Finding the Sun (Canine RP)

[bearcups]

Torka stared at Anwell in disbelief, never had he heard of Ayet making a bad decision. But, Anwell was wise and he knew to believe him. "I promise... but, incase you do leave.." He leaned forward and dipped his head, nuzzling the wolf's neck and chin. "I'll miss you, you know." He smiled, pulling one ear back.

"Thank you, my young friend," Anwell smiled back at Torka, giving him a nuzzle as well.
"I, myself, do not want to leave. But if Ayet wishes to put us in danger like this I'm afraid I have no choice. If he makes one bad descision he's sure to do it again," Anwell whispered once more to Torka.
He looked around for a little while, and sighed. "I'm going to think about a way to escape. Remember our promise, Torka." He said to the wolf, before slinking into his small den.

Torka pulled back both ears as Anwell nuzzled him, perking his ears again when Anwell started to dissapear into his den. "Don't worry, Sir, I won't forget." He looked down the hole of the den, then looked at Ayet and Toko. He trotted along the lines of the forest and lay down under a tree - furthest away from the Alpha and Beta wolves. "I hope Demon swallows the mouse." He mumbled bitterly.

Demon stared up at River and growled, protecting his prey, thinking the female just wanted to eat it herself. "Go catch your own!" he growled lowly. Swiping a paw over Chee's head and making her roll onto her back as he lean't down and got ready to eat her.

'Hey, that mouse is Chee and Demons gonna eat her...' Torka remembered playing a few times with Chee when he was little - Well, smaller than he is now - and got up. He bristed his hackles, raised his tail and charged Demons side - aiming to send the older, larger wolf sprawling onto the ground and away from Chee. He bared his teeth and pulled back his ears, lifting his tail further and bristling it too. "Leave the mouse alone, Demon." He growled bitterly between clenched teeth.

(If Demon was thrown from Torka's charge:) River leaped on top of Demon and bit down on his throat not hard enough to kill him, just enough that he was restrained from getting up and eating Chee. With her mouth full of Demons fur she growled out "I'm sorry Demon this is for your own good. Stay down." She said but with all of his fur in her mouth sounded more like "Mmm rryy Eemmnn ish or r n ood. rraay owwn." She was glad that Torka took a stand with her for trying to save Chee, and liked him more for it.

(If Demon was not thrown from Torka's charge:)With Torka's charge River hoped Demon would be distracted enough to focus on him and not her. Taking her chances knowing Demon would attack her and it would hurt a lot. River swiped Chee with her paw and placed her into her mouth. She hoped Chee realized that she was trying to save her and not eat her. With Chee in her mouth she ran over to Ayet for protection. If Demon didn't hear Torkra and her say it was Chee if he was still thinking it was a regular mouse he was going to surly be very mad that River stole his prey.

((I hope that's not confusing giving 2 possible outcomes for River.))

Toko looked up from where his head was bent low beside Ayet's and watched the clashing scene unfold in front of them. He narrowed his eyes as he saw his apprentice in the mix. "Torka, what are you doing?" he demanded, "You have no experience and there you are charging at an older wolf? Get back here!" His mouth was pulled back at the rashness of Torka's decisions. He would have a lot to learn, and Toko hoped that embarassing him this small amount would teach him his lesson. "As for the rest of you," he continued, glancing back at Ayet before going on, "Demon, there's a reason that mouse was on Ayet's back. With all the prey in the Sun-forsaken land, you just had to pick that mouse? Put it back. I don't care whether it's Chee or not, but put it back." He then glared at all the other wolves, speaking slowly and firmly, "We. Are. A. Pack. We don't turn on each other like that. And that goes for all of you."

[bearcups]

Torka flinched and lowered his head, he pulled back his ears and suddenly became greatfull that his dark fur was able to hide the pink of his skin, red with embarressment. He sauntered over to Toko and licked at the adults chin, crouched, wagging his tail slowly. "Im sorry, sir."

[apache~]

Ayet opened his mouth to growl a threat at Demon, but it seemed Toko, River, and Torka had done enough. He felt a cold tingle, like light feathers, running down his spine as he heard Toko say, "I don't care whether it's Chee or not, but put it back." His ears pressed back against his skull, and he leaned forward, whispering to Demon, "There is something I must explain. Now, spit out Chee, and sit patiently while I explain to the whole pack what exactly is going on." He said, before turning to the rest of the pack. A small, weak part of him hoped that Demon would swallow her, and release this burden from his shoulders. But he knew that would be the weak way out, and he would be a coward for hoping that would happen. This was his pack mate, not a worthless demon! Sighing, Ayet turned to the pack, and said in a loud voice, "Wolves of Sawtooth pack, something terrible has been discovered." Taking a deep breath, he continued, a tinge of sorrow and pain in his voice that he could not manage to hide.

"Death has taken one of us. Chee, our beloved tracker, has been found to be a demon." Closing his eyes, he waited for the howls of dismay to end. "It is hard to believe, but it is true. Chee has found that she possesses the power to transform into other animals, such as the mouse that was on my back. Anwell and I came upon her in the forest..." Taking another shaky breath, he continued. "For once, I am torn. I do not know what the right choice is, to banish Chee so that we will not be at risk, or to keep her here, as a member of the Sawtooth pack. From what she has told me, she is only half demon. The other half of her is a member of our pack; part of our family." Bringing his eyes to his paws, his voice failed him for a few moments, and he silently prayed that he was saying the right thing. "As I said to Toko; sometimes there is no right answer to the riddles Death throws at us. But we must do what we think is right. I will consider both sides, and come back to you all with my decision shortly." With one last look at the wolves before him, Ayet walked off to a place by the lake, where no one else was gathered, and looked down in the water, trying hard to make up his mind.

"It's okay, just don't be so stupid next time," Toko half-growled as Ayet finished. Then, seeing his friend pad away to sit by himself, Toko came up with an impromptu assignment. "You and I are going to make sure nobody gets near Ayet until he makes his decision, okay?" he said, already padding over to the far side of where Ayet was, giving him room to think, but in a position so that he could prevent the others from interrupting the leader's thoughts. Speaking of, Toko's thoughts were in a bundle. He didn't know what to make of the situation. Personally, he would have decided to kick Chee out of the pack. The whole point of their mission was to find the Sun and resist Death. Embracing this demon into the back as if all was normal would not go well with the other wolves, and did not flow with the ideas that Ayet had about Sun. On the other paw however, Toko knew that Ayet could really relate to Chee's predicament because Ayet himself was in that situation many years ago when he wanted to join the pack. Toko sighed as these thoughts buzzed through his mind and he layed down for the wait, his head on his paws.
