away. He stopped and looked back at Xephyin to see if she cared to come. Strange dreams he thought Interesting...I guess this isn't a normal thing after all. My tentacles are stretched throughout the forest and I can see everything that happens in the physical plane, but dreams are out of my element. We need a psychic wolf to help in this matter. I've never encountered a psychic wolf. Or have I? It's hard to say. Nevertheless, I'll find out what Xephyin can do soon enough. His tentacles formed together to make wings.

Xephyin grumbled. " Steele isn't worth cheering up. And I fail to see how cheering up a miserable wolf counts as fun." He's lying to me... He can lye smoothly to any other wolf, but not to me. He DID have a dream that was, unusual. I know it...I can't stand liars... She sauntered over to where Chaos had stopped, not caring to adjust her usual pace. " So how exactly do you know that he is upset? He hasn't been in the den all night." She kept a close watch on his aura. He can't be trusted.

Chaos looked back at his wings. "I'll tell you later," he said playfully, "And it'll be plenty of fun. Trust me. I may not be a trustworthy wolf, but you never really payed attention to the real me. I'll be truthful to you about how I know when we get to Steele. Now come on." He looked at her curiously. I wonder if she even cares about Steele he thought Steele and I never really did stay to close to the pack. His control of metals won't help anything at all, but he could possibly be having nightmares too. I don't want to make her dislike me more than she already does, but telling her about my abilities right now won't help anything.

"We have time. The day has just begun. You can tell me now." She looked meaningfully at Chaos."And stop trying to use that tone with me. I'm not some regular femme whom has intersts in every brute she sees. I'm more solitary. I still can't see how making such a depressed wolf happy will be fun. I would much rather prefer hunting. And after you explain how you can tell Steele is upset if you have no way of smelling his scent." His aura was a deep purple now. She caught a snippet of his mental conversation. never...pack...metals...nightmares...too...her...dislike...me...won't help anything.
Now if ony I knew what the heck he was saying in full.

Chaos thought about telling her. "Sorry," he said, "I'm a brute that likes to keep secrets. Steele is my friend so I'd tell him, but you don't seem that friendly at all. If you'd rather go pick on a creature weaker than yourself, then I'll never tell you. Now, if you'll excuse me I have a friend to check on." He turned around and dashed off. His eyes turned green. He quickly became overcome by hatred. She may be more trouble than she's worth he thought My host didn't realize it, but she seemed to be hiding something as well. This one will have to read deeper into that particular wolf. His eyes slowly returned to their original color and he returned to his joyful self.

Xephyin ran to catch up with Chaos. Once she was keeping pace with him, she spoke, vioce holding a note of acid. " No, I'm not a very friendly being. No, i'm not easy to get along with. I haven't the slightest idea as to why I'm attempting to hold a conversation with you, but I'd like to continue it. I apologize if I pryed to deeply into your 'relationship' with Steele." Her voice took on a dark edge, " And just for the record, it's hard to keep secrets around me. I don't prey on the weak or innocent, I do however, scold the cowardly or the conceided. You seem to be neither at the moment, so just drop it."

Steele perked up his ears as he heard talking. One voice sounded as such like Chaos, the other...Xephyin, perhaps. He was unsure. He slowly walked in that direction and stood within the trees so as not to disturb their conversation. He listened carefully and learned he was not the only having the dreams of repast. He rolled his tongue over in his mouth in disgust s he thought over his own dream."Surely their are worse."
