The Packs of Atherlos (CS Dog RP)(Closed)

[red october]

For a moment, Pangaea gazed out the the Moonchaser dogs; but then forced her curiosity down and turned back to Heartbreak. "Dare? She's in her den resting, still; I believe..." she said, lashing her tail as concern darkened her features. "I haven't heard anything from Julie, though."
The Beta got to her paws quickly, and locked fearful blue eyes on her companion. "Do you think ... ? I need to check on her. Now." She could not explain the source of the urgency clouding her mind; but it was there, and it was strong. Frightened and apprehensive, Pan moved slightly closer to the male, seeking comfort. "Would you ... come with me? Please?"

Honey bounded a few feet ahead of her mother and Chrest in happy enticipation. Azura padded beside the male matching him step for step. "So I was thinking of going around the river. THat way Honey can learn to fish as well as hunt.", said the Love-Keeper.

Soothsayer waited for a reply.

"Of course." Heartbreak said, almost automatically. He could sense something was wrong, or at least urgent. He had thought the Alpha was perfectly healthy, just choosing not to speak to the rest of them. That went to show how much he paid attention to his leaders. Pan was the first person of status he had ever had a true conversation with, he had always been sceptical of those in power, it corrupted people changing them from who they were were, Pan was different though, at least he hoped so. She seemed, natural so the speak, not some rigged commander used to barking orders and living by fear or the knowledge of her status. Almost instinctively he brushed his muzzle up against her cheek, trying to calm her down a little. "I'm sure nothing's wrong." he said gently, not using the cold, hard tone he used with most people.

[Pan and Heartbreak act so differently around each other compared to the way they act around everyone else. <3]

Pangaea leaned slightly into his touch, closing her eyes for a brief moment. Everything was so very right, then; and that small part of her that wished for her to be normal, to not have these responsibilites, ached more than ever. "Thank you," she whispered into his fur, voice still shakey, but growing stronger. She moved away from him, then, shivering slightly at the loss of his warmth. If only, if only.
Correcting her posture; straight ears, raised head, tail held high; she padded away in the direction of her Luna's den, hoping that her friend would follow. She wouldn't risk appearing to be anything but strong in front of these others dogs, as it didn't take much for allied packs to turn against each other. Please be alright.

Heartbreak followed along behind Pan, he hated to say it but the Alpha didn't want much to him. He had met her once when he joined the pack but he hadn't seen her since. He was grateful for her letting him join the pack and giving him a moderately safe home. He stuck close to Pan's side as they neared the Luna's den. His fur nearly brushed against her. He usually didn't like being near people but Pan was different, everything about her was different. "Want me to take a look first?" he knew it was a stupid question to ask but she seemed far more worried about the Luna than him.

{Sorry if I made ya'll think I was abandoning you, it's not my fault, my dad took my internet away from me and it took me awhile to get him to return it. Anyway, back to RP-ing.}

"Sounds like a good idea." Chrest replied, nodding his head in acknowledgement to Azura. "Just make sure that you don't teach her too close to any of the pack's borders, we don't want to start a fight that we can't win." He said.

[It's fine; 'glad to have you back. :3]

As they walked, Pangaea found solace in Heartbreak's presence. She was more than just a little suprised at how he calmed her just be being there. She had been worried that by being close to another, she would become weak. Rather, he made her stronger.
Upon arriving at the den, she shook her head in the negative at his question. "No. I was close to her, and am her successor; I have to do this myself. Wait out here, please." The beta smiled gently at him, and then turned and crossed the short distance to the den's entrance.
Even before entering or calling out to the alpha, she knew what she would find. There was no sound, not of breathing or coughing or snoring; and the scent of death was in the air. "... Luna?" she called softly, daring to poke her head inside. The only response she got was the frantic pounding of her own heart.

Heartbreak waited silently about a meter away from the den. He dreaded what Pan would find inside, a dead Alpha would come as a shock to the pack, it wasn't the news you wanted to tell in front of another pack. His hair hung over his face as he waited silently. He had never found himself worried about what other people might think of a tragedy. He had never let himself get attached to people, because people got hurt and to be attached to a large group made a bigger chance of hurting yourself. Never the less, he found himself worried about the packs reaction, if they would take Pan as their leader, how they would handle Dare's death.

Pan took a deep breath and entered her alpha's den. It was as it had always been; slightly dark, dust dancing in the thin ray of sunshine that snuck through an unpatched hole in the wall. There was, however, no voice to greet her; no orders barked or praises spoken. Silently, the beta padded over to the other female and lightly touched her nose to her fallen Luna's side. After murmuring a few prayers she turned and quickly strode from the den. NoNoNoNoNo ...
Without pause, Pangaea crossed the distance between herself and Heartbreak. Shivering, she lowered her head and rested it against his chest, burying her face in his fur as she closed her eyes tightly. This isn't right, she's suppossed to be here, she's suppossed to teach me, I can't do this, I'm not ready. I don't want to leave you, beloved, Heartbreak, not yet, not now.

Heartbreak watched as Pan came over, she was shaking. He could tell that what she had found in there wasn't what she had wanted. The Alpha was dead. He rested her head gently on top of hers. He closed his eyes, trying to find the right words to make her feel better, but for once nothing seemed to come to him. "We live, we die, its the way life goes. With some of us it comes to quick, for ourselves and the ones we care about." he whispered, he knew the words were over used but it was the same thing he had told himself over and over again when Emo died. He hoped they would be of some comfort for Pan.
