Bonding (Malicious)

[storm]

A feminine huntress, agiley swerved around the large heard of elk.She was in hunting mode,and she knew she couldnt possibly take one down on her own.She had to go for the weak, old ones.She growled lowley and her beautiful silver and black frame rippled as she made a swift turn.She wasnt paying attention and when she looked to her side she saw the bull elk charging towards her.Moments later she saw she was now trapped in a cirlce of angry elk,with no where to go.She growled and her ice blue eyes rippled as the bull elk reared above her getting ready to kill her. Even though a trample might not kill a reguler wolf, Desdemona was very fragile and skinny.She closed her eyes, and braced herself for the end.

[Malicious]

The black wolf darted through the woods, running as fast as his legs could carry him. There were moments when speed over brute strength had it's advantages, and this was one of those situations. He had heard from a few other wolves that Desde, one of the hunters, had gone out hunting alone. Normally this would be fine, because on normal occassions a lone wolf would go hunting for something like rabbits or even foxes. However, he had heard from Clarence that rabbits were not the things on teh she-wolf mind. No, he had seen her out stalking elk.

Elk were normally large in size, and wolves were supposed to go in whole hunting parties when they went after anything like an elk or moose. A single wolf could get hurt by larger animals like those, and the Beta was well aware that Desde was quite a fragile she-wolf. To be honest, he was worried that something might happen to her, and that no one would be there to help her. Whatever could go wrong would go wrong at the worst possible time, and being out on your own counted as the worst possible time.

"Desdemona!" the black wolf called, pausing to look around and listen. It was then that he heard the scuffle. Maliku darted over to where the sounds were coming from, able to catch a quick glimpse of what was going on. From what he had gathered, the bull elk must have run into the Hunter. He only had a few seconds to act, so there was virtually no time to consider the consequence of whatever action he made. Another Pack wolf was in trouble, but was charging into a battle really the best idea? The bull elk made the decision for him, charging at the she-wolf.

Without pausing another second, the Beta leaped foreword, head-butting the elk in the side with all the force he could muster. He turned his head up slightly after the impact, feeling the force travel down his neck and spine. It was a rushed, foolish decision, but one that had to have been made. He managed to push the other animal back, extending his paws out so that he wouldn't roll over. The second impact hit his paws and traveled up his legs, making his bones ache just slightly. He looked up at the other creature, baring his teeth and growling threateningly.

"Desde... You alright...?" he asked, keeping his gaze on the bull elk. Hopefully it would take a hint and run away.

The she-wolf had been praying, and apparently it had been answered when Maliku, the beta and her secret crush, had called out her name.She dared to open her ice blue eyes and saw him leaping at the large elk.She felt relieved but scared at the same time. She scrambled to her paws and looked at the male, growling at the elk.She flicked her pelt gently ridding it of a few leaves,and looked at him."Yes, I'm fine, thank you" she replied softly,her light voice still wavering from the fright.She looked at the bull elk and growled deeply.The growl didn't sound like it came from her, but from a larger, stronger, brute.

The silver she-wolf nodded as her icy gaze locked with the bull elk's deep brown eyes.She blinked slowly,and the elk turned and ran taking the herd along with him sending a cascade of leaves to tumble and float into the soft crisp evening air, as the light shone from the sky and gently reflected off the leaves.She looked at Maliku and smiled softly."Thank you..." she blinked softly.She felt her tail waving gently in the long grass behind her sending a few bits of pollen flying into the air.It was the midst of spring,and the pollen was everywhere.A thin coating on the trees,grass,and even on the wolves themselves.

She watched the black male carefully,and her eyes rippled gently.She liked him, and they were good friends.She sat down the black toe less socks on her paws secluded into the long green grass that enveloped her paws.She curled her tail around her paws and the black section was hidden in the grass as well, and only a few murmurs showed.She flicked her black rimmed ears again when a small leaf flew by and landed on her nose.She smiled and crossed her eyes playfully at the leaf.

Maliku was rather relieved to see that the bull elk ran away, letting out a small sigh as he returned to his more stiff, straight-standing position. If there was one trait a Beta was known for that he fit, it was the constant standing upright (except to an Alpha). He naturally had very good posture, which added on to how tall he was due to his long legs. He looked back over at the she-wolf, looking over her to check for any obvious signs of a wound or anything. He would check to see if any Packmate were injured; however, Desde had been his good friend, so he was a little more nervous about her getting hurt.

"Thank you..."

"It was nothing... But you could have gotten badly hurt. You shouldn't go out on your own like that," the black wolf added. If the Hunter expected to get away without a stern lecturing, than she was sorely mistaken. The Beta male had a reputation for fussing at those who got into trouble, and often younger wolves would avoid him in order to escape getting one of the longest talks of their young lives. He sat down when she did, still holding his shoulders back and his head high. His posture was mostly a result of habit, not of real pride or anything else.

He glanced over at her to see that she was smiling, staring cross-eyed at a leaf that had landed on her nose. It was nearly impossible for any wolf to stay mad at her, and he was well-aware of that. Sighing, Maliku decided to drop the arguement, and leave the Hunter with a warning rather then an arguement.

"Please, bring a hunting party with you next time," he sighed, looking over at her with his one red eye. He always looked at others with his head turned, due to the fact that he hated them seeing the scar on his right side. Thankfully, Desde was to the left, and he only had to face ahead of himself and look at her from the side. He wasn't exactly what one would think of when they thought of 'handsom'. His pelt was a bit ragged, and his build was scrawny and tall. No, he didn't expect to impress anyone; hence why he was less likely to figure out that anyone had a crush on him, let alone a pretty she-wolf like Desde.

"...You'll save me some worry if you have someone with you..." he added, smirking lightly. He didn't often smile, since he didn't have many friends... but out here, it was just him and Desde, the only other wolf who seemed to get along with him. She was the only one who didn't either stare or scowl at him; ever.

Desdemona nodded."Sorry, Nobody wanted to go with me. thats just why..." she sighed softly then flicked her ears and she blinked softly."Well...erm...you could stay out here with me" she smiled when he commednted that someone with her would save him worry.Whats better than him bieng with her.She looked up as a small breeze shifted among the trees.She looked around expecting something to happen, but nothing did.

Desdemona wasnt one to see anyone had a crush on her either.She was pretty, yeah, but she was shy which she belived made males not want to speak with her.She was medium sized, but very light and fragile.She had a silver and grey pelt with odd black markings around her eyes, tail, and legs.Desde saw that he was staring foward and she knew why; his scar. She sighed and blinked her soft ice blue eyes gently.She felt bad, but she also though teh scar was pretty cool.

"I'm not into hunting right now anyway..we could go to the waterfall...or the mountain cliff..." she offered.Her tail was swining gently behind her, to and fro.She flicked her black rimmed ears and looked at teh mountain and saw that there was a little stream near teh middle.It would have gone unnoticed becuase you can only see a very small fragment of it.Even a long stare inteh direction, and you might not see it.

"Sorry, Nobody wanted to go with me. thats just why..."

"What? Who wouldn't want to go with you?" the black wolf asked, raising his head and facing her family. He looked surprised more than anything, and slightly upset. He knew that the Hunter was very shy, and she often had as many troubles with making friends as he did. However, she was kinder, and more sympathetic than he. She deserved to have more friends, and she would definitely need someone who could protect her. Even though she was a few moons older than him, he had always felt like he had to protect her... She needed him, or at least he liked to think so.

"Well... They're loss, I guess... You're very kind, I don't see why no one would accompany you," Maliku muttered, facing back away from Desde as he spoke. He got worked up of over the smallest things some times; he was very good at keeping his cool in most situations, but when it came to people he cared about, he was like a super protective big-brother. He was kind of sweet that way... but he never looked at it as 'sweet'. No, that was one of the reasons the black wolf was so hesitant to grow close to people, making Desde one of the few.

"Well...erm...you could stay out here with me."

The Beta paused, blinking a few times as he glanced over at the she-wolf slowly. After a few seconds of hesitation, he gave a single, quick nod before looking back out at the forest. It was truly a wonderful place to live. He couldn't imagine a world like Clarence, one of the other hunters, had described. A world ruled by humans, with stone monuments surrounding rock-hard black paths, and giant metal machines running up and down those very paths. It all seemed so chaotic, hence why many wolves didn't believe him; and yet, the Beta got to live his life out in the peaceful forest.

"I'm not into hunting right now anyway..we could go to the waterfall...or the mountain cliff..."

Maliku paused again, taking everything into consideration. He was a high ranking wolf, so naturally he had many things to tend to. Then again, he worked every day and never spent his free time out with anyone because no one really wanted to wait for him. Maybe it was about time to slow down and enjoy the life he was trying so hard to protect. With a sigh, he let a small (very small) smirk appear on his face, before looking over at Desde from the side.

"...That would be nice..." he muttered in reply, sounding slightly shy.

Desdemona smiled and nodded at him saying she was kind."Thank you" she smiled softly,her ice blue eyes rippling gently as he spoke to her.She saw teh scar on teh right side of his face,but didnt even look at it for logner than a second.He was who he was and nobody could change that.Actually she though that the scar looked rather cool.She flicked her ears gently,and looked up at teh sky which was slowly having cotten clouds fill the area.

She looked at him and nodded when he replied that he would."Come on then" she smiled,and bounded towards the mountain that was about a mile or so away.She blinked and looked back to make sure he was following.Since she had relitivley long legs she was faster than most wolves,and then even that speed had a boost for her light wieght.

She leapt over a small hole in the ice, that was probobly made by one of the very rare polarbears that lived out on the tundra here.The great bears where about 10 times the size of wolves,and could easily kill them.SHe looked at the hole that was now behind her,and then stopped to wait for Maliku,her black tipped tail swaying behind her.

[Malicious]

Maliku watched as Desde smiled at him, before bounding off toward the mountain. He blinked a few times, before realizing that it was now a (friendly, not competitive) race. He dashed after her, trying to make up for lost time by running as fast as his legs could carry him. His slender build and light weight made him a good runner, but he wasn't quite as fast as the she-wolf; he was fast, but she was faster. Somehow, though, he managed to keep within sight range of her, and didn't fall far behind.

The black wolf watched as she ran across the ice, focusing all his attention on following her path, and not what was on the ground. His slight lack of depth perception was a really bad trait to have when running toward a hole in the ice... By the time the Beta noticed it, it was already too late to jump. Thinking quickly, he turned and tried to stop. Instead, he only ended up skidding along, although he managed to narrowly miss the hole. Without any way to stop completely, however, he continued to skid until he slipped past Desde, trying to run only to have his paws slide out form under him.

It was actually a rather funny sight. His claws made a pattering noise with each step, and his expression was one of complete surprise, his single eye wide and his ears perked up completely. He skid along, turning slightly as he made his way toward the shore of the frozen lake. He tripped when he reached the edge, falling back into the snow. He landed with a the soft SCRUNCH that snow made when it was pressed down. After pausing for a few seconds, mostly to regain his breath and calm down, he poked his head up and looked over at Desde.

"...That... looked rather foolish, didn't it...?" he muttered softly, facing slightly downword as his ears flattened against the top of his head. How inexperienced of him... What wolf slipped on ice and fell into the snow like a Learner, or even a Pup! At least he made his it a simple slip-up (how punny), and he slipped up in front of a close friend instead of a stranger or something. It could have been worse.

"...Sorry about that..." he added, standing up, "Um... We should probably continue on our way, wouldn't you agree?"

[Storm of Tears]

Desde was running smoothly and she saw that he was behind her so she ran a bit faster.She knew he was fast, but she was faster.She smiled as her paws pressed downward in the soft, very thing layer of snow at the base of the ice.The snow there was a bit odd beuase it often desovled into teh ice at this time of year,but she didnt pay much mind to it and she kept a steady pase.In her mind she was tracking what she was doing long,short,long short like a pattern

She stopped suddenly when she heard skidding sounds on teh ice,and she turned to see Maliku spinning and doing all sorts of thing to avoid the ice.She sat down to watch as he skidded past her and she smiled.She looked at him and her ice blue eyes sparkled happily.She didnt think this was amusing, or funny in the mean way.It was unique, and she always stopped to look at unique things.

When Maliku finally landed in teh snow, the silver female padded up to him and smiled."Not foolish...more like unique" he smiled and looked at him.She padded closer to him and used her tail to brush of any left over snow on his pelt."It's fine....and yes we should" she added padding foward, a gentle smile appearing.As she padded foward a few spurt of greenery (grass) showed and she made sure to not step on teh growing tufts.It's almost summer and we need to have some grass so teh elk come... she though to herself cuasualy.

She stopped about a quarter mile away,and looked back at him.Come on slow poke, before the turtles beat you she smiled and her eyes glittered to show she was teasing.

WC-285 (pfft you called your last one short xDDD im not very detailed though..sorry o.e)

[Malicious]

"Not foolish...more like unique"

Maliku couldn't help but smile back at Desde's response. She was always very sweet, and he didn't expect her to think anything badly of him; he was more worried that she would think he was a clumsy fool. He watched as she padded closer and brushed off some of the snow on him with her tail, wriggling around to try and free himself more quickly. He didn't want to trouble her, so he tried to crawl out as quickly as possible so that she wouldn't have to help him much. Not that he didn't appreciate... He just didn't want Desde to have to fret over it.

"It's fine....and yes we should."

The Beta smiled back at her again, although it was a small and barely noticeable one. He was probably smiling more then and there than he had all week. He looked down and noticed the tufts of grass when he noticed that the she-wolf was walking to avoid them. He pulled his paws up quickly, pulling himself up into a standing position before looking over to see what Desde was talking about. He noticed the glint in her eyes, and started walking over.

"Come on slow poke, before the turtles beat you."

[/i]

"Very funny, but..." the black wolf began, walking over to the Huntress until he was almost level with her. Once he had caught up with her, Maliku broke off into a run, sprinting off as fast as his legs could carry him. Since he couldn't possibly outrun the other wolf on normal racing conditions, he applied his cunning to the ratio. He was more well-known for his cleverness, hence the main reason he was Beta. He was excellent at planning battle tactics, hunting plans, and other such things that came in handy for the Pack. However, such gifts could always be applied to a fun race.

"...The turtles would have to pass you if you want to catch up with me!" he called back in a joking tone, looking back at the she-wolf. He always had more fun when she was around. Often he could be quite the stick in the mud, and he almost always seemed more concerned with his work than anything else. With Desde, it was different though... She always made him more confortable with having fun; he never felt pressured to try and be perfect. Around her, he could have flaws, and not be ashamed of them...[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

(Sorry im late x3 lol and if you dont mind, from now on i shall be adding a picture of the moment c:)

When he called that out she smirked,and loped up the mountain.Her long legs sending her quickly towards him."We will see about that! she luaghed,and then she pushed foward even more.Since she was used to going on long fast runs she was good at going faster adn faster.She would usualy push herself to her limits becuase she loved to run, and loved to improve.She looked like a rabbit bolting up the snowy white tundra's, or weaving through the bare trees.

Once she was within leaping range of him, she smiled then smirked.She bunched her hind legs gently and leapt onto him playfully.Since they were both in mid-run, and she had not though of this, there legs and paws intertwined and jumbled together.She yipped and they both fell and rolled somewhat down the hill before stopping gently."Heh...oops" she chuckled nervously.Little did she notice she was laying on top of him.



p.s the colors are wrong,and its like accidental and more like..adorable :3

She pinned her ears back nervously once she noticed this,and smiled slightly.She sighed and looked up.Trying (not very well) to hide a blush.Her stunning ice blue eyes twinkled when she relized the sun was starting its deceant onto the horizon.Sunset.She looked back down at him, still laying on him,which she was still embaressed by.She smiled slightly,and her eyes lit up like a dancing flame.

She wasnt very heavy, becuase as everyone knew, she was very fragile and light."Erm....Sorry.." she mumbled looking into his warm eyes.His eyes showed emotions that she couldnt read, but they were there.Happyness, Anger, Bafflness, she didnt know... She blinked slightly,and her tail tip twitched gently sending snow flurries into the sky.
