Meisha turned again to check her pack and barked a halt at The Theta's words. {Where to now Nefearia?} She asked kindly. {Excuse me a moment} Meisha turned to the pack and called out over the crowd. {Have no fear, all will be well soon.} She looked at the whelps in the center and flattened her ears sadly {I promise} She turned and muttered to herself {i hope}.
Meisha then turned back to Nefearia and said {we'll continue as soon as you're ready to} She then turned to the Zeta on her other side and said {I do hope you know i am very sorry about all this.} Meisha had no idea why she was saying this as it wasn't as if the Zeta would care. Meisha just needed someone to apologize to, it made her feel better.

Dakota shivered, it was cold this weather. She huddled close to the other whelps, as the wind danced around them like ribbions. The new snow was soft under her feet, unable to support her. Her large paws kept slipping through to the harder snow beneath.
Dakota opened her eyes against the harsh wind, she was thankful for the group crowded around her. Searching for her mother she saw her helping the older pack members along. Suddenly one of the smaller, younger whelps fell through the snow. Dakota was gripped by panic, see couldn't see the whelp any more. Turning around she called to Aiedail {Mother, mother quick over here} She ran back to where the pup fell in hoping her mother had heard her or, she knew all to well, the pups life would be lost.

Aiedail heard her pup call and span around looking through the steadily worsening storm. She found her up and ran to her. {What is it little one?} She asked looking around for what might be worrying the pup.

Dakota whined, the little hole that the pup had fallen into was filling up fast and the pack where still moving on.
{A whelp has fallen down there, I dont...} She began to sob {Don't know what happened}
She looked around scared, the weather was getting worse. She knew her mother was going to help the pup. The question was, could she keep up while her mother ran back to the safety of the pack carrying the younger one, leaving her to get back herself.

Aiedail's mind went into overdrive as she leaped forward towards the hole, and using her mighty white paws dug at the hole till she could see down. Reaching her head into the snow dug hole. When she brought it up she held in her jaws a small fevered pup, whimpering pitiously. She then raced grabbed her own pup and raced forward calling for the one who led them. {Nefearia! Nefearia how far left we cannot go on like this!} Her voice was frantic the whelps all needed rest and there were those who were ill that needed healing.

As usuall, Nefearia made no answer. He kept his silver ears flattened against his head, and his misty eyes wide, and open. He placed one paw after the other, feeling as the snow went from his ankles, to higher up his leg. He continued one at a slower pace, and even slower then that, the snow began to lessen.

Shadow whined softly. She felt sorry for their alpha; this was obviously quite hard on her.

Meisha trudged on, her head down and ears laid back against the dieing winds. Her paws continually sinking deep into the snow, causing her to stumble uncoordinated.
This winter was like none she'd ever known, she'd seen bad winter's before, but they hadn't started two moon cycles early. Her head raced with possibilities. When she heard the Sigma Aiedail calling to Nefearia she whined slightly. {What did we do to deserve this?} She muttered to no one in particular. She paused a moment to shake the snow from her Grey coat before plodding on again looking behind her every now and again.

Being an arctic wolf Nefearia was accustomed to the cold. However he had never been out so long in such a cold state. He could feel the snow biting at his ankles and freezing his paws. He showed nothing that indicated he was cold, and instead concentrated on keeping the pack moving. The snow began to lessen and a green horizion came into sight. He lifted his head and howled to the pack to inform them it was not much further.

((BTW, I'm not going to be on for the rest of the weekend; I'm going to my grandma's house, and she doesn't have any Internet access... ;.; Oh well... *sigh* I might be able to get on at some point on Sunday, though... I'm not really sure, unfortunately...))

Terisa listened carefully as the alpha spoke and the one leading howl reassurance that they would soon be on green grass again. Terisa sighed hopeful but her legs ached with each step she took and her pads were numb with cold. She wasn't so sure if she would be able to walk for much longer but she also had no wish to slow down the pack, after all she was only a Upsilon. 'what good am i to the pack anyway' she thought to herself, 'i can't hunt, i can't defend, i can't even walk in snow... I'm useless' she thought...
She continued to trudge on through the snow, an onix pup in front of her and a Zeta behind. Still the wind and snow pounded against her head as if it were ice. As a pup she used to love playing in the snow with the other pups but this had officially turned her off snow for now. But then a ray of hope ascended her as she saw a clump of trees up ahead and she pushed on 'just a small bit further' she thought.

Aiedail placed her pup and the ill one upon her back and trudged on. She came up beside the wolf who had collapsed earlier. {How you holding out?} She asked in a tired voice. Her head flew into the air and her ears perked up when the leader howled good news. She joined the rest of the pack in a triumphant and glad howl. Soon they would be able to rest their weary paws. {Be happy small ones} She said to the pups perched upon her back. {We will be safe soon} She shuddered with cold and stumbled in an extra deep spot of snow, Aiedail hauled herself to her feet panting with exhaustion. 'how close is close?' she wondered, no one could keep going like this for much longer.

Nefearia pushed through the snow, stumbling slightly every once in a few strides. The green horizion was growing closer and closer, and the snow was lessening. Nefearia lifted his head and howled again, encouraging the pack to move on, and not to give up.

Meisha smiled slightly as her pack surged onward Nefearia encouraging them all the way. He would make a great alpha, but would he want the position? Meisha tripped on a root buried in snow and fell to the ground barking exhaustedly. She tried to hall herself up but her paw was trapped beneath the root.
Meisha whined painfully as she tried to free her paw. Every time she got to her feet and began to pull the slippery snow betrayed her and she fell again. 'i must be cursed' she grumbled to herself.

Nefearia paused and barked at a nearby Zeta to keep the pack moving. He turned sharply and appeared in front of the root and Meisha. He gripped the root with his strong jaws and pulled up, loosening its grip on her.
