beware the ides of march - Kiche - Mar 15, 2011
beware the ides of march - Aisling - Mar 15, 2011 [dohtml] http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b421/straightoxic/Aisling/aischetable.png) top center no-repeat; background-color: #7f8d99;"> Curled up near a tree near the dens, she felt the calming presence of her friend beside her. His sides heaved as he slept, though Aisling was wide awake. Was it even time to sleep? The girl didn't feel sleepy. Her nostrils flared, taking in the musty, earthy smell of dirt and wood. How could he sleep at a time like this? She was awake. Frowning, the girl slipped past him, rising from her dusty den. Rising from the earth, she shook herself off, finding the brown not very becoming against her creamy white fur. She usually wasn't so picky about her fur, but...She felt icky with the dirt. <b style="color:#75b0bd">"speech."Once she'd throughly brushed the brown muck off of her belly, the pale girl trotted about the small area, her orange eyes taking in every detail. This was her new home, and it renewed the happiness within her every day. Aisling's ears twisted around, listening for signs of her sleeping feline friend. But nothing came to her ears. She'd let him sleep. He could explore on his own or catch up with her later. No matter what, she'd probably know when he awoke. He'd probably wonder where she went. He had no private thoughts, just like she didn't have any either. Her nose poked around the earth, searching for another soul to communicate with. Where was Kiche? Rising up, she gazed around, sniffing the air. Mixed in with the dirt scent was the coppery male's smell. A small smile spread across her face. She wanted to know how he was doing here. She was happy! Why wouldn't he be? <b style="color:#75b0bd">"Kiche!" Aisling wagged her tail as she chased after his scent, leading to a den in the dirt. Cautiously, she bent down, poking her nose into the darkness. beware the ides of march - Kauda - Mar 15, 2011 [dohtml] solid; border-bottom:1px #000000 solid">

OOC: This post of Kauda's will be when she wakes up. Hope nobody minds I throw Jaysyek in there a little bit.. :) If she's not sleeping, let me know and I'll change it. |
bleh, couldn't have him scream with Jayse sleeping, so it'll be a short post xD

Things happened in a blur, too quick for Kiche to react to, it was an overload. First, he saw Aisling's ivory head poke down into the darkness, accompanied by her lovely smile. Was Pangur with her, too? But then, then — there was always a then, wasn't there? A black shape detached itself from the shadows. It was a slap in the face. It was a stab of fear. Panicking, feeling even more trapped in this den-thing than ever before, Kiche bolted out of the den, throwing himself at the mouth, even if it appeared that Aisling was blocking his way.
"Aisling!" he cried, "Aisling we have to go! Get Pangur, we have to get out of here!"
[/dohtml]
Kauda stared at the wolf, whose name she did not know, shock obvious in the way he looked at him and the way her jaw hung open. What was he doing here?! He was in her den! Her pack's den! INTRUDER! she wanted to scream. But, she didn't. There was still that itty bittle speckle of a possibility that he was apart of Grizzly Hollow (only the best pack that Kauda knew!). But, he thought that she was a heathen! Maybe he thought that they were all heathens! If that was the case, then why was he here? Instead of the whole 'intruder' deal, she was about to say 'what are you freaking doing here?'. Unfortunately, that wasn't an option. The wolf uprooted himself from the ground and, hopping over a few sleeping wolves, began to run, taking his little white friend behind him.
No way was Kauda staying inside this den while this was going on. She carefully gave Jayse's fur a quick lick (she was really starting to like the female), and then pushed herself away. Carefully, she stepped over one sleeping wolf and around another. Then, when her path was clear, she darted quickly across the floor and out the den. Outside, the sun was a blinding bright like it had been when she first came out. The wolf was with his friend, growling about someone or something named Pangur. "What are you doing here!?" she barked finally, keeping her voice low until she was far enough away from the den. She shook her head, her eyes filling with curiosity to replace the shock. "Who's Pangur? Is it another wolf?" she asked, tilting her head ever so slightly. Shock still stung at her that the wolf was here (and that he still thought she was a heathen), but she truthfully hoped he wouldn't run away.

As he burst out in to the sunlight, he was monetarily disorientated. He felt as if he was drowning, which way was the surface? What was up? What was out? Driven in his fear-crazed state, Kiche cared only about getting away from the demon at his heels. Had she been following him this whole time? Thrashing his head wildly about, casting glances left and right, he sought madly for an escape. He did not see Aisling topple backwards, and her questions took a few minutes to break through the ruckus in his head. Everything was so loud. His whole body was in commotion and uproar, and of course he had no idea what to do. But she wanted to know why.
"Aisling, she's chasing me! She's after me! She wants to kill me! She's a witch and a heathen and a devil and we have to get away from here! Pangur especially!" His voice was shrill, although hushed and concentrated into a very intense whisper. Abruptly, he swung around to look at Aisling getting up from the ground, wondering when that had happened. Moving towards her, he brushed his snout against hers gently, as if to sooth her. "Aisling she wants to— "
"What are you doing here?"
The question rose with a dark shadow out of the lip of the den, piercing his own words to the back of his throat like a well aimed javelin. His jaw hung open, a scream crawling up his windpipe. But it too was stopped by the terror clogging his throat. Who's Pangur? Is it another wolf? He was too afraid for the righteous anger boiling in his stomach, and ignored it completely. "Aisling!" his voice rose sharply, pleading, "Aisling please, she'll hurt him!" His firebrand eyes sought her amber ones, sparkling pathetically. "Angel." The last syllable trickled out in a half sob.
[/dohtml]
Again, she didn't have time to speak, and merely stood to defend her friend who seemed absolutely terrified. But this wolf was part of Grizzly Hollow. Why would she want to kill him? She seemed just as confused as Aisling was. Without responding to Kauda, she turned to Kiche, who looked close to passing out. This was all too much. The girl began to hyperventilate, moving closer to Kiche attempting to comfort him despite the burning that began to fill her lungs. When Kiche finally finished speaking, things seemed to slow down again, allowing Aisling to breathe. Crouching close to Kiche, she licked his muzzle rhythmically for a moment, trying to comfort him. <b style="color:#75b0bd">"No one's going to hurt Pangur. He's asleep over there..." Her eyes moved towards the tree that she'd moved away from to find that the bobcat had awoken and was now crouched in the tree. "Damn wolves." She heard him mumble.
OOC: Finally Frankie! <3 |
Kauda's bright, beautiful blue eyes widened in shock as the wolf in front of him began to lash out wildly, glancing right and left as he murmured cruel words that made Kauda's eyes cloud up and sting. What did she ever do to him!? She had tried to make friends! She had tried to be nice! The words made her cringe, they were hurtful words, but Kauda tried not to show it.
"I am most certainly not trying to kill you! Either of you!" Kauda finally shouted over the male's frantic voice and the other's soft one. The little female let a long pause accompany her eyes as she glanced to the male, then the female, then to the ground at her paws. "Who - Who's Pangur?" she asked finally, her eyes deciding to try and meet the female's rather than the male's.
Carefully and slowly, Kauda rolled back onto dark haunches and then lowered herself even more, showing to anyone who cared that she was not a threat. She didn't have the slightest bit of idea why this male had such a bad attitude towards her, but she really didn't want it to last much longer. Kauda was generally easy to get along with (if you got her good side) and hated it when people disliked her. Her eyes flickered to the male, dark triangles on the top of her head rising curiously. "Why do you hate me? What did I do to make you so angry?"
Hah. it was funny how innocent she sounded. She was a very devious black wolf, but sitting right here staring up calmly at the male who had sprained her leg weeks ago, she looked so very innocent and sweet, angelic almost. A black angel. Or demon, according to the wolf in front of her. Usually, she didn't go to innocent manner, but she was truly curious towards the male.

Aisling's attempts to calm him, while sweet and well-intended, did little to hurricane of accusatory thoughts and paranoid conclusions. He clamped his eyes shut, trying to get a hold of himself as her rose-colored tongue stroked his muzzle. No one's going to hurt Pangur. Pft! He simply couldn't believe it. There were very bad people out there, godless demons, who wanted very much to hurt God. He had heard his humans talking about them, he had seen them on that box of moving pictures at his house. This black hellion before him was one in the same.
God, Aisling, you're so naive, he thought as her tongue washed over him once more. A single amber eye creaked open as he looked at her wearily. Even though he had told himself that she needed his protection, things felt very backwards, suddenly. Hell, it looked as if she was the one protecting him.. Preposterous. Angel, who was so innocent and so blissfully unaware of the world needed his protection. Some of his fear began to fade, replaced by a hesitant bravery that, if visible, would have appeared to the world as a rabbit poking his head out from its hole. Yes, I have to—
""I am most certainly not trying to kill you! Either of you!"
The rabbit went back inside of the hole. Kiche screamed, and flung himself behind Aisling. Tremors and trepidation racked his body, and in his head he heard only lunatic suspicions that shouted down any reality. It was too loud in his head to hear a single thing Kauda said. He dug his head into Angel's soft white fur, whimpering and whining and keening, unable of any other form of communication. Let her deal with the devil, he thought.
Pangur would protect the both of them, right?
