Richter took a step back, pretending he was taken aback. "I would never lie!" he barked. "Would I be here warning you if I weren't on your side?" he asked. He still tried to look scared and shaken. So far, he thought the act was believable. He had fooled Moses. The Great Dane stepped forward. "I don't see why that good-for-nothing leader wouldn't think something like that. He is full of himself after all."

Arina came back to their camp with five freshly caught bats. She put them into a pile and went back. The bats weren't filling, but they would do.They didn't smell too bad either. She wondered If Richter's act was beleivable, and if the Fang had accepted him yet. She willed him not to get caught. But she herself still didn't trust him.
The leader mate stepped forwards her eyes sharp. "You lie, yet for something. Someone? You carry the scent of outsiders on your pelt, so I suggest you reveal your true plans. For we have no interest in liars."
Richter wanted to scream at the dog, but kept his head down. "I have joined a group of outsiders recently that want my pack to die," he said, making his tone sound believable. He stepped forward. "I do not lie," he said firmly. Moses stood, poised to strike at any second.

The mates voice was sharp. "Moses no!" She gave Ricter a steely gaze. "I ask again, speak the truth. Your pelt is covered in fresh scratches now tell." Her voice was not angry yet cold. She wanted the truth.
Arina had caught one mouse, though scrawnyit would do. SHe had a sudden dread sweep through her. Had Richter been caught? She walked through the woods and saw the City's out line. SHe might have to back him up. She tunred to a tree. SHe knew just how to make it look like claw and fang had scored hits to her. SHe saw soem blood on the ground, but knew that wouldn't work. It would have to be her blood. She walked back to camp, seeing Dakota. "Dakota, I need you to do something." she said.
Apollo could tell that Arina was up to something. He could feel that it was about Richter. He stood and padded over to her. "If anyone goes after Richter, it's me. Now rest," he said. He was tired of not being told about plans and the others not letting him do his job.

Arina turned to him. "I have this feeling all is not going as planned." Arina said. "He may not have convinced them." she said. She knew she should've told him, but then again he still would have gone by himself. "We need someone to look like they had just been attacked, and unfortunatly they need their own blood on their pelt to make it convincing." she said.
Richter sighed. "I met a pack of dogs. Some of their pups were taken as prisoners. They want to get them back, but the leader said that they have to choose between one of their pups or the leader's mate that they managed to save. They need them both," he said. "And we need you to turn against that blood brained hound."
Apollo growled. "It'll be fine, now calm down. Maybe they do believe him. Don't worry about it," he ordered. He walked back into his den, watching Arina closely. He wasn't letting anyone leave.
