Pack Meal

[falcon]

Hunter suddenly jumped from a bush clumsily. He stumbled over to the pack and smiled sheepishly. He sat down beside Teon and waited for perhaps one to talk to him.

[bloodysnow]

Teon acknowledged Hunter's presence with a flick of his tail but he didn't say anything.

[Zhan]

Feather walked over to the group, but waited by Fortuna. In her other pack she'd always get a signal from the Alphas... Expecting the same thing from this pack, Feather curled into a ball, tail only just touching her little black nose.

Zhan gingerly put yarrow on Moon's paws, "That should stop the bleeding, and pain if there is any. It is hopefully, like a regular wound... Should clear up in a few weeks, in the mean time, don't over exert yourself, it will start bleeding again." He grumbled with a wave of his tail. "Now, let us go get some of that elk!"

[Candice]

Hakkaku glanced up from his piece of elk. "Feather, dig in, just grab and chomp." He said jokingly, unknowing of the piece of elk that was stuck in between his fangs.

Cayden looked at the young pup and smile. "It's okay wee lass. How long has it been since ye last ate?" He asked with concern laced in his voice.

[bloodysnow]

Soala thought for a moment. "Umm... about 4 days, I think..." She winced briefly at the memory. Another sound caught her attention and she swivelled her ears towards the older wolf who was tending to a younger wolf's wounds. She looked on with interest. Yarrow stops bleeding? She didn't know what yarrow is, but it might be useful to know that.

Teon finished off his piece of elk and padded over to Zhan. A prickle of concern disturbed him as he observed Moon's injury. He looked up at Zhan. "Is she okay?"

[Zhan]

Zhan nodded, "She should be... but I cannot be too sure, from what I hear the Creature sounds like a demon of some sort." He said with a slight shrug.

Feather giggled and wagged her tail gratefully. She took a spot near the elk's massive head and began to nibble at it, it felt awkward for her to be eating in the presence of other wolves.

[bloodysnow]

"Oh..." Teon shrugged as well, trying to show indifference, but his gaze was occasionally drawn to Moon's injuries.

[Candice]

Cayden looked at the pup, shock filling his eyes. "Well, here we'll be sure ye'd be getting yer fill of the food." He stated, silently making it his mission to make sure that pups like Soala don't go hungry.


Hakkaku glanced up from the piece of meat that he was chewing on seeing that Zhan, Moon, and Teon making their way back. He loudly cleared his throat, gaining the attention of the wolves. "Now, since the ones," he said nodding towards the three, " have returned, we have to discuss this manner of creature. It's completely obvious that it is a foe, since it has attacked one of our. We need to gather a hunting party. I want all the males to take rank in it, and the females, if they have battling backgrounds to join too. Though we do need a volunteer to stay with Soala, since she is new to the pack and young. We don't want to loose her so early in her years." He stated looking at Soala with a kind smile.

"There might be death shadowing us, since we don't know how strong this thing is. Zhan, I expect you to be ready to care for the wounded, though I wish there was another to help you." He said towards the medican wolf. "Is there any questions?"

[Tala]

"Yes, " said Tala, She looked at everyone and announced everyone when she spoke, "Does anyone know where to find it? Or how to track it?" she asked.

[bloodysnow]

Soala crouched, grateful for the protection of the older wolf. For the first time in her life, she felt secure.

Teon nodded, flexing his claws.

[Zhan]

"I can keep watch over the pup, seeing that I'll be here anyway... I have to get all the herbs and such ready in case one of you is injured on this hunt..." Zhan mumbled. Fortuna fluffed up, causing a few brown colored feathers to fall on the snow.

[Candice]

Hakkaku nodded at Tala's question. "Those are good, but if no one knows the answer to either, we'll work on it." He then looked at Zhan. "Thanks for taking her in. Maybe she could help out. At a tender age, her minds ready for molding." He grinned looking at Soala.

[bloodysnow]

Soala returned the grin shyly. "Umm... thanks." She blinked gratefully at Hakkaku and Cayden before walking towards the wolf who was treating the she-wolf from earlier. She approached him and sniffed. He smelled of herbs, and that somehow comforted her.

[falcon]

Slicer spoke up "I'll go." She waited for an arugement, and there it came. Fang reasoned "Slicer, think about it. If the hunting party has all the strongest wolves the pack woun't be protected and the creature might come, and kill." She flicked her black ears. Slicer hissed coldly "It won't get passed us." There was a tint of rage in her black eyes as if she was wanting revenge. Ash pointed out "Slicer, have you met this creature before?" She hissed "Where do you think I got this scar?" Her voice struck his heart like a huge thorn stuck in his paw.

[Candice]

Hakkaku looked at Slicer with knowledge in his eyes, and then looked at Fang. "She has the right of revenge, you can't deny her that." He said with compassion and yet a hint of rage in his deep voice.


Cayden looked at where Soala was sniffing at Zhan, glad that she found someone to help her out.
