Round Stone Crest [M] oh well, this is life

So Miss Vitani has come to cause some trouble by trespassing only a few yards into RSC's borders. This thread was made for @Raela so I would like her to either fight of Vitani or Vitani leaves on her own before other wolves of RSC jump in. Also I guess maybe @Octavius should be tagged for informational purposes..Also tagged for violence and possible gore

darling, looks can kill

Vitani

so now you're dead

After meeting him she had been tracking him. Looking for that golden boy who would prove to be some use to her. He was still young enough to manipulate which was exactly what she needed. His name was non-rememberable since at that moment she had found no use to keeping it in her memory cards. Perhaps she should of but what would the use of his name actually be? She couldn’t just waltz into wherever he was staying and ask for him. The pale coated woman needed to track him down, spot him by his golden looks, and drag him out with her. It would be a nasty process but she would do it anyways. Nothing came easy in life, did it?

Finding herself at the borders of some unknown pack the scent of the boy she was looking for and the scent of someone familiar intermingled in her nose. Of course she didn’t even think twice about who that other familiar scent might belong to. She was having a tunnel vision of getting the young lad and leaving. Maybe she could even turn him into a hostage with hopes of getting something if she returned the boy. She would easily take anything from food to being able to use their hunting grounds. Certainly in these areas the lands were plentiful enough for many to hunt from. Vitani wasn’t interested in hunting/food particularly though. She was more set on causing trouble just for the hell of it.

Before she knew it she was waltzing past the eastern borders. Her tail lashed behind her with lips pulled back. The Lieris was ready for anyone who dared to stop her from taking what was her’s. Picking up pace she kept her nose low but eyes flickered up and down to make sure no one was in her path. While she was well aware of the ratios of pack wolves to lone wolf she had enough ego to not bother with it. Worse case scenario she had to pick a fight or high-tail it out of here if her challenger became too many or too big.

Rarely had her nose ever turned up the scent of a stranger near the pack borders, and yet this is exactly what happened as she tried dutifully to track down some more food for the pack and its growing babies. The scent of the marten was quickly forgotten in favor of investigating the loner who's scent was drifting through their territory. The russet-colored girl's head snapped upward; her nose quivering as it honed in on the direction she had to travel. The woman might have thought to alert the pack to the newcomer's presence, but if this wolf was anything like Kajika she could simply steer it away. Still, the fact that she was already past the border and still moving deeper into the timbers did concern the subordinate some. Kajika had never truly trespassed, only come a bit too close. These musings in mind, she turned, moving at a nervous lope to meet the stranger before she got anywhere near the little ones or her pack mates.  It took only minutes for the Crest wolf to come upon the source of the new scent. Her nose and ears betrayed no others in the vicinity, which she supposed was good news. At least the intruder was alone. Raela came upon her from the side, having been just south of the strange woman when she committed the crime of treading on their land. It was unlikely for the pale woman to have missed Rae's approach, quick as it was and with no energy put into any sort of stealth. Her yellow eyes focused apprehensively on the bright, surprisingly hostile blues that glared right back at her over a pair of gnashing white teeth. Steeling herself as a loyal pack member and a sworn protector of her new family, Raela halted a safe distance away. Her own tail grew rigid; desiring to crawl up over her spine. It would have if she weren't so nervous at this moment. A small part of her optimistic heart hoped that she could stop this woman with conversation – and a dominant posture would help nothing.  At least she had succeeded in halting the woman's advance for the moment. Her ears fought to perk forward as her voice slithered out, stern and serious. “This is Round Stone Crest territory. If I can help you with something I will, but I do ask that you wait at the border.” The words would have been more gentle if the stranger wasn't snarling at her. Still, they would be enough to tell her, just by the woman's reaction, whether or not things could clear peacefully. The unlikeliness of her success in this mission increased the longer she stood there thinking about how this wolf must have scented the borders, and how despite knowing she was in pack lands and before a pack wolf the wrinkles in her muzzle did not smooth out.  Image © Chris Smith Photography Manipulation © Jenandra

            

darling, looks can kill

Vitani

so now you're dead

Something came into her sights and instantly Vitani wasn't pleased. Her tail lashed behind her; even her ears folded back protectively against her crown. "I don't give two flying fucks who lives here you bitch. Get the fuck out of my way. Now." Her teeth were clicked in a warning and she was ready to move again. "You have something I want and I'm determined to get it. Even if I it means I rip your prissy skin off." Growling in low deep tones her teal eyes dared to look with a challenging look at the younger woman before her.

Lashing her tail about she snorted. Maybe she could rile them up enough to cause a fight. "Besides, I think a bitch like yourself should be easy to scare off." A deep fit of dark laughter rumbled out from deep within her chest. Smiling wickedly she stared down the dark coated girl. "Make a move if you think you're strong enough, my darling." Licking her ebony lined lips she waited. Time to defend herself and strike a pose.

Vitani positioned her paws so weight could be distributed evenly throughout her body. Her eyes drew close together with ears atop her head that folded back into her pale crown. Her tail stood out behind her showing she wasn't going anywhere. Vitani was a fighter who was willing to risk everything on her for a good trouble caused. Throw anything her way worth fighting for and she would likely find herself throwing caution to the wind.

"Speech"

Oh no, peace was certainly not in this woman's vocabulary. The wicked snarl on the intruder's face only intensified; the wrinkles multiplying and deepening as those deceptively bright teal eyes glowered straight through her. The words had barely lifted from the dipolmat's tongue when a harsh dismissal practically slapped them out of the sky. Her voice was loud, rough; there was no room for talk here. On top of this, here she was being called a bitch again, just for standing between this creature and her goal, on her lands nonetheless. Every hatred-soaked syllable and cuss pulled her further back in time. Rae had been called all manner of things before entering Minka's care. The vitriol this wraith was spewing only served to remind the russet girl of that. Her look of stern and serious caution melted to shock and disgust. This one had the gall to march right past their borders, right past her to get at whatever it was she wanted. Frankly, there was no bone in her body that wanted to ask what that was. For all she knew, this woman could be after the pups, or a pack mate, and that couldn't stand.  Now a warning growl of her own formed; vibrating her chest and standing her hair on end as her brilliant yellow eyes flashed the challenge right back. Her rigid tail now began curling ever so slowly; the tip edging upward as the loner dared continue insulting her. The Crest subordinate's orange ears rose to meet the accusation; sliding forward into the aggressive position they almost never adopted. The witch was laughing. Now Raela's lips parted to reveal her weapons. Her temper was rising quickly. Every inch of her body was growing hot in response to this obvious threat. She was a sworn defender of this land – everything and everyone in it. Who knew what this bitch would do if she let her go? A dare passed through the stranger's filthy black lips; a dare Raela was ready to take. This was her home and her family, and no one was going to fuck with it. She'd said her piece, and it was thrown back in her face. Guardian or not, she couldn't allow the hag one more step onto this mountain.  Memories of her training with Astraeus flickered alive in her subconscious, breaking the surface only for the briefest of seconds as the two sized each other up. She had to keep from getting in a brawl; had to stay out of her way. The idea of calling the rest of the pack dawned on her, but howling would take too long. Her neck would be exposed to attack the entire time. No, she needed to take care of this herself. Someone would probably hear the commotion or pick up their scents soon anyhow. Both combatants locked themselves into position. The adrenaline in her system felt pent up at this point; ready to fire. The starting bell was the roaring growl that burst from her opened maw as the lithe warrior launched herself forward. She darted to the right, swinging herself around and hoping for a free shot at the older woman's leg. Frustratingly though, her teeth snapped together on air; emitting a sickening click. A miss. The damn bitch had moved, and lucky for her.   Image © Chris Smith Photography Manipulation © Jenandra

            

The pack bitch made a move with a swishing side step the Lieris avoided the woman’s teeth. Snarling wildly it was time the teal eyed woman made her move. Coming from the left side corner at the pack wolf. Opening her jaws she jumped latching onto the woman’s side. Grabbing any skin she could Vitani was looking for blood. Something, anything just to prove to this woman that the pale woman wasn’t a wolf to cross paths with.

Releasing the woman’s side the pale Lieris backed up. Her teeth still bared while her paws found even ground. She wanted the upper hand which meant she needed to be the most prepared. Growling stiffly at the pack wolf in dangerous tones. No one was going to uproot Vitani from her current set goal. The teal eyed woman needed the boy Datura. He was here and she knew it well. His scent lingered. Hell, she had even gone as far to watch and trace him back here. This pack clearly had what she wanted and she wasn’t going to leave without it.

And oh if she did leave without the boy with her, it certainly wouldn’t be the last this wretched hell hole would see of her. Vitani would make sure to try and ruin everyone’s life until Datura was her’s. Maybe she was being possessive but she needed the youth. Without children of her own and no desire to make children of her own stealing a young male was the best she was going to get.

There is a family of deer nearby. Hunt Opportunity

The agouti woman skidded hard; her miss opening up the perfect window for a counter-attack. Her peripherals caught the white wraith's movement; a flash of raging fur off behind her. She should have been running by now, dashing out of the larger wolf's reach before– Her paws kicked into the dirt a moment too late. Adrenaline lit her body in the milliseconds before her side was met with bloodthirsty fangs. The sudden, searing pain forced a yelp from the girl's throat. Her eyes shut tight; her head swinging up as the momentum carried the knives through her skin. The loner's teeth would have been torn right out of Raela's hide if she'd not chosen to let go. The subordinate stumbled, wild yellow eyes assuring her that the assailant was no longer near enough to do further harm. A hurried breath left her lungs as she eyed the other woman. The chemicals coursing through her veins were helping to keep the pain down, but it still fuckin hurt! Just behind her ribs, two lacerations began slowly oozing blood. Thankfully the bitch's front teeth didn't do as much damage as her canines. Though the impulse was there, Raela refused to look at the wound. She needed to keep track of her opponent, and a glance at the damage might only make the pain worse.   Already the demon was steadying herself again, daring her to retaliate. Composing herself, the Crest wolf snarled; releasing a louder growl from between open jaws. Anger was filling her head now. While it had the potential to make the fighter sloppy, it also helped fuel her muscles even more. She needed something more direct this time, something harder to avoid. With a half growl half bark, another charge was made. The memory of her battle with Astraeus was much clearer. On thundering paws she raced to the left and around behind, keeping her head low. The intruder would have to face her, and there was no doubt in the girl's mind that she would. With luck, her superior speed would keep her out of harm's reach until the wolf turned. Then, Raela pivoted, launching herself upward at the junction of the female's leg and her body. That sensitive spot might not have been a damaging blow, but it would sure as hell hurt. Better, was that she had a greater chance at knocking the bitch over or at least weakening her stance. Her teeth closed on flesh, but it was the jabbing force of her muzzle that really mattered.  Image © Chris Smith Photography Manipulation © Jenandra

            

The pack bitch made a move this time that struck the lone wolf hard. Feeling teeth and power against the soft spot of her leg a high pitched yelp came out. "YOU DAMN BITCH!! GET OFF MY LEG!” The jabbing from the darker woman was enough to thoroughly injure that part of Vitani's leg. No way would she be traveling far with ease for a few weeks. When the woman finally released her leg the Lieris was furious. Tani was in no way going to let this woman go unmarked. Before even thinking Vitani made a move. Her jaws open in hopes of catching flesh anywhere from anything. Due to unplanned moves and an injured leg she missed. Teeth capturing nothing but air. Snarling widely the pale Lieris spun around with teeth bared. She needed to plan this out now. Both of them were likely feeling sore and injured. Vitani was mad she hadn't made a move to damage the bitch's neck or other vital part. Instead Vitani was left more vulnerable with a sore leg. Squaring up the best she could she had to remind herself not to put too much pressure on her hind left leg. The last thing she needed was any unneeded extra pain. Growling she clicked her teeth. ”Make another move sunshine, amy you'll knock me down fully this time.” It was display of teasing. Who knew, if this pack wolf did knock Vitani down fully the Lieris may gain an ounce of respect for the woman. Not that she would really show it. ”Speech”

Her path lay unobstructed, and the momentum behind the lither woman's legs carried her right to the spot like a harpoon. The other female's screech was instant and deafening to her sensitive ears. They flattened against the verbal onslaught, registering yet more insults from the witch's filthy mouth. Raela hadn't insulted her once yet, why, she'd even been more courteous than most others would have been to a visibly angry trespasser. Unfortunately it seemed that the white woman wouldn't be toppling over this time; instead stumbling sideways from the impact and the pain. Raela knew better than to hang on for too long. Every second her head stayed here was an invitation for the opponent to whip around and nail her neck. So, her jaws parted without much ceremony; whipping back with the intention of just getting the fuck away before it was too late.  And it couldn't have come sooner. A gaping, roaring maw lashed out; swinging into her face with every possible malicious intent. The agouti woman backpedaled, narrowly avoiding the onslaught and hearing the determined but depraved clicks of her challenger. She could have sworn she'd felt the demon's breath on her muzzle. Her mind temporarily sobered both by the close call and her minor success, her pair of sunshine eyes fixated warily on their opponent. The larger wolf was no longer coming for her, choosing instead to once again steady her stance. Raela's mouth hung open slightly, her breath coming a bit heavier from the exertion. It seemed the bitch still wasn't convinced that this wasn't the place for her. Her determination was really something. Another string of words came from her mouth; another line of bait. Neither of them had gone down yet, to be fair. The urge to banter with her rose in Rae's throat, but she thought better of it.  A growl rose instead, propelling her tail as high as it had ever been held. This was her land, and it was time to send a message. She wasn't here to play, she needed this monster off of their mountain and away from her friends. Her full height now realized in bristling fur and a rigid stance, the subordinate readied herself. This would either go very poorly or it would drive the loner off. Against her better judgment and knowing that the larger woman likely outmatched her in strength, Raela aligned herself straight on. She allowed the intruder only a moment to reconsider; her growl growing more intolerant with each passing second. When she did not, the Crest wolf launched her assault. She raced forward, closing the short distance between them with gaping jaws. She meant business. It was terrifying, charging straight at another's poised fangs, but her blood was pumping with the knowledge that if she didn't succeed, the pack was in real danger. At the last moment the russet-coated girl reared up, growling and snapping as she tried to get around the other's teeth and at the fur of her neck. Her paws rose to defend her chest, ready to wrestle the evil creature into submission.  Image © Chris Smith Photography Manipulation © Jenandra

            

So both ear damage and submission has been allowed by Jenandra/@Raela Let me know if anything needs to be changed.

Perhaps being ready for the woman's attack was her only saving grace. The darker woman got a momentarily hold onto Vitani's scruff but no way was she going down like that. Taking a dangerous move she reached her neck out nipping the woman's ear harshly. That wasn't her only target of course. She was looking to force this woman down. Knock her stupid pack ego down just a peg. If someone hadn't put this woman in place within her lifespan than Vitani was gonna make sure she would put this woman in place. Show her that not all lone wolves were weak individuals. Opening her jaws the pale woman searched for the scruff of the pack wolf. This would be her last blow before leaving. The golden yearling she came for wasn't even worth the damage she had gone through already. Growling widely Vitani's jaws closed in on the neck. Enough to take control but not enough to puncture anything. Her tail went up high above her pack. She was daring this woman to make a move. With the Lieris' having Raela's neck in her jaws it would be easy to severely injure the woman. All it would take would be one dump move. Moving into fully force the woman Vitani slowly added pressure downwards. Seeking to see the woman on the ground was Vitani's goal. Things would be much simpler if the woman simply agree this time. The fight was over. Mentally the pale woman was calling herself a winner. What embarrassment would it be for Raele to be found beat up by a lone wolf. The thought simply made Vitani's mind scream with power. ”Speech”
