Precarious Situation

Macawi didn't know what to think now. Was she really willing to give everything - her friendship with Erika, and her chance at a pack - up just because of one wolf? She shook her head, angry at herself. No! This was not who she was! She was stronger than this! Even if she had to fight Jinx 'til the end, she would, if it meant staying with her best friend, and gaining the protection of the pack. Even if the other members were skeptical, she would show them that she could be more wolf than any of them combined! And, perhaps, she could show them a few coyote tricks...

"Wait," she said, as the black wolf began to turn. "Macawi has changed her mind. She will stay. If she can. Macawi knows she has lowered her chances of joining your pack because of what she said to Jinx, but there must me something she can do to make up for it. She will... She will throw herself at the alpha's paws if she must. She will be beaten if she must. To stay with Erika. Coyotes and Wolves have this in common: family means everything to them. And right now, Erika is the only family Macawi has. So tell Macawi. Please. What must she do?"
