Swiftcurrent Creek nightmares on wax

Cutthroat felt the hackles rise along his spine in uncertainty and defiance as wolves came melting from the shadows until Cutlass and the crew were surrounded by Crossbones’ pack mates - at least this was what Cutthroat, alarmed and full of adrenaline, assumed for they all carried the same scent as her. The girl sprung towards him when Cutlass and Corsair, likely in shock the inky Pirate determined allowed her to slip loose from them. He lingered near Crossbones as she face everyone screaming stop as more appeared causing him to shift his position until he was at her side, eyes frantically flicking between his fellow raiders and Crossbones’ pack-mates none of them allies and every one of them potential enemies - all except for Crossbones whose side he had inherently decided to pick, not agreeing with Cutlass’ and Corsair’s treatment of her, defying their simple system of laws.

This was stupid. It was painfully obvious how idiotic and unthought-of this plan had been. It should have never been attempted and he! he had been stupid enough to go along with it. To agree to it like some green boy eager for glory. Though, admittedly, he had expected Cutlass and Corsair to adhere to their laws and customs which they had not. A russet colored wolf sprang between Bones and them, pushing him back away from the girl’s side with her sudden appearance and death threat, though he did not like his back to any of them, especially not to Cutlass and Corsair who would likely repay him for his insubordination in kind, despite that, now, he was not so sure he wished to go with them, though it looked like the inky teenager would suffer death no matter where he went, now.

But he was feeling bold on his adrenaline rush and spoke to Corsair and Cutlass, “This is not our way. If I’d have known you were going to force her I would have never came,” Of course it was too little, much too late for that now. Eyes the color of melted treasure sought Bones out in the confusion and mess though he dared not go closer to her lest the russet colored female between them make good on her promise.
