Rasheetah; Violence

The cheetah stalked in. Her head set high to see above the grass as she came to a small area where the foliage had been flattened. No doubt from a prior hunt. Looking back she growled to the kids. "Are you read for this." There was a dark edge to her voice.

Violence sulked in behind and shook his head. "Not in particular." He sighed before sitting down with his head up and looking to his new teacher.

Koray

Koray, who looked much like his father, followed Rasheetah to the Prairie. "You bet I'm ready." He chuckled, looking up at the cat.

Black Plaque, Repulsion. Asylum and Black Tip

Black tip was lieing not too far from the group with her pups playing around her.

Black tip the older son was now looking around and spotted the group. For now though he would just keep an eye on them. He stood watching them. He let them know he was here and if they came any where near his location he would attack.His tail was straight up

Predator/Tainted

Predator and Tainted, the coywolf sisters, looked at the strangers. The cats were what interested them. "What are you?" Predator finally asked. The sisters were daughters of Tahti and Luke, but did not know that.

Notorious

The hybrid followed his group to the prairie, rather silent, hiding his true emotions. Deep down, he was actually feeling quite excited and eager. Nothing on the outside showed what he felt inside, though, so there was really no way to tell. He was just like his father; a real trick. So it was no surprise that not even a smirk came to his maw as he scanned the area once the group reached the prairie. At the last moment, he spoke in reply to the cheetah's words, "I was born for this." he stated, quite sure of himself. He felt he could take on the world if he had to.

Rasheetah .+. Violence

The cheetah could hear the growling of the wolves in the distance. Not hesitating she roared out to them "You warn us to stay back, I warn you: Touch there children and I'll make you throw up your spine." She turned to the pups before grinning to Notorious. "I'm sure you were." With that she opened her mouth to begin speaking, but was interrupted by the two hybrid pups.

Golden eyes befell upon them as they spoke to her and she grunted. "I am a cheetah, now if you don't mind running along. We have some training to do. Unless you would like to join the Haunters and take part in this joyous game we are going to play." She turned her head back to the pups, paying the outsiders no mind.

"We are going to play hide-and-go-seek. No it's not for fun though it may seem like it. Until you tire from it, which I know you will.

The rules are simple:
The one who is 'it' must recite the following.

The Haunters are to cleanse the valley.
To make whole what has been broken for so long.
To mend what spills its blood for not reason.
To light even the darkest of nights for those who are weak at sight.

The Haunters growl out at night, though not in anger but in joy.
We celebrate those who die for us by sacrificing for their souls.

Haunters are here to cleanse the valley.
Take heed you dark minded foes.
Wars that prolong must be stopped.
Rivalry that never ends must end.
There is no weak but those who wish to live only to kill, to live only to show others who are weak.
The Haunters are not weak. Not the largest member, not the smallest member.
We are all equal. She paused. repeating it two more times to drill it into their heads.

"While the one who is 'it' is reciting, the rest of you will hide yourselves amongst the brushes. But do not lose sight of this tree." She pointed to a tree about ten meters away. "That will be 'base' You are also not allowed to hide within fifteen meters of it." She looked down to Notorious. "You will be it, sit by the tree and recite, and while he does so the rest of you will hide. If he finds you and doesn't tag you, you can run and hit base. If you are tagged on the way you have become it. and must recite and then seek the rest.

When the sun has tainted the sky fully orange is when the game will be over. The one who is 'it' by the time we call time up will be the one who gets no meal tonight. An no one wants to sleep hungry do they?

Now go!" She chirped before moving over near the tree and laying down. Her tail flicking as she watched the group.

Violence growled, repeating the words and then waiting for Notorious to begin. "This is stupid, just a little pups game."

Rasheetah lifted her head. "You will grow tired of it eventually. It is to increase both the skills of stealth and seeking. Be fully aware of your surroundings. Listen to everything, smell everything, feel everything, taste everything. For safety you will have to be the ultimate hiders. And for awareness, you must be the best of seekers. Now go." She repeated and waited.

Only as Notorious closed his eyes and recited did Violence stalk toward a bush no more than thirty meters away. Hiding behind it and grunting. He didn't try very hard to cover up his tracks, nor to keep down his breathing. But in due time he would learn.

Black Plaque

Good thing kal was out for the day.She smelt them but could not see them due to her lieing down. so she sat up to keep an eye on them nd if need she would take her pups away from the place.

black tip:he growled but stayed put marking the boundary basically for the haunters if they came any where near he would attack

White feather appeared out of nowhere and stood by her brother.

The two pups played

Koray/Predator/Tainted

Predator nodded, stepping back and urging her sister to follow. Together they walked back to where their family was and watched from there. I like cheetahs." Predator laughed.

Koray had a disadvantage - he was blue like his father. This would make him easier to spot. So he had to find the perfect hiding place. He ran across the prairie, searching everywhere. Finally he found an abandoned wolf den and crawled inside. It was a tight squeeze, but it seemed like a good hiding place to him.

Black

She then saw the two come back and she growled.You two you stay away from them and anyone who call themselves shadow haunters. They are bad newsShe said

Black and white stood gaurd

the pups ran towards predator and Tainted and attempted to tackle them

Predator/Tainted

Tainted looked back at Black and frowned. "You're not my mom." She grumbled. She lived up to her name; she was tainted with the blood of her mother. Every now and then, that evil smirk crossed her face. The same one that Tahti had. That same devilish look was in her eyes.

Predator looked at her adoptive mother and nodded. She was the one who looked like Tahti, but her personality was more like that of her father. She was calm and easy-going. Always willing to help.

Tainted snarled when the pups tackled her. "Get off of me, you dirty maggots!" She snarled as the pain surged through her weak back. She snapped back at them. No, this wasn't play. She was serious.

Predator bounded after the wolf pups, biting at their tails.

Black

She growled and now stood up and moved to tainted.tainted you are now forth with banned from living my site!She growled. Her tail flicked.Shut your mouth tainted. My pups aren't dirty maggots!She growled so tempted to just kill the pup but she did not.

your pathetic!Said blacks pups and then they spun around ot play with predator.

Predator/Tainted

Tainted looked up at Black, snarling. "They tried to kill me! What does that tell you about them?!" She shouted. She still had pain from the attack in her back, but she tried hard to ignore it.

Predator looked at her sister, concerned for her. She was no longer playing with the wolf pups. Her soft eyes remained on Tainted.

Tersek & Dawning Eclipse

Still limping slightly but improving every day, Tersek followed the rest in. His eyes landed on the enemies at remained on them for a long moment as Rasheetah gave out instructions to the pups.

Dawing Eclipse mentally recited the verse in her head, not wanting to mess it up if she every got tagged before sundown. And when given the command to start the game, she took off. Constantly glancing back to be sure the tree was within her sights, Dawn found small cluster of hawthorn bushes. The dense, arching branches with their mass of leaves offered good cover. The youngster crawed into the bush and settled down.

Notorious

Notorious had listened intently to the rules of the 'game', the end of his tail flicking in anticipation. He hadn't known he was going to be it, but made sure all of the words the cheetah had said were securely in his head. He was a bit startled to hear that he would be 'it' first, but then only grinned and lowered his body a bit. He went to close his eyes and began to recite the words from just a moment ago. Possibly stumbling on a word or two, but managing to get through it. It wasn't until he really opening his eyes that he realized something was going on. Growling deeply, he watched the going ons with interest, stalking forward.

Violence

He kept his eyes on Notorious. Waiting until the pup moved a few feet from the tree. Stalking forth in a less than graceful manner, Violence raced toward the safety of the 'base'. Hoping not to be caught, but being less than secretive about his actions.

black

She growled.No they tried to play with you that is all!Pups play Now you come with me and sit with me till you calm that head of yours

They glared slightly.yah like we would try that! We arent killers!

Predator/Tainted

Tainted smirked defiantly. "And I was almost paralyzed. That's real fun, yeah?" She hissed hatefully. No, she wasn't much different from her mother. She glared at Black through narrowed eyes. "You're not the boss of me."

Predator didn't want to see her sister get killed. "Tainted, it was just an accident! They didn't mean to hurt you!" She cried out.

Black

You were not. Their teeth aren't sharp and only one of them was actually on you!She growled.I am the boss of you I am the Alpha you are not and right now your rank would be omega!She snarled.

The pups glared slightly but shook their heads.

Predator/Tainted

Tainted snarled back at Black. "The filthy bug bait jumped on my back! If I hadn't gotten free it would be broken!" This statement was true, as she had inherited her mother's weak bones. "If I run away, then what are you going to do?" She looked at Avril and lowered her voice. "I'm sorry, mother. It's time for me to go." With that said, she rushed out of the Prairie, not once looking back.

Predator's eyes flooded with tears when she saw her sister leave. "No! Come back!" Despite the hybrid's pleading, Tainted kept running.

Black

That pup was too much like a haunter. So she let her go.She turned to avril.Im sorry avril but it sadly appears that she has too much haunter blood in hershe then turned to predator and moved to pick her up.

Predator

Tears ran down Predator's face. "No! She's only hurt! We have to bring her back! She cried out, struggling as Black picked her up. "You only hurt her feelings!"

Black

She growled and braught her to the den and layed down with her.If she is hurt then she'll come back but i did nothing to hurt her nor did my pups

Predator

Predator stepped back, snarling. "Yes you did! Your pups tackled her and could have broken her back! And then you yelled at her! You're just as evil as the Haunters!" She snapped.

Black

She growled angerly and griped the pups scruff again. then placed her back down.You know perfectly well the pups didn't tackle her that hard! and I yelled at her for how she talked! Im not evil at all im a good mother. Haunters are murderers

Predator

Predator narrowed her eyes and looked up at Black. "You know perfectly well that she has weak bones!" She shouted back. "And now she's gone. You hate her, don't you?! You hate everyone!!! I hate you!" She snapped at Black's face before running off, following her sister's trail.

Black

This time she followed after the pup keeping right up with.I do not hate anyone,! She is the one who hates meShe snarled.
