Pranta skipped(if wolves can skip) while she hummed through the cliffs. She was thinking about love and happiness. Skip skip skip. Hum hum hum. Love is a joy. Life is a pleasure. She noticed Onisim in front of her with 2 others. She skiped up to them.
"Hey Onisim! I haven't seen you for ages!" she said. She giggled and walked up to him. "Hi other peoples." she added. She gave Onisim a quick lick on the cheek. "So, you wanna go hunting?" she asked. She looked at her paws while she waited for an answer and shifted the snow under her paws.

Sapphire was about to answer, as her ears flicked towazrds the bush, hearing a low, deep growl, none other from a wolf. A Dancing Stars wolf. Great, now what? Did her parents send people to track her down or something? This was so unfair. She then turned to Pranta. "Hey, haven't I met you before?" Sapphire asked.
The black wolf climbed out of the bushes, as Crystal growled at her daughter and Onisim. "What are you doing here, Sapphire? Your father told me what had happened, and you aren't supposed to go near this wolf." Crystal snarled.
Sapphire growled back at her mother. "It's so unfair to me! You guys don't let me do whatever I want to do. I should have freedom in this world, Crystal." Sapphire growled, calling her mom by her actual name. And Sapphire wasn't scared. With Onisim here, she had nothing else to worry about right now.

Onisim was about to let rip with a fierce growl to show that he didn't appreciate being eavesdropped on, when Pranta came skipping up to him. Oh dear, two females? He could just about keep up with one; they talked so fast and were always trying to flirt with him, He just didn't understand the point of it when it wa so much mroe easy to be straight forward. He stood still with slightly stony eyes as she licked him, not returning the affectionate gesture but instead gave her a quick, charming smile.
"Oh, it's you, hello," He said simply, before shifting his gaze back to Sapphire. Wouldn't it be slightly rude to go hunting in the Falling Moon territory, where the prey was best but Sapphire couldn't come? Ah, who cares, he was hungry and he was a Falling Moon. Which technically meant he shouldn't care what other wolves thought. He opened his mouth to agree, when suddenly, yet another fae appearred. Oh god.
Onisim might not win any awards for his intellectual capacity, but it didn't exactly take a genius to work out that the dark fae and Sapphire were related, judging by the way they were adressing each other. As he heard himself mentioned, he grinned confidently, with devilish attitude. "So... Why's she not allowed to go near me?" He asked Crystal challengingly with a cool gaze, as he ambled upto her.

"Hmmm.... let me think. Because you are a Falling Moon wolf, and she is a Dancing Stars. A difference, can't you tell? And Sapphire, don't you dare call me by Crystal. You know better." Crystal challenged back.
"Hm, should I now, Crystal? Should I really know better? I would rather join Falling Moon then to be put down. My life is so unfair, I don't even know why I am still with Dancing Stars! I mean, everybody is so pathetic, and everybody always tests me. If only you guys knew the other side of me....." Sapphire snarled. She almost sounded like Cocoa, when she had left with Shaye. nobody had known about her devilish side. But then again, Sapphire may just be turning into a clone of Cocoa, almost. Well, at least the personality.

Again, another wolf appeared on the scene, intruding into the conversation. It wasn't however, another female. It was an imposing white wolf, his muscles rippling with grace and power underneath his fluffy, white fur. When his blue eyes took in the sight of the four wolves in front of him, the frown he was currently wearing deepened. It was Frosty, having followed Crystal to this exact spot. He had guessed that she was checking up on their daughter, and his suspicions were correct.
And now he was glad he had come, because although the argument had only just become, some damage was already done.
He stepped forward, no anger in his expression at all. Instead, he calmly padded his way towards Crystal, stopping by her side. He gave her a gentle and respectful nudge on the shoulder, breathing in her sweet scent. "Peace, Crystal. Sapphire is right. We have been unfair to her."
He licked his mate's ear, and then looked up, at Sapphire. He completely ignored Onisim and Pranta. He was only here for his daughter, and on any other circumtance he would rip to shreds any Falling Moon and any wolf having anything to do with them.
He gave his daughter an apologetic, sincere look, but lifted his head slightly to show that even though she was angry, he was still her father, and should be treated as such. "Sapphire, are you really afraid to have your loyalty tested?" he asked her quietly, gently. To show he wasn't here for an argument.

Crystal was about to let out another snarl, until she felt someone's nuzzle touch her. She turned to see it was her mate, Frosty.
"But Frosty, she can't like this-...." Crystal said, but stopped her sentence as Frosty spoke gently to Sapphire. She soon realized that her mate didn't want an arguement. He just wanted to talk.....
Sapphire's eyes softened as she saw her father. "Everybody treats me like a little baby, and I despise it! I'm growing up, and I should be allowed to become independent. Right now, I seriously am thinking about leaving to go to Falling Moon, because of the way everybody is treating me. You don't treat Toboe, or Takumi babish. It's only me, and I'm sick of it." Sapphire snarled, as she turned to Onisim, wondering what he would say.

Frosty blinked a few times slowly and thoughtfully as he listened to his daughter's speech. It was amazing to see just how much Sapphire really sounded like Cocoa, his other little girl. Was Sapphire going to make the same mistake as her aunt? Love blinded the eyes and the heart of young ones, but reality always comes back to bite you. Frosty supposed the same thing was happening to him right now. Perhaps the Cocoa situation was entirely his fault, and perhaps what was happening now was his fault, too. He took a deep breath, understanding what he had to do.
He took a step forward, his face solemn, humble, and apologetic, and adressed Sapphire like she wasn't his daughter, and instead, his equal, a pack-mate that he was friends with, and nothing more. "I understand what you mean, Sapphire. You are growing up, and you deserve to be treated like an adult. You can choose now where your heart lies and I won't try to stop you." He backed away until he was once again shoulder-to-shoulder with Crystal. Would Sapphire understand what he was trying to do? He was trying to show her that he loved her, and that she already was free. She already was independant. That, no matter how she looked at it, she was his baby girl and he would always care for her differently than he would his sons. But he would do it right this time; he'd back away and give Sapphire the freedom she desired, just like Cocoa had wanted a while back. He would give her a real chance to decide for herself. He really hoped Sapphire understood. He didn't want the past to repeat itself.

"Father, I know what you are trying to say. But if you look at how the others treat me, you would fully understand. That stupid Topaz is calling me a traitor, but then Thor, the Falling Moon member, actually understands me like Onisim does. I just really wish that somebody would see for what I truly am, past my purple blazing eyes." Sapphire said, her eyes staring straight into Frosty's.
Sapphire sighed, and realized she was just like Cocoa right now, her aunt. Cocoa had left Dancing Stars before, and went straight to Falling Moon with Shaye. Was Sapphire changing into her? Was she meant for this to happen to her? The fea wasn't sure. Nobody could really tell what their destiny was, not even anybody else's destiny. That was just life. Only their ancestors truly knew.

"But I certainly understand, Sapphire. I do. Trust me when I say I do," he told her, his voice rising slightly in desperation for her to understand. It was bad enough that she was being influenced by others, but Sapphire was also being both immature and expressing her rights by reacting so bitterly towards name-calling. "Listen, Sapphire, I know how much you want to be grown-up, but you also need to understand that you can't just expect yourself to have everyone's respect right off the bat. If you're not going to behave like an adult, if you're going to keep throwing tantrums because people don't understand how you feel, then you will always be treated like a pup. Prove yourself loyal and ignore others when they try to bring you down. Then you will truly be independant." He curled his tail upwards and slightly bared his teeth, to enhance the power of his words. He meant every word of what he said, and if Sapphire didn't understand what he meant, than he knew that she still needed a lot more room to grow. "Listen to me, Sapphire. There are times when I, too, feel like my words seem hollow to others; like they don't want to hear what I say. At one time I felt worthless because my depression got so bad that all I would do is sit around and sulk about better days, instead of trying to make due for a better future. It's tough to be treated like an adult, Sapphire. And I know it's tough when you feel like nobody understands you. Sometimes not even yourself." He paused, furrowing his white brows and slowing down the pace of his tone. He hoped he was getting his point across. Even so, his lesson wasn't over with yet. "Do you really think Onisim can understand you? Can he really understand the strength that has been impressed into your paws? You grew up in troublesome times, Sapphire. There were days when I wasn't sure if I would be able to come home and feed you, Takumi, and Toboe. But Onisim grew up in a time of glory and prosperity. He is the son of an evil Alpha, and although he might now tell you that you can trust him, things will change in the near future. What makes you think that he won't turn your back on you any chance he gets? He walks in the footsteps of his father, Sapphire," Frosty growled softly, glancing over at Onisim with a sharpness. "And don't tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about, Sapphire. Just take a look at you. Who do you remind yourself of? Who, Sapphire?" Near the end of his speech, his voice cracked a bit, and tears welled up in his eyes. He managed to get this far without breaking down, but the memories of those horrible days came flooding back to him, the days where he and his three siblings were fighting, and the days where he wasn't sure whether or not he would see Cocoa again. If Sapphire decided that Dancing Stars wasn't for her, then Frosty would have face the same fear again, except, this time it would be his daughter. "Sapphire..." he started again, after a long silence. "Don't let what Topaz said get to you. Just.. Just prove her wrong. You're not a traitor."

Onisim's hackles raised as another wolf, presumably Sapphire's father by the way he acted around her, arrived. He'd probably try and hassle Onisim for hanging around with his daughter, for christ's sake. It wasn't as if it was even Onisim's fault, Sapphire was the one who was following him around; it wasn't as if Onisim had arrangedt o meet up with her or anything. Why was Sapphire so keen on hanging around him, anyway? He had no clue.
His eyes darted from left to right warily, watching each wolf as they took it in turn to speak. Soon, he lost track of what they were saying; he'd never been particularly good with words, let alone speeches. He zoned out until he heard his own name.
"Jees, don't look at me," he retorted, scowling, "I'm not anything to do with Sapphire. We just crossed each other's paths, like, once."

Sapphire's ears flicked as Onisim spoke. Is that what he thought of her? Just some wolf who was trying to be his friend? Her eyes swelled up, though she didn't show it. Sapphire used her paw to wipe away the salty tears. "I hate my stupid family! Why can't I just have a friend for once where my parents and brothers aren't following me everywhere! I mean, come on! I am growing up to be an independant wolf, and I don't see why I have to have so many burdens in my freaken life. It's so freaken unfair, that I really wish I wasn't Frosty's and Crystal's freaken daughter!" Sapphire snarled, her eyes full of fire. "I can't believe I am even related to you two!" Sapphire snarled, running off, tears trailing behind her.

Frosty didn't understand why Sapphire had to keep insisting that she was never kept alone, that she never had a chance to be independant. Did he really smother the ones he loved? He was always told that he was the quiet and solitary one, the one who should be more time with his family. Sometimes Frosty wondered if Sapphire was actually Cocoa's daughter instead of his.
Without bothering to pursue her, Frosty felt so deeply cut that he just turned away and began his trek home. If Sapphire was too blind to see what kind of family she truly had, then she didn't deserve the priveledge and honor of being a Dancing Star. She'd have to grow up first and make a few mistakes. Frosty growled out loud, his pride shattered as he turned his back on his daughter.
