Velvet || Female || 4 years || Undecided rank
Velvet’s appearance

Velvet took comfort in the short moment of affection showed to her by Remington, tail sweeping happily over the ground, before Kade stormed into the clearing, dragging Luna with her. Velvet was confused, piecing together as both Kade and Remington scolded the pup that she must have charged the buck, causing it to run at the hunters. She let out a short sigh as Remington finished speaking and left for the kill, before also addressing the pup.

”Luna, what you did today was very dangerous. You put your whole pack in danger, and could have easily been killed. Have you ever been injured by a buck? I’ve seen a fully grown packmate killed by antlers less intimidating than the ones on that stag; it’s not something you should mess with lightly.” She walked over to the pup and sat next to her. ”You may have been trying to prove you weren’t useless, but next time try and think of the consequences of your actions. It’s better to have a full, strong pack able to hunt and feed the young and old than it is to have a few wolves having to hunt for an injured pack. I forgive you Luna, but you need to be more aware of your own physical limits. A wolf pack is the strongest force out there, but only because we work together from each other’ strengths and weaknesses.”

The femme’s ear flicked as Remington called them all to take some meat. She licked the top of Luna’s head to show her forgiveness and trotted away. She didn’t want the pup to be too badly scolded, but at the same time Luna needed to understand the severity of her actions. She was at an age where she no longer had a constant supervisor to keep dangers away from her, but had only just reached that point so had yet to realise the effort adults put in to protecting their young. Hopefully this experience would teach her to be more aware of consequences. She sighed as she drew up to Remington, looking back towards the shrub as she pressed against him once more.

”She’s so young,” Velvet whined softly, ”If it weren’t for the situation we’re in she wouldn’t even have been on the hunt. I don’t think she meant any harm by her actions, she just doesn’t know any better yet. If only there had been enough of us so that some could stay behind with her at the clearing we met in. She should have had the chance to learn this lesson slowly, like most pups.” Velvet leant down to tear off part of the flesh, swallowing the meat and soothing the clenching in her stomach. It felt good to finally have food in her stomach, but it wasn’t safe to eat a full meal in the open. The femme was happy they were going back to where they originally met.

Tearing off a larger chunk, she gave Remington a last nudge. ”I’ll see you all back in the clearing.” She picked up the meat and turned, trotting away.

Kade frowned but backed off as Remington took over, taking a large chunk of meat from the carcass and following Velvet.

((Short, just a transition post. I'll continue in the main thread.))

Plot Update

Beneath the mountain range is a flat plain of short grass, kept that way by the herds that move through every so often. Part of these plains belong to Shadow's pack, the part which Remington's pack have entered. Now a small group of hunters from the pack are out searching for prey to bring back to resting pack members.

Raoula|Female|4 years old|Scout

Raoula padded through the knee-high grass. Every now and then, she lifted her muzzle to scent the air. Her tail flicked and she paused with one paw up, believing she had heard the canter of hooves. She turned in that direction and walked with a purposeful stride. If the pack was going to hunt, she may as well start hunting. Suddenly, she surprised a rabbit. It leaped up and fled, and she bounded after it. Before long she overtook it and slammed it into the ground, breaking its neck. Then she stood still, panting, hoping the squeal of the rabbit hadn't scared off all the prey.

Dakota || Male || 2 years old || Lead Hunter

Dakota watched Raoula walk off to start the hunt. He followed closely behind her. As she darted off towards a rabbit, Dakota's attention was towards something else. Far in the distance he could see a doe and a fawn. They were grazing alone. Dakota's mouth watered. His mind blocked out everything, staying focused solely on the prey. He watched the fawn closely. It took long steps and bounced through the tall grass around its more wary mother. Dakota began walking carefully towards them. He knew to hunt he would need a team, but he was bloodthirsty. Flashbacks of fighting and hunting and training from his old pack raced through his mind. He craved the taste of blood. The warm, thick, red blood. He licked his lips as more flashbacks of fighting other wolves came flooding into his mind. For a moment, just a moment, he wasn't Dakota. He was a bloodthirsty hunter. He cared about nothing but his next meal. He had an urge to kill this innocent fawn, an urge that was hard to resist; but he stopped. He waited for his pack to join him. He didn't want the fawn. He wanted to kill the doe. He needed to kill the mother.

Raoula stopped and looked over her shoulder as Dakota ran past her. Picking up the rabbit, she padded after him. She watched as he drew closer to a doe with her fawn, and stopped, dropping the rabbit. Hastily she buried it and followed, the scent of meat in her nose. Her gaze locked on the fawn and she dropped into a crouch, inching forward. At the last second she hesitated. Would a fawn really be able to feed the whole pack? She turned her attention to the doe, seeing that Dakota had done the same.

Kade || Female || Beta || 5 years old

Kade pulled herself to a stop beside Dakota. "The doe. Also, Rivers just went into heat; she's going off to look for stuff in the woods, alone, because I know she can take care of herself if attacked by another animal, but I really haven't known the males in this pack long enough to trust any of you," she explained, quickly and quietly, before turning her attention back to their prey.

With Raoula, they'd be able to take it for sure, but it was possible to get it alone. "Raoula, go for the fawn. It won't survive for long without the mother, anyway," Kade added, dropping into a crouch mid-stride.

((So short. I'll bring Rivers back in on my next post.))

Raoula|Female|4 years old|Hunter

Raoula looked up at Kade's arrival. When she told her to go for the fawn, Raoula nodded and turned back to her earlier intended target. She slithered forward on her belly, being sure to stay undercover so they wouldn't see her. The wind was favorable and she knew they couldn't smell her. She figured that with a leap and bound, she could bring the fawn down, but that would mess things up for Dakota and Kade, as the doe would then flee. She would go for the fawn when they struck, as the fawn was unlikely to be able to keep up and she could pick it off during the chase.

EDIT:Fixed a spelling error

Dakota || Male || 2 years || Lead Hunter

Dakota's ears went forward at Kade's remark. Can't trust the males? He shook the thought away, trying to not think about it. He'd been trying to gain they're trust and he thought he finally had, it was disappointing to hear that from Kade. But, realistically, Dakota probably wouldn't trust himself either. He had wanted Rivers from the start, avoiding her when she chose Sollux had been difficult. He imagined for a brief moment Rivers vein in heat, walking around with a littles bounce in her step; he wouldn't be able to control himself. He closed his eyes hard then focused back on the prey. Food. He crouched low, stalking closely towards the doe. Out of the corner of his eye he watched Raoula closely. She better wait... the fawns an easier target... He thought. He trusted Raoula as a hunter, even though he's never hunted with her before. He trusted she'd make the right decision, and instead of thinking about it and worrying about it, he began to act as though he were hunting with his old pack. Synchronized. He never needed to worry about anyone making mistakes, it was like they shared a mind when it came to hunting, so Dakota treated this hunt like he treated his other hunts.

Kade || Female || Beta || 5 years old

Kade erupted from the grass with little to no warning, and the doe and fawn attempted to run, but the she-wolf was faster. Instinct drove her; somehow she swept around the side of the pair, cutting them off, and leaped to latch her jaws around the throat of the doe.

Her instincts were right; the fawn stopped short, unsure of what to do with its mother under attack by an unknown force. Hopefully, Raoula would take her chance, before it realized that maybe it was a good idea to run. Until Dakota got there, Kade just had to hold on. She noticed Rivers, running toward them, but didn't think much of it.

(Her posts are so short recently. Ugh.)


RIvers || Female || 3 || Scout

Rivers was terrified. An unknown male had forced himself upon her, and she was terrified and running, trying to find her pack again, to warn them, so they could help her. She felt like some part of her had just been ruined and taken away; she was unwantable and dirty. Then she heard the commotion of a hunt and heard-saw-smelled Kade and Dakota and Raoula. Safe-safe-safe-help-me-save-me, her mind screamed, driving her forward to where the beta she-wolf was taking down a doe with their packmates. Dakota would hate her, Velvet would pity her, Kade would shake her head and apologize, but they'd all feel sorry for her. And what if she had pups? They'd be the lowest of the low; fatherless pups, unwanted by all.

Snapping herself from that train of thought, Rivers thought of what she'd even say. Somehow, though, she managed to get beside Kade, biting the doe, trying to drag her down.

Dakota || Male || 2 years || Lead Hunter

Dakota followed Kade, chasing down the doe. He went dark inside, and when Kade got a hold of the mother, Dakota couldn't wait to sink his teeth into its flesh. Instantly he felt sick, the need to kill it bothered him, but he soon got over it. The doe was dead. When Dakota looked up, he saw Rivers. When did she get here? Dakota instantly knew something was wrong. He walked cautiously up to her and gently rubbed his head against hers. "Are you okay?" He asked quietly. He was very concerned for her.

Velvet’s appearance

Velvet’s howl was quiet from the distance the hunting party were, but to most it should still have been audible. The source of the howl revealed that she was back where they had all stopped and decided to rest for the night. It had a frantic undertone, revealing that something wasn’t right. She wanted the pack to get back to her, and quickly.

Raoula|Female|4 years old|Hunter

Raoula went straight for the fawn as it stood bewildered, slamming into it. Before it had time to react, it was pinned beneath her and she went for the throat. Of course, it kicked and struggled, but it was young and could not save itself. Raoula heard a thud as the doe's body fell to the ground behind her, and knew the fawn was finished for sure. If it got away, the wolves were no longer preoccupied with the killing of the doe and would kill it themselves. When it fell dead, she stepped off it, noticing Rivers had arrived. Velvet's howl threaded through the air, a summons to the hunters to come back to the gathering place; she sounded uneasy. Unwilling to abandon the prey she had expended her energy for, Raoula padded back dragging the fawn by the neck.

Dakota ~ Male ~ 3 Years ~ Lead Hunter
Location: Forest
Mentions: Hunting Party

Dakota tumbled through the thick forest, pushing his way past branches and other small barriers. He was somewhat used to this kind of terrain from when he lived by the farm with his sister, but he never had to hunt in it. As the dark wolf crashed through the bushes, he remained unaware of the wolf following behind; and he had no idea which wolves had decided to come for the hunt. Finally he stopped, the scent of a deer caught his attention. His head dropped and he began smelling around. His mindset was focused on the end goal now, and that involved the rest of the hunting party. He turned to face the wolves who had decided to come. "We're bringing home a deer tonight." was all he said before turning back to face the direction of their prey.
