Hydras

The alpha padded over to the barn under the cover of night. She traveled downwind and was careful to be a soundless as possible. The hybrid sat down near the barn and waited for the rest of her pack. Her eyes turned to the horizon, which was still dark. She would have her pack wait until dawn before they would search for Aidan.

Ninaki

The hybrid pads in and lays down a few feet from his alpha. He lets his eyes close to rest and wait until Hydras was ready to search for Aidan. But always, his ears were alert for any sound that could warn of danger.

Kiarra

She walked up slowly behind Hydras and Ninaki. She was carefull to stay downwind. She sat alittle ways away from Hydras and closed her eyes, but was still alert...

Demon

He enters as well. He was sure to stay within the shadows and not let any of the animals hear him and start makeing a racket. He slips right beside Hydras and lyes down in wait.

Hydras

After dozing on and off through the night, Hydras was glad to see the light of dawn. Her pack was fully fed and rested now, and if they acted quick, they may be able to catch the ranch pets off guard and retrieve Aidan without much conflic. Hydras didn't know that Shimmer, Timber, Aidan, and Ivy had already gotten up and left. Hydras stood up and nudged the rest of her pack members to wake them up if they weren't already awake. "I don't pick up Aidan's scent here, so I assume the human took him to their house." she announced quietly. "We'll go there and I'll try to grab Aidan. If the pets or human pose any trouble, the rest of you can easily fend them off." She headed silently for the Ranch.

Demon

He nods and follows.

Rollin & Abigale

The two collies had stayed in the barn, making sure no wolves or dogs came to attack anything. They heard Hydras, Demon, and Kiarra get up and leave in the morning. Swiftly, the two circled around the barn to find Ninaki. Growling, Rollin quickly circled infront of Ninaki while Abigale stood behind him. "Your pack has been here before, to kill chickens and attack our cattle." Rollin said, narrowing his eyes.

Ninaki

Ninaki was just about to sprint off after his alphas when his path was suddenly blocked by Rollin. Narrowing his head, the hybrid snarled in reply, "So what if it was! We're here now to retreive my pup whom your master stole from us! Now get out of my way!" His voice deepened with rage at the last sentence and he took a bold step forward.

Rollin & Abigale

Rollin and Abigale exchanged confused glances before Rollin continued to speak, "We don't have any pup of yours, so don't lie to us! Now how many pack members are here?"

Abigale began to snarl, just warning Ninaki that she was behind him and hopefully detere him from attack Rollin.

Ninaki

His fangs were bared more now, "Lie?!? You are the ones who aren't telling the truth! Your human stole my pup, and I wont leave until I get him back!" he glared straight into Rollin's eyes, "As for my pack, I'll tell you there's more than enough to handle all the pets and humans here, so don't bother calling anyone to attack."

Abigale & Rollin

The pair exchanged glances for a second time. Rollin lifted his head slightly, "I take that as a direct threat to my masters and family, as well as my territory...."

No sooner had he said that when Abigale sprung towards Ninaki. She moved slightly to the side and prepared to bring her front legs down across his back and her fangs down over the back of his neck.

Rollin moved at the same time, rushing at Ninaki's face while snapping his fangs. He didn't mean to bite the hybrid though; just distract him.

Ninaki

His ears told him that Abigale was making a move. But with Rollin rushing straight at him, Ninaki couldn't turn and fend himself from Abigale and avoid Rollin at the same time. Recoiling from the male collie, Ninaki sprung to the side and made a swift dash to some nearby trees. There he gave a deep-throated howl to the pair. He wasn't about to leave, but he knew it wasn't wise to take on two collies out in the open like that.

Rollin & Abigale

Rollin gave a series of bark-howls in reply to Ninaki. A warning as well as a taunt to the hybrid.

Abigale stood beside her mate and added her own words, "Either leave here or we'll have to hunt you out! It will be your death if you stay."

Ninaki

He gave a brisk howl again in reply to Rollin and Abigale, "It will be your lives before mine, I guarantee! I won't leave without my pup, so you might as well let me through." Ninaki watched them from the relitive safety of his hiding spot. He could try to run past him, but he knew collies were very swift. He would bide his time still.

Abigale & Rollin

Abigale was growing impatient very fast. She could faintly hear the snarls from the Ranch house. "It sounds like fighting has subsided at the house anyway. I'd say they've reached a compromise or killed your friends. Now, do we have to flush you from hiding?"

Rollin advanced a few steps to emphasize his mate's speech. "It's two verse one, wolf. Might be wise to back down." Still, he didn't want to enter the thick veggitation where Ninaki was hiding. Being a collie, his great speed; the key point in his fights, would be hindered badly.

Ninaki

He howled out loudly, calling for his pack to see just where they were. If they were leaving, then he was just wasting his time here. "Like I said, I won't leave without my son! If my pack has him safely from your wretched human-master, then I'll leave. But until then, you might as well just sit back and wait."

Demon

He enters but sticks to the surrounding shadows. He snarls silently at Abigales comment and suddenly darts between the two collies and lashes out at their faces with his back legs befor darting over to Ninaki. "Foolish pets. Youve got it wrong for one of your own almost died. I think his name was Cronus but your lucky I soared his life." He snarls. He looks to Ninaki. "Aidan is safely back with the pack now. I think we should get going. And as for you..." He said looking to the pets. "...It isnt wise to mess woth us so back off." He finished snarling. He waits for Ninaki to reply.

Ninaki

"Good." he exclaimed with relief, then couldn't help but throw one last insult to the collies, "Our pack has defeated wild dog and wolf packs before, so it would be a breeze to take all of you down." Not wanting to stay any longer though, Ninaki turned and headed for Pike's Lake.

Rollin & Abigale

They were swift enough to avoid Demon's attack, and even slashed out at him. But they didn't follow them into the thick brush where their fighting would be harder. "You're all talk! You're pack would be no match against my masters' guns." Rollin replied.

Demon

He smirked. "I have taken on humans with guns befor so watch it." He snarls and then runs off after Ninaki.

Rollin & Abigale

The two watched the last of the pack leave. But as always, the feared a counter attack by the pack, so they returned to the Barn once more to watch out for furhter attacks.
