*Grizzly Bear*

A grizzly lumbers along, keeping his nose to the ground for the most part. Every now and then he was crush or roll a rotten log with his massive paws and lap up any swarming bugs he might find. After a while, he reaches the den site. This could be where I hibernate. The grizzly decides. He begins to dig at the den entrance to make it larger...

Nyscee

When the brown fae loped over to the den, she was shocked to see the bear. She knew she couldn't take him down, since she couldn't find Deaths Angel, or anyone else. She figured she would try though. "YOU!" She snarled. "Get away from that den! It is claimed by the Avalanche Grove pack, and if you do not leave it alone, I and the pack will kill you." She went into defensive position. She then had a plan. She might be able to lure him over to the ledge nearby. It was worth a shot if the bear did not heed her warning.

Dark Star & Nyscee

The alpha brute loped over, banner held high. He did not reason with those he considered enemies. "Get away from there you foul beast. The only place you will be hibernating this year is between my jaws dead!" He snarled maliciously, and it soon turned into a menacing growl. He froze in defensive position, ivories barred and eyes glinting. He could easily manuver out of the way of the bear's attacks from his position. He waited to see if Peregrine, Kana, Auna and Snowden were following behind. He nearly forgot about poor Death's Angel in all of the excitement and commotion of the day. He hoped she would show too. He howled loudly, and saw Nyscee pad up beside him.
Hackles raised, auds pinned, he stood, waiting for the bears first move. He was exausted, and knew they all were too, but his main goal was simply to keep the bear at bay. If they had to, then yes he would kill him. But it would take a lot of effort.

Nyscee snarled and howled as well. She had put her bodice low to the ground, hind legs prepared to launch her in any direction.

*Grizzly Bear*

The bear turned and narrowed his eyes at the two wolves, "This den hasn't been used by wolves for a long while, so I have just as much claim to it as do you." He then stood up in a threatening posture, "And unlike you, I've got shear strength to back up my claim. So I'd scram if I were you!" he rumbled deeply, glaring at the two wolves. He didn't know that more would be coming, and he felt confident he could take on two adult wolves. Although he wasn't full grown, he had the strength to kill a young black bear with a swipe of his massive paw. And his terribly long claws, although not razor sharp, could tear apart logs and uproot dense soil. For his lumbering size, he was actually quiet agile. But this is a factor that the wolves could beat him in; he just wasn't as quick as they, and he was only one against many. But he stood his ground.

Kana

She came in behind her mate, Dark Star, banner held high as well she snarled at him, "you foolish beast! Our pack will outnumber and kill you if you do not leave NOW" She said with a grow. Hackles rais she waited for the bear to make his next move and for the rest of the pack to arive.

Snowden & Auna

Snowden stood by Dark Star and Kana while his light eyes glared up at the towering bear. The leopard gave through to an odd, low grumbling noise. It was a noise to indicate displeasure and a preceeding of attack.

Auna made the same noise, although louder than her brother's. Her end of her long tail switched back and forth in aggrivation. Her ears were pinned back and her mouth open to reveal her curved ivories.

Cavan

The half blind and deaf wolf had entered the pack lands just too late to hear his brother's name; Jais. And it was a good thing too, for his brother and he certainly weren't on good standings. As Cavan approached the others, he hung back slightly, gazing up at the bear. Old memories came flooding back to him and he almost wanted to turn and flee before he was to witness what might befall this huge creature. Stop it, Cavan! That was past this is present. He is no relation to them... he's only a grizzly. He was their enemy, my enemy, just like... like the wolves were. Cavan shook his head as if the physical motions would clear the argument from his brain. He had to defend his new friends against the bear, and to do that he had to convince himself it was the right thing to do even though it faintly conflicted with his feelings of old. Making his decision and hoping no one noticed his brief mental struggle, Cavan stepped forward more and snarled deeply at the bear. He would join the pack in attacking and killing if that was the decision.

Dark Star & Nyscee

"BAD MOVE, grizzly." He snarled as he tensed his muscles. "NO ONE screws with me. TRUST me." He then accquired an evil smirk, and this was very odd. He had never been like this in front of his friends before. Nor his mate. He was usually caring and willing to make deals, but it appeared something snapped. He wanted all bears to fear this place. However would Dark Star and Kana raise a family unless they stayed away? He then left out a low bark. "I will give you one thing, I WILL screw with you!" And with that he dodged to the right, and landed on a boulder, still in an agile poise. He didn't notice Cavan, his tenacious glare was fixed on his target. He would never let anything else happen to his home, and expecially not the ones he cared for. Not Kana.

Nyscee then dodge left at the same time to confuse the bear, snarling low. She landed near the den, but ducked under to protect her back and head from blows. She then quickly crept to the top of the boudler. She wouldn't attack until Dark Star did so, since it appeared to her he was now leading the attack. Then it happened.

Dark Star nodded to Nyscee and she began to howl, to attract the bear's attention. he then lunged, his huge canines exposed, digging in with all his might at his aimed target, the back of the bears neck. He wasn't sure where he had grabbed, but soon after Nyscee lunged at his back of the left leg, this way he was distracted from the others at the moment.

Auna & Snowden

The two cats had waited until the howling started up and the others just attacked. In a single leap, Auna flung her body over the ground and straight for the bear. Snow leopard instinct told her to go for the throat of large prey, so that's where her fangs were aimed. Regardless of where she hit her target, she bit down as hard as she could and dug all of her sharp claws as deep as she was able into the bear's flesh.

Snowden hesitated a second, but not from fear. He had to see where the others were attacking and where his sister went. He too had the throat for a first target, but his sister went for that position. Only seconds after Auna attacked, Snowden did as well. He made a rushing slink towards the bear before springing up. His blunt jaws sought out a hold on the grizzly's left elbow. His agile front paws would wrap about the arm with claws dug in. His slightly shorter hind legs would press out against the bear's side.

Peregrine

Peregrine plundged into the melee as soon as the others attacked. Like Snowden, he too paused before his next move although he growl and snarled to add to confusion for the bear. Once the others had made their moves, Peregrine leapt up and tried to hook his strong fangs into the bear's right elbow. They had to keep those dangerous paws as burdened as they could. Those claws, backed with such emense strength, were probably the bear's best weapons.

*Grizzly Bear*

The bear roared out as the fangs of the alpha set into the flesh in the back of his neck. Dark Star couldn't quite reach the spine with the hold he had, but many muscles were there that could be torn through. Then there was pain at his leg. Dark Star was too hard to reach at the moment, so the bear turned and struck out at Nycee with his right paw. No sooner had he attacked the wolfess when fangs were set into his throat and claws dug into his stomach and chest; then his elbow; and then the other. The large creature roared out in agony and reared up again to his full height, bringing to two at his elbows up as well. With his left arm he stracthed at Auna, and with his long muzzle he snapped at Peregrine. Though it was difficult he tried to shake Dark Star off.

Kana

Kana had been suprised at Dark Star's anger but didn't think much of it. She was angry as well. She snarled at the bear and lunged for his shoulder, biting down hard with her sharp teeth.

Dark Star & Nyscee

He watched with fear as Nyscee was slashed across her back and a bit of her side. It wasn't deadly or fatal, but bleed terribly and had a searing pain. Dark Star pushed off of the bear with all his might, trying at the same time to knock the bear off balance, and lose his grip. He then struck again, this time his head tilted so he could easily grasp the back of his neck. He clenched in mighty fangs into the beast, and began tugging and shreding and ripping with all of his might.

Nyscee yelped with pain, but she had expected it. She had known something would happen, for she was his main focus at that time. She hid her yelp with a snarl, and released her grasp. She then grabbed his leg at the lower section and began to pull, to try and make him fall. She hope the others would start to yank and such too, for this could throw him off balance.

Cavan

He took a deep breath, glaring at the bear with newly won animosity. This indeed was an enemy. With a raging snarl, the wolf came forward and lunged for the bear's other leg. He would sink his fangs as deep as he could into the muscles and flesh, then shake the limb as Nyscee was doing. He didn't know that his brother was on his way.

Auna & Snowden

Auna didn't relinquish her hold when the bear's long claws gashed her side. She struck out at him with one of her paws. Then she began to kick fiercely with her poweful hind legs, trying to tear deeply into his stomach.

Snowden let his hind quarters drop from the bear's arm. Hanging on with only his jaws and front paws, he began to shake his body from side to side, helping out Nyscee's efforts to pull the bear off balance.

Jais & Cavan

Cavan was thrashing as he held to the bear's leg. His snarls were deep and primordal and his attention was focused soley on the bear.

Cavan's nearly all white brother suddenly came sprinting in with a crimson-stained muzzle from a recent hunt. He halted a good distance from the fight and looked to see if Tri-Tundra was within sight. He felt a bit akward rushing into this fight where he didn't know anyone, but was was more than willing to do it. But... wait... Jais shook his head and concentrated on a grizzled-colored wolf at one of the bear's legs. That eye! It couldn't be... Jais thought, looking at the clouded blind eye of his brother; the traitor, as he saw him. "Cavan...?" he whispered out in a growl, too low for the other to hear.

That's when Jais's striking white fur caught Cavan's attention. Couldn't be... he thought, straining to turn his head to see from his good eye. It is! Jais! Cavan released his hold, fangs bared as his body almost trembled with anger and bewilderment. "You again!" he roared out in untamed hatred. He began to stalk towards his brother, head lowered.

Jais knew now that his mind wasn't tricking him; this was his only surviving brother. "Betraying your own kind wasn't good enough, was it? Had to go against them too?" he growled, speaking of bears. "We told you years ago you made the mistake, but you wouldn't listen!"

"Shut up! You have no room to speak! You let 'our' so called pack fall to ruin, didn't you? Where's your precsious brother Railu? Weren't you suppost ta' protect him?"

Jais's voice shook as he replied, "Don't you DARE talk about him! It's not my fault..." he trailed off a moment, looking around. Not good, Jais! This is no good first impretion! Once more his thoughts turned to Tri-Tundra. "I've got to help my family, not waste my breath on scum!" Jais plundged forward towards the bear, but Cavan tackled him, snapping for his throat. Jais pulled back intime to save his life while slashing at his brother. He jumped up and launched himself at the bear once more, trying to get a hold of the beast's right paw. A small gash on his throat was the result of Cavan's attack, but it was nothing serious.

Cavan had a slash mark on his shoulder. He stood up slowly, furious that his brother left the fight. "Coward! We'll settle this now!" He snarled bitterly, but didn't yet attack his brother. He began to circle around the bear, waiting for the fight to end.

Peregrine

Peregrine had dropped down when the bear tried to bite him. He was startled then by the sudden aggression and the brief fight between his friend Cavan and the newcomer, Jais. Of course he had some questions to ask, but no time to do that. He must defend his new friends first. The large wolf watched as Jais lunged for the bear's right paw. An instant later, Peregrine propelled himself through the air to latch once more to the right elbow, trying to keep those dangerous arms at bay. He too began to thrash his body.

*Bear*

The scent of blood hung heavy in the air as the pack's teeth tore relentlessly at the bear. His roaring continued as he struggled with the wolves and cats. But with so many of them thrashing and pull this way and that, he couldn't stay standing. The large creature fell forwards, catching himself with his front paws. Jais would have had to let go, or have his head crushed by the massive paw. The bear wanted to reach the furious fangs at his neck, but he couldn't while he had attackers at both arms. His next priority was his hurting stomach and throat. Auna was causing a lot of damage. The bear reached down and got a hold of her side then pulled back and thrashed his head. Unless she wanted to loose her side, she had to let go. He then flung her to the ground and snapped at Nyscee with.

If the pack kept up their attack, they would kill the bear soon.

Dark Star & Nyscee & Tri-Tundra

Dark Star saw the fight happening. NOT SMART! The BEAR IS THE ENEMY AT HAND! HELLO!?!?! but he did not let go of the bear. He yanked and shreded with all his might. He led a sharp glare to Tri-Tundra, and she knew what to do.

She lept between them and grabbed Jais by the scruff of the neck and yanked hard. She did not cause any wounds, but was terribly angry. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?!? Let your conspiracy wait until later, your pack needs you! LOOK WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND WE ARE NOT!!!!" Her voice shook with anger, she couldn't hesitate to help the fight, but she had to for a reason she didn't know. Her hard furious glare then turned to Cavan. "I don't even KNOW you! And I don't EVER want to see you again if you don't leave him alone and work WITH the wolves that freed you! Is THIS how you repay them!?!?" She looked hard at both of them, and then srpung at the bear. She snarled furiously and attacked the bear right after it appeared that one of the leopards had lost their grip. She leaped at the one massive paw that was free and grabbed hold, then pulled with all her might, leaving collassol slices down his arm. This gave Auna a chance to either move back, or attack again. Then Tri-Tundra lept out of the way and when for the bears face. She slashed with her sharp teeth and razor like claws. She then bit down hard on one of the bear's shoulders.

Nyscee backed away as he snapped, but then ran right back in and grabbed a different hold on his other shoulder and started tearing.

Jais & Cavan

Cavan glared straight back at Tri-Tundra, "I don't need lecture from you too!" His fierce eye turned sharply on his brother, "AS for you, I'm not going to bother. You've let Railu and the rest of your pack die, so I don't need to step in to make sure you fail here as well." his good eye turned to Dark Star a moment and a look of regret came to him, "I'm really sorry... I can't explain; you wouldn't understand. It's just..." Cavan let his words trail, not willing to try and tell his side. With a last, sinister glare at Jais, Cavan turned and ran off.

After Jais broke away from his brother, he was about to lunge for the bear, but Tri-Tundra caught him. Too late! he thought misserably, listening to her angered voice, "I'm sorry, very much so." He appologized sincerely, casting his light orbs down humbly. I wasn't quick enough, now it'll be real 'fun' trying to prove myself to the others. If only Cavan wasn't here. And why would he side with the wolves? he had to stop the questions from forming any further. His brother had just ran off and his new pack was busy attacking the bear. Once more he sprung for beast's right paw, trying to help Peregrine hold the huge limb at bay.

Tri-Tundra

Tri-Tundra regretted the way she spoke, but the stress had already begun to build up again. Before she continued attacking the bear she spoke softly to Jais. "I don't know why you two are at 'war', but Cavan is on Dark Star's good side right now. Cavan helped Dark Star escape the Wolf Center, and because of that, he deserves as much right to be with this pack as you do. The past is the past Jais, it will never change. What can change, is what happens when moving on and living a life without set-backs and regret are all keys. Either forgive your brother and forget, or don't and we all suffer. It will be hard Jais, I know. My mate was killed by my sister Spirit long ago, and I can't change that. No one can. But now I have people I can trust, and it is behind me. Please try and do the same." She then loped back to the fight and continued on her attack to the shoulder.

Auna & Snowden

Auna let go and was flung to the ground. Her side was hurting a lot, but her determination to kill this threat was a priority. The graceful she-cat bounded over the ground and launched herself at the bear as he had tried to snap at Nyscee. She attemted to dig her claws into his face and sink her teeth into his snout. If she landed her attack right, she kicked her hind legs at his throat with all her strength. And being so agile, she arched her back and neck outward so that his jaws couldn't reach her. She only hoped the others would keep the bear's arms down.

Snowden continued his attack on the arm. His claws dug in deeper and he bit down with all his strength, trying to damage the muscles.

*Bear*

Missing his attack on Nyscee as she sprung away, he was going to try and reach for Kana. But than a ferocious cat hit his face and the sudden weight made him drop down slightly. The bear thrashed his head from side to side and attempted to draw his paws up to swat Auna away, but arms were laden with attackers and torn up badly. His shoulders were bleeding and his hind legs were causing him pain. Worst of the injuries were to the back of his neck and his stomach. The final blow was to his throat. The snow leopards claws, driven by the incredible strength of the hind legs, torn deeply past fur and into flesh. After several kicks, his trachea was lacerated. He tried to roar, but the noise came out as a gurgled, mutilated version of the suppose-to-be noise. After a few more moments of struggling, the bear tottered then fell to his side. Soon after, he was dead.

Bandit, Star, Night

Bandit and Btar entered the terrain first looking for their freinds and Sivinith, Snowden, and Auna. They had grown quite a bit since the last time they were seen. Bandit saw the scene and rushed over but stopped. Star did the same. Night bounded in after them and stopped behind his siblings.

Snowden & Auna

Auna had to let go and leap from the falling bear, lest she wanted to be crushed beneath him. She was looking with satifiscation at the bear they had slain when a movement caught her eyes. She turned and spotted the three new comers. "Bandit, Star?" a crimson-stained smile flashed over her blunt muzzle, "You've come back!" The large she-cat, getting closer to adult size, ran towards them. She rubbed her head against the two she knew so well, giving them a cat-nuzzle.

Snowden pulled back when the bear fell, makings sure he too didn't caught smashed beneath the huge creature. He held his grip until he was sure the bear was dead. Like his sister, that's when he noticed his friends. "Ah, I can't believe my eye!" he said with a grin and bounded over to them. He was about to tackle Bandit playfully, but checked himself and slowed down. He was getting too big to run around tackling his friends now. "Where've ya been?"

Peregrine

Peregrine had kept his grip on the bear like Snowden did, until he was sure the beast was truely dead. Then he released and trotted over to the three new comers. "It's been a while since I've seen you three." he announced with a smile.

Dark Star

As the bear tottered, Dark Star lept off and moved back. He howled loudly with victory, and when he dropped his muzzle from the howl, his jaw dropped. His eyes gazed with confuzzledment as he looked over the three. They had gotten much bigger, could it be? He managed to studder as he stared "Bandit? Night.....Star? Is it really you!?!?" He smiled, greatly happy with the turnouts of the day. His pack now contained Tri-Tundra, Nyscee, himself, Kana, Death's Angel, Winter's Wing, Jais, and possibly Peregrine. He and his pack had grown stronger and moved to a new, isolated location. On top of that, Tir-Tundra and Jais had made a kill, and they could finnally have the feast that was delayed so long ago. Never had he thought! How could it be? He nodded to them and barked "It is wonderful to see you all again. If you will excuse me, I have pressing matters to discuss privately with...Jais." His smile faded, not from anger, but from the seriousness of the situation. He walked Jais away from the commotion and gestured for him to sit down. The large alpha brute then spoke. "I don't want an appology Jais, simply an explination for your behavior." He looked at him and sat down in front. "You are welcome to stay here in our pack, you are accepted. What is not accepted is the fact you attacked a new friend and alli of mine. He helped me get my freedom, and he has earned his, and my trust. That means whatever problems you have with him will be suppressed, or end now. Avoid him if you must, but he is as welcome as you are to stay with this pack." He sighed and looked away as he spoke. "We all have hard times Jais, but, those hard times don't have to hinder us. The world stops spinning for NO ONE. Not me. Not you. All I want you to do now, is go. Find your brother and bring him here. No fights. Tell him it was my order." He stood up, casting a shadow on Jais. "You are wise and strong, but you are under my command. You are my equal, but you are on my terra and in my pack." He then turned away and looked to Peregrine. "YOU! You my friend, have done so much for me I am beyond thanking you. Instead, I will invite you into my pack. What do you say, welcome home?" He looked at Peregrine slyly, and then turned to the rest. "Let us have the long delayed feast. Jais, eat with us before you go. I don't know if there will be enough, but we have all earned it. The food is thanks to Jais and Tri-Tundra, so they will have first grabs." He then loped off to central packlands, running beside Kana. He muttered to her as they ran. "Once the pack is in the den sleeping tonight, I would like to talk to you." He then continued on his way.

Jais

He was strictly obidient to Dark Star, sitting as he bayed and listening without interuption. His eyes, downcast humbly and respectfully infront of Dark Star, widened slightly at the one request. Bring Cavan back here? But, he couldn't object to the alpha's wishes. As desperately as he wanted to explain their confusing past, he felt it may be taken as arguing against Dark Star's wishes. "I... I'll try to talk with him. I seriously doubt we can reconcile; but I promise I will try." Jais vowed and listened to the alpha speak to his pack next. Jais padded over to Tri-Tundra with his head held down but tail waving faintly in an appeasing way. He flashed a faint, appologetic smile towards her, "Sorry for how I acted; our past is a strange tale. I just didn't think Cavan could ever help another wolf... ah, nevermind." He stopped himself as his stomach rumbled. "I'm famished!" He said then, trying to lighten the mood. He headed for the Central Pack Lands.

Bandit, Star, Night

Bandit and Star immidiatly yipped a greeting to everyone. Night yipped a greeting as well. "Hello! Its so glad to be back. Weve been no where really." Bandit says ansering Snowdens question as he wagged his tail rapidly. "Its so good to see everyone!" Star yipped. Night realized something. "Hello!" Night then looked to Peregrin and darted over. "How did you escape from the wolf center?" He asked. He then thought of his mother. "Did my mother escape with everyone?" Bandit smiled. "Auna, Snowden wheres Sivinith?" He said. Star listened to what Bandit and Night had said wondering what the answers would be to both questions for she wonderedc the same thing. She watches Dark Star run off. She then looks back to the others waiting to here the answers to the questions.

Kana

Kana had realeased her hold on the bear and joined her mate in on the victory howl. She grinned when she saw Bandit, Night and Star, walking over and nuzzle each of them, "It is good to see you!" She said happily. She noticed Dark Star talking with Jais, he needed to talk to him, she had scene the fight. When Dark Star spoke of a feast she nodded and ran after him, nodding once more when he said he needed to talk to her. She wondered what he wanted to talk about...

Auna & Snowden

Auna shrugged, "I think she's back at Breve Ridges. I picked up her scent before Snowden and I left, so she was somewhere around." The leopard turned to watch the others go, "Lets eat!" she siad eagerly, nudging Bandit and Star before heading to the Central Pack Lands.

Snowden nodded to his sister's suggestion, "Yes, let's! I'm starving." He was hardly starving; Snowden was in prime health. But he had a big appitite. He too bounded off for the feast.

Bandit, Star, Night

Bandit smiled and nodded then looked to Star. "we will find Sivinith later." He says then darts after Snowden and Auna.

Star smiles and nods. She looks to Peregrin. He could answer her questions later. "Lets go!" She yips to Night and Peregrin and darts after Bandit.

Night smiles looking to Peregrin. He then walks off after the others.
