Cortinarri

The alpha wolf sprints towards the pasture and leaps easily over the fence. She pauses just on the other side and waits for her pups and the beta pair of the pack. Her delicate nostrils take in the scent of collies and some other canine mixes... pets. Cortinarri then hears the sound of crows and looks over to see a flock of seven flying slowly some distance away. And, a collie pup yipped and followed after the crows.

Cortinarri's mind worked suddenly, coming up with a plan. If a pup strayed too far from humans, she could take it. But that thought faded from her mind at the moment. She needed to teach her pups the art of killing livestock without getting caught.

Vatoni

she stayed behind Cortinarri and her pups...she saw the collie pup playing with the crows and smirked a little...

Amber, Charcoal

Amber and Charcoal both saw the collie pup and wolf hybrid and crows also exit the terrain.

Charcoal yips as sees the sheep but looks to his mother. "Where are those pups going mom. After the hunt or now can we go see. They look excited." He asks.

Amber listens and nods in agreement with her brother but marvels at the sheep. "They look like fluffy white clouds." She points out.

Cortinarri

"Sure, we can go see where they are going after this." Cortinarri replies to Charcoal, then returns her attention to the sheep. "Now, when you attack, it's just easiest to go for their necks, or just bite them enough so that they die of shock." Cortinarri explained, "But make sure you are silent and quick when you attack, because humans will come out if they hear anything suspicious." So saying, the alpha sprinted towards some sheep, trying to single out a few for her pups to attack. She left Vatoni, and Keilo when he came, to attack what ever they wanted.

Amber, Charcoal

Both nod and then they both slink towards a baby sheep. Amber leaps up and grabs its neck biting as hard as she could while Charcoal jumps on its back and bites in various places as hard as he could.

*Sheep* & Abigale

The lamb, who was lying on the ground, hardly had time to get up before the pups attacked him. With bleating cry, the hapless creature collapsed with the weight of two pups dragging at him. As his back was bitten into, his neck was torn deeply by Amber. The young sheep tries futiely to get back up, but becomes too weak. After much struggling, the lamb dies.

But it wasn't long after the lamb died when the she-collie of the ranch came bounding over a near hill, barking crazily. Her agile body rockets towards the pups and collides hard with Amber, and sends the pup tumbling across the ground. She was also on the ground from the force of the impact, but quickly got up again. With a fangs bared and deep rumbling sounding from her chest, Abigale speaks, "Get out of here before the humans come and kill you all!"

Cortinarri

With her horrible attitude that often got far out of control, Cotinarri was even worse when she was protecting her pups. With her expression clearly showing nothing but insane anger, the she-wolf raced over the ground as Abigale spoke her threats, and attempted to collide full-force with the collie and snap her deadly jaws at anything that came within reach. As far as her pups were concerned, she'd do anything to protect them. Even if she went way out of line to do so.

Rollin, Abigale, Pups

Abigale yelped as she was struck by the raging wolfess, and thrown clear off her feet. But of all breeds, collies were exceptionally swift in battle. The wolf's fangs closed down on her ruff, but Abigale pulled her neck back enough so that no skin was caught by the fangs. Knowing she wouldn’t survive a fight with this furious wolf, Agibale gathered her feet and sprang away from Cortinarri, while losing a patch of fur in the process. With a wicked snarl, Abigale stood on guard and prepared to avoid the wolf's next rush, if she made one, "I told you to leave!"

Rollin came bounding in after a few moments, with his pups in tow. Seeing his mate being attacked by the wolf, Rollin charged forward and halted a few feet from Cortinarri, snarling as well, "Leave her alone!"

Their pups, Cronus, Nak, Elsa, Mesena, and Stallis all stood defensively by their dad, snarling and raising their fur. The collies' adopted pups, Ivy and Becca, were also with them.

Amber, Charcoal

Amber yelps but quickly stands. She may be a wolf hybrid but she and her brother probably had more wolf in them then dog. Amber runs beside her mother and snarls at the collies and their pups. Charcoal rams into Cronus and bites at Nak but quickly retreats by his mothers side.

Abigale, Rollin, Pups

Nak yelped pitifully. He was the most frivolous of the pups, and was taken aback by the way Charcoal had attacked him. Yet Cronus was quite the serious little pup, and his quiet attitude was awakened into a big fury! With a big growl that hardly fit his puppy-body, Cronus charged right after Charcoal and tackled him, biting at the hybrid, although his little teeth and jaws couldn't cause serious damage.

After Cronus rushed forward, Stallis did too. He was the largest of his siblings, and stood up for them all. But before he could reach Charcoal, Rollin sprung and caught him up by the scruff and tossed his son lightly behind him, "Stay!"

Abigale rushed for Charcoal and Cronus, and took Charcoal by the scruff and tried to lift him off the ground while Cronus backed off, growling fiercely.

Elsa and Masena tried to consol the whimpering Nak, while casting evil glares at Amber and Charcoal.

Cortinarri

The wolfess reeled around and sprung at Abigale once more, snarling in rage, "Put him down!" She aimed to tackle the dog once more and slash at her.

Keilo

Keilo raced and leaped over the fence of the pasture. Without slowing much, Keilo made his way for Rollin while uttering a blood-chilling snarl. His powerful jaws were sprung open and ready to seize the collie by the shoulder.

Becca

*the ever growing large mix pup suddenly appeared and grabbed keilo by the paw and jerked. her fangs weren't so small any more and they HURT.the wolf part was her strength german shepherd part her endurance to pan. her collie was her speed.*

Keilo

Since he was running so fast, the wolf lost his balance as Becca latched onto his paw. If she were small, then perhaps he wouldn't have lost his balance. But she was a growing pup, and was enough to make him stumble and crash to the ground. Snarling with the pain in his sensitive paw, Keilo whipped his head over and snapped at the pup, trying to drive her away and make her let go of his paw.

Amber, Charcoal

Amber suddenly had an idea. She rams into Her brother to knock him out of Abigale's jaws.

Charcoals skin rips but not badly and he hits the ground with a thump. He slashes at Cronus's eyes and snarls.

Amber sees Keilo so she runs over and leaps atop of Becca and grabs her. She bites down as hard as she could to make Becca release Keilo. She was probably a bit older then Becca and her teeth hurt also.

Becca

*the pup didn't let go instead she jerked harder on his paw. growling and snarling she shakes it up down and left to right.*

Rollin, Abigale, Pups

Cronus snarls boldly at Charcoal, then sprung back to prevent further damage to his face. Not wanted to get caught by the older pup's jaws, the collie begins to run circles around him.

Stallis bolts past his father and heads strait for Abigale. His lean muzzle snapped at the older pup fiercely, trying to help Becca.

Nak calms down enough, and runs over to Rollin, with Elsa and Masena.

Abigale attempts to break up the fight between Cronus and Charcoal once more, but is tackled by Cortinarri. As the two tumble over the ground, Agibale slashes out at Cortinarri, then scrambles to get away. The wolf’s fangs, but no more than that had marked her muzzle and forelegs.

Becca

*this time becca moves up keilos leg and bites down hard then shakes up and down left to right then does a fast sharp hard jerk.*

Amber, Charcoal

Amber releases Becca but quickly tackles her so she couldn’t grab Keilos leg.

Becca

*since you pulled her away from keilo you made her pull skin off his leg as she was pulled back. she suddenly turned and grabbed your muzzle hold it tight.*

Amber, Charcoal

Amber opened her maw as not to get her maw closed. Becca grabbed her top jaw but Amber chomped down as hard as she could on Beccas bottom jaw.

becca

*looking straight into her eyes you could see the fire burning in her wolfish eyes. bringing up a paw to slap the other canines maw.*

Amber, Charcoal

Before Becca could whack her she twisted her head and bodice around to twist Becca's maw and perhaps break it. She used her own paw to block Beccas swat.

Ivy

she growls fiercely at the hybrids..she stayed behind Rollin but new she had to protect her new family. suddenly the youngest pup runs into Amber. trying to knock her away from Becca..

Amber, Charcoal

Amber tumbled but didn’t let go for she knew if Ivy rammed her it would just hurt Becca more for her teeth would just tear more skin. She bites as hard as she can.

Rollin, Abigale, Pups

Rollin dashed over to Keilo and slashed at his shoulder before leaping back, trying to avoid a counter attack.

Cronus continues to run circles around Charcoal, trying to keep the older pup occupied so he didn't go after anyone else. Stallis charged over then, and attempted like so many other, to tackled Charcoal. Nak regained his courage and sprinted towards Charcoal as well. He tried snapping his lean muzzle at the pup's face and neck.

Masena and Elsa made their way towards Amber, where it seemed that their oldest 'sibling' was in trouble; Becca. The smaller Elsa slashed relentlessly at Amber's. Masena tried to lock her teeth onto the pup's shoulder, but not shake her.

becca

*a yelp is let out like a scream when jaw is twisted. she needed to get amber off. when she blocked her paw she unleashed her other paw in quick counter and tried to get her in the stomach.*

Cortinarri

Cortinarri was up in a flash, with various little wounds to her muzzle and side. Without missing a step, she charged for Abigale again, uttering a deadly snarl in her way. Cortinarri feigns to tackle Agibale for a third time, but veers off at the last second and swings her muzzle sideways and tries to sink her fangs into the collie's side. Lucky for both canines that they had their winter coats on, or their bite could go deeper into each other.

Amber, Charcoal

Charcoal sprints out of harm but then wheels around and tackles Cronus. He grabs Cronus by the neck and bites as hard as he could trying to injure Cronus badly. He saw adults in fights always or eventually go for the neck.

Amber just blocks Beccas other paw with her own other and twists more. Perhaps she could tear the skin from Beccas jaw, which would be very painful. She just twists more when the others bite her. She did her best to ignore the other two pups. She didn’t like fighting but knew now that is was necessary in this case.

Ivy

she jumps into the air grabbing Amber under her neck...shaking her little head the collie pup hangs on the hybrid's neck trying to make her let go of her "sister"...

becca

*suddenly she went limp and you couldn't tell she was breathing. before she did she had a taken a sharp breathe as if it was her last breath. she made her eyes roll into the back of her head and her tongue lolled out. her weight leaning on amber should make her fall/*

Amber, Charcoal

She tucked her neck so Ivy would miss it. She didn’t care if Becca played dead for she didn’t smell death in the air like she had when Isia died. She smelt a familiar scent. She then knew it was these Collies humans who killed her older sister Isia. She snarls more fiercely and releases Beccas maw but quickly grabs her neck in exchange. She was strong enough to still stand and hold Beccas weight and her own up. She shook her violently like a pillow as to take her anger out on Beccas. She bit deeply tearing up Beccas neck. She then releases and turns and thrashes out with her back paws into Beccas face. She turns and lunges for Ivy; she hops onto Ivy’s back and grabs her ear and jerks back hard hoping to shred it to bits. She then releases and grabs Ivy's neck and does the same as she did to Becca.

Ivy

she cries out loudly...she was only a couple weeks old..kicking with her back legs she scratches Amber while the hybrid held her neck...she cries out as Amber shake her neck hoping her siblings or parents would help her....

Amber, Charcoal

Amber continues to shake vigorously. She then sees a small pit and tries to drag Ivy over to it and hurl her into it into the mud where perhaps it would be to slippery to get out of without help.

Ivy

she pup yelps and tries to get out but is stuck in the pit...her neck was bleeding badly to...if she didn't get some human help now she could die from blood lose...

Amber, Charcoal

Amber wasn’t playing. He maw was covered in crimson blood. She lunges at Elsa and grabs her neck She also shakes her like a pin cousin and tries to toss her in the pit with Ivy, which she knew they couldn’t get out of without help. She then lunges for Menesa to ram into her. She was getting her revenge for her sister Isia's death.

Becca

*suddenly a body is upon her and it had grabbed her neck. she also does the same thing while choking her with a paw. her neck was bleeding but she didn't care. this was a life or death situation. kill or be killed.*

Amber, Charcoal

She wasn’t stupid and sees Becca coming for her. Becca was able to get on top of her but her neck was tucked so all Becca got was her back. She stands on two paws and falls backwards to slam Becca to the ground hoping shed let go for her fur was already matted with blood in various places but none of her wounds were serious yet. Just really painful.

Becca

*a pitiful howl is let out as her paw is almost crushed as she barley escaped the fall. the howl could be heard at the big house. her paw now sprained she turns and herds the sheep together and leads them away from the wolves.*

Amber, Charcoal

She snarls and stands for Becca had broken her own fall. She shakes and runs and tries to ram into Mesena. She snaps at Mesena trying to grab anything she could.

Vatoni

the she wolf charges toward Rollin..attempting to knock him down...

becca

*after herding them to a hidden place and made them quit again she ran just hurting her paw more. this time grabbing vatoni's leg like she had keilos. she wanted to make her trip. with a sharp jerk to make it more successful.*

Vatoni

she tripped when Becca grabbed her paw...she didn’t cry out at the pain..she was tough. she jumped up quickly and snarled at Becca..she was much bigger and older than the pup with bigger teeth...

Rollin, Abigale, Pups

Cronus snarls even as the teeth grip at his neck. His only saving grace was the fact the Charcoal wasn't full-grown, and couldn’t give a lethal bite as swiftly as an adult could. Still, Charcoal was older and his fangs dug deep into Cronus' neck. Trying to get free of the pup's painful hold, the collie snaps crazily with his lean muzzle and tries to tear at any part of his enemy that he could get.

Elsa was smaller than Masena, and tossed into the pit although she fought the whole way there. After a few unsuccessful attempts at trying to get out of the muddy pit, Elsa began to bark and howl pitifully.

Masena was thrown down by Amber's charge, but was quick to get up. With a terrible snarl, the younger collie lashed out with all her fury and strength while trying to tear at Amber's face and neck; which ever she could reach.

Nak and Stallis joined up and charged for Cortinarri. They both aimed for her hind legs and attempted to sink their smaller teeth into the wolf's legs.

Abigale readied to leap away from Cortinarri's rush, but wasn't expecting the change in direction. Her shoulder was torn open as she yelped in surprise and the pain. Blood flowed from the wound, and the collie's eyes narrowed. Just an instant after the attack, she countered with a slash at the wolf's neck.

Rollin galloped over to the pit and quickly pulled both pups out by the napes of their necks. He growled deeply after seeing how injured Ivy was. "Stay still, Ivy. Elsa, watch over her." The male collie made a dash for Amber then, while she was busy attacking his pups. With a ferocity he didn't knew he had, Rollin tried to seize the pup by the nape of her neck and fling her as far as he could.

becca

*when vetoing was down she leapt suddenly using her large amount of wait for a pup on her. she snapped at her nape and pulled back sharply hopping to pull of skin. the she snaps at her shoulders and shakes then pulls back. she hoped she got skin to rip off.*

Amber, Charcoal

Amber snarled as her ear was ripped but only slightly by Masena. Her coat already was coated i\with blood. She ran under Rollin as he came for her and she ripped at his soft stomach flesh.

Keilo

The wolf turned toward Rollin, seeing that he was trying to attack Amber. In silence, the wolf made a swift rush for the lighter collie and slammed into him, attempting to roll him across the ground.

Vatoni

she growled as Becca ripped her fur out...but being stronger than the pup she tried to kick her off of her...

Amber, Charcoal

Amber stops biting Rollins stomach and leaps out of the way as Keilo takes action.

Charcoal shakes Cronus violently ignoring all other attackers.

becca

*letting go of vatoni she rushes over to charcoal. she was almost as big as the mix breed. she suddenly leapt with the grace and speed of a wolf and collie. she was trying to knock over the mix for it to let go of Cronus.*

Cortinarri

Cortinarri was terribly quick in fight, and shuffled sideways to receive only a small graze to her neck from Abigale. Instead of attacking the collie again, Cortinarri rushed past her and sprinted quickly around the feuding canines and looked over them all as carefully and quickly as she could. It seemed that her pups were doing alright so far; and that's all that mattered to her. The enemy pups were younger. Grinning slightly, the wolf glanced back to see if Abigale was following after her or not... but she kept up enough speed so that the collie couldn’t leap and catcher her.

Rollin, Abigale, Pups

Abigale is after Cortinarri in a flash, trailing after her as close as she could.

Rollin kicked at Amber as she snapped at his stomach, and was just about to bite at her when Keilo rushed him. With little time to react, Rollin made a fumbling leap backwards and narrowly missed Keilo. As he leapt back, his lean muzzle dashed out and slashed at the passing wolf, hoping to tear his face or neck.

Elsa whimpered and nudged her injured sister, "You'll be alright. Just stay still." she tried to sound very confident, but she worried about the younger Ivy. The pup threw back her muzzle and gave loud half-howls, calling desperately for her masters.

Nak and Stallis had no chance at catching up with Cortinarri. Frustrated, the pups turned and headed for Amber. The two pups, along with Masena, snapped in frenzy at the older pup, mainly at her face and sides.

Cronus finally gave a muffled yelp through the pain, although he tried so hard to be brave and not show his hurting. He tried desperately to kick and snap at the pup and make him release the death grip at his neck. He could do little more.

The husband of the ranch had heard the fighting from his ranch, and snatched up his gun in a hurry. After getting on one of his horses, Mark galloped to the Sheep Pasture and found the melee of fighting canines. Quite alarmed, he aimed his shotgun at Cortinarri, but didn't fire yet. He stayed safely on his horse.

Ivy

she whimpered and nudges Elsa back....she then saw the master and was glad he was here...

Cortinarri

With a loathing snarl at the human, Cortinarri sped on towards Amber first, who she saw Rollin was towering over. She watched as Keilo made an attack, and Rollin countered. Just as Rollin countered, Cortinarri made a desperate dash to catch up and slam into the collie. "Run the fences!" she barked quickly to her pups. She knew full well what guns could do, and she thought the man would shoot her pups after he shot her, so she wanted them to get away. As for herself, she had a plan in mind.

becca

*grabbing charcoal she started to pry off the death grip on Cronus. she didn't want him to die. she then grabs charcoal's neck and her teeth start to inch closer to the vital vein.*

Amber, Charcoal

Amber stops and nods to her mother and rams into Becca to knock her off course away from Charcoal and then she rushes towards the fence.

Even if Becca would have reached him she still was a pup and wouldn’t be able to get his vita vein or at least he thought. He bites as hard as he could on Cronus's neck and shakes him once before bolting after his sister and releasing. e just hoped his mother would hurry to.

Abigale, Rollin, Pups, & Mark

Rollin was caught off guard and thrown to the ground. Quickly, the collie scrambled up and slashed at the wolf while trying to scramble away from her. Abigale followed after Cortinarri, and jumped on her as she collided with Rollin. Her teeth came over the back of the wolf's neck.

Cronus struggled to hold back a second yelp at the merciless treatment. He struggled up after Charcoal released him, and made an attempt to chase after the hybrid, but stumbled and fell. His neck was bleeding badly, and he felt faint. Snarling weak threats after the retreating pups, Cronus was forced to give-up the chase. Sullenly, he staggered to his feet once more and glanced over at Becca, wanting to thank her for helping him.

Masena, Nak, and Stallis began to chase after Amber, but quickly stopped and returned to their mother and father. The older pups ran too fast for them, and besides, their parents needed help now.

Amber, Charcoal

If their mother needed help they’d go back but they knew she could handle herself. "Hurry mom! Keilo! and Vatoni!" They yell.

Koda

she sat in the same bush as before, she knew she would not be seen, nor bothered here. here was two decisions, she could help the ones she promised an alliance or help one of her own. she came into the open, she would help both. slowly she stepped in between the them. giving the wolves a chance to get away, but also taking their hits if they decided to attack each other.

Ivy

she felt very weak and was just before fainting...

Vatoni

she looks at Cortinarri wondering she wanted her to stay with her or go with the pups...

Cortinarri

Seeing that her pups made it to the fence, Cortinarri now needed to flee. She fought her way from Abigale, snapping venomously at the collie. Then she shot a glance at Vatonie and Keilo, "Run! Zigzag!" the alpha began to run for the boarder, while zigzagging this way and that, and trying to get sheep and other obstacles between her and Mark so he couldn't shoot at her easily.

Abigale, Rollin, Pups, & Mark

Mark guides his nervous horse to follow after Cortinarri, but she was too close to the sheep. He was surprised to see Koda, and almost shot at her, but suddenly remembered who she was, and quickly aimed his gun at another wolf; Vatonie. He almost shot at her, but since he had a shotgun, he knew he could easily hit one of his dogs as well. Frustrated, Mark waited to see if all of the wolves would leave. If any of them got far enough back from his sheep and dogs, he'd shoot them.

Abigale almost chased after Cortinarri, but stopped. She rounded back toward the pit where two of her pups were. She found Ivy, and her ears came back in worry. The collie mother picked up her youngest, adopted daughter and quickly sprinted off towards the Ranch where her other master could help. Stallis and Elsa sprinted off after, worried about their youngest sister.

Rollin snarled furiously at Keilo and Vatonie, and ignored Koda. He rushed at the two wolves, trying to drive them away. Cronus dipped his head down wearily as his own blood stained his black fur. He gave a light growl and made a shaky run towards his father, trying to help him chase the rest of the wolves away.

Nak and Masena sprinted over to Becca, their oldest 'sister'. "Are you alright?" Masena asked with concern. Nak stood warily, making sure no one would attack them.

Cortinarri

Since she wasn't shot at, Cortinarri sprung clear over the fence and glanced to a nearby timberline, and urged Amber and Charcoal to head for that. "From the cover of the woods, we can make it home safely." the alpha said hurriedly as she made for the woods, although she kept an eye on the human incase he were to shoot at her pups. From the woods, she made a run back to her territory.

becca

*panting hard becca crumples to the floor. she had fought hard and already lost allot f blood. the grass around her where she lays filled up quickly. she felt dizzy.*"i think I'll be okay....."*after that she went unconscious.*

Amber, Charcoal

They both follow hoping Vatoni and Keilo made it out safely.

Vatoni

she nudged her mate Keilo to fallow her home before sprinting towards the fence zigzagging just incase the human shot at her...she leaps the fence and howls for Keilo....she hoped he would make it out safely...

Keilo

Keilo bounded past Rollin, snarling threats at the collie before he followed after his mate. In a flash, the wolf cleared the fence and bounded towards his mate. "That was pretty fun; though it would have been more fun if that human didn't show up." Keilo spoke to Vatonie. His pack was one that was in constant conflict with humans. With one last glance back, Keilo sprinted off towards their territory, after waiting for Vatonie to follow with him.

Rollin, Pups, & Mark

Rollin dashed over to Becca, who he saw Masena and Nak by. Seeing how badly injured she was, Rollin picked up the larger pup and ran as quickly as he could back to the Ranch. Masena and Nak followed after their father and fallen sister. Mark guided his horse back to the ranch. Cronus plodded on after them all, ignoring the pain firing in his neck and the dizziness creeping into his mind and body.
