Heron Lake Plateau Let's give this bad boy a test run.

Same guidelines: "I plan to start the next round in 3-4 days. Post order's open. :)"

Towhee didn't realize she was bluffing until her brother called her on it. Somehow, she simply hadn't expected him to be so foolhardy and obstinate; it honestly hadn't occurred to her that he and his friends might actually stand their ground despite the overwhelming odds. And before she could process the situation fully, Quixote inserted himself right in the middle of it. The young Alpha blinked but did not otherwise react, her orange eyes naturally zeroing in on his lips as he spoke.

He corroborated her threat, or at least that's how Towhee interpreted it. She shot a venomous look at Screech. "Listen to him," she snapped. "Don't be a mor—" Before she could get out the rest of the words, the scene seemed to explode around her. Clover and Fiadh made a rush on Screech reminiscent of the velociraptors in Jurassic Park, then Raven attempted to fling herself in between, and then one of Screech's henchman tossed himself into the mix too.

Every one of the mercenary's instincts told her to leap into the fray too, to defend both her younger and older sisters. But she found herself twisting her neck around to check on the pups, still safely tucked behind Elwood, Finley and Eljay toward the rear of the group. That was a relief, though as soon as Towhee faced the melee right beneath her own nose, a bellow was ripping its way up and out of her throat.

"THERE ARE BABIES HERE, YOU ASSHATS!" But they probably wouldn't hear her, or heed her (honestly hypocritical) words. Despite her threat just seconds ago, Towhee decided the best thing she could do was just try to chase away Screech and co. after all. "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET THE FUCK OUT!" she thundered, channeling her little sisters' Jurassic Park vibe by going full on pachycephalosaurus in the general direction of Screech and Redshank.
