Raif twitched slightly as he felt his blood go white hot again. This time, though. it remained for a longer period of time.
What the heck? The black brute growled to himself, leaping to his feet.
For a moment, the world itself seamed to be on fire. Raif panicked, his body melting within himself. Just when he thought he couldn't take it anymore, it stopped.
Releived, the brute panted hard, his eyes a bit glazed over.
Slowly, the brute lowered his head and plopped on the ground, feeling as his life had been drained from him.
(Du-du-DUNNNNN! Where the crap is Honda?)

ooc:uhh... apparently i'm not thinking what ur thinking anymore?lol
Corwin started as Raif jumped up as in pain. He stared wide-eyed as the wolf seemed to him, go crazy. What was going on....he thought. He felt a shiver go up his spine as he witnessed the unknown, and then narrowed his eyes slightly. He stood up and backed up a few steps, till he felt his haunches brush the side of the cave.
" Are you alright Raif? he asked, showing suspicion and concern in the same twisted expression. He felt him self relax slightly as Raif seemed to have settled down, but he still was not as calm as he could be. He considered leaving and exploring the new pack territory. At least then he wouldn't be able to get himself stuck in the middle of things that were obviously not intended for him to be a part of.

(ooc-I'm trying to decribe what's happening to the poor brute... I guess I'm not doing a good job, lol... From what I've read, what's happening happens in stages, so yea. Please bear with me.. Plus, trying to kill time until Honda gets here)
Raif sweezed his orbs shut as he gasped for breath.
Easy there brute. It's okay. Raif thought to himself as he gained his breath. Its another one of those panic attacks. You need to slow down.
Slowly, Raif opened his orbs and blinked up at Corwin who was backed up against the cave wall, looking rather frightened.
Growling to himself, Raif slowly gained his feet, his muscles tight and stiff.
Shaking slightly, Raif gazed over at Corwin, head and dial slightly lowered.
"I'm okay. I'm sorry if I scared you. Ever since Ash.... Raif winced to himself.
He doesn't know about Ash... Raif thought grimly.

Cloud eyed Raif, concerned.
"Are you all right? Are you in pain? Can I help?"
Cloud was a natural sympthizer with those who were ill. Then she heard the words, "Ever since Ash..." Ash what? What's an ash?

Corwin settled down as Raif confirmed he was alright. He sat down and let himself relax and get in control again. That had startled him, and now he just looked at Raif inquisitively. It had been so sudden, and then so brief. And now he was alright? It seemed odd to Corwin, like it didn't quite add up. He opened mouth slightly to show sympathy or concern, but was beaten too it by Cloud. Ah well, his mouth shut with a metallic click. Corwin's face was now the perfect mask of coolness and calm, but really his mind was buzzing with questions. Ash, he or she was obviously very important to Raif, seeing as this kind of thing had started happening after...whatever had happened to Ash. Or maybe Ash left...Corwin's mind was bubbling with conclusions and expectations.
" Oh, " he said simply. " YOu are sure you're alright? i mean, If you are feeling okay and all. He had waited a moment after Cloud had started speaking, so as not to cut her off.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Raif plopped down uncofortably on his haunches.
"I'm fine. It's okay now." The black and brown brute growled.
Sympathy made him feel weak, and not in control. Something a once-alpha hated to feel.
Why did I let that slip out? Stupid! He thought miserably, not looking up at the others.

(grr...i don't know how to reply.)
Corwin nodded absentmindedly. He didn't know what to think of this "Ash," but did not want to upset Raif anymore. He could tell he didn't want to talk, seeing he had replied in such a laconic manner. Instead he lifted his paws and started to bite the mud off. It was getting annoying. As he continued to groom, he glanced up at Raif for a moment. He was not looking at anybody in particular, maybe avoiding eye contact? Corwin had no idea, he was already tired of the deception and lies in a pack. Things aren't supposed to be this way, he though dejectedly.
(o my gosh. this is like my worst post yet....sry)

Head lowered, emerald eyes downcast, Bullet made his unhurried way up the shallow slope leading to the Second Cave. He reached the lip and glanced once over his shoulder to make sure Dearheart was following, before disapearing into the recesses of the cave with a florish.
The dark brute turned slowly around to face the entrance, before taking a step forward. His face and stomach were bathed in light, whilst his back, tail and hind legs were cast in shadow. He watched Dearheart closely, noticing once more that she was injured, but this time actually registering the information.
"You're hurt." He grunted unhelpfully, nodding at the gash in her side.

Cloudshadow, having made sure Raif was all right, left Corwin with him after quietly whispering to him.
"I think he should be all right. But if something like this happens again, I can leave a plant for you that might help. It's called vervain. It looks sort of like a weed, but it's very bright green and has three leaves on each side of its stem. Here- I can get some for you now."
Cloud trotted out of the cave, thinking she had seen a nod from Corwin. Oh well, the vervain would still be useful anyway. She looked around, and spotted Bullet and a new femme. Hmmm, she didn't look good. Cloud would help her later.

Raif grunted and sat down with a plopand watched Corwin uneasily chew the mud off his paws.
But the brute didn't care. All he wanted to do was sleep. He was so tired.. And so thirsty.
But he didn't want to leave the cave. His limbs felt like lead.
The black brute panted gently and watche Cloud whisper in Corwins ear, but he didn't care. All he wanted to do now was drink his fill and sleep.
Licking his lips, the black and brown brute laid down.

She heard it. It was the howl she had been waiting for. The femme lifted her snow-white head and listened with her co-cked auds. The howl had come- the alphess had howled for a pack meeting. It was time. And there was something Taint needed to know about.
Cloud turned back toward the cave, full of joy. It was amazing, how much she had changed since she came to Misty Moors. Before, she was a timid, quiet, dirty, withdrawn wolf who always was respectful to all, be they alphas or kerls. Now, she was a useful part of the pack, and it showed. She was full of life, energy, caring, sympathy, compassion, love. And she was sparkling clean.
No more did the Cloud of old show. This was a new Cloud- one with a purpose in life. No more did she bow and grovel to the will of all. She stood up for herself- she helped others through the rough spots. Perhaps the rest of the pack did not see that, but she was changed. For good, and for the better. She had been made again- and she was loving it.
The old Cloud would have scurried away in fear if another wolf had collapsed in front of her, like Raif just had. But the new Cloud remembered, and knew what to do. But that didn't matter anymore. The new Cloud heard the call of the alphess, and her heart soared. This was only the second time she had heard the call, and it meant more now than it had ever meant before.
"Come on!" she called to the others in the second cave.
"The alphess, Taint, has called a meeting for the whole pack. She wishes us to come to her right away, for she most likely has something to tell us. I believe it must be important, for it is not yet time to call the monthly meeting. We should go immediately, for it has to be important."
Cloud looked at the two wolves that had just arrived.
"You should probably come too, even if you did just get accepted into the pack."
Cloud smiled, a little sheepishly. (ooc: no pun intended.)
bic: "Uh- by the way, what is your name?"
ooc: that question is addressed to dearheart btw.

(oooooor i could just rp now...lol)
Corwin:
Corwin just stared into space as Cloud started whispering in his ear. There was too much going on. And what was this about a plant? He was no healer. He was just a random wolf with a few good hunting skills. Which no one had asked him about actually. He nodded absentmindedly as wolves continued to speak. This was getting dull, he thought. His ears twitched with annoyance.
Suddenly he heard a howl. Taint's howl. She sounded like she wanted wolves. His thoughts were confirmed with Cloudshadow's joyous outburst. He smiled to himself, a warm smile. Now he would be able to meet all of the wolves. Hopefully they weren't all as confusing as this Raif fellow. Not that Corwin didn't enjoy his company, just these random spazes freaked him out. If only a little. He got to his feet and followed Cloud, presumably to the third cave.
Dearheart:
Dearheart sighed as Bullet mentioned her wounds. Yes, I am hurt, she thought rather irritated, usually when a wolf is covered with blood it means they are hurt. But she didn't show any of this, instead she looked at the ground and muttered softly, "Yes, I am." Then turned her head to start cleaning the wound on her side. The blood was almost dried now, and it came off unwillingly. But it did come off, although she still was not even close to the picture of health.
Dearheart started as a white female addressed her. She froze then, her eyes wide. My name...she wants to know my name. She opened her mouth slightly, but nothing came out. Dearheart cursed herself inwardly, Say something you idiot! She shook herself slightly, then spoke quietly, "Um, Dearheart." She turned herself slightly, showing she was ready to follow the white femme. On to the third cave then. She desperately hoped they wouldn't introduce the newcomers. That was all she needed right now, to be made the center of attention.
