Auden was about to acknowledge Chaos when Kahili bounded up, saying that Aura had left again. The jaguar spit the bitter tasting herbs out, "What??" He growled and paced, shaking his head. "Maybe she'll be back. Let's just get healed up first, and if she isn't back by then we'll start looking." His ears flicked as he remembered the cheetah say that she had let Aura leave. "Or maybe...I will..."

-Kahili sat down and looked over at Chaos, who was shifting around uncomfortably. Her gaze fell on the pacing Auden.- "She won't come back. You think after we were attacked and she was drug away she would have more sense to stay in a group."
-Chaos nodded.- "That means if you don't come with me and Auden, you wouldn't have any sense." -He looked over at Auden.- "We better go now. The longer we wait, the farther away she'll be."

Auden sighed and nodded, agreeing with Kahili's comment. Why would Aura stray from the group after all that's happened? The question scared the jaguar a bit, maybe she was lured away, even kidnapped, since she has been with so many shady characters... Could Sandai be planning something? Auden snatched a mouthful of herbs up and started munching, "Let's get moving, then." He padded away, trying to smell Aura's scent over the bitter smell of herbs.

-Kahili pushed the rest of the herbs to Chaos. The cheetah took a small bite before padding up beside Auden.- "She went this way." -She pointed with her paw towards the way she had come from.-
-Chaos gulped down the herbs and padded towards the two felines. His massive paws pounded the Earth and sent little dust clouds from the ground.- "Here goes another long journey." -He mumbled.-

The optimistic warmth returned into Auden's yellow-green eyes as he swallowed the last bit of putrid herbs. The pain from the wounds that oozed blood had melted away. He turned to Chaos and smiled, "Life is a journey itself."

Kali's crimson eyes glanced over at Aura before flicking to the front of her. Aura missed her friends, though she had a feeling, she wasn't sure what it was but it caused her to stay with Kali. Kali trotted along with Aura beside her when two male wolves walked up to stand on each side of Aura, they closed in trotting right next to her blocking her in. `Hey!` Aura said. `What's going on` `Oh hush up stupid cat` Kali said. Aura's eyes widened as they exited the forest and walked into a large pack of wolves.

-Chaos nodded.- "Indeed it is." -He raised his head to look at the sky.- "Indeed it is." -He repeated in a sigh. The mountain lion flicked an ear.- "I can't help thinking about that wolf. She said that Kahili was supposed to die. But if they were there to protect us, why didn't they send another to help protect Kahili?" -Chaos sighed and shook his head.- "This makes no sense."
-Kahili padded up to the two and sat down. Though she head Chaos's words loud and clear, the feline ignored them and instead butted in.- "Well are we just going to mope around all day or try to get to the bottom of this?"

Wolves glared at the feline as she was led into a large den. The dirt walls crumbled slightly around her as they entered a large room. "I got her" `Kali spoke. A large black wolf, larger then any feline or wolf she had ever seen turned to face the animals. `Ah, and Sandai?` "Good as gone" Kali spoke. "Good, so no competition."The wolf spoke. Aura's ears fell "What is going on?!"

-Chaos sighed and stood up.- "Show us the way." -He chuffed and gripped the earth with sharp claws.-
"Right." -Kahili chirped and padded forward, flicking her tail in the two feline's faces. She smirked and pointed over her head with her tail.- "This way."

Auden bounded in that direction, keeping a fast pace despite travelling with the fastest cheetah he had ever met. The jaguar covered a large area of grassy ground before stopping to see where he was. He looked at Kahili, ears perked, "They're close."

-Kahili bounded along easily beside him, often casting a glance back at the cougar, who was a bit behind.- "You'll get in shape soon enough." -She whispered and swiveled her ears, letting the wind blow any sound it carried in them.- "I hear pawsteps and whispers that way." -She tossed her tail towards the southeast part of the forest.-
-Chaos closed in on the two with heavy gasps for breath.- "I'm just not used to so much running." -He huffed and sniffed the air.- "There's more than just Aura."

Auden sniffed the ground, eagerly following Aura's scent. He quickly caught Kali's, and fury exploded within him. "The d*mn wolf got her! " He started running after the scent, the smell of a whole pack of wolves wafting into his nose. The jaguar skidded to a stop near some thick brush. He peered out into the den-site with apprehensive green eyes.

The metal cling of the door echoed in the cave as the metal cage, half sticking out of the wall, was shut. Aura sat inside, her head down as Kali spoke. "You think you would know better" She said but stopped and sniffed the air. "Stupid rats" she said turning around and exiting the cave.

-Kahili looked over at Auden and Chaos.- "Didn't I tell you? I knew we should not have trusted that mutt." -She whispered in a low growl. Her ears swiveled around at the squeaking of the door.- "You two go get her. I'll distract them. Go when I give the signal." -She lowered behind a bush and flicked an ear.-
-Chaos nodded.- "I knew something was wrong." -He looked at Kahili and shook his head.- "You'll get caught. We can't risk it. We'll have a better chance at-." -He paused and looked at Auden.- "What do you think?"

Aura sat quietly, the scent of her friends filling her nose. "Help.." she mumbled. She missed them, and knew she deserved whatever they would say to her.

Auden sighed. his flickering back and forth between his two companions. "She can provide a distraction," He decided, "And we can watch from the shadows where they take their prisoners. Chaos and I can devise a plan to get both of you out." The jaguar fixed his eyes on Kahili, "Act like you've never met Aura in your life. If they know you two know eachother, they'll get suspicious. I'm not leaving anyone behind."

"Right." -Kahili flicked her tail and wandered back the way she had led the two. She stalked silently around the site and once on the opposite side of her friends, she flicked an ear and burst out. She panted heavily as if she were being chased.- "Help!" -She yowled.-
"Be careful." -Chaos whispered after her, careful to not let the wolves hear. The cougar watched as Kahili stalked back, quite confused, but once she had circled around, he caught on. He smiled a bit at the convincing yowl for help.-

"What's wrong!?" One male wolf asked stopping Kahili in her tracks. "Did someone hurt you?" He asked. "stop" the voice seemed to hiss. It was Kali and she stepped out of the shadows her eyes narrowed. "Kahili, nice to see you again" she said. Out of no where two males boxed Kahili in, and glared at her. "Why have you come here?" she asked angrily.

"Kali, they left me. Now it's after me. I thought Chaos went back to the zoo, so I went and now it's after me." -The cheetah panted and looked behind her as if checking to see if it was there. Her gaze fell back on the she-wolf and she spoke in a stressed voice.- "Please help me!"

"What's after you?" she she-wolf asked quite calm. "Sandai is dead, and all his minions are too, so what is this "it" you speak of" she asked raising a curious eyebrow

"This is far worse than any of those." -Kahili narrowed her eyes and made her legs tremble.- "It's humans. And they have guns."

Kali raised an eyebrow, a tint of worry in her eyes. She lifted her nose in the air and sniffed. "I smell nothing,...but bring her to the guest caves in case" she said. Kali turned and walked towards the cave holding Aura as the two males led Kahili towards the guest cave.

-Kahili scolded herself in her mind, one, for not thinking about the scent, and two, for not luring the wolves away. It took her no time to come up with the perfect excuses for both.- "I out-ran it. But I heard 'dogs' and it turned away. It's bringing dogs! I'm not staying and getting mauled!" -She yowled and pulled away from the males.-

"The leave" Kali said glaring at the she-wolf. "Run somewhere else" she dared. Her eyes narrowed and angry.

Auden raked the ground with his claws, eyes scanning the situation and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. He glanced sidelong at Chaos before darting out, swiftly and silently gliding over the ground with his paws not making a sound. The jaguar risked a glance at the pack, who were currently gathering suspiciously and curiously around Kahili. Perfect, He thought to himself, running into the guest cave, his eyes lightening when he saw Aura.
"Then leave," He heard Kali's hissing voice, "Run somewhere else." Auden's ears flicked in alarm, he expected there to be more time than this. Hopefully Kahili would notice them leaving and take the chance to escape. Auden stared curiously the contraption that was trapping Aura, he identified it as a cage. Oddly enough, it was out in the wilderness and half embedded in the cave dirt. He decided that the wolves wouldn't be able to lock it, and if Aura hadn't tried escape it must only be accesible from the outside. The jaguar clamped his jaws around one metal ar and pulled it open. It made a low, screeching sound that made him wince. He locked eyes with Aura as a plead for silence as they escaped. The jaguar made sure the coast was clear before slipping out, the journey from the cave to the secrecy of the brush seeming to take forever. He stopped at the bushes and waited for Aura to go through first.
