Turret

The large hybrid sauntered in with his muzzle to the ground. It didn't seem like the Sedge Creek pack was as large as it had once been, but he didn't really care one way or the other, just as long as he found who he came for. Turret paused just outside of their boarders and howled out deeply for the pack.

Ebony Sky

She followed Turret in glancing around. She joined him in his howl and stopped intently waiting for the rest of the pack.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca soon arrived and added her own half-howling note with Turret's and Ebony's.

Kasna was further back. He was traveling near Aminita, just incase the Shadow Lurkers tried to take her, or stop her from wandering off.

Aminita

The pup pads in, looking curiously about her. When she reaches the others, she tilts her lean muzzle back and howls out with the others.

Storm Alarm

A replying howl sounded out not too far off. In short time, a wolf strode towards the No Wolf Zone from the Sedge Creek territory boarder. She paused just in front of her boarder and looked over the strangers. "I'm the alpha of the Sedge Creek pack. Why do you call?" Feeling a bit ill, the wolf sat back on her haunches instead of standing with her tail and head raised high like most alphas would.

Turret

Turret dipped his head down a bit, and glanced at Fresca. He also cricked his tail a bit, expressing to his pack that he was unsure about this she-alpha; something seemed wrong. But he would let Fresca speak.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca glanced from Turret to Storm Alarm. She too picked up on the odd behavior of this supposed alpha. While raising her tail high, she cricked it a bit as a message to the rest of her pack to be wary of this wolf. "I am the alpha of the Alley pack. We were sent to search for the wolves Storm Alarm and Shadow. An alligator named Galar said they were good friends of his, and wanted to meet them again."

Like the others, Kasna cricked his tail to further state the wariness against Storm Alarm.

Aminita

She watched them crick their tails, and mimicked their actions. She wasn't quite sure just what it meant, but if they were doing it, she would too. She had the feeling that it meant caution, because of the way Turret and Fresca had glanced at each other after seeing Storm Alarm.

Storm Alarm

Her ears perked up a minute at the name of Galar. She noticed the tail position of the pack, but couldn't find the will to care about that, so she simply ignored it. "Galar is a good friend of me and my pack. And a very good friend of Shadow... but she hasn't been seen for many seasons..." The alpha shook her head, which caused a sudden pain. Once again she stood up, with the pain of some illness showing in her eyes. The sickness of it lingered on her breath.

Fresca & Kansa

Fresca raised her head higher and flicked an ear back to signal the pack to be alert. The scent startled her; she had smelt this before, and it wasn't a good thing. "Why don't you go on down and meet him? I really wants to visit with you again." The alpha paused, then spoke agian in a careful tone, "Who all lives in your pack...?"

Kasna dipped his head down in an almost defensive way. His blue eyes were fixed intently on Storm Alarm's movements.

Aminita

Aminita could smell the sick scent now, and it sent a tingle down her spine. She hadn't smelt it before, but she knew it wasn't anything good. She turned back to Ebony and whispered, "She sure smells funny. I wonder why?"

Storm Alarm

"I pretty much live alone now. My mate has dissapeared... I told my sister to leave not to long ago as well. Why do you ask?" Storm Alarm would normally be wary of such a question, but she wasn't right now.

Turret

Turret perked his ears up more at hearing this news. Moving towards Fresca, he whispered an idea to her, "We're without a real territory... perhaps we could take this one? The alpha is sick anyway; she wouldn't be able to hold out against us."

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca kept her eyes on Storm Alarm while she replied to Turret, "You are right. She will die soon anyway; stay away from her at all costs. I've seen this sickness before." Fresca warned before speaking up again, "Why don't you head down to Galar's Marsh and visit with him." she insists, eager to get the sick alpha away from her pack, as well as to explore the Sedge Creek territory and claim it.

Kasna turned to Ebony and Aminita and whispered, "Fresca says to stay away from Storm Alarm no matter what. And it sounds like we're taking this territory as our own." he gave a slight grin. It would be good to have a home again.

Aminita

Aminita nodded, but wondered just why they had to stay away from Storm Alarm. Maybe, she thought, it was because of that sick scent she carried. In any case, Aminita brushed the thought aside and brought up another one. She was excited about taking over this territory!

Storm Alarm

She looks directly at the alpha-dog and, surprisingly, gave a small nod. "Yes, I haven't seen him for a while." Normally, she wouldn't leave her territory with a large pack waiting just on its boarders, but she couldn't think straight right now. Without a furhter word, she padded towards Galar's Marsh, but made a wide semi-circle around the Alley pack, as if she didn't want to be near them at all.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca watched as Storm Alarm left and her tail relaxed to show her pack that all was well. "Lets claim our new home!" she announced boldly to her pack and headed for the Central Pack Lands of the Sedge Creek territory.

Kasna eagerly followed.

Turret

He watched Storm Alarm make the wide detour with a bit a confusion. Was she intimidated by their pack? He brushed the idea away and followed after his alpha, ready to defend his new home.

Aminita

She wagged her tail a bit, "We get a new home, Ebony! This will be so cool!" she said as she followed happily after the others.

Ebony Sky

She follows. She had sensed something worng with Storm Alarm as well. She tryed to shake the thought and smiled nodding as she followed.
