Vovin

Vovin, the timber wolf/alaskan malamute cross, walked quickly into the ranch area. His nose picked up many new and known scents. Other dogs, humans, cats, horses, hay, wood, grass, and everything else he smelled, he liked. He howled mournfully. He wanted a home. He didn't exactly look like a wolf, but did look like the malamute a lot more. He knew most of the dogs here were border collies, but he didn't care about that. He wanted to protect, and live out his life with no more sarrow, He howled again mournfully and then sat back on his haunches and waited for a human to come.

Martha

The wife of the ranch was busy planting a flower and herb garden when howl startled her. She jumped up and whirled around, spotting the hybrid. She caught that mournful note in his howl, for she had heard such noises before. She crouched slightly and patted her hands to her legs, in a gesture to invite Vovin closer to her. Seeing him sitting back on his haunches made her think right away that he wasn't here to simple attack her and run about in havok. And with the loss of so many of her dogs, she always welcomed new ones.

Rihanne

Hearing the howl, little Rihanne got up painfully, determined to defend what was left of her family. Those howling, snarling fiends had already taken Becca from her. They would not take Martha as well! Waiting for her blackened vision to clear, she limped painfully to the doorway. Seeing the hybrid in the yard, she went to bound of the porch, for the moment forgetting her injuries. She landed in a disgraceful, whimpering heap at Martha's feet, but managed to growl and look fierce all the same. Her message to the newcomer was clear: try anything, and you'll PAY.

Vicious

Grizzle brute trotted into the land. He was stained with blood from a hybrid dog and a human child. The whole front part of his chest was crimson from his fight. He stood 3 ft to the withers, and with his hunger he weighed 170. Normally weighing 200 with his muscled body. His right eye was missing and his left eye was as yellow as the sun. In his mouth, he carried the human child's body. The one he just killed. He froze as he come into site of the trio. Though the she wolves arn't what caught his attention. He began to growl in delight to another human. Another prey for him to kill. He wanted his bounty to be the highes. He smelt the hybrid, close to the one he had just distroyed. Though he was just wanting to kill the human. And after he would go to the cow pasture to mangle some of them and get his fill of accual -food- for the week.

Aidan

The large hybrid had heeded the call as well, bringing his ebony-brown form towards the group in a set of lengthy bounds. He stopped beside Martha and Rihanne. He glanced at the bandaged youngster with wonder; he hadn't gotten much of a chance to get to know her yet! But his attention quickly turned to Viscious, seeing he carried a young human. Aidan figured, like Martha had, that Vovlin was no threat.

"You low-down scum!" Aidan bellowed and launched his bulky bodice towards Vicious. His jaws were sprung open as he ran and held low to the ground where there was no spot to aim directly for his throat. Propelled by wolfishly-large paws and long legs, he drove straigh on towards Vicious, aiming to plow the canine over and send him off his feet. His jaws snapped out, but not for a grip; they meant to slash at his flesh where ever they met.

Vicious

His single eye narrowed on the second hybrid. Maybe he could take this one down as well. But he was already tired from fighting the other. Would that matter? probably not. Instantly he dropped the human corpse and sprung into the air. Hopefully high enough to be out of reach of the other brute. Though as he jumped, he opened his large gapping trap, hopefully, like the other, to grab his face. Though through all aiming, he was ready once again to aim for this brutes eyes.

Rihanne

The little pit mix spotted the wolf instantly. She cut her soft whimpering and stood, swaying a little, to put herself firmly between Martha and the wolf. She could do little good so injured, but she would die before she let Martha get hurt.

Aidan

Aidan felt teeth tear across his face, but they were both jumping so strong towards each other that there was no hold to get. Aidan whirled around once he got his feet under him, blood beginning to trickle down his face as a snarl played on his muzzle. "You've picked the wrong one to mess with." he warned and lunged at Vicious, trying to shoulder and throw him off his feet. His jaws once again struck out, not for a hold, but to tear across the flesh of the wolf's lower legs.

Vicious

Savage brute threw himself back to the other once again. He noticed this time the hybrid was not protecting his throat. His head lowered to protect his own, and lunged for the others throat. Though with the should throw, he was flung around. But did he successfully grab the other neck while it was attacking him?

Rihanne

Little Rihanne began to back into Martha, herding her toward the house, where they could shut the door and be safe. At the same time, she barked for anyone who was listening, humans or other ranch pets. She could not help Vovin in her condition, and she wanted to make sure someone would.

Timber, Abigale, & Martha

Martha was startled by the fright and in shock to see the dead human child. She screamed and almost ran forward to see if the child was alive, but Rihanne was there, herding her back to the house. Numbly, she allowed herself to be brought back into the house where she came to her senses. She called frantically for her husband and son, knowing they were outside somewhere, but she doubted they were within hearing range. Finally she pulled the door close and called 911. She looked bleakly out the window, shuttered, and turned towards Rihanne. Trembling, she crumpled to the floor and stretched out her hand to pet the dog.

Timber and Abigale were returning, looking as dismal and down beat as a collie. But at Rihanne's barking and Martha's screams, new energy shot through them. They tore across the ground, quickly spotting Aidan and Vicious. Timber snarled, throwing his hackles up and laying his ears back. He rushed upon Vicious, snapping for his face and muzzle.

Abigale bounded past Vovin, seeing he was causing no harm, and went for Vicious as well. Her fangs went for his throat... she was crazy, literally. Becca had died right in front of her, at least she thought. That was the last straw for her.

Rihanne

Checking to see that Martha had closed the door, Rihanne turned her attention to comforting the distraught woman. Now was the time to be cute and cuddly and reassuring. When the woman crumpled and held out her hand to pet the little dog, she obligingly nudged her head into the caress, climbing into the woman's lap, whimpering in slight worry. She waggled her stump of tail a little, making a puppy grin, opening her orbs wide so that Martha could see the ebony depths behind the chocolate iris. She looked the picture of her cocker spaniel mother, a sweet natured little thing.

Aidan

He felt the teeth close about his throat and he gave a violent yank back to pull his vitals out of reach before it was too late. But seeing his friends arrive, he didn't give up the fight. He still bit onto what ever he had gotten and thrashed his head.

Vicious

He roared as the other got away, then watched as the other two came at him. -Damn it- He thought and yelped as the one dog tore across his face. Though he shook off the pain, knowing he wouldn't be able to beat all three. Where the hell was that she wolf when he needed her. His tail never clamped down, though he knew he wouldn't be able to beat all three of these dogs. Looking at the childs body one last time, he darted for a decent open spot and dashed out of the land as quick as he could. His face bleeding, and his back a little gored from the two brutes.

Aidan

Aidan picked himself up quickly, looking about and watching Vicious retreat. He was about to speak when a very faint call came to him. "Oh no..." he looked apologetically to Timber and Abigale, "I will be back soon. I promise." Without so much as an explination, the hybrid dashed out into the wild lands.
