The night had been, thus far, relatively unobstrusive and the pup was resting comfortably when her father's... Uncle's... Howl roused her from her slumber. It was odd for him to wake the pack in the middle of the night... And immediately she was running toward him. It did not matter that she was but a pup. She was part of this pack now, and she would help defend it if at all possible! Aside from water, Nzingha did not fear anything.

But the scene that unfolded in front of her when finally she found Summer slowed her motion for a brief moment - two wolves were attacking a bear... And then she realized that it was her own father who was pinned against a tree by that very same bear. She was small and couldn't cause such a large bear much if any damage, but she could surely distract him, and she was so small that in the dark, she could be evasive. Immediately she started to bark at the bear as a dog would, growling occasionally. She could certainly run from the bear, especially in the dark as her pelt was black as night... But all she needed was for her father to be released. Then he would wreak havoc on the bear. "Come at me, you big brute! Let my father go! Pick on someone your own size, you grizzly jerk!"

OOC- LSVK and Violet - I know Violet wants Aimery to be killed - maybe have Aimery killed protecting Nzingha if the bear tries to attack her?
