Sweetclover

The pup bounded across the snow, not realizing that her tracks could easily be followed now. She skid across the slick, powdery snow, then dove into the den. She went to the very back of the chamber and curled up, as if to make herself smaller and harder to see.

The pup waited and waited, but alas, it seemed her hiding spot was just too good. Padding triumphantly from the darkness, the youngster looked around, "I win! You guys didn't find me..." Sweetclover trailed off, not hearing, seeing, or smelling anyone. "Mom? Dad?"

Nachi

The wolfess had been lost and distraught with the loss of her nephew. So once again, she took up her usual scheme; stealing a pup. Being sly and stealthy, it wasn't hard to figure out about the battle and who was in it. She had done a casual pass by each terra until she found this one, which carried the scent of pups.

Knowing the alphas of these lands were at war, Nachi took her chances and entered the domain, stepping over the border of the lands. Moving swiftly and purposefully, Nachi soon came to the den; the most logical place to look for pups. Her eyes lit up at the sight of Sweetclover, "Little one, are you all alone?" Nachi ventured, her voice tender and caring. Motherly, and sincere. "Your parents are at war, and I must keep you safe. Understand?" Nachi advanced slowly on the whelp, her features and movement reflecting the kindness of her voice. Only the most keen and vigilant might see the trickery that lay hidden in her soft orbs.

The pup padded closer to Nachi, her tail wagging in a friendly gesture. "You're going to keep me safe, until mom and dad get back? Can we play a game, too?" She asked with pleading eyes. She was too young and too carefree right now to understand that Nachi might not mean what she was offering. And besides, Sweetclover knew that her parents had many allies, and so she assumed this was one of them.

Nachi

She nodded, "Of course, little one. We will play fun games together. Now, we have to be quick. And stay quite, alright?" The wolfess slunk forward and gently took Sweetclover by the scruff. Then she hauled her away.

Belial

He rraced into the den site and looked around. "Clover! Clover!" He shouted. He crawled into the den to look for her then came back out. He let out a bark calling for his lost sister and whined softly. He had come a minute later. If he had just come a little bit earlier maybe she would still be here. The male lowered his dial and sniffed the ground but he had no reason to. Paw prints. He growled softly and trotted in the direction of the paw prints following them closely never straying from his path.
