The black and white brute sprinted into the meadow. He slowly came to a stop in front of the fire. He was holding a pup in his maw, a female that was brown. She was more of an adolescent than a pup. She was shivering and foaming slightly at the mouth. Zero set her down gently and barked for the other three pups to come into the meadow. He then howled for Vrede's assistance.

Kuro followed at a distance. Zero was very hostile towards him, and he didn't want to upset the wolf. He wore a face that was of mixed emotion, anger, fear, and a hint of stubborness.

Elrond quickly trotted in. He was very worried, and slowly padded to Aranel's side. He lowered his head slightly looking at her, eyes full of concern. His ears drooped, and he couldn't look up at Zero. His eyes flickered towards where he thought Vrede would come.

Golden eyes flashed in the bushes that surrounded the meadow. A flurry of white trotted out from the thrush. It was a small white vixen. "I've heard your howl. What is it you want?" she asked, looking up at Zero.
Zero gave a small bow. "I am here because this fae, Aranel-" he looked to the shivering pup. "She was bitten by a coyote with rabies." he said.

Kairi had bolted after her father, worried sick for Aranel. She was young, almost two, but she was smart enough to know of death. she couldn't help but feel responsible, like it was her fault. She'd been the one to go to Black Forest. 'Oh..please help her, Vrede..' she thought.

Vrede's eyes widened momentarily but she calmed herself. "No one else has been infected?" she asked.
"No." Zero said. "Just her."
Vrede nodded and went to the fire. She pulled some things from the assortment of herbs she had piled around She took them and put them in a hollowed out half of a coconut. She then picked it up in her mouth and trotted to Aranel. "She's getting worse." Vrede muttered. She then began to pat the herbs on Aranel's wound. Then she turned back to the fire and got a different half coconut. This one had water in it. She brought it to the little fae. "You will be ver thirsty, so I have brought you water. Drink slowly." she whispered to Aranel. She then trotted back to the fire once more and retrieved a full coconut. She then mentally broke it in half, it split and she mixed some of the coconut milk in with the water Aranel had she then dunked her paw in it and painted over the wound with the coconut milk. "Almost done." she murmered. She then took a small peice of sheep's wool that was cut into a strip, dabbed some honey on it and stuck it on Aranel's wound. "Done." she said with a satisfied look. "She will need to stay here for a few days. I must keep giving her water and coconut milk. The open wound will heal easily but the rabies will stay for awhile...I'm not quite sure if she'll make a full recovery." she said this in a neutral tone, she didn't want to show sadness or worry.
Zero's face screwed up in concern. "Oh no." he said quietly. "What am I going to tell the pack?"
Vrede looked at him for a moment. "You are the alpha of Willow Lullaby?" she asked and Zero nodded. She narrowed her eyes slightly. "Then you are of dark desent?" she asked. "There is a way for Aranel to heal faster. There is a special plant that grows in only dark territory, it is called Nightclaw Bud. It is a strange plant. It has a black stem and leaves and grows in a vinelike fashion, usually snaking up trees. It's blossoms however are a vibrant scarlet. They have five petals and in the center is a black splotch marking. Retrieve it and Aranel will be saved." she said.

The young black brute ran quickly through the wood having heard the news about Aranel. He rushed in and skidded to a stop next to Zero. Sasuke's ears took in the information about the plant. Sasuke opened his mouth about to say he'll go but he wasn't sure if it would offend Zero. Just then a small beam of moonlight caught his flame marking on his chest and made it glow.

Kairi looked to her father. She knew of his past. "Father. It's my fault." she said sadly. "Let me go." she pleaded. She wanted to help fix the mess she made.
((sorry for the short post. g2g))

Zero turned to Sasuke. "Why are you here?" he asked, not meaning to sound gruff but it came out that way.
He turned to Kairi. He was angry by what she said at first, but his expression sofetened. He padded to her and licked her cheek. "Kairi...your like your mother, so ready to do whatever it takes to save someone. Kairi, I love you but it's much to dangerous to go into the dark territory. You would get killed for sure. You are too valuable to me, you are not going." he said and nuzzled her. "It isn't your fault." he whispered. He'd scold her when they returned home.
He looked to Vrede and sighed. He didn't want to risk anyone's lives, none of his packmembers were going to the dark land....except him. "I'll have to go." he said sadly. He then turned back to Sasuke. "Sasuke, take Elrond and Kairi home....tell A'jax and Kimiko of Aranel. I don't want anyone else to know until she is going to be alright for sure."
He then turned to Elrond and looked at him with a smile. "Elrond, I didn't see what happened during that fight, but I'm sure you valiently protected your sister. I'm proud of you and your efforts." he said and nuzzled him a little.
He turned back to Vrede with a solemn look on his face. "I am going to the Dark's territory. I don't know where to find this plant though, do you know it's exact whereabouts?"

Sasuke looked to Zero and took a deep breath. "Zero let me go. I know the dark lands well and you can protect the pack better than I" he pleaded his orbs focused on Zero. "Please" he whispered his eyes reflected how he felt.

Kuro glanced at Zero. "I should be the one going. I don't care if you don't like it, but this plant grows on our territory. It is also my fault that Aranel was bitten. I was protecting Kairi when that mutt turned and attacked the others."

Zero shook his head at Sasuke. "No." he said and from the look on his face, that was final and no questions asked. He then looked at Kuro. He grumbled, he didn't like the fact that this 'Kuro' character was a dark, but he made a valid point. "You're right." he said. "You are a dark and you have to go home sooner or later, do you think you could escort me to your homelands?" he asked, surprised that he even cared if Aranel died or not.
"The Nightclaw Bud grows in many places with trees, and only trees. Find a forest like area and you will find Nightclaw Bud growing in the darkest regions. Luckily it is in bloom and it's deep scarlet color will be easy to spot. Bring back a maw-full of blossoms and a maw-full of just the vines. I need them both to help Aranel." Vrede said, looking at the shaking brown pup. The condition was worsening and fast. "You have to hurry, make up your mind." she said urgently.

OOC: I'm sorry, but, must follow character..personality. o.o -twitch-
Right after her father had turned from her, after refusing her privaledge to go, she had sneaked out silently. There was no doubt that she was her mother's daughter. And oh, did Kimi regret that Kairi had taken after her. She worried every day for Kairi, and for good reason.
Kairi was silent, padding out of the cave easily. She had gotten plenty of practice being the edge-living, challenge seeking pup she was. She left the cave, then bolted back to the Black Forest. She knew from listening to Kuro that the Black Forest was in dark lands, so that was the best place to start. "I won't let this happen to you Aranel, this is my fault, wether daddy says it is or not. i'll help oyu.." she whispered to herself. a lone tear fell just as she crossed into the sheer black forest. It fell into the fog, causing the grey smoke-like mist to dance. Unlike her mother, darkness didn't phase her. One of the only instincts she hadn't inherited from her mother. And now, it seemed like it may be a curse..
*exit Kairi...bwahaha* ((Don't kill me O.o...))
When Kairi had wandered, her father's wprds rang in her head. "No Kairi, you're too precious to me." She gave a sigh. She would go back home, at least until her dad had gone, then she would come back. She ran back to the cave before anyone had noticed she'd gone. "Daddy. Can we go home and tell mommy now?" she asked, tugging on his tail gently.

Zero looked at his daughter. "Huh? Oh, yeah. Just go with Sasuke." he looked up at Sasuke. "Take them home now." he said with a worn out look about him.

Sasuke nodded and looked over to Kairi. "Come on" he said and batted her lightly in a playful way. He began to padd off knowing Kairi would follow. He stopped though and turned back looking to Kuro. "There is a large blood red lake in the dark lands. Next to it is a very dark forest and in the heart of that you will find the Nightclaw Bud" he said and turned back waiting for Kairi.
