Werewolves (RP 4): Danger on the Horizon (12/11-08/12)

PreviousPage 3 of 10Next

May:

Kratos became silent after Jackie's last comment, and though he had thought to reply after a moment, he instead said nothing for a long time afterward. The hushed footsteps in the halls were louder than his presence, and were it not for his breathing, one could have easily forgotten he was even standing in the room.. 

But soon the footsteps ceased and even the breath of the Alpha became quiet. The only disturbance was the click-clack of Jackie's spoon breaking apart the old wooden windowsill...

It could not have been known until a low growl rumbled from Kratos' throat that he had changed his form just then, as he had made no other sound. His warning, though directed at Jackie, was not a threat and was barely audible above a breath.

----

Were it not for the silence which ensued in the hall at that moment, things might have gone much more smoothly on the other side of the door... 

But people wandering in that hall grew less and less, until only one figure remained; a broad woman dressed in black from boot to sleeve. 

She had come a long way to end up in these halls, and as she at last drew near her goal she was forced to slow her steps.

Slowly and as quietly as she possibly could, she drew a breath, then she listened; no sound could be heard. 

---

Kratos' bright yellow eyes were firmly concentrated at the door and his ears were strained for any sound.. The senses of a werewolf were no doubt improved in the enhanced form, but even then Kratos could detect nothing save the scent.

There was another werewolf in the hall, not one the Alpha recognized. It's scent was heavily mixed with that of other werewolves, many many other unknown werewolves.. 

Kratos could not guess the stranger's exact intentions, but that regular people had been subconsciously caused to avoid it was enough for him to know that it was hunting. 

~~~~~~~~~~~

[meanwhile]

Timothy suddenly jolted awake and stared about the room. His hands were clenched at the rim of his blanket and he seemed to note every detail of his surroundings.. Yet his mind was not focused on what he beheld about him, nor upon any particular thought. 

As he slowly relaxed, Timothy began to try to assess himself and discover what exactly was wrong. He knew he had awoken from a nightmare of sorts, but whether it was that nightmare or the previous night which had frightened him there could be no telling. Every memory in his head was so distant and foggy that he felt if did not concentrate on them that it would all become black again and be lost forever..

Briefly Timothy could not even stir within himself a desire to remember, but at the same time he desperately wanted to; there was something about either the previous night or the nightmare that had made his mind strain to keep the memory..

"What was it?!" Timothy said with frustration, unfurling the blanket from him.

He brought his feet over the side of his bed and stared down at his hands. And as quickly as that he had suddenly stopped struggling to retain the memory and had let it slip from his grasp completely.. 

He gazed at his hands in a dull wonder; he had no claws, no black fur, no pads on his palms.. Pain began to dawn on him as well, but that sensation wasn't new, he'd had it for some time though not as intensely.

"Why does this even matter?" Timothy caught himself mid-thought. He looked up again at the room before turning aside and casting himself back down on the bed. He felt as if his heart had suddenly gained a great weight, though he did not understand why.. He did not even know what is was that he had thought so important, yet knowing that the memory was gone with no chance of ever being restored in his conscious mind made him depressed. 

Mariel:

Kieoki sat there quivering for some time, trying to remember what her dream had been about specifically. She knew that it had been her normal nightmare, but this time it'd ended differently. She shuddered and tilted her head upwards and against the tree behind herself, starting to work backwards from the last thing she could remember about the dream. She started with the memory of the wolves popping up, threatening to devour her whole because she was small and good prey for a wild pack. And then...and then...normally that would be the moments when the alpha would jump at her and start the attack. But...that hadn't happened, had it?

And then like a snap, she remembered the rest. And her shivering stopped. And a grin spread across the side of her face. Sure, she didn't know what would've happened when the entire pack had descended on her, but she'd shifted and fought back. That was the important thing, Kieoki realized with a wider grin, happy with herself. She glanced down at herself, forcing her still slightly-shaking hands to cease movement. She lifted her hands then, holding them up as she gazed upon their larger size. 

The only thing she couldn't figure out is why the dream had gone differently. She sighed, unable to answer her own question and so she stood up, rubbing the feeling back into her legs that had gone a bit numb. They tingled and she shook them out, wincing from the sensation. How long had she been away? She turned her gaze towards the sky, shocked to see that the sun hadn't moved more than an hour or two ahead in the sky. She frowned, wondering how time seemed to move too fast or too slow and yet it stayed the same as ever. 

Kieoki turned her head in the direction of camp. She couldn't see her new home through the trees, but she had a good sense of direction and could faintly smell it on the soft wind. She frowned, not really wanting to head back to camp just yet. She sighed, trying to remember if she was happier now, or if she'd been happier before she joined the pack. She started slowly walking back to camp, taking her time as she tried to answer the question. She gave up after a few minutes though, deciding that it didn't matter all that much. 

Indy:

Jackie gave no audible recognition at Kratos' silence. For a moment, it seemed the woman was unaware of any sort of disturbance as she continued to pull splinters of wood from the door frame. But Jackie, though however inexperienced at registering her own heightened senses, could register a lack of it. The hospital was eerily quiet now, and Kratos had stopped speaking. She might not have smelled anything, but Kratos seemed to have sensed something and Jackie trusted his judgement. 

Then, with a slow steady motion, the spork stopped. Her eyes had remained flashing from the side of her periphery vision. She brought the tattered, warp remains of her precious utensil close towards her chest with an expression much like a lion about to pounce. Whatever else might happen, she was ready with a weapon.

Kratos growled and Jackie tensed, sliding her weapon more securely in her palm.

Hour Glass:

Ziet listened very closely to Ulric, his scent was familiar to her, and there was a bit of Kratos' too. She crossed her arms as she listened, making sure she caught every detail. "So that's where they went" she said, "Thank you for this information." She liked the politness he showed to her, and that he respected her for her rank in the pack. She gave him a small smile, "Since you are familiar with Kratos, I don;t need to chase you off" she said pleasantly, "And you are welcome to share lunch with the pack."

It was then he went silent, which confused her for a moment. Then, she felt the hand on her shoulder, which nearly made her jump. It was the classic case of Ziet not paying attention to everything, which had let the wolf come up behind her, and startled her, and that was one thing. Ziet hated to be startled, and she hated people coming up from behind her. It wouldn't have bothered her too much if it had been a pack member. But the scent told her something else.

She pulled her shoulder away from the female, and turned facing her. She let out a low growl, making the female's position aware to everyone else. "You on the other hand are not pack" she said, "Why are you here?" She watched the female closely, ready to attack if needed, and she was prepared to run her off.

Dez:

Logan let her arms rest at her sides and stood firmly in place. Her shoulders back, chest out, chin raised just slightly - a solid stance that showed fearlessness, and in turn better revealed the air of dominance that lingered about her. While the other woman may have held a high authority, Logan only saw her as another stranger.

Her suspicions of being within the territory of a pack were verified upon hearing the words of the female who stood before her, and with this knowledge in mind, anger flared up inside her soul. The rage was concealed behind a blank, if not still subtly curious expression, but remained present. Her body was full of aches, her shoulder was bare of the weight of her lost belongings, and her stomach never ceased for a moment to remind her that she hadn't eaten a bite in over two days now. Her overall composure was a thread from being lost entirely. 

"I woke up here and asked myself the same question." was her quiet response. She briefly considered dismissing herself and walking away in search of the town she had been before the full moon, but despite her hate for the werewolves, she couldn't bring herself to leave just yet. In her current physical state, it would take a good deal of willpower to choose to walk for what could be several miles, and she hadn't quiet summoned it up.

Unsure of what to think, let alone say at the moment, there was a gap of silence before she spoke again. "What is this place?" she questioned, examining the area, "And how far are we from the town?" her gaze briefly caught on the nearby male, then finally her eyes once more became fixed on those of the woman before her. Logan also wondered who brought her here and why, and how many werewolves took residence in this place, but those were questions to be asked later or perhaps never asked at all. 

Aim:

Chime saw that Zeit was talking with the stranger, well, two strangers, and decided now was a good time to move. She walked out and went for the door, it was a good time for a walk. Once out, she stayed on the pouch for a few minutes before heading for the forest. 

She ran the first few steps but then started walking, trying to clam herself, which proved not to be very hard. The trees had many leafs and counting them was a calming past time. Though she did keep her feet moving, she did slowed down quite a bit. It was then she heard someone else, which wasn't uncommon, but it still freaked Chime out a bit, till she saw Kieoki. 

Chime walked up, what was her name again? Did she even know? "Hi." Chime smiled, she then realized that she didn't know many of the people who lived here, it was a little weird actually, living a whole month here and still not knowing the people who lived in the same house as you? Yeah..

Kaqurei:

"Auhhh... augh..." Levi moaned softly. His head was throbbing. What had happened? Where was he? His wild yellow eyes snapped open as he remembered--the pupils shrunk to mere pinpoints in an instant to compensate for the sudden light. His aching head protested sharply. He winced and pushed himself to his feet, human style, to have a look around at his surroundings. The movement reminded him of other things, like rolling down a mountain side and getting the back of his neck ripped open to name only a few, though he found that the worst of his injuries had already been tended.

He was in a large, deep ditch--the walls were too tall for him to make a leap out of. He supposed he could climb out; the walls were steep, but made of dirt. Only a second glance provided a glimpse of some sort of tall barbed fence that would provide more hassle once he got to the top. Some subtle buzzing sound warned him also that it might be electric. Were he in full health, he probably would have tested it anyway... but... augh... not now. 

He debated on whether or not he should shift, as without the Moon to support it, his wolf form was a strain to keep a hold of. He'd already held it too long. But on the other hand, he was obviously still a prisoner to the enemy, and he did not want to become more vulnerable than he already was...

Augh.... but his head... The pain almost won the argument in his mind before he heard voices above him--some distance off. Gritting his teeth, he sat down in the dirt cross-legged. Judging by the smell on the air, he was either in, or very near the enemy Pack's main territory. The alpha had not excercised his right to slay him when he had surrendered...yesterday, was it? So what then did he keep him alive for? What did he want of him? 

****

Sabrina felt worn out. All day, non stop tending, nursing, boiling, sewing, medicating, checking.... whew! She had only just sat down to rest on a couch in the main room of Den One when she heard a disturbance upstairs, in Timothy's room. Not wasting a second, she was on her feet again and hurrying up the stairs.

She paused at his door and listened, just in case he was in the midst of another fit, but when no further noise reched her ears she slowly turned the knob of his door and entered with a soft knock. "Timothy?" she asked gently, "Are you awake?"

Mariel:

Kieoki hadn't been expecting to run into someone on her way back to camp, let alone someone she didn't know at all. Then again, it wasn't like Kieoki was the social bug of the hour or anything. Kieoki probably looked visibly shaken, and she tried to compose herself as she kept her injured arm facing away from the younger were, not wanting pity or worry from the female. Kieoki nodded hello, deciding not to talk lest her voice fail on her or crack. 

Kieoki ended up turning her eyes away from Chime as she side-stepped the girl and continued back to camp. Kieoki hoped that the were wouldn't come chasing after her as she entered the campgrounds, pausing for a moment to see where everyone was. She frowned at the gathered information, wondering if she should go see what was going on with the two odd scents that were floating around the camp. She decided against it though, because she'd probably just screw everything over. She frowned and shook her head before she sneaked around the one cottage until she hit the window to her room. She dragged it open and silently jumped over the ledge and inside without much sound before she shut her window again. She gritted her teeth in the pain in her arm and peeled off her cloth bandage.

She frowned at the wound, letting her arm hang at her side as she rummaged around in her dresser, muttering to herself about where she kept her thread and needles. Where in the world were they?

Aim: 

Chime watched as Kieoki walked away with no more then a nod, no wonder she didn't know anyone around here. Though it still did bug her that she didn't say anything, not even one word. Was the girl mute? No, she was sure she may of heard her voice before, besides, wouldn't she have tried to use her hands? Chime decided to follow her back to camp, she may not have talked now, but maybe it was because she had to do something.

Chime got back to camp just in time to see Kieoki disappear to the side of a cottage, she ran that way and, again. just in time, saw her jump in a window, probably the one that led to her room. Walking over to it, Chime looked in, she seemed to be looking for something. Wanting to look friendly, plus she didn't want to look like a spy, she gently knocked on the window, "Hey, you do know you can use the door, right?" She said, looking at the female werewolf, her eyes weren't concerned for the women injury, but they also said she wasn't trying to be rude.

Mariel: 

Kieoki had no idea that Chime had followed her back to her room, let along would knock on her window. She'd expected to be perfectly alone, and so when Chime knocked on the window Kieoki jumped, startled as she spun around to see Chime standing at her window. "I know." Kieoki said curtly, thinking to herself that she was going to have to get curtains for her window now. Lousy nosy people. 

Kieoki frowned and walked over to the window and shoved it open, glaring at Chime a bit as she spoke. "Do you need something?" Kieoki said flatly, not really in the mood to have a nice chat with someone else. On the other-hand though, she was never really in the mood for having a nice chat. She preferred silence to noise. Not the smartest idea to try and come back to camp, now was it?
