Mushroom || 7 || Elder || M: Amara, Luna, Kalypso (Referenced), Sirius (Referenced)

The elder grins softly at the young mother. “It was my pleasure. It’s always a delight to spend time with pups, such as yourself.” Mushroom bends down to be at what she thinks is eye level to the pup.

A second later, the old wolf stands and stalks off, but not before nodding to where she believed Luna to be. She wasn’t sure where she was heading, but she ensured that she was within the pack’s camp. Eventually, she laid down in some sort of shade, placing her head on her paws.

The she-wolf’s mind begins to wander back to daydreams of her daughter and mate. She sighs heavily, her milky brown eyes glazed with sorrow. She became oblivious to the wolves shuffling around camp, too deep in thought to notice them. That is, until the camp filled with an odd scent of wolf.

Mushroom’s ears perked up, but her head did not lift. She listened as a wolf - soon identified to be the beta female - confronted a new wolf. This put the elder on edge. What business does this wolf have with our pack?

The dark coated female listens as the two pad off before going back to moping. However, her guard was up and her ears moved at even the slightest sound. Whoever that wolf was, they were not good news.

Czar || 4 || Band || M: Storm, Sirius, Sierra, Band

[Hope this is okay. I tried my best to catch Czar up to present time.]

Czar growled, cursing under his breath as Storm speeded away, Sirius hot on his trail. He notices other band members want to start heading after the runaway as well, but stops them before they do. “Leave him. He is nothing but a waste of time at the moment. Keep hiding our scents, we can’t risk anything.”

The dominant male trudges ahead, grumbling about how horrendously annoying the day had been. Near the camp, he stops, turning to address the group. “From here, we will split up. We cannot risk them finding our camp. In the meantime, take a partner and find a place to stay for a few days. Anyone who encounters Delta should tell her of what conspired. If anyone partners with me, we will be waiting for Sirius to arrive. Do I make myself clear?”

The large male looks among the expressions of his fellow band members, looking for any response. Whether or not any of them had any concerns did not matter to him, as he ignored most of them. “If you have any big concerns, talk to me after you choose a partner.”

Czar pads off a few feet to lay on the cool autumn ground. He proceeds to wait for Sirius, ignoring any partner he may have had. After some time passes, Czar grows impatient and suspicious. Did he get captured, or was something up?

Czar decided that he did not care of what the answer was, and stalked off to find a place to spend the next few nights.

Aether—4—Band—M: Sirius

Aether looked around. Sirius had not returned and he was counting on him being his partner. He had watched his giant little brother chase after the hostage. He paced around and waited long past nightfall for his return. It become obvious that Sirius wasn’t returning. So he left the abandoned campsite towards the stream.

The stream was Aether’s safe spot, where he was the most comfortable and at home. He stared at the cool, flowing stream and the silver delicates that shimmered in the moonlight. He watched them carefully as one swimmer by. It was fat and plump, but also slow—the best type. With a quick plunge, the fish was caught and dead. A delightful taste swelled in his mouth as he gorged himself on its tender meat. After cleaning the bones, he left for a small den he had built for himself. It was beside the stream, but hidden well enough through the thick weaves of brambles. His shorter coat lets him avoid snagging his fur on their thorns. His den was made of sticks and limbs glued together with mud. It was a technique he had learned from the beavers. Although difficult to build, it was worth the time and energy. Grass had grown inside of it and he had brought in fur and feathers to add more comfort. It was cozy and design solely for him and maybe one more.

He decided that in the morning he would find his brother no matter the consequences. And then he fell asleep, it had been quite a busy day.

Midnight stared at Kalypso before being grabbed by the scruff. Grr, i could've easily shown them im not a little pup. At the same time, i am younger then Amara, and im only a fluffy black pup. They wouldn't see no harm in such a little fur ball. She growled quietly. Curse you all!

She got dizzy as Storm ran, seeing the ground approach and then grow farther again. When he put her down, back at the camp she knew instantly he was apart of the pack. She stood and shook herself, furious they thought she was so little and helpless. " Why did you not leave me be? I was perfectly capable of dealing with them, even if your pack wolves. Why couldn't you just leave me there? I could've scared them off. " She rambled, furiously. When she looked back at Storm she saw he was panting and closing his eye's. " See your even weaker then i am! " She snarled, biting his ear.

She turned and stalked off, trying to find her way back to her friends. She spotted Kalypso and Sirius in a den, and she moved out of sight before twisting her ear's and listening. As they started leaving she jumped aside. She followed them carefully. She would show them she wasn't a weakling. She waited until they stopped and pounced onto Sirius back biting his rump. Stupid band wolves. She dug her little teeth deeper. She dug her claw's in to keep herself from falling. That should show them.

He growled at the pup. "I got beat up by lots of wolves rogue pup." He half wanted to bite her when he felt her nips his ear. "Pathetic." He grumbled as she stalked away.

He slowly stood up still with all his scratches and bites stinging. He looked around the camp hoping no one noticed him. He sat down and licked some scratches that were bleeding trying to make them stop.

He scanned the clearing for Larkspur but didn't see her. I hope she's okay. I wonder how Luna is too. I hope none of them are hurt. I wonder how Fang is doing. He padded off to his shady spot to rest and lick his bites and scratches before they got more infected then they were, atleast they felt infected. He couldn't tell whether they were or not, all he could do is hope they weren't.

Midnight crawled up sirius back, biting his scruff before jumping onto Kalypso's back and doing it to her. She jumped off and swatted quickly to show them that she meant business and trotted back to camp. She stumbled and got caught in thorn's for a second then pulled away and trotted back. She saw Amara and her mother and quietly approached. When she was beside them she yipped quietly " Can- can i sleep with you tonight? " She asked sitting down and wagging gently.

Sirius—4—Band—M: Midnight, Kalypso

A familiar tiny black fuzz ball streaked above Sirius and he glanced at the blur. He felt something clumsily land on his back and he twisted his neck around to see what it was. It was the pup who had scratched him earlier. What a peculiar creature, he thought and added, a little feisty, when she bit his rump. The little fangs did nothing against him and it was laughable, but he didn’t dare laugh because he could tell she wasn’t in the mood for such play. She seemed that she wanted to be taken seriously for once. He couldn’t help but think as she clung to him that she was so adorable. To assist her, he stopped moving to minimize the chance of her falling off. She seemed to have taken advantage of this kindness and crawled forward around where his shoulders were and bit his scruff “heartlessly”. To his surprise, she repeated this to the beta female. Then she swiped fiercely which made him smile at her efforts. He watched her as she trotted away with her tail raised high. Pups are always wonderful, he thought, I’d like some one day.

“Funny little thing,” He chuckled. “I wonder what she’s up to.”

Sierra looked back towards her mint and looked back toward where the brown wolf was but noticed, he was gone. Strange... She thought and looked towards the Band wolves and then leaped into the bushes, careful to not rustle anything or break any branches. She turned around to see if the Band noticed her and then ran off in the Pack territory. I'll find that male and where he went. She thought. And I'll also learn if he's a Pack wolf spying...
