Shooting Stars

When I was 5, I was told that arguments cannot be solved by fighting.

My mama sat me down after a fight with my little brother. She told me to look around. Look at history.

She told me, "People expect fighting can solve all their problems. All you have to do is to look around and see where that brought us."

Yeah, I did after she told me that, because I was sent to the corner afterwards.

Chapter 1

The shooting stars

I gasp as I pop my head out of the water, coughing up blood. I was in a lake, I was safe from the bombs that exploded the city. The water was freezing cold, and my fur was now soak. As I climb to shore, I heard a few more splashes behind me. Two others wolves came out of the water, shaking from fear and the cold, gasping for the breath they dear needed. I watch them, not moving. They soon came ashore, falling onto the ground. One wolf was fully grey, except for some black spots. The other was a golden fur one with a white pelt. They look up at me, and I finally caught the colors of their eyes. The grey wolf had green, the other blue. Both where males. They reached for my paw, but I quickly pulled away. I then walk off, still shivering. In the distance, I heard screaming from my city, the sound of bombs blasting in the air and buildings falling.

We weren't the first city that was attacked. Aldan, Grande, Burke and a few others where attacked by the other side. As I shook my dripping fur, I padded to a tree and layed down next to this.

I just needed to remember what just happen.

The war started due to Mira and Zios. They got caught in a argument, and Mira accidentally snapped. She claim war, and soon as the news broke out, animals started taking sides. Cities where attacked. Alphas was against each other as well. Aldan was the first to be attacked, and it was horrifying. Soon then, other cities started getting attacked.

Out city, Ramu, called the bombs "Shooting Stars" because when a nearby city was being attacked, the bomb look like a shooting star of death and disaster.

Somebody of our city announce that they where going to attack us, and everybody was screaming and running. I even saw a few bunnies get lost from their mother. I didn't try to help. At a time like that, you need to help yourself and love ones. But, my mother went to another direction, and I headed to the lake. I saw a few other kids follow me as well, and we quickly leap into the water, hoping to escape the bomb.

We did, gladly.

But now, the questions lie; what's going to happen now?

I'm just some ten year old wolf, what am I suppose to do exactly without my mother?

Chapter Two

<p style="text-align:center;">The Fall of Ramu

<p style="text-align:center;">I waited, and waited. The sound of screaming filled the air, buildings falling down, and cries from the grieving ones. Rain poured from the sky, thunder striking as well. I was scared.

<p style="text-align:center;">I decided to look around, since sitting by a tree was hopeless, plus dangerous in a storm. I looked and looked, slightly hoping to find my mother. I missed her. I miss the smell of her perfume, the sound of the cackling fireplace and her soft, angel like voice as she read me to sleep. I want to see her again, I want to hug her and cry. Cry tears of joys and fear, just to see her again. I wanted my mother.

<p style="text-align:center;">I had no luck.

<p style="text-align:center;">I manage to find a rescue camp, and what I saw was so sad. Animals where scattered about, wounded, covered in ash. Some where crying, and lost children, younger then me looking for their dear beloved parents. I didn't help them. I watch as doctors ran toward other patients, mainly treating the ones who were mainly wounded. The chatter of the animals filled the air.

<p style="text-align:center;">I walked over to a pillow and sat down on it. I look around, and spotted a fawn. She found her mother, and she was crying and hugging her. Her mother splattered her with kisses, crying tears of joys as well. She seem happy to see her baby alive.

<p style="text-align:center;">I didn't cry.

<p style="text-align:center;">My mother wasn't here. So I didn't cry. I wanted to show I was tough.

<p style="text-align:center;">"Excuse me.."

<p style="text-align:center;">I jumped hearing the voice. It was soft, like a cloud. It was like my mom, but my mom had a better voice either way.

<p style="text-align:center;">I turn and look at the voice. It was a female fox, she had grey fur and white stripes, her blue eyes sparkled like a lake under the night sky. Her eyes stared into mine, worry was filled in it. "Do you need help finding your parents?" she asked. I shook my head. I can find my mother on my own.

<p style="text-align:center;">She tilted her head, her ears flattening. "Are you sure, young one?" Her voice was filled with concern as she asked.

<p style="text-align:center;">"Yes." I simply answered. It sounded like sandpaper, causing me to wince. It had been a while since I heard my own voice. Sighing, the fox padded off, heading over to other children who where separated from their parents.

<p style="text-align:center;">I regretted that.

<p style="text-align:center;">12:00 PM

<p style="text-align:center;">That was when I woke up. I didn't know how I knew what time it was, but I did. A little voice from the back of my head told me. I stretched, my back craking a bit. I let out a yawn, glancing at the sky. It was beautiful, but still dreadful. I sighed, looking around at the other sleeping animals. It had been a long night, and we all derserved some rest. Animals were finally patched up, water and food sitting by them. Children who didn't find their parents cuddled together, keeping each other safe and giving comfort.

<p style="text-align:center;">I wanted to join them, but I didn't.

<p style="text-align:center;">Looking around, I spotted two wolves awake.

<p style="text-align:center;">It was the two who tried to reach for my paw.

<p style="text-align:center;">They spotted at me, and the golden one glared, fury filling his blue, glimmering eyes. The grey one turned, and spotted me. She wasn't like the other. Instead, warmth and comfort filled her eyes, and beckoned me to come over. The golden one scoffed at her, mumbling something along the lines of "You're too soft.." or "Why would you do that?".

<p style="text-align:center;">My paws dragged me over to them. I didn't know why. As I got closer, they grew heavy, like stones. As I reach them, I sat down.

<p style="text-align:center;">"Hello." I manage to say. The grey wolf smiled, the golden one turn away, his back facing me. "Hello there, I'm Miko.." The grey wolf, Miko, said. "That's Darwin.. but ignore him, he's always grumpy." Darwin scoffed "Yes and you're always annoying.." He growled. I look back at Miko.

<p style="text-align:center;">"I'm.. Ryan.." I said in a quiet voice, my name rolling off my tongue. I winced from my raspy voice, but it didn't seem to bother Miko. She giggled. "I like that name.".

<p style="text-align:center;">I didn't say anything back.

<Poll> How is this story? Amazing! Good, but could use some work. Bad, could use a lot of work. Horrible!
