Melchior

Melchior came into the pack a few months before becoming a half-paw. She was raised and trained along side her best friends, the alpha's pups, Grey Sky and Honey Comb. The pups would always get into trouble together, and formed a deep bond. Unfortunately though, on the day Melchior became a half-paw, her best friend, Honey Comb, died tragically. Grey sky suggested the three of them go out of the camp and explore the wilderness. She lead them through the woods, and Melchior was excited to find out what was out there. She noticed Honey Comb was a bit uneasy. They went far out, and got thirsty. Grey Sky wanted to keep going, but Melchior and Honey Comb suggested they stop for a drink. Honey Comb lead the way to a small, clear pool. Grey Sky drank first, and came back to Melchior. Honey Comb went second. He was to busy lapping up the water to notice when something snuck up behind him.
"Honey Comb!"
Melchior, being very aware, saw it first. She yelled to the young pup, but it was too late. The crocodile'jaws slammed around Honey Comb's fragile torso, snapping his spine. Melchior and Grey Sky heard a horrid scream escape Honey Comb's mouth, but it was quickly cut off. Melchior and Grey Sky stared in horror the crocodile dropped Honey Comb's limp body. Tears flooded the she pups' eyes.
"Grey Sky.." Melchior whispered.
"I didn't mean it- I- I- ... Honey Comb..." Grey Sky stuttered, her teeth clenched and tears streaming down her face.
"Grey Sky.. We have to run." Melchior whispered, pain, sorrow, and emptiness in her voice.
Grey Sky nodded grimly, and the two wolves bolted back to the camp as fast as they could.

Wen they got to the camp, Grey Sky's father, Smoke, rushed to greet the pups. He nuzzled the girls in joy.
"I thought I'd never see you again! I'm so glad.." he smiled. After his initial joy, Smoke realized the pups were crying, and that Honey Comb was not with them.
"Grey Sky.." he whispered.
Grey Sky squeezes her eyes shut and clamped her jaws together.
"Grey Sky..." He said again, his voice drawn out and filled with worry. "Where... Where is your brother?"
Grey Sky forced herself to open her eyes, and started sobbing. Melchior felt tears start to form in her eyes, and she pushed her muzzle into Grey Sky's side. She felt Grey Sky move closer to her, and the two pups were curled close together, sobbing.
Melchior barely heard Smoke's voice when he barked: "Oh, Honey Comb! My son! My baby boy..." Smokes voice was filled with pain and rage.
"Sun Ray! That..." He growled., Then his voice softened. "Grey Sky... Melchior... It's going to be okay.." He layed down and curled himself around them, his tail draping over Melchoir's back. "It's going to be okay.."
