Coye-Seeking Acceptance Into

[karlavolyn]

Coye came up to a large river. She had been walking for some time now and could use a quick splash. She lowered herself into the quickly flowing water, just stable enough to avoid getting swept away. Her nose was raised in the air, smelling the other wolves who had been there before her. Of all the territories she had found lately, this one seemed like it would work for her. The lands were nice, especially the large river she stood in. Climbing out, she shook her fur and walked no to find the alpha of the territory and ask for acceptence.
ooc; Sorry for the annoying color but I'm having trouble ready the blue.

[Sunstorm]

My sister and I padded through the forest, heading towards the river. She was babbling on about how we should be worrying about the war, and it was, quite frankly, getting on my nerves. She was so....annoying. She was so scared about it, and was wishing that there was some way she could stop it. Like there was any way to stop it! The Lightning wolves were already pissed at us, thanks to my half-brother, Cesaru. Not that I minded. We could take the softies, easy. I wasn't afraid of what was inevitable.

"God, will you shut up, Vada?" I said in exasperation to my younger sister. Well, Theravada wasn't technically younger, but she seemed more childish than me. Her brown eyes flashed with hurt at my snap, although I had no idea why. This was the freakin' Bloodshed, for crying out loudl Sometimes I thought the brown wolf needed to go join those damn Lightning wolves. For real.

"Well, fine," I said in return, twanging in my accent. "But I'm serious. There's no point in this war. If we could all just get along...." Carmina rolled her eyes at me, as I expected. I ignored her, but pricked my brown ears at a splash. We were close to the river, but I smelt a foreign wolf...

Carmina was about to rebuke me, as she often did, but I didn't give her time. "Come on. Someone's here." I sped up, wondering who was there. A loner? Or a wolf from another pack? Of course, my sister would probably ruin everything by being mean to the wolf. If I had had my way, I would have welcomed her. That wouldn't happen, not with my bitchy sister around.

Theravada cut me off, just as I had been about to speak. That pissed me off, and I prepared to snap at her, but I realized that she was right. Someone was here, and it wasn't another Bloodshed wolf. When we broke through the treeline, my amber eyes found the stranger. I growled lowly in warning. Why the hell was there a loner so far in the border line? Didn't she had sense?

I approached the loner, still growling. It was a duty of mine to defend the Pack, regardless of the fact that I was hardly one. So what? I could take her, if it came to that. "Intruder!" I spat accusingly in the loner's direction. I heard Theravada's disapproving sigh beside me, directed towards me, of course, but I ignored her. She was such a softie. She would probably have been all nice to this stranger; not me.

((It's fine))

The fae wouldn't have to look far. Lounging in the grass just a few yards downstream was the male she was looking for. His massive frame was spread out on the bank, his side pressed into the soil and legs laid out in front of him. The trees behind him shaded him with their tall leafy branches, casting a shadow over his dark body. The breeze was nice on the warm spring day; the zephyr blowing past quietly and ruffling his thick black fur. The river beside him flowed smoothly across the flat rocks that composed the bed, gurgling softly as it bubbled over the terrain. His velvety audits twitched every now and then, indicating that he was awake and heard every single movement around him. The soft steps of the female were no exception.

Her pads thumped against the ground, just barely noticeable. His nose wiggled as the scents of the world around him were sucked into his nares. Of all of the unique aromas, that of a rogue female stuck out. Without the slightest hint of his personal scent on her pelt, he knew she was up for the taking. His lips curled slowly into a smile, his lids spreading to reveal deep maroon optics. He lifted his head, then the rest of him until he was on his feet. He shook himself roughly, blades of grass and flecks of dirt freeing themselves from his pelt. He gave a small sigh, then took off slowly in the direction of the smell.

It took him only a couple minutes to reach her. She seemed to be seeking someone as well, walking briskly and glancing around as she moved. He glanced her over as he continued to advance, assessing her attributes like he did all new wolves. She was small and slender, but not weak looking. Her fur was a solid gray with ivory trimmings around the points; nose, ear, tail, legs, etc. She was a lovely looking fae, he concluded, and she appeared just as strong as she was pretty.

Intruder!

A hateful hiss came from a side direction, and he noticed as Carmina and Theravada burst through the trees. He couldn't help but laugh at their hatefulness, and at the way they attempted to defend the pack when they were barely adolescents.

" Calm down Carmina," he said, addressing them first as he reached the three females. " No need to be so harsh toward possible new members..." he added before resting his eyes on the newcomer.

" Evening fae," he greeted as he stopped just a few feet from them. His voice was deep and smooth, but strong and threatening as well. The bass tone only complimented his forbidding appearance; massive and black with maroonish eyes that somewhat resembled dried blood. He held himself tall and straight with dominance, making him seem even taller. " You seem to be looking for someone... the alpha, perhaps?" he rose one brow questioningly.

[Virus]

Laying in wait was a beast of frightful tales, one who's name many a days cringed at the mention. The terror of Bloodshed, the spawn of Satan himself and the devil of the sanctuary. Cesaru, a monster of deep red coloration, almost the hue of blood, the crimson liquid which he ironically desired. Killing at only a year of age had messed with his mind, shadows intertwining his innermost thoughts and screwing them over completely. Cesaru, I suppose you could say, was what you would call a sick fuck. It was because of him that the Lightning wolves were hesitant about accepting the Bloodshed's alliance offer, and it was because of him that females were more hesitant around the Bloodshed lands. A rapist and a murder, a killer and a destroyer. A monster.

He resided in the tinder-ridden brush, pale, luminesant sea-green eyes staring out of the vegetation in curiosity. He was no more than 2 years of age, and yet he had done some of the most unspeakable things already. Cesaru could come off as extremely charming at first, but that was what he used to slip out everything you had from right under your feet. Stealing one life already and forcedly bringing more into this world by age two? This guy was screwed up. His eyes watched the two females whom he recognized as his half-sisters wander through the area, Carmina snapping and bitching at Theravada over and over. It was almost like a pattern; Theravada would say something, overreacting most likely, Carmina would snap back, and Theravada would retort with something to support herself. A smirk crossed Cesaru's dark lips, eyes following the two sisters. He had never met the two before, but now was a good opportunity to acquaint himself with them.

"Ah, hello you two," He said simply, lazily getting up off the ground and shaking the leaves and twigs from his dark fur out. He smiled at his sisters, padding closer. They were so much smaller than him; Cesaru had been a foot taller than them now at least when he was their age. Now, he stood a few inches taller than even Kane. Cesaru's massive size wasn't always a good thing, but what could you do? Shuffling forward with his monster-sized paws, he followed after his half-sisters, wondering what they were doing.
Following his half-sisters, he walked into a clearing with one other female. He smirked to himself, eyeing the female over. Nah, he thought to himself. Not in the mood.

"I don't think we've met, really, but I'm Cesaru. I'm sure you've heard of me," Cesaru said to his half-siblings. He laughed softly to himself, a wicked, twisted smile splaying across his muzzle for a moment. "But yes, I believe you're another one of my mother's litters, si?" He asked, ignoring the other female in the clearing for a moment. If it seemed odd to you that Cesaru was speaking mainly to Carmina and Theravada like this, then now you see Cesaru's a little bit of a nut case.
A masculine scent hit Cesaru's nostrils, and he growled shortly for a minute, ending the sound as a familiar black brute entered the clearing. Trying not to laugh, he bit his lip, turning his head away and looking at the loner female. "Hello there, miss," he greeted her simply, standing back and watching Kane.

[Sunstorm]

'Ah, hello you two.'

I nearly busted out laughing as Theravada jumped--Cesaru had scared the shit out of her. I refrained from it, though, and I turned my head to look up at the wolf I had heard so much about. I smiled at him--I wasn't afraid, not really. I'd heard about what he had done, but I was for the same causes. Death, blood--hey, it was all a part of the Bloodshed lifestyle. One I was sure to fit well into.

'I don't think we've met, really, but I'm Cesaru. I'm sure you've heard of me.'

I nodded. "Of course we've heard of you. Nice to finally meet you, Cesaru." I'd finally got to see him with my own eyes, and the stories weren't lying--he was huge. I didn't know a wolf could be that big!

'But yes, I believe you're another one of my mother's litters, si?'

I nodded again. "Uh-huh, yet another one of her many litters. I'm Carmina." I scowled at my first sentence--It was obvious I didn't like my mother. Never had. I had been very eager to escape from the den, and I haven't seen her since. Like I cared. I'd nearly forgotten to introduce Vada, but she softly added, "And I'm Theravada." She seemed...nervous. I just ignored her.

That was when we had burst into the clearing by the river, and I had spit--figuratively--at the newcomer. I had instantly been rebuked by Kane, who I hadn't seen until now, either.

'Calm down Carmina. No need to be so harsh toward possible new members...'

I scowled again, but I couldn't say anything against Kane. Not unless I wanted to get my ass kicked. I wasn't stupid--I didn't want to get kicked out. "Intruder," I mumbled again, under my breath, and I looked back up at Cesaru. He was ignoring the other two, for the most part, except for a polite 'Hello there, miss.'

Yes, Cesaru had scared the crap outta me, and I knew that Carmina had a hard time not laughing at me, but I didn't pay any attention to her. I was looking over my half-brother with a nervous eye--I had heard alot about him, and, unlike Carmina, I hadn't been impressed. He was the exact kind of wolf that lived up to the Bloodshed stereotype.

I stayed quiet throughout most of it, only softly adding my name after Carmina had given hers. We had stepped into the clearing after that, Carmina snapping at the female, Kane rebuking her. I felt a little smug--not even she would say anything back to the Alpha. I gave a sympathetic glance to the female, as if trying to apologize for my sister's rude behavior. I hated it when she was mean like that to everyone else.

I reluctantly shifted my attention back towards Cesaru, still nervous. Who wouldn't be? I still didn't say anything to him, and I couldn't believe that Carmina was so comfortable around him. She was so wierd.

[Luna]

And then Cesaru arrived.

If anyone could ruin my day, it would be him. The mere sight of him sent waves of anger racing through my veins. My hackles rose involuntarily and I emitted a low, unpleased growl. My optics paused on him as he addressed his sisters, glancing over him massive frame with pure malicious fury. Everything in me wanted to lash out and kill him right then and there, but I knew it wasn't wise. If I didn't know that there were benefits to keeping him I would have killed him the first time he'd defied me; in his mother's den when he was but a few weeks old. He was a strong wolf though, and with war coming we needed more wolves like him and me around. I supposed I'd taken Zorai's advice; even if he was a trouble-maker, his benefits outweighed his vices.

That didn't mean I had to like him though. Nor did it mean that his wicked behavior would go unpunished. Although I myself enjoyed a little murder every now and then, I knew that killing another alpha's son was a foolish move. I was almost set on demoted him to the embarrassing rank of Omega at the next pack meeting. All I needed was Masquerade's opinion to decide.

He glanced at me after a minute, watching as if anticipating my next move. I'd admit that it got under my skin, but I tried to ignore him and look down at the smaller Carmina.

Uh-huh, yet another one of her many litters. I'm Carmina.

I snorted softly in disapproval. What was it with these pups? Many litters? If I counted right, Tesevix had only produced two litters of pups... Plus it was her job. I myself knew that it was easy to dislike Tess, but I couldn't understand why all of her offspring seemed to hate her.
" Ungrateful pieces of shit," I mumbled under my breath, not nearly loud enough for any of them to hear.

Intruder...

Her face twisted into a scowl as she looked at me, and I rolled my eyes at her.
" Figures. Seems like all of Tesevix's pups turn out to be ungrateful bitches... I guess you, Carmina are no different," I growled. Although I loved her like a daughter, even Vesetai was a bitch at heart.

I let my optics slide to Cesaru again, just as his teeth slipped over his lip, holding back something. My audits flicked back angrily as I assumed he was either holding back laughter, or some insult that would be directed at me. I could've been completely wrong, but I convinced myself otherwise; it gave me a reason to insult him. That, and the fact that he knew not to touch me. Any retaliation from a wolf with his reputation would have the entire pack biting at his heels.

" I'm sorry about the... welcoming, party," I said, showing a face of disgust as I spoke. " It seems that our breeder has a thing with creating offspring like him... Oh, and there's no need to pay any attention to that pile of shit there... He's not worth the ground we walk on," I added, hissing the last part and I glared at Cesaru. Oh yeah, I was definitely going to demote him. Insulting him was just too much fun. I smirked as I looked back at the female. " I'm the alpha Kane... I'm sure you've gathered the names of the others," I said. All of them had already introduced themselves, even if it wasn't directed at the newcomer.[/color]

[karlavolyn]

Coye hadn't been the least bit startled by the wolf who had hissed at her. She could tell that there was no way they would fight her. This notion was quickly proved when the alpha appeared, telling the wolf to back off. She puffed out her chest and made herdelf look confident as she spoke. "Yes, I've gathered the names. I'm Coye. It's nice to meet you." She looked him up and down. He was strong, and handsome, especially those maroon colored eyes. She grinned before she spoke again. "I've been looking for a pack and aside from the less than friendly run-in" She looked over to the wolf who had threatened her then continued "this seems like a wonderful pack." Although the wolf's clear rudeness to her pissed her off, she enjoyed that the pack was tough, unlike some of the other wolves she had met in other packs.

[Virus]

Kane looked about ready to take a bite out of me. I was still biting my lip, trying to keep from laughing at how ridiculous his growling and glares looked. Sure, to someone else the growl and glare might have them rolling in their own shit on the ground, but not Cesaru. I thought the glare he shot me was hysterical; being able to get such a 'monster' of a brute worked up was quite a feat. If he was the beast he thought he was, he wouldn't be getting so worked up. Yes, you can be irritated, but the fact that a two year old is getting under his skin? Success.

Carmina didn't seem at all scared by me, something that kind of surprised me. I raised my brow at her, shifting my weight so I looked slightly more relaxed, though giving off the same aura that said, "I could kill you instantly if I wanted to." I wasn't one to be messed with, and though Carmina I knew was just being ignorant, I couldn't help but chuckle at her. "Ah, Carmina, it's not wise to be so comfortable around a wolf who had killed at age one, raping six months later." I mumbled to her, leaning down and saying it softly in her ear. I rose back up to my full height, body in a slightly protective stance over Carmina and Theravada. The newer female was snarling at my two half-sisters, and that kind of turned me on, however I knew that I had to at least act like she wasn't okay in my terms. I lowered my head and let out a slow, deep growl, just a warning not to touch my half-sisters. Through my peripheral vision I saw Carmina look up at me, and I couldn't help but feel somewhat proud I was both her and Vada's older brother.

She spoke of my mother as if she hated her, however, and I couldn't let that go unnoticed. "Tesevix breeds strong wolves, you shouldn't speak too harshly of her." Wow, me defending my mother? Who would've thunk it. I still somewhat loved her, she wasn't the best mom in the world, but she was my mom. Not to mention she was hot.
Kane began hissing insults at me, and I laughed softly. "Ah, Kane, I can only imagine what a brute like you could do to a brute like me." I strode forward a few paces, my face looking him over. "Only the head honcho could do me harm, only a man like you, oh master." I smirked, bowing to him in a mocking manner. Oh, I was gonna get scolded for this. But then again? It's not like anyone could touch me. They did, and they're skull would be cracked. Kane didn't scare me in the least bit, and he knew it, too. He could demote me and attempt to exile me all he wanted, but with wolves like Carmina, Taydin and Kade on my heels, among others that I was sure would come, Kane wouldn't touch me. He knew I was too much of a threat, and that if I joined Shadow, him and his pack of pussies would all be screwed.

[Sunstorm]

'Ah, Carmina, it's not wise to be so comfortable around a wolf who had killed at age one, raping six months later.'

My eyes widened slightly, though I cursed myself mentally for showing signs of fear. I'd only heard half of it, the killing part. A low growl sounded in my throat and I leaned away from his muzzle, which was right by my ear. Now I knew why Vada had been so wary. I just watched him as he rose back up, taking on a slight protective stance in front of my sister and I. Despite the fact that he had threatened me, I still admired him. Not everyone had the guts to go behind enemy lines and kill and Alpha's pup.

'Tesevix breeds strong wolves, you shouldn't speak too harshly of her.'

My brow raised, for I was suprised. I hadn't thought of him as the wolf to really like anybody, much less Mom. I just shrugged, not commenting on it.

I was glad that Cesaru defended Mom--I had felt like I was the only one who didn't hate her. Sure, I might be a little annoyed with her, but I didn't hate her for no reason, like Carmina did. I nearly grinned when she just shrugged it off, not wanting to admit she was wrong.

'Figures. Seems like all of Tesevix's pups turn out to be ungrateful bitches... I guess you, Carmina are no different.'

My ears lay back as Kane insulted Carmina--yeah, Carmina sure did deserve it, but he had directed it towards all of Mom's pups. Is that what he thought of me? It made me frown, and want to let a whimper escape, but not with him there and Cesaru here. I already caught enough hell from Carmina; I didn't want more from wolves who mattered more than she did.

Carmina just shrugged again, ignoring the obvious insult in Kane's words. Didn't she care about anything? Dang. I pressed against her, in case her feelings had been hurt, but as soon as my flank touched hers, she pushed me off. As per usual--it didn't hurt my feelings that she did. That was the normal Carmina.

'I'm sorry about the... welcoming, party. It seems that our breeder has a thing with creating offspring like him... Oh, and there's no need to pay any attention to that pile of shit there... He's not worth the ground we walk on.'

'I've been looking for a pack and aside from the less than friendly run-in, this seems like a wonderful pack.'

I met her gaze as she glanced at me, and I just sneered at her. Just because she was older and bigger than me (For now) didn't mean anything. But she was right. This was the right pack for her, if she was into mean wolves and all. Like Theravada called me. I chuckled softly, and my interest level went up as Cesaru approached Kane, mocking him. I grinned, hoping it would get good. Kane surely wouldn't take that shit, and a possible fight might break out. Sweet.

[Luna]

I tensed as he strode closer, an involuntary action that I wish I could've controlled. I knew it would give him pleasure to know that I thought he was way too close for comfort. It wasn't that I was afraid of him or anything. No, I'd love to fight him, actually I craved the opportunity. However, I knew in my mind that if I tried hard enough I could kill him, and like I'd already said, we needed him. If given the right bribes, I was sure he would come around and actually fight for us... Although that would probably take more willing females than we had and a position that I was unwilling to give him... And that would just be the start.

Ah, Kane, I can only imagine what a brute like you could do to a brute like me. Only the head honcho could do me harm, only a man like you, oh master.

My eyes followed him as he walked, his head swinging down in a bow, his eyes still on me as he smirked. I bit my lip, holding back the urge to dig into him with all I had. I knew that every display of anger just pleased him more, and reacting to his taunts was the last thing I wanted to do. I growled lowly and rolled my eyes, but that was it. I ignored him, looking up and focusing on Coye rather than Cesaru.

Yes, I've gathered the names. I'm Coye. It's nice to meet you.

" Likewise," I replied, pausing as she continued. " Nice... right," I laughed, amused that she would call it that. " With horny bastards like him running around, either fucking or killing everything that moves, this place is anything but nice."

I paused, glancing down at the younger wolves to see Carmina sneer and Theravada frown. Other than say her name, I hadn't heard her speak. She was quiet and didn't seem to be natured like Carmina and Vesetai. Actually, she sorta reminded me of Anakaros, the nicest male of Tess's first litter.

" Though, not everyone is like him and Carmina there. A few of them actually make decent company," I added, slowly shifting my gaze back to Coye. " But, if you're really seeking acceptance here, you've got it. You seem like a strong fae... I see no obvious reason not to let you in."[/color]
