"Ah well no worries," Ice lokked kindly Sleethran "We have all bumped into one another at some point,. Yer well we are all going to start a pack at White Mountain. And we sahll be called White mountain pack. Dont looked so shamed," She smiled.showing her many teeth all white and pointed.Wagging her tail in delight.

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Wagging her tail, Sleethran grinned at Ice. "Thankyou. I hope you won't mind if I become a part of that Pack?" she asked.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

"Nah, this pack is open to outsiders," She told her friend "Can you smell something? It smells like burning?"

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Sniffing the air warily, Sleethran smelt the unmistakable odour of a fire. Shaking uncontrollably, she cried "Fire! No! Not again!" as she began to look desperately for ways to escape.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

"Calm down," Ice went to the scared wolf "We need to find out were the fire is coming from hold on I found it. The some is coming from the west so we need go go in the oposite direction,"

but Sleethran has already gone that way "Hey wait up," The wolves ran as fast as they could, thry could hear the fire comign towards them Who could have set this off Ice wondered as she ran panting slightly

Panting, Sleethran halted, as she realised that she had run off. Looking behind her, she saw the other wolves running to catch up.

As they caught up, she hung her head and mumbled "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Ice asked, panting. "I ran away. I'm a coward."

"Don't be stupid. You're nothing of the sort. For you to run that fast from fire, you must have a pretty good reason." Karli said, now placing her opinion in as well. "Yeah, same from me." Sky said, his deep voice a grand contrast to those of the females around him.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

Ice had wondered why they had stopped the fire was growing all around them, brillaint red and yellow colours were seen in the woods, black smoke was rising fast. vast flams were eruptinf every where, She saw a hole in the flames.

"We're going to hav to jump the flames, Will you be okay with this Sleethran?" Ice shouted above the flames "Okay follow me,"

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

"Ice, I'l be fine. I think." Sleethran shouted over the roar of the flames. Steeling her nerves, she jumoed through the rimg of fire, and she instantly felt pain sear along her. Gasping for breath, she twisted and yurned, trying to escape the pain.

Looking behind her, she saw that the others were rolling in the snow. Without a second thought, she threw herself on the ground and did the same. Immediatly she felt the pain lesson, but it was still there ... a dull, throbbing pain now.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

"Is everybody okay?" Ice asked "I think we should RUN." and so they did they ran away from the flams It will be all over thought Ice as she ran hard Well hopefully it will.

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Running hard, for some strange reason, Sleethran was overcome with a tremendous joy. Why am I feeling like this? she thought.

Little did she know, it was because it was what a wolf is meant to do ... run, free and wild.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

Ice stopped suddenly, the sound of the flams had died down slightly or they were very far away btuthen she decided to carry on running, she had catght up with the other wolves and she howled when she was running.

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Joining in, Sleethran howled with all her might. She felt as if her heart would burst [not literally] ... and she realised that what she'd really wanted was the company of wolves, of her own kind, and of the predator.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

Sky alose joined in the howl so did Karli together the wolves ran and ran free as the wind.

Ice felt happy she was not alone anymore she felt home is herself and she had a pack she felt good. She slowed down panting slightly.

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Seeing Ice slow down, Sleethran did also, immediatly becoming wary. Looking around, she saw that there was a cave-like area to their left in the hill-side, amongst the trees, "Ice, shall we stop here for the night?" she asked.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

"Um? What? Oh yer..cave. Sorry yer i think we should we have been wondering for a while,"

She wne tot the cave, and sniffed the air in case there was anybody in there.

"It seams clear," So she went inside.

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Following Ice into the cave, with Sky and Karli right behind her, Sleethran saw that what had seemed like a rather small cave had turned out to be a really large cave on the interior.

"Whoa ... maybe we should just stay here?!" Sleethran exclaimed.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

"You guys stay here I'll go and check it out," She went inside, it smelt damp but no animal smells reached her nose

"Its okay, but perhaps we better just stay near the cave opening just in case you know?"

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

"Yes. OK" Sleethran replied, hearing Sky and Karli echo her words.

Padding towards Ice, Sleethran asked the she-wolf quietly if she could talk to her outside, in private.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

Ice looked at her friend with a worried expresion on her face "Yes of course," She followed the wolf outside, "Whats that matter," She said suddenly

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

"We-ell. I was thinking over what you said about starting a new pack once we arrive at the Mountain. When that does happen, would you like to be the Alpha Femme?" Sleethran asked. Staring at Ice's speechless face, Sleethran felt an irresistable urge to laugh, but with-held it.

"I was just asking, because. to me, it seems like you are already the Alpha, that's all." Sleethran continued. She then waited for a reply.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

Ice wondered, abotuthsi it was an odd question,

"Which rank would you like when we get there?" She asked in case she wanted to be alpha female, she didnt mind what rank it was as long they got there,

"I only act alpha because I know the way to White Mountain, and I want to keep you lot safe," She nodded to the wolves in the cave and to the wolf in front of her.

Silverwolf22 · Moderator

"Oh, I would like to be beta femme, though I dont really mind what rank I get, as long as I am not like flame or something. Ya, who wants to be alpha femme? I know I dont, I dont think I could bear the weight of running a pack, I would probably crack with all the pressure!" Seeing Sleethran and Ice stare at her curiously, she suddenly felt emmbarased. "Sorry, just keep talking." Karli said. She was going to have to learn to keep her big yap shut.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

Ice laughed, a wolf's laugh which sounded more like a gowl,

"Im just trying to keep every one safe, so we can get to White Mountain, in good time. But I dont mind what rank, you have sleethran, or anybody in that case, Like I said im only acting alpha so we get to White mountain," She waited for an answer.

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Ducking her head in embarrassment, Sleethran asked "Would I be able to be Alpha Femme once we have arrived at White Mountain?"

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

"Yes, you can," She looked at Sleethran kindly, "As i say I only acyed alpha female so we can get to White Mountain in one peace. Get me?" she licked sleethran's muzzle

Silverwolf22 · Moderator

"I just know you'll make a good alpha, Sleethran! On what rank I'll be... I dont care! I just dont want to be a flame, of course. Anyways, how long do you think it will take to get there?" Karli said, trembling with excitement as she spoke.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

"Pick what ever you like," Ice told Karlie, "Ummm Im thinking a couple of moons, at the max, were nearly there. I can feel the air getting colder,"

Silverwolf22 · Moderator

Karli though for a moment. "Maybe Beta femme? That way you could be Warrior femme if you want."

OOC: Sorry this is short... I'm suffering from imagination block right now.

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

"Yes ... that would work" Sleethran said. Turning to Ice, she asked "Should we rest, or should we continue?"

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

"I don't know about everybody else, But my paws could do with a rest I don't think I could walk much longer," Ice said "I might be healer or warrior," Ice yawned "Lets not let this cave go to waste lets sleep, and leaving Sleethran outside Ice went inside, she knew that she would follow soon.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

As Ice slpet she dreamt that the pack had reached White Mountain where no other wolves had come, deer and sheep herd were thriving, they could live of these easily. With Ice being warrior femme the pack would never miss a game. She could feel the sun beating down on the wolves at white mountain. Even if it just was a dream Ice felt happy. She smiled in her sleep. As her and her friends howled to the sky and it's sun..

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Dreaming, Sleethran once again encountered the terror of the fire.

Cowering in fear, she scrambled across the bank, trying to get as far away as possible...

Waking, Sleethran realised what it had been. "It was a dream. Just a dream." She muttered to herself.

Slowly becoming aware of the others around her, she made sure to make as little noise as possible, as she went to get a drink from a nearby stream.

"Sleethran? Is that you?" She heard a voice say.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

Sky was in Deep sleep, he was dreaming of Sleethran, both of them running together, at white mountain, he smiled in his dream. but then was awakened by another voice. Ice too was awakened...

Tibby · Flame Wolf

"Mother, what's that smell?" A small brownish pup asked. His voice cut clean through the air, and Zia couldn't help but feeling slightly irritated. "Core, be quiet. Other wolves are around. We don't know if they are bad wolves. We could get hurt," she replied, quietly. Even though practically silent, Zia couldn't help but feel that Core's whisper had alerted the wolves.

They were both timber wolves. They both had the same glassy brown eyes, and great bushes of fur. The only tihng that made them different, was there colors. While Zia was mainly gold with brown splotches, Core had mostly brown fur with hints of black. And while Zia's paws and face charred into black, Core's little paws and face faded into gold. They were deffinatly a sight.

Around six months ago, the two had escaped from Corruption, Zia's evil mate. The brute had planned to kill Zia and take the newborn pups as his own. From there, he said that the pups would make his own followers. But Zia had escaped with Core in her jaws. Eblim, her daughter had been left with Corruption. Core and Zia longed to see Eblim, but she was in Corruption's clutches now.

They were down-wind of the wolves. Zia could scent 3 or 4 wolves. All smelled of no evil. "They smell safe," she told her son. With this confirmation, the two wolves padded out of the brush, keeping heads low and eyes on the wovles. There was four wolves. 1 was a male, the rest were females. "Hi!" Core shouted. Zia rolled her eyes. She kept Core close to her so he wouldn't run off.

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Lifting her head, Sleethran saw a female wolf with a cub. Moving forwards warily, Sleethran answered the pups enthusiastic greeting. "Hello little one."

Looking towards the cubs mother, she asked "Who may you be? I wish you no harm, and niether do the other's that are inside the cave. We are travellers, and if this be your cave, please forgive us for the intrusion." Little did she know that the two were from another place.

Icewolf2000 · Omega Wolf

Ice saw the new wolves. A female and cub. She gave them a smile yawned and layed her head down. She hated being awakened.

Sky to was awake. But he didn't mind. he said "HEllo I am Sky,"

Silverwolf22 · Moderator

Karli jumped when she saw the new wolves, for she loved meeting new people. "Hi, I am Karli. Who are you? You look like you are alone." She stopped herself from talking further, because she didnt want to seem to talkative, even though she was very talkative. She smiled a huge smile at Zia and Core.

Tibby · Flame Wolf

"No," the new fae answered, returning the friendly smile they all gave her and Core. "It's not our den. We live... farther away." A hint of regret sounded in her soft voice, as much as she tried to hide it. "My name is Zia, and this is my son: Core," she said, glancing warningly at Core.

But he took the glance no heed. "What are your names? Do you live here? How big is the cave? Is it warm? Can we stay the night in it? Do you want to play something?" Once he got through his blob of questions, he snapped his maw shut as Zia nudged him.

"I'm sorry. He gets over-excited. So, may we stay here tonight. We promise, we'll be gone the next morning," she said, eyes glowing.

Karli answered first: "Sure! Why not? What do you guys say?"

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Answering softly, Sleethran said "Sure. Any company is welcome, I think."

Turning to the pup, she said "My name is Sleethran. I live ... I live where I go. I currently have no home." Dropping her head as she remembered the occurances that had happened, she continued. "The cave is big, warm, and yes, you can stay the night in it."

Glancing over at Zia to see if she didn't want her son to have any type of relationship with her son, Sleethran saw nothing but gratitude. Nodding her head, Sleethran answered Core's last question. "I'll play a game with you. What type?" Remembering herself that she was only 6 months, Sleethran told him "I know of a few games ... but they involve being a little way from your Mother."

OOC = Tibby, I'm sorry if it seems that I'm god-moding your wolves

Tibby · Flame Wolf

OOC- It doesn't matter to me. xD

"Ooo! Mother! Mommy, can I play? Pwease???" Core turned to his mother, a pleading glow in his deep brown eyes. Zia smiled warmly at the new wolves before settling herself outside the den. "Tomorrow perhaps..." she whispered, falling to sleep. Core had no choice but to do the same. He curled up in a ball, pressed tightly against his mother's warm fur.

Psycho Wolf · Co Administrator

Watching the two new wolves as they slept, Sleethran thought of her parents.

Why did they have to die in the fire? What did I do to deserve my entire family and Birth Pack to perish ... and to live myself? she thought bitterly.

Feeling restless, she left the cave, and, looking around, decided that she would go and hunt.

Padding quietly throught the forest area, she noticed that there were many saplings. Hmm ... either there was recently a fire, or the trees here are different to those that I know.

Suddenly, she stopped. Sniffing cautiously, she noticed the smell of a deer herd. At last! she thought. Crouching down, she began to slink towards her prey, taking care to make sure that the wind was not blowing her scent towards the deer.

Looking around, she pinpointed the deer that was weakest. An old doe ... and grazing contentedly away from the herd!

Twitching her ears, Sleethran felt all of her senses engge in the hunt. Creeping forwards, she edged closer and closer to the unknowing deer.

Finally, she sprang, locking her powerful jaws around the beast's neck. Clamping down, she shivered with joy as she tasted the hot sweet flavour of a new kill's life source. Shaking her head to make sure that it truely was dead, she felt immensly proud of herself. Oh. Cr*p. How am I meant to get it back to the others? she thought ... she hadn't thought about this part of her hunt.

Stepping backwards, she howled. A cold and triumphant sound emerged from her mouth. Basically, she was letting the others know that there ws fresh kill.

Now, stepping forwards again, she gripped the deer in her mouth, and began to pull it back towards the cave.

After many minutes of struggling, she arrived at the cave, the dead doe with her. Padding inside, she saw that some of the others were awake.

Speaking softly, so as not to wake Zia and Core, Sleethran said "If you are hungry, there is kill outside." Turning her back, she returned to the carcass, and waited for the others to join her.
