Ebony suddenly skidded to a halt before she almost ran smack dab nose first into the prickly pear cactus that the roadrunner was hiding in.
"Dang it!" she grumbled, "So close."
She looked up at the roadrunner, "I'll get you next time." Then she dashed off to continue on her mission to get Amber, the Medicine Wolf.

(((Had to eat.)))
"She would be a good hunter, helpful bringing down deer," Phoenix said licking her face. "That is, if the game ever comes back."
~~~~~
Kitt grinned and nuzzled his mate. "See, nothing to worry about. You're both fine."

"She could do that," nodded Boost, "if she can get better. And from my accidental meeting with her, she's a very good fighter too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Allow me to worry a little bit," said Sapphire, returning the nuzzle and resting a paw on her tummy, "that's what mothers-to-be do, right?"
"Yes, I've got two pups of my own," said Amber, "Playful little pair. But I'll be here if you need me."
It was then that Ebony came in, skidding to a halt in front of Amber.
"Ebony, what are you doing here? What's the hurry?" asked Amber, looking at the black wolf with a little bit of concern.
"Ran... all the way... from Desert Sun Den... need your help... a wolf named Jenna is injured and sick..." Ebony panted from the exhaustion of the long run.
"Take a deep breath and calm down for a bit and rest," said Amber, "you won't be able to make the trip back if you don't. We'll go when you're well-rested."
Ebony panted and with her legs shaking, collapsed onto the floor of Amber's den. Amber came up with a wet leaf to place on Ebony's forehead to cool the wolf down.

"Thats good," Phoenix said. "Though I think it would hurt her chances joining the pack it if she attack her future leader."
Chase got what milk he could get from his mother and whimpered and mewed up at his father.
~~~~~
"Yeah," Kitt said. "But I don't want you to worry yourself sick. Thats what protective fathers-to-be do."

"She didn't know that I was the leader of the Desert Sun pack," said Boost, "I did happen to smell her first. She didn't attack me, I attacked her because I thought she was a threat to the pack, but I stopped when she mentioned Ebony's name."
He looked down at Chase, "I'm sorry, little guy. A mouse is all I can get these days."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I know," replied Sapphire, "You have been quite overprotective through all of this. I've never had a much more loving mate than you."

"Then if Ebony trusts her, she can't be all that bead. She's a good job of character." Phoenix said. "It's been a hard season; first poachers and now this shortage. Any fresh signs of game at all? We all can't survive on mice forever."
Chase pawed at his father and growled.
~~~~~
"And I couldn't have picked a better one." Kitt said offering sapphire a loving lick.

Ebony needed to rest badly. She was still a little undernourished, even after surviving the birth of her pups and was not about to have perfect health for a long while, so a long run wasn't really good for her right now. The Desert Sun pack needed to get the game to come back. But how was she going to do this?
Amber watched over the wolf, making sure that Ebony cooled down and got her rest. She had let Ebony rest in her sleeping chamber at the back of her den just to make sure that she got some peace and quiet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I know and I'm afraid that I might have to get the pack moving again if no prey returns soon," said Boost, then looked at Phoenix, "but with two nursing mothers in the pack, you and Ebony, I don't want to run the risk that you'll both collapse during the journey. Even Ebony herself can't take long journeys in her emaciated state."
He then looked down at Chase, "And I'm afraid for the cubs. They aren't ready."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"And I bet we'll be great parents," smiled Sapphire, as she lay down on the floor of her den, which was covered with a mound of leaves and tuffs of rabbit fur for her comfort.

"And I'm still worn from Chase's birth, no way ready to really move." Phoenix said picking Chase up and putting him between her paws. "Especially not Chase, he's to young to really travel. And then there's Sapph and Kitt."
~~~~~
"No doubt about that," Kitt said settling down next to her. "We've certainly had enough practice."

"Yeah, Sapph's just about close to having her pups," nodded Boost, laying down to rest beside Phoenix, "She's in no condition to travel. And Kitt's been really protective of her."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"With all the cub and pup-sitting we've been doing," smiled Sapphire, yawning, "I believe that."
She laid her head down on her front paws.

"You were the same way," Phoenix said. "You rarely left me unless it was for hunting or something to do with the pack."
~~~~~
Kitt looked at Sapphire. "Feeling worn out again? Shouldn't be much longer."

"True," nodded Boost, "I led most of the hunts, but sometimes let Ebs do it. She's quite good at the leadership thing."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I've been tired for awhile," replied Sapphire, "This pup wants to be born very soon. It's been giving me a bit of trouble lately."

"She is, must be a family trait." Phoenix grinned. "More than likely Chase is gonna be a great leader."
~~~~~
"Nix went through the same trouble," Kitt said. "It just wants to get right out."

"Yeah, if I start training him early enough," Boost agreed, looking at his son nestled in Phoenix's front paws, "but there's a pack heirachy. He has to work hard to rise to the top when he's older."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapphire winced a bit, digging her claws into the bedding, "Gah! Ow! Does it have to kick that hard? No wonder it wants out so badly."
(((((OOC: I'm thinking of making Sapphire go into labor... good or bad idea?)))))

" "He will," Phoenix said. "He's gonna have a lot of work ahead of him if he wants to be leader."
~~~~~
"Guess it's tired of being couped up." Kitt said. "Though it will be a few weeks before it'll be up on it's own."
(((Go on ahead.)))

((back! heh oooooooo0o this got interesting..... It was going a little TOO much about Jenna for a bit BUT lemme see....oh yeah, and Welcome Tai! ^_^....... Here's goes!))
Jenna laid in front of the den trying to keep herself concious enough to be ready to charge an on comming enemy. She relaxed her tired and achy muscles and began to let thoughts run in her mind. "What are you doing Jenna? This is not your pack.....oh, I wonder what they're doing with out me there..... I was just supposed to look for food, but that damn trap! ugh! I HATE poachers...... What am I to do now? I'm here, safe and invited in this foreign territory, but the rest of my pack, the West Mountain Pack is alone and without one their Alphas to guide them......*sigh* I suppose I should just hope they can handle themselves.....they're all strong large wolves, although, they might make the mistake of looking for me........oh no.....I hope they don't follow my scent here......*panicy voice* Oh please, please, PLEASE, do not follow me...... They have pups! *relaxes a bit* But, I tought them well enough to wait for me...... I've been gone longer then this, they'll be fine. As for this new pack....I'm not sure about the one called 'Boost' he seems weary of my presence.....Ebony is nice....I have yet to distrust her, plus I owe her my life.....*sigh* I shall see when I wake up..... if....I wake up." Blackness had engulfed Jenna's mind as she careened into a dream world of memories..... some good....some not so good......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A black nose lifted towards the sky, it's nostrils trying to soak up any scent on the wind..... A low howl filtered from a short distance away....It said I have made her scent.....
((I'm thinking of bringing in the rest of Jenna's pack now...... and I think it's a darn good idea for her to have her baby! ^_^ The more young the better! Jenna's pregnant....yet she doesn't know it yet lol...... Sorry it's so long....but I took it and ran with it lol))
