Aella nodded in a somewhat vague thanks, confused at why the boy did not have his Mask on. Neither of them had them on. Maybe Raven Tribe was different, as they did not care to wear Masks in their territory, as they felt safe on their own land. Maybe...? The other, the more energetic and happy-go-lucky one, was obviously disappointed in Tempests' response to his first question, and started to complain, or more like, whine, but only slightly. "Pleeeeeeeeaaseee?" asked the boy as he stared at the three of them. Freya stared at Aella with a bemused look hidden behind her mask, and Aella could only shrug subtly and turn back to face them. They were already starting to walk away. Tempest glanced at Aella and gave her a nod, as if he was approving how well she had handled that. Aella hoped that Tempest would make a note of it to Jay, and possibly she would be considered more trustworthy.

"Come on. We've lost valuable time. It was my goal to get back to camp by sunset, but we will have to either walk during the dark, or we will need to rest somewhere for the night." Freya piped up as they started to walk. "I think I'd prefer sleeping for the night. Walking through this land would he very creepy at night." Aella stared at where the two Raven Tribe people had left. The meeting had unnerved her, as they did not seem wholly part of their Tribe. They could be hunting, but then why in the trees? Surely there was no squirrel meat, as it did not seem that this was the best place for squirrels to live. Besides, Aella did not see any squirrel drays in the trees. "Soon we will be in Fox Tribe territory." Tempest spoke, paying no attention to Freya's previous comment. Aella sighed and continued to walk, feeling, oddly, very tired.

Autumn and Sycamore smiled sweetly at Rue, not wanting her to know what they'd been taunting Jack about, for it involved her too. "How are you?" asked Sycamore innocently. "Jack has been nice to you, hasn't he?" asked Autumn, and Sycamore piped in again, "He tells us about you all the time..." said Sycamore, just as Jack turned up, his freckled face a little pink from embarassment and the run. Neither of his sisters noticed his presence behind them, "And how you are boyfriend and girlfriend," ended Autumn. Jack raised an eyebrow at the two girls, who turned around, and on seeing his now seething expression, had run for it as fast as they could. This was unfortuneately a good proportion slower than Jack, he came back to Rue, a child slung over each shoulder, he was looking triumphant whilst they moaned and struggled. "Ready to go?" he asked, grinning as if there had never been an intteruption.

(Gah. Posted right as you did xD)


/ Rue /


Rue stared at the girls suspiciously as they started to speak sweetly to her. Of course, the short Fox Tribe girl was always suspicious about whatever the sisters of Jack said. "How are you?" Sycamore asked, and Rue mumbled, "Fine..." she said, raising a cautious eyebrow. "Jack as been nice to you, hasn't he?" asked the other, Autumn. Rue's eyebrow arched higher as the two girls continued talking. "He tells us about you all the time..." Sycamore continued. "Oh really?" Rue questioned, not liking the looks of this. "And how you are boyfriend and girlfriend." Autumn finished the small little duet-like speech. Rue just stared at the two, with a uncertain look on her face. Not uncertain of what they were telling her, as Rue had never thought that Jack would say that, but uncertain of how much these two girls badgered their brother around every day. Is this really what they teased him about all the time? Odell, who was standing beside Rue, was staring at the girls with wide eyes, being ignorant enough to believe all of this. Rue could only smile as Jack caught the girls easily. "Ready to go?" he said to Rue, and she smiled. "Yes. Very much so." she said, turning around and starting to walk off into the fields. It was best to leave any of the stuff that the girls said, untouched and unspoken of. Most of what they said was lies to Rue, just spoken to embarrass their poor brother.

As I started to follow Blair back to the village, it came back to me the curiosity of why those strangers had business with the Raven Tribe. It sounded a bit weird and kind of suspicious, but I didn't care much about it. Suddenly, I felt inside my coat pieces falling on the floor. As I looked, there were scattered black pieces from where I walked. I feared the worst.

"Oh, please, don't tell me..." I grumbled as I hesitated to look inside my coat, to the pocket where I'd kept my mask. As expected... It wasn't there. Only pieces and pieces, even the feathers were there. It broke after I fell on the floor. "Great... Mae's gonna kil..." before I would finish the sentence of one of my talking-alone-moments, I heard a loud shriek coming from Blair. Well, at least it looked like it was coming from him. I ran towards where the scream came from. There he was, crawling on the ground obviously looking for something "Ruor!" he looked at me, his face soaked with tears "My mask! It disappeared!!"

"Tch." I snorted as I couldn't believe that I got worried for a second there because this weird kid just lost his mask "Well, fun thing is, you mentioned that right after I found out my mask is broken." Blair shrugged, still crying and looking inside the bushes "At least you don't wear it..." his trembling voice came out of the bush that he entered. "It dropped after you grabbed me out of that bush... How I haven't noticed until now that I wasn't wearing it?" taking him out of the bush by the collar, again, I said with a expressionless face "Y'know, you wouldn't want to look so deep in the bushes... There might be..." I slowly approached his face "...Spiders."

Blair let out a large 'meep' sound as he went running towards the village, almost taking me along with him.

Jack's sisters were kicking and screaming. "Let us go," they squealed, feeling very undignified. "When you stop telling lies," he said with a smile. "Never!" they protested. Jack shook his head, "I shall get Odell to curse you so your heads turn purple and fall off if you don't shut up," He said, which shut both the girls up immediately. Jack smiled at their silence, then flippped them both of his shoulders, they fled and went to badger Odell, because they were obviously already bored of annoying their brother. He shook his head, agitated. He looke dat Rue, "You know when my hair was all tufty a year ago?" he asked. Then he pointed at his sisters, "It was them. You're lucky to only have one sibling," he said, obviously wihing two of his sisters would dissappear. Or maybe even all three, because he knew that rosemary, sweet as she seemed now, would most probably become like Autumn and Sycamore. Jacks gihed and ran a hand through his hair, he was looking forward to the hunt, though he knew his sisters woun't stop bothering him the whole way through it.

"Y'know, it's getting a lot more pleasant now." Freya remarked hopefully, glancing at the trees that were becoming more leafy. Aella stared at her friend, wishing that she could agree, but she was sweating bullets, and her breath was becoming labored. It wasn't because she was out of shape, no, Aella was far from being out of shape. The warmth down here was unusual for her though, and the air as well. Tempest glanced around, obviously happy to be out of Raven Tribe territory. "Fox Tribe territory is much more green than Raven Tribe's territory. Warmer here though, and even less wind." he spoke, and Aella felt as though she would die from warmth. "You mean that this isn't the warmest it'll be?" she asked, going slack from her unbelieving. Freya shrugged, and though Aella could see her forehead was shiny from sweat, she knew her quirky friend was able to ignore things very well. "I dunno. It's kind of okay. The air is a bit weird, but I'm somewhat fine with this." Aella rolled her eyes. "Oh goody. Maybe you should loose your wings, and sprout a tail and ears while you're at it. We should just leave you here to live with the Foxes." she said, and was it just her, or did Aella see
Tempest turn, almost a hopeful look on his face?

"I don't think being a Fox is that bad." Freya countered, shrugging. Aella stared at her friend. "And you say you're from the Hawk Tribe?" she asked, wiping her forehead for the millionth time. Freya just grinned. "Tempest, how much longer until we reach the Fox Tribe camp, you say?" she asked, and Tempest momentarily was silent. "Not too sure. I hope we'll run into a patrol." he said, and Freya quested out into the unknown, asking a question that she just thought up. "Run into a patrol? But I thought that you didn't want to run into patrols. You didn't want to in Raven Tribe territory... so why here?" she asked, and Tempest shook his head. "Not in Raven Tribe territory, because they're more threatening, and also, we don't want to be taken to their camp. We didn't need to get to their camp either, so why flag down a patrol? In Fox Tribe territory, if we find a patrol and they ask us where we're going, then when we tell them, they'll take us to their camp." Freya stared at him with wide eyes. "In English please." she plainly said, and Tempest snorted, turning forward.

Odell made a small helpless noise as the two sisters now preyed on him. He brandished an index finger, pointing it at the two. "I will curse yooouuu!" he spoke, making his voice as scary as he could, which, was not very scary. Jack spoke up, "You know when my hair was all tufty a year ago?" he asked, and Rue nodded grimly with a hidden smile, remembering the day that Jack had woken up to having short, fluffy hair. "It was them. You're lucky to have only one sibling." he said, and Rue nodded, considering this. "Especially since you're siblings are girls. They seem to always be more annoying than boys when they're little." she said with a smile, recalling how she was when she was only a small kit. "Well, none of those three will get hunting at all if we stand here idle. I'll just take the lead and hope that they follow in line." Rue said, and without another noise, turned towards the field. With a leap, she left the ground as a human and shifted slimly into a fox as she soared through the air, and then landed to be hidden in the tall grass. "I'm going to get the most food!" she called, loud enough for the younger ones to hear. Odell squeaked and started to run out towards the field. "No you aren't!!!"

[intriguing]

Autumn and Sycamore were not fooled by Odell, as both of them were older than him, but they shifted into foxes, because their strong sense of competition meant there was no way they'd let odell catch more than them. They had been disccussing tactics for most of the morning when they weren't playing or irritating one another. Jack made sure his unfinished carving was still in his pocket, before morphing into a fox. In this form, his coat was of the same auburny ginger as his hair, and, much like his hair, was slightly curly, which looked a little odd on a fox, but not too uncommon. He had small brown dots on his face wherehis freckles would be, and for any other fox of his tribe, he was easy to recognise. He slunk through the grass, pouncing on a mouse that he'd found and taking it with him. Soon he was distracted from the hunt though by a butterfly. He pounced round after it happily, jumping up through the grass, only to be swatted by his sister's tail. he trudged through the grass again, knowing he should be sensible for th hunt.

After I've walked through the trees and finally arrived at the village, it seemed more busier then before. Some people were gathering around a boy that seemed oddly familiar. And yes, it was as I thought. Blair. The Elder was in front of him, I couldn't tell because of his black crow mask, but he seemed very disturbed by something. Blair was with both his hands together, as if praying "I'm sorry, Elder... I lost my mask...", the Elder was silent, he just mumbled something and pressed his walking cane a little on the floor. I would ignore them and just walk away, but my obviously heavy presence made the Elder and everyone else look at me. They were silent. Pretty uncommon.

"What?" I asked, irritated and continue to walk away before the Elder called my attention "Young man... It is true that you and Blair saw Hawk Tribe members walking through our territory?", I stopped walking and started to curse Blair for his big mouth, but I did not answer. "I really have no idea what to do with you, Ruor..." the Elder continued "You know how we are very careful with strangers, no matter from where they came from. The village here is lucky because Blair is nearby, but if it were only you, we might even have spies across the village."
"Then maybe you should reinforce your patrols." I said without thinking "Huh?! Why don't you just DO something?! The corners of the village are empty or with lazy guards and patrols! I was always wondering why we went to the bottom of the well, but..." I made a pause, and the Elder would critiquize the tune of my voice, but I still continued "...Now I know why. Because you're all a bunch of weak and lazy! Not giving a damn about all of this! Doing nothing about that witch that controls us like puppets." everyone on the village was quiet and observed silently as I walked out of the village without another word.

As I started taking a slow stroll across the forest again, I mumbled curse words at the Raven Tribe. I stopped in front of the river that we commonly grab water and I threw in the pieces of my broken mask. "I hate this..." I whispered when I sat on the floor and stared at my own reflection. I closed my wings so that they would look squeezed at my back.
