Tornado

The young alpha sprints down onto the beach, and looks out into the salty waters. He gave a loud howl, calling for the orcas. His mate, and perhaps the rest of his pack would be here to see them.

Aliyyah

she pads up behind him and licks him on the cheek. "were are the Orcas?"

*Orcas*

Suddenly, a large spout of mist rises from the water, and the glossy black back of an orca becomes visible. The orca swims close to the shore , until it seems like she might be beached, but she wasn't. Her large eyes look from Aliyyah to Tornado. "Welcome back, Tornado. Who do you have with you?" she asks, looking at Aliyyah.

A dozen other orcas could also be seen, just behind the large female orca. Most of them brought their heads up out of the water to see the wolves.

Tornado

"This is my mate, Aliyyah." so saying, he nuzzled Aliyyah, "These are my friends. I met them when I was first lost from my pack."

Aliyyah

she smiles "its nice to meet you"

Winters Night

She pads in after the others and looks at the orcas for she was amazed at their size. "Hi I am Winters Night." She said.

Demon

Demon follows after Winters Night, and looks with surprise at the huge mammals. "They're pretty big!" he whispers to his pack members, "Tornado, how did you ever make friends with them? I've never seen orcas before."

*Orcas*

"Nice to meet you all. So you all belong to Tornado's pack then? Have there been any troubles with humans lately? There haven't been here for a while." the large orca looks towards Demon and grins slightly, but doesn't say anything.

Aliyyah

she nods, "there were some humans around the pack but I don't think they will come back" she smiles...

*Orcas*

"I think humans are planning to come here to the bay sometime soon. They try to capture us. Tornado has already agreed to help us if humans come, but would you three also be willing to help us if any humans come to capture us?" the orca asked. Three younger orcas began to do flips near the shore, trying to show off for the wolves.

Aliyyah

"of corse! yes I will help you!" she looks at Demon and Winters Night wondering if they would help to...

Winters Night

She watches the young orcas amazed with their tricks she then turns back to the killer whale that spoke. "Of course. I hate humans. They are the lowest creatures on earth and they don't even fight without using some kinds of weapons to help them. Just call when you need my help. Anyway what’s your name?" She asks the whale that spoke. She wasn't going to ask all the whales their names for it looked like there were more then 100.

Sanoki

She grinned, "We think alike, in our view of humans. I truly appreciate your help, and you can expect any help we can offer you whenever you need. My name is Sanoki. I am the matriarch of the Silv Cove pod." The orca lifted her tail quickly, sending much water into the air, and onto her back. The young ones behind her continued to do flips,

Winters Night

She smiles and a nod is given. "So when do you expect the humans to com exactly?" She says curiously. "Cause if you know when I will come early just incase.

Sanoki

"They might come tomorrow, actually. A day or so before they come to try and catch us, I notice that many other humans crowd around the area." Sanoki looked up to a road that was near enough to the cove to be seen. Many humans paraded up and down the street waving signs and banners, protesting against the capturing of the orcas that would happen tomorrow. Sanoki sighs, "I don't understand a lot of what they do."

Winters Night

She nods. She then looks to Tornado. "Oh I want to let you know I put lots of food in the caches at the pack lands for the pack. There are 4 sheep a calf and some of the deer we had once." She says. She then looks back over to Sanoki. "Since they are probably coming tomorrow I will sleep somewhere around here tonight so I can help you as soon as they come." She says.

Tornado

"That will help us a lot, thanks." Tornado replied gratefully to Winters Night. He turned his gaze up to the distant road, seeing all the people up there. He hoped that many people wouldn't come tomorrow to capture Santori's pod, but he'd still help if they did. The alpha turned his sight to the sky then, and noted that is was going to be dark soon. "Shall we find a place to sleep now? I guess we'll need plenty of rest to be ready to help the orcas tomorrow."

Winters Night

She nods agreeing with Tornado. She sees a dock and she pads under it into the shadows and lays in the sand where she had a good view of where the orcas were and if it rained it would be a good shelter from the rain. She looks to Tornado. "I think this would make a good spot and their is plenty of room." She says. She lays her head on her paws waiting to see if the others would come over.

Tornado

Tornado glances back at Aliyyah and Demon before padding over to the dock. The alpha took a quick look around before lying down under the wooden platform, near to the lapping waters of the bay. He waited for nightfall.

Winters Night

Soon it got dark and the stars in the night sky came out. She closed her eyes shut and was soon fast asleep but alert for if she heard any strange noises that humans made then shed wake in an instant. In other words she was sleeping light just incase.

Demon

Demon crawled under the dock as well. He glanced over at the water now and then, watching the orcas. Soon, though, he fell asleep.

*Humans*

Just as the sun began to creep up into the sky, many vehicles arrived.

The pod of nearly 40 whales was resting in the harbor. They slept there to get shelter from the harsh waves. Suddenly, four boats sailed around the exit of the bay. 20 of the orcas made a dash for the exit and got out before large nets were put out to prevent the other 20 from escaping.

Two other boats entered the bay and spread out nets, trying to catch the orcas and herd them into shallower waters. Many humans stood around the shore in wet suits, ready to get in to help capture the orcas when they were in shallow waters.

Winters Night

She awoke soon and saw the humans. She leaped up and mad a dash and leap on one of the boats. Perhaps she could get one of the nets down so the orcas could escape. She ran to where the nets were controlled and started stepping on all the buttons to hopefully get the net out of the way. She sees to humans near by and she lunges at them both to knock them down. She grabs ones neck and bites hard then does the same to the other.

Tally

She follows the huntress, demoness swiftly leaps onto the boat and slinks around curious of the place.

Tornado

Tornado races out across the rocky beach where the humans were with their wet suits. He ran around then, snarling and barking and trying to cause confusion. He chooses one human and leaps up, trying to lock his jaws around their throat to cause a lethal wound, the spring away.

*Humans & Orcas*

The humans have never had any problems with wolf or dog packs hanging around the bay before. They were very alarmed to have this pack rush from the dock. The two humans on the boat were caught of guard and so surprised by that attack, that they weren't able to do much before being killed by Winters Night. When the wolfess pressed the buttons, the boat sudden jarred forward, sending everyone to the ground. The nets were dropped, but buoys on the top prevented the nets from sinking. But, when the boat had moved forward, an opening was created for the orcas to swim out. The humans on the boat quickly picked themselves up. Many of them picked up objects like buckets, crowbars, pipes, and other dangerous stuff to through at Winters Night and Tally.

The humans on the shore were equally as startled, and the one unfortunate victim didn't get out of the way before his throat was laid open by Tornado. A few other humans ran to his aid, but the man quickly died. Those humans picked up large rocks and began to hurl them at Tornado.

In the meantime, the orcas whistled and called out in various noises that they can make. They leapt high into the air and slammed back into the water on their sides, sending much water up onto the boats in anger. Once they saw an opening between the boats, the rest of the pod quickly swam for the exit and made their way out. The 20 orcas surfaced on the outside of the bay, in freedom. They called thanks to the wolves that had helped them.

Winters Night

She watched them swim free and then she howled to them. She then focused back on the humans. She'd make them wish they never came here. She leaped on one of the humans before they were able to get up. She grabbed the humans throat and bit down hard once more as she did before to kill this human. She soon released after she bit the hardest she could and snarled at the other humans as a warning.

Tornado

Tornado dipped his head down, growling low. He rushed at another human who went to help the first, and struck at their throat then sprung away. He caught a glancing blow from one of the rocks to his side, and snarled in reply to the pain.

*Humans*

The third human on the boat dies at Winter Night's fangs. A human nearby hurls a wrench at you. The tool hits your side, bruising a rib, but not breaking it. Another human kicks Tally as the pup wanders near him, and send her skidding across the deck.

A second human on the shore is killed. Angered and alarmed, more rocks are chucked at the wolf. Two hit him forcefully on the shoulder, and another one hits his head.

Winters Night

As the wrench hits her side she yelps. She turns to the human who threw the wrench at her and lunges at him. She reaches for his neck and bites down hard enough to kill him. She then sees the pup. She runs over to the pup and grabs him by the scruff and carries him under the dock where he’d probably be safe for now. Then she runs to Tornados side. She sees the humans hurling rocks so she lunges at one that was nearby. She repeats this to 3 other humans so thye'd fall and it would take time for them to throw more rocks.

*Humans*

A forth human was dead from Winters Night. These humans weren't use to being around dogs, let alone wolves who were much swifter in attacks. And no other place but here did wolves seem so dangerous to humans.

Two human fell as Winters Night lunged at them, but the third was smart enough to turn and run. The rest of the humans turned and followed. They ran up the shore and scattered in all directions, mainly heading for the distant road. The boats in the bay began to move once more, and their nets were drawn up. Then they quickly left the bay.

Winters Night

She watches the humans scatter and leave. She sighs relived. She howled for Sanoki, the killer whale she had met, to let her know that it was ok to come back now. But she only did this when she were sure all the humans were gone. She looks to the pup Tally and barks for him to come over so she could ask him who he was. She then looks to Tornado. "Are you k?" She asks seeing the rocks might have hurt him.

Charm/Tally (Name Change) Her talons claw the deck of the boat to keep herself from sliding. She stands up and nods. The 1 year old looks at the older huntress a bit stunned. 'Yes, I think so'

Tornado

He nods, "I'm alright, are you?" his eyes turn to Charm then, and then over to Aliyyah and Demon. The young alpha sighed in relief and looked over at the slain humans on the shore, and then to the bay. If orcas could come on the land Tornado thought, then humans wouldn't dare to bother with them.

Tornado threw his crimson stained muzzle back and began a howl; a song in triumph over the humans.

Winters Night

She looked to Charm and then the others also and then she joined Tornados triumph over the humans. She tilted her maw back and sung her tune into the morning sky.

Charm

She looks towards land which was far away. When Winter pushed the buttons it sent the boat forward. 'Um how do we get back?'

Winters Night

She soon stops howling and looks over to Charm. She calls to her to come over.

Charm>

She looks at the huntress, not sure if she wanted to talk to anybody right yet. Minx slowly strides forward.

Winters Night

She had a question to ask Charm. "Hi I am Winters Night. Who are you?" She asked in a friendly tone.

Charm

She looked at her. 'My name's Charm'

Winters Night

She smiles and wags her tail. "Its nice to meet you. Have you met the orcas yet?" She asks curiously.

Charm

She nods. 'One of them' She sat 'pon her hackles.

Winters Night

She smiles. "That's cool. They are all really friendly. So where do you live?" She asked curiously wondering which pack Charm lived in if any.

Charm

'I don’t live in a pack. I use to live with my brother, Hurricane but he died.'

Winters Night

She nods sadly. "Oh I'm sorry to here that. Perhaps you could live in Tornado's pack with us if you want. I’m sure he wouldn't mind." She says.

Aliyyah

she smiles and nods, yes perhaps you could...

Winters Night

She smiles and pads by Aliyyah's side and sits waiting for the pups answer and what Tornado would say.

Aliyyah

she smiles to and looks at Tornado...

Orcas

After a while, Sanoki led her pod back into the bay. She came close to shore until one-third of her body was out of the water. Her large, glossy eyes scanned over the canines, "Thanks again for the

help. The humans have gone now, hopefully for a long time. Is there anyway my pod can repay you?"

Winters Night

She sees the orcas and smiles and pads over to them happily. "Hi I’m glad your ok. Hey maybe can you show me the ocean by me riding on one of your backs... if its not to much trouble." She says happily as her tail wags with excitement. She wanted to see whets beyond the land and out on the ocean.

*Orcas*

Sanoki nodded, "Of course; maybe we can even show you a much larger whale than ourselves." The huge mammal called to the rest of her pod, and three other orcas came up onto the shore as far as they could without getting beached. "Your whole pack can come; we will swim slow so you won't fall off."

Winters Night

She yips excitedly. "Thanks Sanoki and the rest of you!" She chimed. She swam and got onto one of the three whales.

Tornado

Tornado was a bit timid at first, but shrugged off that fear. He had to be brave to be an alpha, so the young wolf waded into the water and leapt up onto the back of an orca. He scanned the beach with his light yellow eyes to find Aliyyah, "There is plenty of room for you here!" he barked lightly. He was surprised at how the orca's skin felt against his sensitive paws. He noted to be careful about not scratching the orca with his claws.

Aliyyah

the wolfess swims out and gets onto one of the orcas in the water. she smiles a Tornado happily...

*Orcas*

The three orcas use their flippers and powerful tails to help scoot back into the deeper waters. One orca remains behind to wait and see if the wolf Demon would want to ride as well.

Following and surrounding the three orcas with the wolves on them were many other killer whales. Some were young and did flips up in the air to show off.

First, Sanoki led her pod half a mile out from the bay, and down the shoreline. Suddenly, the water below them seemed very colorful. "These are the corral reefs." Sanoki announced, "Many colorful creatures live in the waters around this area, and boats don't often come here. The water is always so clear." She waited there so the wolves could have a good look at the corral that no other wolves have ever seen before.

Winters Night

She looks happily. She looks at the many different sights in the clear water. "Would it be okay to jump in to get a better look?" She asked. She was a good swimmer so wasn’t to worried.

Aliyyah

"It is a beautiful sight" she smiles

*Orcas*

"Be careful of currents when and sharp corral when you go in." Sanoki advised to Winters Night, "Usually the water is pretty calm right here though. And you might be able to see some of the Nurse Sharks down there, or even some rays."

Winters Night

She nods excitedly. "Ok I will be right up." She said. She took a deep breath and dove under the water seeing the nurse sharks and a few rays. She was astonished by the magnificent colors. She saw a piece of coral near by that must have fallen off so she opened her maw and snatched it up and quickly closed her mouth with the corral inside so water wouldn’t fill her lungs. She swam to the surface and climbed back onto the orca and dropped the coral. "Wow its neat down there. I found this piece of coral just lying there. It must have fell off. It’s very pretty. Doesn’t taste so well though." She says looking at the coral she had.

Aliyyah

oh yes that is beautiful! the alpha smiles and looks at hr mate Tornado...

Tornado

Tornado looked down through the clear waters and saw all the creatures he had never seen before. His gaze turned towards his mate, and the alpha smiled, "This place is amazing, don't you think? We are the first wolves to ever see this."

Aliyyah

she smiles..."it is beautiful" she then thanks about jumping in like Winters Night, "Tornado, would you like to go down there with me?" she smiles...

Tornado

The smile is returned, and Tornado nods, "Sure!" the young alpha leaps from the back of the orca and lands in the clear water. Instantly, he notices how salty the water tastes to his tongue. It had smelled salty, but he had assumed it tasted like any normal water. Wrinkling his nose slightly, and swam a bit around the reef while looking at all the odd creatures. "Do you orcas actually drink this water?" he asks curiously.

Aliyyah

she jumps in also and tastes the water..she had never tasted something so salty. she looks around and see a ray, "look Tornado!" she motions to the ray under the water...

Winters Night

She leaps back in leaving the corral on the orcas back so she wouldn’t loose it. This time she tries to swim deeper then before.

*Orcas*

One of the orcas speaks to the wolves, "Be careful of those rays. Not even we will dare get near them; they have poison on their tails."

Sanoki dove underwater and watched how the wolves swam. It seemed so odd to see their legs kick out like that, and their heads stay above the water for most of the time. She soon came back to the surface and spoke, "When you are done exploring here, I have a very interesting thing to show you."

Winters Night

She smiles and grabs one more piece of fallen coral though it was a different color. She climbs back onto the whales back and lays the other piece of coral down. She shakes her fur dry and waits. "Ok." She says happily as she wags her tail.

Tornado

He looks down at the ray, amazed. Things in the water moved so differently than things on the land. They were also shaped so different, and had many colors. Tornado looked over at his mate, "I wonder what else they're going to show us!" The young alpha swam back over to his orca and scrambled on its back. Tornado shook his fur and waited to see where else they would go.

Aliyyah

she also swam back to the orca and got on its back...

*Orcas*

Once the three wolves had gotten back on the orcas, the large mammals began to swim again. As the breathed, great spouts of 'water' came up from the holes in the back. Now and then the three orcas with the wolves on them would slide under water enough so that only the shoulders and backs of the wolves remained above the water.

After a while of swimming, the whales came to a small cove with jagged rocks everywhere in the water, and vertical cliff surrounding the coastline. They killer whales slowed down and stopped when they came near a large ship. The ship was flipped upside down, so that part of the bottom stuck out of the water. It was a very long ship, and most of it was underwater. Deep gashes marked the sides and bottom of the large vessel.

"We found this a while ago. It seems that the thing ran into these rocks and just... died." the orcas thought of the ships as living things that were controlled by humans. "It was interesting to watch it; they die so oddly."

Winters Night

She hopped of the orca and swam to the ship. "Wow. It looks like it had a bad crash! I wonder whets inside." She says. She looks to the orcas. "Ill be right back!" And she swims to the ship and hops aboard and searches it.

Tornado

The young alpha also leaps from the orcas and into the water to swim to the ship. He pads lightly over the up side down ship, and sniffs at a few dried out barnacles on the haul. Through a gash in the boat's side, Tornado entered the boat and began to explore it. With much of it underwater, there wasn't allot of area to explore, and everything was upside-down, so he was walking along the ceiling and slipping over the pipes. Yet it was highly interesting.

Aliyyah

she jumped into the water and went after her mate...going inside the boat sniffing around, "there is a lot of weird stuff around in here" she says..pointing with her nose at a fork that had me jammed into the wall...

*Orcas*

The orcas swam closer to the ship, and one older whale pressed his snout against the side of the half-sunken vessel. Using his sonar, he found that the ship had empty space in it. But he was frustrated that he couldn't see into it. "What does it look like in there?"

Two younger orcas rammed the side of the ship, to see what would happen. The large ship creaked, and moved very slightly. Although it was very large, it wasn't stable against the rocks.

Winters Night

She searched the ship. "Well there's allot of strange human things in here like a table and chairs. There's old pictures. There's this weird piece of paper and a few keys that look like skulls. Its dark and damp." She says. She then finds a large box. She rammed into it and it opened. There was shiny pieces of gold but not many. "Wow!" She exclaimed and dragged the box p the rickety stairs on board since it was small. "It looks like human treasure!" She dragged it to where everyone and the orcas could see. "I have an idea. What if we knocked this thing into the water to see if it could float. You can do that right?" She asked the orcas. "And if it sinks you can break it under water to see inside." She says. She looks to Tornado and Aliyyah. "What do you guys think?" She asks questioningly and curiously.

*Orcas*

The orcas were thrilled with this prospect, "Ah, that sounds like a good idea! I'd love to see the inside of the ship. And I've heard stories from long ago about that shiny metal you've found." chimes one orca, "Long ago, as I was told, humans attacked each other's ships and sometimes when ships sank we found that shiny stuff inside them."

Aliyyah

she smiles.."yeah that is a good idea, Tornado what do you think?"

Tornado

He nods, smiling back to his mate, "That does sound like a good idea." The alpha glances around, then sprints across the ship to reach some rocks, and hops onto them. Tornado beckons the rest of his pack to follow, so the orcas can try to get the ship into the water.

Aliyyah

she runs after him and sits beside him waiting for Winter's Night...

Winters Night

She runs beside her alphas and waits patiently.

*Orcas*

Once the wolves were off of the ship, the orcas swam towards the large vessel. They rammed it, and shoved against the haul with all their strength. The ship lurched and creaked loudly, and the orcas shoved against it harder. The vessel shifted over the rocks more, and slowly lost balance over the rocks. Slowly at first, and then faster, the large ship leaned and crashed down into the water. The resulting wave swept up and over the wolves. The ship sank deep under the water, and some things like wooden chairs and light objects floated up to the surface. The orcas began to investigate these things, as well as swimming down to the ship to check it out.

Aliyyah

the wave swept over her bodice and pulled her into the water. she swam back to the rock and shook herself off..she giggles quietly.

*Orcas*

One orca looked up into the sky suddenly. Clouds were beginning to gather, and the wind was picking up. With a loud, long whistle, the orca turned to the wolves, "Perhaps we should get you back to the land! In storms, the sea is very dangerous!"

Winters Night

She nods and holds some gold coins in her mouth that she had taken before the ship had fallen. She swims to an orca and gets ready to go. She waits for the others. She makes sure the coral doesn’t fall as she makes sure it doesn’t fall with her paws.

Aliyyah

she nudged Tornado to fallow her before jumping into the water and getting on an Orca..

Tornado

Tornado leapt into the water and swam towards on orca and climbed onto its back.

*Orcas*

The orcas swam quickly along the sheer rock walls until the came at last to Orca Bay once more. Slowly, the huge mammals swam to the shore to let the wolves off. By now, the waters had grown dark like the sky, and the waves were getting rough.

Winters Night

She nods thankfully to the orcas. "Thanks!" She yipped. She grabbed the coral and coins in her mouth and padded back to the terrain knowing Tornado and Aliyyah would probably soon follow also.

Aliyyah

she also says thanks before getting of and waiting for Tornado..

Tornado

Tornado nodded back to his orca friends and bade them thanks before turning back in the direction of his territory. After smiling to his mate, Tornado made his way back to their territory.

Tally

The ebony huntress leaped onto a large rock and lay down. Dial looks down at the raging water.
