Mystic nuzzled her mother in return, sorrow glinting in her eyes. She knew her mother didn't want this. What mother wanted to watch as her pup, grandpups, and great-grandpups were shunned away from their pack? When they were banished, just because of who their father was? She cast one last look at her pack and continued on, staying close to Romeo. Dandre looked at the pack, wondering what was going on. Half-breed. There was that name again. Maybe this really WAS all their fault...
"MALI!" Dart yelled, shoving past her mother to run to him. She was stopped, however, by about five wolves. Malikite, in turn, would be stopped as well. Dartsnow whimpered helplessly, knowing they wouldn't let either of the wolves have the chance to even nuzzle each other goodbye. "Mali, I love you!"
Juliet let out a low growl. All of her friends had just stood by as she and her family were banished. Banished for no reason! "You can come with us if you like, or take your chances with Blackshadow. I honestly have no idea where we're going to go." The packless lands? Where food was scarce? Blackshadow, where they'd be no more welcome? Well. One thing was sure. They couldn't stay here.

Romeo nuzzled Mystic as she came to him and shot one last growl at Donovan. But even the tough once-Blackshadow knew there was no protesting. He started off, stiff-legged, frustrated. Time to find somewhere to go...
Mali was eventually forced to turn away, whimpering frantically, never taking his gaze off Dart. But he would rather this than her being banished too for being with him. He sighed, in pure agony, as he turned his back slowly on her, and slunk off, radiating pure depression.
Hemitite shrugged. "I know a place. It's safe, trust me." He took a deep breath and started off, flicking his tail to their torn group to follow him. This was interesting, he'd give it that. But he wasn't mourning for them. He was just going to find someplace safe for them to stay, that was it.

Juliet barked so her family would know to follow. Songheart looked towards her and nodded once, then looked at Malikite. She waited for him to join them again, whimpering in pity. Then she began to pad after her aunt and her grandfather. She couldn't help wondering where they were going to go. Surely not to Blackshadow! They'd be eaten alive! Or worse! Songheart wondered vaguely about Sol and her aunt Forest. What would they do when they heard Starfrost's 'daughter' and her family had been banished from Greenwood? Would Blackshadow follow suit and banish Forest? Or worse?
Mystic nudged her mate and picked up her pace so she could catch up to the others. Rain pounded against them, soaking herself and her pups. She prayed they wouldn't catch a chill from being cold and wet. That would be adding insult to injury. Or really...injury to insult.

Sunstorm sighed as she watched her family leave, then turned on Donovan. "Who do you think you are? Starfrost trusted you to take care of her!" She snarled, tail high to show dominance over him. "They had innocent pups with them; do you take pride in knowing they'll probably die?" How could Starfrost have trusted this monster?
((So I'm gonna make two more boards here, and once one's done, me or you can start a post with them... wandering or whatnot. xD Then the one board'll become like... their new territory. xD))

"Sunstorm, you can't have had her willingly." Donovan replied calmly. "And you know as well as I that she should have been killed when she was born. When you chose not to, you predestined this. Mystic would have been a fool to not know this day would come eventually. As for the pups...they were half-breeds as well, and they showed it. Both Mystic and Magic took Blackshadow mates. If that's not a sign, I do not know what is." Donovan looked at their retreating forms, nothing but shadows in the rain.
"What's worse, they even harbored Hemitite here! And for what? For protecting the pups?" Donovan snorted.
((Awesome. XD))

"I was seeing Hemitite of my own accord." Her words dripped with acid hatred when she replied. "Yes, I didn't have Mystic willingly, but I was still friends with him before that. Starfrost knew that, and he accepted Mystic as his own. Is it her fault her father was a Blackshadow? And romeo and Sootflare have proven their loyalty over and over again." She narrowed her eyes, hissing her next words. "I would rather have Hemitite's pups than yours."

"No one said you had to, did they Sunstorm?" Donovan asked. "If you wish to follow them, do so. I cannot make you stay. Nor can I make you follow them." Donovan jumped down from his perch and nodded once to Jag before padding off to his den. Dartsnow also ran to her den, whimpering pitifully. Her mother simply rolled her eyes.
"This isn't right." Avalanche murmured to his mate.
"If you want to go out with them and starve, be my guest. But your daughter and I won't be so keen to follow." his mate snorted.

Sunstorm leapt down and let out a snarl at Avanlanche's stubborn mate. "If you don't know what you're talking about, don't speak. Your daughter is more wise than you." She snapped, and as Alpha, had the full right to do so, as she slipped after Dart. The poor pup... barely having known love before it was snatched so creully away. "Dartsnow?" The experianced Alphess whispered, hoping to find the heart-broken pup before he mother did.

Dartsnow lay in her den, a curled up ball of whimpering white fur. She looked at the Alphess, hoping to find some comfort in the elderly she-wolf. "They can't help who their fathers and mothers are, or how they look? Would they have kicked me out if I looked different?" Dartsnow whimpered again. What would become of her Malikite? Would he end up starving to death? Would he be forced to go to Blackshadow? Would she ever see him again? She whimpered again. Probably not. "They'll...they'll all DIE out there! Mystic and Romeo and Sootflare and Magic and Song and the pups...and...and...Mali..." Dartsnow whimpered again.

Sun sighed, nuzzling the piiful young she-wolf. "They'll be fine." She sighed, glancing behind her to check that no one was listening. "...you could try and follow them. I could say I told you to go hunting, to get your mind off of them. Just be back by tonight, and with a lot of prey, or the story won't work." She reccomended, wary of letting this go. But she was so angry at Donovan at the moment, she really couldn't say no tothe chance.

Dartsnow nodded gratefully. She rose to her feet, then paused. It would be suspicious is she went now. But then again...the rain would wash away their scent trail if she didn't leave now, she'd never be able to track them. "I'll find them, Sunstorm. Don't worry."

Sun nodded and stepped from the den, turning to Avalanche and ignoring his mate. "I'm sending Dart for a hunt. Maybe it'll get her mind off things. And the prey will be trying to settle down in the rain - they'll be an easy catch." She sighed, still depressed, and started away. But after a moment she paused and glanced back at him. "...why didn't you say anything?"

Dart slunk off, careful to go in the opposite direction that the banished wolves ahd gone. She'd have to double back and catch the scent trail before the rain washed it away.
Avalanche looked away from Sunstorm and sighed. "I don't know, Sunstorm. I really don't know."
