She dropped to the ground, panting heavily. My sides... They hurt so bad... Some ribs broke on my... She moved slightly and cried out sharply. My right. She swallowed hard, took a deep breath, then stood up shakily. "Hey, Skye," she mumbled hoarsely, looking at him and smiling faintly. "Sorry I couldn't stop him from hurting you." She stumbling a few steps forward, leaning down to whuffle at Lola worriedly.
"Sister?" she mumbled. Like most foxes, she didn't think of their trio as a 'pack' so much as 'family.' "Are you alright?" She licked the vixen's cheek, thinking nothing of her newfound loyalty.

Skye poened his eyes again. The wolf wasn't alive, he knew that. But he knew nothing else. He turned and sat up, his back aching. He turned his head to look at his back. It was almost as dark and deep red as his coat. He shivered as it ached in pian when he tried to clean out the wound.
When he was finished, he tried to stand up and after a while he did. He walked over to where Rii and Lola was. But Lola was still on the ground. "Lola?" he looked at Rii. "How is she?" Skye kne nothing of treatement and only hoped she would make it through. She had too.

After a long moment, Rii stretched as best she could. "We'll... Get some herbs," she mumbled, making herself stay awake. They're just broken ribs... So long as they don't puncture anything, I'll be fine. She licked her lips, annoyed at how dry and sticky her mouth felt. "Any herbs you can find, bring them to me, and some cobwebs too..." She blinked rapidly, then set about moving Lola into a more comfortable position, whining and gingerly licking at 'sister's' wounds. Mama didn't teach me much, but she did have to teach me herbs since she was always using them on me... Let's see... "Coltsfoot," she mumbled. "Poppy for later..." She continued listing off herbs, mostly to keep herself awake as she dragged Lola away by her scruff, back to the 'safe spot' they'd established. The tall grasses and moss underpaw would be kinder than the forest floor and mud. She washed out the wounds, making a poultice of seemingly random herbs from in the grasses and making a pad over the wounds from the juicy substance.

Lola heard and smelled nothing of the real world, the last thing she remembered was being thrown on a rock nothing etce

Skye nodded and went of to collect some herbs. He limped around the forest and collected cobwebs with his fluffy tail. When he returned he had a whole tail full of cobwebs and other herbs in his jaws. Poppies, and anything else he could find. Skye set the herbs down beside Rii and started taking the cobwebs off his tail.

Her paw shot out without her eyes following--they remained trained on Lola--to snag a wad of cobwebs with expert ease. She settled them over the poultice, matting it down to get them stuck in place. She continued this until all the wounds were covered, then turned to treat his back, gingerly spreading the herbs and cobwebs into place. The last little bit of cobweb went onto a scrape of his; she ignored her side, seemingly unaware that it was bleeding from being scraped against the tree.

Lola opened her blue eyes, " riii.." she wispered, "Skye? What happened? Am I dead?" all these questions flowed through her mind.

"No you're not dead." Skye said. He couldn't have any of them die. Never.
Not as much blood was coming out of his back now and he felt more strength return to him. If he will ever see another wolf that looks or acts like this one...It will die.

She wagged her tail. "Nah, Sis. You're fine--just a bit beat up. How do you feel? The herbs I gave you should be kicking in shortly and lessen the pain, but there's some poppy here, as well as cumfry and other plants that'll make it hurt even less if you'd like." She smiled at her, surprised that were were still red and black blotches blurring her vision. Oh well... I probably just hit my head it all..

Lola stood up, "I'm fine you two heal yourselvess Ill get some fresh kill." she limped into the forest. She sented a mouse near, she lept and missed by 3 foxlengths,I guess im not healed enough to hunt. She smelled the wolf's trail, she followed it backwards to see were it came from, she soon sented a dead deer. She yipped loudly, "SKYE, RII I FOUND SOME FOOD!" she put her head down and gorged herself on the fresh killed doe.

Skye limped half the way to where Lola was. When he saw the huge deer he stared at it in amazement. It was true that they just ate, only a while ago, but for some reason, he was hungy again. He walked up to the deer and taking the first bite, found even more energy. This deer would hold them for a long time. A very long time.
But then he remembered. He didn't smell any wolf when they first came here. And then this wolf just...appeared. He looked around and scented the air once more. There wasn't anything else. How could he miss the wolf. It's a good resting place anyway. And he was sure no other wolf would come, at least he hoped no other wolf would come.

She rose and followed him slowly, sniffing at the ground; both out of curiosity, and to make sure she was still going the right way. This is frustrating... she thought in annoyance. She eyed the deer for a moment, then took a bite. She couldn't hardly taste it, and she felt like she was swallowing dirt when she ingested the deer. She curled her lip and gave her head a shake, only to make the world spin. She flopped down with a heavy sigh. "I'm gonna... Take a nap," she mumbled. "Wake me up if you need anything..."

Lola took another bite of the sweet meat, she licked her jaws clean and yipped happily, "You guys get some rest i'll stay up tonight on guard for any more wolfs." She took a couple more bites and swallowed. She sented the air, I smell water, she thought, she poked her head around a tree and saw a small clear pond, "Skye! I found water!" she yipped.

Skye looked to where she looked. Yes, there was water. He walked up to the pond and had a few mouth fulls of water. Sweet water. "Good job." he said smiling. "But i will take tonights post. You need some rest." He took one more mouth full of water.
