Chapter 10

                          Chapter 10
                Rocky the Big Bad Bully
Fritz got back to the "group" right away after thanking Sky. "What took you so long bro?" Sandy sputtered at Fritz scornfully, "We've been waiting HOURS!" Sandy finished, half amused. "Yeah bro! What took you so long? Have you been looking for "prey friends" again?" Rocky jeered at Fritz. Junx laughed so long that Rocky had to give him a cold stare that seemed to say "be quiet". "None of those guys! I found out that THERE is such thing as magic words!" Fritz burst out excitedly.
Sandy seemed to roll her eyes and Junx started a fit of laughter again. "Oh yeah, I knew about that Fritz, I just didn't want to tell you guys or you'll ruin the fun of magic." Rocky lied. Junx started to roll his eyes but Rocky glared at him, this time meaning to play along. "Oh, um yeah. Rocky knew ALL about that stuff but kept it secret." Junx finished, turning a little pale. "We aren't going to teach you, you know!" Rocky hissed at his sisters and at Fritz.
"THATS IT ROCKY!" Sandy growled as she tackled Rocky headfirst. Now they were all at least 6 or 7 years old and quite heavy. Rocky didn't care, he swiped at his sister and purposely slid out his claws. "You're supposed to keep your claws sheathed! I'm telling Spots and Claws!" Grassy cried. Before anyone could stop her she went running toward their den. Rocky rolled his eyes but kept quiet. Sandy's cheek had a big red scrape across it.
Suddenly Spots and Claws arrived with Grassy. "Rocky! We're ashamed of what we heard!" Claws growled. "Tattletail." Rocky whispered angrily. Spots grabbed him by his scruff and before he could complain about it she plopped him down awkwardly in front of their den. "You will be banned from going out of the den for a week!" Spots hissed even though she knew it was pretty harsh. Rocky acted like he didn't really care but inside his anger formed a round  ball, and all he thought about through those days were hate. All he cared about was himself and one day he thought he might run away. Fritz didn't know it but he and Rocky would have to live together...somewhere different.

Author's note:
Ooooh! Foreshadowing! Looks like maybe
Fritz and Rocky will have to live together in a 
different place! I wonder how they will
get to the "different place" and how will Rocky
will change...if he does...! (:

Chapter 9

                         Chapter 9
                   Flying With Sky
Meanwhile Sylia was learning magic, Fritz was gazing at the vultures, hawks, and falcons who were gliding above him. "I sure wish I could fly." He commented. "Well I can teach you!" Boomed a voice. Fritz looked around. Before Fritz could do or say anything a condor flew over. 
"I am Sky." Announced the condor, spreading out his wings, proudly. "Oh, I'm Fritz!" Fritz told the condor shyly. "Nice to meet you Fritz!" Sky said, in his loud hearty Chicago voice. "Fritz, I was like you when I was little. I actually never knew how to fly until I learned magic words!" Sky told him. "There are such things as magic words?!" Asked Fritz excitedly. "Yes, Fritz!" Sky told him in a quiet voice. 
"The word is...wait for it...javn!" Sky whispered to Fritz. "Now concentrate and say it!" Encouraged Sky. So thats exactly what Fritz did. "Javn!" Fritz cried. Fritz was suddenly gliding in the clouds. "Whoa Sky!" Fritz managed to say before making two loops in the air. Sky just smiled, he enjoyed helping animals.


Author's note:
If I make the text bigger for this. Anyway, it looks like Fritz is
is learning magic too!

Chapter 8

                          Chapter 8
            Magic of the Old Language
"Ummm, Sylia?" Darkstripe asked suddenly. "Yes?" Sylia grunted. "I, I, I know magic." Darkstripe stammered. Sylia's face went blank with curiosity. "Could you teach me? I would love to learn!" Sylia answered eagerly. "I actually learned it from Key and Roxy." Darkstripe blurted out. Sylia had no idea who Roxy was or Key but she listened intently.
"The word du si derumoni means raise trunk of tree. Now concentrate and say it, lets see what it does." Darkstripe told her, grinning. Sylia concentrated so hard that her head hurt. "Du si derumoni!" Sylia panted. The tree wobbled as it slowly came off the ground. "Now you can direct it somewhere and once you know where to throw it you say singr you will let go." Darkstripe directed gently. Sylia carefully put it back where it was before. "Wow! You're amazing, Darkstripe!
Darkstripe smiled. "Dark, Dark, Dark, you're still an apprentice sorcerer! You can't teach somebody until you're a master!" Roxy scolded with admiration, for she was proud that her apprentice was such a good teacher. "Sorry Roxy." Darkstripe murmured sadly. "Its fine. Now watch this!" Roxy told them. She started to concentrate. "Furerida byrd!" Roxy pronounced. A ball of fire formed between her wings, she threw it at the ground. "Wow! If only the cubs knew how to do this!" Sylia commented.


Author's note:
I was inspired to put magic pretend words in here like they did in the book Eragon. Finally Roxy is in the story again, right? No one would've guessed that Roxy knew the magical words, right? Surely surprising! Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Chapter 7 (different & new)

                        Chapter 7
                       Darkstripe
"Sorry Shong but I know you go unjust things and you are a bit mean to other people, I'll have to go with the cubs. I'm so sorry!" Sylia cried, looking at her paws sadly. "I KNEW NONE OF MY FRIENDS WOULD EVER STAND UP FOR ME!" Shong hissed, throwing back his head feathers with disgust. "What a friend you are Sylia. From now on you will be my ENEMY!" Shong yelled furiously. Shong's words stung Sylia. She betrayed her best friend! "Thank you Sylia!" Fritz purred. After cursing to himself, Shong disappeared with a cloud of smoke. "What happened?!" Claws asked as he ran toward them. "All I saw was Shong and you talking angrily!" Claws told them. "Well...Sylia had to make a choice between us and Shong and she chose us." Sandy told them, looking at Sylia with concern. "I knew I could trust you Sylia!" Spots purred happily, turning to Sylia who turned away. "You should be proud of yourself!" Claws protested, stunned. "DUDE! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Sylia roared at Claws. "You don't treat their dad and my mate like that!" Spots growled, baring her fangs. "Sorry..." Was all Sylia said before she left them and trotted away from their territory. "Hey, you look glum. What wrong?" Asked a black tiger. "Who are you?!" Sylia asked, half shouting. "I am Darkstripe. I was supposed to be shipped from a wood box but instead I was shipped from a permanent marker box! I got black ink all over me! Its permanent!!" Darkstripe hissed, staring at his ink stained fur. Sylia smiled and giggled, looking at Darkstripe. Darkstripe smiled at her. "You think that funny, huh?" He said, a tone of amusement in his voice. "Yeah...kinda. By the way, I'm Sylia the lioness." Sylia said. "So I suppose I'm Darkstripe the black ink stained tiger?" Darkstripe replied, watching Sylia laugh. "Do you know how funny you are Darkstripe? Also could I call you Dark?" Sylia asked still laughing. "Sure you can call me that, and I guess I'll call you Sylia." Darkstripe answered. Sylia didn't care if he didn't answer he question. She was just happy to find a new friend.

Author's Note:
 I'm too lazy to put Darkstripe on the "Characters" page yet.
Anyway, it looks like Sylia could've found a new best friend!
This Chapter 7 wasn't like the first one that I accidentally deleted but it is good enough for your viewing, I actually think this chapter is better than the first one!

Chapter 6

                          Chapter 6
                       Battle Practice
Once Sylia assured Claws and Spots that she could take care of their cubs they went out to have some time together. "Today I'm going to teach you how to battle!" Sylia announced. Rocky grinned showing his sharp teeth as the others listened and scraped at the dirt with excitement. "Oh boy! Now I can sharpen my claws for a reason!" Junx burst out happily.
"Remember to keep you're claws sheathed so you don't hurt anyone." Sylia instructed. Rocky looked disappointed since he wanted to leave some scratches on Fritz and get some to show off.
They practiced swiping at each other. After a few defense techniques they saw that Sandy mastered the swipe, Rocky mastered giving quick blows, Fritz mastered stealth, Grassy mastered at clawing ears and Junx mastered at giving a deep and quick bite.
Suddenly they heard a "poof"! A golden peacock crept out of the shadows! "Hey bud!" Sylia said happily bowing. "SHONG!?" Rocky hissed. "You didn't think you'd be seeing me anytime soon, huh cubs?" Shong croaked, staring into the blank faces of the cubs. "You know each other, great!" Sylia shouted, clearly surprised and happy. "Sylia, I've had a bad past with their father." Shong said hesitantly. Sylia didn't know whos side she should be on, a best friends or a friendly neighbor!

Stay tuned to find out!!!

Chapter 5

                      Chapter 5
                                   A Pride Situation
Fritz's parents were hunting together so they decided since they weren't going to be gone long so the cubs would do well on their own! Once their parents left they all took a walk. In fact they were talking and making so much noise that they weren't watching where they were going!!! When they finally realized they strayed too from their territory it was too late. Lions swarmed around them hissing furiously. "Is it too late to say sorry...or is it?" Junx asked.
The first lion, a large muscular male stepped forward. "You have strayed into my pride's territory! This means war!" The male lion growled. "Bu-but! We didn't mean to!" Sandy stammered. "They are cubs, Bones!" Another male lion called. Bones ignored him and launched himself at Rocky. Rocky managed to push him off. A lioness stepped forward and told the cubs to follow her out of the battle. When they were out they thanked her and introduced themselves. "My name is Sylia. Sorry about my dad! Hes always....you know pushy!" She said. As the lions realized that Sylia helped the cubs escape they charged at her. She dodged their blows and managed to give them some bruises and scrapes.
"This pride is harsher than others. I'm leaving!" Sylia growled at the pride as she followed the cheetah's back to their territory.
Right after the cubs got home their parents arrived. "Whats this lioness doing here?!" Claws asked suspiciously. "Her name is Sylia, she left her pride and saved us from major injuries!" Grassy piped up. "Oh, it was nothing!" Sylia said blushing. "Fine she can stay." Claws muttered. "Thank you!" Spots purred to Sylia. After they ate they fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 4

                     Chapter 4
                                          A follower
Rocky was walking as far away as they were allowed with Junx. Suddenly they heard wing beats in the sky behind them! They looked in the sky, Rocky baring his fangs and hissing as hard as he could and Junx looking anxiously. "Hi, I'm Roxy. I'm not sure if you knew this but I've been following you!" A starling said in her sing songy voice. "WHAT?! I, the best leaper, fighter and hunter of the family didn't know that?" Rocky said. "Well Fritz is the best leaper and Sandy is the best hu-." Junx said just before Rocky cut him off. "I meant I knew you were following me!" Rocky growled glaring at his brother angrily. Roxy started laughing.
As they padded back to their den they watched Roxy dive into a nest in a tree. "I think that starling has problems...." Rocky whispered to Junx. "Mhmmmmnnn." Junx mumbled. "NEXT TIME I FIND A BIRD I'M CATCHING IT, JUST WHAT DAD WOULD'VE DONE!" Rocky announced as they arrived at their den. "Next time? What do you mean "next time"???? I don't get it." Sandy said nearly yelling. "Its a long story sis." Junx muttered. "I have a name!" Growled Sandy. "Pretty feisty for a sister." Fritz whispered to Junx, giggling. Junx frowned and headed into the den. Fritz and Grassy followed. "I know what happened. You met a starling named Roxy." Sandy said to Rocky in a matter-of-factly voice. Rocky's jaw dropped open. "How did you know?! You've been spying on me again." Rocky growled narrowing his eyes. Sandy just grinned and headed into the den with Rocky following.
