A stranger appeared and leapt towards the tree, moving with the same speed that now compelled the bronze coyote to reach his sister. His fur had bristled, turning to dark-tipped fire along the length of his spine. The same over-protective anger that he had once felt for another girl was even more maddening around his sister. To see that this stranger would touch his sister, call her by such familiar names, it infuriated him. The danger was the only thing that let him keep his head, though he was reeling with the need to tell the dark hybrid exactly what he thought.
Ezekiel clambered over to where the two were, crouching near the tree branches and studying the ice and snow covered thing. He had seen these before. Vaguely, he was aware of the strange male speaking. The idea was simple, but it would work. “Find the rock, these pines are too soft to hold anything.” Stronger wood was needed, and he doubted that the black hybrid would know what that was. Leaping through the snow, the bronze coyote moved quickly. He backtracked to his path and followed it away from the pines, looking for the bare trees he recognized. A proud oak was his solution. Using his strong arms, Ezekiel pulled himself up to the low sections and quickly began moving around in the tree.
A few well placed jumps caused a brittle branch to crack under the force. He jumped into the snow after it, grabbed the thick branch with both hands, and began dragging it back. The going was slow, but adrenaline fueled him to move quickly. He had returned before the other male, and grasped his sister’s hand firmly, speaking loudly. “You’re gonna want to move when we get this off of you, but don’t. If you’re really hurt I’ll need to set anything that’s broken.” She would probably go into shock too, he realized. Wishing for another healer, he began moving the branch to the section of the tree that was closest to his sister.
