Cronus, Stallis, Nak, Elsa, Mesena

The five pups came running towards the ranch. Their tongues all flopped out of their mouths from the effort it took to run all that way.

Cronus skidded to a stop before Rollin. "Mother told me to tell you that this wolf is going to bring her home, pretending to be hurt. But don't worry, Mom isn't really hurt, she's trying to get our Masters to see that the wolf is helping her..."

Rollin suddenly spoke, "You carry the scent of a wolf who attacked us not to long ago... Pups, stay behind me! We'll see if this wolf is really going to be helpful."

Timber looked towards Shimmer, "I don't trust that wolf that they are speaking of." He stood next to his father. The rest of the five pups crowded around Rollin, Shimmer, and Becca; waiting to see Koda.

Koda

the she wolf did as the collie told her and carried her in front of the big window, fae enough away so they could see her. she whispered to Abigale, Will the rest of the dogs attack? Or have you told them to keep away? she felt it quite easy to carry the collie, if it were one of her own king, she would still be straining in the field. she waited the humans to rush her with another one of their harmful sticks. she stopped still as she seen the sight of the rest of the farm dogs. she awaited their attack on her, and then the humans to attack her as well. her muscles tensed as she awaited the judgment from the humans, and the rest of the dogs.

John, Mark, & Dogs

Abigale let her body slip to the ground, just as she saw the teen, John, and his father, Mark, come outside. They had seen Koda bring their collie towards the ranch.

Slowly, as if she was in pain, Abigale stood up. She pulled one of her front paws up off the ground as if it had been injured. Her ragged fur, which she had made so ruffled, added to the appearance that she had been attacked. Calmly, the collie stood beside the wolf and whimpered lightly for her masters.

Rollin's fur slowly rose high along his back, but he trusted that his mate knew what she was doing.

Mark slowly walked over to Abigale, while keeping his eyes one Koda. He looked over the mauled-up fur on his collie, and frowned in confusion. It didn't look like Abigale was attacked by any dog, or she would have bite wounds on her. Perhaps, he thought, she had gotten trampled by the cows... that didn't make sense to him either. But whatever happened to her, it seemed that Koda carried her back to the ranch, and that Abigale trusted the wolf. Slowly, Mark reached his hand over towards Koda, seeing if the wolf was vicious or not.

Meanwhile, John stood beside Rollin and the pups, glaring over at Koda. He knew she was the one who attacked his dogs earlier, and he didn't trust the wolf.

Shimmer

"I dont trust her either Timber. Lets keep our guard up when she’s around." Shimmer whispered in reply.

Ivy

she stood close behind Rollin and looked up a John...she had never meat this human before....she wagged her tail slowly....

Koda

Koda felt like she was supposed to bite the human. she groaned to herself, a disgrace to the wolfs, oh well. she began to wag her tail, although she found it quite difficult. she waited for the boy to touch her, then to back away again. she looked at Abigale, and sent her a message that the humans couldn't hear, Will they hurt me? she looked expectantly into her eyes before returning to the two-leggers. she knew the one behind did not trust her, but he didn't know, that she did not start the fight, it was his own dogs. she waited the judgmental view of the humans, before she reacted to the touch. looking to the dogs, she braced for an attack, but any of them.

Shimmer

She was glad John felt the same way as her and Timber. She could sense it. Koda had started the fight by messing with the cats. She snorts slightly untrusting of Koda.

Mark, John, Dogs

Abigale replied quietly to Koda, "They will not hurt you unless you do something wrong."

Mark gave a smiling grin and patted Koda's head roughly. The man then pulled back and gave a heavy sigh in relief. Just at that moment, his son spoke out.

The son and father argued for a moment, with John casting cold glares towards Koda, and Mark looking over at the wolf with some hesitation. Finally, it seemed that Mark had won the argument, for he went inside. John seemed quite ruffled, and his face sent a clear message to the canines that he was angry. The teen stalked over to Abigale and scratched behind her ears and spoke some words to her. He examined her paw, which wasn't injured as far as he could see. Frowning in confusion like his father had done, John finally patted her on the head once more and went inside. He didn't pay any attention to Koda.

Abigale nodded to Koda then, "It seems that Mark trusts you, but not his son, John. You will need to earn his trust, I think."

The collie then padded over to her mate and many pups. Her limp and all other signs of injury simply melted away, except her mauled-up fur. Abigale nuzzled Rollin, and spoke in a whisper so that only he could hear her, "I feared she would attack our pups, so I promised I'd try to get the humans to accept her." Rollin nodded slowly, "I'm sure you did the right thing." he nuzzled her briefly, then sat down and looked over the many pups. "My, how many of you there are! Is anyone up to play a game?"

Ivy

she ran up to him..."I wanna play a game!" the smaller puppy yipped...she thought of Abigale and Rollin as her mother and father but didn't know if she should call them mamma and daddy or not...

Koda

finally a home, she watched them start the game before leaving. her large paws kicked up dirt as she left them. she needed to take care of her business, and rid herself of the, to her, horrible human stench..

Shimmer

She snorted and growled slightly as Koda left for she didn’t trust the wolfess at all. She wanted to play but would rather go explore. She pads over to Timber and whispers. "Im gonna go see the crows. They can show us some cool stuff like last time. You up for it." She whispers.

Rollin, Abigale, & Pups

Timber watched Koda leave, and wrinkled his muzzle in a disdainful growl at the wolf. When Shimmer approached him, the pup waived his tail and spoke in a whisper as well, "Yeah, that sounds like fun! Where do you suppose the crows are?"

Mesena suddenly charged at her father, yipping. She launched her little body at his, and snagged her tiny teeth in the thicker fur around his ruff. Elsa was quick to join in, and she attacked her dad from the opposite side.

Nak grinned, waving his tail wildly. He looked over at Becca, "Let's tackle him!" the wiry pup bounded over to Rollin and nipped at his tail, then tugged on it.

Stallis paused a moment, then nodded to Ivy with a grin, "I bet we can all bring him down." his grin broadened a bit, and the pup dashed over to his father and ran head-on into his legs, trying to make him loose his balance.

Cronus sat down and tilted his head to one side and watched. Perhaps he would side with his dad on this one, and attack his siblings. Undecided for the moment, the pups sat and watched the melee.

Shimmer

She yips. "Maybe they are at the sheep pasture." She whispers to Timber excitedly.

Ivy

she tackles Rollin with the others wagging her tail...

Rollin, Abigale, & Pups

Timber nods to Shimmer, and glances back at his father. Rollin was busy with the rest of the pups. With a grin, he sprinted off for the Sheep Pasture, hoping the crows were there.

Rollin fell down with all the pups attacking. He feigned snaps here or there, but never actually hurt any of the pups. Rollin play-growled and tried to shake the pups off him and stand up.

Stallis and Nak teamed up to attack their father's ears. Mesena and Elsa went for his sides.

Cronus paused a moment, then padded over to the melee. He suddenly tackled Nak, and the two began to mock fight.

Ivy

Rollin had shook her off sense she was small....she barked at him smiling...

Shimmer

She smiles and makes sure no one sees her as she sprints of after Timber.

Rollin & Pups

Rollin shook his head, trying to dislodge the two pups mauling at his ears. Then he swung a paw at Ivy and rolled her across the ground. He did the same to Elsa and Becca, then tried to run from them, although at a slow pace that they could keep up with.

Ivy

she rolled to a stop and jumped up..running on her short little legs trying to catch Rollin...

Rollin & Pups

He easily outruns all of his pups, but then purposely slows down so that they are all able to catch him again. Suddenly, Rollin pauses and looks over his pups, "Shimmer? Timber? ...." he looks around more frantically, "Where are they?" The father turns his head, and scans the yard with his eyes, but doesn't see his two missing pups.

Ivy

she pads up.."I don't now were they went papa"

becca

*padding out from behind the house she walks over to them. sitting down she lays and rolls over.*

Rollin, Abigale, Pups

Hearing the frantic call of some sheep, Abigale springs up and heads for the Sheep Pasture.

Rollin smiles slightly, hearing Ivy call him 'papa'. He liked to know that she thought of him as a father, for he thought of her, Shimmer, and Becca as daughters. But Rollin was worried again, not knowing where Timber and Shimmer were. "Did anyone see them leave?" the collie asked his pups.

Cronus, Nak, Stallis, Elsa, and Masena all shook their heads.

Ivy

she shook her small head.."should we go to the sheep pasture with mama??"

becca

sure

Rollin & Pups

He nods to Ivy, "Yeah, lets go there. Be careful." Rollin sprinted for the Sheep Pasture, but went slow enough so that Ivy and the rest of the pups could keep up.
