In The Shadow Of Evil

[Deleted]

The night was always Bruid's favourite time, the many fusses of day being washed away in the darkness. He fit in a lot better in the dark too, his pelt being mostly a midnight blue tone thanks to his parents. His nose dropped slowly to the ground as he passed wearily under a large, thick oak tree next to a large stone ruin. The brute had wondered what these ruins had been for, assessing their apparent age.

Bruid rolled his thick shoulders, the hulking muscle beneath his fur rippling a little as he did so, easing him up a little for the night drawing in. Silently, the male took a long, solitary breath and exhaled, his shining eyes tracing the waving soft grass tufts before him in the night-time wind. Looking down at his large paws, Bruid flexed them out a little, listening to them crack and ease. That made him smile a little as he took his mind off the large score on the right side of his hind. Whatever shadow creature had attacked him and his parents was capable of a lot... Not anything any living entity could do...

"Slàn agat, Màthair... Athair..." [goodbye, mother... father...] the brute huffed inwardly, vanquishing his smile as he lay himself down under the oak.

Lily was paceing around in the dence undergrowth. Then she stopped and looked back at the ruines, there were rumors about place, that dangerous creatures lived here, and that man had once come.
She stepped out corsiously, and when all four paws were out of the undergrowth a cool breeze drifted over her that made her shiver, "could this place get anymore creepy" she wispered.
She trotted up to the ruines until she was in the centre of the moon lit pavillian.

Venna Layne strolled thru the night. She looked at the beautiful night sky, her bi-color eyes shined in the moonlight. She felt at peace, her black body blended in well in the darkness, she slunk down as she trotted around, trying to cover her legs, where the most color was on her pelt. She smelled around, slightly getting a scent of other wolves near by.

Bruid sighed and stood himself up slowly. It was faint, but he had heard a soft noise shift past him at a distance. His eyes narrowed and he turned, facing the noise's source before his paws would begin to carry his huge body forward. "AYE!" He barked. "Anyb'dy oot there!?" The brute called again. His tone didn't really seem angry, nor was it one that expressed any kind of alarm. His heavy paws carried him onward, further into the unfamiliar ruins of this uncomfortable territory. An unfamiliar scent played with his nose and he raised his head slightly, his brow now furrowed. Friend or foe would be the concern of is next question it seemed.

The shouting mad Lily jump and back down behind a rock.
"Lily stop being an idiot" she wispered to her self, and she stood up again.
"Hello?" She said trying not to sound too threatening, yet slightly assertive.
She carried on walking towards the sound.

Venna perched herself on a dark Boulder, the Boulder was pretty high up and she could see for a distance up here, she laid low, her black sleek fur making perfect camo for this area, she could see a massive wolf in the distance and another wolf approaching what she assumed was a male by his large size, she stayed low on the Boulder, careful not to be spotted, she wondered if they would give her a hard time if they did spot her, she growled to herself.

[Deleted]

Bruid's eyes lit up very slightly at the response he got. A smile split his jaws and he picked up his pace. "Hey!" He barked, his tone having a more enthusiastic rumble to it this time. His heavy paws started in a heavier lope as he began to close the gap between him and the stranger whom had replied. Bruid was indeed a lonely male and had never really had the opportunity to socialise properly. Perhaps now would be a good time to change that...

[annabeth]

It was a male wolf, she sniffed the air. But he wasnt the only one here, she could smell someone else.
"Hey, who are you?" She said just trying to make conversation.
She stopped again and sat down, she couldnt see the wolf properly, he was half in the dark half out , all she saw was a glimpse of midnight blue fur.
Very suspicious, a wolf out in these parts, she thought to herself, but he is probably thinging the same about me.

[Deleted]

Venna didn't move off the rock, she lay very still. They haven't spotted her yet, which was good. As she saw the wolves approaching themselves she wondered what would happen when they got closer to each other, would they try to fight? Why was this massive blue wolf calling to the other? Anything could happen, she pondered on the idea of the Wolves ripping each other apart, she always did like a good show. She seen the wolves getting closer to one another, she could now tell there was a male and female wolf, her eye sight has always been an advantage.

Bruid came to a stop, face to face with the female. He towered tall, wide at his shoulders. "Are ye friendly? A' really cuidnae be daen wi' another bloody nuisance th'now..." He shook his head. Slowly he craned down and around, his nose sniffing intently around the female's paws, picking up her essence from her scent glands and dedicating it to memory.

He looked alightly puzzled for a moment as this scent, now that he had gotten a closer look, was not the only one here. His brow lifted a fraction and his head swiveled. "Sumdy else is here too..." He gruffed, his keen eyes scanning the night arena around him with immense study. Off on the edge of his vision, he was able to draw out the silhouette of the onlooker in the distance. He or she didn't seem to be interfering, and while he or she managed to spike the large brute's nerves, he would let the shady character be until a response was necessary.

[Deleted]

Venna could tell the other wolves could smell her, she started to feel anxious but didn't move yet, should she just run away? Nonsense. She is an evil wolf, who will not flee. But what if the other wolves are good? They would not tolerate evil, what if these two wolves ganged up on her? Oh well, she'd fight to the death if need be. But for now she felt somewhat safe a distance away. And the two wolves just came up to each other and didn't attack each other, maybe they are friendly, maybe they know each other. Either way she is staying put for now, raising her white and purple tribal striped ears to better listen to them

[annabeth]

"Erm, yeah. I guess im a 'friendly' wolf" lily said tilting her head to the side a little "what about you? Friend or foe?"

She could still smell the other wolf, stronger now, as if she was closer to them. It was a female, she could tell that now from being so close to the smell, and they definately werent far away, probably watching them right now.

She looked around at the ruins, they were spooky. But thats what she cane here for, to be spooked.

[Deleted]

Bruid nodded. "Aye, A'm friendly. A'dnae see the point in creatin' misery... However misery stricken A' am..." He released a soft chuckle and sat himself down. That burning feeling in the back of his mind nagging him that someone was eyeing the pair forced a frown on his face and he shook his head, leaning in closely. "Er... Dinnae look now, but A' think we're bein' watched..." He flicked a hark off to the side, directing the female where to look, where he had seen the distant shadow. "...it's on the air tae..." The brute added, shuffling slightly, his tail very slowly swaying back and forth over the top of the grass blades...

[annabeth]

"Yeah, i smelt them. Im glad you did too i was starting to think i was becomeing deleirious."
She sat down too looking over at were he had said at first she saw nothing but then suddenly an ear pricked up and then flattened down again.
"So, whats your name? And where did you get that accent from?" She said tiltingher head a little in the direction of the wolf they could smell, to hint at that she had seen them.

[Deleted]

Venna Layne saw the female turn her head and look directly at her but why didn't she say anything to her? Obviously they weren't vicious or they would have ganged up on her.

She finally rose on her feet, instead of blending in, the moonlight immediately reflected her white back legs with almost glowing purple tribal markings, her neon green front leg stood out like a sore thumb, but she knew they definitely had to see her now, standing on a rock looking down at them with her bi-colored eyes, she leapt off the rock in the opposite direction from them.
