Birch snarled as she approached the river, a cold wave of fear flooding her pelt.She looked back, still hearing howling just a bit back. "Squrrielflight...Hollyshadow!"She let out a howl."No!"She screeched, Gathering her remaining strength and scrambling up the slope. She saw a black wolf and another unknown coyote attacking Squrrielflight and Hollyshadow. The white Shedog raced down the slope, grabbing Hollyshadow's scruff and flinging the young coyote away from Onyx's Grip."Run, Squrrielflight, Run!" She snarled, kicking the Shedog from Forest's grasp.

Squrrielflight yelped, a sharp pain shooting through her chest, and she winced."Maybe a broken rib or to..."She wheezed, grabbing the barley conscious Hollyshadow by the scruff, and jumping up the slope, her face twisted in pain.

Birch howled loudly, Pain flooding her pelt. She scrambled up the slope, away from the blood thirsty wolves. She slid down the hill, Her head buzzing. She stopped, crouching down, her breath wheezy. "I...."She dropped down, her eye's closing and her sight fading into blackness, and she could hardly hear the noises of the other canines surrounding her.

Squrrielflight set down Hollyshadow, clenching her jaw in pain."Thanks a lot, Aplha....You broke my rib I think."She growled."Alpha?"She crawled over to her Alpha."Alpha?"She murmured."No, no....No no no..."She nudged the white Shedog's pelt."we have to get across the river!"She snarled, raising her voice for every dog to hear.
"I can take one dog with me, I seem to have the least of the wounds." Seeker barked. Walking up to them. "I can see if I can take her."Raksha's ears pricked sharply at the distressed voice. "Who got knocked out this time," she muttered in exhausted irritation. She stopped as she realized how what she had just said sounded. "Wow, living up to the old name now, am I?" she woofed sarcastically to herself. "Who hear has enough fur and strength left to carry themself and another dog across?" she barked loudly, briefly wondering where Storm pack was at.
