You walk over to the girl in the corner..

You walk over to the girl in the corner of the room who was talking to Foxglove. The purple feathers tucked behind her right ear seemed to sway every time she shifted.

".. And yeah we have a new member as well." Foxglove's voice gradually grew louder as you approached, " What was the name..?"

" You mean the person who's standing behind you right now?" the girl asked. Foxglove didn't seem to react as she continued to talk.

" Hm? Oh yeah that's (Y/... Hey! You made it!" Foxglove abruptly changed mid sentence as she turned to greet you.

" Hey." the girl greeted, her dark brown eyes flickered faintly.

" Hi." You sit down next to them.

" (Y/n), this is Vixen." Foxglove introduced, " She's one of the hunters in this Pack."

" Nice to meet you." you greeted, turning towards the girl.

" Same to you. Just call me Night." the girl gave a faint smile.

" Nice to know we have fresh blood in the Pack now." a new voice spoke up as a new girl walked over, her pale, clouded eyes shimmered.

" I see it's quite lively over here today." A male voice spoke up as a  boy walked over, a spiked tail flicked from side to side behind him.

" Aaannndddd everyone's coming over here now." Vixen said with a laugh. She sat up slightly to make room for the new people.

" (Y/n) this is Amelia and Chris." Ember smiled faintly as she flicked her tail at the two new comers. " Or you can call them Blade and Ripple."

" Hey."

" Hello." both Amelia and Chris greet with quick greetings. You start chatting, just getting to know one another.

" And so, you know what happened?" Chris gestures dramatically with his hand towards Amelia, " She jumps in without a second thought! Right into the middle of the fray!"

" A bit too reckless if you ask me.." Amelia added quietly, Chris didn't take notice, continuing his story.

" And she took all of them down! And the best part? She didn't have to even see any of them to take them down!" Chris smiled proudly as he glanced at Amelia who was looking away, not liking the attention she got.

" Well. That's expected, Rip." Vixen spoke softly, " She's a trained fighter, what more do you expect?"

" A trained fighter?" you echo, slightly intrigued. Amelia didn't look much like the one who would fight.. " what type?"

" Is it alright, if I share?" Vixen glanced at Amelia who gave a slight nod, " She's an assassin." That explains a lot.. Under the mask of shy and nervousness is a trained killer and fighter. She's probably learned to hide her identity through the years of experience and training she's had.

" Please.. I'm not the best assassin there is.." Amelia spoke up softly, her clouded eyes seemingly directed towards you, " If you want a pure assassin, take a look at our leading assassin."

" Soon to be Alpha Female." Chris added, " Alpha's brother has taken a liking on her."

" Don't jump to conclusions just yet.." Vixen shook her head, " Just because Alpha likes her, doesn't mean she likes him back."

" Yeah, but it's likely to happen!" Chris retaliated.

" Yes.. I know bu-" Vixen abruptly stopped in the middle of her sentence as she turned her gaze towards the center of the room where Foxglove had moved. Beside her stood a boy around the same age, 15. She gave a single wave of her tail and almost immediately, the chatting died down to silence. She glanced at the boy, flicking her ear.

" I'm glad everyone could make it tonight." he started, looking around the room, " Well mostly everyone." his  silvery blue gaze swept over the assembled group, seemingly stopping for a heartbeat longer on you than anyone else. " Unfortunately.. there isn't much good news tonight.. He still hasn't returned yet along side his mate.."

"... They haven't?"

" What if they're in trouble?"

" What if they got attacked?" a chorus of worried voices rose up as he finished speaking.

".. This is bad.." Chris muttered from where he sat nearby.

" Alpha is stong.. alongside Angel, they're a formidable pair.." Vixen spoke softly, " How did they get captured? It's probably just a delay in their travel.."

" They may be formidable, but not unbeatable."  Amelia responded to Vixen, " They can still be taken down.."

" Everyone. Please." prompting you to look over at the boy who has just raised his voice. His silvery blue eyes flashed as he flapped his wings slightly," I'm just as distressed about this as you are." his voice seemed to disappear into the tumult of voices around the area. Foxglove flattened her ears slightly before whispering something to the boy. He almost immediately shook his head, placing a hand on her shoulder and speaking something to her.

" We have to go after them!"

" Isn't there anything we can do?" Foxglove flicked her ear, backing away slightly, maybe she didn't like all the noise? The boy glanced at her, slightly worried before he gave a slight nod. Ember flicked her tail before stepping forward slightly, a flickering, silver white flame forming in her hand. She tossed the flame up which exploded into a cloud of shimmering and glowing particles that fell over the room. The tumult of voices quieted slightly.

" Now, everyone, please hear me out." the boy started, placing a scaled wing over Foxglove's shoulder, " We will be sending out a group to look for them. I will be going myself along with Foxglove. Winter," as he spoke, a boy with furred wings and dragon features looked up, " You're in charge until the group gets back. I trust that you will look after everyone."

" Of course.." the boy gave a faint nod as he responded.

" As for who's going, the first three to come talk to the two of us will go. We will be leaving at dusk tomorrow evening." the boy finished before turning away, guiding Foxglove of to somewhere. The door opened quietly before closing again, reverberating in the silent room.

" I'm going." Vixen smiled faintly.

" Funny. I think I will as well. " Chris agreed.

" Don't we all?" Amelia concluded.

Will you go?
