The Weird and Wonderful {Tagged}

Volka padded through the trunks of the forest. Spring light filtered through the green canopy above. He felt hungry. Well, not physically hungry. He was hungry for something more sinister. His last two ventures hadn’t resulted in pups. Now, Volka craved that level of pain and pleasure. There had to be a she-wolf that would fulfill his needs around here somewhere. Volka found himself stepping into a clearing. He tilted his head at the large tree in the center. The solitary giant’s barked was all scratched up and no birds seemed to nest in its branches despite the season.

”Strange…” Volka spoke softly to himself as he walked carefully up to the anomaly. He stuck his head forward to inspect the carvings covering the trunk. Could they mean something? This valley was so full of wonder… Volka wondered if many wolves frequented this place or did most feel a general warding to stay away like the birds. The latter seemed more likely so it was unlikely that he’d find a she-wolf here. He turned to leave, but a sound caught his ear and he turned, expecting to find a rabbit. A rabbit would be tasty.

Misty wandered through the forest, where she paused for a bit. She wanted to get something for the pups that grew with every passing day, not to mention herself. Flicking her tail irritably - Spring hadn't blessed her yet - she raised her head to scent. Wolf! Misty hastened forward. A new wolf could mean a new friend! She came to the Adoette tree - one of the places that stood out to her - and saw a lean gray wolf, turning to see her.
"Hello!" Misty greeted cheerily. "I'm Misty. It's nice weather today." She commented, looking at the branches dappling the sun and the new buds on the old tree. She heard the silence of the area - a perfect contrast to the rush of events so far. She'd been swept off her feet, and it was nice to have some calm, now that things were finally settling down. She sat down, feeling with a small flinch the still-icy grass. Curling her tail around her paws and feeling the sun on her back, she was optimistic - both about her life's change and the lean gray wolf. Above her, she could see life, but mostly calm, in a contrast to the numb rush of Winter.

Volka’s eyes widened slightly as a she-wolf pushed through the foliage into view. Well, he certainly hadn’t been expecting that! The she-wolf strolled up to him with a friendly smile. She politely greeted him and gave her name, Misty. She was perfect prey, much preferable to a rabbit. ”Hey,” Volka replied with a friendly smile, ”I’m Volka.”

”It’s nice weather today,” she started making small talk. Volka nodded in agreement. He wasn’t particularly in the mood for small talk. Volka wanted one thing. He wished he was in the Forest of Love so this would all be so much easier, but he get what he wanted in this strange place as well. ”Not quite as nice as you, though,” Volka smiled at her, ”You have no idea how nice it is to meet a friendly face. Today’s been a little rough.” He forced a laugh. Every word worked towards endearing him to Misty. Volka had decided that this personality was not one to waste words. He would be honest and kind.

Volka’s ice blue eyes discreetly combed her form. Her grey pelt had no markings, but that only help show off her slender physique. Not a single scar marred her pelt. That fur seemed so neat without anything to break up it’s flow. So smooth and almost shimmering, it looked amazingly soft. Volka was excited to touch it. Then his eyes met hers. They didn’t stick out from the rest of her pelt very much. It was as if her pelt was tinged blue and wrapped around her pupil. Yet, Volka maintained the eye contact. From what he’d experienced, eye contact always seemed to help connect him and his victims. His current straight-forward personality would appreciate the locked gazes as well.

Misty smiled as this new face approached. She was always happy to see new friends, and if she was honest, the seeds of a crush were starting to plant themselves. His compliment sent a small blush, although her pelt disguised it well. Thank goodness I don't have a white pelt!
"Why was today so rough, if you don't mind me asking?" Misty loved her family, but it would be good to form a connection with this new wolf, who met her eyes squarely. She liked to think that she was sensible - yes, this new wolf would be a good match with her. She hoped that they'd hit it off and that she'd see him more often. Oh, no, it wasn't because she had a small crush on Volka. No, they were merely acquaintances, a relationship that she'd be glad to see deepen as Spring turned to Summer. Misty curled her tail around her paws - a gesture that she always used when nervous - and smiled at Volka. She should've focused on the pups, but her small slice of rebellion from the weeks of the pups brought her a warm bliss inside, which she'd wager would give her a glow through even the harshest storm of Winter.
