Chapter 11
Arrow
	The morning couldn't have been slower. Everybody was anxious and restless, for tonight, our plan would spring into action. Adrenaline ran through my blood. I had never had such a wild feeling. Maybe it was the feeling when a wolf hunts. Or the joy of a real passionate howl. What ever it was, I knew it was the feeling of a true wolf.
	We all were getting prepared for the big plans. Nothing could stop us, in my eyes. "Hey guys." Marine called. "We need a pack name if we are all together on this." "Yeah." We echoed. "Now to think of a name." "Sky pack?" "No. We need to sound more fierce." "Hunter pack?" "No, too cheesy." "Fang pack?" "Getting there." "How about......Arrow Pack?" Everyone turned there heads to look at me. I flushed pink under my fur. "Perfect!" Marine cried. She must be an expert on pack names. "Sounds right." Kite smiled. Griffen wagged his tail and Eya gave an approving glance and continued to pout. "The pack has spoken." Silver said. Moon nodded gracefully. The pack howled a lovely new tone. The one that said, we are the Arrow Pack!
	Less enthusiastic voices found a tune that told us their name, Razor Pack. The drab sound made my heart give off the slightest pitty to be earned from the captives. But my hate for what they have done crossed over the line. I would rather die then do the deeds of Caro. Dawn brought the heat and I was afraid I might go insane and get rabies. But I used the wind to cool me down. Marine cooled herself down with water. We were sure she had the water power now because she has mastered controlling it. I watched bordley, deciding it was no use trying to hold back my feelings anymore. Besides, the less emotions the less winds. Griffen sat down beside me, at least trying to make an effort to hide his frusterstion. He did not like being left out with this whole power thing. I tried to distract myself by watching a bee buzz buisily around the small flowers and clovers, or listen to the mouce scurry with it's nearly silent paws. Eventually my mind wandered to the pack name. Arrow Pack. It sounded so right. Then I became aware of something important. Something that every pack has and needs. An alpha.
	"You guys. If we are an official pack now, who is our leader?" I asked. They all paused. "Well, usually the best, as in strongest, are the leader. And pretty much always a male." Moon said in the usuall distant, dreamy voice. She often didn't look at who she was talking to, mostly past them or at the sky. "Maybe we should have a contest?" Silver suggested. "Sounds great." Marine agreed. "Lets have a little match. No sever injuries and it is pinning, not killing, to win. No using powers, it must be fair. The winner will be alpha." We jogged out into the center of the space between the cage and the forest. All the canidates stepped into the middle of the circle, bouncing with anticipation. The volenteers were: Dokami, Griffen, and Savoy. They made a mini circle in the middle and faced each other, each with a confident smirk. They got in ready positions. Just as Kite announced the start, Eya jumped into the skirmish. We all stared in disbelief. What was she doing? Even if she did win, would they except her as our leader? Savoy looked astonished and only stopped when Griffen dived full speed on top of him and bit his large ear. Dokami was getting dominated by Eya and he looked as though he was going to die of embarresment. Poor guy. It was one thing for a girl to get beaten by a guy, but a girl beating a guy was truley something they would not like at all. Eya pinned Dokami at the same time Savoy was pinned by Griffen. Now it was down to two.
	Eya looked expressionlessly at the startled Griffen. He was definatley not expecting this. They circled each other, studying them for flaws. Eya lunged unexpectedly and Griffen barley got her off before he was fully pinned. She charged at the paw and he whipped around at the last second, only a small skim. As she was recovering, Griffen took a little nip at her back. I stole a glance at his leg, it was gone. The scratch was gone. I studied his legs but there was no sign of a single wound. They wrestled akwardly, snapping lighly at one another and pawing with parshally exposed claws. Suddenly, Griffen was heaving on the ground with Eya on top of him. "Okay, Okay. I surrender, I've had enough." He puffed. Everyone was gaping. They did not intend on Eya over coming three wolves. She was incredible. I felt a pang of pride. She was my sister and she could take out three wolves! I smirked a little. We had a new alpha. A girl alpha. Eya was our alpha.
	The beta was decided Savoy because he was Eya's mate and therefore proven most loyal to the leader. Griffen did not mind at all. He wanted me and me only. We stood close, sides touching, as a sign of affection. But now we needed to get back to buisness. Akila was gone and we needed to put the plan in motion. We started into the forest. Rays of sun shown through the leaves making it a beautiful sight. It was shady and warm. A tree marton leaped from tree to tree and wild birds clucked and cawed. Squirrels were restarting their harvest for the next winter, in result there were nuts dropping from of the trees like bombs. The sweet smell of the trees filled my nose. It was nice to be in the forest again. "Savoy, scan the area." Kite ordered. He zipped out of site. "How far can you see Kite?" Marine asked. "Only a little bit. Like a couple meters, maybe more." She replied. "I'll keep watch in the nearer part." Dokami was covering our foot prints by lifting dirt and covering them. I helped a little by blowing some over to make it look more natural. Eya walked in front, alphas did that. The first step to the plan was simple, Find Caro.
	 Griffen had a keen hunter's nose and found the scent drifting in the breeze. He could not calculate where it was coming from though. Savoy returned. "They are near the creek, on the side of the burnt tree." He directed, between breaths. "Come on." We followed him as he struggled to keep a steady pace. pretty soon we all had the fresh scent of the trespassing pack. That took us to step two.
	We split up into groups. Me and Griffen, Eya and Savoy, Moon and Marine, Dokami and Kite, and Silver and Sage. We would have put Moon and Silver together but they needed a strong partner. Not that they couldn't fight, but there powers werent as useful in battle. Our plan was to surround them and move in, trapping them. My position was off to the side. I came in sight of the beast called Caro. He was black with red mid leg and down. The tip of his tail and his ears were also red. He was lapping up water carelessly. Any wolf would have smelled us by now, he knew we were there. He, also, had a plan. "Caro. I believe you have something of mine." Eya said as she approached him head on, Savoy close behind. All of us began to close in. "Hello." He smiled devilishly. "I was expecting you." I froze, half way into the clearing. I knew without looking he had two wolves behind us, along with all the others. Oh he was devious. I spun around and faced the others. They did not look at all that they really wanted to fight. One was a female that was several different shades of white, she had a vicous expression on her face, and an innocent looking cat like wolf that was light blue with a white underside and muzzle. He also had dark blue star like shapes down his back and the same color on the tip of his oversized ears. "First, I'd like the names of my challengers." I tested. "I'm Frost and this is Koda." Said the white one. "I am Mada and this is Griffen." I said as we all crouched into attack position.
