I stared in shock at Subira's huge form, but shook myself. I had to stay strong!
I crouched low and let a snarl rip through my body. I felt myself morph, and I wallowed in it. I also didn't want to hurt my opponent, but I would do anything to prove myself worthy of the title of leadership. My wolf form appeared and I smiled easily at the lion. Suddenly I froze as the scent of blood came to my nostrils. Without thinking, I breathed in and my tongue lolled out. I felt myself quiver and my form change ever so slightly.
My claws and fangs grew even larger, and my form also became larger. I knew this was only a half-way transformation in my True-Form's favor, but I was happy with it. I still had my mind in check, and I hoped I would easily beat Subira. I felt myself lean forward and bared my teeth as a growl now entered in my throat. With a deep, stone-like voice, I called out to Rane.
"Stay far away Rane. If my True-Form continues to take over my body...I won't garantee I won't kill you." I gave a throaty chuckle at myself. I was a wolf in nature, and a wolf I'd stay. I felt no anger or grief now; all I felt was the sensation of digging my fangs into flesh and a joy from the thoughts of killing.
"If you won't make the first move, I will!" I howled savagely before taking a leaping bound at Subira. Pure ecstasy from fighting crossed my face in mid leap. Time to show Subira what I was made of!

Subira roared and leapt at Cat. they clashed in mid-air, and Subira brought her claws into play. She ripped huge gashes in Cat's shoulder with just the tips, trying not to hurt her too badly.She open her mouth wide, the huge teeth glisening with saliva and wolf blood. Subira roared again, and dug her claws deeper into Cat's shoulder. She hit bone, and withdrew hastily. She pulled herself off Cat, cataloged her wounds, and prepared for another charge. She would let Cat come at her. And hse would win. She glanced quickly at Rane. she hated to hurt his friend, but it had to be done. She turned back to Cat, and growled. Cat was clawed to the bone. Maybe this fight could end before she had to bring her teeth and full power into play.

I howled in agony as I felt her claws hit my bone. Flinging myself backwards, I panted heavily as blood ran down my shoulder. I wouldn't give up though, so I charged Subira with an angry bark. I slammed my paw down on her head and spun around to grab her tail in my jaws. I bit softly, where I barely broke the skin; she didn't want to hurt me, so I didn't want to hurt her badly. I leapt back away and watched the lion with wary eyes; trying to calculate her next move.

Subira roared again. She narrowed her eyes, and charged. This time, she went low, lowering her huge head and opening her jaws wide. the top of her skull hit Cat in the chest. She grabbed Cat's right front leg in her jaws, and tossed her. As Cat left her mouth, Subira heard a loud cracking noise, and cursed herself. She had broken Cat's leg. There goes the "I don't want to hurt you too badly" strategy, Subira thought. I guess I should back off now. i hope Cat decides to give up now. It will be too easy to hurt her if she can't walk properly. Subira growled at herself and backed off to let Cat recover. she wouldn't attack Cat unless the wolf-hybrid attacked her first. She wondered where Ruby was right now, what she was doing.

I bit my tongue and felt pool in my mouth. The breath was knocked out of me as Subira hit me, and when she grabbed my leg, I felt it break. I laid there on the ground quietly for a moment as I felt my heart beat. Once...twice...thrice...suddenly it stopped and I gasped for air. I knew what was happening.
"Rane, get away!" I barked hoarsely in between gasps.
Suddenly I felt as if another being had entered me and taken over my body. My body curled into itself before pulling back out; I was now the size of Subira in length, and even larger in height. My fangs and claws grew even longer, and my eyes suddenly had a red film over them, meaning my eyes had turned blood-red. I felt a chain around my neck and wings pulled out from my back painfully. They looked like a torn bat's wings. Blood splattered out of my mouth and made the ground at my paws a scarlet red. Suddenly, I wasn't me.
Without a second-thought, my body leapt at Subira with the intention of killing her. My large paw came down hard on her lion head and I knocked her away. With a feral roar to the blue sky, I sauntered over and placed my paw on her throat. I pressed down until I heard her gasp for breath.
Stop! This isn't me! I'd never kill another innocent soul! I felt myself suddenly have partial control of my body. I pulled my paw back shakily and turned it on myself. With a roar, I began to dig my claws into my skin and watched as even more blood sprayed the ground. I ripped through skin and muscle, all the way to bone. Then I would pull back and slash at myself even more.
I hated myself. I wanted to die. I was like the Chimera in the story who spoke to a human and asked him to kill her. He obliged and all was left was her blood sprayed on a brick wall. Soon I felt my claws slash uselessy; I was close to dieing; I could feel it. A large pool of blood laid around me and with a soft whimper, I fell into it, and closed my eyes.

Subira's eyes were wide open. What was happening? All she could she was blood, she couldn't breathe... The horrible pressure lifted, but Subira was still in shock. She couldn't move, couldn't think. She was drifting away. The pain was dimming... and then she took a breath. She was thrust roughly back to life, her wounds burning, Sound roared in her ears, screeching and crying and a hideous splashing sound. but her vision was still red. She curled up and transformed, shrinking until she was just a regular girl. with a tail, teeth, and blood all over her. Her wounds were gone, sucked in with the fur, except for the bite on her tail, and her headache. She shook her head, and her vision cleared. There was Cat, thrashing in a puddle of red. Something must have snapped, because she was clawing weakly at herself. Subira transformed once more and leapt toward Cat. She stopped catiously and gently held cat down with claws sheathed. Even half-dead, her 'True-form', as she called it, was insanely strong, and but Subira didn't want Cat to kill herself either. she gestured to Rane frantically with her head. they had to get Cat to transform, and calm down, or she would bleed to death.

I stared weakly up at Subira with my bloody eyes. I sighed softly as the pain began to dull. Was I dying? Is that why the pain faded? Or was it merely because I refused to take my eyes off of Rane and Subira. "Thank you..." I whispered, finally feeling myself curling and returning back to human form.
My skin was torn and I wasn't sure if I had majorly hit any bones, organs, or arteries. Who knew? Lying there, in your own blood...it really makes you think about what you've done with your life. And with a nod of my weak head, I knew my life had been worth it...

For the entire fight Rane had stood off to the side with his teeth clenched. He hated to see Cat being hurt and it went against every part of him to allow it. Finally when it all seemed to be over he rushed to Cat's side. "Cat!" He called urgently as he stopped at her side. He could see the torn skin and the blood all over her. "Oh god..." He whispered, he wanted to reach out and touch her but he was was afraid to touch her. He didn't want to cause her anymore pain than was needed. "Anything broken?"

Subira looked guilty. "Her leg is, at least. I snapped it, before..." Subira trailed off. She had heard rumors about the demon wolf that had escaped, but she had no clue what it was like. She shuddered, and her tail twitched uneasily.
She licked the blood from her razor-like teeth and sighed. human blood tasted horrible, salty and bitter. The only blood that she enjoyed shedding was that of the Scientists. Especially Eraser. She craved Eraser blood.
At first, she had been afraid that Cat's blood would taste too much like their's, but Cat had much more bitter blood, much more human, although you couldn't tell from looking at her vicious form, as Subira was coming to call it. She didn't think that it was Cat's True Form. Her True Form, in Subira's opinion, was herself, a quirky but kind human girl. that was the form that she should have. Subira had a human heart, even if she loved her lion form, but Ruby really was a puppy. That was the form she belonged in.
she knelt over Cat and felt for a pulse, and she found one. "Her pulse is a little weak, but she is strong. She should be fine, in a few days. We just don't want her wounds to get infected, " she told Rane. She found one wound, on Cat's shoulder, that had been gouged deep by her own claw. she took her hand away guiltly and turned to Rane again. "Call the others. You have to get them all over here. Cat needs help getting back to your place." She winced as she spread her wings. Cat hadn't hurt her bad, but her head ached something awful where Cat had hit her.

Aaron had been flying around, searching like mad as to where half of the Flock had disappeared off to. He was about ready to kill someone in impatience before he smelled Cat's blood...and there was a lot of it. In shock, he swooped directly down to where he saw red cover green. When he landed, his black wings folded in and he snarled so loudly, it echoed through the forest.
"What the hell happened to her, Rane?" He snapped, grabbing Rane's shirt as he gestured with his head to Cat's limp form. "If you or that mongrel right there did it to her...I swear I'll kill ya." Aaron's eyes were blazing with fury and honesty; he'd do it, too.

Subira flared, her lips curling back to reveal her razor-sharp lion teeth. "Mongrel?" she asked in a soft dangerous voice. Her blood was already begining to boil. Something about this guy made her mad. She was already resisting the tempation to transform and rip his throat out. Her long slender tail thrashed back and forth. Her eyes were aggressive slits. She hadn't wanted to hurt Cat, but this one had better watch his back if he was going to insult a lioness!

Aaron narrowed his eyes at the Experiment. "So you're a lion, eh?" He asked coldly, turning away from Rane for the moment. If they got to fight...well, it'd be interesting for a lion and tiger to fight it out. Aaron could already feel himself pulling at the water in the river nearby. He loved how he gained a recent power; the ability to change water into ice, and freeze his opponent. Yet with a grunt, he realized he wouldn't be wise to try to use it now, since it was too hot a day, and he had also never tried this before in a real battle. It would take more practice...so he remained defensive instead of offensive.

Rane pulled away from Aaron with a growl. "I didn't do this too her, she did it to herself!" He stated through gritted teeth. "She went up against Subira in her true form and was almost killed." He added as he bent back down to evaluate their leader. Subira hadn't been lying about the snapped bone and he cringed when he saw it. It would take a while for that one to heal even with their speed up healing abilities. "Oh Cat..." He groaned before looking up sharply at Aaron and Subira. "Aaron! This is no time to fight, we don't need another of the Flock hurt if you haven't noticed." He snapped up at the younger male. Then he turned his gaze on Subira a dark light flashing in his eyes. "As for you, since you are our new leader, you shouldn't be focusing on hurting a healthy member. What you should be focusing on is helping me get Cat to a more comfortable place and clean her wounds." He stated coldly.

Aaron felt his eyes bug out at Subira and Rane. "New leader?! What drugs have you all been taking?!" He raged as he walked over to a tree and punched it. He was frankly pissed off and about ready to rip this very tree out of the ground. Images of a few months before flashed through his mind and he groaned out loud. Aaron vividly remembered Rane kissing Cat, and he still hated him for that. Biting his lips, Aaron let his head bang against the tree before he merely pressed his forehead against the bark. Worrying about Cat was going to kill him one of these days!

Subira winced away. She hated the steely look in Rane's eyes. She didn't want them to hate her! Grr... She shook her head and nodded. "You're right," she said, looking Rane in the eye. "I don't know where the others are though, or where you're based. Hey, tiger, go grab the others. Rane, we're going to carry Cat up to where ever you live." Her voice was ringing with authority. she carefully picked up Cat's top half and spread her wings. She knew that together she and Rane could eaisly lift Cat, and Rane could lead her to where they could rest.

"We have no home." Aaron lightly growled. He turned with a snort and walked over to his Leader's limp body. "What have you done to yourself, this time, Cat?" He whispered as he leaned down to pick her up. He lifted her, and found much to his surprise, she was heavier than he thought. "A little help here, morons?" Aaron asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Rane growled at Aaron his eyes narrowing. "Watch it Aaron." He warned as he went over and maneuvered Cat so that her weight was evenly distributed to the both of them. "We may not have a home now, but we can find somewhere to set her down and safely check her wounds." He stated his voice firm as he looked from Aaron to Subira as if he was waiting for one of them to disagree. He opened his black wings fully and waited for the other two to follow suit.

Aaron opened his wings and narrowed his eyes at Rane. "I still don't trust you; remember that." He snapped coldly.
_____________________________________________________________
As my lovely Flock members were fighting, I had been roused from unconciousness.
"Are you all really that thick?" I croaked, shocking them. "Dying person here; ya gonna let me bleed to death? Or are ya gonna dig me a hole to bury me in?" My good humor and sense of sarcasm was beaten to death as my voice came out pathetically. Truth was, I was scared I was going to die. Believe me; a leader isn't supposed to be afraid of anything, but life sucks, right? We don't get what we want.
