Shadowstar followed Amia. As he reached the edge of the woods, he looked back. Was that his imagination, or had something moved in the darkness behind him? He shivered and stepped out, blinking in the daylight. His fur was covered with needles, which, while they had not touched his skin, made him look like a black pincushion. "Finally. I don't like that place at all." Shadowstar sat down, trying to get the pine needles out of his fur.

Amia laughed "You look like a porcupine!"She helped Jero with the sand in his eyes, and would help ShadowStar. She pulled out a couple of needles, spitting them out. She cought in the glimpse of her eye something in the woods. "Wha-What was that?" She said backing up, ears pressed foward, looking in to the forest.

Ignoring his prickled pelt, he jumped up, peering into the gloom. "What? What did you see?" His red eyes were nervous, darting from tree to tree and the darkness between. For an instant he thought another pair of eyes was looking out at him, but as he looked closer, they vanished.

Amia said "I'm not sure. It was black and moved fast, I could not really tell." She said still looking in the forest, "Did you see something?" She looked to the male, and then back to the darkness i nthe forest. (WB)

"I...I thought I saw another pair of eyes for a second there." There was a slight quaver in the black brute's voice as he tried to see what was in there. "You don't think there something in there do you?" Shadowstar was scared of very little except the unknown, but right now, the unknown was staring him in the face. (hmm, what should it be? I didn;t know what to do without godmoding)

(I really don't care....don't mind if you have to godmode.....) Amia looked at ShadowStar, "I don't know..I really don't know." She watched the woods carfully, "Maybe it's called Deadly Arrow Forest because it not only has spike things as leaves, but something in there is deadly." She backed up a step, before seeing the shadow again.

(ok, I'm gonna make it....a very large bear what say?)
Shadowstar had to stop his limbs from trembling. Something was in there. He could feel it's ominous presence in every prickling hair on his pelt. "Y-Yes something's in there." His voice sounded strange to his own ears, fearing the unknown peril, yet refusing to move.
A large black shape paced the edge of the forest, trying to decide if the wolves were prey. It was a huge black bear, nearly invisible because of its color. Red eyes gleamed as a descision was reached...

Amia stepped towards the forest, she started to tremble more..she whispred, "Run..." She looked behind her at Shadowstar, "RUN BEAR!" She said as she started off, not as fast as she would normally be because of her leg.

Shadowstar shot off in the opposite direction from Amia, skidding to halt as he realized that the bear had come lumbering out of woods, and was heading quickly toward the limping Amia, gaining on her.(sorry about the powerplay,correct me if you want). Shadowstar's mind was tearing at him two ways: Save himself, or help Amia.

(it's fine)
Amia saw the bear come at her, she growled, fur bristling. Amia had never been so scared in her whole life. She knew at this point there was no way she could out run the beast. He was headed right for her, and he was not about to slow down either. She took a step back, fur still standing on end. She snapped at the bear, but no use, with this thing in her leg, she was as helpless as a pup.

The bear swiped at Amia's head with one massive paw. It raored loudly, baring long, deadly fangs at the white wolf before him.
Shadowstar was running back the way he had come. There was no way he going to let this bear-monster eat one of his pack mates. He was bigger than Amia, though still small in conparision. Undauted, he quickened his pace.
The bear's roar stopped suddenly as a black shape cannoned into it's side. No massive damage was cause, but the wind was driven out of the beast, and the bear slid back several paces under the impace.
Shadowstar dug his teeth into the thick fur, trying to reach skin and blood. He jumped away as he dodged a swipe of the massive paw that could have crushed him. "Get out of here!" He called to Amia

Amia was able to dodge the paw, but just barely. She feared it was going to be the end of her. she saw ShadowStar come to help her, you did not have to tell her twice to move. She ran as fast as she could with the needle in her hip, it was still not as fast as she could really go, but fast enough. She hoped he was going to be ok.

Shadowstar placed himself between the bear and the fleeing Amia, hackles raised and snarling. The bear stopped for a moment and blinked, as if he couldn't believe this scrap of fur dared to stand up to him. Shadowstar used the opening, and jumped, grabbing the bear's neck in his jaws. He felt his teeth finally get through the fur, and blood flowed into his mouth. He felt a surge of triumph, which was immeadiately doused and the bear's paw connected with his side, tearing huge furrows in Shadowstar's flesh. He let go of the bear's neck with a stifled hiss of pain, stumbling as his paws hit earth. Shadowstar chanced a glance at Amia. She was almost far away enough now, he just needed to hold this monster back a bit longer. Ignoring the blood gushing down his side, Shadowstar swiped his claws over the muzzle of the bear that had opened to bite.

Amia looked back for a second only to see ShadowStar get a paw conected to his side. When she saw the blood she shuddered. She wantd to go back and help, no matter how small she looked, she was a good fighter, but that damn thing in her leg. She looked at it, and whimpered for a moment. She swong her head around and pulled it out. She yelped, but it was out. She tested it putting weight on it, she was able to do that. She remembered the bear. "Hope I'm able to run." She said aloud but to herself.
She started off in a run most wolves would do, but then her pace quickened, and even after that she speed up more. Amazing how fast she could run. As she bolted right for the bear, she lept upon it as she got colse. Her powerful jaws closed on the bears spine. If he thrased enough it would snapp, he could not reach Amia on his back, so it was a good thing.

The bear rose onto his hind legs, stretching neck and paws around, trying to get rid of the thing on his back.
Shadowstar saw, through a red haze that clouded his eyes, Amia's jump. The turmoil of battle left no room for wondering why. Taking advantage of the bear's destraction, Shadowstar put all of his dwindling energy into one final act. He lept, putting his full force behind the jaws that connected with the bear's throat. Fur and skin tore as a red river flooded over Shadowstar from the bear's wound. Shadowstar backed away unsteadily as the bear fell, writhing in it's death throes, trying to get clear of the flailing paws. He did, but not before one caught and opened further, the wounds on his side.
The bear's spasms became weaker and weaker, until, with a rattling breath, they ceased altogether.
