"I asked who's there!" Missile growls again as she heard growling somewhere close. "You again." a familiar voice to most of the pack says, and they quickly recognized it as Jade. Missile growled though as the last time she had seem this pack their peregrine falcon friend had almost paralyzed her. That's when the peregrine falcon she was talking about and a barn owl she knew very well flew down, "Woah, woah, we're on the same side. Tempest says as the raccoon  got off the  bird. "Thank god I thought I was going to die on that flight." Loki says making Thorn roll her eyes at the over dramatic raccoon. "Tempest it's so good to see you again." Thorn says as Tempest smiles, "You two, and I see that Pumpkin is safe and sound with you." Tempest says making the black dog and orange cat look to the pack of animals.

"Pumpkin you're okay!" Diamond says instantly running to her friend as Jade wagged her tail going over to Pumpkin wag her tail. "Mama who's that?" Moon asks jumping off her mother dog and looking to the black dog and orange cat. That made both Diamond and Jade, look at Thorn in shock. "Wait you're a mother now!" Jade barks in disbelief as Thorn rolls her eyes, "Yep I am that's Moon and the one on my back is Rosalyn, and before you say anything. Yes, Arrow and I are still together. He Dove Tyson and our other pups Briar and Spectro. Their protecting our territory." Thorn says as she really didn't want to deal with Jade right now.

Jade just backed up she wasn't use to this Thorn. The Thorn she knew was always kind, protective, and wise. Now the setter mix didn't want anything to do with her. "Thorn listen I'm sorry I should have trusted you, and just not you, but Arrow too. I was just so worried about Pumpkin when everything went down, and Tyson almost drowning did not help." Jade says as Thorn just sighs looking to her puppies. "I don't know if I could ever trust you again. I can't trust you if you can't trust us. We were supposed to be a pack who could trust one another, but I guess a pack is only as strong as it's weakest link." Thorn says lowly as Pumpkin intervened.

"Thorn, why don't you give them another chance? It was a hectic time for all of us. I'm sure that The Whirlwind Pack, can redeem themselves, and maybe together you can get me home. You're a team, you should try to remake that team." Pumpkin says as Thorn groans, "Yeah sure, whatever Arrow is going to have my hide if he figures this out though." Thorn says muttering the last part to herself, as Arrow was still holding a grudge on Jade, and he didn't want Thorn anywhere near her, but for Pumpkin's sake she would agree. That's when she heard two other dogs come up. "It looks like we were right Celia."

A border collie says as Jade quickly introduced them "Thorn, Missile, and others this is Celia and Maya they helped us find you." Jade says as Thorn smiles at the dogs." It's nice to meet you two. I'm Thorn and those are two of my puppies Moon and Rosalyn. And the other are Missile, Flamethrower,Seashell,Clover, Blaze, and Pumpkin. Thorn says motioning to everyone. As Maya nods, "It's a pleasure to meet you as well we don't get out to often because of our disabilities. You see I can't smell and Celia's blind." Maya says as Thorn nods. "Okay well Celia Maya how would you like to join all of us? I mean it's already a full house." Thorn says making Celia and Maya chuckle.

"Thanks for the offer, but we really should be going. We already left our territory long enough, and we don't want to lose it. Bye Jade, bye Diamond hope you find what you're looking forward, we'll see and smell ya around." Celia says starting to trot off. "Bye you two thanks for the help." Diamond and Jade call out before turning back to Thorn. "I guess we better keep walking huh." Thorn says not knowing who exactly was leading anymore.

Jade just put her tails and ears down, "You take this one it's your pack not mine." Jade says as Thorn nods looking to Missile who just looked to her as well before looking to her owl friend. "Hey Willow, can you do me a favor and go home and tell the pack to be ready to leave as soon as Flame, and I get back. Missile says as Willow nods, "Yes, Missile I will." Willow says before flying off making Missile nod, "Alright now we can go." Missile says as Thorn nods, "Alright then, let's get Pumpkin home." Thorn says pointing her nose up smelling the path Thorn had took a few months ago. As they continued on.

There was an awkward silence for a little while before Pumpkin started talking. "So let's play a game. How about we play..."  Pumpkin started as Missile rolls her eyes, "How about you shut your trap. It's to late to be playing games." Missile barks out quietly as Flame was asleep on her back again, and Moon and Rosalyn on Thorn's back. "Thorn rolled her eyes, but she agreed with Missile. "Missile's right, Pumpkin, it's late and my pups are asleep so is Flame. Plus that could cause unwanted attention. "

Thorn says as Diamond smiles Thorn had always been amazing at leading, and was always calm and cool about it as well. She missed the pack feeling as it was only her and Jade for a little while there. And even though she was a lone cat before she much preferred her pack over her old life. Pumpkin sighs, "Fine, but once they wake up can we?"  Pumpkin basically begged, as Thorn rolled her eyes, but nods, "Yeah sure if you aren't home by then Thorn whispers, as Pumpkin wags her tail, " I can't wait to be home." Pumpkin says excitedly as Thorn nods, "I know you are, and I bet Georgie and Mira will be relieved to see you." Thorn says with a smile. As they continued on their way.
