*Humans*

A large pick-up truck comes rolling down the gravel road to the ranch. It stops, and two men and an old bloodhound get out. Having seen them pulling up, the husband and son of from the ranch come out to greet the two. They talk for a few minutes before walking around to the back of the ranch house where you are. The four humans and hound dog stay back far enough so you can't reach them, and begin talking to each other again, and looking at you often. The old hound lies down and watches you, but seems more lazy than anything.

The son runs inside after a while and returns with a piece of uncooked steak. He tosses it at Isia, and the humans stops for a moment to watch you.

Isia

Isia pulled her ears down and hung her tail low. She huddled near the tree; the only protection she had. Her light yellow eyes focused on the many humans, but she saw no guns or any other objects. Sure there was a dog, but he seemed more interested in sleeping than bothering her.

Isia glanced at the meat that was thrown. It smelt better than any meat she ever smelt before, but it did come from the humans. Still, she had nothing to lose. Creeping forward, the wolfess took the meat and sprinted back to her tree. True to the expression, she 'wolfed' down the food, all the time watching the humans. When finished, Isia licked her muzzle and continued to watch the men.

black fyre

*growling noise came from the bushes. a black wolfess walked out of the bushes growling. she was snarling showing off her canines. they wouldn't do this to a now fellow pack member. she said to the other wolfess* I'll be back *with that she ran off*

*Humans*

The old hound bays deeply at the wolf, but doesn't follow after. The husband says something, and the son runs inside once more. Soon, he comes back out with a shotgun, and hands it to his dad. The humans talk to themselves, sounding more than angry.

They didn't go after Black Fyre though. They noticed she had a tracking collar on.

black fyre

*something black with red orbs lunged out at the hound then ran back downwind back into the bushes with a snarl*

*Humans & Hound*

The hound bays louder and jumps to his feet to run after you. His master calls to him, and commands him to come back. Reluctantly, the hound pads back over to the humans. He was too old anyway to get into a fight with a healthy wolf.

"Why are you hanging around here, wolf?" he growls. He knew it was the wolf that had ran by before, but now he couldn't see her.

black fyre

*walks back out and stands ready by her wolf member whining she tries to chew off the chain. always keeping her red eyes watching the humans*

*Humans & Hound*

The husband raises his shotgun, aiming it directly at Black Fyre's head. He doesn't pull the trigger yet. Even if he aimed right at Black Fyre, Isia would be hit as well. He had planned to keep her. He held the gun aimed at the wolf for a moment, then set it down again. He spoke to his son briefly.

The younger human ran inside, and returned with a riffle. This way, the bullet wouldn't scatter like a shotgun. He aimed it once more at Black Fyre, but not at her head. This time, he aimed at her side, around her shoulder and fired... If she was quick, Black Fyre could get out of the way just as the man aimed the gun.

Isia

Isia saw the gun being aimed. She had seen guns before, and what they could do to living things. Isia suddenly snarled and barked savagely while lunging at the humans as far as her chain would permit. She hoped this would at least startle the human so his aim was off and he wouldn't hit Black Fyre.

black fyre

*bounced out of the way of the gun and into the bushes once again disappearing.*

*Humans*

The human frowns, then lowers his gun. He watches Isia a moment, seeing how aggressive she got when the guns were raised. The man handed the gun to another human who hid it behind his back. They waited to see what Isia would do.

black

*not happy they were teasing isia she lunged from behind the man holding the gun with surprise and no sound. then ran back in the bushes hiding once again.*

*Humans*

The man is thrown to the ground, flat on his face. Another man snatches up the gun and shoots at Black Fyre, but misses. He watches her disappear into the bushes. The humans talk to each other angrily. They look back over to Isia, then they all go inside, closing the door behind them. The hound goes inside as well.

Isia

Isia snarls and snaps her fangs in warning to the humans. She watches them go inside, and soon stops her snarls. The wolfess pads back over to the tree and sits back on her haunches. She begins to howl mournfully, missing her pack and the freedom she once had.

*Humans*

The humans had called a wildlife service, and asked about their wanted wolves. They found out that Isia was one of them, as well as Black Fyre. While they couldn't do much about Black Fyre because she wasn't captured, they could do something with Isia. They also found out she was part of a wolf pack that had been known to kill several humans. They had a plan.

The humans walked outside, staying just out of Isia's reach if she were to go to the end of her chain. One human held a gun behind his back.

Isia

She hated the way humans stood there and watched her. With a defiant snarl, the small wolfess charged the humans again. When she reached the end of her chain, she snapped at the humans in warning and raised her fur. She was furious.

*Humans*

The human with the gun suddenly swings it and brings gun down heavily across your head, sending you to the ground, stunned. Before you can do anything, the hit you again. For a moment, you cannot move, and the humans take the chain off you, but leave the collar on. The humans aim the gun at your side, and pull the trigger. The wound will be fatal, but you still have some time to get out of the Ranch.

Isia

She yelped as the first blow hit her, but hardly felt the second one. Just as she was getting up, she heard the deafening boom, and felt the searing pain in her side. Isia yelped again and looked at the humans with wide eyes. Noticing the chain was off her, the small wolf made a mad dash back to her territory.

*Humans*

The two humans and the hound that had come earlier now returned to their truck and drove off. The husband and his son returned to their ranch house, safe from the wolves. They hoped that Isia would make it back to her pack, as a sort of warning not to mess with humans anymore. Or, it would lure them to the ranch where it would be much easier for the humans to capture or kill them.
