Butch felt a small grow rip through his throat, how dare she tell him how to treat the situation. "Fine Moth, lets go." His voice had a small hint of irratation in it.

Mishka looked at Ian, her eyes cold "Ian, we just figured out we are sisters, I think out of all of the canines here, her and I need to talk." She felt her eyes calm even more as she realized the look she was giving him. "I'm sorry Ian, I shouldn't have- I need to cool down." She stalked forward toward Kishma.

"Thank you," Moth said, though with no appreciation in her voice. She hurried passed Butch to catch up with Mishka. "Hold on. We're coming with you."

Ian held his stance as Mishka snapped at him, but turned away with his ears down when Moth and Butch went by him. He hated feeling useless and, for some reason, being yelled at by Mishka hurt. A lot.

Kishma kept running until she was somewhere in the middle of the forest. She wasn't really caring where she was at the moment.

Mishka nodded to Moth, sparks of hatred went off in Mishka, she was gone her whole life, she could've changed things. "Fine, just keep up okay?" Mishka took off at full speed, all of her anger acting lie the fuel that made her as fast as eagle. But guilt hung over Mishka like a weight, weighing her down extremley. "Keep your head straight Mishka." She scolded herself as she pushed her muscles forward until she found herself in the middle of the woods, her nose detecting her sister's scent.

Kishma heared paws running closer and ducked behind a large rock. She knew she'd be found, but maybe if she was hiding, whoever it was would realize she didn't want to talk and just go away.

Moth ran, but struggled to keep up with Mishka's pace because she was a wolf and because she was older. She finally caught up with her in the middle of the woods where Kishma's scent was strong.

Mishka walked behind the rock and sat down next to her sister. "We can't hide from the truth, we're family, and we have to deal with it." She looked around at the cold snow that covered the ground, her paw pads felt numb. "Its better than no family at all.." She muttered, still looking distantly at the snow.

Butch struggled to keep up with his daughter and former mate, due to his long injured leg. "Dang leg, might as well chop the ol' thing off!" He spat at it, still limping towards the group.

Kishma tucked her muzzle under her front legs, as if trying to prove she could hide from reality. After a moment she finally spoke up. "It's not like I'm not glad to have a sister. Or even a father. But they both kept that secret for so long. I just wish they'd never separated us, or at least told us. Maybe than I wouldn't have felt like such a failure as a wolf."

Mishka used her muzzle to lift her sister's up. "We'll figure this out sis, and you, you are no failure." She smiled, a warm orb sorrounded them, she guessed it was their sisterly bond acting.

Nuka looked over at Ian "Dude...This is intense." He whispered, his ears layed flat back.

Kishma couldn't help but to return Mishka's smile. She felt like their sisterly bound was being repaired as a warmth seemed to be shared between just the two sisters. Kishma sighed, standing up with more confidence than she felt. "I knew we will. I just wonder how everyone else will react." A smirk spread on her lips as she though of something. "You know what? I bet every else is talking about us nonstop right now."

"Yeah, you're telling me," Ian said, still a little down being away from both Kishma and Mishka. He had been thinking and had come to the conclusion that the strange feelings he had for Mishka must have been because she and Kishma were sisters. And because Ian had a brotherly connection with Kishma, of course he would feel the same for Mishka! But... it didn't feel the same. Still, it was as good an excuse as any if Nuka or any of the other wolves asked again.

Moth sat a few feet from where she knew Kishma and Mishka were. She wanted the two of them to have some time to reconnect before she had to face both her daughters again.

"Wow," Tony said loudly, breaking the silence that had come across the camp ever since the family out burst. No one had spoken much except Nuka and Ian speaking quietly by the gate. "So, this is gonna be akward when they come back, huh?" he asked all the dogs in general.

Ivy had laid herself in Inuit's kennel, laying on her back and playing with a loose piece of wood over her head. She rolled over onto her stomach when Tony spoke. She looked around at the other dogs there, wondering what thoughts were going through their heads.

Mishka laughed lightly "Yeah knowing the team, they are chattering my old poodles at the groomer's." She let out a small laugh before glancing over at her mom, their mom. The word seemed alien, but she liked it.

Butch sighed and looked over at Moth "Moth I-...I'll admit I've been hard on Mishka, and I think thats why she is angry with you." He whispered quietly.

Nuka sighed "But whats going to happen after they come back, I mean...will things just go back to normal?" He looked around at the other dogs and wolves.

Inuit smiled at Ivy as he crawled into his dog house next to her "Its cold out there.." He lied, beginninng to pretend to shiver, he was a good actor.

Kishma forced a chuckle at Mishka's joke, not really understanding it since she was a wolf and hardly knew what a poodle or groomer was. She looked in the same direction as Mishka, at her mother and father. "I guess I should go say sorry to Bu-... um, Dad... for yelling at him earilier."

"And I'm sorry about Kishma's behavior," Moth said. "She doesn't like to be left out of a secret. Especailly when its about her. I should have warned you she would react badly."

"I hope not," Ian muttered, wanting to be able to see Mishka again as much as he could.

"I hope so," Tony said the same time as Ian. "No offence, but this whole wolf thing is starting to get a little too strange for me."

Ivy smiled at Inuit, cuddling up with him to share body warmth. "Aw, you poor thing," she said, resting her head on his paws.

Mishka realized she didn't get the joke and giggled "A poodle is a stuck up breed of dog that has to get the two-legs to bathe them, they gossip the whole time." She explained, a small smile on her jaw. She wondered if life was so different in the forest. "Well he is a jerk either way, but to get on his good side I suggest you do so." Mishka stood up and stretched a little before trotting over to her father and sitting infront of him.

Echo sighed "I wish we could just all join together, you wolves aren't as master says, he says you guys steal food and are rabid animals, but I don't think so." She shrugged, shifting her paws slightly.

Inuit blushed heavily "Hehe, yeah, its freezing out there." He snuggled a little closer to her. "Its going to suck when you go back.." His eyes drifted from her eyes to his paws, shoulders sagging.

Nuka looked over at Echo and laughed playfully at the word 'master'."Yeah, you guys aren't as bad as the pack member's say, you guys are pretty tough and don't seem very selfish." A small smirk grew on his face at the thought of the sled team and the wolves fighting in a battle, they would defiantly win.
