Making Camp

[Lisolette]

Slynch crawled climbed down the tree where the drey was located. He crawled along the forest floor, grumbling and cursing as he did. But then, a gust of wind blew around the weasel, carrying a beautiful voice over to him. The song entered Slynch's ears, the singer's name coming clear to him, Malum!! Tears entered his eyes, but being a rather tough weasel Slynch blocked them out. Slowly, he got his foot-paws, but nearly fell down if he hadn't grabbed a low hanging branch. Cursing some more, Slynch cut the branch from the tree with a knife, and used it as a walking-stick. I wish those idiotic squirrels had told me what was wrong with me before leaving... Slynch thought with a growl.

Leaning on his new walking stick, which he decided would be his new staff sense his old one got stolen by a rat, he hurried over to St. Ninian's...

Suddenly, a barn owl swooped down and grabbed Slynch with her talons.

-~*~-

Referenge Dom hid in the bushes close to Malum and the others. He hadn't heard anything much, just the 'now' ending of the ferretmaid's song. Smirking, Referenge hopped out of the bushes, longsword swinging, and charged at Malum.

Suddenly, Slynch fell out of the sky, right on Dom's head. The weasel, with the help of his new staff, nodded to the barn owl, above them, and glared at the squirrel warrior, "You! You're that weasel!" Dom hissed, "I thought you were back at the Hoopper place!...I thought you were supposed to be a good weasel!"

Slynch glared, "Depends on how you know me," He cocked to his a bit to the side to look at Malum, "Mal, do you want to take care of this squirrel, or should I? I really don't care, as long as he's dead!"

Referenge growled and ran at them, Slynch brought out two knives and grimaced, "How about this: We kill him together!!"

[Malum]

Malum swung around and the tears stopped.

"SLYNCH?!?" Malum said skeptically.

Then, she saw his walking stick and that... squirrel attacking him. Before she new it, she had grabbed Taffy's sword and was swinging it around, trying to slay the squirrel.

"KRAAH! Looks to me like Mally gotsa BloodWrath!" Nyx said, screeching.

[Lisolette]

(ooc: Mal! When are you going to update your fic? )

BIC: Referenge Dom skipped to the side, only to receive a cut on the side. Dom swinged his sword at her face, and Slynch dived forward at Referenge, knives at the ready. One knife pierced through his leg, the other into his hip. The squirrel let out a hiss of fury and lunged at the weasel, cutting his palm and stabbing his back.

[Malum]

ooc: O.o That was creepy.... I am writing Chapter 2 of my fic. RIGHT NOW!

Malum screeched in pain and anger and the blade just took a nick off of her ear. She lunged at the squirrel, trying to knock him off balance so she could slay him for hurting HER Slynchie!

Nyx covered her eyes with her wings.

"Crahhhh... it'sa all ova for the little Mally now!" She said.

[Lisolette]

(ooc: xD Why?)

Referenge stumbled backward as Malum attempted to knock him over. Her plan would've worked if he hadn't dug his sword into the ground for balance. He swiftly took out of the dirt and swung the longsword at her, fury and hatred raging in his eyes.

But Slynch was on the job, besides his wounds. The cut the squirrel had given to one of his palms was hurting a pain that felt like a hundred fire-arrows was digging into it, so the weasel was forced to drop one of his knives, forcing himself to completely block out the pain in his back. Slynch darted forward at Dom with a tremendous speed, and before the blade could slice into his fair ferretmaid his knife stabbed straight through Doms right paw, its point hitting the hilt of the sword. The squirrel screamed in pain and rage as he dropped the longsword, "Cursed vermin!" He spat, holding his wounded paw.

Slynch took a dangerous step forward, "Yes. And you know what? We're a pair of cursed vermin that's going to drag you down into the deepest levels of Hellsgates..." The weasel growled warningly, eyes blazing. The squirrel glared back.

"And how are you going to do that?" Referenge challenged. Slynch leaped at him, but he was able to hop out of the way. But the squirrel couldn't escape Slynchs wounded paw. The weasel was to enraged to feel the pain. The paw grabbed Referenge Doms bottom jaw, and the weasel cruelly dragged the squirrel over to him, so close that their noses were only a hairsbreadth apart. Slynch held his knife an inch away from the back of the squirrels head.

"Think about it..." The weasel hissed, tickling Doms head with the knife point, "Get out, now. And if you try to harm Ma-" He stopped. Slynch didn't want the squirrel to know that it was Malum he was most worried about. It could give Dom ideas-kill Malum in a way to tuant the weasel, mess with his head. Get revenge. Slynch wouldn't allow it, "Mah' mates over there," He nodded to Malum and the others who had witnessed the battle, "You will scream until you can't scream-can't even whisper-ever again. And when you can't use your voice, I will throw you into Hellsgates. I promise you that..." Slynch hissed, and shoved the squirrel away. Cradling his wounded paw and glancing deadly glares over his shoulder, Dom hurried away.

"I'll be back! I'll kill you, your mate, and your drooling Wearet babes!" Referenge screamed before disappearing into the dark depths of the woods.

Slynch sheafed his knife and went over to Malum. He put his wounded paw on her right shoulder, the closest to him, and with his good paw he streched his arm and rested it on her left shoulder, "Are you alright, Mally?" Slynch whispered.

(ooc: Aw! How romantic! =^_^= )

[Malum]

OOC: OOOHHH!!! ROMANTIC!

Malum shook her head and looked at him, smiling...

"Yeah, I'm okay..." She said, looking back at the group of missmatched people that were her mates.

Nyx oped her eyes and moving her wing away.

"Ahh... That'll teech te tree-worm to messa with Mally and Sinch!" Nyx said, smiling and flapping her great wings.

Skipper stared open-mouthed at the scene.

"Uhhh... Yeah! WOOP! We showed him! Ra-rah...and Sis-boom-bah..." He trailed off.

Sir Chewy smiled at Nyx and spoke to Slynch.

"So, you much be the lover of Malum Martin spoke of..." He said.

Malum's eyes got wide and her mouth dropped open.

"Wha?" She asked, confused and embarassed.

Skipper's eyes also got wide and he stammered.

"What!?!?! MARTIN SPOKE ABOUT A FERRET! AND HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING OMINOUS? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" He screamed, tried to explain his ethics.

Taffy smiled at their faces and spoke.

"As if no one noticed how much Slynchy loves Malum! Malum sung a song about him, and Slynch probably was going to say Malum, but he broke off and said Mah pals.." Taffy said, smiling.

Silex slunk up and wrung his paws, gulping and trying to smile.

"Yeah... But what about the wolf and Chei... I mean the fox..." He said, stammering.

"What's wrong?" Sir Chewy asked.

"Noootthhhiiing..." He said, cringing.

"Tell me!"

"Fine... The..The... Bl...Blood... and the...Bo...Bodies...and the sounds!" Silex said with a gush, his cheeks turning red.

[Lisolette]

(ooc: If those Twihards want so much inter-species romance, they should join our site. ^_^

Who, geez, what could be happening between Convel and Awoone!? Now that I think about it, where IS Phrost?)

Ah, snap, wasn't Slynch in a fix!?

The first sentence of "love", "Malum", and "Slynch", the weasel flew away from Malum with his paws in the air, "Wha-What!?" Slynch gasped, "Prophecy!? Me!? Malum!? Ha, there's no way-..."

They didn't seem to be paying attention to him. They continued with the mentions of love, something that made Slynch awkward and prickly. But as they continued with their discussion, Slynch drifted to his past. He thought about the time where he led an army of both vermin and woodlanders against his adopted parents. For as long as Slynch could remember, he never regretted killing them. And his army, who had all been lead to their deaths becuase of him. He never regretted that too.

But now, Slynch did.

But what about Malum? No. She never harmed anybeast that wasn't evil. Some of the beasts he recruited were honst, goodbeasts who were just fighting for their family. But him? He made it so that they could never see there families again, and the weasel was fighting for power and revenge. Slynch grimaced. He didn't deserve Malum.

It was then that Silex piped up that he stopped thinking about his dark past. Slynch stepped over to Malum and squeezed her paw, "I'm glad you're okay..." He muttered, blushing. The weasel ripped the end of his shirt and tied it around his wounded palm. Ignoring the fact that his dropped knife was behind him, Slynch grabbed another one from his belt, "Come on," Slynch said in a serious tone, "We have to see what's going on..."

[Malum]

Malum smiled at Slynch.

"Yeah, can't wait to sink my teeth into that fox." Sge said, smiling deviously.

Silex gave an anxious smile and looked at Taffy. Taffy saw him and raised her paws.

"Oh noooo! I am not INTERESTED! I am a SINGLE ermine with NO interest in love! So DON'T look at me like that!" Taffy said, marching over to Silex and pointing her finger in his face. Malum smirked.

"Don't be so protective of you're heart Taffy!" Malum joked.

[Lisolette]

Slynch blinked at Taffy and Silex, "Come on! We have to see if that fox is dead yet!" The weasel urged with a slight twitch of his tail, "Silex, lead us to that wolf and fox! For all I know, they could've rolled down a hill and up a tree and down it again!" He huffed, going back to his usual state of mind.

[Malum]

"Ooookaayyy..." Silex stuttered. "This way..." He said pointing and walking back to where the wolf and fox were pre
