Tirry Bright's Story

Something was amiss, Kat thought. She was cleaning up after the pups picking up toys, clothes and whatever else was lying on the floor.
Snow left the den even after an announcement of a meeting to commence shortly. There was a bit of a growl coming from Alpha Leon’s wolf form. She dropped the chew toy she was holding. Alpha’s really scary like that.

Just then Isis came rushing out straight to the storm and then after sometime so did Alpha Leon. Kat walked towards the entrance of the den and stood there. What’s going? She shifted to her wolf form to see if she can pick up some thoughts. Which she’s not very good at besides a lowly omega like her will not be informed of such things. “What if they need anything when they get back?” Kat wanted to be ready for anything, a good omega is always prepared.

“Sir? Uhm.. Is there trouble? Will anyone be needing anything?” She sent a stammering thought to Delta Jonah. He’s an approachable fellow someone she does not feel threatened but still it feels uneasy talking to higher ups. She sat back on her haunches and waited for her packmates to get back.

(tagged Leon by mistake)

She saw Alpha Leon deposit Snow and he looks mighty pissed. Kat jumped out of the way, short of hiding. You don’t want to cross the Alpha when he’s in a mood. Isis and Ryker was by Snow’s side she couldn’t she the extent of the damage but she knew enough first aid to treat the wound and broken bones. She immediately went to the gardens and tore two aloe vera leaves. She went to the infirmary and fetched a clean, stainless gurney. When she got back Ryker was starting a splint and Alex was firing questions one after the other. Snow was chugging liquid amber which is good if something gets dislocated, she would need distraction. Then they she will have to set it but there’s so much people they might not even let her come near Snow.... but Snow needs her help. And there’s the impending meeting which she is not a part of but Ryker, Isis and Alex should be present. She will have to do this for the others to attend the meeting or heads will roll.

Whimpering, she said “Ex-cuse me uhm... master Ryker, if you would let me borrow a leather belt if you have one. I-i-i uh... would have given my belt but its so narrow and uh... Miss Snow will need something wide to bite on or she will lose all her teeth if I reset the bone.” She managed to get that out. She set the aloe vera beside the medic kit. Her hand slightly shook as she rolled the gurney near Snow she turned to Isis. “Miss Isis if you uhm...." Kat cleared her throat. "Miss Isis, Master Alex would be so kind as to h-h-help me transfer Miss Snow to this gurney?” Kat said nervously, she can feel the blush up to her ears. What are they thinking now? Some puny omega wanting to take over?

"But there's to be an important meeting....” even her thought sounded so forlorn. She only hoped the ground and swallow her up.

Ryker's response had been negative, but considering how quickly Alex had returned and was prodding at Akitla, Isis was happier that the older sentinel had stayed with her. And now this, She thought, observing Alex's behavior. Her pack sometimes joked around too much-- what, is he trying to put her into shock from the pain? She turned to Alex and scolded him immediately.

"Are you a pup, Alex? You'll hurt her more that way! Sit down and stop that." She growled, her brows furrowing. "...Akitla wants you here, but I'll send you away if you keep this up." She didn't wait for his response and smacked his hands away from Akitla before pushing him into a sitting position to her right. Resuming her usual speaking voice, she said softly, "Don't worry, Alex...It's just one arm and her knee. No concussions. And I'm sure when we're done with her, you can talk about kung fu movies." She didn't know how best to help outside of assessing Akitla's injuries-- even when she wasn't a scout, she was normally not around for aiding with medical things. Isis had spent most of her time back then taking care of the pups... and she still wasn't good at that, either.

A shaky voice came from her blind spot and Isis nearly had a heart attack. "Ex-cuse me, uhm... master Ryker..."

Someone else? Isis turned. Relieved, she realized it was just Kat. She supposed she couldn't be angry at Kat for showing up in her blind spot-- most of the others didn't pay her right eye any mind, so how would Kat have known? Besides, Kat was being extremely submissive-- The omega's voice was so small, she was shaking with every word-- so Isis decided it was easier to just ignore that she'd nearly died with surprise when Kat showed up. Ryker really would benefit from her help over mine, Isis thought instead. The thought strangely made her feel a bit sad. She really did want to help. ...No. It's better this way. She decided. She didn't move from her spot, though.

The way Kat was shaking made Isis feel bad. When she was an omega, Isis remembered feeling as though no one wanted to hear her and she was sure Kat was feeling similarly. Kat addressed her, "Miss Isis, if you uhm...Miss Isis, Master Alex would be so kind as to h-h-help me transfer Miss Snow to this gurney?"

Isis wanted to agree, but... This isn't my show, really. The person who is doing the most work is Ryker... She felt bad not responding positively to Kat, but she was certain that if Ryker wanted to move her, he would speak up and do so. But Ryker was occupied and... well, Isis couldn't be sure that he wouldn't just ignore Kat. She thought about a possible response, knowing that Kat wouldn't leave while she was thinking.

Finally, Isis responded, "...Is it possible for you to aid Akitla here? Then we'll move her onto the gurney, after her arm is set." She looked hopefully at Kat, hoping the omega wouldn't take her suggestion the wrong way. She had worded it well... she assumed.

"...Is it possible for you to aid Akitla here? Then we'll move her onto the gurney, after her arm is set."

She didn’t realize that she was holding her breath until she breathed a sigh of relief. Its better to work with a patient lying on a gurney so they can exert proper pressure. There’s no second chance when re- setting bones. Then again, she’s probably right contusions are starting to show. Soon it will be too painful to even move Snow.

“Yes of course, Miss Isis.” Kneeling beside Snow she rummaged through the medic kit, put on some gloves and pulled out a penlight. With that she shined the light to her left eye, then to the right. Satisfied that the pupils react to light like they should she put it back to the box. "No sign of concussion." she said. She dabbed antiseptic on her forehead and bandaged it. Snow had a gash on her arm and legs that needs cleaning too. She will have to do it later. She injected a serum that will block hematoma to her arm and knee. She handed a roll of gauze to Snow "I'm really s-sorry for this Miss Snow. I-i'll be resetting your arm now." She stammered and wiped her brow. Willing her self to finish the job.

Two loud crunch after she was splinting Snow's arm and knee.

"Mi-miss Isis... Miss Snow is in no position to move for the next few days. It looks like her arm might be casted, her knee only suffered light trauma but she will...." her voice faltered. Miss Isis makes her nervous something about her eyes. She gulped then continued "She will have to stay at the infirmary for a few days."

Ryker couldn't find the damn ointment in his bag. Just as he was about to give up, he noticed someone put aloe vera next to the medical bag. Who the..? Ryker looked at everyone around him, not noticing the omega on the first take.

“Ex-cuse me uhm... master Ryker, if you would let me borrow a leather belt if you have one. I-i-i uh... would have given my belt but its so narrow and uh... Miss Snow will need something wide to bite on or she will lose all her teeth if I reset the bone.” The timid omega spoke.

Who the... Ryker felt around his waist. He wasn't wearing a blet. "I'm wearing suspenders," he admitted, "they keep my pants at my natural waist line..."

The sentinel was slightly embarrassed about exposing his sense of fashion in front of a crowd of people, especially Isis. He shrugged, trying to move the conversation forward. He noticed Akitla giving him a dirty look. Was the bourbon not to her liking? Was she not happy that Leon didn't leave her to her own undoing like he would have done? Like he did do... Shasta could have been convinced to stay; maybe if he tried harder, or was nicer... Fuck'em.

Ryker watched in surprise at how quickly the omega was moving, grabbing the gloves and equipment from his bag without even asking. He wondered if she even noticed she did that. she would make a good replacement for Shasta. She would need a lot of training, like A LOT, and the blessing of the alpha of course, that's if she even wanted to be a sentinel. Sentinels weren't popular like the hunters, their job is to keep the pack in line and protect the territory not an easy job, especially with this bunch.

He placed his hand on Akitlas shoulder to prevent her from getting up all the way. "You're going to hurt yourself even worse if you keep this up." He told the female hunter. Half concerning, half threatening.

"Oh come on Elna, why don't you just drink some blood from the pack?" Alex said.

"Nobody is to give her blood until Leon gives the go-ahead." He said to Alex in a harsh and demanding tone. Ryker saw it as a fitting punishment to her disobedience, but the decision wasn't his to make. He was sure Narissa would agree the a punishment was in order, maybe even a temporary demotion. The thought of quiet timid Kat out there hunting while Akitla was stuck in the den is amusing indeed.

Suddenly Ryker noticed a void. Isis, where was she? He looked at the omega with stern eyes. "Watch theses two." He commanded before sifting into his wolf form and leaving in search for the scout. He saw her at the mouth of the den and casually approached her left side. Are you this always restless?He asked her.

Rykers closed his eyes for a moment; only listening to her voice. Truth be told if she asked him to run away with her and never look back, he might actually consider it. Who was this woman? He bearly even knew this person yet he is willing to abandon his post for her. The worst thing was that she didn't know who he was. She didn't know a thing about this old wolf; that he was in a pack that toured around the Midwest as a black metal band and was worship as a cult, that the elders of this pact almost didn't let him join because of his history with pack elders, that he killed his own brother. If he got any closer to Isis, she might find out about is darker past. Part of Ryker wanted to tell her everything right then and there, to go with her to town, but fear got the best of him.

"I think... It would be best if I stayed in for the night." He said; heavy with hesitation and remorse. "If you still want to go in the morning, I will go with you. If you want to go with someone else, I will understand." Ryker cursed himself and his responsibilities. Merely excuse to avoid his uncontrollable urge to be with her. A feeling that excited and scared him.

The sentinel, noticing movement from the corner of his eye, looked back into the den. It was that omega from earlier, Kat. She looked like someone had just asked her to a question because she had that stupid worries look on her face. Ryker looked back at Isis, wishing she wouldn't leave him just yet, but worrying she would. With a sigh he turned back to the omega, "What is it." Swiftly, almost snapping at the poor girl.

Ryker's response was negative, which Isis had expected with such a busy job as sentinel. The scout was disappointed and a bit confused as to why she was disappointed in the first place-- she'd been turned down before, multiple times, so why was this time any different? Maybe it was just the fact that Ryker sounded like he was regretting his decision to stay. He must've really wanted to go. She rationalized. He's head sentinel, though...it must be hard to find time to go into town... Still, he had said he'd come along with her in the morning and that was good enough. She could use this time to hunt. But before she could respond, Ryker faced the omega from before. Isis only briefly saw the look on her face-- worried, nearly frightened.

What is it. He said. It was almost as though he was snapping at her. It surprised Isis to hear the sentinel talk like that-- not because she didn't think he would or could, but...moreso because he usually seemed collected and calm. It lead her to believe that something was on his mind. Something that upset the man more than he was letting on, in any case.

Isis was aware that Kat was very likely to take that the wrong way. Kat was easy to scare, it seemed, at least that's what Isis had gleaned from her previous encounters with the skittish omega. Especially if the head sentinel snapped at her... Kat would probably become terrified and extremely apologetic. She wasn't sure how much Kat actually liked being around her-- Isis was sure Kat thought her lame eye was creepy-- but Isis was pretty sure that Kat wasn't going to respond very well to Ryker's behavior. The scout decided after a thought that she would get something to eat after she aided Kat. Although she wasn't sure what the sentinel was thinking about to make him all but yell at Kat, Isis also decided that she needed to at least partially try to lighten the mood between Kat and Ryker. Did you need something, Kat? She asked politely. ...Is it help with Akitla? Isis got to her feet and looked at Ryker. I'll help her, She said. She wasn't sure exactly how to make him less upset (and to be fair, she wasn't sure that he was upset to begin with), but she'd had good results with submissive behavior with other wolves who had seemed angry with her when she was an omega. So she flattened her ears back and lowered her body just enough to show she wasn't out to challenge him and nuzzled under his chin. She focused on Ryker and managed to say just to him, We can go together tomorrow.

She'd been close enough to know his scent but she'd never been this close. He was comforting and felt safe, but she wasn't sure why it was that she thought that way. Was it his job? Was it just that he seemed to like her? Maybe she was focusing too hard on Ryker...? Isis didn't want to waste anymore of his time idling about, so she backed away from him and turned to face Kat. Come on, Kat. I'll aid you with Akitla if you need help.
