Night Lark picked out a scrawny rabbit from the meager fresh-kill pile and began to eat. Sharp Feather bounded up to her side as she let out a howl of pain. ``What's wr---``Night Lark had only taken a bite of the rabbit, and Sharp Feather realized that there were small flies covering it's pelt.

Sharp Feather bit back tears and buried her muzzle in her mate's fur. ``I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry...``

Night Lark glanced up and dug her claws in the earth to hold herself steady. ``There's no need to apologize...`` her voice was barely more than a whisper. ``It's not your fault... I'll... I'll miss you, Sharp Feather... but... I promise... I'll watch over you...``

Sharp Feather was too shaken to reply. Night Lark's eyes began to grow cold and dull, and Sharp Feather let her lay on the ground.

Swooping Owl padded over silently. Sharp Feather whipped around. ``Where is Willow Step?`` she demanded.``She's out gathering herbs...`` Sharp Feather sighed. ``She's not to blame, and you know that, Sharp Feather...````Just... leave me alone...`` Swooping Owl dipped his head respectfully and backed away. Sharp Feather glanced up as Ice Fern, Slate Bird, Slow River, and Rabbit Wind came back from a hunting patrol, jaws filled with fresh-kill. She stood back up and walked over to them.``Go through those and see if they have any fleas. If they do, throw them out of the den. We'll make a rotten pile, to be sure no-one else gets sick.`` Ice Fern cocked her head.``No-one else?`` she repeated. Sharp Feather shuffled to the side, and the patrol gasped as they saw Night Lark lying stiffly beside the fresh-kill pile. Sharp Feather sighed. ``Well? What are you waiting for? And check the fresh-kill pile, too.`` the patrol obeyed and began shifting through the prey.

Willow Step slipped into the den and dipped her head in shame. ``I heard what happened,`` she murmured. ``I should've been there. I'm the worst healer ever.`` Sharp Feather flicked her tail against her said.``Don't say that. It's not your fault. It could've happened to anyone.``

Swooping Owl, who was sitting on guard near the den, spotted Jaggy. ``Hey!`` he called, bounding over to her. ``Who are you?``

``J-Jaggy....M-m-my name is J-jaggy.``

Sharp Feather noticed Swooping Owl and Jaggy and trotted towards them.``Leave the she-wolf alone. You have a duty to do, Swooping Owl. Go speak with Slate Bird for arrangements. It's time I gave you some actual positions.`` she turned to Jaggy as Swooping Owl nodded and bounded over to Slate Bird near the fresh-kill pile.``Do you wish to join my Pack?`` she asked, deciding it was better to be straight-forward.

``I-I Do wish yo join your pack...``

``Okay, then. You'll have to prove yourself, though. Do you want to be a hunter or a guard?``

``Hunter....``

``Okay, then.`` Sharp Feather glanced over her shoulder and called for Rabbit Wind. He bounded up to her.``Yes, Sharp Feather?````This wolf wishes to join Night Pack. Assess her.````Yes, Sharp Feather.`` Rabbit Wind dipped his head respectfully and stepped up to Jaggy.``Pick a place to hunt among the moors. I will be watching you to see how well you accomplish your task.``

Rabbit Wind reported Jaggy's assessment to Sharp Feather, who was helping the hunters sort out the fresh-kill. She nodded and replied something that Jaggy could not hear. Rabbit Wind nodded and bounded up to Jaggy.``She wants to meet you behind the Shade Tree.`` he jerked his head toward a large, towering tree that guarded Night Lark's old den, where she had called Pack meetings on the topmost branch.
