Luna

The wolfess slunk around a grassy area of the marsh where the grass concealed her. She moved slowly and kept alert, searching for any prey.

Nike and Soraya

they stayed close behind her keeping quiet...

Aquila

Aquila arrives following after Soraya and Nike. It was difficult for him to keep up by traveling through the muck and tall grass, but he wouldn't complain. He relied on his nose to try and pick up any useful scents.

Soraya

she pads quietly over to the Aquila and stands beside him....her brother was with Luna..

Shika

She pads in beside the others. Not liking the muck much she climbed a tree and walked from branch till branch till the others stopped walking. She looked around to help them search for prey since she was in a high place.

*Moose*

A young bull moose had recently been driven from his mother, since she now had a new calf to look after. He was large, but not experienced in surviving yet. The young bull hadn't picked up the wolves' scent yet, because of the many dead deer raised such a foul odor and blocked out other scents.

The moose looks around briefly before wading into some water and dipping his head down to nibble at some water plants.

Nike

seeing the moose he nudges Luna and motioned towards it...

Luna

Luna spotted the moose when Nike motioned towards it, "Good job." she whispered, then used her eyes and tail to signal her pack where to go. She signaled for Nike to follow her, and for Soraya to go around to the left side of the moose. She signaled for Aquila to keep in between her and Soraya. Then another thought came to mind. Perhaps Shika could help. Quietly, the wolf slunk over to the tree where the cat was, "Do you think you can go near the shore of the water and catch the moose' attention? We'll attack if he gets distracted by you."

Shika

She nods and quietly slinks through the trees and climbs down one by shore. She probably looked harmless to the moose since she was so small but she could distract him and beside looks weren’t everything. She meows a couple of times and paces to get his attention. She had a plan once they started attacking. Shed try to claw his eyes out if she could get up onto him which wouldn’t be to hard since she could climb up his side.

Nike & Soraya

Soraya slinked through the tall grass and stayed hidden...

Nike stayed with Luna ready to attack.. he was bigger than his sibling and it would be easier for him to attack the moose than it would for his sister..

*Moose*

The moose lifted his head and looked at the little feline. His huge ears came forward as he listened to noises Shika made. With curiosity getting the better of his young mind, the moose lumbers through the water until he gets closer to the tabby, trying to better figure out just what she is.

Shika

She makes a purring sound as she rubs against a tree to gain more of his curiosity and distract him.

Luna

The wolfess, crouching slightly in high grasses, watches the moose. Once the creature lowered his head, Luna signaled with her eyes and tail for her pack to attack, from which ever angle they could. Luna herself charged at the moose, and leapt up at his shoulder. Her powerful jaws attempted to clamp down on the moose's shoulder, while her blunt claws dug in any they could for grip.

Aquila

The elderly wolf limped forward at the fastest possible speed he could muster. With a ragged snarl, Aquila came straight at the moose. His jaws were parted enough for his worn old teeth to be seen, and his dull eyes glared with a fleeting bit of vigor. But Aquila didn't attack yet. He snarled and bristled his ragged fur to make himself look dangerous and draw attention from the rest of his pack.

Nike and Soraya

the both charge after Luna and Aquila.. Nike leaped into he air trying to grab the Moose's rump attempting to pull him down with his weight.

Soraya went after his throat with her sharp teeth...

*Moose*

The moose thrashed his splayed antlers at Aquila, and was about to charge the wolf when he was struck by the three others. When Nike attacked, the moose was pulled to the ground suddenly, and his long legs sunk into the mud to make it hard for him to move. Luna nearly knocked him over when she attacked, and her fangs dug into his shoulder. Soraya got his throat, but she also was in the way of his sharp hoof. The moose flailed his front hooves, and gashed the young wolfess across her shoulder and side. But because Nike had pulled him down, he couldn't quiet bring his hoof up enough to hurt her any more.

The moose tries desperately to stand, but the weight of the wolves on him, and the thick mire made it difficult. It would take many bite to kill this young moose though, and a good grip on his throat.

Shika

She quickly lunged at the moose when it fell and her claws extracted and she climbed up to the moose’ face and slashed at his eyes to blind him. She then clawed at his neck in many places trying to help make him loose blood.

Nike and Soraya

Soraya yelped when she was cut but jumped back at the moose's throat sinking her ivories into its neck..

Nike was angry that the moose had hurt his sister...he ripped at the animals shoulder hoping to tear the skin away.

*Moose*

The moose was enraged by the pain, and floundered to get out of the mud that clung so relentlessly at his limbs. He shook her head and bellowed loudly, and her managed to free one of his front hooves from the thick mire and strike at Soraya once more; for she was the only one he could reach at the moment. His large hoof slashed down one of her hind legs and fractured a bone there.

But as Shika scratched at his eyes, and Nike and Luna tore at his shoulders, the moose began to loose much blood. But still, he had enough energy to keep standing and fighting.

Aquila

Aquila made a clumsy charge at the moose and sunk his worn fangs into the creature's snout. Although the elderly wolf didn't posses much strength, he hoped his weight would be enough to bring the moose's head down and possibly force him to the ground.

Nike and Soraya

Soraya cried in pain as the moose kicked her, fracturing her back right leg. she lost her grip in the animal and fell back when the moose kicked her. she tried standing and charging back at the moose but her leg was hurting to bad she could hardly walk.

Nike, now outraged that the moose had hurt his sister her took her place at its neck. being larger than his sister he pulled at the moose's neck *hard*.

Luna

The wolfess ground her keen fangs deeper into the prey's shoulder, driving for the large vein she knew was there. She raked her claws against the moose's side, straining to keep her hold on him, while also trying to bring him down before her pack was hurt worse.

*Moose*

The moose was about to stomp the life out of Soraya, but Aquila caught his sensitive nose and forced his head down. They made it impossible for the moose to strike at anyone with his front hooves for the moment. Because of this, Nike was able to get a good aim at the moose's neck and driving his fangs in enough to hit a jugular vein. In nearly the same moment, his shoulder was torn to the bone by Luna, and a vital nerve was severed.

With the sudden loss of one leg, the moose crumpled to the ground and writhed there, trying to get back up. Soon though, he was dead.

Nike and Soraya

As soon as the moose was dead Nike went over to his sister, "Soraya, are you ok?"

his sister smiled a little, "oh, I am fine. My leg just hurts." she stands up and hobbles over to the moose, Nike right behind her frowning, he new she wasn't one to let other's know if she was really in pain.

Shika

She smiled and leapt to a tree as the wolf fell. She hoped Soraya was alright. She licks the blood from her paws and lick the mud off her feet for she was a cat and usually made sure she didn’t get to dirty. She leapt down to where the mud didn’t make her sink in and she stood close to Aquila.

Luna

Luna stood near the moose, satisfied with the kill; for the most part. She looks over her pack, and then at Soraya, "Are you sure you're alright?" the alpha questioned with concern. She glanced again at the rest of her pack members, inviting them to start eating.

Nike and Soraya

"My leg is just a little sore, that’s all, I will be better and a few days." she hobbles over to the moose and waits for Luna to eat first.

Nike followed behind his hobbling sister, he still didn't fully believe she was telling the truth about her leg.

Shika

She couldn’t quite bite through the tough skin as she padded over so she used her claws to rip a hole through the skin then she feasted.

Luna

She watched Soraya with concern still, not quite buying what she said. Still, Luna didn't want to push the subject, so she let it drop for now. The alpha tore through the meat and began to eat swiftly. She paused after a moment and glanced at her pack members, inviting them to eat as well. Luna was glad though that they had waited.

Nike and Soraya

Nike and Soraya walked over to the moose and ate quickly filling there stomachs...

Aquila

He tears through the thick skin and also begins to eat until he is stuffed. With a large yawn, the elderly wolf waits for Luna and Shika to finish eating.

Cortinarri

The alpha-she of the Silver Glades territory made her way through the marshes. She chanced to stray upon the fresh scent of the felled moose. Traveling down wind, Cortinarri made her way near the Moose until she was within sight of Luna's pack. Boldly, she stood there waiting for the rest of her pack to show up.

Wespero & Vevisca

The wolfess soon appeared behind her alpha, looking uncertainly upon the Aspen Grove pack. She knew that Cortinarri meant to drive them away from their kill, but she didn't want to cause any trouble between the packs.

Vevisca somewhat understood what was going to happen, and he was excited.

Nike and Soraya

Nike looked around while his injured sister ate from the kill.. he was keeping a watch for anything that might hurt her or the pack.

Soraya favored her hind leg while she ate from the moose.

Shika

She finished eating and purred. She licks her fur clean like any cat would and detracts her claws and pads over to Aquila. She leaps to a tree and climbs it ad lays down waiting. She caught scent of the other pack but didn’t really pay much attention for it could have been just a old scent.

Amber, Charcoal

Amber pads beside her mother excited.

Charcoal stays next to Vevisca watching and waiting for his mothers instructions.

Cortinarri

Cortinarri surveys Luna's pack coolly. Two healthy adults, one that looked injured, a very old one, and... a cat? Cortinarri grinned, her pack had three wolverines; or there were three wolverines.

Confident that she, Wespero, and the three growing pups could handle the Aspen Grove pack, the alpha urged her pack to follow her. Raising her hackles and baring her fangs, Cortinarri strode towards the moose, warning Luna and the other to back off.

Luna

Luna glared straight back at Cortinarri, flashing her fangs as well, "This is our kill, back off!" she was worried, but didn't show it. The last thing her pack needed right now was a confrontation.

Nike and Soraya

both Nike and Soraya showed their hackles, backing up Luna...Nike was large and strong and his sister may be injured but she could still hurt one of the pups...

Amber, Charcoal

Amber was real excited. She snarled viciously. "You better listen to my mom!" She snarled.

Charcoal padded beside his sister. he hadn’t thought it was a good idea to make enemies with another pack but he would help nevertheless. He snarls at Luna.

Shika

She leaps down from the tree beside Luna. She looked to Aquila then to Nike and Soraya. She hissed at the opposers. Her claws came out. She knew she could take out an eye with them and that’s what shed try if they attacked.

Wespero

Wespero wasn't one who liked to make enemies either, but she wouldn't disobey her alpha right now. With out showing her reluctance, Wespero bared her fangs and slowly stalked closer to the others.

Vevisca, on the other hand, was very interested in this. Growling as fiercely as he could, the pup made a mock rush at Shika, then backed off a few feet. He was half the size of his mother already, and growing fast because he was an only pup to his parents.

Cortinarri

She didn't want to risk a fight, but she wanted this easy meal. The alpha tossed her head back, and called for the rest of her pack. She knew it was only Keilo and Vatoni, who probably wouldn't come anyway. But, she hoped to intimidate her enemies. "You'd better leave quick before the rest of my pack shows up." The alpha smirked and padded closer to Luna, crouching her body low in an attack mode.

Shika

Shika hisses and leaps back just a bit as Vevisca mocks an attack. She growls and swipes her paw with her sharp claws at Cortinarri when she gets close.

Amber, Charcoal

Amber and Charcoal were also getting big and fast just like Vevisca.

Amber was as excited as Vevisca and she also mocked attacked Shika and Luna.

Charcoal watched and snarled.

Nike and Soraya

the were both as big as Vevisca and Nike was a little larger. he snarled showing his teeth at Vevisca..

Soraya stared strait at Cortinarri with her blue eyes showing her teeth..

Cortinarri

Cortinarri's face flashed with true anger for a moment before turning to it's taunting look when Shika clawed at her. A bit of blood beaded from three scratches on her muzzle. "You will be dead if one of us gets a hold of you. Just wait till our wolverines come. You'd just better leave before then, though." Cortinarri howled quickly once more for her pack, then bristled her fur to its highest and raised her tail to make herself look bigger and fiercer.

"This is your last chance; back down!" the alpha snarled with sudden anger, glaring at Luna.

Nike and Soraya

they kept snarling waiting to see what Luna would do, but whatever choice she made they would back her up.

Luna

Luna narrowed her eyes, not sure if she should trust Cortinarri's threat or not. If it were true, her pack wouldn't have a good chance. As it was, Soraya and Aquila weren't in the best state to fight. Only Nike and herself were completely healthy. No, it wouldn't be a fair fight.

Luna wouldn't let pride decide this fight; her pack members could get seriously wounded. Shika could be killed, and so could Aquila. With a raging growl the alpha spoke to Cortinarri, "You're lucky our whole pack isn't here." with a reluctant look to her pack members, she signaled for them to leave. She would leave last, and make sure her pack left without further injury.

Nike and Soraya

they stopped snarling and fallowed there alpha's orders leaving swiftly...

Shika

She snarled at the thieves. Shed leave but she waited for Aquila to leave first. Shed be second to last to leave.

Aquila

Aquila narrowed his eyes at the intruders, and wished desperately that he had the strength and speed of his youth. The wolf knew full well he wouldn't stand a chance against any of Cortinarri's pack. With a muttered sigh, Aquila turned to leave. But as he did, he defiantly ripped a hunk of the meat. With a glance at Shika, the old wolf limped back to his pack lands. He made sure that his feline friend was close behind, because he wouldn't let her get hurt.

Shika

She sees Aquila grab a piece of meat and she does the same with a large hunk. It was large and probably almost as heavy as her but she managed to somehow carry it. She followed Aquila.

Cortinarri

Cortinarri expanded her ruff further and walked toward the moose with a discerning look to Luna. Not even waiting for Luna to leave, although she was on guard still, the alpha began to eat. With a motion of her tail, she beckoned her pups to join her in the feast. She did not, however, invite Wespero or Vevisca to eat just yet. They would have to wait for the moment.

Amber, Charcoal

Amber happily padded over and ate till she was full. She then backed away and cleaned the meals blood off her pelt. Charcoal did the same as Amber.

Santori

The wolverine came racing in, finding his pack. Without waiting, Santori tore a piece of a hind leg from the moose and sprinted back to the pack lands without bothering to eat. He was returning food for his friend's mate.

Cortinarri

Cortinarri rumbled at the wolverine, but didn't do anything more. Her pups were done eating, and so was she. "Maybe Vatoni had her pups; we should go see." the alpha announces, mainly to her pups. Leaving Wespero and Vevisca to eat now, the alpha sprinted off to the den site of the territory.

Amber, Charcoal

They both yip excitedly and smile. They dash after their mother.
