Sneaking through marshes [PRIVATE]

[Deleted]

[Red]

Waterfall padded along the peaty terrain of Falcon's Talon, eyeing the bushes warily for any red-pelted wolves. Fortunately, there were none. The compact black she-wolf was here alone, sneaking to steal back the prey that some betas had stolen from Midnight Shadow's territory. The newly-made borders and territories unnerved the she-wolf, and she was constantly looking around for any other wolves that would attack her. As Waterfall padded along more confidently, she heard a rustle in the bushes in front of her. Baring teeth, the small and compact Waterfall slithered through the bush, and, who would be better to be there, than Red, Falcon's Talon's alpha female herself. Growling, she leaped forward and landed on Red's back, unsheathing her claws and digging them in to keep her balance.

(Whoa, easy)
Red was patrolling her land, sniffing at the ground for any signs of prey when a black streak flashed at the corner of her eye. A moment later, pain seared in her shoulders and she bucked, attempting to get the strange intruder off. Red twisted her neck and came face to face with a large she-wolf, her fur as black as any night, her claws buried into her shoulder blades. "
"I thought you were more civilized than that, Waterfall!" Red growled. Why was she suddenly attacking her like that? It seemed strange and out of place, especially when Red did nothing to anger Midnight Shadow's leader. "If you would have kindly asked to go in my territory, I would have let you."
(Wolves can't sheathe their claws, so they can't unsheathe them either.)

(Ok~.)

Waterfall hissed down at Red, clawing her back again before jumping off. "Your betas have been stealing prey off our territory!" She spat, circling Falcon's Talon's leader. "I'm here to make things even again." Jumping forwards, she ran past Red's face as a streak of black and bit down on her leg. Hard.

[Red]

Red howled as the Midnight Shadow leader bit down on her leg. She was fed up with this assault. Growling, she whipped around and snapped at Waterfall's throat. "My pack did not steal your prey!"
(This has a complication-how are we going to resolve this. I don't have any betas :<)

(Maybe Waterfall leaves Red with a few scars/injuries, then leaves her there? But Waterfall can't bear to see a wolf in pain, and she helps Red... something like that?)
Letting out a fearsome battle screech, jumping out of the way just in time as the other alpha tried to bite down on her neck. There was still a small scratch there, though. Snarling, Waterfall's deep blue eyes flashed as Red claimed for her pack not to be stealing prey. "There was Falcon Talon's scent everywhere! And the scent of a deer calf and a big rabbit! Blood and scent together, a coincidence? I think not!" White teeth gleaming, Midnight Shadow's leader leaped forward and sliced Red's left ear in one smooth motion, landing back in and attack crouch.

[Red]

(This is getting awkward. Let's end this and do a more PEACEFUL approach, okay? XD)
Red backed away, her ears flat on her head. "Look, my pack my have made a mistake." she barked, "The pups probably escaped and took your prey, or the omegas. Don't worry, I'll punish them."
(I'm reluctent to back down, but this is getting us nowhere. Next time, if you want to do something between packs, message me to see if I agree. This is weird, and the betas aren't even here.)
