The New Den

[Rand]

(( yah- we have to make P/L have it be morning first though- the time's are kind of messed up right now, xDDD))

[Auriga]

(( xDDDD True ))

[nanigirl]

Nani and kiba had laied a distence from all of the wolves the laid next to each other, both seeming like outsiders amoung the others.

[Rand]

(( Nani, Kiba, and Corona are the only ones at the den........I think.....right?))

[Auriga]

(( Yes, that's right ))

[nanigirl]

( ^^ sure..i wasnt a hundred percent who was at the den.)

[Auriga]

(( xD ))

[Auriga]

Malacoda and Cerberus grabbed a part of the carcass and started to drag it. It wasn't that hard but they always had to adjust there grip on it for fear of showing Romi they were laughing at her. The face she had on was hilarious because she was so determined to look tough and do the job by herself. Malacoda and Cerberus laughed silently and by the time they were over it they were at the camp. They let go of it after dragging it into the middle of the camp and bumped into Romi playfully. They then went over to Daken noticing it was dark "Sir, may we have permission to go scout out the area and possibly try to find the enemy." Cerberus said all sarcasm out of his voice. Corona came over after hearing the request and turned to the two. "You both know this area like the back of your paw, correct?" she asked the two and they nodded. "Am I also correct that you both have had some stealth skills as long as fighting skills if they time arises?" and again they nodded. She turned to Daken "I believe we should let them go. Pyralis has been quiet for awhile. They also have the skills for it and can hold there own in a battle. The two also will have the advantage of the dark. What do you say?" she asked him. They had to start getting ready for battle and that means knowing there enemy she thought waiting for Daken.

[nanigirl]

Kiba had heard the two wolves request, he raised his head a bit, ears perked. This pack.....has enemeys? he thougt. He looked to nani. Nani was watching all the members, hearing and seeing almost all the things done and said.

[Rand]

(( Okay, how about we have them go spy, and they are met by Pyralis who are traveling to their territory, but Pyralis dosen't see them, and Cerberus and Malacoda come back nd report the attack to Daken?)) Daken nodded at the two wolves, " Sure, that sounds like a great idea, but if they spot you, run back immediately to the den." Romi turned to Kiba and Nani and realized that they had no idea what anyone was talking about. " You see, we're against two packs of wolves, Pyralis and Lunaris, and they are joined together by the Alliance, as it has always been. We haven't seen much of them since Corona and I traveled into their territory by accident, but they could attack at any time." Romi explained. She frowned slightly, then wagged her tail- trying not to look too concerned.

[nanigirl]

The still dont seem to get it. kiba sighs." Great more troublle." he sounded annoyed. nani tilts head."why....do they attack? hav eyou all done somethign wrong?"

[Rand]

" Well, we were destined for this ever since we've been born, and they hate us because of the history of this pack," Daken said, knowing what he had to say, " And, for fear that I will try and rule the forest, for it's what the prophecy fortells of." Daken said partially under his breath, but loud enough for Nani and Kiba to hear him. Romi looked up at Daken, her eyes wide. " You mean it's actually true? The prophecy?" she asked, her ears twitching. " Yes- I suppose so. I'm just not sure that I'm the one that's supposed to be leader, I mean- sure, I would like to stop them from attacking us, and maybe drive them off, but kill them all? I wouldn't want to do that." Daken answered, unsure if the last sentence was the truth or not.

[Auriga]

Corona perked her head up at what Daken was saying but quickly turned back to Cerberus and Malacoda. She had taken them aside to talk to them about their mission. "As Daken said if anything happens head back immeidetly. Stay in the shadows and always be alert at all times. Also watch eachothers back and return to base as soon as you are done." she said sternly to the two. "Yes, mom." they said together and walked off. Corona shook her head but for some reason she was extremely worried about the two. Cerberus and Malacoda started at a run going to Pyralis.

[nanigirl]

"Intresting....."kiba said stting up.

[Rand]

Daken sighed, hoping that the day would soon be over. Alot had happened that day, and he wasn't sure that anything more could happen. He spotted Reseda and Tayah coming back into the camp and explained to them where Cerberus and Malacoda were. Suddenly, Romi perked her ears up, and barked. Daken turned his head to see what was the matter, and he heard the sound of running feet. He was unsure who it was, so he growled deep in his throat. Tayah's tail bristled as she started to feel uneasy.

[nanigirl]

Kiba and nani were on their feet before the feet were heard, the were growling, their furs bristling. They seemed to have a 6 th sence of knowing something bad or worng migh thappen

[Auriga]

Malacoda and Cerberus ran into the camp with lightening speed yelling "The British are coming! The British are coming!!!"

[Auriga]

(( We should wait for Christa to come back before we do the battle...)

[Auriga]

Malacoda and Cerberus ran into the camp with lightening speed yelling "Pyralis and Lunaris are coming!!!" Corona got up and ran in front of them stopping them. "How many?" she asked quickly going into general mode. Malacoda spoke first "Ten ma'am. All lined up in pairs heading this way. I'd say about 5 minutes away. We ran into them and barely managed to get ahead of them." Cerberus panted and added "Ma'am we should be getting ready now." he said between breaths. She nodded "Go get everyone and bring them here I have a plan." she said to Malacoda. He nodded and ran off practically dragging everyone to Corona. "We are out numbered but we can catch them off guard. I can stay as bait while you all surround them when they are surrounding the camp site. It's perfect for this type of situation. What do you say, sir." she said to everyone but the last part only to Daken.
Cerberus looked about and turned to Daken "Sir, we don't have a lot of time..."
Lameda and Cain ran at a steady pace unaware that they were just 3 minutes away from the Rebel pack.
Rade followed behind carefully and tried to smother a laugh as he realized how close they were to the Rebel camp. He ran off to the right of the Lunaris and Pyralis pack with Laikia. "Things are going to heat up now." he whispered to Laikia amusement in his eyes.

[nanigirl]

KIBA IS GROWLING."i DONT LIKE THIS." HE STOOD WITH NANI BY HIS SIDE.

[Rand]

" Excellent, but are you sure that you want to be the bait...?" He asked with concern for Corona, even though he knew that she was probobly the only wolf that could pull this off. He sighed as he guessed her answer. " Right. Now everyone- get to the outer edge of the camp- deep into the trees, and make sure that you are downwind of the other wolves. And stick closely in pairs- each of our pairs will be Tayah and myself- except Tayah will be replaced by Corona when Corona has finished her job, Cerberus and Malacoda, Romi and Reseda, Nani and Kiba." He said- wishing that they had just one more wolf. " Since we are outnumbered- we're going to have to work together and if we see a wolf outnumbered two to one, and you are fighting a wolf by yourself- go and help your pack member. This will be very complicated, but with our strategy and the fact that we are on our own territory will guarentee our victory." Daken finished, dashing through the trees with Tayah by his side. He hated leaving Corona by herself, but he knew that she was very strong, smart, and fast, and no matter what, she would be okay. He took his place in the center of a big clump of braken, and laid down. He sighed as he remembered what was going to happen. It couldn't be stopped he had been that way forever, and he just hoped that he'd be able to control it- even slightly. Or else the prophecy would come true, even though he didn't want to kill- it would happen, but there was nothing he could do. He was the alpha, he couldn't leave now just because he didn't want to start a massacre, and instead leave his pack to be even more outnumbered, and lead to their doom. He watched as Tayah crawled into a hollowed fallen tree, and nodded to her. He spotted Reseda and Romi, but decided not to say anything.
Tovan felt her fur crawl as she realized that they were quickly nearing the Rebel camp- surely Lameda and Cain knew it too? She couldn't be the only wolf who knew where it was, she had only just arrived here. She clenched her teeth and hoped that the leaders knew what they were doing and that they would tell them what to do soon.
Laikia smiled uneasily, " The Cain and Lameda know that they're almost to the den- right?" she said, kind of fearing for them. She wasn't sure how this battle would turn out, the rebels had one less wolf than the others, but that might not matter.

[Auriga]

Cain and Lameda slowed to a stop after running for what seemed like hours. They looked at each-other in a silent agreement that they were close to the Rebel pack. They had a strange feeling that the leader was nearby somewhere hidden in the trees. Lameda sniffed the air but the wind was behind them so she couldn't get an accurate reading. They crept forward and came to a small clearing. A wolf was there resting in the sun sleeping it appeared. Auriga came forward for a better look and stopped dead still. It was the wolf that she had fought in the first battle between them. Lameda felt the hairs on her back rise and couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. "We should spread out and surround the camp site while two of us should go to meet the wolf. If any of you run into trouble get to one of the others as soon as possible or if forced come into the clearing. Now I'll go into the clearing or else it might be suspicious if there isn't a pack leader there." Lameda said whispering to the others. Auriga stepped forward to Lameda "I would like to come with you." She had a lot of battle experience and she knew what the wolf could do. Lameda nodded and said to Cain "You'll take Auriga's partner then and go find a spot down wind of everything. Now everyone go!" she whispered to them. Corona was laying down enjoying the sun but she had her ears perked up and she sniffed the air every once in awhile. Auriga and Lameda walked into the clearing and watched as the wolf looked up. She froze and Auriga knew she recognized her from before. She got up and started a low grow of pure hatred. Lameda was cool on the outside but beneath she was puzzled at the pure hatred the wolf gave them. "Not satisfied with my brother now are you? You now want to take out the whole pack too don't you?" Corona said now snarling at Auriga. Auriga growled slightly but did not let the rude comment get to her and resisted attacking Corona. Lameda tilted her head at this and glanced at Auriga. I assume they have met before she thought still watching the wolf called Corona. "Where is the rest of your pack." she merely said to the girl. Corona lunged at Auriga knowing that the battle would begin between the two of them. Auriga dodged and tried an attack from the side but missed. Lameda stepped back away from the two of them. This was a battle between the two of them and she would respect it by not helping Auriga unless her life was in-danger. Corona head bunted Auriga knocking her off balance and bit at her leg. Auriga shook her leg loose and bit Corona in the shoulder holding there. Corona rolled over knocking Auriga to the ground and went for the neck. Auriga rolled over and jumped on Corona trying to get at her. All the wolves watched in silence amazed at how brutal and merciless the two wolves were toward each other.

[nanigirl]

kiba and Nani had raced towards the saftest place they could hink of, they both hid in a big bush that had enough space for both wolves to hide in. Kiba was grolwing softly to himself. Nani looked at her cousin, sighing." we.....will show what happens when wolves attack our packs.she said in a whisper

[Rand]

Daken heard the first sounds of battle and nodded to Tayah. He had decided that the other wolves would know when to attack, and if he howled a command to them- it would only ruin their plan. Romi watched as Daken slunk through the trees, his eyes piercing through Lameda as she stood a hundred yards away, his eyes, Romi noticed- were not their usual golden green, but blood red. She shivered slightly, though she was glad that Daken was on her side. Daken stalked through the trees, his dark coat rippling in the crisp wind, his blood red eyes showing no emotion whatsoever. He could hear the cries of his mate from in his mind, and he knew that the force that had taken over him would probobly ignore her cries, and would fight anyone that opposed him to the death. He just wished that he could control this power, this malice, but he had given up long ago, and it could not be stopped. He felt his body slow to a stop, and watched as his eyes scanned the clearing. Suddenly- he charged, his sleek black legs floating silently across the ground. He watched as he passed by Corona, her black coat unrecogniseable as she whirled across the ground with the other female. He realized that he knew this other female, it was Auriga- the wolf that had killed Corona's brother, and he let out a snarl in his mind. His eyes averted back to the other wolf- the wolf he knew as the Lunaris leader, both by scent- and by something else. Daken felt that there was something familiar about this wolf's scent- besides that of Lunaris, but before he could think about it- he felt himself lunge- jaws apart, at this wolf, and felt his teeth dig deep into her shoulder as they both fell towards the ground. Tayah watcherd- unsure of what to do. She followed the scent of an unknown wolf then quickly came across her- a pure white female- cold fire burning in her eyes. She felt a growl come from deep inside her throat, and watched as another wolf- a grey male, appeared from behind the first one. Fear flashed in her own eyes momentarily as she realized that she could not fight both of these wolves at once, but she knew that she would not be able to run away. She lunged quickly at the white wolf, who before Tayah could strike, quickly twirled into the air an maneuvered herself out of the way. Tayah growled with annoyance and struck again, this time at the wolf's chest, and expecting the wolf to dodge it- didn't strike very strongly. But the white female didn't dodge- she struck back with much greater force then Tayah had anticipated, and she felt teeth graze her neck. She wriggled away, and lunged at the female's back, her teeth holding tightly to her back as her paws battered mercilessly. Cassia rolled onto the ground, crushing the black and red female under her own weight. She knew that the female was larger than her- but she was faster. She quickly stood up and was met by the red and black female's merciless fangs. Cassia watched as Rand lunged towards the female, and backed off slightly, smiling. She knew that this female, no matter how strong or big, didn't have a chance against herself and Rand. Tayah cowered slightly, but her hopes soon rose as she saw a red-brown flash of fur, and felt the weight of the male wolf immediately dissapear. She watched for a second as Reseda fought with the grey wolf, then Tayah went back to face her previous opponent. She lunged at the pure white neck of the female- catching her off-guard, and was surprised to feel her teeth hit somthing hard, and metal. Cassia flung Tayah onto her back, letting the red and black wolf glimpse her tear-drop silver necklace, and grinned slyly through eyes of pure ice. Tayah kicked hard, and sent the other wolf flying through the air- but only to land- though awkwardly, onto her feet again.

[Auriga]

Lameda gasped in pain and cursed her self for letting the leader of the Rebels get the better of her. A second before the wolf attack she could have sworn she saw an image of three cubs playing together. She rolled on top of the wolf and crushed him under her wait. Soon after feeling the jaws in her shoulder loosen she turned and flung the wolf into the air. Nearby she could hear Auriga and Corona fighting each other oblivious to everything else. Malacoda and Cerberus saw Tayah being ganged up on and Daken in the clearing. They nodded to each other and separated one going to help Daken while the other helped Tayah. Malacoda lunged at Lameda knocking her down to the ground. Cerberus jumped between the two wolves attacking Tayah and Reseda and did a spin sending both into the air. He looked at his two friends to make sure they were okay and gave a deep cold growl to the two wolves. Cain saw what was happening and soon located Tovan. "Come with me and help me get that large wolf away from Lameda. Draw him away to Cassia and Rand then call for Croire to help you with them." he whispered to her. He didn't wait for her answer because he had given it as an order. He ran off and tackled Malacoda. Lameda got up and waited for Daken to get up. She stopped frozen for a second or so. How do I know his name? she thought confused. Cain breathing by her side brought her back to reality and she turned her thoughts back to battle.
Rade watched fascinated at the battle and stared memorized by the scene unfolding.

[Rand]

Daken snarled evily, saliva dripping from his teeth- whose color matched that of his eyes. He stared at the two leaders for a moment, then lunged at the Pyralis leader, his teeth bared. He caught him by his chest and heaved him onto his back. He was about to dig his teeth into the wolf's neck, when he was thrown down. Dazed, he slowly got up and stared at the dark grey wolf who was snarling triumphantly at him. Tovan remembered Cain's orders, and turned to the other wolf, a bigger male. She snarled at him viciously and bared her teeth, though her eyes gleamed slightly. She darted towards him then batted him with her paw before recoiling- only to do it a second time. Her tail wagged playfully as she darted in once more, this time, catching the wolf's neck with her paw. Her expression suddenly changed as she glared into the wolf's eyes with pure hatred. Suddenly, Tovan lunged at the wolf's chest, using all of her weight, and forced him to the ground. She bit hard into his tail, then ran towards Rand, and Cassia, hoping that the other wolf would follow. Tovan slowed down as she spotted three other Rebel wolves attacking Rand and Cassia. She swiftly snuck up behind them, and dug her teeth into the hind leg of a red and black female, causing her to wail with pain, facing Tovan. Tovan sat down with a huge wolf-grin on her face as she watched two shadows emerge from the bushes. Solora lunged at a red-brown female wolf that was attacking Rand, while Blaine helped Cassia fight a large male wolf. Romi sat in the shadows- waiting and watching- trying to see what to do. Suddenly- she spotted Croire, the grey pup who she had met when she had traveled to Pyralis. Croire spotted her as well, and wagged his tail slightly, but stopped as Romi started to snarl. She walked up to him and smiled, confusing the male pup. Suddenly, Romi darted towards him, hitting his chest, and tried to snap her teeth around his neck- but only hit air. Croire pawed the tan female to the ground, and walked over to her. He put his tail up proudly as he walked around her unmoving body. Romi smiled in her mind, then kicked as hard as she could, hitting Croire with full force, sending him hurtling into a tree. Romi quickly ran over to him, and pinned him down with her front paws. She leaned towards his neck, seemingly to dig her teeth into his grey scruff- ending his life. Romi stopped and let her teeth gently graze Croire's fur before saying anything. " If you leave now, and don't come back, and you PROMISE, then I won't kill you." She said, lifting her head. She knew that she had the will power to kill him, but not the need to. She wasn't going to be like the wolves that had killed her father. She looked into Croire's eyes as he nodded, and she knew that he was telling the truth. She let him up and watched as he ran away into the trees. Daken whirled around to face the female again, but froze suddenlt when he looked into her eyes. His own eyes turned from red to green-gold for a moment, then turned back fiercely. Daken couldn't see how he knew this wolf, and he didn't know why it would seem better just to talk to her- but even if he wanted to, he couldn't. He lunged at her back, and felt his teeth dig into her back as he closed his eyes.

[Auriga]

(( ....uh oh You really shouldn't have done that ya know. Lameda is going to be soooo mad at ya and Cain is going to have to be peace maker. ))

[Auriga]

"I've had enough of you!" Lameda yelled and rolled Daken off of her. She lunged at him and ripped at his fur trying to get to his neck. Malacoda growled and chased after the female wolf. He came upon his friends and saw the danger they were in. "Get away!" he shouted and knocked a blow at the male wolf. He did so with the others and leapt back on the male trying to take out the strongest. Cerberus turned to the wolf that had snuck up behind them and attacked her biting deep into her shoulder. Cain could have sworn time slowed down and he looked around surprised. Near him was Auriga and Corona both on the edge of unconsciousness and then the two pack leaders a foot away from him. A couple of yards the rest of the wolves were fighting blindly at each other and he turned away from them in disgust. He looked at Lameda and Daken and saw Daken's eyes blood red blinded from everything but anger and hate. Lameda on the other hand had eyes light blue yet clouded that seemed to make them like the coldest and fiercest of blizzards in Winter. "We shouldn't be fighting like this..." he said his words barely above a whisper. Lameda however heard this and realization of what she was doing hit her like a lightning bolt. Her eyes cleared a bit and she got off of Daken. "We should go..." she said her voice hoarse but loud enough for Cain to hear. He nodded and together they let out a howl of a treaty for awhile. Auriga stopped fighting breathless and blood everywhere. She looked at Corona then walked away leaving her standing in blood. Corona didn't bother go after her but went to Daken instead. Malacoda and Cerberus stopped attacking after hearing the howl and backed off. For some reason almost all the wolves lost their will to continue the battle. Lameda and Cain soon gave a howl to retreat back to their camp for all Lunaris and Pyralis members. Cain soon stopped howling and was glad to see that Lameda was back to her old self. Cain started to walk away and so did Lameda but she stopped short. Lameda turned to look at Daken "I do not wish to fight you like this...Nor do I see why we must shed blood to end this war. I just want you to know that..." she said to him and she thought for a second she heard the laughs of three young wolves playing in the forest. She turned away and started walking to catch up with Cain leaving Daken behind.

[Auriga]

(( Dang that was fun. It took me forever to find a good way to end it though ^_^ ))

[nanigirl]

((haha lets just pretend Kiba and nani were some where in this battle, Kay? ok! lol and sorry for not coming on..i tottally forgot about the battle)

Nani and kiba stood side by sida panting and bleeding.
