Anya breathed out a sigh as she finally smelled Shadow. Once it had started to rain Anya got extra worried and was about to go look for him, although that probably wouldnt of helped anyways. Wait, another sent? Anya thought as a weird female sent drifted into her nose. Finally though she saw Shadow and, another wolf? running into the den. Anya nervously smiled at the female. Anya then breathed in Alha's sent. Weird, Anya thought as she pulled away.

"Dog?!"Anya gasped. "Thats why you smell weird!" She chuckled in relif. Anya honestly thought she might be sick. "Ive never met a dog before!" Anya smiled, again breathing in her sent.

"And no, flame didnt i did, all by my self," Anya said as she sat up taller. It was basically me, Anya thought, still smiling big. "So, how did you guys meet anyway?"

"Incident?" Walnut asked. "And yes you will have to explain that to me sometime." Just then Walnut felt a rain drop hit his back. He quickly jumped up and looked at frost with a paniced look. Walnut nodded and quickly followed Frost. Walnut stoped just a second to admire the shoreline before catching up with frost and following him again. Soon walnut faced a old looking tree with a space open at the bottom. Walnut smiled as Frost pulled out a bunny. He then sat down in the small den, looking at the bunny hungrily.

Killjoy was laying in the shade of two oak trees twisted. The smell of rain was fresh on his tongue. It was refreshing after the long hot summer. He smiled happily apon seeing his pack laying in the sun.

He looked up at the quickly greying sky.

Should I? Yeah. I don't mind the rain.

He stood up, and shook the orange leaves off his pelt.

"Illusion." He called. It echoed around the cave walls. Illusion popped his head out from behind a rock.

"Yeah?" He asked, his voice deep.

"We are going to see Night. I have a question." He watched Illusions tail wag.

"Okay."

"Can I come?" Killjoy heard Breckens soft, and very accented voice.

"Nah. The two of us should be good, but thank you!"

Killjoy and Illusion turned around, and began walking down the hill towards the hunting grounds. Killjoy was careful to listen for hunters. It was that time of the year. Although, they would be dumb to hunt while it was raining.

They walked into the oak forest right next to the grounds. The leaves crunched under their paws, leaving the birds scattering. Nearby as small lizard scuttled up a tree.

Killjoy loved the oak forest. From the orange that was already on the bark, to the leaves that were morphing from a lovely green to a better orange, to then a gorgeous red. The long grass was now yellow, and it too crunched under paw. He scanned ahead, looking, and hearing for any danger.

A doe with her fawn dashed in front of them, Illusion lunging forwards, before coming back beside Killjoy.

~~~

It was a bit later of walking on the well worn path that Killjoy came to a sudden stop. He turned around at the sound of a twig snapping. He looked over at Illusion, who too had heard it.

"What was that?" Killjoy whispered to him.

"Shut up. I'm listening." Illusion growled back. Killjoy rolled his eyes. A bit later Illusion finally spoke.

"I think that we are good, just be quiet walking." Killjoy nodded. If it was one hunter, then they should be fine. If there was a pack of more then three, then they'd be dead.

Killjoy let out his breath. He hadn't realize that he'd been holding it. He gulped in air as they walked on.

They soon picked up a trot that soon turned into a nice easy lope. Killjoy had the lead over Illusion, as the path was getting narrow.

~~~

A bit more had passed. They were still in the oak forest. They both slowed down to a walk, and then a halt.

"Are you sure that we are going the right way?" Illusion asked, looking around.

"No." Killjoy said, looking up at the dark sky. He turned around, be began trotting back. "We must have missed a turn." He was sniffing the ground when a large crackle made him jump. His fur stood up.

"Was that lightning, or a gun shot?" Killjoy looked at Illusion, who was just as ruffled.

"Lightning." He responded, looking behind him. Killjoy nodded, and took a turn that was hidden behind a bush.

"I think that this is the one."

"Are you sure?"
"No."

"Okay." Illusion shrugged.

They trotted down the new path. It was much more worn then the last one. A small drop of rain landed on Killjoys nose. He sighed.

Just then it started to down pour. Killoy stopped, completely drenched. His ears were back, and he had a annoyed look on his face.

Killjoy huffed.

"C'mon." They loped through the thick rain, their paw prints quickly getting filled with the water as they left them, and the path ahead getting slick.

As they loped on, Killjoy felt his front paw slip, as he felt his body hit the ground, and skid forwards. Illusion stopped, and laughed at him. Killjoy glared at him, and stood up. He shook his wet body off. He saw his skid marks, and couldn't help but to laugh as well.

~~~

Finally they got to the Night's borders. Killjoy felt like a drowned rat, and was pretty sure he looked like one as well. They crossed the lines, and began to walk towards the camp.

...

Sky had heard the rain coming, and ducked into a thick bush. At least she thought it was one. Wasn't all too sure. She just knew that it was dry. There she laid, her head resting on the ground, just listening to the rain pitter pattering on the ground. Nothing better to fall asleep to. Her eyes started to drift close, and soon she was dreaming.

Anya was glad to hear Flames voice. She wasnt exactly scared or anything without Flame but she did feel more confortable so Anya realaxed as she listened to Alha's story. After she finished stretched saying, "Im sorry about your mother but-" Anya paused as she glanced at Shadow to see he was sleeping. "But, i didnt know Shadow could be so- nice....Did he like your mother?" Anya asked. She knew she was acting like a pup who loved stories but Anya didnt care, she was so curious. Anya then nervously smiled realising how weird the question sounded. "I-i mean ummm...."

Anya held in a giggle. "I dont know about that but, i love your stories!" Just then Anya felt a bit dizzy. She layed down but it just made her stomach hurt. She then sat up again and nervously glanced at flame and Alha, then looked at Shadow, wishing he was awake. He was the only one who knew about her, err, thing. Anya then nervously smiled at flame and Alha and said, "I-im going to go, umm outside...." Anya hopped Shadow would wake up and come find her, but all she could do was try to get through it by herself. Anya then went to the cave entrance, hesitating as she watched the rain come down. Should she go out?

Killjoy was in lead when they entered Night's camp. Both were soaked to the bone, and the rain was still going strong.

Killjoy looked around camp for any wolf that he knew. He was looking for Night mostly, but decided to go and say hi to River.

He stepped forwards, towards her. Illusion stood there, looking around him. It was so pretty here.

"Hey River! Long time, no see." Killjoy, said sitting down next to her. "How have you been?"

Illusion spotted Night, and trotted over to him.

"Hello Night. Killjoy had a question to ask."His long pelt was leaving behind puddles, but you couldn't really tell from all water already there.

Illusion saw a small wolf creeping up behind Night. He met his eye, and then looked away.

...

~~~

...

Sundown saw two large wolves enter camp. His fur bristled, and he felt threated. Why, he wasn't sure.

He watched as the mutli-colored wolf coming towards where he was sitting. He felt panic flare in his chest. He felt much better when he stopped by Night, letting out his breath.

He slunk forwards, behind Night. He wasn't all too sure who the wolves were, but he wanted to know. He wanted to know so badly. He watched the other one sit down by River. Did he know her?

He settled behind Night, submissive to the newcomers, as well as his alpha.
