A shiver of fear climbed up the alpha's spine at his chilling words. "Is it how they hunt? Will they attack us?" She asked unable to move closer to the path.

Vikas turned to look at Revera, This a very bad place. I don't feel comfortable having you anywhere near it.

"I have to know upfront what the threats are. Otherwise how can I expect my warriors to understand them." She barked taking a step back. "But Black shouldn't be here. I"m glad she's asleep." She doesn't need to see me afraid.
The alpha paused, her ears flicking. "Wait, I shouldn't be here? What about the others? I'm not special." She barked before gazing up at the trees. "In fact, I'm the most adapt at being here. I can get in a tree and avoid all of it. Those ugly paws the parasite had certainly can't climb a tree."

Vikas looked at her seriously, I don't feel comfortable having anyone near here, but especially not you...I feel....protective of you. I don't know why.
He looked back to the road, And you are wrong, they can climb. Their paws stretch out and wrap around the branches. They are very strong, but not fast on their own. They need the big creature to move quickly.

Revera listened to the brown wolf with a growing flutter. Guilt burned her belly but she pushed it aside. Ther were more important things to worry about. "I can't imagine that akward creature in a tree but I'll take your word for it."
"Gently she set Black on the ground between a few roots and hopped up into a tree. "There's another vine with a hole in it that I want you to check out. I can't leave Black but I can keep an eye on you from up here." She barked.

"It's just upahead and to the West." Revera barked turning her muzzle toward the structure.

He nodded and looked to Black, She is precious. They all are.
His eyes shifted to Revera, I'll go check it out. Stay safe.
Vikas looked to where she said and smelt around the area of the hole.

Revera watched him move away and turned her gaze to her slumbering pup. "I know." She murmurred, looking up to make sure Vikas was alright. His body moved expertly through the shimmer of moonlight on his back.
The alpha smiled a little to herself. She was glad the pups liked Vikas. It made them want to listen to him. I bet he could have even won over Scarlet if given the chance. The mothers heart twinged a little for her missing pup and fluffy mate.
she forced herself to the present. Right now a wolf was doing a dangerous mission. And yet, its us he worries for. She licked her paw and looked out into the night.

Vikas sniffed the ground and there was definitely the scent of monsters around, it was older though. His ears perked when he heard a bird rustling in the trees....if they are here we must be safe for the time being.
The brown male dipped his head and moved through the whole, though he had to tuck his tail and crawl through it. From the lightening he had seen strike Revera, he wasn't trusting anything the monsters made.
Vikas reached the other side and sniffed, seeing traces of the monster's footprints. His head rose, They are headed west. But where did they come from?

Revera watched his silohette move. Her breath catching as he slipped between the mouth of the hole and out against the black rock. "Be careful Vikas." She whispered to herself.

Vikas was about to turn around until he suddenly heard a sound like small thunder. His ears perked....What is that?
Walking forward a few steps, he froze as the sound became much louder. A constant Thwop thwop thwop filled the night sky and his eyes widened when he saw the huge bird in the sky.

Revera felt her blood run cold as the strange noises split the sky. Fearfully she dropped from her perch and gripped her daughter in her jaws. Blacks plaintive whine was almost inaudible against the drone of this new and terrifying beast. "Vikas!" The alpha screamed rushing forward to find her warrior.
Three dancing lights burned over the path and raced through the trees around them. She knew they were hunting but for what she couldn't know. Like owls in the night the alien lights hovered. Revera had never been more terrified.

Quickly rushing back through the hole, Vikas pushed Revera back towards the trees just as a light came down. In his movement, Black flew from her mother's mouth and the light was coming closer.
Vikas cursed and rushed out from the safety of the trees, grabbed the pup by her scruff and raced back to cover Revera and Black with his body, Stay down and freeze! He whispered.

Revera shivered under his chest as she listened to the great birds hunting roar. She huddled her baby close between them and barely breathed as the lights flickered ahead. She tucked her muzzle beneath Vikas's chin without shame. Her breath came out in labored pants of stress and terror.
Finally the roaring faded and the moon owned the sky once more.
