Levi
Levi slowed, then burst forward, almost catching up to Silver. He was breathing heavily, and his paws were sore, but he was competitive. Levi stayed at her tail.

"Unfortunately, nothing can be done about the scarring with the extent of your wounds," he said, holding back a more snide reply; as entertaining as it would have been, it would certainly get him in trouble. He closed his eyes briefly, inhaling deeply, then exhaling quietly. He glanced over at Kali, feeling a small urge to ask about the upcoming war.

Silver
Her breath came in gasps and she tried to force more speed out of her legs, failing in the attempt. She scrambled over a fallen log and kept trying to push forward, despite reaching her body's limit.

Kali
She opened her eyes, exhaling softly, and said, "The scarring doesn't bother me. They carry memories of what I've done, as well as the lessons that came with them." A soft sigh escaped her and she blinked slowly as she looked down, realizing what she'd said. Her father had told her that years ago after she'd asked about one of his own scars; she remembered the day clearly, and a silent tear dripped down her face before she closed her eyes.

Levi
Levi slowed, tiring. He knew that they were almost to the lake. He bounded forwards, stumbling.

[Ammy2-56]

Silver
She tripped, nearly falling, but the spark within her still drove her forward. She gave a look to Levi and then gave a strong leap, the lake within sight.

AQUILA
Aquila lifted her head, tiredly. She had thought she'd heard a squirrel in the woods, and then realized that she was in the snow. It wasn't that she wanted to go home... no, it is not home anymore. She shook her head to free it of the monstrous thought. Never would she go back to the East, where the sun shined bright and warm on her back, creating a golden light through the leaves of the oak... she shook her head again, this time harder, and stood up. She dipped her head submissively and called out to no one in particular, "When's the next hunting patrol?"

Jade shrugged, "I don't know, that's why I asked you." she said, tilting her head a little.

AQUILA
Aquila sighed when she got no answer. She was new here. She wondered, could she slip out by herself for a hunt? She needed something to do. Her tail tucked under her haunches, she crept towards the exit of the camp.

Lagertha

Lagertha watched Reaper scare off the Porcupine and sighed, a tear rolled down her face. The spikes didn't just puncture the larger pad on her paw, they were embedded by at least an inch and a half. She begun weeping from her throat as blood trickled down. "I-I am sure it will be fine... things like this usually get rejected from the body quickly..." she kept her paw off of the ground, it'd be lethal if she put her paw down.. these spikes would go much deeper.

AQUILA

Her head as low as her tail, Aquila slipped out of the camp and breathed in fresh air. With it came the scent of an elk. Feeling guilty because she could not hunt it alone and could not tell other wolves or they would know she had gone out, she sniffed the air again. She could smell a hare towards the south. She focused on a shrub in front of her, pounced, and bit into warm flesh. The crunch of cracking bones sounded, and the savory meal's taste flooded into her mouth. East of here, where the sun glowed bright, wolves ate the prey that they caught. Aquila was pretty sure this was not how it worked here.

She stepped through the camp entrance, with no prey in her mouth and blood on her lips. Guilt started eating away at her stomach as a wolf from the East eats a hare.

Aquila slipped quickly into her sleeping place, and fell into a sleep after a while, in which was filled with nightmares.

Tumbling, Aquila ran from the Snowstar camp, and was chased by the vicious taunts of her pack mates.
"STEALER!"
"THIEF!"
"TRAITOR!"
STEALER, THIEF, TRAITOR, STEALER, THEIF, TRAITOR, STEALER, THEIF, TRAITOR... The voices danced around mockingly inside Aquila's head.
Suddenly the ground beneath her turned into ice. The ice was cracking... she was falling... the water turned into writhing snakes, drowning her in their mass. STEALER, THIEF, TRAITOR... The hisses came from all around her.
