Samurai looked as Accilia she hung onto its chest and growled hanging for dear life.Her legs kept getting lift off the ground,if she let go she would get trampled.<br /> <br />

Lacey huffed as she was pulled down. "I can take care of myself fine." She muttered under her breath, glad no one was close enough to hear. She walked a ways from the other wolves and sat alone by herself. I'm not that small am I? She questioned herself. She knew she was young and still small, but she didn't think she was that small to be worried over. She stared out as Samurai was trying to tackle the elk.<br /> <br /> Kalona walked over by Lacey. "Hey none of us want you getting hurt okay? It's just to take precautions." He told her. He licked her ear then ran after Samurai to help him, sensing Lacey's need to be alone.<br /> <br /> Lacey watched as Kalona went to help bring down the elk. She looked at the other wolves, wondering why they took Kalona's side of things. She turned her head back to the elk herd running from Samurai, Accilia and Kalona.<br /> <br /> Kalona raced after Samurai. As he got close, he started nipping at the elks heels. It was a little trick his father taught him to get any prey animal distracted. He did this for a while, trying to give Samurai a chance at gripping onto it. After nipping at its heel's, Kalona took off in front of it then waited for it to get closer to him. He then flung himself at the elk's head, hoping to add more weight to bring it down.

Accilia walked to the rock and climbed up it picking up the pup by the scruff pulling her down."Don't rush into things!!!" she yelled mad at the pup.She had a;ready token a liking to her and would have made her heart break if she fell off.She peeked over the rock to be carefully."Okay,guys.There is a passage this way,so come on!" she siad,jumping of the rock and sprinting into the trees.She sniffed at the ground.And then running down on opening where you could see the herd.She didn't think it was a herd.More like a gathering.It seemed as if there were hundreds of them and they would at least catch one.Or else that proved they were really bad hunters.She saw samurai stalking slowly,she followed at her doing the same.Samurai jumped up from the ground and tried to bite it's back leg,but missed.He started to chase after it,he loved to chase things.He jumped for it again.This time he got a little scratch and bite.He couldn't hand on though,he leaped again and landed on his back.Had he really jumped that high.And he looked back and realized there was a rock.He bites into the neck and hangs on this time.

Lacey looked back at the wolves and listened to their concerned voices. "Don't worry I'll be fine." She answered to them. She continued to run ahead. Lacey stopped when she reached a large rock. She smirked at it and began to climb up it. At the top, she could see a whole field beneath her. "Wow look at that herd!" She exclaimed. She was astonished to see so many elk in one place.<br /> <br /> Kalona charged after her and stood at the base of the rock. "Lacey, get down here now!" He shouted at her. Number 2 on his list of annoying things she did, not listen.<br /> <br /> "You've got to come see this!" She kept saying. "It's amazing."<br /> <br /> "Lacey please come down now." He told her. He started to climb up the rock, but thought better and stayed on the ground.

Anastasia chuckled merrily as the young one snapped at Blade. The brute's expression had molted into one of surprise and shock. <br /> <br /> "Oh, well! I'm very sorry miss," Blade muttered, trying to shake the numbing shock still raw on his expression. He turned and growled menacingly at Anastasia but the femme just smirked at him.<br /> <br /> "Hey! Watch your tongue mister! You heard the young one." The white she-wolf said amused, giving a wide smirk at Blade again and causing the male to let his anger rise.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, well...if anyone of you gets killed or needs help, I'm not saving your sorry butts!" The silver he-wolf said with a angry huff as he moodily followed the rest of the 'pack'.<br /> <br /> Anastasia couldn't supress the silly grin on her face so she just tried to distract herself but miserably failed in doing so.<br /> <br /> "Nice one Lacey!" She whispered to the young she-wolf, not exactly sure if she could even have heard her. It didn't matter, Anastasia approved of the new member.<br /> <br /> <i> Another feisty female, my stupid luck!</i> Blade thought to himself bitterly. Soon, his brown eyes showed puzzlement as he watched Accilia behaving in an odd way and going onto the ground. He still stayed mute but his expression was questioning.<br /> <br /> "Um...Accilia, are you all right? Why are you doing that?" The femme asked curiously, a little worry in her words. The answer wasn't even right away as she heard Samurai speak.<br /> <br /> Anastasia lifted her snout into the air and took in a deep breath. Her ehart did a flip as she realized that there was prey nearby.<br /> <br /> "Good smelling," The she-wolf commented to Samurai. Soon she was in hunting mode. Her ears forward and her hazel eyes narrowed. Even though they weren't in eye range of the kill her muscles started to tense.<br /> <br /> Blade had smelled the scent and he gave off a quiet low growl that rumbled through his chest.<br /> <br /> "Some type of hoofed animal, that's for sure," The male said, flicking his tail. He watched as Lacey went off as her brother called after her. What was she doing? A herd of any hoofed animal could easily kill an adult let a lone a young one!<br /> <br /> Anastasia thought the same thing and her voice became firm and nearly commanding.<br /> <br /> "Lacey! Please come back, now!" There was a little worry and fright in her voice for the young she-wolf. Sure she had a good fiery attitude and could clearly probably handle herself but she wasn't experienced or old enough yet to take down a herd which it certainly sounded like there was.<br /> <br /> Blade merely grunted. <br /> <br /> "Yeah missy, you should come back, unless you want to get trampled over! Those animals are dangerous, believe me!" He called out, grumbling near the last few words.

Lacey walked up beside Samurai and sniffed. "I think I might." She said sniffing harder trying to remember the scent. She walked a little further from the other wolves, trying to do some good and help out. If she was going to hunt with them, she had to do good and help out as much as possible.<br /> <br /> Kalona followed Lacey up towards Samurai. He sniffed the air around him and was greeted with a sense of pleasure, knowing that a kill wasn't to far from them. "Lacey don't wander off so far." He warned her. She might be a smart one year old already, but he couldn't stop worrying about her.<br /> <br /> "I'll be fine." She told him, annoyed.

She ran swiftly like when she was a loner hunting for her life.She hadn't run like this in a while and her speed was faster then she thought.She smiled and lifted her head up letting her chest and neck get the wind that was so cooling to her.She was happy she brought up the word 'Pack' Did she really want to be in a pack with them? And to get a rank? It was all so new but the same fimillar.She just smiled and ran letting her head down,how far were the hunting grounds,but then she realized there are a lot of random animals."WAIT!!" she blurted skidding to a stop."We are on the hunting ground!! Haven't you seen all the animals and there scents?" she asked waiting for someone to agree.She fell to the ground slowly for no reason laying the the snow,had she been sick this whole time? She gasped for air and stood up slowly she knew Anastasia would probably ask what's wrong.And will always be the same answer 'I'm fine.' she walked and look for scents of recent animals.<br /> <br /> Samurai watched as she had fallen to the ground.She must have gave her a sickness that he had been dealing with lately.He felt guilty.He swallowed the guilt down and started to look for scents to.He thought he smelt a elk,but he knew there were no elk,but he thought he smelt it and he used to hunt the animal with his old pack. "Hey guys,do you smell a deer..I mean elk?" he asked correcting himself.

"I don't need a babysitter." Lacey snapped at Blade. "I may be young, but I'm not that naive." Lacey looked up at Kalona with a pleading look in her eyes. "It'll be fun." She told him. <br /> <br /> Kalona looked up at the sky thinking then caved in when Lacey wouldn't stop staring at him. "Oh alright I'll go. Someone's got to make sure you don't get into trouble." He said noting Blade's uneasiness to babysitting.<br /> <br /> Lacey smiled as he said he'd go and started bounding away.

Anastasia listened with perked ears. Her expression was blank until Kalona rolled his sister over.<br /> <br /> As Lacey blurted out and called her brother hotheaded, Anastasia couldn't help but let a smile sneak onto her lips. <br /> <br /> "do you want to help hunt too, or are you going to pass?" The white fae asked curiously. She flicked her tail in a gesture to ask Accilia to wait for her. She hadn't hunt in awhile, especially with other wolves.<br /> <br /> When Accilia had said 'pack', the femme could feel a shiver run down her spine and images flash through her mind. It sounded good to her ears. <br /> <br /> Blade only shrugged and looked over to the sky and sighed. He ached to run, this situation was getting uncomfortable and he hated being soft. He even had invited the other brute to join them! Did something posses his mind?<br /> <br /> The silver he-wolf struck his tail out as he heard Kalona's 'issues'. The brute reminded him of himself except he wouldn't attack physically. He'd attack with mockery and words. <br /> <br /> "I can see we'll get along fine," Blade chuckled quietly as he pivoted around and trotted off towards Accilia. His brown eyes went to the small pup. Was the she-pup really going to hut with them? Blade felt uneasy.<br /> <br /> "Hey, um, Accilia. Could you please look over Lacey? I wouldn't really label myself as a very good 'babysitter'," He grumbled, annoyed that he even cared to say that.<br /> <br /> The brute still remembered as Accilia had let the word 'pack' escape her lips. He had felt something near where his heart should be. Was he longing for a pack? Blade decided the opposite.<br /> <br /> The male had noticed Anastasia's own reaction to the word. Her own hazel eyes seemed to go into a smoldering color of mist. He wondered what she was thinking of.<br /> <br /> <i> I guess I just don't want to be part of one,</i> he reassured himself. Deep down, that statement didn't seem true.<br /> <br /> "Hey babydoll! Is the big bro coming?" He asked impatiently. Now all he needed was a nickname for Lacey he thought smugly.
