Natalie took a deep breath and looked toward both her companions one to the right of her one to the left. Natalie had set up rises on both sides of the trampoline for her two companions. In each hand she held a baton. Both of her companions gave her a nod they were ready for her to start her routine.
Bending her knees she leapt from the surface of the trampoline only to land again quickly but leap higher and higher as the process repeated until she thought she was high enough. Natalie signaled to Keid and Beid "Now!!" she called just before starting her practice routine.
Keid and Beid leapt off their respective Risers and leapt straight toward the other narrowly missing each other and landing on the opposite riser then leaping down and beginning the routine Natalie had practiced with them first.
With Baton's in hand she began a series of flips and twists in the air. Flying backward in one spot she did a summersault and pretended to be grabbing her tail as to make the ball tighter. Her ears were pinned to the back of her head as she fell back on to the trampoline to leap and flip again this time foreword with her arms crossed against her chest she spun as a ball and continued to fall this time not breaking her ball to land. She peaked from her ball and noticed she was heading face foreword and stretched out her hands and used them to propel her back into the air.
The two wolves continued dancing around the trampoline in a circle leaping and growling, pretending to fight around and around while above Natalie was flying above. Keid spun in a smaller circle trying to catch her tail while continuing her round about the tramp. Beid met her and Keid snapped from catching her tail to a leaping attack at him. Missing of course as Beid acted back and circled. They pretended to be growling and snarling and then continued their dancing until Natalie called.
"Again!" came her voice and the two wolves leapt back onto their risers. When the wolves were ready they were standing in what seemed to be noble positions for wolves waiting for Natalie to bounce.
Natalie landed on the flat of the trampoline bending her knees then releasing Natalie let go of the batons when she was high enough and let them fall with her as she spun downwards. Keid and Beid leapt once more aiming for the batons and trusting that Natalie would be out of the way. Keid and Beid Successfully snatched the batons in their jaws but Natalie was to slow in her spin that her hand was in the way of his jaws as well. Natalie pulled her hand away and winced in pain landing on her rear on the tramp fabric.
“Owww, shoot.” She muttered sitting on the tramp now that she had stopped bouncing, “I’ll do better next time,” she promised her wolven friends. Natalie was breathing and sweating heavily it wasn't enough she was tired not much but tired enough. Shoot, she needed to build more endurance she would have to go jogging again after this. It wasn’t their fault she got hurt and she was used to getting bitten a lot by mistake. “I’ll be right back I just need to get the first aid kit.”
Keid jumped down from the riser she was standing on and whinnied with her ears down “You sure your ok?” she asked Natalie smiled “Yep right as Rain guys.”
Beid tasted her blood in his mouth and looked at her apologetically. He too jumped from his perch and landed on the ground with a ‘thump’ He was concerned about her wound he had caused. Although he was glad she didn’t think too much of it. “I’m glad you are ok.” He said
Keid scolded him to be more careful. Beid gave a whine in response
Natalie smiled again “I told you I’m fine” she said finding the kit she had nearby just for an emergency like this… even if it wasn’t all that serious. She bandaged her hand and went back to her wolves. “Good job guys!” she gave them both a big hug. “You two did better than I did.” She said trying to cheer them up. “I messed up on a few of my flips too and timing, I’ll do better,” she said then looked back at the tramp and retrieved the batons “Lets to it again!” she said breathing becoming more even.
Her wolves gave simultaneous barks. "Yes!" they said.

" Hold it right there missie, first make certain you didn't bleed on the trampoline the material is temperamental you know and no one wants find dried blood on it either. Secondly you shouldn't be practicing a routine that intense again for a good hour or say. Your flip timing perhaps but not the whole thing."
Marissa Grey leaned against a wall as she spoke to the young trainee. The redheaded performer had been watching the girl and while she felt Natalie had potential she saw a lot of raw unrefinedness in her as well. Plus the sort of reckless eagarness to improve that got someone permanently injured in this line of work.
( sorry suffering short reply syndrome right now)

(Thats ok thanks for replying)
Natalie’s ears stood up in surprise as a voice spoke to her. The wolf girl turned her head in surprise it was an older performer. Not much older but a performer she must have been watching her routine. Natalie's tail flicked back and forth calmly she wanted to continue and make it perfect but the performer was right. And secondly she didn't want to get into any trouble.
She looked toward the trampoline once and gave a nod. "Ok, I won’t practice my routine for a while until I get my timing right." she promised enthusiastically with a wide smile. She would make sure the routine became perfect. It just may take a bit longer than she had hoped. She wanted to make people notice her and her abilities.
"Thank you very much for looking out for me," she gave a slight bow to the performer "I’m Natalie Ackart," she introduced herself "And these are my comrade's Keid and Beid."
The two wolves gave a nod as they were each introduced.
She had nearly forgotten to check the trampoline she scrambled up onto the tramp and looked around for any sign of blood that had been left. There was some in the center of the trampoline. Shoot! She leapt off the tramp and ran to get some cleaning supplies.
"I'll be right back!" she said running past Marissa Grey. She returned with a bucket of lukewarm water, liquid soap, a sponge and towels. As she intended to use the trampoline right afterward.

Marrissa watched as Natalie returned. " It's no problem we're all family on the stage and we need to watch out for each other." Which wasn't to say that there wasn't infighting and rivalries but that for to good of the stage they were set aside when it was important.
The young womans eye's flicked to the two wolves, they did have beautiful coats and would make quite an astounding view for the audience. They seemed to be perfectly healthy and extremely well groomed. The young wolf girl was obviously taking the best care of them she could. Now all she needed to do was learn to take care of herself as well.
" So a side from this routine what else have you been working on lately." Marissa had been a bit busy the last few weeks and wasn't fully caught up on what most of the trainees were up to.

Putting the liquid soap into the lukewarm water and soaking the cloth Natalie walked onto the trampoline with the wet cloth and began soaking the areas were the blood had landed during her routine. Natalie smiled it was true everyone here looked out for everyone else just like a family. She didn't really have a family her parents were always busy and her only family were the two wolves she practiced with and she made sure they were well taken care of. The wolf girl gave a sharp nod and smiled again "Thank you." she said again to Marrissa she paused "Oh I still don't know your name!"
Keid and Beid laid down together and watched Natalie scrub and dab the trampoline until the scent of blood was diluted with the scent of soapy water and the mark was gone. Keid stretched and Beid sat comfortably and yawned.
"I've been working pretty much alone with Keid and Beid as I really don't have to many friends yet, I've come up with a few ideas with batons, fire, the trampoline but that’s about it." she told performer.
