Lions took a sip of tea and looked toward Wolfie. She watched as Wolfie looked around the room for whatever had made the noise. Lion sat her cup on the mantle and Slowly started to walk around the room trying not to stir the pups. If they awake they might not hear it again. Lion steped over a moonlit close to Wolfie and whispered. "I hear it. But where is it coming from. The floor? The Wall?" Lion tip toed over to a clear space on the floor and bent down on her knees pressed her ear to the hardwood. Tickety tickety Tick "Over here Wolfie." Lions said as she pointed to the floor. "Listen." The sound Faded and came back many times. Like something was in the floor running back and forth.

"I think its in the floor too Lion. However, it sounds too close to be the basement. Perhaps its in between levels of the house? You know, the beam crawl space?"
Wolfie knealt beside her and placed her hand to the hardwood. "The question remains, what is it?" She shuddered.

Tal was sitting quietly, staring dreamily into the fire. Her pile of pups around her were a small cacophony of soft snores and whimpers and twitches. But she had long ago learned to listen beyond that. As Wolfie began commenting about the sound, she sat up and paid attention. As she listened, she noticed one of her moonlits was not asleep after all.
Tira, the blind wolf, was sitting very still, her head cocked, ears twitching this way and that. She made no move to get up, since she knew the sound of her nails, no matter how softly she padded, would confuse the sound she was listening for. What was that, indeed? Clickity tick, tickity tickity click.... Her head swiveled, following the track of the noise. There were times when the humans didn't seem able to hear it, but she could still... her ears were even better than that of the average wolf, which was already vastly better than human hearing.
Talencia spoke quietly to the two crouched on the floor. "Tira hears it too. It appears she is tracking it better than we are, though." She watched the she-wolf's head turn back and forth, coinciding with the louder sounds that they heard.

Wolfie whispered in response to Tal's comment. "Indeed." She watched as the wolf cocked her head as if contemplating the origin and the location of the sound. How amazing it was for anyone, human or animal to use the rest of their senses at heightened ability when one was lost. It really was one of the benefits of mother nature.

Nykol heard the strange sound as well, nodding to Wolfie in response to her question. "Yes... I'm guessing it doesn't happen often?" She got to her feet, glancing around as if to look for anything unusual.
Severus's ears twitched and he looked around as well. He gave a light whine, obviously confused.

Wolfie watched as more Moonlits picked up the sound. It looked as if there might be a hunt going on for whatever was making it.
THUD! Something crashed beneath her and she let out a startled yelp, her auburn hair falling in whisps over her eyes (**my RL current hair color**)

Moosey walks into the room after hearing the large thud. "Who's making all the racket?! The unstable little ones are trying to get some rest!" She looks around to those that are in the room, trying to discern who made the noise.

Up till now Fenrir has followed the sound with quiet deturmination, until the mysterious thing 'attacked' Wolfie's feet. Without pause, warning or asking if it was all right Fenrir lept into a corner of the room and began tearing into the wood with his claws snarling in a manner that would make even True jump to his feet and motions to move the pups.
"Grab the pups, get them out of here. Whatever it is, we can NOT chance the next generation's fate on it." True Looks to Wolfie, "I know we may have never seen eye to eye, however. If this thing means us harm we must address it now. If it does not, it is sure to be in a sorry shape. Either way it is unwise to have the pups remain here. Bring them into the kitchen..." Looks to Moose, "Or your 'keep' upstairs. Anywhere away from this." True motions once more then takes a flash light (The one Wolfie had put down from Lion's fall) and rushes to clear debris from the growing depression Fenrir is making.
At the approach of True Fenrir stops and the share a a quick glance, almost of if saying We're being brash and rushing into things once again... But can we risk there lives to caution? They both give a shrug and continue their work.

"Everyone! just calm down!" She had noticed that it was no one in here that made the noise, but seeing Fenrir taking apart the floor was her last straw. "Stop this instant! Do you realize that we have lived here, and in the woods for i have no clue how long, including her grandmother and aunt!" She takes a breath. "That thing means us absolutely no harm, otherwise it would have done so already, I'm going downstairs to find out, No hot heads are allowed to follow. It could just be some scared little one that somehow lost its way, and you must be terrifying it!" She glares at True and Fenrir nastily before pivoting and heading to the door to the cellar.

Wolfie Pulled a magazine she had been reading earlier from off the mantlepiece and lightly rolled it up into a wand. With a gentle smack, she tapped Fenrir on the head. It was more of a 'stop it' than a 'bad boy' motion. Enough to mean business and get his attention and not enough to make him whirl on his toes and eat her or something.
"Fenrir, you have a job. I have a list attatched to the fridge with one of those little pieces of magnet...you know, the plain backing kind? Its a yellow piece of stationary. Find it and read whats on it. Its a list of groceries and other simple needs. Make sure you understand what everything is. I know you are not used to living with humans. This will be an adventure." Wolfie offered him a weak smile, knowing that it was going to be complex enough to puzzle him, yet simple enough to keep him from tearing the walls down.
"HPM?" Wolfie turned to her friend. "Can you bring the moonlits who are on the symptomatic list and bring them up to the piano room? I think they do need some rest as you suggested."
Wolfie then turned to Talencia. "Okay, I feel like Im commanding a strange sort of army right now." She placed her right hand ove the back of her neck. No matter how much she attempted to stiffle the hairs standing on end, they were. Bristling everything else in her body. It wasnt that the noise scared her, it was the fact that it bothered the moonlits so much.

Moosey nods in agreement, glad that Wolfie took the commanding role, and wanders off, Jabu in her arms. She wanders off to gather up the poor victims and brings them up to the Piano room quietly.

Fenrir stops and blinks at wolfie then growls at the floor once more. "It's your lives... I don't want to hear your screams if it eats you." Fenrir strolls from the room, followed by True mumbling something about "things getting interesting" and "why are we the ones doing choirs"
**kitchen**

Talencia smiled sympathetically at Wolfie. "But you are good at it! If that's any consolation." Her smile turned wry, and then she grew more serious. "If you like, Tira and I can help you try to track down the source of that sound. I can tell how curious she is about it."
Tira herself had gotten to her feet. Bless her heart, she was senseing through her gift how unsettled Wolfie was feeling. She padded over quietly and leaned against Wolfie's legs, trying to offer her support and comfort. She tipped her head up to smile wolf-fashion in the direction of the woman's face. All is well, that look said. Don't worry so much!
Talencia laughed. "I think she sees this as an adventure. As if her normal life isn't adventure enough!" She tousled the pretty blue wolf's ears fondly. "Let me know what you want me to do, Wolfie, and I'll be happy to oblige."

"Well at least two out of three comments went over well." She laughed and rubbed behind Tira's ears. "You wanna hunt this down?" Wolfie smiled at Tal.
"Do you remember where I put the flashlight after bringing Lion in from the pit thingy?" Wolfie checked the mantle. With all the things on top of it at this point, the flashlight didnt seem to be one of them. "Let see if we can find it first. Im sure we will get use out of it... seems to be one of the handiest objects around here so far."
Wolfie tripped over Autumn on her way out the door, forgetting she was there. The moonlit yipped in suprised and bounded over to Tira and Tal as if to say 'what was that about? Save me!' When her shock was over with, she scanned the room for 'her pups' It seemed as if Wolfie and Lion's brood of them had become her own in a strange sense. She was very motherly Wolfie had noticed. It was one of those things that was hard to ignore.

Yuki walked out of her room slowly and shut the door behind her silently. She was new to the moonlit house and as of now knew no one other than her pup Hakana. Silently, Yuki made her way through the house, towards the common room. That is where she heard voices. Maybe this would be her chance to make some friends.
Yuki stopped in her tracks and Hakana wiggled her nose at the trace of a new scent. They watched as True and his moonlit, Fanrir, walked out of the common room and towards the kitchen. Yuki could not help but stare at the moonlit. 'I've never seen a moonlit like him before.'
Just as she was about to make her way through the door, into the common room, Yuki smashed into Wolfie, causing Hakana to squeal under the pressure and flash her a 'be more careful' type of look. Yuki mouthed the words 'I'm sorry' to her pup and extended a hand to Wolfie. "Do you need some help up miss?"
