Snow nuzzled him back as she gave him a slight nod. "I would love to. You haven't caused anything that already wasn't there." She felt much better now she was with Vojo. His land looked quite interesting and it looked like a chance to have a adventurer.

Liz walked out of the den and found a nice shady tree a good 30ft from the packs home "I guess this will have to do" Liz lay down thinking about the family she had lost the family she had never really known.

Vojo turned disapearing into the underbrush, he knew this land like no other it had been his home for so long, and all he had to do was explore. He loved spending time with snow it made him feel alive again, like he had when he was a pup. he turned looking back "You coming slow poke?" he yelled over his shoulder.

Snow turned and looked at him. She rolled her eyes as she ran up beside him keeping up with him pace for pace. "Who are you calling a slow poke? I'm faster than you on your good day." Snow gave him a playful wink as she enjoyed playing with him. Vojo made her feel like a pup again witch was nice she thought as they went. If she had known more about the land she would have challenged him to a race but since she knew little about his land she would have to follow him instead and trust him.

Vojo smiled laughing "You couldn't beat me here, only on your own land." he said winking at snow. Vojo wasn't watching where he was going pushing through some underbrush to a ghostly den, long since abandoned. vojo stopped and stood still just looking at one bleached wolf skeleton near the den.

Snow froze as her smiled faded. She stared at the skeleton as her mind went blank. She looked to Vojo wandering if he was ok. She knew this must have been one of the dens of his pack. Snow gently nuzzled him to let him know it was ok.

Vojo felt snow nuzzleing him, "Welcome to my home...." he said quiet and distantly. Vojo didn't know why he walked to here, it was his home where he had lived, where he found out his mother wasnt coming home anymore. It was the last place he was ever a puppy, where he had saftey before he had to fend for himself all the time. turning away he walked back into the underbrush to a small stump with claw marks on it. "i cryed here for days, until i finally had to catch something to stay alive." saying it to no one in particular.

Dresdus chased after Snow. He went deep into moon pack territory. He spotted Snow and Vojo entering the moon pack den. Dresdus sprang from the high rocks. "Snow wait! Let me explain. I only do this because I'm your father. I'm afraid I might loose you. I still blame myself for Fang's death, and I don't want to loose another of my young, that's all."

Snow looked from Vojo as she glared at her father. She shook her head as she moved to Vojo's side and nuzzled him reassuringly. "I am sorry Vojo. And I am sorry for my father as well." She turned knowing she had to face him some time. She stared at her father for a while then looked to the den. " That is to late just as it was to late to save fang. You made a difference between me and fang. I was never close to you and I want be now. Please leave you have done enough damage here. Just look." She turned and stared him back in the eyes.

"What I did here that day, I did for you and the entire forest. I do not regret that." Tears fell down his face. "You want to leave the pack, I understand." Dresdus turned to walk away. Suddenly, a grizzle bear appeard, letting out a mighty roar.

Liz saw the bear and lunged for it trying to get its attention away from the others.

"Everyone get back!" Dresdus shouted. He lunged at the bears throat. Dresdus bit and clawed at the bears face. The grizzle nailed Dresdus with a devastateing swipe, knocking him to the ground. Blood gushed from Dresdus's side, and his wounds were deep. But he continued to fight.

Liz was thrown against a rock but she lunged at him a seccond time and with one blow the bear's jaw broke and the beast fell to the grownd.

Dresdus had fought the bear, biteing and clawing at it's face, neck, and belly. Every time the bear smack Dresdus with it's mighty paws tip with razor sharp claws. After the beast fell, Dresdus was a horrible mess. Deep, gapeing wounds all over his body. His bones broken. He coughed up blood, then collapsed to the ground. "Snow...please come here."

Liz didnt know what to do. She put the alpha on her back and carried him back to the den.

Blade was letting Ice play with his tail when Liz came running in with Dresdus. He got up and ran to his father's side. "Dad, what happend?!" Dresdus could barely breath. "I need to speak with...Snow."

Liz was terrified at the sight she saw before her! She felt like this was all her fault!! If only she could have killed the bear sooner!!

Snow appeared by his side as she gently nuzzled him licking his wounds.She kept quite as she hoped he would be ok. She was made at him but he was still her father.

"Snow, I know that you can never forgive me, But everything that I have done I've done for you. One of the greatest joys in my life has been having you as my daughter. I am proud of you. you have grown from a pup to a mighty wolf. And I know that no matter what path you choose in life, you will become the greatest wolf the forest has ever seen. I...love...you" Dresdus stopped breathing, and his body went cold.

Liz dropped her head feeling tears comming on. "What do we do now?" Liz asked to the grownd too sad to look up.

Tears ran down Snow's muzzle as she gently nuzzled him. She took a step back as she lifted her head and let out a howl, that was sad and haunting to any that heard it. Snow knew her mother was going to be the harest hit by this news. She didn't want to have to be the one to tell Frost that her mate was dead, but she would have to soon enough. Snow hung her head as her mother saw what had happen. It broke her heart to see her mother in such pain. She knew that her mother would be the next to go if her and blade didn't find something to keep Frost from thinking about Dresdus. Maybe Ice would be just what they all needed after all. If Frost was busy keeping after Ice she wouldn't think about the loss of her mate though Snow knew that was a long shot.

Frost turned her head as she heard what sounded like Snows cry. She rose to her feet as she heard the howl. It bothered her to hear it sounding so sad, this was not how Snow was. Why where the others acting in such a way she wandered. What was all the grouping for. Frost felt her heart fade as she neared Snow and the others. The old alpha female moved pasted the group to Dresdus side, where she bent down and nuzzled her mate as tears ran down her muzzle. She fell to the ground as she laid there beside her mate crying and joining Snow in her cry.

Vojo stood silent behind everyone, he knew this waspartially his fault. Though as much ass it hurt to see snow like this, there was a hint of satisfaction, he quickly pushed it away but it was still there. All he did was stand and stare, he had no idea what he could do to help, instead he just stood there, looking at everyone.

Snow turned as she Stepped back and glanced to Vojo. She turned her head as she waited for her mother to stop crying though she knew it might take a while. She felt bad that he had died but she couldn't help but think her father had it coming though she hadn't thought a bear would have killed him. Though they minght not have seen eye to eye she still loved him.

Blade cried as he looked down at Dresdus's body. He then looked up at Snow and shouted"This is your fault! If you hadn't fallen in love with that piece of filth, than father wouldn't have had to follow you out to that wasteland and ended up dead!"

Snow turned and glared at Blade she let out a growl. "Watch your mouth lion!" Snow glared at him as she moved in front of Vojo. The hair on the back of her neck stud on end as she looked ready to lung at the lion.

Frost turned and looked at the two. "That is enough....it is no ones fault. Please this is hard on all of us. Blade take Ice some where else for now. He doesn't need to see this."
