Everything had fallen apart for the alphis in the last few months. Her daughter had been kidnapped. Her gimpy son had tryed to kill her for a b***h. Tornado had been banished. And Shezaam well she was about as fluffy as her fathers tail when it came to a need to fight or be in the least bit 'evil' about anything. Then her mind rested on Tsunami- probally dead...and considering Alas wasn't rubbing it in her face- definatly not kidnapped. The only one out of her entire litter that had even the least bit of promise was Idogbe. Not only had he become a Seer but he had also inherited Twist's keen mind. And from the looks of it he was the only one.
It made the alpha so mad she even had thoughts of having another litter just so she could try to grasp at perfection again. Problem was- Wazaam just wasn't mean enough. He did have good genes for strength; but the rest of him- she shook her head at the thought. Now Churnebog would have worthy puppies for herself. But he was unobtainable- she then paused at the thought. Well maybe not completly unobtainable. Prehaps she could trick Wazaam into thinking Churnebogs litter was his. Alls it needed was timing- and a good explination that 'green' was a throwback color on her mothers side.
What a wonderful thought that was...Now all she needed was tribute worthy of being pregnant...

For Tsunami herself, the 'dead' child, everything was going fine as far as she could see. While her mother was almost completely a wreck over the mess of the pack she'd made, she was still a valuable allie. And with practically no other siblings to claim dominance over physically, she could slip in under the radar and gain power. Twist needed someone like her, even if she was unaware.
The time alone, away from her parents and pack had made her stronger and wiser to the ways of the world. She no longer needed companionship as she observed some wolves did. Her skills were honed in both surveillance and hunting, and she wasn't stupid either. It was almost as if she had planned her future as a shy and cautious pup, imagine that.
Maybe it was time to pay dear Twist a visit. With velvety paws scaling the sharp rocks near the cliffs, the dark-female scented her way towards the matriarch wolf, making no attempt to hide herself.

Something struck her eye from offside the clifftops. Almost as if it was a cloud of black death it moved with ease towards the evil wolfess below. Strange she had not seen such a pelt since her own daughter; and it had taken only that moment to realise that she wasn't dead and that she was really padding before her.
"Tsunami? Is that you?" She spoke with utter disbelief. "I would have thought you would have went the way of your kidnapped sister Tempeste...or for the slight instant I thought you had died- but apparently you being here have proven both my therories wrong." She chortled slightly at her own realisation.
It was then she noticed the posture and demenor of her dark daughter. Prehaps she was wrong about her son Idogbe being the only one with potential. Prehaps one of her daughters had turned out just like her as well.

It was very likely the young female saw the alphess before Twist herself saw her. As the lithe, almost dancer-like shape twisted her way about the rocks into view, her presence was known. Without the amount of surprise her mother bore, the wolf nodded absentmindedly and sat down only 10 or so feet away.
It wasn't though as if they'd tried hard enough to find her, which perhaps explain her astonishment at her sudden materialization.
"Or perhaps you've gone mad."
A soft smirk coiled across the dark muzzle as she spoke like it was a fine joke itself, or that she seemed to enjoy the musical tinkle of her own, barely-used voice.

She looked at her daughter and raised a lip at the joke. "I've always been mad...it's just a matter of pretending so others don't know- though I would suppect you might have come to this realization since maddness seams to run from both sides of the family tree." Her own sence of humor to combat her daughters 'joke'. Which in reality was more truth then Twist had ever known. Everyone was mad in her pack; even thoughs her bordered her own pack were mad. But it had become an accepted part of her daily life and would prehaps sky rocket her numbers when she had to recurit for the oncomming war.
"Though it is nice to see you haven't died." Her voice seamed to ring out with a sickingly happy tone to it. "And you've grown into SUCH a fine young lady..."

"Shame as half your apples never fall far enough away. . ."
She retorted softly, un-phased by her mother's comment. She knew perfectly well the condition from her observations, it was just a matter of the distance she kept. In madness, barriers that sane wolves kept broke and gave way to possibilities. It took a certain level of crazy to take advantage of that, as well as to use others for it.
The sane were the mad ones, the blind, the damned, the limited.
Tsunami glanced at her mother, attempting to block the curiousity and stiffness in her eyes and posture at her praise. She knew how she had grown, hell, she was the one that had done it. But there was something underlying in her mother's statement that kept her alert.

"Apparently-" She retorted without finishing what she was going to say. She really hadn't had much contact with her daughter before this; so she didn't know what she was really thinking. Though the lighting bolted wolf could tell that it was along her same wave length...not at all Fluffy like her mate Wazaam- or like her daughter Shazaam. It was obvious she had more of a connection to her sons then any of the other puppies she had given birth too.
But Tsunami had potential. It was too bad she didn't send Adolfo to find her instead of her mission to recapture Tempeste. But that was in the past now. Prehaps she could use her daughter as a Beta, she wanted to use Shezaam but she just didn't have the 'evil' that it took- she frankly was so innocent she wondered if she had ever grown from the puppy stage. But even now Twist could see the potential growing from Tsumani. She would be a great second to have...something she always wanted. A daughter she could train to take over the pack if something ever happened to Twist. Though she didn't plan for the worst- if she ever died the pack would go into disaray. She saw it happen before with the pack she was born into and wouldn't repeat the mistake.
"So where have you been hiding? Normally your uncle would be able to sence my children in the shadows....but you disapeared even further then he could look."

The female took her conversation with her mother calmly, almost with a rather bored air to her. Emotions conveyed were those that could cause trouble to her personally, so they were such not shown. She had almost expected Twist to immediately inquire for her help in matter with the pack, to jump up and beg. But of course, she herself knew it would never happen. It wasn't the alpha's nature.
But just in case she did show interest. . . It was obvious her siblings wouldn't be ones to rise to the challenge. Her older brothers, hot-headed and snappy as youth momentarily showed her some potential for possible manipulation, but they took to protecting Shezaam. She let them be, no use in exposing herself to unwanted attention just as a possibility. Idogbe, he unsettled her, Shezaam was too. . . much like their father for her to bare, and Tempeste she hadn't known nor remembered.
At her mother's question an eyebrow raised in a delinquent gesture, as if she obviously expected to be told. A woman had to have her secrets. "Away." She said quietly, voice as calm and controlled as ever.
But she had never been that far, just far enough where she wouldn't be disturbed or found, life on one's own prepared her for the reality that was adulthood.

The anwser was rather veague for what the femme had been expecting- but she was not one to press the issues. Expecially when she was one that held many secrets herself. Most expecially the lynx she held private conversations with about all her evil plans that she wanted to put into motion. Or the blood thirsty need she had to distroy everyone weaker then her.
"I will not press you any further on the matter Tsunami...we all have our demons we like to keep at bay." Her mouth rose into a reasuring smirk as she just nodded her head away. Whatever it was she would probally find out later- all she needed was for Idogbe to simply read her mind once. Then with the information secured she would use that to her own advantage and rule over her daughter.
Though she still did like the idea of having her daughter as a second- either way both would work to her advantage.

At least she hadn't tried to press. Both content and grateful for her mother's understanding the stormy-furred female dipped her head lightly in respect, though most likely it was for the fact that she hadn't badgered her about it rather than for her mother herself.
She still had to keep her head about her. Family ties or not she would not be softened. With that Tsunami seemed to end the issue of her disappearance, turning her head from Twist for a minute to watch the ocean at her back.
It seemed that the two wolves had similar ideas. Either angle she could work, a trusted position of power in the pack, or finding some way to gain it all herself, exploit a weakness in the former alphess and send her and her father reeling downwards so fast they wouldn't know what had happened. Something like pulling the rug from underneath their paws.
The apple never falls far from the tree.

Twist could see her daughters mind working even though she couldn't read between the lines like Idogbe. Glancing she mearly returned a look that told her to 'not try what she was thinking'. Whatever that might be. She would give her daughter all the leway she needed to take over the lower ranks of the pack; but if she even gave the smallest waver of trying to take her position of power- she wouldn't hesitate to dispose of her offspring. It was HER power not her daughters.
And even if they were blood- Twist was never one to let her gaurd down as her daughter was probally thinking, 'the apple never did fall too far from the tree'. And it was clearly obvious that her daughters 'apple' wasn't from Wazaam's side.

One look Twister's way and she feigned innocence, inwardly flinching at her own foolishness. Had she been that simple? How long had she trained her eyes to fool misguided wolves into a free meal ticket for the day, hiding the motives to catch the b*****d the minute he turned his back.
But they were simple things. Obviously this alphess, her mother was not. She'd have to find a way around that. . .
As she sat there, matching her mother's gaze the wolf's mind wandered as to the rest of the litter. At times she had seen them, without their knowing, of course, but never actually observed them for enough of a set time to have brought anything from it. It would not be her downfall, she wouldn't allow it. As she felt her eyes beginning to fade out the wolf turned her head towards the ocean once more, ears flickering forward as she yawned. One sneaking step forward, two back. Per piercing gaze there was a submissive couple, keeping her own back but also keeping neutral with the alpha. Who wouldn't be such for long if she had her way.
