Solar Racer frowned at Icefire,giving him a quizzical look. Then he spoke up.
"So you want her to come to you,so she doesn't have the chance of being slaughtered. So if you went to her,then that would mean that you loved her. You never will love Aurora,will you? Because you are to busy pondering the past and not moving on. Poor little pup." |

Icefire shook his head. "No not quite right. I know HERE is the only place she can be fully safe from Nightdemon. I know that if I DO follow her she will die. but... Its just I don't KNOW if I love her or not. I don't KNOW whether I just love her for her likeness to Moon or whether I acctually love HER."

Ruebura sat, astonished, blindly staring at the dirt below her paws. She could hardly listen, feeling like she had been caught by the crush of the wave, her breath was short, and her mind buzzed. Thoughts were fuzzy, they blended together in the midst of conversation. Ruebura hadn't an idea why she felt like this. It was too much for her, but she had to stay, she had been ordered instructions by an Alphen.

Icefire sat his head bowed to the wind. His eyes were sad. What am I to do? was all he could think.

Ruebura turned to Icefire, her mind suddenly cleared. Eyes were filled with sorrow, but also deep understanding.
"Solar Racer is right, you must go and speak to Aurora. You have had a rocky past, but so has she. Hunting can come later, this cannot. I don't know what act that fae will turn herself to, but it shan't be good for us."

Icefire looked at her with so much sadness it looked like it could swallow him up. "I can't I just CAN'T. Nightdemon will get to her! I can't let that happen! Not again! I promised NEVER again."

Bowing her head, Ruebura felt disappointment consume her inside out. Icefire wasn't what she had expected...he was haunted by his own past, too attached to it to let it go, yet too frightened by it to move on.

His body shuddered with a small convulsion as another wolf leaped onto his back. "Don't listen to him!" the new wolf yowled. The two wolves tangled together. For the first time the wolf that claimed to be Icefire showed the left side of his face. A long scar ran down his muzzle. The second wolf that had apeared trembled with rage. "How DARE You!" He pinned the first wolf down. "Look upon his face learn the scar! It is his mark! Never let Nightdemon fool you! WHAT has he done to Aurora?! What has he told her?!" His eyes flashed in fury. The real Icefire stood his body pinning Nightdemon to the ground.

Frost caped feminine watched in shock and horror at the wrestling brutes. The ugly scar was turned toward her, burning through her pelt, into her soul. Trembling slightly, Ruebura stood, her eyes pasted to Icefire and Nightdemon. Her thoughts whirled, caught by surprise.

Icefire pushed Nightdemon to the ground. "Don't let him trick you. What did he do?"

Confusion swirled through the ivory fae, Iceclaw and Nightdemon? They were identical, except for the long scar that ran down Nightdemon's face. Ruebura stared blindly through the trees, her vision going blurry. Tears welled up along her ebony eyes, though she didn't know why they were there.

Icefire stared angrily down at Nightdemon. "Give me one reason to destroy you and I swear I will." Nightdemon looked up at Icefire with hatred. His plan had been going so well.

The ice draped fae turned away, not wanting to watch or hear anymore. She felt weak, not physically, but mentally, and emotionally. Tears slid down her mug and seeped into the soil below her paws. But she couldn't leave, something was keeping her here, holding her back...

Icefire turned his attention to Ruebura. "Ruebura what did he do to Aurora? Whats wrong?"

Ruebura shook her head, then turned her gaze to the Alphen.
"Aurora's heart is broken, Icefire. You must go and help her."
Her tears had evaporated, and she felt stronger. It hadn't been Icefire who had ripped the poor fae's heart apart, it had been an impersonator. But how would Aurora understand? It would be so hard for her to accept the truth...

Icefire gave her a thankful nod. "This will be difficult. Thank you Ruebura. Oh but first you deserve the full story AND the true one. Moon was a real wolf. But she wasn't my love. She was my sister." He leaped off Nightdemon. "You make any trouble while I'm gone and you won't live long. Ruebura make sure before you trust someone that looks like me you see ALL of me. I don't want Nightdemon to hurt you." He nodded his head. "I must go." then he turned and loped away pushing Nightdemon out of the Andrathorn with him.

The ivory fae nodded toward the departing Alphen.
Ruebura wondered how long Nightdemon had pretended to be Icefire. She was still very confused, but she felt calmer now. And Moon, she had been her Alphen's sister, not love. Sighing heavily, Ruebura watched Icefire race away.
