The male's eyes filled with wonder as he gazed at her. Acknowledging his part within the pack. The proclamation of wanting to save them. The male watched the female with watery eyes. The quote said he had never heard. Family. That is what they were. Not a perfect family, because he had to admit it had many flaws but a family he was proud of none the less.
The words spoken reminded him of someone. Someone from his past. His brother. Kovu. No one gets left behind. A true icon he aspired to be like.
His ears flickered as they all heard a beeping sound resonate throughout the corridor made up of kennels and cages. Reika growled, leaving momentarily, darting off to hide somewhere he presumed. His misty orbs filled with loss and fear, as they tried to follow. Seths ears pinned as he heard them speak, the voices full of black ice, pure hatred & disgust. His heart thudding and pounding as if trying to escape his chest. Trying to be free. His mind and consciousness swivelled. A moment of weakness escaped him. His legs froze to ice, slowly becoming softer and softer until it was so he could not stand. He was unsure of the turn of events but realised that his worry and panic had got the better of him.
There the brute stood. Trembling. Fear clouding his hazel eyes. He urged his legs to move as he commanded. Back. Back, as far back as he could get. Edging towards the furthest part of the lifeless cell he was held captive in. He stood up against the wall of his domain. He watched the captures stalk in. Amongst them was one he recognised. The one he feared. He was unsure of how he was going to survive. The sight alone set him off.
The brazen wolf now was gone. All that was left was a trembling pup. A pup that was helpless and afraid. Afraid for himself. Starstrike. Reika. His family. His pack. He had to be strong. To be free and save them. He had to fight. Fight for Hope. He tried and tried but to no avail. The dark drawing him closer. Comforting him. Willing him into fearfulness. The urge to run and hide scattered through his body, mind & soul. He couched in a low position. His orbs overflowing with more opaque tears.
One step. Two steps. Finally, the humans came towards his cage. The monstrosity of a creation he recognised. He saw the males eyes. Enjoyment shinning through seeing the wolf cowering away. Knowing its place. Please... please don't come in. The sire pleaded within his mind willing himself to try and stay calm. He released a low whine in his throat as he approached the entrance. No move to enter the hell hole it seemed.
'Poor things afraid' One of the men spoke in a baby tone. The dauntless man was next to speak. 'Clever thing. Knows whos boss and not to mess with me!' The male released a grim smirk. His eyes narrowing towards the far back. His tone was frozen cold and menacing, with every syllable announced. Challenging Seth to try and come at him. The sire new better. If he was to get out of here, he would have to bide his time. However scary it may get. However anxious it might have made him. Bide his time.
The pup continued to cower away. Feeling like a failure and a disappointment. The human had broken him. Turned him into nothing. A worthless pathetic piece of life. He went from a low crouch by the far back wall to shift into the far left corner curling himself up. Trying to hide. 'I can't... not again...' He spoke. The emotions in the brutes tone conveyed what he was feeling. His voice cracking.
Looking up he saw the dauntless guy's eyes shimmer once more before they turned and carried on their way. He started to calm. But only a little. He remained in that position for until they decided to leave. Hoping they wouldn't come back to him. He felt ashamed. Ashamed for cowering away and not standing up for himself. All he could do now was hope and pray that they could survive.

Seeing how the humans were treating Seth, Reika curled her lip up into a snarl and was about to growl but she forced it down as to stay hidden and grit her teeth instead, her hunched form exuded an animosity that was like acid-burning, slicing, potent. Hearing what Seth said made the burning rage hiss through her body like deathly poison, screeching a demanded release in the form of unwanted violence. It was like a volcano erupting; fury sweeping off her like ferocious waves. The wrath consumed like, engulfing her moralities and destroying the boundaries of loyalty. Nobody messes with my family. She snarled in her mind. Reika was about to dart out of her hiding spot but something in the back of her head told her to focus on her mission.
Taking a couple deep breaths, Reika mentally told herself to calm down and that she shouldn't act so rashly. Finally able to calm down, mostly, Reika peeked out from behind the cages and watched the two humans in front of Seth and the other wolf whom she didn't catch her name, cages and formed a plan. It wasn't as stupid as her first but it was a little risky. Maybe if I can just knock them out, one might drop whatever they use to open the cages in the process. Taking in another deep breath, she darted out from her hinding spot all the while ignoring the pain in her injured leg and tackled one of the humans from the front causing him to let out a small cry of shock and pain as he landed on the ground quite hard. She was about to run off but a sudden jab caused her to faulter in her movements which was enough time for the other human to unintentionally grab her injured.
This caused her to yelp slightly and try to pull her leg free from the human's graps but was unable too. With her anger not fully gone, Reika snarled, turned to the human holding her and lunged at him, forcing him to let go and jump back only to knock himself out by smacking his head on the edge of the table. Not wasting anytime and knowing the humans won't be out cold for long, Reika began to search their coat pockets for the keycard and finding it, she took it in her teeth, ran over to the two in the cages and fumbled around with the card as using these things was not an easy task.
Muttering a "how does this thing work?" Under her breath, she placed the flat side on the locking mechanism; it didn't do anything, growling, she placed it on the floor, flipped it over to the more rougher side, picked it up and placed it on the mechanism and this time it beeped and the cage doors swung open. "Come on guys, who knows how long we have til more humans come." She said, breathing hard but not not that hard.

A hazel Lupus rounded in the corner of a constructed personal hell. A Yelp being heard. A familiar noise. Reika. The wolf bolted towards the mainframe entrance. The Lupus’s body taut. Muscles Engulfing his fine built form. Ears pinned upright as if that of a Doberman. Face contorted with that of a bloodshed warrior. His eyes glowed a smooth-edged hazel. A complexion of emotion showing through his steeled orbs. The fear ebbing away slowly as radiated waves pulsed off the sire. Waves of anger and protectiveness flowing throughout the veins of the soldier. The sight held before him brought him amusement. The hollow eyes and empty-souled dauntless man. Out cold, motionless sprawled out across the floor. No more threats. No reason to be scared or in fear. Not for now at least. Gaze now shifting into the view of seeing Reika vastly approaching the Front side of the enclosure. Key card found. Maybe there was hope. Just maybe. That’s all he needed. He strained his hearing to audibly hear what the she-wolf was muttering under her breath. He backed up observing the wolf. Eyes intently watching her fiddle with the keycard. After a few seconds, a buzzing sound resonated throughout the hall constructed of multiple cages and kennels. He stood in the centre of the compacted square watching the metal barred door swing open outwardly. His face distorting to malice. He took his time. One paw in front of the other defiantly. Approaching his gateway to freedom. Each step was one closer to the capturer's demise. The stature of the wolf relentless and unchanging. An expression contorted with that of a bloodshed warrior. His eyes glowed with a steely determination of hazel showing through his steeled orbs. Taking one step outside of the division he looked at the pack she-wolf. ‘What is the plan Reika?’ he asked through gritted teeth and a contorted clenched jaw structure. The brutes tone ambushed with convoluted undertones. His presence becoming somewhat overwhelming. A cage he was imprisoned in to protect the humans from HIS wrath. They had the right sense to fear him. Now out and returning to his pack. His family. There was no stopping them. Economic society of top Predators. Reclaiming their De Jure as feared creatures. |

Reika looked around the room then back to Seth. "Try and get anyone else in this damn building out of here. Do you know if anyone else is in here?" She asked, her injured leg shaking from the weight and abuse it endured. "If not, than we should get out of here, get to Vix's pups than the others in the cage outside. That cage they're in does turn off until at night." She groaned, somewhat taking a step back from a sudden jab in her side but she shook it off when it went away.
Taking a quick glance out the windows; the yellow ball of fire changed to hues of orange, and then almost tangerine. It merged with the sky, like juice-mix dissolving in a glass of water. The clouds were cotton-candy, as though they blushed at the warm touch of the sun. "I don't mean to rush but we need to go, our chance to get the others is running low." She said urgent, beginning to walk but her leg caved in from under her.

The sire stood fast before the female. Like a soldier awaiting orders from their general before heading out to war. This was a war of sorts. The war between humans and wolves. If it was a war they wanted, it was a war they were going to get.
The males gaze shifted to that of the female’s frame. His orbs surveying her legs and the side of her body. His composure changing to a friendlier presence. His taut muscles relaxing resulting in a posture that was not so overbearing. The once steely orbs softening with a calm warm layer behind them.
The male’s ears pointing to the projection of Reika’s voice as she spoke, tilting his head as he was informed. The lupus released a low muffled rasp as he cleared his throat before speaking his mind. ‘As far as I am concerned, it is just us 3. However, that does raise questions. Why are we the only ones here? I haven’t been in many ….’ The sire paused to consider his next choice of words before continuing, ‘Testing facilities before but it should be crowded.’ He stopped briefly before continuing. ‘Another question. Why is the technology more advanced? We don’t have opposable thumbs so why use key cards and electronic security devices?’
Seth looked behind them to see the 2 guards unconscious. Serves them right. As much as he wanted retribution he couldn’t. It was not in him to kill. That is what the despicable monstrosities deserved. It would change him. He made a promise. A promise he would honour and keep. A promise to his brother. Kovu. The oath of becoming a better wolf, A better friend and brother. He owed Kovu that. He stood by it. A vow to not let hatred or anger consume you. To stand up for those who need it the most. To Find himself in a better place. A Family, pack, and a place he could call home.
He looked back at the female looking her up and down in concern. He knew Reika was capable of holding her own. He stood by her side for moral and physical support. She spoke of an escape. Her tone urgent as of the small-time gap they had. He noticed the female went to move off towards the exit. Underestimating the severity of the injury Reika had sustained he witness her buckle as her leg caved in from beneath her body.
As if the world had slowed. She started to float towards the ground. Like fate had pressed pause on events. Fate had given him the chance. The chance to prevent further damage. The chance to take control. He moved in sync with the downward motion of the she-wolf. Aiming to catch her just below the stomach. He surged forwards resulting in a softer landing. Allowing the pack wolf to rest against him. The weight of her supported on Seth, supporting her to the best of his ability. The males form stood fast, rooted to the spot. Just like that, fate had pressed play. Events once again as they were supposed to be. The brute stayed motionless. Allowing the female to make the first call of her actions.

"Gomabseubnida, Seth. Next time be a little more careful when you do that okay." Reika thanked the male who had caught her before she fell and lifting her injured leg off the floor. "Humans probably do it to have an easier life, strange creatures. Anyways, Starstrike was it? Okay, you're gonna have to grab either of our tails as this is gonna be a rather quick escape." She said to the pure white female, knowing of her disability when she saw her eyes.
"We need to mo- ahh!" She cut herself off when a sharp pain went through her belly and nearly fell as she was not expecting it. "Not now, not now." She said through gritted teeth, also trying to breathe. She shouldn't have jumped out of her hiding spot and be in this kind of situation. Reika whimpered as the pain only slightly increased, though she thought it had increased a lot. "Please not now." She pleaded, shutting her eyes tightly.

Anik resumes his pacing from before, his head dropped and tail raised with the tip flicking to and fro slowly. His posture screams ‘watch out’, a warning to any “beast” as he calls them that happens to come by not to enter or get close. His ears are angled toward his father, though any concern is masked by a monotone expression. The hushed clicking of untrimmed claws can be heard as he moves, following an almost soothing yet still frantic rhythm.
Yakone lies away from the younger, watching him pace with his head cocked to the side. “Pacing will do us no good, pup,” He barks, calm even though he reeks of anxiety. Most of his weight leans into his healthier side, his ears twitching at the sounds of Anik’s movements.
“Quiet!” Anik snaps, lips peeling back in a snarl as he - despite not wanting to - unleashed his frustration on the elder. His tail drops now, lashing angrily and hackles bristled. The snarl is returned, a scolding without words to make it clear that Anik will face the consequences if he tries anything. Electing not to test his luck for the time being, Anik turns away and returns to pacing along the wall.

Seth looked up. His form still motionless. ‘Sorry, Reika.’ He continued to keep his gazed plastered to the floor. Daring to look up. He hoped that he hadn’t made the injury worse by what he did. He then mumbled a small reply about the humans agreeing with the female.
The males head lifted swiftly as he heard the pack member get cut off. Sounded as if she was in pain. He felt the weight of Rei shift and adjusted a little trying to make support the female. ‘Not now? What do you mean not now rei? His voice plagued with panic and worry. He could smell that her scent was off but couldn’t fathom as to why.
His eyes widened as the confusion lifted a little, still not fully understanding though. Seth stood there frozen and unable to move. He looked at starstrike. ‘What do I do? How do I help rei?’ the males voice tight as if he was forcing himself to talk.

Her stomach tightened but fortunately for her, the pain went away, slowly, but the effects lasted a little longer. "It's alright Seth. Calm down, its a false alarm." Reika said, whimpering from the pain. She moved away from Seth her legs shaking almost causing her to lose her balance but she caught herself in time. "We need to move now. We've waisted enough time." Grabbing the keycard in her teeth, she limped out the room the way she came in still glad that thr humans were somewhere else and the window was still open.
"This is our ticket out, through this window." Reika said, trying not to drop the keycard. "There is a large bush but it won't hide all of us. We need to get to Vix's pups then find a hiding spot til nightfall then get the others." She jumped on the box under the window trying to keep her injured leg from hitting it again.

Seth observed Reika as she spoke, reassuring him. He shot a puzzled look off towards her with a question lingering within his eyes. His eyes glazed hiding the overwhelming concern and fear. For himself. For Reika. For the pack. Seths ears sat a little back, keeping an ear out. Ready to take action if they were interrupted at the wrong time. He had to protect them. All of them. However, his primary concern was focused on Reika.
'False alarm?' H asked her quietly shooting a look at the only entrance for the .... monsters, that had captured and mistreated them. 'Rei....' He choked back 'I have notic- ... your scent has changed'. Unable to continue he decided to stop himself short. His head tilted a little as he asked her while tried to school his features. His body posture shifted a little wondering if she was going to answer or keep her focus on the task at hand. Keeping us alive and trying to get out.
Within minutes Seth shot back, stopping the female from speaking 'nevermind we can talk about it later' he then turned his attention back to the small window. 'So escape from this place through the window?' He asked awaiting her orders. His eyes no longer showing concern, fear or worry. Just determination.

Reika glances back at Seth as he asks his questions. "Yes, this will get us out of this place but we'll have to be careful as there are humans walking about." She said, casting the male a questioning look but shook it off. With a small wince, she hops out of the window and landed, somewhat wobbly on three legs. "What do you mean my scent has changed?" She asked, confused. Did something happen when she went into false labour? Whatever Seth was talking about was making her a little nervous and when she was nervous, she doesn't always focus right. Trying to be confident, she focuses back on the task at hand.
"Wait here, I'll be back." Reika said passing the keycard to Seth and quietly and carefully made her way towards the bush where Lucy and Blade were hiding. Glancing around the corner of the building and not seeing any humans-if you can call them that, Reika dashed into the large bush, spotting the two were still alright. "Wake up you two," she said gently nudging the two pups. "We need to hide somewhere else then we'll get your mum and everyone else out." Not waiting for the two pups to wake up, she picked them up by the scruff, and making sure that there were no humans, she ran out of the bush and over to Seth and Starstrike.

Seth shot a wary glance at the fae. He shouldn't have said anything, but it was unmissable ... fear and .... something he couldn't put his paw on. He was thankful when she moved the conversation forward. Right now they needed to get out and find the others. They are stronger in numbers.
He took the keycard off of Reika and nodded gently while sitting down. His eyes surveyed around then watched Reika head off to check for a secure way of getting out of this hell hole. A few moments after he spotted her coming back with 2 pups.

Lucy woke up not realizing she fell asleep. She was surprised to see that she was being carried but soon calmed down when she realized it was Rei. Blade was starting to wake up as well.
Vix was laying down aways from the others. She was getting restless as time went on without her pups by her side. She growled lowly as she was getting more irritated and angry at the humans.

The sky was black tranquility married to a poetry of stars. It was the softness that called body and brain to rest and let the heart go to its steady rhythm. Night came as a reward of sorts, a restfulness above to calm the soul but this night would be everyone to get out of this human place alive. Having found a hideout a few hours earlier; it was doable but not perfect. It was enough to keep Reika, Seth and the two pups hidden also while keeping an eye on the others in the outside cage. During that time span, Reika's leg had gotten worse but she had reassured the others she was fine.
"Seth you're gonna have to get the others out of the cage. You have a better chance at escaping the humans if they see you." Reika said after examining her injury which was slowly growing infected.

After some time they had settled down allowing the sky to watch over them as they regained their strength. Seth lay there watching out for any potential threats. Making sure he had a good view of the pups and Reika but also his surroundings. He needed to keep them safe, to be able to get them out if need be.
His ears perked when Reika voice was heard which caused the male to shift slightly. He turned to look at her, giving her his attention. His expression turned from one of peace and calmness to then tight, filled with concern. He was torn and wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do. Leaving Reika and the pups to free the others. Her words made him uneasy.
‘Reika... I know they need to be free but I will only do it on one condition!’ His tone was authoritative. His eyes glowed with devotion to protecting the pack. ‘I need you to be safe so I want you and the pups to go and hide in a hiding space ... I can’t risk losing any of you.’ His voice was weak by the end. He was also unsure about her physical state which made him worry tenfold.

Recognizing the authoritative tone, Reika nods understanding Seth's worry. "I'll do that." She said, moving to stand only to almost fall over but she caught herself and ends up in sitting position. Despite she had told Seth she was fine, behind her determination filled eyes, there was hidden pain. 'I'm going to regret this big time,' She mentally sighed, slowly pushing to her paws. "Remember the hole we made behind the bush." She said, picking Blade and Lucy up by their scruffs.

The pups were listening to the adults then they let Rei carry them. Lucy and Blade stayed still so it wouldn't be difficult for her to carry them. They were wondering where their mom was.
Vix was getting restless and worried about Rei and her pups. Especially since Rei got hurt because of her. Vix growled lowly as she got up and started to pace around.

Anik’s tongue drags along his muzzle, wetting his dry nose as he retires to a far corner of the enclosure. Yakone, formerly held with him, had been moved out after passing. He couldn’t understand what the humans were saying, but he could tell from the scent that everything wasn’t well.
His head drops to rest atop his black mitts, ears pushed forward alertly and posture tense. He wouldn’t relax, couldn't, while he didn’t know what was happening to his pack. Were they safe? Did the humans even have them? Had they found a way out already if the humans did?
The thoughts run through his head at practically a mile a minute, and his claws scrape anxiously at the solid floor. His eyes seem to hold a dangerous glint, made more prominent by the light peeking through the doors. He shifts his weight between his haunches, lip curled anxiously as he stares at the entrance. The next human to enter his enclosure wasn’t leaving uninjured; he wanted out, and was determined to free himself if need be.

Limping in and out of the bushes, Reika took a quick glance to where the larger cage was. She hoped Seth could get the others out of there without any problems. Mentally sighing, the silvery-white female stealthily began to approach the hole that had been made. She stood by one of the bush, listening.
She heard voices but that was from the other stranger wolves. She listened intently. The voices were only coming from the wolves in the cage. Sipping into the bush, Reika puts down the two pups to allow them through the hole first then crawled through it herself, her injury not making it any easier. Once through the hole and making sure Blade and Lucy were following her, walks a little ways off before collapsing on the ground breathing heavily, the infection starting to take its toll on her.

The Male was happy to hear the dames reply. That helped put his mind at ease. He nodded to her In Appreciation and understanding. ‘Thank you’ His eyes lit up with a soft thankful undertone. He then watched her and the 2 pups go. ‘Are they all at the same location?’ , ‘how many guards?’. Numerous questions floated through his mind as he walked around and surveyed the surroundings. “An exit.... multiple exits actually,” he said coming up with a safe and secure plan for a ‘rescue mission’.
He has already had an encounter with some guards and first-hand experience of the systems that the facility uses. Tricky but not impossible. And that’s what he was counting on. ‘Maybe a distraction?’ He thought. “No ... no” he mumbled. His paws glided across the ground with his eyes full of hope. His mind racked hopelessly - looking for something .... anything. He then stopped. He was looking at this all wrong. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of simplicity. The brutes head shot up and he smirked. “They wanna dance... then let’s dance”
