*Humans*

Two horses trotted across one of the deer trails, each bearing a human. And each human bearing a riffle.

Koda

Koda lurched through the forest. Her initial attempt was to go back to the sheep pasture to help out there. But an odd scent had forced her to return to the packlands. One was of the wolvine, the other wasn't. Humans. Koda had experience with the humans metal weapons, they were not as much of a threat as the animals they rode upon were. She stayed on the outside of the two, following behind and swerving where the animals couldn't see to stay downwind. She waited to see if any of the pack would show up, if not she would scare them away herself.

azen

cream fem walked up to the wolf and asked, "what are those things?" she looked at her curiously.

Jazera

::Gray femme stalks the large prey too, she stands beside koda licking her paw, auds pinned orbs glaring at the 4 legged prey with the 2 legged preditors, she wouldnt have worried if it hadnt been for the metal things they held:: 4 shots before they have to reload::she says softly to Koda::

azen

she put two and two together and said "him fast. i can have one shoot at me. they probably wont hit me. im very agile. and im a good attacker." she looked at the two other fems and said, "back me up." she sprang out infront of one hunter. there was a cracking noise and smoke every where. she felt heat as the flying bronze thing saored over her, barley missing. she dodged that one but will she be so lucky with the other 3?

Jazera

::jazera leaps fwd grabs femme scruff and pulls her away into the brush:: dont be stupid::she growls and snaps at her::you'll be killed

azen

she looked at her and said, "why not. are theese things that dangerous. ive never encounterd one." she looked at her scard.

Jazera

if the impact and bleeding doesnt kill you the infection will, just be careful::the femme looks up eyeing the preditor::

azen

she looked at her and asked, "well how do we kill it?" she looked at the twoleggers carfully

Jazera

We Hide until Revolution Arrives::she says, leaning her body close to the ground::

azen

she too ducked down and hid

Koda

Koda listened, Revolution might come, but she doubted it. THey were hunting. She lowered herself, but then started to move forwards, slowly stalking the beasts. Their only chance would be to make the horses instincts make them run from the predators. She moved in behind them, the only places that the horses couldn't see. She had also encountered the guns. Dangerous. She ran out, and began to snarl, she would deal with the unknown canine later, but for now, they needed to get rid of the threat.

Jazera

::she snaps at Azen who seemed to immature to help much, not dumb just not experienced in the ways of humans. She follows Koda's Lead and walks out snarling, she motions for Azen to follow but be careful there were 3 wolf and only 2 guns, hopefully they would choose to run::

*Humans*

Hearing the snarls, one horse bolts forward as the rider is nearly thrown off. But he manages to cling on and attempts to calm his horse.

The other one turns his head to the side and kicks out his powerful hindlegs. The white of his eyes show his fear clearly. The man atop this horse struggles as well to manage the frightened creature.

Koda

Dial turned to see both wolvine following, then carefully calculated the reactions of the horses, they were obviously frightened, and such a handful for their riders that they couldn't shoot. Koda now either wanted to make the horses run away from the territory, or frighten them so the riders were forced to have two hands on the reigns, therefore dropping the gun. But her aim was now for the horses to throw the men, then the wolves could take their revenge. She looked at Jazera and made motion for her and the other lupe to keep a close eye on the other horse, while she took care of this one. Turning attention back onto the equine, she began using her agility, horses were big, and slightly more clumsy, and Koda made sure she did not stumble by keeping close to the ground, one wrong move and her spine could be crushed by the creature. Koda moved to drive her away, but if she didn't move, it was a fact that she would rear. Horses almost always fought while rearing, the struck and bit at each other while on only two legs. It was an instinct. She hoped that instinct would come in play, then Koda would jump and hopefully grab the shirt of the man, thust pulling him back and off his horse.

Jazera

Femme lowers her body ready to pounce, once the other riders attention was on his friends, she'd grab him

Catalpa

She had left the hunt after loosing track of her hunting party. There were too many others at the Ranch anyway, so surely humans would cause trouble if they had stayed longer. The long-legged wolfess was heading for the Den where she had picked up on the scent of a stranger, but the distant sound of conflict caught her attention. Catalpa swung her direction towards the sound and soon enough came upon the scene of two horses, humans, and pack members. She waited a moment, trying to decide what the others were trying to accomplish. Kill the humans? Chase them off? Catalpa made up her mind and revealed herself to the nearest equine, whom Koda was trying to fright. The she-wolf snarled and gnashed her jaws at the large creature, but was careful to avoid the deadly-dangerous hooves.

Jazera

::femme relizes that if they brought down one horse they could feed the whole pack. Once they'd taken care of the humans she'd go for one of the horses throats::

*Humans & Horses*

Fear built up in Koda's targeted horse so that he tried to plundge past her and dash away. But Catalpa came snarling from the brush and further spooked the horse, making him feel inclined to defend himself. With a snort, the horse reared back as Koda predicted and flailed his hooves at which ever wolf dared get close to him. The man was prepared for his horse to run, but not to rear back. With a yell, he fell and landed heavily on his side.

The other horse was still in a panicked run with the rider clinging desperately on. As Jazera first went for the human, the horse bucked and kicked out her hind legs before veering to the side and running faster. The rider was pelted and lashed with low branches and the loaded gun fell from his grasp and landed on the ground. The horse plundged on, bucking out her hind legs when she felt the wolf was too close to her.

Jazera

femme see's the fallen human and snarls, she lets the unarmed go for a bit and charges to the rearing one, she lunges and goes for its vocals trying to sink her teeth in::

azen

she saw the other human on the horse and she burst out of the bush. she ran up next to the enquine and lunged for the humans arm to knock him off of it. she wonderd if it worked.

Catalpa

Seeing the human fall, Catalpa instantly dropped her harassment of the horse. "Be careful!" she barked in alarm to Jazera, seeing the wolf lunge for the rearing horse's neck. Dodging around the frightened creature and giving room for it to run, Catalpa turned her attention to the fallen man. She sprung without hesitation for his arm, trying to break it so he couldn't use his gun.

Koda

Koda steered clear of the flailing hooves, and found it not reasonable to reach for the man, so she let him fall. Before he could catch his breath, she immidiatley lunged for his throat, catching a glimpse of Jazera attacking the horse. Koda didn't know if that was the right thing to do to a frightened horse. At least not for just one wolf. In her sprint towards the man she knocked the gun further away from him, his hope was lost unless they decided to let him live. And at the moment, Koda was in no mood to let the trespasser by alive. A scab upon her paw cracked and began to bleed. For a moment she feared the humans would use that against her, but the thought was gone only seconds later.

Jazera

::femme continues her attack, landing swinging to the horses back , she goes for the back of its neck::Koda,help me bring it down, it'll feed the whole pack!

Koda

Koda frequently glanced back at the horse, but as well continued her attack on the human. After all, it was their fault they brought horses upon a wolf territory. She was almost sure that they had sensed the danger well before the humans had, but they were pushed, and made to go on. Auds pricked forward, but she showed no sign of hearing Jazera. First she wanted to make sure there was no real threat. If the human was left, he would get his gun, and shoot them all. She was not willing to risk that. Dial shook vigorously, wether she hit or not, and a snarl was emitted to frighten the human, and make him panic. She was upon him now, and it was nearly impossible for her next attack to miss. Mandibles opened, and with great strength shut on anything she could grasp, peircing gaze staring at his chest, looking for his breathing rate, to see if he was still alive.

Jazera

::femme continues her own attack snapping vigorously at the neck holding on tight::

*Humans & Horses*

The man didn't stand a chance against Koda. Before his life was cut down by her raving fangs, he made a few last, desperate kicks. Soon enough, he was killed.

The horse stepped back quickly when Jazera first came at her. If Koda and Catalpa didn't move quick, they'd be trampled by the hind hooves. Jazera had a light hold on the neck, but a striking hoof caught her along the side and sent her to the ground. Hearing those behind, the horse kicked its hind legs before plunging forward and charging through the forest.

azen

she saw the horse running away and she bounded after it. she ran up beside at and launched herself lunging at its neck. she could feel a rush od wind as she wonderd if she would strike it.

Koda

Koda began to move away with bloodied jaws once she saw the human was dead. She was still alert, but unaware of the crashing hooves. They caught her hip and with a yelp she tried to scamper away as best she could. Pain, rage, and a slight comfort formed as she watched the horse run. Even through all of it, she managed to dip her head, watching Azen chase after it. Her back leg hung loosely, and pulsed with pain. blood began to stain the fur, and she whimpered without really noticing. She struggled greatly, but managed to pull herself away, not wanting to be seen by the others in a state like she was in then.

Catalpa

Catalpa knew just how dangerous those hooves could be. She had observed them now and then, but hadn't ever attacked one before. Hunching her body down, she sprung nimbly to the side as the tip of a hoof clipped the top of her ear. The wolf scampered a few feet away, shaking her head and flicking the smarting ear. She had heard the contact made by the horse and Koda, as well as the sounds of pain. Her eyes turned back to see the other pull off to the side. Two thoughts crossed her mind though she didn't show what they might be. The sly huntress did her best to try and catch up with the fleeing horse and leap at her shoulder.

*Horse*

The horse put on a burst of speed, pulling away from both wolves. Soon enough, the creature was out of the territory.

Koda

Koda watched from afar as the rest of the pack succeeded in chasing away the farm animals. She whimpered again, and tipped her dial into the air, calling to Revolution. She needed his friendship, him, to put it simply. Her song was cut short, not wanting the others to know where she was, but she knew they had probably watched her clumsily move over. Crania lowered to the ground, and her leg remained to the side. Her hip was either dislocated, or broken, she hoped it was the first, it took less time to heal. Strangely, she had the sudden urge for company, and a series of barks asked any who wanted to, to come.

Catalpa

Catalpa quickly gave up the chase, satisfied the threat was gone. She gave a single, sharp, high bark to call the others who had been chasing the horses. Then she paused to listen to Koda's howl and she hesitated. At first, Catalpa had thought it would be a perfect time to raise her rank in the pack. But as she sauntered towards the wounded packmate, Catalpa felt differently. The desire to belong and to care for a pack soon outweighed the urge to dominate Koda. As Catalpa approached the wounded fae, she whimpered slightly in friendship and sympathy. "Is it hurt bad?" she ventured to question, though by the blood and the way the leg was held, it seemed it was certainly 'bad'.

Koda

Koda waited a moment, and no one came, maybe she had been expressing her friendship with Revolution a little too much. All the same, she curled up to wait. But then Catalpa appeared, and Koda looked deep into her eyes to see if she wished to dominate her, or help her. Koda looked back to her leg, after the question was asked. Pain still pulsed through her, but Koda had stopped whimpering. "I...I don't know." She could usually tell when other are hurt if they were to die or not, but she didn't know what was going to happen to her. If she would be able to use it again, and if not, would her pack turn their back on her? Instincts and nature said they would, but she could always hope.

Nachi

Having watched the end of the confrentation from the sidelines, the sly, strange wolf knew what had happened. From her odd past, she hadn't developed quite perfectly into a good wolf 'citizen', but she was still a somewhat functional pack member. Curious to see the damage done to Koda, the wolf sauntered her way, coming from the opposite direction of Catalpa. Her features didn't betray at first what she thought of Koda's crippled state. After a moment, she raised her head and tail in dominance over the wounded wolf. She said nothing and didn't show really any signs of concern that Catalpa did.

Catalpa

Catalpa instantly lifted her lips and gave a quite snarl towards Nachi, demanding that she lower herself. She was one of those wolves who acted as 'peace-keeper' in a pack. For that reason she would strive for the beta position where her 'role' could have some dominant backing. After observing how Koda and Revolution seemed to get along, it seemed that Koda would have a higher ranking than herself. So it wasn't good to be dominant over Koda, wounded or not. The others faes were a different story, especially Nachi who Catalpa viewed a strange.

Koda

Koda would have stuck up for herself, if it was possible. She turned to growl, but heard a voice that was not her own. She felt a slight bond with Catalpa as soon as she had decided to stick up for her. She could have went onto Nachi's side, and effortlessly picked her apart. But then, she was sure, Revolution would cast both away. Under her breath, spunky as ever, Koda spoke to Nachi. "Coward, only now you show your face to me. You're not welcome here." She growled the last few words. It wasn't her decision to chase her out of the pack, but she didn't want her anywhere near her.

Nachi

Nachi's ears planed out to the sides as her lips writhed back in a more gruesome show of fangs. "I'd like to see you try to drive me off! You're as good as dead now." the wolf remarked, looking towards the wounded leg a moment prior to shifting her fierce eyes to Catalpa, "You can't tell me what to do; it's not your concern to get involved with this conflict!"

Jazera

::guilty femme sat up, she streaches she was stiff, she had heard Koda and she bounded twds the bushes, head high she let out a howl, she was a huge wolf with a feirce bloodstained muzzle, she showed her fangs to nachi and got infront of both femmes Koda and Catalpa she lets out a deep growl auds pinned and teethe bared hair on her neck standing on edge , tail high showing her dominance:: You are nothing in this pack. Koda saved me from the humans in ranch by warning me, she will be fine! return home now!::she snapped at nochi, her large muscles twitching.::

Nachi

Nachi's hackles raised and she snarled defiantly back at Jazera, "That matters not!" she raged out, snapping at Jazera as well. "If Koda can't fight for herself, she doesn't deserve to be in this pack anyway!"

Koda

Koda growled, nudging Jazera to the side to peak around, hackles rose, banner waving with perfect harmony with her delicate poll. She barked, "My seniority in this pack is well beyond yours. I could have you killed faster than I ever would. So if I were you I wouldn't be going around like you are, or you might just find yourself 21 to 1. Not much of a chance there." Koda had just guessed a number, they had many more allies than just twenty one. Black Fyre's pack, Manov's pack, Aicha, and many more. It's wasn't wise to mess with any of them.

Jazera

::Femme growls deeply and nudges Kodas leg:: its dislocated::she grabs Kodas leg in a swift motion, and yanked down and then pushed it back into place::It should feel better in a few moments just a bit stiff, i dislocated my sholder when i was a pup thats how my dam fixed it::she explains and turns back to nachi::Back off before i get real mad

Revolution

Alpha brute sauntered in threw the trees, nares sniffing the air. Auds perked up as he heard the growling and telling going on between his small pack. Pads krepted him closer watching and listening as they fought between themselfs, he at first thought about letting them go at it and establish domanence over each other, but when Jazera grabbed Koda's leg he sprang down, at first he hadn't anyidea of what she was doing. But then stopped before he came into plain sight of them, realizing she was only helping. He was down wind as he watched them fight, soon though, soon he would jump in and defend, but he wanted to see what Nachi would do.

Koda

Koda flinched as well, but as her leg was relocated, she was able to use it. It hurt still, deciding that if the pain would continue she would seek medical help, she stood on all four of her legs. Turning to Nachi, "You were saying?" In her mind a very egotistical smirk spread across her maw, but it hadn't. Instead she patiently waited.

Nachi

Her snarl scaled down to a deep rumble that rolled in her chest and throat, muffled and low. "Must you have these two help you win a fight? Are you afriad of me?" she questioned tauntingly. "If your not afriad, lets settle this dispute now!" her voice rose slightly and she kept her eyes staring straight at Koda's while completely ignoring the other two.

Koda

Koda taunted the younger damsel, completely unexperienced when there was a comparison issue, and from the show she was putting on right now, surely acting her age. Whatever she did, would surely be unexpected unless the lupe was phycic, was physically impossible. She launched herself off the ground with her good leg and attached herself to the canine's neck hopefully, but it would be forsure that her jaws clamped on her upper body. There wasn't enough warning for the canine to physically move fast enough out of the way. After all she had to see her in the air, then calculate which way she was going, then move. Or she might run right into Koda's jaws. She clamped her jaws down, if it was her neck, it was hard enough to put pressure on the spinal cord, bodice was lowered onto the other, the impact would hopefully knock her over. But either was she lowered herself so that Nachi was unable to kick her away. "I don't think it's me who is afraid. If you weren't, I've been alone many times, why haven't you approached me? Because your a pig-headed, egotisticall moron! You wouldn't come when I was healthy because I would kill you if my dominance was challenged. Why is it now that you come? And why is it after the danger has been chased away that you show your wrangled face." Her words were mocking, wanting her to struggle so that her flesh would tear.

Jazera

::Jazera looked at revoluition she had heard and smelled him, she lowers her head to show she new her place, she looked at nochi::if you became alpha i would not show u repect, auite opposite nochi i would fight you to the death::she let out a deep growl, hair on edge::

Revolution

Brute stepped out of the bushes as Jazera's speach came to his auds, and snarl was emitted to the whole pack. "Jazera, she wouldn't become alpha even if she did defeat Koda, for she isn't exactly my alpha fae. None yet I have appointed, but I did promis Koda that position, but I still haven't given it to her." He stated to them, pools glanced over at Koda trying to reasure her she would be alpha maiden soon. The dial turned quicklu yo Nachi. "You will submit now!" He snapped at her, fangs bit at her muzzle. "All of you will!" He snapped yet again, it was time for dominence and for them to learn their placeing.

Jazera

::Femme quickly lowers her crania, auds lowered, she could feel his anger so she layed down and rolled onto her back tail between her legs, it was the most vunerable position for a wolf, which showed submittion::

Koda

Adrenhaline pulsed through her thick veins, her blood was coursing through her with such speed she could hardly settle to look at Revolution. She met his gaze, and heard his speach, auds lowering. She had refrained from giving that speach so that the members of the pack wouldn't see her as unfair, or something along those lines. She snarled at Nachi again, before lowering herself beside Revolution. She leaned to the left side so to take the wieght off her injured leg, which was not matted from the blood.

Nachi

The wolfess hadn't been all too close to Koda prior to the attack. Having a small frame and less weight also warned her to keep her distance and make quick attacks, which her body was more capable of doing. She knew she could be pinned if Koda had gotten a good enough hold. Nachi had sprung back, or more like stumbled as the attacker's fangs closed on a patch of fur and tore it out. She was about to preform a counter attack when Revolution stepped in. Wise enough not to challenge the alpha, she withstood his snaps and lowered herself to the ground, ears back and tail tucked. She stayed on her feet though.

Koda

As Koda made her way past all of them, she couldn't help but growling and snapping at Nachi, it would do her good to fully submit. For if Revolution did nothing, it would be a true fact that Koda would do something. Her, Aicha, and hopefully Aaka. She settled as she reached her lord, and fell to the ground on her stomach, banner laid flat out behind her, and auds flattened out to the sides, honey orbits still staring out at the land.

Catalpa

Catalpa submitted to Revolution's authority by lowering her body and other features. She even went to whimper in submission. But she didn't not roll upon her stomach or go so low as Nachi. The leggy-wolfess wanted to make a point to the other two faes that she was more dominant, but of course fully under Revolution's command.

Revolution

Bronc snarled at all of them. Orbs narrowed down at Nachi and Catalpa. "Both of you will submit lower!" He snarled at them, seeing as they were not using proper edicate. Cranium was then nodded towards Jazera and Koda to rise. "Seeing as though only you two actualy listened to what I demanded. Your ranks shall be given as so. Koda, as said before you are my alpha female, and Jazera, my beta." Fangs closed as he was done his speach. Brute's stomach growled slightly, but he didn't take notice that much, he could still go for while without eating. AS he stood where he was his banner raised up high, he motioned for the two to do the same, signifying they were of higher rank then Nachi and Catalpa.

Catalpa

She rolled quickly onto her back, startled that her acts of submission hadn't been good enough, even after she had defended Koda and showed no disrespect for the alpha. Catalpa wondered why he would give Jazera the position of beta so rashly, but it wasn't to be questioned. She could resolve the matter in due time.

Nachi

Nachi came fully to the ground and rolled over, tucking her tail and arching her head back to expose her throat. She even went as far as Catalpa had in her first submission; she whimpered plantively to Revolution. The strange wolf had been on the verge of killing, or trying to at best to kill, Koda. Then she would flee from the pack. Now that flash of blood-thirsty vengence died away and vanished completely as she was submitting to Revolution, begging for his forgiveness for her actions. She wanted and needed a pack. She didn't want to be alone again and searching in vain for the family she knew we dead and not reachable; not until her time came to leave this world as well and be with them all once again. That time wasn't here yet.

Jazera

::Femme rises, auds up, her muscular body trembles as she dares either of the lower to try disobedience. Head high, back arched, she watches carefully. However she kept her head lower the Koda and Revolutions, she growled in irritation over the other femmes challenge.She strides after her::
