*Humans*

The two jeeps soon pulled up into lot, a few men rushing to help their injured buddy while the three left each carried one of the wolves to the second floor where the animals would be cared for. Each was placed on an examining table, and the door behind them was locked. With a sigh, the latter two men to arrive stood back, as the remaining man set out to work. He went straight to Karai, whom had been injected with the most sedative. He was quick, taking measurements, teeth side, and checking a few muscles. And finally he injected the fae with a tracking chip between her shoulder blades, rubbing the area. This one was on tricky ground, as she had attacked a human, so her tracking chip would be most important if one day she was released. He carried her to the first available cage, setting her inside with the water and the hard dog food, topped with some chicken. Finally he administered the reversal drug, closing the door behind him as he did so.

He did the same with the other two, first on Azul, and then on Kali, taking measurements and placing a tracking chip under the skin. They too were placed inside their own cages with food and water, and finally given the reversal drug before having their cage doors closed. Now there were four wolves here, all soon to be relased once the new renovations on the enclosure were finished. With the recent break out, new technology was being used to prevent digging, and even more camera's would be added. The wolves were making this the equivalent of a human prison, not the intention the humans had at the start.

Karai

Karai was completely unconscious during the entire procedure. They had made it just in time: another few minutes and she would have been history. But the strength of the sedative was still upon her, keeping her deeply under its spell as she shifted in nightmare-filled dreams, whining piteously.

Kali

Kali felt her body and woke in the cage where she saw karai. She didn't seem to mind everything else, but she had to talk to her. "I'm sorry Karai," she said swalling her pride for the very first time in her life.

Karai

The star-dusted vixen did not stir at Kali's words, though they would have touched her heart had she been able to hear them. However her struggles against an invisible foe lessened somewhat, and her whining lowered to something less peircing, almost like a pup who is afraid of the dark. In her dream, Kali came to her aid, fighting beside her as she could not, would not in life. She continued that small whining, scrubbing her backside against the floor as her fear backed her to the wall of the cage, trembling.

Moon Spirit

She knew it was dangerous to come here. Oh how she knew. But her mate was here, and Karai. She did not know that Kali was there as well. She stood outside of the door and whimpered softly but at the first hint of humans near the door the brave alphess darted backwards and away from them. She had backup. Other wolves to distract the humans while she tried to get her mate and friends out of the vet building. SHe let out a tremendous bark trying to lure the humans out of their sanctuary. Moon Spirit was normally a kind wolf and many knew that but there was just somethings that a wolfess needed and that was her pack. The humans had taken most of her pack and now all she had left was her daughter Kekochoi who had left her but would come back if need be. In fact, her fiery daughter lurked in the brush and upon her mothers bark she charged out, her black hide contrasting with her white mothers. Moon Spirit backed farther from the door and let out another bark and lifted her tail acting as if she wished to play with the humans. "Come out, come out, where ever you are." She called in a sickly sweet voice. Keko shook her head at her mother but stood in a stance of a dog's bow, ready to play. She let out a playful bark calling once more to the humans.

Abamacho stood in the brush. Kekochoi had spoken to him in private and told him of the going ons. Although he wished to have no part of his mother and father he knew what would happen to his mother if she did not get her mate back at least. He let out a piercing howl to call to Soleda. His friend might enjoy a little rescue mission, for Kali was one of their own kind....The kind with demons inside.

Soleda

Soleda soon joined her dark companion, kneeling in the brush next to him, so much shadow in the green. Her eyes met his briefly, wondering what they were doing here, but she did not speak. Instead, she waited for him to signal her. He was still her alpha, and she under his command. She would obey.

*Humans*

The humans jumped at the frenzy of barks outside but a window would allow them some indication. One man moved towards the indow, observing the barks coming from the wolves. However he still had his dart gun, hopefully enough to keep the wolves away. So from his safe spot inside the room, he took aim on the first wolf he saw, Moon Spirit. The dart was the usual one's, not the extra strength one's that had been newly developed. Hopefully if this wolf fell, her friends would also come out of hiding to check, a bad move for a wolf not wishing to be caught.

Moon Spirit

Moon Spirit saw a flash from the window and she looked up to see the human. Swearing under her breath she leaped back and yipped trying to lure the humans out. "I'm a good wolf see? I'm a nice puppy." HEr eyes however were hollow and haunted. The humans had took all but two members of her pack. And those two members were never around anyways. She let out a sorrowful cry which brought her small daughter closer. Moon Spirit stared into the humans eyes, silently pleading with him to let her mate and her friends go. Little did she know, her nephew was in there as well.

*Humans*

The humans stood firm, not needing to leave the room, their focus too far on the wolves anyway. One had yet to wake up, the one which had been under the truck. They had to wait for the male to respond. He had been given a reversal drug already so there was not much left to do.

The man at the window cursed under his breath as he missed, saying something of better gates and so forth. He was getting annoyed by the wolves outside, but was not about to kill that. It would completly turn the project around.

Moon Spirit

She whimpered softly at the man and took a few brave steps forward. About that time a young woman carrying a large german shepherd mix came around the corner. She halted seeing the wolves and set her dog down for a moment staring at the white wolfess. "Cheeto?" She said softly. Moon Spirit looked over at the young woman. Aralyn had been having a rough time lately but this was her chance. With a yip she bounded over to the woman and rubbed against her. Cautiously the raven haired beauty stroked the white alphess. Staring at Kekochoi and praying she was as kind as her mother she picked up Malon and continued forth. She kicked the door a few times as blood ran down her arms. Malon had gotten into a dog fight and needed help fast.

Azul

the brute woke slowly to bars she growled and finally stood seeing his mate he yipped happily he was so tired he wanted to go home but how he wanted to be free this wasn't right

Kali

I say screw authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them.
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes.
Fustration, Domination,
Feel the rage of a new generation.
We're livin we're dyin;
We take the time and will endless try and destroy.
Enjoy, fight the world and become a new toy.
Dominate, eliminate,
Do you feel the rise, the rise of hate?

Kali listened to them speak, Karai said nothing as the kindest words ever spoken from her jaws were for Karai and thanking her. Kali was left in the darkness as always. She was only born to follow in her mother's foot steps and left behind. Her mother, jayashri, Nita, Katchina, Karai, Moon Spirit, and Aaka. She sat their listening and her heart being eaten by darkness all while she went insane. She bared the tips of her canines snarling as if she had gone rapid. Loud barks thundered from her jaws just thinking of everything that happened. Thinking about her simplist mistakes, thinking about the blood and death. The gift she was given that was nothing more then shit. Just how everyone seemed to put her in the darkness and their she stood in the cage going mad. She started to slam her body into the sides barking hestaricly. "Go ahead and shoot me. Put be out of my damn missory!" she barked out although the humans could not understand her. Tears rolled down her cheaks and her ears flattened to her skull.

Wandering in darkness
Tasting the light
Too much of both
Now I don't know what's right.

Karai

Softly, quietly, the clouds rolled away, and the whimpering ceased completely as she finally awoke, still a little stunned from the double dose she had received. It was Kali's banging and screaming that brought her around, and she brought her head up quickly, her eyes lit in frantic confusion. Kali! Kali, darling stop! Kali, Kali, what is wrong? Kali? She struggled to rise, the dosage not quite having worn off yet. Finally the made it, and clumsily staggered over to the bars, still repeating her name in that soft, warm voice. Kali...

Azul | White Noise

White Noise was known forhis killing of humans two in the alleys and one at Pikes Lake and attacking others. His form came forward from the darkness through with the growing night his chassis would be harder to see than the others his yellow tinted voids were the most noticable as he slink forward near the door waiting for it to open more so he could slip in. the humans had taken a pake mate of his own Kali he howled to Bane calling him to hid for backup.

Azul howled low and lonely as he heard his mate hoping she could hear him hearing Kali he barked to her in a firm voice |Calm down things will look up my brother will be here soon enough|

Bane

Bane came coldly to his father's side, knowing they were here for two reasons: Kali and Azul. Though there was certainly no wasted affection between Azul and White Noise, they were brothers, and Bane knew that his father would help Azul if he could. But it was Kali that he came for. That strangely haunting fae had piqued his curiousity. It would be a shame if she died.

Kali

Kali turned to Karai who called her name. "What you want bitch? Calm me down so I don't annoy the hell out of you so then you can leave me in the dust searching with regrets? I can't live like that can't you see?" she barked. She barked so franticly over and over slamming her body into the side of the cage with all of her might, her muscles tighening. "Am I going to be left here to die?" she asked them with dark empty eyes. She slammed into the side of the cage once more knocking it over, but it did not open. She tumbled to her side and yelped. She scrambled back to her paws painting heavily.

Karai

As she watched the dark fairy fight with the doors, her head went down, no tears coming but upset all the same. Kali... I have never left you. I have always held home open for you. You could have come home any time you wanted, you know that. I promised, and I remember my promises. Do you remember Kali? "Always and forever you are welcome here with me," I said. "You shall be my daughter in all but blood, if you so desire." I have not forgotten, Kali. My words stands. You ask me what I want. The answer to that is very simple. I want to love you. That's all I ever wanted, from the very first moment a lonely, angry, frightened pup came to our den. That's all I ever wanted from you... was permission to love you. Her legs were tired, so tired... but she forced herself to stay at the bars, her voice still soft, still low, and above all, loving. She began humming softly to herself, just loudly enough that Kali would hear and recognize the tune.

Mine you are,
Mine you'll stay,
No matter where you roam.
So remember, where ere you go...
Go you safe,
Keep you safe,
And come you safe home to me.

Kali

Kali shook her head. "I don't want to go back there. I look for you and you are gone just like everyone else. I'm nothing like you bitch. I was dragged to your den then. I didn't want to be anywhere near you! You took me away from the only thing I knew and look what's it's done. Here I stand going insane!" she cried. Her barks grew louder and ecoed around the room. She slammed her body at the door of her cage.

White Noise | Azul

Kali you won't die here I promise me and Bane will get you out it would help of you calmed down

the hunting yellow eyes scanned the area.

Bane let me know if you see the humans.

Azul watched his brother eyes cold they were brothers so they were theere for each other in crisis but nothing else. Azul did not agree with the ways he brother acted he was much like Aaka too bad they never became mates then again if they had of things might have been worst then they are with her and Legosa.

Karai*Bane

Bane only nodded, calling to Kali, Aw buck up, for heaven sakes! We ain't gonna leave ya here.

Karai listened to Kali's tirade, still keeping her voice soft and calm. I never forced you to stay, Kali. When you said you wanted to leave, I allowed it, let you leave, not knowing where you were going. When we leave here today you will make the same choice. You will go with White Noise and Bane, if only because you are so determined not to need me. And I will not stop you, Kali. This is what you want. You believe this will make you happy, and every mother wants her children to be happy, even when in hurts to see them go. I will not stop you Kali, but nor will I stop loving you. Your place in my heartwill always stand open, should you ever wish to return to it. I hold my loves with an open paw, free to come and go as you choose. I will not trap you Kali. Sometimes the only way to hold on to something is to set it free. I free you, Kali. Free you to go to the darkness that enchants you so, that haunts you in the night. Free you to wander the earth under your own choosing, following no one's path but your own. Free to find the light, if you will, or free to hide from it if you won't. Whatever happens is your care now, not mine. And she sighed, shaking her head.

You are a grown wolfess, and far be it for me to make decisions for you. Do what you like. My hear holds its placefor you, but my mouth is done persuading. Eytan is right... you are grayness, lost between two worlds and afraid to takes sides for fear that the other parts of you will be lost forever. Kali... there are very few creatures who are truly one side or the other, dark or light. Most of us are a vague shade of gray lost somewhere between, just like you, never really knowing where our true place is. But now, I am done. That is my last word on the topic. Whatever happens, darling... I'll love you til my dying day with the steadfast love that only a mother can possess. And she turned, hearing Moon Spirit, Bane, White Noise, Keko, others. Be careful. Don't get hurt.

*Humans*

The humans watched the barking from below still, the one who seemed the more expirienced vet moving to view Azul and examine his motions. It seemed he was able to move almost normally, which ment the drug had done it's job.

The two free humans now moved to the window, dart guns in hand. They had a good many darts left and they btook careful aim at any wolves which stood near the door. They took a shot for White Noise, being so close to the lite building, he was easy to see. The other took a shot at Bane, for the male was also close. It was this man which say the girl and he leaned over the edge to yell down at her. "You'll have to find another facility. Our's is too packed now and we are unnder lock down." His voice carried far enough for her to hear, and he soon returned to standing normally by the window. He hadn't been lieing, this place normally only held two or three wolves at a time. No one had brought in three wolves at once before. Currently there were five canines, alot for this place, and considering the situation, this place would most definetly be under lock down. It needed to be in order to properly add to the enclosure and settle on new safty issues.

Aralyn

"Please let me in! Hes dying!" Tears began to fall from the girls cheeks as she felt the shepherds heart beat slowing second by second. "Please..." She sobbed. Malon lay in her arms his head hanging. The only sign of life coming from the male was an occasional cough or ragged breath. "I'll take him with me when I leave I just need to use your facilities for an hour! Thats all an hour I promise" She sobbed to the man at the window.

Moon Spirit, aka Cheeto, stood next to Aralyn. She brushed against the womans pant leg and licked Malons foot trying to help him focus on staying alive. "Keko!" The small lithe black female moved forth. "Try and slip through when Aralyn goes in. Race around and be an idiot and distract the humans. Whatever you do, watch out for the dart guns." Kekochoi nodded her understanding and moved back again. She barked and barked and barked and began racing back and forth, zig zagging and making swift turns becoming a very hard target for the man to hit.

*Humans*

The man who had spoken looked back at the others, contimplating for a long while before looking back down. Fine, I'll call for one of the men on the firest floor to let u in. You may work down there, thats where all the supplies u will need will be. The man turned around, using his radio to tell one of the men to open the door and let the girl in.

The man opened the door, literally pulling the girl inside. He knew of the wolves outside and had to avoid letting too many, if any in. He then shut the door, not noticing if any wolf had slipped through before pointing towards the room with the medical supples and the oporating table which she could use. However, the man was careful toward her.

Aralyn*Kekochoi

Kekochoi slipped through the closing door as fast as she could. Suddenly she emitted a loud bark and began to do as her mother told her; race around like an idiot. The little black female raced around inside of the office barking her head off and skidding around corners doing her best to distract the men. She leaped onto one of the tables and yelped as she couldnt get traction on the metal and slide right off the other side. She landed, less gracefully then she would have wished, on her feet and continued to run as fast as she could around and around the office, all the while looking for keys.

Aralyn swore under her breath as Kekochoi raced around but she did not stop her quick movements to the place where she could work on Malon. The young woman quickly got to work, trying as hard as she could to bring the near death shepherd back to life.

Bane

Bane had dodged the dart deftly: he was nobody's fool. Humans were never kind to wolves unless they had a gun with them. He scowled his displeasure, but otherwise remained calm.

Atticus

The hybrid, pacing in his cage, had tried his best to ignore all the commotion. He was easily agrivated and had the hot temper and vicious streak that both his parents posessed. He growled and muttered under his breath at all the racket, and finally could take no more. "It's annoying enough being tagged by a two-legger; is all this noise really neccessary?!?"

Atticus glared at the other caged wolves, and the one running around in the room. "I hope you get caught." He growled, seething in his own hurt pride and fury.

Kali

Kali said nothing and growled watching as she could do nothing more then watch. Her heart raced as her life and the lives of many others were at stake.

*Humans*

The man downstairs let the girl work, staring at the dog which ran about madly. He could do no harm, and if he tried to attack, the man also carried a dart gun, which he would use if need be.

White Noise | Azul

Noise had been stealthy slipping in then hidding under some coverage that hid his dark body completely he would stay were till the other man unlocked the doors.

Azul stood as the Vet came to him hair stood on end deep in his azul and amber gaze was written begging |please let us go home we don't belong here we need our loves| He thought if Moon Spirit and he moved to the back of the cage and laid down he refused to touch his water and food he barked to the others.

Do the same don't eat or drink we could get ill but at the same time maybe they will take pity on us.|

Karai

The steely girl had no appetite, and simply curled up, eyes closed. Pain was riding her face, though she was careful to keep it turned away from Kali. She couldn't see. Instead she faced Azul, ignoring everyone, silently and tearlessly crying to herself.

Kali

Kali did the same. She did not eat or drink and laid in her cage watching everything that went on.

Azul

white noise waiting hidden where no one could see downstairs

Azul smiled to himself as the duo listened to him. sighing he looked to them both he saw pain in each of them and he whinned gently some comfort he wasn't about to get separated from them he would die before that happened he would keep this pack together and get back to his love.

Crucified .+. Tyrant .+. Rapture

A pack stirred the night as a friend had requested a rescue. The lead, Crucified led in with glowing green eyes that soon faded from growing thunder clouds in the already darkened sky. He was closing in on the building as a flash of lightning and a crack of thunder announced the beginning of the horrific storm. Winds stirred heavy and tree's bent at the mercy of the wind as drops began to fall.

Soon, sheet after sheet of rain, the sky cried heavily. More heavy than it had in a long time. Crucified looked up to the sky as another flash lightning connected from one part of the sky to another, flashing his outline as well as his giant brother. In that flash of light both looked to the building, a nightmarish seen it was as both stared hungrily at the building, then the light faded and again they melted into darkness. The crack was heard just moments after the flash and both wolves headed closer and closer to the building.

Crucified turned to Faute, "Where do you think they would be holding them?" He growled, Tyrant looked up to a room with human shadows walking past. "Probably that one, but I could be wrong." He said turning to Faute for his own answer.

Following close behind, Rapture watched the family, though made sure he wasn't heard. When the sky cracked he shook, he had never been in a thunderstorm and his puppiesh habbit told him to run. But he faught the fear and continued forward as the adults did.

snowbound beauty

The white fem walked behind Faute, her amber/hazel eyes glittered as thunder struck with lightning, her maw was lifted to the sky, and sniffed, 'I think that too."

White Tip

She walked beside crucified.She sniffed around and then listened.

Twilight Beauty

The hybrid lingered behind the pack, eyes alert on the building, awaiting any dangers. She hadn't really encounters humans before, though she had heard horror stories from her late father, who's sisters and father had been murdered by humans.

Atticus

He had grown bored in his cage, and decided against the starvation the others were putting themselves through. He didn't want to grow weak and helpless if there was any chance of overthrowing the humans and escaping on his own terms. Atticus still didn't realize just how smart and cunning the humans had become when dealing with the wolves.

As the storm began outside, Atticus stood and perked his ears forward, looking to the nearest window. All he could see was the lashing rain and the silhoutte of branches swaying in the torrent. He could not see the ground, for it was two-stories below the window. And he didn't know that his brother was outside with backup.

Faute

Faute stared up at the second story window when loud incessant barking caught his attention from below. He stared confused now. "I thought they were upstairs...." HE said softly. Suddenly a white, mud splattered form came rushing towards him. The male bristled when suddenly a warm voice said to them "Kekochoi is in there. She....Shes running around distracting the humans like I told her to but I dont know what to do now" she whispered softly. Moon Spirit's nephew was inside, as well as her daughter.

Faute nodded his head and looked up at the second story window and said "They are up there then." Moon Spirit let out a soft whine and began to pace back and forth wishing her mate was back here with her instead of inside being held captive with almost Moon Spirits entire pack. The humans had hit her hard.

Abamacho came trotting out of the trees and past his mother. His black and silver silhouette could be seen as a flash of lightening came spearing down and hitting a tree. The massive giant fell and the wolf growled softly but continued on not assessing the damage. He couldn't leave his father in there to die, nor his little black sister.

Crucified .+. Tyrant .+. Rapture

Closer and closer he grew, ears pinned tight as he looked for a way in. " Is there a way to get up in there. How do humans get into these" He passed a door and looked up at it strangely. Tyrant came by and looked at it. "That looks like a way in, but how to get their attention long enough to get inside?" He asked, turning to the other wolves. Crucified hopped someone knew what to do..

Rapture came in far behind and watched from the bushes as the adults filed out into the openings. He stared strongly and waited.

White Noise | Azul

The onyx hunter came from his hidden place under a table when all was still well other than the huntress running about barking he smirked and moved to the outside down and pushed against it with all his weight maybe if he opened it the others could get it he barked sharply to let them know he was in.

Azul lifted his head as he heard several barks. they hadn't starved themselves yet it was still night he growled something was going on and he had a feeeling things were about to be right he back to his friends.

|Wake up something is going on outside.|

Kage

I trot to the place of humans and growl darkly at my son as I see him there. "Wheres your sister?" I hiss to him. I know that Ressurrection will not go far without her brother. What I did not know however was that she had gone to the Down Town in search of other humans. Worse humans.

Rapture

I watch as my mother comes forth to me, not suprising that she could smell me following close behind. But still I couldn't find it in my 'heart' to care. She was as pathetic as the rest of them. Slowly I bare my teeth as she arrives and answer in a mono tone voice. "She was following" I said then turned to where she -should- have been "But obviously she's not there anymore." Humor.. was it suppose to be funny.. my comment.. maybe...

Sun yellow spheres turned back up to the damsel and I whispered to her softly, "I bet if you looked for her you'd find her as easily as you found me." With that I turned and ran, ran as far as I could to get to no where.

Kage

I snarl in anger at my son and snap out at him before he leaves my fur bristling. He is growing to be to much. Just like Risen had been for Fallen. But unlike her I will not take it. I am stronger then that. I turn and begin to pace back and forth my rage barely controlled at my sons behavior. The little rat would pay. Not the nicest thing a mom to think but I was angry. So angry. He disobeyed me. That was not to be stood for.

*Humans*

White noises attempts were useless, as the door had a lock, and could not just be pushed open.

The humans had refused to leave the rom, and they had enough food, and a fauset for watr to last at least a few more days. But the fact that they seemed to be prisoner in their own facility made them worry... alot. One of the men looked out of the window, and despite it being night, the spot lights were on outside of the building. But just then there was a flash, followed by a loud clash, andeven the grown men jumped in their skins. The spots went out, followed by the inside lights. This had never happened before, but lucky for them, the inside lights would come back on within the next few minutes due to a back up generater. However, the spots were a different story... The man who had access to the window fired a random dart, a normal strength one down below, hoping to hit any of the animals.

A little bit of luck however was on their side. The issues at the feeding pen had cleared up, and finally three of the men were returning. None of them had rain jackets, the exact thing they needed at a time the rain came down to heavily, but they did have flashlights, and of course their dart guns. Up until now, they had no need for them, the spots leading the way, but the moment they went out, the flashlights were turned on, and the humans found themselves seeeingthe outside of the builing surrounded by wolves. Without thinking the three men pulled out the dart guns, these one's high strength from the last encounter. The first man took a shot at Snow bound beauty, an easy sight with her white pelt. The second took his at Crusified, and the last at Faute. Like the trained men they were, the instant the shot was fired, they reached for more darts, which at this time was running a bit low. They each had enough for a few more shots, but that was about it.

White Noise

Noise had caught the slight sound of men approching from outside and barked a loud warning before retreating to his hidding spot near the door that would lead the were the other humans were. He was itching to kill another human and he waited for the door outside to open then the men would come to the door he was hidden beside now. the table was too low to be seen under and he hoped they left the light switch off as he caught the hum of a generator he knew the lights upstairs would be back on hehad to act to get through that door just as the last human came through.

Aralyn

"SHIT!" The womans voice was loud as the lights went off. The heart moniter she had had on Malon went off and she halted in her procedure. "What's going on?" She said. She had been concentrating so hard on saving Malon that she hadn't noticed the storm outside. She started shivering, for she was only wearing a tank top and a pair of shorts. Not something to stay warm in anyways. Blood stained her hands and a bit on her cheek from where she had rubbed a spot. "Do we have back up lights? Something?" She was shivering and goosebumps littered what flesh was seen.

Kekochoi halted panting heavily. She had been running around for a good hour now and she didn't know how much more she could take. She crawled beneath a seperate table from White Noise and waited silently trying to smooth out her pants for breath. The humans would have lost sight of her. Not a good thing.

Faute heard the warning bark from White Noise and turned to find lights coming their way. He cursed under his breath and leapt to the side trying to get away from the darts. Suddenly, a large form leaped from the bushes. Abamacho. His black and grey hide had kept him well hidden with Soleda. He aimed for the nearest human, the one who had shot at Crucified, aiming for the back of the mans neck to break the spinal cord. He had made no noise and he was aiming for the man in the back so no one would see him. His form was like a ghost with his fangs wide open hopefully catching the man.

Crucified .+. Tyrant.

The white beast turned at the sound of feet stepping. As soon as the flash lights turned on he darted to get away. He heard the shot that was ment to hit him and felt it whiz past just slightly behind him. Turning to the rest he growled. "Into the woods, don't let them get you with those things. And you" He turned to Abamacho, "Leave at least one, it's our only way in. "

Fromt he darkness Tyrant game bounding forth. Leaping at the one aiming for Faute. He too went to the back of the mans neck. Hoping to snap it easily in his grip, though he knew the man could turn or attack with his gun.

White Tip

She heard the bark and her ears pinned then she heard crucified and did as she was told and ran for the words.Her tail flagging.Her black hide bristling and the white tip on her tail looked like a warning flag.

*humans*

The man downstairs turned inthe dark to the voice. "They will come back on in a moment miss." And almost like on cue, the lights flickered on, the generater doing it's job.

Outside, two of the men fell from the force of the impact, however, both were strong men, and their stronger neck muscles prevented a quick death. However, the remaining man sent a dart towards Tyrant, hoping he would be too distracted with his struggling comrade to notice.

Upstairs there was a sigh of releif as the lights came back on, and the men did a quick scan over the wolves just to check on them. They could hear the wolves and the men below, and once they realized that their own men were being killled, they began to get worried. No sooner though, did the walkie talk at the one's side begin to beep, and he lifted it to his ear to hear Tara, the head vet and reseacer speaking a quick message. He nodded, looking both relieved and worried. They would have to release these wolves if they wanted to protect the research. All of them had transmitters, so if they did anything wrong, they could eventually one day be captured once more. However, he only stood there for now, because therewas a signal he was to wait for before anything would happen.

Soleda*Karai

The sweet sprite had already been awake, though she did not move at Azul's words. She was lost in thought, in pain of knowing things that were better left unsaid...

The dark Soleda leapt forward with Abamacho, leaping for the front of the legs of the man he leapt for, hoping to tumble him and distract him a little from her friend's more vital attack.

Tahmores*Elder Brother

It was at this point that the brothers entered, Tahmores once again using his vambraced arm to deflect Abamacho, shoving to send him down to the ground. He put a booted leg into Soleda's mouth, eyeing the female in a particularly ugly way. She was the daughter of a friend. She knew better.

Brother stood protectively in front of Tara, watching, waiting.

Azul | White Noise

Azul growled angerily from inside his cage his plea to be let free turning into hot tempered anger. As the man came in he slamemd his timber wolf weight into the cage almost tipping it over he wanted them to leave Karai and Kali alone he barked and growled his blue and amber gaze showing he ment business. He clamped down on the cold steel bars then back away and threw his weight into the cage again.

White Noise was still below silent waiting

*Humans*

Tara followed slowly, covering hermouth at the sight of so many wolves here. She wanted to rush to he rmen but it didn't happen like that. Instead she brougth out thewalkie talkie, tellingthe men up stairs that it was time. Then she looked to Tahmores. "They will bring the cages down but I need to make sure they will be safe..." her words were quieted by thestorm above them which through strong windsand rain inall directions.

The man upstairs nodded to the news, motioning to the others to grab the cages. They were unsure which belonged to packs, so for now they would be forced to release them all. However they would not attempt to leave the room until Tara said it was safe... or better then it was at the moment.

Tahmores*Elder Brother

Elder Brother kept his place in front of Tara, not about to let her get hurt when his boy had demanded her protection. But his eyes remained on Tahmores, waiting for the coming signal.

Green eyes lit at Tara's words, and one could almost see him perking his ears. Finally he turned to Brother, drawing his dagger and turning it purposefully to the right before resheathing it. Prisoners to be released.

Brother gave a quick nod and called out to the canines in the gathering, hoping against hope that his voice would carry through the door to the wolves inside. Easy now, brethren. Your packmates will be released without harm to anyone. The two-legs were ignorant about packs, an ignorance which we hope to eliminate. The two-legs will release your brethren, but they fear you. They will not release your friends while you threaten them. Please remain calm and allow them to release your friends. And he made a tight circle in on himself, which told the boy that he had finished speaking.

Tahmores turned to Tara, voice soft and light, though his eyes were serious. Give them a moment to digest the idea. This is new to them. Brother will tell us when all are settled and it is safe for your men to come out.

Crucified .+. Tyrant

Crucified watched as most of the other wolf packs ignored him. He sent up a howl to all of them. "If you keep attacking they will hide. Retreat and let the humans create an entery. On of their kind say they will release the wolves. See if they will, if no move in." He lowered growling no in a demanding voice that all attackers decease their show and wait for a releasal. Their threat was good enough to get their message across, by Brother's words. He gave a sharp growl to brother, "You stay out here until our pack members are released. If they arn't you'll be the one in trouble." He turned back waiting for the others to be released.

Tyrant was alert to all his suroundings. Except the very moment the gun had gone off. He was hit with the dart and moved only to growl at the human, then fell flat on the ground. This awoke a new anger in Crucified and he stepped out, hackles rose as he watched his younger brother fall. A louder snarl was sent to Brother "They had better fix him too!" He said but remained far enough that the humans could feel some releaf from him.

Kage

I watch in silence as the proceedings seem to drag on. I roll my eyes and say moodily "I'm heading out. I will see you whenever I get back to the packlands." I had no idea where I was going. I just wanted to be away from here. FAR away.

Elder Brother

He nodded, not begrudging Crucified his anger, for he knew what it was like to lose packmates. His voice was carrying as he replied. Yes. They will release your packmates and administer antidotes for the darts. As soon as you give them room, they will release your friends.

White Tip

She remaind hidden watching the going ons.She hoped to get back to her pups soon.

Azul | White Noise

White Noise was still in the first room heheard all that was happin they had done it their packmates would soon be out. He stepped from hiddin and moved to the door that lead outside waitin for it to open to he could get out.

Azul was gettin madder he was usually a calm tempered hunter yet he was not happy here he growled and flung himself into his cage side again a stray wire cut into his shoulder drawin back with a small yelp he growled again.

Kekochoi

Hearing the plans the female suddenly charged for the door and realized a second to late she couldnt stop. She skidded and slammed hard into the door. With a yelp she lept back and stared at the humans with a pained expression. Doors hurt....

Abamacho did not let loose his hold on the human as the boot kicked him hard. Instead his grip only tightened and his fangs ripped open the back of the mans throat as he was kicked to the side. He let loose on his own accord fury at Brother drawing him closer to the male his fur bristled as blood and saliva dripped from his maw. "Get my sister out of there. NOW" He actually didnt care for his sister but he wanted to get his point across. He was willing to kill. Crucified had no control over him. He was an alpha himself. He glared hard into the males eyes but he stood three feet away. He made sure he was away from the humans being careful of them and there many dart guns.

Elder Brother*Soleda

The canine sighed quietly, his neck dropping automatically into a guarded position and eyes following Abamacho, though he otherwise was completely calm. They cannot release your sister if you continue to threaten them. They hide from your inside their den because they fear you. They will not come out until they are sure they will not be harmed. Your best course of action would be to step back and relax.

Here, Soleda came forward, knowing without a doubt that this logical explanation would not touch her friend at all. But she remembered the look on Tahmore's face, and sighed. Standing beside him, she ran her dial along his side, willing him to relax, though her expression was the same evil grimace he knew so well. Abamacho the humans are craven cowards. You know that. They won't come out of there til they think we won't hurt them. If they don't let them go, then by all means slaughter all of them. But if we kill them, we have no way to get Kekochoi out of there. At least wait til they let them go.

Abamacho

He growled darkly but as Soleda touched him a serene expression passed over his face, as if her very touch was what kept him from attacking. He nodded his head and sat down, his head held high in a regal pose watching the door through bright eyes with Soleda by his side.

*Humans*

Abamacho's human fell dead in screams, the time the wolf had spent on trying to kill him succeeding. Tara could only look away, the sight enough to make her sick although shehad tooo many worries to feint from soemthing like that now. It seemed thatthe wolves ere calming, and shakily she brought the electronic device to her lips, speaking in it. "Start to bring the wolves out. One by one. Also, bring me down an antidote. Makethis quick and painless"

Inside the building the man recieving the words only nodded and turned to the other two. They would be the one's taking the cages down, while he stayed and watched from above.

The men went first to Azul, for the wolf seemed to be injuring itself, something they didn't want. Carefull the men each grabbed a side, which the third placed the antidote in the pocket of one of the men. Then he pushed open the door, yelling down to the other worker to open the door down there once they finally got down. It took then a few minutes to safely travel downthe stairs,butthey made it withough much problem. The man on the second floor closed the door behind them, and rushed to the window totry and view the progress. It was dark but thelight rom the window gavesome indication of what was goingon below.

The door to the outside finally opened, and the men brought the cage out away from the door. They bent down, setting the thing down as easily as possible. And finally with a hesitant jerk, the men unfastened the locks and opened the cage door. They were hesitant to move,forthey didn't know how this wolf would react.

Crucified .+. Tyrant

Crucified turned a snarling face and pointed to his brother. Barking and growling at Brother to tell the humans to heal Tyrant. He turned back to the humans now and watched through gold eyes as they released one male. Then Crucified turned to Faute, "Tell me when your brother is down. I have never seen him.. I don't recall." He said softly then turned once more to watch the human's actions.

Faute

He nodded his head and said softly "Hes a little bigger then me. White with some grey. More attitude then any wolf ever needs....From my parents I am sure you understand." He knew of the males own family but he said nothing as he waited quietly for the release of his brother. He did not truly love Atticus. Oh no not really. But he was family.

Tahmores*Elder Brother*Soleda

Tahmores watched the man go down, but as one raised to death, he knew death when he saw it. He laid a hand on Tara's arm, his voice soft. Remember... I am here to help make this better. Hopefully, when I help you understand my brethren, there will be no more deaths here.

Brother watched quietly, keeping an eye on all present, and particularly on Abamacho and Soleda. He had stilled so instantly at her word that Brother knew there was something between them.

Soleda gave her friend a smile, the closest thing to a thank you that had ever passed between them.

*humans*

The humans behind the cage were waiting for Azul to leave. Which was taing longer then expected The man which held the antidote was torn between safty and following orders. He took an anxious glance to Tara, not sure of howto get around a wolfwhich might possibly charge at them.

Tara was slow to respond,he eyes onlyslowly opening. The boys voice calmed her eough to let her eyes fall to the open cage, and the men behind it.She caught the confused glace of the one with the antidote, and hereyesfell from Azul to him,also unsure of how to go about the whole ordeal.

Tahmores*Elder Brother

Tahmores turned his gaze to Elder Brother, a finger circling in the air, then pointing at the man with the antidote.

Elder Brother turned to Crucified, his voice low but hearable. They will treat your friend now, but you must step back before they will come forward. And, knowing what the other was about to say, he spoke again without waiting for a reply. Any hurt they do him while under my guard may be returned eye for eye. I will not protest. If this is agreeable to you, simply back away to make yourself less threatening and they will administer the antidote. But keep in mind that these darts are strong. Without the antidote, your packmate may die. Then he turned back to his boy, a low bark emitted, followed by a series of whines and howls that had Tahmores nodding.

Tahmores turned to the man who held the antidote, and spoke softly. Brother has spoken with the packmate of this one. He indicated the unconcious wolf with a hand. He has explained that you will provide the antidote. However there are conditions. Because you have been aggressive to them before, they are suspicious. For this reason, we have had to offer them insurance against harm. If you do any harm to him, his packmates will return the damage, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Take care to do no harm. His packmates will indicate agreement by backing off.

He fixed the man with his gaze, knowing that humans weren't as adept at reading faces as were wolves, but hoping he could anyway, because his eyes were saying For heaven's sake don't screw this up.

Crucified

He heard Elder Borther, and nodded. Though a lot of the wolves here were not his pack memeber, especially his brother. "Step back, My brother needs treatment." He growled. Poor Crucified, such a kind heart for such a heartless beast.

Abamacho

His eyes narrowed and he growled softly but he turned to Soleda and said softly "Come on....Lets go find something to eat. We are finished here. If my sister is stupid enough to stay in there, thats her problem." and with that the ghost wolf turned and trotted away leaving behind only his scent and a massive paw print to prove that there he had stood, a proud warrior.

Moon Spirit stayed where she was by the door her eyes on her mate. She whimpered softly and glanced to the humans before she began to crawl towards the opening of where her love lay. "Azul?" She whispered softly tears welling up in her eyes. Her fear for the humans had her trembling, but her love for her mate had her staying still as she crawled ever closer to the door.

Karai*Soleda

Soleda nodded grimly, following her friend without a word.

Karai listened from inside the place to all that was going on, hearing Moon Spirit's voice. In years past that voice would have moved her to action, to protect and help her friend. But now she ignored the pang that shot through her. She remained curled in her ball, still steadfastly pretending as though she was the only wolf in the world.

*Humans*

With soem wolves clearing out, the man with the antidte felt safer making a move to give the antidote to Tara. Slowly he moved from behind and got close enough as to lean and hand the bottle to her. He then shakily returned back, nudging his fellow worker, both lifting the the back of the cage to nudge Azul out. When they were sure he was finally out of the cage, they walked backwards,dragging thecage wasquickly as they could, the door opening and accepting them back in. They pushed the empty cage aside and made their way back upstairs grabing the next cage, Karai. They folloedthe same procedure and once more was outside,opening the cage in hopes thewolf would go out on her own.

Tara took the antidote and moved quickly towards thewolf. She knelt down beside him, and finding avisable vain, she injected the antidote in two rounds. the stronger sedative required at least this much, although any more could overwhelm the animal.

White Noise | Azul

as the door was opened Noise left seeing Azul and his mate together he waited for his pack mate to be let out then would leave himeself

He didn't move at first that last blow the cage taken a lot from him soon he found himself on the groud he heard his love's call and slowly stood and moved to her rubbin his head in her hair

|I thought I had lost you|

Crucified .+. Tyrant

The white hellion watched as the antidote was given to his brother. He didn't like the thought of the needle but kept his distance with a large hate face to Elder brother, letting him know that if something went wrong, it would be a fair trade.

Tyrants eyes slowly opened, though the whole world was spining and everything was blurry. He grunted and lifted his head to see who was near him, but everything twisted and his head plopped back down on the ground. He couldn't move, he just layed there and closed his eyes to make the dizzyness go away.

Karai

The silver mistress made no moves until the cage door was opened, and then the rose, making a completely tame, slow exit. Coming to rest near Tahmores, she lay down, still ignoring everyone.

*Humans*

Once Karai slipped ou of the cage they returned back up the stairs, fetching the next cage belonging to Kali. They carried it downt he stairs, now only leaving Atticus and Roja. It would Appear that they couldn't release Roja as she was doing to have her pups soon, but Atticus would be the file wolf released.

Openingthe large door, the humans opened Kali's cage, hoping she would go out onher own without human interferance.

Tara stood, her foot tapping after recieving the news of Roja. She hadn't seen the wolfess yet, but pups were unexpected, and not something they had planned to deal with.

White Tip

She stood beside crucified the whole time watching them.

Crucified

Dusk brown eyes stared intently on the ones coming outside, then he turned to White tip and licked her muzzle. The mission had been stressful, and he was growing tired of waiting. Then he turned to Faute, waiting for the pup to say his brother had been set free so he could leave and go back to the pack lands.

Kali

Kali stood firmly in the cager watching the others and wondering what to do. Growls filled her jaws and her tail whipped nervously behind her with great anger and fustration.

White

she knew her pups probably wanted to nurse so she was quiet stressed she nuzzled crucified."We must leave soon crucified my pups are probably hungry and im sure insecure is getting annoyed with all those pups"She said calmly.No other female in their pack would ever breed again so unless a pregnant female or a fem with pups was allowed to join their pack no babysitter would have this much trouble anymore for they would only have the alpha's pups to watch.

*Humans*

The humans lifted the back end of the cage, urging Kali out of the cage.And once she finally did exit, they were quick to head back inside, workign to bring the last and final cage outside. They followed the same procedure, bringing Atticus's cage outside, openingit and standing behind so that he could leave. Once this was over, the teams focuz could lay on Roja, the new mother wolf.

Crucified

Snow pelt twitched as they urged the wolfess out, then turned to him mate as she spoke of the pups. He had forgotten how many had been in the group. His mind tossed in the salad of the mess they were in right now. But know she had pulled him back to his family life and he grew terribly worried. "White, go back and help with Insecure, These humans are giving much trouble, go back." He almost ordered, but simply implied for her to do so as kindly as possible.

Dust brown orbs turned back again to watch as the wolf was urged to the ground, then the humans came back with another. A white wolf lingered in the cage now. Quickly Crucified turned to Faute, "Is that your sibling?" He whispered, then looked back to Elder brother with a thank you nod. Waiting for Atticus to come out and reunite with his brother.

White

White tip nodded and turned and started running back.

Faute

"Unfortuanatly." He said softly. "Get out here stupid. Mom's in trouble and we have to find Lost and the others." With that he turned and trotted to find the rest of his siblings.

Atticus

He snarled and snapped, putting on quite the show as he cage was brought outside. With is fur bristled and ears forward in direct agression, he was ready to tangle with the two-leggers and give them a little payback. But before he did that, he spotted Faute and his eyes went wide for a moment with surprise. Of all his siblings, Faute was the last he expected to come to his rescue; well, maybe Phelan would be the last... but, Faute was still quite a surprise to see.

"Ah, how nice of you to bring a rescue party for me." The adolescent scoffed, seeing how many wolves there were. Of course, most of them were leaving now, and Atticus was sure most didn't come on his behalf. "I'll deal with you later." Atticus said, looking back to the humans. Then he bolted from the cage, heading away from the area.

Tahmores*Elder Brother

Karai had long since trotted away, leaving the boy and wolf alone in their corner of the crowd. As Atticus was released, Tahmores stepped forward, the tension gone out of his face, eyes kind as he spoke to the two men A better end than I suspected, my friends. And he turned to include Tara in his speech as he said, Thank you for believing in me. Many lives have been spared this day.

Brother watched Atticus leave, eyeing him silently. Crucified had said that he and Faute were related... but maybe blood wasn't everything. They seemed aggressive enough toward one another. Sighing, he turned to keep pace with his boy. He didn't really think anyone would attack now that their pack members were free, but he wasn't taking chances. Apologies meant nothing to the dead.

Crucified .+. Tyrant

The two saw everything play out, then soon left to go on with their own lives. Crucified howled to his pack to retreat and follow up to the pack lands.
