An Underwater Adventure [Duchess/Open]

Pumpkin

[/i] He skipped lightly to the edge of the bank. Each shift in the surface of the water sent a cascade of colors across his eyes. He smiled and slowly padded to the water's edge. His paw glowed slightly as his power activated. A breeze blew from his
right, ruffling the water. Another line of light entered his eyes and he wagged his tail. It had been awhile since he'd seen water. He usually preferred the forests. Today, however, he felt like taking a swim.

Pumpkin sent a thin line of wind across the lake, watching as it created an arrow of ripples that resembled those that followed a thin stick that was pushed along the surface. He controlled the breeze to move in a figure eight. After every rotation, he increased the width of the breeze. The ripples became less defined, until all that was evident of his influence was a slight lapping on the banks.

He continued to watch the effects, before he felt a dreary boredom coming on. Pumpkin stood and stretched, feeling the pull on his muscles. His paw dipped into the water and prepared to dive. Then he noticed eyes watching him. He paused and turned to look at the host of the unpleasant stare.[/ul]

Tyra had been trotting alone around the edge's of the lake and had been enjoying watching fish swim by, as well as swimming, herself. That was, until she spotted a male at the edge as well He was playing with the water as well, or so it seemed to her. Surprised, the striped white she wolf jolted and froze to where she stood. She hadn't frozen like this before, at least not in her memory. Either way, she was staring at him. After her creepy gazing at the male and his curious coat, though hers was no simpler in opinion.

She resorted to watch what he was doing instead. She found the fact that he was able to manipulate the wind.It amazed her, but the male seemed to get bored with his actions. He reacted to her staring faster than she could turn away and they met gazes. Her different colored eyes blinked and she looked away, embarrassed at the fact, that she had been staring at someone for a while. Not only that, oh no, it got worse for the poor she wolf. She just got caught while she did so! She couldn't believe she had even stared!

The white she wolf flinched at the sudden realization and blinked. she unfroze and felt her face heat up. She cleared her throat in an extremely awkward manner and straightened out her composure. She gave him a sheepish smile and shakily slunk over shyly. When she was a few yards away, she gave him an apologetic look and said, "Oh. Um. Sorry for staring at you, hope you'll forget about that. Anyway, um, my name's Tyra. What's yours?" She knew she had stuttered, as well as, mumbled, and rushed her statement. Instead, of it coming out naturally, it was pitiful.

Pumpkin

[/b] He gave her a mischievous grin. His brown and purple eyes searched her own. In a way, they were a lot alike. She had heterochromia and her fur was predominantly white. Pumpkin stood and walked towards her.

Her came up next to her and began to look at her critically, hoping to make her uncomfortable. If she became uncomfortable, he knew that she was not strong enough to be in a band of killers. There was only one flaw in this plan. If she was a good actress, like himself, he would be unable to determine her real feelings. This fact hung on the edge of his mind and Pumpkin solidified his decision. He wouldn't take the chance.

Pumpkin quickly took action. He blew a gust of wind to knock her onto her back and then stood over her, taking the dominant position. "Who are you and what do you want?!" He bared his teeth and growled into her face, practically spitting the words. He wondered what her reaction would be and stared into her eyes.[/ul]

Tyra had grown less shy and straightened herself out and returned to her self-confident, but not cocky demeanor as the wolf seemed friendly. She smirked out of a habit when he commented on his own beauty, typical of wolves. Except, there was something about this male and how he looked at her, that she didn't like. As if on cue, he rushed forward and glared at her, if looks could kill, half the wild prey would be dead at that moment. Inside, she was panicking. What if he killed her?! She was too young to die! Another typical wolf thing!

Except all she could do was continue to stare back into his eyes with a cold glare. She really hoped that he couldn't see through her facade. She nearly nearly flinched, but instead tilted her head back away from his because his breath on her maw was getting quite annoying. Was that the spark? For the fact that she was shoved to the ground with his power of current? She grunted as her back hit the ground and was about to scramble to her feet and defend herself, with a sudden change of attitude, when the male stood over her.

She snarled at him and bared her pale white teeth. Tyra glared at him. "I told you my name! What do I want!? That's real funny coming from the wolf who has me pinned to the ground!" Normally, on any other day she probably would've groveled at their paws and push herself into the dirt to avoid a vicious beating. Not today. Today, Tyra wanted to be worth something. Maybe forever. With that thought in her head, she lifted all four of her legs and planted them beneath Pumpkin's belly, and as fast as she could, shoved him away and scrambled to her paws and met his different colored eyes with her own.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin let her push him off and stepped back. She stared directly into his eyes. His eyes narrowed and his hackles raised. If this was going to turn into a fight, he was not going to be caught off guard. He lowered his center of gravity in preparation for a quick jump. The mark on his paw also started to glow as he conjured a breeze that encircled the two wolves. Pumpkin gave a low growl but kept his teeth hidden. Although this wolf had shoved him, her actions were warranted. He had acted hastily. That, however, was also warranted seeing how wolves in the valley were highly suspicious nowadays. It was impossible to tell what affiliation others were.

Even if Pumpkin was wrong and this female wasn't a threat, there was no way he was going to admit that. He growled again and prepared to strike. "Well, Tyra, if that's your real name, I happen to find it suspicious when someone admits to staring at me." Feeling that his words were explanation enough, Pumpkin launched himself. At first it looked like he was going to attack her directly, but a gust of wind pushed Pumpkin from behind and he flew over her. Her landed a little rocky, but quickly recovered and spun, flinging himself at her back.

She smirked and let out a breath as she lowed her head to keep her throat in a safer spot. "Happens to be, it is my name. And well, I suppose I was staring because I could hardly believe that something could be so hideous." She said and laughed. When he seemed to prepare for an attack against her, she dug her claws into the ground, but caught his trick as he lifted into the air. She made a low barking noise to scold herself for her own stupidity and tried her best to spin around to meet her attacker.

She didn't quite get a full turn in and felt the white male hit her shoulder. She stumbled and slid closer to the ground, slightly worn out, never having fought before. She felt a growl rumble in her throat and she snapped her jaws at his shoulder as she struggled to get up. Him having a power was such a disadvantage to her, he could do more than Tyra and that made her have to work three times harder. In the back of her mind, a pup voice screamed, NO FAIR! Nonetheless, she had to keep trying to overcome him.

OOC; Should we get a mod or....?)

[6dewdrops]

(Yeah. If you want to snag a mod, that would be cool.)

Pumpkin

Pumpkin jumped back, growling and bearing his teeth. "Yeah right. Your name is as much 'Tyra' as mine is 'White Magic.'" He made some quick maneuvers to confuse her and darted into her face. He feinted right and ran to her left. As he rounded her side, he let a gust of wind spray water over her body, hoping to temporarily blind her. In her moment of weakness, Pumpkin would shoot forward and take a hold of her hind leg. Although he was not overly large, he hoped to use his force to pull her onto her back, where she would reveal her vulnerable underside.
