Happy Tree Friends: Blood & Fire

Chapter 00 – Prologue

Laughter…cruel, cold laughter…

Flippy held a frightened Flaky close, her fearful sobs almost inaudible to the rain pattering heavily on the abandoned mansion's window. Around him were mutilated bodies of all the citizens of Happy Tree Town – except for two, who were knocked unconscious.

"If it's one thing I'm scared of, it's her…"

Although slightly amusing, Flippy thought Flipqy was ruthless and fearless – but scared of one of their own? He almost laughed, but fiery golden eyes stopped him from doing so.

Splendid slowly regained consciousness as she growled darkly, wiping the blood that streaked over his eye. 'Of all the girls, I had to pick the dangerous one…'

Splendont groaned and attempted to lift himself up, only to crash down with a yelp as broken ribs rattled inside him.

"You don't know what it's like living a traumatic childhood," the wolf growled ferociously.

"Don't hurt us…" begged Flaky, trying to hide a fresh cut on her arm.

"Get a hold of yourself, Moonlight!" ordered Splendid, masking his fear with anger.

The wolf turned to him, emotionless. "Moonlight's dead…" she said, "I'm her shadow, Eclipse."

"Eyes glowing like the fires of Hell...

Fur as gray as smoke and ash...

Hair as bright as white-hot flames...

I'm Moonlight's shadow: Eclipse"
