( Okay, ya know, Babylonia's kind of cackling maniacally on top of Luma, about to deal the death blow, but don't look up or anything guys )

[SaveAWolfxSaveALife]

(so.... What do we do? I don't think I can really do much, until someone postes.)

(Could I randomly bring Kane or Rose into this? Well, maybe not Rose, but...)

[Sivoncé™]

( Don't ask me;; I kinda got written out of the thread here =P )

[Njack]

(Uh, Knot's suspended in midair, heading for Babylonia... >_>)

[SaveAWolfxSaveALife]

(Hmmm. Well, I want to do something, so I'll put Kane in. I don't want to put both cuz then I have to rp with 5 wolves in this thread...)

Kane trampled over the grass that stood tall, making his way to, well, anywhere. "I can't stand around those wolves another minute." He mumbled to himself. "I'll go back, I just need to get aw--" His head lowered, ears swivled and nose twitching. There were wolves around, BloodMists and some other scents. "So I'm not alone." He growled. But as he thought about the wolves not far ahead, he wondered if there was a battle going on. A small scent of blood was there, but not fresh, but there was certainly some sort of fight going on. The long for sinking his teeth in the enemies flesh made him dash to where the scent came from, becoming stronger and stronger as he sped up. The scent of blood that was there was making his mouth water, urging him onwards, until he broke through a bush.
And he was correct. There, in front of him, were some of his Packmates, assaulting another wolf. Probably a Pack wolf, Kane didn't know what Pack though. He thought he recognized the one on top of the fae, Babylonia, maybe. But standing around and watching did him no good. He wasn't going to let Babylonia take the joy of a kill. If he could at least torture the victim, letting Kane take a few swipes. But Babylonia was already going for the death blow. With teeth bared in a snarl, Kane darted his way to where they all stood, only a few feet away from Babylonia, and halted. Well, he was there. But what could he do, except let the fae be killed? Maybe his presence would change Babylonia's mind, but the last thing he wanted to do was speak. After all, Kane was a new member, and it wasn't his job to interrupt things.
It did make him burn on the inside, having to not do anything. He absolutely hated taking orders, or being a lower rank. But because this Pack was his last hope, and because he had experienced enough failures with the refusal to obey authority, he was going to fall through with it. One day he knew he would become a respected BloodMist, maybe even alpha, but he had to wait.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

There was a sort of internal conflict brewing just beneath Coop’s golden locks. True, he could be the valiant knight and fight his way into an early demise for the sake of Missing and the two other she-wolves that had caught his eye. But there was also the cowardice. His fight-or-flight instinct was heavily geared toward flight, he knew, and the entire situation appeared hopelessly crazy.
I should run! Forget the what’s-her-face chick! Nab Missing and let’s go, go, go!!
Limping to stand beside Maline—who had just received another wince-inducing kick to her vulnerable body—Coop nearly ducked into a sprint. But fortunately—or unfortunately?—Arachna was stepping back and announcing their mutual departure. Ain’t that convenient?
“Yeah… yeah, you better run,” Coop muttered halfheartedly, ignoring the fact that the BloodMist soldiers weren’t even attempting to make a quick escape. He then turned his attention back to Maline, who he nudged experimentally with his nose. “Hey… you okay?”

Resisting this withdraw from battle, Dallas prepared to return to the fray when a sharp hiss stabbed at his senses. For a moment, the jaded haze of bloodlust and adrenaline prevented him from recognizing the meaning of her words. But just as Luma had begun racing away, Dallas managed a stiff nod, and his vision cleared.
To his immediate dismay, Babylonia was already pelting after his packmate.
“LUMA!”
But the warning came too late. The hard thump of a body slamming into the dust was his only reply, and with it came a swarm of fury. Dallas plowed on forward, concentrated on a single being. Even the lingering shadow of yet another wolf—probably an enemy recruit—would not halt the furious brute.
He leaped, closing in on Babylonia, sending a hundred fragmented prayers that he may lay an accurate blow upon this she-devil. Unaware if Luma was alive or dead… and not quite able to care. Bloodlust, now. Very contagious stuff.
“Fight me, you demon!”

[SaveAWolfxSaveALife]

Maline felt more nudging in her side, starting to be drawn awake, but she was still unable to move/talk. Her eyes were opened to slits now, her head pounding. Silently she cried. "Holy crap! I got hit hard!' Slowly the senses in her body cam back, and before long she was throbbing with pain. Coop was standing in front of her, along with Esrever. And before long she was conscious again.
She spoke in a dry whisper, "You could have helped me, you know. Instead of letting me get mauled by that...that...beast." Her eyes were still slits, but the part that showed was giving the most hating look she could give.
But her body was pulsing with an excruciating pain. The last thing she wanted to do was complain. She could barely make herself sit up, her head down and tail gone limp. The kick she'd recieved to her side was unbareable, and she let out soft moans of pain. "Gah, Esrever, I know you didn't want these wolves around, and you were right. They were nothing but trouble, bringing us into this mess. We aren't part of your stupid Packs, and we don't want to participate in your battles!" She emphasized the word stupid, hissing at Coop. "Look at me! Look at everyone else! This is what you do for a living? Fight until people get hurt, or worse, die? This is rediculous! I can't MOVE! Get me away from you, get me away from everyone. I don't want to be near you filthy Pack wolves!" Her eyes were blazing, everything starting to come back to her. "GET ME AWAY!"

Kane was startled as a wolf flung himself upon Babylonia. Instincts kicked in, and before Babylonia could respond, Kane flung himself upon Dallas. His teeth were bared, pulled back in a snarl. The spark of killing lit up in his eyes, ready to sink his teeth in Dallas' throat. But first, he wanted to continue with his idea of torture.
Kane bit into Dallas' forleg, pulling like his leg was a piece of prey. He intended to tear the flesh off of this wolf.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Coop tilted his head as Maline roused from her momentary state of comatose, and almost as soon as she had opened his mouth to speak, Coop wished desperately that she would return to unconsciousness. I mean, honestly—what is the problem with all these girls!? And hey, you weren’t the only one getting a bruising, thank you!
A couple of other immature insults and retorts burned in his throat, but Coop managed to force them down to his chest… just barely. Instead, he rolled his eyes and muttered a few lines. Most of his words were incomprehensible, but something along the lines of “whatever”, “you don’t know what you’re talking about”, and “Missing was cuter, anyways” summarized the gist of it.
Backing away, he added a dry “I guess you’re alright, then?” before turning his attention on Eurasia, who was exchanging sharp words with Gade.
“Well, gee, it looks like we’re all getting along just fine, aren’t we?” Coop growled, voicing his sarcastic thoughts aloud. I hope Luma and Dallas are having better luck than we are.

As his bulk was colliding with Babylonia, the rustling of movement announced the arrival of a fourth wolf. Ears swiveling, but unable to break out of his airborne assault, Dallas dug his fangs into Babylonia—where they impacted, however, was unbeknownst to him—just as Kane dug his own set of incisors into Dallas’ foreleg. Fire bloomed beneath his skin, fiercely scorching at the site of the wound, and tempting Dallas to release his hold on Babylonia and force this interference away.
But I need to buy Luma time… if she’s even still alive, that is.
Forcing his thoughts to focus solely on Babylonia, digging his jaws deeper into who knows where. Kane’s fangs, meanwhile, was already peeling the skin off his foreleg, and although a few halfhearted swings of his foreleg were aimed toward Kane in defense, Dallas was unable to assume defense in his current position.

((this post was made assuming that Dallas was able to attack Babylonia—if you wanted Babylonia to dodge Dallas’ attack or something, Sivvy, I can always edit it if you want))

[SaveAWolfxSaveALife]

Anger welled inside of Kane as Dallas' legs flailed at him. He had successfully torn some skin off of his legs, and the taste of blood brought him back for more. Loosening his grip on Dallas' foreleg, Kane dug his teeth into Dallas' neck. But his goal wasn't to kill yet, just to make the wolf loosen his grip on Babylonia. Still, his bite was hard and vicious.
---
Was Maline going to loose it now? Coop was rolling his eyes like a neophyte, and his behavior made her all the more angry. Frustrated and without second thought, she flung herself on top of the ignorant wolf, biting into the back of his neck. Was it wrong to attack him? She was a loner, after all, and Coop was a Pack wolf. There should be nothing wrong with sinking her teeth into his neck. But something told her "Don't!".
She'd never attacked anyone before, and as her teeth loosened their grip on her victim, her thoughts trailed to the memories of her friend, running across some stepping stones because of Maline's game, slipping, and falling to her death.
What a tradgedy, and, though this wolf really wasn't her friend, how could she hurt him? How could she hurt anyone? Pitying herself, Maline let go of Coop, bowing her head in apology, and turned to Esrever.
"I want to leave." She said at a low volume, avoiding a glance at Coop.
---
Gade was devastated. What could he do without Featherswift? He ignored Eurasia, turning to the body, vision still blurry, and laid down beside her. A deep sigh escaped, maybe a tear, and he lay there without a word.
---
Well, I'm not a Pack wolf anymore, but I might as well help these guys. They're pretty beaten up.
Eurasia turned her head to look at every wolf. The last wolf she wanted to treat right now was Gade, so she trotted over to where Coop, Esrever, and Maline stood. She wasn't feeling so hot herself, of course, but patients came first. Ewww. What am I thinking? Patients first. Though I may be able to earn my trust back...
She had came just in time to hear Maline say to Esrever she wanted to leave.
"Oh, no you don't. You look like you've just been crushed by... A really, really big thing. I bet you can't even move, so don't plan on traveling until I check up on you."
Then she turned to Coop.
"You aren't looking so good either. In fact, everyone here is looking like trash. It's amazing that two Hellfirians could do all that..."
Eurasia went straight to work, treating Coop first because he had more blood wounds, unlike Maline, who was simply bruised. Her toungue lasped over his cuts, and she muttered to herself what herbs she'd need.
"And where do I get herbs? I hardly know this place."

[featherswift]

Finally, the weight in her head lifted and she could control her body again. She'd heard everything exchanged between everyone...especially Gade and Eurasia. She then heard his sigh when he laid by her. He really cared about what happened to her! This made her feel warm just a little bit and as she finally felt her limbs could move if she wanted she felt the pain also. Featherswifts' head hurt and her gash across her sides' blood was starting to clot and so were her scratches. "Uhh, I hurt," she grunted as she got up slowly. As she did the world turned and made her dizzy. She caught herself and stood still waiting for the dizziness to stop. At last it did and her eyes focused on Gade who was laying by her. Then she looked around at the other wolves and a thought hit her through her daze. Where was Luma?! Alarm shot through her. Featherswift started walking a few steps and looked around again, her gait slow. "Where is Luma and Dallas? Surely the Bloodmists' didn't just attack us?," she asked all the party. Dallas was with her too, another wolf missing. Her limbs still felt weak and she still couldn't think completely straight, but she managed.

[SaveAWolfxSaveALife]

Gade's eyes went wide as he watched Featherswift regain consciousness. The only thing he saw was a copper and white wolf standing up slowly, and with relief he sighed again. "Thank Lupis, you're alive!" He said cheerfully, his thoughts turning around. The only thing he cared about now was that Featherswift was okay, but she started to speak outloud. She must be trying to talk to the party. But each and every wolf was distracted, bickering with eachother, especially Maline and Coop. Featherswift was trying to ask them where Dallas and Luma were, and Gade walked up to her slowly. "Featherswift, Luma and Dallas are at their own thing. We got a little carried away, and all ended up in the same place, with two loners." As he verified all of this outloud his mind screamed at him "What is Luma going to say?! I'm the one who brought all of them here in the first place!"

(Short post, sorry. But I can't use any charries yet except Gade. Featherswift, Kane and Luma and Dallas and the rest are kind of at their own thing, so that's why I did that. Siv doesn't really want us to interfere.)

[Njack]

(Yeah, I can't really move Knot until maybe someone reacts to him flying through the air at Babylonia, but I can probably post with Esrever.)

Esrever blinked at Maline, who had started fuming and spitting out things like "Get me away!" ?traeh fo egnahc nedduS

Then she started almost attacking that other wolf, but stopped. So Esrever shrugged. .meht ni thguac teg t'nod ew fi retteb s'ti ,emas eht lla ...neppah selttab ,naem I

.reh tsurt t'nod I ?aisaruE ?eman reh saw tahw ,flow rehto taht dnA Esrever bent down near Maline's ear when he was sure Eurasia was tending to Coop. "Alright, let's go. And you don't need to listen to her, you look like you're only bruised..." It sounded blunt, but Esrever wasn't sure if he wanted to hang around these pack wolves any longer either. He thought for a moment, then added, "I can wait, though, if you'd like her to help you."

...hE

[SaveAWolfxSaveALife]

"Oh thank Lupis." She breathed to Esrever. "Let's get out of here. She can't do anything to help me anyways, since she has no herbs." Maline stiffly lifted a leg, eyeing Eurasia suspiciously, and slwoly padded away, not caring if Eurasia tried to stop her. She didn't have the right to tell her to stay put, considering that Eurasia wasn't an herb healer anymore. Her pawsteps were loud and painful, and her joints popped. How long had she been knocked out? It wasn't long though before Maline's muscles were more streached, hurting like Hellfire, but streached, and she could walk a little faster. "Come on, Esrever. We're leaving."
---
Eurasia snarled as Maline started to walk away, making her angry. That wolf wasn't going to last at the state she was in, so she simply let her walk away. She was stubborn, leaving at that state, but right now she was focused on her task with Coop. The wounds were clean now, and needed some herbs before they got infected. Unfortunately, she dind't have any, and had no clue where to get them. The only thing she could do was give Coop advice.
"Keep licking those every few minutes to keep in clean, and when you get back to camp ask LillyPad...." She choked out the name, "...To get you some herbs so those don't get infected. She'll know which ones to get." She meant it more than saying she knew, but complementing the young healer. Her neophyte was very wise, and she could be at camp teaching her if she hadn't sinned. Still, she knew what she wanted to do, and her main goal was getting Featherswift to understand.
---
Kane quickly noticed something. A new scent was in the air. He turned from Dallas after giving him a head lock, and saw a wolf flying through the air at Babylonia. How long had that wolf been there?
Kane took action, ignoring Dallas now and throwing himself into mmidair to meet Knot at eye level, then throwing himself at him and tackling him to the ground. When they hit, Kane landed on his feet, staggering a little, eyeing Knot suspiciously. "You Pack wolves are pitiful" He muttered, smirking, and lunging at Knot to deliver a blow.

(There. You can rp w/ him now. Sorry to make you wait. xD)

[featherswift]

Featherswift looked at Gade with a worried expression. Luma could be really hurt since she only had one other wolf with her. Sighing, she looked around at Eurasia who was helping heal Coop. It hurt her to watch, knowing that her friend wasn't going to come back to them. Feeling was starting to come back to her legs and her body in general, but she still felt wobbly. She sat down and looked at all the wolves. So much for going out in small groups...at least we did though or we could have all been killed she thought to herself. Then she looked down at her side where the Blood Mist had attacked her. Blood was caked on her fur around the huge wound, but wasn't flowing anymore. It probably would though if she moved a lot. Featherswift began to lick herself to get the blood off. Her muzzle cringed at the taste, but she kept at it, trying to get all of the nasty red stuff get off before it stained her fur anymore. As she did she remembered the fight with the Hellfirian who had asked her of her loyalty and it made her ears go down a little. She was a loyal Sheeran and would do anything to help her pack or it's members.....or friends. Then she heard Gade again in her head. She had barely understood what he had said, but had heard his tone. He had been worried about her and mad at Eurasia. It made her grin just a little.

[Njack]

(Okay, I can't write, so...)

Esrever tilted his head forwards slightly to the pack wolves, then followed Maline back into the loner lands.

Wait. Uh... deeper into the loner lands. That's what I meant.

---

Knot felt a sudden pressure on his side and he was rolling over himself slamming onto the ground.

Fighting to keep his pain in check, he growled, "Really, now?"

As Kane lunged at him, he kicked out with his rear legs, hoping to score Kane across the stomach. Knot steeled himself to roll over quickly as soon as he saw if his claws were going to hit Kane or not.

If he didn't, more likely than not, Kane's claws were going to embed themselves in his eye or something.
