▫◦▫◦Sienna looked up at the boy and saw one of the others show up once more. Either they were multiplying, or he had just shifted. Sienna ignored him and kept her focus on the boy that she was suddenly drawn to. "That's a very good idea. This way no claws will accidentally slip into someone elses pelt." Sienna replied as she eyed Annaliesea through the corner of her eye. Carefully, Sienna clenched and unclenched her fists as she looked back at Laurie and at Beta before looking back down at her sister. 'Tension is heavy in the wolf who has not shifted. It's rippling off his pelt... Sienna thought. She took in a deep breath as she thought over her next move.

▫◦▫◦It was then that an almost catlike shine covered her lovely caramel eyes. To her Clan, it would be something of a devious look. The look often took over her eyes when Sienna got an idea. Probably an idea that Anna, Laurie, and Beta wouldn't like. But Allaina always liked her crazy cat eyes. Which normally meant that Sienna would get her way. That normally made people think that Sienna was the Clan's beta. But no, that was Beta. Sienna also just seemed to have a more...demanding presence. Nevertheless, Sienna's eyes glittered with a catlike quality as the idea wormed its way into her mind. 'Yeah, I'm totally gonna get chewed out later.' Sienna thought, a sly smirk on her face. But she really didn't care. She started walking towards the boy, but stopped at the middle point, as to not step on any toes. Sienna raised her hand slightly, ready to shake his if he came forth. "Perhaps we should start with names. Sienna Naomi Tate of the Hopi tribe." she said, a friendly, open smile on her face.

▫◦▫◦On the inside, Sienna could partially hear Anna and Laurie screaming at her. Her friendly smile threatened to turn into a sly smirk, but Sienna didn't let it. She kept up the calm collected look, but with a friendly smile on her face. Sienna grinned fully and looked at Laurie from the corner of her eye. The puma was bound to be pissed. As was Anna. And as was Beta. The only thing that Sienna could do was pray that Beta would not tell her to back down. She didn't want that to happen. She desperatly didn't. This was probably the only chance the girl could have to actually touch the guy who's presence made her feel...attatched.

"You missed the party. Princess theme. She made me wear a crown, and then Emily suggested they all try out her new play makeup on me."

……►The instant Emily had picked her up, Claire stopped crying. It was her auntie's touch that made her stop. Wiping her tears and runny nose on her sleeve, Claire picked up her sippy cup of milk and went to sit down at the kitchen table. "Gwilled Cheese?"She asked once, and then went to go see the sandwiches. She knew not to touch the stove, as people had always said it was hot. But being little, Claire was kind of curious as to see what would happen. Knowing it was not a smart idea, Claire went to sit down at the table again.

……►Leah had come through the door, and Claire ran to hug her legs. "Leah!"She had wanted some more attention, and here it was walking through the door, although Leah might be busy. It didn't matter, as Claire would end up getting some attention anyways. Her arms stayed locked to Leah's legs, trying to start a game of dragging her across the room with her legs. Quil had always hated that game because he was afraid that she would get carpet burn, but it didn't matter. Claire could easily sucker Leah into doing it.

……►After a while, with Claire's short attention span, she got tired of hanging on to Leah, and gave up. It was fun while it lasted, but with an attention span of a three year old, she was bound to get tired. Claire to a sip of her milk and sat down on the couch. "Emwy, I watch cawtoons?" Claire asked, as she turned on the television. She was just pressing buttons on the remote now, so the channels were flipping back and forth to the same channels. When Claire finally found a channel she was interested in, she lay down on the couch and watched the T.V. screen in amusement.

►Beta Nicholas Anderson◄

~~Beta wasn't liking what Sienna was doing at all. He was starting to get more and more angry, after all he was in charge at the moment and Sienna was getting almost out of line. At the same time he didn't want to say anything in fear that the others would turn on him. He looked at Sienna with his fierce yellow eyes and wondered if she was connected to that boy in some way. From the looks of it, Sienna was falling for the young wolf. He shook his head in disbelief and knew he had to get Sienna out of here before things got worse.

~~Beta walked over to Sienna as he watched the wolves not trusting them at all. He wasn't going to let any more members fall under his watch. He shuddered at the thought of the last member of their pack that had died because of his actions. Beta turned his head away from the wolf pack and looked at Sienna then told her "We're leaving now." He looked at Anna and shook his head knowing Anna was mad at him for allowing Sienna to change but it was too late now to change what he allowed to happen.

~~Sienna at first didn't seem to be listening to Beta so he nudged her and commanded her, "Sienna we're leaving, now! Look away from him and let's get going!" Beta agreed with Anna, cats and dogs didn't get along so he wasn't going to let Sienna get any closer to this wolf. He was next to positive if he allowed Sienna to get close to this wolf then Allainna was going to have his neck. Allainna was already mad at him for allowing someone to fall already and he wasn't going to make Allainna more mad at him for this.

~~With the help of Anna they managed to get Sienna to walk away. Beta looked at the wolves then back at his clan. He shook his head knowing it was rude to leave without saying goodbye so he barked at Sienna, "Tell them that we're leaving and we won't go into their territory ever again."

▫◦▫◦Sienna blinked blankly when she heard Beta's voice in her mind. The first time he spoke, she could hardly hear him. Something roared over it, and didn't allow him to hear her. The second time, Sienna blinked, and was somehow shaken out of it. Her hand faltered and fell down to her side. She moved back and continued walking slowly, but against her will. Beta had told her to move. And though Sienna desperatly didn't want to move, she did. Even though she tried digging her heels into the soft earth, but she knew that it wouldn't work out.

▫◦▫◦Sienna blinked slowly and forced her eyes to cast themselves on the ground. Small locks of caramel hair fell into her face as she turned her back and began walking. She walked a little further before forcing herself to stop. Hearing Beta's voice in her head once more, Sienna nodded and turned back to the wolf and the two humans. There was a sort of aching sadness in her chest and it was almost terribly obvious in her eyes, but somehow, Sienna was barely able to hide it. "In any case, we're terribly sorry for trampling in on your territory. We'll be leaving now and we'll never come back. The puma and I apologize for out actions." Sienna said, nodding towards Laurie.

▫◦▫◦Something tugged angrily at Sienna's insides that told her to defy Beta. She wanted to so terribly, but she couldn't. Since Allainna wasn't there, Beta's word was law. It didn't matter about how much hurt and pain Sienna felt on the inside, if Beta said jump, Sienna was forced to say 'How high?'. Quickly untying her hair and going behind a tree, Sienna tore off her shirt and shorts. After folding them up, Sienna tied them to her ankle and shifted back into her mountain lioness form. Her ears were flat against her head in sadness and her tail drooped slightly. Sienna padded back over to Annalisea who was a little bit away from Beta. To put it bluntly, she was hurt.

Jacob ◦ Stone ◦ Black

▬◦Jacob looked at the poor female who had been commanded to leave. She looked terribly hurt, and Jacob knew that if Renesmee was being taken away from him he would fight to get her back. "You people weren't causing any trouble. Come back to the house, and maybe we can resolve some of this problem," Jacob reassured them. It Seth that he cared most about, and Seth was the reason Jacob was agreeing to take them back to the house. He knew that when you imprinted you couldn't stay away from the one you loved, but obviously these people didn't understand that bond.

▬◦Hopefully Leah would be coming soon, as she was part of the pack too, and he didn't know where the hell she was. "Follow me," he said to the big cats. It was all he could do to distract them from leaving. Even though it wasn't much of a distracting motion. Whatever he could say or do to keep them from running back to where ever they were from, it was worth it because of Seth. This girl would make Seth happy, and Jake knew it. A cat and a wolf might be a sight to see, but it was worth it when you imprinted.

▬◦Waiting for the leader of their clan to react, Jake looked at Paul for a minute. He didn't seem that upset or mad that they weren't going to fight, but then again he was in his wolf form. The grey wolf looked huge against these cats, and he knew that if there would have been a fight, Paul would have been thrilled to trample the lionesses and lion. Comparing the mountain cats to Paul's big wolf form was actually kind of funny in his mind, as he looked like one paw to the mouth could have knocked them out. Jacob decided he'd better quit thinking about fighting, so he cleared his mind.

►Beta Nicholas Anderson◄

~~Beta looked at the wolves then back at his clan. He wasn't sure whether or not to agree to go to the house since that was what happened when his sister, Cara was killed because of his decisions. Beta looked at Anna, Laurie, and Sienna. He knew that Sien,na was greatly sad and wanted to stay longer but since he told them to leave she agreed to it. Why were things always so hard to decide upon? Keeping his great friend and clan member, Sienna happy or make sure no one ended up like Cara.

~~Beta knew he was going to hear about this but he didn't want to cause any problems so he told the others, "Alright we'll go for one hour then we're leaving, understood?" He started walking towards the forest to change so he could tell the wolves himself what his decision was. He didn't want to put Sienna in that position again. Once he was behind the trees, he heard one of his clan members come up behind him. He shook his head and told them, "I know this is stupid but telling them no could be the difference between life and death."

~~Once Beta was into his human form with his boxers and pants on, he walked over to where the girls were standing together. Sienna looked happier than she did a moment ago. He looked at the wolves and told them, "Show us the way to this place then." Beta bit his lip and walked towards the wolves sensing some of them were ready to attack at any moment if their leader told them to. Some of the wolves were bigger then them especially compared to the lionesses and if this turned into a fight he knew they would probably end up losing. Beta shook the idea away and watched their leader as he guided them to this place.

▫◦▫◦Sienna blinked again when she heard Beta's thoughts. Her ears perked up immedeatly, and her lioness form's green eyes sparkled with happiness. The lioness padded over to Beta and rubbed her neck against his side. Considering the fact that she was about as large as a small bear, the force might have knocked him over, but Beta was stronger than that. 'Thank you.' she thought gratefully. She padded behind another tree and quickly shifted. SHe pulled on her shirt and shorts and took the leather bit again.

▫◦▫◦Sienna stuck part of the leather bit in her mouth and walked over towards Laurie and Annalisea as she pulled her hair up. Sienna took the leather bit and quickly tied her hair up as tightly as she could. Once finished, Sienna stuck her tongue out at Annalisea. It made her grin to know that she had won this round. Like she normally did. A sly smirk remained on her face as she folded her arms and turned back to Beta. She nodded and began walking. Once she reached the halfway point between the cats and the wolves, Sienna didn't stop, but continued moving.

▫◦▫◦Once on the wolf side, Sienna looked at Beta once more, her eyes soft. He had always been a little more worried than usual when it came to choices like this. Ever since they had lost Cara because of one of Beta's choices, he had always been on his toes. She could tell how much it pained him, and Sienna flicked the back of Beta's neck affectionatly. He was like her older brother. They were all her family, and Sienna didn't fear treating them that way. She didn't like the way Beta's thoughts were headed though. Even if it did come down to a fight, Sienna had no doubt in her mind that they would put up one hell of a fight. The wolves might have been bigger, but the cats were faster and were never scared. It reminded her of that one Taylor Swift song' Change'. And speaking of changing, Sienna didn't like the fact that she was wearing a t-shirt and simple pair of basketball shorts. She was craving the familiar feeling of jeans on her hips and cotton-polyester blend shirts on her shoulders. Sienna sighed, but held back a small laugh at herself. It even amazed herself at how she could bounce from one subject to another so quickly. It was hilarious.

▒▒▒Laurie Cassie Taylor▒▒▒

---♥Laurie snarled when Sienna and Beta began to shift. No! She thought angrily, We can't do this! What if they'll attack? But of course it was to late. The truth was made and Beta was right. Saying yes or no could be a decision between life and death, and going along with what they said would be much better than going against them and causing a battle-maybe a war. Reluctantly, Laurie glared at the dark grey wolf, snapping once and watching him snap back before turning. If they had a fight, she definitely got to kill that one. How annoying he was being was actually hilarious.

---♥Lightly, Laurie padded over behind some bushes and a large tree, before shifting. Unlike the others, she tied to clothes to her wrist instead of her ankles; it put a few more ounces of weight into her punches. It didn't make a huge difference, but it helped a bit. Morphing back, Laurie took her clothes off from around her wrist and slipped them on. A light pair of jean shorts, and a deep green tank top. Putting the top over the shorts helped her camouflage around this area, for color was almost exactly the same as most of the foliage around Washington.

---♥After phasing, Laurie walked around from the bushes, and followed Beta. "We'll do it you're way for now, she said to the one in his human form who Sienna hadn't been staring at. Then she sneered angrily and flicked her head forward, walking just behind Beta and ignoring all of the wolves. Before this, Laurie had thought werewolves only existed in folktales and children's' stories. But she was proven wrong, though she wasn't going to show it; wasn't going to show any of her weaknesses. That way the wolves would be indisposed to start a fight. Then less keen they were on it the better.

▬▬►Paul sounded like a little motor with his nonstop growling, but it lessened a bit when Seth and Jacob began to take control. Within moments, the sound disappeared, when the cats went into their human forms. His clothes had ripped apart when he shifted, which meant he would have to stay in his wolf form. It was pure luck, for now if they tried attacking, he'd be right there ready to throw them down and kill them. Which meant action would still be an option, if the cat clan stupidly chose wrong.

▬▬►Snarling, he started walking side by side with Seth, his whole body-including his tail-rigid with attentiveness. His dark, silvery grey fur swayed in the wind as he trotted along, anxious. Maybe Rachel would be at Emily's. With all his patrolling, he hadn't seen her much lately, and after this, some alone time with her would be like a woman's day at a five star spa. Of course, at this time of day, he was sure Rachel would be at home, and doubted very much he would be seeing much of her anytime soon. Knowing this made his mood even worse, which was very bad for these cats. Everything was just trying his patience today.

▬▬►As they kept walking, it became obvious that these cats probably weren't going to try anything funny. Paul was huge, and one good, strong swipe could probably kill one of them easy. Well then, not being able to phase was just getting better and better.

▬▬►When Sam and Emily's house came into view, Paul quickened his pace, his gait becoming one short of a sprint. More of a heavy jog. It only took seconds for him to reach the house, before he opened the two doors with his nose and slipped in. Rachel's scent was nowhere to be found, though Quil's imprint-Claire-was here, Emily was of course, and Leah stood beside her. Taking an angry breath, he walked into the living room and laid down in front of the couch Claire perched atop, watching the children's cartoons. It looked odd, a wolf the size of a horse sitting in a typical living room, but if you were at the house often enough, you got used to it.

……►Claire sat up as a big grey wolf came into view... Paul. She could tell by the color of his fur that he was a dark grey wolfie, and she had memorized the colors of every one of them. Claire reached a hand out to touch him. His tussled fur was soft and shiny, and she loved it. She wanted to start playing, so Claire got up from the couch and looked up at the huge grey wolf. Paul was way taller than her in wolf and human form. Even when he was just sitting down he was taller. Claire got behind him, ready to jump on his back and yell "Horsy ride! Horsy ride... pwease?". And if that didn't work, she would beg and beg for his attention.

……►Claire pet his head, and then ran her hand down his back. He was a big dog to her, and sometimes even cuddly, but her Quilly was even more cuddly. If Paul was all that was here, she would settle for him. "Pauwie? I have a wide on yor back?" she begged once more. The wolves were so tall that it was so much of a joy to ride on their backs. Her legs didn't even touch the ground, and she had to hold on tight to their fur when she was riding. They were her one personal horses, only there were better than horses... wolfies.

……►Claire sighed and jumped on his back, and sat there. She knew that she wasn't hurting him, for Claire probably only weighed like a pound to the giant wolves. It was funny when you compared a little four year old to a big wolfie. Claire laid on Paul's back, her head hitting the soft fur of his back. She could actually probably fall asleep on the wolf right now... if she were tired. But Claire was too excited to get a horsy ride from Paul to fall asleep.

Jacob ◦ Stone ◦ Black

▬◦Jacob lead the way to Emily's house, hoping he wasn't in trouble for taking strangers there. There really was no choice, though. If wasn't to do it, then Seth would have done something to stop the clan from leaving, Jake had just gotten there first. They were all walking to Emily's house now, and it seemed Paul had already gotten there. Obviously he had been angry, but sooner or later he would get over it. Paul always did. Seth should be lucky that Jacob had volunteered to do this just for him-- and for his imprint.

▬◦Reaching Emily's house, Jacob opened the door, preparing to explain everything to Emily. "I had to invite them in, because there was about to be a fight, and I just invited them to resolve it," Jacob said, leaving out the part about the imprinting. It wasn't important anymore, for they had not actually fought, so it didn't matter. He saw Claire laying on Paul's back, and Leah still standing there. He thought for sure that she would have came, but it was too late now.

▬◦"Well, this is it... take a seat anywhere I guess," Jacob introduced--well not really introducing them to the house. He hadn't had much to say at all to these people, as his decision was based on Seth. Jake wondered where Sam was, and decided not to worry about it. Sam would probably get mad at him when he found out about another pack/clan being in the house, but maybe Seth's imprinting would make up for it... he hoped anyways. After he had figured out that Seth had imprinted he might actually forget the whole dumb decision thing and be happy for Seth.

►Beta Nicholas Anderson◄

~~Beta walked into the house and smiled the best he could even though he really didn't want to be there. He looked at the little girl on the back of one of the wolves and remembered when his other younger sister did that with him and Cara. He shook the memory away trying not to think about those times he once loved having with his younger sisters. Beta looked and noticed there was two other girls standing there. He smiled at them and told them, "Thanks for inviting us. I'm Beta and these are my friends: Sienna, Anna and Laurie."

~~Beta looked at Laurie and Anna knowing they were mad at him, but in the background he could see Sienna smiling and looking at one of the werewolves. Why was she so attached to him? He was a wolf! Either way the best thing he could do at the moment was try to ease tension with the wolves and get the girls out of there as soon as possible before fighting broke out. He looked at the guy who lead them in and asked, "I don't believe we caught your name or anyone else for that matter." Beta wanted for them to respond as he noticed Sienna talking to that boy again, smiling like there was no tomorrow. What had gotten into that girl?

~~Anna was definetly not happy about this because Sienna after all was her little sister. Beta remembered feeling that same way when it was Cara who wanted to talk to that other clan, she had so easily gotten him to listen to her and agreed to let her talk to that clan. Beta should have known otherwise and told her no, which probably could have saved her life. Beta had changed his name from Carl to Beta so he didn't have to be reminded too much of his younger sister. He was never the same after that day but he tried hard to make it better by watching after the girls like they were his younger sisters. Nothing could change the past, he reminded himself once more before he forced the thought way and focused on the current issue at hand.

▫◦▫◦Sienna had known Laurie for as long as she could remember, so it barely even had to click for anyone else when Sienna realized that Laurie was terribly uncomfortable with this. But Laurie was always good at hiding things like that. Sienna trotted a little faster and linked arms with her friend, trying to ease her mind. In a way, that was sort of Sienna's job around the Clan. Be the peacemaker. Keep everybody calm in a way that Allaina and Beta couldn't. Keep the peace until you finally crack and start clawing at the nearest thing with two (and/or four) legs.

▫◦▫◦The entire way there, Sienna had kept her arm linked with Laurie's. She looked at her frien'ds clothes and Sienna rolled her eyes. Boredly, she faintly wondered why her friend would bring jean shorts. 'Maybe I should bring jeans...Nah, too much weight.' Sienna thought before running a hand through her bangs. When they reached the house, Sienna was shocked by the sudden wave of wolf scent. "Damn." she murmured beneath her breath. Maybe the alpha of their pack lived there. Sienna entered the house and her attention was immedeatly drawn to the little girl. Sienna smiled broadly at her. "She's so cute!" she said softly. She saw the other women in the house and gave everyone in the room a warm smile. For some reason, she was comfortable there. In the past, Sienna had absoloutley hated dogs. It was a complete and undenaiable loathing. But somehow here, Sienna was comfortable. "Such a warm enviornment. It's a lot like home...Except with the scent of dog." she muttered as she looked around, still beside Laurie.

▫◦▫◦Sienna yawned softly, and was somehow suddenly craving chocolate. She slowly thought about the delectable edible item. Chocolate. Chocolate. Then Sienna thought about her famous brownies. Her 'Super Duper UUUUUber Mecha Delicioso Heart Failure And Diabetes Inducing Chocolatey Gooey Schmooey Delectable Chocolate Freaking Brownies'. And yes, the name was spelled exactly like that. Sienna grinned as she thought. Sienna's brownies were famous and were terribly amazing. Everyone who had ever tried them had loved them.

▬▬►As a few more of the felines began to flood into the house, Paul began to back away, carefully keeping Claire on his back. He had to protect her with everything he had. She was Quil's imprint, and losing an imprint tore a shapeshifter apart. That couldn't happen to Quil, which meant he had to risk being torn apart for the little one. He snarled once, watching as every single one of the shifters from the cat clan looked at Claire. All had different expressions, but it was still the same result within him: protect her, for Quil and the pack.

▬▬►Blinking and stopping with the noises, he turned to look at Claire. His expression was the kind of expression she got when everybody broke down and gave her what she wanted. It seemed to say, 'fine, I'm done, you can have it.' Well, then she was getting her ride. Slowly, he stood and made sure she was balanced, and poked Emily in the calf before walking towards the back door. A signal that she was taking her outside so that she wouldn't be frightened when Claire had disappeared.

▬▬►Right when he was out the door, he shoved it closed with his back leg and began to slowly walk around the house. He could feel Claire gripping on to his fur as always-she did it every time she got a werewolf ride, meaning the wolf pack including Leah had experienced it. The girl had to do it to keep her balance, for the other option was falling, and Quil definitely wouldn't have that.

▒▒▒Laurie Cassie Taylor▒▒▒

---♥Laurie turned as Sienna linked arms with her, and gave her a ghost of a smile, which only touched the corners of her lips. She knew that Sienna could read her, for she was one of the only ones who could. Laurie's poker face was amazing, but Sienna had known her ever since the youngster was born, when Laurie was a toddler and Sienna nothing but a tiny baby. By now, the girl could break down Laurie's walls and always see what was wrong. When you knew somebody that long, it was hard not to get that ability, whether you like them or not.

---♥When Sienna's gaze turned to a little toddler-funny how the world showed such vivid memories-and she began to speak, Laurie turned also, and grinned. It was a motherly grin really, an expression nobody had ever seen on her, and probably wouldn't see very often in the future. "She is, Laurie admitted, watching the wolf take the child out of the house. "I want children someday. They're just adorable and lovely. Though, so far, Laurie was minus a father. Not only that, but she did want to be of suitable age, and wanted to be sure her child would shift.

---♥When the wolf and little one were out of site, Laurie turned to the woman that were side by side in the kitchen. One was human, and undeniably beautiful, though she had three scars dipping down the side of her face. Even with them though, she was gorgeous. So gorgeous that even with the scars Laurie still slightly envied her. The other smelled of shifter, and looked slightly like her, though you could see a fire in her: an attitude. Blinking once, Laurie looked behind her, then smiled at Sienna. "There's your hottie, six o' clock, and staring at you," she said, then unlinked her arm from Sienna's and walked forward, knowing she would want to talk to the wolf. She couldn't deny her best friend love, even if it was with one of the dirty canines. As Laurie liked to think Sienna would do the same for her.
