"I know you're right," Skye replied with a sigh. "But I wish it didn't have to be this way. When we fight, it just seems like we're proving what humans say about us to be true. I hate the violence so much... "

David put a hand gently on Skye's shoulder. "It'll be alright," he said. "Even the humans get violate. Sometimes, they're worse than what they say about us, but that's not all of them, just a few. Maybe it won't turn out to be a pack war, who knows."

"I hope not," Skye said. "When I was in Fenrir's pack, we had a pack war once with someone who had been friends with Fenrir a long time ago. Our pack was so much bigger than theirs, and Fenrir didn't fight fair. He would isolate pack members and corner them, then kill them. Then he attacked the few that were left and just slaughtered them all, leaving only the pack leader alive. He had no choice but to join us and be subordinate to Fenrir." She sighed again. "I knew of his cruelty then, but like many of us, I was too afraid to do anything about it. And now, even in Zander's pack, we have enough to worry about already with the possibility that Fenrir will try to fight back after what we did to his attack on Diagon Alley. But now, we have to worry about this Gretchen woman? It isn't fair. Why can't we just live in peace?"

Dean walked into the living room, where Chloe had mentioned there would be a meeting. It was his first pack meeting since he had joined the pack, and he wondered what it would be about. Sitting down, he glanced around the room. Chloe was sitting next to a shaggy-haired man with blond hair, and he felt a stab of jealousy. Frowning to himself, he turned away to look at the rest of the people in the room. Zander and Pearl were in the middle of the room, hugging and talking in soft voices. It was enough to make a guy feel sick. He spotted Remus sitting in a chair, shrinking up to make himself appear very small. And a pretty brunette was talking to another guy with dark hair. Was this it? Was this the whole pack? Somehow, he was not impressed.

"I remember," said David, "of course no one would say anything to Fenrir, because we knew that he would possibly kill us, with no questions asked." He gave a small frown. "I don't know why we can't. I couldn't began to tell you why, because I wouldn't know where to start. Just know that we're trying to keep each other safe here, and now, with Zander, he's nothing like Fenrir was, alright? I promise we're going to go through nothing like we did then." David glanced up when someone walked into the room. He never saw the kid in his life and raised an eyebrow. He leaned down to Skye's ear. "Who's the new kid," he whispered.

Skye looked past him to where Dean was sitting. She hadn't actually met the new pup yet, but she had heard about him. "He's Zander's new pup. He just turned him this past moon... it was an accident. I think he is called Dean."

"Hmm," said David. "Something about him smells funny, and I don't think I really like him very much," he whispered. "But, I will be nice to him, just because he's in the pack, and I don't need any trouble within the pack. I will be on my best behavior." He gave Skye a grin. "I promise."

Skye nodded. She had also noticed the strange, bitter scent about the new pup, but hadn't wanted to say anything about it. "I agree," she whispered. "We can only hope that with Zander and Pearl to guide him, that he will be able to fit in with time."

"You and me both sweetheart," said David glancing at the new pup again. "I just hope he doesn't get the thought that he can do anything in his head." He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. "You know, out of the whole pack, I think I missed you most, but let's that keep that between use shall we? What else has changed since I've been gone? Anything else?"

Pearl surveyed their pack. She hadn't heard anything from the pack members she had sent on Greyback's pack. The split hadn't been entered her mind since it happened, she had been preoccupied on keeping her pack whole and hale. She stood next to Zander and then decided to sit down on the floor cross-legged.

Skye shook her head at David. "Not much, really. But you did know about Chloe and Karl, right? They are becoming mates." She blushed slightly as she said the words.

"Well, I'll be," said David glancing over at Karl and Chloe with a smile. "I knew she liked him, awhile back, but she wouldn't do anything about it. I have to say that I'm proud of 'em." He looked at Skye and noticed her blushing, and he smiled again. "Anything changed with you?"

Skye shrugged. "No, not so much. I'm really the same as always. How have you been? Where were you?"

"Been alright I reckon. I've just been, places. Nowhere special," said David with a slight shrug. "I needed to think about somethings on my own, get them cleared up in my head. Oh! That reminds me. While I was out, I found this necklace and it reminded me of you. I decided to get it for you." He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out the small box containing the necklace. "It's nothing special, but I thought you'd like it."

Skye's eyes widened. "Really? For me? It's so pretty... but David, you shouldn't have." She blushed again and found that she couldn't quite meet his eyes.

David nodded and smiled. "Yes, for you. Well, I did anyway, since I figured you would like it," he replied. "I thought it would suit you. Here, let me help you." He reached over and carefully removed the necklace from it's box. He then leaned back a bit and moved Skye's hair over to one shoulder. After carefully putting the necklace around her neck and clasping it, he moved her hair back into place, and smiled. "There you go."

Skye smiled shyly and put her hand on the necklace. "Thank you, David. It's so pretty." She was surprised to see that he had thought about her. She wasn't used to anyone noticing her at all. She made a mental note to talk to Pearl about it later.

David smiled again. "No problem." He grew quiet and looked around the room again. "So Karl finally decided to start bathing and clean up a bit?"

Skye giggled. "Yes, he did it for Chloe," she whispered back. "He even let me mend his clothes for him, so he wasn't walking around in rags."

David gave his own laugh. "Well, that's good. At least he looks a bit more presentable now," he said. "She sent me an owl when I was on my way here asking where I was and when I'd be back. I didn't bother to answer it since I has just about here anyway. I'm glad to know that you and everyone else has been doing well." David gave a stiff stretch and shook his head. "You know Skye, I don't see how you can just sit on the floor for awhile without getting stiff. I think my foot has gone to sleep."
