Crucifix;Black Plaque; Gravedigger & Jaylen

Crucifix knew they had to go fast. He could handle Nightshade alone but if she brought others she knew hed be doomed so he ran running in front of the female. He followed the road in then veered off itno the dense under growth and came into a small clearing with only some of his huge pack resided. He was greeted immediatly by his sister and he nuzzled her. he glanced back at the female who helped him. He wasn't sure about this Nighshade may of told her to do this to try and see how large his pack actually was or something.

Gravedigger and Jaylen two of Blacks pups were now 8 months old followed.

Novoluna; Guilty Spark; Covenant; Gravemind

Novoluna ran around in circles, backtracked, and set false trails. It might seem strange to see her doing this, but she was leaving a confusing scent trail that would be harder to follow. She eventually caught up to Crucifix and cautiously entered the clearing. "Hello." The hybrid said meekly, lowering her head in the presence of Crucifix and his family.

"Who's that big wolf?" Covenant asked, referring to Crucifix. "Is he Mom's friend?" The young canine took a few steps forward.
Gravemind snarled. "I don't know, but if he takes another step toward me, I'm going to kill him. And the other one too."
"Mom, are they your friends?" Guilty Spark squeaked, hiding behind her mother.

Black Plaque

Black had lowered her tail the moment she saw her brother and god was she happy he was back. She didn't like managing this big pack plus a lot of them didn't want to listen to her. Black looked back at her pups. This is your uncle and the alpha of our packShe spoke and then barked at Gravemind.You will do no such thing now settle down. Crucifix this is Covenant, Gravemind, Guilty Spark, Gravedigger and Jaylen your neices and nephewsShe spoke.

Crucifix stared at the younger wolves momentarily and he couldn't help but smirk at Gravemind snarled words. He took that next stepp and slightly lowered his head.I'd watch your mouth kidHe bared his teeth in a more playful way then anything before loking back to his sister.This is Novoluna she is joining us.He spoke.has there been any trouble in my absence?He spoke.

Gravedigger bared his own teeth as well.

Jaylen snorted and stared at the female. You better not hurt my familyShe growled.

Novoluna; Guilty Spark; Covenant; Gravemind

Gravemind bared his teeth, even when his mother introduced their uncle. He glanced up at Black in the most defiant way possible, then stepped forward and snarled. At the right moment, when Crucifix lowered his head, the young canine snapped viciously at his uncle's face, truly intending to cause damage.

"Gravemind!" Covenant shouted, leaping toward his brother in an attempt to catch him, but Gravemind was too quick. Through all of this, Guilty Spark slinked back and whimpered.

Novoluna was quite shocked by Gravemind's behavior, but this was none of her business. Black would take care of it. Instead, she turned to face Jaylen. "Don't worry. I'd never hurt your family. I'm your uncle's friend and I'd like to be a part of your family too. Friends?" She surely did have a way with pups; her voice was soft and she was relaxed.

Black Plaque

She growled at her son and moved now to bite his muzzle lightly. Gravemind enough. Crucifix is your uncle and the alphaShe spoke firmly to her son.

Crucifix let his teeth bite him and he sneezed as he pulled his face up. He'll learn his place soon enough black he is just a pup after allHe spoke.

Jaylen sized up the female and she snorted and moved to Gravemind and nudge him before padding away unsure of the two new comers.

Gravedigger just sat down.

Novoluna & Others

When Black Plaque gently bit Gravemind's muzzle, the pup launched an attack, snapping at his mother's face. "He doesn't belong here, Mother." Gravemind growled.

Novoluna just stared. Gravemind made her nervous. If the pup treated his own mother that way, what would he think of Novoluna?
She shook that thought out of her mind, instead padding toward Crucifix and whispering in his ear. "I love puppies. We should have a family of our own someday." She had always wanted pups; she had always wanted to pass on her genes.

Black

She growled at her son slightly and snorted as he snapped at her. She pushed him gently with her paw.no he belongs he is the alpha and your uncle now apologizeShe spoke.

Crucifix let Black handle her son. His tail flicked and then he heard Novuluna. Well wasn't she an ambitious one... He had two grown pups of his own and he frowned at the thought of his lost mate Zenyetta. He sighed.Surewas his only response.

Novoluna; Gravemind

Gravemind's face contorted into a sadistic grin. "I don't have to do anything you say. And I'll kill you if you touch me again," he said to his mother, "And I mean it." He then snapped at Black's leg. "That's just a warning."

Novoluna grinned. Without a word, she padded into the forest.

Black Plaque

This was her only troublesome pup and she feared for him. She snarled at his words and this time roughly made to grab his scruff and force him onto his side. You will do everything I say Gravemind, everything!She snarled. None of her pups have seen her angry.

Crucifix glanced back to his sister and nephew and huffed before following the new female to the pack.

Gravemind

Gravemind laughed maniacally when his mother pinned him down. "See? You can't even handle your own child." The pup retorted, then curled around in an attempt to get free and snap at Black's face. "I will do nothing for you, Black Plaque. As far as I'm concerned, you're not even my mother." He used his mothers name instead of simply saying 'Mother;' a sign of disrespect, and this pup had a lot of it. "Die, bitch!" He slashed his claws at Black Plaque, attempting to draw blood.

Black Plaque

Black plaque snarled at her son. No he was no son of hers. Her lips pulled back over her teeth as she backed a few steps away. How could her pup turn out this way? It made her want to cry but instead she would end this pups life.your the one who will dieShe spoke and then lunged at her own son. She made to hit him with her paw hard in the face.

Jaylen watched from the brush whining.

Gravemind; Covenant; Guilty Spark

Gravemind was unable to dodge the attack. He yelped as he was hit in the face, and one of his baby teeth fell out. Blood began to slowly seep from the scratches made by Black's claws. "You can't control me! You can't kill me!" He screamed, managing to squirm away from her. The blow left him dizzy, so his reflexes were slower, as well as his overall speed and agility. He kept an aggressive stance while he waited for the dizziness to pass, glaring at his mother. He snapped at her face a few times.

"Mom! Don't!" Guilty Spark screeched, but was silenced by Covenant. "Shhhh, Spark, come with me. I know a hiding spot." Covenant led his sister to a large fox den nearby. There they waited.

Black Plaque

She couldn't believe she was doing this it made tears prick at her eyes. She ignored his words as she pictured him as someone else. She felt puppy teeth rake across her nose but it was nothing as she lunged with her teeth now and aimed for his neck and then swatted at him in the face again.

Jaylen remained hiding but kept whining wanting it to stop. She didn't like how her mother could just do this to him. Tell him to leave kick him out but kill him?

Gravemind

This was it. This was the end. Should he run and live, or stay and die? Best to die a fighter than live a coward.
When he regained his senses, he circled around his mother. He spoke no more...for now. Instead, he lunged at Black, but was caught in bid air. He could feel Black's jaws around his tiny neck. He could barely breathe. He coughed and gagged in a desperate attempt to get some air. If he was deprived of oxygen much longer, he'd be unconscious.

Black Plaque

She couldn't believe she was doing this but she kept her mouth shut and hen his body went lifeless she dropped it. Whether uncouncious or dead she just ran tears falling from her eyes. She just ran and came to a stop far away and laid down.

Jaylen glared after her mother and ran to her fallen brother. She nudged him and howled.

Gravemind

Gravemind remained asleep, apparently lifeless, until about 15 minutes later when Black Plaque was probably far away. He woke up, dizzy and weak, and looked up at Jaylen. "Am I dead?" Those were his only words. He couldn't manage saying anything else.

Jaylen

She had been howling cause she thought he was dead. Till he spoke and she licked him.I guess your not!She spoke.
