Naritakute the Brave Lupe

by sugardragon77

One hot summer day, a yellow Lupe named Naritakute was on her way to the field to pick some flowers. She ran and ran until she was there. She plopped down in the field of daisies and stared at the sky. She smiled and slowly closed her eyes. She felt the wind blow hard as a chill came up her spine. She opened her eyes to see that the sky was black.

She got up and ran back home. But she didn't know which way was home! she was surrounded by the forest! She then felt someone behind her she spun around and kicked with all her might. But nothing was there. "Hmmmm...I wonder."

She walked on to the wood in front. The sky swirled with blacks and purples. Naritakute felt a drop of cold water on her muzzle. She felt someone behind her again. She got scared and turned around slowly to see a demon! She screamed and ran off. She turned her head to see the thing running after her as fast as it could run. Naritakute ran so fast, she never felt the thorns jab into her feet and belly. She ran into a tree that knocked her out. She forced her eyes open as the demon pounced on her. She rolled over to her left side, dodging it. She jumped up and ran the way she came from. She was back in the field.... Everything went to a dead silence. Naritakute turned around looking behind her. The silence had an eerie ring to it.

Then all of the sudden the demon came crashing out of the trees. The yellow Lupe screamed and kept on running. Now she realized that she was even deeper into the forest and even more lost. She stumbled over the the edge of the cliff. She looked down to see a river that looked tiny. She turned to see and angry demon running. Naritakute looked back down at the long drop, and jumped. She felt the wind rush by. She then came crashing into the cold water and hitting her head on a big rock that laid in the middle of the quickly flowing river.

Naritakute passed out as the river took her away. When she awoke, the sun was shinning brighter then ever. She got up slowly. Her head was throbbing and bleeding. She looked around to see the sand she was laying on. She looked at the river. The sky was an odd blue with a tint of pink. "Must be morning. Where am I?" She said to herself as she walked around the strange surroundings. She put her paws under the rivers water. She then drank the water in her paws. It was cool and fresh. She dunked her whole head under to drink up. She felt dehydrated. The water had a funny taste to it now. Like...blood!

She swallowed it hard. The river was red from the blood. She felt her head and took her paw away seeing the blood. She walked on. Leaving a trail of blood behind. It was literally dripping from her head! Her paws had cuts and thorns stuck in them. She walked slowly limping and bleeding. Her eye was black, she had a rather deep gash on her head. Each paw had at lest eleven thorns, and her back left leg was broken. But she still walked on.

The trees rustled over her head. She looked up to see over a hundred Eyries flying over. One landed next the Naritakute. Naritakute stumbled back as the giant green Eyrie walked closer to her.

"What are you doing here?" The Eyrie had a loud booming voice that seemed to shake the ground. Naritakute stood up bravely and growled.

"Leave me alone!"

The Eyrie looked not a bit impressed. "Why are you here?! Answer me now!!" The Eyrie was angry with Naritakute.

He reared and got even closer to the yellow Lupe Naritakute didn't even move a muscle. She was not afraid of this, thing!

"A demon chased me off the cliff a while back there."

The Eyrie reared up on its two back legs. He thumped back down and snorted in the Lupe's face. "I see your blood trail."

Naritakute glared at him angrily. The Eyrie turned and flew away with the others. The yellow Lupe bowed her head down a cried. The wind blew harder then it ever had. Naritakute fell over. She was now on her side, bleeding harder. She closed her eyes. She was tired and hurt. She was about to give up. To leave it all right there. "I cant stop now. I've gotten this far." She got up and raised her head to the sky. "I have the rest of the day ahead of me. I might as well make the best of it."

She walked on to the desert. The sand burned her feet harshly. She winced at the burn forming on her back. She fell once more to the ground. She tried getting up, but it was no use. She heard something step in front of her. She opened her eyes to see a white Lupe staring down at her. He walked on. She got up and followed him. The wind blew and the sand flew in front of her and made a thick blanket of sand. She turned to see a herd of Kaus coming. She walked up to one that was green. "Excuse me but do you know a way out of this desert?" The Kau yelled and reared up on Naritakute. She growled. The other Kaus saw her and ran. Now it was a stampede of Kaus!

Naritakute ran away from them. They were running after her, for she had scared them. The moos roared across the desert sky. Naritakute ran on. She turned to the Kaus. They had all stopped and turned around. Naritakute cocked her head to one side. "Huh? What's going on?!" She heard the wind blow hard behind her. She turned to see a tornado of sand! It was a sand storm. The yellow Lupe ran on with all her might. She opened her eye as sand flew into it. She yelled in pain and rubbed her eye with her yellow paw. There was a clear in the sand. Naritakute opened her eyes. The white Lupe was standing there in front of her. He turned slowly and walked on.

Naritakute felt a strange feeling in her side. She followed him. He never turned to see her, and she stayed at least four feet away. Once the sand storm calmed, she could see all around her. She looked to her left to see sand for miles and miles. She looked in front of her. The white Lupe was gone! But instead, there was grass and forests all around! She walked into the field and took a drink from the cool crystal clear water. She turned around. The desert was gone! Instead stood the White Lupe around him was a forest.

The Lupe looked at Naritakute and turned around. Naritakute ran after him. His figure disappeared into thin air. Naritakute stopped dead in her tracks. A howl came up from the distance. It was another Lupe She walked back to the river and saw a tail of blood. And paw prints. It was Naritakute's trail and paw prints! She followed them and saw where the Eyrie had landed. She ran to the side of the river. Then she saw the cliff which she fell from. The rock in the river she landed on. She looked around frantically trying to find a way up the cliff. She ran to one side of it where the ground went up slightly. She walked up the side, digging her paws in the dirt. She jumped back up to the top. She walked on.

She walked on and on and on! She finally reached a field with daisy's! "I'm back!" She yelled, spinning around in the field. She felt that strange feeling when you fell like someone is behind you. She turned to see the demon, for the last time. She growled at it and lunged forward. As did the demon. Naritakute bit at it and tore at it with she paws. The demon threw her off. Naritakute went flying miles back. She jumped back up to her feet.

Her head was dripping red once more. She held it and pressed. She looked at the demon. She jumped on it and attacked the thing. The demon tossed her off and pounced on her. Naritakute felt her leg crack. She yelled as a pink ring formed in front of her. She grabbed it and it turned into a star. The star went inside of Naritakute's heart. She yelled as a pink ball formed. The demon backed up and watched. Naritakute gave one more yell as the pink ball flew into the demon. It gave out and eerie scream and blew apart.

Naritakute herd the birds chirp. The sky went back to its original colour. Naritakute smiled and walked into the forest. She walked on not knowing where she was going. She smelt smoke. She smiled and ran faster then she ever had. Her body glowed yellow as she soared through the trees. She knocked over the giant rocks and tore the trees to the side. She stopped and saw her home!

She smiled and ran to the door. She slammed on it hard. Her mother, Firehalo, opened the door. Naritakute smiled and jumped into Firehalo's arms. "Where have you been?!" Naritakute smiled and told Firehalo the whole story. Her mom looked surprised. She put the ice pack on Naritakute's head. Naritakute sat on the floor with a ice pack on her head, all four feet in a bucket of hot water, and an ace bandage wrap on her back left leg.

The next day, Naritakute, her mom, and her sister, Rysamy, all went to the Neopian vet. Naritakute got a cast on her back leg. "Naritakute, do me a favor. Go to the field and pick me some daisies. Oh, and take Rysamy with you." Rysamy jumped up and down. "Let's go Naritakute!" Naritakute rolled her eyes and fell over.

The End
