Diamond;

Gracefully walking among the red autumn leaves, a large tree stands in front of the night colored she-wolf as she gazes to her surroundings briefly before stopping in front of the massive tree. She hums a quiet song to herself as she examines the strange adoette tree, its carvings peculiar to the eye as her own clear colored orbs examine each carving. As she gazes she would take a mental note of the silence, making sure that she would be prepared for any sudden noise or movement.

Once she was slightly comfortable with her surroundings, the female looks up at the tree to see a large branch she could hop on. She takes note of her surroundings once more before jumping onto the tree and up a couple of branches, not too far off from the ground but not too close for any would be predator to easily jump and surprise her.

She she lowers her front half of her body and stretches her arms out while her rump sticks up, only to lie down and rest her head on top of her arms as she adjusts herself to rest. She figured the spot she chose was a decent spot, and she had not slept on a tree in awhile, apart from that this area was new to her.

As she slowly closes her eyes to hopefully drift into sleep, her mind sets on thinking of her sisters. She groans quietly of the thought, she was trying to get a decent nap, not get sadden of the thought of her absent sisters. Her eyes peek open to look at her surroundings, the quiet ambiance still lingering about. She sighs softly, the dread of feeling alone without her relatives or at least someone she could relate to started kicking in. She could meet a wolf, but no one would understand the way she feels, the way she feels the need to have to hide her family away from society by going away from them and starting her own life as an evil wolf. Was this a decision she regretted? partially, it was her own selfish desires that drove her to be evil, but that caring part that still lingers deep within her knows that those who are devoted to the evil alliance would kill those who are not evil, and her family is of no exception.

She closes her eyes once more, struggling to get the thoughts of her family out of her head so she could get a decent sleep. After a short while, she does slowly fall into deep sleep, her tail hanging off from the branch as the cool crisp air softly blew at her direction. The sun slowly but not fully set, the sky would go from its red and oranges soon to its purples and blues.

Li

Oh the forests, the adoette tree, it was here that not too long ago he had meet up with his beloved brother. Li often catches himself stepping away from his duties from his pack and into the forests, where he hopes to see his brother. The black furred male would question himself, why would he risk his brother being in danger just to see him?He was a beta of an evil pack, and his brother an alpha of a good one, if they were ever caught together and someone told, there would be trouble surely.

Li huffs quietly, walking cautiously, he was already here, the pack didn't seem to need attending to anyway. The wolf shifted his gaze every now and then to see all the shadows that lied before him as the sun was still visible, so many shadows he could manipulate right now. But as quickly as Li could realize, it was getting dark, and if he didn't find his brother before dark then Li would realize that he wasn't going to find him at all tonight, if his dear brother was to visit, he would most likely be here by sunrise. Although Li would prefer that his brother visited by night, for most likely others would be asleep by then. But Li also knew that evil lurks about past sundown, at least more often than the day, so he would rather his brother rest somewhere safe instead of traveling in such dark hours, especially since his brother couldn't see with perfect clarity like Li can.

After some time of walking as cautiously as he can, Li finds himself in the middle of it all, the adoette tree that lied in front of him. He stands there a few moments, looking to either of his sides to see if he could spot a particular wolf anywhere. He didn't, but it was of little surprise to him. Li sat down on his haunches as he looked down, the sun setting more and more as minutes would go by. He would think to himself, thinking of how careless of a brother he is, expecting for his brother to go all the way from the other side of the valley just to visit him, yet Li didn't make an effort at least once to do the same. He sighs quietly, noting to himself he would make an effort soon if his brother did not come to visit.

He slowly gets up, and slowly walks around the giant tree and would look for some shelter to stay at for the night, he didn't need to sleep, but he didn't come all the way for nothing, he would stay for the night in case his brother did come, and if not then he would hunt for game by sunrise. But as he walks to the other side of the adoette, he spots a fluffy blue tail hanging off from a branch above him, then his gaze spots a she-wolf on top of said branch, resting.

He quirks a brow, mentally questioning himself whether the choice of sleeping on top of a branch was a smart choice or not, you would have to be not clumsy if you were gonna sleep in such a place, or else one would wake up only to find themselves falling to the ground.

Li realized he wouldn't want another wolf around if he was expecting Albus, especially since the last time they encountered one, an evil wolf. Who is to say this she-wolf isn't evil? Li was not willing to take the risk, he would need to get rid of her some kind of way.

Li decided to test his little theory out, he looked to his surroundings, shadows still faintly there. He would use his shadow manipulation and with the shadows of the trees he grabbed a small collective to form one large shadow of a bear. Once satisfied with the master piece he created, he would quietly walk to either side of the branch the she wolf was on, he planned on catching her in case she did fall but would quickly run to either side of the adoette tree so that she would focus on the shadow bear he created. Once he positioned himself, he would look up at the sleeping she-wolf and with his deep voice he snarled angrily and barked loudly, the bark booming in hopes he caught the female by surprise, in which he was ready to make a quick reaction whatever the case may be.

Diamond;

Sleep was just out of reach, her breathing slowed and her body fully relaxed as she could just feel sleep seeping in her body slowly but surely. She must have been so relaxed, because she did not even hear anyone approach whatsoever. She is rudely awakened, just as she had fallen asleep, an intense bark rang through her delicate ears which caused the poor female to literally spring up like how a cat would, falling off the branch she had planned on resting on.

However she is caught by not the ground but by a broad figure, only to quickly be shoved and land on the ground. With her heart racing a mile a minute, her eyes are wide open from the shock, hyperventilating because of the surprise she had just received. As she scrambles her paws to back up against the tree, her vision is immediately met with a large dark bear like creature, her eyes dilated and her heart ached with fear. She was way to scarred to run, her body frozen where she stood, feeling the blood rise to her brain from how fast her heart pounded through her chest. She wasn't thinking straight, but how could she, she was basically scarred to death.

Was this a bad dream? It had to have been, she went to sleep after all. This was surreal to her, and she would now repeatedly repeat "This is just a bad dream, this is just a bad dream, wake up wake up wake up."

Never in her life would she have imagined she would be this scarred, this powerless, she was too scarred to move, and her expression had a shocked looked to it, with eyes widen.

Li

To his partial surprise, his plan had worked, for he successfully awakened the sleeping beauty and managed to make her fall. His large and broad figure caught the she-wolf, quickly tossing her to the side and nearly in front of his shadow creation. He quickly dashes to the side of the tree where he would be unseen for the most part, still having the ability to watch the female as she cowers and shows fear.

He silently snickered to himself, for the she-wolf was so scarred her breathing could be heard a mile away. He watches intently, watching the she-wolf scramble her way to supposed safety, only for the giant tree to block her path. He takes note of how she did not run away in an instant, which made him more eager to shoo her off. He mentally makes the shadow bear step closer to the female, hauntedly before he makes the bear swiftly charge towards the already scarred wolf and leap its way to the wolf, and when it was a mere inch away from the female, the shadow melts its way back on the earth, spreading back to where it originally came from as if the bear-like figure was never there to begin with, as if it was all in her mind.


Once the shadow went back to its roots, Li steps out cautiously, being to the female's side before standing in front of her, a sly toothy smirk on his maw. "What's the matter? Afraid of a little darkness?" He spoke, deep and menacing his voice was, hoping that his figure and voice would aid to potentially scare the she-wolf some more and get her to go away.

Diamond;

Death was around the corner, she believed. Not only did the shadow creature appeared alive and real, but it lunged at her, her body shaking so much she felt as if her insides were falling apart, her life flashing before her very eyes as the creature was mere inches from her face, causing her heart to ache with much pain and her eyes to close tightly. After a few seconds of absolutely nothing happening, the shaking wolf opens her eyes slowly, the creature, no where in sight.


She quickly looks around every where, and to no avail did she spot the bear, which she would mentally thank the goddesses for. She breathes heavily, trying to catch every once of breath she could get all while also trying to calm herself down. She would confirm it in her head that it was a dream, but once again her hearing would fail her and not hear the wolf approaching. She was breathing heavily, so of course she wasn't able to hear all that well.

When the shadow looking figure comes to her view, she quickly holds a sharp breath, her diamond like orbs quickly scanning the large male before her. Her body slowly regained conscience, being able to move even by a little.

Her mind told her that if this was a dream, she had the power to control it, or at least try to. She wasn't afraid of a wolf, no matter the size, for the most part. She bares her teeth to the wolf, though her body still shakes with the fear she still had, and barks out "I am not afraid of you! You are a nightmare I can easily get rid of!"

Still believing this is a nightmare and not reality, Diamond, with her shaky legs, does her best to lift her haunches up and tries to keep a steady figure to her, though she fails horribly.

Li

A dark and sinister chuckle escaped the large male's throat for a brief moment, he could not recollect how much fun taunting a wolf could be, the fear in one's eyes when one would gaze upon the shadowy-like wolf.

Her words came to no surprise to him, she barks of how she did not fear him, but Li knew it as a lie for how her body told her otherwise. Granted, his shadow bear also helped with the fear factor. Though it was unfortunate that the little she-wolf was stubborn and stood her ground, especially if she is able to move, she was able to speak, why couldn't she move either?

He grumbled, a low growl came from him before he barked aggressively at her "I am not one to be easily gotten rid of. It is I on the other hand who can easily get rid of you."

He did not yell, but his voice was stern and aggressive, and his growl continued. He took a couple of steps towards the blue female, looming over her with his large frame as he continued to bare his black as night teeth. It was at this point he did not care if he would have to have personally get rid of her or if she finally fleed, one way or another she was going to leave this place, and Li would only hoped that no blood was involved for his poor younger brother would not be able to bare the sight of blood with Li involved.

Though taunting the female was entertaining to him, he did have all night after all since he was graciously granted the power to not have the need to sleep.

If she would not move, or if she still couldn't due to the fear, then Li would just pick her up himself and get her out of there, though he would be hopeful that she would not try to fight back or with the amount of fear she had she would just pass out and make his job easier.

[Ranger]

Diamond;

Why must she deal with this type of suffering, she wondered, is it because she had decided to become an evil wolf and abandon her dear sisters? She thought it unfair, other wolves decided their alliance and become evil, why must she be the one to suffer such a nightmare, though at the moment she didn't realize there would be plenty of wolves suffering the way she is and perhaps even worse.

His voice once again boomed in her ears, it wasn't loud but the aggressiveness in his voice made her fearful heart ache even more. If this was a nightmare, shouldn't she have woken up by now? Perhaps this was one of those unfortunately long nightmares, she prayed to the goddesses to wake her up now, her heart already ached enough she no longer wanted to deal with this anymore.

This must be a horrible trick from Geist, oh how she was starting to regret her alliance, but perhaps this was a test of sorts? Perhaps this was to see how mentally strong she was to see if she is worthy of being in Geist's alliance, if it was she was failing miserable.

She lowers herself, her voice comes out in a shaky and quiet but loud enough to hear tone "Is this my punishment? Or is this some kind of test of my evilness? Is abandoning my dear sisters not evil enough, Geist?" her eyes avert from thw wolf before her to the ground beneath her "I left my sisters to embrace my inner evil, must I shed blood to be considered an evil?" tears slowly formed and trickled down her cheeks "Is that the only way to stop these nightmares..." she tried to hold in a shaky breath, and refrained from letting more tears run down. Truly she wanted this to end, she just wanted to sleep, now she fears everytime her eyes close she will get this reoccurring nightmare.

Li

"Looks like I gotta move her myself..." Li thought, smacking his lips as the female had simply stood there shaking. The large male takes a step towards her as he thought to move her, but she spoke aloud with her fearful voice. Li stops in his tracks, stiffening up as his ears perk to hear every word that came out of her mouth. She questions herself, and Li is there with a blank expression. Another supposed evil like Li? a wolf who wanted to embrace their supposed inner evil but has yet to shed any blood. Li just slightly raises a brow in confusion, confused if he heard right, confused as to why he even cares if he heard right to begin with. The male shakes his head and takes another step forward, only to once again stop mid-way.

He could hear his brother's voice in his head, to leave the poor girl alone as she's already scared as is. He grumbles at the thought, and he could hear another voice telling him to not care and taunt the female even more, get rid of her for she's in the way. Li groans at the voices in his head, wondering which one he should listen to, but also wondering why he's even stopping to care and wonder what he should do to begin with. "Damn Albus..." Li would say in his head, groaning and grumbling all the while. The more he would think of it, the more pity would grow in his stomach for the female, oh how his claws clenched beneath the dirt from his frustration. For all he knew this she-wolf was putting up an act at the last second in hopes of mercy from him. Oh how this made him angry from the frustration of wondering. What if someone from Midnight Silence saw him give mercy to the she-wolf? Beta or not he'd surely get in trouble.. oh how aggravating.

"Give her a chance." He heard Albus' voice in his head once more, "She's just like you."

"Ughhh!" The beta groaned aloud, "Fine!" he barked to himself. The male looked sternly at the she-wolf, with a demanding voice yet it wasn't as loud or booming as before "Hey, chin up." he spoke, his demeanor less taunting as before "You should know Geist doesn't take pity on anyone.. so quite cryin' already."

The wolf swiftly approaches her face as if nothing, his gaze sternly looking into hers as he lowers his voice but still sounding as stern as ever "You abandoning your dear sisters was completely and only your choice, you joining Geist's alliance was only your choice, quite expecting pity for your decisions."


The wolf backs up from her face, but his gaze still never left hers "You want your nightmares to end? Why don't you do something about it instead of crying to yourself and shaking in fear." he huffs, still feeling a bit irritated he had to tell someone what to do as if they were a child.

"Sacrifices were made.. it's.. impossible to have one.. like family.. and still be evil.." He looks away for a brief moment, trying to get the image if his own family out of his head, though he fails. He shakes his head and once again looks at the female "From the looks of it, you left your family to become evil, because they weren't evil, right? I guess that's obvious.. but you need to get your family out of your head, your choice led you astray from them, they are no longer apart of your life because of your decision. If you love them deeply, forget about them, you're only endangering them if an evil ever finds out about them."

He should be saying this to himself right now, over and over again. Forget about his family, forget about his dear brother.. but he can't it's so hard for him, and he doesn't have a doubt in his mind that it might be hard for the she-wolf too. But maybe, just maybe, they can help each other forget, that's the only way they can protect their family, protect Albus..

It's at this moment he almost forgot he had planned on meeting him here, ah, so much for forgetting about your family.
