New Beginnings

-josh sighs holding his wrists out to her- "we best put on a good show..." -he then whispers to her- "what about my parents... i would guess they are what lead them back"

-the man drops the rifle leting the strap catch it to be hanging from his shoulders as he quickly draws a dart gun arming it- "BACK UP!"

"I might need them. depends how this goes" -Scarlet smirking as she fastens rope around his wrists-

-Okami eyeing them with a grin as she snaps her jaws and moves forward-

-josh watches as she ties his wrists- "you using the gloves too? they are a set you know"

-kevin moves over putting a hand on scarlet's shoulder- "what the hell are you doing?"

-the leader fires a dart only just missing her paw loading the next one quickly before returning his aim onto her- "BACK!" -the other two aim their very real and loaded rifles at okami and kira-

-Scarlet rolling her eyes with a smirk she puts her gloves on and looks at Kevin, shrugging her shoulder away from his hand- "This is the way we got those men from chasing Josh. But because you are here they think it is odd. So I need to show them yet again that Josh is mine"

-josh chuckles as he watches pulling against the rope to make sure it is tight- "you tying me up for real or something?"

-kevin narrows his eyes slightly- "so just untie him and tell them that!"

"Be quiet Kevin before I have my wolf pin you down. so i suggest you shut up" -Scarlet narrowing her eyes at Kevin she grips the rope around Josh's wrists she takes her knife out and then pulls him outside and gently knees him in the back of his legs so he is kneeling- "Hello gentleman. care to explain why you are in my village again?"

-josh grunts as he is put to his knees lowering his head as he mutters- "let me go..."

-the three men look at scarlet then to josh as the leader speaks up- "call back your dogs before i dart them!"

"Put your dart guns away and guns down before I have the rest of the pack out here to rip your throats out" -Scarlet narrowing her eyes as she holds her gun to Josh- "One howl from the big girl infront of me, every Hybrid and wolf of the pack will be here"

-the leader nods as all three lower their weapons as they look at her gùn at josh's head- "how... how do we know that is him?" 

-josh keeps his head down remaining still on his knees- 

-kkevin moves for the door as he speaks at susan- "she has a gun to his head!"

-Susan rolling her eyes as she looks at Kevin- I know she loves him dear. It is just for show. she isnt going to hurt him"

-Scarlet smirking as she gently grips Josh's hair and pulls his head back- "See? Still here. and mine. Now get out of my village"

-josh gulps as he pretneds to crý convicingly as he speaks at scarlet- "please let me go... w.. why are you doing this?" 

-the three men watch each gulping as they see josh crying only scarlet able to tell he is only pretending as the leader speaks up- "a... and what of his parents? We.. we are going to free mr mctravish there and collect his parents and we know they are here" 

-kevin looks again grunting- "then why is she holding him by the hair as he cries?"

"Shut up" -Scarlet narrowing her eyes at Josh she looks at the men- "You will not touch his parents. I am speaking with them. Any harm comes to them and you will have me to deal with"

"because its for show" -Susan standing she walks over to him and grips- "Josh isn't on pain. those tears are fake"

-jjosh gulps as he quickly pulls his hair free spitting on her boot as he looks up at her- "l... let me go!" 

-the men watch taking a small step forward- 

-kevin glares out at scarlet- "they better be"

"Excuse me?!" -Scarlet narrowing her eyes she pushes Josh to the ground and holds her knife just above his throat- "Did you just spit on my boot?"

-josh lays now on his back lifting his head-

-tthe lead man speaks up- "give us him and the parent"

"You think i'm stupid?" -Scarlet smirking as she holds a gun to Josh's head- "I told you last time you aint getting him. And you aint getting the parents"

-josh gulps looking up at the gun laying still- 

-the men all aim at scarlet as the leader speaks- "and what of his parents? Are you holding them captive too?"

"Depends how this talk with them goes. They heard Josh was here and are trying to get me to free him" -Scarlet laughing as she shakes her head she narrows her eyes at the men- "If I hear you loading those guns I will get my Hybrid's on you"

-Okami watching them with a quiet growl while Kira bares her teeth-

-the lead man glares at okami as he speaks- "show me them"

- josh gulps trying to sit up slightly-

"No" -Scarlet loading her gun she aims it at Josh's head and narrows her eyes- "Right now, they are mine. I am not giving them up"

-the men all aim at scarlet as the silent until now third man speaks- "let them go!"

-josh gulps as he lays back down watching the gun-

-Nova now padding outside she growls at the men and puts her paw on Josh's head while Scarlet stands- "They belong to me"

-josh grunts looking up at her paw laying still- "just let me go... please"

-the men all glance at each other as the third man speaks again- "what would it take for you to let one or all of them go?"

"First why do you want them so badly?" -Scarlet gripping her gun as she eyes the men-

-josh squirms against nova's paw lifting his body slightly- "please let me go! please!"

-the men looks at one and other once more before the leader speaks- "do you not remember why we were here last time? he owes us money and our boss is getting pissed off with not having it and does not believe that you... have... him"
