Paws surged down the slope, tired and weary, but determined to be strong. The wolves poured into the clearing, illuminated by Twilight skies. Above them, the stars trembled and dulled, as if they, too, were affected by illness.
The wolf who headed this pack was a silvery white, but her sheen was scarcely an ounce of its usual magnificence tonight. Her eyes were sharp but tired and bloodshot, her pelt ragged and rapidly shedding. The new scars on her shoulders reflected the recent brawl with her brother, in which she had done nothing to defend herself. Mist padded forward cautiously, tilting her head and scenting the air to see where the other packs were.
Laika and Owen padded into the clearing. Owen had looked forward to seeing Kiba tonight, but with Laika in her depression, Owen felt terrible for leaving her alone. Laika was rather shy, and hadn't many friends in the pack. He hoped his cousin would learn to branch out a bit more.
Winnie and Rye bounded after their pack, still energized through their disease. The twosome were always a hyper bunch. They gazed around, wondering when their friends from the other packs would arrive.

Light struggled to remain calm as he led his small group into the clearing. His head was down, his tail low. His eyes had allowed their usual brightness to flee, as if it, too, was running from sickness.
"BUT KIIIBBBAA!!" Okashii whined loudly. "I DON'T EVEN LIIIKE SHEERANS!"
Kiba smiled amusingly. "Oka, quiet down. Don't be rude. I'm your elder, and you will do what I say. You're helping out three wolves. Isn't that enough?"
"I guess" Okashii scowled, but brightened up a bit.
Kiba came to a stop infront of Owen. She winked at him slyly. "Owen, Laika, meet Okashii. She's my denmate."

( Let's try and keep this to three days max, guys XD No one-week stuff ;; plot day is next fri.! )
Laika glanced up at Okashii, eyes swollen with tears. She cried no longer, for her eyes had shed every tear she could for now. There was stil damp around her blue-green gaze, however. Laika nodded slightly. "H-Hello," she croaked.
Owen gave Laika a comforting nudge, then turned away with Kiba. When Laika was out of earshot, he began to explain what had happened. "Shaft....my uncle, was very sick. It drove him mad...and he attacked Mist. Mist couldn't do it...she, too, was wrecked with illness, and could not harm her own brother. Laika heard the noise, and...." he closed his eyes for a long moment, then whispered, "Laika had no choice but to slay her own father. And she's a strong wolf...but I know my cousin. She's shaken....more than Mist. More than anyone..." He looked at his paws, miserable. "I've no idea how to help her."

Kiba wore a look of concern on her face. "Poor girl... I'm pretty sure Okashii will cheer her up. She's..."
Kiba glanced to where Okashii was stupidly chasing her tail. "... a character."
Okashii was breathing hard. "STUPID LONG FURRY ANIMAL!"

Laika raised a brow at the wolf, smiling slightly. She said nothing, for now words came to her mind of endless, blue torment. No words would capture happiness, as she felt none though a small surge of static pricked her when Okashii had appeared. Something was tugging at her...telling her, pleading with her to accept the past and move on. What was done was done...there was no changing that. Or is there...can I avenge you, father? Can I somehow help in finding the demise of the illness that took you?
The wind ruffled her fur slightly, and suddenly an idea struck her.
With a small, genuine smile...she whispered to Okashii, "Okashii...I have an idea. It's to help the packs...I don't know why I didn't think of it before! But we can't tell anyone yet...we have to make sure this is concrete before we raise hopes. Come with me and I'll tell you about it!" Laika slunk away into the brush, waiting for Okashii to follow.
Owen rolled his eyes and grinned.
Suddenly, a thought struck him. "Hey...where are Crow and Saskia...?"
Winnie and Rye looked around for someone to talk with.
Silence had neglected to come to this meeting, unusual in times like these. Silence had not been around camp since the last gathering, either.
Olive padded forward, head down and eyes watering with fresh tears. Why, Twilight? Why did Crow leave....why did Saskia perish? Why?!

The sullen forms of the Siverians arrived, Sabela at their lead. The loss of their proxy had seemed to change the whole character of the Siverians.
Sabela halted next to Mist, and nodded her hellos. She had not spoken much since she had announced Mystic proxy.
Dashina had neglected to come, she still sat, her nose pressed to Riley's form, wailing.
A saddened Seidai raced after his alphess, his chest fur dampened with blood that his sister had spit up. He had been reluctant to leave his close-to-death sister, for he could tell her spirit was about to join her mother. He disapeared within the few wolves that were there.

Wary black paws carried the Destinian alpha toward the Moonless Meeting. Silver eyes were darkened with exhustion though his exhustion had little to do with the sickness. At least, it wasn't that he was sick. No. It was that his pack was sick and growing sicker by the day. A neophyte, Carolina, was Sothis's friend and was likely to pass away any day now. Sirius knew it would hit his son hard but didn't know how to soften the blow. He just wished he had a cure. Something to offer the ill of his pack and give them hope that they would be ok.
Sighing, Sirius padded toward the other leaders. He was hoping one of their healers would have seen something. Maybe something had come up and they could still help the sick wolves? Or maybe he was being a fool and hoping in vain.

Okashii immediately stopped and followed Laika. Her tail twitched slightly with caution, but of course, she denied her better judgement and trekked after Laika without regret.
Kiba's eyes clouded. "Light will probably announce it... but... S-saskia was killed b-by some wolf. Crow is m-missing again."
She restrained herself from his comforting shoulder. "Oh Owen, we're all falling apart! Silence is gone, Crow is gone, Saskia is DEAD!"

Owen's eyes widened in horror. "W-What?! But who killed her?! And why would Crow just...leave?!" Surely Crow was too wrecked with grief to go anywhere...?
Or maybe he's too tormented with fury that he needs to take her killer's life with his own claws...
(We can start a thread by the Twilight Lake for Laika and Okashii =] )
Nightshade padded towards Light, dipping her head respectfully. Her eyes were tortured and bloodshot. "More loss...I pray that you've found and end to it...?" She whispered, already knowing the answer. No pack had found the cure. There was no end to it...
Fireflight had neglected to come to this meeting. She would remain with Euphrated until the moment his breath blew away forevermore.
Carolina, too, could not come. The sickness that had ensnared her was neglecting to let up.
Mystic padded over to Asha. "It doesn't look so good..." she whispered, referring to the tired, weary faces of the other packs. "So Riley was not the only one..." her voice cracked, thick with pain.

Lilly Pad chased after her bros and sister while Fang was just walking around the place. Flower was just eyeing them so they don't jump in a lake. Nightlight... well... he wa just running around.
Kunai walked around to find his orginal area where he normally sits at, looking. Finally. Even though it was just a ground live where everyone is sitting at.

Winnie padded over to Kunai since not too many wolves were talking tonight.
"Him I'm Winnie...who are you?" She asked kindly.
Rye bounded over to Fang, eager to do something other than stand there stupidly with his sister. "Hey, Fang, what's up?"

((True.... lol kidding))
Kunai lifted his head and saw a younger neophyte from the Sheerian pack. "Hi Winnie, nice to meet you I'm Kunai." He introduced himself to her.
Fang looked at his brother. "Hey Rye, I'm sick, like everyone else."

( Silly me forgot they were brothers XD )
Rye frowned. "Me too. This bites...I mean, I'm barely allowed to train now! All because of some stupid illness...how about your training?"

(kk I'll go post there now XP)
Kiba allowed a single tear to trickle down her cheek. "I don't know, Owen." she snapped, suddenly angry. She didn't have a clue at what. Herself. Light. This stupid illness. Crow. The world.
Okashii pranced on to the new thread thing.
Light sighed. "I'm afraid not, Mist. We've been losing many." And not just to illness.
All my other wolfies came in at the same time, for some reason. XP
