Jinx looked at the rock den "It's perfect for now" she said as she moved over so Cyrus could look, she ignored her sore paws and listened to any sound that was in the area, she didn't hear anything maybe that was a good sign as it meant no one had been here for days and this place was completely without threats, they had to watch out for like other dogs and bigger predators that wouldn't mind fighting them to force them to leave the area, that was good as it meant they could shelter here for now without running into any danger that could hurt them or make them move.

Cyrus looked at the rock den he had to agree with Jinx the shelter looked amazing and would keep them dry and their meal dry too, he followed Jinx and Vidra being weary of everything around them, anything could be a threat was what he had learned when he was off leash training with his owner, he could see a fallen tree leaning on the embankment maybe they could use that to get down to the shelter rather then trying to climb again on already low energy and possibly sore travel weary paws.

Vidra smiled at her weary pack and nodded "Ok, now we just need to find a way down there..." she trailed off as she followed Cyrus's gaze to a fallen tree. "Good find Cyrus!" she said, perking her ears up and trotting over to the tree. "I'll go over first to make sure it can hold weight, and then I'll come back to get the deer." she barked behind her as she jumped onto the tree, gripping the old bark with her claws as it shifted slightly from her weight. When it was still once more she began slowly making her way across, testing each step to make sure there wasn't any rotting that would lead to a bad fall. A few seconds later she leapt off the other side onto a small ledge. "Perfect!" she barked over the ravine, then jumped back onto the tree and confidently trotted across to get the deer.

Jinx followed Vidra her balance was pretty good as she followed Vidra helping her with the deer, she noticed a faint smell of a dog it was really old probably months old, she could see Cyrus nervously looking at the drop "Don't worry Cyrus you will be okay I promise you" Jinx said trying to reassure the sheltie she was here if he needed her help, there was a sense of loyalty already in her head towards Cyrus and Vidra, she then focused on her paws putting them in the places on the makeshift bridge that looked the most stable in case the log shifted or one of there positions changed as they made their way to the shelter.

Cyrus would accept Jinx's advice and focus on crossing the log it was a lot higher than any A-frame he had to deal with in agility shows, he could feel the log groaning in protest as they crossed but it didn't seem to bend or break instead it felt solid beneath his paws, he could faintly see claw marks from other creatures on the log some months old others newer and unfamiliar to him, he trusted Jinx and Vidra to keep him safe in case he lost his footing on the log he then thought back to Lance that injured wolf they had met was he okay now he thought as he was nearing the end of the log just behind Jinx.

Vidra glanced back gratefully as Jinx assisted her with the deer, the tree creaking slightly as all three dogs crossed at the same time. Jumping off the other side she swiftly dragged the deer over to the cave, then turned to make sure the other two had gotten across safely.

Jinx followed Vidra she paused waiting to see if Cyrus needed any help her paws were placed wide to help keep her balance, she then continued walking till she made the jump to the ledge and then onto the ground where the shelter was, she could feel the way the grass brushed against her fur as she made her way to the cave, she then caught a smell that instantly made her alert it belonged to Arrow a dog that had attacked her and her partner well she was sent to check out a abandoned property, she could still feel the teeth marks on her neck she ran off in the direction of the scent no way would she let Arrow attack her new packmates, she could see his tall black and tan shape just in front of her "Well if it isn't the k9 that helped protect her poor human" Arrow sneered she would growl her hackles raised "I never wanted to see you again yet here you are" Jinx said well growling.

Cyrus would copy Jinx but instead of following her when she took off, he followed Vidra to the cave he wasn't worried the former k9 could look after herself, then the sound of growling caught his ears wait that Jinx's growl something was happening, he looked at Vidra "Do you think we should investigate what is happening out there" he asked Vidra, he couldn't help but imagine Jinx seriously hurt and some tall black and tan dog standing over her his teeth inches from ending her life was this a vision he thought, as he started to pace he didn't want Jinx to get hurt but if Vidra didn't think it was worth investigating he would listen as the female former k9 could probably look after herself.

Vidra stood back as the two managed to get over the log, then trotted over to the shelter, jumping to the ledge and inside. She could smell the scent of a dog in the area, a rather recent scent, but it didn't trouble her, until she heard the sound of swift paws and looked behind her to see Jinx disappearing into the brush. She frowned, glancing over at Cyrus who didn't seem too concerned about her sudden disappearance... until growling echoed from the forest. Immediately her senses were brought to high alert, and she nodded to Cyrus "Yes, we are a pack, and if one of us gets into trouble, all of us is in trouble" she said firmly. Spinning, she leaped back onto the ledge and raced in the direction Jinx had taken. After a few moments she could see glimpses of two forms in the grass, and redoubled her speed, her lithe, wolf like body quickly adapting to the terrain.

Jinx yelped as Arrow leaped at her knocking her onto the ground his teeth were inches from her windpipe Jinx tried to pry him off but he just bit down harder, she was already bleeding from some wounds Arrow had given her "Darn shame you're pretty I would love to kill you right here and now but insted I want to make you MY MATE" Arrow had said, his voice becoming angry as Jinx tried to fight him "not in a million years Arrow I would never be your mate" Jinx said as she tried again to pry him off of her, but he was too strong well she was exausted from the climb she had just made, "Surrender Bi*** or I will end you before any one of your packmates reaches you" Arrow said, she was shocked how had he known that she had a pack "O--Okay ...I will just please don't hurt my packmates" Jinx said as she heard Vidra approuch, "Too late former k9 you had you're chance" Arrow said she felt his teeth on her throat she couldn't fight back as he had pinned her in a way where any advantage she had was gone.

Cyrus followed Vidra his speed was pretty fast too considering how short his legs were, and he could smell blood lots of it then he saw Jinx and a strange male dog he was on top of her his teeth were embedded in her throat she was going to die if Vidra or he didn't do anything, "Vidra what do we do he has Jinx pinned and his teeth are inches from killing her" Cyrus said, he was trying to stay calm but he was struggling to stay calm he wanted to rush in without thinking and fight the strange male to save Jinx's life but he forced himself to think logically without making the situation worse.

Vidra's eyes flashed with anger as she saw the scene, sliding to a halt in the grasses and quickly ducking, panting as she tried to think. "I need you to distract him Cyrus" she said, turning to the aussie. "I need you to make your way quietly around him, and jump out behind him. The moment he let's go of Jinx, I'll handle him, you take care of getting her back to the cave" she said, turning her gaze back to the two as the male dog once again pressed his teeth against Jinx's throat.

Jinx could see Cyrus and Vidra she could do nothing to help them with Arrow pinning her, she tried to ignore the blood clinging to her fur along with the mud but she knew that her wounds could be severe and require attention, normally a vet would have taken care of her wounds but she had a pack to help her out once she was free from Arrow's vicious attack, she didn't know why she had decided to follow his scent but then she remembered her two pack mates he was a threat to them all well he was here.

Cyrus listened to Vidra and quietly sneaked off to distract Arrow long enough so Jinx could get up using his speed he jumped out from the bushes, he saw Arrow let go of Jinx surprised by him jumping out of the bushes, he was then focused on Cyrus completely ignoring Vidra who was coming at him with speed that seemed to come from a wolf, he then got to Jinx's side the former k9 had some pretty bad wounds he would then help her back to the cave, "Who was that dog anyways" Cyrus asked well he looked for something to stop the bleeding on her neck wounds.

Vidra crouched in the bushes, her heart racing as she waited for Cyrus. Her leg muscles twitched as she tensed herself, preparing to leap as she saw him make his way around to the back. As soon as he jumped out, the large male dog whirled to face him, and Vidra shot forward. Her paws gripped the earth as she flew towards him, a snarl rising in her throat. With a thud she collided with the dog, knocking him over, her ancient predatory fangs seeking purchase on his throat.
