Kae'rien and Eclipse
As they watched the snow leopard haul herself to the cave, Kae'rien muttered, "How are we going to beat that?"

"With your pack," came the reply.

Kae'rien looked over, and said, "I doubt the pack will be very pleased that it was you who suggested that."

"Look, this concerns loners like me as well as you pack wolves!" Eclipse snarled.

Kae'rien just stared at him, when a white and black shape bowled him over, pinning him and making him unable to get away. Then he felt claws at his throat. He looked up, and saw a young snow leopard, likely only just out of his third year, which growled, "Where's my sister?"

"There's more of you in the woods?" Kae'rien barely managed to squeak.

"Yes, and I need to know where you mangy hairballs stashed my sister! Where is she?" the snow leopard growled menacingly.

"I have no idea what you're talking about! I have no idea where she is! I haven't seen anything that looks even remotely like you, besides the snow leopard I saw climb into that cave!" Kae'rien said, whimpering as the snow leopard's claws sunk into his skin.

"You will. Help me. Find her. Understand?" the snow leopard breathed into Kae'rien's ear. For the first time, Kae'rien noticed that the snow leopard's breath was unusually cold.

Then something knocked the snow leopard off Kae'rien, and Eclipse flickered into view. Kae'rien joined the fight, and, between Kae'rien and Eclipse, the snow leopard was soon neutralized, with Eclipse's jaws around his throat.

"No," Kae'rien whispered into the snow leopard's ear, "you are staying here. I am going to talk to your mother."

"Are you suicidal?" the snow leopard asked, earning himself a squeeze from Eclipse.

"No, I am not. There have been too many wolves killed by her. I'm simply trying to stop further bloodshed. I don't want to hurt you, but I will if I must."

With that, Kae'rien lifted off, and soared into the cave. And there, lying right in front f him, was the female he'd seen earlier.

Arrowsky lifted her head to look at Kae'rien. "I do hope that for your own safety you are here to lead me to my missing cub." She said. Her ear twitched and rotated to the sounds outside.

"For if not, I'm afraid I'll have to send out another warning. And I will send that warning out right now if I find you have harmed, or even touched, my other cub, Winterclaw. So, I give your pack a choice. Lead a mother to her cub, if that small pup was useless, tell your pack that they will drop down one by one unless I find evidence that you are not keeping my cub somewhere. If you are not, help that mother find a defenseless cub in the wild, or be cold-hearted and do nothing," Her eyes narrowed. "Personally, I would take that last choice, but then again, your pack is big. All I know is that on your floating islands you call home, only me and my two cubs are left of us leopards." Her tail flicked back and forth as she awaited a reply.

(Sorry that was a lot of dialogue. ':I )

Whimpering Mia and Silico run and fly out of their den, finding that traps we're around the house, " Wh- WHO WOULD PUT TRAPS AROUND OUR HOUSE?! " Mia growled, she seemed angry, so she put a sign in front of the house saying, " WARNING FLY TO ENTER THERE ARE TRAPS HERE. "

Kae'rien
Kae'rien looked at the snow leopard, and said, "I will help you find your cub. I myself am a father of two. I understand. Please, stop killing off the pack. I swear, I will help you find your cub, and I will ensure that neither you nor either of your cubs will be harmed. You have my word."

A yowl sounded from below, followed closely by Winterclaw streaking in the cave entrance, bowling Kae'rien over a second time, fastening his jaws around Kae'rien' s throat. Moments later, another furry streak flew into the cave, and slid to a stop less than an inch from Arrowsky's face. It was Eclipse.

Okay, never mind. I'll let base take over for a time more. Sorry.
