Phantom Zone

 CHAPTER 1 

"What are you doing, Solstice?"

I looked up to see the alpha female, Vapor, glaring at me. "Oh, me? I'm not doing anything."

Vapor's grey ears twitched. "Exactly! Why aren't you preparing for the battle? The phantoms are expected to arrive in only a matter of days!"

I tried not to make eye contact with her, and fiddled with my paws. I had been trying to avoid this conversation. "I still think we can make peace with the phantoms, Vapor."

Vapor grabbed me by my tail and practically dragged me to the workshop.

"Solstice, I know you don't want to fight and all that, and you're scared of warfare, but at least help make weapons!" She looked desperate now instead of angry. I guess I didn't really understand how much this meant to her. If anyone died, Vapor would feel responsible along with Magnus, the alpha male.

I didn't want to argue anymore, but I still wanted to stop this war. "Vapor, I know you think the phantoms are evil and stuff. But what did they do to us? We haven't ever even encountered one before."

Vapor sighed and walked away, leaving me in the workshop alone.

The next thing I knew, I couldn't breathe.
