Dove/Glider/Kiku

Dove raced to the Prairie, looking around frantically for her son. "Kiku?..." She howled loudly. "Where are you?" Her tail was between her legs as she searched through the tall grass.

Her father was close behind, sniffing the air. "He's in the forest." He informed, making his way to the cluster of dark trees. Dove followed him, trying to keep strong. They walked far into the forest, almost losing the track several times.

"Mom?" A voice said. "Is that you? Kiku stumbled out of the bushes, watching Dove and Glider.

Dove ran to her son. "Kiku, don't ever run off again. Do you understand? You could have been hurt. Well, now that we've found you, let's get back to the pack. Glider looked around. "I think it's this way, but I'm not sure. He said, walking toward the edge of the forest. They continued to walk for a while, but Dove sat down a few moments later. "I need to rest." She said, trying to catch her breath. It was not the running that wore her out, but the fear.

Kiku sat down next to Dove and remained silent. Glider did the same.

Vicious

The shadows stirred as the brujo snuck about, eyeing the female. She was weak but he cared not for it was just another fea to bare his heirs. A disgrace his true heir was. His oldest son, Crucified, was one of the most kind hearted (when in mind). He had to make up such a sorry excuse, and how else so by creating more evil spawn?

His right eye flickered with amusement as he began to crawl out of the brush and around the little doggie pack. Growing ever closer to the group of three with tht genuine smile. His dark sinister laugh echoeing from his chest. "Mwahaha, Well hello hello there." He gave a fightfully lustful glance to the fea before turning a heated look to the two males to part. "What- oh what- do we have here. A gang of weaklings and pups." My my though the fea was a looker, she'd create the most agile pups out of his. Quickly he grew close, encircling the fea with his sensitive ears to the males. What he lacked in sight he made up for with his ears. "Great missy, your child is grown... leave him and take a new bach, you shall..." He gave another dark chuckle as he readied for one to come nearer to him.

His peircing yellow eyes looked right into her own, the single black dot quivering within it's yellow confinement. Pulsating as if the larva of the killer bee. If either Kiku or Glider were to come into his biting range, he would wail on them until they got the hint to stay back.

Dove/Glider/Kiku

Dove looked at Vicious. She tried her best to be kind, but the male seemed too dangerous to bother with sweet talk. "One who puts on his armor should not boast like one who takes it off." She said in a slightly annoyed tone.

Glider growled protectively, standing in front of Dove. It was his daughter over everything else, even if it meant his life would be stolen. "If you come one step closer, you will lose a limb." He warned, keeping an aggressive pose.

Kiku stood beside his mother, barking at Vicious. "Stop being so stupid and back off, dummy." He barked.

Vicious

Vicious gavea a wicked smile at the feas bold words. "What armor is it that I am putting on? It is you who is raising your defences." He growled and lowered his head with his shivering sun glazed eye.

Motions suddently shifted on to Glider as he made his way in front of him. How pathetic. Vicious' head rose and he took a step forward, teeth bared like the ravenous beast he was. "It will be you who loses something, Waste. Maybe you have never heard of me, maybe you have. But I eat your kind, ALIVE, for dinner!" He gave a snap at the dog, just out of distance for either him or Glider to strick at each other, oh but how they would feel the air split as the teeh thrashed out.

The steel gray brute thought nothing of Kiku. Infact, he ignored him completely as if he were nothing more than a fly on the stalk of grass next to him.

Dove/Glider/Kiku

Dove growled. "You are quite unintelligent." She said angrily. "That is not what the verse means. The one going into battle and asking for trouble should not boast but does, and the one who already won the battle has the right to boast, but does not. You are obviously going into battle, as you are challenging me. Foolish wolf." She stood tall and strong, ready for a fight.

Glider snarled viciously. "I'd like to see you try." He stepped forward boldly, glaring at Vicious.

"If you touch my mom, you die when I'm older." The pup said, stepping beside his grandfather.

Vicious

The one eyed beast snarled happily as the fea spoke out her words. "Metaphors are not action; you have not won yet, and I have not lost..." When the brute took his step toward Vicious, the male lashed out with furious fangs that aimed to wrap around the smaller dogs face. His paw went up in case the pip-squeak were to try and help defend. "You cannot kill one who has already killed you, boy!" He snarled as his attack continued upon Gliders face and neck.

Dove/Glider/Kiku

Dove sighed and rolled her eyes. "Will you ever get it?!" She snapped. "It simply means that you have not won or even started the battle, so stop speaking like you're the princess!" She now seemed to breath fire as she spoke.

Glider barely had a chance to yelp as his face was caught in the wolf's jaws. He tried to free himself, but Vicious was just too strong.

Dove stormed forward, calling to Kiku. "Pup, run home!" She ordered. She did not want to say his name in front of a Haunter - she felt it may put them in danger. She then looked at Vicious, shoving her face into his. "You let him go, or I'll kill you myself." She threatened, snarling.

Camarin * Sliver

Camarin, the dark guardian, moved with swift legs and not to far behind him was his daughter, Sliver. She moved fast, even for her age as she kept up with him. Her face was grim, just as her fathers was set. Camarin came from behind Vicious, and he leapt with powerful hind quarters to try and knock the other wolf down or make him release his hold on Glider. He cared not for Dove, nor did he care for Glider but they were pack.

Sliver, she arrived just behind her father. She stepped in front of Dove, and gave the older female a hard shove with her wolfish muzzle. Go! He wants you, and if he gets you he wins. With that, she turned to face Vicious, and any other creature head on.

Dove/Glider

Dove snarled at Vicious. "I will not go without my father." She said, nearly foaming at the mouth. "And he only wins if he crushes my spirit. And cowards are incapable of doing so." This time, she snapped. Precious, good, kind-hearted Dove got rough when it came to defending those she loved. Her jaws opened wide as she launched her head at Vicious, hoping to get a hold on him. She was weak and he would probably escape, but she didn't care. She only wanted him to see that she meant business.

Glider looked at his daughter. "Go, Dove! I'll be fine!" He exclaimed. But Dove ignored him. She was fully concentrated on saving Glider.

Canis Rex/Kiku/Mikomi

Rex stormed to the Prairie, growling at Vicious. "You let them go right now, dog, or you won't leave this place alive." He commanded, walking straight up to the wolf.

The young pups were close behind. Kiku rushed at Vicious, really believing that he could help in some way. "If you hurt my mom I'll kill you!" He snapped, trying to ram into the wolf's legs. Mikomi, however, stayed where she was.

Jagged

Tearing across the ground, Jagged had his eyes locked on Vicious as he charged round the left side of him, out of sight. Silently, and hopefully unnoticed in all the comotion, the wolf bolted towards the large beast and lunged, fangs bared, for Vicious' rear flank to tear it up.

Mouse

The Saluki roamed through the Prairie, only to see the fighting canines. He had no way of telling who was the good guy, but from the way the battle was going it looked like it was many against one. He saw a few wolves, some pups, and two of his own kind - including a female. Naturally, he would not take a side until he knew what they were fighting about. "So, what exactly is going on and why is that wolf trying to kill the dog and why is everyone else trying to kill the wolf? He asked, ready to take a side.

Vicious

He felt his fangs wrap around Glider and he bit down as hard as he could to crush the one on Gliders face. That was when Camarin came up and attacked from behind. He let go and dodged the wolf then felt Dove bit his eyeless side. He laughed menacingly as the dog attempted to hurt him. She gave him a good few scratches, he'd give her that, but instantly as he jaws snapped down, he lowered his head and began to bite at her leg. He'd break one at most, shouldn't handicap a soon to be mother.. And what was this? More females? Mwahahaha. Well they could all have his poison and take them all at once.

Another now attacked his flank. Quickly, he kicked out with his feet toward the others face, how weak. For them all to be ganging upon a lone wolf. Yes, lone. Vicious only aided the Haunters, he was not apart of them, for if he was, his spawn would not be on the opposing side.

"You know you are weak, and you know you will all fall. Like the bird when the human bullet pierces through their heart." He snarled dangerously, venomously. He was growing tired of these petty games and was ready to get what he wanted.

Dove/Glider/Canis Rex

Dove yelped as the bones in her front left leg snapped. She tried to pull herself away, but Vicious was much stronger. "Let go of me NOW!" She spat, hackles raised.

Glider collapsed on the ground, stunned. Rex ran to the other male to see that he was still alive, then he ran to Dove. "Why would anybody who is not a completely worthless coward attack a young female who's not doing any harm?" He asked, speaking aggressively. "Oh...Right...We will fall...That's really funny." He said sarcastically. Then he lunged at the wolf, baring his teeth, hoping to drive him away.

Vicious

The brute saw Rex close in and he shoved the fea away. Pushing her out a way so none could interrupt.

Dove/Glider/Canis Rex/Kiku/Mikomi

Glider gasped and panted as Vicious took his daughter away. "I...I have already lost the others...Don't take Dove from me too." He said weakly.

Dove soon got free of Vicious. She sighed and walked back to the group. "I would like to go back to the pack now." She said with a soft voice. She tried her best to forget what had happened.

Rex pushed his children out of the way and sat down by Dove. He was already planning to get revenge, and Dove knew this just by the look in his eyes. The female said, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." Her words were strong, yet soft. She looked at the others to see if they, too, would want revenge.

Kiku looked at his father. He had no idea what his mother's words meant, but they sounded important. He knew to keep them in mind, as he may need this knowledge later in his life. "Can we go home now?" Mikomi asked, frightened. Without another word, Dove walked back to the pack, followed by Rex, Glider, Kiku and Mikomi.
