Mikael chuckled softly. Soon, they were back in the camp and the two were taking her to her den and gently setting her down. Mikael decided to stay there while Heilen headed out to go try to find Hellhound, worried that he couldn't see him. "Where could my brother have gone off to...?" he murmured, ears pulling back. Only he and Mikael could keep him calm...anyone else he wouldn't hesitate to kill if it came down to it. This was not good...

((I think Amalia and Akime should gang up on Kovalia once they figure out she likes Riker. xD)) 

"Actually, there is a problem. Yesterday, when Akime asked to talk to me, she attacked me saying that you were hers. I told her that it was your choice that I don't care for the rank like she does. I am not asking you to believe me, I just wanted to tell you what happened." She said, dipping her head to the ground. "I am sorry I hurt her in return." She sighed,staring at her paws...

((And kupa, right back at you. I declare that Amalia shall win this. -goes off to write stuff down- Not that she has the slightest chance, but a girl can try XD

EDIT: Oh noe........ Amalia doesn't wanna fight, she just wants to be with Riker and have his pups.))

Nodding, the Beta understood,  but didn't want to think much of those things.  Riker looked up suddenly.  Beta spots usually always had to fight, apart from last season.  Last season was good.  He didn't have to watch anybody die.  Scrambling up to Angel, he was sort of frantic, but quickly calmed down (in 1.5 seconds).  "I don't want anybody to die.. Can't it be like last season?  No deaths?" he asked.

(... -is still afraid- lol xD )

Mikael lay down beside Alesa, tilting his head when her paw twitched. He smiled a little bit, then set his head on his paws, hoping his glowing fur could be of some kind of comfort while she slept. He was a living nightlight, and he was glad for it. He, himself, was afraid of being out alone at night. He saw the things that lurked in the night...the evil things...things scarier than Hellhound on his worst days...

Hearing that they would be fighting for Riker, Kovalia was quickly up on her paws, ears pulled back and her unseeing eyes wide. HEr aura-sight suddenly became vivid for only a moment, and she could see what they all looked like. She then shook her head and shut it off, moving up, her steps slow and cautious. Would she really have to fight instead of just trying to win with her kind nature? She didn't want to fight her packmates...

Sierra was out and goign to watch the fight.  With no closing her eyes.  That was what she decided last season, because she always had to close her eyes.  But this time, the wolf thought about it long and hard.  If Sierra was in a real battle, she'd have to watch this all around her.. Better to start with getting used to it now.

(And thank goodness for Kovalia, Akime, and Amalia, Riker is protesting for no fighting for Beta Female.  Although, Akime/Amalia wouldn't think so xD )

Angel sighed to herself. " Okay, but, you have to get all the fighting males ready~!" she said, going back to her normal state. The battling place was like an arena. It was a large cave with a whole in the top. Angel took her place of the highest spot to watch over the fight, and smiled.

Toxic was herping his derp because no one interacts with him. 

(Lol.  Whoever he gets closest to and ends up loving the most is who he chooses. o3o

Sadly, my little Sierra is getting ignored by her crush ;~; -pets- It's alright... he'll come around.  xD )

Akime padded over to Riker, who was talking to Angel. Overhearing him, she said," I'll do my best to make sure there is no death." She started to walk away, then turned back. "Riker, I need to...tell you a secret." She said, hoping he'd follow her.

(edit: here's farook:) Farook padded into the arena, and got ready for Angel to say 'go' or 'let the battle begin' or whatever she was going to say.

(And, no, the secret is not about amalia, and it's not gonna be 'I love you.')

Heilen sighed softly, pulling his ears back when the alpa announced what she was going to do. HE shook his head, frowning slightly. All this fighting among the pack was ridiculous...they needed to be strong, unified. They shouldn't fight over rank... So he simply sat where he was, tails curled around him as he listened to the whispers of the trees.

((Weee. xD)) 

Angel waited. Kinda boredly.

No one gives a fuk about Toxic. He's going to commit Suicide. XD
