Kincsem;; Pups;; Ebony

Kincsem had given birth to seven pups by a unknown male. After tending to them non-stop for two days, the female was getting restless and dehydrated. Kincsem left her pups in the ferns, before leaving for a few moments to get a quick drink.

Meanwhile, Ebony had stumbled upon the pups. Ebony, juvenile and unknowning, took them as abadoned pups. She took them all and brought them by the Temple, licks the little bundles and nursing them.

Kincsem returned, seeing her pups gone. She traced them to Ebony. "Give me back my pups, now!" Kincsem demanded, but Ebony rebuked.

"Cruelity! Abadoning your pups like that!" Ebony hissed.

"I did not abadone them!" Kincsem argued.

"Liar!" Ebony stood up, the larger female snarled, her teeth barred. "Your nothing but a bitch, just like those damn Shadow Haunters!"

Lyckos

The sudden uproar in the mountains was heard by the Lurker alpha, who had been pacing through the mountains in deep thought. The verbal fight between two females wolves could be easily heard, and one of the voices was familiar to him.

Lyckos frowned, following the sound of the voices to spot Ebony and another female outside the Temple. His eyes narrowed, but other than that there was no aggression shown; just assertive dominance. "Ebony," Lyckos barked sharply, hoping to distract both wolfess' with his commanding tone, "what is going on here?"

He had noticed the pups by Ebony's paws, and watched both female's skeptically. What on earth was going on?

Byakhuya

Bya also heard the commotion and was quick to come to his sisters aid.Hey what are you doing with my sisters pups?!he growled standing next to his sister.Don't worry Kincesm we'll get them back they wouldn't dare steal your pups!

Lotus; Halo; Vertigo

Three young pups followed Lyckos. They were some of the youngest daughters of Tahti and Luke, but as far as they were concerned, they were Lyckos' children.

Lotus stood beside her father, her two younger sisters behind him. "What's going on here?" She parroted.

Lyckos

"Your pups?" Lyckos asked, glancing from Kinscem to the pups that Ebony stood over, "Ebony, what are you doing?"

With the arrival of three of his 'daughters', Lyckos shifted his body weight closer to Lotus, and made sure Halo and Vertigo were safely behind him. The death of his son, Quake, had prompted Lyckos to latch onto any pups that had been present to try and replace the hole in his heart that had been made with Quake's passing. Tahti and Luke's motherless pups had been rescued by allies, and Lyckos had taken them in as his own.

As he was a male, and so incapable of producing milk, the nine pups had been brought up on surrogate milk. He had quickly moved them onto meat, so that he could provide for them, and so far they were very healthy. His only worry was that as they got older, they would notice the massive difference in size between them and their surrogate father. With Lyckos weighing in at nearly 160 pounds, and standing at 34 inches, he was a giant compared the coyote-mix pups that stood beside him.

His hazel eyes narrowed considerably, his posture showing his rank as an alpha, and his large ears perked in an assertive manner. "So, I'll ask again, Ebony, what is going on here?"

Kincsem;; Ebony;; Stormchaser

Lips curled, Ebony stared at Kincsem. "She claims these abadoned pups are hers. Even if they were, she's been a terrible parent. Just like her stupid mother," Ebony sneered, eyes eyes never left Kincsem, her hackles raised. Legs squared, the little daughter of Patch and Equiss was defending the little pups. "No...your just like those stupid, pigheaded Haunters! You care nothing for your pups!"

Kincsem snarled. "She took my pups," Kincsem countered, her eyes glowed with anger.

Stormchaser emerged from the Temple, hearing the commotion. Stormy stood near Halo and Lotus, staring at her sister. "Ebony?" Stormy gasped, taking a step forward. "Ebony, just give them back..."

Rosebud, a Avengers, had saw the commotion and decided to go get Kalaber.

Byahkuha

Byahkuha growled and lowered his head.WE care for our pups more then you think you heartless fetale. His tail stiff.My sister went to get a drink what do you want her to do dehydrate and die? You give my neices and nephews back! You are no better then the haunters! Haunters steal pups and look what your doing!He growled.

Kalaber

After swimming through the moat and rubbing himself over the grass he stood up and came running straight up the mountains. His ears back when he got to the sign.You stole pups from my family now did you?He growled at lyckos. He didn't know who stole them but rosebud said lurkers so Kal would address Lycko.

Ebony

Kincsem snarled, "Do not speak of my mother like that!" Immediately, Ebony lunged at Kincsem, and the Avenger female was taken aback, the wind knocked out of her. Ebony snapped her jaws on Kincsem's leg, the bones seemed brittle and a snap filled the air. The highest yelp came from Kincsem, the female kicked back with her hind legs and rolled away.

Ebony panted, standing up. "Just did," Ebony replied tartly, horror pulsing threw her. Surely, Lyckos was going to slay her now. She had just attacked a ally, and defied him on all levels.

Stormy gasped. "Ebony!" Stormy stepped back, not wanting to get involved with her sister. "Ebony, stop!"

Byakhuya

HE snarled at ebony.How dare you injure my sister you insolent piece of shit!He snarled now stepping in front of his injured sister.If you will not give her pups back I will take them back!He said before moving toward his neices and nephews.

Kalaber he snarled.You better not let her get away with that lyckos let alone let her get away with stealing kincesms pups!He growled.

Lotus

Lotus still stood beside her 'father,' trying to be strong, but she found herself trembling. "Just give the pups back! Please! Before the big wolves kill us!" She pleaded, shrinking behind Lyckos.

Ebony;; Kincsem

"I did not steal them! I found them, starving and cold! This bitch is a terrible mother, and shouldn't be allowed to care for these innocent things," Ebony snarled at Kalaber, hackles raised as she pivoted to face the Avenger leader. A spark of sarcasm rose inside of her. "Oh, so you must be the bitch's leader! I can see it runs in the family." Ebony shifted in front of Byakhuya, snarling deeply and snapping at him.

Kincsem groaned, trying to get up.

Byahkuha

He snarled and snapped right back.Bring it bitch. They aren't starving dip shit. They are fat and warm idiot your just blind!He snarled.

Kalaber:He stepped forward now. All 190lbs of flesh and bone. He was pure strength. He moved to grab the pups.She isn't a terrible mother. She is a much better mother then most of my pack tends to beHe snarled before aiming to grab a couple of the pups.

Stormchaser;; Ebony

Ebony snarled, lunging at Kalaber. The fierce Doberman and Gray Wolf blood ran wild inside of her, and she lunged for Kalaber's shoulder, or maybe throat. Ebony clamped her jaws shut, either way.

Stormchaser whimpered, fearing if she should grab Ebony and tear her away, or let Lyckos handle it. Beside, Stormy was the only one who could handle Ebony when she was over-the-edge angry.

Byahkuha

Byah could see ebony move and he lunged to intercept her by grabbing her shoulder.

Kalaber snarled and spun around. If byah didn't have her distracted he would meet her fang to fang

Lyckos

"EBONY, STOP!" Lyckos roared, his voice filled with rage and dominance. The Lurker alpha had no chance to speak as firey words were spat from both sides, and soon enough a fight ensued. Lyckos lunged for Ebony's scruff, aiming to seize her and pull her back, stopping her attack before she hit either of his allies and then throwing her to the floor.

"You cannot take pups without first searching for their mother, Ebony. Even if they had been mother-less, you should consult me on any decision you make: Look what you've done now!" His body was defiant, and aggressive, showing his displeasure of his subordinate's actions. "This was not your decision, and for disobeying me, you shall be punished."

Next, the alpha adressed his ally. Lyckos turned to Kalaber, the anger in his face dispersing momentarily as he spoke to the Avenger alpha, and the mother. "I am sorry for Ebony's actions. Had I know what she had planned to do, I would not have let it happen. The Shadow Lurkers are nothing like the Haunters, hence I offer you my sincerest appologies." Lyckos moved towards Kincsem's pups, blocking off Ebony's route to them, "Take them back, with my promise to punish Ebony for her disobedience. The Lurkers respect their allies, and she shall be taught this."

Lyckos would deal with his allies first, before confronting Ebony. The alpha looked over to his 'children', signalling for them to stick close to him, for he couldn't risk their safety around these angered adults.

Kalaber

Once ebony was halted he nodded to lyckos for now and moved into pick up his step daughters pups and he moved away his tail curled back over.Kincesm and Byakhuha our land should be deflooded please have someone scout it out and then lead the rest of the pack home pleasehe would have them move home where ebony couldn't pull a stunt like that gain.

byakhuha moved and picked up more of his sisters pups. He moved away.

Ebony

Kincsem managed to stand up, limping along, not putting any weight on her broken leg. She shot a hostile glance at Ebony, trying to contain her anger. But the female moved on, following Byakhuha. Kincsem then summoned Rosebud's daughter, Amber, and the yearling left to check it out. Withing 30 minutes she returned, "Its safe. The land is damp, but their is only puddles in the deeper areas."

Ebony snarled, tail tucked between her legs.

Stormy looked at Ebony, shaking her head.

Kalaber

He nodded.Take the pups and the pack there and stay there and find someone to treat kincsemHe spoke nuzzling kincsem.I must return to what i was doingHe spoke before leaving.

Kincsem

Kincsem lead the pack back home.

Lyckos

He watched in silence as Kalaber left with his pack. His face contorted, showing his displeasment with Ebony, as the Lurker King rounded on her.

"What the hell did you think you were doing?"

His body showed no aggression, but his eyes portrayed the anger Lyckos felt. He advanced on Ebony, lifting himself to his alpha status, as he waited for her answer.

Ebony & Stormchaser

Ebony looke down, panting and shaking like a pup. Her eyes diverted down where she didn't dare to see Lyckos's blazing eyes. "I...I...," Ebony whispered, her throat tight and her words where forced.

Stormchaser stood behind Lyckos, looking at her sister with mixed emotions of pity, but more of hate and distrust. Ebony had never seemed like the wolf to go and steal someones pups, then refuse to give them back and then attack, especially Kalaber. Stormchaser looked up as a fimiliar scrap of paws against tile came from behind her. Patch emerged from the darkness of the temple, hearing the swift rumors and comotion.

"Ebony? I wish not to believe what I've heard," Patch spoke fatherly, glancing up at Lyckos with a dip of his head. The black-and-white male glared at his daughter, "Lyckos has every right to do any type of punishment to you, and I shall not block his path."

Ebony held back a sob, pursing her lips.

Lyckos

Lyckos frowned darkly, watching Ebony shrink as she thought about what she had done. He held of punishing her outright, but once Patch had come out, Lyckos wasted no time in disciplining his subordinate. The alpha's jaws lowered as he moved towards Ebony, and they parted as he neared her face. Then, in a lightning fast movement, the Lurker King launched for Ebony's left ear, and tried to bite down and tear it clean off. She would still be able to hear, as the top portion would still be left, but it would cause her great pain, and leave her with the mark of her insubordination forever.

"If you think some pups have been abandoned, you come to me first to see if we can take them in. I am your supirior, Ebony, and it would do you good to remember that."

Then, he turned, leaving her and Patch to talk together, as he walked into the temple.

Ebony

Ebony yelped, falling to the ground, blood gushing from her torn ear. Ebony laid on the ground, trembling terribly and shivering as though she was in a icy lake. Breathing heavily, Ebony stood up with fire in her eyes. "Bastard," Ebony snarled.

Patch watched, not flinching when Lyckos advanced. "Listen, Ebony, you have done much to strain the relationship with the Avengers! For all we know, they could now be against us!" Patch snarled.

"I don't care!" Ebony screamed, turning and running off. Patch followed her, but stopped after a few steps, shaking his head and going back to the temple.

Stormy remained sitting there, sobbing softly.
