Elena

She watched silently as the water of the river began to freeze over. She smiled faintly and let out a long howl calling her mate Zev. She hadnt seen him in awhile.

Zev

White male had been sunning himself when he heard the familiar tune of his mate sing out. Leaping up with a yip in return, he set off to find her. Coming upon her at the creek's bank, he lay a gentle kiss on her cheek. Hello my love, are you well?

Elena

She smiled at her mate and licked back "I am perfectly fine and you?" She looked around when she heard the sound of running coming towards the two.

Betrayed skidded to a halt and let out a yip to both his parents. "MAma! Papa! Soleda and Aba....Aba....Well Moon Spirits son are gone!" He smiled and sat down thinking himself of doing a good deed by telling his parents.

Elena glanced at Zev and said "What should we do?"

Zev*Kianga

Brute had been about to reply to his mate when Betrayed came running up, Kianga on his heels. Hearing this news, his brow furrowed in deep thought. He was not one to react, but more prone to thinking. Speaking absent-mindedly, he said to Betrayed, You have done well to bring us this news, my son. Thank you.

He was silent for a few moments, thinking, before he spoke again.Betrayed, Kianga. As this concerns Abamacho, go find his parents and tell them what has occured. They are probably worried about him if they have noticed that he is gone. When you have told them, ask one of them to come to me. We shall proceed from there.

Kianga nodded and turned around, about to head out. Starting to trot away, she turned back to make sure Betrayed was following.

Watching them go, Zev turned and nuzzled his mate. They'll be fine. You'll see.

Azul

oddly painted timber move into the central lands his duo hued gems clouded with worry and with some parental anger at his childern's dissapearance. What were they thinking? Didn't matter now instead he moved forth were Kianga said her paw was waiting seeing the brute the Alpha male halted his vocals deep and tinged with worry spoke.

[I heard the news. Do you have any clue where they could have went?]

Zev*Kianga

Zev bowed a little as the alpha male arrived, though he was much too distracted for such niceties. Harks perking at the question, he attempted a calm answer, though his voice trembled a little both in anger and fear. I do not know. I only know that my daughter will run as far and as fast as she may, and cover any tracks that she can. And from what Kianga tells me, your son is very much the same. And he paused, eyes wide, for he realized how disrespectfully that statement could be taken. Begging your pardon... he took a low bow. I meant no offense.

Kianga bounded in behind the alpha male, face turning from Azul to Zev as they discussed things. She was worried about her sister, and wanted to help in any way she could. It never crossed her mind that she was a pup and would never be allowed to go on such a search as the one being planned.

Azul

[I understand you are right about my son he is very much that way. Your daughter and him though, do they seem to like each other? They might be hidding together somewhere.]

Azul did not take what the brute said to no offense at all Instead he was more worried that angered. Seeing Kianga bound up he smiled at her to show her there was nothing to worry about they would find them.

[might be best to search places they have been before.]

Zev*Kianga

Zev turned and pounded after the alpha, his fury and worry setting fire to his heels.

Kianga whined at the realization that she was being left behind, but smiled again when Azul beamed upon her. Settling herself down, she awaited their return.

Kekochoi

Small black pup bounced into the main territory. She had always been good compared to her brother. She leaped on Kianga. "Hi im Kekochoi whats your name?"

Kianga

Kianga was watching them go when she was tackled from one side. Flopping over, she giggled and aimed a lick at Kekechoi's nose. I'm Kianga! She was a sunny little one, much more friendly than Soleda. She beamed up at Kekechoi, reaching up to tug on an ear.

Kekochoi

Kekochoi yipped in pleasure at finally having a friend. Her brother Abamacho was always angery and snappy while Keko was always bright and happy. She nibbled on Kiangas leg then stood up when she saw her brother his fur bristling looking ready to attack.

Abamacho stared at the two for a minute then stalked over snapping at his sister drawing blood with his sharp puppy teeth "Live up to your namesake Kekochoi. Why cant you do anything right?" He could tell his words had struck home for his little sisters duo colored eyes changed and she said sadly "Im sorry Aba...." Before she could say anything else he snapped out at her again catching her muzzle "DONT YOU DARE SHORTEN MY NAME!" Kekochoi whimpered and backed up so that her body was close to Kiangas. She wasnt usually submissive but her brother was scary to her. She didnt know why but he was.

Kianga

Kianga stood solidly by Kekochoi, holding her head high. The violent Abamacho scared her, it was true, but she saw no point in letting him know that. She stood quietly and strongly next to Keko and waited for the tirade to end.

Soleda

Soleda came dashing in ahead of her parents, coming up beside Abamacho and growling also at Kekochoi. She put in her own snap for good measure, standing tall and letting a furious growl erupt from her vocals. Learn your place, wench, and stay out of the way.

Keko

Suddenly fury swamped the little female. She leaped at Soleda snapping at her viciously "Dont you Dare tell me what to do." Her fangs flashed and twin needles tried to grab onto Soledas shoulder. She was using her small body to an advantage keeping herself low and using quick precise movements. She snarled at Soleda and snapped again then turned furious eyes to Abamacho "Wait til mama shows up. She wont be as nice as papa." She then turned to Soleda "Miss Elena wont be happy with you either. I know she was there with you guys cause she left us here. I cant wait to see her."

Soleda*Kianga

Soleda winced a little as her shoulder was torn open, but it was a shallow cut and only bled a little. Still, she turned orbs to the little Keko, furious. You DARE draw blood from me? She flashed forward to slash at the dark pup's maw, not bothering to see if her attack landed before leaping back. Watch whom you threaten, little thing. You might get hurt someday with that temper. And as for Mama, she can't tell me what to do anymore than you can.

Kianga watched in horror as Keko and Soleda traded words. Having had enough, she gave a cry and leapt for her sister, tackling the slightly smaller Soleda to the ground. Setting teeth to her sister as she had never set teeth to anything in her life, Kianga grasped hold of Soleda's maw and tore about with it, leaving a long, bleeding gash across her sister's mug and right eye.

Soleda let out a yelp of pain and grabbed hold of her sister's right forepaw, using it to wrench Kianga to the ground. Leaping to her feet and ignoring the fact that she couldn't see out of her right eye, Soleda jammed her jaws together with all her might, feeling satisfaction as she felt the bone smash into a powder beneath the pressure.

It was Kianga's turn to let out a yelp, and she rolled to her feet, tearing her paw out of Soleda's grasp and balancing on her three good legs. If someone didn't interfere soon, this was going to turn into an ugly fight.

Kekochoi*Abamacho

Kekochoi saw her friend leap and let out a startled gasp. When Kianga came back on only three legs fire danced into the little females eyes and her heated gaze looked just like her aunts. She growled low and stalked closer and closer before leaping at her with all the strength her small body had. Her fangs flashed and she used Aakas tactic of going for the shoulder and ripping it open as much as possible in as little time as she could manage.

Abamacho stared at the fight with dark excitement. He backed up a bit and lay down watching them fight and bicker over nothing important but for him it was excellent. He could see that Kekochoi had their aunts finesse but Soleda had the advantage of size and weight. He knew Kekochoi hadnt gone to his aunt for any fighting tips and Aaka was small and slight and knew every advantage and held them like a sword. He would be the one to stop the fight....Soon enough.

Soleda*Kianga

Soleda hissed as Keko put up an unexpected attack. Wrenching her shoulder away before the smaller pup could do any serious damage, she threw her weight on top of Kekochoi, hoping to throw her off balance enough to give her a position to attack. Following up, regardless of whether the other actually stumbled, Soleda closed her bad eye and swept around to grasp at the back of Kekochoi's throat. She was heavier, it was true, but still fast. Letting go of her hold, if she had got it, she flashed forward again for Kekochoi's face, aiming to grasp her mug.

Kianga watched, horrified, as her sister harried Keko. The little dark pup was her friend, and she was shocked and dismayed to see her sister, whom she thought she knew, attacking someone who had done no wrong. Leaping from a standstill, she aimed for Soleda's back feet, but fell in a graceless, whimpering heap as her forepaw gave out when it hit the ground. Whining at her inability to help, she watched, her eyes big and scared.

Azul

the timber moved forth some paces beind the duo and the sight that welcomed him brought rage as he sprang forward before any other pup could get harmed. He glared at his son for not stopping the fight jaws opened to grab the bakc of Soleda's neck he wasn't her parental but acting this way here in his and his love's lands would bring a scolding from him. AS he hopefully grasped her he lifted her up his height higher than hers till her hind stalks barely touched the loam. He didn't toss her but instead walked a few paces away and sat her down beside his son though far enough away that they couldn't fight. He stood between them and the other pups his voids dancing in anger.

[son, me and your mother will have a talk you most likely will be living wih your uncle soon. AS for you Soleda your parents are welcome in these lands but you are drawing a tight line with this violence.]

Glancing over his shoulder he looked back to the pups he had parted from Soleda

[you if you are hurt stay were you are the rest go to the dens Soleda, my son, Moon Spirit, and Soleda's parents will be talking and you need not to worry or hear these things]

Kekochoi

She looked uncertain the said softly "Papa can I stay with Kianga?" She didnt want to hear her fathers angry words and she wanted to stay with her injured friend. She felt blood coming out of a few wounds but she didnt really mind. She would deal with them as soon as her brother and his new girl friend were gone.

He stared at his father and stood "What the hell did I do? Its not my fault that these whenchs cant control there tempers." His words were cold yet heated a tone that even Aaka wouldnt be able to manage. He trembled with fury and stalked away growling faintly as he headed towards the Den Site.

Soleda*Kianga

Soleda let out a yelp as she was caught up by the alpha male, but quickly stifled it. She wriggled in his grasp though held still when he put her down. Her face though, held a look of defiance. Whatever Azul thought he was going to do, it wouldn't bother her.

Kianga hopped to her three good legs and tottered over to Keko. She let out a low whine of reassurance, saying, It's ok, Keko... I can make it as far as the den. And I don't think you wanna see what's coming... Mama... has a temper. Coming? And she began to hobble toward the den, a little unsturdy, but she could make it.

Azul

Azul stood over the duo his crown low in a threatening stance as if daring them to breathe. Finally sittin on his haunches he cast back his head and called for his mate and Soleda's parentals.

Soleda*Zev

Soleda sat right where she was, her gaze defiant in its turn. She knew better than to look the alpha in the eye with such a glance, but kept the look on her face anyway. As she saw it, she and Abamacho had done nothing wrong.

Zev arrived on peds made quick by fury. Coming up beside Azul, he made a quick bow and rose, glaring at his daughter. Whatever the alpha decided, Soleda was in for a world of trouble with her father.

Elena*Moon Spirit*Abamacho

Elena stared at her daughter yellow eyes staring darkly at her. Her expression was perfectly blank ready to kill anyone or anything. Her daughter wasnt out of killing range and this new dark side of Elena was surprising but she had known it was there. Always there. Luring seeking wishing for a way out. Looks like it got its wish

Moon Spirit stalked closer and closer standing behind Abamacho blood staining her muzzle. She had killed a deer at the praire and brought some back to the caches. Bright yellow eyes watched her mate darkness showing itself for the first time in a long while. She looked just like Aaka except for the cresent moon on her forehead.

Abamacho went and sat next to Soleda his eyes watching the adults copying Elenas mask with his own. He was perfecting it down to the core.

Azul

anger clouded voids landed upon his mate a sliver of a smile sent her way as his gaze never left the young duo. Looking to his mate he spoke quickly.

[I say we send him to live with his uncle. He might learn a lesson. As for this one its up to her parentals for her.]

Zev*Soleda

Zev nodded his assent. Whatever Azul did with his own son was for the alpha to decide, and Zev would whole-heartedly agree. For his daughter, however, he would stand judgement. And YOU, Soleda, shall remain here with me to answer to the wrath of myself and your mother. I leave you in her paws as it is she that you have defied.

Soleda continued to glare at everyone, keeping herself firmly planted next to Abamacho. She held no fear of either of her parents, and so stood firm and resilient. At the alpha's words, she spoke up loudly, all offended, righteous anger. How dare you! All of you! Saying who I may play with and what I may do with them, trying to run my life for me! I am not your toy to be done with as you choose. I will go where I choose with whomever I choose and do what I choose to do. I am almost of age and it is time I started having a say. I WILL see Abamacho if I so desire, and follow him to his uncle White Noise if I so desire. You cannot stop me! Her eyes flashed with a deep evil fire, and an edge of something wild. Not wild in the way of wolves, but wild like fire:uncontrollable, dangerous. A deep growl set in her throat as she threw eyes upon her parents, turning her scowling face to her father.
Y maenth no sghet melan!

Zev's face turned quite pale. Where his daugther had learned his native tongue, he could not guess. Taking a reflexive step back, he haltingly answered in kind, head bowed in something close to defeat. Mishin maenth sghet lreean punat.

Moon Spirit*Abamacho

The black and silver hued male stared at his parents than said in a dark voice I will not be going to live with Uncle White Noise. You will not make me for I like Soleda am of age. I also am going to go somewhere where I am wanted. Aunt Aaka is much better then Uncle Noise her and Legosa are some of the best fighters around. Maybe they will teach me some real skills. Lets see how long you and mama last then dad. You both grow old and feeble and will never- His words were cut short as his mothers jaws snapped harshly against his flanks. Blood fell to the ground from the shallow wound and his mothers eyes flashed.

You will Never talk about me and your father like that aagain. Do you understand me? Moon Spirit was anything but weak although she wasnt in her old fighting condition she wasnt as she had been. Sonomoa teeshaka qui! Shame on you Not the words she had used but it was the closest she could get to not killing her own son. She wouldnt become like Aaka.

Abamacho snarled and looked over at Soleda. To the Silver Glades Soleda. I will talk to my aunt.

Zev*Soleda

Soleda turned those striking eyes upon her father again, her voice becoming low and hypnotic as she began to recite:

Sechan grepsa
Sechan tran
Sechan colos
Sechan mir...

Zev backed up a step, hardly believing his horrified ears. He closed his eyes, trying to shut out the words that echoed in his mind: Y maenth no sghet melan! And the last? Oh the last was the worst of all... the final cant of the Order of Blood...

Blood oath
Blood challenge
Blood bought
Blood bath....

Soleda watched her father's hurt and fear spread quickly across his face. She let a proud smirk grace her mug, and turned to Abamacho, nodding her understanding, and her eyes sent back a message. That will keep him for awhile. To the Silver Glades, then. Your Aunt Aaka sounds like the very wolven I would love to meet.
