Taylor - stripes and shadows (lesbian) [on hold]

Chapter 14 (part 2)

I woke up the next morning still laid on the sofa feeling slightly dazed, getting up I decided I needed a shower, luckily it was still early, stripping off I made sure the water was at just the right temperature before jumping in, I started wondering what was going to happen once the pack was fully formed, I knew I had to make alliances but that stuff didn’t really concern me, most of the packs in this area had younger members that wanted to join so it was inevitable that they would want an alliance so there their members children wouldn’t be involved in any disputes for territory, even I new a loyal pack member wouldn’t want to fight siblings, I didn’t know if every pack had someone joining ours or what would happen if someone got rejected to join, if it would call friction between our pack and there’s or not, I started laughing as I imagined the other’s shouting at me for worrying, they’ve told me off for it so many times and yet I still do it.

I got downstairs to Joe and Deane sprawled out on the sofa watching TV, wandering over I sat down in the arm chair “where’s Amber and Lance?” Joe looked from the TV to me as I asked the question “dunno were Lance has got to but Ambers with Bart and some others who in the back garden, training them up”

“Ah right, how come she’s training them?” I asked slightly confused “I thought Lance would be doing that”

 “well Lance has more experience with training werecat’s but not werewolf’s or shifters, Amber can take the form of a wolf or cat so it’s naturally easier for her to train them than Lance, once she’s done with the werecat’s I image lance will want to train them further while someone else will train the werewolf’s and another person for the shifters, it’s just basic stuff for now until there they get to the standards of the others who have joined” Joe explained with her eyes wandering back and forth from me and the TV “what if they don’t meet those standards?” I asked integer “then they can’t join as full members, they’ll either chooses to leave or work in non-combat related roles for the clan, different sections of the clan form packs as you know already, we’re in the founding pack which puts us at the top, then there’s sub packs, the combat pack or warriors as they prefer to be called are next but even that’s in different ranks, it’s all a bit complicated really” Joe explained “ do you really want to know?”

“Yeah, it would help to know I guess” I said getting comfy in the arm chair

“alright, I’ll start off by explaining the combat pack’s ranking system, obviously every pack has a leader who will report to you, the combat packs leading member will have two who rank just below him, one of these members will be in charge of the elite forces, the more advanced in combat will be under his command, but not just those who are good at fighting are under his command, scouts and those who can heal are also important  after all you can’t have warriors without people to tell them were there needed or people to heal them when they get hurt, again though all three of these need leaders to report back, a clan leader need’s to be kept informed of everything, you don’t want anyone going rogue or plotting to take over after all, the other person who’s under the main leader is in charge of the fighters who aren’t good enough to get into the elite unit, more than likely because were a mixed clan they’ll probably be split up into there kinds, I’d imagine it would be easier that way, now that’s the combat pack explained, there the most important, the other’s are just small pack’s, those who keep living in order or run businesses to sustain income for the clan, there important, it’s just not as honourable as being a warrior, some see it as a failure to have to do these jobs but without them the clan wouldn’t be able to sustain most of them realise this, some even think it is honourable to be someone who keeps the clan going” Joe explained, Deane had wandered off while Joe had been talking so it was just us two in the left in the living room now, Joe sat up from where she’d been laying on the sofa and patted the space she’d made “might as well watch a movie with me and relax for a bit, some of the new comers will more than likely want to fight you at some point so why not” Joe smiled as I got up and sat beside her, I couldn’t wait for the clan to be made already so we could do this more often I thought as Joe lay back down across my legs to watch the movie.
