Inferno's mother and father sat around her, and they started howling at the moon above Dust's unmoving body, which was bathing his body in moonlight. Inferno threw her head back and howled. The rest of the pack howled, forming a somber song echoing through the forest mountains. The song of the pack died down, then her father, the Alpha of the pack, stepped foward at Dust's head and said the following: "We will miss you Dust, you were a wonderful Son and a honorable packmate. May you find good hunting, swift running, and shealter where you sleep." Inferno bowed her head, and startled as she scented a couple of new smells. She turned and saw he mother with two pups, on black and white and the other a dusty brown, just like Dust.

"These are our packs new pups." Shadow said, nuzzling them forward. They squeaked, then tumbled foward, playing around Inferno's paws. "Their names are Sand and Cloud." Shadow looked at her daughter. "We're not sending them on their Wander, like we did with you and Dust. It was wrong."

Inferno's mother shuffled her paws on the ground. "We...we were wondering if you were going to stay with us. Smoke told us that you were hesitant, but I would like it if Sand and Cloud had a big sister. You and Smoke are all the siblings they have now that Dust and Sparrow are gone." Inferno's eyes clouded as she thought about her oldest sister who had died shealtering her and her brothers from a group of hawks. The wounds had gotten infected, and dispite the Pack treating her wounds with herbs, she had died days later.

Inferno sat silently for a while, thinking. A fleeting thought of Alone crossed her mind, as well as many feelings she had no idea what they were, but Inferno pushed them down. Family comes first. The Pack comes first.

Inferno raised her ead and headed slowly. "I will stay for a while. I don't know if I want to stay forever... but I'll stay for at least a couple moons."

alone walks around before sighing and hearing his mom and dad screaming for help alone trys to shut it down before four wolves come from the top of the roof and said " welll look at we have a loner" second wolf said " yeah the one that watches his mom and dad die in front of him" third one said " i can't wait to rip him to pieces " alone growls and said " you shouldn't be talking about this i would have already attack you by now"

Inferno and her family sat around Dust's body till dawn, then said their final farewells. Shadow took her pups down into the den to sleep while Phantom, Smoke, and Inferno picked up Dust and carried him out of camp. Not seeing or smelling any new scents of Alone, Inferno felt sligtly worried, but continued on. The three wolves dug a deep hole, and then softly placed Dust in it. Slowly covering up the hole with dirt, Inferno layed a couple of flowers and herbs over the grave, then the three headed back to camp.

third wolf jumps down and said " inferno pretty girl i would love to have her as mine" alone growls and trys biting him second wolf said " don't worry snake you will have here after we get rid of this guy" first wolf said " to bad alone i can't wait to eat you " then they attacked being him down and third one had alone neck second one on his back and first one bitting his legs alone whines and trys to throw them off

Once again passing trough the entrance to the camp, Inferno didn't scent or see Alone again. This worried her. Smoke nudged her forward. "You okay sis?"

"Yeah...I'm just worried about Alone. He hasn't been around all night."

Smoke shrugged. "He'll be fine. A Jaguar? He's strong and clever."

Phantom nodded. "Honestly? He would be a good packmate. You two seem rather close. Have you-" Inferno put her tail over her ftahers mouth. "Do not finish that sentance, please." the three walked into the den, and then fell asleep in a pile, Phantom and Smoke around Shadow and the pups and Inferno close to the exit tunnel to the den. Looking back at it, Inferno should have stayed further back in the den. maybe then she wouldn't have been taken.

alone got away from them and ran the three wolf disappeared and alone breaths heavily before lowing his head and walks throught town towards dens and said " help someone" as he falls down he was stronger then he thinks with only one animal but three was to much

Inferno woke up to a dragging motion. She jerked up, and saw another wolf, a yellowish tan color, was dragging her though the woods. The wolf looked down and her eyes widened seeing Inferno awake. Inferno shook her off and then pinned her down. "What are you doing." She growled, glaring at the new wolf. The wolf whimpered, twisting around under Inferno's grip. "Please, I just wanted to talk. Wolves had chased my pack away from our territory, and had injured many of our pack. Your pack are known to be healers and fighters both, so could you please help us..." The wolf said, going limp.

Inferno released the wolf, and asked her for her name.

"Ray." The wolf said.

"alright Ray, if you want our help, you'll need to come back and explain it to my pack."

alone started making noices noice to call animals for help or hurt alone was about to give up but he had to be there for inferno alone didn't know where he was and what he was going to do but he keeps making noice until one of his kind showed up and said " wow you hurt" alone growls and said " who are you" the female said " snow nice to meet you "

Inferno led Ray into the camp, glad to see that none of her family were awake. "Stay here." Infenro instructed Ray, before slipping into the den to wake her family. After waking her family, she led them outside to the wolf. "Take it from the top, and tell them everything you told me." Inferno said, sitting next to Ray.

Alone growls and she helps him up and said "where are you going " alone said " take me to the Edge of the forest where inferno could find me " snow nods and helps him towards that spot and lays him down and said " I don't see anyone around you will bleed out " alone sighed and said " I know just need to see her one more time " snow said " I'll stop the bleeding "as she ran to get a leaf then came back and put it on his neck " alone crys in pain and said " that hurts can you be more careful " snow said " don't worry it would only hurt for a while " alone rolls his eyes
