Paws beat a steady tattoo on the ground as Frost raced along. Her blue eyes were fixed on Aiyana's tail, a deer-length in front of her. The Healer wasn't naturally speedy, and she didn't want to even try to win this race. She just let herself surrender to the freedom of racing along, the wind in her fur.
A dark pelt flashed in the sun, and Frost recognized Zephos, the alpha. She grinned at him and raced onwards, her paws eating up the ground. A sturdy fern smacked her in the face and she flinched, reducing speed slightly. Whoops... She whisked her tail and leapt forwards again, unconcerned.

Aiyana's auds perked and she quickly glanced back again. The sound of more then one wolves paws made her curious. She spotted Frost and then noticed the alpha, Zephos, following after. Turning her dial back again, she could still make out the tail of Natasha not too far ahead of her. "It seems we have another competitor!" She called out to the beta. |

Churning up the weak ferns that were caught in the shadows of the taller ones, Zephos continued, letting his tongue loll freely out of his mouth. He and Frost had seemingly left at the same time, and soon enough they were running side to side. He was silently greeting her with a nod as he ran on.
Just after he had narrowly dodged a strong, green frond, Frost had been caught off-gaurd by one herself. He chuckled as she slowed down, but kept the chase alive. After a few more seconds of running, an ivory wolf with blue tattoos raged before him. He took speed from his lightning bolt and rushed off past Frost.
Licking at Aiyanas' heels, Zephos panted a bit harder. His paws tried to go faster, but his legs were too exhausted and his mind was un-able to enjoy the run; he was too worried about his pack.
He turned slower and soon he was at Frosts' heels, panting along.

Natasha led them along a wild ride, zig zagging around trees and leaping over streams and logs that got in her way. Tongue lolling, she panted for breath, but she kept going fast if not faster than before. Hearing Aiyana's call, she glanced behind and grinned. Zephos had joined the race. "Come on!" She called over her shoulder, her voice teasing "That the best you got?" SHe put on another burst of speed, pulling out in front.

A gray shape padded slowly through the trees. The wolf stared at the ground, amber eyes narrowed. Her ears swiveled at the sound of paws pounding from behind her. She looked around just in time to see Natasha running towards her, and fast. Her eyes widened, and the large she-wolf leapt out of the way, barely avoiding getting run into. She scowled as the group ran past. What were they doing? The fact that the Alpha and Beta were partaking in such nonsense annoyed her even more. Shouldn't they be doing something more productive? She growled irritably, and stalked off into the ferns.
||Yay! Her first appearance! Seriously, pay her no mind. She just doesn't know how to have fun. ;D||

Aiyana panted heavily trying to keep up with the beta. She could hear the pawsteps behind her grow distant as well. As they continued she noticed Cora avoid getting hit before stalking off.
'Come on! That the best you got?' Aiyana smirked but her pace had slowed down since they had started. She could see Natasha stagger a bit as well. She clamped her orbs shut for a moment and then opened them again. "I'm not sure we should....." Aiyana's voice trailed off as she was smacked in the face by a fern. Somewhat stunned and surprised, Aiyana's leg let out underneath her sending her flying to the ground. Hitting the ground with a thud, her body slid a little ways in the dirt before stopping. She flinched and slightly whimpered. Her entire side seemed to throb with pain. I'm such a moron.

Zephos could faintly hear Natasha before him, but he was falling behind. As he rushed past Cora, he grinned to her and offered for her to join, but she seemed to have nothing of it. He shook off her mean gestures and rushed on.
After having trotted for a bit, he ran on, throwing heed to the wind. With every step, her grew faster, and he soon passed up Frost in no time. Throwing her a cheery glance, he continued on until a log tripped him up. Falling before it, he heaved, having the wind knocked out of him. He rolled over yo find his own packmate, Aiyanna, laying there in pain.
Laughing an almost in audable laugh, he realized that the 'log' was Aiyanna! He giggled a bit and tried his best to say 'Are you okay?' Though it seemed more like 'Er joo kay?'

Grey fur rose and fell rhythmically, like waves on a moonlit sea. Frost felt nothing but pure exhilaration as she raced along. Right now, with the wind in her face and a song in her heart, she felt like she could run forever.
The she-wolf's paws dug into the ground and she skidded abruptly to a halt. Zephos and Aiyana were lying on the trail in front of her, both looking winded. The Healer was immediately upon them, sniffing them both over and checking for injuries. The Alpha appeared to be okay, except for being a little winded. The Fighter, however, whimpered when she tried to move. "Where does it hurt?" Frost asked her, concerned.

((Let's up some drama,  ))
Aiyana whimpered even more as Zephos tripped over her. Dang. Her side had started to feel normal but her leg, on the other hand, throbbed with pain. She clamped her orbs shut and she attempted to get up but the pain brought her right back down. "Wonderful." She growled through clenched fangs.
Then she coud hear Frost approach and sniff Zephos. Zephos had come out without any problems. She felt like snapping at him but decided against it. "It's this front leg." She whined. Please say it isn't broken, that's all I need. [/color] |

Sencing the seriousness of the scene, he stood up, all remenence of the fall gone, and looked over at Frost, who was eagerly watching as Aiyana stumbled on a leg. He waited for no reply. His cool head kept him quiet and ready, and in a flash he was running off. This is what being an Alpha ment, helping and keeping everyone safe, and in a way he had failed, but in a nother way he was doing the best he could. He howled to his Beta seriously, calling off the chase.
He ran after her and, with the speed of only an alpha, he caught up with Natasha. Calling out for her commandingly. "Aiyana's hurt, we need to find help for Frost, come back" He ordered as he rushed back, not wiating up.

Natasha had barely noticed Cora as she flew by. Her paws hit the ground like pistons as she raced through the forest. She was so absorbed in what she was doing, she no longer noticed that no one was following her. She jerked back to reality as she heard Zephos next to her. Blinking in alarm, she skidded to a halt and did an abrupt about-face which sent her charging back to Frost and Aiyana. SHe finally realized how tired she was as she stumbled to a stop in front of the other wolves. "What... happened?" She panted between gasps of air. Her legs shook and she sat down before she fell over.ooc - Want a little drama?  A giant shadow stood motionless under a thick covering of ferns. Suddenly the shadow twitched and a dark Maotu seemed to form from the darkness. Flame-colored eyes blazed as a longinly farmiliar scent wafted through the fern fronds. Wolf. Silent as the shadow he impersonated, the large black and scarlet saber cat crept towards the scent source. He was so close. He heard their voiced from the other side of a small standing of pine trees. He parted his jaws and drew the scent over his glands again. There was four of them. And one was injured by the sound of it. The Kavari dug his bloodred claws into the ground to sto himself from pouncing on the group immediately. Wait. A voice told him in his head. Luckily, he was downwind.

Just as a warning, you can injur Zephos, but I don't want him dead. the most I will take is a lost eye or broken limb, no death, though. 
Zephos was clawing the ground in silent fear. He was worried and confused and somehow figured he had done this to her, though it was not the case, or was it? He was weary, but he would not sit down and take it. He had to do something. He wanted to ask Frost if she needed help, but she seemed as if she was engrossed in examaning Aiyanna.
He looked at Natasha, at first, his mind drifted to the fact that Aiyanna was injured was her fault, though his mind snapped out of its' scapegoating path. This could have easily happened anywhere. He looked at Frost, worried. "Perhaps we should get to the camp, so, maybe, I don't know," He waited for her reply, but finished it himself. "Nevermind."

"Your leg?" Frost asked, sniffing the wolf's limb gently. It looked okay to her, but as the sunset shaded towards night, there could have been any number of obvious signs that she could have missed in the darkness. "Do you think you can stand?"
I hope it isn't broken, she added silently. If it is, there'd be no easy way to get her back to the camp... She thought that it was probably just bruised, but there had been no mistaking the pain in Aiyana's voice.

((More drama! I'd prefer Aiyana wasn't killed but since she has no mate or family so I don't care. Unless someone here has any objections.))
Aiyana flinched slightly as she tried to stand. Her leg still hurt but the pain wasn't as bad as it was before. She managed to get to her paws with quite abit of effort. She had to keep most of her weight off of her paw though. Her auds perked on her dial as she thought she heard something moving not too far away. She slightly shook it off thinking it was just a bird or something else.
"I could probably make it a little over half the way to camp but we'll have to take it slow." |

Shukka froze, motionles as a statue of a great cat, when he saw the injured wolf's ears flick back as if she had heard him. He barely breathed as he watched, eyes riveted on the four wolves. Hie eyes smoldered inbloodlust, his eyes flashing with the farmiliar colors of fire. Now! He breathed to himself, and that's when he pounced.
Jaws gaping wide, he roared, his cry echoing around the fern forest and bouncing off of a few of the trees. He sprang out of his hiding spot with eye blurring speed, his three-inch-long scarlet claws outstreatched for the kill. His eyes were fixed on Aiyana as he snarled when the scent of wolf his his scent glands.
Natasha sat, still exhausted, as she watched the others. A wave of guilt washed over her as she realized that this was her fault. She hung her head, her ears flat against her skull.
Suddenly, her nose twitched as a odd yet farmiliar scent washed over her. Her head jerked up at the same time as she heard a deafening roar that made the hair stand up all along the back of her neck. Eyes widening in horror, she watched a massive Kavari spring out of the bushes... right at Aiyana. "NO!" She screamed, throwing herself in his way. She snapped at his throat, her eyes blazing with fury.
