Too tired.

[Virus]

Staggering inside, Virus fell into the little hole that was his den. He had been hunting and running all day. He drifted to sleep, it was all dark, and very cold. The wind nipped at his fur. He looked around, a bright light showed. It was daytime, and warm all of a sudden. He was at a ranch, with stables, with horses! (Duh) Virus fell back, as a stampede of Fresians. [shadow=red,left,300]Oh crap.[/shadow] He thought, this was a show maybe? Oh well, he just had to get the hell out of there before his neck was broken. He found an opening, avoiding the draft horses Virus made it out. But the biggest stepped on him. Virus awoke with a gasp. It was just a dream. God, he had always been afraid of dieing by a horse. Oh well, he was okay and that was all that mattered I guess. He stood up looking to see if anyone saw his little moment.

[~Shivia~]

Shivia walked in to the cave and shook her pelt. It had been snowing lightly when she had been out hunting, and the snow was beginning to melt, soaking her fur. The sun had begun to set, and it cast long shadows along the front of the cave were she stood, making her white fur look dark. She gazed silently around the cave, her head slightly drooping from weariness.

Shivia spotted her mate laying in his den, and she padded over to him. She gave him an affectionate lick on the muzzle and layed down beside him, her pelt touching his.
" Is something wrong?" She asked him, seeing the look on his face. She knew he often had, weird dreams, but who doesn't? She leaned gently on him, gazing lovingly at his beautiful face.

[Virus]

"Oh, I'm fine, just another........ dream." He replied. He returned her lick with a lick upon her head. Virus though of what would happen if it came true. He pushed the thought out of his mind. He looked at his mate affecionately and his eyes filled with concern. Where had she been? She looked so cold. He flanked her trying to warm her up a bit.
"Are you okay?"
He stared at the rocks piled by the entrance. He couldn't remember what he was trying to do with them.

[~Shivia~]

Shivia gazed loveingly at her mate.

" Im fine. Just a bit cold, its snowing again out there." She replyed, and also looked towards the cave entrance. She hoped the snow would stop soon, the whole pack needed to go out on a hunt, a large one. They couldnt survive forever on just rabbits and mice.

Shivia stretched her front legs forward, and layed her head on her paws. She was getting more tired and not before long, her eyes closed, and she felt herself slip in to a light, dreamless sleep.

[Virus]

Virus looked at his mate asleep. He decided to go hunting. He quietly slipped out of the cave into the freezing cold. It was sooo cold, she must've been out when it was warmer.

[~Shivia~]

Shivia woke some time later, to find that her mate was gone. She raised her head, and parted her jaws in a silent yawn. She got to her paws and walked slowly to the cave entrance. The snow was still comeing dwn, but not as hard. A blast of icy cold wind ruffled Shivia's fur and she shivered.

She turned her head, and looked at the rest of the pack, who seemed to all ber sleeping. With a sigh, she padded out of the cave. She decided to go hunting again, she would need the exstra weight when it came time to have pups.

[Snowfire]

Snowfire was resting her eyes half closed when she saw her mother get up assuming she was going hunting she wondered if she wanted help or company Snowfire got up and padded out avoiding the other wolves "Hunting?" she asked her voice cool and flowing with every syllible

[~Shivia~]

Shivia haulted and turned around at the sound of her daughters voice. She smiled kindly at her kin.

" Yes, I am going out to hunt, would you like to join me?" She asked, wagging her tail slowly from one side to the other. She would be glad to have the compony while out hunting.

[Virus]

Virus trotted back with half a doe. He had to battle a Lynx for it. He saw that his mate was gone, the tired wolf followed her scent trail. It led him to the two faes. "Hello you two." He set down what was remaining of the deer. He pushed it towards them.
Virus looked down at a small rabbit. The urge of life in the snowcovered world surged through hin. "Be right back." He swiftly ran after it, and with a swift blow, it was in his mout. Licking his chops Virus set it down.

[Snowfire]

"Sure" She nodded "Hey" she greeted to her father "Where you wanna go?" She asked Shiva Walking forward then turning back

[~Shivia~]

Shvia greeted her Mate with a wag of her tail. She wathced as he turned away and chased after a good sized rabbit. The hunger for the hunt stired in her, and she almost chased after it as well, but she reminded herself that Virus could easily cathc it on his own.

" Why dont we head towards the river. Im sure there will be some deer there, mabe if the three of us work together, we can acualy bring one down." She suggested. She was dieing to hunt with her pack mates again. It had been so long, seeing that prey was scarce, and they had lost some members over the hard winter already.

[Snowfire]

"Let's go then" Snowfire barked then stretched into a run towards the hunting place

[Virus]

Virus gave a sideways glance toward his prey. He buried it and without hesitation ran too, but the other way. He did not know where he was going, but something told him he should. The brute halted and looked back at the tracks he made. Now he followed them back. He did not find what he was looking for. Head to the ground, nose sniffing he accidentally bumped into Snowfire. "Sorry." He mumbled and kept on tracking. When he held up his head he met a male moose. This was their chance. He looked at his mate and daughter. He shot them a warning look, this moose had huge hooves.

[Snowfire]

Snowfire carefully studied the moose then quickly and quietly not making a sound moved to the otherside of it so she was about 130 degrees around the moose

[Virus]

Virus moved toward it, but he was looking at his mate. To see if she would come and help, steady but swift his stupidity overtook. He leapt upon the prey and clutched onto it's nape. He snapped at it's throat and held his grip. Being tossed back and forth by the moose's body he howled in pain as he was tossed into the air and hit the ground. He was knocked out, unconscious his ribs faintly moved as he fought to breath. Had his dream come true?

[Snowfire]

Snowfire gasped as her father was thrown down but she ran underneath the moose avoiding the large death seeking hooves and snapped her jaws on three of the four legs making it fall down it's neck already gushing from Virus's bite it didn't give much of a fight She hurried over to her father

[Virus]

Virus had a gash in his ribs, it was minor. He got up and stared at the moose. He leapt upon it and put all the strenght he had into his tearing at the throat. He collasped, gasping for breath. His sides heaved and he limped back to his den. The femmes could finish the moose off. That was all that mattered, was that the pack was fed. He sat down and tried to sleep, but his eyes stayed open. It was cold, so cold.

[Snowfire]

Snowfire watched her father after killing the moose she took a large slab of of it's meat and took it to Virus who was in his den she laid it down next to him without saying anything she bowed her head and backed out of the den

[Virus]

Virus watched his daughter, she left. He wanted to say something but stayed quiet. Maybe this way nothing would be worn out. His throat burnt, and he had a low rumble in his throat, he didn't want to sound hostile either. He lied down and stared at the meat and started to eat it. His canines tearing each chunk.
