So I got a really cool idea when I was driving to the lake! I think you guys will like it!
The Main Idea
- On the first week of every moth I will hold a contest. The contests will be quite random. Some may be artistic or have to do with writing. Others may just be who can get the highest score on a game! xD But the winner of every contest will get to choose a prize. The prizes will be cool things.
The Rules
- No Cheating. This won't exactly come into play with artistic or writing contests. More with contests that have to do with games. If I find that you somehow cheated you will receive a warning on you account.
- Play Nice! Be respectful of everyone else and their work!
- No Begging! I hate beggars. If you beg you are not going to get the prize!
- Have Fun! This is what the contests are all about! I want this to be a fun experience for everyone!
- You Don't Have to Enter! This is only if you want to!
This Months Contest.
Since many people seem to be in a writing mood this months contest will be based on writing. You will write a story that has to do with one of your characters on Silent Howls. It can be about anything though! It could be about your characters past or a time they found a magic carrot! I don't care!
The Rules for This Contest!
- The story must be about one of your SH characters.
- It must be at least three paragraphs long! But it can be longer if you want!
- Post your story here when you are finished with it.
- Please try to use proper spelling and punctuation.
- No stealing others ideas.
Other Info on the Contest
I will be judging. The winning story will be the one I like best. The contest ends on August 28. I hope that is enough time. Please post on this thread if you will be participating in the contest.
Prizes!
The winner can choose one of these prizes!
- Give one of their wolves a major power. (Power must be accepted by me.)
- Words underneath their name. (Like mine.)
- The next time of of your characters has pups you can choose everything about one pup. (Like their gender, appearance, etc.)
- You can make your own Fang and have complete control over them. But the name must fit the others! If you choose this prize I will have to OK the character and make sure it is 'Fang quality.'
- You can make something crazy (like very weird) happen in one of your threads you are rping in. (Or make another thread.)
- Make up a special item that you can give one of your characters. The item can have a 'power'.
- I will think of more later! If you have prize ideas also post them here!
Thanks guys! I hope you like this! Start writing!

OK I finally finished but it is LONG!!!!!
Prologue
Welcome to my nightmare or as I should say soon to be your nightmare. To sum this all up, Im warning you. Then again you don’t know what Im talking about, so what’s the point? Anyways let’s get this over with. Oh and I don’t want this to be a 100 page book about my life. More like a couple of chapters (short chapters) of the worst things that have happened to mio. OK so let’s get the whole gushy family stuff over with.
My name is Mickey. Ok to some of the humans that might sound like a mouse name, but Im talking to fellow wolves’ right? Im also a wolf, and you are probably thinking OMG how could a wolf type? Deal with it. I have two siblings. Mia she is the oldest. She’s a [insert cuss word of your choice]. She is brown with a white tail tip. I also have a brother, Mike. He is just plain annoying. He is all black, like mio, with light brown paws.
Now Im warning you. Dead serious about this to. Im telling you, not lying, but telling you. This could put your life and mine in danger. So if you dare yourself to read on then go ahead. Be prepared though. It’s going to be a wild ride.
-Mickey (hope your ready)
Chapter 1.
Bang another gun shot filled the air. I cuddled closer to mom. My tiny paws scratched the dirt franticly. “When is this over” I squeaked. Mia turned her gaze to me. “What are you scared or something” She hissed. Another bang sounded and she jumped. I held back from laughing. She was scared but wouldn’t admit it. Mom looked at me kindly. “Its okay” She said soothingly. I closed my eyes. Another bang. I squeezed my eyes tighter till water trickled down. Mom looked up sternly. I opened my eyes and followed her gaze. “Where’s daddy?” I asked. Mike looked sleepily upwards at me. “Don’t ask me” He mumbled. Another bang sounded and his eyes grew wide. Mike scrambled over to mom and nestled in with me. Mia rolled her eyes. “Im not…..”She was suddenly caught off by a louder bang. A dark shadow like figure suddenly appeared from the night’s mist. The figure limped and all you could see was a blood soaked face. Its yellow eyes pierced through the black. Its face was twisted in an anguished expression. I recoiled back in fear and shock. Mom suddenly bolted upwards. “No please no” She whispered. I looked at her confused. Suddenly the figure dropped. It was dead, a lifeless body feet’s away from me. Mom ran over to the body and dragged it in. A trail of blood followed them. I inched towards mom. She bared her teeth as a signal to get back. I blinked. Mom threw the body to the ground. That was my chance. I bolted to the body then gasped. The smell was all too familiar, even when it was coated in blood. Mike and Mia scrambled over to me. Mia’s eyes grew wide and tears formed in her eyes. Mike just stood there expressionless. I tried to hold back tears. Then again I’m a cry baby. I started sobbing. The wolves shoulder was split wide open. You could see the bone as it jutted out of the wound. His black fur looked red. Though the thing that stood out the most was his eyes. They were blood shoot red and his pupils seemed to have gotten small. I stifled back a wail. The thing was…that was my dad.
Chapter 2.
Rain splattered on the dens roof. I was with Mike. “Get it!” He yelled. I jumped upwards and grabbed the leaf. It had only been two days since dad died. Everyone was still shaken by his death. Mom wouldn’t tell us how he died though. Mia rolled her eyes at us. “You two act like puppys”she barked. I rolled my eyes. “Maybe because we ARE puppies” I retorted. Mia did a quick snort. Mike looked at me all bugged eyed. “Well I think you are a puppy…Im not” He barked proudly. OK rolling eyes is like addicting or something. I rolled my eyes AGAIN. “Hello Im INCHARGED” Mia growled. I shot her a glance. Mom was out hunting. I stretched my legs ignoring Mia. I then licked my pelt till it was a shiny black. Mike copied me. I looked at him and he looked at me. ‘What are you doing?” I asked. “What are you doing?” He repeated.Mia laughed. “Good luck with that one Mickey” She barked. Mike looked up at Mia. He did a quick laugh. “Good luck with that one Mickey” He repeated. I smiled. Mia just glared at Mike angrily. “Cut it out” She snapped. Mike hid between my legs. “Look what you have done” I teased. Mia stood up. She bared her teeth. Suddenly a chilling scream echoed through the forest. My ears pricked and Mia looked up. “Whaa……..”I managed to say before Mia cut me off. “I’m going to see what that was” She barked. I jumped. “I wanna go” I barked back. “Besides I’m too young to watch Mike” I said making my point clear. “Fine” She grumbled. I shook my pelt to get all of the dirt off. Then I walked out of the den, my heart was racing. I took a deep sniff. We rarely went into the forest for an odd reason. The damp smell of the forest flooded over my senses. Leaves would break at every step. The forest was alive with birds that sang in the trees. I closed my eyes. It felt good, and peaceful. It was only for a second though. Another earth shattering scream made the birds stop singing. I started heading towards the sound. The forest started growing quiet. A dark shiver ran through my spine. I ducked my head down and flattened my ears. A twig snapped and I turned around. “Mom” I whimpered. A buck lifted its head. I jumped back and continued walking.
It was getting late. The sky was dark and bright stars twinkled. My tiny paws dragged. I was exhausted. But I surged onwards. I was determined, and not in a good way. My stomach growled. I gave out a long sigh. Suddenly a smell came to my nose. The smell of blood. I wrinkled my nose in disgust. “What the heck”I barked. I walked faster then stopped. A wolf lay on the ground. Its ears were flattened yet I still couldn’t see the head. A pool of blood surrounded the wolf. I stepped forward. A sickening feeling was at the pit of my stomach. “Hello” I whispered. It didn’t move. I crept closer. “Hi” I barked quietly. It still wouldn’t move. I leaned over to see who the wolf was. Now I wish I hadn’t. The face was all too familiar, and the smell was easily recognized even by the blood. “Mom” I whispered. Tears formed in my eyes. “Mom” I barked again. I shook her body. “Wake up” I whimpered. The feeling got worse. Then my heart just stopped .Mom lifted her head weakly. “Mickey” She whispered blood dripped from her mouth. “Mom” I choked. She gave a half smile. “I will always love you” She barked hoarsely. I shook my head. “No I will bring you home and take care of you” I cried. She drew a ragged breath. ‘That wont work Mickey…my time is up” With that said she laid her head on the ground and closed her eyes. “Wake up” I whimpered. I shook mom’s body, it felt cold. I wanted her to be asleep. I didn’t want to face the horrible truth. Mom was dead. To make things a whole lot better, I made a vow. To find whoever and whatever did this. Yet I didn’t know it would find me first.
Chap 3.
It had been a year since those terrible yet mysterious deaths took place. To recap these events lets just say mom and dad died. I had to bring the awful news of mom’s death. And well it’s been a year of mourning. I was a little bit taller than Mike only because he was the youngest. Mia was taking care of us now.
I sat down. Mia was grooming Mike. Her belly carried soon to be pups. Mia had mated another wolf that I didn’t like. “Ouch not there” Mike complained. Even though he was older than a pup he still acted like one. “Quit acting like a baby” Mia growled. Mike rolled his eyes. I stood back up. I then stretched my legs. “Hello” A deep voice barked. I looked at the entrance of our den then looked away. It was Aborn, Mia’s mate. “Hey Aborn” Mia barked happily. “Hey Aborn”I sneered in a high pitched voice. Aborn looked at me disgusted. “Anyways” He barked turning his attention back to Mia. Mike scrambled over to me. I turned around. “OK get the kissing over with so he can leave” I grumbled. Aborn sighed. “I am taking Mia somewhere” He barked. I stared at him. You don’t want to mess with me when I’m in mad protective mode. “Well why don’t you take her on a date tomorrow” I snapped. Aborn rolled his eyes and Mia looked a little taken aback. “Let’s go” She barked. Aborn lead Mia out of the den. I watched them, and then turned back to Mike. “How bout I teach you how to spy”
Chap 4.
Mia turned her glance to Aborn. It was a crystal clear night. She sighed. Mia pressed her head on Aborns chest. They sat on a hill over looking the Man village. Fire crackled next to them. Aborn had stolen the fire from Man and put it there for Mia. She looked at the fire nervously. It hissed and burned. The air was heavy from its smoke. “Aborn don’t you think the fire is well big?” She asked. Aborn looked down at her and smiled. “Nope” He barked. Mia twitched uneasily. There was something about the smile that made her sick.
I lay down. Mike was next to me nearly bursting with excitement. “So what’s next” He whispered. We were on top of a cliff above Mia and Aborn. I flinched when I saw the fire start growing bigger. “Uh we spy” I whispered back. My gaze kept on going to the fire. Mike poked me. “Hey keep your eyes on the prize” He barked softly pointing to Mia. I suddenly bolted upwards. “Mia” I screeched. The fire suddenly burst into an inferno. Mia was caught in the middle of it.
I bolted down the cliff. Mike was at my heels. Aborns eyes were lit up in the flames. He grinned evilly. “Have you ever heard of mans best friend” He sneered. He pushed Mia into the roaring inferno. “No” I screamed. Mike suddenly bolted past me and leapt into the inferno. “Mike” I choked. The fire was to hot and intense for anyone to make it out alive. Suddenly I felt claws dig into my pelt and push me towards the fire. I whipped around to see Aborn. I shoved him backwards with my shoulder. “Why did you kill Mia” I growled trying to sound mean. Then again Im not mean. Aborn snickered. “Because I am Mans dog” He barked. Aborn lunged at me. He gripped at my ear and started tearing at it. Note to self: Work on counter attacks. I slid down to the ground then pushed my hind legs upwards shoving Aborn off. He landed on the ground with a hard thud. The temperature was rising…and fast. Aborn leapt again and I dodged. This time it was my turn. I landed a hard blow at his chest. I then grabbed his neck and pulled it. Aborn kicked at my stomach making me spit him out. “Don’t tell anyone or else you are dead” He barked. “Did you kill my mom and dad?” I asked out of the blue. Aborn smiled. “Of course I did because all of you are dangerous” With that he turned away and disappeared. I was standing there fuming. The heat didn’t make things any better. His words still echoed in my mind. All of you are dangerous.
Chap 5.
I had to run from the fire even though it killed me. Mia and Mike were probably already dead and it would be futile to go after them. I am now on a cliff high above the fire. It was going out. Ash and smoke went on forever covering the horizon like a blanket of gray. I looked down at the last remaining sparks. All that was there was ash and bone. I turned around unable to think, speak, or cry. Then I started walking. With a deep desire for revenge.
I made it back to the den without shedding a single tear. But a wolf can’t keep things bottled up for a long time. I started crying. I laid down my sobs filled the empty den. I closed my eyes. Then soon fell asleep.
Chap 6.
Have you ever heard of that song when they go kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep? Well something like that. Anyways that’s what it felt like. Something like kissed my eyes (not to sound weird) and I fell asleep, even though I didn’t want to.
I twitched nervously in my dreams. The fire and the ashes felt so real. I suddenly woke up gasping for breath. The air was heavy with smoke. I looked around. The den was on fire. I scrambled onto my paws. “No... no… no” I barked. I felt like a freakin ballerina dancing away from the flames. Each time I take a step I would leap back then twirl around to a different direction because the fire would follow me. Crap, and more crap, and more crap those thoughts were running in my mind like a broken tape. I ducked my head down and put my paws over my ears. “STOP”I yelled. Even though I knew it wouldn’t.
Chap 7.
The thing about facing death is that it snaps everything back in place. For example I suddenly remembered the first time I opened my eyes.
I squeezed my closed eyes harder. This was it; I would die just like everyone in my family. Then again I was proven wrong. The smell suddenly vanished. I opened my eyes to see no fire. Nothing was burnt. I stood up slowly. What the heck just happened?
It was morning. Sunshine filled the den and the birds sang. I looked glumly outside. Last nights um experience still flashed in my mind. I walked out and yawned. My stomach grumbled. I haven’t had anything to eat for a while. I raised my muzzle and sniffed the air. I could smell a tinge of deer in the air but they were to far south, probably heading into pack territory. I shuddered. Mom had told me the packs were vicious wolves. Had not heart or feelings to others. They killed other packs members. Then there was The Fangs. Mom had told me they were way worse than the packs. She said they had long fangs that can kill a wolf in a matter of seconds. I gulped and shook those thoughts out of my head. I sniffed again. Smelling rabbit close by I started prowling in that direction. My ears were pricked and my eyes flashed nervously everywhere. Suddenly a twig snapped behind me and I gave out a terrified yelp. I spun around to face another wolf.
My heart beat franticly. I didn’t know how to be mean or territorial. The other wolf cocked its head. “Hi” It barked all signs of aggression nowhere to be found. I studied him. His pelt was a dark yellow sort of hard to see in the shadows. He had light yellow stripes and a yellowish white belly. His eyes were a deep yellow. “Hi” I said cautiously. I could tell he was a male by his appearance and voice. The male wolf smiled. “I’m Flash by the way” Flash barked. I cast him a wary glance. “And I’m Mickey” I barked back. He sounded young probably my age. Flash walked past me. Something about him struck me odd. He moved with much more grace and speed than a normal loner. Was he or is he…a clan wolf? I was tempted to ask that question but decided not to. He looked over his shoulder. “You coming?” Flash asked. I nodded then followed him to a pool of water. Flash bent down and started lapping the water. I copied unsure of what to do. Flash eyed me then lifted his head. “You OK” He asked. I lifted my head. “Are you a clan wolf” I barked without thinking. I quickly shut my mouth. Flash flicked his tail. “Yes and no” He barked. I cocked my head. “What do you mean” I asked. “Well I’m a father in here and a deputy in Lightningclan” He barked. “You have pups” I said. The memory of Mia dieing with her pups ran through my mind. Flash smiled. “Want to see them?”
We made our way to Flashes den. I was excited. A pang of sadness suddenly came over me. I would be the only one to see pups. Neither Mike nor Mia will be able to. Finally we reached the den. The smell of wolves was strong. There were probably about 5 wolves that lived there, including Flash. I looked up at him. Suddenly I was tackled. I rolled onto my back teeth bared just incase it was Aborn. Instead a pup all black with red cut marks stared at me. His eyes were wide and filled with happiness. “Dad, dad! Guess what I tackled an intruder” He barked happily. His tail wagged furiously. Flash smiled. “Good job Zig but that isn’t an intruder it’s a guest” He said. Zig looked at me. His eyes read I’m-so-sorry. I pushed him off. “And now the big scary intruder is going to eat you” I rumbled. Zig laughed playfully then ran back to the den. Suddenly two more pups came racing out with Zig. They were both female. One had a brown pelt with white markings. The other was all white with blue snowflakes. It struck me odd that none of them looked like Flash. Then an elegant she-wolf strutted out of the den. “Flash I didn’t know we had company” She barked a hint of wonder in her voice. Flash nodded. “I didn’t know ether…I meet him in the forest” I studied the she-wolf. She had blue stripes and a red tail tip. Her belly was brown to. I stared at her. “Um…Uh…my name is Mickey” I barked stumbling with my words. “My name is Kally” Kally barked. She smiled and well I blushed a bit. I mean when you get a hot wolf talking to you? The blue and white pup scrambled up on top of me. “My name is Icy” Icy yipped. The brown one followed Icy’s lead. “And Im Zara” Zara barked proudly. Zig snuck up on Zara’s tail and snatched it. “Ha ha got you” He barked.
Chap 8.
It’s been about 2 days since that happened. Now I was living with Flash and Kally. Truth be told I had no clue what was going to happen next.
I padded through a meadow. Flash was next to me. Zig, Icy, and Zara were ahead tumbling and batting each other. I sighed. It was so peaceful…a little too peaceful. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a figure dart pass me. I turned to see who was there. Flash looked at me. “You OK?”He asked. It was weird how he asked that question a lot. “I’m fine” I barked. We continued onward. Suddenly a wolf jumped in front of the pups. It was time for me and Flash to go into papa bear mode. There was a little bit of space between the wolf and pups. We leapt there. I bared my teeth. Flash growled hostilely. The wolf smiled. “Well it’s so nice to finally meet you” He growled. “Who is he?” I whispered. The wolf smiled. “Oh so you don’t know who I am what a shame” He barked roughly. “My name is Venom” Venom snarled. My heart beat franticly against my chest. Another wolf stood behind Venom. He had all too familiar of a face. “Aborn” I breathed. Aborn grinned evilly at me. “Leave our territory now” Flash growled his teeth snapped in the air. Venom grinned. “Oh no…I don’t think so” he then lunged at Flash knocking him to the ground. The pups gave out a terrified yelp. Aborn leapt at me. We were wrestling on the ground. I grabbed one of his legs and pulled on it. Hearing a crack I let go. Aborn narrowed his eyes an evil glint in them. Then without warning he lunged at my neck. I could feel pressure causing me to gasp for air. Blood dripped out of my mouth. A flash of yellow whirled by. Wham Flash hit Aborn at the jaw causing him to let go. I nodded quickly thanks then screamed. Venom slammed his body onto Flashes head. Flashes eyes rolled back and he fell with a sickening thud. “Flash” I yelled. Venom then turned around to the pups. “Run” I screamed. Aborn head butted me at the chest sending me flying. My vision blurred but I could still see the scene that will haunt me for the rest of my life. It was like in slow motion. Venom grabbed Zig’s scruff and started carrying him away. Aborn was running in a different direction. “Remember Mickey…not a word” He hollered as he disappeared in the shadows. “Daddy…Daddy…Daddy” Zig yelled. I closed my eyes everything went black.
I could feel something poke at my chest. I opened my eyes to see Zara and Icy looking at me. “Mickey” Icy whispered tears formed in her eyes. I turned to see Flash was still unconscious, but not dead. “How long” I barked. Zara cocked her head. “Three hours” She whispered. I sat bolt right up. “Where’s Zig?”
I left then, didn’t care anymore. It was my fault Zig got taken. It was my entire fault.
Epilogue
So there you have it. My life so far. My horrible biography (as people would say). Now you are probably wondering what the warning is hmmm right. Well let’s rewind: Aborn kicked at my stomach making me spit him out. “Don’t tell anyone or else you are dead” He barked. So there’s my warning. Don’t tell anyone. Swear by your life unless you want to die (Hey it rhymes) Anyways…did I just see you cry? I told you, you were in for a wild ride.
