Trinity was actually shocked at Barrett's response. She slowly turned around to face him, looking him up and down in disbelief. None of the other puppies had ever called her beautiful. Only her parents, Lavender and Don, had ever said that she was pretty. And it hurt her in that place deep down, the aching part of her soul that longed for love and attention, to be recognised, to be acknowledged by others. She wanted to be respected, but so far, she had only been pushed away by everyone else. She hadn't shown her hurt over this, but it was there. A deep black void of pain that increased with intensity every time somebody avoided her or yelled at her - Rose especially. If anything, she was jealous of her big sister. Rose was pretty. Rose was talented. Rose had always been he favourite. Rose was respected and welcomed by everyone. Her eyes met Barrett's again as she sat down, unsure of what exactly she was going to say, but she was going to say something. She took a deep breath as if to calm herself, and a shy smile appeared on her white muzzle. "B-But you are good at something, Barrett. You're one of the bravest puppies I know! How could you think you're not good at anything? You're gonna be a fighter, and you're gonna be a good one. But me? Nothing. Maverick didn't even ask if I wanted to go with him. He left me here. As if i'm just...Worthless. As if i'll never be anything. The only thing i'll ever be is the pack drama queen or the pack flirt." She lowered her head with a dejected sigh, shifting her paws. "I just wanna be noticed...And the only dogs who have even considered my feelings are Mummy, Daddy, and you...But Daddy's gone. And he's never coming back...Ever." This statement sounded more painful to say than anything else, and she slowly stood up again, taking a few steps back to take up the offer of the walk in the barn. "...I don't know what to do...."

Barrett laughed a little. "Some might say me being brave is stupid, after all look what being brave got me, stuck up in here." He looked at his paws as she said something about Maverick not really noticing her. He couldn't deny that Maverick had not asked her to go on any of the patrols, but then Trinity hadn't really asked. He figured he wouldn't point that out though and instead shrugged. "Maverick has had a lot on his mind lately it seems, being cooped up I notice these things, perhaps he is just to worried about something that he forgets things. After all he never mentioned me ether, didn't even notice I was missing." The wolf mix pup walked with her his steps slower and he had a limp from the cast being on his leg. As they got into the sunshine he smiled, then a cloud covered it and he looked at Trinity. He had to admit he felt bad for the young fae. No one ever did consider there might be some other reason for her to act the way she did. She just wanted someone to talk to and be friends with, isn't that what everyone wanted? "Don't worry Trin, you'll find something to do, I know you will." Barrett thought a moment and then spoke again. "Maybe you are meant to be something more then a hunter, healer or fighter. Maybe you are meant for something greater." He nudged her playfully. "For now though lets just have a little fun." He started around the barn and glanced over his shoulder. "You coming?" He said with a small smile.

((I knew there was something more to Trinity! Rose just wouldn't accept it :D

{ Wow. All the pups are making friends and crushes and Ica's just like
That's a nice bug. I like that bug.

And just an FYI I had WAAAAAYY too much fun playing Chico (AKA prepare for le long post)
And yes it was necessary to give Chico an evil monologue just roll with it please. XD
I figured he had to go out with a bang.... :3 }

Chico whirled around to face the shouting Annie, a cold smile on his lips. Oh yes, the anger still raged in his brown eyes, but now that the initial burst was over, here he was, cold and calculating. He had been designed as a savage beast, oh yes, but he had evolved in his time in confinement. Now it was all about fear; the terrified expression in a prey's eyes before the kill. He wanted to draw that out to Annie's breaking point. Hard as Lucky tried inside, the old programming added to Chico's resolve was an unmovable wall. Chico stalked closer to Annie, step by slow step, his cold eyes cutting into her. "'Stop!' You cry, yet I have no reason to listen to you." He had closed the distance slowly, halfway now. "You are a pathetic pregnant fae who is the reason I've had to submit. Love. It's a stupid thing, yet so powerful. But oh, even love has to bow to anger at some point. And that time is now!" Quick as lightning, Chico pounced on her, forcing her on her back into the grass, his snarling muzzle in her face. "It would be so easy to snap your neck right now." He growled in her ear, but then a smile was back on his lips, one that bore no good. "But you don't deserve such mercy." Lucky's body was strong, and Annie was immobilized by her weighted stomach, so he hardly had to fear that she would fight back. His eyes looked deeply into hers, but not the loving gaze that Lucky held. No, these colder eyes were angered and searching. They never left hers, as to taste the sweet fear in them, as he slowly drew a pointed claw across her swollen stomach, slowly increasing in pressure as it went down. "First yours and Lucky's precious spawn. Then you, then anyone who crosses my path." Now his claw was pressing hard now with mounting rage, a shallow cut barely skin-deep, but still it drew a thin trickle of blood. He leaned his head close to hers, an evil smile on his face. "You are wrong, as you always have been. I have a place. And that's in control, and that's with you gone so nothing can unseat me again. With everything Lucky ever loved gone, he'll never put up a fight again." He lifted his claw off her belly and leaned his head back, paw raised to slash at her stomach. He grinned triumphantly down at her. "Tell me Annie, how does it feel to be trapped?"
Just when all hope seemed lost, Chico was thrown back as if by some invisible blow. He howled in anger as he scrambled to his feet, and his face contorted to a mix of agony and rage as Lucky grappled for control. But it was too much, even for the programming, even for Chico. They had both underestimated what lengths love could drive you to. And suddenly, Lucky was back, blinking in blank astonishment. His body picked up to where Lucky's mind was and his heart pounded loudly from his fear for Annie, and tears welled in his eyes. He looked to his mate whom he had come so close to killing, along with his sons and/or daughters, turned away, and ran.
Ran from the pack, ran from Annie, and tried to run from himself of all things. 'How could you?! How... How could I?' Tears streaming down his cheeks, he ran blindly through the forest at his top speed, not knowing where he was going or caring. He just knew he had to get away from Annie, however much it tore his heart out.
He didn't know how long he ran, but he eventually stopped by a river, panting heavily. He looked down at his tear-stained reflection and shook his head wildly, but the view of his paws that he turned his gaze to was no better. "I....I almost killed her." He whispered to himself, his heart a heavy black stone. "I-I can't go back...." He realized, lifting his gaze back to the water. "If I do, I'll end up killing them someday. They....They'll be happier without me." He felt deep down that though the last part was most likely a lie, the rest had to be true. This was the end of the line.... Wherever here was.

Lavender nodded with approval as her elder daughter listed off the herbs. Yes, there was little left to teach her, and she would be a fine healer one day, perhaps not too far in the future. Though, with a glance to the pup that was obviously interested in other things besides herbs, it seemed that in the near future Rose would be preoccupied with other things. She smiled softly at the thought, but when Gunner's quiet song reached her sharp ears, she swung her long tail to gently swat the teasing pup's backside. But beyond that she did not address it, and instead answered his question. "We're a bit low on Marigold and Poppy as well, and the blooms will be dying soon, so keep a sharp eye out for them. Also, any large, flexible leaves will be helpful as future bandages." She answers, wanting to give him something to do. She knew he felt only secondary to Rose, which he by all means was, yet she wanted to change that and make him just as capable. Then Lav directed her attention to Rise again, and she smiled and nodded. "Yes, that'd be excellent dear." Her warm brown eyes flicked to Ranger, who seemed to be intent on looking the other way. "How about you take Ranger with you? Make some use of him before he runs off on his rabbit assignment." She said with a soft chuckle, nodding her head in the direction of the plant as permission for them to go on. Yes, little opportunities seemed to constantly present themselves.....

Icarus looked up to the leader, as always with a sense of respect and wonderment. Ica knew he wasn't a strong leader, and he didn't know the first thing about fighting nor wanted to, and he was hopeless at herbs, but hopefully he could finally become of some use as a hunter. He had spent hours studying fish and their movements, so when Maverick called him up to try and gave him some vague instructions, he leapt up at the chance, determined to prove himself, and that all those hours doing "nothing" had payed off. He crept into the stream and positioned himself at a certain angle so his shadow didn't fall over the water and frighten the fish away. He had observed that they were very light-sensitive, and were quick to flee at sudden darkness. With the slow movements of a mantis, he raised one paw over the water, so gradual to the fish it might seem to be a plant bending low over the surface. He held this position for a few minutes, eyes focused, and with amazing patience. But, quick as a hawk swooping down on prey, as soon as the silvery scales were in view his paw swooped down and scooped up the fish, the claws hooking right into the gills, and by no coincidence. The fish firmly placed but flailing on his paw, he brought it to his muzzle and but down, and in a moment it was still. Yet Ica waited several more moments before dropping his paw and wading back to shore with the fish in his muzzle, knowing full and well about the "play dead" tactic. It wasn't only used by possums. He dropped the trophy at Maverick's paws, his brown eyes looking up at the leader, his tail wagging with happy triumph. He glanced at Ruger and Ace and flashed them a proud smile as well, but then turned his attention back to the leader for approval. Wasted hours indeed!

Rose felt her cheeks immediately flood with red at Gunner's teasing, and even though she was mollified a little when Lavender chastised him with her fluffy tail, she still looked toward the floor and fought the urge to facepaw with embarrassment. She looked over at Ranger, but he seemed to be occupied by a falling leaf... Or maybe not, since his body language wasn't intent on the leaf at all. Hmm...
Rose tried not to let herself get distracted (again) and shook her head. She looked behind her, quickly poking her tongue out at Gunner playfully before listening to Lavender remind them of what other herbs they were missing. As soon as the lead healer gave her permission to go and check the elderberries, her lightly furred tail started to wag, and she stood a little straighter. Her eyes flickered to Ranger hopefully, and she suddenly felt silly and shy. The group moved on ahead of them, and Rose took a few hesitant steps toward him and the elderberry tree. She still felt a little awkward about the flirty way she'd acted before, and still didn't quite know what to do with the butterflies that insisted on living inside her belly, but she made herself lift her gaze from the ground.
Would... would you mind coming along? she woofed haltingly, her voice soft and small as she looked earnestly into the german shepherd cross's eyes. I mean, I'd like you to... Her voice trailed off as her cheeks started to flush with red again.

The blue merle pup looked around, seeing Deryn. He blushed slightly, not being used to have the females, other than his mother. He lapped up some water, wondering if she would come closer. When he turned his one blue, and one brown eye to look at Deryn again, water dripped from his cheek. Should he start a conforsation? Or should he wait for her to? Rugar sighed, turning fully around to see the pretty female. Hello.... My name is Rugar, but everyone calls me Roo. He said gently, bringing his paw up to clean his chin free of the water.


The older blue merle pup looked up at Checkers. This wolf hybrid expected him to know everything?! How was he supposed to know?! No one had ever told him this, but to save him trouble, he would answer it anyways. We walk around the border to check to make sure? He said, very unsure, so putting it into a question form. Pistol awaited Checker`s answer again.



The kishu sighed. I would love to, but I must get back to my group. She said, smiling a little to Red before turning away and running bck to her group. She sat down, listening to whom ever the leader of this group was. Throughout several talkings of other pups, she was restless, wanting to find Red again and be with him for awhile.

Maverick watched in a little bit of shock as Ica caught and killed a fish the first time. He then smiled as the young brute came over and laid the fish at his feet. "Very good Ica, I have never seen a pup do that the first time. Your an amazing hunter." He had no doubt that Ica would make a good hunter in the pack once he was older. Maverick then thought about his son, Ranger, his only son. Ranger would make a very good Alpha, perhaps some days he would doubt himself but everyone did. Maverick then looked at his daughter, Ace. "Why don't you give it a try now Ace, don't worry if you don't do as well as Ica, this isn't about winning or losing, we just want to catch something." He knew his daughter was a bit competitive sometimes but she was sweet and he wouldn't be mad if she didn't catch a fish the first time around.

Ranger turned his head back as soon as Lavender mentioned his name. He heard the comment about hunting a rabbit, good thing Lavender had said something because he had forgotten about that. He smiled and his gaze went to Rose who looked rather shy. When she spoke it wasn't like she normally did and he wondered about the slight blush that colored her cheeks as she spoke. Of course he was going, and he wanted to go all the more when she said she wanted him to go with her. "How could I say I wont come to a fae like you?" He said giving her a rather charming smile. His tail wagging just slightly he padded along with Rose toward the tree. He looked at the elderberry and then back at Rose. She did look rather cute when she was acting all shy, and something about hwo she was acting made him want to see her like it more. And would he get her to giggle again? He quickly pushed the thoughts away, what was he thinking? He cleared his throat. "So, uh, what is Elderberry good for?" He asked not wanting to make her feel weird with him watching her. He focused on the ground in front of him and tried his best not to glance her way. Things suddenly seemed very complicated at the moment. He really did want to know about the Elderberry though, whenever he was with Rose suddenly herbs were the most interesting thing in the world to him. As he had noted before when Rose spoke about anything he got excited and interested. Why she could talk about mud and he would think it was amazing. Of course these feelings were strange and scared Ranger just a little. Was something wrong with him? Perhaps he should talk to Lavender about it later.

Checkers smiled a little. "Well sort of, after checking the border we mark it with our scent so that it is fresh. That warns any animals that it is our territory and that crossing into it may result in them never leaving it." He started moving his tail high and his nose in the air as he walked along the border. He caught the scent of a fox as they came to the other side of the border and he turned to the pups. "Can anyone tell me if there is any scent that does not belong here?" He said wanting the pups to know which scents to look for and what was okay. He watched then waiting for any of the pups answer the question. He glanced around and seeing they were safe he settled down and looked from pup to pup. Surely one of them would scent the fox and tell him that was the scent out of place.

Annie lost her breath a moment as Chico knocked her to the ground. She felt the pups move in her stomach as if they knew the danger. She wasn't scared of Chico, not for her life anyway, but she was scared for the pups lives. They didn't deserve this, they shouldn't die. "Chico. stop!" She tried to move but couldn't his weight was to much for her when she was heavy with pups. She closed her eyes not wanting to see the look in her mates eyes as the hateful side of him ended her and her pups lives. But just before Chico could do anything he threw himself back. She scrambled to her feet and looked to see Lucky had regained some control. "Lucky?" She said stepping toward him. But Lucky turned and ran. He was running to fast for her, she couldn't catch up. She felt tears sting her eyes. "Lucky!" She called but he did not answer. She stopped and felt sobs rack her body. Was he gone? Now that he had seen what he could do was he gone? Would her pups not have a father?

Amber & Tom

The female Husky lifted her head as she heard a noise, one she was not used to. She lifted her head and the black collar she was wearing shifted a little. She looked to her human, Tom, and let out a sharp bark waking him from his sleep. She then got up and padded into the woods knowing Tom would fallow. She sniffed and felt her lips curl in a growl at the scent of another dog. "Easy girl." She heard Tom say. Then she saw him, a strange looking golden dog who looked scared and angry at the same time. She stepped in front of him and Tom bent down. "Hi there boy, what are you doing out here?" Tom asked holding out his hand to the dog. Amber rolled her eyes. "You better answer my owners question."She said her voice leaving no room to not speak.

Lucky hadn't even noticed the fae and the man arrive, but when Tom addressed him his head snapped up, his body going rigid. Every instinct told him to run now, but where would he run? He had nowhere to go now. His time with William, who had been constantly manipulating him in horrible ways, made him more uneasy around humans than most dogs. He blinked blankly at the human, who appeared so kind, then looked to the stern voice of Amber. The collar said she was a pet, but weren't dogs hated by humans now? He felt extremely confused, but he looked to the hand and gave it a tentative sniff, then but his paw in it like an obedient dog told to shake. It took him a moment to find his voice, but finally he managed to choke out some words. "It's.... a bit of a long story. But I've left my family and I can't go back, or else I might hurt them.... The experiments that the human William did on me have turned me into a monster." There was so much more to it than that, but that was the best he could explain it. And he wasn't sure who he was talking to exactly either. The husky had implied that he should talk directly to her owner, but how could a human understand him? William hadn't made him bilingual or anything.... Or maybe she simply meant for him to explain to her. Either way he wasn't sure, and he casts his brown eyes back and forth between them uncertainly.

Lavender couldn't help but glance over her shoulder to the two pups. She was more than happy to give the two some time together, while her and Gunner went to gather.(Heh, wordplay) She glanced down to the last one remaining of her little group and offered him a warm smile. "Now don't think I'm giving the two of them any special treatment. Here, now you and I can have some special training together!" She said brightly. "Now, I know you feel quite secondary to Rose, but she's older and seems to pick up on things quicker. Don't worry, you'll be an amazing healer in time." Lavender told him with a warm smile. She liked to treat all the pups as if they were her own, and was more than willing to spend some extra time with him.

Ica's eyes flooded with pride, and he stood up just a bit straighter and prouder. The praise was something he enjoyed, though he reminded himself not to get a big head about it. The little brute grinned and nodded, stepping aside politely. Observing nature had always been one of his favorite pass times, and now he could actually put it to use to benefit the pack! He thought about the times when some of the other pups laughed at him for being in the woods all day long, doing nothing but walking and watching. He had sure shown them wrong today, and he would continue to prove himself. He glanced to Ace as her father said it was her turn now and to not expect to do as well as Icarus. Strangely he didn't feel pride at that. He felt a bit guilty and a show off, but he tried not to let that show and gave Ace a large smile for encouragement.
