Hydras, Bullet, & Equiss

In the glimmer of the moon's pale light, Hydras made her way along a shallow ravine bed, keeping her senses alert for any dangers. In the dark, she felt safe that no humans would be wondering about so far from their town; it was very unlike them to enjoy the nightscene away from their glowing city lights.

Bullet followed after his sister, fanned slightly out to her right as he did his part to scope for danger as well as potential prey.

Equiss bounced along happily after her father, stopping frequently to investigate anything interesting. "Dad, what will we hunt?"

He glanced back at his daugher, "It's hard telling; there's a lot we could hunt. Maybe deer, maybe oxen. Just depends on what we blunder across, really."

Sasha*Voodoo*Immortal*Kekochoi*Abamocho*Scream*Sequioa*Aaka*Faute

Ah, now here we go. A large group came from the north, another came following after Hydras.

The first group included Aaka, Faute, Abamocho, and Kekochoi. The second group included Sasha, Sequioa, Flame, Voodoo, Scream, Immortal, Jake and Fly.

Aaka was pregnant, that was obvious. But with whose pups? The mother held her dignified stance a daring look in her eyes challenging anyone to question why she was here. Her white son had followed, and hopefully Clover and Phelan would join as well. She knew Sang wouldn't, no one had seen her. Legosa was in a dark mood and probably wouldn't join either.

Faute circled around the others, his eyes on Kekochoi. She was so....Delicate. He didn't know that this was his cousin. However, he did realize this when she rushed past him and exclaimed "Aunt Aaka! It is so wonderful to see you!" Now to see the pissed off expression on Fautes maw. He growled lightly and continued to watch the others, taking in the sights and sounds.

Sequioa stayed close to Skeil and Immortal, aiding in keeping an eye on the handicapped female. She also kept her eye out for White Noise, hoping he would join them.

Scream and Voodoo yipped at one another, bouncing around and playing the mouse trap long forgotten. Voodoos eyes fell upon Equiss and she grinned evily and charged over, pouncing on her larger sister with as viscious a growl as she could muster without laughing. Scream joined in, grabbing hold of Voodoo's ear. "Come on Quis! Get her!" Sasha smiled at her children, laughing softly at their antics.

Immortal limped along, her tongue lolling from her mouth a grin on her face. It was so nice to be out! She giggled and began to bounce around like the pups, even daring to lightly pounce on Skeil in hopes of getting her to play.

Abamocho's eyes went to his sister and his aunt where they chatted and he bristled slightly. He let out a howl, calling for Soleda. Perhaps she would like to join as well.

Fly and Flame stayed back a bit, the scouts of the pack. Never really gone, but never really there either.

Ninaki

The beta settled himself a slight distance from the group as he choose to travel along an esker ridge above the ravine. For a while, he let his mustard-gold eyes trail over the big mess of canines below him. He pretty well knew them all, although a few weren't terribly familiar with him.

Hatch

The youngster dashed after his cousins, tail waving merily in the air. Instead of joining in the attack, he went right for Aaka. There was the look of mischief playing in his eyes as he jumped up and tried to grab a hold of her tail.

Aaka

She laughed at something her niece said when suddenly she felt small fangs sink into her tail. Turning surprised eyes towards Hatch she blinked then smiled slowly. It was surprising to see the normally angry Aaka being so kind. "Find a new chew toy, darling?" Her words were soft and gentle, that same smile still in play.

Sweetclover, Atticus, & Phelan

Atticus was already with the group by the time his mother and siblings arrived. Bold and brash, he made his way right up to Hydras. "Quite the pack you have." He pointed out, carrying himself perhaps a touch too high with a tail that was raised up, "So who was that mongrel you killed back there? She didn't look all that dangerous to me."

Sweetclover and Phelan followed their mother. For a moment, the sister occupide herself with observing the other pack members before she decided to stay near Aaka. Soft eyes were turned on Hatch and she gave a little laugh at his antics.

Phelan wasn't about to go mingle with those he hardly knew. Instead, he stayed very near to his mother, ears back and tail low. But in his eyes, there was the look of delight and adventure. So long as he had Aaka and Clover there to support him, he didn't mind so much about being around all these others.

Aaka*Kekochoi

Aakas eyes fell upon Atticus and narrowed slightly at his carrige. She raised her eyes to Hydras's in a look that said reprimend him she didn't mind Hydras reprimending her son to the harshest extrememes, it was time he cooled his over worked ego. She shifted slightly so that Phelan was infront of her, one leg over his back. Both of them were small, very small with Aaka weighing only ninety pounds.

Kekochoi smiled at Clover and said "Hi, I am Kekochoi. Moon Spirit and Azuls daughter." She didn't know that Clover was Aaka's daughter making her a cousin to the female.

Hydras, Skeil, Bullet, & Equiss

Hydras turned a raised eye to Atticus before looking to his mother. She bared her canine fang at him and expanded her thick ruff, in a simple warning for him to respect his higher-authorities. If this warning was not heeded, she'd quickly resort to physical punishment to make him understand. "Her name was Fresca." He tail arched higher and a slight rumble followed her words.

Skeil was far more prone to be in a good mood than a bad one, and such was the case when Immortal pounced on her. She growled fiercely, but under it all, there was a playful tone. Wiggling around from under the wolf, she snapped her blunt, powerful jaws for the other's scruff. It was all in play, but then Skeil and many of breed tended to play a bit rough.

Bullet let his plume swaying loosely behind him, moving with the step of his paws. "These are the good days." He said with a big sigh, feeling better than he had in a long time. He still was hopelessly upset by the loss of Panic and Lasher, but at least they still had three other healthy pups.

Equiss yipped with surprise before she realized who tackled her. Then her game face was on, and she eagerly nipped and swatted at her sister, "Yeah, lets get her!"

*Caribou*

A little ways off from where the hunters were traveling was a large band of carribou. A few hundered, to be more precise, moving along their fall migration route. The herd was more or less stationary at the moment, resting during the night before moving on again in the morning. Everyone once in a while though, the clash of antlers could be heard when two bulls went at it.

Silverfur.Fanta.Patch

Silverfur wagged his tail and trotted up to Hydras, ready to tell her the news about him and...Fanta. " Hydras. I'm proud to annouce me and Fanta are mates."

Fanta turned her head in the direction of the caribou, lickign her chops. " caribou" she woofed.

Patch brushed his sleek fur across Equiss's. " Lovely night."

Hydras, Skeil, Bullet, & Equiss

Hydras took her attention briefly away from Atticus as Silverfur approached her. Ah, another happy couple in the pack... it was with a forced, slight smile that she nodded to him, "Congratulations to you both. Let this hunt be in celebration to you two as well." The alpha replied. She was happy for them, yet at the same time, her spirits were down. She had no mate still. After three years, she had no mate yet. Now wasn't the time to dwell on that though, for carribou could be seen. The alphess became more alert now and quickened her pace slightly. Set in a straight path, she headed right for the massive herd. Not running, not targeting any indivudal; not yet. She was going to test them first by simply leading the pack into their ranks and see just how they responded.

Equiss dissengaged from her siblings quite abruptly when Patch came towards her. "So many stars!" She replied, walking close to him so that she was shoulder-to-shoulder with Patch as she gazed up at the dark sky.

Bullet looked to his daughter, then nudged Sasha while grinning.

Silverfur.Fanta.Patch

Silverfur licked his lips hungrily ready for his chase after the huge animal but his pace was steady after Hydras, hearting beating heavily. Food. This celebration was just beginning.

Fanta stayed back with the group by Immortal, not wanting to be rude or anything. " What's this mongrel in for?"

Patch nodded and licked Equiss nose. " Lovely stars...whoa! What's that!" Patch pointed his snout towards the caribou.

Sweetclover, Atticus, & Phelan

Sweetclover smiled, her eyes lighting up a bit as Kekechoi came to talk to her, "I'm Sweetclover- daughter of Aaka and Legosa. I guess that makes us cousins?" She looked briefly to the others, then back to Kek, "Do you have any siblings?" Clover was very interested in getting to know her extended family.

Phelan was once again very pleased to have his mother so near to him. He was a momma's boy for sure, and didn't care what anyone thought of it. As Hydras led the pack towards the carribou, the little hybrid's eyes grew wide. "There's so many of them..." He whispered in awe.

Atticus saw the flash of teeth, but he brazenly kept his tail up and looked straight ahead as if he didn't notice the message that Hydras was sending him. "Ah, now that's what I call a feast." He went on to say, not put off that Hydras snuffed his earlier questions. Putting on some speed, he moved along with the alpha as they headed for the massive herd.

Aaka

Immortal giggled and pretended to fall with Skeil on top of her. When she heard Fanta's words however, her playful mood faded. She wasn't a packmate. She was a prisoner. She slid out from beneath Skeil and after giving Fanta a cool look, she brushed past and headed after Hydras, her tail low but her held up high in a show of the pride that Fanta had broken.

Kekochoi giggled at Sweetclover and said in a soft tone "I am your cousin, yes. I have siblings." Her eyes drifted towards where a black and silver male stood, a proud alpha with his golden eyes glaring hard at her. "Him for one. Thats Abamocho. The Devil." She had more siblings but they had not been seen for some time. Shaking her head she smiled. "What about you? Who all are your siblings here?" She could tell Phelan was, the way he was hiding by Aaka but it only caused the bluish black wolf to smile at him, her two toned eyes full of warmth. She was not as kind as she once had been, but still sweet.

Aaka stood and smiled at Keko and Clover. "Are you two joining, or going to stay here and chat?" With so many wolves, it didn't really matter if the girls stayed to chat or not. But Aaka needed to go now, she was injured and pregnant and had a hard time keeping up as it was but pride was a trait her and Immortal had in common.

Faute saw his brothers show of dominance and a snarl of rage escaped him. HE was not going to be bested by his brother. Anger filled him as it was, after the rape of his mother and he moved with near silence towards his brother and suddenly he leaped aiming for Atticus's spine. "Watch your step, brother." He hissed.

Abamocho glared at his sister for a moment, sulking. Soleda may not be here but he would bring back food for her. He trotted after the others, his eyes on the caribou. With a cackle he said "Its dinner time ladies and gentlemen!"

Soleda

Just as Abamacho was ready to give up that she would ever come, a steel gray form appeared over the nearest esker and came up beside him, rubbing shoulders with the larger male in greeting. Her voice was barely a breath as she spoke. Hey, trouble. And she let that familiar grin spread over her face, turning to focus her eyes on the caribou, waiting...

*Caribou*

A series of snorts went up in warning as the pack approached. Instead of running, most of the animals closest to the approaching pack turned their heads and stood tense, watching. They knew full well that they could outrun the canines, and there were so many in the herd, that most of them were safe.

As Hydras led the pack straight into the group, the nearest caribou lifted their heads indignantly and sprinted a few yards away before stopping and looking back. Now, all eyes were on the pack, yet no caribou ran unless a canine got close to it. Now it was a matter of choosing an creature that couldn't outrun the hunters.

Hydras, Skeil, Bullet, & Equiss

Hydras snarled suddenly, springing at Atticus to bowl him to the ground. "Mind your authorities!" She snapped savagely. She was known for her outbursts, although it was usually poor Bullet that was on the receiving end of her frutration. In light of recent unfortunate events, she had laid off her brother however. Arching her neck slightly, she shot a look to Immortal, warning the prisoner to back off. She had sunk into a rather poor mood now, mulling on the fact that everyone else was hooking up except her.

"Ah Immortal. If she can prove herself, she'll be the pack omega." Skeil explained, watching as the mongrel headed for Hydras. Bad idea... the pit bull thought, before continuing her reply to Fanta, "She was taken prisoner a while ago, but has since stayed with the pack and not caused trouble. In anycase, she'll always be the lowest on the totem." As the pack entered the herd of caribou, Skeil's eyes lit up with hunger and anticipation. Hardly able to contain herself with so much food standing around, she barked excitedly and rushed at the nearest caribou.

Bullet decided to be more methodical about this, and took his time to watch the reactions of the animals. If any showed extra fear or some sort of handicap, he'd target them in a heartbeat.

Equiss was amazed by the giant creatures- well, they were giant to her anyways. "Wow... we're suppost to hunt these things?!?" She was half excited about it, but half hesitant as well.

Abamocho

A smile lit up his face as Soleda was seen. "Who you calling trouble?" He trotted forth, and picking a random caribou, took off after it bark and snarling savagly but a grin was pressed to his maw. There was much to celebrate.

Soleda

Her smile automatically returned his, and she was about to make a fond, sharp retort when he sped away. Snarling to herself and mentally shaking her head, she kicked into gear and galloped off after him. A thunderous growl rose in her throat as she headed for the same caribou, death in her eyes.

Fanta.Silverfur.Patch

Fanta looked shocked at Hydras, shrinking back a ways. Scanning the caribou then glancing at Immortal. " Well Immortal, know your place in the pack and I'll be a little nice"

Silverfur sought a wounded male with small horns, he could easily be taken down with the pack.

Patch smiled looking up at the caribou. "I wish we could go...no...Hydras won't be happy if we scared of the caribou." he whimpered anxiously. "Hunting takes patience." Patch reminded himself.

Unknown

She wasn't in the hunting mood neither was the that hungry but she came to watch the others she was curled upon a rock that matched her silver hue so as not to show any prey the others might looking for that they were near. Her silver eyes watched with joy as the others had their fun. That was until that scent. Torture and Torment had been here. She growled silently to herself they had stalked her for sometime then vanished she wondered if they were back she aimed to kill one of not both. She shook her tiara she wasn't a fighter anymore she was loyal to her pack nothing more. Then she thought of Demon she was growing fond of the humorous male. Very fond.

*Caribou*

As the pack began to test the herd, most of the animals seemed fit and healthy. However, a few showed some signs of ailment.

There was one fellow in particular who had part of his antler missing after it was wounded during the spring's growth. He carried one leg out a bit, as if something were wrong with it.

There was an older female who's head and ears were not carried so high as her fellow cows. It could be a possible sign that all was not well with her as well.

Fallen

The crippled wolf limped in behind the pack, looking up to the action already taken place. She sighed and closed her eyes then found Unknown sitting aside from the hunt. Fallen knew it would be best if she didn't hunt, she was still in very much pain and couldn't bring herself to anything faster than a medocre trot.

"So you arn't hungry I take it?" She whispered as she limped up and stood next to Unknown. Black tiara held down in her submissive rank. Crimson eyes turned to the knee's of the pack mate and she gave a soft smile. "I am to weak to hunt, I'm sorry for the lack of help. I will be active again as soon as my strength returns to me." Her personality was changing, she was growing a bit more wise and not so young, prime at the age of three. She had reached the peak in her life and was now declining physically.

Torture*Torment

I moved with delicate silence through the eskers, my head held low, my ears forward. I could hear everyone conversing, the laughter the joy. Then my eyes fall upon Unknown. I grin maliciously and move forth, my black hide kept low to the ground as I slink behind her and Fallen. I make no noise, none what so ever. I am down wind, everything is on my side. Suddenly, without warning, I leap aiming for Unknowns spine. I had just heard Fallens confession, she was weak. Torment could handle her.

As if on cue, I came forth. I see my black brother leap for Unknown and I shake my head but continue on. "I'm sorry." I murmer. Then I leap, aiming for Fallen.

Unknown

She smiled down upon Fallen understanding how she felt she nestled herself down laying out on the rock even more as some buffolo came near. She didn't want to spook them
No I ain't too..............
She was sut short when the pain rocketed through her small silver chasis a loud yelp spilling out through the air. Luckly she had laid down far enough that the attack didn't hit her right in the spine or she would have been a goner. She picked herself up quickly. Seeing the male go for Fallen she forgot about herself and Torture.

Torment get away from her she can't stop you. You came here for me didn't you so leave her alone or I'll refuse to fight you and you aon't have any fun.

Demon

Demon finally made his way to the Eskers, having stopped for a moment from talking to his friend. As soon as he got there, already the pack was hunting and Unknown was being attacked as well as the wounded female, apparently her friend. He tensed, covered her heck with his head and silently slunk up behind Torture leaped, faking an attack to the back and going for the wolf's open side. He was attemtping to rip it open. He was silent, for the whole assault.

Unknown

She leapt for Torment. Screaming as she did so
Why won't you two leave me alone. She was so mad. Her silver eyes reflected it her dentals aimed to met Tormets not seeing Demon yet she wasn't going to let them take another life.
Fallen get out of here as quick as you can go home.
That was the last she said as she took to Torment.

Sweetclover, Atticus, & Phelan

Atticus had picked up on the approach of his brother, and sprung out of his reach just in time. He wasn't quick enough to avoid two strikes though, and Hydras had him rolling across the ground in a flash. The ego-centric hybrid picked himself up and shook sand and debris from his pelt. "Yeah, well... I didn't want to talk to you anyway." He mumbled just a sharp yelp split the air. Being upwind of of Torture and Torment, he didn't know that it was them attacking Unknown; nor did he really know who Unknown was.

Sweetclover was far more knowledgeable about the Lurker pack. When the yelp was issued, she cut loose from the pack and sprinted fast up the steep esker until she found the source of distress. Instantly, she sent a warning bark out to alert the rest of the Lurkers before she plunged into the turmoil. Torture was the brute she went for without question, trying to seize a grip on the side of his neck.

Atticus was racing up the ridge in a flash after his sister gave the alarm. While she went for Torture, he went for Torment. Unlike Clover's simple but reasonable attempt at her enemy's neck, Atticus choose a different area. He sent his powerful jaws for the brute's tail. He'd love nothing more than to send bolts of pain down Torment's spine and crush all the little bones that made up the all-important appendage.

Phelan was quite taken aback and did not stray from Aaka's side for a moment.

Fallen

Her mind was calm and at ease as she spoke with Unknown, but as Torture sprung apon the unsuspecting target, her insides set of the alarm and she stood quickly... too quickly. She crippled under herself then gave a sharp yelp as fire lit her back. Torments fangs dug deep inside. Peircing her skin and muscles like butter.

Crimson orbs grew large enough for a white outline to form. Her breath absent in the wake of the attack but quickly exploding from her lungs like an air horn next to your ear. Her muscles stiffened and she turned to bite her assailant, her pain pulsing like bee's pouring into their nest as she bit through blinding pain. As the others attacked, the promised jolts sent waves of lightning down her back. Her hair stood on end in the horrific manner.

Through mute pain, her voice finally cracked with a sheer plead "Someone! Get him off please!" her words ended in a screech as she fell over with her tail between her legs, hind claws kicking to get the brute away from her.

Demon

Demon suddenly stopped the assault on Torture when he heard the plea of Fallen. He paused, paw lifted as he remembered a similar cry from somewhere.......
No. Now's not the time. Get the bloody beast off. Demon continued his silence, running in spots where his paws wouldn't click, approached where Fallen and Torment were, and charged, head down in a ready and accurate attempt to ram him. Jaws open, optics looking up for accuracy, mind set, Demon kept having to remind himself he was a member of the pack now, he can't turn away like so many times before in the hearing of a plea for help. He ran faster, watching his target as he made sure his claws were ready to turn him in case he moved. He ran so it was easier to hit Torment, but also easy to stop and turn anytime.

Fanta.Silverfur.Patch

Fanta flicked her ears back when she heard Fallen and Unknown, her fur rose on her scruff and she pivoted around to see what was wrong. " You mongrel! When will you leave the Lurkers alone?" Fanta snarled as she raced forward, right at Torture's side.

Silverfur froze when he saw Fanta rush off, his mind set directly on the caribou. Whatever it was, Fanta could handle it. Silverfur watched Attitcus tumble over and flattened his ears, Hydras...

Patch whirled around, chasing his tail slightly like a pup. " I'm hungry."

Unknown

That was when the silver fea watched Demon rush past her to help Fallen. SHe halted her attack and moved about to face the one whom attack her first Torture. It wasn't until then she felt the burning sensation in her side. Her thick silver fur was matter with blood upon her side were his fangs at torn and ripped her flesh. She growled deeply.
Torture just me and you how does that sound. Lets make it intesting you have stalked me long enough.

Torture

I laugh as Unknown speaks to me. I can see we're out numbered, thats not hard to see. When Sweetclover goes for the attack I side step her, out of the way always moving to make myself a harder target. "Just me and you darling? None of these....Vermin?" I said giving a look to Clover and Atticus

I feel a sharp pain in my tail and I yelp, letting go of Fallen I turn and snap harshly at Atticus, my fangs going for his face hoping to gouge out an eye. Then Demon comes as well. With a snarl I pull away from Atticus, pain shooting up my tail and spine as I do so then I glare menacingly at the other male my fur bristled. "Torture....Leave her. We'll get her when we're alone." I growl but my brother ignores me. He wants her dead, I just want to be on my own. Away from him. I am murderous, yes. But to me Unknown was not worth all this effort to kill.

Fanta

Fanta growled at Torment, agreeing. " Back down mongrels, you're out numbered."

Unknown

Unknown bodded her crown as torture agreed to leave the others alone as lone as they fought she didn't want other getting hurt or killed because of her
Everyone stop this is between me and him let us end it right here right now
Her silver eyes narrow not sure if she could come out of this alone she looked to Demon quickly she forced a smile and in her eyes maybe he could see she cared. Looking back to Torture she was about to put everything she learned in the pit and in the wild into one fight. Right now she wait watching Torture for everyone to stop fighting.

Hydras, Skeil, Bullet, & Equiss

Hydras, like the others, had quickly drawn away from the caribou in favor of aiding her packmates. She arrived in time to hear Uknown's wishes, but a sharp growl showed she was not in approval of it. "I don't think it's wise, Unknown." The alphess looked sternly to the wolf, then disgustedly to Torture, "But if you feel the need, go ahead." With that, a look was sent to the others, telling them to stay back, but stay near. She would allow Unknown to fight the enemy alone, but she would be sure that Unknown won at the same time. "You have Torture, and the rest of us can have Torment."

Skeil and Bullet had followed after Hydras, and now the pit bull stood nearby her alpha. If things went the wrong way for Unknown, there'd be no question that the two would jump in to save her. Pride or no pride, they weren't going to stand by and watch her get killed because she wanted to fight this battle on her own.

Bullet took the alternative of approaching Torment. He was not in this little agreement between Unknown and Torture, so as far as the hybrid was concerned, he was fair game. "Time for you to pay."

Meanwhile, Equiss was lost in her own bliss with Patch. She began to spin around in a dizzying circle, snapping happily at her tail. Faster and faster she went, until she accidentally bumped into Patch. With a laugh, she shook her head, "Hey, what do you say we try to catch a caribou? They adults would be surprised, wouldn't they?"

Fallen

Her eyes widened as the wolf was drawn off of her and she quickly scampered to the outlines and away from the action. Her back coated in blood, she was now bleeding again, even after all of the blood loss.

She began to stagger around and behind the rest of the pack to look on in the invisible ring. She wouldn't help if the battle got out of hand, though it wasn't because she didn't want to. Her injuries from almost being slaughtered by her son, and the attack by Torment began to pound into her head. The world was almost upside down. Her legs gave out and she laid down, watching still, then closing her eyes and taking deep breaths. She couldn't believe she had pulled herself to come and now she was the weak link.

Fanta.Silverfur.Patch

" Okay!" Patch yipped quietly.

Fanta and Silverfur gazed at Torment, their maws where open slightly. " Come to ruin the party, eh murderer?" Silverfur snarled.

Fanta kept silent, a hatrid of the males brother killing Lasher and Panic bubbled in her veins. You will pay

Unknown

She nodded to Hybras a thank you written in her silver eyes. She had been stakled by this forsaken male long enough she would not let him get away this time. He moved about in a lazy circle crow low thorns back her. She wasn't a pit fighter anymore now she was fighting like a real wolf. He moved in head on at the last second dentals snapping the her feet lowered slightly and she threw her weight forward dentals seeking the joint on one of his front legs.

Torture

I watch her and move in a circle still, making myself still a difficult target. I see Torment being surrounded and I laugh softly. My brother could handle himself. Suddenly Unknown lunges forth and I leap back, not wishing to fight just yet. I want her to keep running. "Come on, pet. Come get me." I mock her softly. I hear the snapping of her jaws and laugh darkly. Suddenly I leap backwards again, even further from her. "You know you want me, dear pup. So come and get me." The last part was said on a snarl.

Fanta

Fanta watched Unknown and Torture duel, her eyes still fixed on Torment with a bubbling hate. Mongrel! If you laid a paw on Patch! Oh, you would've been dead! Fanta thought.

Patch sighed softly and tasted the air. A wounded female was off to the side. FOOD! " We should get that female over their" Patch's snout pointed for the caribou near the frontline, her leg dried with blood, and a open wound visible.

Demon

Demon silently looked to Unknown, her words running through his ears as she said them. His eyes locked onto hers. He knew he cared too. Altough he wished her to be safe, he knew other things were at hand.
"Be Careful." His optics flashed a plea to her as he turned back to the battle. But as Atticus attacked Torment, Fallen had slunk away. He pranced on his feet for a moment, finally slinking over to where Fallen had dropped. He stood beside her, tensed and ready.
"Can you move?" He asked, lowering his frame so he crouched beside her, fangs bared with radars pulled to his crown. He was going to have to protect the wounded fem. Demon sighed lightly.
"I really don't understand myself lately. But that's beside the point. How badly are you hurt? I'm going to stay and see if I can protect you best of my ability. Is that ok?" He suddenly added, turning his crown every which way to see if anyone were to come.

Unknown

Unknown growled as she felt her dentals close upon the air. She heard him mock her and she wanted to follow then realized he was toying with her. She stopped her silver eyes flashed at him her tone in her voice dropped as she remained defense ready to spring but taunted him back and didn't move.
Yes, I want you torture right here.
her eyes never left him he wanted to toy then she would too.

Fallen

Crimson globes looked up softly as his shadow fell on her. She gave a soft whimper in pain but she was able to subdue the painful cries for the most part. When he spoke of understanding himself she repeated half of the word "Under-" But trailed off softly. The word bearly below a whisper as he continued. When he was done speaking she struggled to try and lean on a front paw. She winced but kept herself up and looked to him. "I think I'll be fine enough until the battle..." Again she flinched and gritted her teeth. The pain forced her to yet again lay down. "They seem more occupied, I don't smell anymore. If you want to fight you can." She said softly, lowering her head and closing her eyes. Her spine was killing her, the flames shooting up her back and neck.

Demon

Demon shook his head.
"You never know what to expect." Demon said, finality hinting his tones. He wouldn't leave, no. He looked at her back and winced in sympathy vfor her. He could see the blood lining her fur and wound. As her eyes closed, He tensed noticably. If she slept, she was vulnerable. He swiveled his head each way, watching, waiting. He stood ready to attack.

Fanta & Patch

Fanta looked at Fallen, maybe she would stay back and lead the fae off to safety.

'Fallen, it's best you don't fight. Follow me if you want to.' Fanta swiveled around and flicked her head for Fallen to follow. Fanta had a rather soft spot of older wolves.

Patch looked at Equiss excitedly. 'let's go!

Hydras, Skeil, Bullet, & Equiss

With the confrentation around Torture and Torment, the caribou were surely scared off. The hunt was essentially ruined for the time being. And, it seemed the pack had new reasons to celebrate, and this time, the Aegis Den was a more suitable place for the celebration.

The alphess ascended a stretching ridge, making her form clearly visible and above all others. Tipping her cranium skyward, she split the air with a sharp, attention-getting howl meant to summon the pack around her. "The hunt is called off; we're heading back to the Den." She did not give further explanation by the orders, and she didn't need to. Looking briefly over her pack, Hydras padded down the loamy side and headed briskly for the Den.

Skeil was right behind her alpha, head up partially in a show of authority- though it was clearly below the queen's. What ever the reason for this change in festivities, the pit bull always stood by Hydras's decisions.

Equiss was disappointed, for she wanted to play with Patch. But, they could still have fun back at the Den. Besides, there were tons of rooms to explore, and maybe she could get one of the pack members to take them exploring. "I wonder what this is all about." She said aloud, speaking to Patch as she began to trot after Hydras and Skeil, "Oh well, we'll find something fun to do back home!" Bumping playfully into the other pup, Equiss scampered forward.

Bullet took a lesser position, keeping well behind the pack as they began to migrate back to the human town. He wanted to be sure his pups, as well as Hatch and Patch, weren't attacked on the trek back home.

Sasha

Sasha looked over the pack as well then trotted up to Bullet. Silently she followed her mate, her body close to his as she limped back home. She was quiet now, not her usual happy self. But that was ok, she was still healing from the sudden loss of Panic and Lasher.

Demon

Demon yeard the call from the alphess, surely it was o use waiting here for more caribou. He padded over to where the alphess had been as she trekked home. he paused, turned, his auds and ops searching for Unknown. He headed home, waiting.

Fanta&Silverfur

Fanta picked up Suenga in her maws and looked at Silverfur to get Wind Feather. The fae followed Hydras, wagging her tail as Sunega squirmed in her maws. " Settle down son."

Silverfur scooped up Feather in his jaws and started after Fanta.

" Oh well, at least we can head home! Have you meet my younger sibs?" Patch asked Equiss, grabbing the remaining sibling, Arget. " This is Arget, my father has Wind Feather and my mum has Suenga." Patch tried to say with Arget in his mouth.
