The black fae was almost completely white. All the snow had landed softly on her pelt. Her pale blue eyes scanned around the two packs. A cold chill swept through her back. Ada shook her pelt sending snow flying around. But no one was even close enough to feel it. She sighed inwardly. She wondered if anyone even new she was apart of Black Mist. No one seemed to ever speak to her. She wasn't rude of mean, no one just ever took the time to get the know her. She shook the feeling off; her feet were burning like hellfire. She could feel her pads breaking with each step. But she kept walking.

Reige had his tail held low, ears flicking restlessly as he forced his paws to continue trudging along the path chosen by the alphas up ahead. How could they not be tired? With BloodMist on their tails however, Reige couldn't blame them entirely for wanting to go fast but honestly, there was a limit. The packs had been traveling for days with little rest. Reige stopped for a moment, panting slightly since he'd run for hours. Looking around, Reige did a doubletake, his eyes landing on a fae that seemed black under the snow trudging along at a bit of a slower pace behind most of them. "Are you ok?" Reige barked, looking back at the fae wondering if maybe she'd been hurt. She seemed to be going slow. The tri-colored brute was almost white from the snow and gave himself a brisk shake, revealing his grey fur streaked with brown and splashed white and black here and there.

Ada's head lifted as she heard a voice that seemed to be directed at her. He wasn't moving so that gave her time to catch up to him at her own pace. When she thought she was in a close enough earshot. She made sure he could hear her over the wind. "I'll be fine.." She woofed telling a little bit of a lie. She could feel her long tail dragging on the icy ground. She raised it a little ways up to stop it from geting damaged. Her pale blue eyes looked at him and she barked "Yourself?" to the tri-colored brute.

Reige shrugged. "Alright I guess." Reige lifted up his paws to start running again winced. There were gashes in his paw pads from the ice and cold but Reige knew that complaining would do no good to anybody. He'd already learned well enough that wolves in BlackMist thought him odd, simply appearing one day with no memory. Reige didn't care that much though. He flicked his tail encouragingly to Ada. "Come on, the faster we move the faster we get there" he barked though his voice was hollow with exhustion.

Ada nodded her head. Agreeing with him, but she just hoped she didn't fall before they got there. She bent her muzzle down to her font paw, and sniffed it. She was going to wash the pad quickly, but decided angst it. The wetness would just make it freeze more. "I'm Ada by the way." She let a week smile cross her face. It was hard to smile when you felt like your feet were on fire. But then if they were on fire why didn't the cold cool them off? Because it wasn't your regular on fire. More like, there so cold you cant even feel them anymore. Ada shook her white head, which turned black after all the snow flew off.

"I'm Reige" Reige barked, gaving his freezing body another brisk shake, sending more snow and ice tumbling from his grey flanks. "We'd better start running again or we'll be left behind." Reige just hoped his paws would hold up. It would be a long hard journey especially since now it was a race, the packs vs BloodMist. The winner got to stay alive. Slowing down wasn't an option. You had to be strong to make it, Reige understood that but it didn't mean he liked it.

Ada nodded to Reige, he was right they better keep moving and fast, and there was no time to spare, no time to lose. She took a deep breath in and looked to Reige, then started running again. She realized she was clenching her teeth and released the grip before she hurt her jaw to. 'How much longer..?' She wondered, She new they had to beat Blood Mist to..Where ever they were going. To many things to think about when you have nothing to say.

Midnight sat there her black ebony coat standing out like nothing you could EVER miss in your life. Besides her blind sister...Moon. Her amber and green eye blinked at once at the site of her sister. Could it be she was imaging it like she had many times before? A hurt look came into her eyes and she swallowed before speaking. "Yea Moon its me...is it really you? Are you here?", she asked in silky whispered tones tears comeing into her eyes. Had she really found them? She stepped foward her black velvet snout comeing intouch with a pure white one. Two oppiste colors comeing as one. "Im not dreaming...", Midnight whispered and a yelp came from her maw. "MOON IM NOT DREAMING! ITS YOU! TELL ME ITS YOU!", she woofed raceing around her sister her discolored gaze sparkeing with joy and eximent.
Luna licked her mates paw delicately. "Wanna trade?", she asked him and let out a giggle pressing her frame against his softly. Her crown turned to some barking but the wind killed it down before anything could be heard. She looked up ahead at the pack. "Lets get moving", she woofed to her love and brushed past him. (dude..Luna and Ebony are like....woow XD)

(lol)
Ebony smiled at his mate and rose to his paws once more, following Luna after the joined packs. He heard words in the distance but there was no time for straggling strays that couldn't keep up. Ebony winced as he started running again but soon enough the pain in his bleeding paws was numbed once more by the constant motion and constant freezing cold.
Moon braced herself when she heard paws running at her but her ears pricked when she heard Midnight's voice. Moon smiled prettily and wagged her tail happily, moving forward a little more, sniffing carefully, touching her nose lightly to Midnight's. Curse all this foresaken snow! Moon found it. Midnight. "No, you're not dreaming" Moon barked happily. "I'm here, I came back." Moon decided it probably wasn't a good idea to tell Midnight that for a breif time she'd had her vision, until a few suns ago when she'd fallen and her vision had once more been stolen, sealing her back in her darkened world. "Where have you been?" Moon asked softly.

Tisana smiled. "It's my job, little one. You are quite welcome."
She turned back to her patient. "Now. Swelling? Broken Bones? Headache?"

Snowstorm had been walking since she'd found she wasn't dying. Her heart was heavy with guilt that she'd sent Mirage away, she knew her daughter would be grieving. Snowy moved slower, slower then her usual limp. Her muscles felt frozen and numb, her paws slashed by ice and her form almost invisible against the blowing snow. She had to find Tumbleweed. Her heart was heavy in her chest, like she was carrying a lump of lead where her heart had been. Snowstorm raised a paw to take another step. The ice on the snow broke and she sank further then she'd antisipated. Caught off balance, Snowy fell painfully and laid in the snow, panting. She was already ill but had forced herself to try and find Mirage. In the distance she saw a horde of wolves moving. She couldn't call out. She felt too numb.
Reige had been trailing again and pricked his ears. Turning his head he saw someone fall. "Hey!" Reige barked back. "Are you ok?" No reply. "Hey!" Reige barked louder, bounding toward the wolf. She was limp, eyes dark. Reige looked up toward the pack. "Tisana! Someone's hurt" Reige barked though he doubted the fae would hear him with the wind blowing like it was. "We need a healer back here!"

Tisana looked up. "Oh..." she sighed, exausted.
"Tumbleweed can go." Light suggested. "He's a lone healer."
Tisana smiled. "Oh, would you dear?"
Tumbleweed nodded. "Of course." He padded over to where Reige was.

Reige saw the loner coming and dipped his head, nudging Snowstorm's head a little. "Hey, wake up" Reige barked softly. "Somebody's coming to help you."
Snowstorm barely moved. Her breathing sounded wheezy and her topaz eyes once light butterscotch were now darkened amber. Reige looked up, looking worried. "I think she's a loner and I think she's dying." Reige glanced back and saw a trail of scarlet. His eyes went to her paws. She had cuts on her paw pads.

Star shook her head, and nuzzled Kunai. "I missed you, you little furball!" She kidded. "Did everything go alright?" she asked, referring to Grey Mist's flight from Blood Mist.
Sharpie re-entered the den, panting madly and looking grim. "Night...." he began. "Blood Mist are about a half mile back. We can't stay here."

Tisana narrowed her eyes. "No way are we leaving right now with two wounded. If Night wants to go, then you go. But I, for one, am staying. We got severe wounds, and possibly a dieing wolf. I'm not going anywhere."
She turned back to Star. "Now, head trama? Broken bones? Swelling?"
Tumbleweed nodded. "Can you bring her up to the den? We need to get her warm. And I smell Blood Mist. Closer to the group we get her, the better."
