Spark bounds up to the High Stone and howls, calling the pack to her. She looks down at everyone. The dogs running for deputy stand expectantly beneath the High Stone, fur groomed and chests puffed out. Spark said, "ThunderPack, you have all voted for your deputy, and now the results are in. Ice, you had the most votes and will be deputy." She watched the younger trainer as her smile grew, and she jumped up in joy. Howls of approval erupted from the rest of the pack. When she could be heard again, she continued. "Kisharu, the votes were close, but you were runner-up. Congratulations, you will be head warrior from now on. Third in command. Leo and Cleo, Brambles, and Amber, thank you for running, but you didn't have enough votes. You are still honored warriors among the pack." The pack was still murmuring excitedly.
"Now for other matters. Thank you to every dog who helped rescue Surry from the ravine. She is now safely in camp, where I had time to question both pups further. They say they can hardly remember their mother or father. Instead they remember a pack of big black wolves, with a harsh accent, ordering them around all the time, and abusing them. Frock said they were not related to them, but don't remember how they came to live with them. I suspect they were too young at the time. These wolves were chasing the pups when Surry slipped and fell down the ravine. One wolf told Frock that we were up ahead,and he came to find help. When he returned they had gone. I don't know how they knew we were here, unless they were on our territory, watching us. So from now on Ice, please double the border patrols, and hunters please keep an eye open for anything suspicious. Frock and Surry will stay with us from now on." Spark thought for a moment.
"That is all," she said, "Meeting dismissed!"
"Ice, Ice, Ice!!"
"Kisharu, Kisharu!"

Star glanced at Echo. He was shaking. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't want him to know that she had noticed.
ReplyDelete~Star
Echo was shaking. Something was not right about these pups. Their scent...was familiar. He stood apart from the other dogs. Ice will make a good deputy, he though, and Kisharu a good head warrior. He glanced to is left and saw Star staring at him. Embarressed, he looked away and tried to compose himself. Don't be a pup, he scolded himself angrily...
ReplyDelete~Echo
"HEY! ECHO!" she bellowed across the clearing and skipped over to him not noticing him shaking. "Whazwrong?" She noticed the fear in his eyes.
ReplyDelete~Puff
She held her head up high and puffed out her chest. She didnt need to be deputy to prove her loyalty to her pack...besides she would be the best pick for deputy if Ice died. Not that she want her to die! Is was just a thought. She padded to the warriors den and curled up next to her brother, Hakuro.
~Kisharu
(BTW they are all related in some way!)
Echo started. His head wipped around to see Puss, the airheaded trainee. But she was nice to him. He didn't know how to respond. "Oh, um, hi," he said slowly. "Nothig is wrong, why would you think that?" A cold wind swept through the clearing, bringing with it the scent of the two pups. He remembered his dream again from last night. He kept having the same dream, over and over. Suddenly he felt unsafe and tired. "I think I'm going to get some sleep," he mumbled, and turned to walk to the grassy field by the pond. He hoped Ice wouldn't ask him to go on a patrol.

Ice watched as all the dogs and wolves cheered her name. A warm glow spread over her. She was deputy!
ReplyDelete"Hey! Hey! Wait!" she skirted up to him. "I know most dogs think I dont really think...I wonder why" she tipped her head to the side "Anyways, I am as noraml as any other dog. And I have eyes, and any dog could see that you look upset! Whats really wrong?" she sat down detrmind to get an anwser her, her amber eyes glinting.
ReplyDelete~Puff
(she has her moments!)
(I really dont know but its like it turns on and off so ya when her eyes and glinting that when you know she is serious)
"Congrats Ice!" he trotted up to her his fur shining "Can I be on a border patrol then on a hunting patrol later on?" he yawned and ached his back, tightening his muscels then loosening them. "If I can will you and Sleet be on my border patrol?" he shook his pelt itching to go out and run.

He stayed as far from the other dogs as posible...and the pups. Thier smell smelled weird to them, though he had never smelled it before. They smelled much like his old home...he shuddered. His old home is what made him shy and not close to other dogs. Images of blood, the blood on the dogs paws. His parents. Broken and crumpled in a clearing. His eyes widen in terror and he briskly trotted into his specail den where no one could hurt him.
ReplyDelete~Raven
(do you mind if I do that? If you do I can just earse this!)
"Sure, Mernen!" Ice barked cheerfully. "We'll leave right away."
ReplyDeleteIce
"Okay." he padded away to featch Sleet.
ReplyDelete~Mernen
"Ugh!" he howled "Why did you 'invite' me to go on a patrol! I dont want to go on one right now! Thanks a lot! My evening of relaxing is go! Poof! Away! Just like everythin in Puff brain!" he growled his sightless eyes smoldering.
~Sleet
"Aww! Just be quiet you big furball! And dont talk about Puff like that!" he growled playfully and nudged his ear.
~Mernen
"Fine, whatever. You owe me Mernen."
~Sleet
"Ooooo!" he howled joyfully and bounded ahead.
~Mernen
He muttered two things under his breath. One sounded like "Yeah you oversized puppypet!" and the other sounded like "Why did you just go on the patrol yourself...with Ice" he growled out the last name
~Sleet
(Its fine Willowfeather!)
ReplyDeleteEcho sighed. His way was blocked by Puff who seemed more alert now than any other dog. He didn't know what to say. "Nothing is wrong...he started. "Not officially, but it's just that I get a feeling that there is something wrong with those two pups. Or not wrong, really, but fishy. And I don't like it." That was the best he could explain it, even to himself.
~Echo
(Sorry I took so long to post! I've been really busy!)
"Not officially?" she turned and looked at the two tumbling pups "Whats wrong with them? Sure they smell like rot-food but thier okay, I guess..."
ReplyDelete~Puff
(Ha, I don't think I meant to write 'officially' haha!)
ReplyDeleteEcho immedidiately felt guilty for saying that about the pups. "Nevermind..." he mumbled. But he couldn't shake that feeling.
~Echo
(oooo)
ReplyDeleteShe frowned but knew she wasnt going to get anything out of him. "Well...have a nice nap!" she barked and loped away she dashed around the clearing in a wide circle, draining some of her energy. Then WHAM! she crashed into a tree. "Im....Fine!" she dropped to the ground a tiny trickle of blood on her forhead. "Ow! Stupid tree!" she rubbed her head with her paw.
~Puff
Echo shook his head at Puff's mischeif. One minute she was fine, and then...bam! She hit a tree. He smile to himself. If only he were young again, too. He wasn't that much older than the trainees, but he felt he carried more weight on his shoulders than enyone else. He lay down and fell into a restless sleep.
ReplyDelete~Echo
He stumbled up on wobbley paws from where she had slept,next to the tree outside. 'Stupid Tree' she thought again. The blood on her forhead was dry and crusted where she hadnt scraped it off with her paw. She took a stepp and fell onto a clump of soft snow. She layed thier,in a deep sleep.
ReplyDelete~Puff
He padded out and looked around at the camp clearing. Puff slumpped over a clump of snow and Echo's nose pokeing out of the warriors den. He sighed,and ruffled his pelt he would like to have a chat with Echo but... he seemed...fragil...
~Hakuru
He streched his muscells and padded out of the den. He dould feel nervas gazes burning into his pelt ANYWHERE he went he HATED it! Just because he was blind didnt mean he had to go somewhere and bump into everything. He growled and shook his head.He could do things most other dogs COULD do but didnt try, he could sense things. Just in the clearing he could pick up all this almost before he got out off the den:
Puff sleeping on snow next to a tree with blood on he head.
Echo,slepping in warriorsden waves of uneasy rolling off of him.
Hakuru just passed by, going hunting.
~Sleet
(Hmmm, a bit like Jayfeather than, eh Sleet? haha)
ReplyDelete{Does anyone have any ideas for the next post? I've been REALLY busy lately and haven't had time to think about it! Suggestions? Thanks!}
~Dust
(haha yeah, not really original but I can live!)
ReplyDelete(Er...maybe you should post something about the pups. Or some sort of after leaf-bare danger like falling trees?? I dont know! Umm maybe a group of rouges moved in?)
(oooo! The group of rouge could be Echo's past but the others dont know that YET!)
ReplyDeleteYou are ingenious! OK I'll get right on it. But I may not post right away, I have SO much homework all of a sudden, and I'm very busy!)
ReplyDelete~Dust
Yeah I am! =D
