Koda
Koda led a small group in among the field where the cows were. She closed in towards the fence and crawled underneath so as to not to make even the slightest noise to alert the cows, nor anyone else that maybe watching. She slowly snuck closer, but not too close, she was downwind so the cows would not be able to smell her. She waited for the rest of her hunting party to follow, then they would plan who would hunt, and who would watch the kills, and who would protect the hunters. It would all make sense when she explained it better later on.
Silver Skye
The mix-breed dog mimicked Koda's actions by crawling under the fence. Her nose quivered, picking up the scents of the cattle. She waited silently for the rest of the band to show up.
Revolution
The hunter ran is beside Koda, he waited on the outer side of the fence for everyone, when they were all here, then he will go in and join them.
Ghost & Dakota
Ghost followed behind Silver Skye making sure she was with Koda, she turned back to Dakota. "Stay here, and if it looks like we need help, or one of us sends out a call, come help, or if you smell or see dogs, and/or humans, you let out a call, then come towards the pack, and help us. You do not enter the pasture for no other reason! Got it?!" She didn’t want to show it, but she was scared that Dakota might get hurt, but she wouldn’t let others smell her fear for Dakota on her, she waited for her answer.
Dakota nodded. "I understand Ghost, do not worry, I wont disappoint you." She smiles and sits down, on the look out for humans, every once in awhile, she would getup and walk around making sure no one was coming.
Ghost nodded back to her, then slid under the fence, and crept towards Koda and Silver Skye.
Mekenis
The mix-breed dog slunk over the crisp snow, carefully to keep silent and alert. His floppy black ears were held up as high as they could be, which wasn't much compared to the wolves. Shying from Ghost, he stood to the side of Silver Skye and awaited orders.
Koda
Koda looked around at her group, she began sizing them all up and thinking of where they would be good, and more useful. They only needed three to take down a fully grown cow, and only one to take down a calf. One calf and an adult would be good for the pack along with the sheep. They would feast tonight. She turned around at the rest, she could tell that Ghost didn't want Dakota too near the action, so Koda already had a set place for her. Suddenly she spoke, her voice still low, but so all could hear. Revolution, Ghost you will be with me in taking care of killing the food. Dakota will stay where she is and the meat will be dragged to her for guarding. Mekenis and Silver Sky will be watching the cows. If any of them start, or charge, mostly if they charge. Run at them, leap and bite down, it doesn't have to be hard, on the skin on their muzzle and let your weight onto them. It is very painful and will usually bring down the cow. Ghost, Revolution and I will kill a calf and it's mother and that will be all we need. Any questions? She had set these positions very carefully and she was almost sure that two would not be totally happy with their position, but if that came she would deal with it. She waited a moment, everyone was here so Revolution should be returning soon.
Silver Skye
The young, outspoken dog frowned. She was about to argue with Koda because she wanted to hunt, but she didn't say anything. She was afraid the cattle would hear her and spook. Frustrated she turned gaze to the cows and waited.
Koda
Koda nodded, she could see the slight urge to disagree spelled out across Silver Sky's face, but seeing her recindle it she returned to the rest of the group. She turned around again, crouching low, readying herself to spring. Her mouth leaked with a drool slipping down, she had waited so long to taste the cows meat again, and now she would. She nodded and whispered loud enough for the pack to hear. Now! It was very low though, so the cows would not scare, or spook. Suddenly Koda rushed one of the straying calves. She sprang into the air, a good aim towards it neck. She planned not on landing, and if she connected how she wanted to, its neck would snap. She looked, making sure the mother had not tried to attack yet, but returning to her kill she remember Mekenis and Silver Sky would take care of her is she did. Who knows, if she doesn't reply to the biting on the nose, they would have to kill her...
*Cattle*
The calf doesn't notice her perils until it's too late. The jump was well calculated, and the calf's neck was snapped. And now the rest of the cattle were alarmed and aware of the presence of the pack. One mother rushed at Koda, still thinking her calf was alive. Another one rushed for the rest of the group, trying to scare them off. The rest of the cows right there, which totaled seven in all, began to gather together to form a barricade. Three other calves were standing behind the adults.
Koda
After feeling the delightful feeling of the neck snap her next instinct was to drop it and eat, but that was soon interrupted when Koda's sensitive auds cocked forward to hear the mother racing towards her. This would be their next prize, she would have to take her herself, but wait, she had a plan. Still standing over the calf, jaws and teeth both locked into place she looked to the angle the mother was running. Luckily if Koda found a way to blind her she would run into her companions. It was all set out and Koda gulped, she would have to throw herself onto the cow to let her plan go through. Aiming carefully in between the horns she leapt forth sprawled out across its face. Realizing she had the advantage up here she began to bite menacingly at her head and neck area. She didn't have a very good aim from where she was, but being where she was between its horns there was no way she could be thrown off to either side. As she bit down she tried to find one of the many vital veins that lead through the neck, hoping she would either run into the rest, or that Koda would finally kill her as well.
Ghost & Dakota
The hunteress saw what was happening and ran towards the mother cow, and tried to get her hind leg to throw her off balance, she looked over to Dakota and barked to her to get off the other cows away from the rest of the pack. Dakota ran towards the others cows the were charging, she growled at them, warning them to back off. Ghost shook her head as she caught the cows leg in her mouth, trying to get her away from the dead calf.
Revolution
The hunter entered the pasture smelling the cows, he would still stay back until he needed to attack, but he followed Dakota just in case she might get hurt.
Koda
Koda stayed there, blinding the cow seeing Ghost go in to help her she found that moment would be best. Yelping at the pain in her side as she stood, she jumped off and tumbled to the side, cringing as she fell. She didn't know what had happened, but she had some bruised ribs, and came dangerously close to a fracture when she jumped. She looked back, her timing had been almost perfect and she just hoped that the mother might actually run into the rest..
Dakota
The small hunteress snarled at the cow.
Koda
When Koda had jumped she had felt a searing pain in her side, and could ignore it no longer, it was there. Getting up rather slowly she looked back at the cows and the rest of the pack, not showing any signs that she was hurt, or in pain. She looked over to the cattle, muscles tensing again as she waited to see if what she had planned would work. She didn't think as accurate anymore since Ghost had come in, but she was very grateful she had.
*Cattle*
The beast’s head shook slightly from side to side as her vision was completely blinded by the wolf atop her. Tail flicked about behind her in the confusion. Due to the weight now on her upper half as she charged forward she seemed to trip, falling onto her knees. It was at that moment that Ghost grabbed her leg and Koda tumbled off, head fell back giving a bovine groan quickly pulling herself back on all four feet. The wolf had caught her hind leg and that foot was raised up and jerked about trying to get Ghost off of her, but it didn’t work. The mother cow quickly shifted its weight forward onto sore and weak front legs from her previous fall doing a mini-buck. The hoof of the leg that Ghost had grabbed struck her in the stomach, just under her rib cage, knocking the breath from Ghost. The injury wasn’t major, it would only leave her a little sore for a day or two. Her head fell back down, tossing it from side to side to get her bearings straight once her feet touched back down, and since her eyes were placed roughly on the sides of her head she couldn’t see everything that was going on, at that moment she realized that she had stumbled not too far from the pack. The other cow that been charging them didn’t cease her approach and tilted her head back a little giving a loud bellow that would startle the canines and alert anything nearby. The group of seven cows backed up uneasily as the three other calves huddled close together, ears flared out, bodies motionless.
Ghost Dakota & Revolution
Ghost fell to her side, she laid there for a few seconds trying to catch her breath, she then stood up, and backed up a few steps. Dakota ran over to see if she was alright, Dakota ran around to the back of the cow, and leap on her back, and bit down hard at the back of her neck, she kept her body low so the cows horns could not hit her, Dakota's claw where piercing the skin. Revolution followed Dakota, then ran as fast and hard as he could, he ran and jumped aiming to grab hold of the cows jugular vein.
*Cattle*
The cow’s head was tossed from side to side, bellowing loudly, as feet were stamped and horns thrashed around by her neck wildly. The body of the cow shook from side to side, the flesh rolling from side to side, tossing Dakota about, it would be difficult to keep her balance. The cows thrashing head struck Revolution before he managed to grab her neck, stunning the cow for a second and knocking Revolution to the side. The cows horns had not touched Revolution, only the flat side of the face. The cow seemed to totter a little for a moment before parting its jaws to bellow loudly. The other cow that was charging the pack had not ceased its charge until it was where the pack should’ve been. Its neck craned about, spotting the commotion and charged once again, head lowered and small horns out moving to the closest wolf, to the fallen Revolution.
Koda
Koda looked over to see the cow she had just departed from charge at Revolution. She glared at this cow, now another would have to die, and maybe the other one. Things were getting out of hand, and a sharp but commanding bark to Silver Skye and Mekenis to get in here and help. She began to pick up speed, every stride causing tremendous pain to her side, but she ignored it, although it was very hard. With one last push, and a struggling gasp she leapt in the air, lunging at the cow who was charging Revolution. She aimed for he sharp, pearly dentals to sink in at one side of the cows face, to make it lose it's aim, which by the weight of a wolf it most likely would. Koda knew soon enough she would be dragged, but wouldn't let go until the cow was far enough away and Revolution was safe.
Silver Skye
Silver Skye had been watching the first cow being attacked, but held back because she knew she needed to watch out for other cattle. The dog noticed the other charging cow when Koda attacked its face. Mentally scolding herself for not keeping alert enough, she wheeled around and dashed after the beast who was headed for Revolution. She ran along its side and sprung up to sink her teeth into the cow.
Ghost Dakota & Revolution
As Revolution fell his head hit he ground and was knocked out for a second. Lifting his head, and saw a large shape running towards him, he didn’t quite realize what it was, but it was almost on top of him, Ghost ran as fast as she could, and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, and dragged him out of the way, she dragged him over to the fence, then barked at Dakota to get up. Dakota got up and trotted over to Ghost and Revolution. The three looked on at what was going on, this was going to last forever, and someone might die.
Mekenis
He wasn't too sure of his hunting skills. Other than living a short while with humans, he was at the pound for most of his short life. Yet Mekenis was eager to test his skills as well as help out his pack. He rushed at the cow who was being attacked by Koda and Silver Skye. He ran to the opposite side that Silver Skye was on and leapt up to get a hold on the cow's shoulder.
Ghost Dakota & Revolution
Ghost was getting mad, she turned to Dakota. "Go to the sheep pasture and go get Mitya, they can hunt without her! Then go find Jarla, I have no idea where she is but go..NOW!" She turned back and ran towards the cow that had been charging at Revolution, she leap up and tried to jump over its head, and land on its back, and grab the skin and tear it.
Dakota nodded and ran off to the sheep pasture to get Mitya, she ran fast and hard. Revolution stood as Dakota ran, he snarled these cows were strong, perhaps to strong, but maybe if they took the dead calf, and went to the sheep they could kill most and get pack to the terra with a bunch of sheep.
Mitya
The young hunteress ran in and ran over to Revolution, she looked at what was happening it was madness!
Revolution, Dakota, Jarla & Tsarr
Dakota ran in her pelt heavy with sweat she ran under the fence and stood beside Revolution, she looked behind her as the others followed. Jarla and Tsarr slipped under the fence and stood with the other two. All at once the four of them ran forwards and leapt to attack the cow, Revolution & Dakota went for its front legs, Jarla went for its left hind leg, and Tsarr went for its stomach.
Nuka and Zera
Nuka had left the other's after hearing that they needed help. He sat Zera down at a bush, "you know what to do." he said with a wink. Zera nodded and hid under the bush. Nuka then raced towards the big cow, he snapped at its neck with his strong jaws...
black fyre
*jumping over the fence the black huntress went to help koda. as koda attacked the cows face she hopped that koda would make it out safely from that attack. jumping onto the cows back she held on for dear life and grabbed its neck with her large maw. putting her sharp claws into the cows sides she felt blood. hoping nothing would happen to her she looked around seeing revolution nearly get ran over. looking to silver skye who was doing a great job for her first hunt.*
*Cattle*
The cow’s head quickly jerked to the side as Koda latched on, and as all the others latched on its legs quickly gave way and fell to the ground, onto it’s side, sending Ghost to the ground with it. Its legs trying futilely to move through the air but couldn’t with all the wolves on them. Its head curled back, bellowing loudly, desperately to the rest of the cattle who had become spooked by the fall of the cow. All quickly turned tail and ran, the calves resting in the middle of the herd. The final cow that had been the first target ran behind the others, trying to catch up the them while the one on the ground continued to struggle and fight for it’s life. It had lost a lot of blood from all the injuries and continued to bleed, growing weaker by the moment. The only two that remained was the dead calf and the dying cow.
Ghost, Mitya. Revolution, Dakota, Jarla & Tsarr
Ghost stood up and stepped back a few steps and watched the cow die, Mitya ran over and bite at its stomach, trying to ripe it open, Revolution, Dakota, and Jarla, all held on tight to its legs to keep it from kicking out. Tsarr jump over it and grabbed onto the back of its neck.
Nuka
He backed away from the cow, not wanting to claw koda...he snarled at the dying cow...
black fyre
*waiting for an open area to appear seeing one she dashed to the dying cow to tear off part of his skin to the bone to make it die quicker. she then jumped back with great agility hoping to have that piece in her mouth.*
*Cattle*
The dying cow opened it's mouth to give one last pained bellow before it's head fell back to the ground, dying a few moments later from the massive amount of blood lost. All that could be heard now was the now faint pounding of the cattle's hooves. They were gone
Koda
She was rather relieved that the rest of the pack had come, they would all now go get sheep most likely. Seeing the cow slowly die she let go, the fresh taste of blood still upon her. Drool slipped out, it was addictive, especially cow meat. Smiling she knew she would have to wait, like usual. Wait for Black Fyre, and for Hueros, and also for the rest to let go of the kill. Smiling to herself, she wondered sill of Revolution was ok...
Nuka
Seeing the cow died he smiled..he would wait for the rest of the pack before eating. Turning he looked at his sister and nodded, the pup bounded out of the bushes and to her brother, her snow white coat gleamed...
black fyre
we can't eat the cows here the humans will catch us. we need to work together to get them over the fence and have a few of us help to take them back to our caches then come back to the sheep.
Cronus
The mostly black collie was the size of an adult, but still an adolescent. He was in a sour mood after the wolf pup had become a pet to the Ranch, and he now shied away from the house. While all the other pets beside two of his siblings where in the house, he was sulking about outside. And that's when he heard the cattle running. The faint sound of the dying cow's bellow reached him as he sprinted across the field. When he spotted the pack, the fur along his back rose in a ridged line and his fangs were revealed.
"You wild beasts!" he bellowed in a young but already dominating voice, "You have no right here!"
Ghost Mitya Dakota Revolution Jarla & Tsarr
They all backed away from the cow, Dakota looked over at the dog, she growled at him, she ran towards him and leapt towards his throat which he was not protecting. Ghost and Mitya stepped forwards behind Dakota, she was getting to be vicious. Revolution limped over to Koda and sat down, he lifted his paw and licked it. Jarla and Tsarr both looked at each other then turned and started to walk away.
Cronus
He made a side-ways leap, trying to avoid the wolf's fangs. Unfortunately, he wasn't prepared for such a sudden attack, and Dakota caught him around the throat. Startled at the quick turn of events, Cronus yelped and kicked frantically at the wolf, trying to free himself from her grip before she bit down too tightly.
black fyre
*dashing forward also huntress grabs cronus's maw so he could not howl or anything. she bit down hard. they could kill this one he would have been an eye witness almost he was going to die.*
Cronus
Cronus tried to snarl now as he struggled and flailed his legs to get free. Biting down as hard as she did brought a muffle yelp from the young collie. He couldn’t help it, his bravery was fading in face of this imminent death. Suddenly, a memory flickered back to him. He remembered this wolf! And... his light blue eyes scanned the ground for a wolf that scent told him was here. Koda! His eyes widened slightly as they locked onto her. For a moment they stayed on her, then flickered to Black Fyre. She was the one who nearly killed his dad, and the one that his mother was so fearful of. But what good would these memories do him now? He was helpless. Even against one of these wolves, he wouldn't stand a chance. He was still too young.
Shimmer
She ran in to see what was happening and Koda was helping the enemy! She saw Cronus. "Cronus!" She yelled frantically and howled for the humans and others. She saw Black Fyre. She remembered her. She helped her and Timber at the alley but killing her sibling was a no no. She rammed Dakota forcing her to release Cronus. "Koda how dare you! Helping them!" She said. She knew Ivy and Timber should be hear soon since she told them she heard trouble at the cow pasture. She also rams Black Fyre and stands by Cronus snarling at the enemies. So many cows had died which was unacceptable. She hoped Contus, the bull she had befriended when she saved him, was ok. "Cronus are you ok?" She asks very alert.
Ivy
She bounded into the pasture and was shocked when she saw what happened, She charged for Black Fyre shoulder, hoping to knock her off of her sibling. She was a teen now and was strong...
Nuka
He bristled his fur, it seemed to him that the other's had the pet under control. He then looked back to the others, "I think we should move the carcass.." he said, motioning to the cow carcass...
Koda
She had placed a loving lick upon Revolution's maw, and was beginning to help drag the calf's carcass away when a commotion behind stopped her. Cronus?! She hadn't really gotten to meet this one, but she could tell he was quite a solitude kind of dog. Dakota had a hold of him, and Black Fyre, and two others were protecting Dakota. It seemed everything was fine. Just as she was going to continue dragging the calf, she spotted two other dogs. Not all that big, but still not a pup anymore either. The fur along her back bristled. They enemy? How could the ever truly be her enemy when Black Fyre had taken her in, and the other pack now trusted her? She was back now, and never better. Rubbers curled over, and a bone chilling snarl was emitted to the dogs trying to protect the already killed cow and calf. Stepping forward, not meaning to be rude but also snarling at Black Fyre, Dakota, and the others. She stood tall, they might be larger than last time, but they still were not fully grown, and even Ivy would be no match. Covering her weak spot, jugular, and windpipe, she snarled again, speaking finally. They are not the enemy, never have and never will. I was stupid to try and befriend the humans, they still do not trust me. And you, Shimmer, you have even tasted their blood, along with Timber. They are dead already, and you three know that you can not harm us. Cronus is hurt already, are you sure you want to risk more? Finishing a rather large growl, she returned to snarled again, ready for any attack and in a perfect position to counter attack and moves...
Shimmer
"I may have tasted human blood but I didn’t like it. Timber and me had to fight that human for our freedom and we wouldn't have done it if we could have avoided it. How dare you. You were about to let them kill Cronus and from the looks of it you dont even care. What happened? What happened to the old Koda that used to be my freind? I guess she wasn't really the whole time. And as for the cows you shouldn't have even started killing them so why should you get to take their bodies!" She says. Her voice was full of deep emotion. She wasn't a pup any longer but a young adult or as some say teen. She snarled. her eyes were fierce and she had fought numbers greater then herself before and was ready to risk it all to protect her family and to protect the remaining cattle and humans. "Koda I thought you had a heart but I guess I was wrong. I can't believe you’d let them kill Cronus. Lucky Ivy and I got here in time to save him. Leave now all of you and without the cows." She snarled. Her eyes had tears in them. Her stomach twisted. How could the Koda that she once knew even let them think about killing Cronus and how could she stab everyone she knew in the back. She howls for the other collies and humans. She stood tall in a regal position with her tail high. She would fight to protect what she cared for. Shed never stab her family in the back as Koda had done to her friends.
Koda growled again, from deep within her chasms. Getting angry at every word she spoke. Dial lowered, but her pistons still held her bulk high, her position of fighting. Blood covered enamels were shown, as she hissed out her answer. Yes I'm sure you would have. And they were never going to kill Cronus. Yes Dakota is growing bigger, but she still doesn't have enough power to kill him, and from the position Black Fyre was in, she couldn't have either. If she went for his neck, Dakota would have been bitten instead. After they got on, there was nothing I could do! You and I both know that you never thought me as a friend, you still couldn't trust me, and usually never noticed me anyway. And you have no use for the cows now anyway, what are you going to do? Eat them? She snarled again, full of anger now. She was ready to kill, not the cows now. Remembering how a certain someone had done something, she still waited. She growled, long, hard, but it was more fearful than most times. Loud, and full of meaning, but not much. Well I guess if you'd listen you'd be able to hear my heart. They are dieing Shimmer. I believe it is you that has no heart. And they were not going to kill Cronus, you and Ivy came for nothing. And we shall take the cows, so just stand back. She meant what she said. She had done nothing wrong in her point of view. No one trusted her here, before she turned back. It was much better to be like this, and either they let them go, or stay and fight. She barked sharp again, directed towards the rest. Leave, now, the humans and dogs will be coming soon, get the cows out. Snarling again back at Shimmer and the other she waited for them to come on, or get around, she was ready for both.
HE snarled at the 'pets' and then grabbed the cow's front leg, ready to start pulling it.
Zera, still a pup, grabbed the animals ear and tried to pull, but she was way to small to move the cow..
Ivy snarled, she didn't really know Koda, but she didn't like her. She howled for the humans and other collies, hoping for backup..
Jarla & Tsarr ran back to the dead cow and started to pull it, but Jarla knew they couldn’t get it back , they had to get it threw the fence first. Tsarr looked around for a place with week boards, he spotted one, he ran over to it and launched his body towards it, it snapped in half, there was just enough room for the cow to get threw. Dakota stood up and looked at Koda and she said that she could not take on this dog, yes she could, she was a wolf! Ghost and Mitya ran over to Dakota's side Mitya licked Dakotas paw, then all three of them lowered their heads, and emitted a deep growl, Mitya and Ghost moved around them so they now were surrounded by the group. Revolution looked at Koda as she did this, then watched as she spoke to the 'pet' he grunted, then runs over to her side, and stood strong beside her.
*surprised by shimmers attack she was flung only about an inch ready for ivy she grabbed her head as she rammed her. holding ivy’s mouth shut as she threw her to the ground* if you want this mutt to die then leave us be *she smirked holding her hostage. anything to get away with their food was worth it almost.*
She let out a muffled snarl when Black Fyre grabbed her; She wasn't able to speak though...
"Koda I used to but now your an enemy. " She snarled and rammed Black Fyre once again for she couldn't kill Ivy by just holding her maw.
*swiftly dodging shimmer she latched onto ivy’s neck and snarled threateningly*
Tsarr looked over at shimmer, he left the cow and Jarla, and ran up behind Shimmer, she didn’t know he was there, he was also downwind from her, he grabbed her back leg, and threw her a few feet, the launched his body at her, aiming for her neck. Jarla snarled and followed Tsarr and stood watching in case something happened to him.
Timber arrived shortly after Shimmer did. His parents would arrive shortly, he hoped, as well as his masters. The collie picked up speed and charged strait for Tsarr and sprung into the air at the same time the wolf did. He was smaller, but he hoped to collide with Tsarr and prevent him from getting Shimmer's neck.
Ignoring now the pain to his slender muzzle and neck, the collie choose a new opponent. Being swift-footed, he raced around Black Fyre and tried to bite her tail and yank on it. It was no way to kill her, but the tail was a sensitive thing, and he hoped it would make the wolf release Ivy.
She watched back and forth as their numbers increased. The only thing that could save these mutts now was if their mommies and daddies came to rescue them yet again. She snarled again, Revolution was still hurt, but she was in no position to boss him around as well. Her dial raised again, snarling and barking threateningly. Auds were back against her skull, hidden beneath her thick winter coat. There was no point in this process that enamels were hidden, watching as Ivy was clenched into a deathly. Also watching as Shimmer had been flung, not flinching. She says she trusted her, been even she knew that there was never a point for that. Shimmer you and I both know that in all my time being here, with the humans, the only one that slightly trusted me was your mother, and that was only because I had carried her. You never did, so don't you dare lie. She growled threateningly at Cronus, the best thing for him to do now was run and get the other, but he was to young, and stupid to know that.
Tsarr's aim was thrown off when the young one hit him, he turned and jump on his grabbing his neck and shaking his head violently. Jarla launched herself at Shimmer and continued what Tsarr had done, she bit down hard. Ghost and Mitya both ran and leaped on Timber knocking him down, Ghost grabbed the back on his neck and Mitya bit at his stomach and pulled. Dakota went back after Cronus she rammed into him, and grabbed his front leg and twisted it in a none natural way trying to break it. Revolution stood up and emitted a call to all. "Stop this now! You 'pets' leave us to take our kill, and we will leave and none of you will have to die for them. Besides neither you nor the humans have any use for these anymore.
She wasn’t stupid for 1 and two she had been alert so she had heard footsteps behind her so she sidesteps just in time. she got a few cuts but It was worth not being thrown. As Black Fyre went for Ivy's neck she kicked her with her back legs to make her miss Ivy's neck and perhaps grab something less life threatening. "Timber watch out!" She yapped seeing Ghost. She ran and rammed as hard as she could at Ghost. With doing so she fell as well twisting her leg but not badly. She was part wolf and collie. She had liked Koda as a freind at one point when he was a pup but when Koda had been acting strange and suspicious her trust had gone and now Koda was an enemy. She snorts as she recovers from her ram and leaps to her feet. Her leg hurt a little but not that bad for she ignored it. "Koda I am not lying. I did trust you as a freind at one point when we were young but all that trust is gone now." She snarled truthfully. "And they were going to try and kill Cronus before we came. I could see it in their eyes so I know you didn’t care in the least bit."
Black Fyre had ripped the skin on her neck, but she didn't yelp. Her neck was bleeding, but not badly..
Ghost laughed as Shimmer fell, she grabbed the leg that was hurt and twisted hearing a snap.
Revolution was getting fustrated."Just leave and I will call them all off, and if they do not I will attack them myself. Now...please go and let us take our kill, we all have to eat to survive let us do so!"
Nuka and Zera helped drag the cow to the fence, trying to get it into the woods...
Finally for once she had stopped snarling, they were very loyal, she had learned that, but these wolves, they were loyal as well. As soon as one was in danger, the whole pack attacked. She nudged Revolution. They won't stop Revolution, it's in their nature, they just....won't. Smiling to him she began to walk into the commotion, still ready, she bee lined towards Shimmer. Standing in front of her yet again. She growled, but blood stained enamels remained hidden for this moment. Fire filled within her orbs, if this dog had ever trusted her, or befriended her, it meant nothing. She had held herself in from tearing the human to pieces when he had patted her. And now she broke that trust. Who would have expected her to go on just without the fresh taste of cow and sheep. She growled louder, words enclosed. Shimmer, I can not believe we were ever friends, if we were, it meant nothing to you anyway. Every chance you got, you went away from me, and the last kill of the sheep, I helped them too, with Sahena, and the wolverine. And they were not going to kill Cronus, they couldn't! Dakota is a fierce little one, but still not strong enough to get through all that meet, to the vitals. And Black Fyre couldn't because Dakota was already there, I told you that already! Finishing her trap shut, and a sort of bow position was taken, although it wasn't, she was ready.
She may have had a leg that got twisted but she could still use it so as ghost came she lashed out with her back legs to kick Ghost in the face. She smirks at Koda. "They would have." She said for she knew it. She knew that they were outnumbered but shed still fight. "Fine take ONE of the dead cows but leave the rest." She snarled. She didn’t want the others to get hurt so it was the only choice she had. She snorted. "I had a feeling you had helped them that time and I guess I was right. If you betrayed us you could betray anyone." She said and snarled.
*growling she bit down hard on ivy's neck tasting blood she let go.* we take all cows shimmer. they are our prize we killed the cows for us now let us have them. *she snarled blood dripping from her teeth. the blood had come from ivy’s neck. now ivy would have teeth marks as a scar for life. that way they would always remember that black fyre was always haunting them. or as the humans called her shadows bane the humans would always remember her to.*
She couldn't help but yelp, her neck bleed badly, it was torn deep into her skin, making a nasty gash. She still snarled quietly at Black Fyre, wiggling, trying to get free..
Timber couldn't hold back a yelp when Mitya bit his stomach. He swung his slender muzzle around and snapped frenzily at her muzzle, while kicking at her as well.
Cronus didn't make any sound of pain as Dakota grabbed his leg. Luckily, his young age and limber body saved his leg from being broken because he twisted around in time as she yanked on it. It still hurt a great deal, but he could ignore that pain for now. Without a snarl, he reached his muzzle back as far as he could while Dakota had his leg, and tried to snag his teeth into the side of her neck; or where ever he could reach.
Ghost emitted a call for them to back off, everyone back away from the pets and all except for Ghost and Revolution went to the cows and started to pull them away. But before Dakota left, she had gotten a piece of her lip cut from the pet, she growled at him, but obeyed Ghost.
She howled for the humans again. As Black Fyre bit Ivy's neck she rushed and grabbed the underside of Black Fyre's and bit hard. Since Black Fyre was holding Ivy she wouldn't be able to move well so it made it as an invitation to grab her neck. "ONE they aren't yours so even if you killed them they are still our masters property!" She snarls. If Black Fyre bit any harder on Ivy she'd go deeper in Black Fyre's neck as well. If it got to the point where Ivy’s life was in to badly of danger shed have no choice but to let them go. Only if Ivy told her to release Black Fyre she would. She tasted blood as she held tight.
Shimmer just had to go there, betrayal. Yes she betrayed, but not these pets, her family, the wolves. A grumbling growl escaped from deep within her caverns, she had never been this set on killing, this was different to her. Black Fyre on the other hand had done this a couple times, so she was used to it. A bone chilling snarl erupted from parted jaws, strong limber pistons launched bulk into the air, towards Shimmer. Since she was focused more on Black Fyre, and Ivy, she would have no chance to counter this one. Falling to the ground again, coming up beneath with such speed, jaws opened and snapped shut hopefully around the wind pipe, but anywhere else would still be almost fatal. Oh yes she was going for those spots, and she bit down hard, but not hard enough to kill, no but she did bite hard, and now all she could do was wait, jaws tightly shut, but not fully, waiting, opening her curtains for the had been closed to reveal the scene to her.
Koda must have not seen her head position. It was upward and thus tucked so Koda really just grabbed her thick fur and not anywhere fatal though Koda did rip her skin a bit but it wasn't fatal so she ignored it. She pulled her legs in to protect her underbelly and she snarled biting Black Fyre as hard as Black Fyre bit Ivy. "I dont want to do this but will be forced to if you hurt Ivy anymore." She said. She wasn't one big on killing but if it was to protect her family and friends shed kill. Koda thought she betrayed wolves? No she hadn't for every wolf chooses their own path and hers was chosen at the ranch. She continues to snarl.
She wiggled in Black Fyre's jaws, trying to get free, but the more she wiggled the more the skin on her neck was torn by the wolf's teeth. She stopped and started hitting at Black Fyre's eyes with her paw...
Timber was about to chase defiantly after Mitya and the others, but he could see that Shimmer and Ivy were being attacked still. Ignoring the clenching pain to his stomach as best as he could, he charged straight for Koda. While the wolf had busied herself attacking Shimmer, Timber struck out and tried to bury his fangs into the side of her neck.
Cronus limped slightly because his leg had been strained by the pulling. He target Black Fyre again, and clenched his jaws around one of her front legs.
Soon, the teenage boy came riding across the pasture on one of his horses, Nass. While Abigale, Rollin, and Elsa had been held back, his parents sent him out to see what was the matter. Just in case, he had brought his riffle with him. Galloping quickly over the snow, John guided Nass towards Koda, Black Fyre, and his pets. He didn't see that one cow had been dragged towards the fence, but he did see the rest of the wolves. It was hard to aim his riffle while riding, but he did as best as he could and shot into the group of wolves who had backed away. And he tried to keep Nass galloping around so it would be difficult for the wolves to catch him.
Silver Skye yelped in surprise when the gun blasted in the direction of her and the other wolves. But she wasn't hit, only frightened. Her ears laid back across her head as her lips lifted to show off her stunning fangs. The dog rushed at Nass with a blood-chilling snarl and snapped at his hind legs.
Emerald Rain came from the Sheep Pasture when Black Fyre and Mitya had. He was timid by nature, and so he choose to help drag the cow over the fence instead of fight.
*breaking away painfully from all the attacks that had been set on her she watched the bullet fly almost in slow motion on her hind legs she almost fell back but quickly landed correctly* skye no!!!* rushing into a burst of speed so that johns next shot if he took another one would miss anything. she skidded to a stop in front of the horse who hopefully reared. she hoped that john would lose his grip and fall of backwards.* skye we have to get out. more humans might come. rushing to the second cow she helped drag it in zig zags quickly to the broken fence and then they were gone. hopefully all the wolves in her pack had made it out safely. in the safety of the woods she left the cow to run back in and let out a threatening howl and for her pack another howl of calling to leave this pasture and go back to the cashes.*
Hueros bounded into the field after hearing the gun shot. His dark eyes fell upon the human with the riffle. The tervuren sprinted over the snow and made a dashing circle around Nass, trying to slow the horse down or spook it so that it threw John off. "Run, Silver Skye!" he barked. Once she was safe, he would flee from the human and his riffle as well.
Letting go and striking again at Shimmer, if she had such a good grip on Black Fyre, than when she ripped out of it, her vitals would be open, there was no denying, and no way out. Striking again, hopefully catching, either was Timber would not be able to catch her neck or risk cutting Shimmer as well. Curving slightly so he would get some skin on her shoulder, but mostly hair there were two of the pets surrounding her, most likely John wouldn't risk that shot. Biting hard this time, she had to have gotten a whole lot of skin, and made a whole lot of damage this time, because it was like a door. Dial shook vigorously, tearing at the skin if she did hit. Pushing, even if she did miss, by what she was doing, and being under Shimmers chest, quite cramped, she would have tipped Shimmer over, letting go and striking at the neck again with this her shoulder had been ripped from Timber, her vitals covered she did like Sahena had done, and clamped tightly on the neck. Since Koda was standing atop of Shimmer, her attack would have to have hit somewhere, so where did it hit?
Nass struck out with his hind hooves when Silver Skye attacked him. He then reared up suddenly when Black Fyre jumped in front of him, and John fell off. The horse's hooves slashed down and narrowly missed striking Black Fyre.
John picked up his riffle and ran over to Koda and his two pets. He never really trusted the wolf, although his parents had. Like Koda had thought, John couldn't risk shooting her with Shimmer and Timber so close. Instead, as Koda struck for Shimmer's neck, he raised his riffle and swung it down across the top of her neck, just behind the skull.
Timber quickly sprang at Koda once more, but had to leap back when John swung the gun. Seeing that his master could settle this, the collie turned his attention to Hueros. "Leave Nass alone!" he snarled and charged at the dog. Instead of trying to ram into Hueros, Timber whizzed back and lashed out with his fangs to try and graze the dog's side.
Cronus went after Silver Skye, trying to slash at the dog's sides as well.
Ivy was thrown from Black Fyre's jaws, tearing her neck even worse. Her head hit a rock and she was knocked out. Laying helplessly on the ground, the snow now blood red from her neck...
*she didn't care that she was bleeding all over she would go to the woodland lady for help. rushing painfully she knocked cronus down and away from skye. sending skye off quickly to the others she ran to hueros. wincing in pain in every step she snarled the pet who was threatening her mate. the both running off in zig zags to the woods.*
Since he was closest to the fence he grabbed his young sister and ran into the woods, "Zera, hide!" he said. The white pup scrambled under a bush. Nuka ran back out swiftly and grabbed the cow, pulling it into the woods....
Koda gave a short yelp as the barrel of the gun came down upon her. Snarling, Shimmer was down for a moment, giving her a chance, with the gun below, and his arms away unable to protect him Koda jumped for his neck. Speed and agility was used to its extreme to complete this. She had never attacked a human before, but this was a desperate time and her distraction. Fur was puffed up on her back, and her own vitals were protected but because of a sudden attack she would have hit somewhere, and if Shimmer or Timber or whomever attack her, it would just yank her down, tearing John's skin, and making his life even more in her control. Like she had done with Shimmer she went for the windpipe so that he would die if and other decided to attack her. Hoping it hit she bit down hard, and waited, wondering.
Ghost, Dakota, Jarla all ran an grabbed the big cow and helped drag out, and to the caches. Mitya and Revolution grabbed the calf and dragged it out to. Tsarr looked as Zera hid in the grass, and saw Nuka run out, since the large cow, and the calf were gone, he raced over and grabbed Zera and ran back to the packs terra.
The large wolf-dog trotted in and looked at what was going on, he saw the human attack the wolf with the gun. Azja was up to the humans hips, he snarled, and ran towards him, and jumped on him from behind, his claws dug into his back, his teeth sunk into his neck
Nuka saw Tsarr grab Zera and wasn't worried, he new she would be taken care of.
Zera was a little surprise and caught off guard when she was grabbed, but she new she would be safe...
She lifted her head, waking up with a terrible headache. She saw Azja and leaped up, forgetting about her badly injured neck and hurting head. She ran after Azja, leaping up, trying to grab him on the tail, hoping to distract him. Her neck was covered in her own blood, and bleeding badly, but she paid no attention to it...
He saw what happened to this unknown wolf-dog, he puts down Zera, "Stay here and keep low if someone comes near you, let out a call, and we will come save you!" The hunter runs after Ivy, and hits her with his body, knocking her down, he snarled at her, the launched him body aiming for her stomach, puts held his head back so his neck was covered, his upper lip curled, his ivories showing.
She releases Black Fyre as Ivy gets released. As Koda released her she rammed her t keep her away from Mark and then she ran and rammed Tsarr since Ivy was already injured badly enough.
She yelped when Tsarr went for her stomach, he torn the flesh, but not hurting at organs. Now her stomach and neck were bleeding badly. She kicked at Tsarr's soft belly wither her back legs...
The pup nodded and hid, watching the scene...
Tsarr was knocked over as Shimmer hit him. He stood up at growled at her.
*this was all out war. her stomach area almost ripped apart fatally the huntress let out a howl. they were to leave. she didn't want her pack or any one else in this fight hurt any more worse then she was.*
She runs over to the fence and before they could get the cow over she yanks it back harshly and then runs by johns side. Now these enemies wouldn’t have time to take the cow without being shot.
Koda took a quick glance behind her, Shimmer was too late and had not succeeded in ramming her, but she felt her slightly behind her. She would have hit John by now, and hopefully by the impact of the wolf, knock him over. Auds cocked forward at Black Fyre's call, but she would be the last to leave. Lunging again at the neck region, hoping to kill him, having the advantage. Watching Shimmer run, and give a tug, the cow only moved slightly, they would still have time, it took three grown wolves to take out one cow, and she thought she could move it herself. They would still have time, and with Koda occupying John not to mention Azja, he would not be able to shoot anyway.
Ahh but they wouldn’t have time for Timber and Cronus could probably stop the others while she made sure Ivy and John were ok. She jumps at Koda again and grabs her scruff and yanks back before she reached Mark she releases and snarls at Koda. She glares at Azja warning her not to attack Mark or else. She knew Nass would be ok. "Nass if any come near you stomp them to death." She barks just in case.
He snarled at Shimmer and grabbed the cow, dragging it back into the woods...
Zera hid underneath a bush, although, her white coat stood out..
Timber rushed at Azja, trying to tackle the large canine. If he didn't succeed in doing that, he snapped and slashed with his fangs, trying to drive Azja away from John.
Cronus rushed to Ivy, snarling at the others around her. ">b?Get out of here!" he snapped at the wild pack, "You've done enough damage!"
John had been knocked down by the attacks, but he instinctively put his arms up when they lunged at him, so his throat was protected.
Nass was in a frenzy of fear, with so many wolves running about. But he wouldn't run off to leave his friends to fend for themselves. The horse charged for the attacking pack. He charged over near where Koda was, but nearly stepped on Shimmer and John in the process. Luckily, he missed them both. He was trying to scare off the wild pack, if not cripple a few with his large hooves.
Azja started to bite at the humans hands, then moved up to his head, and started to scratch and bite at it, then when Timber hit him off, he ripe out a chunk of the humans hair, he stood up and growled at the dog, the part of him that was an Irish wolfhound kicked in, but he didn’t go after the wolfs no, he ran up behind Cronus and launched his slim body atop of him, trying to grab the back of his neck. But he had given to much launch power, he jumped straight over him, but instead of turning back he went for Shimmer.
With all her strength she ran after Azja, launching herself in the air, trying to tackle him, keeping him away from shimmer...
Koda snarled as Shimmer bit at her, and was startled as Nass came and stomped. But since she was atop of John she was not hit by any of the hooves. When she was ripped down, whatever she had of John came with her too, and she turned to snarl at Shimmer. It was the second time the wolf dog had come to save a pack at the Ranch, and she witnessed both. Seeing him coming, Shimmer would not be able to go after her, because if she came forward, Azja would hit her. Since John had covered him self, Koda now lunged for the fleshy stomach, biting and letting go. One after another she just kept going. moving up she began to snap at his ribs, and sternum hoping to snap one, but not sure if she would. Moving back down to his stomach, and snapping like mad once again.
Ivy had stopped Azja for her and she was thankful. Before Koda laid a tooth on John she tackles Koda who was probably unaware of her. She grabs Koda's mug and bites down hard after she rammed Koda off of John.
Koda had been too quick, and she had already snapped and hopefully terribly injured John's stomach, Being knocked away, and jaws wide open, Shimmer failed in snapping jaws shut upon her open mug. She had had enough of this dog, and with John down, and little hair from where she bit before, unprotected Koda lunged. Fast and quick there was no way to get out of it, clamping shut, hard, hoping to close upon her windpipe, and if so, she WOULD pass out.
Ahh but their was a way to dodge. She jumps sideways Koda grabbing her shoulder. She feels the skin break and whirls her head around and tucks her neck as she goes for Koda’s throat or the top of Koda’s maw. Jaws clamp tight when she hits pone of her targets.
When Ivy hit him, it wasn’t very hard, he turned towards her, and lowered his body to the ground, when she was close enough, he sprang up, grabbing at her already bloody throat.
She snarled and kicked at him, hitting him in the face with her paws. Her throat was bleeding, as was her stomach, she was about to pass out from the blood lose...
Koda had watched he move away, and she had watched Shimmer from afar do this many times, along with many other wolves and dogs. Quickly snapping and moving away, watching jaws clamp in front of her, but miss, almost. She had turned to the side while retreating you could say, back and a large cut lay on her ear, bleeding quite badly. She whimpered, but then attacked John again, this time even if Shimmer did attack, Koda already had hold of his stomach while he still lay on the ground, shaking her dial, if Shimmer rammed her again, a piece of John would be within her jaws as she stumbled away. You're choice.
Cronus hunched down slightly as Azja jumped over him. He knew better than trying to tackle the large hybrid when he had a hold of Ivy's throat. Instead of charging Azja, he took advantage of the fact that the hybrid couldn't really defend himself or move away while he kept his hold on Ivy. He didn't put any momentum into his attack as he drove his own fangs into Azja's neck, and bit down with all his might.
Timber attacked in the same way as his brother. While Koda bit John, Timber took his chance to bite the wolf. Being lithe and wiry built, he slipped low to the ground, then sunk his teeth into Koda's own underbelly.
John tried to shield his stomach, but to no avail. The sharp teeth that bore into him made him cry out, but he didn't panic completely, and reach out one hand to clamp as hard as he could onto Koda's sensitive nose. His gun was lying next to him, but he could hardly shoot it, much less aim it while using one arm and being attacked by a wolf. Instead, he grabbed the riffle by the muzzle and swung it again at Koda, this time aiming the heavier butt of the gun to smash down across her head.
Nass was still panic-stricken, like his kind normally are under such circumstances. Still, he wouldn't run away and he hadn't yet been confronted by the pack. The horse snorted loudly, then dove back into the melee of wolves and dogs. This time, he thundered through the area where the wolves were by the fence. They could easily jump the fence and be out of harms way, because Nass couldn't jump a fence without the aide of his master. But if they didn't move, they would be trampled.
Nuka saw the horse coming, grabbing his sister from the bush he raced into the woods, out of harm's way..
She stopped her kicking and looked around, everything seemed to be moving everywhere. Suddenly she went limp in the wolf dog's mouth, falling unconscious.
*rushing to timber she bit at his muzzle under azja's belly.she clamped down hard to break bone. may be he couldn't eat and they would have to euthanize him*
Since Koda had John she couldn't get Shimmer without letting go so she grabs Koda's neck and sinks her teeth in. She didn't yank though in fear of hurting John. She bites harder and harder into Koda's neck but her mind stops her from penetrating the windpipe or vital veins for she hated to kill unless needed but she would if it had to be done. She kicks at Black Fyre's sensitive nose with her back legs as Black Fyre goes for Timber. She was trying to stop Black Fyre or give Timber enough time to get away.
Koda yelped at a sharp pain was felt underneath her, suddenly she was knocked back as well as the gun came round. She was left in a daze, quite vulnerable for a moment, and fell. But quickly realizing she sprung up again, still vulnerable she could be attacked. Suddenly she felt teeth sink in to her shoulder area. Shimmer. She had been going for the vitals. With two dogs on her she began to roll, ripping her own skin. With John injured, his hands most likely broken from Azja, Koda ran from the ground, and leapt. She wasn't that fast, but neither were any of them, they were all sore, and hurt. Jumping jaws opened, to hopefully close upon the back of Nass. Biting hard, for she had no killing intentions, and could not from where she was anyway. Snarling and growling, claws dug into the sides, trying to hold on as best she could while ripping away at the horse.
Timber yelped as Black Fyre bit down on his muzzle, but had time to pull away before she could break any bones. Still, her fangs left deep gashes through his skin. Furious, he whirled around and tried to slash at her shoulders.
John tried to pick his gun up with both hands, but found that his right hand could hardly grasp the gun. He couldn't feel the pain yet, but some of the bones had been broken. Knowing he couldn't aim his riffle with one hand, he gave up that idea. With the muscles in his stomach now torn, he had a hard time getting up, but he managed. Azja was now the closest foe to him, so he staggered over to the large hybrid and swung the riffle at his head as well, using his unbroken hand. He was careful not to hit Cronus or Ivy.
Nass cried out when the fangs where set into his back, but many thick muscles there protected his spine and ribs. Frightened beyond reason now, Nass began to buck and run around wildly without seeing who or what got into his way.
She was glad Nass had stomped on the ones with the cow who wouldn't have time to drag it now. Shimmer howls for the other humans knowing John had some broken bones. She knew Nass would be fine and she snarls very alert. She ran to Ivy and dragged her to the safety under a tree to keep her out of harms way any more hopefully. She then charges back into Battle and rams Black Fyre careful not to hit Timber. "Get out!" She snarls at Black Fyre.
The two adult collies came tearing across the ground, heading straight for the fray. Mark would be here soon enough, but he had to wait in the Barn for his four-wheeler to warm up. The rest of the horses were too spooked to be ridden.
Abigale spotted Koda and halted for a moment, taken aback at what she saw. "Koda!" she huffed under her breath as her slanted eyes narrowed more. "Traitor!" the collie snarled in a thunderous tone as she raced across the ground. She tried to catch up to Nass, but the horse was bucking around so erratically that it was hard to get near him without getting stamped on.
Rollin went for Black Fyre, the wolf who had nearly killed him a time ago. He rushed down upon the wolf, and tried to seize the back of her neck, just behind the base of the skull.
She was glad her howl was heard. She lunges for Azaj's soft underbelly incase he went for John.
When John hit him, he fell to the ground, but got up before Shimmer could get his underbelly. He stood and looked at what had happened, the cow was already gone, and so was the calf, they were both in the woods, no one could stop them anymore. He snarled and just stood where he was, he had had enough of this fighting.
She opened her eyes for a moment and saw her parents. Her belly know covered in blood, her fur stained on her back from her neck wound..
She was glad that the pack hadn't gotton the last dead cow because they didn't deserve anything. Not even the two they had taken.
The hunter growls, and runs off to their pack where they had taken the meat.
She laid helplessly on the ground, blood covering her stomach and back. She felt very dizzy and weak. Remembering seeing her parents she whimpered, "Mama, Daddy?" she said, desperately wanting their company, or her siblings, it didn't matter...
She dashed over to Ivy when the pack started to leave. She licks Ivy’s fur cleaning some of the blood for her. "Ivy are you ok? Dont worry..." She says. She k new Ivy had lost allot of blood. "When we get back to the ranch Mark and Martha will fix you up." She says.She was still very alert and made sure no one she knew and cared about was in danger.
She looked at Shimmer, you could see the pain in her eyes, "My stomach and neck are hurting really bad.." she said, wincing when she took in a breath...
She sighed sadly. "Ivy can you walk?" She asked. Her eyes showed that she wanted Ivy to be ok but her ears were still perked incase someone tried to attack her or Ivy shed hear them first.
She nodded slowly standing up, "Ohhh" she said when she stood. She took a step forwards, towards John, but she stumbled and almost fell...
A distant rumbling sound could be heard, growing louder. It was the four wheeler that Mark had finally gotten to start up and was driving to the pasture. He would have to drive around to the gate to get into the pasture, which would take longer, but he would be at the scene soon enough.
Timber and Cronus went over to Ivy and Shimmer, both keeping alert as well. Of the two, Cronus was hurt worse with his torn neck and leg, but neither were hurt quite as bad as Ivy. Of all his collie siblings, Cronus would be the last to complain about any injury, so he stood silently. Timber's stomach and muzzle was cut and bleeding, but it was nothing bad. He glanced about at his family, worried about the injuries they had received.
Rollin didn't chase after Azja. Instead, he aided his mate by dashing off after Nass and trying to calm the horse. "Nass, be careful! Stop and we'll get the wolf off of you!" Abigale barked, but to no avail. The two collies couldn't jump up on Nass to get Koda because that would make Nass crash into the ground.
Nass was too terrified to listen to his friends. Strong instincts told him to buck and run about to try and fling the predator off his back. He was so panicked at this point, he failed to see the stump of a tree in his path. His front hooves grazed the stump just as bucked his hind legs into the air. This resulted in making the horse do almost a complete flip. Instead of landing on his back, he twisted and fell onto his side. Abigale and Rollin had sprung back in time to avoid getting smashed by the friend. If Koda hadn't jumped before Nass fell, she would be crush under him.
John saw the wild pack retreating, except Koda. He couldn't do anything about her at the moment anyway, so he turned his attention to the younger pets. Seeing Ivy almost fall, the teen knelt down and used his good hand to steady her, but couldn't pick her up. He turned his eyes up to look at Shimmer, Timber, and Cronus and worried to see them all hurt. He could do nothing now until his dad came, and he only hoped that the wild pack wasn't coming back.
She was worried as well but the thought of the disappearance of Nak, Menesa, and Stallis still worried her. When everyone was back at the ranch house shed leave to find them despite her injuries. Her leg hurt and she had allot of scrapes that still bled and her shoulder was torn but she ignored the pain. She went under Ivy and stood lifting her up though it was hard to carry Ivy’s weight by herself but she wanted to help Ivy get back to the ranch.
*dodging both she felt dizzy. she growled to koda to get off the horses back. she wasn't a human to ride a horse. turning she swore revenge some day when they were all old. she wouldn't mind killing their pups either. running painfully through the broken part of the fence she told the pack to finish bring the cows to the cashes. she needed serious help. she had left a large trail of blood in the snow. she was getting dizzier by the minute. turning she went to a old friends.*
The enemies only had a calf and a cow and they wouldn’t have time to take the last one and she was glad. She holds Ivy’s weight even though her leg hurt. She yipped to her siblings and parents to see if one of them could help her carry Ivy.
They had all the animals they had killed well away, and were already almost at the caches. Before Nass had even fell Koda had fallen not able to hold on. Scrambling to get up she growled and snarled before slowly leaving. They had their own way to heal, but she didn't know exactly what it was. Picking up her pace towards the caches, she was also bleeding quite badly, and had a massive headache, they would be back, someday...
Abigale and Rollin snarled and snapped at Koda as she left, but didn't follow her past the fence line. They turned and raced over the ground to where the others were.
Mark had finally reached the scene, in time to see the last wolf leave the area. Blood covered the trampled snow in many places, telling him what had happened before he even asked. He was shocked to see how bad his pets and son were hurt. He said something to John, who reluctantly got onto the back of the four wheeler. Mark scooped up Ivy and put her in the sled that was trailing behind the four wheeler. He then picked up Shimmer and put her in the sled as well. With no more room in the sled, he quickly checked over the other pets, who he saw would be able to walk back to the Ranch. He whistled to Nass, but the horse was still too panicked to listen to anyone so Mark commanded Rollin to lead the horse back to the Barn. Mark talked to his son, and his voice was edged clearly with concern and worry for him and the pets. He drove the four wheeler back to the Ranch slow enough so that Ivy and Shimmer wouldn't fall from the sled, and so that Abigale, Timber, and Cronus could keep up.
Rollin ran over to Nass, who was just now getting up. For such a large animal, a fall like that had knocked the wind out of him. But now he was up again, and running across the field. Rollin ran along side his frightened friend until the horse had calmed down. Then he was able to guide him back to the Barn.
She licked her leg cleaning the wound and then she licked her shoulder as she and Ivy got pulled back to the ranch by the sled.
She laid on the sled, her eyes half closed as they went back to the ranch...
