Dinae nodded. "Good. My name is Dinae. Ok, where did you come from?"

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 5:22 pm

Lunar kept her head low as she continued walking, trying to retrace her steps back toward the den. Little did she know, she was walking in the wrong direction. There was a rustling in a near by bush, making a low, defensive growl escape the young wolf's jaws. Lunar's ears perked forward, listening closely as she kept her eyes on the bush. There was a scent floating through the air of a wolf that she wasn't familiar with, so she was on edge. Something in the bush rustled again, making her midnight black fur stand on end. Another low growl escaped Lunar's jaws as she bared her fangs. Taking a step closer to the bush, a small object flew from the bush and took to the sky. The she-wolf immediately relaxed, realizing it was only a bird. Stop being foolish Lunar. You're fine. She thought to herself. Lunar sighed and started heading off in the direction she believed the den was, again.
A ravenous snarl engulfed all Lunar could hear. The next thing she knew, she was slammed into the ground with sharp claws holding her down. A helpless yelp escaped the female's jaws as the pain struck her left side, the side of her that had hit the ground. Glancing up, she saw a shadow of a wolf with bright greedy eyes staring down at her and the sharp, blood tipped fangs of a killer.

Stella sighed "I don't know I just kinda walk and see where I end up." Then she heard a shriek come from another wolf and looked at Dinae with only one rare emotion in her eyes, fear. Stella asked him "What was that?" she came here and it already sounded like a torturous place "How convinient." Stella thought she looked down snd realized she was now shaking. She never liked to display her fear but she guessed this was one of these weird times where it really showed.

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 7:15 pm

Lunar's eyes widened as terror flooded her emotions. The large stranger growled low as his fangs became more visible. She must've hit her head pretty hard when she had fallen, because the she-wolf was having difficulty seeing clearly, and didn't even notice the male moving to bite her neck until she felt the sharp pain of his teeth digging into her flesh. Lunar yelped another cry of pain as she struggled to get free of the stranger's powerful embrace. She felt the heat of blood leaking out from her neck now, sending panic throughout her body. The fact that she couldn't breath didn't even cross the she-wolf's mind. Finally, she got one good hit on the stranger, kicking him hard in the soft spot of his belly, causing him to release her from his jaws. Lunar scrambled away from the male, her eyes wide with shock as she came to her feet, trying to escape. Though, she wasn't fast enough. The male quickly regained his composure and, with a murderous look in his eyes, he stormed after the much smaller female, smacking her down to the ground once more. Lunar yelped, feeling the pain that rocketed through her hind legs and back. Instinctively, she rolled onto her back, fangs bared, and snapped at the male's muzzle. Luck wasn't on her side though, only having caught a bit of the skin. It didn't even leave a mark on him. The stranger wasn't phased whatsoever as he snapped his jaws down on her head, an atempt to crush the much smaller wolf's skull. Lunar, now defenseless, let out a loud shriek, yelping and whimpering with defeat. She couldn't get away.

As Dinae listened in horror, he lanched toward the sounds. "LUNAR!!!!!" He was flying across the ground, going as fast as he could. "LUNAR!!!" He finally had her in his sights. He saw her get thrown to the ground and then the other wolf clamping his jaws around her head. "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" He ran at the wolf and hit him full on, knocking him off of Lunar. Dinae let out a deep, defensive growl, standing in front of Lunar. He lowered himself into a fighting postion, hackles raised.

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:30 pm

The male stumbled away, then looked down at Dinae and snarled, hackles raised and bloody fangs bared. His deep blue eyes glared down at Dinae with a certain distaste. Though, he didn't make any move to attack. Lunar had fallen silent, barely conscious.

Echo Dreamer Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:34 pm

Dinae stared directly into the eyes of this wolf. This only cause Dinae's growl to grow deeper. "Leave." he rumbled through his growl.

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:41 pm

Something about Dinae's eyes reminded the male about his family. He flicked his tail with obvious irritation. It would've been so easy to just kill that female, if only Dinae hadn't got in the way. Wouldn't be too difficult to kill the male though, would it? The shadow colored wolf could clearly see that this other male already had an injury. But who's to say there wasn't a much bigger pack headed on their way to these two's aid. Then he would have been way outnumbered. Was it worth the risk? Cacui, the large, dark grey male, simply let out a low growl in return as a smirk played across his face. "Why should I?"

Echo Dreamer Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:47 pm

Dinae narrowed his eyes. "Try me."

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:54 pm

Cacui flicked his tail angrily once more, hating when someone would challenge him like this. A snarl escaped his jaws as he leaped at Dinae, tackling him to the ground and forcefully pinning him there. Lunar's eyes opened fully, the first thing her seeing being Cacui attacking Dinae. She growled low and worked to get up, though the buzzing in her ears and the lightheaded feeling weren't helping her out all that much.

Echo Dreamer Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:06 pm

Dinae tried to fight free, but with a combination of his injury plus this wolf's strength, it was no use. Dinae closed his eyes and turned his head.

Cheyenne had seen enough. She wasn't going to get into this confrontation, thinking that this golden wolf had it covered, but apparently she was wrong. She jumped out and knocked the wolf off of Dinae. Standing tall, eyes narrowed, she said, "I think it's time for you to leave now."

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:09 pm

Cacui was about to close his jaws down around Dinae's throat when Cheyenne knocked him off. So there were wolves coming to help! How many more would come? He couldn't take that risk. Cacui snarled and backed up, before turning away and retreating to the shadows.

Stella*_* Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:11 pm

Stella watched as the wolves attacked eachother and she saw the wolf Lunar injured on the ground. Assuming that was the one who cried out she began to make an attept to drag her towards some cover in the bushes.

Echo Dreamer Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:20 pm

Dinae got up as he watched the wolf retreat. He then turned to the wolf who had helped him, "Thank you. Is there anyway I could repay you?"

Cheyenne smiled. "Hey, it's no problem. And there is..." she started to say, but then stopped. "Well... nevermind. It's nothing. Although you might want to go tend to your friend over there." she said, indicating Lunar.

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:30 pm

Lunar winced when Stella had touched her. Though, she didn't fight it. She was exhausted and in pain, so she didn't really want to move at all.

Echo Dreamer Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:36 pm

Dinae smiled and turned to help Lunar, but saw the other newcomer dragging her off. He immediately rushed over to the two, causing the newcomer to shrink back. Dinae put on a deadly glare saying, "Don't you DARE touch her."

Cheyenne rushed over as well, but in defence of the newcomer. "Hey, she was only trying to help." she said as calmly as possible. She got in front of him and looked him in his eyes before saying so.

Dinae's glare slowly relaxed into a soft stare. "Ok." is all he said before turning back to Lunar and helping her the best he could.

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:48 pm

Lunar sat up on her own, her ears flattened to her head. She didn't want help. It was embarrassing, being harmed like this. She hated to feel weak and helpless, or to even look like she was helpless. Lunar looked at the ground, trying to avoid their eyes.

Echo Dreamer Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:53 pm

"Lunar, are you ok? Some of those wounds look pretty bad..." Dinae said as he started reaching up with his injured paw to move some of her fur so he could see better.

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:59 pm

Lunar winced and shied away from Dinae's touch. "I'm fine," she muttered.

Echo Dreamer Wed Jan 09, 2013 10:03 pm

Dinae frowned. "No you're not."

Cheyenne nodded, looking at the damage. "Unfortunately, I am going to have to agree with him. Do y'all have a healer here?"

**Lunar** Wed Jan 09, 2013 10:06 pm

"I'm a healer," Lunar muttered tiredly, not wanting to move. She could feel the damage that had been done to her neck and head, and could feel the aches and pains throughout her body and knew she was going to need to help herself. But she just didn't feel up to it right now..

Me Thu Jan 10, 2013 8:10 pm

Avo had fallen asleep. He hadn't slept at all when he was underground, fearing that if he stayed in one place to long the tunnel would collapse and kill him.

Stella*_* Thu Jan 10, 2013 8:22 pm

Stella almost fell backwards when Dinae ran into her face. She shrunk for a second and then defended herself "You know if those wolves would've gotten past you and Lunar was in the bushes where I was going they might not find her, you know just a better chance of surviving." Stella said this simply she was upset that he thought she would do something like that even though she thought people would do stuff like this to her everyday. In her defense Stella was a pup there wasn't much of a chance she'd pull it off.

Echo Dreamer Fri Jan 11, 2013 7:37 pm

Dinae heard the stranger. He stopped what he was doing for a second and thought. "Thank you. I shouldn't have gotten on to you like that. I'm sorry. I just wasn't sure of your intentions." he said finally.

Cheyenne widened her eyes a bit. "Well... That could be a slight problem. Is there anyone else here who knows enough to help you?"

**Lunar** Fri Jan 11, 2013 7:50 pm

Lunar looked at Cheyenne oddly, not quite sure who she was. The female sat up a little straighter, even though it hurt to do so. She was offended. "I am a healer. What business would I have with healing others, if I can't even take care of myself?" She forced herself to her paws, standing up now. The determined female didn't want to seem weak.
