Sandstorm stopped at his alpha's orders. First Tempest tells us to keep battling then she tells us to retreat? Well I better go see what it is. Retreating from the clearing he ran toward his alpha, what was that? He lifted his nose to the air, dog. He ran toward the camp to fast he didn't even bother to find out what the other scent was. Finnaly, through the trees he could see his home. Everything seemed to be going fine, no signs of dogs, nothing. He walked through the whole camp but couldn't see anything out of order. Then his eyes spotted though the trees two shapes, dogs! He ran over to Tempest.

"Tempest, Tempest! The dogs are comming into the valley from over there!" he showed her the two shadows now darting away from view. As he waited for an order he paced back and forth, the dogs found his home, they were going to have to fight or flee now, but he would never flee! He walked over to Ash's cave, maybe at least I can get this scratch better. He thought as he entered the healing wolf's cave.

Shadow Flame trotted out of her den, today was the day they were going to attack. Looking around, she sent some scouts out before going to take a drink. Soon, Night Hawk came with rabbits and she dug into one while listening to his report. Before she could say anything, a howl echoed and then another. She saw Night Hawk take off in his usual attack before she got up letting out a howl.

Night Hawk returned shortly with a wolf in tow. She growled at the wolf before hearing him out. "Hmm. . .we could do that." She said before Night Hawk took off with Niko. Walking over to the guards, she nudged the wolf before going to see what they had lost. Three scouts dead but no wolves. She grunted annoyed, they had to attack them shortly. Going back to camp, she collected some warriors before going after Night and Niko's trail.

Dallas was engaged in a fight with a female when the cowardly Eagle stopped them. He growled at the peaceful leader, but leapt away when he heard his alphas panicked cry. He gasped slightly, and began dashing after his alpha, as they headed straight for their camp. Putting as much strength and speed into his legs as he could, he took the scent and followed it. When they reached the camp he charged straight ahead, his eyes sweeping over the camp. The dog was not seen, but the scent continued. A trail of broken ferns, bruised leaves, and bits of blood left camp. Dallas realized the dog had taken some wolf.

"Alpha! They captured a wolf! It might lead back to their camp! Permission to follow the scent?" He yelled, still racing towards the edge of camp where the trail started. He knew he could probably find their camp easily, or at least one dog with a wolf.

Ash looked at the brown wolf limping into her healing den with a red forhead and scratched lets.

"What do you want," she said getting up and grabing her healing bag. Sandstorm told her about the badger and the fight and when he thought he was charging at a wolf it moved and he ran into a tree. Ash got out her herbs and pressed them against the scratch and splashed cold water on his head to keep it from throbing.

"There we go, feel better?" The white and black wolf asked. Sandstorm said he was feeling much better and walked out of the cave. When he was gone Ash sat down and thought, the dogs know our camp, that means there will be battles and battles means wounds and everyone knows that wounds mean more work for me. She got up and walked out the door to go pick more mint and mushrooms.

Dallas did not wait for her permission, but raced ahead, following the trail. As he ran, something smashed into his side, knocking him down. It felt like a large needle had been jammed into him, and he yelped, feeling the growing pain. A human ran past, something long and skinny in their hands. But they tripped and fell, breathing heavily. Blood was seeping from wounds on his body, and he glanced at Dallas.

"Sorry." He whispered, trying to crawl forward. Dallas rose, limping because of the pain. The boy rolled to the side, the crashed down. He fell into a deep trench, and lay there. Dallas wasn't sure what to do, so he left and hurried back to camp. Limping along, he wondered what had hit him, but it hurt a lot. Hopefully he didn't run into a dog, because he couldn't fight very well. Entering camp, he limped over to Ash's den, and stepped in.

"My leg got hurt, it has something in it. Can you help?" He said from clenched teeth. The pain was rising, and his eyes were practically blazing.

Yasha's ears shot up as she heard the howl she saw Eagle bolt away and she followed him she knew he would stop the fighting but she was worried about him more than that she stopped on a ridge looking for Eagle scanning the ground there was Tempest and two other wolves running back to there camp she could smell the dogs and wolves blood she quickly jumped down off the ridge and started walking to the dog camp were her alpha must be.Yasha knew that with her being a wolf and not really ever talking with a lot of the dogs in the dog pack she would need to be careful and show she meant no harm when a dog saw her she would need to say it quickly or she would be attacked and yes she knew how to fight but she wouldnt she refused unless Eagle was in trouble.

"Lay down" Ash told Dallas and he lay down on the floor, his chest heaving and eyes closed. After Dallas had told Ash what had happened Ash got to work, she knew how much one of those long things could hurt and it hould be bad. Ash leaned over and found the round thingy that it puts into you. She grabed it with her teeth and pulled hard, it came out easily but the hole it made bled a lot. Putting plants onto it she covered the hole with soft bark and wraped it up.

"I did the best I could but you're going to have to stay here for two days and rest, maybe shorter if you don't walk," She helped Dallas get up and he lay back down on a bed of leaves at the back of the den. Looking at the hurt wolf she ran out and found a daisy, picking it up carefully in her mouth she walked back to the den and lay the flower next to Dallas.

Lily circled the dog camp before hearing a wolf jump in wanting peace. Circling around, she picked up his scent but when she got there, he was knocked out. Looking around, she spotted another wolf appear. Circling around, she came up behind the wolf before demanding, "What do you think your doing?" In the strongest voice she could, watching the wolf closely hoping it wouldn't fight her.

Eagle woke up groaning. His eyesight was blurred, and there was a wolf standing next to him. Quickly standing up, he backed away. "You! Who are you! You two knocked me out!" Then he noticed that there was a dog, too, and she seemed to be glaring at the wolf. "Oh." He said quietly, then backed away, staring daggers at the wolf who had knocked him out. Eagle didn't make it that far, for a sharp pain erupted from his head and leg, making him collapse to the ground, shaking. Cursing under his breath, Eagle carefully inspected his leg. It was swollen and had teeth marks in it.

Then he turned his head and looked at his back. It was sore and had scratches. I can't go on like this. Eagle knew he couldn't make it that far, back to his den. "No." he whispered hoarsely and looked at the dog and wolf. Was he supposed to fight them?
