Raven was holding Katie carefully in her jaws. Her packmates stared at her in shock and wonder.
"No worries." she assured.
"If Katie didn't run away, we would be fine." Luke muttered.
"She's in her puppy form, plus, quests have obstacles, Luke." Raven narrowed her eyes.
"I'll take her, Raven." Goldenglow stepped forward and gently took Katie into his grip.
Raven brushed her tail along Goldenglow's flank in acknowledgment of what he offered. She started padding with her packmates following, Snowy walking up next to her. The ground was getting firmer and flatter. The snowy surface was becoming colder under Raven's paws. Ranging her senses, she got a view of the path, she was in the mountains. The big mountain where Fenix's hideout was, was not too far. The air was becoming thinner as the mountain's height grew at each pawstep. Raven wanted to know what was happening at the hideout. Frostcrow had just brought a mountain buffalo in as a hunt. Fenix was pleased with her food supply, as her tail impatiently flickered for Raven's arrival. Raven felt a huge pang of guilt, then she realized, these were the obstacles that were holding her back. She didn't care too much, as long as she was on her quest and heading there.

Flower was in a blue sparkling den in Fenix's hideout. What guests like her get treated with such respect? She looked over and realized it was electric, Frostcrow had lit the den with electricity so she could get zapped if she tried breaking free.
"Nice one, Frostcrow." Fenix complimented her cousin.
"Thank you." Frostcrow dipped his head in acknowledgment.
"Ah, Raven, I know you're there." Fenix was staring at the little bramble patch that Raven had been crouching in.
"Huh?" Frostcrow turned and his ears twitched to see Raven.
"You should be careful of where you're walking." Fenix barked.
"I'm fine." Raven assured, a little bit of amusement and annoyance crawled into her paws.
"She's fine, but what is she doing here?" Frostcrow sat down expectantly.
"She just happened to range her senses over here." Fenix murmured.
"I promise I'll be at this hideout soon, for real." Raven woofed.
"Okay." Frostcrow and Fenix responded in unison, glancing at Flower who had just gotten electrocuted. Raven looked at her evil sister, she couldn't believe that they were related, ever since she discovered Flower's dark side. Flower's white fur was ruffled and messy, dark electricity had burned and stained it. Eyeing her closely, Flower's stomach was swollen. WHAT?! She looked at her cousin and her other sister to see if her assumption was true, they both nodded to her as if they knew what she was thinking. Flower is pregnant with Bloodhound's pups, and Bloodhound is Dark Lord's son. She gasped, as she imagined what her father, Blackstorm, alpha male of StormPack, would think if he found out that one of his daughter's was mates with a DarkPack member and allies with DarkPack, the evil afterlife. Raven already knew where Flower would be headed after death, the same route as Thunder. Flower laughed as Thunder's blue fog filled the hideout, fading after a few seconds as Raven angrily realized that he had come to visit from DarkPack.
"What are you doing here?" she snarled.
"Oh. Raven, Raven, Raven." Thunder sighed and padded forward with an evil smirk.
"Yeah, what do you want?" She lashed her tail impatiently.
"Be careful." Thunder warned with a laugh.
"Uh? I know, I'm not dumb, and I'm strong."
"You made the decision to kill me." he pointed out.
"Yeah, so? I would die for Huntress if I have to. I wouldn't let the good be dead and the evil to live on and ruin all wolves."
"I'm in DarkPack, I still have some power." Thunder smiled at himself.
"That won't last long." Raven showed her paws and sharpened her claws. Thunder just rolled his eyes.
"Huntress is carrying my pups." he woofed.
"You're joking." Raven snarled.
"Nope, we decided to have pups before we became official mates, we both had strong puppy love for each other, but my loyalties are with DarkPack now, I have a new mate called Bloodpetal."
"Show me this proof." Raven pressed.
"Whatever you say." Thunder's blue fog filled the scene again, showing a flashback, Huntress had pulled Thunder aside behind the big rock on FrostPack's territory.
"What do you need?" Thunder asked his former mate.
"I'm carrying your pups." Huntress woofed excitedly.
"Good, I'll make sure they grow up strong and ambitious." Thunder nodded to her and left. Raven looked to Huntress's reaction in the flashback, some confusion and sadness clouded her green eyes.

"You didn't even act like you were excited!" Raven snarled after the flashback faded.
"Oh well, I don't care if I'm a father or not, she's the mother, and I don't take responsibility for having them. When our pups are born, she should just kill them. Of course, she won't though. She'll just convince and lie to Swift and all of FrostPack that those pups were her and Swift's. Ever since she got even more annoying, and started loving Swift, I wanted to kill her. But you had saved her tail at the time." Thunder explained with an aggressive growl.
Goldenglow should know what drama his son, Swift, is going to be involved in very soon. Raven kept the thought in her mind.
"What about your so called mate?" she questioned.
"Ah yes." Thunder howled, it sounded throughout the hideout and reached the entrance to DarkPack. Bloodpetal floated down, her fur was dark gray with dried brown colored bloodstains. An ugly flower.
"She's beautiful." Raven barked sarcastically. She got satisfaction from seeing Thunder and Bloodpetal angered as Fenix and Frostcrow laughed.
"I'm going to be carrying Thunder's pups soon!" Bloodpetal spoke with pride.
"Cool." Raven twitched her ears in a non caring way.
"Yeah, well, just be warned Raven." Thunder smirked evilly and floated up to DarkPack while brushing pelts with his mate, together they arrived the entrance of DarkPack.

Raven looked to her cousin and her sister, they nodded in acknowledgment of Raven's senses causing her to visit, she snapped back to where she was walking.
"Raven!" Goldenglow shrieked for the last time.
"Huh?" Raven asked.
"You weren't replying, you've been staying silent, are you okay?" Snowy answered for Goldenglow.
"Yeah, I am okay, thanks for asking, I'm just tired I guess." she lied.
"Should we stop? We've gotten so close to where Fenix is." Snowy nuzzled her shoulder.
"Sure." Raven looked up to see that the sun was setting.
"I found a small den!" Luke hollered, leading his packmates inside.
