Alligator

He set the prey down and his ears perked up. He saw the group come back. He wondered what happened but stayed quiet. He didnt want to get in trouble. He left to hunt some more in a area he hadnt checked out yet.

Night

He heard a howl and then it cut off. He growled and ran towards it. He stopped when he knew he was close. He peeked out/ and saw a wolf that he hadnt seen before. He went down wind from him and started to close in.

Bandit closed his eyes envisioning Tulip and remembering the scent he breathed in. He opened his eyes once again and lifted his head, he stood up and turned to face a smooth sun-baked stone. He put his front right paw on it. He ended up hitting the stone harder than he intended and winced at the pain. Bandit would usually just take the pain but today was different.

Sky looked at Sabre. "I'm sorry it didnt help much" she said as she say down. She shuffled her paws nervously as she watched the male. The light gray female glanced around before she spoke again. "Do you have a den you can sleep in by yourself" she asked. "If it's hard to tell where the other elders are, it might help?"

Sabre lay down and positioned his head in the direction of Sky. "I usually just sleep in the spot I was laying in earlier," he spoke. Sabre put his paw in the water and moved it around making slush noises. Taking his paw out of the water but then placing it on top of the water, he activated his powers and it allowed him to step, or lay, on water. When he moved his paw around now small ripples could be seen but no sound.

Luna gave a low growl, not like earlier before she glared at Cosmo. "NEVER use your powers on me again" she said sternly. "Do I make myself clear." While it was good to have him use them in certain situations, this was NOT one. Luna was on the verge of needing to either kill, or exile pack members for being traitors, and with the human threat coming, she needed all her pack members. She couldnt trust Tulip anymore, that was clear. "Get to camp NOW before I start ripping off tails! Drag her if you have to."

Sky watched Sabre play with the water a bit before she replied. "I can help make you a den if you want" she said, before she added in thought *Or you could stay in mine.* She knew he wouldnt be able to hear her thoughts as she flicked her ear. "I wish I could play with water like that" she said.

Addy snarled slightly listening to the white wolf. "Without a fight?" She whispered to herself. But there are too many pack wolves to fight all of them and win. Ugh... She thought to herself slowly walking backward back into the forest. She turned as she headed toward the smell of a deer nearby. In the distance, she heard something about not using powers. Powers? What powers? She wondered.

Sabre smiled, "That would be nice of you, sky" he softly said. Sabre chuckled as Sky wished she could play with water as he did. "Well, sometimes it's not that fun, but one cool thing about this power is that I can walk on raindrops," he happily said, "but I only ever used it once before because it uses a lot of energy."

Arctic was thankful to Cosmo for the help calming down. Keeping her head low, she glanced at Tulip before following Luna. The drama had just started. She'd have to keep a cool head to be able to avoid making things worse. She sighed tired from the stress and panic.
