The Moon's Slumber

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Nasgi just nods, "Ah, I thought you two were sisters they way you two act around each other.... but I guess thats what I know" Nasgi laughs.

*Dawn laughed too, and her eyes lightened noticeably, but they soon swam around, swirling from red to dark green, to a lighter jade, and every shade in between. She was deep in thought. This strange iris movement normally frightened wolves. She was thinking about Wahya, and if he would be alright. She closed her eyes and took on her trance-like state again to see that Hitoban was now swimming. She searched for Wahya unsuccessfully. She hadn't known his scent long enough to see him clearly yet. She opened her eyes and looked off into the distance, debating whether to go and get him.*

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Nasgi tilts his head, "What are you doing? Dosing off? You know if you need to sleep, we can head back to Wahya's pack and rest..."

Wahya continues to walk as his anger continues to boil, "What does she think she is doing, telling me what to do.... I should have the right mind to break her leg since she broke mine!"

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Dawn shakes her head.*

No, I'm fine, I'm just making sure Hitoban's still okay.

*She checked once more and even checked in the surrounding area to make sure no one was lurking in the shadows.*

*Hitoban dove under the cool glassy blue surface of the water. The sun glinted off the surface and nearly blinded her. She dove all the way to the bottom, then let out her air, as she normally did. She concentrated on relaxing as she lay on the cool sandy bottom. She meditated, her need for air dissipating. As long as she kept her thoughts clear, she could stay under for roughly five minutes at a time. It was a strange thing, and even Dawn seemed unnerved when she did it, so she normally swam alone. Her swimming time was her quiet relaxing time. She closed her eyes briefly, but she preferred to keep them open so she could look at the shimmering surface that looked so calm from above, but when you looked at it from below, it looked like a torrent of crashing waves. She normally watched the water dance to keep her mind clear. If she closed her eyes, she got to thinking, and that was a bad thing when you're laying in the bottom of a pond. It was a fairly deep pond too. Even watching the surface, her thoughts drifted back to Wahya, and she wondered how terribly mad he was. She was still peeved at him, but she didn't believe she was anywhere NEAR the anger he harbored for her now. She could feel the water's pressure crushing her body and she opened her mouth. Big mistake. A flood of water ran into her lungs and she struggled madly to reach the surface before she lost consciousness. She broke through and paddled to the shore, still unable to breathe. She ran swiftly, ramming herself into tree after tree until the water finally spewed out. She took a deep breath and stood, panting on the shore. Then she felt the pain. Then she smelled the blood. Then she saw the tree she had rammed into a little too hard, covered in her own blood. She turned her head and saw her leg was bleeding and so was her shoulder. She leaned on her front right leg and let out a loud, sharp yelp. She fell to the sand with a sort thud. She lay whimpering, waiting for Dawn to come.*

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Nasgi's ears perk, "Did you hear something?"

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Dawn was already up, looking off into the forest. She closed her eyes and concentrated on Hitoban's scent. She could barely smell it because the smell of her blood overpowered her normal scent. She flashed her eyes open-now a deep blood red-and turned to Nasgi, her face cold and unreadable.*

I will be back briefly. I have to take care of Hitoban.

*Before Nasgi could say anything, Dawn shot off into the trees at full speed, her eyes closed, using her senses to dart quickly in and out of the trees. She used her nose to guide her, and listened to Hitoban's growing whimpers. She flew past Wahya, not even bothering a glance in his direction as she barreled toward the pond. When she dot there, the ran to Hitoban, dropping down beside her and licking ehr wounds.*

Hitoban, honey what happened? What did you do? *She quickly took in her clearly broken leg.* Were you meditating again?

*Hitoban could only weakly nod. She tried to force the words "I was drowning" out of her mouth, but they wouldn't come, and Dawn already understood what had happened.*

You need to be more careful sweetie! You could've died before I'd had time to get to you! Do I need to stay near you constantly?

*Hitoban shook her head. She coughed and instantly regretted it. She wondered what Wahya was doing.*

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Nasgi, just blinks from her suddenly disappearing, he shrugs and starts to eat the meal that Kiche and Rin killed.

Wahya saw the blur run by and picked up the scent as Dawn, "That one also, she can surely have a adjustment of her attitude aswell...." Wahya turned and continued to walk as his anger continued to boil.

[hitobannofokkusu]

*As Dawn knelt, she suddenly remembered that she had passed Wahya on her way here.*

Hitoban, would you like to go back to the meadow?

*Before Dawn had finished the sentence, Hitoban snarled viciously. Dawn could make out the word "no" somewhere in there, and she saw Hitoban's fur get darker. She calmed her down by saying that they didn't have to go. She used her scent to try and find Wahya again. The direction he was walking, he would stumble right into their little party. She tried to get Hitoban to stop bleeding, but it was futile. In a few hours, she would die. She desperately needed to stop the bleeding, but she was no healer, she was a tracker. She needed help. She would, however, never admit this to Hitoban, the one she was supposed to protect no matter what.*

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya continues to walk, he smells blood, Hitoban's blood, "Hmph, thats what I thought, she would go out and get herself hurt..... figures....." Wahya picks his pace up.

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Dawn sees the blurry shape that is supposedly Wahya quicken his pace. She couldn't see the expression on his face, but she only knew that he would now be here in half the time. She saw Hitoban's eyes close. She bit her ear, and they flashed open.*

You CANNOT fall asleep, even for a second Hitoban. You will surely bleed to death, or you heart might stop due to shock. You cannot close your eyes.

"Yes ma'am..." *She managed weakly. Then she yelped in pain when the bite to her ear finally registered.*

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya comes up to the scene with a smirk, Giga at his throat, almost speaking for him, "Well well well, look what miss "I can do everything by myself" got herself......" Wahya smirks with his golden eyes, "Shame, I thought you was going to find that bear you was wanting to get."

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Hitoban shaped her face into a horrible grimace and let loose a terrifying snarl that even Dawn recoiled from. Dawn glared at him with blood red eyes, her teeth bared and her gruff up. Her tail was raised high like a flag and she stood in a defensive position over Hitoban. Hitoban tried to get up, but Dawn nudged her gently back to the ground. Hitoban's eyes held pure blind rage. She couldn't see her friend anymore-she only saw Giga. She wished she had the strength to find a grizzly. that's show him. She knew if she tried anything, Dawn would just push her back down. She lay on the ground, her leg twisted in an awkward position, and glared at Wahya.*

If you hate us so much, I beg you, leave now. You can banish us from your lands or whatever. I know Hitoban would not want to intrude on you pack if you hate her so much.

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya licks his chops, "But that would be too easy, just letting you leave, then you would still be alive." Wahya shows his teeth as he laughs. He shakes his head but his eyes still golden, "GET OUT!"

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Hitoban looked as if someone had shot her in the stomach. Dawn's eyes glowed bloody red. She was about to step forward and attack him when Hitoban's strong voice stopped her. She wasn't expecting her to speak, let alone shout.*

"Stop. DAMMIT I SAID STAND YOUR GROUND DAWN!" *She stopped dead and inclined her head slightly, her eyes on Hitoban, using her peripheral vision to keep an eye on Wahya.*

"Dawn, you said it yourself. I cannot stay on someone else's land when he clearly hates me so. Help me up, and we shall leave. No use destroying a pack. If we kill him, it will only make things worse. We shall leave peaceably and he shall not follow us."

*She glared at Wahya as she said her final words, and Dawn was in shock.*

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya grins wickedly, "If that is what you want to do, is leave like a coward then leave and dont come back! I will make sure to tell the pack to watch for you two..." Wahya stands firm waiting for them to do something.
