[IC] The Pack of Vandrow (Always open!)

[GhostWing]

Ah, spring. The time when life begins anew and there's not a care in the world. Lila was pondering such thoughts while she laid on a sun warmed rock in the pack's clearing. She'd probably have to go hunting soon so it was best to relax now while she had the time. Spring was also one of the busiest times to get food since it was so plentiful.

[Aristocles]

Knowing that this was the best time of the year, Klondike wanted to make the best of every day. It was warm and would only get warmer, while the sun was finally out for more of the day. Although he was a wolf and apt to prowl at night, Klondike enjoyed the sun. He had little time to think about that now, as other predators would be out and about. Wolves weren't the only ones who prowled these wilds. He was just grateful to have made it through the last winter.

[Whitewolf]

Misty lay under a tree at the edge of the clearing in order to get some shade from the sun. She yawned and then got to her feet and stretched before walking towards the other members of her pack. Being the alpha female, she felt like she was responsible for all of the others and didn't want to make any mistakes. At least it was spring. The weather was good and food was plentiful, but that didn't mean that she would relax. There were still too many possible dangers.

[Valkyr]

Amber stretched and yawned. She blinked lazily at the bright sky. Having just finished her nap, she felt ready to get to work. She picked herself and looked around wearily. The rest didn't seem quite ready to start hunting yet. She might have to take another nap, she thought exasperatedly. She quietly retreated to the cool shade of the trees, and lay back down.

[GhostWing]

Lila caught movement from the corner of her eye and turned to spot Misty making her way over. She stood and met the she-wolf part way, wagging her tail. "Morning Misty," She said.

[Aristocles]

Klondike walked over to Amber. "Hi. Are you all rested? It won't be light out forever, and I'm sure other predators aren't waiting around for us to take our turn." His apprehension was justified to an extent. Over the winter, they had to deal with the tigers which shared this wilderness, and those cats were too much for any one wolf to handle. Even the whole pack had trouble dealing with them.

[Whitewolf]

Misty nodded. "Morning, Lila. I don't think we should remain idle for much longer. We're going to need food sooner rather than later. I think you and Klondike should scout the area for prey," Misty said before looking around the clearing for Postremo.

[GhostWing]

"Of course, do you want large or small game? Small game would certainly be plentiful, we'll need to have more of the large animals during winter so it may be best to hold off unless we're lucky and there's lame prey," Lila said, sitting while she talked.

[Whitewolf]

"Small game is fine," said Misty. "I don't want us to take any unnecessary risks right now with so much game around as it is. Just go with whatever is going to be easiest. You can take Amber with you as well if she wants to go."

[Valkyr]

"Oh!" Amber quickly stood. "No, no, I'm ready." She continued to reassure. She looked at the rest and noticed that they were getting ready to start a hunt. Amber silently cheered inside herself. She wasn't going to need to have another nap after all! She paused. She knew she shouldn't be so excited. The land seemed to be getting increasingly more dangerous. She also had to calm her attitude during hunts. She hoped she'd be able to do it today.

[GhostWing]

Lila nodded, wincing in her head. She liked Amber, she was a sweet pup but not a very patient hunter. "I'll hopefully return before the sun gets too high in the sky," She said, standing and padding to Klondike and Amber. "Let's move out," She said to the pair before turning to lead out of the clearing.

[Aristocles]

Klondike followed Lila and stayed near to Amber. He caught the scent of what he thought was some kind of deer. Maybe elk. Either way was fine with him. "There's something to the north of us, about one kilometer, I think." He put his nose to the ground and sniffed. "Smell anything, ladies?"

[Valkyr]

Amber followed the two hunters quietly but eagerly. She sniffed at the air and the dirt, searching any sign of prey. "There's something to the north of us, about one kilometer, I think." She heard Klondike say. She lifted her nose in the air and sniffed. Sure enough, she caught the scent of what might be a deer. The scent quickly made her feel hungry. She turned away and distracted her self on looking for any other scents. She froze when she smelled something off. She couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was, but she didn't like it. She turned to the other two, "Hey, there's something in this direction. I-I don't know what it is..."

[Aristocles]

"What is it, Amber?" he smelled the air, not sure what it was. It made his nose itch and he lowered his ears in anger, baring his fangs and letting out a growl. "I don't know, but whatever it is, I smell it too. It's not a deer, whatever it is. I don't think its a tiger or another predator, either."

[MarshiestMallow]

Jackie lay very still, the only movement a slight twitch of her ears at any sound. Even her breathing seemed slow, and made very little sound. She was crouched, ready to pounce but not so much that she was obvious. She took a moment, eyes watching the larger wolf that was her brother, and with a slight wriggle, she pounced on him. Her momentum took them to the ground. "Jackie!" Ian hissed, "this isn't the time for games! We are hunting!" Jackie rolled her eyes. But let out a heavy sigh. "We've been hunting for hours eld! Why did we have to get up before everyone else for anyway?" She grumbled, falling silent whenIan hissed again. "Somethings strange..." Jackie shifted, falling still once more

[Polaris North]

Renzo was lying down on his belly as he enjoyed the warm rays of the sun on his skin. He watched as the hunters left, sighing as he remembered the times where he, himself, hunted for the pack. Now, he was merely an elder who gives advice to the current Alpha Male. "Spring... A time where the pack should be careful. More game means more competitors." He said to himself as he remembered what his father told him.

[Ancient Amen]

Postremo was taking his usual nap in the middle of the day enjoying the rays of the sun on his back. He usually slept late since he always looks out for any predators that might attack the pack during the night. He also wakes up really early just because he like to watch the sun rise. He thought that maybe he should walk around and see what everybody is up to. He saw Misty and walked up to her and said, "So what's everyone up to, hunting I suppose?"

[Whitewolf]

Misty nodded when Postremo asked her what everyone was doing. "Yes, they are all out hunting. Let's hope that they are successful. And more importantly, let's hope that none of them run into any trouble with predators."

[Ancient Amen]

"Yes let's hope, anyways I'm going out there to watch over them just in case, think of it like a test to see how they do." Postremo said to her.

[Whitewolf]

"Do you want some company?" she asked, not really feeling like being alone. She was always nervous was the pack was spread out and didn't want to be far from Postremo as well.
