Noctisardor Bypass a is for amy who fell down the stairs

Tagging family for reference, but there's no one around to stop Isra!

There comes no answer, not at first. @Anselm and Amadeo were too wrapped up in their conflict to hear the yelling of Gideon; right that instant his father was smashed into the trunk of a tree and Amadeo was gathering him up to carry him away. @Heda was too distant, dancing about with the butterflies and her returned sister and heedless of the jaws closing in on Rivenwood. At the borders, an unknown aunt awaited an audience, but there were none here to answer save @Ezra, who just then was rolling in the grass to dry his sodden pelt. The other puppies, reticent as they were, were nowhere to be seen.

Gideon was utterly alone at the rendezvous, and then he was not. He whirled around at the sound of breathy laughter, and only had time to answer, who— before the strange black-and-white wolf lunged for him.

The sound that ripped out of him was something between a shocked squeal and a growl. He snapped fearsomely at Isra as she approached, but she had the element of surprise. Gideon was too slow and unprepared to prevent her grabbing the back of his neck and securing a firm hold. Let go of me! he yelled, kicking and struggling with all his might. He was nearing a size that would make carrying him very far difficult, yet he was far from immovable. Should her will be greater than his weight, then he was powerless to stop her himself and any back-up he managed to attract would be too late.

He was spirited away for questioning, struggling all the while.
