Bran bit down harder, because he didn't want to show any pain either. He snarled, trying to act tough, until they heard a loud Bark. Brady stood over them, snarling, and looking kinda peeved.

"Now that's ENOUGH! I want you two to start treating each other with Respect!" he growled, pulling the two apart.

Rii was on her feet as well, picking up Eureka and sitting her down away from Bran, separating them.
"It's not my fault he's stupid!" Eureka stuck her tongue out at her brother.

The wolf in Brady raged out, bristleing his fur and his hackles rose. He Snarled wildly And stepped on both the pups tails.
"NOW LISTEN!!" He snarled."YOU TWO WILL BEHAVE, OR YOU'RE NOT LIVING IN MY CAVE ANYMORE, AND GOOD LUCK FEEDING YOURSELVES!!!!!" he shouted at the quivering balls of fluff, and he stomped outside. Bran quivered and looked up at Rii for answers to his father's sudden outburst.

Eureka didn't say another word, despite how much she wanted to growl back at her father. Her ears simply folded back against her head.
"Brady..." Rii said, moving in between Brady and the pups. "I think...they got it.." Rii said, not liking his sudden rage toward Bran and Eureka.

He breathed hard in and out, panting, almost crying. "Rii. I-i... i don't know what happened, i just..." he sat down, looking at his paws, feeling ashamed. Bran sat inside, searching for answers, and he padded to the back of the cave, trying to think.

Rii sat down beside Brady, putting her paw over his. "It's okay..." she reassured him.
Eureka walked off a few feet and lay down, her tail wrapped around her nose quietly.

Brady Pawed back into the cave, tailbetween his legs.
"Reka? Listen, im sorry about lashing out on you.... You know i love you, right?" brady pushed his big nose up against her little one, and licked her tuft of hair on the top of her head.

Eureka looked up at her father and smiled. "It's okay daddy. I love you too." Her tail thumped the floor, wagging happily.

He smiled and Licked her cheek, then looking around for Bran. "Wheres...your brother?" He asked, taking a few steps towards the back of the cave, sniffing the air.

"He went farther back," Eureka said. "..i think.."
Rii padded back into the cave, looking around for Bran.

Brady sneaked a worried glance at Rii, and picked up Eureka and put her on his back. "Well, we gotta find him, right?" Brady walked back into the cave. Not long after he found Bran laying in the back, curled into a tight ball crying.

"Bran? Im sorry about earlier, listen it's okay, don't cry, we're all here." Brady lay down around his two pups, and sighed.
Suddenly, there was a clanking noise and human voises.

Are you sure you saw her in here? one said.
Yeah, she's MY dog, i kicked her out, but i've been watching her a while, i think she breeded with that Wolf thing i Saw at mah house last year. The other voice said, and one of them sighed.

Alarmed Brady looked at Rii's eyes, and he quivered with fear for his family.

Rii had sat herself down beside Brady. The humans' voice perked her ears and her head swiveled to the direction the voices came from. "oh no..." Rii whispered quietly, getting back on her paws. Rii looked over at Brady. "I'll...lead them off.." she said quietly.

"Rii, No. I can get em away, listen, take Bran and Reka out the back. I'll be back." Brady didn't wait for a second oppinion as he pushed the pups under Rii. "You two, listen to your mom, no matter what okay?" he looked at them with loving eyes.
"But dad i-"
"No buts. Don't come after me. I love you all." he licked his pups tiny little noses and turned. He began to trot to the mouth of the cave.

Rii folded her ears back, she wasn't fond of the idea, but she had no time to object. Eureka watched her father trot further to the entrance of the cave before Rii nudged them further into the cave.
"Come on," Rii said, herding them deeper into the cave, going out the back exit.
"But what about daddy?" Eureka whined.
"He'll..be fine." Rii said. I hope.. she finished her sentence in her thoughts.

As brady continued towards the mouth of the cave, he saw two silhouettes moving in his direction. he shrank down, and let them pass. They can't find Her. They are MY family! he though, and Brady stepped out. He was standing infront of the sun, so his shadow looked much larger, and he snarled viciously. The hunters swerved around, and took a quick breath.

Thats the Wolf!! Rii's old owner said, and he pulled out Rii's old collar. That caught Brady's attention, and he whimpered a bit at the memory of Rii walking through the woods all battered up.

Common Wolfie, you wouldn't want me to hurt HER would you? the hunter coaxed, slowly walking towards Brady. the other looked at Him with curious eyes.
Man common, leave the wolf, and we can get outta here!!!! He said, and held the other's shoulder.

Do you know, how much this wolf's fur would be worth? Look at the colors! He's unique, and i want him. The hunter made up his mind, and reached out his hand towards Brady. It's okay boy, im not going to hurt you....! he jumped and pinned Brady to the ground, and pulled a muzzle on him. Brady squirmed and thrashed, clawed, but he couldn't get off the muzzle. Instead now he was too worried about Rii Bran and Eureka, so he howled a series of whimpers trying to get them to run out the back.
