Olive limped into the camp, eyes weary and red with tears.
Instantly, heads turned, gasps were audible, and wolves gathered to share suspicions and theories. They didn't know what had happened yet, Olive reflected as anger welled inside of her. They're lucky they don't know.

Harley padded in behind Olive. She padded over to Light and whispered in his ear. He nodded and lept upon the ShadowRock.
Pheonix came in bearing the body of Sharpie on his shoulders. The warrior was patched up, by the help of Tisana, and his neck was throughly bandaged so he would look better. His fur was clean now.
Pheonix lay the brute infront of ShadowRock and walked up to Harley, pressing his side against her's. A single tear rolled down from Light's eye.

Olive knew there was no point in attempting to control her tears. She rushed foward, burying her face in her father's fur, losing herself in his fading scent. His fur was crusted with blood, but her tears, just as Holly's had, were washing away some of the blood.
Saskia stayed off to the side, but Crow padded forward, tears slipping from his eyes, as well. He bent down to sit beside Olive, prssing against his aunt for comfort, and to give it in return.

Iver emerged from the shadows of the camp. Emerald pools took in the gathered wolves. Then Sharpie's body.

(Okay,,,people, please go read the thread "Fix You" in the Twilight Clearing. It explains everything in more detail than the explanation that will be found here  ) Saskia glanced around warily, wondering if the femme who had slain the devil survived. Annanti, she thought her name was. Daughter of Liviana....granddaughter of Diablo and Lucinda...greatgranddaughter of Rhain....wait....
Annanti is the only living descendant of Wind and Sky!There had been four siblings just as there had once been four great packs. But they had been slaughtered down by Paris...all but Annanti. This was a change to the great story of how Verlust survived them all. Now Annanti lived...but where would she go now? The fae's scent was not near; she couldn't catch the aroma at all. She frowned wondering if the wolf would be alright. |

Light sat on the ShadowRock and called a pack meeting. Holly had still not arrived. The sun was rising, engulfing the camp in a grotesque crimson.
Spring is coming... the holly shall bloom...

Saskia looked up at Light, waiting for him to give the terrible, shattering news to the unawares.
Silence did not appear from her den;; She'd known Ink's son would pass in the manner that had happened, but she also knew that there was nothing that could've stopped it. Now she'd left the camp in search of Annanti, and in search of the other eight.

Light took a ragged breath. He wasn't going to explain. He wasn't going to elaborate. "Sharpie is dead." he said simply, his voice cracking. "He was killed."

Saskia glared up at Light. Sharpie deserved more than just that. He didn't just die...he'd saved his daughter, he'd helped a young'un fulfill a vow of revenge.
And he'd been a noble wolf, just as Holly and Olive were. All of them deserved more than that.

Light looked at his paws. "Pack dismissed." he whispered. He lept of the rock and into his den beneath it.

Saskia let out a disgusted snarl, then padded over to Crow and Olive. She would stay with them this night and honor a silent vigil. At least Sharpie would get that....
But where was Holly? Unwelcome thoughts tugged at the corners of her mind, but she desperately shoved them away. Holly would come back...she had to. What about Olive? The youngun was shivering...she didn't even know about Pepper yet. She'd have to go through a lot of therapy and recooperation before she could even think about starting her training...
Where...?

Harley licked Olive's ears again before padding over to lay down beside Sharpie's body. The thoughts of those around her were overwhelming. Suddenly, she stood up. "HOLLY IS NOT DEAD! SHE IS STRONGER THAN THA-"
The sound came. A thud sound. Only louder.

Crow closed his eyes for a moment, backing away from all of the chaos around him. He could feel Olive shudder with fresh wounds of grief. Waves of panic were coarsing through the wolves around him. It made him dizzy;; the black wolf shut his eyes tighter, then opened them to the torn world. Despite all of the horrors he had faced before, he was not prepared for this. Every gaurdian he'd ever had had fallen to an untimely death. He thought he'd be prepared to know that Holly wouldn't be able to take it...it had seemed almost obvious.
But still, he felt tears well up in his own eyes at the heartaching reality. Saskia pressed close to him, tearing up herself.

It was at that horrible time that Okashii and Kinomi ran out of their den, and up to Olive. "You're back!"
The didn't notice their father. Nor did they notice the amounts of sadness in the eyes of the wolves around them.
So suddenly, their squeals of delight faded and turned into tears as they collapsed by their father's body. Harley fell to the ground, unconcious. The emotions had become too much to bear. Pheonix ran to her side.

Olive said nothing, only sobbed harder.
Silence emerged from the entrance, eyes sad and desperate. Her search was not going well.
