Twilight Beauty

The hybrid was running fast, running for the sake of her pups. After reaching the main lands, she paused a moment to catch her breath, and then howled a loud, urgent note to catch the attention of the rest of the pack. She had received word from a wolfess named Athara that humans threatened their lands, and needed to be headed off before the reached the borders of the Emerald Pines domain.

White Tip

As soon as her pups were safe she came towards the call."what is it?"She questioned her tail over her back.

Twilight Beauty

Twilight lowered herself in the presence of White Tip, but her fear did not diminish any, "Crucified has ordered that all the pups be sent to the den with Athara. She told me there are humans to our northwest, and that all the adults were to go and head the humans away! If not, they could discover our pups!" She had already sent her pups with Athara to be taken to the Den, and was ready to head out and distract the humans so they wouldn't find her precious little ones.

White Tip

She sighed."i will not leave my pups somethin else is up and i just dont feel right leaving them.Take the rest and take athara i will stay with the pups"She sighed.Her ears twitch.

White Tip

"Wait a second i was rather just informed that crucified was in a fight in the alleys so i highly daubt that he spotted any humans nor ordered our pups into the den."She growled slightly."Some thin is up and we neede to get to the bottom of it now. Supposibly there is a pack called the lurkers that are trying to take over the valley and may try to steal the pups. Or so another alpha has told me and i think he might be telling hte truth"She said her tail flicking."you might want to go and see if your pups are at the den"

Sacrifice and Rapture

Sacrifice watched as he brother strode up to the lands. He was bloody and just coming out of his rage. He didn't see Betrayal, he had never seen Betrayal for when she attacked him he was already blind in rage. Rapture paused and looked to the group then watched as the alphess took off for another member. Sacrifice had a plan and she told it to Rapture.

The black and silver brute limped a canter to the two adults. Hi shoulder skin was missing as well as blood coming from his neck and body. "She has informed you correctly. I told Athara that I was Crucified. I know she wouldn't have delivered the message other wise. There are humans, The dogs are coming first, there are about 15 dogs, and four horses, each with a human atop their back! Believe it or not, I was not fighting to protect the pack, but to protect my sisters! Athara tells the truth of what she says, and I swear it on my life. There are humans and dogs coming from the north!" He fell to the ground his body trembling in pain as the adrenaline had worn off. Holding his breath in an attempt not to cry.

White Tip

"Well if there are then let them come or all the other pack members shall fend them off for im not leaving my kids i know there is a pack out there that will still them and i refuse to let them"

Rapture

Rapture's eyes constricted and he snarled a gurgling snarl. His mouth still filled with his own blood. "FOOLISH! you are no alpha to put your pack at risk just to save a few. And even still they will die along with the rest of them. Do you not hear me 15 dogs! There are what... 7 wolves in this pack!? All of the pups have left because of you White Tip, because you don't want them here. Your army falls because of you." He snarled and turned. Wither was only a few feet away with brilliantly gleaming orbs to her mother in fear. "Mother we have to run.. the.. the.. humans!" She cried and took off after Rapture in fear for her life. She never met his evil side and with how bloody he was, she followed him. Out of the lands and completely out of sight.

Ynear wabbled after Wither though stopped and turned to her mother. Crying "Mommie mommie! what do we do!?" She curled into a ball and started crying.

White tip

"wither get back here!"She grolwed but it was too late.She called to the pack.They would all congigate at the den.they would also mask their scents.

Kalaber:"momma ill get wither"HE said and then ran after her.His tail high.

palintina:She whined staying close to her mother.

Nachi

As the group debated, Nachi approached them, coming from the south. Keen ears caught most of what was said and plans were shifted quickly in her mind, "Wait, there is danger! You are right; both of you..." She began, looking from Rapture to White Tip. "The humans are closing in fast, but it seems that we have more problems now." Her looks were of pure frantic concern, although deep down she was furious at the sight of Rapture. His scent told her everything that Cavan had neglected to mention about the recent encounter. But, being so adept at deception, Nachi gave no hint what-so-ever to her true feelings, though she might guess Rapture knew them; if he knew who her brother was.

"I've hidden her pups back at the den, after masking their scents." Nachi said to White Tip, speaking of Twilight's young. "You stay with all of the pups, and everyone else will head north and face off with the humans. We can't defeat them, but we can lure them away at least." She paused a moment, her breath coming fast and hard after so much running as she had done, "I will go with these two," A nod was given to Sacrifice and Rapture,",to the northwest, and another group should go more to the north, just to be sure we get all the hunters' attention..." a fleeting look was given to Rapture and Sacrifice, trust me.

Rapture .+. Sacrifice

Rapture had turned, he had almost gotten away with the pups, Facing the far end he turned to the others who were few good meters away. Bleeding shoulder trembling in pain, but he said nothing as he glared back to White Tip. She wasn't his favorite being.

Wither curled up under Rapture. Fearing the evil men and knowing Rapture was a strong brute for even being alive through a conflict with 'them'. She watched Kalaber and spoke softly. "You are the heir you must run with us, and live. So in the future you can gain this land back!" She growled with strong words that wavered softly.

Sacrifice stood proud where she was at and watched Nachi. She was assuming this was the pup napper but said nothing and turned to White Tip for an answer.

Kage + Purgatory

I hear the call and grudgingly, no matter how much I hate the alpha bitch, I trot forth my eyes sullen as blood trails after me. My eyes cooly watch my son as he turns and run and I catch Hidden Betrayal's look. And Sacrifices. I know something's up now, I can see it in both of them. Hatred for the alphess defies everything in my entire bodice. My flash of rage burns into Sacrifice's eyes telling her everything. I'm in. I turn my savage gaze to White Tip and say in a harsh tone "This had best be important." It was a demand. My tail was held in a higher posture as my eyes bore into her own. I was not in the mood to deal with her.

Not Allowed to Be Let Free

I followed my sister, like a faithful puppy dog. I knew the plan. I let loose a howl, calling to my one friend here. Lion. I wanted to engage him and his siblings in a game. I could do it. He trusted me. Hopefully.

Sacrifice

Her lips held still as her mind smiled to the thought of Purgatory helping in their quest. She walked to purgatory with a whisper only purgatory would be able to hear. "I think Lion has gone already. Twighlight said her pups were taken by one called Athara. No need to call, we need to get the Alpha's pups. Wither seems to follow intently. Palitina seems easy to go as well. Ynear and Kalaber will be a challenge." She passed behind her sister and stood between Purgatory and Rapture. Eye's narrowing again hoping to throw the alphess in distress and fall into their plan.

cavalier

Like A Knight In Shinning Armor.

As his father swiftly departed, Cavalier did just as he was told - he stayed put. A good thing too, by the looks of things. All at once multiple wolves had just arrived with news of humans. Something was up. It took a lot to get by Cav, especially since he hadn't any pups to get irrational over, and their facade had done little to convince him.
Piercing blue eye narrowed ruefully, Cavalier strode purposefully towards White Tip, passing Kalaber and Wither along the way. That was another thing that didn't sit quite right with him. Sure Rapture looked like he could withstand a lot, but as a pup, why run to him and not your mother? He stopped a few feet away. Time to throw things out of sorts.
"If the humans come, they will certainly search all of it. Our canyon is well equipped to remedy such problems. White Tip, you, your young, and the rest of your pack are more than welcome to stay in my father's lands. There are six more in our pack and they would defend you all against humans quite adequately."

In truth, the canyon was a smart choice for such use as it only had two ways men with their horses could get in. The dogs could try to take the paths on the sides down, but only those who were accustomed to the canyon, as Cav and his pack were, made it down alive. Then there was the river. That made the first and southermost entrance to the canyon nigh impossible at it was wide, swift, deep, and full of sharp rocks. It was a defensive bit of land by itself.

Cavalier hoped White Tip liked the idea. Better to trust a potential friend than one you don't know or ones who clearly hated you, like Kage and Rapture had just proved. He glanced down at Kalaber hoping the pup might take to his idea. Cavalier just wanted them away from these wolves. They were intent on keeping them safe and away from their mother and it confused him to find that creatures who despised White Tip found so much interest in her pups. He probably should call in Vindari. Not only was she good with pups, but also she was good at reading questionable wolves, as Vindari was quite proficient with deceit, herself. The captain tossed his head back, a clear and crisply urgent call to his aunt Vindari escaping into the airspace above. Finishing quickly, his song hung in the air for a moment before be carried away by the wind. He looked over expectantly at White Tip, awaiting her word.

White Tip

She listened to this new fem but didn't reply.She wished crucified had never left.She nuzzled her two pups.Then she heard the son of the one she was to make a allies with she nodded."i like that plan i say we shall come your land."She then turned to her pack."i trust him now unless you all wish to die i suggest we move to the protection of his pack that way we have protection for us and the pups"She said calmly."if there are any objections then sty here if there are truelly humans that is"She sighed.

Kalaber:"wither mom is thinking you can't just run off like this"he whined."im staying and mom will be mad if you leave just yet"he ran back to his mother with or without wither and heard her last thing."i agree mommy"He barked

Pala:She sat by her mother.

Nachi

The plans in her mind altered again, but just slightly. Things could still work in her favor. The wolfess glanced at Kage, but was unable to determine what her stance might be as far as all this deception went. Better be safe than sorry; assume she was not trustable. "That is a good plan to go to a new terra; smart thinking." Nachi said, then looked to White Tip again, "I think the rest of us should scout on ahead though, and be sure that the way is clear; it would be a terrible mistake to have us all move at once, only to find ourselves in the midsts of so many hunters... we and the pups would surely die." She turned to the others, "The rest of us should move to the terra now and be sure the path is safe. Then Crucified and I can return here to tell White Tip if it is safe for the pups to cross." Speaking of Crucified, she looked to Rapture. She hoped this plan would work.

White

She listened and nodded."Fine but only wolves that dont have pups. And how can crucified help? The last i hear he was in the alleys"She glared slgihtly if she had an eyebrow it would be raised.She licked her jaws and then nuzzled kalaber.

Kalaber:He gazed at this unknown fem.He stood up tail over his back."who are you fem?And what are you doing on my fathers lands?"He growled

palS:eh styaed by her mother.

Nachi

"I beg your pardon, but this is Crucified..." Nachi replied, looking totally confused as she glanced to Rapture to White Tip, playing along with the information he had given earlier. "There must have been a mix-up, but in any case, we don't have time to dally here!" She looked to the others, "You should all go on ahead. Cruci- or, whoever you are, can come back and report to White Tip if the way is clear or not. And you too, just to help rally all the pups along." She added, looking to Sacrifice. "I will return to the Den and gather the pups there, and I'll meet you back here and wait till the coast is clear." She said, speaking now to White Tip.

Eyes flickered to Kalaber, "I'm Athara, and I was appointed as a pup-sitter, little darling." Attention now returned to White Tip, awaiting her reply. "We must make haste, or the humans will be here and all this planning will be ruined..." She needed the others to head out, and counted on her two allies to return. If they did... then the plan should work out smoothly. If not, she'd just have to improvise again. Or wait for her brother and go to plan B.

White

"he is not crucified i know my mate when i see him.I suggest that you get out of my land the both of you i do not like either of you you smell funny and you dont seem like an inviting pair.":SHe growled snapping at nachi."if he appointed you pup sitter he would of talked to me so get lost before i kill you"She was getting angryer and angrier.

Kalaber:He saw his mom getting mad to moved to the male that had invited them to his fathers lands.

pala:She too moved knowing her mothers rage only ment pain.

Rapture .+. Sacrifice

The siblings looked at each other and nodded with the agreement to move ahead. They started on their way until White blared out for Rapture and Nachi to leave. Sacrifice started to think it was time to bring in the rest of the pack. There were only three here, maybe four that could fight back. Kage didn't like White Tip, it was easily seen. Her eyes flicked to Betrayal in hopes for an answer to her question. should we call them.? then her eyes turned back to White Tip. Slight anger and confusion growing in them. "Crucified had left this lands for suicide!" Rapture interupted "Before I went to the north for the humans, Crucified told me if I saw one -he- thought would be trustworthy, to let them into the pack to help you. It's all he wanted!" The bloody wolf snarled. Trembling again in as a breeze floated past his arm.

Wither began to shrink away. There was so much anger she began to growl herself. "If we just sit here we'll die!" She whined out. Scared to death of death itself.

Nachi

The wolfess shied back, pasting her ears against her skull and lowering her frame to the ground, "Please, you must believe me! If the real Crucified is fighting as you say, then it makes sense that he used this fellow to give me orders." Nachi explained, looking terrified of White Tip and horribly anxious about the threat of humans, "Would you risk your own childerens' lives because you have some doubt in me? If you'd just listen to my plan.. it will work! What could go wrong? Look how many you have in your pack; how can I be of any threat when there are so many to defend you? My scent may be strange, yes, but that is because you don't know me. I carry no pack banner, so you know I have no friends or allies; I am alone. That's why I wanted to join this pack..." She took a step back, cowering even further to the ground, putting on a flawless act as she had done so in the past. It was true that she carried no odor of any pack, aside from this one where she had rolled in their scent markings, "Please, think of your little ones... we don't have time for senseless arguing!"

White

She growled."no he would of told me he would not tell anyone to accept anyone its pospoporous! Anyways you two plus this young son of the one i made an allie with will go and look over the land.Ill trust his words over you twos now go and be back quick"She snarled snapping at both.She then quickly went and scooped wither up before she could go anywhere.and then returned to the others holding wither.Kalber and palatina waited.

cavalier & & vatani

Like A Knight In Shinning Armor

A soft growl rose in the male's throat.

"The way is clear, else we would have been warned. I have called my father's sister, Vindari, and when she arrives, then we should go."

Cav was liking these wolves less and less with each passing second, and this Athara one needed to get her facts straight before she spoke again.

"Cav!"

A soft call from behind caught his attention. Vatani. She stepped out of the thick underbrush, having heard the last few minutes of conversation. Cavalier's silvery sister stopped beside him, amber eyes narrow. She was a good shoulder shorter but her artic blood still granted her some height, although speed and flexibility were her areas of expertise. Her aunt had been busy with a lost pup.

"Vindari is busy so I came in her stead. The way is clear, and Vindari will be there to welcome us. I suggest we all go at once. I find no need for a scouting party, I was just there."

Cavalier looked from his sister, then to White Tip, and then the pups. It was time to go.

"Yes, now would be an ideal time to leave. Although, I only extend the invitation to our ally, White Tip and her pack members, the ones she trusts. I will have none of you infiltrating my father's lands."

Cavalier nudged Vatani and she got the message. She dipped her head respectfully to White Tip and stood over Palatina(?), she was not going to take chances. Cavalier stood protectively over Kalaber. He observed the group around him carefully.

"You may join us when I am able to find trace of any humans. You all are welcome to stay in between the lands, but I will not allow you on my father's lands, I do not trust you nor are you allies . . . Let's go."

Cavalier nudged his sister and she carefully took up Pala in her jaws and started walking to the border. As she reached the No Wolf Zone, she glanced back at White Tip, beckoning her to follow. Cavalier in the meantime gave explicit orders to the young heir.

"Kalaber, stay close. And when I mean close, I mean nearly underfoot and in my way."

Cav was large - tall and sturdy, just as his sire and grandsire were. His arctic blood allowed him to stand over Kalaber without hindering either too much. With a soft push, he started off. He cast a parting glare at the unknown wolves then tossed his head back, relaying a short but informative message to his aunt. He told her they were on their was and that they should be alert, maybe send Rouge, Aleron, or Artemis over just incase.

Nachi

Alright, that blew it. Well, plan B would have to be used now, although Nachi had no clue how many members were in her brother's new pack, and if they were enough to take on Cav's pack as well as White Tip's. Still feigning the look of utter surprise and shock, Nachi blinked in disbelief, "I'm sorry you all feel this way about me; I only meant to be of help." She hung her head a bit, taking a few steps away from the group to grant herself some space from them. "If the way is clear, then by all means, travel as a group. And once you have found the humans... be careful not to lead them back to your own domain." She warned, her voice light and saddened, "Since we are not trusted, we should go." She looked to Rapture and Sacrifice as she said this, then looked briefly to the rest of the pack, "I wish the rest of you luck against the humans, and I pray they don't discover you..." Nachi paused, glancing to Twilight quickly, "I would get your pups for you, but I am not trusted it seems... you should hurry and get them while the way is still clear. They are waiting for you at the den." A second glance was shot to Rapture and Sacrifice as Nachi headed away, slipping quietly into the brush and out of sight.

White

She growled lightly and nuzzled her daughter."dont worry my child"She said calmly."If you can fend off who ever is attacking crucified in the alleys then our alliance shall be made.I will not leave my pups"

pal:She glanced at hidden but then layed down under her mother along with kalaber.

White Tip

She nodded and glared at the two and then shook her dial and kept wither in her mouth."ynear stay close to me"She said as she moved over the line."My pack if you are true to crucified follow that way if there are humans we have more protection i do not trust those two they are giving offa bad auror"She said and then continued on her way.

Kalaber:he listened to the male and nodded and stayed just about under him though a bit in front.

Pal:She stayed close to the female who had just showed up.

Twilight Beauty

She didn't speak up during the debate, for she honestly didn't know what to do. When the decision was finally made, she watched as her pack members began to head out over the line, and hoped they'd wait up for her while she went to gather her offspring. With an uncertain look to her alphess, Twilight Beauty headed for the Den Site.

Sacrifice

The silver fea passed the others from around and headed toward her mom. Whispering to where only the femme could hear. "Mother, Please, I am a Shadow Haunter, our mission is to kill White Tip and steal her pups." Her eyes narrowed, voice now cooeing. "If we get her out of the picture as well as her pups, it will be as if she never exsisted. The lands will be as they were when you first got here!" She smiled, "For now I must find Rapture, They will be waiting at Toklat Canyon. Come up with our own plan if you'd like" She said with a twinkle in her eye then ran off to help Nachi and Rapture
