Kalaber

After making sure his pack was all safe and sound kal ventured away. his ears were back. He knew what happened at the bridge and blamed part of it upon himself. He should of never asked black to participate in this war nor allow their children to do so either. Now it was too late. Black went insane, killed tahti and then died herself from poison from the last war. The only thing that worried him now was tainted and her pack for he knew tainted would still accuse him of doing so when he did nothing.

Tainted

Tainted ventured to the mountains, having picked up on Kalaber's trail. She stood in front of him, her face expressionless. "My mother is dead, Kalaber. And your mate killed her in cold blood." She stated, choking back the tears.

Kalaber

He listened his ears cocked forward for mere moment.I am sorry tainted for your loss and I do not blame you for being angry. I understand it whether you think i do or don't. In return it is my fault for i got Black plaque and her children into this war causing her to go psycho insane or what ever you want to call it so in turn i am sorry and I wish I could of done somethingHe spoke. His voice utmost sincere.

Tainted

Tainted was surprised, to say the least. "I'm glad you apologized to me, Kalaber." She said. "And maybe there's something you could do for Tahti's family. You are an ally of the Shadow Lurkers, are you not?" She then asked, tilting her head.

Kalaber

He listened. I am glad you accept ithe spoke his ears slightly perking now. yes i amhe spoke. His eyes trained on her. he did not like being mateless at this time. It didn't look good in a pack to only have one alpha especially not a strong pack...

Tainted; Runt; Tazi

Tainted nodded. "Good, because I would like it if you could do a favor for me." She said, smiling now. "My sister, Aurinka, has been exiled from the Shadow Lurkers. Lyckos said he may let her back, but at the last minute changed his mind. Perhaps you could talk to him and request that she be let back in?"

Runt and Tazi came up beside their mother. Runt hid behind Tainted, but Tazi, the outgoing female, smiled at Kalaber. "Hello. I'm Tazi, daughter of Suenga and Tainted. Who're you?" She asked curiously.

Kalaber

He listened.His tail flicked at what she asked of him.He closed his eyes.When the flood in my home has gone home and i'm sure my pack is safe I will have a talk with Lyckos. I can't promis you anything but i can talk to him I'm sure he is really cautious right now having lost his mate but i'm sure i'll be allowed to talk with him since we're allies and talking is the best way to keep being allies..He spoke and then tilted his dial at the young ones.He smiled. It was sad now that he thought of pups and young ones. He had planed to breed with black plaque for she had wished for one more batch of pups with him.He sighed.Hello, I am Kalaber leader of shadow hedge pack, its a pleasure to meet youHe spoke his tail gave flick.

Tainted; Runt; Tazi

Tainted smiled. "Thank you, Kalaber. I have misjudged you." She still felt a bit of hostility around him after his mate killed her mother, but he didn't seem too dangerous anymore.

Tazi sat down, wagging her tail. "Good to meet you, Kalaber." She said. Just then, he rain got harder. She shook his head and grinned.

Runt peeked out from behind his mother. "Psst! Tazi!" He whispered. "Taz! Don't do it!"

Tainted tapped her son on the shoulder. "Be polite, Runt." She said.

Kalaber

He listened and dipped his head.Well you have reasons not to like me, I know i have done wrong in my past but I refuse to do wrong any more. I just want my family now and that is all I wanthe sighed and looked to the clouds.I just hope my home isn't destroyed after this...His tail flicked.He smiled at runt and then to tazi. Tazi was really kind. His pack canines , felines and others alike sat off in the distance seeking shelter from the rain.

Tainted; Runt; Tazi

Tainted nodded. "That is all I have ever wanted too. I have never met my father. My mother told me she'd take me to see him, but that as only shortly before she was killed." She replied, tears forming in her eyes. "I'm really going to miss her."

Tazi sighed, looking back at her mother. She then turned back to Kalaber. "I wish I could bring my grandmother back." She said sorrowfully.

Kalaber

He listened.He wished he could bring black back but wouldn't mention that.He then looked to the pup.We have all lost loved ones, I saw my own sister killed and mother killed when i was just a pup. I wish i could bring them back but now they are in a better place.He spoke he slowly approached tazi.He placed his paw on her chest.She is here and will always be there, Jus like my family all of them are right here in my heart as wellhe spoke.His tail flicked. He then looked to tainted.We miss all that we loose, I miss my mother sister and my mate but it is too late to turn back time. I should of known something was wrong with black. I was her mate i should of been able to see it. LIke I said i blame myself. Its my fault her son died I should of told him and the rest of my children to stay at home but i did notHe sighed looking to his pack.I made a mistake but when driven for revenge it is hard to think of much elseHe sighed. His tail lowered again fora second. I will now be approaching this differently on getting my sisters back. I will not make a foolish mistake as i have doneHe said.Thank you tainted for accepting my apology, I am truelly sorry for your losses

He sighed.What kills me the most is Black was pregnant.. And due soon. Now i am unsure of if she gave birth or failed to...He spoke. It wasn't blacks death that saddened him it was the fact that she was pregnant with his kids.and if she had given birth it wasn't in the terratory.His ears were then back again as he thought of this.

Tainted; Runt; Tazi

Tainted suddenly felt a wave of some feeling she had never felt before. For a moment, she was confused, but then she realized that Tahti was trying to tell her that something is wrong. Her eyes widened. "I think Aurinka is in trouble." She gasped.

Tazi and Runt looked at their mother. They heard a lot about Aurinka, but had never met her. They knew how much Aurinka meant to Tainted, though.

Tazi then turned her attention back to Kalaber. "We can help you find the pups, if they're born. We'll take the birds." She offered.

Kalaber

He listened.Why would you say that tainted?he tilted his head and then looked to tazi and smiled.That would be very nice of youHe spoke.

Blackened Song: The 10 month old of Black Plaque and Windsong started coming this way. The little she wolves tail was held low.Step daddy, I smell mommy up here but I don't see her!She whimpered.Tears falling from her eyes.Where's mommy step daddy!She whimpered.

Kalaber looked down and then to tainted. He wasn't good at telling pups that their mommy was well dead..How to tell a pup this It was one thing to tell a full grown wolf but not a pup... But the fact that the little she wolf smelt black up here. That possibly ment she came here before running off on her psycho path?

Tainted; Runt; Tazi

Tainted stared off into the distance. "I have a feeling. Death is coming for her next." She didn't even notice Blackened Song.

Tazi looked at the pup. "Your mother went to Heaven, child. She's looking down at you right now. We'll see her when it's our time to go to Heaven." She explained.

Kalaber

He listened to both.If you wish i can send Repulsion mine and blacks now eldest son with you or one them to see what is going onHe spoke and then listened.

Blackened:She listened. Her eyes went wide. No not her mommy.But mommy was healthy! Step Daddy why why did she she have to to die?

Kalaber sighed and looked down.Black your mother killed their grandmother and then died. White feather told me after she attacked Tahti that your mother well through up blood. I am sorry black but she died of the poison she ingested in the fightHis ears then went back.

Blackened listened. Her ears back. ITS YOUR Fault!She cried running off.

Kal he watched her.Blackened!He cried out.He lowered his head. Why did he have to mke black fight risen...Then all of a sudden he heard pups. His head shot up and looked around.Did you guys hear that?

Tainted

Can you hear me? Stop, look, listen to my voice
It was never my choice to feel all alone
This is my home
Back up, you don't know if you've never been here
You've never been to the place inside I face my fears
It takes everything I am

Tainted nodded. "Alright." She said. "Ummm...actually, if possible, maybe only he should go in, because the Lurkers don't really like me, for obvious reasons."

Tazi looked around. "I heard it." The young hybrid said.

Kalaber

He nodded.alrightHe then lifted his dial and howled out for the mourning repulsion.Tazi do you mind trying to find that noise?he spoke.

Repulsion who was mourning his mothers death soon heard the call and tail dragging and ears back he made his way to his father.Yes father?He spoke.

Kalaber:I need you to go to the lurkers and find out what is happening to Aurinka. Do becareful find the safest routeHe would not loose another family member.

Repulsion sighed.Yes fatherHe spoke before heading off toward the lurker home.

Tazi

Tainted watched as Repulsion ran off. "She should be in the Aegis Den!" She called after him.

Tazi nodded and darted off to find the noise.

Kalaber

He watched repulsion. Did tainted know what Asylum did repulsions little sister? If so he was surprised she didn't say anything about it. He had heard. Now his little girl Asylum has become depressed and saddened and according to white is loosing weight. He worried for her.He sat down.

The eight pups were down a den hole that was by a big rock.There were 8 of them 4 males and 4 females. One fem looked exactly like her father and one look exactly like her mother.

Tazi

Tazi looked in at the pups, then at Kalaber. "There are some puppies in here!" She shouted.

Kalaber

He heard tazi.Excuse meHe spoke and immediatly ran to the entrance. He sniffed it. It was black plaque all right. Though he was nervous to go in. His mind and instincts saying no but he knew black was dead so he slowly began to creep into the burrow. They couldn't stay here. They needed to be in higher ground and they needed milk.He came out with one pup.Can you grab a pup and follow meHe spoke and then moved to a rock ledge and placed them under it. this was the only place dry and out of the rain. Teh pups were already wet. Kalaber raced back and didn't stop till all pups were there. Then he sat there. None of the females in his pack really could take care of new borns. So now what would he do.He stared at the pups worried.He saw that one exactly looked like black.Isn't that strange... One of the pups looks exactly like their mother...He spoke.His tail flicked.

Tazi

Tazi picked up one of the pups and followed Kalaber. "Maybe...maybe I can help you take care of them, but I can't feed them." She offered.

Kalaber

He listened to her.That would be a help. I will have to see though if one of the females in my group is lactatingHe sighed and then howled hopiing someone was still lactating.Sure enough Zera Yaxley's widow came forward. The Coyote approached the others.I am still lactating some Kalaber. Yes I will feed your children. They do deserve to liveShe spoke before moving to the pups to let them nurse.After they nursed she would switch off with tazi who could do the other part.
