[atrb=background,http://i55.tinypic.com/23jsmrp.jpg] OOC// Maybe Rache or another one of the pups could assist in understanding Calla? Haha. Calla walked quietly through the jungle. It was a hot day, though the leaves from the trees shaded most of the area. It was late in the day, and the sun was almost ready to set. Calla had the oddest urge to feast on the favored meat she loved so much. But what about the animal? It's an animal too. Calla swallowed hard and squinted, scanning the area for any possible prey. Her equine/feline stomach growled furiously. It's been a while.. Surely a little nibble wouldn't hurt the animal too bad. Right? Then Calla spotted a small rodent; a rabbit, of course. There were enough of these, it wouldn't be missed. The corners of Calla's mouth curled in a smile as she lowered her crown slowly, and adjusted her tiger half to the height of her equine half. She moved forward slowly, eyes darting to the animal's only escape routes. She planned her strategy easily in her mind. Left, then right. Curve, strike. She wanted to confuse her prey, making it as easy to catch as possible. Her plan deemed successful. She found herself in front of the animal in a matter of seconds. It still seemed to be registering what had just happened while she stomped at it, but trying not to squish it entirely. She lifted an equine leg and sniffed at her catch. It smelled good. How Calla missed those easy days, when she could hunt and eat without regret. Maybe eating the animal wouldn't be so bad. After all, that's what it's here for. Calla shoved her ashamed nature away from her mind. Of course she could enjoy the meat provided from the animal! But after meeting Rache; Calla couldn't even dream of hurting the cute wolf pup. Besides, the pup could understand her! It was amazing. Calla agreed with herself to never harm a wolf, for the simple fact they could fight back easily, and some might understand her. Maybe once every thousand years, her mind debated. Calla blinked a few times and brought her thoughts back to her kill. She sucked in a quick breath before beginning to eat it. The juice spilled in her mouth, and she loved it. It was a taste like no other, and vegetation could never make up for it. When she finished, she lied down on her side. Her tail twitched, and spread the dirt beneath itself.

[Rache]

Rache had been napping, something her small puppy body required her to do a lot, when she heard the delectable sounds of an animal in pain. It roused her from slumber quickly and followed the sound. Had Kit gone off to play with animals without here? The sound was different form what mice sounded like. Had he figured out a way to play with larger animals? She didn't have to travel too far to find what she was looking for.

There was Calla, her new calagris friend, laying by an eaten corpse of th rabbit. Rache's ears perked up, did Calla know was to play with animals that she didn't? Rabbits were so much bigger than mice. The yellow and black pup gave an excited yip and ran over to Calla.
"How'd you do that! Could you show me! Papa never lets me eat rabbits! He says their to big. Did you come to play with me again?"

To Rache, Calla was her biggest treasure. Something none of here siblings knew about. Something she never wanted to share with them. This friendship with Calla made her special. Calla was the one animal Rache didn't feel like snuffing the life out of.

[Flynn]

Flynn shuffled methodically through the underbrush, remarking the trails. He was chewing some mushrooms he had snagged as he passed them, a little snack for the trail. He found most anything edible, though there were a few plants he avoided due to bad experiences. Soon his nose caught a new, and frightening scent. He had smelled them before in his travels, a calagris. His beady eyes widened and he stopped. Damn. A predator these deep in the jungle? He was going to turn around to avoid the conflict when another scent hit his nose. One of his nieces.

Dammit. Rosa would kill him if he let one of her blood die when it could have been avoided. He muscled through a few ferns and headed toward the scents. Soon blood accompanied it. Maybe it was too late for the little hybrid. He came into the clearing just as he heard his niece's voice. IT seemed to be in a different tongue though, he was not certain what she was saying. But she seemed energetic and healthy. He growled to announce his presence, "Rache....step away from that, it's dangerous." He bristled his small body to try to look intimidating to the calagris.

He squared off, showing his flank to the beast to look bigger, he would not let it hurt his ...'mate's' blood.

[atrb=background,http://i55.tinypic.com/23jsmrp.jpg] Calla looked up from the skeleton of her prey as she heard a familiar voice. It was Rache again. Calla gave her a smile as she ran over to her. She chuckled. The fearless little pup was very curious, it seemed. "Rache, keep in mind, I'm a big animal, and that one was small." Calla blinked as she realized what that might sound like. "You don't need to worry though. And as for the rabbit, I don't agree to you hunting a rabbit or any other bigger animal. Much too dangerous." Calla sighed as she thought of what Rache might have in mind for 'play.' Last time they 'played,' a big panther wolf hopped out of the shadows and was attempting to hunt her. What ever might happen now? "Sure. Well, I live here, Rache." Calla smiled at the smll pup again before sniffing at the air. She heard a growl and stood up quickly, not wanting to look vulnerable in case of an attack. Calla narrowed her gaze on the wolf that appeared. Yet another wolf decided to come when she was having a friendly conversation with the pup. Was this pup bad luck? Calla didn't know what he was saying, but he seemed disturbed. Calla snorted, and the wolf bristled himself. Calla turned her gaze to Rache. "What's he saying? And who is it?"

[Rache]

Rache wanted to argue with the calagris. She was big enough to hunt a rabbits. And she could hear what they were saying! She could understand them and trick them into her paws. There were a number of dirty, under handed tricks that Rache could use and she would enjoy using every single one of them.

But before the excitable pup could say as much, a wolf spoke behind her.
"Uncle Flynn!" she woof happily, but he was bristling.
His warning confused her. How could Calla be dangerous, she was her friend. And now someone knew about her. What if they tried to take her away or said that they couldn't be friends anymore. Rache definitely didn't want that to happen.

"Uncle Flynn! This is Calla! She's not dangerous, she's my friend! She even helped me chase off a trespasser the other day! But don't tell Kit okay!" The yellow and black pup explained.

Then Calla was asking her a question. She had forgotten that the calagris couldn't understand Flynn."This is my Uncle Flynn. He's an under boss and very powerful! He thinks your dangerous for some reason."

[Flynn]

Flynn looked to the blurry figure of his niece, to the foreboding blob of a calagris. "That is a predator. They eat wolves. " He had to explain it to her, did she not have the natural instinct to avoid those things? He hated to see how she would react to a dragon. It took him a second to realize that she was speaking to the beast, and it understood her. He narrowed his eyes at Rache, "You can understand it?" This was hard to wrap his head around. The shrew and the wolf in him were in agreement that the situation was bad.

His tattered ears flicked up when she mentioned a trespasser, "Obviously our Soldiers don't deserve their ranks if they are letting intruders in." He growled a little, his mood growing more foul as the conversation went on. But...his reason spoke up, maybe it would be advantageous to have a subdued creature in their ranks. The wheels in his master-mind were begining to turn, though he kept a wary eye on the animal before them.

[atrb=background,http://i55.tinypic.com/23jsmrp.jpg] Calla listened as Rache tried to explain to her 'Uncle Flynn' about her being a friend, and not being dangerous. Calla gave a light smile to Rache as she mentioned that trespasser wolf. "And you did a good job with that too, Rache. Very forceful and brave," she told the pup. Calla chuckled again as she remembered the scene. Rache seemed to be even more fearless than she was at the time. Calla let her blue gaze travel to Flynn once again. He was still in his defensive stance, but his ears flicked up. He growled and Calla took a step back from the pup, not knowing what the wolf was growling about. Was he trying to warn Calla? She pawed at the dirt and snorted as he spoke. She wondered what he might be saying. The Under Boss, eh? Like in a wolf pack. Calla let out a sigh as she remembered the herd she used to be in with her family. Strength and security in numbers. Calla missed those days. She didn't have a fear in the world, but now she was on her own. She yearned for that type of enviroment again. OOC/ Sorry for shortness and low quality! D:

[Rache]

Rache puffed out her chest at the praise from Calla. She rarely ever got praise from anyone. With the amount of siblings she had it was hard to stick out, but Calla was only hers. She didn't have to share her with the rest. But again uncle Flynn confused her. Calla, ear wolves? No way!

"Calla wouldn't eat me Uncle Flynn," She denied adamantly then turned to the calagris,"Right Calla?"

She couldn't believe that Calla would hurt her. Calla was hers. If Calla tried to eat her that would be betrayal and Rache wouldn't stand for that. Uncle Flynn was just jealous that he didn't have his own calagris.

"Of course I can understand her. I'm special!" She boasted, she wasn't going to mention that all of her siblings could also understand what other animals said. He didn't need to know that. "If I were a soldier I wouldn't let any trespassers here! One day I wanna be like you Uncle Flynn!"
