Neil/Aiken/Catriona/Lillian/Bianca

With the rest of the pack at Ethan's house, the four of Lupe's pups that stayed thought they'd have some fun. Neil jumped up onto the couch and looked down at his siblings. "I think we should play a game." He said. The other three stopped what they were doing and looked up at him. "Yeah? What game?" Aiken asked curiously. Neil smiled and wagged his tail. "Wolf! We have to claim territories and defend them against each other. We'll have two teams - a brother and sister on each." He explained. Aiken jumped up next to his brother. "Good. Catriona's on my team!" He barked, running off to claim his 'territory.' Catriona giggled and followed him. Neil shrugged. "Then I get Lillian. Come on, Lil. Let's go find our territory." The last two ran off in the opposite direction.

Aiken and Catriona ran into the kitchen. "I claim this territory!" Aiken shouted, trying to sound like the wild wolves his mother had told him about.

Neil and Lillian, however, went farther down the hallway, towards the bedrooms. They kept their voices low as they spoke to each other. "Look. This is Bonnie's room." Neil said, peering through the crack in his master's doorway. Lillian shook her head. "We can't go in there. Mama said so." She whispered back. Neil looked back at his sister. "We'll just go in for a second, then come out." He replied. Lillian stayed where she was as Neil stepped into the bedroom. "Cool, Lil! Come see this!" He shouted. Lillian burst through the doorway. "What? What did you find?" She said, looking around. Neil pointed to a glass cage in the corner of the room. "Look! It's a see-through box and it's got a light on top! What do you think is inside?" The male said excitedly. Lillian stepped closer to get a better look. "Um...some mulch...a flat rock...some leafy stuff and a bowl." She replied, looking at all she could see. Neil laughed. "No, you silly! Look! It has a water bowl! Dogs and cats have water bowls. That means a dog or a cat lives in there." He said, pointing out the ceramic bowl. Lillian smiled. "I get it! Dog? Cat? Come out now!" She barked. Much to their surprise, an animal did show itself, but it was not a dog or cat. A white snake peered out from under the flat stone and slithered up to the glass. "Amber told me about you pups. She also said that you were not to come in here." The snake said calmly. "Pleased to meet you. I'm Bianca." Neil's eyes were wide with fear, and Lillian seemed to 'teleport' from the room, yelping. "Aiken! There's a monster! A moster in Bonnie's bedroom!" Neil cried, running out to the kitchen.

The four met in the living room, Neil and Lillian trembling. "A monster? What'd he look like?" Aiken asked. Neil shook his head. "It was a she. A girl monster. It was long and white." He replied shakily. Aiken laughed. "You dummy! There are no girl monsters! Maybe you saw a pillow instead!" He teased. Lillian swatted out at him. "Really! We did see a monster! If you don't believe us, go look for yourself!" The frightened female said. Aiken and Catriona looked at each other, shrugged, and went into the bedroom. It took only a few seconds for the two to come running back. "There is a monster!" Aiken exclaimed. "And it's a girl monster!" The four huddled together, waiting for their mother to return.

Amber/Others

The pack returned and entered the house. Amber, Wolfe and Sean sat down in the living room, while Lupe tended to her pups. "What happened?" She asked. Neil looked up at his mother. "There's a big white monster in Bonnie's room!" He cried. Lupe shook her head. "No, that was the snake. She's Bonnie's pet. She won't hurt you, but she likes to be alone."

The pups, relieved that what they saw was just another pet, went back to playing.

Salsa

The injured female wolf wrapped up on her middle side limped in following the group.She layed down soon after exausted from the treck

Amber/Others

Amber looked at Salsa. "There's a water bowl in the kitchen if you want a drink." She said politely.

Meanwhile, the pups went back into Bonnie's room. They had a plan. They wanted to play with Bianca. Neil and Aiken leapt onto the short shelf next to the tank and lifted the lid open. Catriona and Lillian jumped onto the chair in front of the tank. "See if you can reach up here." Catriona called down to her. Bianca nodded and, with the help of the crafty pups, was freed from the tank. "It's very chilly out here." The white snake said, slithering into the living room. Amber's eyes grew wide. "Bianca?! What are you doing out here?!" She exclaimed. Bianca smiled sweetly. "I'm just exploring is all. I'll be back in my tank before Bonnie gets home." She replied. Amber sighed and shook her head.

Bianca looked over at Salsa. "I've never seen you here. I'm Bianca." She said politely.

Salsa

She nodded to amber and then looked to the snake.I belong to Ethan, Im SalsaShe then got up and limped her way to the water bowl lapped up more then half of it and came back and layed down.This battle was the second she had defended Ethan himself and nearly got her life taken again.

Bianca

Bianca nodded and slithered around the wolf. "Is that the man who's my master's only friend? The one who saved her from the gangsters?" She asked patiently.

Salsa

She nodded but spoke not.Her head going down on her paws.

Bianca/Lupe

Bianca thought for a moment. "My master was attacked by a gang recently. You master saved her. If we would speak to humans, I'd ask you to thank him." She said friendlily.

Lupe looked at the snake and smiled. "If you ever meet him, be extra nice to him, Bianca. I know I will." She replied.
