Gypsy Song

The elegent Gypsy Vanner mare troted into the Ranch and looked around, she was new to the place but thought this would be a good place to stay for now. She had never actualy been with a human, she was born wild but lived with her mother near a human far but never lived with the four-leggeds that fed and watered the pair. Song troted about letting out a happy nicker, she had been taught to respect humans, but never live with them, odd alittle yes. Pillers brought her to a stop, then she lifted up on her hind pillers as she emitted a loud whinny for any other horse that may live here or be close to the area.

Design

Design, a big and beautiful Arabian/paint horse crossbreed trotted around the corner of the house just in time to see and quickly note this new filly. He stopped at the corner, and his eyes blazed. He had been staying here while the humans were on vacation. He pretty much enjoyed it, but much rucus sometimes occured. He snorted and pawed the ground to let his presence be known.

Gypsy Song

Song was startled when he brute suddenly appeared from around a corner, she reared up into the air and emitted a loud whinny then took off running back the other way. Never had she really been scared like that, she didn't know what to do other then run. Pllers kept up with the beat or her raceing heart. Just as she was going to turn around the barn when she slipped on a small puddle that was still fozer over. Landing on her stomach she rested her head down on the ground and emitted a soft sigh, she took a breath in, there was a small pain in her legs and under belly.

Psyche*Malon*Aralyn

Aralyn was a human...She walked quietly out the door and saw the gypsy vanner. She let out a soft sigh and walked back inside. She had a rope and walked out quietly she gently threw the rope, landing it around Songs neck. She whistled and from behind Design came a large german shephard dog. He simply ran around the large horse with a "'scuse me" and raced to Aralyn.

Psyche also appeared. She was a hispano arabe, although she hardly took after either breed in her. She was spirited, yet serious. Calm yet hyper. She came up beside design and said "Hi. Is she a friend of yours?" she asked looking at Song.

Gypsy Song

When the human came out and threw the rope around herneck, she scooted herself off the ice and onto the dry ground. Just as she was standing up the rope landed on her neck and the dog came, she felt the rope tighten. Suddenly she reared up on her hind haunches and emitted a scared cry. Her twin towers placed back agsinst her skull and her teeth were show in anger and fear. Then Song turned and tried to gallop off, with the rope and human in toe. Even thought she was only a small one, her strength superseeded her, she was could have crushed the dog with her massive weight.

Design

Design shied away at the rope, but instead of running he trotted up to the filly, his brown eyes fixed on the human though. He shook his head and snorted, backing away slightly. He had never came in contact with a human before, but what right did this human have to catch a horse at a ranch? He didn't have an owner, but stayed around the ranch for fun. He turned to the human, his glaring suspicious.

Rusty

Rusty was a big border collie of pure heart and steel. He was a loyal fighter and helper. He was back with other two dogs before he heard this commotion. His legs carried him fast around the house, and he barked three times, each loud and hearty. He wanted to know if these humans here at this ranch would accept him as their pet also. He liked to be a 'guardian'. His black and white fur rustled up as he growled. He wasn't going to attack, but he was always very protective.

Gypsy Song

Nymph stopped and turned back, looking at the human, then she glanced up at Design with a look of confusment and scaredness as if to say 'help me!'. Front pillers lifted her off the ground and her daggers swung in the air. From her maw emitted another whinny. Then she got an idea, if she couldn't get the human to let go willingly, she'd make it. As she came down from her rear, she began to charge straight at the human, disregarding the dog whatever it thought it could do to her.

Aralyn

Seeing the filly didnt need her help Aralyn immediatly let go of the rope. Although it could be hazardus to the small horse. She whistled sharpley calling Psyche. She grabbed the mares mane and got on her bareback, and no bridle. She kicked and raced to Song seeing the small filly rear Psyche stopped abruptly almost disloding her rider. Psyche reared also showing she was much more powerful. Much angrier, than the small flicka before her.

Malon was about to charge but saw that Psyche had everything under conrtol. He turned and saw Rusty and trotted over. "Hey....Im sure she will let you stay with her if you want. Aralyn helps any animals...." It was true. Aralyn had thought that Song may have hurt herself in the fall and had come to help.

Gypsy Song*Equirace Gypsy

Flika stopped in her path and stomped her front shoe then snorted hard. She had hurt herself in the fall, she hated showing it, but she held up her back left piller slightly. It had began to hurt more since she reared on her legs.

Then out of no where another Gypsy Vanner came into sight, she was much larger then Song, and bigger then the dumb Arabian. She reared up and came crashing down emitting a hard snort and glared harshly at Pshyce. Then she walked over to her little sisters side and stomped the ground hard.

Rusty

Rusty wasn't to sure of this. He stopped his growling and stood there silently, his mind deep in thought.
"I had thought of staying here, though, if these humans would allow it. Unfortunatly, they are not here now. I would be glad to go with just about any nice human."
Rusty stepped back, and then sat. He was still in deep thought.

Aralyn

Psyche snorted and turned Aralyn still on her back. Most humans would have given up. Aralyn just had a new idea. Spotting Malon she whistled shriily.

Malon turned to Rusty "Wanna home? Prove yourself worthy to her. She needs help with something. Just do what I do ok?" he trotted towards the horses almost crawling. He growled slightly and glanced back to see if Rusty was behind him.

Shadow and Ammon both came racing around the corner barking shrilly at the horses. They werent Aralyns dogs but they listened to her. Ammon Went around Song barking and snapping her border collie showing.

Shadow came next to Rusty serious and challenging. She basically ignored him until Malon shouted "Shadow! Hes friend not foe." she glanced at him and nodded to the left. "Listen to the whistles. She wants us to seperate them." she said to Rusty.

Rusty

Rusty nodded and turned attention back to the horses. He crawled low, growls emmiting from his throat. His eyes shown no fear as he crouched there. He had the agility and smartness to break up a horse, though he never did try it. He noted. He noted to keep track of things that would happen. He waited for another to move before doing same.

Malon

Malon barked loudly and turned to Aralyn for further instruction.

Shadow swore under her breath. "Malon! Wheres Talon, Flame and Fly?" The large shepherd said in reply "I dont know im not there baby sitter!" another border collie came flying around the corner. "IM here!" the smaller collie said. Fly suited him. He never knew how to walk. Always run, always race.

Aralyn whistled sharply. "Malon! Down! Akira takeen Shadow!" Malon layed down quickly. Shadow however stopped dead and whirled around and began circling the two horses. "Fly! Away!" Fly obediantly went away from Aralyn behind the horses. He barked sharply at the horses. She whistled at Rusty. "Come around!" she called hoping the dog would know to come around so he was in front of the horses

Rusty

Rusty listened and obediently circled around the horses to their front. He still growled slightly. He had never done what a human said before, but he had done it a long time ago when he was a pup in training. He had forgotten some of them, but he would just have to learn in time. He was used to challenges. He could be a good protector when ordered. His body was also still slightly lowered. He waited for the next command.

GS*EG*RE*Ghost*Mitya*Dakota*Ice

Gypsy Song became suddenly alarmed by all that was happening, all she wanted was to get free from the human. When the wolvies began to circle them she kicked out if any came to close, or bit at them with her pearls.

Equirace kicked out at Rusty suddenly as he was behind her with no warning, her aim was percise. After she kicked out at him she reared up and walk forwards two steps then came down, she wouldn't take this from no pets. Then she left out a cry for help because she knew that she couldnt fend off all the dogs by herself.

Then crashing threw the bushes came four wolvies. Alphess Ghost snarled at the pets as she came from behind the horses. "I sugjest you leave them alone before you get hurt pet." She snarled at them. Nymph would not let her friends get hurt over a stupid reason. Limbs carried her so she stood in between the two mares.

Ridged Edge snarled at them and came around the side were Rusty had just come from. The wolf bareled down on the pet and lept at him, but then quickly landed infront of him instead of on top of him. "You must have a death wish." He snapped, his fangs almost bitting on the others nose as he spoke.

Mitya and Dakota came on the other side of them, heading any off if they tried to circle and come up behind Ridged Edge.

Silently and unnoticed by anyone, in the shadows crept a figure behind the human. His scent could not be smelt by any one that was from the human forward. He lay silently in the depths of the shady wooded area.

Rusty

"Your talking to the wrong dog if thats the way you want to talk. Beat it or face death itself."
His eyes widend in anger and his growls increased with power. He was stronger than any wolf he had ever met. He raised his bushy tail high in an offending way. He bared his sharp needle-like teeth at the wolves. If Kodiak was here, these wolves would be sorry.
"This human means no harm to these horses."
His growling increased even more. He lashed out at the wolf in front of him with bared teeth aiming to bite anywhere.

Aralyn*Psyche

Silently a white wolf padded into the area a bewildered expression on her face. "What in the hell is going on here?" she snapped. Aaka turned angrily to Mitya but let it slide. She prefered not to be around any of her enimies especially with the human. She growled softly and leaped hard landing near Ridged Edge "Care to explain?" she said cooly.

Aralyn saw the wolves and everything else that was happening. She let out a sharp whistle again. "Malon Fly Shadow-" she was cut off by Psyche rearing suddenly. Aralyn let out a yelp and gripped Psyches mane tightly. The arabian andalusian cross did not like so many dogs. She could put up with at least five. But this was exceding her limits. She danced in circles a few times and caught the scent of another...she just didnt know what direction it was in. She let out another cry and reared this time Aralyn more prepared. She knew when it was time to go. The rope being still around the fillys neck though....She had tranquilizers but not enough for all that were here. She whistled again. "Rusty!" she called. it was the first thing that popped into her mind...."Ammon come!" she said. But Ammon wasnt finished. She was just getting started. Seeing Ghost she snarled. Ghost was nearest her....Seeing what her dog was about to do She whistled even sharper. "Malon!" she said. This was out of hand. Even Aralyn knew when to accept defeat.

Ridged Edge

He snarled as the others claws jus barly scratched his nares as he pulled back. This brute didn't know what he was messing with. Edge wasn't just a wolf he was a massive one. "It may not but it is sending its pets after them." He snarled. He rose to his full height and looked down at the pitiful dog but was careful to protect his throat.

Rusty

Rusty had made his move when he heard Aralyn whistle. He obediently walked back and sat a few feet away, because of the horse.
"Well then you might as well consider yourself the 'helper of animals that can defend themselves'. Don't take me as a foolish dog. You wouldn't know what we were doing even if I explained from the tip top to the very bottem."
Rusty turned away and looked up at Aralyn, waiting for her next command, if there any.

GS*EG*RE*Ghost*Mitya*Dakota*Ice

Ghost was about the launch herself at the dog that was closest to her but thought other wise when she seen them retreat. Then when Aaka came into view she turned to her and walked under Equirace and come out and stood infront of Dakota and Mitya. "Your stupid human friend was trying to get her pets to hurt these two for now reason." She growled. Aaka was still Ghost's enemie, but she did not hate her as much, she would though if she knew what had been going on with Legosa.
Mitya snarled and was about to answer Aaka when Ghost stepped in. Seeing as she had a handle on her she stepped around them and sauntered towards the dogs and the humans. "Next time you best leave them alone" She snarled. Turning she loped out, she had better things to do.
Edge rose up on his hind legs and carefully placed his claws on Song's shoulders and chewed off the rope. "Watch yourself young one." He said to her then turned and went back to their packlands, he had a new come to take care of.
Dakota stayed by Ghost and watched as the pets retreated back. There was a little suprise for the human if they attacked the mares or any of them for that matter. After Edge dissapeard, Ice came out from the shadows, his long cougar tail swayed out behind him and as he walked past the human on her horse, he whipped it in the leg. Fangs bared at the horse as he emitted a snarl trying to only to scare the horse so it would run off with the human on it still.

Aralyn

She smiled and said "Good Dog." She hopped quickly off her horse using her as a shield, with Rusty and Malon on her other side. She backed slowly to the house and inside but she held the door open slightly "Come on guys!" she called to all her pets, the new and old. Malon came first then Shadow Fly and finally Ammon growled one last time at Ghost before heading inside. "Coming Rusty?" Aralyn called

Rusty

Rusty watched the wolves carefully before Aralyn hopped off her horse, rather quick. Rusty, feeling concerned, again obediently ran inside. He took one last look at the wolves outside before walking in a ways and sitting down again. He felt something bad was going to happen sooner or later. He still remained sitting, and his tail started wagging a bit.

Aralyn

Aralyn walked over to Rusty silently. She kneeled down and held her hand out to him before patting him gently on the head. "Good boy" she said softly.

Malon turned to Rusty "She accepts you as her pet and friend. Im Malon by the way. Nice to meet you."

A nearly all black female came striding towards Rusty. "Im Shadow." she said in a dominant voice. Malon shook his head. "This is Shadow...dont mind her shes alot nicer than she seems." Malon was the most helpful out of all of them. Shadow was the kindest but always acted like something she wasnt.

Ammon was the darkest out of them all. She lay in the corner glaring at Rusty and the others. Ammon meant Hidde in egyptian. That was what she prefered. To be hidden and left alone. "Ammon...Come on over here and greet Rusty" Malon called. Ammon growled but stood and stalked over to them ears back a vicious look in her eyes. She was the meanest out of all of them. Yet she was also the most loyal. She would be a good friend for Rusty if he would see past her rough exterior. Looks can be decieving....

Malon shook his head. "This is Ammon. She wont bite unless provoked...." he started. "I can speak for myself!" she snapped ath im. Malon looked at Rusty apologetically. She glared at Rusty and said "Nice to meet you" then got up and walked back over to the fire and stared into it intently

~Back outside~

Aaka stood near Psyche. She was friends with the horse. She was friends with many horses. She growled at any who came near but knew the mare could take care of herself.

Psyche reared and struck out. "Happy? My masters gone. And she was only trying to help her" she said glaring at Song. Foolish filly she thought to herself

GS*EG*Ghost*Dakota*Ice

Ice followed the dogs slowly as they went into the house, he emitted a snarl for Rusty. "If your so sure of yourself come to me." He said to him, this dog he didn't like, and would kill it if he wanted a fight since he was so self assured.
Ghost looked at Aaka then at Ice. "Aaka, leave us to our own business, and there shant be any problems between us. Got it?" She slightly snarled then remember something that Aaka had said to here when she had held the small pup captive a little while ago. "Where is this pup you spoke of before?" She asked, Aaka had said that there was a pup that needed a home, she wanted the pup.

Dakota motioned for the mares to follow her out, they could be wild, not human kept.
Equirace Gypsy stood were she was for a moment then nudged Song to follow Dakota, the three of them traveled to the horse lands.

Aaka

Aaka tensed but immediatly relaxed. "Come with me" she said heading towards the silver glades packlands where a pup was waiting underneath a fallen log

Rihanne

Seeing a human face, Rihanne ran eagerly to Aralyn, yipping and whimpering happily. Here was one who made sense. Here was a friendly face. She wagged her tail and made a puppy smile most charmingly.

Aralyn

She smiled at the puppy and opened the door for the small pup. "Come on in young one" she said softly. She loved animals. She reached down and picked the small pup up cradling it in her arms. She welcomed any animal.

Ghost*Ice

Ghost nodded to Aaka and took one last look at Ice. "Go home Ice." She barked at him. Like Aaka could control only her cougar friends, she was the only one who could control Ice without getting her head ripped off. Then she ran off after Aaka.

Ice snarled as Ghost told him what to do, he hated it but minded hs tounge. "I'll be back for you pet." He lashed out, then turned and disspeared into the thick bushs. All were gone and everything had settled except for Ice's temper.

Rihanne

The little hybrid licked Aralyn's hands, happy to find that she was friendly. All the aggression of the afternoon was gone, replaced with a warm glow, knowing she had done her job. Still, she was SOOO sore, and if the woman put her down she would have noticed the bit off portion of tail, and the now significant limp in her left forepaw. She whimpered a little, both out of pain and out of concern for Becca, who as it seems had still not stirred. For it was Becca who was most badly hurt...

Aralyn

Malon turned to Rusty "She accepts you as her pet and friend. Im Malon by the way. Nice to meet you."

At the sight of the small pup at the door Aralyn let her in. She picked the small pup up and carried her over to Malon and Rusty seeing that the two males seemed to get along

Rusty

Rusty nodded. He could get along with any animal, mean or kind. Even a wolf. He sensed that last wolf didn't seem nice at all. He felt better around other dogs. He nodded again and again.
"I am Rusty."
His tail started wagging again.

Becca

Hearing the commotion from her spot in the corner of the kitchen she made an attempt to stand. Whimpering as she felt the pain in her back rise up again but she slowly made her way to the living room. The large hybrid was bigger then the other canines here but right now...shroter since she was leaning foreward a bit sicne it lessened the pain in her back. At least she had company now she had been in here all alone almost forgotten in her mind.

Rihanne

She was overjoyed to see the big hybrid was okay. She hopped up, still limping quite a bit from her forepaw. She wasn't certain whether it was broken or not, but it did hurt. But in any case, she blocked it out and did her best to help Becca, planting her solid bulk on the side where the big hybrid was listing, attempting to support her. She whimpered her concern. "Are you certain you'll be alright?"
