Zander called the rest of the pack together for a meeting the next morning. He had a lot he needed to discuss with them. He had set up chairs in the living room and now stood pacing in the middle of the room. He felt like this was going to be his first true test as a pack leader. He needed to make sure that Gretchen's pack knew that they were not going to take this offense lying down. They needed to be prepared to fight back and rescue one of their own.

Chloe entered the living room, her hair still slightly damp and back into a bun as usual. She saw Zander pacing, she remained quiet and let him continue to pace across the living room. Chloe slipped into one of the empty chairs, crossing her legs and she sat down.

Zander continued to pace, just pausing slightly to nod in Chloe's direction. It was at times like this when he knew that Pearl was more of a leader than he would ever be. She always knew the right things to say and do. He hated that it had come to this and that they would have to risk going into Gretchen's camp, but there was no other choice. They just couldn't leave Ashura there with no guarantee that she wouldn't get hurt. He glanced toward the door nervously, hoping Pearl would walk in.

Karl showed up for the meeting and walked over to sit next to Chloe. He glanced over at Zander, who was pacing nervously, then back at Chloe. In a low voice, he whispered, "What's going on? Is this about Dawn? Or Ashura?"

"Well, Ashura, really," said Chloe. "We're trying to decide how we're going to try and get her back. We know that we're probably going tonight and going after Ashura. I don't know how we're going to do it, but I know that probably me, you, Zander, Pearl, and Dean are going."

Karl nodded. "Yeah, we should go after her," he agreed. "We can't let them kidnap members of our pack. Fenrir woulda ripped her throat out for doing something like that. Sure, nobody wants a pack war, but we can't just take something like that."

"I don't really trust that Gretchen woman that much," said Chloe. "I just hope that we can do something about it, and it be effective. I don't like the idea of a pack war either, but what has to be done, has to be done."

Pearl entered the room, noticing Zander's worried pace. She walked toward him, her feet bare and laid a hand on his tense shoulder. She was aware of the situation, the offense of stealing a rightful pack member was a blatant affront to the authority of the other packs' leader. The situation was rather complicated, as it was an eye for an eye in this case. She pushed the feeling of clam toward her mate. "Cool head and strong shoulder Zander." she said simply, smiling vaguely.

Zander stopped in his pacing and slipped his arms around her waist. Kissing her briefly, he whispered, "I feel like this is my first real test as a pack leader. Going against Greyback was one thing... we all knew him and how he operated. But I don't know the first thing about this Gretchen woman."

Pearl nodded. "Greyback is well known and very strong, you know that. Gretchen we can learn about, we stalk, we find weakness where it may be, then we run down our target. We do this, we must do this with strength. To have peace we must always prepare for war." she said nuzzling his neck.

Zander felt himself begin to relax a little. "I know you're right... but I can't help but worry. What if something goes wrong? What if we fail? We have a lot at stake here... They could drive us out of our territory..."

Pearl smiled. " We will manage. Even if we must run to save ourselves, we will repay the trespass in kind. From what I know, We may fail, but we may also win. What we need first is confidence." she said warmly, kissing the shell of Zander's ear.

Zander smiled at her. "You always know just what to say," he said. He kissed her softly. "You give me hope." He glanced around the room and saw that only Karl and Chloe had arrived. "I guess we'll start when the rest of the pack gets here. I really just want to get this over with."

Skye walked into the living room for the meeting. She was also barefoot, and dressed in a long, billowy blue dress that made her appear as if she was floating. As usual, she avoided the chairs that were set up around the room and settled on the floor with her legs carefully tucked beneath her. Then she looked up at Zander and Pearl with concern.

David received his owl from Chloe and headed towards Hogsmeade with haste. As he reached the door, he straighted his shirt and jacket so he wouldn't give a fully rough appearance. David opened the door and when he entered the living room, he noticed that only Chloe, Karl, Zander, Pearl, and Skye were there. He gave a nod to everyone, and giving a warm smile at Skye.

Skye blushed at David's smile, and returned it with a shy smile of her own. She hadn't seen him in a little while, and she wondered what he had been up to all that time.

Skye seemed to have changed slightly since he had last seen her, in a good way, but then again, it could have been that he hadn't seen her in awhile. David finally moved from his space in the doorway and walked over to were Skye sat in the floor. He took a seat beside her. "Hey," he said in a whisper, "what exactly is going on?"

Skye pushed her hair back from her face and leaned closer to him. "Ashura was kidnapped by another pack," she whispered. "I guess Zander is going to tell us what we're doing about it. It looks like there's going to be a new pack war." Her voice was sad. She couldn't understand why everyone couldn't just get along.

Remus had heard there was a pack meeting today, so he quietly walked out to the living room and found the others sitting around, with Zander and Pearl standing in the middle of the room. He frowned. He knew something bad was going on, but he didn't know what. He slipped into a seat and looked around the room at the worried faces.

David sort of frowned. "What has to be done, has to be done. I know that you don't like fighting, and neither does any of us really, but if that's the only way we can take back one of our pack members, that's just the way it has to be. We have to protect each other, at all costs."
