Leila heard what to do, but let out a growl when they told them what to do. She liked doing her own way on killing, but she wanted to hunt with the pack for the first time. She didn't like being ordered but.....they were the hunters. So it doesn't matter anymore, they are the hunters for starters. She felt herself get up as she walked back to the others. She felt kind of weird being around them at a hunt. The shadow like wolf sat down not close to the others. She looked into the woods licking her teeth growling.

Wildflower perked up, nodding thankfully before prancing away, a sort of kick in her step. This is what she's all about, this was her position. She helped feed the pack, and when it was time to bring home the elk, she was the one who was out there, leading the charge. She thought about this on the walk back to the rock, and mused it over when she took her place beside Ulfang. The wolf was at least two heads taller than her, so she looked miniscule pressed up against him, but they made a fierce hunting pair. "Fang, we have to bring enough food home for four people today, got it?"

Dodger yipped as she jumped on his back stopping himself the female pup went flying off his back and he quickly ran over to her laying on her back looking her in the eyes and affectionately licking her snout.

Ulfang watched Wildflower as she came over to him and sat down. She looked very excited to be out hunting, as any wolf would. "Ahh yes, we have mouths to feed at home now. I'm sure if we work together we can bring it back intact, or we could always eat our fill then regurgitate it back up." Ulfang shook his head at that one. "I'd much rather bring it back." he said while smiling.

Dodger yipped as she jumped on his back stopping himself the female pup went flying off his back and he quickly ran over to her laying on her back looking her in the eyes and affectionately licking her snout.

Autumn yelped in surprise when she was suddenly airborn. She hit the ground and rolled, laying there with a dazed expression. Well that didn't turn out as planned. A shadow covered her face and she looked up, seeing Dodge leaning over her. She barked softly and licked him back, getting to her feet. Snowfeather leaped to her feet the moment she saw Autumn go flying. She raced over but the pup was already getting to her feet. She nosed to pup's body, making sure she wasn't hurt. Autumn stayed still, tolerating the inspection. Once the female wolf was satisfied that Autumn was ok she gently told her to be more careful and returned to her spot. Autumn looked around the clearing, spotting a squirrel. The pup crouched down before taking off after it. The critter darted away from her and she skidded to a halt, head tilted. So running at it did nothing because it gave the rodent time to get away and she wasn't as fast as Dodge so she couldn't run after it. The pup looked around the clearing, seeing that in same places the grass was tall. She padded over to a patch and crouched down, hiding among the blades. She waited and after a moment the squirrel resumed collecting nuts. Autumn waited until it was in front of her before she pounced. The creature had no time to run and Autumn quickly snapped its neck. She picked her kill up in her mouth and scampered over to Dodge, proudly dropping it at his feet as she bounced in excitement. "I did it! I did it!"

Shadow looked at Ulfang. "I have an idea for that. We used to go for the big prey back when I was an official member of the pack. I would be the one to lure one out, while the only other hunter at the time would wait ahead in ambush." He was used to hunting along now. He used to always hunt alongside his sister, though, and that was the plan they'd use.

Wildflower shook her head, and nipped at Ulfang's shoulder. "Don't joke about that stuff, it makes me sick to my stomach." She looked out at the wolves gathered here, and smiled. "Stay to the ground, no sudden movements until we are on the chase. Ulfang or I will go in for the final kill, so stay back and try to take out the elk's legs. As for who leads the elk out, I'd be fine with Leila and Shadow, wouldn't you Ulfang? If You have a problem with how we run this show, talk to the Alpha. We are target larger, older elk, but no young adult men, they usually fight against us. I'm sure Ulfang has told you guys the rest of what you need to know." She eyed Shadow warily, and shook her head. "Lastly, no funny business. Now that that's over and done with, let's get our tails out of here." She started off at a light trot, making her way into the trees. She looked back at Ulfang and jerked her head, wanting him to catch up with her.

"Good idea, but we'll just have to wait and see what's in our favor today. The elk could be anywhere and we just won't know until we get a lay of the land." Ulfang replied back to Shadow. "I'm familiar with ambush techniques, it could save us a lot of time and fill our bellies quickly." He started off after Wildflower. He didn't want to undermine her authority but he always thought it best that if a wolf saw an opening for a clean kill, then they should take it. He would keep his snout shut for now.

Leila looked at them all when they all shifted ideas to one another which made her head turn to each of them. She just wanted to hunt already feeling her stomach rumble made her claws dig into the dirt. Her eyes closed tight as she wanted the taste of blood in her mouth. This is why I hunt alone, she felt her body sway a bit as she stood up. She needed to hunt, but not without the pack. Not without them. She looked at them all with her eyes holding a glint of a emotion before she trotted behind everyone.

Shadow nodded to Ulfang, then glanced at Leila. He recognized that look. He moved over beside her and quietly said, "Calm down...we'll hunt soon. Don't do anything reckless like me..."

Wildflower glanced impatiently at Ulfang, then at the rest of her followers. "Fang...I sounded a little demanding back there huh? I guess I just wanted Shadow to get the memo, you know? He got kicked out of the pack for hunting badly a while back." Wildflower picked up her pace, hoping the others would do the same. "And sometimes, I just want to be in control." She tested the air, waiting for a response from Ulfang. Maybe he would understand a bit more than the others. He always seemed a little neutral to her.

Leila felt her body tense up a bit when Shadow said those words, but she said softly her voice held no emotion which wasn't good, "I'm trying......" She picked up her pace and listened in everything around her, she was trying her best but when she did, all she could feel was the taste of blood in her mouth. Please calm down this isn't the time for this, was her thought.

Wildflower glanced impatiently at Ulfang, then at the rest of her followers. "Fang...I sounded a little demanding back there huh? I guess I just wanted Shadow to get the memo, you know? He got kicked out of the pack for hunting badly a while back." Wildflower picked up her pace, hoping the others would do the same. "And sometimes, I just want to be in control." She tested the air, waiting for a response from Ulfang. Maybe he would understand a bit more than the others. He always seemed a little neutral to her.

"I was kicked out because I used to be so reckless that I got someone else hurt, even killed. But I've calmed down a bit since I left. Ruka even offered to let me back in," Shadow said. "I'm actually a skilled hunter. My sister and I used to hunt like that. Ambush tactics are very effective." He looked at Wildflower as he said this, trying to hide his sadness at having to mention his sister.

Wildflower glanced impatiently at Ulfang, then at the rest of her followers. "Fang...I sounded a little demanding back there huh? I guess I just wanted Shadow to get the memo, you know? He got kicked out of the pack for hunting badly a while back." Wildflower picked up her pace, hoping the others would do the same. "And sometimes, I just want to be in control." She tested the air, waiting for a response from Ulfang. Maybe he would understand a bit more than the others. He always seemed a little neutral to her.

Ulfang gave a wolfy cough, then said "Maybe just a bit, but ya'know there's always another side of the story. Like he said, Ruka offered him a chance for redemption. I'm sure he'll be fine." Ulfang then whispered to Wildflower, "Being in control isn't everything, but on the hunt, its the one thing that we have. It's our duty not to let the others get hurt because of a bad call."

Dodger chuckled a bit"nice work tenderfoot..wanna play tag?" he asked excitedly

Wildflower ignored Shadow, and walked ahead. She had to focus, and She really didn't want to talk about pack politics right now. She didn't mind that Shadow was being invited back into the pack, she just didn't want him to ruin the hunt. This is what they were out here for. "Understood. But that's not what I'm interested in talking about. Thank you for adding your extensive knowledge." She barked snappily in response, still steadily gaining speed, but when she hears Ulfang respond, She slowed a little. "Exactly, thank you for understanding."

Ruka sat back down on his rock after the hunters went off, doing their job. He took this time to think about weather or not to adopt the new pups. His gaze turned to the said pups(Autumn and Dodge) and he watched them for a bit. They are kind of cute. He smiled at the thought before turning his attention back to the front. _______________________________________________________________________________ Jenna was watching the pack do their thing and hoped they wouldn't see her as a threat since she was lying down with a pup in her paws. She could still hear that menacing growl from Gron echoing in her mind. She had a theory that he might be a pup killer which is probably why she ran. Jonas looked at his mother. "Can we ask to join them?" He asked in a quiet voice. Jenna pondered the question before saying, "Maybe later. They seem busy at the moment." She licked the top of his head, before laying her head on her paws.

Leila looked at Wildflower, "No need to snap at him. He was just saying what is true." She felt her voice turn on edge, "And don't even try to snap at me Wild. Or I might actually snap back" she stopped from her tracks, she would rather go back then see them snap. "I'm going back. Go hunt without me" she felt her eyes turn cold as she turned around and ran to her cave at full speed. She heard what she said before she ran off, but she didn't stop. She didn't want too, she just wanted to go to her cave.

Dodger chuckled a bit"nice work tenderfoot..wanna play tag?" he asked excitedly

Autumn tipped her head to the side curiously. "What's tag?" She inquired, having never heard of it or played it before. Having never played with other pups before she was not aware on what kind of games there were to play.

Shadow sighed. "Let's just go hunt...I'm actually starting to get annoyed..." He looked at Ulfang. "Are we all ready?"
