Sahena

_\|/_ The lone she-alpha slowly stalked up to the tall fence of the sheep pasture, her nose twitching violently at the engrossing scent of the sheep. It was both tempting as well as nauseating. She tilted her head down and moved it to the side, glancing behind her as she took a few steps back away from the fence. She took one large step forward and lifted herself off the ground with her hind legs, easily clearing the fence, landing softly in the short grass of the pasture. She knew how sheep acted, they were very timid...and stupid, they wouldn't run at the first sign of danger, they'd rather clump together. Softly she moved forward, her ears twitching catching the sound of something...or things moving ahead of her. Her large paws graced the ground, pressing on it softly. Her eyes, nose, and ears searched for whatever was in there. Her target was an adult sheep. _\|/_

Koda

Koda watched from behind, downwind from the other, making sure she kept as quiet as possible she followed the other. She could tell the sheep had noticed the invader as well. She slipped underneath the second row of wire, and over the first. Barely fitting between the two. She kept her footing, making sure she didn't step on a stick, or kick a rock. She slipped into a bush, shaking it slightly, but not much. She could see the female by the glint in her eye that she had already found her target. The massive form of Koda stepped out of the bush and swiftly moved only to stop in front of the other. She stepped away a little, but showed no fear in her pools, nor in her stance. Her tail was held at a position like an alpha's should, although she wasn't. Koda spoke in a raspy tone, a warning tone, and stood still, ready to spring if the moment came that she had too.
Leave, find food elsewhere. I won't hurt you, if you don't hurt me.

Sahena

_\|/_ The she-wolf knew there was someone there, she had always known that someone was watching, and at the faint rattling of the bush she knew someone was there. She acted though as she didn't hear it, continuing forward. Once the canine stood before her she acted entirely calm, her body relaxed but tail raised. Her lips raised to show teeth in both a grin and a show of aggression "Well...I have no intention of harming you, so if you'll just excuse me" With that her head bowed as she lowered her tail only a little to relax it, stepping forward and to the side slightly to pass directly by the canine, no desire to attack._\|/_

Koda

Koda had spotted the other, and a sharp, aggressive bark would hopefully startle she sheep so that the other would not succeed. Koda returned her attention on the other, and once again stepped in between her and the aroused sheep. She could tell be her expression she was just here for food, but there were lots of elk around, they did not sleep during the winter, and they are weak from snow and lack of food. Didn't the other know this? Koda once again check on the other she-wolf, seeing she hadn't yet made another attempt she spoke once more to the one that was yet again before her. Find food somewhere else, like an elk. You and your companion can surely take down a small elk Koda raised her voice when she said companion just to make sure the other knew that she knew she was there.

Sahena

_\|/_ Now Sahena was growing slightly agitated, but kept herself calm, edging herself back a little, her tail flicked upward hinting agitation. Now she was worried...where was the Vatoni...or Keilo? She tried to shake off this mix of emotions and keep herself calm as she shook her body, her heavy fur flying in every direction in unison. She seemed to tense of slightly, as if she was about to spring, though this was a false gesture, she was faking, growling quietly to help make her fake-attacking act a little more convincing "There are no elk, I've searched and searched. There's nothing, I don't want to risk the lives and health of my pack. But there are pups to feed...and they're starving, I can't stand to see them suffer..."_\|/_

Koda

Koda remained still, her legs were shaking now as she knew that this next decision, whatever it be, could change the whole situation. There were three things on her mind, the three decisions she had to choose from, all well with her new lifestyle, but all bad to one of these animals within her life. The first decision was to let her go, and then she could take the sheep she needed, and leave without any knowing. Another she could refuse to move, and maybe end up in a fight with the huntress. And another she could howl and call the other dogs to make the odds in her favor, for right now it was 2-1. Koda had decided, her orbs turned stern once more as the power of the wolf blood flooded through her. She was a true wolf, not a 'pet' and she would prove it. She didn't glare, but held a cold gaze straight into the others orbs, feeling her pain, but remaining true to her decision. She replied coolly, I shall not move for you, or for the other. I remain where I am, to fight, or whatever comes, I shall not move

*Sheep*

The sheep were quite alarmed with the appearance of the wolves. The creatures, daft as they might be, could see the deadly look in their predators' eyes. The first few sheep panicked and began to retreat from Sahena and Koda until they began to flock together with the sheep that were further back and did not panic. The sheep that Wespero had targeted was jostled roughly away before she could reach him when his fellow flock members crowded past him.

There were two sheep on the outside of the worried flock that were weaker than the rest. They had come down with pneumonia, and the biting winter air and this sudden attack by the wolves wasn't making it better for them.

Sahena

_\|/_ The wolf's eyes narrowed as a deep breath was drawn through her dark chocolate nose "How honorable of you...but it appears you've forgotten what it's like to starve. Here, you live easily as a pet, you may think you earn your feed, but you don't...whether you lose a sheep or not you'll still be fed...every night. While my pack suffers, going days on end without food...some occasionally spotting a doe, but they don't share, they take the whole carcass for themselves, we have youngsters...4 at least, I haven't met all of my pack yet. But they must be fed, if I had a safer option to help feed them I would've done it by now. But there isn't" The pups were the main reason she was here, and they were the main reason of her determination, but she also felt she needed to prove herself to her pack, for she was new and not all had accepted her yet. The pack was starving, and needed at least some nourishment, she was hoping this would gain some of their trust. _\|/_

Jarla

The huntress came down-wind of all the other wolfs, she crept forwards towards the fence, silently she jumped over, and landed without a sound. Jarla stalked forwards, moving faster and faster finally running, she was only a few feet from the isolated sheep, she leaped forwards, and grabbed onto one of their necks, she stood strong, biting harder and harder, she shook her head furiously, then she swiftly swing her head hard, trying to flip the sheep.

Koda

It was hard to ignore the ruffling of a sheep being shaken, and koda was quite hurt at her saying that, but she turned roughly towards the other. The fur on her back began to bristle and stick towards the sky, not like a cat, but just limply, her lip curled up to reveal her sharpened ivories. Koda sprang into action and rush the she wolf, at where she thought she could, Koda sprang forward and aimed a deadly bite at the others neck, she could move, but not fast enough with the sheep still in her grip, so it was either pain, or food, you choose. Koda got a more clearer sight of Sahena's companion now, and realized she was not really a threat, and looked forwards again.

Sahena

_\|/_ She saw the violent movements, but it wasn't Wes, that wasn't where she was. Her ears perked up, the isolated sheep were up-wind from her and she caught the scent of another wolf...one that wasn't of her pack. 'The thieving little fox! ..She's taking the sheep I was working for!' she thought to herself and practically leapt forward bounding quickly after Koda to the other wolf. At the other wolf she leapt, jaws agape, aiming at the back of the wolfess over her shoulders to tear her from the sheep that she was planning on taking to the Betas pups. Since the wolf has a sheep in her jaws her teeth hit their mark, clamping down heavily into her fur and flesh. Sahena was a large wolf and her weight alone could easily pull Jarla down. She was growling furiously at the wolfess. For these were here sheep, and if she didn't take food back to the pack the pups would no doubtabley die._\|/_

Jarla

The huntress losses her grip on the sheep as Sahena hits her, she topples over a few times, she stood up, her shoulder bleeding, she lowered her head to is was level with her shoulders, the hair on the back of her neck stood straight up, her glistening ivories showing with a little blood stain on them, a deep snarl was emitted from her throat.*I am not here to steal from you! I am here to help you, and get a little for myself, and the two pups that are starving! I do not need this whole thing, just a little, I will help you, not betray you, and try to steal this sheep.*She looks over at the dog, and growls at her.

becca

*suddenly she jumps on top of sahena without warning. she was a huge hybrid and larger then most wolves now that she had become an adult.*

Sahena

_\|/_ The weight of the new one caused her to slip and fall clear on her stomach with a loud yelp. It was only natural for her to try to get Becca off, at which she started to squirm madly, tightening her legs to raise herself up as soon as Becca fell from her, from her loose shin and fur it was easy enough for Becca to lose her balance and fall to her side, from the fall, she knew Becca would not land on feet, for no one but a cat would from being tossed as they were. She quickly was raised before Becca even hit the ground, her ears telling her which side she fell to and her neck coiled in that direction, snapping blindly with her jaws. Since Becca had merely fallen from her back she was on her side next to Sahena, giving Sahena access to her throat. No matter how the figures added up there was no way to get up, or even roll out of the way before Sahena had her throat. Sahena’s jaws quickly clamped down on Becca’s throat, not hurting, but holding in a threatening manner. This was the exact same thing she did to Cortinarri that caused her to lose her Alpha rank. With Becca's throat now trapped between Sahena's jaws she edged herself so she stood over Becca so there was no way to squirm out from under Sahena, holding her the exact same way she had before. There was no way to attempt an escape without dying, and Sahena's jaws were cutting off Becca’s air so any and all sound she made was very limited. “Why did you attack me?”_\|/_

Koda

Koda looked at the two other wolves, and now becca's mysterious appearance. There was really no way she could have known about the attack, the ranch was upwind, and Koda had not tried to alert anyone else about it. As she touched ground she turned again, wondering what to do, she was now faced with another tough decision. Either she could go for Sahena, and risk her friend gaining even more injury than she had already obtained. And then this fury inside her towards Jarla, a dog, that's what she thought she was. Koda slowed down into a slow jog, eyes locked onto the she wolf, trying to make a gang with the other one, Sahena. Lip curled up once more as she lurched forwards. Since Koda was downwind, the other would not have been able to pick her out off the wind, and being so quiet as she was going slow, if the other was not focused, she would not have been able to hear the faint ruffle of grass as Koda walked. Koda lurched again, throwing her weight forwards and latching on just below the others neck. Koda began to shake her head roughly, hoping to tear the skin. As Koda let go, she watched the other, ready to spring if she tried to attack.

Wespero

Wespero quickly gave up on the sheep she had first targeted. She wheeled around and locked her senses on a new target; the sheep that Jarla had attacked. While her alpha was busy with Becca, and Koda was busy with Jarla, Wespero took her chance. She rushed upon the wounded sheep and attempted to deliver the final death grip to its throat.

Koda

Koda did not catch Wespero until it was too late and she had already lunged at the wounded sheep. Or maybe it wasn't wounded. Koda sprang into action as well, since Jarla had not retracted from Koda's attack, it left her with nothing to do. Koda rushed Wespero, lunged for her neck of which the vitals had not been hidden. She clamped down, hopefully on Wespero's neck. With the sheep still in her grasp, it would be pretty much impossible to have lightening quick moves with a sheep. Again she used this to her advantage and as she came closer, she didn't land on the ground, but threw her weight at the she-wolf, the power of gravity on her side as well, giving her once again the advantage.

Vatoni

She fallowed Sehena's plan and went for the sheep, tying to attack one of the adults by the throat..

Jarla

The huntress laid on the ground, finally she stood up, and looked over at Koda, and Vatoni, she growled, she was wounded, but not out, Koda rear was in perfect possession to attack. She lowered herself, and lunged at Koda, grabbing on to her hind leg, she bit down hard, blood came into her mouth, she whipped her head around and let go, throwing Koda off Vatnoi, she growled, at her then leapt for her throat for she was laying on her back, she bit down hard, if Koda tried to move, her jugular vein would be ripped out and she would die immediately.

Sahena

_\|/_She growled loudly in her standing position, her eyes strained upward to see what was going on. She focused on her hearing most to try to hear what was going on, thinking to herself ‘How hard is this? I got Becca…and she can't howl if she can't breath, someone get Koda and silence her…while the other two take a sheep…’ At this her eyes closed, continuing her thoughts ‘Then the two that got the sheep go over to the fence, one jumps it and the other pushes the sheep up while the other pulls it over…or through…or something.’ A quick breath was released from the dark brown nose, she still stood over Becca, her grip was tight enough that no sound could be made, but she could still breath, there was no way to squirm out from under Sahena unless Becca’s throat would be torn out. _\|/_

*Sheep*

The sheep Wespero attacked was killed quickly as its windpipe was crushed between the jaws of the canine.

The sheep Vatoni went after was also killed, as her fangs severed the vital organs of the neck. The rest of the sheep are almost panicked enough to stampede at this point.

Sahena

_\|/_She utterly seemed to stop breathing for a split second, her mind racing, she was panicked now. The other dogs were coming, the humans were coming...she sheep would trample her comrades. Her eyes darted about the area, looking for something, and spotting an area where the fence was a little lower from being broken by...something, more than likely a branch breaking and being cleared, just not fixed yet. She made no sound, but her apparent desperation was obvious. She had to help, there were two carcasses that had to be taken away…but Becca, if she let go Becca wouldn’t be injured and would attack them. Then it dawned on her, knock her out! With an immense surge of adrenaline she clamped her jaw shut cutting off all of Becca's air, she was trying to make her pass out so she could aid the others in getting the sheep out. The only way to get them out would be to get two wolves to a sheep...they would have to work together to get each of the sheep over the fence, with the four of them they could easily drag them off when they were over the fence. But she couldn't do anything till Becca passed out, which she knew would be soon, for her grip had already deprived her of allot of air, it wouldn't take but 90 seconds at an absolute most. _\|/_

Vatoni

The fallen sheep by the back of its neck, with all her strength she dragged it out of the way of the stampeding sheep..she started to drag it to the fence, she was determined to get it back to her pups and the pack..

Shimmer

She runs in to find the scene. She snarled and ran over to Sahena before she could realize it and jerked back on her neck. She clamped down hard. "Release her." She snarls. Her leg still hurt but that didn't mean she couldn't fight. She bit harder and harder and wouldn't stop till the other released Becca. She glanced at Koren telling him to attack the others. They may have killed sheep but who said they get to take them out of the terrain.

Sahena

_\|/_All Shimmer had was the fur on the back of her neck. Now she growing deeply agitated. Why didn't any understand that they were starving and needed food? They had no concern for their brothers...for all dogs evolved from wolves, and she felt wolves deserved respect...since they were the only creature that hadn't been bent and formed to the humans likings. There were children to take care of and there was no other source of food. The she-wolf snarled through clamped teeth, if she was moved in any direction Becca's throat would be torn out killing her. Her vital areas were lowered and hidden against Becca, so the only way to access them was to toss Sahena over, but in the process that would kill Becca. "No...you release me or else your friend dies...Let us take out well earned meals...and we will leave here without claiming the life of either you or your masters" Sahena wasn't afraid to kill any of them, at this point she was half tempted to kill Becca anyhow just to get it over with and add at least one of the others to the death count. She was growing impatient. "Let...go...I don't know how much you value her life if at all...but I'm two seconds from killing her" She started to shake her head a little, not enough to tear Becca's throat out, but enough to do some damage that would make it hard for her to breathe for a while. "Get off or she dies! I could easily tear her throat out in one motion and in the same movement have yours directly in my jaws..." Sahena knew this was true, for if she rolled onto her back Becca's throat would be gone regardless, and Shimmer would be dragged down if her grip was held and her windpipe would be dangerously close to Sahena's mouth._\|/_

Keilo & Santori

Keilo sprung over the fence and dashed across the trampled snow. Spotting his mate dragging the sheep, he ran over to her. He got a firm grip on the sheep's shoulder, and would help to push it over the fence.

The wolverine, Santori, had followed his friend to the pasture. For his size and appearance, he was anything but slow nor clumsy. After slipping under the fence and leaving a tuft of dark brown fur, the wolverine headed for the other dead sheep. He was strong, but dragging the carcass would be quite a chore. Instead of doing that, Santori clamped down on the shoulder of the carcass. His powerful jaws crushed through the bones while his teeth shorn through the rest of the tissues. In little time, Santori had one foreleg of the sheep. Quickly, he ran back to the fence with the prize and prepared to return to his friend's territory with it, once Keilo and the others were ready.

Sahena

_\|/_ ‘Good, they got the kills though’ She thought, but now Sahena was growing worried. She had two dogs on her already, and she knew the humans were coming. A possible third and even fourth dog was soon to be on her. Were any of them going to try to help her? She could do nothing but stand there, slowly tearing at Becca's throat with the small movements of her head, threatening Becca's life to Shimmer, trying to get Shimmer to let go now. Now she was starting to wonder, if the few members of her pack that had come cared about her life at all. It seemed the sheep dogs cared more about each other than the wolves, the true pack animals that value their ties with other more than anything, cared about her well being...or working with each other. She couldn't let go of Becca, and Shimmer still held her fast, she couldn't move at the moment unless she planned on killing Becca and maybe Shimmer to get away _\|/_

Vatoni

She helped drag the sheep with her mate to the fence. With one strong toss she got it over the fence. Looking over at Keilo, "I've got to help Sehena" she says, motioning towards their alpha...

Keilo & Santori

Keilo nodded then turned to Santori, "Guard the food for a moment." Santori dragged the sheep's leg over to the carcass the betas got over the fence and stood protectively by the food.

Keilo then charged across the field once more without a snarl or growl. While Shimmer had her hold on Sahena, Keilo clamped his jaws down upon her shoulder and shook hard. "Release her!" he snarled through his clenched teeth. He was very much against killing a she-canine, much less attack one. But in this situation, his alpha needed help and they needed to get food to his pups.

Wespero

Wespero crashed to the ground, sending up snow as her legs kicked to regain her balance. She tried to pull her neck away before it was taken, but it was too late. Being on the ground, she kicked with all her force at Koda's stomach.

Sahena

_\|/_ Sahena now had to deal with an inner conflict. She didn't want to kill anyone, but she knew their time was running out The other sheep that had been torn into was now light enough to be carried and moved over the fence. With Keilo here and Wespero fighting with Koda it seemed the odds were in her favor. She loosened up her jaws to bark over at Vatoni "Get The other sheep!" She didn’t mean to raise her voice, but in the situation she needed to be heard and it made sure she was. She now stood there, growing more and more desperate, she didn’t want to kill...but there was also another dog nearby, she could smell him. If Shimmer would just let go they could all leave. She was growing closer and closer to killing at least one of them, she was just waiting till she knew time was truly running out. Her jaws instantly clamped down on Becca's throat again as soon as she finished speaking "Please...let go!"_\|/_

Shimmer

Ahh but she had more then fur. She had Sahena's neck and she could snap it if she wanted to. If Sahena killed Becca then shed kill Sahena for she didn't trust Sahena to let Becca go if she released. She kicked at the wolf to keep him away from her shoulder and snarled. "Release her and I will let go." She snarls.

Sierra

The hurt female wolf tried to grab Becca by the shoulder, even though her back leg was broken and it hurt badly..

Jarla

Jarla looked up at them all fighting, it just wasn’t worth it, she turned and ran off wounded.

Vatoni

She wanted to help Sehena and Keilo but went for the fallen sheep. Grabbing it by the neck she dragged it to the fence were Santori was, "Santori, help me get it over to fence.." she says..

Keilo & Santori

He growled at the kick and shook his muzzle of the sting of it. Again, he took her shoulder, and this time he bit down much harder, but not enough to break any bone. "Release her! The sheep are already dead, and we wish to take no more! Let her go and no one will be killed." His voice was muffled, but still understandable.

Santori quickly slunk under the fence once more, assured that the pets couldn't get to the food since they were busy fighting. He got a hold of the sheep's other front leg and helped to drag it to the fence. Since he was too short to help push it over the fence, he crawled to the other side of the fence, then took the sheep's leg once more in his mouth. That way, he could use his weight as well as his strength to help get it over the fence.

Timber

The boarder collie came bounding across the ground. Timber was still an adolescent, but just about the size of an adult now. He quickly realized Shimmer was in trouble, and ran over to her. "Let them go!" he snarled at Keilo and Sahena. He was afraid to attack Sahena, because of her perilous hold on Becca's neck. The young collie made a swift rush at Keilo to slash with his eyetooth across the wolf's side. Then he would spring away again, before getting attacked himself.

Shimmer

She was glad Timber had come and the humans would probably be here soon. She snarls and tightens her grip on Sahena's neck and bites harder and harder. All she needed to do was release Becca and shed get released. Her air was probably cut off by now.

Sahena

_\|/_ All Shimmer had a hold of was the large mass of fur and skin on her neck. Now Sahena had had enough, she knew by now Becca was unconscious from cutting off her air. In one smooth motion Sahena rolled over onto her back releasing Becca's throat before moving so it wouldn't be removed, and due to the weight from Keilo as well as Shimmer's tight grip on Sahena's neck, Shimmer was pushed down straight down into Sahena's now agape jaws, clamping around her neck now, snarling madly at her, for they were almost out of time. Now her vital areas in her neck were hidden against Shimmer. "Let us go and you will live...We only wish to leave with the dead beasts now..."_\|/_

Koda

Once again Koda found herself in an odd position. More wolves had came, and Shimmer was now in the same predicament that Becca had been in. She didn't want the master to come, no, she would rather have anyone else come, but not him. Koda got a hard kick into her stomach and for a moment she felt quite sick to her stomach. She was out of breath but before she let go she bit down harder to cause even more pain on the she-wolf. Koda whipped around to see the sheep already on the other side of the fence, but they wouldn’t take them away without the rest of their pack. She saw that Jarla had sort of, given up, so Koda started slowly towards a different part of the fence. She slipped under it and started to travel to where the two sheep were being kept. She stopped for a moment as they came into view, and thought of what she might do. Luckily for her, she was downwind once again, this had been her lucky day. Koda crouched, and pounced quick, and with outstretched jaws she hoped to make a tight grip upon Vatoni's neck, the same way she had say Sahena do, so if she made her contact, Vatoni's windpipe would be threatened as well.

Shimmer

She wasn't stupid. When Sahena released Becca she immediately released even though she had more then skin and bones and as Sahena reached for her neck she swiped at her eyes with her paw and leaped out of the way. She rammed into Sahena to knock her over and then leaped the fence and grabbed one of the dead sheep and carried it back into the sheep pasture. She did the same with the other sheep and then snarled and howled for the humans once more.

Keilo & Santori

Keilo had released Shimmer, and snapped warningly at the foolish collie that attacked him. Then he raced across the pasture to where Shimmer was dragging the sheep. He tensed his body as though he was about to lunge at her. But instead of him attacking, his wolverine friend did. Santori krept up behind Shimmer, then clamped his jaws around her hind leg.

"Wespero, help!" he barked urgently, then grabbed the neck of one sheep and began to drag it over to the fence once more.

Shimmer

She yanked her leg out of his jaws which took some skin off and made her hind leg bleed but she ignored the pain and rammed into Keilo to prevent him from taking the sheep. She was a wolf hybrid not just Collie like most of the others on the ranch. She howls again for the humans. One of them should be hear with the gun any second.

Vatoni

She was caught off guard when Koda tackled her, grabbing her by the neck...but she had managed to bark out for help. "Listen, please, we just need these sheep, my pups are starving, your a wolf, you should now what it feels like to be hungry.." she says..

Koda

Koda was quite surprised with herself as she had only bit down hard enough to pierce skin, and then stopped. The wolverine had not made any actions yet, so Koda felt safe to let go. She stood beside Vatoni, knowing the rest were in trouble, she only wanted them to take what they need, and leave and she knew as well how hard it was, but not about the pups, she never had pups. Koda looked at the two sheep, the one the wolverine was on was fat, and could suit them all what they needed to survive. Koda finally decided to speak up. Yes I do...take that sheep, and hide it, then I'll drag the other back in, ok? And we'll need to play it out, but we'd better hide that one first. Koda was slowly walking over to the other one the wolverine was still on. She began to drag it backward, not much difficulty for she had done this many times on her own. Slowly so as to not cause any harm to the wolverine, or to scare it into attacking she hid it, then began to drag the other back in, hoping that Vantoni would trust her for this moment.

Vatoni

She didn't know if she should trust the wolf or not but right now it was worth the chance. She grabbed the sheep and dragged it into the woods, hiding it. Then she went out and grabbed the other sheep and helped drag it into the woods, hiding it as well. "thank you" she says, but then she had to go and help Keilo and Sehena, "I have to go help my pack.." she says...

Shimmer

She snarls. "Go hunt in the wild then. We have a job to and it's to protect these sheep and any other animals the humans want us to protect. And if we did give you the sheep you'd just come back to kill more." She says. She liked pups but she knew these wolves could hunt in the wild.

Sahena

_\|/_ Sahena was now utterly enraged. She had closed her eyes as Shimmer's paw struck her, leaving a slash across her face, her vision undamaged though and quickly rolled over, leaping to her feet and charging after Shimmer. She made a quick glance to Vatoni and Koda. There was no way to know she was coming since Shimmer had just recovered from striking Keilo. She leapt at the canine and struck her head on, causing the dog to roll onto her back, Sahena's jaw swung around, and with deadly accuracy from experience in rabbit hunts, grabbed her throat for sure this time. She wasn't about to let this one live and clamped her jaws together as tight as she could, crushing Shimmer’s windpipe in an instant. Just to make sure this one was as good as dead she yanked her head back, ripping Shimmer’s throat clear off of her. She quickly stood back up and turned towards Vatoni, shooting a quick glance back to the dying dog behind her before turning the Vatoni then to Koda watching the sheep being moved with a look of surprise clear in her posture_\|/

Vatoni

She looked at Sehena, giving her a nod, letting her now that Koda was helping her hide the sheep..

Ivy

The young collie pup bounded into the pasture, seeing Shimmer's condition she snarled at Sehena and charged at her, even though she was smaller than the others, she was getting her teeth and could tear skin...

Shimmer

She wasn't stupid and had attacked Keilo a while ago so she dodged Shahena's whole attack. She smirked and snarled. She wasn't dying today. She rams Sahena again and smirks. "Koda what are you doing!" She barks fully alert.

Shimmer

Shimmer saw Ivy. She was fine and unharmed by Sahena. "Ivy be careful!" She barked. She hoped the humans would hurry.

Koda

Koda looked around, Kielo, Sahena, and Vantoni, who to go for. She saw Sahena dangerously threatening Shimmer, it was a very hard decision for she felt some sort of friendship between herself and this wolf, but she charged and tried to hit her in such away to make her roll. She herself too would have fell, and there fore she tried to get up as fast as she could, and turned to face Sahena again, waiting and ready.

Shimmer

She thanked Koda and snarled at the enemies paying close attention to Sahena incase she should attack again. She snarled. "Leave now." *Where are the humans!* She thought.

Timber, Rollin, Abigale, John

Timber leaped back from Keilo with a growl. He knew full well he couldn't attack these wolves face to face. He had to rely on his greater speed to hurt them. Rushing around Keilo in a circle, he tried to keep the wolf's attention on him.

Rollin and Abigale, Timber's parents, soon made it to the pasture. Abigale charged for Wespero, to try and tackle her. Rollin had seen Vatoni, so he went for Santori. But he had never seen a wolverine before, so he paused a few feet from the creature and snarled warningly at him. He would attack if Santori didn't flee.

John, the teenager, had finally made it to the pasture. After scrambling over the fence and hurried through the panicked flock of sheep to where all the fighting was going on. He couldn't shoot any of the wolves at the moment, in fear of hitting one of his pets. At first, he shot a warning blast into the air. If that failed, he would resort to other measures.

Shimmer

She ran to John knowing she was in the way she wanted to give him a clear shot of the enemies.

Sahena

_\|/_ A quiet yelp left her throat as she was knocked over but as soon as she could she stood up, her head turning and ears flicking up at the sound of the gunshot. She quickly looked back over at Shimmer and snarled loudly “If I ever see you alone...consider yourself dead...You won't always have you human or fellow pets to hide behind..." She made a quick glance around to see where her pack was and barked loudly "We have what we want, unless you wish to die, retreat!" She would be the last to leave, for she wouldn't leave a member of her new pack behind. But she did run towards the fence and leap over it, but from behind it she watched, ready to go back if anyone needed help._\|/_

Koda

Koda watched Sahena run and leap over the fence, she began rushing the others, running at them and nipping them but purposely only getting fur. She didn't go near the wolverine though, because it was quite awkward for her. She made them know she was not to harm them, but still trying to get them out all the same. She knew that John could still get a clear shot at some, and the she realized Becca. She looked over Sierra still had her shoulder in her jaws, and Koda charged, it was better having a ripped shoulder. It took a lot of trouble, but it seemed Becca was starting to become conscious so that helped Koda put her on her back, although it wouldn't be long before she fell again. Koda began going as quick as she could while still balancing Becca atop her towards John, after dropping her beside Shimmer, she ran and began rushing the others once again.

Timber, Rollin, Abigale, John

Timber, Rollin, and Abigale all quite fighting and ran towards their young master.

John lowered his gun now and had a look of utter determination and anger on his face. He tried to aim on one wolf, but they were being rushed on by Koda. Then he set his sites on Santori. The unique fur of wolverines would surely get him some money if he sold it, and shooting the creature would be a sign to the wolves that the sheep were to be left alone. John steadied his gun and fired. Because he wasn't the best of shooters yet, the bullet didn't hit Santori where John intended. Instead, the bullet embedded itself into the wolverine's front leg, just above the elbow. It was lucky not to have broken the bone or severed any vital veins there; but it did tear through many muscles.

Ivy

She snarled at the wolves and ran to John's side..

Vatoni

She howled for her mate to run in a zigzag pattern before she ran over to Santori, "Just be still, I'll get you back to the pack. She lifted the wolverine up with her head and onto her back. then she ran to the fence, zigzagging all the way. When she got to the woods she let him down, "I have to find Keilo, just stay here and hide." She ran out and looked between the fence, howling again worriedly for her mate...

Azja

The dog/wolf came towards all the commotion that was going on, he wasn’t just a mix of a wolf, and one dog, he was part 1/4 wolf and 3/4, he stood at the side of the fence watching, he was 38 in at least, he towered over the average wolf and dog, his height, weight, quickness, aggressiveness, quick reaction, hunting skills, swiftness, and powerful jaws made him almost unbeatable in a fight, he was a true killer.

Sahena

_\|/_ She merely stood there, it didn’t appear anyone was truly in trouble yet and Santori was brought outside of the pen, she brought herself to a run quite suddenly upon realizing that the shot was indeed aimed for him, and might've hit, she quickly moved over to the wolverine as fast as her legs could carry her. Her head turned to John, watching him to see where his gun would be aimed next and she edged herself in front of Santori, her nose twitched, she could smell his blood. Even though she stood before Santori to attempt to shield him from any further bullets she felt awful...why weren't they leaving? "Get out of there" she tilted her head back as she barked loudly, desperation trailing in her voice. If any of them died she wouldn’t be able to live with herself...for it's her job to lead them…_\|/_

Vatoni

She couldn't bare it anymore, "KEIlO! HURRY!" she said in desperation fro her mate to come back safely...

Azja

He looked at the human, then back at the strange hurt creature he ran over, and looked down at it, then over at the huntress beside him, "Where do you live? I will take him back there?” His voice boomed trough the pasture.

Keilo & Santori

Keilo made a dash for the fence. It was too late for him to reach his friend before he got shot. When he was taken to safety, Keilo also jumped the fence and into the safety of the woods. Worried, he kept over to Santori.

Santori laid still, refusing to show anyone the pain that throbbed so much in his leg. He tried to stand, but grunted with the sudden stab of pain it caused his torn muscles. He was very glad the Sahena didn't try to kill him, like he had feared before he met her. But now he hated that he looked so weak in the eyes of the others.

Vatoni

Vatoni nuzzled Keilo, glad he had made it back safely..Then she noticed the other wolf at Santori and walked over protectively, looking at the other..

Sahena

_\|/_Her head snapped to the side looking over at this new beast, her tail flicking upward in response to him. She started at him warily, for this was the first canine she actually had to look up to. She turned her head back down to Santori, could she trust this stranger with him? But with an injured leg she was sure anywhere but here would be safer for him. She looked back at the canine and in the desperation of the moment she spoke "...Silver Glades...but I want you to help the others with the sheep, I'll take Santori" Her tone wasn’t aggressive...only worried, she turned back to Santori giving him a concerned look before turning her head back to John to see where he was aiming now, if anywhere. She lowered herself down to a laying position and whined quietly "Try to climb on…we need to get out of here"_\|/_

Azja

He looked as the wolfs came over, the only way the could really tell for sure he had wolf in him was him giant paws, he backed up.

Vatoni

She looked at him, but didn't say anything, walking over to one of the carcasses she grabbed it by the neck and pulled, trying to pull it to the other's...

Keilo & Santori

Santori hesitated at first, but then climbed onto her back. He grimaced again with the pain, but endured it without any sound. Using his large digging claws, he clung to Sahena's winter coat, but was careful not to grip too tight and hurt her.

Keilo nuzzled his mate, "Are you alright?" he was very worried for her, and anxious to get back to the pups. Keilo grabs a hold of one of the sheep and begins to drag it back to their territory.

Wespero

Wespero zigzagged across the pasture, while trying to keep sheep between her and the little human hunter. She reached the fence and sprung over it. After dashing to the woods with the others, she paused a moment to look at the large hybrid. Then she helped Vatoni to drag the sheep.

Timber, Rollin, Abigale, John

John aimed at the woods where the wolves had vanished. Although it was a wild shot, he fired his riffle there where he had last seen them. If no one got hit, it would at least be another warning. Now setting his gun down, John knelt down by Becca and put his head close to her nose. He could feel her breathing. "Becca...." he questioned out loud, worried.

Timber, Rollin, and Abigale all watched Becca as well, distressed. Timber turned to Shimmer, "What about you, are you alright?"

Koda

Koda sat where she was, watching them leave with their kills, two sheep, enough to feed heartily on. Koda looked back at the worried bunch, standing over Becca, all she had were puncture holes, and a ripped shoulder, she wouldn’t die, Koda knew that. She started back towards the others, wondering if they still thought her as a friend, or if she was now an enemy. Koda had only her stomach bruised, but it hurt only slightly, probably only a bruised rib, she was fine. She checked the others, Shimmer, Becca, and the rest seemed all right as well. She sat again and waited, not obediently, but because she had nothing else to do.

Sahena

_\|/_She gave a sudden yelp as though she was hit, but it was only from the surprise of the gunshot and hearing the bullet whiz by her. She turned her head and saw that Vatoni and Wes had one sheep. Motioned to the other one, signaling for the to take the other sheep while she trotted over to the leg that Santori had removed earlier and took it in her jaws, bringing her pace to a all out sprint back towards the Silver Glades terra, saying nothing to the other for a mouthful of leg as well as there was nothing to say, the other two brought the other sheep and that would be that._\|/_

Koda

Koda laid down, her stomach ached, she was hungry, sore and tired from all the fighting. She looked at the others, and felt guilty because she had not called them sooner. She looked back to where the wolves were fleeing, and she was going to leave soon, but she wanted to wait and see the rest of their reactions. She licked her paw, cleaning herself somewhat, then stopped and waited once more.

Vatoni

She looked at Wes and nodded, ready to go. Lifting up the sheep by the neck she started off towards SGTT, she was worried about her pups..

Shimmer

"Yeh I guess." She said. her front leg hurt more now and so did her back leg since everything calmed down. She smiled to Timber and sat. "I wont let them get any sheep next time if they return." She said.

John, Abigale, Rollin, Timber

John scanned the area around, but it seemed that the wolves were gone. Well, it seemed he needed to get the others back to his mom anyway, so they could be helped. With Becca unconscious, John knew he'd have to carry her back to the house. Although she was large, he was strong enough to pick her up; but just barely. He looked back at the others for a moment, and could see that Shimmer was injured as well, but John could knew she could walk back to the house still. So he trudged on through the snow, and headed for the Ranch.

Timber walked beside Shimmer, worried over her injured leg. He, like his father, was still wary of Koda. But they hadn't seen what she had done with the sheep.

Ivy

Ivy fallowed after them...

Koda

Koda stayed and watched them leave, she could see that Timber was wary of her being behind him, and that made her think if she was even wanted here. She looked back to where the others had gone, and watched them leaving again. She turned and began to run, easily trampling through the snow. She kept quiet and slipped under the fence, following their footprints, and the trail of the sliding sheep

Shimmer

She took note of Koda leaving and limped back to the ranch.

becca

*whines and opens her eyes. what had happened? she couldn't remember.*

Azja

The hunter stood where he was, shadowed by the trees, he watched as the human walked away with the other dogs, then looked at Koda ran off following the wolfs, he could follow his dog instincts and go with the human, but because of his very larger size, he would most likely be an outcast, or he could go with his wolf instincts and go back into the wild, and become more like the wolf inside him. Azja walks out from behind then tree, and howled and long echoing howl.

Azja

As he stood there, he realized that it would be no use going with a human after he had killed 3 and his family, he took off the way Koda had gone, jumping the fence, and was gone within seconds out of sight.
