Lisa

Lisa was growing impatient."Go,"she yelled.Suddenly she saw somthing out of the corner of her eye.Turning she saw a cute guy walking by.She wondered if she knew him.Unfourtantly she wasn't paying attention to the dogs.

Sarah went if the others did.Suddenly seeing a rock she veered to Rawn's side.That was a mistake though.She ran faster so she didn't bump into them.She didn't see the ice yet,but once they get past the trees they hit it strait on.They were still a bit away,but fast approaching.

Sled Team

Robin Hood had been walking for what seemed like ages and he beagan to doubt Much's sense of smell. However he soon saw the girl and smiled. He suddenly seemed to recognize her and walked quickly over. instead of straight out saying she looked fermiliar he figured he would act innocent,

"excuse me but do you know any good places to hike around here?"

He asked this plainly and simply.

Rawn heard the word "hike" and immediatly sprang into action. Layzer, Kwee, P'roul, Pw'eek, Khar, Wiseheart, Saam, and Parm all did the same at the exact same moment. Alsost immediatly the sled was flying with every dog barking hapily at the feeling of the wind rushing through their fur and issing their no longer dormant muscles.

however Sarah had decided to do just what Rawn had feared. She ran right in his line of vision.

"you idiot I can't see!"

He howled. Finally she moved out of his way and to his utmost horror he saw the oncoming ice. The brute dug his paws immidiatly into the gorund but they had already hit the ice, soon the white sheet had two long streaks of red that led right to a hole in the ice.

Lisa

"Yes the eskers,"she said smiling.Then she saw the dogs."Oh no,"she hollared and ran to them.She unhooked the dogs while going by and tried to pull them back.Then she ran over to Rawn and Sarah.

Sarah fell into the ice as well,but began kicking.She attepted to grab Rawn,by his scarff.Her muscles ached and began to feel heavier.She wouldn't be able to pull him out.

Lisa tried to grab them,but they were too heavy."Layzer come here boy,"she called to the dog.

Sled Team

The team stared in horror at their fallen leader.

They all began to bark and dance on their paws.

LAyzer was already way ahead of lisa's thinking and had torn free of his harness already. He rushed to the bobbing head of sarah and grabbed her scruff he easily pulled her out and threw her to the side, furious with her a her stupidity.

The strogn brute then plunged his head in and grabbed Rawns scruff as well. He then slowly dragged him out and laid him on the ground.

Rawn was unconcious. He had most likely swallowed to much water and the pain combined had nocked him senseless.His paws wereseeping blood showing what he ad done to save his team. and yes even to atempt to save sarah.

Lisa

Sarah coughed some of the water she had swolled.Seeing what Rawn had done to save them she felt guilty.Quickly she ran over to Rawn and layed down beside him trying to keep him warm."Lay down beside him,"she said to the other dogs immeditly.She nthen began to lick the water out of his fur.

Lisa ran to the house to get some blankets and a heating pad big enough for three dogs.Quickly she ran ton the enclosure and put up the heating pad.Then she ran to Rawn and attepted to pick him up and take him in the enclosure.Then she put the others in the other one togather except for Sarah.She was wet as well.She put her in with rawn and attepted to put blankets on them.Then she rembered the man she had saw.Was he still here.She went back out to see.Her dogs were okay now or so she thought.

robin Hood and Sled Team

Rawn remined unconsious.

LAyzer snarled at Sarah and shoved her out of the way.

"you have caused enough trouble for us today. Don't you tink he would know that you running beside him was a horrible idea, he is a trianed led dog and has been for many years and yet you disregard him and now look at him!"

the brute snarled at her as he stood over Rawn. All the others obediantly went into their pen but pressd themselves as close to Rawn as possible.

Robin Hood ha not moved but had watched the happenings in awe. He was about to send much to help but saw that it was already being taken care of. Fianally he saw the woman coming back and smiled a bit worriedly at her.

Lisa

Sarah narrowed her eyes,but refused to budge."Your leader needs help,and seeing that Lisa didn't put you in the same pen shows that you can't help as much.Either let me help or you can just find another leader,"she growled at him harshly.Using her teeth she pulled off her blanket and put it over Rawn.The images flashed through her eyes of when she felled,but she ignored them.She wasn worried that if Rawn didn't wake up soon he might stay uncouncis forever or die.

Lisa smiled."Their okay now.Is that a wolf,"she asked softly spotting Much.She knelt to one foot and pulled out a dog treat."Hi their fellow.You want a treat,"she spoke calmly to him.If he took it or not she raised back up and waited for an answer from the man."By the way I'm Lisa,"she said.

Sled team and Robin Hood

Layzer snarled and lunged at the fence.

"I am sick and tired of you being little miss all powerfull princess. We get you are our alpha when we are not together as a team. But all of us in the tam grew up together and most of us are siblings. We look to Rawn as our father and we will never let anyone replace him!"

He was furious but allowed her to stay near Rawn.

Khar'pern was raving mad and had been pinned down by Saam and Parm who looked utterly bemused at all that was happening.

Robin Hood smiled at the mention of Much.

"yeah he is. His name is much (pronounced modge)"

He patted the burly wolf on the head. The dog had a large bag on his back but was clearly carrying it by choice. Much took the treat silently and swallowed it whole.

"i'm Robin Hood, nice to meet you lisa"

He stuck out his hand in greeting. The bow was held securle in the other.

Lisa

"I'm only trying to help,"she said harshly.Layzer was getting on her last nerve,and if he didn't back off soon she swere she come through the fence!She stayed where she was silently.Her fur was drying slowly,but she didn't care.She wasn't going to show weakness.

Lisa nodded her head.She attepted to shake his hand."Are you going hunting,"she asked him.

Robin Hood and Team

Layzer snarled again he knew he was getting on her nerves but he had o get his point through to her thick head.

"SO WAS HE!!!"

Layzer barked loudly as he looked down at Rawn's body and bloddied paws.

Robin nodded and looked at his bow absentmindedly.

"yeah, time to stock the shack for this week"

He smiled and looked abck at Lisa.

:those are some fine dogs. But what was the one that wasn't hitched up doing?"

Lisa

Sarah had it.She snarled her loudest snarl and stood up.She walked to the fence and looked him square in the eye."I know that.If he hadn't done what he done we pronly all of died,"she said harshly.He had pulled the last straw and one more remark and he was going to wish he hadn't.Then she turned and went back to Rawn."Is their anyway you can get him up or something,"she asked them.A word that might wake him up or something."Rawn can you hear us,"she asked him.Please,please answer she hoped.

Team

The team was by Layzer's side in a heartbeat and all had their razor sharp teeth bared.

"you seem to misunderstand us. We are a team, a familiy and we have known each other all our lives. Youe mess with one and your deal with all. We like you and respect you but your are not on the team."

This time it was Khar to speak. Everyone looked suprised but nodded in agreement.

At the question P'roul stepped forward and laughed at Sarah. She then lokoed down at Rawn and smiled and said one world simply one word.

"Hike"

She barked sharply.

Quick as a whip the dog was on his feet and looking wildly about however just as quickly he howled in pain and fell back on the ground licking his feet. He hadn't noticed sarah there yet.

Lisa

Sarah jumped up in shock.She smiled holding back a laugh."I guess that'll do,"she said to P'roul.She then turned to all of them."Sorry,"she said meaning it.She felt a bit bad at being mean to them.

Lisa waited silently.Would he leave or continue talking to her.She knew she didn't know him or seen him.Had he seen her before at the cafe or something she thought.

Team and Robin Hood

At the sound of Sarah Rawn whipped his head around and snarled venomously. He didn't know she had already been yelled at.

"you idiot!!! what where you thinking I told you, I specifically told you to not run beside me!!! you could have died, no, My TEAM could have died!!"

The rest of the team had gone back to their own areas and things to do after her apology.

Robin smiled again. and also waited. He was curious as to the fact she had had nor reaction to the fact that he was the robin hood. Steel from the rich, give to the poor save lives sacrifice your own kind of guy.

maybe she hadn't heard of him...

Lisa

Sarah pulled back to a far off corner.Her pelt bristled.Fear shone in her eyes,but also determination."Don't yell at me!Your not the first one that has!I apoligized to your team already.Your the only one left.I'm sorry,and thank you for saving my life,"she said her voice soft.When that was done she turned her head away.She had also tried to save his twice,but he didn't know that.She had risked her own life trying to pull him out,but that had dragged them both under again cause he was too heavy.She had given him all her blankets,and i had gone cold.She was still wet too from the fall.Her fur was taking forever to dry.

Lisa hadn't heard of him.She was new here so she wouldn't know.She smiled."So the best place to hike and hunt would be Eskers,"she said softly.

Team and Robin Hood

Rawn snarled grufly. He stood up wincing as he felt the dirt sink into his wounds, he knew it was dumb but was tired of her taking pitty and being spoiled she had acted dumbly and to him it was unforgivable.

He walked over to her and threw the blankets on her. Then he turned back around and skillfully ran up to the fence andjumped over it using his bloddied paws to climb the wooden surface he then landed without grace on the other side followed by a muffled yelp and walked to a corner where he layed down and curled into a ball. His paws were wisible and were clearly torn to shreds.

Robin hood nodded but had a bit of frown on his face. If she were to go online and lok him up he would be there.

"so umm.. I guess I will see you later?"

He shook her hand again but silently left a paper with his number on it in her hand he then turned and walked back into the forest with Much at his side.

Lisa

Sarah watched silenly not aying nothing.She wanted to snarl when he threw the blankets on her,but she held it in.Getting up she shook them off.Then layed in another corner curling up.Inside she was full of fear.Until now she was Lisa's only dog.No one to share her with.She had been Lisa only and favorite dog.She was scared that may change with the new dogs,but she refused to admit it.Closing her eyes she pretended to fall asleep.Her breathing turning lighter.Ears fallen half over,but they stilllistened.She had to know the other dogs plans if they had any at all.

Lisa blushed a bit when she felt the paper with his number.She simply nodded her head at his question silently.She probly look him up later on the computer.Silently she went to the barn."Okay dogs you had a long day.So lets put you in the house by the fire for tonight,"she said smiling.She let the door habnd open and let them out.Than she led them to the house silently.

Sarah didn't follow.She probly exploe tongiht and be alone.

Team

Each of the dogs followed and gladly walked into the house.

Rawn was caried in by wiseheart and P'week.

Sarah

Sarah watched them all go silently.Once it was fully dark outside she leapt out the enclosure into the one near the door.Walking to the door she opened by hitting the lock with her nose.An old dog can't learn a new trick huh?She padded out the cool air hitting her fur harshly.A blizzird will be blowing in soon.Making it impossible to see she thought.Smiling she walked around checking everything out.Tail wagging she sat down and threw her head to the skies.She felt so happy that she let out a howl.Mostly wolves do that,but dogs will do.Her voice was soft and full of joy for now.She perked her ears when she heard others answer her.If the sled team came out thinking wolves were attacking she laugh herself dead she thought with a small giggle.

Saam Kwee

Saam's ears pricked at the sound of a howl. Being half wolf he could tell it was not a wolves bark. He mumbled under his breath and sat up. The brute sat and let his eyes focus a moment before standing up and shaking himslef. He then began to walk silently, soundlessly towards the door making sure to step over all the sleeping dogs.

"Where are you going saam?"

Kwee's voice seemed to float about the room.

Saam looked about in suprise to find to sequin eyes staring at him from behind the couch.

"heard a howl, it was sarah"

He mumbled grufly.

Kwee smiled deviously and quickly sped after him.

The two stepped out onto the porch without a sound, they could feel the blizzard coming. The two huskies would easily live through the toughest of blizzards, sarah on the other hand.

Saam smiled and looked at Kwee, with a nod from her the both lifted their muzzles and let out their song. Both of them were part wolf and the mixture made their howls sound erie, haunting heart stopping terryfying.

Sarah

Sarah perked her ears when she heard two howls behind her.She saw Saam, and Kwee.She smiled.Throwing back her head again she let loose another howl.She could survive a blizzard as well as any dog could.Sh been through worse even if they didn't know it.She waited for their reaction to her joining in with their song.She hoped they weren't mad.After all she caused enough trouble as it was.

Saam Kwee

Saam ceased his howl as well as Kwee.

But when sarah howled again they both lept off the porch simultaneously and landed on her pinning her and glaring daon into her face.

"your an eejit. What are you thinking howling like that more than once?!"

Kwee snarled.

The two then got off her and began circling her, however Saam was smiling kindly as if he were just having fun.

"what about your owner, you look like a cayote out here and we like wolves, if she looked out that window and saw us she would shoot us dead in a heart beat"

Saam mumbled to her.

Sarah

Sarah jumped out of the way silenlty."Just so you know Lisa won't shoot an animal unless it attacks,"she said softly.She hated to correct them,but it was true.Sarah knew her owner too well.She offered a smile though.She was showing she wasn't being rude or aggressive."Were the others,"she asked ears pricked.The blizzard was getting close.Maybe if the others came out they could play around for a bit.No humans, and no rules what so ever.

Saam Kwee

Saam sat and glared at her he growled lightly at being corrected.

Kwee snarled but sat as well.

"you never know what a human will do"

Saam looked at kwee and nodded his aproval.

He then looked back to Kwee with an odd expression accross his face.

"sleeping. in case you didn't notice Rawn almost died to save you and us. Not to mention we almost lost our lives too"

He snapped at her, this dag was wanting to play after the day, even if it was what they were all bred for.

Sarah

Sarah narrowed her eyes.It was like they read her mind,but she wouldn't show that."All i did was ask were they were,"she said.Her voice was normal refusing to go high just to argue with the two."Look can we call it truce.I made a mistake and i'm sorry,but everyone makes mistakes,"she said softly.She had been sitting out here thinking and replaying the images in her head.She knew it was her fault,and thats why she sounded so deafeted.

Crystal was on the computure looking up Robin Hood.She was shocked a bit at what she found.This guy was no ordinary man.Boy you pick them good a voice said sarcasticly in her head.Their was no way he talk to her again probly.

Thre of a kind

Kwee laughed.

"why would you ask where the team was when your human walked us all inside?"

Her eyes gleamed in delight.

Saam smiled and chuckled a bit.

"clearly you wanted to play. We aren't stupid"

Saam's fluffy tailed swatted at the air his fur was soft and thick.

"leave the poor thing alone you too, haven't you given her enough grief for today?"

A rough, aggravated but kind voice washed over their heads. From the shadows stepped Parm.

He lept from the stairs and landed in between the two. There was a large, dark, gash in his right shoulder from the impact of the sled sliding into him as he tried to stop it earlier that day.

Sarah

Sarah lowered her head shamefully at what they said.She then heard a new voice and turned to see Parm.She saw his gash and gasped.Had Lisa tended it when she put the dogs in the house?She went over to him to get a better look."Does it hurt?I could get Lisa if you like,"she offered softly.Her face was no longer a smile,but a frown replaced it.

Three of a kind

Pamr smiled at her and stepped a bit away.

"i'm fine, can barely even feel the damn thing anymore. let the human be."

Kwee and Saam stared both in awae and slight frustration at PArm.

Sarah

Sarah nodded her head."Well is their anything you want to do,"she asked them.The wind was picking up a bit, and the snow feel just a bit harder.It will be here in no time she thought.

Parm

Kwee snarled and turned towards the house. She grabbed the scruff of saam and dragged him in behind her like a little kid.

Parm watched them with amusement and then looked back at sarah. The wind lashed at his wound and he bit back the pain.

"why are you so det on playing sarah?"

HE asked kindly he moved a bit closer to her in case she needed some warmth.

Sarah

Sarah sighed.She didn't think Pwee and Saam liked her very much.She glanced at Parm when he asked her the question."Truth be told i never had a sibling to play with.When i was taken in by Sarah their was so little i could do.I haven't played with someone in a long time.It was always serionuss and stuff,"she said softly.She perked her ears when the storm hit."We can go inside if you want,"she said looking at his wound.

Parm

Parm smiled kindly at her.

"so you figure that after what you did today you would wait outside and then let out a howl waking up not only most of us but others as well, others that could kill you, and then hope for us to wnat to play? we just got here, almost had our lives taken, are dealing with Khar and well much more and you want to play?!"

PArm smiled and supressed a laugh he nudged her and glared at the growing storm.

"we will play with you I promise but it will take time for them, and even me, to get used to you. And you should really listen to Rawn, he has saved our lives many times and knows what he is doing"

Parm nodded and walked onto the porch not going inside yet.

Sarah

Sarah sighned to herself silenlty.Getting up she followed him."I'll hold you to it,"she said meaning it as a joke.She went in the house, and curled up.Soon she was in a deep sleep.
