ruby limped over with a leaf and some herbs wrapped around a bite wound on her right leg.
''you alright amber..?'' she asked tilting her head.
she sat down and scratched at one of her ears.
looking over, she seen some of the wolves come back into the camp.
''zero, swift, did you and the others take care of that intruder?'' she asked looking over.

"I-i'll be fine," she admitted.

''you don't seem fine amber... head to the med-wolf den... i'm sure one of the wolves can check your wounds out'' she said looking back at her.

"It'll wear off," Amber argued. Her sleek, bushy tail rapped against the smooth surface of a large clump of rock. The pale moonlight shone on her swift violet eyes like a sea of rippling water, it evaporated into deep purple shadows as the she-wolf calmly rose to her paws and padded away to the cozy cave that she shared with the alpha of the pack. The dusty floors were bare without a single stalk of green grass, the shadows of a dark nighttime full of fog and wind echoing through the veins of the dark as it bounced through the cave. The thin, tall lithe she-wolf was almost scared as she crept into the middle of the cave, alone-just almost.

She curled around until the shins of her front legs were touching her chest, her long tail was able the scratch her back. Amber's violet eyes glowered around the cave, she was almost surprised as the thumps of enormous paws made their way at the ground, she looked up to see the shadow of a messy-furred, tall strong he-wolf. Quickly she turned to see ruffled, soft gray fur tinged with specks of darker grey. Neither of the wolves said a word, but the tall, strong alpha lay down and curl around the she-wolf. Hesitantly, he broke the silence that they had made. "Goodnight, Amber," the sound of his voice seemed to warm the cave up, Amber could've sworn the walls were close to glowing. "Night, Adder." She replied with a soft, light voice that bounced off the walls quickly.

ruby curled up in an empty den that was in the camp and fell fast asleep.
zero and swift both followed into the den and curled up in different spots of the den.
swift slept in one of the corners while zero curled up right beside ruby.
both out like a light once their eyes closed.

~away from the pack~
''has the plan worked...?'' asked the same mysterious wolf hidden in the shadows, though his dark red eyes were glowing in the moonlight.
''it worked perfectly sir... ruby is healing from the bite wound one of your pack gave her... and amber seemed to have been in a fight as well.. but the plan has been working as plan'' said the she-wolf looking at him.
the wolf chuckled evilly.
''yeah.. that she-wolf should be healing from that wound know it all...'' grumbled the she-wolf she sat near the wolf hiding in the shadows.
''as long as the plan is working.. that's all i care about'' he barked coldly.

Amber woke up pressed against Adder, and began to think about the odd dream she'd had during her doze. A strange wolf hidden in the shadows, another seeming to a report about a pack, and mainly a plan. She was confused, but this felt important to the gray she-wolf. "A-adder..." she whispered as the taller, muscular alpha stirred around as he hesitantly replied, a bit concerned to the worry of her stammer. "Yes?" he looked up, his pale gray eyes only stopping Amber for a short moment. She told him about her dream, her worries and what fight she'd had. It was like Adder had the ability to just let her spill out her feelings...

"Amber..." he said after a while. "I... Well, I mean... How well can you fight, exactly?" his voice dropped into a whisper. She paused, almost shocked until his tail laced with hers. "Stronger than you've been doing?" he whispered soothingly. The sound of his voice, the concern just made her urge to tell the truth, the secret she'd been bottling up for the whole time. "I-i... Yes..." she whispered. Her face dug into his chest fur, panting with what seemed like guilt. Adder... I've told you about my past, the terror i've done... And still you accept me... she wanted to say this out loud, but she could only bear it in her mind. She calmed down and dozed off into a sleep.

~suspicion~
ruby yawned in her sleep when zero woke up and looked outside of the camp.
he seen pearl walk into the camp and lay down on one of the heat-rocks.
like that isn't suspicious pearl... he thought baring his teeth a little, he wasn't sure where she could have been to where she returned to the pack this late.
he got up and padded over to her and cleared his throat.
''um.. pearl, where were you last night?'' he asked.
''hmm? oh, i was patrolling the territory...'' she yawned.
he nodded and turned around to go sleep some more, but he had a sinking feeling about ruby's sister.
what if she's the one behind claw's disappearance.. and why amber and ruby are wounded... he thought.

Amber's eyes fluttered open, the first thing she saw was a face full of ruffled gray fur, tinged with darker gray. Drearily she rose to her paws and shook out her thick, shaggy coat of fur. She sat down, lapping at her paw and watched the sleeping he-wolf. Loosing her patience, she pressed her nose to his ear. "Wake up, Adder," she murmured and flicked her small paw across his ear. His light-grey tail whipped so fast it was like a pure blade of silver moonlight.

His eyes shot open, as he jumped to his paws and lapped his tongue on Amber's cheek, and padded out to assign the patrols. "Oh, and Amber... I want you to follow Pearl. Stealthily. I spoke with Swift about it, she'll be your tracking partner..." and with that, he flicked his tail to dismiss her and find Swift.

She approached the she-wolf and nodded towards the exit. "C'mon, Swift, lets go..." Amber murmured and pounced out the camp. Her tail flicked towards Pearl-Who was heading west? Pearl was going out of the pack's territory... This is getting odd, Amber thought.

~hiding a secret~
''oh great... their following me...'' pearl grumbled as she started running through streams and weaved through trees as she head back towards the direction the lake was.
they can not find out my secret... i would make ruby really upset if she knew... she thought as she skidded to a stop.

''what is she up to?'' she asked amber as she ran through the forest trying to find pearl.
she weaved through trees after her.
why is she running..? she thought panting.

(What the hell is the secret? XD)

Amber stared in confusion, but she stealthily crept in the forests, to be unseen by the running she-wolf while still tracking her.

~lies~
''swift, why were you following me?'' pearl asked her teeth bared.
the golden colored she-wolf stepped over to pearl and growled.
''why were you heading out of the territory'' she asked in an angry snarl.
''none of your concern swift!'' she snapped.
both of them started arguing now.

Lies, narrated by Amber
This is crazy, Amber thought to herself as she glanced out of the bushes. The crispy wind brushed through her fur, as her hackles raised. Pearl could be a threat to the pack. With that, she leaped out of the bushes and rammed into Pearl, her claws sinking on the she-wolf's shoulder blade as she flipped the pack-member on her back and pinned her down by the wrists.
Pearl looked at her in shock. "Amber, you-" Amber's lip curled, her sharp fangs seemed to glare down at Pearl. "You are now a threat to the pack," she snapped. "You could tell us whats going on or..." she paused and gave Pearl a dirty, ruthless look.

---

~hiding the truth~
pearl just looked at her.
''i was looking outside of the territory! i am no threat to the pack!'' she yelled.
she masked this lie well, pearl was a sly wolf.
''get off of my sister amber'' ruby barked as she limped down the path towards them, zero was beside her helping her walk.

"Than why," Amber growled. "Were you talking to another pack wolf?!" she snapped. Looking down to the she-wolf, Amber wasn't paying attention to the shocked look on Pearl's face. "You lying, Pearl. I can tell," She snapped. A single claw of Amber's touched Pearl's neck. "Don't think about lying again, Pearl. Spill it." Amber demanded. Pearl hesitated, than jerked to the side, throwing her off. Amber leaped back, and rammed into Pearl's chest, sending her to the ground. Amber used her fore-paws to pin Pearl to the ground.

she gulped and just looked at amber.
is she really thinking of hurting me..?! pearl thought fearfully.
''i-i was just patrolling away from the territory, making sure no other wolves dared to take over the pack!!'' she yelped, she closed her eyes as tears started to stream from them.
''amber! i said get off of her!'' ruby commanded once again.

"Tell me, Pearl, who that stranger wolf is," Amber spat, ignoring Ruby's warning. "You know i'm the stronger one, Pearl." She grunted. ~Pearl's thoughts~ Amber, you don't know what i've been training for... I'm stronger now. Pearl thought, but she was still worried. "Stranger wolf?" She stammered. She was just about ready to crack.

---

''i-i told you! i was making sure no wolf tried to enter the territory!'' she barked in protest.
pearl looked over at ruby, a look crossing her face.
no... pearl don't! ruby thought her ears pinning back in horror.
pearl looked back up at amber with a calm look.
''if i am a threat to the pack then why don't you just end me right here... right now..'' she challenged with a snarl.
ruby limped over and tried to push amber off of her but with not much progress.
''amber, please get off of her'' begged ruby.

"I have my theories, Pearl. Don't try to outsmart me on this one," she spat. With a final threat, Amber leaned over to Pearl and mumbled in her ear, only for her to hear. "You lie about this one, my dear, and I will hunt your life down." Pearl seemed to tremble at the cold, merciless tone. She leaned back, her grip loosening hesitantly. "Return to your patrol." She spat and yanked off the white she-wolf, as she headed west. Stopping, Amber turned back and called to Ruby, her tone still serious and ruthless. "You can report of what had happened." Without another word, her tail flicked as she padded away with rage filling her steps. No; She wasn't going after Pearl.

~Pearl~ The white she-wolf was only lucky to escape the claws of that brute. Her wrists wobbled from were Amber had pinned her, but calmly she thought to herself. I'll just need a bit more training to beat her... And a bit more stealth. She was sure her lord would forgive her, she was only new at this. "Amber won't know whats coming!" she cheered merrily to herself, crunching the leaves under her paws as she approached her master in the shadows for continued missions and training.

''sir, that she-wolf is on to us... we have to abort the plan'' pearl said in a low tone of voice.
''the plan will not be stopped... and thats a command!'' the he-wolf snapped.
''s-sir... amber is getting to strong, we have to stop the plan!'' she said trying to make him listen.
the wolf hiding in the shadows growled and stepped out of the darkness his coat shining in the light.
a tall, midnight black brute he-wolf with red eyes and massive paws stood right in front of her.
pearl gulped and trembled a little.
''the plan will go as planned... and that pack will fall!'' she snarled.
a she-wolf walked over to them and looked at the massive he-wolf.
''blade sir, maybe she is just to weak to follow the plans...'' the she-wolf growled looking over at the she-wolf.
blade just glared at her in thought.
''maybe your right dash..'' he muttered.
he lifted a huge paw into the air and swatted pearl away leaving a huge gash in her shoulder.
she looked at him in fear as he walked over growling.
''please no, show mercy blade!'' she whimpered.

(hows this for a dramatic rp?)

(Ah, my friend, leave the drama to me, that was just violence. And midnights aren't black, fyi XD)

Amber woke up with a stretch of slick grass entwined in her messy fur. Oh, skydogs... she cursed in her mind, to find out that she'd fallen asleep by the hills. The pale-colored sky was nearly a shaded sea-green, yet the sun seemed to try to brighten. Heat stung onto Amber's triple-colored fur, which only made her want to doze off again. She forced herself to rise on her paws, as she hauled the antelope she'd been sleeping on into her mouth. Her deep violet eyes whipped to the side of the pine tree forest, almost hypnotized in the breezy melody the leaves gave. The she-wolf headed forwards.

Luckily, no being had noticed that Amber was gone through the night since she currently inhabited the alpha's den with Adder. She dropped the antelope in the pups' den and headed towards the warm cave with a tall, muscular dozed off alpha. The wind stroked through her fur until she reached the cave with a dusty floor with that gray he-wolf in the center. Silently, her nose prodded at his ear lightly as a waking call. "Wake up," she whispered. The echoes bounced off the walls of the stone hollow. Adder stirred, as she nudged him a bit harder his amber-brown eyes fluttered open like the wings of a robin. "Amber," he stated her name in a murmur, as if it were sacred. Jetting up to his balance, Adder pressed his nose to hers, as his eyes swirled at her pupils.

"Amber... Pearl came back, but she was... Wounded." Adder reported, with the thin lithe she-wolf leaned on his broad shoulder. She listened carefully, but silently only for the alpha's calm voice to rustle through the echoes of the cave. "As I was saying, she said you did all of the wounds. Amber, is this true?" he asked hesitantly. Pausing, the she-wolf's tail curled over her forewrists. "Yes, Adder. Pearl was lying about something, however..." she trailed off until the alpha nudged her. "Pearl is in the fields. She wants to speak with you," Adder finished and padded off.

With that, Amber was at the dry fields to find a wounded white she-wolf gazing off the horizon blankly. "Pearl. Face me," the words came out a bit harsher than she meant. Pearl whipped around, her light blue eyes determinedly facing into Amber's. "You needed to speak?" Amber replied without hesitation, sitting down. Pearl nodded, her expression surprisingly flat. "Amber, I have a fair offer to make you. You see, this is an offer to learn of strength, to be stronger than all the pack. I would like you to join a group of wolves, led by a he-wolf known as Blade," she looked to Amber once more. "Blade offers power, strength, all of that for a single favor-To destroy the Wolves of the Shadows." Her expression lightened. "I don't need strength, traitor," Amber spat.

Pearl merely rose to her paws a bit joyfully, as if expecting this to happen. "Amber, I give you a final chance. You could have all you want, and i'll show you what Blade's training has done for me. I challenge you to a fight!" Pearl cheered. Amber had no other choice than to accept... "Very well. But know this, you are making a foolish mistake," Amber replied. At the exact moment when she accepted, the white she-wolf dashed at a high speed towards Amber. The she-wolf easily dodged it by leaping to the side. "Your accuracy and speed is off. I know you, Pearl." She taunted. The white she-wolf seemed confused at the last part, but continued. She lunged at Amber, who flipped on her back and clawed the white she-wolf on the cheek, misdirecting her aim even more.

She's reading me perfectly, Pearl thought with worry. Even so, Amber hadn't even attacked yet! Stay strong, Pearl reassured herself. Remembering another move from her training, she lunged towards Amber's hip. Amber once more dodged it, but only got a mere scratch. "Your wasting your time," Amber spat, her tone filled with energy. Without a word, Pearl slammed towards Amber. Amber leaped to the side, but Pearl forced herself to turn along. Amber, deciding to take a move, slashed her claws fiercely across Pearl's side, the impact hard and bruteful. Pearl weakened to the ground with a thump. "Pearl, this Blade character is doing nothing for you. This is worthless," Amber declared and whipped around, to see Ruby, who had just experienced the whole fight.
