The Gathering Area

I've been doing great! And you? I yip excitedly to my old friend.

Dawn held in a laugh, seeing the way her two friends reacted. She then looks over at the leader, then sniffed. She smelled a familiar scent. The black and white wolf looked around, then spotted someone she knew. "Snowflower!" She yipped, getting up from where she sat. She hadn't seen her friend for a long while and wondered how her and Fire were. Dawn then looked over at Soul as she said that there was someone else here. Dawn glanced around, then spotted the white pup. "Hey there," She said, "Whats your name?

I whipped my head to look at yet another wolf who had now noticed my presence another female. I connected eyes with the black and white fae and managed to stutter out "A-Aleu....I was just telling your friend here I could leave I just don't want any trouble" again I found myself trying to back up against the tree but I made sure to keep my footing on the branch.

Artemis continued sitting down on her rock, and smiled at the pack. She was happy that so many of the members and the clans got along so well...

Soul's head turned and her tail swayed, she hadn't been around pups since she was a pup herself. She felt Dawn's presences come up beside her as they both looked up the tall tree. "What are you doing up there anyway?" Soul asked curious, why was a pup out here alone?

A confused look crossed my face as she questioned why I was up in the tree. "I wasn't sure if your pack was....friendly or not" I explained but still made no move out of the tree. I made no mention of the fact that I had been watching the pack for a few weeks figuring that would make the wolves uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you" the white wolf replied, "...well I won't anyway..." she mumbled under her breath. Soul sat down, trying not to look so big so that she wouldn't look aggressive or dominant.

I paused for a moment wondering if I should go down there 'What could be the harm?' though the last part of her sentence had unnerved me slightly. I had realized in my time watching them that this pack seemed to be divided into two clans. I started jumping from branch to branch to get back down almost falling once but quickly catching myself before I could fall. As I jumped onto the last branch I looked around and then after a minute jumped off. I was just opposite the she wolf now but I was quite a distance away enough so that if I did need to run I could. I felt the urge to scratch my normally pure white fur that had collected mud throughout it during my plan to sneak in but I resisted the urge.

Artemis looks around, and noticed a few wolves talking to... a bird? She couldn't tell. Why would be talking to a bird... if not up a tree? She stood up. She wanted to know what was going on.

(Just a heads up guys I'm out of the tree xD)

I noticed more and more wolves taking notice of me. Well that diminishes pretty much any hope I had of escaping. I felt myself back up just a few paw steps just in case.

Soul watched the little bundle of white climb down the tree then finally rest her paws onto the ground. "What's your name again, kid?" Soul said to the young pup, repeating what Dawn had said a minute or two ago. "And what are you doing out here alone?" she added, finally getting the words out of her head.

I looked around me making sure no one was approaching or stalking from behind. "Aleu" I answered more calmly then I had previously though I ignored the wolfs second question choosing instead to remain silent.

"Dawn!"Snowflower exclaimed in surprise. "Howareyou?Howhaveyoubeen?"she said in one breath.

Artemis walked towards the spot Forgotten Soul was in, and that's when she saw it. A pup. What was a pup doing here all alone? She sat down next to the white-pelted fae [FS].

Feeling the presence of yet another wolf, the scent told Soul it was their leader. "My name's Soul..." the white wolf replied then glanced at Artemis then back at the pup. "And this is our leader, Artemis" Soul added.

Dawn smiled as the pup told her what her name was. "Nice to meet you Aleu." She said, nodding to the pup. She listened as Soul said that they weren't going to hurt Aleu. The black and white wolf watched the pup climb down the tree and smiled. She then perked her ears as she hears Snowflower. "I've been good!" Dawn says, turning around to look at her friend.[ "How have you been?" She asked. She then looks back at the pup feeling the presence of another wolf. She looked over to see Artemis sitting besides Soul. Dawn then looked back to the pup, remembering that she has yet to say her name. "Names Dawn." She says, nodding at the Aleu.

Artemis smiled at the pup as Forgotten Soul introduced her. "Nice to meet you," she said, not knowing what else to say.

I just nodded at all the wolves excluding the Alpha. When my gaze met hers I bowed my head in respect. I was so overwhelmed there was so much going on and so many wolves had noticed my presence I was unsure of what to do.

"Why is such a young pup out here all alone?" Art asked, the first time in her life feeling compassion for a young one. No one in the Loner Gang had ever cared about the pups. In fact, she was surprised she lived through her entire puphood herself.

I twitch my head upwad as Radar glances down at me, catching his eye with a puzzled expression. The word 'Aleu' hits my ears, and I assumethat is the pups name. I shrug, batting Radar playfully with my tail while standing up to trot over to her. When I reah her, my friends conversation also comes. Hi, I'm Breeze. I say, feeling a bit left out and with the feeling that the pup should know my name.

Soul watched as more and more of the pack coming over to greet the young pup named Aleu. She smiled in much relief as all those greetings were friendly, so far. Soul had a huge soft spot for pups which didn't make sense because she hadn't met many pups at all. But that didn't matter now, she was just relaxed that there was no fighting between anyone right now.

I backed up farther putting even more distance between me and this pack of wolves who were growing in number. I nodded as the newer ones introduced themselves "Nice to meet you" I said quietly. I heard the question I had ignored earlier come up again but this time it was asked by the Alpha. I felt like running the intense urge inside me was hard to fight but I didn't even try to disguise it. I knew I looked ready to run and I was. "What is any wolf doing alone? searching for a home" I answered her question though it was not exactly what she asked I knew how to weasel my way out of things if need be.
