Killjoy remained on alert as he watched Orien prepare to dive under Aquila. He held his breath when Oriens head went under, prepared to jump in if needed. He glanced at River for a second, panic raising in his eyes, before let out his breath as he submerged.

Once they were on the side, he let them rest for a bit. He nodded at Orien, knowig that he did well to help the female. He felt a pinch of... what was it? Jealousy? When river went to help warm up the female. He shook the feeling off, and hoped that it didn't show. He wasn't to give in to any feelings. He had to be a proud standing Alpha who couldn't get feels mixed in.

He stood up, and shook out his short pelt.

"Orien, would you please help Aquila get to our camp, while I make sure that River gets there safely? We wouldn't want Night's best hunters to get hurt even more under our watch." He said, making eye contact with the older male. "Our camp is a ten or so minute walk from here, it's pretty easy, the only thing that we need to worry about is the hill, but it's not rocky, just a bit steep." He said, waiting for their reply.

He watched Aquila's eyes. They seemed sad.

"Aquila, don't doubt yourself. You are worth more then you think, every wolf has a special place in their pack, and I'm sure that your medic will be able to fix you right up once you return." He said, nodding respectfully.

Sundown stepped out of the medic den with all the herbs he thought he may need. He was really worried about his Alpha, and hoped that the other wolf was okay. He walked around camp, looking for a scout, or hunter, but came up empty pawed.

I will be brave, and go out to find them myself, after all, I know the way. He felt a rush of fear of the thought crossing the river, but shoved it down his throat. He wouldn't feel fear while helping another wolf in need. He musn't, after all, the only thing to fear was fear itself, right? He hoped that was right.

He walked out of camp, and along the woven path, following his scent that he'd left coming back.

He stopped at the riverbank. He trembled at the thought of the water.

"Night?" He called out, hoping that his voice hadn't shook. He tried to sound proud, and confident, but he didn't feel that it did, after all he wasn't a proud nor a confident wolf.

As Killjoy stood up, Orien did too, slowly stretching out his achy muscles. He then nodded at his alphas words. "Of course. If she should get hurt it is fully my fault." As Orien said these words he felt an odd responsibility to keep Aquillia safe, with his life. Orien then nodded again, "I know our territory, alpha, and ill make sure Aquillia stays safe during the hill." Just then Killjoy spoke to Aquillia. I guess both me and Killjoy had the same idea. Orien thought, still slightly worried about Aquillia and even River. Orien then stretched out by doing a slight bow before looking over to Aquillia. "Ready?"

Killjoy nodded, and turned around to lead the way. He fell into the familiar path that he knew like a rabbit knew it's hole. He kept his eye on River as he walked along, carefully picking out the best routes possible.

He went slow for the injured wolves to not fall behind. He really hoped that Hondo had made is back safely, and that Rags had things under control, while not pissing of Hondo. He sighed, as he thought of that, but shook it out of his mind to help him focus on the hurt wolves he was leading to his camp.

They reached the base of the hill, and he stopped.

"This is the last hard part before reaching camp. After this is a smooth two minute walk into the camp, where we can find you all nice, hopefully already made dens." He said, looking up at the daunting hill. He let out a breath, and started the slow, but steady walk up it.

"Stay over there! We are coming to yoy" He heard. He nodded, as he had no issue with that. He sat down, and waited for his Alpha and Beta to come to him. He was glad that he wouldn't have to face the black, murky waters again tonight.

He could hear Sundown on the oyher side. That was his hope. He leaned on his alpha for support. His head swarming. The river was cold, as he already knew, but he had to get across. He put his foot into the icy cold water. He took it back quickly but shook himself. Then with Night's help, he walked slowly into the river.

Brute l Male l Beta l M: Night, Sundown

Brute nodded and shifted slightly downstream. He walked on the bottom of the riverbed, feeling the smooth pebbles on the riverbed. Then it left, making him churn his legs in the swimming motion. His head was barely above the water. He slightly gasped for breath breathing in a few breaths of water. But he continued on, the freezing water causing his fur to stick to his skin and making his shiver. They were about halfway across when something hit his front left foot. He yelped in pain and went under. He started breathing in water as he pumped his legs trying to get to the surface. But every time he tried a searing pain went up his leg. After a few more seconds, his world went black.

Orien followed his alpha and the two females as they slowly walked back to camp. Orien was happy for the slow pace though, so he didnt have to keep over working his muscles. He made sure to be somewhat behind the group so he could help if someone needed help keeping up. After a couple of minutes Killjoy stopped at the base of a hill saying, "This is the last hard part before reaching camp. After this is a smooth two minute walk into the camp, where we can find you all nice, hopefully already made dens." Orien nodded before turning to Aquillia to see if she was alright. After he had done that, he followed Killjoy up the hill. This time he made sure to be right by Aquillia, in case she slipped or something. Orien never took his eyes off, Killjoy, the path and Aquillia. All the while, still being alert to his surrondings.
