Teeth bared together as the male breathed heavily in through his nose and snarled out of his clenched teeth. The pain within his side was almost unbearable, sparks of pain shooting up his side and towards his back. Deep claw marks had been scored down his lovely blonde pelt, one green and one blue eye narrowing in pain as he stared down at the blood splattered snow. How exactly did he expect to hide all of this? Rounded ears twitched as he could hear heavy paws against the snow, his lips lifting in a snarl. While on his way to visit Dahliapetal, a rival Mountain tribe had taken notice of his usual route and had intercepted. Catching him both alone and off guard. Looking back down the ground, he used a broad paw to lift the snow and press the frozen particles against his pelt, wincing as he swallowed a hiss. The cold snow would help to staunch the bleeding but he really needed it to numb the torn skin.
Looking back down at the ground, his nose twitched with the metallic scent the was dripping off go the long fur. That would be another problem, but right now he was pushing his toes into the near frozen dirt, using the warmth from his toes to create a slight wet mud that had more so the consistency of clay. Grumbling, he lifted his paw in order to smear the mud across his open wounds, biting down on his lower lip. It would dry and help with the bleeding, mostly with hiding the scent. For now it stung like hell. Panting from the pain, he chose a thick patch of snow as he rubbed his sides and belly against the snow, trying his best to wash off the blood. He could hear the cats making their way down the mountain, following his blood trail. Blood bumping through his veins at a mile a second, he glanced up once towards the mountain side. The dense trees made it hard to see his rivals, but the falling stones and snow were obvious indicators. Grunting, the massive tomcat couldnโt afford to be caught, instead he began to run as fast as he could manage.
Broad paws acted like snow shoes as he ran down the steep slope, grunting as he slammed his side into a sideways tree, snow falling to the ground as he pushed himself off of the tree. Panting, his breath was mixing into the frigid air, morphing into a white mist as he flinched. โHeโs down there!โ Someone screeched through the trees, his nose scrunching as he snarled in annoyance before he looked around. Loud horn squealing into the wind, his eyes widening as he began to run at full speed through the trees. At this point the rival cats had pushed him away from his territory, but he also knew where this was. Ears twitched as he heard his attackers. โHeโs heading to the train tracks! Rabbit stop him!โ Someone yelled, but he wasnโt paying them any attention as he pushed himself to go faster. Eyes shifting towards the oncoming train as the massive engine was pushing snow out of the way with its pointed shield, snow spraying aggressive off the tracks Almost there. He was telling himself, teeth gritted in pain. Grizzly risked death by train or torturous death by these males. He knew which option he preferred. Grizzly was three foot from the tracks and the train was ten foot away from him. Yowling, Grizzly propelled himself over the tracks with his attackers halting suddenly in their tracks as the loud roar of the train suddenly overwhelmed all of his senses. Frowning, he grunted slightly as snow sprayed on his pelt, but it didnโt hurt. Instead he felt reassured that the train had a long haul, his blue and green eyes turning away to gaze at the slope beneath him.
He still needed to get to the meeting spot with Dahliapetal, but the pain in his flank was going to be a test of his abilities.
Dahliapetal

Cross
Chaotic Siblings
The silver and white molly was rubbing her cheek against Grizzlyโs shoulder, a bright smile appeared on her lips. She loves her fiancรฉ dearly. โI couldnโt help it, it was love at first sightโ Dahlia confessed, moving to press a gentle kiss against his lips before hearing Cross muttering โIโm going to throw upโ and sending him a glare his way. Stupid Cross, he was just jealous that he hadnโt found love yet. Moving carefully within the nest, the small Maine Coon laid until she was on her back and carefully moved her fiancรฉโs head until the mountain catโs head was resting on her chest โDonโt worry my mountain man, Iโll be your personal nurse until youโre healed up.. Then Iโll help you make it back home safelyโ Dahlia said, hiding a smirk from Grizzly. This poor tom, thinking that he would be leaving this den and her easily. While the two toms were speaking to each other earlier, Dahlia had slowly begun plotting in her head as she came to realizeโฆ
Grizzly needed someone to take care of him.
Of course Cross had put the idea in his little sisterโs head about keeping Grizzly hostage, which was his fault if anyone was to blame. Dahlia wasnโt one for kidnapping, but it was for good reasoning.. To make sure that her fiancรฉ was healed up! Yeah, letโs go with that. Letting out a sweet purr, she began licking the top of her loveโs head in order to smooth down the fur that was sticking up โMy emotions had gotten the best of me, my mountain man.. I apologizeโ Dahlia frowned as she thought about her ill-temper earlier, she needed to work more on that. Dahlia let out a soft hum while leaving a lingering kiss on the side of his head. Closing her eyes for a moment before her paws carefully wrapped around the tomโs broader body, making sure that she didnโt touch any of the cuts that were bandaged up โI love you, my sweet Grizzlyโ The small molly whispered softly to him, before resting her chin on the top of his head. Yes, her mountain man was very important to her.. If that meant keeping him hostage in order for him to be healed.. So be it.
Besides sheโll meet him halfway and spend some time with him in the mountains when heโs healed so that she can make sure that heโs better.
โIโll take care of you, my Grizzlyโฆ You wonโt be leaving my sightโ Dahlia soothes him, her dark green eyes lighting up in mischief and a smirk appears on her face. Her mountain man wouldnโt be escaping her anytime soon, noโฆ Not with his crazy woman around. Sure, she was slighly crazy.. But her emotions came rather deep from the heart. Looking at Cross, her eyes narrowed as her paw went to shoo him away โShoo now, I must catch up with my mountain man. Go get some cobwebs for him and Iโll change them before bedtimeโ Dahlia said, to which Cross let out a snort and rolled his eyes. Crazy molly, what would Cross do without her?
โI had left the city a couple of months after Dahlia and our brother Edge, the city life wasnโt my sceneโ Cross said, wrinkling his nose at the thought of his fatherโs lifestyle.. Murdering and all that wasnโt for him, the large Maine Coon wanted more of a relaxed lifestyle. He looked around a den, a sheepish grin appearing on his features when thinking about how he obtained it โI actually won this den when I was gambling with a childhood friend, he thought to win by cheating.. But I had a couple of tricks up my sleeveโ Cross said to which Dahlia scoffed and rolled her eyes, sibling love.. What can you do without them, they drove you crazy but you couldnโt help but love them.
The black and dark grey tom turned towards Grizzly and inspected the wounds, Dahlia was right.. The blood was quickly coating the cobwebs and needed to be changed soon. Who knew she was so observant? โSheโs right, I need to get some more cobwebs so you donโt end up with an infection..โ Cross said, before quickly padding out of the den. Ainโt no way Cross was going to be dragging a mountain catโs body out on his own if Grizzly died of an infection.. Cross wasnโt even sure if Dahlia would let him live if her beloved fiancรฉ had passed away. It wasnโt until he slipped out that Dahlia was listening carefully to the outside world, making sure that she couldnโt hear any intruders nearby. Looking towards Grizzly, she smiled softly. โI really am sorry for getting upset, I didnโt mean to startle youโ The molly said, not liking that Grizzly saw that side of her. It wasnโt until she turned carefully and looked at him, caressing his face
โHow is everyone at the mountains? Howโs the kids?โ She questioned, Dahlia adored Grizzlyโs children.. Despite them being around the same age. Of course their family life wasnโt a normal one, but Dahlia loved her little family in the mountains.
