Description

last time:

"Butterfly," she heard her name being called. She tried desperately to find the voice, but it was no where. "Butterfly," she heard her name again, only this time, she recognized the voice. It was her sister Berry. "Berry?" she called. "Is that you?" Berry stood in front of her, clear as a crystal. "You must wake up, Butterfly. Wake up!" the words wake up seemed to come in two voices. She stretched open her eyes to see Bee, her mate, in front of her. He looked sad and worried. She knew it couldn't be more than 3:00 in the morning. "Bee, what is it?" she asked, not sure if she wanted the answer. "Just come look, Butterfly." She dashed on past him to where her sister was sleeping. She didn't move. "Oh, Berry," she whispered. "What happened to you?" Bee approached from behind. "She got hit by a monster. We were midnight hunting and the monster came through the grass, she got hit, oh Butterfly, I'm sorry. I should have been hit. She saved my sorry ass. I didn't move. I killed your sister." He dug his nose into Butterfly's shoulder. "It's not your fault." she assured him. "She was always a little overly protective. Of me, my mother, brother, and you." She brushed her muzzle on his and bit back the sadness. "I want to bury her," she said. Bee nodded, and grabbed her limp sister to the softer earth.

Butterfly moaned. She tried to go back to sleep, but Aria had to keep bothering her. "Just let me reach your heart!" Aria cried. "No! I'm keeping me the way I am!" "Fine, smart ass. Don't give me access, I'll have to kill you for it!" "In your dreams, bitch." "Fine, I'll access it myself!" She lunged at Butterfly. Butterfly tried to dodge, but vines quickly grew around her feet. "Nighty-night, sweetheart! Let the killing begin!" And her dream evaporated to a red mist.

"Butterfly!" Bee called, looking down on her. "What the hell were you doing!?" Butterfly moaned. "Waking up?" she went down to wash her pelt but saw blood. "Butterfly, you tried to kill innocent cats!" She thought for a moment. Her memory was blurry. Then it hit her like a brick. "Aria. She visited me in a dream, trying to get me to give up my soul. When she lunged, vines grew around my feet and the last thing I remember is right now." Bee sighed. "I knew that wasn't my girl." He managed to smile. He wrapped around her and started washing her coat. "Just rest," he said between licks. And Butterfly sunk into unconsciousness.

"Butterfly, hurry up! I want to get there before I'm old!" Bee teased. Butterfly ran to follow him. It had been six moons since her sister died, and every full moon Aria took her over to kill innocent cats. She tried to fight it, but she failed. The last time she was a little more self conscious and could resist a bit, but not much. They were heading to Hot Spring Hill, the large hill next to the Hot Spring. Madam Celestial was said to be able to cure curses, so they made an appointment with her. After her failed attempt to break the seal on her throat, she had no choice. They bounded up the hill and went in the cave. "I can't see a thing!" Bee complained. "Oh no, what a nightmare," she said. She saw the light at the end of the cave. "Keep your friend out!" Celestial called. Bee looked stunned and backed up. "Now," she said. "To the Hot Spring!" Butterfly moaned. "I just walked up it!" she complained, bouncing after her.

Butterfly relaxed in the steaming pool. It was so warm! "Rrrrrrelax," Celestial purred. Butterfly didn't know how much more relaxed she could be. Celestial placed a paw on her seal. "Ah," she rumbled. "This is the seal. Ah, you have Aria. Her seals are verrrrrry harrrrd to brrrreak. But, I can do it." She pushed harder and Butterfly went into a trance.
**
"W-where am I?" she asked herself. She looked into the river. It was night. A star lit up in the sky. She instantly thought of Berry. "Berry," she whispered. "I miss you so much." "There is no need to worry, Butterfly." she heard Berry's voice in her ear. "I will always be here for you."
