Never there

Surprise didn't even begin to describe what Voltage felt when he met the very solid, and very sudden force of his brother's body. His paws skidded the rock just barely as his momentum met Arcus' and he was overthrown, tossed like a rag doll back to the black sand. He bounced, a puff of dirt lifting around him as he yelped, still feeling tender from his boughts at the battle field. With a groan he pushed himself up with one paw, blinking at the sand in his eyes. "Ow.." He whispered softly, biting his teeth at the pain that thrumbed through his body. He felt more than heard his younger brother's paws hit the ground, and for a moment Voltage felt a sliver of fear. He had never noticed, but Arcy seemed to match him for height and physical prowess. And now, as shakey stormy eyes lifted to meet his brother's, he saw nothing but danger and anger. This wasn't the brother he knew, and it terrified him to see such a thing. "M..me?" He whispered, eyes so wide. Pain, sheer pain sliced through him, cutting deep inside. What did he do?! Panic pushed him up on aching paws, ignoring whatever wounds had opened in his fall, as he chased his brother. "Wait!" He yelled, too panicked to be commanding, not that he could ever command his siblings. He was their leader, not their authority. Wincing, limping he moved as quick as his body would allow, which was still quite quickly, and moved to block his brothers path. "What did I do?!" He said, his voice risen, his eyes wide and his grin gone. All that was left was his fear that he had done something to disappoint his younger brother, to make Arcus hate him. He didn't know what he would do if that were so, his family was his life and if Arcus despised him for something Voltage had done, he would never ever be able to forgive himself.
