Shena

Shena had managed to catch a rabbit outside of the terra. Well actually no man land between the neighboring terra. She really didn't care if she got in trouble to be honest. She had to feed her pups, and this was how she was going to do it. Raising her head she let loose a howl, it called no one. That was how she taught her children to come to her, that way Saydin hopefully won't find out. Shena would rather die, than let Saydin come near her children.

Kodiak and Clarissa came to their mother. They had been hiding in the small den that their mother made them. They were about a month old now, so they could talk,run, and all that other stuff. Of course they weren't as good as adult wolves yet.

"Mom, Kodiak pushed me in that mud hole." Clarissa complained who was trying to clean some mud off her black pelt. Kodiak laughing went to help his sister clean her pelt. It showed that Plauge was her father, but she didn't know him. No, her mother had did her best to keep them a secret from everyone, but herself. It might not just stay that way though...

Razorblade

Razorblade moved quietly, the steel grey male carrying a small pup in his jaws. The little black pup was completely blind, and was growling as viciously as he could. Put me down! Put me down! Mama! He struggled in Razorblades jaws, but to no avail. His father was much to strong, and he much to young. Razorblade followed Shena's scent, being careful and quiet. He set Vagabond down with a soft plop and his eyes went straight to hers. I do believe this is yours. He said softly. The grey male watched her, with that keen intelligence, that silent warrior body never moving, never wavering. I'm going to be leaving, Shena. I won't be coming back. I can't stay here, Not with... Not with Saydin. Not with her new mate. She will kill me, just like she will kill you. He looked down to Vagabond. And do your best to hide him, for he is the weakest in the bunch. He'll be the first to go. His tone was flat, and quiet. Vagabond with his blindness, was not safe here.

Shena

Shena's hackles rose when she caught sight of Razorblade. She waited for his reaction to the pups, mostly the pup that wasn't his. However no came, he simply spoke of leaving and protecting Vagabond. Shena spoke fiercly back, scared now.

"You can't leave, Razorblade. Who's going to help me protect the pups from that bitch?"

Maybe she souldn't be asking, and she knew he shouldn't have to help. After all she kept his children from him, but surely he understood she thought it the best. She had only been trying to save her childrne. Besides she didn't want him and Plauge to fight about the pups. Not to mention over her, for she didn't even know which one she wanted. She liked them both, but she didn't know enough about them to love them, yet.

Clarissa, daughter of Plauge, went to her blind brother growling at the intruder. "Put my brother down right now! How dare you touch him, who are you?"Her voice was full of little anger as she stood by her brother glaring up at the male. Kodiak remained where he was watching silently. He looked around wondering where his other siblings were.

Razorblade

His eyes wandered over the three pups before him, then his eyes looked up to see Vayre, and his other son, Theft. The two pups looked at him warily, but they moved towards their mother and stood. Well, Vayre, the female, she stood while her brother laid down and watched Razorblade with his puppy blue eyes.

At the question, Razorblades eyes fell. I can take the largest pup, and save him from Saydin. The others... He stopped midspeech when he heard another approaching. Plauge didn't make himself known, but you could feel him in the air, hovering, waiting, watching. Plauge was loyal to Saydin, loyal to the bone for she had saved him from certain death. He had to stay with Saydin, for if he didn't... A bounty would be out for him. Razorblade continued talking, but his entire body was tense as his eyes traveled restlessly around, searching for Plauge. I can't stay here, Shena. I can't take you with me. If I do, you will be hunted just as much as I will once I walk away. My loyalties are no longer here, Shena. I can't stay in a home where I am nothing more then another soldier, another pawn in Saydin's chess game. I'm going to try and join the Shadow Lurkers, Shena. When they killed Sasha, I knew what my job was. I must protect Sasha's daughter, Dawn. Shes going to grow up and know nothing but hate for Saydin. I must make sure of it. Maybe she will be the one to destroy the bitch for what she is. So what would it be? Would Shena let her son, Vagabond, go to a new life with Razorblade? Could she trust him?

Shena

Shena's eyes went to her children that entered the scene, but than went back to Razorblade. The largest pup was the most vunerable, and she could understand why Razorblade wanted to take him. It broke her heart to say yes, but it was for the best. Her hackles rose as she sensed Plauge, but she said nothing about it. Moving forward she went to where Vagabond was her eyes watery, but tears didn't fall.

"You listen to your father hear, you understand? I'll come for you one day, I swear." She spoke into his ear softly. Than giving him a tender lick on the head she went back to her pups.

She gathered each one that had strayed except for Vagabond who was going with Razorblade. Than she gave Razorblade enough time to go before she spoke in a neutral tone giving no emotion away. She didn't know what Plauge was up to was why. "You might as well come out."

Kodiak stood at his mother's left side. Clarissa stood between her mother's front legs. Since Shena's legs were spread wide incase she needed to fight, their was room for two or three more pups.

Plauge

As Razorblade left with a limp Vagabond in his jaws, Plauge stalked from behind a tree. The black tattered male looked like a warrior of old, a creature that legends were made of. Hello Shena. His eyes drifted to the pups, and easily he found his own daughter before his eyes found hers again. Quite amazing that Saydin hasn't found them yet. What are you going to do, Shena, when she finds out? Shena couldn't hide the pups for long. Saydin had been doing patrols lately, going through her pack. She knew that Shena had been pregnant, had smelled it on her. Here soon, the black bitch was likely to come around and take a look at the pups. At least one of Shena's pups was safe... For now...

Shena

Shena looked up at Plague's approach. At his words a snarl was given to show her point as she spoke back in a heated tone. "Saydin can try all she wants, she won't touch a hair on my children. Just because I'm a prisoner here, dosen't mean I don't have friends and family to help me. The thing is, could I really even count you as a friend? Would you go against your own daughter?" She spoke looking to Clarissa at the last question.

The little pup was shocked to find out that the male infront of her was her father. She stared at him, her eyes the same shade as his.

Plauge

Plauges eyes dropped down to Clarissa for a moment before raising back up to Shena's. When he spoke, his voice was emotionless, well. nearly. Pain laced every word, and he said these words with a heavy heart. I have to put Saydin ahead of you and my own children. If I turn against her... It will be my death, yoru death, and the death of all your pups. his eyes were locked on hers, trying to make her understand. He couldn't do this, not to her. Not to them. Saydin. Always, his loyalty was for Saydin.

Shena

Shena remained glaring at him. Her peachy orbs seemed to be on fire. He would turn on his own children for Saydin. It was pathetic, and it sickened her. "Go. Go away, right now. Seeing you sickens me now, Plauge. Stay away from me, and stay away from my children, ALL of them. You have no right towards them, not even Clarissa. You'd turn on them if you got the chance." To make her words clear, her fangs were bared in warning. She wouldn't hesitate to attack, for she had grown up and seen Plauge's ways. He was a traitor to her, and always would be. She couldn't trust anyone, but Razorblade and her true family and friends.

Saydin

She moved on silent pads, just as she trained the rest of her warriors to do. She watched as Plauge left, the bastard that he was. So he was loyal to her, eh? Well good. She didn't know exactly how much longer Shena would be around, but something else unnerved her. Framed and Razorblade were no where to be found. Her hackles raised, Saydin slid from the darkness of the brush, a menacing shadow. She was a little wolf, one that many would overlook if it was not for the power she seemed to possess. Her hackles raised slightly, she looked over the pups with near disgust on her face. Her pups were better, stronger. Unafraid of anything and everything. However... Her eyes followed Clarissa, bright yellow orbs glowing the falling dusk. Hello Shena. She spoke to the female, but other then that hardly acknowledged her prescence. No, no. Her eyes were on Clarissa. Such a cute little darling, and what a demon she was to... Yes, yes indeed she wanted, and what Saydin wanted she would have.

Clarissa

Clarissa seeing the small adult come forth shown interest on her face. She heard her mother speak the fea's name, and she knew from that, that this was the alphess. She moved from the security of her mother's legs to go toward the other wolf, but a paw on her tail stopped her. She struggled viciously, even turning around to glare at her mother, before sitting down. Although a vicious growl, for a puppy, rumbled from her. Turning back to Saydin, a little smile on her angelic face, she spoke in a sweet tone. "Hi Mrs. Saydin." Play little Clarissa, play.

Shena glared at the familar body of Saydin's. "Saydin." She spoke in neutral tone to the fea who kept her prisoner. Seeing her daughter go to the bitch, she put her paw on her tail.

Saydin

Saydins eyes lifted to Shena. Prisoner. She murmured softly, before her eyes dropped back to Clarissa. She wanted, and she was going to get what she wanted. She let loose a howl, calling for Valian. He'd keep pretty little Shena occupied while she got the puppy. She wanted, she wanted. Saydin was much like a spoiled brat, for she always got what she wanted. Hello, dearest. She said in a quiet purr. Scary little Saydin, how she could go from cutthroat bitch, to sweet gentle lover in the blink of an eye. Her head tilted to the side, and she gazed at Shena. You should let her play with my pups, I know they love the companionship. Her eyes were alight with that insane gleam, and her hackles kept bristling a bit as she shifted her weight, from paw to paw. Her eyes kept going from Shena, back down to Clarissa. What was it abotu her that Saydin just couldn't live without?

Clarissa

Clarissa grinning looked to her mom. "Please can we play with the other pups?" She said going along with this. Once she was released she came closer to the sweet looking Saydin her eyes alight as nearly began to bounce around in her excitement.

Kodiak followed more slowly by his mother. Shena nudged her other children along, her eyes watching Saydin the whole time. She didn't know what was going on in the bitch's mind, but she wished she did. Her paw let go of her daughter's tail, but she wasn't far behind. "They can play with your pups, but than my children will return with me to my den." She spoke emphising the my part in my children. She wasn't going to have any funny buisness.

Tsunami

Saydin gave an evil grin and then turned. Tsunami. Element. Come here. The two black pups moved forward, one a tiny little thing, the female Element, and her larger brother. Hatred and rage seeme to roll off of Tsunami in waves, and there was a keen intelligence about him. He was going to be one to watch when he got older. Element, however, was just the opposite. She seemed to radiate calmness and peace, a gentle female all around. She smiled a little bit at kodiak and moved towards him. Let Clarissa and Tsunami play....

Clarissa

Clarissa giggled a femine sound as she came closer to Tsunami. A smile was given, before her rump went in the air ready to dodge or chase. The smile had been a invite to try to make her submit to him. Clarissa wasn't one to be pushed around by her siblings, and she was their little alphess.

Kodiak gave Element a sheepish smile as if to say hello. "I'm Kodiak."

Shena watched over her pups eyes even went over Saydin's children before going back to her own.
