Fresca & Kasna

She alpha-dog sprints in but quickly slows down. Now she focused all of her senses, hoping to find some prey that would be enough to feed her pack.

Kasna did the same. But neither were use to hunting much because they had lived off scavenging food in the human's town.

Aminita

The pup sprints in after her alpha and Kasna. Although she was growing larger, she was still a rather small hybrid. Her energy and speed well made up for that. "What are we hunting? This will be so fun!" she yipped out.

Ebony Sky

She entered. She hadent hunted much either but she knew how to.

*Scents*

The wind brought scent of mule deer. If the scent was followed, it would lead to four of this deer resting in a thicket of aspen trees.

Another scent was of a lone elk who was resting in the timberline of a small meadow.

Turret

Turret, walking behind the pack, easily picks up the scents. "Mule deer would be easier to bring down. Elk would be more dangerous, but provide more food." He pointed out, but left the desicion to Fresca.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca sifted through the scents, trying to make up her mind. "The mule deer will be are first target. They won't be so dangerous to hunt when we have Aminita still only a pup. If we can't catch them, we shall try to elk." The alpha hung her muzzle to the ground where she could better pick up scents. She headed off to find the mule deer.

Kasna walked directly behind her, nose to the ground as well.

Aminita

Aminita dashed after them. She had her nose to the ground now and then, but was too interested in other things to keep herself focused on the deers' scent. "Oh, look!" she announced excitedly, "Just look at those colors!" the pup said, watching a swallowtail butterfly. "That's a big one! We never saw these things in the alleys!"

.Echo.

.x.Minx entered the unfamilar lands cautiously. Plume lowered to submit to whomever approached. All though she wasn't one to submit with ease, she knew nothing about these lands except that her mother once lived here. Spotting the others she slowly engraced before them. Cranium was lowered slightly to what seemed to be the alpha vixen. 'ello. My name is Echo..daughter of Dream. Vocals poison the atmoshphere with each breathe. Hopefully they wouldn't mind her presence and maybe just maybe let her help with the hunt for she was starving.x.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca had bristled her fur and arched her tail and head high at first, being very cautious at first with her new home. She had suspected at the first that Echo might be a member of this pack they had just displaced from the territory, but that soon proved to be untrue. Her posture relaxed after Echo introduced herself, and took on more of a friendly one. "Daughter of Dream? Well, I never knew she had any young! Dream is... or, was a part of our pack. We last saw her at Orca Bay, and don't know what has happened to her since."

Kasna looked to Echo, "My name is Kasna. That's Aminita, Turret, and Ebony Sky; all friends of Dream." he said, pointing out the members.

"And I'm Fresca, alpha of the pack. We were just on the trail of prey; might you join us? Then you can tell us more of yourself, perhaps."

Aminita

The pup from the Shadow Lurkers pack looked merrily up at Echo, "Hello! I'm Aminita." she piped up with enthusiasm, giving up her chase she had begun on the butterfly.

.Echo.

.Russet opticals watch Fresca before turning a glance 'pon Kasna. My mother is dead. Her voice stung and felt as if a dagger was being pushed inside her own heart. Though she barely knew Dream for they were seperated years ago she still felt sorrow for her. I would love to help you with your hunt.

Ebony Sky

She listens and when she hears that Dream is dead her heart sinks. "But... How did Dream die! We just saw her not to long ago at Orca Bay!" She says in a sullen voice.

.Echo.

.she looked at the new vixen. I..i dont know. Her voice shooken up from her question.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca's ears drooped a bit, "That news lies heavy on our hearts. She had a shaky start with us... but she was loyal in the end. If ever her killer is discovered, she will be avenged. That is if her killer is killable." Fresca added in; for all she knew, Dream might have been killed by illness or some accident. "Well, a hunt will do good to hold our minds to other thoughts for now." She announced then and continued down the trail towards the mule deer.

Kasna followed after again, nose to the ground. He was quite startled to hear the news, and his lowered eyes hinted at his sorrow.

*Mule Deer*

After a short travel, the deer were found. But their large ears had picked up on some noise from the pack, and they all stood an alert. The bucks' antlers were just growing back now; they were still small and covered in velvet. They all looked around intently with their nostrils flared in alarm; the slightest thing could set them off in a panic.

Turret

Turret glanced from Echo to his alpha. He paused after they reached the spot where the mule deer were and waited for instructions. He knew they were already on alert, so it would be a difficult task to catch any of them now.

Aminita

The pup looked out eagerly at the deer, peering at them from the thick coverage of foliage. Her tail waved very slowly from side to side and her muscels tenses. All at once, her wild, puppish manners had vanished. She was deadly intent.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca halts when she sees the deer and flicks an ear back to signal the others to stop as well. She turned back and spoke in a whisper to the others, "One of us shall try to circle around the opposite side of the herd where they can smell you, then burst through and drive them towards the rest of us. And the rest of us shall be fanned out to catch one, if we can."

Kasna nodded, "Sounds good."

.Echo.

She listened to Fresca's words and nodded. I would favor to do that. Her whispered words meaning to sneak around and herd the deer over here.

Fresca & Kasna

"Good; but be careful not to betray your presence until you are directly behind them." Fresca replied in a light whisper as well before turning to the rest of the pack. "Turret, take the right side of our line here; I'll take the far left. Ebony and Kasna can take more of the middle while Aminita..." Fresca trailed off a minute, wondering what position she could put the pup in. "...You can stay by who ever you choose, except Echo." Fresca feared that the pup would startle the deer too soon.

Kasna trotted a few yards away from Fresca and turned his attention toward the deer and waited. Fresca went further to his left.

Aminita

Aminita's tail waved a bit with excitement, showing her collie side. She instantly bounced over toward Ebony, ready to follow her to the center of the line. Because everyone else was whispering, Aminita didn't speak out loud either, but her whispered voice was tinged with eagerness, "I've never been hunting before! This is going to be so cool!" She had indeed gone to hunt before, but had broken away from her pack before even coming in contact with the prey.

Turret

Turret gave a signle nod to acknowledge his alpha's plan. He sprinted silently several yards from the others, towards the right. With his long legs, he could more easily race out to try and catch a deer that might try to go around the line.

.Echo.

.Minx nodded and carefully padded around the deer. Her frame kept low to the sod as the foilage covered her. Orbs keep a weary eye to the deer watching there reactions. Slowly she crept behind them. Glance was given to Fresca. Well she was on her own now. She seemed close enough to drive the deer forward. Deep and throaty growl erupted the eerie silence as she threatened the mule deer. Frame was raised to pose more of a danger. Ivories bared as she snapped at there pistions yet careful not to get too close.

*Muke Deer*

One of the smaller bucks stamped his hoof to the ground and they all turned their heads towards the noise of the stalking she wolf. There was only the slightest delay of reaction before Echo showed clearly that she was threatening them. When she stood up, the four deep wheeled away and began to run with their tails flick upward in alarm. The two does were in the lead and the largest buck was in the back. The smaller buck was just to the right of the others as they all headed for the ambush line.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca waited until the mule deer were very close. Then, she sprung up and tried to take the nearest doe by the snout.

Kasna went for the same deer, and aimed his teeth for her hind legs. He was careful of the hooves though.

Turret

Turret lunged at the buck that came at him. But at the last moment, he sprung away. Snarling and snapping, he tried to drive the deer towards the others before he turned and raced off out of the Game Trails.

.Echo.

.Huntress sauntered after the fleeing deer yet not getting ahead of them. Pearls snap at the haunches of the smaller buck yet weary of there hooves.

Aminita

The pup chased after the second doe that came to them. She sprung up and tried to sink her fangs into its side.

*Mule Deer*

The doe that Aminita went for was too fast for the youngester. She sprung from the pup's attack and made a dash to get away from the pack.

The other doe's snout was caught by Fresca. She was caught completely off guard because she had been so intent to get away from Echo. Kasna's fangs tore at the hind legs. The doe kicked out at him, but couldn't pull her slender snout away from Fresca.

The young buck gave a distress cry and lashed his hooves out at Echo who managed to score a large wound on his haunch.

The other buck got away.

.Echo.

She once again made a jump for the monster this time at his viper. Jaws wide..ivories beg to cling into the fleshy neck.

Ebony Sky

Ebony sees the doe dash from Aminita and she had been upwind waiting for the perfect chance so she springs out and darts for the doe and lunges her ivories bared. She tried to bite down on its throat and pull it to the ground or kill it.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca held firmly to the snout and thrashed her head back and forth trying to throw the doe to the ground.

Kasna lunged at her side, slashing with his fangs where ever he could.

*Mule Deer*

Echo's buck plunged forward when she bit his neck, and her fangs sunk only into muscle. With a terrifide bleat, the deer plundged desperately forward again, trying to loosen her grip on his neck. He was very healthy and in the prime of age.

Ebony's doe had made a long leap at a rather high speed when she was struck by the wolf. Because of this, she crashed to the ground and narrowly missed crushing Ebony beneath her. Such a crash wrentched away Ebony's hold, but left a gaping wound in the deer's neck. The doe kicked out with her slender but deadly-hooved legs as she scrambled for footing.

The other doe was also quite healthy, like the rest of the herd. She wouldn't be so easily brought down. Still, with Fresca at her snout, she couldn't kick at the dog. But as the alpha thrashed her head, the doe stumbled once and nearly fell. She succeeded in knocking Kasna down. If he didn't get up right away, he would be stepped on by the hind hooves.

The other buck had run a good distance away before halting and turning his head back. He gave a loud warning snort, then stomped his hooves into the ground.

.Echo.

Loathe filled her as the buck continued to fight. Ivories try to rip deeper. Crown shooken to rip open the jugular. If it did then he would die soon if not then she should go help Fresca and Kasna with there doe.

Aminita

Aminita dashed over to where Ebony had pulled the deer down. She was running straight for the soft stomach to bite it. Aminita still had alot to learn about hunting, and didn't know how dangerous the hooves were.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca clung to the snout, snarling and thrashing her head still. She refused to let go.

Kasna scrambled quickly out of the way, ears back but fangs bared distainfully. Once he had picked himself up, he again lunged for the doe, bitting at her hind legs again. He knew if he torn enough muscels and tendons there the doe would be slowed down alot; a very un-wolf like attack.

*Mule Deer*

Echo's buck plunged forward for a third time and fell to his knees as a result of it, because Echo was still at his throat. The jarring fall forced her fangs towards the jugular, and her biting did the rest. One of his life viens had been severed. With a terrified cry, the buck tried to rise again, but the blood was pouring from his wound and over the she wolf's muzzle. He would be dead soon.

Fresca and Kasna's doe continued its fierce struggle. She kicked out her hind legs and Kasna just to the side of his broad chest and near his shoulder. The blow was enough to send him to the ground and bruise his muscles there. It would make it hard for him to travel for at least a few days. The doe sprang back, trying to pull away from Fresca next. But her haunch brushed against a locust tree and several dozen thorn tips punctured her skin. Feeling that she had been bitten by several wolves from behind, the doe lunged forward and broke free from the dog's grip after knocking her over. Fresca would be lucky not to be stepped on as the deer runs over her, trying to get away.

Ebony's doe kicked out randomly and soon pulls herself up. If Aminita still tried to go for her, she would recieve a nasty kick to her jaw. The doe manages to get up and begins to race away.

The other buck sprints forward several yards, then turns once more and stamps.

.Echo.

Deviless let her crimson tinted choppers dig forecefully into the buck's larynx. Moist muscle inside her jaw savored the taste of the mahogany life source. Once the buck was down Echo released her death defined grip to look down at her suffering prize. Crown tilted up as maw split in a howl as if telling the others of her victory. Minx didn't bother trying to chase after the doe for it seemed to be gone.

Turret

The large mongrel returned to the game trails and followed the scent of his pack until he came to where they were hunting. He saw that one wolfess, Echo, had succeeded in killing a buck. The other four pack members had failed so far to catch anything, but that must be expected. Turret waited for Amaroq while he howled a short note to get his pack's attention.

Aminita

The pup sprung back just as the flying hoof came at her. It grazed her chin, causing her to yelp and pull her ears back. She watched as the doe got up and began to dash away. Thinking twice about chasing it now, Aminita turned and sprinted over to Turret.

Fresca & Kasna

Kasna yelped as he hit the ground and swiftly pulled himself up. He held his injured front leg a bit, favoring it now.

Fresca sprung out of the way and dashed after the doe. But she soon stopped and turned back to the others, seeing that Kasna was hurt and Echo had already caught a deer. "Good job, Echo." she panted out, then heard Turret's howl. The alpha sprinted over to Turret, "What is it?"

*Mule Deer*

Ebony's and Fresca's does bounded away through the woods before anyone could catch up with them. After joining the other male, the three turned and sprinted further away, out of sight and sound.

Amaroq

Hunter entered into the game trails, following close behind the other, a few paces behind him perhaps. Stopping by his side, he stood proudly, his head held high, but not too high, and his ears held in a curious position. He sniffed the air, trying to learn about his new pack. Watching silently as the pup and female came over. He spoke not a waord, waiting for Turret to explain his situation.

Turret

Turret dipped his head down at Fresca's approach, hinting to Amaroq that she was the alpha. "I heard him howling while we were at the hunt; he wishes to join our pack." Turret explained quickly to Fresca, hoping she didn't mind that he had let Amaroq cross the boarders without her permission.

Fresca & Kasna

The dog gave Amaroq a thoughtful look, then nodded. "You are welcome to join our pack. What is your name? I'm Fresca, the alpha of this land."

Kasna came limping over and sood just behind his alpha. "I'm Kasna." The malamute stated, and waited to hear the new comer's name.

Aminita

The pup waved her tail excitedly, "Hi, I'm Aminita!" she yipped out. She had a very outgoing and excitable personality, which often got her into trouble. She looked like a wolf, but some particular tan and black markings looked just the same as a german shepherd's.

Amaroq

Hunter stood proudly, smiling as the alpha spoke. Fresca, a beautiful name. NOdding in greeting, he ansered her question. I am Amaroq, pleasure to meet you Fresca, Animita, Kasna

.Echo.

.Deviless retreated her prize to step forward to the alpha and new comer. Fresca I haven't yet asked you but might I join your pack? Her crown lowered in repsect to Fresca. Maw soaken with gore from the buck she managed to slaughter.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca turned to Echo, "You are a great help to our pack, and the daughter of one of our closest friends. It would be a shame not to have in you the pack." she explained, accepted Echo. Directing her gaze to everyone else then, Fresca spoke up once again, "Thanks to Echo, we have enough food to feed the entire pack." With a flick of her lanky tail, she urged her pack to follow her back to the mule deer that Echo had slain. And then she did something she rarely did before; she established just who was coming up to eat first. She glanced at Amaroq, Echo, and Ebony, urging them forward to eat with her. The others would wait.

Kasna was a bit taken aback by Fresca's decision, but he didn't complain. He sat back on his haunches a few yards from the deer and waited his turn.

Turret

Turret was about to step forward and eat, but saw that he wasn't welcome just yet. He was the largest, and most likely strongest in the pack, but he was loyal to his alpha and wouldn't disobey her orders. He laid down as well to wait his turn.

.Echo.

Mongruel nodded. Thank you Fresca. Seeing that she was too eat with Fresca and the others she followed. Why me? Out of this pack why did you choose me? Why not Kasna or Turret. Oh enough with questioning thoughts Echo. Minx shook away her mind of dreams before stopping at her carcass. Well more like the "packs" carcass. Banshee looked towards Fresca in question. Could they eat now for she twas starved.

Amaroq

Hunter stayed in the sidelines as the other wolfess spoke, and was officially accepted. Puzzled, yet pleased when the alpha asked him to eat with her, he stepped towards the carcass, but waited respectfully for the alpha to begin first.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca saw the questioning looks from them, but didn't say anything yet. Waving her tail faintly, she began to eat.

Kasna watched mildly.

Amaroq

Hunter watched silently, seeing the slightly surpirsed expessions of the pack members. Assuming that Fresca didn't often pull rank on issues such as eating, he wondered why she was now. Not moving froward towards the food, seeing as how fresca had not yet given the word, he sat quietly, watching her feast hungrily on the deer.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca ate a bit more, then looked to the three she had invited forward, "You may eat." she said lightly, then continued with her meal. After a moment though, she lifted her muzzle and scented the wind. There was a stranger at the No Wolf Zone, and it carried a slight similarity with Turret. "There is someone at our norther boarders. Why don't you check it out, Turret." she suggested to him then continued eatting.

Kasna looked over at Turret, "I'll come if you want."

Turret

He tested the wind and soon enough picked up on the same scent his alpha had. His fur bristled slightly. "I will go; alone." he said, turning to Kasna. "It's my half-brother, you see. But... keep your ears alert." he said before heading for the No Wolf Zone.

Amaroq

Hunter nodded when he receaved permission to eat. Moving up beside Fresca, he lowered his head and tore into the meal, not wasting any, but not eating like a pig either. not waiting to see if the others approached, he looked up only when his alpha spoke, before returning to his meal.

Ebony Sky

She smiled and padded forth. She looked to Amoraq realizing she forgot to give an introduction. "Im Ebony Sky." she said then lowered her dial to eat. She ate her fill quickly and backed off licking her maw. She had wondered why Kansa, Turret, and Aminita were chosen to eat last. Kansa had been beta long befor Ebony had ever met Fresca and Kansa in the alleys, Turret was a long time freind and allie of the pack, and Aminita had recently joined but had to put down the Shadow Lurkers pack for their own and was only a pup. Ebony knew Fresca would probably explain later though. She heared Turret speak and had a very funny feeling that he wasnt going to see his brother for a happy visit.

.Echo.

Minx dug her pearls into the meaty haunches of the buck. Dial thrashed pulling off chunks of flesh before swallowing it down. Ebon fur was sprinkled with crimson gore especially pon her mug. Moist muscle ran over her blood stained ivories. Eating her own fill..yet saving enough for the others minx looked up. Hmm more trouble?

Aminita

The pup gave a hefty sigh, loudly expressing her boredom. She was a bit resentful at being denigned the chance to eat first, but her attention was quick to fade away from hunger. Pretending not to be paying any attention to the four eatting, she strolled casually behind them. Then she up and bit Amaroq's tail and snarled playfully, clinging to it.

Amaroq

HUnter stood unaware as the pup came closer, concentrating solely on his food. Feeling her teeth on his tail, he growled and whipped around, showing his teeth, telling hte pup that it was not the time for games. relaxing his snarl, he smiled lightly at her, and the returned to his eating.

Aminita

Aminita pinned her ears back and cringed to the ground, expressing her submission to Amaroq. She flashed a quick smile as an apology to him before turning her eyes to the other three wolves eating. She had to learn her manners in the pack. Giving another loud sigh, Aminita backed away and sat down with her ears perked up again. The pup pawed dully at a stick on the ground, then took it between her jaws and began to chew on it.

.Echo.

Mistress sauntered away from the kill before sitting 'pon her hackles watching the others. Moist muscle licked away the gore which stained her ivories before emmiting a yawn.

Aminita

Aminita was lying on the ground with her head on her paws, waiting. After a while she relized Turret hadn't returned yet and began to worry. What if he got hurt? the young hybrid thought as she stood up. "I'm going to look for Turret." she announced out of the blue and sauntered away before she waited for any sort of reply.

Fresca & Kasna

Fresca hadn't heard Aminita. But after a while, she realized the youngster wasn't in sight any longer. "Aminita? Aminita?" she barked out, but got no reply. "Oh no... I'm going out to look for her!" the alpha stated and sprung up. Soon, she was out of the area.

Kasna watched her leave. His stomach rumbled. Padding over to the deer carcass, he began to eat, but watched the others carefully incase they had any objection to the movement.
