~* text |: ''speech'' |: 'thought' *~

The almost phantom-like figure of Freki's restless body trekked onward through the leaves and timber. Sore and almost a sense of rotting bone haunted her very being, her shining amber eyes seemed almost hollow in the silvery strands of frosted morning moonlight. Her ebony coat, having lost much of it's midnight colour, had lost a majority of it's shimmering tint as well. Her hurt leg had kept her from stopping to take a moment of shut eye and the strain on her stomach, that would growl and groan as it seemed like it was going to eat it's self inside out. Her left paw, almost dangled from her limb as if it were just hanging by a few single nerves. The pain of even thinking about it made her sick, although her stomach was empty and dry, she still felt her stomach trying to vomit out whatever was left.

Freki had struggled to mentally keep on her toes as well, storms thundered within her head, causing her head to irritatingly pulsate like waves slapping against the shore. There was no going back now, she had to keep moving forward, no matter what! Even if a giant bear with a paper airplane were to just roll out of the bushes...wait...I don't think something like that could ever happen. She paused and stood there for a moment 'have I finally gone completely insane?' she'd silently ask herself...'the hell I hope not'. With that, she shook all of the draining thoughts from her head and it ended with a jolting shake that vibrated her spine. That's better, now we can all go back to being completely and 100% sane for the sake of the gods.

Being that she had now traveled for near 3 full moon phases, she had became alone and has caught herself constantly chitter chatting to herself. Maybe it's due to not seeing another of her kind limping around? Who knows, apparently neither her, or her alter ego can agree one way or the other.

Thousands of unfamiliar scents were being filtered through her nostrils, one by one her brain working in the most awkward of ways to identify each. 'That must be a deer, that's a squirrel' she'd pause in the middle of her analysis 'wolves?'. Her tail wagged happily behind her, after thinking for so many weeks that she was the only left of her kind in world. Maybe, just maybe she had some kind of hope. She'd bound through the woods, her tail streaming like a ribbon behind her as she hopped over a low tree limp and landed gently on the ground beneath her.

She then leaped through a semi-naked bush and into a triangle shaped clearing, with large trees towering over her as she stood there in the moonlight, gazing around. A feeling of uneasyness washed over her body and crept through her skin. Her ears gently flicked with a gentle snarl across her face, the single flinch of a leaf setting her off. Her tail, which hung there bushy and slightly matted, twitched as if she were irritated. And she possibly had a fairly good reason to be angered as she limped to turn around in place, her eyes scanning the area, looking and searching for an enemy. 'who the hell is watching me?' she spoke as a lowly growl, with a speck of fear in her throat, rolled out of the gaps in her toothed jaws.

Frightened by the slightest sound, as she had almost trained herself to keep high on her whitened paws and be prepared for anything that leaps from the thick bushes. Her eyes darkened along with her temper and the fur on the back of her neck and spine stood high and stiff upon her pelt. She became increasingly uneasy, the trees seemed to reach out at her, making her heart ache with the strain she was tugging upon herself. ''Whoever is out there, I'm just looking for a home'' she'd quietly whine, if need be, she will do whatever she needs to do to survive an attack from an unknown enemy.

Buwaru

~I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep~

Buwaru had left his alpha back in the camp, for she said she had been feeling ill. Slipping out into the territories his favorite place to reside in the natural beauty of nature. Trotting through the field away from the pack den site listening to every little sound that made his ears twitch lightly. He opened his maw and ran his tongue over his jaws, trotting towards the river.

The forest looming over him as he reached the near border they shared with Su'Tera. 'Erf.. hunting in this place just doesn't feel right.' he thought rolling his eyes and entering the wood his tail swishing back and forth behind him in a lazy manner. Listening to everything ears tuning in and out as he tired to find something small. Then he heard it. The chattering of a squirrel!

Oh how perfect! A nice snack before he tired to get something bigger. This was going to be funny but he had to try, he walked as close as he dared, which wasn't that far at all. How could the flea bitten beasts be so stupid? They probably had brains the size of... the acorns they ate! Yeah probably. The mix crouched down and his tongue lolled out of his mouth.

Then he launched himself forward, catching the squirrel off-guard and killing it with an instant snap of his jaws. He gave a proud smirk to no one in particular and wagged his banner of a tail. Then he smelt something off here. Even through the scent of squirrel's blood he could smell it. It was close, wolf, unknown to him. Turning on a paw and trotting over with his usual confident air. Reaching the area the scent was coming from he poked his head through some dying bushes, squirrel hanging from his jaws, ears erect just as the wolf shouted.

Buwaru's grin turned coy, ears going back a bit, and tail wagging. Then he trotted out into the clearing, chest out, tail up, that grin still on his face although the squirrel was still in his jaws. He trotted around her side in a wide circle. "Oh hello there milady, I'm not here to cause you harm, I'm not that type of brute." he said kindly stopping in front of her with the same stance, his tail wagged.

"See here, have my breakfast." he said placing the squirrel by her paws noticing her injury in the process. "Oh, your leg, We have a healer in my pack who could look at that, trust me, I won't let them turn you away." He said lifting his head, ears perked.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

A white wolf sat, listening to the sounds of the plains around her. The drip of water off of the small shrubs around her, the wind blowing through the tall grass she was sitting in, and birds chirping happily. Her white ears swiveled as a new sound was added: the sound of voices.

Selaras, an Elite of the K'Narta wolf pack, crouched low in the tall grass she had spent so many moons in, honing her skills. Slowly, she creapt forward, ears facing forward to find the voices again. Her muscles were tight and ready for anything as she slowly made her way through the grassy plain.

As Selaras came closer, she recognized the voice of Buwaru, the beta male of her pack. Her muscles relaxed ever so slightly but her hackles rose as she didn't recognize the other voice or the other scent, which meant an intruder. But since Buwaru was there, Selaras didn't form a snarl on her mouth.

The white she-wolf crouched lower to the ground as she grew closer to the pair. That was the only thing she disliked about her pelt: it always made her stick out like a thorn stuck deep in a pad. Hunting or stalking in any other season other than winter was always a pain, but, it had made Selaras practice more and, because of that, made her better at stalking.

'Of course, it doesn't really matter if they spot me because of my pelt...' Selaras reflected to herself, 'Caribou-dung. I should have gone around the other side.' She was now in a position that had the wind blowing her scent directly to Buwaru and the other wolf. So, no matter how far down she crouched, or how muddy her pelt was, her scent would give her away. The only thing to do now was wait.

Buwaru

~I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep~

Buwaru's gold eyes glistened with a kind air then suddenly he heard it, faint off from them, paw-steps perhaps? No.. no one had followed him out, perhaps someone had been awake earlier than him? Turning his golden gaze towards the trees that were closest to the plain. Taking a few steps forward infront of the injured fae, took a make a barrer between her and the noise, as it may be an intruder or what he called the vanisher, his sense of chiveraly wouldn't allow the fae to be injured or hurt whilst he was there.

Though a sent soon wafted towards him, strong and fresh. He knew that scent like the bottom of his paws. It was one of his fellow K'Narta wolves; his subordinate Selaras. Soon enough he saw specks of white fur. There she was. He grinned a little and relaxed his muscles which he not even been aware that he had tensed up. Buwaru took in a deep breath then looked over his shoulder at the injured wolf then back to Selaras whom it seemed was trying to stay hidden.

Giving his tail a friendly wag,"My lovely white snowflake, where you following me?" the words rolling off his tounge like silk as always and his grin widening a little. He was always like this, but of course wolves in his pack knew this and seemed to accept it. "Oh look your beautiful white coat got all messy" his tone flirty as always once again as he padded forward a few steps.

[/blockquote][/size]

[Silva]

Just as she had thought; Buwaru had scented her and pinpointed her. Although, she hadn't expected his defensive stance. It was unclear to the K'Narta fae why the Beta of her clan would want to defend an intruder. But soon enough, the brute grinned and relaxed, basically telling Selaras that she was in no danger of being attacked. That was postitve. And yet, she still didn't move until Buwaru started forward and his tail began wagging slightly.

As her Beta asked his question of her, Selaras straightened and walked forward, meeting her pack-mate halfway. Now she was able to see why Buwaru had been defensive: he had been protecting a wounded wolf. That was completely a Buwaru move and it proved that he was a good wolf. She smiled back at him, giving a nice, full smile. Her smile was also mischevious and coy, and she knew Buwaru's game. She would give him everything he gave her in the way of teasing and what-not.

"Oh, I don't know. I was just out and about. But you know us snowflakes, we just go wherever our hearts tell us to go." Selaras replied smoothly, her own fluffy tail swishing back ans forth happily. The brute was a handsome one, and she couldn't lie to herself; she did feel a sort of attraction, or connection, to Buwaru. But she would never admit as much.

Buwaru moved foreward again, putting their noses half a tail-length apart. His next statement was flirtatious and Selaras was going to return the favor for pointing out that she had pretty much been snooping; not that she had purposefully heard their conversation in the first place.

Selaras adopted a mock horror expression and glanced at her pelt, pretending to frantically clean her pelt, which wasn't horribly dirty. She purposefully left a spot on her back that looked difficilt to reach. With a wink Selaras turned and said with a low voice,

"I can't reach the rest of it! Would you please get the spot I missed, Buwaru?" Selaras was happy with this simple life.

[Starry]

Buwaru

~I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep~

((Uh oh, Buwaru's got two lovely ladies on his paws! Whats he gonna do? Omg Selaras used attract! IT"S PRETTY DAMN EFFECTIVE!!!!!))

Buwaru blinked his golden orange orbs at Selaras as she took a few steps towards him. Then he froze and looked over his shoulder as the injured wolf, she looked... vacant.. okay maybe she was really hurt and in shock. Although she was standing.. yeah.. he could mess around for a moment. With that thought passing through his mind he turned his head back to Selaras.

Buwaru's worried expression remained for a moment but as soon as Selaras's words had left her mouth the frown disappeared and returned to his big'ol coy grin. The large male gave a light chuckle and answered"Oh yes I know, your heart must've lead you right here to me.." he grinned keeping up his little games, a lot of times the brute just didn't know when to quit but it certainly proved funny in the end. The mutt wolf of the pack, as he was known to be, the mixed up pup of two mixed up wolves. Well he'd prove them wrong one day but any who he was going to mess around today.

Seeing Selaras face go from a happy smile to a look of horror. Oh she was messing with him too, heh, he didn't mind in the least. It was fun and not to mention Selaras was quite attractive, with her white pelt and such beautiful ice blue eyes. As she frantically began to lick her coat he just blinked at her a little bit then she turned to him with a wink and some words. Enticing words that got his tail wagging a little.

"Of course milady, anything you wish"

[/b] he said bowing his head to her and giving a quick wink before tentatively stepping closer to her. The male was of course larger than her and when he stepped closer to her his fur brushed against hers and his shoulder was at least above her eyes, she was already smaller than most, and Buwaru was larger than most as well. The male leaned his head over and licked at the muck on her coat, which was in between Selaras's shoulder blades**, carefully cleaning the spot with, it seemed, a smile on his face and gentle laps of his tongue on her fur.

(**I'm assuming that would be the difficult spot to reach so I put that there hope you don't mind)


[/center][/blockquote][/size]

[Silva]

Selaras gave a smile but then frowned as Buwaru looked at the intruder. Now that she knew why Buwaru had been defensive, she was more comfortable around the other she-wolf. Her words seemed to bring the Beta back into his normal, teasing, and flirting self, which was perfectly fine with Selaras. She was just as bad as he was. It was effectual for bringing them in and yet keeping them away. Less risk of breaking a heart.

Buwaru agreed to help 'clean her pelt' and bowed his head. That was a bit uncomfortable because a Beta bowed to know one but the Alpha and perhaps his/her mate, and Selaras was neither. The white fae was an Elite only. But she didn't let that bother her as he winked at her and stepped forward, reaching to clean between her shoulder blades.

Surprisingly, Selaras relxed at the contact. It felt better than she had originally thought it would, considering the fact that there wasn't much to really clean. He was much larger than her. They weren't that far apart in age, but the white fae was smaller than most other she-wolfs in her pack, who were smaller as it was already, making her even smaller. It didn't bother her, she liked her size. Besides, she fit with Buwaru, who was larger than most in her pack.

When the brute had finished his cleaning of her fur, Selaras leaned up, standing on her toes and whispered into his orangeish ear,

"Thank you, Buwaru." Her voice was soft and caressing. She leaned slightly away, only far enough so that she could lick his cheek. With her 'thank you' finished, Selaras went back to stand comfortably on her pads. She walked slightly past her Beta and swept her tail beneath his chin as she looked back at him, cheekiness glinting in her eyes and a small grin played across her lips.

The white wolf sat then, looking at the other fae curiously. She was wounded but standing. This made Selaras wonder,

'Why was he protecting her? She has, thus far, taken care of herself. And, it's not as if she were crippled. Granted, her wound is probably worse than what I can make out.' Her head cocked half an inch to the right as she studied the other female in the vicinity.

She was pretty so Selaras understood why Buwaru was being so friendly to her. It was his personality to be kind and curtious to the females. And flirt. Selaras couldn't forget that he had probably been flirty. Heck, if that had been a male, she would've been flirting.

[ProtoCreed]

[shadow=red,left,300] "Well.. what do we have here? An intruder?" [/shadow]The Arabian wolf had silently stepped into view. "What happened here Buwaru? Two rather beautiful females.. One male. Is that tension I sense?" He chuckled. "I am merely joking. But on the more serious side.. Why is there an intruder? And why is she still here?" His cold gaze turned to the female. At first he stared into the females eyes, as if trying to figure out her intentions, But then he gazed to the rest of her, finally noticing her injury.

"Ah. Thats why. Well.. Dont let me get in the way with what you believe you must do. If there is anything you need me to do, just call." Drake turned around and started to head back to the general direction of the camp.

((Drake to pack))

[Starry]

Buwaru

~I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep~

Buwaru grinned slightly, wondering what it would feel like to be groomed by someone else. Well, at this moment it was not the time to ask, he was almost finished, and he wanted to relish this close moment with one of the beautiful faes in his pack. As he finished up his licks became a little slower until he was satisfied that her fur there was clean.

He lifted his head a little about to rest it across her shoulder blades but she moved and spoke. Warmth breath on his ear, it twitched her voice to him, sounding like silk. The unexpected happened, she licked his cheek. The male froze up, staring at her with is eyes with a 'wtf just happened' look in them. Then she walked off running her tail under chin, he took in a whiff of her scent, his frozen moment over.

She wanted to play like that did she? Noticing her cheeky grin and wink it seemed so. The male chuckled shaking his head then he quietly walked up behind her, splaying both his front paws to either side of her hind quarters, and leaned his head over her back and placed his on one of her shoulders. He smirked, tail wagging, "You know there is more than one way to repay favors"

[/b] he said his voice flirty, although he wasn't serious he was really just messing with her, but it might not be known right away.

Suddenly a voice sounded off and his entire body went ridged. What a way to be caught, literally and nearly on top of an elite with an intruder near by. He lifted his head a bit over Selaras's head and stared straight forward not even looking at Drake feeling awkward. "Uh huh.. I'll be sure to send you a howl if I need anything"[/b] he answered, body still seeming to be frozen in place over Selaras.


((BAH HA HA HA Oh Buwaru you and your stupid daring ways))

[/center][/blockquote][/size]

[Silva]

Selaras didn't know what Buwaru was going to do next, but the answer came when he stepped up behind her and basically stradled her and rested his head on one of her shoulders. His next comment was surprising as well as suggestive. She knew his flirty personality and figured he didn't mean anything by it; although, Slearas couldn't quite ignore the tingling feeling she felt wherever their pelts met. The white fae didn't knwo what to think but her thoughts were interrupted when another wolf joined their growing group and the Beta's body went stiff over hers.

It was slightly embarrasing to be caught like this, but luckily, she didn't have to speak. Buwaru spoke for all three and Drake, the fellow elite from K'Narta, left them for the den site.

Selaras stayed where she was, enjoying the contact oddly enough. She almost didn't want it te end. Since Buwaru didn't move, the white she-wolf leaned slightly back into the Beta, eyes closing slightly. It was nice. She wasn't used to contact, even though she still had her siblings. They were close, but they didn't sleep near each other. This closeness was new, slightly firhgtening, but nice. She simply leaned back into the brute and waited for his next move.

[Starry]

Buwaru

~I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep~

Buwaru waited until he heard the pawstep's of Drake vanish, then allowing himself to relax and let out a breath of air. Only then did he realize Selarus had leaned on him. Letting a chuckle rumble from his chest he looked down a her, tail wagging slightly. "Comfy m'dear?" he asked kindly still flirting a little but also being nice. The reddish furred brute inhaled deeply taking in whatever scents he could to assure it was still safe to be messing around out here.

It seemed it was, nothing dangerous caught his attention, just a deer, the injured fae, the lingering scent of Drake, and the scent that was so strong and sweet to his nose; Selaras. He was still looking at her, her eyes half closed, she seemed quite comfortable.. he hoped she wouldn't mind if got comfortable too. The male swallowed a breath and moved his legs forward, on either side of her stomach and sat.

Taking another nervous breath he moved his hind quarters away from hers, on her left side. He hoped she didn't move away or hate him for this. The male was actually feeling a little tired and had wanted to sit down, but not wanting to bother Seleras, he had just gone at his first impulse and moved.

((I'm gonna sketch this up in my sketchbook and show you real soon X3 But just so you know, he's sitting sideways, so she can still lean on him and doesn't feel like he is about to 'rape' her. ))

[Silva]

All the white she-wolf could do was nod her head at the brute's question. She smiled gently. It was nice to be with someone, even if she didn't think it would last. She could always pretend for the moment.

Buwaru began to shift slightly. At first, she was afraid that he was leaving so soon and she almost spoke up in protest. But eventually he settled to her left. She was still able to lean on him, but now, she was sure, he was more comfortable and she would not want her Beta to be uncomfortable because of her.

His movements had seemed nervouse and she was curious enough to speak.

"Nervous you'll scare me away, Great Beta?" The flirtatious fae asked with a lopsided grin as her eyes remained partially closed. She was content where she was and had no intention of moving unless Buwaru moved first.

[Starry]

Buwaru

~I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep~

Buwaru huffed out a breath, enjoying the closeness to his favorite female within the pack. She had always been kind to him, never upset with his constant flirting or playful ways. She was usually never cross with him, a choice elite for anything serious. He admired her greatly. Buwaru couldn't believe she hadn't left him here alone with this strange fae, he was happy she hadn't.

As she seemed to lean closer, he smiled warmly, not a flirty smile, a genuine smile. He let out a breath as he nuzzled his muzzle against her head, tail wagging slightly. He lifted his head away from the smaller fae and looked up at the trees. Then he heard her speak up he looked down and felt his skin flush a little bit under his eyes as she teased him a little.

"Great Beta?" he asked starting to chuckle. Now he wasn't that great, but he was generally nervous around her, he always felt weird around her, he got nervous and jumped to flirting immediately. Then he got an idea, smirked again, and leaned over her head and whispered in her ear. "I can't help if my lovely snowflake gives me chills" his fur brushing against her, a tingling feeling running down his spine.

[Silva]

Selaras held her breath in surprise. This wasn't the normal teasing she recieved from Buwaru. It was different and thrilling. She buried her head in his chest as he leaned over her. She gave him the chills? Was he being serious? She couldn't tell. She began to tremble slightly as she leaned into him.

"That's what snowflakes are supposed to do, Buwaru." Selaras said as she lifted her head to look into his golden amber eyes. His name came out in a whisper as she looked up at the brute. Her tail began wagging back and forth slightly, her white fur brushing the grass beneath them.

[Starry]

Buwaru

~I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep~

Buwaru smiled softly with that look on her face, that sweet bewildered look. She buried her head into his thick chest fur and he placed his head over hers gently, as if to protect her from a cold wind. Then she began to tremble and the male frowned, he had upset her hadn't he? He'd messed up but, he was going to pretend he hadn't noticed.

Buwaru buried his nose in her cheek fur for a moment then moved his hind quarters closer to her, trying to keep her warm in case she was actually cold instead of upset or nervous. The large male was a serious guy when it came to important things, a joker at other times it was hard personality to manage but it worked itself out in the end. "Your not cold are you?" he asked softly at normal voice tone lifting up his head a little bit.

The mixed wolf inhaled taking in Selaras's scent, trying to calm himself as his nervousness was getting over the edge. Then her voice sounded quietly, getting quieter with each word. She... she... she thought he was playing with her. He'd never play at a time like this. Then she looked up at him with those beautiful ice blue orbs. The brute lowered his head and gave her a lick on the nose, his own dark brown tipped tail swishing back and forth in the grass wagging. He craned his head forward by her ear and whispered again.

"No.. you see my snowflake is special, she's different in so many great and beautiful ways; she gives me chills but she also warms my heart"
