A Nights Travel

[Breechin]

The night was coming fgfast, the winds chilled the brown females skin, making her shiver. Golden leaves sprinkled the ground as she began to walk through the fields, their golden color turning a light blue in the night. She looked up, white muzzle staring to the heavens, as stars began to twinkle. She gave a small smile, her tail curling round her hind leg. She continued to wander, spotting a herd of deer not too far off. She smiled, ears drooping, as her smile began to fade. The deer had a home, and she did not. Almost everyone she knew had a home, wether it be a pack or pride, but she, she stood alone. Her crisp green eyes hone brightly in the night, as she walked, her white tipped paws guiding her to wherever it was that she needed to go. She did however, wished to know, where she was going.

Tired paws relaxed as she reclined to her haunches, sitting under a lone tree, her tail swaying slightly, thumping the ground and dirt. She released a gih from her black lips, pink tounge lolling from her mouth. This wasn't right, she thought. She was supposed to belong, or at least, fit in. The female known as Kurin stood up once again, as she began to walk at a slow pace, her thoughts screaming at her in her mind. She was never going to be a loner, although she knew that there was a good chance of it happening. She shook her head, the freckles on her muzzle seemed to dance with her movement. She gave a rought snort, looking to the ground angerily. She was not going to stay a loner forever,she just wasn't.

Her eyes stood out, as a breeze past by again. She let out a growl, her nose picking up something new. Her ears perked, as she sat down. Perhaps, something was to happen here..something good, she hoped. She could smell something out there, and that's when she thought she heard somethng rustle, but she figured it was the breeze. She looked once again to the moon, and smiled.

((m'kay ^^ bye bye for now, and I'll reply.))

A slender dark brown brute padded through the feild, paws tapping lightly on the firm ground. He had seen rain clouds near the mountains ahead, yesterday, before falling asleep, hidden among the high golden pasture. But today was as dry as ever. A herd of deer was grazing nearby, the fawns born in spring now loosing their spotted coats. He sighed, feeling as if his life was meaningless. A loner, and a thin, young one at that, wandering feilds teeming with deer, and not even able to touch them. " If I died, no one would even care," he thought forelornly. He shook his head. He mustn't think those thoughts. He would eventually find a place. A home.

He started as a thrush exploded from the golden stalks. He growled, angry at himself for not paying attention to his surroundings. : That could've been my dinner!: Clawing at the loose top soil, he stormed off, knowing that anything within hearing distance now knew he was there. He was hungry, as always, but now he would have to wait even longer for his meal. He sighed. The brown brute's name was Rucio, and he was used to the harsh life of a loner.

Walking on, his anger cooled. It wasn't like it hadn't happened before. And besides, his nose caught the scent of nearby prey. He paused and listened. He could hear little shuffling sounds. : Probably a mouse...: he thought, peering in the direction of the noise. He remained unmoving except for his eyes, and eventually a fat little mouse appeared. It didn't take any notice of him, though its little cheeks bulged with seeds. The little mouse crept closer with every passing minute. Rucio moved not a single muscle, knowing if he waited it would come near enough for him to snap at. The fat rodent was so busy stuffing itself that he never realized he was within a wolf's reach until it was too late. Rucio lunged forward, crushing the mouse in his strong jaws. The savory juices flowed into his mouth. Overjoyed at his fairly effortless catch, he lay down and started on his dinner. : Things aren't so bad after all: he thought contentedly.

[Breechin]

Her ears perked, hearing a rustling noise. Standing up, she crouched low, ears flattening to her skull, ivory fangs bared. Her nose and muzzle crumpled up turning into a small snarl. She lunged for the thicket, claws and legs outstretched. They were powerful things, her legs. Although thin and skimpy looking, she was a powerful runner, and she could catch whatever it was making the noise. Her white paws daintly touched the dirt below her, as she crawled towards the being, her eyes now narrowed towards the figure. She let out a growl, showing her presence. She thought of nothing more, than to kill this intruder, if the figure decided to attack her. Her tail hung limp behind her. Whomever this was- it had ruined her perfect evening.

The stars twinkled above, the moon watching over her like an eye, another cool breeze shiwshing her coat, the thicket swaying like waves on the ocean. She let out a small bark, the ground seeming to dissappear from her as she became surrounded in total darkness. The only thing she saw now, was to kill, or attack, or something to wound this other being of whom she did not know. Her nose became inflamed as it twitched violently, taking in the crisp autumn night and this being. It smelled as though it was another wolf, or, perhaps of the Canis family, but she wasn't about to take chances.

She crouched low, only to spring up, lunging at the figure, arms outstretched, and jaws open....

[eclipse]

Rucio was crunching on one of the mouse's little bones, when he heard a growl. He frozed and snapped his head up, ears swiveling in the direction of the noise. He jumped to his paws at the following bark, hackels raising. : What's that?: he thought. Next thing he knew, a figure was lunging at him out of the shadows. It was a wolf, and by the looks of it he had done Something wrong. He yelped and tried to scramble out of the way, but knew it was no use. he crouched instead, and braced for the impact.

(( Sorry! I actually think I have writers block! There wasn't much I could say....))

[Breechin]

She landed on him, her paws pressing down on his shoulders. He was on his stomach. She looked down, her fangs bared but her growl gone. She was more surprised than anything. Her ears perked as she looked to him, her nose trembling. She looked into his eyes with her green crisp spring eyes, as she quickly withdrew. He seeemed harmless, just another wolf, like herself- a loner, trying to make ends meat for himself.

"I..I'm...so sorry," she said lowering her head. She felt embarrassed, for she had attacked someone who had also felt and lived the same way she did. Her stomach growled, it tugged at her, making her want to cry, but she held back the tears. She looked to him, tail drooping.

"I..I thought you were...someone who was going to hurt me..please, forgive me," she said lowering her head yet again. Her muscles in her legs wre tight, so they trembled as she stood there. Her mouth was closed, and ears perked as she waited for him to speak.

[eclipse]

Eclipse stared, seeing the fae completely change. One minute she was after his blood, the next she was begging for forgiveness. "Hurt you? Why would anyone hurt you?" he sounded stupid, but he didn't want her to leave. He was tired of being alone. He wanted it to end, and maybe this wolf was part of a pack. Or maybe not, but if not at least he wouldn't be alone anymore.

He pawed away the remains of the mouse, and sat on his haunched, hackles lying flat once again. He wasn't the aggressive type, so he got over his shock at being attacked quickly. " And don't worry about it," he said, trying to calm her down. He could see her shaking. " I would probably have attacked at some wolf in my territory too." There, now she would either agree, or tel him that it wasn't her terra. That she was a loner like him.

(( that's a little better....oh well...))

[Breechin]

Her ears perked, listening to him speak. A small smile drifted onto her muzzle, as she reclined to her haunches. Wait, did he say correctly? Her land? She giggled, lowering her head, her brown fur shaking as she couldn't help but laugh at the male.

"My home? This..this isn't my home...I'm a loner.." She said it as though she were proud, but one would suppose at a time like this, laughing was really somethign a loner didn't do. She opened her crisp green eyes, looking at him, shaking her head. The moon shone brightly over head, as did the twinkling stars. Her tail swayed back and forth on the dirt.

"What.. is your name?" she asked still looking at him. Her eyes said nothing, but her expressions said everything.

"My name is Kurin," she added looking up to the stars and the moon. A star glided past them, for it was a shooting star[if you didn't know] and her smile widened, as she looked back to him, ears perked as she waited for an answer.

[eclipse]

(( ;D I love your siggi!))

Rucio smiled as she spoke. She sounded as though she were proud of being a loner. He was beggining to like this wolf who had only minutes ago attacked him. : At least she doesn't mope around...like me...: He glanced up as a shooting star sped made it's way through the starry sky, smiling even more at such a rare and lovely sight.

"Hello Kurin. My name is Rucio, and I too am a loner...at least for now..." he tilted his head quizziczlly, and asked " I don't know if I would rather join a pack... I know not much about this land." He looked to her and asked, " you?" If she was looking to join a pack, he migt as well come along. Or maybe if she wasn't, she would at least not mind having him around. Who knew?

[Breechin]

She looked at him, her smile begining to fade."Well hullo Ruico then," she said giving another small smile. Her tail swished as she listened to hims speak. Her heart rested with ease, knowing that he was like her, a loner. She stood up again, nodding, the brown freckles on her nose blended together when she did a motion, that it seemed as though her whole nose was brown.

"I plan on joining a pack..very soon," she growled happily, looking to the sky.

"I know how to get there, and I know what to do and say..."she added looking to him. For some reason, she felt a little bad that he was also looking for a pack, yet he did not know where to og. Her ears perked up higher than before, her crisp green eyes widening as she thought.

" I know! We can go and join the pack together! That way..we can both belong...we can both have a place to call our own..we could.." she stopped and paused, ears lowering, as did her head.

"We'd both have to put on an act just to join," she sneered, looking to the ground, then to him.

"PosionBlade's pack is strong, and full of game..w-I mean I was planning on going there...to..you know.. have a place that I know in time, could protect me and my friends, and there'd be plenty of food." she told him, then shook her head,""But he only wants strong, evil wolves..so we'd have to become something like that," she said, with a sigh.

[eclipse]

Rucio took a close look at the fae for the first time. He could see that she looked very similar to him, though a little taller. He had once come across a fae with pups, and had been startled at how small she was. She also looked different in minor ways, thoung the principles were basically the same. He had thought of the encounter many times since then, and had realized that though they probably belonged to the same ancestrial (sp?) famliy, they were almost certainly different species. Kumrin appeared, not like the fae with pups he had seen, but like him. This somehow made him even more at ease in her presence.

His ears flattened as he listened to Kurin describe the pack she was considering joining. He tried to imagine himself as a big evil brute he would have to be to join. It was difficult, but he knew he could adapt in time. What worried him most was the fact that he didn't know how to act in a pack. He was sure he'd offend everyone by the time he understood the hierarchy of a pack. Looking at himelf and Kurin, he knew they wouldn't have to appear strong, especially if the alpha of this evil pack was the same species as the fae he had met. But he didn't know if he could really be 'evil'. : I would only have to fake it..and having Kurin there would keep me sane: he thought. : Unless she really did become evil...:

He looked up at Kurin, and said," I don't know if I can really be evil..." he glanced around him beofer continuing. " But I'm willing to give it a try. I'm tired of life as a loner." He drew himself up proudly. " And besides, I haevn't survived this long without learning to adapt and survive." He tilted his head at her. He smiled a little beofer saying," And besides, we'd only have to fake it. I think it sounds like it's worth a shot." Smiling fully now, he looked at her, waiting to see what she would say.

[Breechin]

Her ears perked, as she stood there, tail swaying a mile a minuet. She couldn't believe that she had just made a new friend AND ontop of that, he was going to go with her to join Zaltana Pack. She gave a blissful smile, nodding her head quickly.

"Oh wow..you mean it?!" she barked. She was acting like a pup on their first hunting day. She looked to him, rasing a wolfish brow, then began to think.

"Hold up...we need to look evil and angry," she said narrowing her eyes. She wasn't sure how she was going to do it, but she was going to make it work. She bared her fangs, as she tried to make her eyes look cold and forebidding, although she knew she was sucking, and sucking horribly.

She held the expression for a moment, wanting to see what he would say, although, she began to crack up, finally having a prupose, even if it meant being evil..just around the Alpha of course...

[eclipse]

Rucio tried not to smile. He ducked his head down so she couldn'y see his face. But gave himself away by laughing.

" I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it. Of course I mean it, but it could be harder than I thought." He gave her a canine grin, toungue lolling out. " Let me try...hmm..."

The grin fanished off his face as he thought of his mother. He began to growl, angry at her. She had left him when he was just, and only just, able to hunt for himself. He had nearly starved to death. Rucio bared his teeth in a snarl, hackles rising and back arching. How could she do that to him? mothers were supposed to love their pups more than anything in the world! He snarled ferociously emmitting a vicious bark.

He paused the angry and resentful thoughts swimming in his mind, shaknig his head. He anxiously glanced at Kurin, hoping he hadn't thought he was snarling at her.

[eclipse]

((ack. that was horrible. sorry, i'm just really hungry. *goes to get snack*))

[Breechin]

Her eyes widened. He was very good at pretending, although, she knew very well that he wasn't. Her ears drooped, her tail tucked between her legs as she watched him grolw and snarl. Although she knew he wasn't doing it at her,something made her feel like he was.

Once back to normal, she nodded, trembling in her spot.
"W..wow..g-good acting.." she said gulping slightly. She started to relax again, ears perking slightly.
