Jena,Ruby

Jena padded along silently beside her sister.Her tail was still flicking nervously.Her eyes were full of fear.She knew that they could die.

Ruby padded along face looking at the ground.She seemed to be ignoring everything,but that wasn't true.She was thinking.Thinking about what had all been said back at the Tall Grass Prarie.She didn't rember betraying them.Was it when she said Tainted after they asked who she was alligned with.

Tainted; Chinue

Chinue passed the tigers, stopping in front of Tainted. "They were conversing with the enemy. They even followed him to his territory. They were playing with him. And do you know what else? They told those beasts that she is allied to you. Kalaber knows you, and for all I know he's spread it all over the place." She hissed. "I may be wrong, but I do not remember you giving them permission to leave." The snake bowed and backed off.

Tainted stalked forward. "I'm not sure you understand the seriousness of this situation. You went out without permission. You told the enemy of your ties with me and in turn with the Haunters. You followed the enemy to his territory and played with him." She stood high and stiff as an alpha would. "That is enough to count you as traitors. And that is enough to have you executed. Give me a reason why I shouldn't have you killed."

Jena,Ruby

Jena kept quiet not saying anything.She was scared now.She looked at her sister.

Ruby kept quiet until Tainted finished speaking.She had to say it.She knew that her sister might be mad at her,but she had to say it."Cause we have news.The enemys planning on attacking.Their training for a battle,"she said.She showed no fear in her eyes when she said this.Tainted would be suspicious if she did.Silently she waited for an answer.

Tainted

Tainted narrowed her eyes. "I already know this. Papyrus has done the honor of telling me. The difference between her and you is that you did not have permission to leave the territory, yet Papyrus did. You were told to stay here, yet you disobeyed. Many pack leaders would punish that crime with death." She growled. "Now give me a real reason why I should let you live."

Jena,Ruby

Jena stopped flicking her tail.Taking a silent deep breath she looked at Tainted."Incase you need fighters if someone attacked,thats the only thing i can think of,"she saidSilent she waited.

Ruby glanced at her sister than back at Tainted."Someone to protect the group,"she said softly.She could understand if Tainted never trusted them again.

Tainted

Tainted shook her head. "There are plenty of warriors to protect the group. How can I trust that you will protect us when you have committed the crime of betrayal?" The hybrid replied.

Jena,Ruby

Jena looked at her sister again.She couldn't answer this question.

Ruby thought for a few seconds."If your going to the war then you can test us their,"she said.Her light colored eyes came alivwe on fire when she said this.Her voice grew a bit harsh as well.

Tainted

Tainted shook her head. "No, I cannot trust you in war either. For all I know, you will turn away again and my pack will face the consequences of your actions. You are traitors. I cannot trust you. For now, you will stay here. You will not leave the territory, you will not participate in pack activities, and you will not converse with outsiders. Hopefully you have not destroyed all of our plans." She replied bluntly.

Jena,Ruby

Jena nodded her head.Her tail on the ground.She felt horrible.Is this how you feel when you think your worthless she thought.Yes came the answer.

Ruby bowed her head."As you wish,"she said.Her light blue eyes burned more.Would they ever be trusted again she thought.

Suenga

"What you did could've reuined everything, Jena," He looked at Jena, "Ruby," He looked at the other sister. When she mentioned the battle, he snorted. "Every enemy is training to battle us." He added, eyes narrowed. Suenga's fur bristled as he looked at them. Foolish bitches. Suenga thought. He waited for Tainted to finish, before deciding to step forward. "Next time, think before you go off to play."

Jena,Ruby

Jena ears went to the back of her head when Suenga spoke up for the first time.Why did he have to call my name first she thought.True she was equaly to blame but that was the way their mother had punished them.Her name always first.Her getting the most blame.It irritated her so.Their mother had thought her the weakess.

Ruby dipped her head to Suenga."We understand and were sorry,"she said.She knew what was going on in her sisters head.Silent she flicked her tail on her sisters nose yet again.She was silently bringing her sister's mind to the prescent.

Tainted

Tainted calmed down a bit when Suenga arrived. The fur on her back slowly laid flat again and her muscles relaxed. "Hopefully, your foolish actions have not ruined all of our plans." She said before walking back toward Suenga. "I think we should have pups." She said quietly, though boldly.

Suenga

Suenga smiled, shivering. "If your ready, I am." Suenga replied softly, excitement in his voice. He looked at Jena and Ruby, half-heartedly guilty. They disobeyed, they will suffer. "I've said this before, Tainted, and I'll say this again. I love you." He closed his eyes and sighed happily.

Jena,Ruby

Jena glanced at her sister silently.She backed up to give Tainted and Suenga some privacy a bit.She wasn't sure if they were aloud to go or not.

Ruby copied her sister and backed up.Laying down she half closed her eyes as she waited for an order.Her ears pricked waiting silently.

Bamboo

Bamboo, a massive Masai Giraffe, returned from the forest after grazing on what little foliage she could find. She stopped in from of Jena and Ruby, having heard what happened. "So I heard that you almost ruined our plan." She said dully.

Jena,Ruby

Jena crounched in fear.Did everone now she thought.She wondered if the girraff would attack.

Ruby looked at Bamboo."Yes,"she said just as dully.

Bamboo

Bamboo stepped forward. "Hopefully, Tainted will have mercy on you." She taunted.

Jena,Ruby

Jena said nothing.She ignored Bamboo.

Ruby narrowed her eyes."That would be for Tainted to decide,don't you think,"she said.She had no clue who Bamboo was and wished that the giraff would mind its own buisness.

Bamboo

This was Bamboo's business. She had been put in charge of the tigers while Tainted was away. "Watch it, kitty. I'm in charge of you. I can decide to kill you right here. I'm following orders from Tainted herself. So if you do anything stupid, you die." She said impatiently.

Jena,Ruby

Jena narrowed her eyes at Bamboo.She didn't like the way she was treating her sister.She scooted closer to her sister incase their be a fight.

Ruby scrowled.She turned her head and ignored Bamboo.If she did that then maybe she survive.She was more likely to go off though.

Tainted; Bamboo

Bamboo was about to strike out at the tigers when Tainted arrived.

Tainted growled at the tigers. "You want to be warriors, don't you? Do you want to see the downfall of he menace known as the Shadow Lurkers?" She barked. "The first step is to follow orders. From no on, you will listen to and fulfill every order from your superiors and you will treat your superiors with respect. Is that clear?" She paced in front of the delinquet tigers, the fur rising on her back. "Bamboo is superior to you. You are under her. You will treat her with respect or you will face the consequences. We will lose the war if we do not have respect for one another."

Bamboo stood submissively beside the small hybrid.

Jena,Ruby

Jena watched as Tainted appeared."Yes Tainted,"she said acknowleging her.She didn't like it but she'll obey orders.

Ruby sighed,but nodded her head.She was just retorting her anger at Bamboo when she shouldn't of been."Sorry Bamboo,"she said.She attempted to smile so Bamboo would forgive her.She was just angry.

Tainted

Tainted stopped and looked at the sisters. "Don't let it happen again." She growled.

Bamboo snorted. "You two are like disobedient children. You need to learn to follow orders. We're warriors here." She added.

Jena,Ruby

Jena sighed this time."Yes tainted,"she said again.She had a smile on her face though.

Ruby nodded her head."Yes Bamboo,"she said to her.She didn't understand what warriors were though.Were they people that killed others all the time.People that lived in harmony.They certaintly weren't in harmony,and she doubted she could just kill anyone.

Jena,Ruby

Jena started to clean herself silently.She was nervous,but said nothing.

Ruby stretched.She didn't show fear or sympthy.
