Hiding From the Two Legged

Medusa whined slightly. How many wolves could there be in this area? She shifted her weight uncomfortably, she looked through the branches again. Three wolves now occupied the clearing. They seemed to be talking about the two legged. Medusa snarled, she hated the two legged, she had seen them many times. They were destructive and cruel, they cared about the forest as much as wolves cared about spoiled food. Medusa relaxed her muscles and wriggled under the scrub again, once again she tried to stay hidden. She chewed on a root absentmindedly and made a few dirt particles chase each other infront of her eyes. She yawned and stretched, trying to curl up under the scrub.

Kaylyn now not sure of what to make of these horendous sounds coming from the brush she would jump and turn as she hence heard the snarling. She would bark out deeply Show yourself now! Kay was unsure of the dangers but was ready to face it no matter the cost.

Medusa froze and cussed under her breath. They had heard her.. or at least one of them had. She struggled out and bared her fangs at the wolves in the clearing. Her fur bristled as she awaited their thoughts on her. She would leave soon, she felt uncomfortable around other wolves. Snarling she barked, What do you want from me? she didn't relax her muzzle and her dark eyes seemed to grow darker with her anger.

Kay looked unto the newcomer with a deep stare nothing menicing or demonic, just a plain blank stare. Who are you? Laying her ears down she would curl her tail high, showing her normal dominant posture.

Medusa puffed out her chest and lifted her muzzle, My name is Medusa. She growled and let her ears go flat against her skull. She glanced over the wolf in front of her, she took in the dominant pose and huffed, She was a loner. No one had authority over her.. She lowered herself ready to attack if needed and said, What do you want from me?

Kay stood up still in her rather dominant state and raised her eyebrow at the she-wolf not sure wat to make of it, but knowing she didn't need a fight with an injured paw. Kaylyn shook her head lightly I mean no harm to friend. I am only worrying for the sake of the others. Your safe if you wish to stay with us. Standing at a point where the wind hit her face blowing the slightly-formed bangs away from her eyes long enough s she could shape out the she-wolf calledMedusa(Not speaking).



(( This makes me want to draw this =P ))

Medusa nodded, she would lose in a fight quickly, after all.. she was only a pup. She nearly laughed, "the others" she had called them. What could a pup do with two names? carve them in the dirt and prance around singing them? Medusa relaxed a little, she narrowed her eyes as the she-wolf who had addressed her glanced over her. She shifted her weight from paw to paw nervously. She nodded and said, I will stay.. for now.. She growled slightly, out of habit and curled up on the ground.

Kay smirked and walked towards the young one not knowing how old she was the bitch would lay near her and try to keep her warm. The whelps growls turned through one ear and out the other, the she-wolf was all too trusting of any new comer when it came to being around a whelp. I know you probably dont trust me but I'm willing to trust you. I am no threat to you.

Medusa opened one of her eyes and froze as the female walked towards her. Medusa growled slightly louder which turned into snarls as she was ignored. She was silenced as the female lay beside her. Medusa whimpered slightly as memories of her pack came flooding back, the touch of her mother teaching her how to survive. She shook her head, she was meant to be strong not weak. Medusa froze and curled up more tightly listening to the she-wolf speak to her. Her ears went flat against her skull as she drifted off to sleep.

Kay smirled lightly still unsure if this was what she needed to do or not... Curling around the whelp she tried her hardest to keep the yearling warm. Kaylyn looked around lightly as the winters were almost over indeed.

Lifting her head lightly she would smile again this time with a warm feeling inside of her heart, being that this was the first time she had been near a pup and certainly loved young ones it was a new experience for her. Not sure what to do next she gave a slight nuzzle to the runts forehead and curled back up around the young one.

Medusa opened one of her eyes and smiled, she could feel the fur of the she-wolf adding warmth to her. She was comfortable and welcomed it. Medusa lifted her muzzle and muzzled her back, without thinking. As she lay back down she froze, what was she doing? She hadn't had a warm touch in so long that any type of affection seemed forien, alien to her. She shook herself internally and buried her muzzle under her paws. She sighed, who was she kidding, she was cold hearted and only opened up to the few that actually cared for her. But why didn't she then open up for her mother? It was her reputation, here she was just a lone pup, no one had given her a stereotype yet. She growled slightly, what was with her lately! She was arguing with herself, that was far from normal.

Kay smiled lightly and layed her head near the young one's not even thinking about the idea that she would be bothering the young one. She yawned blankly and closed her eyes for the moment, laying the bushy tail around the whelp to continue to keep her warm.

Medusa looked at the she-wolf's head beside her and cuddled closer enjoying the warmth. She sighed and readjusted her paws slightly so she was comfortable and drifted into the warm arms of sleep.

Kaylyn peeped through one of her eyes and grinned lightly. Sleeping throughout the night.

(( Next day if you don't mind ))

Medusa yawned and stretched looking through the canopy of branches above at the weak light of the sun. A gentle breeze rocked the area and the faint scent of spring was coming. It was getting warmer and bird song started to fill the air. Medusa turned to the she-wolf and smiled her tail wagging faintly. She turned and growled, springing to her feet, her fur bristling as something scuttled in the undergrowth. She stalked forwards past the other wolves and sprang into the bushes snarling as the hare made a run for it. She barked and ran forth snapping at its heels. It weaved through the trees its breath coming quickly. Medusa snarled and her old self showed again as her muzzle wrinkled and her ears went flat against her skull. She sprang and clamped her jaws around the hares neck, twisting so it died instantly. She picked it up and pranced back into the clearing proudly showing off her catch before settling onto the ground and tearing at the carcass.

Kaylyn lifted her head as she heard the breath faintly escape from the hares jaws, her own stomach making a sort of thudding sound as she hadn't eaten in 3-4 days. Lifting her body from the groun the wound pon' her paw had become infected and painful.

Shaking the pain from her body she would lay her nose to the ground the critters and ungulates had began to come from the winter hiding places, Kay raised her ears to the sounds of a deer nearby. Darting off with her injured paw she would begin to stalk the young fawn. Eyeing it perfectly before she would lunge at the creature. Missing the first time she would nail the throat on the second attempt.

Bringing the creature to its doom she would attempt to drag it back to where they were staying but achieved very little with the weight of the beast and her injuries. Falling to the ground she rested for a little longer and looked about before dozing off again out of weakness.

Medusa crunched up the bones and yawned. Getting to her feet she followed the scent of the she-wolf and found her laying beside a dead fawn. Medusa walked forward and nudged her before attempting to drag the fawn herself. She clamped her jaws around the fawns slender neck and heaved, dragging the corpse through the now scarlet snow. She smiled and continued dragging yipping to the she-wolf to follow.

Kay smiled sweetly as she heard the yip, reaching to her feet she would walk back with the pup and grab the fawns neck helping to pull the animal back. Seeing a good reaction in the whelp she smile as the two made it back to the small encampment she licked the whelps forehead as a sort of good work thing, before laying down near the carcass to eat for a while.

Medusa smiled slightly and together the two of them got the calf back quickly. Medusa barked and waggled her hind quarters as she was rewarded and went to sit a few feet from the she-wolf and kept her head lowered respectfully. She let her tail drift through the dirt before laying down and placing her muzzle on her paws. She bared her teeth and tensed focusing her power on a lump of dirt in front of her. She growled and let her ears fall against her skull. She relaxed slightly as the clump of earth wobbled and broke free floating in the air in front of her. She barked triumphantly and made it hover through the air.

Kay smiled sweetly before sliding over and making room for the whelp, the bitch knew how to share and insisted that the young one come and eat if she was hungry.

(( Sorry short post, writers block D; ))

Medusa waggled her hind quarters and moved towards the she-wolf, her muzzle close to the ground as she cuddled up next to the wolf. She nuzzled her and and tore at the deer gratefully, enjoying the savory taste of the deer. She licked her blood covered muzzle when she had eaten her fill. She yawned and rolled onto her side, a content rumbling starting in her chest. Medusa yawned again and closed her eyes, ready for a quick nap.

(That's fine.. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here in Australia it is 12:22am 1/1/10.. I won't be able to get on from Saturday (Oz time) I will be at my dads for an entire week so everyone have a great start to 2010!)

Smiled as she would snuggle her face against the young ones, then resuming to tear into the large meat stash. Laying her tail down as she cleaned her muzzle from the feast, curling back around the whelp she would smile lightly also laying down for a short nap.

Keeping her eyes and ears peeled incase of an intruder.

(( We should start a new thread, lol this ones getting too long xD ))

Medusa opened one eye slightly and curled up enjoying the warmth of the she-wolf's fur.She closed her eyes again and let her tail flop over her muzzle. She could feel the slight tension in the she-wolf as she kept watch. Medusa finally felt like a pup, someone who didn't have to care too much about her surroundings and could rely on her parents. She smiled slightly which quickly turned into a grimace. She had learned the hard way that even behind kind smiles cruel ambitions can hide, her father had been like that. Kind and caring on the outside but on the inside he had loathed Medusa and growled at her when her mother hadn't been around. Medusa cringed from the memories and tried to clear her mind before she fell asleep.

(Yeah.. I have seen threads about 14 pages long before.. on tygras.. anyway.. goodnight.. and HAPPY NEW YEARS!)

The two were getting along, it seemed. Tryst had been lying around, in earshot, not really listening, but close enough that she could get to them if the need arose. Her eyes half closed, she was laying on her side, exposing her belly to a small, flickering fire, trying to get the warmth to seep into her. Her pale, creamy belly fur seemed to repel it. She curled closer. She didn’t really want to touch the flames. True, they wouldn’t burn, but she hated the feeling it gave her. The dance of the flames on her skin was too… Foreign. Unnatural.

The younger, dark wolfess seemed to be named Medusa, and she was one of those wolves that didn’t trust easily, though she seemed to be getting along fine with Kay. Tryst sighed, her gaze rolling softly to Bandit, an undisguised sort of pain and longing in her eyes for a few moments before she shook her head violently and turned away, looking pointedly into the woods away from them all.


[[Sorry I haven't been on - I had very little time over the holidays]]

Kay smiled lightly as the bitch would look at Tryst and noticing that she had wanted Bandit more than Kay, she would get up from the whelp she had been protecting and walked to Tryst. If you want him you are more than welcome to have him. She said with a whisper to Tryst's ear making sure Bandit was not near to hear, before going back and laying around the whelp she was willing to mother.

Smiling as she would look at Tryst and then over to Bandit before smiling and nudging the young one to get wake. Being that night was falling Kay found it wise to be moving again before the Two-Legged found their tracks and the hounds they packed caught their scents. Spring time was edging near the camp where the canines had resided for the time being.

The snow was melting and the bushes were going back to normal colors. Spring was blooming again.


(( Next day if no one minds =] ))
