The Sunspire knocking on devil's door

For the second time in this many months Ferdie was left sanding with a mouthful of hide and no wolf to show for it. It had much to show for his strength a the sheer terror of the wolves he sought to bring down. But he also knew with a mouthful of hide missing from Foxs neck she'd need to be tended to.

Quickly he assessed the situation the pup was covered but there were two more wolves running amuck one that was heading for Red and one that was heading for Ame.
Ferdie charged toward Danica meaning to plow into Danica and send her flying, Hoping to catch her off guard since her attention was on Red,

His charge Danica strategically placed himself between her and Red and by proximity Leaf, Ame and Magpie.

Jace THIS ONE Ferdie snarled staring at Danica through the mouthful of Foxs' hide. Send this one back to pass on the message that we have captives! if they come with brute force to attack us the captives will pay. I want Fox and only Fox back here. He didn't say how the captives would pay he was not an evil wolf, though handing some captive's over to Lector made for a pleasing idea.

Ferdie then circled Leaf and did not allow Leaf to leave making moves to cut off any escape route she tried. His stride longer then hers, the terrain more familiar to him, and the loose rocks below his paws he was used to and so didn't slip on them like an inexperienced non-mountain wolf might.
Vienna!! anyone else cover this one! don't let her leave and either destroy the messenger or send her home, if none return the message will be clear enough. He spoke as heartlessly as he could, taking a page from Foxs book, though he had given the option of just running the intruder off, Death was not a necessary defense measure. By saying what he had it gave the younger wolves Summer and Nightingale the opportunity to help out and surround their new captives. Perhaps the 'insane' owl might go after the wolf they wanted gone though Ferdie fleetingly hoped that Aryn would hang back and not get hurt on his behalf.

He hoped that would be enough to send Danica packing, he didn't need the whole swiftcurrent creek pack on his door step. He stared down Leaf, his facial expression stern and unforgiving. His large brutish form made larger by his puffed up chest and raised hackles if he had to make a grab at Leaf he would but she should be able to tell he wasn't trying to hurt her; Unless she forced his paw.
