Manov

Manov walked in very slowly towards the alleys, his pelt wasn't as thick as it should be, he was mostly skin and bones. Ever since he and his small group left, he hadn't really been eating healthy. Relying on his memory, he stagered towards the building where Cortinarri was, he left out a small bark for her, sayin he was there. Lifting his head he looked about for the alley pack, he didn't want any trouble, just for his mate, they already proved that they were stronger.

Aaka

Sge growled at him as she saw Manov. "Is there something I can help you with?" she said in a dangerous voice. She hadnt seen Cortinarri in forever. She wasnt even sure if she was still alive. She didnt think she had gotten food so she had probably died or was on the brink of death

Manov

Manov coiled back, but kept standing, his tail not raised, he wasnt in a threatning stance. His orbs looked at her, pain and hurt was the only thing in them. "Aaka, I was Cortinarri, we have been through enough and you have proven yourself. Please just let me take her away." Once he finished he sat down, tail rapped around his hind legs, ears layed back slightly. For once it didn't pain him to do this, enough was enough.

Aaka

She paused and said softly the fury leaving her eyes "I dont know which building shes in. If you would like you can come to the Silver Glades with me. We will wait for the Shadow Lurkers to come back. You-if Cortinarri would like-can come and live with me. Theres a catch but its onlythe usual. Dont attack me." she smiled warmly the first time she had ever smiled in front of Manov

Manov

He nodded to her. "Thank-you, but I have a home, I live with Ghost and whats left of our family, there is only 4 of us left, everyone died or was killed." Slowly he stood and looked about, a little unsure of going to Aaka's.. his past home. But he moved forward to follow her.

Yersinia

The small hybrid, omega to the Shadow Lurkers, left the abandonded building after picking up the scent of Manov. She, along with Skeil and her brother Kenyon, were on guard over Cortinarri.

By the time she reached them, they had left already and Yersinia went back the basement to check on the captive and see if she was still alive.

Cortinarri

Cortinarri didn't lift her head as Yersinia came in. Cold had kept back infection to a certain point, but it was slowly creeping into her blood now, or what was left of blood in her body. Her hollow, bloodshot eyes rolled towards the hybrid but Cortinarri made no other movement. Her body was spent. Her ankle was swollen and managled and the countless other wounds over her body had all but ceased to burn with pain at this point. She was on her last breaths now.
But wolvish instinct and tenacity kept her alive this long. She didn't want to die in the moldy confines of a basement. She wanted to see Manov again and to be free, if only it were for a short time longer. Her time was running fast away.

Skeil, Ankh, & Yersinia

Ankh came running back to the house and stood tall, with his small form, in front of the doorway. "Aaka calls! Skeil, we have to do. Yersinia and Kenyon; stay back and guard her." The ebony hybrid turned away, heading for the Silver Glades.

Skeil was up in a flash and followed after him without question.

Yersinia slumped to the ground. She didn't like fighting anyways. But she felt so guilty staying her with Cortinarri. "You... uh, hungry? I could get you some food perhaps..." she glanced around uncertainly for Kenyon.

Manov

The brute walked in, shaking from weakness, he followed the scents of the other wolfs and dogs to where he found the house again. Slowly he moved towards the doors to find his mate.

Kenyon & Pirqua

Pirqua was nesting on the top of a nearby building with three eggs. It was rather early in the year to be laying eggs, but then again, she didn't exactly live a 'normal' falcon life. Quickly spotting Manov with her keen sight, she gave a cry to warn her friends.

Kenyon rushed out of the basement door with his eyes wide and anxious. He was the largest of the Shadow Lurkers, but more like a teddy-bear than anything. He was the least inclined to fight. Knowing Manov as an enemy, the dark gray hybrid stood tensely with his hackles up. But his voice didn't hold a hint of aggression, "What do you want? Did you... come alone?" he glanced about nervously, expecting a horde of wolves or cats or what-not to come tear down apon him at any moment.

Manov

He crouched back, showing that he was not here to harm anyone. "Yes I came alone. Aaka told me to come and say I could see Cortinarri, to take her for help." His orbs looked past him and down the stairs, looking for her, his mate. Glanceing back at Kanyon, he stepped forwards.

Hydras, Narsia, Bullet, & Yersinia

Yersinia stepped forth as well, being dwarfed by her brother and looking more collie-like. As an omega, she wasn't the bravest and was very uncertain about what to say to Manov's request. "We have orders to guard her until..." she was cut off by another voice.

Hydras came sprinting in, fresh blood still lingering on her muzzle after their pack's successful hunt. Snarling with authority, she rushed upon Manov while holding herself high and glaring him down. "What is going on here?" she demanded, curious by the scent he carried of Aaka. Bullet and Narsia stood in a semi-circle around Manov, watching the wolf eagerly.

Yersinia, cringing to the ground with her ears back, spoke up meekly, "He has Aaka's permission to take Cortinarri for help."

Hydras narrowed her eyes, looking from her neice to Manov. Well, they had Cortinarri because she was Aaka's enemy, not really theirs in the first place. Had she been one from the Alley pack, Hydras would have flat out denied and driven Manov away. But if Aaka was finished with these two, Hydras had no purpose in keeping them here. "Alright, take her and go." she said at last, sounding some impatience in her voice.

Instantly, Bullet and Narsia took a few steps back a relaxed. No fighting, then.

Manov

He backed off when Hydras came running out at him. "Thank-you." Was all he said to them, keeping his body low he nodded to Hydras. As he came to the door he slowly walked down the stairs to his mate and emitted a small bark. "Cortinarri? Are you there?" He ask quietly. His orbs strained to see threw the darkness, searching for her. Auds back against his head and banner laying low, he saw her, then moved slowly towards her body and emitted a small whimper.

Cortinarri

The sight of her mate brought forth a sudden surge of energy, although it was weak at best. The wolfess lifted her head up and flicked a tongue out to lick her mate's muzzle. The muscles of her legs twitched, but she could not rise. "Manov..." she whispered in a hoarse voice, looking at him through the deep darkness, hoping she was not dreaming this up in some dilerious state.

Manov

Manov's maw opened and licked her face, letting her know this was not a dream. Orbs looked back towards the door then back at her. His limbs brought him around behind her and layed down, resting his head by her paws. "I'm here." He said in a loving tone. Hopefully this wouldn't be the last of their lives.

Cortinarri

She gave a light sigh and let her head fall back to the cold cement of the basement. She wanted to speak, to tell him things, but she couldn't. Her energy was spent. She tried again to stand but her legs wouldn't do more than move just the slightest bit. Cortinarri let her head tilt to the side slightly and she managed to speak again, "I'm so tired... but, I.. I don't want to be here." She didn't think her life was going to go on much longer, but anything was possible. It would take something of a miracle to save her, and she'd fight all the way. But staying in these damp confines wasn't helping her any now.

Manov*Ridged Edge

Manov nodded and licked her once more then stood up. HIs pillers brought him towards the door and looked about then, emitted a call for his friend to help carry Cortinarri. Then he turned and walked back to her, nudged her to keep her awake.

Edge stalked in, angered, he wanted to hunt, not help. As he walked into the building he suddered, it was damp and dark, he didnt want to stay here surounded by the hated. He walked over to Cortinarri and lowered his bodice to the ground, as far as it could go, he waitied for her to mount his back to carry her out. His large cougar body could carry her and a couple pups if the need be.

Kachina

Kachina padded to the alley. She knew the rightful leader of the silver glades was here and she'd do anyhting to help her that is if Cortinarri wanted her help. Kachina saw up head and she padded uto her with a simle of hope. She stood before all who was there. "Cortinarri" she called out giving them the idea of her disire there.

Cortinarri

Cortinarri struggled once more, putting forth her upmost effort until she managed, somehow, to drag her wasted body over Ridged Edge's back. Once there, she slump down in complete exhaustion, but there was a glimmer of hope on her face now, as gaunt and worn as it looked. "Thank you." she whispered, looking to Manov with sincere eyes. Then her ears perked up to the sound of a stranger and her glazed orbs rolled to the side as she looked in confusion at Kachina. She wanted to speak again, asking who this fae was, but she had to save her energy if she planned to survive.

Hydras, Narsia, Bullet, & Yersinia

Hydras gave a heavy huff, growing very aggitated with the situation. "This isn't some parade, just take her and leave." she didn't know Kachina, but the wolfess carried the scent of Aaka, so Hydras calmed slightly, "Hey, you." she spoke out to get Kachina's attention, "Are you an ally of Aaka's?" any friend of Aaka's was, for the most part, an ally to the Shadow Lurkers.

Narsia and Bullet, brother and sister to Hydras, were sitting nearby still, waiting for the others to leave. Bullet was eager to check out Pirqua's nest and see if her eggs had hatched yet.

Yersinia hung back, staying in the shadows of the basement.

Kachina

Kachina smiled and dipped her maw respectfuly. "yes, I'm a friend of Aaka's helping a fight Cortinarri is wanted at the silver glades and I've been requested to take her." kachina said strongly with force.

Hydras, Narsia, Bullet, & Yersinia

"Hmph, I friend? I'd assume she's either wanting to finish her off or something, knowing Aaka." Hydras replied shortly, not knowing what was really going on at the moment. "Well hurry up and take her then." Hydras raised her tail slightly against Kachina's forceful voice, just stating her authority in the Alleys.

Narsia and Bullet came forward now, "We can help you if you wish." Bullet hung his head slightly, really wanting to go see Pirqua. But he had to do what ever his sister's bade.

Kachina

Kachina dipped her maw once more with respect "thanks for the offer of help but haveing others come may interfear with whats going on over there I think Aaka would prefer me to take her to the silver Glades, seeing how weak she is I can handle her, thanks again for offer though much appercaite must hurry Aaka has no pateints" Kachina stated and padded tward the fae and pushing her to her paws, then garbbing her scruff to restrian her to see that she doesn't escape then turns and leads the fae Aaka had requested to The silver Glades.

Manov*Ridged Edge

Manov glared over at Kachina, and snarled. "You are no friend of Aaka! You are fighting her for your damn pup! Leave us now!" He snapped at Kachina's muzzle and growled.

Edge looked at the vix then Manov and slowly went around them both, keeping Manov inbetween the both of them, then he turned and ran out towards the lake.

Kachina

Kachina smiled and ran towards Edge and jumped beside him raming his side so the fae would slide on her back and she bolted off. "got that right, but now I'm after something much more then my pup. To redeem the pack to it's rightful leader!" she called out running as fast as she could without dropping the fae.

frost

Frost was Kachina's friend a tough snow leapord. He ran up to Kachina just about to leave the alley He grabbed the fae for he could go farther and faster with her and Kachina could stall.

Hydras, Narsia, Bullet, & Yersinia

Hearing a howl from Ankh, the four quickly raced off for the Silver Glades territory with Hydras pushing the lead. With no prisoners to guard, they didn't worry about leaving their terra unattended for the time being.

Manov*Ridged Edge

Manov snarled and ran off after her. Edge chased after.
