Dark Matter 5

Staring at the full moon that shines over them, Blaze had already fallen asleep but Chimeeko was terrified of sleeping, he didn't want any more nightmares though if he didn't rest he wouldn't be able to walk with the long journey ahead of them. Sighing he decided to take a stroll, his head clouded with so many overbearing thoughts and he couldn't hear himself think because of this. Not too far from the little camp, they have made Chimeeko advanced towards a nearby cliff and plopped himself at the edge.

Feeling the wind brushing through his fur, he bent his head down and sighed, he felt weak and his body shook ever so often. His ribbon-like ears perked up as he heard a sound from nearby, looking to the side he spotted something behind one of the trees, it was the dark matter but this time it looked different, there were pieces of an animals leg and ears that were not covered with the dark matter, not sure what to make of it, he took a chance and sprinted off to the other side, he could hear it behind him, heavy paw steps getting closer to him he had to fight back but he didn't know how to. Spinning around he dug his claws into the neck of the creature tearing it down, black blood dripping from it, Chimeeko watched as the animal scream and rolled on the ground, that's when he realized the Dark matter was peeling of the skin of the creature, watching carefully he made sure to stay 4 feet from the creature. The Dark matter was gone and left the corpse of a hybrid rabbit, turning away Chimeeko walked back to the camp, he had to tell Blaze about this after all maybe there was a way to change animals back to themselves from the dark matter, feeling a poke in his side Blaze turned and sat up to see Chimeeko next to him "you can't sleep?"Chimeeko shook his head 'that's not it, something happened, I saw a darkie(dark matter)' he shifted not feeling comfortable at all, Blaze nodded and asked him what happened.

After there conversation about what Chimeeko saw, it was the break of dawn and the to had already left to continue that journey of getting Chimeeko back home, "we will have to cross the Ice lands to get to your home, there are four lands that connect to each other" he nodded as his tail bell jingled, he couldn't wait to get home, he missed hunting down birds and those tall grass he got to lay on, he knew there was nothing better than his home and he would do anything to get there.

Coming out of his thoughts he realized Blaze had stopped 'why did you stop?' Blaze looked around him like if he felt something "there's someone following us", Chimeeko studied his surroundings and also felt the presents of something strong, growling lowly Blaze spoke in a threatening tone "whoever you are come out now", instead of an answer a panther the size of an elephant came out. Blaze and Chimeeko were frozen place as the panther got closer to them, nothing could be done, fear coursing their bodies" why are you in the Leporad clan territory" the panter said its voice loud and heavy. ' We didn't know we were in someone's territory we swear' Chimeeko explained by shaking his head "get out of my territory then, we do not want you here", the panther turning away leaving them both in silence ' what the fluff was that Blaze' Blaze himself did not know but he knew that he would never come back there again, Chimeeko rubbed his eyes with his tail, they had left the leopard territory as fast as possible and the moon hasn't gone to rest yet so they both traveled the as the winter air was coming in "look...am sorry for betraying you Chimeeko it was the only way to get you out am sorry if i-''Chimeeko cut him off and growled 'you didn't hurt me now shut up', sighing Blaze thought he needed some space and walked a little further ahead it was going to be a troubling night for them both, the sun greeted them with warmth, Blaze still had been walking in front Chimeeko for the past 4 hours, nervously Chimeeko moved up to him 'soo what is your favorite thing to become?' he said trying to make a conversation"a bird because I love flying but sometimes I mix it up" Chimeeko nodded slightly a conversation starting between them as they walked, 'so you like to be a hybrid?' Blaze shrugged lightly "it's more of I just find it fun to mix animals DNA" Chimeeeko didn't really understand Blaze but he just knew that he had to try.
