Pearl didn't understand why Dawn could ask the girl Quinn for an explanation. Pearl saw no way out of this without some sort of fight, but Dawn was so frail, If they didn't have to have the pretense of a trade, Pearl would of tried to keep her safe.
"And gets her way." Pearl added to Rochelle's explanation, "But we can't have that now can we?" she asked to the girl Quinn.

Dawn was confused. Kidnapping? Hostages? This didn't sound right. Why would Gretchen do something like that? It wasn't right. To Dawn, Gretchen and Quinn and the others were the only family that she knew. And it came as a shock to her to hear that they would be involved in kidnapping a girl. Her eyes teared up.
"Kidnapping? Quinn... How could you? It's wrong!"
A sudden memory flashed before her eyes, of a girl with long brown hair, tied to a tree, looking weak and sick. What was her name again....? She knew the name... it was so familiar...
She let out a low moan and put her hands on her head, trying very hard to remember.

Rochelle felt even more proud for Dawn starting to speak up, however she became worried when she moaned. She left Sully's side for a moment and went to Dawn. She gently put her hands on Dawn's shoulders. Looking worriedly at her, Rochelle tried to search her face for anything. She knew that Dawn was remembering something, and here as of late she hadn't been blacking out. "Dawn?"

Dawn felt a flash of pain behind her eyes, but, miraculously, she didn't pass out. Instead, the pain faded and she saw clearly. She remembered being in the camp, talking to the girl, giving her food. She told the girl she would go and find her pack, to help her. The girl... her name was Ashura.
"You did kidnap that girl, didn't you?" She accused Quinn. "I remember her. She was tied to a tree and crying. Her name.... she told me her name was Ashura."

Pearl looked to Zander then back to Dawn, She didn't know if this could wait for Quinn to make the first move on her pack, If she waited, she would have the rule of first blow thrown, it would justify ramming her fist into Quinn's face. "We aren't going to negotiate this any more, we go together with or without you."

Quinn pressed her lips together tightly. This wasn't what Gretchen had told her to do. It was just supposed to be the hunter and Rochelle and Dawn. But the look on Dawn's face... accusing and angry... had her confused. And the Alpha female was very intimidating. Quinn knew she couldn't fight them all alone.
"OK, fine," she said shortly. "You can come. But the rest of your pack must stay here."

"Fine!" Pearl barred her teeth at Quinn, she meant business and if this situation did turn into a battle, Pearl would make sure to make her pay for the delay. She knew they would be with her no matter what happened, they would come if they really needed to be with the rest of them.

Quinn sneered at the female pack leader, but didn't say anything else. She didn't like the pack's female alpha, and she didn't trust her. If a battle broke out, the redhaired female would be a formidable opponent.
"Follow me," she said. "Rochelle, walk with Dawn. Make sure she is strong enough to continue. I want the hunter in front with me, and the alpha male and female in the back."

"No, We will walk with the hunter in front with you, You'll forgive the lack of trust." Pearl put one hand on her hip and the other hand on Sully's shoulder. "You aren't going to set the tune until we get to your pack leader." Her eyes were narrowed and she gave a look that could kill.

Quinn snarled at her. She was not used to following orders, even under the best of circumstances. And she certainly didn't like it coming from an opposing pack leader. "Let's go," she hissed fiercely.
She grabbed Sully by the arm and began to walk into the forest, not even caring who was behind her. The sooner this crap was over with, the better.

Pearl snarled and grabbed Quinn by the hair, Pulling her back and away from sully. "You walk in front!" and gave her a harder than needed push past Zander and Sully.
"If you can't listen, Learn to lead, and if you can't do that learn to shut up!" Pearl was tired of Quinn's attitude. How did Gretchen have such an unruly and worthless pup?

Quinn wanted to fight. Urgently. This redhaired wench infuriated her. What right had she to give her orders? The may have been a leader, but she was not Quinn's leader. She didn't have to do as she told her.
But she glanced at Dawn and tried to calm down. Dawn would not appreciate a fight right in front of her. And Gretchen would be angry if they fought and something happened to prevent her revenge.
"Later," she hissed under her breath. It was both a threat and a promise. She began to walk ahead, tension and hatred emanating from her pores.

"I'm very sure." Pearl glowered "Not if I get you later." it was a promise she made to herself when Quinn tried to be dismissive of her and her pack. She wasn't even an alpha but she wanted to make demands on how they were to be, it offended her deepest sensibility.

It deeply disturbed Dawn to see her family acting in this manner. She had never really seen such behavior from them; unknown to her, they hid her from the battles and fighting in the past. Kidnapping? Fighting? It seemed to her that her family was not playing fair against these kind strangers. She would have to talk to Gretchen when they got there.

Sully was very quiet during all of this. He wasn't involved in werewolf protocol or any of this, really. He just wanted to face Gretchen and ensure that his sister would be safe. If he died, then so be it. He just wanted it all over with. The waiting was driving him mad.
He walked alongside Zander and Pearl, his courage and determination growing with each step. Soon, very soon, it would be over. And Ashura would be safe.

Rochelle felt proud of Pearl for standing up to Quinn the way she did. Of course, if pushed come to shove, she would stand up to Quinn. While Rochelle was still in Gretchen's pack, she did what she could to stay away from Quinn. She didn't like her then, and she didn't like her now.
She followed beside Dawn as they continued their walk to Gretchen. Her eyes fell to Sully and she knew that time was winding down. He was going to have to fight Gretchen, but she knew that he would put up a good fight.

Quinn walked stiffly ahead of them all, leading them silently to the camp. She wished Korbel was there with her. They wouldn't have talked to her the way they did if he had been there. As she went, a couple of times, she made the signal call, hoping that Korbel would hear it and return to the camp. She only wished she could have had someone stay behind with the rest of Zander's pack, to make sure they didn't try anything funny.
Finally, she approached the camp. Gretchen was just ahead of her, pacing.
"I'm sorry, boss. The alphas made me bring them along," she said.

Gretchen whipped around and stared at the group of people. She leveled a glare at the alphas, who were standing with the hunter. Although she wasn't pleased they were here, she knew it was standard protocol. Letting out a frustrated breath, she nodded grimly. "Fine. But you stay back there during the fight. This is between me and the hunter."

Pearl narrowed her eyes at the blond "This isn't about you and the hunter, you took part of our pack! " Pearl didn't believe that Zander had a reason to be worried, He worried because he was a kind alpha, but what this woman was trying to do was despicable, she used part of her family to get revenge, just because she had a problem with the former hunter.

Korbel heard Quinn's call as he was about to double back toward camp. She must have ran into them and he took off running back to camp.
Arriving back he looked over the alphas and then Rochelle, Dawn, and the hunter. Korbel stood beside Quinn with a quick smile in her direction. He looked back to the group. Finally, Gretchen would have the chance to have revenge.
