Champei

Champei stretched her muscles to the max as she ran flat out. The breeze felt like a roaring wind as she ran. Her tongue lolled out and her pants came in quick and short. With her long legs she ran across the ground with great speed for a young wolf. The two year old was happy to be free to roam the pack's land. It felt like years since she had fled what had been her whole life before ending up here, with the Silver Hollows. The joy on her face said what could not be spoken in words. Champei loved it here.

The brown coated female, with the reddish tinge, slackened her pace as she neared their den. She could already hear the waterfall that ran in front of it. Slowing further she trotted down the little worn path down the side of the cliff. The scents of the pack filled her nostrils but only time would tell if any of them were actually there. Champei stopped by the edge of the pool and barked in greeting, her tail wagging quickly back and forth behind her. Still puffing she lowered her head to the cool water to drink.

Champei

Champei was lapping up the cool clear liquid when she felt something grab her neck. She gasped in surprise, breathing in some water at the same time making her cough. Slightly choking on the water she looked up with fear in her eyes at her attacker. It instantly disappeared once she saw who it was. A smile broadened her face and her tail wagged. The female growled back playfully and gently snapped at his legs.

The silver male she knew as Jethro, stepped off her and sat down. Rolling back over, onto her paws, Champei sat up. "It was refreshing, as always," she replied, still slightly panting. Her tail, though curled around her, thumped lightly on the ground. "Were you sleeping again? You really need to find a better hobby, there are so many other interesting things out there to do rather then spending the day snoring away," she said, a cheeky grin lighting up her amber eyes.

Jethro

"It was refreshing, as always..... Were you sleeping again? You really need to find a better hobby, there are so many other interesting things out there to do rather then spending the day snoring away,"

Jethro grinned sheepishly. "Of course I was sleeping. Its my favourite thing to do!" he grinned. He wasn't afraid or embarrassed to mention his favourite past-time, he liked it better outside when it was dark, which explained why he slept throughout the day mostly.

Walks in the moonlight were much more calming that those in the daylight. The darkness, in his opinion suited him and he enjoyed being out when it was dark. Finding daylight occasionally hard to cope with, but night always seemed so peaceful and quite. It was so misunderstood.

Jethro glanced over to Champei, before flopping down again lazily on his side. "Have you seen Aatto?" he asked as he looked to her, raising his head only slightly off the ground. His voice was smooth as ever.

Champei

Champei shook hear head merely grinning at his 'Of course I was sleeping. Its my favourite thing to do!' She didn't quite get his fascination with sleep, especially since there was plenty of things to explore and do when you were awake. His question caused her ears to perk. "Well no actually I haven't. Isn't he around here?" Her eyes narrowed playfully, "You lost Aatto didn't you?" she barked. "You put him down and forgot where you placed him, I know you did!" she joked.

Letting out a little snort she stood and turned away from him, her nose held high in the air like she was snubbing him, which she wasn't. As she did so the smile on her face dropped and her body stiffened. Her ears flicked around listening for the small noise which had put her on alert. They were not alone. Using her ears and nose she tried to pin point the creature's position.

Champei

Champei glanced over at the sound of a familiar voice. She chuckled, not at all embarrassed that Aatto had heard what she had said. It was good to see that the male was safe and nearby. Looking back over to Jethro she stuck out her tongue back at him. Even though he was the leader of the three he sometimes didn't act like it. Champei was glad to have found a good home with those with whom she could be herself and feel safe with. Where no-one knew her past or even cared. They were friends and that was all they needed.

Reminded of the possible threat Champei looked back to where the sound and scent originated. Slowly she followed Jethro, making sure to stay behind the silver male. The hair down her spin bristled as she attempted to make herself look bigger, but it was mostly because she was slightly afraid. She glanced back up at Aatto, asking with her eyes if he could see any better at whether it was dangerous or not.

Champei

Champei could hardly believe that the wolf just up and fled, leaving even more quickly than it arrived. Her ears perked curiously wondering why it fled like it did. Jethro gave her and Aatto a nod, meaning a go ahead to give chase. Champei smiled. Another reason to run, she was all for it. After Jethro's silver coat speed forward, she followed. Her paws running swiftly across the ground, taking her closer and closer to the fleeing wolf. She was neck and neck with the Alpha.

Suddenly the golden form of the wolf disappeared. Champei slid to a sudden stop in front of the bush. "Are you all right?" she called into the leaves.

Champei

Champei jumped back startled as the wolf leapt over her. Something seemed to flit across the female's face. Something about the feeling she put out. Before she even had enough time to say anything, the golden female had taken off again. "Hey!" What was with her? Champei wondered. Immediately she took off at a sprint after the fleeing figure. She can't keep on like this forever, eventually she'll have to stop and when she does she'd better be ready to talk, she thought to herself, her long thin legs carrying her easily across the ground.
