*Athara*
Athara enters, gently placing Nachi on the ground. Drakar saunters in, and sits down, looking rather sulky. Nyx, though rather shaken, looks up at her mother curiously. "What were they?"
Cavan & Nachi
The fur along Cavan's back is still raised slightly, and he gives an inquisitive look toward Athara, wondering what those creatures were as well. Nachi shakes her fur and trots toward Nyx, "Yeah, what were they?"
Shadow
Shadow silently follows the bears scent. She looks aroud befre ontinuing and spots the den. She hears voices from inside and quickly moves downwind. She conceals herself beanth a fallen pine tree and it also masks her scent further.
Sedge Fur
Following silently after Shadow, Sedge Fur crouches beside her by the fallen pine, tilting his sharp ears to catch all the sound he could from the creatures ahead. And being downwind, the wolf sifts through the scents to learn how many bears there were.
*Athara*
Athara sighs softly. "They were wolves. Wolves are dangerous, but only to young cubs like yourselves. Now, you must rest. When you are older, you might have to defend youself against a wolf." Nyx nods, before yawning, and sauntering casually into the den, flopping down.
Cavan & Nachi
Nachi listens thoughtfully, then paces back into the den chamber, and lies down near Nyx. Cavan titls his muzzle to the wind to pick up scents, but finds nothing of interest. He couldn't wait till he was big enough to fight a wolf! After stretching lightly, the growing pup crawls back into the chamber and falls to sleep.
Storm Alarm
Following their trail, Storm Alarm creeps up behind her alphas. Being down wind, the scent of her pups come easily to her, and she trembles slightly, hardly able to contain herself just staying there. She wanted to get her pups back too badly.
Glider
He creeps up behind them and whispers to his alphas, "There is a strange wolf I heard call near our boarders. I believe Quamia has invited her into the territory temporarily."
Athara*
Drakar growls softly to himself, but goes into the den, flopping down beside Cavan. He was getting rather large for the den, but he and Nyx still fit. Nyx snores slightly, curled up next to Nachi. Athara paces to the entrance of the den, and lays down, putting her head on her paws.
Sedge Fur
Sedge Fur glances back at Glider and nods in acknowledgment to what he said; they would have to deal with that soon. But now the alpha watches the young ones retreat into the den. If they were asleep, or at least sleepy, his pack would have an advantage to suprise them more. Sedge Fur casts a questioning look toward Shadow, 'Should the pack attack now?'
Storm Alarm
Storm Alarm grows restless, and glances at her alphas, wondering when they would attack. She needed to see her pups, and get back to the Jais and Railu.
Athara
While her cubs lay sleeping in the den, she she sat outside it, looking around, sniffing the air. Something told her that there were wolves near, but she didn't smell any. But she had to be catious. She stays alert, listening.
Shadow
Shadow keeps her eyes on the den silently thinking. "I don't we should actually attack. We could not bring her down before, we can not bring her down now. Plus," she looks at Storm Alarm, "she also has cubs. Maybe there is perhaps someway to lure her out, then 2 of us can sneak in and get the pups. If it succeds though, we would be wise not to go straight to the pack. The kodiak knows where it is. We would find someplace away from the bear, so that Storm Alarm, or perhaps all of us, can tell the pups, their true origin. Who they really are." She looks back at the den, "It's a mohers instinct to feed her young, and i don't believe they have eaten in a while." Again she looks back to the wolves, "Maybe if we herded an 'injured' animal here, she would hear, smell, it. Hopefully her instincts would take over and she'll hunt for them. When she knows where the animal is one of us can chase it away from here mor, so that she'll be farther away. Easier for us to sneak the pups out." Shadow swiveled her ears back and lays down. "I have a feeling the bear knows we are here, but is not sure. She may ignore the animal, fearing for her um.....'family'. But then again, hopefully her instincts wil take over." She looks up at them, "What do you think? Of course we can just try and barge in there."
Sedge Fur
"That sounds good. Hey, I'll bet Thunder's Call could help as well. If we can't find any prey, she'll surely chase after him. He could lead her away from the den for sure." Sedge Fur turns to Glider, "Can you stay here to see if they go anywhere? The rest of us could locate some prey, or Thunder's Call."
Shadow
Shadow hesitates, "We may not need Thunder's Call this time. I'm not sure if you've noticed but we are on another wolfs territory. I'm surprised she hasn't scented us yet. She's the only one right now too. I could go to her and ask for permission to use her hunting grounds, or perhaps she could help us." She looks at her mate, "I'm almost sure she would help. What do you think?"
Sedge Fur
"That sounds like a better plan. We'd be better off with an extra wolf in the hunt." Sedge Fur stands up slowly, careful not to brush aginst anything that would cause to much noise. He was ready to find the alpha of the land.
Shadow
Shadow, ready as well, looks at the den entrance. Nothing was looking out so she turned to Sedge Fur, "Come on then," Shadow slips out from behind the fallen tree and out of the den area, headed for the main pack tt.
Sedge Fur
He nods and heads off that way after Shadow. Sedge Fur pauses once, glanceing back at the betas, signaling them to wait here for now. Then he continues on.
