monster overture - Sibyl - Aug 11, 2012 If this thing ate Borden, Sibyl had no idea how she was supposed to scare it off without getting eaten herself. There was no way she could fight him and win. Outrun him, maybe, but the girls wouldn't be able to run fast enough, nor could she leave them behind. She was simply trapped in the most terrifying staring contest of her life. For whatever reason, the beast took a step back and Sibyl took one herself. She couldn't trust him to just up and leave for good. He must be planning something, a trick, she thought. Sibyl sprung off the ground when a loud snarl roared out from behind her and was facing the other direction when her toes met the ground. She nearly ran away this time, but was thankful to find the scarred white visage of one of the Hollow wolves. Sibyl was no less scared, but thankful. She wasn't entirely confident the woman would be a match for a wolf-eating monster, but more of a match than Sibyl would have been. She heard another snarl, and though she couldn't see past Vlarindara's wide shoulders, the scent that wafted past her was of Kade. The black and white wolves would serve enough to occupy the trespasser, and Sibyl turned her attention back to the pups. Mostly Sibyl just wanted to leave, get out of the way and go hide somewhere, but the girls needed to come with. She pressed her snout first into Calla's side, then Taima's, trying to nudge them into moving. "We need to get out of here, let's go," Sibyl whispered, her voice unsteady with fear. She would try to urge them out of the way, into the bordering trees and away from the impending violence. monster overture - Calla - Aug 11, 2012 [doHTML] A whimper as Sibyl appeared, Calla trying her best to remain hidden in the fur of her elder sibling, trying to appear as small and invisible as she could. Taima would protect them! Right..? A stunted, growling set of words came - and puppy-blue eyes looked up over Taima's hide, focusing on Sibyl. Yay! A hollow wolf.. they'd protect them! Right? She wasn't stupid in the ways of instinct or body language.. and Calla knew instantly that Sibyl, despite being much bigger than them was just as scared. She whimpered again and hunkered down, her tiny needle-like tail curled so far beneath her legs it seemed she didn't HAVE a tail. The snarl that reverberated the air made her yelp and try her best to bury her nose.. and entire muzzle.. or face if she could manage it - under Taima's armpit. If you don't see it, it doesn't exist! She missed the approach of the white mammoth that was the Hollow's highest ranked female aside from mother.. But she didn't miss Sibyls jump of fright.. Which elicited yet another yelp out of her, shivering violently. Oh go away.. go away.. WHERE WAS MOM AND DAD?!?! The third snarl that arrived was a lower tamber, much deeper than the first set of growls.. and one that terrified her. Even as Sibyl began nudging her, CAlla remained as still and curled up as a stone. Her breath was coming in fast, dizzying pants - eyes far too wide, with far too much white showing. Go away go away...She tried to keep her face hidden under her sister.. but if Taima moved, her face would be hidden - under her own paws.. a high pitched keening whine constantly coming from her - almost in a nonstop way.. Each exhalation of breath doing so with the terrified sound. [/doHTML] monster overture - Vlarindara - Aug 15, 2012 [dohtml] The wolf moved and with him - the white behemoth that put it upon herself to protect the packs pups. Vlarindara snarled as she lunged forward, snapping her jaws together with a narrow-eyed warning as Sica took his first step.. The second and third steps were followed with movements of the white wolfs own paws. As he turned to run, racing up the embankment, Vlarindara took off after him. The wolfess did her best to catch up to the male, but like him, she struggled up the embankment, her paws sliding on the slippery surface. Jaws snapped angrily at his heels - ears pinned against her head. If he simply ran out of their territory, that would be enough for her, but Vlarindara wasn't going to give him the chance to return to their lands. She had every intention of well and truly chasing the trespassing wolf not only from the pups general vicinity, but out of Cedarwood forest entirely...Maybe not quite *THAT* far.. but she wanted him OUT. monster overture - Jaysyek - Aug 25, 2012 Sounds good to me Tabs :) Heart pumping wildly, she frantically checked nearby brush for Calla's scent. It was there, and she continued following it with haste. A bark broke her concentration, and she paused, looking back to see Follko. Heaving chest, and rapidly panting breaths she answered,"Something's after the girls." She did not wait for words, or reaction. She had no time, and bolted onward again. Lungs and throat burned in same ache as her limbs. At last she made it to the hillside, where she just spotted her Guardians taking after some strange wolf. Sybil was near her pups, it seemed trying to encourage them away from this place. Mismatched eyes eagerly sought her daughters.With a lowered head, she brushed a noses with Taima, before softly poke Calla's pale form. "Taima, Calla," she breathlessly whispered,"Come, we need to move." She doubted the monster was coming back. One could not be sure, and she wasn't sure how long her sons would stay put. Why had he been here in the first place? Had he tried to take them? She didn't know. A soft whine would plead from within her throat to her youngest daughter. She hated to see fear within her, how it held her so tightly. "I'll carry you," she offered, looming protectively over the two, letting them realize it was okay despite everything else. monster overture - Taima - Aug 28, 2012 "We need to get out of here, let's go." The voice that met her ears when the air went silent for a split second barely reached the girl, but a soft nudge from Sibyl's muzzle only made Taima shift slightly to the side. It wasn't until Jaysyek's voice washed over her that she sprung into action. She blindly scrambled towards her mother's figure, though her eyes were open wide with fear. Desperately she tried to press herself into the leader's lengthy limbs and bury her forehead into the warmth of her ivory coat. She shivered. Mom is here, she told herself. The monster is gone... because Mom is here. monster overture - Follko - Aug 28, 2012 Jayse left the two boys with Follko? While she went to help the girls out? That's what I'm thinking. I will change it if that's not the case. Just tell me. :) [dohtml] Follko's eyes widened when Jaysyek said that Taima and Calla were in danger. Thoughts raced through his mind as he watched his leader sprint away. The two pups whom she'd had brought all the way out here seemed dazed and confused. Follko realized that she didn't want him to follow. She wanted him to stay with the two boys. Even so after realizing the girls were not safe the dark man's fur began to bristle and his legs once again itched to go and tear ass through the woods after whatever monster was attacking the pups. "Well boys you're having an exciting day aren't ya?" Follko gave the two pups a wry smile and sat down near them. He wasn'tsure if he should take them along or bring them back to the den. I think Jaysyek will come back soon. Or at least she'll call us over or something.. He took a few deep breaths trying to release his nerves. The older wolf hoped the two girls were alright, but now he had to watch their siblings. All that went through Follko's head were the bodies of Calla and Taima all mangled up by some bobcat. A shiver went up his spine as Follko looked back into the woods keeping one eye onto his charge. Then after a few minutes he felt only slightly impatient. So the blackish wolf stood up and howled. His howl was a "where is everyone?" howl which was not short but not a long hunting howl either. Lowering his head again Follko waited to hear the answers of his packmates. If anything he just wanted to know where they were. If they were all together someplace then maybe he would bring the two pups to the rest of the pack. The old wolf knew they would be safer with more packmates around, but if the pack was all over the territory he would just sit tight and wait for Jaysyek to get back. monster overture - Borden - Aug 28, 2012 Fffff. Just realized all nine of you guys (powerplayed slightly or not) are in here so... heck. GH thread with ALL the members! The brief howl that sounded out through the Cedarwood reached Borden's ears in a matter of seconds. Follko had not gone too far, but the leader actually hadn't moved much either an hour or so after the duo had disposed of a rogue bobcat on the edges of the territory. One of his rounded-ears twitched and without a second thought, he sounded out a simple song, one that just relayed to the dark-pelted man and the pack that he was about... and within earshot. Why Follko had asked for an attendance 'call' was not well beyond Borden but he was rather glad it was made. He fell silent as he turned about, facing in the direction from where the request had come from, and listened. monster overture - Sibyl - Aug 28, 2012 Sibyl's gentle nudge to the two pups proved useless, as both Taima and Calla were glued in place. Sibyl's heart was beating a more frantic pace, feeling like it would nearly burst from her ribs, at realizing if the girls wouldn't move, she could not, either. A keening whine escaped from her throat, both imploring the children to move and expressing her own anxiety at the situation. Her legs were shaking like four thin saplings in a tornado, and the light sensation in her head made her feel like she was nearly going to pass out. The only thing that prevented her from doing so was remembering how Kiche had fallen unconscious, in his own urine no less, in front of a raging bear. Fainting hadn't helped him then, and it certainly wouldn't help her now. Instead, her tiny body crouched alert beside the pups, as if the small wisp of flesh and blood that made up Sibyl's physique could protect anything. Her ears were folded down against her head and her quivering limbs crouched in anticipation for something. She would stay put, for now, but if the beast returned she would be dragging the girls away by their tails if she had to. She intently listened to the snaps and snarls that were fading into the distance, but a frenzied rustle of leaves and paws drumming against the forest floor were heard. Who could it be? The monster returned? Reinforcements for either side? Her muscles coiled in preparation for action, but the tension released when she saw the snowy pelt and dual hued eyes of Jaysyek make their appearance. Sibyl thanked the stars she had not been eaten. Stepping back, Sibyl allowed the matriarch room to reunite with her daughters. Hopefully she could get them to move where Sibyl had failed. At the least, the two of them could be able to carry them both away without leaving either child behind. Taima was huddled under the pale form of her mother, curled up and whimpering at what Sibyl could only assume was from the threat of the trespasser. Sibyl's head ducked at the acknowledgement Jaysyek cast towards her once the girls were accounted for. This really was the least the little wolf could do, as she couldn't really go storming off after the intruder like the two guardians had. "M-miss Jaysyek, thank goodness you're here." Sibyl squeaked. "Is everyone-" she started, before the seeking howl of Follko interrupted her. Well, he hadn't been eaten, at least. The question of whether Borden, or the boys, had been devoured or not she left unasked. Now was not probably a good time for her to bring the issue up with his mate, when trouble still loomed. Jaysyek didn't need that to worry about, too. Sibyl shook her head, then continued, "I can help... Carry one of them... If you'd like, miss." She glanced down to the two scared little bundles of fur at their feet. monster overture - Jaysyek - Oct 11, 2012 okay I am ending this thread with this since it's been awhile. Her mismatched eyes would again look to the hill, wondering if there was a fight now or if the loner was scarce. She could hardly breath a sigh of relief yet, and calmly titled her head to see Sibyl's tawny mask. She seemed shaken, and yet steady in the way she had answered, and remained with her pups. Swiftly she nodded her head at her subordinate's offer. She could see her daughter were still petrified. "Taima, Sibyl is going to carry you , I"ll be right in front of you with Calla. It's alright, Kade and Vlar are much bigger then him, and everyone else is safe." She bent down, and retrieved Calla by her scruff. It was with a final look to the horizon, and Sibyl's golden gaze she hurried off to where she had left her sons. She couldn't help but think how badly this day could have ended in those quick strides to the hollow tree. |
