fear not the darkness

Shiloh can jump in if she wants.

Pain and fear were the only things she felt. No matter how far she ran through the red world, there was Amy and her dreaded knife. Laughter and sickly sweet words filled the air, throwing the snow wolf into a panicked frenzy. Suddenly, Amy was gone. Where the yellow she-dog went was a mystery. But there was no Amy. Kiara spun around twice, trying to find Amy. The only thing worse than a horror, was one you couldn't see. As Kiara came back around she saw a sight that brought her to tears. Letting out a mournful howl Kiara slumped to the ground. Before her were the bodies of everyone she loved. Vesper, Shiloh, Neela, Aleo, her family, her pack; and on top of the pile was little Sarian with a dagger sticking out of her silver body.

Kiara woke with a start. It was a dream, it was all a dream...or not. Pain shot through her as Kiara heaved a sigh. She must have been fitfull in her sleep because many of her wounds had reopened. Since Kiara arrived back in Ichika no Ho-en with Vesper, she had wrought with fitful sleep and high fevers. Even now her body was feverish, but it seemed to have at least abated a little. The areas around Kiara's wounds were badly swollen, as was her cheek. The spiral on her belly was the worst off and perhaps the cruelest wound inflicted on the white wolf. Everywhere hurt, and once again blood began to drip on the floor.

At some point in time, Kiara had crawled into the corner of the front room where she often slept. Right now, she wanted nothing to with tools or really anything resembling human objects. The objects seemed vial and disgusting. If it wasn't for Shiloh, Kiara wouldn't even be in the apartments. Speaking of Shiloh, where was the grey wolf?

The alabaster woman looked around, confused and worried. Where was Shiloh? Where was Sarian? Where was Aleo? Are they okay? Did something happen to them? Did Amy get to them? Kiara began to cry out. Her whines filled with distress and pain. Stumbling to her feet, Kiara began to wander in search of her friends. Blood dripped onto the floor as she walked to each of the doors in the apartment. The snow wolf wasn't able to get far. The doors in the apartment prevented her from even leaving the front room. Kiara couldn't shift, and she prayed that things would stay that way. Kiara was forced to give up, through both exhaustion and the lack of hands. Her large head slumped as she whimpered quietly. Oh where could they be?

The male had been dealing with a lot and really just wanted to prove to someone even if it was to him-self that he was still worth something, the more he thought of what he could do, and when he tried to follow that thought out with the psychical action, it just didn’t seem to go as well as planned. He just felt like anything he was doing any more was a fail, a huge utter fail. Heck he wasn’t even sure if his friends he had once had (Jace, Temo, and all of the other old Valley members) still wanted him around, he was still a drinker, and was smoking tobacco to help with the jitters from not consuming the sweet mores of mushrooms, however the silver male was trying to make a comeback, but he feared that he was only pushing him-self into a deeper depression.

The male was looking to an apartment, something smaller, something that he could have to him-self. He wanted a place for when he and Rendall broke up, it was her cabin, it was the one thing he had given to her, he promised her love, and he would never hurt her, and he had. He had left her when she needed him, and when he finally came out of his little hiding whole he was nothing more than a drunkard ass hole like how his father was. He was mentally unstable then, and now he was paying for it.

Hearing the whine the male’s head snapped, as he lifted his ear up, the sound came though the clogged ears, so it was more muffled when what it would be to a normal hearing wolf, but he could also feel the vibrations of her cries under his two feet. Walking over to the door that the sound and feeling came from the loudest, the male knocked softly upon the door.”Sister wolf?” He stopped and pressed his only hand to the door”You okay?” He then pressed his face against the door. ”Please, let mu..mu…mu…uh..me help.”

The room began to spin and oh, how her head hurt. It was all Kiara could do to just sit there. The exhaustion and pain caused her limbs to shake making her body feel like jelly. Her open wounds dripped blood at a slow but steady pace. She had suffered from severe blood loss the day before and the reopened wounds were not helping her situation. Most would turn into ugly scars. The only exceptions were the scratch above her eye and her swollen cheek.

A quiet rasp against the door made the snow wolf jump. It could be Shiloh... but what if it was Amy? Kiara's lips pulled back and her ears flattened against her head. Her heckles raised and blood dripped to the floor giving the normally gentle snow wolf a frightening appearance. A warning growl issued from her lips despite the fact that fear flooded her eyes. Kiara relaxed though when the figure on the other side of the door addressed her as 'sister wolf.' Whoever this male was, he was pack. Kiara would always trust pack.

Her posture relaxed and her growls disappeared, turning into whimpers. She had growled at another pack mate. How could she? What was she becoming? Kiara collapsed on the floor and curled into a ball. She didn't answer the stranger, she just lay on the floor and whimpered. Even if the stranger was pack, the injured wolf didn't want to meet new wolves. The last stranger Kiara had met hurt her so badly and she never wanted to experience that again. She prayed he would just go away.

Noah

There's no tomorrow on this foggy river

OOC ::AWWWW Noah is flirting and don't even know how sweet he is being.

The male could hear the she wolf in there panting, his nose was able to smell the blood. The silver Gen'un could not leave a pack member laying on what could be her death bed. The male gave a soft whine, as he laid his head against the door. He sighed softly as he stood there. What had ever happened to this she wolf had scared her badly. Noah was not even sure if this female would be sickened looking at him. ”I…I won’t….leave…” The Sawtooth male placed his good and only hand against the door.

The silver male wasn’t sure what all he could do to make her feel more assure with letting him in to help treat her, the best that he could. After all Noah was a stargazer and not a healer. He had been studying the art of the night sky since the pack had come to be and not once did his studies say what to do for a wolf that was hurting.

”Please..” He spoke low and slow, hoping that he would somehow gain her trust. Going down to his knees and then placing his stomach onto the ground the male placed his only hand onto the ground as he slipped it under the door, he wasn’t going to break in and loose that privacy that she might need right now, but he was going to let her know that if she wanted to reach out and have someone to talk to about the issues he would be right there, on the other side of the door. ”I…I won’t hurt…you…Promise.” Well he could only hope he would never hurt her.

I always knew some day you'd let me down. I've got troubles on my mind, guess I'm doomed to sail this foggy river

Despite her wishes, the male refused to leave. Kiara could hear him move on the other side of the door. His shaking voice trying to reassure her. The snow wolf knew he wouldn't hurt her, he was pack and pack could be trusted. Even so, she didn't want him to come in. He was someone she didn't know, although the sound of his voice tugged on her memory. Perhaps she did know him? But still, her once beautiful coat was marred with blood and deep gashes. Amy made her dirty, and Kiara was ashamed to be seen this way. No, she wanted him to go away. She wanted to be left alone.

The males voice, strange yet familiar, begged her to trust him. To let him help her. Kiara could see his silver hand poke beneath the door, trying to reach for her. Kiara let out a little chuckle and then began to cry. She couldn't take his hand, but in a few days she might be forced to. Kiara was a normal wolf, but Amy's vicious attack on her had brought into question whether or not Kaira would stay a normal wolf. Kiara had managed to fight back, just once. If Kiara had managed to make the dog luperci bleed and the blood had dripped into her open wounds, then Kaira would soon be a luperci herself. That idea frightened her. It's not like the snow wolf had anything against luperci, she just didn't want to become one.

"Brother, I... I can't take your hand. But... the door...it should be unlocked." Her quite voice shook. She didn't want the male to come in, but if he wasn't going to leave then he might as well come in. Kiara closed her eyes and waited. Her body was shaking and the bleeding had slowed, but she was still weak and her fever had spiked again.

WC:423

From behind the door that the Sawtooth would not enter, a voice finally came out. It was a female’s voice. The male wasted no time, slipping his hand from under the door and turning the door knob. He wanted to lay there and comfort a pack member that was in need of someone, they needed someone to be close to them. The Sawtooth male had no issues being that wolf that snuggled up to any of the pack members and showing them the support and comfort that they need.
Seeing the lady laying there, killed his heart. She was just a simple white female wolf lying there, cut up and bleeding. The male couldn’t help but to gasp, blood or not he could not allow her to lay there being hurt. So Noah did the one and only thing that he knew he could do and do best, he shifted down to his lupus forum.

His bone cracked and snapped, shorting in a way that only a human can make this type of pain come about. The pain was just something the male was use to so, he was able to close his eyes and hold back the screaming and crying while his body shifted down to a mammal like shape.
Hopping over to the lady the male lowered his head down to her, as he gave her a soft nudge, a tender one to show love and compassion. If no one was here now to do that for her in a time of need the Sawtooth male would. Lying down beside her the male started to lick the white lady’s cut’s clean. ”Who do it?” He asked softly, he saw red, as his heart raised, he knew he wanted to harm the being that did this to one of the pack members that he lived with, a sister to him.

Noah looked down at her, with a sign. ”Time heals everything.” Well that was an utter lie but it does help make the pain from the attack more numb and not so real any more. It had helped him with his father’s attacks. Though he really showed no psyhical wombs from him, his was all mental and vocal. Saving Tala’s life in Phoenix Valley landed him scared and missing part of his foot.

Laying there beside her, he made her a promise. ” I will stay…as long…as you need.” He stopped and pushed hard and thought about the word hard to make sure it came out just as he needed it to.

The male who entered the apartment was none other than Noah. The pair of wolves had met once or twice before, but always in passing. The Sawtooth danced in her mind as Kiara struggled to remember who he was, but her fever and weakened state prevented Kiara from fully bringing the memories to light. She remembered a group, many groups. Some dancing, some talking. His form always seemed to drift in the background, out of sight and out of mind.

The sound of snapping bones sent Kiara's mind into a panicked frenzy. Her sapphire eyes widened and a distressed whine echoed through the room. Kiara shuffled back a few paces, her ears pressed against her skull and her tail firmly tucked between her legs. The snow wolf was not scared of the shifting process, in fact on any other occasion Kiara would have watched the process with interest. What scared her was the sound, the horrid sound of cracking bone. Kiara had only managed to see a luperci shift a few times, yet the sound never bothered her before. When Noah had finally finished shifting and Kiara slumped onto the ground. Exhaustion had gotten the better of her. She was relieved that the sound had stopped, and closed her eyes briefly to appreciate the quite world.

A cold nose pressed against her head, and Kiara returned his loving gesture with a small lick to the male's silver maw. The comfort of another was wonderful, the pack animal in her driving Kiara to seek the touch of her fellow wolves. Her instincts prevailed over her fears, something Kiara was monumentally grateful for. Kiara couldn't help but wince a little as Noah started to clean her wounds, his warm tongue passing over the sensitive skin.

The anger in Noah's voice made Kiara happy. She was glad that someone was getting upset and for just a moment entertained the fantasy of the pack ripping Amy to shreds. Kiara shook her head as much as her injuries would allow. The fantasy was cruel, and something the arctic wolf wanted to rid herself of. At the same time, the gesture was discourage any thoughts of revenge Noah had. The last thing Kiara wanted was for Amy to harm a member of her pack and if they went after the dog that was sure to happen. "Just some dog. She's long gone by now."

As Noah spoke, Kiara looked around. Where was Shiloh, Aleo, and Sarian? They most likely went out, but where too? Had Kaira done something to drive them off? Did she shift? The arctic wolf was so scared that she might shift, that she might become a luperci. Kiara turned to Noah, his words of comfort and wonderful promises not really reaching the snow wolf's ears. Hesitantly she asked, "W...What...What is it like... to be a luperci?" She didn't want to know, she didn't want to understand. But soon, Kiara might be forced to shift so some foreknowledge might be worth the heartache.

WC:285+ - OOC blah would go here

The silver male wouldn’t stop caring about the members that he lived within these lands. It was the job of the pack to care and love for each other. Though seeing her, the male felt horrid that a member of the pack was attacked. He sighed as he made sure to tend to her needs and wants. He could feel in the air that her feelings about this whole matter.

He watched her as he groomed her, he just wanted a name, or a pack of where they had ran off to. Any of this the male would love to have, he would leave at the drop of a hat to go after and kill. Yes the silver Stargazing Sawtooth was actually thinking about taking some one’s live for hurting a pack member. ”If that dog c..c..come around again. I will b..b..be told?” The Sawtooth male asked as he nuzzled into her.

The question that came next, the silver male was taken for a loop. ”Well…” The male wasn’t sure what to tell her. He was born with this virus. It wasn’t like he was born clean and then forced to go though the infection. ”It’s nice to h..h..have the ability. It takes work, l..l..lots of work. It h..h..hurts a lot. Talk t..t..to Rendall, when the t..t..time comes. She helped m..m..me.” The male almost sounded like he was in the same boat as she was. Though in a way he was, he was born with the virus running though his body, but never knew how. The first few times he had tried to shift he wasn’t able to get the whole body though the process. It was sort of comical looking back at it now.

The snow wolf waited patiently as Noah finished grooming her. Kiara's strength was waning and her eyelids were begining to close, the sapphire orbs slowly disappearing. Kiara listened as Noah talked about being a luperci. She could see how it might be convenient to have three forms, but did it really hurt? Shiloh never seemed to be in any discomfort when she shifted. Then again, the atrocious sounds that were made when Noah shifted sounded liked they hurt a lot. Kiara's ears pressed against her head, she didn't want to be a luperci. She didn't want to change, but there was that possibility that she might change.

"Okay... thanks. I... I really hope it doesn't happen." Kiara's words came out no louder than a whisper. She was scared and she hurt. Her fever was up again and her strength was now completely gone. A yawn touched her lis and Kiara inhaled slowly before opening her jaws to release it all. After yawning Kiara went to shake her head and winced as pain shot through her neck.

Slowly but surly Kiara fell asleep, her pain filled nightmares returning. Kiara whimpered and twitched a little as the body in her dreams began to fold into a grotesque creature against her will. Amy's laughter could be heard in the background, and her terrible knives flew into Kiara's body piercing her skin and staining the world red.
