Ghost

The she-wolf walks into the unfamiliar lands, her walk had a little limp to it, she sniffed the air, the smells of dogs, humans, cats, and little rodents filled her nose. She walks around pawing at the ground looking for something to eat, she went around a corner and seen dog paw prints, she sniffed them, they were fresh, then she looked up and saw the dog, she growled and pinned her ears against her head, but then thought better of it, for a human might come out from nowhere and shoot her so she backed up, and continued to look around for some food.

Koren

.>.The young wolf leaps off the porch to approach the female. Auds lay flat against his skull as ivories are bared.
What do you want
He challenges defiantly. Bright blue orbs scan the older femme slowly with distaste.>.

Ghost

She looks down at the youngin' then growls back.
"I came here to look for food, I don't want any trouble, and besides what is a wolf like you, doing with humans?"

becca

*large hybrid leaps out from behind the older wolf. swiftly she tries to land on her tailbone and then moves quickly aiming for her neck. she backs off a bit waiting for anything*

Koren

.>.Studying Becca, he glared as she returned to face the white female. No, he wasn't go to stay forever. Koren had special plans, which he had been willing to share until Becca came. He couldn't let her know.
I stay because I just do. What else do I have to say?
Locking eyes with the older femme the was a hint of falseness in his tone. Stepping back, the youth lowered himself to the ground preparing to pounce.>.

becca

*she glared at koren. she heard the falseness and leapt at him.* he was going to make all wolves come here and kill them all at least her thoughts. she pins him* what are you lying about *she guessed* i knew you were lying

Abigale & Cronus

Abigale and Cronus came soon enough. Both collies had been resting on the other side of the house, near the back door.

Abigale rounded the side of the house in time to see Becca leap at Koren. Her hackles raised a bit, but to no one in particular. Becca, as Abigale saw, wasn't trying to hurt Koren. The she-collie turned her dark eyes to Ghost next, and a deep snarl issued from her throat.

Cronus watched Koren, and a smirk was etched over his muzzle. The adolescent dog then looked to Ghost, growling like his mother.

Koren

.>.He had had it.
kill you all? How could I plan something like that. my pack isn't even fighting fit. Their busy trying to save our allies butts!
He snarls. Closing his jaws around her leg, he squeezed tightly until she would release him. Suddenly he lessened his bite. Rage was free, his uncle would show them not to mess with the White River Pack. Trying to slither out of Becca's grasp, he set up an eerie howl, their pack's trademark howl. Soon enough his uncle would show up.>.

Ghost

The she-wolf’s hind quarters went down as the other hit her, but when she say the humans, and dogs come along, her ears went flat to her head, her tail went down, she growled, all she was looking for was a bit of food, not anything more, just maybe a little mouse or something like that, but she couldn’t get that here without the humans trying to kill her. Ghost limped around the two fighting, and walked towards the humans, when she got close, she laid down, her tail laying beside her leg, as she whimpers, she had little strength, she was starving to death, within days she might die if she didn’t get food.

Abigale, Rollin, Cronus, Elsa

Abigale growled still at the wolf, but didn't attack. It was obvious to her now that Ghost was thin, and perhaps the reason she dared to venture so close to the ranch house. Just then, Abigale's mate showed up. Trotting swiftly through the snow, he approached the scene with his hackles raised but didn't growl yet. With his tail and ruff up, he stalked towards Ghost, "Our masters don't take kindly to having wild wolves like yourself on their property!"

Cronus still growled. His sister Elsa soon came to see what was going on, but like the others, she didn't growl. She padded timidly up to Ghost, "If you're hungry, you can have some of my food." Abigale looked down at her daughter with warning eyes, "Elsa, it's not our job to be feeding wild wolves." Elsa pawed at the ground nervously, "I know... but she's hungry."

becca

*she felt no pain if there was she ignored it. looking at the pup she knew koren was planning something. *putting her paw on his mouth to make him stop that stupid howling.*

Rage

.Rage stood immobile in the dense brush. He spotted Koren and the hybrid holding him down. Stepping out the bushes, the adult wolf approached the human pets and the two wolves slowly. Stopping before Becca, he lowered himself and caught her leg between his jaws. Snarling, he jerked his head to the side, attempting to get her off Koren.

Rollin, Abigale, Cronus

Abigale wasn't about to let her adopted daughter be attacked. The collie sprung off the porch and catapulted her light body at Rage and slashed with her fangs across his shoulders.

Rollin, fearing that Rage and Ghost might be working together to attack the ranch, rushed towards her. He snarls fiercely and raises his head high above the wolf, "Don't move!" he would keep his eye on Ghost.

Cronus's short temper was lost. I knew it! The adolescent thought to himself bitterly and made his way for Koren, jaws gaping open. When he got closer, the young collie picked up sudden speed and rushed at the wolf, trying to knock him to take him by the throat.

Ghost

When Rage came out of the bushes she was surprised, all she came here for was a little bit of food, like a mouse or something, and now everyone was fitting, she didn’t know who any on them where, she had just come to this great land, and wandered here. Ghost looks up at the wolf standing above her, she didn’t want a fight, she had a great pain in her paw, she whimpered and licked it, it was beginning to hurt again.

Fern

She had fallowed after Rage..whom she had meet at the Prairie. She looked for him and saw the other dogs and Rage and Koren. She barked, asking if he would like her help in keeping the collies away...

becca

*yelping and almost flipping she jerked out and aimed harshly for rages neck letting cronus take on koren.*

Ghost

She looked upon what was happening she thought she should leave to go search somewhere else for food, she looks around and spots some bushes she could go through to get away fast, she limped over to them and when she was half way through she turned and looked back on what happening again, she howled, they shouldn’t be fighting! Instead of leaving, she limps cautiously towards the humans and lays down at their feet and whimpers slightly, her paw hurt allot, and she was weak from not having any food.

Mark & John

Mark and John had seen what was going on. While Mark ran to retrieve his gun, John hurried outside. He looked toward Ghost and actually pitied her a bit. She didn't look like any wolf that had attacked the livestock before, so he ventured to reach his head down and pat her head. He only did this because she had come up to him and laid down; never would he just go up to some wild canine and try to pet it.

Mark came out soon enough with his shotgun. Rage was the one he first saw as a threat, but he couldn't safely shoot the wolf with his shotgun, at least not without hurting Becca. Slanting the gun up to the sky, he fired it off as a warning shot.

Ghost

She lifted her head as the human came over, then licked him hand, but when the shot went of she jumped up, and stumbled back, she was shaking badly, frightened, she slithered back into the under brush.

Fern

she snarled when Mark shot his gun, coming out of the bushes, the snow white wolfess blended in with the snow very well. She showed her teeth and the fur on her back stood up, she wouldn't let the humans harm Rage or Koren...

Ghost

She didn’t see any point in staying, she turned and limped off towards where the sheep where being kept, maybe there was a young sheep dieing or already dead she could eat, with in 10 seconds, she was out of sight from anyone.

Rage + Koren

.Rage snarled and backed up, catching Koren up in between his jaws. Koren wriggled free and sprinted over to Mark, jumping slightly when the shot was fired. Rage nudged Fern and slithered into the bushes. Koren stuck his tongue out at his bossy uncle. he wish he had never called him.

Fern

Giving a last snarl the wolfess went into the bushes with Rage, once they were clear of the humans she nudge him, "who is that pup? Is he a relative of yours?"

becca

*growling she followed the enemy until they were gone before heading back to the ranch house. just a few cuts and scratches showed as she loped back.*

Rage and Koren

.Rage glowers and blinks slowly. That was my brother’s youngest son. He and Kehatin have chosen a life with humans. It disgusts me. He answers, making his way to White River Mountain, hoping Fern would follow.

.>.Koren turned, throwing a warning glance at Cronus and stalked off to the other side of the ranch house. When he reached his destination, he sat down, thinking things through. If he wanted to be a human's wolf, he had to keep from fighting with Cronus. Part of him wanted to stay with the two-leggeds and the other part wanted to charge right over to Cronus and challenge him. The youth sighed in frustration.>.

Fern

she shakes her white head, "I don't know how any animal would want to live with humans." she says, also in disgust...she fallowed him to White River Mountain...

Abigale, Rollin, Elsa, Cronus, John, Mark

Cronus was still furious with Koren, and charged after the wolf. Seeing what was about to happen, John stepped in front of the collie's path and caught him firmly by the scruff. Cronus growled softly and strained against his young master's hold. But a few scolding words and a light cuff to his muzzle made him stop quickly. Cronus knew John didn't want him fighting with Koren. Sulkingly, the collie slunk away from the Ranch.

John sighed and looked around. His father had dashed over to the timberline, but Rage and Fern were already gone. Abigale and Rollin milled around for a moment, then had run off towards the Alleys. Elsa came bounding over to John and licked his hand. John smiled at the collie and patted her on the head. Then he walked over to Becca and made sure she had no serious injuries. Seeing that she didn't, he praised her with kind words for being so brave.

Mark spoke a few words to his son, then went out and got on one of the horses, Stable. Then he rode away.

Ivy

the pup ran into the yard, coming from the direction of the cow pasture.. she had been showing Martha that they had brought the bull back. She licked John’s hand, she was getting older and starting to be able to keep up with the other pups...

John, Elsa

John scratches Ivy behind the ears, and speaks kind words to her. He was glad she hadn't been hurt when the other wolves came here.

Elsa bounded over to Ivy, "Some wolves came here, and Becca got mad at Koren! And then Cronus was about to attack Koren, but John wouldn't let him." The young collie spoke excitedly to her adopted sister. "Cronus is awfully angry."

Ivy

She licked John's hand and listened to her sister, "really?" she asks in amazement, "man I wish I would have been here to see it!" she giggles, "do you wanna go play in the sheep pasture?" she asks her sister...

John, Elsa

Elsa waived her brushy tail and yipped happily, "Sure!"

John stretched his arms above his head and yawned. Seeing that everything was going well now, he went back inside.

Ivy

"lets go then!" she giggles and runs towards to sheep pasture...
