The Plan Begins...

[iivie]

K y r i o u s & M a n i x ; ;


The two males stalked across the land, stomachs just inches above the ground, as they made their way silently, secretively into the eastern wolf pack's territory. They had entered this land many, many times, they were starting to remember it well. Only once had they been caught, but the wolf that had seen them vowed to never tell a soul. Whether she intended to keep that promise was unknown, but they weren't bothered by it at the least.

Each was drenched, from head to toe, in mud that had just a few moments ago, dried, caking over every individual strand of fur, all the way down to the follicle. This both masked their scent, and hid their identity from unwanted eyes. It also worked well as camouflage, the deep brown blended in perfectly with the earthy tones of the forest. Their every move was planned out, each foot fall carefully silent, as they kept to the shadows, following his scent.

They had been watching him for some time now, waiting for him to be alone. Now he had finally made the mistake of leaving his precious pack members, to go out hunting, early, by himself. The others were probably asleep, and he was pretty far from the den, which only made their job easier. Side by side, they moved forward slowly, keeping their distance. The alpha male wasn't in sight, but they knew where he was, and they knew where he was heading. The meadow. Just outside of the pine forest, the land opened and stretched into a vast meadow of grasses and wild flowers. Ideal for hunting rabbit and deer.

Often they had followed him this way, where he stopped to hunt here, or just at the edge of the forest where the trees began to thin. When the trees did thin, the two males could now see the faint outline of the alpha male, a dark silhouette in the distance. The rising sun sent more shadows crisscrossing the land, providing even more hiding places for the intruders. Kyrious stopped, ducking even closer to the ground, his brother and the others paused to the do the same. His eyes followed Arctic as he passed through the last of the trees and out into the meadow. He walked through the sheet of sunlight, disappearing from their view quickly, indicating that it was time to move forward again. Taking up the lead, he lifted his body just a bit from the earth, and began to stalk forward once again. The others following just behind him.

His eyes darted forward, making sure to step in each shadow, keeping out of as many rays of sunlight as he possibly could. His paws dodged whichever few crisp leaves, left from the passing autumn, that he could see, noting that one small mistake could ruin the plan. Manix copied, step for step, checking every so often for any unwanted scents or sudden noises. So far, there hadn't been any. That was a good sign. They had to make sure that Arctic was truly alone. They already had a tough time finding him away from Alei. Ky grimaced at the thought of the two together. He hadn't known his sister very long, but something about the two being so close, so fast pulled at his heart. It messed with his emotions and temper, and that he couldn't handle. He wouldn't handle it. That's why he had put it in his own hands to take care of it himself. It would all be over soon...

.:Odette & Oblivion:.

Paws carried the white green eyed fem Odette across the land she had rolled in mud masking her scent completely waiting only moment for the mud to dry out into the suns golden rays. She was low to the ground blending in with silent camoflauge she wondered which direction Ky and Manix had went. Something had been off about Ky since he got back from gettting that deer it was like he had a grudge of sometype and it was as if they were on a killing mission this though caused things low in her abdomen to clinch in fear and excitement but more along the lines of fear. Did Manix know about this so called plan that they didnt. She didnt like being kept out of t hings and by the look on her sister facade neither did she all they were told was to separate and meet the alpha or something like that Odette wasnt one for listening more thinking in her line of thought she was the brains and Oblivion was the muscle. Odette was bound and determined in this so called plan or was it a murder mission the marauders band out for blood or a grudge of brotherly protection for his sister. Whatever she had got into this she couldnt get out she would be strong for this mini pack of hers.

Oblivion the black fae with the piercing blue eyes stalked silently blending in with the surrounding trees. Her blue eyes taking notic of every little detail they were the silent killers the muscle rippled beneath her mud cake onyx pelt. Her nose was like a built in tracking the device the alpha had not bothered to hide his scent which made her move faster with Odette the brains and she the muscle and brawn she went faster. She was prepared for anything she hadnt had anything decent to kill in awhile and she was wanting some blood she was just told to track down the alpha and that was what they were doing. She growled low in her tones why were they being used for some selfish grudge this was Kys idea and Oblivion did not have a good feeling about this and it cause her to seethe in her anger. Her blue eyes were called as she got faster still making no sound and soon she stopped with Odette right on her ass. There he was sure enough the alpha the white brute she could see Ky and Manix off in the distance good for them to take the other direction now where was the other member. Her blue optics searched for him and sighed as no sign. So she waited for the signal patiently even though she was one of the most impatient wolves ever.

.:':.Arctic.:':.

Indeed Arctic had been out hunting on this day. He left Alei behind in the cave so that she could sleep in. Their supplies were low and so the Alpha took it upon himself to replenish them. He would be in search of the biggest Elk that his eyes ever saw, spoken of only out of boredom and the desire to start a rumor. But it just so happens that the male saw the walking meat store himself and it would make the winter for his pack easier to survive if he could only bag it.

He was completely unaware of the land violators that were now invading his territory since they masked themselves with mud. Later he would chastise himself for now knowing but for now he was enveloped with the eagerness to snag that Elk.

What Arctic was also oblivious to was the fact that Alei had met her brothers in this same area. He also didn't know that they were watching him and Alei when they were together and even when they were apart. It was vital information that his potential mate kept from him, information that could cost him his life. And if he survived complications between the Alpha and his soon-to-be mate, as soon as he found the nerve and the right time to ask her, would rear its ugly head.

But no... All of this was a puzzle waiting to be put together and for now the male simply desired to stalk his prey. The only thing that he had on his mind right now was the survival of his pack, such was the good heart that Arctic possessed.

[£€G@©Ÿ]

The mud feels strange on his usually well-groomed fur and he looks at himself again. On his face is a mask of disgust as the icky brown that he had rubbed all over himself begins to dry. Truely, he does blend in with the earthy tones around the forest, and it does mask his scent. It just doesn't feel right. After taking one last, disgusted look at himself, he crouches down. Muscles are tensed as he moves forward, belly low like had been taught... or rather, taught himself. His eyes are narrowed as he moves forward, following the scent of a wolf that he had been taught to find. He doesn't know why they are supposed to find this alpha, because no one had told him. But he follows it anyway, unquestioningly, paws as slient as he can make them. He raises his head, just above a hill, and the scent hits him again, stronger this time, to show that he is gaining on the alpha. As he looks above the hill, he sees the white alpha and Ky and Manix, also coated in mud. He looks back down at himself, tail flicking. It will be hard to get the wet dirt off of him. He grimaces before looking back at the others. He figures that this is as good a time to ask what they are doing as any. But then he spots the other wolves, Odette and Oblivion. Tango decides it might be better to ask them, in case he annoys Ky and Manix, whom he thinks are leading this.. thing, whatever it is. Slowly, carefully, he moves over to the wolves, ears slightly pulled back and tail slightly between his legs. He looks at them and notices that Oblivion is busy, to he decides to ask Odette. His voice betrays his nervousness as he whispers: Um... Odette, do you know what we are... um... doing?

Kyrious looked to Manix, who had broken away from him only a few short moments ago, to head in another direction. They would create a wide circle around the alpha male, then slowly close it in as they got closer to the meadow. But at the moment, they had stopped again. Manix looked back at him, waiting for the signal to walk forward. Kyrious didn't give it, instead it flicked his tail toward their newest member who had headed toward Odette and Oblivion. Manix nodded, and slinked over toward the male.

Kyrious headed for Odette and Oblivion. They hadn't had enough time to explain their full plan since it had been so early, and the alpha male and left so quickly. They didn't need to waste any time. Now, they would make this quick, explaining the full plan to each wolf carefully. "Manix, you keep watch, head forward and let us know if he makes any sudden unexpected movements, or if he starts his hunt before I'm done explaining." He kept his voice low, a mere whisper, but it was loud enough to be heard among the others.

Manix nodded, obeying instantly as he crept away, heading for the thinning trees to keep watch. Kyrious didn't bother to watch him slink away into the shadows, instead he kept his eyes on the others and began to explain rapidly. "Alright, we'll circle around him, Odette and Oblivion, you take that side." He turned toward the opposite side of them, where the trees wrapped around, so that they could see the alpha from the other side, just across the meadow. He turned to the male, "You'll attack from the right, while Manix takes the left, I'll head from behind. We'll need to capture him and take him out of this territory. They will be no blood shed. Not until we're over the border." He turned his blood red eyes back to Oblivion, "Ready?"

.:Odette & Oblivion:.

Odette was keeping back minding her own business when she heard her name being called. She turned back to see the new recruit he was nice however she had yet to learn his name for she had not been there when he came to Ky and Manix she had been out hunting but she had seen him with them when they entered the land. He was alittle bit shy she feared in her own personal opinion but now was not the time to be social they had to keep very quiet bad things happened when the plan fell apart. She didnt mind being here she actually sort of liked it and she was here for her sister not Ky she liked Manix as well and felt they shared some sort of connection or so she hoped. She looked at the brute and smiled " I have absolutely positively no idea" she said wondering how she could act all cheery when they were out to kill someone. She rolled her eyes and turned her eyes back to Manix and Ky who were making their way silenly back over to them which made her banner wave slightly. She listened ever intently as Ky voiced his plans and she nodded time to get to business and get her head in the game. With him done she followed her sister off making a wide circle cutting off the Alphas means of escape merely subdue him drag him over the border and then more than likely kill him which actually didnt bother her as much as she figured.

Oblivion

The blue eyes were cold and watching the white brute all alone in his piqued interests in hunting to bad this would be his last time at life. Sounds made her turn back to her sister and the new brute and her harks plastered to her harks "shh be quiet you'll ruin our positions" she said. She looked at them a cold icy glare and then turned to more noise she heard it was Manix and Ky maybe they were coming up to brief them on their plan good now he wasnt so selfish in her thoughts. When he spoke she nodded grimly "Ready" she said with a sadistic smile and took off silently with Odette hot on her tail they moved quickly yet silently makign a wide arch around Arctic and then she stopped. Getting low to the ground operation was in and she was ready and growing impatient ready for the blood shed ready for anything. She was restless and watched the brute so they attack and drag him out and then possibly kill him if that is what Ky wants.

[Arctic Fang]

.:':.Arctic.:':.

The male Alpha was completely unaware...

He did however feel 'something' but attributed it to the prey that he was about to take down. The thrill of the hunt had now taken over his body, blood-thirst and lust now ran through his veins. Lowly he crouched until he was about to strike.

The time was now to deal a death blow to the Elk. Any second he would pounce into action!

[£€G@©Ÿ]

He shrugs, but then Ky walks over to them. He listens to the plan, nodding as he receives his directions. He nods. He runs the plan over in his head as he heads off towards the right. As he reache the other side of the clearing, he watches Manix off to the left. Then he looks back at Ky, watching for the sign to attack. He breathes a soft sigh of relief, as he remembers, no bloodshed. He doesn't like seeing blood being shed, and he shivers. He closes his eyes for a moment, forcing himself to calm down. He licks his lips and takes a deep breath, looking back at the Alpha, who is now stalking the elk.

OOC: no muse, for some reason

[iivie]

K y r i o u s & M a n i x ; ;

Kyrious watched as the others left to take their positions, then he too turned around to catch up with Manix. Just as he began stalking forward, he saw Manix give the signal. The alpha had located the elk and would begin his hunt soon. Kyrious quickened his pace, keeping a bit of distance between him and his brother as he reached the thinning trees. From this angle, he could see the places where his companions would be hiding, even though he couldn't see them through the thick shadows and bushes. That was a good sign. That way he knew they alpha wouldn't be able to see them either.

He turned to Manix, nodded, and both males stepped from the shadows, no longer crouching. This was the signal that told the others to do the same. There would be no where for Arctic to run. They had him surrounded. The two males began racing foward, not paying attention to see if their comrads were doing the same, like they should be. It was an ambush, the alpha wouldn't even see it coming. Their paws darted across the earth lightening fast, as they quickly closed him in.

[£€G@©Ÿ]

And there's the signal! Tango, no matter how reluctant, races out of his hiding spot, tripping on a rock. He lets out an annoyed growl and regains his pace. His eyes lock on the Alpha, and he moves forward on almost silent paws. The wind grabs at his pelt, but it doesn't catch it as he races forwards. Paws skim the ground, barely touching the ground. His tail flys after him in the air, but he hardly feels it. His eyes are narrowed against the wind he is creating, and the sun beats down upon his gray back. Adrenalin races in his blood, and all thought of blood and reluctance is gone.

OOC: I really am sorry for the extremely bad post. I have no muse

[ღE/m/i/l/yღ]

Vel had tracked them through the undergrowth and thorny briars before she found them, her adopted 'band', taking positions around the Integrated Alpha. They had forgot her, or she was just thinking over battle plans. Or something. Whatever, she walked up to Kyrious, cause he seemed to be leading this ambush. What can I do? She hissed, eyeing the strange wolf. She had joined the band only because the chance of attacking for a purpose. If they possibly killed Arctic, they would have his powers. She readied herself, excited, and would be extremely disappointed if Ky told her to leave. She wasn't missing out on this ambush.

She could see Arc through the brambles clearly, his shape easy to point out due to his pelt. She smiled, thankful she had a pelt the colors of brambles and thorns. It did her good, to be able to stalk without her prey noticing./ She imagined killing the Alpha, but she would leave that to Ly or Manix to do- she didn't want to steal the two males limelight. She sighed, waiting for the wolf's orders.

[iivie]

K y r i o u s ; ;

Blood red eyes turned toward the female's sharp hiss. He nodded at her question, "Join the male to the right." He had a feeling that Tango, one of their newest members, would need the extra help. After he dipped his head, he had lunged off, giving the signal the others.

He kept his eyes on the target. Arctic. He noticed the band around his neck, they'd have to get that off. First things first. Surround the target so he had no means of exscape. Then they'd attack, Oblivion, Manix and the new female; Vel, would hold him down while he yanked off the collar. With his powers out his reach, they could fight him easier. Once it was off, they were knock him out and drag him out of the territory, over the border a few feet, out of hearing range from other pack members, then they were torture him...

[Arctic Fang]

.:':.Arctic Fang, the Almighty.:':.

There were other things running through the Guardian's mind as he was about to take the Elk down. He thought about Alei and how he would ask her to be his mate forever. It would be the very next time that he saw her. His desire for her was strong and growing by the day, even more so now that the pup seemed to bring them even closer together, if that were even possible.

He was about to pounce when...

From the corner of his eye he saw them. Immediately he sensed that they were out to get him, just by the evil glint in their eyes. Arctic ran, not that he was a coward but two against one were odds that just weren't in his favor. He wasn't a stupid wolf.

He darted to the left but came to a skidding halt when he noted more wolves. They were hemming him in. The male had time to let out a howl of warning to the nearby 'good' wolves before he would be attacked. Of course he wouldn't go down without a fight.

What did they want? The Alpha wondered if he'd even know or if they would choose to kill him right away. Who were they? Would he ever know? His mind was a jumble of thoughts but the first and foremost was Alei, then his survival and if he was killed he worried about what would happen to her and the pup.

Arc did an 'about face' and ran headlong and straight into Kyrious and Manix with his teeth bared and his throat in a full out growl. He sounded vicious and intimidating, which he was. Arctic bit and clawed anyplace that he could, drawing blood until he had that metallic taste in his mouth.

In the meantime his nose caught another scent. It was on the dogs that he just attacked. Immediately he thought it to be the smell of Alei. But how could that be? He'd never seen these wolves before. What's going on here?!

OOC- Finished!

[iivie]

K y r i o u s & M a n i x ; ;

The blood red eyes never left the target. He watched as the aplha tried to run, but was blocked by Manix. After that, he howled. That wasn't unexpected, but it did make it more dangerous for them. They'd have to knock him out in some way, and soon in case someone had heard and decided to come to his rescue. It wasn't that they couldn't fight, but it would an uneeded battle that he chose to at least try and avvoid at the moment. Any other time would be nice. A little blood spill here and there, more wolves to kill, but right now, he was focused on this wolf and this wolf only. His plan would go the way he wanted.

Arctic turned just as Kyrious and Manix were closing in the gap, and headed straight for Ky. Bad choice. The male tensed, lips curling back to show his fangs, a low growl creeping up his throat. He had to keep quiet, more noise was definitely not needed. "Attack!" He growled through his teeth, still managing to keep his voice a bit low. Manix nodded, leaping onto the alpha's back and tearing him off of his brother, though it was too late to avoid blood shed. The scarlet liquid had already begun to drip through the brute's thick, ebony fur. Kyrious noticed the blood as well, and licked it up quickly to stop any from staining the earth and leaving evidence behind, though the smell of wolf blood had already spilt into the cool morning air. While Manix held Arctic down the best he could, Kyrious ordered Oblivion and and Vel to help.

Manix kept a paw on Arctic's throat, claws daring to peirce through flesh if he tried to howl again. His other paw held down one of forelegs, while the rest of his body rested against his chest and lower stomach. He'd need help holding down his hind legs and the other foreleg though. He waited patiently for the females to step forward and obey his brother's orders and help him.

[ღE/m/i/l/yღ]

Vel occupied the squirming Alpha's legs, so he wouldn't claw Manix or Ky or whoever in the belly, which she knew could be fatal. She nipped him and tortured when necessary, her strong legs keeping his lower body down. She saw Manix have a close enough grip on the band around his neck, and felt a course of satisfaction go through her. This battle would be easily won. She couldn't wait for the moment they could drag him away and possibly kill him. She felt livewires shock her body, making her tremble slightly but she still kept a grip on the struggling Alpha. He doesn't even know what's happening! She thought, thrills racing through her legs, keeping them steady and strong.
