Misty Stream

Echo was completely thrown off guard by Raffiel's sudden appearance. "Wha-what are you doing here?!?" Echo managed to choke out. He turned as pale as a ghost.

"NO! I Heard all of it! And he needs to know for certain that you are MINE!" He growled, his anger not directed at her but coming off slightly wrong. "I don't care what's happened to you in the past, you just need to remember that if you're staying here. Who is who's." He stalked towards Echo, fangs bared. "I love Lunar, she is MY Lunar Eclipse, and I'll be doomed before I lose her!"

Echo sighed. He had been around his father when he was having an anger fit. He knew that he had to stay calm. "Raffiel, please calm down. I do not want to take her. I merely wanted to get that off of my chest. Please Raffiel, don't try anything stupid."

Raffiel snarled. "If I can't defend Lunar, and our relationship, what time of to-be-mate am I?" His eyes were on the verge of tears. He didn't want to lose her, not after losing his family. There was a long pause before he spoke. "Stay away from Lunar."

"I am sorry to hear about your family Raffiel, but Lunar is my friend. I do not want to TAKE her, I only want to be her friend." Echo stated this evenly and clearly. He didn't want a fight, especially against Lunar's love.

Raffiel snarled disbelievingly at Echo's words. His rage blinded him from Lunar's words. He knew just how pretty and amazing Lunar was. Anyone could fall for her, and like a male could put down his feelings for someone. "How do you know about my family?" He demanded, stepping towards him with bared fangs and a hateful glare.

"You just said you lost your family, remember?" Echo was careful to use a defensive tone of voice, still trying to prevent a fight.

"I didn't actually say that." He sputtered, and then growled again. "You getting on my last nerve." Raffiel stepped forward one more time and then let out a deep growl.

"Please, Raffiel, don't do anything you are going to regret. I don't want to fight you." Echo said trying to convince Raffiel not to do it. "Please, Raffiel, I'm begging you."

Raffiel snorted, "I don't care if you think that you're stronger then me. I know my abilities and I will fight you for my Lunar if I must. Just remember that." He threatened, stepping back a few paces. His hackles lowered, not wanting to fight just yet.

Echo let out a small sigh at this action. "I understand what you are feeling. And believe me, the last thing I would want to do is to split you two up. That wouldn't be fair to anyone." Echo thought of something. He gently nudged Lunar out of the way and whispered in her ear "Trust me." He lay down in front of Raffiel and rolled over. "Raffiel, I am Lunar's friend. I do Not want to take her from you," he said this very feircly. "If you truely don't believe me, then kill me now, because I will not just stop being her friend because you don't want me to be around her." Echo then exposed his neck and closed his eyes. He was putting his own life in Raffiel's paws.

Raffiel looked down at him, frowning. He quickly remembered how many times he's had the opportunity to kill a wolf, Erebus, Dodge, now Echo. Without a single thought he growled out, "I'm no monster. I've had my chance to kill many, but I don't do it. It's sick and wrong. But if you dare try to take Lunar, I will make you pay."

Echo got up and smiled at Raffiel. "I know you aren't. I also knew that you wouldn't kill me otherwise I wouldn't have done that. I respect you Raffiel, and I hope we can get past what has happened because I think you would make a very good friend." Echo said this with pure honesty, which showed in his voice. "You are honest, loyal, and caring to those you love. i would be honored if, at some point in time, you would be my friend."

Raffiel's expression changed. "Maybe some day Echo... Maybe someday." He said, and then turned away, walking back to the Summer den.

Echo turned back to Lunar. "That went better than I had hoped," he said happily.

"Come on, I already told you this. I can read people like a book. I knew he wouldn't,' He replied. "Although I wasn't expecting him to say that he MIGHT be my friend in the future. I thought he would just say no."
