Misery Business....(Iivie)

[iivie]

M a n i x ; ;

Manix had braced himself for the move, he knew exactly what was coming. When he was thrown off, he twisted himself in the air, like a cat, landing on his dainty paws. This was where his smaller, slender, feline build came in handy. Lowering his head and flattening his ears, he curled his lips, baring his fangs. A deep growl crept up his throat. Still, a calm, but serious look crossed his face. His feet didn't stay on the ground for long, for she tore across the ground and lunged at him. As she clawed and bit him aimlessly, he could feel that she wasn't really trying to hurt him. He wanted to tell her not to be afraid to hurt him, but that would make it too easy. She had to pass this test on her own. Pressing all four paws against her body, claws tearing past fur, he pushed hard, not throwing her off, but pushing her backward again. This time he kept all four paws against her, so she couldn't kick his belly with her hinds again.

Once they were face to face again, he spoke softly, but with a flirtatious, dangerous growl in his voice. "I'm Manix by the way." He grinned, and lunged for her neck. Thinking hard, he tried to predict her next move, so he could do whatever he could to prevent it from helping her. He guessed she would use her forepaws to push him off, so he removed his claws from her shoulders, and instead clawed into her front legs, pressing them against the ground so she couldn't move them.

K y r i o u s ; ;

Feeling himself being drug, he sunk his teeth in harder, but then he felt his head hitting into something. A rock, maybe. Loosening his grip, he felt her slip away, but he wasn't being slammed against something anymore. He had to be fast, remembering if this was a real battle, if he stayed on the ground too long he would have been slaughtered. Though he couldn't jump up too fast, his head was spinning and that would only add to the dizziness.

Stepping to his paws slowly, he steadied his footing, and spotted the ebony wolf. She'd backed away, and was waiting for his move. It was polite. But not that smart of her. He now had another chance to attack her. Running quickly, he headed straight for her, but instead of jumping on her again, he made a sharp turn. Cutting right past her nose, he dug his enormous front paws into her side, his hinds slashing over her rib cage. With his added weight, and the force of his body against hers, she was knocked onto her side.

Odette

She simply smiled at the growl and the oh so serious of his face. When he came at her again she had been prepared but he didnt make the same mistake twice this time she had actually been pinned. However she wasnt giving up yet and she looked up into his face his just inches apart and she heard him speak and it was almost she swore flirtacious she could help but grin. "Manix so nice to meet I am Odette" she said and her eyes were soft one minute and cold the next. She went for his legs now bowing her head just right so her neck was protected and she bit down on his tiny foreleg and knew it wouldnt take much to snap that petty bone. She used that weakness to get him offf her and with that stood before him a stare down contest of some sort. "So how am I doing so far" she asked panting lightly.

Oblivion

She smiled she knew he was dizzy this was just a test though she had a feeling she should have been trying to tear his throat out but Oblivion honored things and attacking an opponent while they are down wasnt one. She knew she had left herself wide open and she wanted him to attack her which he did quickly bad of him or more like stupid she may even use more force than what she was using she wasnt just another pretty fae she had muscle which was an added necessity and she wasnt that big making her slightly quicker. Sure she left herself wide open and felt the impact of him but she gave him her side and it simply knocked over but she was up in a swirl of dust and teeth. She attacked teeth and claws extended grabbing his shoulder and shaking it vigorously the whole while protecting her neck and keeping her wits about her.

[iivie]

M a n i x ; ;

He saw the smile, and grinned back, his eyes daring her to hurt him. Feeling her teeth grind into his leg, his weight shifted slightly and she jerked away. Now, the two stood, heads lowered, hackles raised, paws apart, muscles tensed, breathing hard, ready for the next move. He stepped forward, begining to circle her, sizing her up, looking for the next place to attack, but making sure to study her actions in case she were to attack first...

He heard her question and grinned again, narrowing his eyes. "Pretty good." He stated simply, nonchalantly. The two continued to circle each other, each a few feet away from the other. "But not good enough..." He taunted, teasingly, playfully... With that, he leapt again, onto her back, teeth heading for the back of her neck, claws snagging through her fur once more. Though this time, he rode on her back just as the ebony wolf had on the caribou. He assumed she would attempt to throw him off, by jumping and kicking and twisting, just as the caribou had. Either that, or she would try and bite his paws, with that in mind, he lowered his forepaws out of her jaw's reach.

Leaning forward he placed his mouth just beside her ear, and whispered, "You won't beat me..." A challenging growl escaped his maw, it was soft, barely audible, for only her to hear. He was hoping to taunt her, to make her angry...


K y r i o u s ; ;

Ky parted his muzzle, snarling as she leapt up and grabbed his shoulder. Seconds went by as he though quickly of what to do next. Yanking his front leg, he tried to jerk from her grip, but her teeth tore at his skin. If he pulled any harder, he'd probably lose more than fur. He wouldn't risk a wound if there was another possible way of getting out a tight hold. Twisting, he cranned his neck over her head. Her neck and face was too out of reach to bite, so he settled for her ear. One of the weakest parts of a canine. His teeth sunk into the soft, thin skin, while reaching for her hind leg with his enormous forepaw. He locked on, his abnormally long claws digging into her skin harder and harder. He pulled, lifting her paw from the ground, causing her to trip.

Looking down at her, he circled, tracing a thin line in the dirt. He placed his paws on her chest and rolled her over harshly, putting all his weight onto he body. "You put up a hell of a good fight." He breathed, catching his breath. A smile crossed his muzzle, as he pressed his hindpaws onto her lower stomach. "Are you ready for the next part of the test?" His grin was playful, yet all the while he remained calm and serious.

[$*CrazyHick*$]

Odette

She was aware of him thats for damn sure. He was quick even though he wasnt a full wolf he was strong like a wolf but cunning like a fox. She smirked and it was teasing like "Pretty good yet not good enough do I have to actually draw blood" she asked curiously after all they didnt give them any guidelines. he was playing with her at the same time and that made her grinned atleast he knew how to have fun and she was seriously she was having fun she hadnt had a good blood tussle in awhile she and Oblivion believed it to be under their ages and only to kill when they fought but this was another thing couldnt kill the testers wouldnt be able to get your result if ya did that. She watched him curiously as he circled her and she swished her tail and then he jumped on her back he knees about bend to his will yet she still stood his weight wasnt bad the nail and teeth in her neck and back were. She grinned of course in this type of situation gravity could be your best friend with that said silently in her mind she did a quick roll over squishing him underneath her own body weight probably knocking the breath from his lungs. She got up and shook her pelt waiting once more for his move or atleast till he got up.

Oblivion

She knew it was coming oh well to late now she felt the teeth shred her ear but she didnt utter no sound. Blood seeped from her ear and she laid on the ground she really hated being dominated but hell she had put up a good fight and she handnt even drew blood yet he had. She grinned "glad to know I could entertain you" she said in fast pants. She looked up at him with blue eyes sure she could respect him now he had earned it that for sure and when he finally let her up she did so returning her own playful grin her ear had stopped bleeding the cut hand been that bad she had been injured worse before. She shook out her pelt and then sat upon her haunches watching carefully "yea lets begin" she said with ease finally her breathing even not in pants.

[iivie]

M a n i x ; ;

He knew this was coming, it was last on his list of predictions. She was smart. He could tell he picked the right female, and he knew Kyrious would assign him her trainer when the time came. Still, he felt the breath being pushed from his lungs when she fell to the ground, rolling on top of him, onto her side, then to her paws. Before even regaining his breath, he pushed himself to his own paws, and studied her while waiting for his breath to return to normal.

Catching his breath, though he was still tired from losing it, he dug his claws into the dirt and leapt again. This time he jumped over her, spinning slightly in the air, to land facing her backside. Jumping around to her side before she could turn her head in his direction, he nipped at her ear, causing her to turn her head to him. Jumping over her side, he nipped at her other ear, then ducked, locking his teeth onto her left hind leg. Each movement was swift, he was quick on his feet as well as his thoughts. He bit down hard, through flesh until he tasted just a bit of blood in his mouth, before letting go, and pushing her onto his side. "Ready?" He asked, grinning softly, and stepping off her.


K y r i o u s ; ;

Sitting in front of the female, he glanced at the other two, watching them tussle. "Could you take us to the pack borders?" He asked.

[$*CrazyHick*$]

Odette

Odette grinned and when he began to use his superior speed she tucked her tail and plastered her ears. She was simply being nipped on all parts of her anatomy this was the end of the test and she couldnt help but grin. Even when he chopped on her legs and pushed her over. She merely looked up at Manix panting hard. She stood up licking her bleeding leg it wasnt that bad and she could put pressure on it atleast it had stop trickling blood. "yea Im ready" she said going to her sister side licking her ear getting a smile from her sister.

Oblivion

Oblivion waited and watched her sister she had atleast been using her brain the fight which was good and made her heart swell with unending joy. Oblivion had been the one to teach Odette her fighting skills so Oblivion was waiting for her sister to one day surpass her which could very well be anyday within these tests. "All or just one" she asked curiously cause to cover all the packs would take weeks and she didnt like weeks the closest wasnt that far away maybe about an hour if they moved fast.

[iivie]

Manix followed Odette, and stood by his brother's side. This was the just the begining, this was playful fighting. This was only the test. Training would be harder. Not just for the females. Blood from all four of them will be spilt. "Just one." Kyrious answered. "On the way, we'll test your loyalty and hunting, and training will begin." Manix grinned, while Kyrious kept his serious expression.

[$*CrazyHick*$]

Odette

She followed after her sister knowing she knew where everything was. Odette was a tracker but she sucked with directions her nose wasnt the best however her hearing was on target. Odette simply nodded to what curious said loyalty wasnt a problem and neither was hunting she could be quiet however he mind calmed when she hunted and she didnt really look for things like other wolves. They were oh so serious all the time and she wondered if they ever let loose and just had fun even Oblivion let loose sometimes and Odette always wished her sister was like she was when she was a pup. She knew where they were headed a light land or perhaps neutral she wouldnt brave the dark territories not yet atleast.

Oblivion

The dark lass lead them to the Celestrial Terrace which was lead by Arctic fang. He must have been busy as she saw no trace of him. She smirked probably all those females after the brute guess it sucked to be an alpha male without a female. "Ok here we are" she said casually sitting down upon her hauches wrapping her tail about her quarters. A loud yawn escaped her maw man this place made her sleep and still sick to her stomach something about this place bother or she was having another one of those gut feelings oh boy oh what fun this was going to be.

[iivie]

On the way both males had stepped back, allowing the females to lead. They talked softly among themselves, so their new soon-to-be clan members wouldn't hear. "You don't have to test their hunting skills." Manix reminded his brother, "I watched them hunt. Perfection." Kyrious nodded. Though he'd like to see for himself, he did believe his brother. "Alright then. We'll just see how this goes then. This is the tricky part, and where your expertise comes in." He gave Manix a grin, with which he rewarded with a quick laugh and smile. Manix knew it was just a nice way of him saying he was stronger than him. Still, it was a compliment and he chose to enjoy it, rather than pick out the bad things from it.

Stealing prey wasn't something they did just for the joy of it. It actually made them seem weak. They could hunt for themselves. This was just a test. Sometimes you need to sneak. To learn these things, you must take risks.

When the two heard that they had arrived, they paused to scent the air and check their surroundings. The land had changed dramatically. Everything here was so bright, so vibrant. Colorful flowers dotted the bright green grass, great leafy trees covered almost the entire sky. Though thin rays of light still streamed through the leaves here and there, dappling the forest floor below. It served for great hiding places, shelter, food, and there were so many scents. Perfect...

Ky immediately began sniffing around, nose just barely above the ground, rummaging through thick clumps of grass, clovers, and flower patches. They'd need something strong to mask their own scents. Honey suckle, tree syrup, onion, anything like that, anything to match their surroundings. Manix looked from the females to his brother, and instead of joining Ky, he swiveled his rather large ears in all directions picking up any slight sounds... His eyes were quick, darting over the land and through the trees, catching the slightest of movements. He served as the lookout, for now while Ky looked for supplies.

[$*CrazyHick*$]

Odette

They had arrived the many scents and sounds caught her attention for on the pack was close second she noticed the brother had kept back from them as they lead the way. Her nostrils flared atleast there was a small herd of deer out in that meadow but they had to keep low and perhaps mask their scent they had done this before when they entered a dark land awhile back when they were mere pups they stole plenty of times but that was just to keep thier pack alive since their father hadnt been doing his job as alpha male. Odette hated him just because he turned bitter after their mothers dead it had all been an accident it couldnt have been helped or could it? Odette shook her head and looked straight at her sister she knew what her sister was thinking there was someone here in the midst wouldnt matter if they did hide their scent they would still see them. Odette sighed and stood "well lets fine some mud" Odette said casually mud was good it had a clean earthy smell to it and she was suddenly it had rained. She went to a small little pool to where the mud and grasses got very boggy then she began to dig this was just outside the border but she felt eyes upon her back and that gave her a bad feeling. She dug and dug until the mud was nice and soupy to where it would cling to their pelts and hide their scent.

Oblivion

She had noticed it before the birds had quieted meaning ssomething was up. Someone else was here she groaned and looked to her sister she knew as well. She looked back to Manix and Ky "if your looking for something to hide scents follow us" she said. The mud thing the first time they did it was an experimentation and it had worked and they atleast got out with their neck intact. She followed down the water line of a creek to where the grasses were squishy good place her sister was smart but being not as small as her sister she let her sister dig as she didnt feel like getting stuck which would kind of suck. After she had finished digging she watched Odette roll around the mud caking her bodice harks and other body part and when she emerged she looked like big ol brownie wolf. Oblivion laughed "nice color" she grinned going in herself masking her scent with ease and emerging an even darker brown. "Well it still works I smell mud thats for damn sure" she said. Neither shook their pelt they would need the excess mud for latter and then the crossed over into enemy territory taking their position one going right an done going left breaking up they began to slowly circle. Neither making a sound not stirring any leaves they got closer and closer odette met her sisters eyes wait for it they seemed to say.

[iivie]

Manix look to Ky as the two females rolled around in the mud. There was only one drawback to this. Mud was messy. That would mean muddy paw prints. The two would have to wipe their paws in the grass and allow the mud to dry and harden, so that it could no longer drip. They'd also have to be extra careful so that it didn't flake off. Other than this, mud was excellent to mask scents and serve as camouflage to their surroundings. Ky noted this all his head, as the two male wolves rolled in some honeysuckle close by, it grew all over and above all it was one of the most noticeable scents around. That, pine and pollen.

They stayed far behind, but still in view of the two female wolves. They could scent another wolf, many other wolves actually. But one above all. It was a fresh scent, and it was close by. The two brothers exchanged another glance, before slinking to the shadows for cover. Still, they kept their eyes on their new recruits, judging them by each move they made. Splitting up was a good move, each took a different direction, but he assumed they would meet up again soon. Manix had seen them use this system when they had hunted. Each took a different direction and leaped at the caribou, one heading for the flank, knocking him off balance, the other for the legs.

Ky's eyes searched through the trees, past the two females, just for a moment, as he tried to seek down the female wolf he had been scenting. There was no sign of movement, no sounds, she wasn't that close. Yet... Still, he smelled her. It didn't worry him so much, it actually added on to the test. Though, it would be hard to pass it, especially since this was just the test, they hadn't even had any training yet. Something told him they wouldn't need as much training though, not as much as a pup or a younger wolf that's for sure.



A l e i ; ;

The Fae made her way through the trees, scenting the air every few minutes for any signs of prey. She wanted to head for the meadow to look for rabbits. Her favorite game. Only because she liked to chase. It was a challenge, and it tested her running skills, which she always practiced. Running was one of her favorite things to do. But for now, she stayed within the comfort of the trees. After all she hadn't been in the pack long, and she was still getting used to the new territory. She turned around to make sure the den was still in sight. It was, but just barely. She hadn't wanted to go too far out, in fear that she might get lost, even though her nose could probably lead her back safely.

Though, with all the floral scents mixed with pine and earth, it was so much harder to scent out the few wolves that belonged in the pack, that would lead her back to the den. So, she wanted to be as careful as possible as to not get lost. That would be embarrassing.

[$*CrazyHick*$]

Odette

Odette kept calm the mud had finally dried even she felt the clay mat up on her paw sure she would now have superb footing the deer getting closer and closer. Odette got lower and lower blending in with the trees of the bark. Then she gave that eye flicker to her sister even though this wolf was close by she could probably get away with it. Odette signaled out a lone doe didnt look very big maybe about two years of age in meant condition meaning she would have to cut out the deers path that had to make quick and simple meaning little blood as possible they would have to pull off a very hard tactic. Odette got as close as she could until she was right on the rump of the doe. She growled low in her throat and startled the poor deer to where it reared in fright bad move for the doe.

Oblivion

She had been waiting patiently her mud dried. Her muscles were itching for some good all muslce rearing. She knew what she had to do make this simple and clean and get out. She waited and watched Odette silently waiting she saw the signal and Odette made the first move shit she wasnt ready yet she had to wing it even when the deer reared in fright Oblivion had a faint vision of her sister being trampled upon. "Shit" Oblivion said burst out of the brush in abrown black streak she was keeping low to the ground until the last possible moment. A fierce growl broke from her throat as she lunged using her back hinds to give her more of a leap. It was a daring move and one false move could mean death for one. Oblivion was sure of herself and her powerful eyes met that of the doe so soft brown and then she felt it her teeth wrapping around the neck and knocking the deer over backward with sheer velocity and momentum. Oblivion held the deer around the throat using a good grip and jerking it hearing the neck break. Oblivion waited looked around that wolf was too close right on their asses.

[iivie]

A l e i ; ;

Alei's ears perked, her head raised and she turned, eyes darting in every direction, glowing with alarm. She had heard hooves in the distance, but that wasn't what had startled her so much. There was something else. The hooves had sped up, abnormally fast, like something was chasing them. She hadn't scented any other wolves from the pack, nor any unfamiliar scents. Then she heard, what she thought had been a growl, but she couldn't be sure.

Both curiosity and her craving for danger, led her farther through the forest. Her paws carried her quickly as she sped up, her long limbs stretching far with each stride. With each landing, she was careful to keep silent, she had the paws of a fox, which made her seem more like a feline, so it was easier for her to keep every step quiet even when landing on crisp, dried leaves. Soon, the smell of blood hit her nose. It was fresh, and the hooves had long ago stopped.


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

The scent was becoming stronger, more noticeable. Both males could now tell that it was in fact another wolf, a female, and judging by the other wolf smells mingling with her fur, they assumed she belonged to this pack. The pack they were now stealing prey from. Shit. Kyrious kept his eyes on the forest in front of him where the two females had disappeared into the shadows. Hopefully they would know what to do. If not, they would have to make sure this wolf didn't see them. If so, they had no choice but to kill her, or capture her.

Manix glanced toward Ky, noting that the look on his face showed him exactly what he had wanted to know. The two were thinking the same thoughts. Now all they could do was wait. Anticipation ran through his body. They were new to this land and already they were so close to blowing their cover. Though, this was part of the test. It had to be done. They had to learn to take risks.

Kyrious felt eyes on him, and he turned to Manix. Seeing the questionable look in his eyes, he nodded, both wolves stalking forward, following the invisible trail the two females had taken, being sure to keep to the shadows. They wanted a closer look, to see what their new soon-to-be members would do when and if the newcomer showed up. They weren't worried in losing the fight, if there was one, it was four against one. A sly smile crossed Ky's face at the thought, as the two females came into sight...

[$*CrazyHick*$]

Odette

She smelt it coming it was definatly female and it smelled of this land. Great cover blow time for plan b. Her sister had already briefed her on the plan and it was simple Odette was to stand out here and act to blow their cover letting the approacher get caught off guard and the Oblivion would attack from behind. It was a put together plan nothing sturdy but it could be and it would have to do for now. Odette ripped off a piece of meat letting the blood coat her maw to make it look like she killed the deer. Since she and her sister scent was mingled as one it would be hard for the coming femme to smell both. Odette growled on purpose challenging whoever was coming she eyed her dark sister and watched as she slid out of sight. Odette scented the air her nostril flaring as her lungs filled with the lands scent she was here and she was coming not like she could do much. Odette has also felt the males prescences and ignored them she had to look guilty and act all innocent like she didnt know nothing about this being someones land it was all an act giving her sister time to attack.

Oblivion

The dark fae had frozen where she stood her nostrils flaring with the femmes prescent great just what she needed they would probably fail as they were well on the verge of ruining their cover. Oblivion spoke quickly to her sister "bloody up your maw make it look like you killed the deer then act all innocent I'll bring up the back and take the wolf by surprise when I give the cue you'll attack otherwise stay where you are giving me time to get around" she said softly. Oblivion then disappeared into the trees doing a wide circle going up behind the femme keeping low and very very silent making not the least bit sound. Her nostrils were flaring and her harks were ever wary of every little detail as well as sound as she followed the trail of the femme soon very soon this would all come to an end whether good or bad noone knew.

[iivie]

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

The two males watched as the females whispered to each other quietly. Neither could make out what they were saying. Still, they observed the two silently, as Odette covered her jaws in blood from the doe, and Oblivion took to the shadows, disspearing even farther into the trees. They could only assume what their plan was. If it was what they had thought it was, it was a very smart decision. Pride shone in Ky's blood red eyes. He'd picked the right members for his clan. Everything was going according to plan. His eyes narrowed as they waited...

A l e i ; ;

Still, Alei could not smell anything unusual. Her eyes shone lavender with confusion, something had to have killed that deer. Unless it just fell over and died from some other injury. She pondered on the thought for a moment, maybe it had... Still, she kept running forward, wanting to see for herself what had happened. She lost all concern of becoming lost from her new home, curiosity so easily took over her. Then, just ahead of her, she noticed a wolf step out of the shadows, slowly meandering right in front of her path. She slowed to a stop just a few feet away, the fur on her neck bristling. She lowered her head, raised her hackles and curled her lips into a snarl, fangs showing threateningly.

Her eyes shone blood red, matching those of Ky, her unknown brother... "Who are you?" She demanded, her voice just on the edge of growling.


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

The males watched as the white she-wolf showed herself. She stood tensed, in front of Odette, teeth showing. They were too far away to see much, just the outline of both female's figures. Enough to watch what they were doing, but not enough to notice any details.
