Occ:// I'll pm him too. Maybe if we bug him enough, he'll post.

Bic:// Saba sighed. "That's ridiculous. You're a great leader. But of course I'll help you find someone. But, um, wouldn't your pack want your mate to be a wolf? Why are you looking in a town full of dogs?"

Jess giggled at the term. "Sure, sounds fun," she said. "So, where do we start?"

Ooc:// He answered me and told me he was busy. I asked when eh thought he'd post and told him about the award to interest him.

"Honestly, they ahve made me look at almost every lone wolf we've come across and none are right for me. But here... I know these dogs. Some are wofldogs so the pack can deal with that okay and if I pick apurebred, well, they'll deal. All they said was a mate, they didn't specify." Aleu grinned since this was reminding her of making mischeif when she was younger.

Shiloh laughed and padded around her, taking the lead. "I dunno. Do you know any humans that you'd like to win over or should we just window shop for a while?"

2 things:

1) Just because two of you send me PM's, wont make me reply quicker.
2) If you bug me, there would be less chance of me replying.



I knew about the award anyway.




Although i'm busy, i'm going to be very very nice and post a very short and pointless (jk) post ;] Hope I can be of service.




Luke Nodded at Maple and smiled.

Thats all your getting outta me!

Luke looked at Maple and smiled, "You've been forgiven." He said smiling, before noticing something behind him, he noticed Maple's chang in attitude and instantly knew it was Swift, Maple's brother, whom from what he knew, hated his guts. Because Luke didn't want to start any toruble, he stood up and walked away from the two "I'll be... Wherever" He said, like he'd just been dumped or something, his voise from being happy cheerful Luke, turned into Sad-depressed Conay, his body language suggested that he thought Swift would get protective over Maple, and start pecking at Luke, so he decided not to bother with Swift and just leave.

As he left the house, he sat in there medium-sized garden and looked through a rather large hole which has amerged through there fence, probably a quick way for Maple and Swift to get through, but whatever - He didn't give a toss what Swift thought, he wasn't able to give himself a chance, so he wasn't going to give Swift a chance. He took a deep breath as he saw this female olf strollng accross the beach in a s.l.u.t.t.y sort of way. Luke's mouth dropped in horror "Even this town has bloody w.h.o.r.e.s!" He yelled, before uddenly covering his mouth realising she could hear him. "Oh ship" He mumbled to himself, hoping she wouldn't come over to him, but it was obvious someone like her would.

Maple had noticed the female saunter down to the beach. She knew this female, she was called Lisa and was the town bicycle. She leapt off the roof and ran as she saw Swift. She made her way down to the beach but stopped short, she stood behind a boat watching. She had noticed Lisa walk towards Luke and a growl came from her mouth. She shook her head with confusion. 'No don't growl, you don't like him in that way, you don't even know him' She tilted her head then looked back to the couple.

Lisa made her way towards Luke. 'Ah a new dog in town' She fluffed up her fur as she neared him, then circled him. 'Well hello there ... ?' She crawled under him then jumped up at his muzzle and licked it.

Swift was watching with happiness brimming from his grin. He hoped wherever Maple was she would be watching this. He got up with a happy grin and walked towards Luke and Lisa. 'Well isn't this nice, i see you have met Lisa, Luke. And by the looks of it you two are going to get on perfectly' he looked to Lisa with a grin 'Maybe more than friends he looks suited to it, and he wont be around Maple anymore, so there is no chance of her having puppies' He sighed and sat down unaware of what was coming next.

Lisa looked up at Swift then Luke, before rolling onto her back and licking his muzzle again 'yeah he is a good looking wolf'

Maple had heard everything Swift said, anger started to boil inside her. Like a bat out of hell she was off, headed straight towards Swift then with one pounce she had him knocked to the floor. She bit and clawed him absolutely fuming. She turned and looked at Lisa before getting hit in the side of the face by Swift which knocked her for six. She looked up at him as he stood over her with a paw on her throat. She growled again but had a few witty tricks up her sleeves. She looked to her left 'Oh hi dad' She then grinned as her plan worked. Instantly Swift let go of his grip and looked to the left. Maple leapt up and bit his ear before pulling. Hard. Suddenly she flew backwards in a somersault with blood down her chest and paws, she looked at herself confused before seeing she had ripped the top of Swift's ear off. She looked at him shocked before he turned with a growl and smacked her round the face with his paw, leaving three claw marks deep in her face. The force of the hit sent her to the side and she hit the floor with a horrible thud. Swift looked back at Lisa who had quickly scarpered. He turned to Maple and growled before nudging her 'Get Up!' He growled again and nudged her but with more worry in his face. Still no movement from Maple, he turned and looked at Luke before hearing a few howls, then running off like lightning.

She flinched slightly as she felt a tear drop onto her nose then she felt something else, the more she came back to her senses she realised Luke had kissed her, Her heart started to pound and she could feel herself blushing under her fur.A smile appeared across her face as she flicked her ears then looked up at him with a relieved look. 'i am fine, just in a little bit of pain' She smiles at him before wiping her nose 'you were crying?' She looks at him with her head tilted to the side then licks his muzzle thankfully 'I'm fine just need to get my bearings back' She sits up slowly and shakes her head 'At Least Swift's gone he shouldnt have said those things at all, he was wrong. he isnt coming into my home again' She looks about 'and Lisa better not come near you' She smiles at him in an embarrassed fashion, she realised she sounded very possesive over him 'you ok?' She wipes some blood off her face then looks down at herself with a slight growl. 'Stupid Swift getting his blood all over me' She chuckles dryly.

Swift had ran into town and to his owners house. He was getting cleaned up and bandaged, he sat growling to himself but he found himself to be quite shocked, he couldnt believe Maple had attacked him, she was never like that. He shuddered slightly before looking up at his owner and walking off. He went back outside and looked around he then walked over to Saba and Aleu 'Hey girls' He sat down.

Aleu laughed. "Oh, please! Do I ever care about getting in trouble, Saba?" Tehn she looked at Swift, alarmed. "Dang, what happened to you, boy?" She cocked her head and twitched an ear. "You look all shaken up."

Shiloh laughed and lead the way through the alley. "Follow me Mademoiselle." He chuckled and flicked his tail. "Okay, It hink we can just look in tehir windows and see what kind of people they are. We can also tell about them from trash believe it or not."

Maple shook her head as he looked away. As before she was good at reading people and could tell what he was thinking. 'well i better get home' She stands up and walks off before looking down at her paw and growling to herself before lifting it up then carrying on again. She thought about Luke he seemed quite shy when she mentioned a few things and wondered why. He was new to town there was no way he could like her like that anyway, in her opinion there were much nicer females in town. She passed a few on her way home and lowered her head before stopping suddenly as she caught sight of Swift. She jumped up onto some boxes then over a fence before sitting down in an alley way silently.

'Just got i a little bit of a fight that's all' He shook his head but then smiled at his two sisters. 'how are you both?' He asked as he looked to his left and caught a flash of red. His eyes widened and he stood up before looking at Aleu and Saba 'You haven't seen Maple about have you? i have to take her to meet someone from my team.' The dog he was going to take her too would be her new 'mate' Or at least that's what the dog thought. Swift felt a pang of guilt hit him but it soon disappeared and was replaced by the feelings of anger and revenge.

Maple decided it would be better if she left. An unlucky turn of events led her to go back the way she came and she waked straight into Swift, Aleu and Saba. 'Hey guys. She quickly sat away from Swift next to Aleu. 'hows it hanging?' she kept a close eye on Swift and sat looking as if she was ready to bolt at any minute, she just hoped Luke would come into town so she could stay near him. There was something bout him that made her feel safe, for one he was bigger than Swift and would be able to take him down in a second. Secondly there was an ambiance about him that just made her feel different, it was strange indeed. She shook her head and turned her attention back to her older siblings.

Luke smiled at Maple as she left, then was about to ask her if her paw was ok, but her gorwling reaction made him think she was growling at him, do he deicded to leave it. He jumped up on the fence, and then walked along the main street before seeing Maple and Swift colide, he jumped behind a fence and watched Maple, Alue, Saba and Swift talk, he noticed Swift's body posture(sp?), like he was going to attack Maple and get revenge on her, and then he looked at Maple's, who looked like she was ready to sprint away at the nearest oppotinity. However, he never wanted to intrude, just incase he was attacked by Swift... But the only reason he never wanted to be attacked by Swift, even if he knew he could tae him on, was because he was related to Maple.

He looked at Alue, and the way she thought she was "I am your Queen, bow to me!", and Saba... Well, he didn't think much of her either. However, his eyes kept drawing back to Maple, her red fur and her hazel eyes attracted him like the strongest magnet in the world, she looked so beautiful, he had come to realise that, but never the less, her personality was also beautiful, she was sweet, friendly, and kind, everything a male could wish for in a female, not to mention himself.

He continued to stare at her, in a way, he hoped he would get noticed, just to ease Maple up slightly, and make her feel safe because he was there, but even he knows, Maple still isn't safe, especially with thoes wounds. He shook his head and looked back at her, however he noticed she was looking DIRECTLY at him, he smiled and blushed slightly, and put a claw over his mouth, gently saying "shh", he was there, and he hoped he could reasure her that she was okay, even if she wasn't.

OOC:// That post was a FAIL!

Maple saw Luke and felt very relieved, she was really glad he was there so she could bolt off at anytime. She admired him greatly for all he had been through and how he couldnt be bothered to fight Swift. She smiled then went back to the conversation. As she looked around at her siblings she found herself very silent. She normally felt like the outcast so it didn't bother her when her brothers or sisters were called upon by their parents for errands and such. As she turned her attention to Swift she caught a fiery look in his eyes, it made her very uncomfortable. She knew what she would do though and waited for the time int he conversation to come up and as soon as it had, she piped in. 'Hey swift isn't that your musher over there?' She grinned to herself as once again Swift looked. With a jump she was up and off she ran towards the fence and jumped over it , landing awkwardly on her paw, before standing up and shaking her fur. She chuckled to herself 'Same old gullible Swift. you would think he may have learned that trick by now' She smiled having the advantage of silence made her all the more wary of her surroundings and she had many tricks she could pull to get out of a sticky situation. She shook her head then looked behind her, she saw Luke and wagged her tail slightly. 'Hey'


Swift couldn't believe it! he had been outsmarted again and by his little sister! The freak, outcast , strange pup of the pack. He growled loudly then turned back to Saba and Aleu, he seriously could not be bothered with Maple today, he would get her tomorrow. 'So Aleu, Saba. Whats happening with you two? anything i can help with?' He asked encouragingly as he lick some dry blood from his paw.

Maple sat down and groomed her fur trying to get the blood off. 'i swear there's nothing more i hate than blood' She shudders slightly 'its horrible stuff, seen too much of it' She looked up at Luke who she knew was looking at her. She smiled to herself 'so you going to stay at Swifts?' She joked 'Or maybe even Lisa's . i see you have a thing for her' She laughed as she pushed his shoulder using her paw. She was quite taken aback as she was nearly pushed off her feet 'Jeez! you really are strong! i thought you just looked it'

Maple flicked her ears at the comment, she smiled sweetly at him before watching him walk away. She got up and followed before hearing the second comment and lowering her head. She was well enough back to escape with out being noticed, she walked far off from the house and made her way to the unknown bit of town. She found an alley way and laid down atop some boxes. His comment hit her hard and she flattened her ears, as she thought about the comment her mind reeled back to the first one. 'Outcast'... That word rang in her mind, it had been the start of many a problem in her life, especially when she was a pup. She lifted her head as she thought about it and realised that Luke actually sounded quite patronising in the tone he said it. She shook her head and whined slightly. She would stay where she was tonight, she had to get her mind and more importantly her feelings straight.

Luke was right Swift had heard and had made his way off home. A skip was put into his step he seriously couldnt be any happier than he was right now. Luke didn't love Maple and he knew she wouldn't be going home if she had heard that, this way he could put his second plan into action. He entered his home with glee and licked his owners hand before settling down in front of the fire. As he did this he heard his owner and another man talking, he lifted his head and perked up his ears. 'Yeah... Killed by a bear, a good dog he was too' The man looked to Swift 'The poor old chap, Swift will miss Mica'

Swift jumped up suddenly. Mica! dead! He growled and whined before seeking comfort from his owner, with this unforeseen occurrence Swift's plan had been scarpered, he now couldnt take Maple to Mica and deliver his part of the bargain. He shrugged it off, if Luke carried on with the way he was going, Swift wouldn't have a problem with keeping them seperated.
