DrippingBlood howled the call of a pack meeting.

Fyli had hardly been out hunting very long with Shadow and another beta when she heard a howl from DippingBlood. Their paws empty of any food, they quickly trudged back to the camp. Fyli was curious as to what was going on but remained silent as she slid into camp and looked over to the leader, waiting to hear what she had to say.

Shadow followed Fyli back to camp. When he arrived he sat down next to her. Shadow looked up and waited for DrippingBlood to speak.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DrippingBlood looked down at her pack. "Pack of a Bloody Howl! The time has come to deside wether we fight or not. The Pack of a Blowing Leaf has been stealing our prey." She said. "The question is should we fight them. It is Snowfall (winter) the hardest time of all. The prey is scarce and the packs are most weak at that time. I have come to you to see what you want. Do you think we should go into war?"

Fyli listened attentivly to her leader, carefully processing every word. Her tail twitched uneasily and she took a quick glance at everyone else once DrippingBlood had her say. Should they fight a pack for prey? Yes, it was a hard time now, but....She sighed as her ears drooped a little. It was a hard decision since she was never really one for fighting.
In her mind, she figured the reasoning behind Blowing Leaf stealing their prey would have to be that they're having a rough time, too. 'Perhaps we should just give them a bit of a break,' she thought, staring intently at the ground, though her eyes looked as if she was focused on something much more distant. 'We're managing, right? We shouldn't have to put more stress on ourselves with fighting.'
Fyli lifted her head and, seeing no one had spoken up yet, she tried to use a clear, steady voice. "I say we don't," she said, looking her leader straight in the eye and ignoring a few surprised glances and glares she got from some of the other pack members.

DrippingBlood took a deep breath then sighed. She looked down at Fyli with a hard but soft gaze. "Does anyone disagree with that?" She barked, looking around.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shadow stood up. "I do." He said looking at Fyli then his leader. "They should respect the boarders! We do! The rules apply to everyone. Not just us and the Pack of Flowing Water!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DrippingBlood nodded. She thought about what Shadow had just said. 'Thats true.' She thought.

Fyli cast a sideways glance at Shadow before looking back to her leader. "That's true, yes. But who's to say they aren't having as hard a time as us, if not worse? I wouldn't blame them for disregarding the border rules to survive if the prey is scarce," she insisted, still speaking in a calm voice with just a small edge to it. She didn't care if her words may get her in trouble or something; she had to voice what she thought or else they may be going into an un-needed battle.

DrippingBlood was torn between two arguments. 'Should the packs go into war?' She thought. "Fyli, you have given me an idea. I will take a patrol into the Pack of a Blowing Leaf's territory and see how much, 'trouble' they are having. When my patrol returns I will then make my decision." DrippingBlood said, as she turned to Shadow to see what he had to say about it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shadow nodded, he liked the idea. He knew what was going to happen. DrippingBlood was going to take himself and Fyli with her. Shadow looked back at Fyli to see what her reaction was about his alpha's decision.

Fyli was glad that the leader would decide to take an easy way into this, but she carefully kept her face expressionless as she nodded to what the leader said. She glanced quickly at Shadow, glad to see he wasn't going to continue this arguement, and then awaited the leader's orders.

"Pack meeting dimissed." DrippingBlood said as she hopped down from Highrock. "Shadow, Fyli. Come to my den please." She said as she headed toward her den.

Fyli nodded and followed after her leader, her tail dragging on the ground behind her. For some reason, she found her heart beating quite a bit against her chest. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself and told herself to stay calm.

Shadow looked at Fyli, then padded after DrippingBlood, his tail held high.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DrippingBlood padded silently into her den and sat down in her nest. She looked over at Shadow then back at the entrance, as she waited for Fyli to enter.
((Oh noone knows it but Shadow is DrippingBlood's pup all grown up... ;D))

((DUNDUNDUUUUNNNN! )) Fyli came in just a few moments later and sat before her leader, her back a little straighter than usual. "What are your plans, DrippingBlood?" she asked lightly, trying to hide the fact she was still nervous about this.

DrippingBlood looked over at Shadow, who was smirking. She growled a deep growl and turned to Fyli. "I would like it if you came with me and Shadow to the Pack of a Blowing Leaf's territory to 'check up' on them." She said.

Fyli glanced curiously at Shadowm but then looked back quickly to DrippingBlood as she heard her growl even though she knew it wasn't directed at her. At her command, she simply nodded. "That's fine," she said with the flick of her ear.

"Good." DrippingBlood said. "Get some rest and food. You'll need it."

Fyli frowned slightly. "Then when shall we be leaving?" she asked curiously. "Tomorrow?" She silently wished they could leave now, but it was quite the journey to Blowing Leaf's territory, so she could understand if her leader wanted to wait.

DrippingBlood stopped. "At sundown." She decided.

Fyli bowed her head to both acknowledge what her leader said and to say a silent farewell. She then exited the leader's den to go get a few bites to eat and then lay down; she didn't know if she'd be able to sleep, but she had to try.

Shadow looked at DrippingBlood and nodded. He walked out and to his nest. He lay down and closed his eyes. 'Eating can wait.' He thought to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DrippingBlood sighed and lay down she knew it was going to be a long trip. 'I'll eat later' She thought.
