Alyss sniffled and buried her face into Donovan's shoulder, crying until she dozed off. Zahara looked in and watched the pair. "Poor thing," She said softly. "You'd better get her to bed," She said.

[MarshiestMallow]

Donovan nodded, gently standing so as not to disturb Alyss, carrying her up to their bed. He put her down gently, covering her with the blankets, going back downstairs for a few moments. "the kids?" He asked Zahara

[GhostWing]

"They're all down for naps. The girls are actually sleeping this time," Zahara said. "Why don't you stay in the guest room for a couple of nights? Sharing a bed might be a little fast for her right now."

[MarshiestMallow]

"thank you. I don't know what I would have done without everyone" Donovan said gratefully, "I don't want to leave her alone though"

[GhostWing]

"We're family, no one goes through anything alone," Zahara said. "Then maybe one of the guys can find a cot in the storage shed you can set up."

[MarshiestMallow]

"There's already one up there, from when the kids stole the bed from me last week" Donovan said

[GhostWing]

"The kids took over your bed?" Zahara asked.

[MarshiestMallow]

"One did, then the other two followed. Not a one of then sleeps without wriggling every five minutes. It was easier to sleep in a cot"

[GhostWing]

"Poor things, the bed is probably one of the things that has a constant Aly scent on it," Zahara said.

[MarshiestMallow]

Donovan nodded, "One reason I didn't fuss about it, another was I felt better with them there"

[GhostWing]

"Then I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of them show up there tonight," She said.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Neither would I" Donovan said "I'll head on up"

When Donovan left, Pakuna stepped up, the white letter in his hand "another message from
The elders" he said softly

[GhostWing]

Zahara looked to Pakuna and bit her lip. "Good news or bad?" She asked softly.

[MarshiestMallow]

"It depends" Pakuna replied, "other pack leaders have stated they do know which elder position. Which just leaves me"

[GhostWing]

Zahara nodded. "What happens now then?" She asked.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Now? I means things are going to get more dangerous then they need to be, and more secretive as I decide whether or not to accept. I've already set up more patrols"

[GhostWing]

Zahara nodded. "Melanie's sent word that she's done much the same on her distant borders," Zahara said, picking a toy up and putting it in the living room's toy box.

[MarshiestMallow]

"And we still don't know who is behind the attack" Pakuna sighed, slipping the letter in a pocket

[GhostWing]

"It won't be long until we find whoever hurt Aly and the elders," Zahara said.

[MarshiestMallow]

"For someone to get this close, I don't like it" Pakuna sighed. He looked about "but, we will indeed catch them"
