- Cypress - 10-31-2010 500+[html] For Jazper da boogey-man! Perfect for Halloween, yes? The world he had been born into had changed so drastically in the past weeks. The cooler days had brought with them all sorts of weird changes. The grass in the morning was coated in a white sheen, and crunched oddly beneath his overly large paws. Feeling stiff against the pads of his feet. No longer damp and clinging as it had been when it had been warmer and coated in dew. But it was not only the grass, but the leaves of the trees had changed as well. Changing from the green color shared by all to a variety of oranges, yellows and reds. Most had even fallen from the limbs they once clung too, leaving the trees bare and naked. It was a source of mystery and amazement to the young pup. As each changing season would be until he became accustom to the cycle. The slate gray skies didn't detour the pup from his explorations, nor the biting wind. His coat was starting to fill out as the chill took grip on the lands, making the cool air most enjoyable. Like most days, Cypress had set out with little-to-no idea as to what he would do. Putting one paw infront of the other he let the world take it where it willed. Chasing leaves and the invisible prey that hid in the crunching mounds of them. The trees looking so different now that they were bare and it was like exploring his home all over again. Eventually he had wore himself out. Finding a nice pile of leaves, safe and out of the wind he laid down for a nap. The afternoon was young and he had plenty of time to take a short rest before headding back home.
Cypress awoke with a start. What was that? He was on his feet instantly, ears pinned back and his tail tucked as he looked around him, spinning in circles. Something had woke him up and it was late, much later than it should have been. The sun had already vanished from the sky but it was not quite dark...yet. Where am I? He thought to himself, unable to recognize exactly were he was. His heart hammered in his chest as he started to panic, his mind still fogged over from sleep he wasn't able to think clearly yet. There was a rustle in the distance behind him. Spooked, the pup spun to look towards the source of the sound, large ears pressed foward. Though there was nothing. There! He heard another rustle from another direction, but upon looking there was nothing. Ears folded back, flat against his skull. He needed to get home. Dangerous things came out at night. Momma would be awefully worried about him by the time he made his way back home. But which way was it? Quickly, and not with out frequently looking behind him the tree pup made his way home, at least he hoped he was going in the right direction. .cypressadol02 b {font-weight:bold; color:#e08412; letter-spacing:1px; } .cypressadol02-ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#737272; text-align:left;} .cypressadol02 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 12px; margin:0px;} .cypressadol02 {margin:0 auto; width:400px; background-color:#303030; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/ ... adol02.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #b2b2b2; padding: 220px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#737272; letter-spacing:.3px; word-spacing:.8px; line-height:12px; text-align:justify;} .cypressadol02-border1 {width:402px; border:1px solid #593407; margin:0 auto;} .cypressadol02-line1 {width:376px; border-bottom:1px dotted #8d8d8d; margin:0 auto 5px auto;} </style> [/html] - Jazper Rhiannon-Knight - 11-06-2010 [html] Jaz-man

The pup was spooked, hunkering as he ran in what he could only hope was the direction of the manor. His tail tucked tight against his legs as he went. His head spun at shake and rustle of the trees and brush, but he still saw nothing. Surely he was just imagining it. Though he couldn't help but think of all the nasty things that he had been warned about. Things that came out at night and like wolf pups for a nice snack. He tried to push the thoughts from his mind. He tried to tell himself he was being foolish, but the fear just kept bubbling back up, making him scurry from every sound.
Then he heard it. It sounded like rocks sliding down a mountian, grinding and clashing together. The low, rumbling growl froze him in tracks. Legs shaking as he sunk to the ground, ever appendage flattened as he tried to disappear, coming nothing more than a lifeless lump on the ground. Eyes searched frantically for the source, his bringer of death. There! There it was. It was massive! Though he could just barely make out the shape of the creature in the darkness. Holding as still stone, though more like a trembling leaf, the pup whimpered as he huddled on the ground. Unaware of the soft, scared sounds he made.
He flinched as the low, gruff voice cut through the the night air. He was had, it was over. "D-d-d-d..D-d-don't eat me!" He shrieked, paws coming up to cover his eyes. Though it seemed the pup would have a change of heart and not simply surrender himself then and there. In a moment of pure panic he looked around frantically for any chance of escape. Bolting the pup ran as fast as awkward limbs could carry him. .cypnov02 b {font-weight:bold; color:#739f48; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #aca089; } .cypnov02-ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#87795e; text-align:left;} .cypnov02 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .cypnov02 {margin:0 auto; width:460px; background-color:#d7d0c3; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/ ... snov02.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #ffffff; padding: 120px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#87795e; letter-spacing:.3px; word-spacing:.8px; line-height:12px; text-align:justify;} .cypnov02-border1 {width:462px; border:1px solid #525252; margin:0 auto;} .cypnov02-line1 {width:430px; border-bottom:1px solid #e3ddd1; margin:0 auto 3px auto;} </style> 300+ [/html] - Jazper Rhiannon-Knight - 12-10-2010 [html] I'm soorrryyyyyy D:

Fear had gripped him so completely the moment he had bolted. Certain that his end had been near. And still in hot pursuit. His pulse pounded in his ears as he ran all out. He heard the beast call after him, but in his panicked stated he did not comprehend a single word. His chest already heaving as he went, paws scrambling to carrying further and faster. He had to get away, he had to survive. He had to.
It was still following him, he could hear it coming closer and closer. And then it happened. His growing and awkward limbs would be his down fall. Time stopped as his legs tangled, blue eyes went wide and though he struggled to untangle his legs quickly he still went tumbling. A sharp yelp of surprise as he went tumbling through the dense under brush. Coming to a rest under the low hanging limbs of a cedar. Hidden from sight, and though he thought himself still and silent, his soft whimpering would easily give him away as he lay shaking with his body pressed as tightly to the ground as he could manage. Maybe, just maybe, whatever it was would give up on its meal of puppy and go away.

For the longest time all the Cypress could hear hammering of pulse and rush of his breath. Was it really that loud? Struggling to steady and slow his breath. And so, so completely oblivious to his own pathetic whimpering. Once he was able to hear past his own fear, he could hear something close, very close. Jazper! At last his startled mind processing the name as he felt a warm lick. The boy still flinched at the contact, but blue eyes that had been clamped shut, blinked open looking for the large bulk of the dark knight. "Mmmhmm," was all he managed in response along with a shaky nod.
Cypress would not even allow himself to think that it had just been Jazper all along and he quickly scooted up to Jazper, pressing his trembling form against the larger male and burying his tear soaked face in his black fur. "I'm so glad your here. There something out there." His voice shook and cracked as he tried not to sob. He had been so scared, but he knew it would be okay now. Now that Jazper was here. "I think it wanted to eat me." He pulled his face out of other male's fur to look at him and sniffled. He did believe him didn't he?

There was no doubt in the youth's mind that he was safe now that Jazper was here. Uncle Jazper was big, bigger than whatever nasty thing that had been chasing him. Surely he was, and he would scare away whatever big nasty wolf it was that had been after a nice puppy snack. But with such relief came the flood of held back tears and sobs. "Is he gone? Gone for good?" He was still nervous that the beast might still lurk out in the shadows. Though he did his best, and fail miserably, to hide the streaking tears and the sniffles they caused. The sobs and shaking had quickly subsided. If he only had fingers he could dash away the last of his tears, but as it were he was unable to stop them from rolling down his cheeks.
His legs felt wobbly under him as Jazper picked him up and placed him on his feet. Cypress looked up at the far larger male, his blue eyes filled with awe for the male he saw only as rescuer in this whole mess. Blissfully blind to what a twisted little tale it was and it was for the best. Still at the mention of his mother, Cypress couldn't help but feel that some how he had failed her. This was all his fault, had he not been out so late he would have been safe in the manor long before darkness had fallen over the land. "Jazper, will momma be angry with me? I..I didn't mean to be out so late..," he started to explain. "I didn't mean to." Oh he was not looking forward to momma learning of this tale, or his brothers. "You won't..tell Oak and Alder I cried? Will you? Please don't." He had been walking along rather steadily but at the request he had to stop, looking up with great big, pleading puppy eyes.

WC:341+ Smiling a little as he started walking beside the boy the Knight attempted to keep his eyes forward and his steps brisk. As soon as he got the boy home everything would go back to normal. Sadly, the questions kept coming. “No your mom wont be angry.” He reassured again, “She's in bed by now. I'll explain to her everything.” Of course he was lying through his teeth as his brain started thinking of how he was going to get through this. Suddenly he noticed the pup has stopped. Turning to look at the boy he was surprised by the big worried blue eyes he was met by. “Oh gosh Cypress,” the warrior sighed as he walked back to the pup, “Noone has to know Cy.” He promised, “We'll get you home and in bed, tell you mom you were out with me, and your brothers wont have to know a thing.” Turning back in the direction of the manor he took a step, “How's that son?” As they approched the Manor he felt a little better knowing that this night would stay a secret between the two males. -fade- .Jaz001 b {font-weight:bold; color:#3165d3; letter-spacing:1px; } .Jaz001ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;; font-size:12px; color:#9a9ea1; text-align:right;} .Jaz001 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 10px; margin:0px;} .Jaz001 {margin:0 auto; width:359px; background-color:#01040d; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/ ... jaz001.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #9a9ea1; padding: 200px 0px 5px 0px; font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif; font-size:12px; color:#9a9ea1; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] |
