Iron Claw: "Pups..." I whispered.

sage: I actually think I just saw something. It had a poky log type thing with bushels of soft and crunchy things atop. I didn't know what the colors were but I remember mother telling me of this. A tree. Brown with green on top. "I know what green is! I know what brown is!" I shouted happily.

Alice- I was in a frozen state. I was fpaniced, happy, terrified, some many emotions at one flooded me. I barely hear Iron Claw's whisper, which a sharp spasm of pain hit me. Forcing myself not to make any noise, I clenched my fangs together, preventing a moan from escaping my jaws. I was too busy trying not to let out everything I was feeling right now, I only faintly heard Sage. The pain subdued slightly. Struggling to keep my voice steady, and spoke. "What is Sage yelling about?" I asked. I failed miserably, my voice shook slightly.

Iron Claw: "I don't know... but aren't you happy?"

Alice- I paused before smiling. "Yes," I replied, smiling. Hopefully Iron Claw was happy too... Right? "Youre happy too, right?" I asked, becoming panicrd again.

Iron Claw: "Yes."

(You finally post.xD)

Alice- I felt the panic slightly leave me. I fell silent as my gaze swept over the creek, and felt another sharp stab of panic. I knew Iron Claw could sense it too. My stomach was twisting with nervousness. What about the journey we all where about to take? What about the mountians? What if I fell behind? My mind spun. So many stupid worries!

('This was exetreme.' I just love Fallen and her personality xD)

Iron Claw: "You're not gonna fall behind! We'll keep pace with you, Sage, and Aayumi with her pups. Aayumi will protect you on the way. She likes you."

Sage: "I saw a tree!"

Alice- I nodded a little. But still edgy. I noticed about an hour had passed. Others always read my mind, didn't they? Aayumi! I hadn't seen her since she had her pups. My tail tip twitched as I flickered an ear and tilted my head a little. Was it me or did I just swore I heard Sage say she saw a tree?

(lol)

Iron Claw: "You go talk with Aayumi. I'm going to go organize some stuff with Fleur." I got up and shook out my coat and walked off.

Alice- I felt slightly disappointed when he walked off, but perked up and ran off to find Aayumi. Reaching out with my mind, I called out. Aayumi?

(*Alice falls over log* o.O CLUMSY. Pay attention! XD)

(lol)

Aayumi: My ears perked. "Alice?"

(I'm clumsy. I fall over air sometimes. NO KIDDIN. I was walking in the hallway at school once and I like tripped over nothing but air. XD)

Alice- I heard the voice and burst from the bushes nearby Aayumi. "I have to speak with you where we can't be heard," I said in a rush. I hoped she didn't bring her pups along.

Aayumunari: I saw the red wolf through my newly opened eyes. My eyes were blue. Well... that's what mother said.

Keapamy: I smiled when I saw the red wolf.

Aayumi: "You guys stay here." I whispered. I got out of my den and followed Alice. "What is it, Alice?"

Alice- I was practicly bursting with nervousness. "I already told IronClaw this but...." I paused and took control of myself. "I'm having pups." I said in a rush, hopping from paw to paw like I was insane or something. "I don't really know what to do and I'm confused and..... UUUURGGGH."

(Someone has ants in their fur. C:)

Aayumi: "This is great! But on our travels when you become too heavy tell me. We'll find camp until the pups are born! I'm by your side the whole way! You can rant to me and be as mean as you want. I'll understand! I can't wait! You'll love being a mother when they're born!" I nearly leaped into the air with joy! "And why can't anyone hear that you had pups? They need to know so they can prepare." I licked her cheek in a friendly way.

Sage: "No, after I saw it everything darkened. I'll tell my mom later... I gotta tell Aayumi... or Recluse... maybe Danalli.... or..." I raced off toward camp. I couldn't see but my smell was great. I leaped up on the giant rock and howled until I was sure everyone was there. "My pack. I may be blind... but I will not let you down... but Starpack let's me see when I ca-" I looked down and small flashes of wolves hit my brain. Pink blue, red, black, gray.... every color. Then they turned black. "I saw you. I saw a tree.."

Alice- I listened to her rant. Oh. My. God. Totally surprised, slowly I sat down and stared at her. "uhhh... That's great and all but why must we all wait on me? It makes me feel.... Uhh.. Sorta useless." I admitted, feeling akward. I didn't ever like it when I hadto sit around, stuck somewhere while others did things I would have been helping with. "Your's mate is Kep... And Iron Claw is Kep's uncle... I think... So I'm somehow realated to you all now?" I asked, confused as to what I was even saying. Pausing, I added on to that. "Sage was yelling something about seeing a tree earlier..."

(That was off topic. XD)

Aayumi: "Yes... let me think... Snowflake is my step mother and is Iron Claw's sister. Kep is my mate and Snowflake's son, which makes him Iron Claw's nephew. Which makes Kep your nephew-in-law, which makes me your niece-in-law, right?"

Alice- I slowly nodded. "I've never really had a family before..."

Aayumi: "Me neither..."

Alice- Atleast Aayumi understood. "How are your pups?" I managed to say.

Aayumi: "Strong...."

Alice- I nodded. "Like Kep."
