Vevisca
The wolf limped into the lands, favoring a bloodied shoulder that would heal with time. He could smell a pup on the wind and it made him terribly curious. Who had a pup?
Cavan
Cavan came sauntering in, carrying a pup by the scruff of her neck. She belonged to the Pyrola Fields pack, but he had gotten his crazy sister to steal the youngster. He was worried about Tupit and thought that another youngster would help his son out. Cavan wasn't a very good father, and just didn't know how to deal with pups.
He set the pup down, placing a heavy paw on her so she couldn't get away, "Hey!" he barked to Vevisca, scenting Manov and the others on him, "Run to the den and get my son, would you? Bring him here to meet his new friend." Cavan ordered, then looked down at Eventine, the pup he had, "So, what's your name?"
Aava
Aava, driven here by one of her daughter's scents, walked through this terra. She took in the scents. She wasn't here to cause trouble, but she was here to find her daughter and bring her back home. To the Pyrola Fields. Aava had no idea how Eventine had gotten here in the first place. She still had to go to the ranch and fetch Esprit.
Aava halted near the wolves, eyeing the pup. She didn't klnow how she could take it, rough and hard like she usually was? She didn't know. All she knew was that she had to find her son and get her other daughter before they could be stolen possibly. "What is my pup doing here?" she sharply demanded under low growls. She wasn't in the mood for introducing. Her fur bristled and she stood in a defensive stance incase this wolf happened to attack or something.
Ghost*Ice*Ridged Edge*Dakota*White Flame*Manov
Alphess stalked in, a cloud over her head and brutal thoughts swerling around in her head. Destruction. She and Ridged Edge had just had a run in with the Shadow Lurkers, she hated the pack yet had no real reason to fight with them. Her auds perked up as she heard Aava's voice in her packlands demanding a pup. Orbs looked around to see where Hidden Betrayal was. She would becareful to watch her incase Aava got an idea to try and snatch her. Ghostly body made its way over to Vevisca, Cavan and the unknown pup that lay at his paws. Fangs bared she snapped at Aava, she remember her from the ranch when Becca had met almost certin death. "Get out of my lands and watch how you speak to my pack!" She growled at her. No one talked to her packmates in their own home that way, even if the pup was Aava's own.
A large cougar walked in behind Cavan and layed down a small pup beside the other. It was Cavan's own pup, Tupit.
Beside Ghost emerged Edge and White Flame. Rdge snarled and snapped at Aava's legs. His large cougar/wolf bodice wavered over Ghost, but yet not as big as Ice. Brute snarled at Aava warning her to back off. Flame just looked at Aava, not attacking her or anything like he would usualy would have done. He knew her and didnt think any bad of her, so to him, she was no threat.
Manov and Dakota came from behind Vevisca and sat down on either side of him. Dakota layed down and wrapped her bodice around his to keep him warm. Manov looked down on his once subordinate, still he needed to find his long lost mate Cortinarri.
Aava, Huttsa, White Eclipse, & Esprit
Aava moved back to avoid the little attacks. She had a right to be here if her pup was here. Each pack should mind their own business. Aava snarled at Ghost. "I have a right to be where ever my pups are. If I don't get my pup back, you WILL face the pain." she said under brutal growls. Aava wouldn't take this lousy talk from another alphess, no matter what land. "I ask again, to give me back MY pup." she snarled. She now knew who had stolen her pup, now remembering the scene. Aava would seek revenge on this theif, along with her brother.
Aava's brother, White Eclipse, came padding in quickly, in his strong hold was Esprit, Aava's other daughter. He didn't know why he brought her but Vivek wasn't back at the packlands anywhere and he couldn't leave her there alone. He gently dropped Esprit on the ground next to him and glared at Ghost. "Give back the stolen pup or you will regret it!" he snarled out. He wasn't one to mess with. His sister had come in and asked for her stolen pup back and hadn't even threatened this pack. He stood in a defensive stance, with ears laid back, tail high, and neck tucked in.
Huttsa soon came up beside White Eclipse. He stood on the other side of Esprit. She snarled and growled at Ghost and the others. Huttsa was more of one to try and make peace if it would be possible, but in this predicament he knew there was no time for that. Nobody stole a pup from the Pyrola Feilds and got away with it. "Will any of you listen and givbe back the pup? She is not of your own blood and doesn't belong to this pack." he said normally. He stood protectively over Esprit.
Esprit "woofed" at her sister, now taken captive by these animals. Esprit would grow up together with her sister and brother, so Aava would never give up getting back Eventine.
Lilliana
Trotting torwards Edge,panting heavily she laid down next to him."What was going on?" She quickly asked,knowing if she got an answer it probaly would be a long one."I also wish to meet everyone in the pack,if thats ok."She said quietly.
Aava
Aava looked to the new approacher. "This pack has stolen one of my three pups and I am trying to get her back." Aava said gruffily. She tucked her neck in and quickly lashed her head out at Eventine, jaws open wide. She shut her jaws tightly, hoping that she had succeeded in grtabbing her daughter's scruff. She then quickly pulled back her head to avoid any attacks on her head.
Ghost*Ridged Edge
Ghost snarled as Aava's friends came into her packlands uninvtied, and unwanted. "I haven't taken your pup. I knew nothing of it until now. The only pups I have are the ones that belong here." She snapped back at Aava. Orbs looked down at the pup that was unknown and guessing that was the one she wanted.
Edge looked down at Lilliana and nodded to her when she finished, saying that she could meet them. When Aava went to snap at her pup, he snapped at her head warning her to watch what she did.
Aava & White Eclipse
Aava had pulled her head back in time. "Mind your own business! This is my pup. I have a right to take her back! I had happened to see that a wolf by the name of Nachi had stolen my pup. We have come in peace and now wish to GO in peace." she snarled out.
White Eclipse, seeing Edge snap at Aava, snapped at him. He quickly went to bite Eventine's scruff quickly, then he pulled back his head to ensure no sudden attacks on his face. He started growling loudly, warning the others not to interfere, despite this being their land, but this pup happened to be Aava's and Vivek's. White Eclipse could only hope that Vivek would come along. Unlike Eclipse, Aava had her complete attention on Eventine and the other alphess.
Lilliana
Lilliana studied all the wolven around her and Edge for a second before getting up."Hello all,I am Lilliana."She said in a muffled voice,"This isn't the best time is it?"She muttered to Edge,glanced at the pup.
Aava & White Eclipse
Aava looked back to Lilliana. Aava shook violently. She raised her tail high and started growling louder. "Give me back my pup!" she snarled. She wasn't taking any orders from anybody right now. She kept wary eyes on Ghost and the others.
White Eclipse continued to growl. His massive body lunged forward halfway to snatch Eventine up.
Cavan & Tupit
Cavan snarled sharply, pressing his paw heavily on Eventine and snapping his feindish jaws at White Eclipse as he drew near. If anyone wanted this she-pup, they'd have to take out Cavan first. "Back off!" he warned, "Or else." He let his words off at that, letting Aava and her friends use their imagination for what ever they thought he could do. He smirked inwardly to himself, hearing his sister's name being mentioned. He would have to thank her later, somehow.
Tupit hunched down at his father's hind legs, ears pinned and tail tucked. He was frightened by all that was going on. Unlike his father, his nature was very timid and he was rather clingy if he got to know someone well enough. And since his father was the only one he ever shared time with, Tupit was a 'daddy's boy' for now.
Aava, White Eclipse, Huttsa, Tamira, Kavik, Haiku, Esprit, Lancaster, & Tawni
These weren't just Aava's friends, but her pack. She let out a vicious snarl at Cavan, warning him to give back her pup. "Give me back my pup!" she again snarled out. She lowered her body and used her powerful hinds to launch her off the ground. She aimed straight for the wolf that held her pup hostage. Jaws open wide, she wanted to rip this animal to shreds, and his sister. The one whom had comitted the crime. Her teeth were set for his neck.
White Eclipse, seeing Cavan's reaction, quickly leapt forward to grab Tupit. He would give this lousy father a taste of his own medicine. White Eclipse snapped his jaws shut where he last seen the pup, hoping to get the scruff. Not bothering to see if he had succeeded, he quickly pulled back his head and then whole body to avoid any attacks from the others, especially Cavan. White Eclipse quickly moved back, still not bothering to see.
Huttsa seen the attack Aava made and so started snapping viciously at Cavan, trying to distract him from Tupit and White Eclipse.
Soon, another small pup came bounding past and sat strongly next to Esprit. Haiku shown his ragged puppy teeth at the strangers and snarled bravely. Haiku was the adopted pup. He was bold and agressive. He had been abandoned by both parents and hadn't yet found out that one was dead, along with his wandering siblings. He stood up to bigger animals, and glared angrily at Ghost, trying to reach her height by raising himself using his hinds while he sat right next to Esprit, who started licking him, thankful that he was alright.
Tamira soon came, tail raised at the scene. She had brought Kavik, Lancaster, and Tawni after hearing all of the commotion. She stopped next to the two pups, tense and willing to fight t get back Eventine. Of course, she had never met Eventine, but she couldn't stand to see pups being stolen from their rightful parents. And this time, the theif was going overboard. She bared her sharp fangs at Ghost and the rest, warning them.
Kavik came to sit by Tamira, a look of disgust on his face. He watched everything that went on, keeping his ears back and fangs bared, also tense.
Lancaster and Tawni, two cougar siblings, quickly followed after Tamira. They sat nearby, watching with much amusement. This oculd get interesting... A family, risking death to get back a stolen pup. Tawni felt ready to go, but her brother kept her quiet and in the sitting position. Their curled tails whipped the breezes and lashed out at bugs.
Vevisca
The wolf was startled by all this action, for he was new to this pack, although good friends with Manov. While he didn't agree with what Cavan had did, he knew he must be loyal to Manov's pack. The one-eyed wolf sprung for Huttsa with a low growl. He attempted to tackle the other and keep him from Cavan.
Vevisca wasn't the best fighter, as his missing eye was testimony too. But he was no weakling or push-over.
Huttsa
Huttsa was too busy trying to distract Cavan that he hadn't noticed what was coming. He was quickly slammed into and he toppled to the ground. Growling out his fury, he stood and panted hard. Without wasting another second, he dashed forward, head low, aiming to talke Vevisca back. Huttsa wasn't the best fighter, but he could handle a wolf or two.
Ghost*Ridged Edge*Ice*Dakota
Ghost looked down at the small pup who was growling at her, then she bared her own fangs, they were blood covered and dripping with saliva. Her orbs burned with madness because of what was going on. Then she nodded to Ice.
Suddenly Ice emitted a loud snarl that echoed throughout the packlands calling everyone to a stop. Then he launched his large cougar body at Huttsa to get him away from Cavan.
Edge jumped at White Eclipse to also get him away, things needed to be said before it got out of hand.
Dakota went in under everyone and grabbed Tupit up from behind and emitted a small whimmper from her maw so he would know she was on his side. Manov jumped towards the stolen pup from its side and tried to grab hold softly before anyone else got to her.
Cavan, Nachi, & Tupit
Cavan went for White Eclipse, snapping feverishly at his face and neck. With his missing eye and deaf ear, he didn't realize how close Aava had gotten to him until he felt the pain at his neck. Give a yelp that he tried to muffle, Cavan ducked and yanked back, feeling his flesh give way and warm crimson seep thick into his summer coat. Snarling afresh, he turned his snapping fangs to the alpha, trying to drive her back.
With no one to talk to at the Ridges, Nachi had decided to trail her brother, but just for a while. She didn't like packs. Arriving on scene, Nachi laid her ears flat and lowered her body aggressively. Being a rather bizzare wolf, she had in recent years tried to mimic cat behavior; she idolized cats. Now her wolfish tail was swished jerkily back and forth and she made quite an interesting rumbing, growling type of noise to express her displeasure. She'd defend her brother if she needed.
Tupit watched as White Ecplise came near, but at the last moment he gave a sqeak of surprise as someone from behind lifted him up. He curled up instantly and was reasured by the whimper.
Nightcrawler
After an interesting encounter with a human, the ebon wolf was back. He was startled to say the least with what was going on, but didn't stop to question things. It was obvious his pack was under attack, for what ever cause, and his duty was to protect and be loyal to them. Snarling and bristling, Nightcrawler stepped in near his pack, ready to fight if need be. He was surprised to see Nachi, having met her once before. He knew her for a strange, coy creature and the sister of his friend, Jais.
Aava, White Eclipse, Huttsa, & Haiku
Aava pulled away from Cavan, feeling some of the crimson seeping from a new wound, near her eyes. She snarled and pawed her head, then opened them to check on her pup. Seeing Manov go for her, she quickly launched herself at the wolf and started snapping her jaws shut around wherever she last saw the animal. She wouldn't risk Eventine getting taken away again.
White Eclipse moved back and wheeled around away from Cavan, but turned back around sharply, fangs bared. He breathed heavily and then swatted a large paw at Edge. Cavan would feel sufferage and pain when White Eclipse got to him. He stood ready, neck tucked, and then snapped his jaws shut around Edge angrily and pulled back his head again.
Huttsa yelped and snarled when the cougar jumped at him. He turned swiftly and padded quickly over to Haiku and Esprit. He stood next to them, eager to go for another attack. He was just resting now, but when he seen Manov go for Eventine, he launched his large body at the other wolf and snapped his jaws shut several times wherever he last seen Manov.
Haiku ignored Ghosts' dripping fangs and kept snarling at her. He lifted a small pup paw and swatted at her, ears laid back, tail raised, neck tucked. He had learned much from Aava, but right now this was a big problem that could cause trouble in the future. Haiku was in no mood to put up with any of this. He lowered his body and growled louder at Ghost.
Lilliana
Lilliana wondered continueously if she should jump in and start fighting,but was she even accepted into Edge's pack yet?Maybe taking charge and fighting 'side Edge would push her into the pack.She didn't really care if she got hurt,she couldn't stand watching her friend...seemingly pack-member get pushed around and bit.With a quick breath and nodd she ran up near White Eclipse and Edge.She nudged White with her strong cranium hard in the belly and jaw,hoping it might knock him off ballance alittle."Don't touch Edge."Was mistakenly emitted with a snarl from her maw.
Ghost*Manov
Manov snarled and turned around as the other jumped at him, tearing a small portion of his coat off with its teath. Turning around he snarled visioucly. Ghost bit at the pups paw as it came near her maw. Then with her own she swated back at it. Lifting her head she emitted a snarl out for everyone. "NOW STOP! These are my packlands and I will not have this going on! Cavan and Aava have a problem they need to settle, make a deal and fight then leave it after that." She snarled at them.
Vivek, Bagre, & Eventine
Vivek entered late, feeling guilty as ever. It was his responsibilty to be watching Eventine when she wondered away. Snarling with great malice, he stood beside his mate, glaring hard and furiously at the others, "Give her back!" he demanded.
Bagre, the large brother of Esprit and Eventine, padded lightly after his father, curious but frightened by the ordeal before him. A small buffet from Vivek's hind leg told Bagre to move back. Rumbling agrily at the other pack, the youngster sauntered over to the cougars and sat back on his haunches. He didn't know these felines, but he knew they were on his side.
Eventine was frightened badly and coiled herself into a small ball. She felt the hot breath of the wolves as one or the other had tried to pluck her up. She knew not which side she was on now, since her eyes were closed tightly and her ears laced back tightly to her skull in mortal fear.
Manov
Brute stepped forwards toward Vivek, they had a past and it was a good one. Orbs glared at him as his maw opened. "Vivek, you would do well to comply with Ghost's wishs. We go back along time, you know I wouldn't be asking you this unless it was for your own good." He said to him, also looking at Aava as he spoke. Manov knew that White Flame had before talked with Aava and they had become friends, but that could all be changed in a moment.
Aava, White Eclipse, Haiku, & Esprit
Aava turned swiftly when she heard Vivek. She let out a sigh of releif and walked over to him. She turned and stood next to him. "What took you? These wolves won't give our pup back... Yet." she said, not in an angry tone, but sorta... Unusual for herself. She looked to her pack and then stared back at Eventine after giving her brother a quick nod.
At the nod from his sister, White Eclipse sprung up again and aimed his maw for Eventine's scruff to pull her out of this mess. He growled and made the quick take, pulling back his entire body before anyone else could take the pup back, if he even had her.
Esprit, happy to see Bagre, slowly hopped over to him and and started to playfully push him over. Esprit knew this wasn't the time to be playing, but she had a little idea so that they both could go back to their packlands without seeing anything else here.
Haiku angrily snorted and pulled back his paw. He snarled and quickly followed after Esprit, wondering whom this new pup was. He sat up next to Esprit, a confused look but it soon disappeared and came back into a playful grin instead.
Vivek, Bagre, & Eventine
Vivek narrowed his eyes more, shifting to Ghost, "I remember being stolen once. By friends of yours. I also know that a friend of yours has killed one of my own. Warrior." His snarls deepened.
Bagre growled happily, batting a paw at his sister. He was about to tackle her when he spotted Haiku. Grinning, he whispered to his sister, "Lets get him." Bagre sprung at the other youngter, trying to bowl him over. But it was all in good nature.
Ghost*Manov*Dakota
She bared his fangs at Vivek at his response. "I had nothing to do with you being stolen. A friend of mine? If you are meaning Legosa, he is not my friend, I loath him." Looking at the pups quickly as they began to play she looked back at Vivek. She stepped towards him. "Do it this way, fight Cavan for the pup, if you win, its over, you take your pup and leave. But if he wins, he takes your pup, and you do not get it back!" She growled, getting violently angered. Orbs glared from Vivek to Cavan, then to Aava.
Manov looked around for Hidden Betrayal, where had she gone? He had the stolen pup in his maw, slowly he backed up watching if others would suddenly attack him. Dakota was laying down with Edge and Ice circleing her, she had Cavan's pup Tupit laying beside her to keep him safe. Manov put down the stolen pup and put his paw on its tail, digging his claws in so the pup wouldnt be able to run off.
Hidden Betrayal
Small pup crawled towards the group. She watched Aava warily. She had to pass her to get to Ghost. She couldnt go around for the others were there. She let out a frustrated sound and strode past Aava with a growl of warning. She saw Tupit and brightened. She didnt show it well but a light sparked in her hollow eyes breifly. Slowly she walked over to Ghost and Manov and faced the intruders bravely. "I believe you have been asked to leave. I also believe that is the smartest thing to do or face Aaka" not the smartest thing to say but in a way it was. Aaka and Moon Spirit were the two shadows of the north. Heard of but unknown to many. Plus Betrayal didnt think her new mom would like Aaka interfering in this. She shrunk down in fear of being reprimended but she would take her punishment
Aava, White Eclipse, Haiku, & Esprit
Aava watched the oncoming pup with no interest. She could care less for another's pup, unless that other was of her friends. She thrust her head the other way. When the pup spoke, she started growling. "You have no part in this. I face no one unless they look to death itself." she snarled out. She flicked her tail in annoyance. Then, she reacted to Ghost's words. "That is a decision that is not one for you to choose." she snarled out at the other alphess. She stood next to Vivek and eyed the pups cautiously.
White Eclipse seen the other take Eventine, and he quickly sprung at Manov. This was far from over; it wouldn't be until the stolen pup was back with her true parents. White Eclipse tried to snag Eventine away after he snapped his jaws shut at Manov, not truely caring where he might have hit, but his real target was Eventine.
Haiku snarled playishly when Bagre leapt. He was quickly pushed back to the ground, pawing the air wildly, straining to get back up. Once he finally did, he batted a paw at Bagre playfully. Haiku loved playing and making new friends, so this was a great oppertunity for him to have some fun.
Esprit giggled and also sprung for Haiku, pawing his face and then turning around quickly to avoid the attacked pup's own paws, which were still sprawled out trying to swat at Bagre.
Enola*Hidden Betrayal
Hidden Betrayal was about to snap at the other but then she saw a flash of grey in the bushes. Startled and curious she glanced at Ghost before stalking towards it bodice low. She let out a soft growl as she passed the other pups. She continued towards the other bush when a small grey blur leaped at her. "Enola!" she yelped in delight. Both females barked and yipped but something was wrong with Enola. It was visible in the eyes of the beholder.
Small grey pup quietly got up from playing with Betrayal. "Uh....um....I...." she stopped. She didnt know how to go on. Her mother had died and she didnt want to go with Aakas brother Storm. Her father. Weakling. The only reason she didnt go with Aaka was because of Aakas current.....problems. Moon Spirit would take her in but she didnt want all that sympathy. She had found Betrayal. Maybe Ghost would give her a home to.
Vivek, Bagre, & Eventine
Vivek snarled lightly, "Legosa.. yes, I remember his name now. But I'm not going to give up my pup for just one fight." He replied in a serious, definate tone, "Just give her back, and no one will get hurt. If not, our whole pack will fight for what is theirs." The alpha glared at Ghost and the others. He would fight soon if no agreement could be met.
Bagre closed his eyes as he was batted, his growls growing louder. He batted happily back at the other pup, then tried to pin him to the ground.
Aava, Esprit, & Haiku
Aava watched this little word battle with much interest. Her tail was raised high and a single tooth was slightly bared as a warning to the "half-strangers" and complete strangers. Aava had only encountered some of these animals at the ranch before, so she wouldn't go easy if their pup faced any danger.
Haiku pawed at Bagre again, letting a light laugh escape him as he was pinned to the ground, tail twirling around like a kitten's at play. He playfully raised his head upward and tried to nip Bagre's face.
Esprit giggled and started to nip back at Haiku, a look of delight in her eyes. Her paws played around wildly but in a playful manner as she continued to swat at the pinned-down pup.
Aaka*Betrayal*Enola
Aaka had appeared catching word that a pup had been stolen. Thinking it was Betrayal she had come to make sure. Seeing her 'pup' safe and sound she turned to glare at the others. She saw Vivek and tensed. "Vivek?" she questioned. He had lived in her territory for a short time. She stood by Ghost showing that even though she knew Vivek she wasnt on his side. "This isnt your territory Vivek. Or yours Aava. Even though the pup is yours that is no reason to trespass. Now....Fight for the pup. Whoever stole the pup against Vivek." Aaka was tense from fatigue and anger. Knowing that Betrayal and Enola were alright relaxed her slightly but not enough. She wasnt Manovs friend having almost killed his mate. She wasnt exactly Ghosts friend but she would protect her as long as betrayal was in her care.
Seeing Aaka put both pups at ease. Enola as well as Abamacho Moon Spirits pup took after Aaka. Betrayal was her own self. Growling in play Enola bounced over to her Aunt. "Aaka play with us!" she yipped
Cavan & Tupit
Cavan rumbled quietly, hoping that even if he lost the fight, his pack would still back him up. "Vivek, are you afriad you'll lose to me?" he taunted craftily, pressing dangerously close to the alpha, "Fight me!" he whispered in a leering tone, gazing intently at Vivek with his good eye.
Tupit looked over at the pups with some curiousity. His siblings and mother had apparently died, or disappeared, a while ago. Never had he played in his life. It was partly due to his father, who was no great care-taker, leaving Tupit to get very sickly and weak.
Aava, White Eclipse, & Huttsa
Aava tensed and stiffened her tail. She growled and pulled her ears back when the other wolf came. "It may not be my territory, but a pup that is mine does give me some privilege, no matter what." she said under harsh growls. She moved quickly near Cavan, watching him intently with her cold brown eyes. She bared her fangs and snarled at him.
White Eclipse started growling as well. He padded over next to his sister and glared at Aaka and the others. For some time he had been like a little "guardian" for his sister, since he was older. He bared his fangs and swished his tail around, getting irritated and restless.
Huttsa stood on the other side, opposite of Aava, and nearer to Vivek then anyone else. He stood a ways off though, and would wait to see if Vivek would fight before he would spring up into life. He kept his eyes on the ones whom lived here, glancing back at Aava and the others occasionally.
Aaka
Aaka snarled and would have leaped at Aava right then and there but instead she took a calming breath and smiled. She stalked closer and closer to Aava her eyes flashing. This wasnt her land either but her pups were here. If any pup that she knew got hurt there would be hell to pay. She didnt know if Ghost knew about her little problem with protecting any pup. This however was important. She didnt growl she just smiled that wolf smile and stopped mere inches from Aava. "You have been warned. If any.....Harm comes to your pup you cannot blame me or this pack. You have also been warned of the Silver Glades Pack. Tread lightly Foolish alpha. Youll need the extra warning." Aaka was a strong ally to any pack. Especially with Viveks being so small. The sedge creek pack were also on Aakas side. Ghost was an....ally of sorts. Not to mention the Shadow Lurkers. Aaka was a friend of many. Numbers can defeat all.
Enola continued to play with Betrayed but got bored when the other female wouldnt attack her back. Huffing she went and sat next to Ghost showing her disapproval.
Betrayed cocked her head and trotted over to Tupit. "Wanna play?" she asked
Lilliana
Lilliana(who was not paying attention that well adn was in back of everyone)watched for a minute then nodded for Edge to come over.
Aava & White Eclipse
Aava glared at Aaka, whom must think she is everything that matters, other than pups. This pack had a price to pay, and peace wouldn't cut it. She snarled at Aaka, and did her own wolfish smile. "Do you really think words will change what I plan to do? Think again. And don't mistake size as a weakness or advantage." she said under growls. She raised her tail high and glared intently at Aaka. "I am not the one whom is foolish. I am the one who is doing the duty of a mother!" she snapped at the fae.
White Eclipse pounced next to his sister and growled at Aaka. "This isn't your fight and this isn't dealing with any of your pups. So stop acting foolish yourself!" he snapped at her. He was getting raged now. He raised his tail also and tensed his body. He kept an eye on his sister's pups, seeing as how she wasn't very much.
Ghost*Mitya*Dakota*Ridged Edge*Ice*Manov*White Flame
Ghost bared her fangs slightly at Aaka when she came into her packlands. There was an unsaid alliance between them. Normally she would question her being here and why she was on her side, but Ghost knew, it was for the pups sake. Her orbs glared at Aava, this thing could be settled so easily, but not this was not her fight. Auds pirked as a sent came to her nares, orbs looked over at Manov and nodded for him to leave.
Manov also perked up as the scent came to him, at first he didnt believe it was true. He looked carefully at everyone, keeping his alert he turned and trotted off towards Cortinarri... his mate.
Dakota wasn't usualy one to get aggresive and get into fight, but this was different, pups were involved. When Eclipse snarled at Aaka, she lept and landed infront of him snarling. "She has everything to do with this!" Then suddenly her fangs snapped at the brute maw.
Mitya came in just as everything was about to unfold, fangs bared as she saw Aaka, she hated her. Memories of her almost fatal fight came before her, the stick had entered her side and peirced a lung, filling it with blood. Orbs came to the pups that where near where Dakota had been, Betrayal, Enola and the stolen pup. She snarled as she walked towards then, striding back and forth looking at them. If the stolen pup tried to get away she would snap her up.
White Flame looked over at Mitya when she came into the packlands, he also went over to the pups, he bared his fangs at Mitya to show his anger. Orbs looked down at the pups, curiously.
Ridged Edge troted over to Lilliana when she nodded to him, what could she want? Ice turned and came with him, at the moment they had nothing to do and were both bored.
Aava, White Eclipse, Esprit, & Haiku
Aava snarled when she seen Dakota land in front of her brother. With a loud snarl, she bared her fangs and leapt over to her sibling's side, and she lashed her fangs out at the fae. "She has nothing to do with this! It is my pup, not hers, not yours! You should be smarter than that!" she snarled out. She bristled her fur and started to growl out of fury and rage. She breathed hard and glared intently at Dakota.
White Eclipse, slightly stunned when the fae lept in front of him, pulled back his head in time, for she only succeeded in giving a few scrapes to his maw. He snarled furiously and pawed at his face to get rid of most of the leaking blood. The crimson stained his white pelt making him look somewhat like a demon of sorts. When he was angry, he was worse than a herd of rampaging buffalo, or close to it. As another sudden reaction, he had raised his large paw to slap her hard.
Esprit, seeing her uncle and mother getting, what to her, attacked alot, put her in a mood of hatred and fright. Without thinking, her small body bounded over the ground to Aava's side and she lashed her tiny pup-paw out at Dakota. She let a snarl of her own pop out of herself as her mother quickly picked her up and sat her down behind her. Haiku, seeing it all, quickly ran to her and sat down.
Vivek, Bagre, & Eventine
Vivek glared hastily at Aaka, knowing full well how many allies she had, and it unsettled him a great deal. He flashed his furious eyes from Cavan to Aaka, "I just want her back, that's all!" he could tell by her words and actions that pups, at least the ones here on her side, seemed to be of especial importance to her. He tried to use that knowledge to hedge an advantage, "My pack and I will fight for my daughter. And what if, in the melee, something accidental happens to one of your little ones? You can prevent any 'accidents from happening... stop this before it gets out of hand. No one needs to get hurt."
Bagre pulled himself up and followed after his sister and new friend. His fur bristled on his little pup-body. But seeing Esprit being put down behind Aava, Bagre set stood behind his mother as well.
Eventine looked around frightenedly. She stood up a little bit, but her legs were still bent in a crouching position and her tail was tucked tight against her belly. She looked as if she were about to make a bolt towards her parents.
Lilliana
Lilli padded quickly over to eventine,seeing she was about to leap forward."Hello,I'm Lilliana."She murmured to the fae,watching the arguement continue.
Lancaster
The large cougar bounded back into the terra, his toung lolling out of his mouth. The trip here was tiring, but he managed it. He was very young anyway though. He stopped near Vivek, panting a bit from the long run from the Breve Ridges. "You are wanted!" he called out to the wolf. "By your... Grandfather?" he said confused. He recalled the strange wolf calling him his Grandson. Lancaster stopped panting finally and he looked the scene over. "He is at the Breve Ridges. He asked to come get you for him. He is too unfit to come." he said quickly. He started to slightly hop while he sat, waiting for Vivek's reply.
Vivek, Bagre, & Eventine
Vivek was startled by the cougar bounding towards him, but he could tell it carried their pack's scent. Diverting his attention just slightly from the battle, he took a quick moment to reply to the feline, "My grandfather? Peregrine!" he nearly yipped, "Is it urgent? I cannot leave now..." He looked desperately to his mate and daughter, not knowing what to do. "Could you take my place for a moment?" he questioned at last, "And try to get my daughter back?"
Bagre wagged his tail, looking up at the cougar.
Eventine froze again, blinking back curiously at Lillian. Despite the harrowing ordeal, the pup turned her toughts almost completely onto this fae, "Hiya." her voice was tiny and uncertain, but grew a bit more bold, "I'm Eventine."
Lancaster
Lancaster looked around, trying to think if Peregrine had mentioned anything urgent. He couldn't remember anything, so he piped up. "I don't think it is urgent; He never said. He just told me to come here... And get you." He felt uncertain about trying to get a pup back. "I believe I could try to get your daughter back. My sister is still at the Breve Ridges waiting. Could you tell her I am here?" he asked quickly. He whipped his tail around and looked to Eventine, edging closer to her. He looked down at Bagre, looking intently. He had never really encountered a young wolf pup before. He thought that perhaps trying to edge closer to Eventine every once in a while would help him get her back into the rightful paws.
Lilliana
Lilliana smiled at Eventime,getting her mind away from all the action taking place."Nice to meet you Eventime,are these your parents?"Lilliana gestured.
Vivek, Bagre, & Eventine
"Thank you, I will be right back." Vivek vowed. The alpha, although regretting leaving, knew a cougar was a far more powerful stand in than himself.
Bagre still watched the cougar, fascinated, "You gonna get my sister back?"
Eventine took up a saddened look as she gazed towards her retreating father and Aava, "Yes, they are my parents. I want to go back to them..."
Cavan, Nachi, & Tupit
Cavan snarled bitterly, "I thought this was a fight between me and him! I'm not crazy enough to take on a cougar." He huffed angrily, glancing back to Ghost for support.
Nachi snorted, "I could take him, easy!" So saying, the wolfess prepared to make a lunge at Lancaster, but was promptly grabbed on the tail by her brother, "Hang on, Sis! Are you mad?" He growled out in surprise between clentched teeth. A feigned snap by Nachi got him to release. "Use common sense, Sis. You aren't a big cat. Maybe if you had your friends here... but you don't." Nachi wrinkled her nose in disgust, but knew her brother was right. "Fine, I'll wait."
Tupit looked to Betrayed and, for the first time in his young life, offered a grinning-smile. "Yup." he piped out in a voice sounded too tiny for even his little body. He stood and dropped his front end to the ground in a play bow. His lanky-pup tail wagged high in the air, inviting her to play.
Aava, White Eclipse, Lancaster, Esprit, & Haiku
Aava glared at Cavan. She snarled at him before turning to look at her pups. She looked over to Bagre and Lancaster, examining the scene. She also stared intently at Lilliana, just daring her to make the wrong move. She also kept her eyes glancing back and fourth from the others. "Lancaster's sister could have came along too with him. Your lucky both of them aren't here." she said under a harsh tone.
White Eclipse padded over to his sister and sat back on his haunches near her.
Lancaster sent a cougar snarl over to Cavan and Nachi. He stood and glared at them. But he soon turned his attention back to the small Bagre. "Yes." he said in a whisper. He whipped his long curled tail in the air before edging yet even closer to Eventine. He was getting closer so he could snatch her up, but he only sent a few glances over to her occasionally. He was getting close enough that he could just pick her up, but he stayed in his sitting position.
Esprit and Haiku stayed behind their mother and sent little looks to each other. They quietly crawled over to Bagre and plopped next to him. They both stared at the cougar with big, curious eyes.
Lilliana
"Oh.."Lilliana sighed,looking torwards Aava."Hello,I'm Lilliana,I was just talking to your lovely pup Eventine."She said to Aava,seeing the thoughts she was thinking about her and Eventine talking.
Aaka
Aaka Glared at Lancaster and stood in front of him so that she was between him Eventine and Lilli. Softly in her ice cold voice she said "Any closer and you will wind up dead." she wasnt kidding. She had a cougar for a friend a lynx as another friend. She was tired hungry and wishing to go back home. But she couldnt leave. Not now. Aaka never backed down. Mitya would know all about that.
Betrayed yipped and pounced towards Tupit lightly thumping him on the head. Seeing his form and how weak he was she took it easy. Softly she said "Do you wanna get out of here? I dont like these wolves....We can go play with Moon Spirit and her pups then come back when everything is calm again" She smiled at him warmly. She liked Tupit despite his scraggy looks.
A thought crossed Aakas mind. Peregrine. Hunter. For a moment she was confused on what to do. Rush away and tell Hunter that Peregrine needed help....Or stay here and protect 'her' pups. Clenching down her teeth she growled low at the cougar once more. She was staying. Hunter would just have to find Peregrine herself.
Aava & Lancaster
Aava glared at Aaka. What a follish animal. "Get any closer to my pup and you'll fall dead!" she angrily announced. She circled around to face her, fangs bared. She snarled and swatted a paw at her. She had no right to act like Eventine was of her own. They started it, Aava would finish it.
Lancaster snarled at Aaka. He had no fear of such selfish wolves. With a swish of his tail, he leapt at her, cougar fangs bared. He had no specific aim. He only knew that he was going to get this pup back for Aava, like it or not.
Cavan, Nachi, & Tupit
Tupit grinned widely, his glistening puppy-fangs looking both playful and cruel. He swatted back at her, but missed horribly and actually knocked himself off balance and toppled forward. Picking himself, flush with another grin, he yipped to Betrayed, "Yeah! Lets go somewhere!" his voice was hushed though, because he didn't want his father to hear and stop him.
Cavan didn't hear a word of what his son and new friend were speaking of. Seeing Lancaster jump, the scar-faced wolf did the same. But he went instead for Aava! His malicious jaws strove to sink into the alphess's muzzle...
Nachi waited for just a second, watching the action heat up. Trying to find an opening and look inconspicuous, the strange wolfess suddenly darted forward. She tried to take up Haiku, and yank him back to her side, where Eventine was being held captive...
*Ice* ¤Ridged Edge¤
*The large cougar lowered his body then launched himself at Lancaster snarling he aimed to knock te other cougar down from attacking Aaka. His fangs bared trying to bite into anywhere he could.*
¤Ridged Edge stood infront of the pups, so they could not be takin. White Flame was also there garding the pups.Edge bared his large fangs at Eventine, he had a thought to pick it up and snap it in half.¤
Vevisca
Vevisca lunged at Lancaster as well, trying to latch onto one of the cat's hind limbs and hold it at bay. He still held some loyalty for Aaka; remembering their short talk after the battle where he had lost his eye.
Lilliana
Lilli stood next to Edge,guarding the pups.She might have not looked tough but she had experience and kenw what she would do if anything dangerous happened torwards her or the pups.The last thing she'd like to see would be a killed pup laying before her.
Aaka
Aaka snarled and leapt back away from the cougar. She nearly fell over the pup but caught herself glaring at the cougar as Ice leapt at him. She was shaking and had forgotten her talk with vivek.
Betrayed grinned and turned towards Aaka. Seeing her and Ghost both busy she began to trot towards the sedge creek territory den away from the fight.Turning she yipped to Tupit.
Aava, White Eclipse, Esprit, Haiku, & Lancaster
Aava snarled when she felt Cavan's teeth sink into her tender muzzle. As a sudden reflex, she immedietly pulled back, and then getting an idea, pushed her head forward again to try and knock Cavan off balance with a strong headbutt...
Haiku snarled when he felt himself being yanked back by Nachi. He looked upward and raised a paw to try and flail it to hit her muzzle, but he knew he wouldn't have much luck at that.
Esprit gasped when she seen her adopted brother being taken. She snarled and bristled her fur, while also revealing many small pup-fangs. She eased back to Aava and glared intently at Nachi and the others.
White Eclipse hadn't noticed Haiku being taken, so he went for someone else. He leapt up into the air after seeing Ice go for Lancaster. He aimed to knock the other cougar down to stop him from attacking the friend cougar.
Lancaster snarled and dodged out of the mess, not clearly realizing what was going on. He snarled and leapt at Nachi after seeing Haiku being taken by her. He aimed to bite anywhere he could.
Aaka
Aaka silently watched her eyes watching everything. Glaring at Aava she said in a soft voice "Cavan and you. Fighting for this pup. Now if you will excuse me. I have a sick wolf to attend to." simple as that the female got up and left. Passing by Ghost she said "Let me know if you need me. I got a date with Rocky Road...Unfinished business" Grinning evily she left.
