"Leave her alone she needs to rest you know" Twilight heard Shadows voice followed by River " I need to talk to her" Rivers voice was harsh and grumpy. Twilight opened her eyes and blinked getting used to the suns huge light. She got to her paws and headed over to the two arguing wolves. Her eyes gleamed with amusment as they stared at her "Oh umm Twilight we didnt mean to wake you" Shadow dipped his head glaring at River. Twilight shook her head gently "Its fine anyway whats up River" Twilight realised that River, Shadow and Twilight never talked in a group before the last time was when they where training to become wolf hunters and fighters. "Ash is wandering of again" She sighed annoyed Shadow looked away. Twilight stared at him for a second then looked back at River. She dipped her head "I will talk to him when he gets back" She watched as River nodded her head and head over to her tree. Twilight turned around and sighed looking into the forest. Her mind was wonderin if Ash wandered into the enemy territory. Twilight had been caught up in wondering that she didnt hear Destiny coming behind her "Hey Twilight" Destiny sounded different. Twilight turned around and looked at Destiny her fur was mattered her eyes looked exuasted "whats happened Destiny" Twilight questioned her ear flicked as she scented Ash's scent. Destiny opened her mouth but collapsed to the ground Twilight rushed to her friends aid. Shadow sped up to them he picked up Destiny and carried her to the den. "And thats another wolf collasped this month" Twilight turned to see Ash who looked amused the black alas slashed her tail across the crusted leaves. "Ash i need to talk to you" Twilight watched as Ash sat down beside her "Go on" Ash's blue eyes stared at her green eyes "You have to stop wandering of its worring me" Twilight felt Ash's tail touch her paw "You dont have to worry for me im fine im not some pup" Ash muttered " I dont want you to end up like your parents thats all" Twilight watched Ash cringe and realised that Shadow was listening nearby "You dont care that i may be in trouble all you care is that you dont want to upset the other pack" Ash snarled angrily Shadow appeared beside Twilights other side "Listen to me Ash not as your leader as your friend i dont care if you upset the other pack all i care is that your safe i cant loose another friend" Twilight nudged her muzzle deeper into Ash's neck "Fang's death wasnt anyones fault you dont have to keep wandering of" Twilight went on Ash looked at Shadow who nodded there was warm in his eyes for the first time in forever Ash felt like he was a pup playing with his friends. Twilight watched as Ash headed of to a tree and layed down Shadow looked at his leaders glowing green eyes "You did the right thing" He said calmly Twilight shook her head "Everytime i see him i dont see the happy old Ash we all know and love i see Blood on his paws and jaw and evil and hatred in his eyes" Twilight dipped her head sadly "He just misses Fang he will be happy again dont worry" Shadow tried to bring Twilight's spirit up but nothing worked "I just feel like he is going to be like River's father" Twilight didnt realise what she was saying "River's father killed many wolves Ash isn't like that" Shadow growled and headed of growling leaving Twilight her head was down her eyes where dull and her mind was racing with fear.

Twilight sat infront of the den watching Moon and Jet and waiting for the prey to return. Shadow stayed at the den tending to Destinies wound from the last hunt Twilight felt something hit her side she looked down to see a mossball and jet raced after it and slamed into her side she growled and watched the small pup scramble away. "It may help but try spending time with the scrap of fur" Shadow came up beside her "Moon is doing a fine job" Twilight pawed her prey "A pup learns more if a Leader is at its side" Shadow said her fathers line she hated it so much "You know your father didnt like Ash very much but after some time with him he thought of him as his own son" Shadow looked at the sky his eyes gleaminh "I have more things to worry about" Twilight quickly said "I think your father would be proud of you even more if you spent some time with the scrap" Shadow got to his paws and raced after River.

Twilight's ears pricked as Ash appeared with a bit of elk meat and placed it in front of Twilight's paws. "Eat it"Ash sat down beside her and dug into his bit of meat Twilight nodded and took a bite out of it. When Twilight had finished her meat she looked at Ash who had his left paw on his head his ears flattened and he whimpered quietly. Twilight leaped to her paws and nudged Ash gently "You ok" She asked her eyes shone with worry "yeah im fine its just my head is pounding" He grumbled Twilight placed her tail on his shoulder "Go get some rest" She said and watched him limp of to his tree and lay down. Twilight noticed Shadow staring at Ash with wide eyes then looked back at the midnightpack's leader. He hurried over to her and stood in his fightin stance "Do you know what that is" Shadow questioned Twilight who shook her head slightly annoyed. "Its a illness that makes a wolf go crazy"Shadow looked at Twilight as she burst into a fit of laughter "Oh shadow that illness was cured long time ago" She turned around but stopped as Shadow placed his paw on her tail. She turned around and growled for him to let it go "Mark my words if you want Ash to survive you got to believe he has the illness or he will die a slow and painful death" Shadow snarled at Twilight as he lifted his paw up and left Twilight who stared at Ash. She sat down beside the den and her tail swayed angrily. A few moments later Twilight was in her own world when a thud landed on her tail she snarled in shock and stared at the thing that landed on her tail. It was the pup Jet she stared at the pups green eyes and she sighed Twilight looked up and saw Moon heading towards her "Jet get up and be nice to the leader" She spoke with annoyance as Jet got of Twilight's tail and looked at her "Are you the leader" he asked "Yes as a matter of fact i am" She answered her ear flicked with slight amusment "Im going to be like you when im older" He ran around in a circle and Twilight looked away "You'll have to" She muttered to herself "What" Twilight turned back to Moon who looked puzzled "Doesn't matter what do you want?" Twilight asked Moon as she sat down "I want to go for a run since i haven't been out the den for a while now" "and" Twilight was scared to ask what was coming next "And i want you to look after Jet for a while since you where good with Pitch" Moon waited for a angry responce but Twilight's eyes where full of sorrow.
"Pitch was to young to die" She chocked out she nodded at Moon "I will look after Jet for you" She said Moon turned away from Twilight feeling sorry for the leader. Twilight sat and stared at Jet who scampered around the circle again. Shadow was staring at her in the corner of her eye she stared at him angrily as he hurried over to her. "Good to know your spending time with him" Shadow said smiling at Jet who leaped at him and landed on his muzzle and Shadow gave a playful lick. "He is so much like Pitch" Shadow looked up at Twilight who's eyes where full of sorrow. Shadow placed his paw around her and gave a angry and playful look at Jet as he jumped on the led's tail. "Pitch was to small for the winter cold we all knew he wouldn't survive it even you" Shadow said Twilight looked away "I was a horrible mother wasn't i" Twilight pawed the ground "No you weren't you where a great mother" Shadow stared at Twilights green eyes. "You kept emerald and Amber alive didn't you and cared for them they were amazing hunters and fighter's" Shadow saw the smile on Twilight's face but quickly turned to a frown "But Amber got killed by those stupid Badgers" Twilight snarled angrily Shadow didn't stop his leader from getting angry. "Then Emerald dissapeared the next week, she became a hunter" Twilight sighed staring at Jet "Just think of Jet as Pitch" Shadow turned away from Twilight and headed over to River again. "Hey thats to high" Jet said "Its more fun for me" Twilight barked amused "I will jump high as the clouds" Jet barked back as Twilight batted the mossball to Jet who jumped up and did a backflip and landed on his side. "Now that was cool" Jet joked as Twilight watched the Mossball role down the hill. Jet jumped to his paws "I'll get it" he barked as he scampered of towards the mossball. Twilight sat down and stared at the ground then a loud cry ran threw the territory as Jet sped in the camp and hid behind Twilight. She stood up and saw a stampede of elk "Jet in the den NOW" Twilight barked as Jet ran in the den but watched as Twilight, Shadow and River chased the elk out. Destiny was limping towards the den. Jet saw Moon race over and help her in the den then she raced of towards Ash. When the elk were gone Jet bounded out "That was so cool you three are awesome" He leaped on Twilight and bit her ear playfully. Destiny and Moon gasped and the three Wolves turned to find a white alas standing in the entrance of the camp. Ash snarled and River growled Shadow's eyes where wide and stared at the white wolf "DOVE."
