Molly Amelia Oliver's Story

It was a matter of just a few minutes by the time Molly had already lost the other sentinels, with a large wolfish grin on her face at that. She decided to go on a little adventure. Quickly loosing track of time as she studied her surroundings. The leaves were finally beginning to fall, since winter was fast approaching and the late evening breezes weren't helping the ones trying to keep hold of the trees. Molly got irritated by this season, she just didn't understand the point of the leaves turning into such beautiful colors of red, orange, and yellow just so they'll fall off and die under the snow that was sure to come. She simply growled, absentmindedly, at the tree she was sitting near. Then her ears flicked with amusement as she realized what she had done, then her odd colored eyes flickered to the sky.

It was beginning to turn dark, which meant it would be night before she made it back to the pack. She scoffed to herself as she stood, Reiner and Gabriel were both probably about to blow a gasket. She decided to finish the patrol though, but taking a short cut of course. Which meant going by the lake, she absolutely adored the lake. She took off running towards it, a satisfied smirk on her muzzle. It was a fact that she could out run Reiner, but it was also a fact Reiner could hear Molly coming from a good distance away.

Molly came crashing through the bushes that lead to smaller opening of the Rohani side of the lake, immediately heading towards the water. She stumbled a few times on some larger rocks, as if her paws were too big for her. She simply shifted into her human form as she tripped the last time causing her to fall straight back onto her butt. She let out a laugh as she just shook her head at herself. She looked up as the first star began to appear. "I really should probably head back.." she mumbled silently to herself after a good few minutes looking up at the sky. With that she shifted back into her wolf form. She started to trot towards the protection of the woods when she got a small urge. She quickly turned and pounced at the water, to be more specific her reflection in the water. She giggled to herself as she realized she hadn't quiet thought that through. Noticing not only did water cover her, but also mud. She shook her pelt quickly as she looked back down to her reflection to see a now muddy Molly looking back with the same amused expression. That's when her ears flicked towards the other side of the lake, hearing a faint sound. Stiprus. She felt frantic as her head shot up, much like a deer, to see not a simple member of the other pack but the new Alpha.

There was a voice in the back of Molly's mind telling her to stay as she noticed more and more pack members arriving. She wanted to be nosy, plus they couldn't do anything to her she was on the Rohani side of the lake! Then she remembered how the treaty was now broken, which caused her fur to stand on edge slightly as she slowly backed away. They hadn't yet noticed her, which was good. She tilted her head to the side slightly as she watched them. They didn't seem different from her pack, she didn't understand why all the sudden the two packs disliked each other so much, hadn't they had a peaceful treaty or something? That's when another voice entered Molly's head..

Molly!

It was Gabe, Shit! I mean, uhm...Molly's not here right now please leave a message. She thought back quickly as she turned and took off towards her pack. She was pretty sure she went unseen by the Stiprus pack. Molly! Another voice was heard in her head. This time far angrier and a bit harsher. Reiner.






"Stay with the other sentinels, Molly. Okay?" Reiner's voice was groggy with sleep, but he had to make sure Molly was going to be good for her first patrol. "You gave up a nap just to make sure I'm going to do my job? What a loving brother!" His younger sister shot back. "Moll, I am serious here. You be sure to keep up with Garret, Alice, and that other..other guy." He knew just by the twitch of her lips that Molly was going to say some smartass comment. "Not the best in names are we, Jojo? Plus, you know I will be able to keep up with them. They'll be the ones having trouble keeping up with me!" After she was done, she simply walked off and shifted. Causing him to shake his head.

Being an older brother should not be this hard. He thought, rolling his eyes. I heard that! Not my fault you've been on my tail for the past week! Literally! Molly's thought butted in. Even in his own head Reiner couldn't get away! He groaned as he rubbed his temples. Why was he on her tail about the patrol? Wasn't a big deal anyway was it?

Wrong. Molly had finally been promoted from being an omega, with a little help from Reiner himself. Reiner had took the liberty of talking to the new Alpha. Plus, him and Gabe had been friends since they were pups! Gabe was a bit hesitant at first, and he couldn't blame him..it was Molly they were talking about anyway. He promised to straighten her out and make sure she did her job. Reiner wasn't worried for Molly, but more for himself. He didn't want to let Gabe down.

So, since the patrol left til he heard their steps coming back Reiner had been pacing. When he saw they were all back, his skin began to crawl. They were all back except Molly. His eyes quickly flickered around to see if Gabe was around. He wasn't, so he quickly turned his attention back to the woods. She had to come back! She had to come back on time. That's when he heard Gabe coming. His ears flopped in defeat when he watched Gabe head towards the edge of the woods and call for Molly. That's when he heard Molly call back. He growled quietly to himself. He was screwed! She was screwed! They were both screwed!

It wasn't long after he himself had called Molly that she arrived, wet and muddy. He narrowed his eyes at her as his ears pinned back against his skull. Nice of you to show up! He snapped, with a snarl. Nice to be here! she retorted back, sounding rather pleased with herself causing Reiner's jaw to tense.

He really deserved the best big brother award for putting up with this.

"Whenever I see you I swear you just keep adding onto your beauty department." Andy told her, causing her to blush and chuckle. "Well, I wouldn't know. And I would compliment you back, but for all I know you could look like a donkey." She teased, shooting him a brilliant smile that lit up her sky blue eyes. She was used to his compliments, although she was oblivious to her own appearance. She knew she had blonde hair, mother's pale blue eyes, and a thin build but other then that she had no idea. She remembered what she looked like when she was little, before she lost her vision but figured/hoped her appearance had matured since then.

"Oh... hunting? We haven't hunted in a pack awhile... i'm starting to think it's something I did." Andy joked, causing a teasing smile to spread across Ella's face. "I knew it had been you who ruined it. Andy, stop ruining everything for the rest of us!" She laughed, clearly teasing her pack mate. She knew it wasn't about him, though. Her brother was usually patrolling, making sure the other pack didn't come close. Occasionally she would tag along with him and Rick. She enjoyed their company, and they didn't seem to mind her.

"Come on, let's go find them and try to get them to do something fun with us." She grinned at Alice and Andy, standing up. Ell linked arms with Andy so he could lead her. She didn't need him to, she could easily find her way to her brother and he others, but it was easier and faster this way. "Reiner, Rick, Gabe, and Molly are close by, just that way. She nodded just south of them, towards the woods.

This was not the first nor the last time Gabriel would have to get onto Molly Oliver. She was always getting herself into trouble and sometimes was worse acting than a pup herself. His golden gaze stayed narrowed, hard and focused on the woods that lay out in front of him. In response to him calling her name Molly's retort was quick. . And sarcastic.

Shit! I mean, uhm...Molly's not here right now please leave a message.

Gabe bared his teeth just slightly, striding forward. The only reason he truly put up with the girl was because she was Reiner's younger sister. He'd known them both since they were all pups themselves. He remembered his father speaking of Molly. What did his dad say of her again? Oh yes. "Full of spirit and life." Another fortune cookie crack. Gabriel's ear perked forward when Reiner's voice entered his mind. He snorted loudly, shaking his head. Reiner always had to get onto his sister, which Gabe found quite humorous time to time, when it wasn't annoying- Molly breaking the rules, that is. He turned to his right briefly as Alaric strode up, relaxing.

No, no trouble, Alaric. Molly has come in late from patrolling, once again. Gabriel responded, huffing. He always felt more at ease when his beta, Alaric, was around. He wasn't sure why but he always did, which was a good thing, he guessed. Gabe brought his attention forward once again. His eyes narrowed and he growled when the youngest Oliver appeared, muddy and wet. Molly. . he groaned, glancing at Reiner swiftly, as if to say "she is a mess." What to do with you? he asked then as he began circling the sentinel, tail flicking back and forth quickly, showing his dissatisfaction. He'd only been alpha for a few short days and still was not too sure on how punishment should go about. This was not the first time Molly was late and she was suppose to stay with the others when out. Gabriel was not a complete stickler. It was that now that the "treaty" had been broken it was his duty to keep his wolves safe. How was he to do that when they did not listen?

Sometimes Gabe thought his pack-mates did not take him seriously. Was it because he was new to his position? He did not know. Exhaling loudly through his nose, he stopped circling Molly, gaze flickering to Alaric. A silent question on what to do.
He then glanced around. There was a few missing and one was his sister. He figured they were at the lake and the thought made him a little uneasy.

Just as he was about to send a mental command for them all to get back to the dens, he saw Andy, Alice and his sister, Ella, in the distance. He shifted back into his human form, running a hand through his midnight black hair.
"Good, you guys are back." he mused, glancing up towards the sky. It was getting dark, but there was also clouds in the distance. Rain or a storm? Gabe could never really tell. "Did you see any of the Stiprus pack while you were out?" he then asked curiously, crossing his arms over a wide expansion of chest. He was always curious as to what Leon and his rag-tag team of wolves were up to. The real question was if they were planning something. His pack needed to be ready for something like that.



Jonah McGregory had finally swallowed down his fear, glancing up at his fellow pack-mates. Most of them seemed to be there by now, which meant this silly "hunting as a pack" thing would be started and over with soon enough. Maybe they'd find a good sized squirrel to tag team and that would be the end of it. He hoped. Jonah's attention had been drug out across the other side of the lake where new scents were accumilating when something ultimately distracted him. He was nuzzled. His light brown eyes tripled their regular size, heading jerking to the right in the direction of Akitla, the source of this touch. If he was in his human form the creep of red crossing his cheeks would he highly visible.

Are you looking to purchase any mythical creatures? I'm sure I can help you find a plump looking elf around here somewhere.

Jonah blinked a few times, taking a step back. That step sent him to the edge of the lake and there is where his back paws slipped. Falling back, his hind legs fell into the cool water with a splash. He gave a yip, jerking them out quickly as he stumbled forward, falling into Akitla in the process. Ah! Oops! I-I'm so-.. so sorry! he apologized quickly as he regained his balance, shaking his hind legs on at a time, ears pinned back, head down in shame. He was an A+ klutz. Jonah looked up out the corner of his eye, gaze on Myla not too far away from him. His chocolate eyes burned with shame. He was by far too embarrassed to ever speak to her again. He looked back at Akitla, whimpering softly before taking a step back and to the side, sure not to fall into the lake once more.

I-I didn't, uhm, hurt y-you, d-did I? he asked quietly, barely audible in thought.



Leprechauns huh? I dunno I think they're a bit too mainstream for me.
Tane glanced at Akitla, eyes dancing with laughter. You can never go wrong with a good leprechaun hunt. she teased, watching the hunter move closer to Jonah and nuzzle him. Oh boy. She could only imagine what the delta would do. He was so entertaining.
I liked leprechauns before they were cool, Tane snorted at this, glancing at Daniel. Her eyes burned with amusement.

I liked leprechauns before you did! I've watched all the movies. she taunted, then looked at Myla, giving a quick nod. Not too long ago she found that the hunteress was not too bad, and pretty amazing when you wanted to have an actual conversation. She liked talking to Myla and figured she could actually be considered a friend now, though most did not know it.
Tane's blue eyes then lite up with amusement when Danny shot back at her his response. They said the same thing to teach other daily, for the most part. She huffed gently, looking back at him. Same ol', same ol', hot stuff! she joked, pressing her head up against his side lightly before jumping back and giving a playful bark, ears perked forward. Of course, now was not the time nor place to goof off, but that was Emerson for you. She never done things during the right times. . Or at the right places. She looked over at Leon a split second, tail swaying back and forth before her attention snapped to Jonah. Her eyes widened and then her chest rumbled in what would have been visible laughter.

The poor guy had practically fallen into the lake in his failed attempt to "escape" Akitla. Awwh, Jonah, she won't bite too hard! Tane teased light-heartedly, only to get a pleading look from Jonah, as if telling her to be quiet. She gave a wolfish grin in his direction and a small nod of understanding. She would tease him later about it.

((Sorry about how lousy and short my posts are. I am the Ruler of Newbs. At your service. :P))

"No, no trouble, Alaric. Molly has come in late from patrolling, once again."
"I'm glad to hear that." Alaric replied calmly before adding in: "That there is no trouble, rather than Molly's tardiness."
Shortly after saying this, the two Oliver siblings returned. Her fur was weighted down with dirt and water, giving her a bedraggled appearance to match her expression of shame that continued to worsen her features as Gabriel berated her. Despite his words, Gabriel was unable to decide upon a punishment for Molly, and instead turned to Alaric and silently pleaded him to dish one out. In response to Gabriel's request, he padded towards Molly, with a calm expression over his face.
"You'll get away with this now," Alaric began as he circled slowly around Molly, his muscles relaxed. Suddenly, he pounced and snapped his jaws clenched not even an inch away from Molly's muzzle and continued talking, "But if you break the treaty again, we'll let the Stiprus decide what to do with you."
Alaric turned away and padded behind Gabriel. While he had not been told to do so, Alaric was fully aware that Gabriel enjoyed his company and support; now was a perfect example.

Alaric returned to his human form for ease of communication with his fellow packmates.
"Yea we saw them, though Miss Ella here said they were just hunting. As a pack. So no need to worry."
It was certainly reassuring to hear that the Stiprus were only living life as normal, but Andrew's next two sentences were what worried him.
"Also....I smell a strong wind picking up in the East. It's a storm, I know that for a fact, but I don't know if it's a thunder storm yet or just some heavy winds. So I suggest you don't let any of the pups out tonight."
"If that's so, I say we station a watch." Alaric suggested, "A forest fire is entirely possible, and an eventuality we need to be prepared for. We ought to have the sentinels take it in turns, alongside any other volunteers. Should a fire break out, we'll need everyone's help to end it."

Molly looked pretty happy despite the fact she was covered in mud and she knew she was going to get in trouble. Her tail wagged as she saw her friend Alice approach her,

Hey Molls! I'm bored, you up to doing something?

You know I'm up for anything! Molly thought excitedly, before scoffing to herself when Alice spoke again. Of course Andy was making lovey dovey comments to Ella, he wouldn't be Andy if he didn't. That's when she noticed not only were her and Alice talking, but so was Alaric and Gabriel.

No no trouble, Alaric. Molly has come in late from patrolling, once again.

Not once again! Molly chirped happily, This is my first offense. She mused, hopefully she could wiggle her way out of trouble again. She sat down with a large what seemed to be a rather large smirk as her brother and Gabe exchanged glances. They seemed to have their own language when it came to those two.

What to do with you?

Molly swiftly stood, slightly swaying from her clumsy-ness as Gabriel began circling her. She decided to turn, and follow him..only to be distracted by her tail. She let a small growl and nipped at her tail quickly, before her eyes flickered back to Gabriel. She decided to throw a few pack mates under the bus, they would understand of course! I wasn't the only one.. She wined, nodding her head to Alice, Andy, and Ella came into the clearing. She gave a small wink to the three of them as she looked back at Gabe. She knew that look, he didn't know what the punishment should be. Something she usually took advantage of, but she felt bad about it today. He just got the whole Alpha job and she knew he wanted to impress his dad. Emmanuel. One of the Elders Molly really enjoyed talking too. He was such a puzzle! Just the things he would say could make you ponder your life for days.

Suddenly the look on Molly's face wasn't so easy going as Gabe shot a look to Alaric. Her expression was suddenly stoney, eyes narrowed, and ears pinned back. Alaric wasn't as easy to get out of trouble with. You'll get away with this now. He began to circle her, this time she only followed with her eyes, unlike him her muscles were quiet tense she knew he was about to do something. That's when he pounced. A loud snarl was heard from not only Molly but Reiner. They couldn't do anything though, Alaric was second in command. Gabriel's right hand man. Molly's teeth were easily seen as she bared her teeth at how close Alaric was. But if you break the treaty again, we'll let the Stiprus decide what to do with you.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Molly thought back, putting in as much sarcasm as she possible could. Careful, you might have gotten a little muddy. With that she flicked her tail and shifted. Only to then begin mumbling curse words under her mouth as she paced, ignoring her brother at the moment. She completely forgot to tell them about seeing the Stiprus pack at the lake.






Reiner bit back a chuckle as he realized how muddy Molly was and just shrugged his shoulders at Gabriel's look, he quickly shook it off as he watched Alaric strode up. His eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Gabriel circle Molly, but mostly he was concentrated on the wolf in the corner of his eye. Alaric. I wasn't the only one. Honestly Reiner didn't see how Molly had friends when she threw them all under the bus like that, then again..she usually got them out of their punishment too. He just sat down as he watched Molly. Idiot. he thought playfully as his sister nipped at her own tail.

He watched as Gabriel didn't seem to know what punishment he should dish out, Reiner made a mental note to tease him about it later. That's when he saw Gabriel's gaze flicker to Alaric, causing Reiner to stand and seem to ready his own self to pounce.

You'll get away with this now.

Reiner knew something was about to happen, just how Molly's whole image changed. To be honest, sometimes the way Molly could go from happy go lucky to full on fight mode scared him. That's when Alaric pounced, a loud snarl was heard from Reiner as he steadied himself to pounce as well. But, a small flicker of Molly's eyes to his made his stop. He knew what she meant. They couldn't take on Alaric, well they could..he wasn't much of a fighting type, but they couldn't cause he was Beta. His hardened brown eyes flickered to Gabriel for a moment before he heard Molly in his head. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Careful, you might have gotten a little muddy. For once, Reiner wasn't upset or annoyed by her sarcasm. He sent a quick glare towards Alaric as he shifted along with his sister. She had walked away from the group and was pacing. "Not good.." He mumbled to himself. Molly had a short fuse and when it blew, it blew. He slowly walked up to her-

"Reiner I swear to God if you get any closer I'm going to bite your fu-"

"Molly.." He grumbled, a bit of a serious tone. Molly was prone to cussing and he tried to break her habit. "Fine!" She spat at him in a low threatening voice. "I swear if you come any closer I'm going to bite your fudgin throat out." Her voice was full of venom as Reiner put his hands up in surrender. He just shook his head. Deciding to turn back to what the pack was saying, especially what Andy was saying. Reiner found the way Andy could predict weather really interesting. He always went to Andy before he took a few out to hunt to see how the wind and weather was going to be.

"If that's so, I say we station a watch. A forest fire is entirely possible, and an eventuality we need to be prepared for. We ought to have the sentinels take it in turns, alongside any other volunteers. Should fire break out, we'll need everyone's help to end it."

And there was the reason why Alaric was Beta, he was smart and he always had a plan for everything. Reiner knew how witty Alaric was, bit it seemed Molly thought otherwise.

"He's shit out of luck if he thinks I'm patrolling in this damn storm." She grumbled, only loud enough for Reiner and Alice to really hear. "No offense Alice, but I don't really feel up to patrol in this storm.." Molly had said quickly, realizing how rude she sounded. Reiner just shook his head, "I can patrol with you if you want, Alice. Alice was actually one of the few people he was friends with in the pack. Plus, he owned her for helping with Molly being a sentinel and all.

Ella let Andy lead her towards the others, listening closely to be sure who was there before stopping in front of them. She stayed silent, but gave a polite smile and half wave as she joined them. Molly, in wolf form, Reiner, Rick, and her brother. She could sense that Gabe was tense, and Rick was irritated. The beta took a step forward, closer to Molly and snapped his jaws, presumably at her. She shifted her weight back, unsure of what he was angry at her for.

"Also....I smell a strong wind picking up in the East. It's a storm, I know that for a fact, but I don't know if it's a thunder storm yet or just some heavy winds. So I suggest you don't let any of the pups out tonight." Andy tore her attention away from the two wolves, and she glanced towards her pack mate. "If that's so, I say we station a watch. A forest fire is entirely possible, and an eventuality we need to be prepared for. We ought to have the sentinels take it in turns, alongside any other volunteers. Should a fire break out, we'll need everyone's help to end it." Rick piped up, and Ell paused for a moment. She would gladly volunteer, but waited until she heard who else was going. Alice volunteered, Molly declined, and Reiner volunteered. "I'll go with you guys." She offered, with a soft half smile. She was fully capable of going on her own, but Gabe always got nervous when she went out alone.

As Andy let go of her arm and took off, Ell shifted towards her other side to see who was closest to her. Her hand brushed against Reiner's head softly, meaning he was sitting down. With a light smile, she softly rested her hand on his head and twirled a strand of his hair. She got along well with him and Alice, and usually went out with one of them if she wasn't with her brother.

I wasn't the only one..
Gabriel's chest rumbled with what would have been laughter, shaking his head at Molly's poor attempt to escape the situation. But they were not on patrol. . he reminded her lightly, giving a gentle snort. He then looked at Alaric for help.

Before he had shifted into his human form and questioned the pack members who just got back, Gabriel watched Alaric carefully. His golden gaze was leveled on his beta, calculating as he began to circle Molly like Gabe himself had done not five minutes ago. He tensed, the hairs on his back standing on end. You'll get away with this now, By that simple statement Gabriel knew it was not going to be too good, he could read Alaric's body language quite easily.

Alaric, I don't think- he had began, but it was a little too late for that. The beta lunged forward and snapped his jaws at the sentinel, a clear statement of dominance that left Gabe's teeth slightly bared. Was this what he asked for his second in command to do?
But if you break the treaty again, we'll let the Stiprus decide what to do with you. He huffed lightly and as Alaric moved to stand behind him, he nudged the beta with his head.

She did not break the treaty, Alaric, she just came in late from patrol. The Stiprus is not to touch my sentinel nor anyone else in this pack. We are all family here and giving a pack-mate to a Stiprus is something that will not happen while I am alpha. Gabriel didn't like having to scold anyone in his pack though he had been doing it a lot lately thanks to Molly. He especially did not like having to correct Alaric, but it was something that "hit a cord" with Gabe. Stiprus, in his eyes, were the ultimate enemy and threatening to throw a pack-mate to them was like threatening to slaughter all the pups in their pack. It was an unspeakable act, something his father would never agree with.

Having ignored Molly's remarks, he glanced over, shifting before she did. He knew she was mad and did not have to hear the many curses that flew in under her breath to know it. His attention was drawn to Andy who was the first to answer his question on whether or not they saw any Stiprus pack members.

"Yea we saw them, though Miss Ella here said they were just hunting. As a pack. So no need to worry." Gabriel nodded slowly, dark eyebrows furrowing as his golden eyes fell on his sister. He didn't like her being at the lake, especially by herself or at all, really. She was grown, he knew that, but she did have a disability whether she liked it or not. Everytime Gabe thought of it he almost visibly winced. He hated he was pretty much the reason she was blind. If it wasn't for him. . "Also....I smell a strong wind picking up in the East. It's a storm, I know that for a fact, but I don't know if it's a thunder storm yet or just some heavy winds. So I suggest you don't let any of the pups out tonight."
The alpha sighed heavily, gaze wandering back to the sky that was darkening with both storm clouds and the promise of nightfall. This is just what he needed, of course. He crossed his arms, looking over at Alaric when he spoke; he remembered why the guy was his right hand. Where Rick did not have brute strength, he had amazing intellect which made up for it and helped Gabriel out immensely.

"Im all for going out for a watch, im really flipping bored and I really dont want to sit around the den and let the pups play around on me or nip at my ears. Its just not my thing. They are annoying and very high maintenance, they need to take a chill pill"
The alpha quirked a brow, pressing his lips into a straight line at Alice's comment.

"Okay then," he began, chuckling lightly, "I agree with Alaric completely. A forest fire is possible and there is also a possibility that the Stiprus pack could be planning an attack during the coverage of a storm. Yes. It sounds insane but I do not put it past Leon. Since it will be pretty bad out there only two are to go on watch and stay together. Alice and Reiner-" Gabriel glanced over at the two, having over heard their conversation, "You two will be first watch. When you feel that you are tired and would like a break I will take on next watch with Alaric." He looked over as Andy went on about going to town.

"Well, i've done my part. I'll be back in about an hour I just need to go pickup something in town. If anyone wants to come along feel free."
The alpha narrowed his golden gaze. He did not really like the fact that Andy would be by himself during a storm. That was leaving him vunerable.

Be back soon and I mean it, Andy. he shot the hunter the mental command, snorting, And don't make me have to come looking for you, it will not end pretty on your part. he warned, turning his attention back to the other pack members. The wind had picked up as the storm had began creeping up on them.

"It seems the storm will be here soon. Reiner and Alice, you two better get going." he mused, motioning with his chin towards the woods. "The rest of you, make sure the pups are in dens and try staying out of the storm, we don't want anyone injured." Gabe glanced at his sister, Ella, sighing softly. "Ella, I don't know, I-" he looked at Reiner, eyes pleading as if telling him to watch out for her. "Fine. Ella, go with Alice and Reiner, just be careful." he murmured the last part softly, looking down briefly. It always made him nervous when she went out on a watch, but at least she wouldn't be alone. He trusted Reiner fully.
With that he turned towards Molly, chuckling as he shook his head at the little sentinel. "I want you to go to my den, Molls. I need to talk to you for a minute, okay?" Gabriel knew she was mad, but instead of causing "fear" it simply amused him. She'd always been that way, even when they were younger.

((I'm going to wait for Nami to post again before I post for Jonah and Tane.(: ))

"Okay then, I agree with Alaric completely. A forest fire is possible and there is also a possibility that the Stiprus pack could be planning an attack during the coverage of a storm. Yes. It sounds insane but I do not put it past Leon. Since it will be pretty bad out there-"

Pretty bad? As in the storm? Molly's tough, 'I am very angry' face faltered as her odd colored eyes flickered up towards the sky. She shifted back into wolf form, her ears pinned to her head as she sat down and looked at everyone. "Well, I've done my part. I'll be back in about an hour I just need to go pickup something in town. If anyone wants to come along feel free." May the force be with you. Molly thought playfully as Andy headed towards town, in the storm.

Chicken shit.

Molly's lips twitched as she gave a small growl towards Alice, rolling her eyes. "None taken..but you owe me. Molly nipped back at Alice, Yeah, yeah. She grumbled, watching as Alice went over to Reiner which caused Molly's attention to turn back to Gabriel.

"It seems the storm will be here soon." That's all Molly caught as her head snapped up towards the sky. She stood and began to pace a bit as her eyes stayed on the sky. Molly wasn't one for storms, Reiner said it was because she had a bad experience as a pup. She didn't remember it so she'd like to come up with stories of what it could have been. Usually she'd tell the stories to the pups and Reiner. When it came to story time Reiner was more a pup than most.

"I want you to go to my den, Molls. I need to talk to you for a minute, okay?"

The sentence made Molly look away from the coming storm to Gabriel with hard eyes. She was gonna have a smartass comment, but decided against it as she heard Alice. Good luck, don't say anything I would. Causing a small rumble to be heard in Molly's chest as her gaze flickered towards Alice. Thanks for the advise. She teased before looking back at Gabriel. She turned and headed towards his den, stopping and glancing back to see if she needed to wait for him. That is until it thundered, Uh, meet you in your den. She thought quickly before sprinting towards his den.

She had made it to the den without tripping, she would have been proud if there wasn't a storm. Well she hadn't tripped until she got into the den, tripping on a carpet sending her into a tuck and roll as she shifted back into her human form as she landed on her back. She laid there for a second figuring if she broke something she would be in pain. She slowly leaned up and looked around. Nothing broken. Good. She looked down, seeing she had gotten Gabriel's carpet a bit muddy as her lips formed a straight like. Muddy carpet? Not good. She decided to quietly get up and try to fix it.

"Okay Molly. It's just a little mud..how to fix it..how to fix it?"

She pointed her finger towards the sky as she seemed to have an idea. She quickly glanced over her shoulder to see if Gabriel was coming, then back to the carpet. She quickly bent down and grabbed the carpet. What was her brilliant plan? Turn the carpet over to where Gabriel couldn't see it.






If you think you can keep up with me then sure.

Reiner's chest rumbled slightly as he just shook his head, I think I can keep up. He joked back as he looked over towards the sky. The storm was coming on a bit fast. He then shifted into his human form as he sat down on the grass to see what the plan was. He did that often, Molly said it made him look like a pup. Every time someone was going to tell a story or go over a plan Reiner always sat down to listen to it.

"Okay then, I agree with Alaric completely. A forest fire is possible and there is also a possibility that the Stiprus pack could be planning an attack-" On that note Reiner's eyes flickered towards his sister, if he was in wolf form his hackles would be raised. He wasn't fond of the Stiprus pack, especially if they put his pack in danger. "-during the coverage of a storm. Yes. It sounds insane but I do not put it past leon. Since it will be pretty bad out there only two are to go on watch and stay together. Alice and Reiner, you two will be first watch. When you feel you are tired and would like a break I will take on next watch with Alaric." Reiner just nodded, then looked at Alice with a laugh. I got a lot of energy pent up so I won't be tired for awhile. Hope you have it in you to keep up with me. He just gave her a playful wink. "I'll try my best."

"I'll go with you guys."

Reiner's brown eyes quickly flickered towards Eleanor then Gabriel from the spot he had took a seat at. He knew how protective Gabe was over his little sister. Ella was blind and Reiner remembered what happened clearly. Molly and himself grew up with Gabriel and Ella and when he was nine and Molly was just five Ella was attacked by another wolf. Ever since then Reiner had been pretty protective of his friend's little sister. He watched as Andy let go of her arm and shifted towards him. He grinned when he felt her hand brush his head. He gently nudged her thigh with his head, very wolf like as he looked over towards Gabriel.

"Ella, I don't know, I-" Reiner knew that look, he had given Gabriel that look plenty of times when Molly first went on patrol with him. He gave a small nod and glanced back up at Ella as Gabriel continued to speak. "Fine. Ella, go with Alice and Reiner, just be careful." Reiner's gaze flickered back to Gabe at his soft words, he knew he really didn't want Ella to go. "I'm always careful!" He called with mock hurt, "Right, Ella?" He asked with a small nudge to her leg again.

Gabe! You have no worries man! I'll watch out for her, she will be in great hands, and ya know she can take care of herself pretty well! Reiner nodded his agreement. Ella wouldn't get a scratch with him and Alice around.

"I want you to go to my den, Molls. I need to talk to you for a minute, okay?"

At the mention of his sister's name Reiner's attention was on Molly. He knew that look, she was about to make one of her normal comments, but she didn't. He let out a small relieved breath as he looked back at Gabe. His eyes now pleading for him to look after his little sister as it thundered.

Okay Renny and Ella I am so ready for this!

Renny? That's a new one, which made "Renny" chuckle as he shook his head. Well let's get going you two." He said as he looked up at Alice and Ella, before shifting.

Ella didn't have to see to knew her brother's expression when she volunteered. She leaned back slightly, waiting for him to finish before she spoke. "Ella, I don't know, I-" He paused, and Ell sighed lightly. She pursed her lips, waiting for him to finish before she gave her argument. She heard him shift slightly, before he gave in. "Fine. Ella, go with Alice and Reiner, just be careful.' Ell grinned.
"I'm always careful! Right, Ella?" Ella smiled as Reiner nudged her thigh. "Of course. I'm always safe with Reiner." She played with a strand of his hair softly, glad that her brother had given in. She understood why he was so protective of her, but she always had to remind him that it had been her choice to jump in front of the wolf. Better her then him, anyways. "And You know I'm always careful. Don't worry, Gabe." She gave him a bright smile, rocking back onto her heels.

"Gabe! you have no worries man! I'll watch out for her, she will be in great hands, and ya know she can take care of herself pretty well!" Alice spoke up, causing Ell to chuckle. She could always count of Alice to stand up for her. "Exactly. Between these two, I will be just fine." She smiled towards her brother, and gave Reiner a gentle pat on his head.
"I want you to go to my den, Molls. I need to talk to you for a minute, okay?" Gabe told Moll, and Ellie looked towards her brother. She was tempted to tell him to be nice, but it wasn't her place. She trusted him not to be too rough on her.

'Okay Renny and Ella I am so ready for this!" "Well let's get going you two." Alice, then Reiner spoke and Ellie grinned. She quickly shifted into a wolf with a thick, pure white pelt and bright blue eyes, just as she felt a droplet of rain on her nose. Before either of her packmates moved, the scout took off into the woods. She was small, but was fast.

"What is this rug made out of?!" Molly grumbled with a small growl as she yanked at the rug. She got down on her hands and knees and lifted it up slightly, "Maybe he has it nailed down to the floor or something.." She thought aloud as she examined it. "Nope.." She stood back up with her hands on her hips as she examined the rug. Suddenly a rumble of thunder caused her to jump, her attention now outside. Her eyes flickered towards the opening of the Gabriel's den. She narrowed her eyes at the clouds, thinking she could maybe scare it off. She gave a hopeless growl before turning back to the rug. "Alright, maybe if I.." With her words she gave a swift kick at the rug. The rug catching her foot and causing her to stumble and spew a few cuss words. "You stupid rug! I should burn your sorry ass-"

That's when she heard footsteps closing in. She began to panic, a thousand ideas suddenly hit her at once. Make a run for it. Hide. Say you found it like this. Knock him out. She bent down quickly, tugging at the rug. "Come on..I was kidding about the burning..just turn over like a good rug! Please! Or my ass will be the one burnin-"

"Are you having fun, Molly?"

The voice made Molly yip like a pup as she swayed and fell back onto her butt. Her eyes flickered up to see Gabriel, she suddenly looked like a pup who was caught sneaking away from it's mother. She quickly stood up, "I-..I didn't mean-it was the storm!" She blamed, jumping as it thundered again. "I came running in- I didn't mean to trip it was..it was like this when I got here!" The words came fast and it was clear Molly had been caught. She put a hand on her forehead as she realized she had just babbled like an idiot. "I'm sorry.." She wined, looking down. "For this and being late and not listening and getting angry and-" Molly had begun to ramble again, but her attention was drawn to Gabriel when she heard him rummaging through the familiar large chest.

She remembered that chest when she was only four. It was Gabe's dad's old chest. Her and Gabe would always use it as a hiding spot when they played it with his dad. Of course he acted like he could never find them and Reiner would get frustrated with him and kick the chest yelling about how they were in the "big box" how they always hid in the "big box". She giggled to herself as she remembered, snapping out of her memory when she didn't hear Gabriel digging through the box anymore.

Her whole face lit up at the sight of the old quilt, her hands clasping together excitedly as she smiled. Of course! The quilt Gabriel's mother gave him, she remembered how nice his mother was. She'd always fix her "boo-boos" cause both of her parents were hunters and usually stayed out to get the pack food. Her face fell slightly when she thought of when his mother was killed, she remembered how Gabe changed for a long time. He wouldn't talk to anyone. He wouldn't play tag or hide and seek anymore. He wouldn't even laugh whenever Molly fell. Luckily the fall in her face was covered by a loud crack of thunder, her eyes flickered out the opening of the den just as a flash of lightening lit up the sky. She couldn't help as a small wimper pasted through her lips.

"Remember this?"

She gave a enthusiastic nod, "Course I remember it, Gabby!" She teased, slowly walking over to where Gabe was standing, glancing over her shoulder ever so often at the storm. She went to snatch the blanket but stopped. "I don't wanna get it muddy." She said softly, glancing over to the muddy carpet and back to Gabriel with sheepish grin followed by a wince as the wind picked up.








"Of course. i'm always safe with Reiner."

Ella's words caused Reiner to grin boyishly as he glanced up at her. "And you know I'm always careful. Don't worry, Gabe." He looked from Gabriel to Alice up to Ella then a side glance at Molly. "Exactly. Between these two, I will be just fine. With those words she patted Reiner's head causing him to lean in slightly to her hand. He didn't know if it was the wolf in him or what, but Reiner would always go to Eleanor whenever he was bored so she would play with his hair.

As soon as the other two took off, Reiner turned and shifted quickly following after them. He made a point to try to keep up or at least keep Ella within seeing distance. Suddenly Reiner went ridged as he listened to Alice and to her conversation to herself. Then he heard Gabriel's voice, Reiner, if you see Sabine out bring her back with you, won't you? I don't want her out in this storm. Suddenly his head was full of how this situation could get worse. Aye, aye boss. But, one small problem. It seems Alice has picked up on something..we're going to check it out. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for Sabine.

Reiner looked for Ella as Alice turned to catch whoever she smelled, should he inform them of the missing ten year old? Then he remembered Ella's amazing sense of smell. Hey El, Gabe called and said Sabine is out in this, mind keeping your sniffer open for her?" He asked calmly. He tried to keep calm in situations like this, plus Alice usually had enough anger for both of them.

Molly's odd colored eyes narrowed as she watched Gabriel nod his head, she knew that he really wasn't paying attention. He always did that. He'd just led her ramble all day about random things, honestly she didn't understand why he put up with her. Not two days ago she talked his ears off of how she had went to town and watched a movie on some kind of things called 'zombies'. Molly really gets into things too when she's talking, her facial expressions, using her hands to help get her point across, and her voice..she would change her voice when something was exciting or sad or scary. The whole zombie thing really freaked her out, she kept asking Gabriel over and over if he thought they were real. She had actually been sleeping in Reiner's den the past few nights. That's when this bright idea hit her. Why don't we have, like, doors on the opening of our dens? She thought, arching a brow as she glanced back at the opening of her alpha's den.

That's when she noticed that Gabriel was actually listening, she caught his eyes for a second when she said sorry causing her to look down at her muddy bare feet. Molly wasn't one for apologies, especially when it was about the third time she let it actually come out of her mouth. She began to fiddle with the bottom of her baseball shirt which was purple with blue sleeves, have mud splattered on it along with her skinny jeans. She kept her head down, almost shyly, until she heard Gabriel pulling something out of the box.

She grinned when she saw his reaction to her calling him "Gabby". "Thought I forgot your favorite nickname, did you?" She teased with a smirk which quickly disappeared when thunder shook the den and lightening lit the den up. She jumped a bit, a small whimper escaping her lips as she glanced over her shoulder. Looking back she saw him hold up the quilt and she went over. She tilted her head a little when he laughed at how she didn't want to get it muddy.
Her eyes widened slightly when he took a step towards her, she looked up at him then at the blanket as he wrapped it around her. She couldn't help but smile and grip the blanket tightly.
"I don't think the quilt will mind. Plus, you can wash it tomorrow while you are washing my carpet."
Molly bared her teeth slightly when he ruffled her hair, making her growl slightly. Of course she was just joking. "But..but.." She began to mumble, but stopped. "How am I suppose to wash that-" She grumbled with her nose scrunched as she glared at the carpet.

Her face quickly softened thought when she looked out the den opening. Really need doors. She thought, trying to make herself laugh. Molly winced when thunder and lightening began to work together. She remembered when she was little the Elders spoke of how if you counted from when it thundered to when it lightened that how many seconds were how many miles away the storm was. Molly had always counted since she learned that. It thundered, "One mississippi, tw-" She had begun counting to herself only to stop when the cave flashed from the lightening. One second. The storm was one mile away.

Molly's eyes widened when she noticed Gabriel lean down, she had been busy counting. She grinned as he nuzzled her. "You don't have to apologize for being yourself, Molls." The sentence made Molly look down, pulling the quilt tighter around herself, in a bit of shame. "I'll keep that in mind." She murmured her favorite phrase softly. "Nor do you have to apologize for getting angry. Alaric had no right to snap at you like that." Making her eyes flicker towards Gabe angrily only to find herself giggling as she tilted her head. Gabriel had gotten mud on his nose from where he nuzzled her, causing her to bite her lip as she tried to not laugh harder. She quickly cleared her throat when he spoke again,
"Maybe this storm will let up soon, probably just passing through."
Molly winced as it thundered, "One mississippi, two mississippi, three missi-" she counted quietly before it lightened again. She gave a small nod before slowly walking over to the opening. Her odd colored eyes following Gabe's gaze to the tree line. "I don't understand why you and Reiner worry so much about me and Ella. Honestly, we can take care of ourselves." She grumbled, nudging him with her elbow.

"By the way..you got a little mud." Pointing to her nose showing him where the mud was with a laugh.






Okay. Let me know what you all find, Reiner. If it is something serious then let me know, and I will come to you guys. Understood?"
Little late for that, Reiner had just ran to the scene. "Understood." He thought quickly. He wouldn't bother Gabriel unless the situation went downhill. Once Leon was called for he debated on whether he should call Gabe or not, luckily he didn't have time to.

"I'm sorry."
Reiner kept the small child close as she held onto him tightly, he gently nuzzled the top of her head with his nose in a very wolf-like manner. She was soaked and he could feel her shivering against his warm body. Lucky for Sabine being a werewolf had it's perks. Body heat, and lots of it. "Thank you." He heard Eleanor murmur, causing him to look at her with a confused look. She just went from threatening them to thanking them. She was quiet a puzzle. He watched as she reached up and gently touched Sabine's arm, "Are you alright? Let's get you back to the dens." Reiner looked down at the small girl he was holding.
"M..My arm hurts." He heard the girl whisper, causing him to whimper slightly and nuzzle her head again. "We'll take a look at it once we get you home." He mumbled softly with a small smile.

How's everything going, Reiner?
He heard Gabriel again as he hooked arms with Ella as he glanced back to see if Alice was coming. He felt proud in the moment for some odd reason, just looking at his two pack mates and then back to Sabine. They just kinda rescued her and he felt this odd proud feeling for it. He quickly shook it off though. He needed to tell Gabe..but, did he really..need to? Gabriel had just got the Alpha spot and now all of this. He sighed and then decided to let Gabriel know a little.
It seemed Sabine had wondered out of the territory, but nothing big happened. I have her in my arms now, we're heading back. He thought, grinning at how good it sounded. It didn't seem like they had any trouble. He glanced back down at Ella and Alice again, making sure they stayed close. Luckily with the cover of the trees they didn't get hit by the rain that much.

And Ella is fine, Gabriel. He thought with a small smile down at the blonde who's arm was hooked with is. Then he glanced up at the raging storm, How's Molls? Not having any trouble are you? He thought. Protective brother mode kicking in as he sped up a bit to get home.
