Fanged Moon (Vampire\Werewolf battle) NEEDS MEMBERS BADLY!

[ruthyb]

"Violet, you don't have to fight." growled Jaquel, already in battle mode. "I thought you could stand this. I thought you talented, smart, streetwise. But I don't require you to fight. You do not have to fight for the pack that welcomed you into it's camp, giving you food, protection, and clothing. You do not have to repay them for their great deed and your lucky honor that we didn't tear you to pieces, all because I am their domoniant leader and didn't want you to be driven away, far away from our territory. You don't have to do a simple help, or 'chore', if you do not wish. Whom do you prefer, me or Lily? Think Violet. If you are part of this pack, you will fight. If you are not, leave us. NOW." Jaquel spat. He couldn't help his raising anger. All they had done for her! He had spared her life once, and what did he get in return? Atuitude? She didn't even consider him a friend. "Come, members of Silent Warriors Pack. Come and get our revenge." he called to the others. Then he stalked off towards where the vampires had long disapeared.

(( Why doesn't Violet even try to make friends? Just a question.))

[Wilderwuff]

(( Eeh, it kind of has to do with her upbringing. She wasn't really paid attention to in all her years living in the orphanage, and since no one had even given her consideration for adopting, she kind of realized that life sucked. x3 Plus, the other kids didn't treat her nicely, and the adults did nothing about it, so she's more or less very, very careful in who she trusts or considers a friend. They can do nice things for her, but they could easily turn around and beat her, you know? x3 Besides, the concept of friendships is a little alien to her, the poor girl. D: ))

Violet, though still in her human forms, had the urge to bristle. "You take me for a backstabber, eh?" she asked him, keeping his pace. "For some lazy idiot? If you don't remember right, Alpha, I've been a werewolf for, oh, maybe a month? I'm far from used to pack like, Jaquel. Nor does it interest me." She gave him a quick glare, but looked ahead again. "...But I'm staying, just to prove you wrong." She shifted into a werewolf, after a little concentration. She had a fierce and dangerous look in her eyes as she waited for the battle, wondering how he would take her words.

[ruthyb]

Jaquel focused is eyes straight ahead. Anger was rising inside him, bubbling like lava. He didn't understand. Why was it that nobody, NOBODY, could even consider him an accuiantence? He was trying to run a healthy pack, and, believe him, that
wasn't an easy job. "Fine, consider yourself an outsider. But let me warn you, my pack obeys ME. And if you think of yourself as just an outsider, they will treat you like one. Watch your words, young werewolf. If you do not wish to be part of this pack, I urge you to hunt and fight for yourself. My pack does not take nicely to an outsider stealing our food or clothes or hunting grounds or shelter. Just a warning, Violet. If you backsass me in front of those vampires, I will show you how a true, blood-born werewolf fights. I at least is not one who fears females. Listen to my words. I have not had a life where I sit around eating bonbons from silver platers either, Violet. I have spent a life of tiring work, like you. I will thank you if you will excuse yourself from my presence." Jaquel relized his voice was horribly calm, in a terrifing sort of way, just like his father's was. The thought made him growl, even in human form. He wanted nothing to do with his backround. But he wasn't a coward like Lily either. Jaquel ran ahead, changing into a werewolf as he went. "We will wait." he yowled to his pack.

Claire nodded and eyed the young vampire. She was unsure if she wanted to get into something with vampires she didnt know, but at the same time, couldnt resist a good fight. Her eyes shifted from their blood red, to their usual piercing gold.
"Young vampire, Lily, how is it that you welcomed me so quickly and easily into your coven, or pack, or whatever you seem to call it. Back in France, we are not so easily accepted, and it is years before we gain entrance into a group such as yours. tell me why."

[Wilderwuff]

Violet frowned. "Oh, I hate to disappoint," she said, "But I have no place to go. I guess you'll have to put up with me." Violet seemed unphased by Jaquel's words; she was used to getting growled at and such, figuratively speaking. She was going to stay and fight, because... well... what else could she do? Go and get hit by a car like the stray she was? A valid reason to stay popped into her head. Well, she was paying off her dept to the pack for taking her in temporarily. Once the battle was over and if she survived, she would go. It seemed fair enough to her. Jaquel hated her, and he said it himself; "I will thank you if you will excuse yourself from my presence." So, why hang around after she's payed off her debt?

The thought of leaving cast a sort of lonely feeling over her; she felt a little confused, but pushed the thought aside. She had to focus for battle, after all. She watched as Jaquel ran up ahead, thinking still of leaving after the battle.

[ruthyb]

Lily was dumbfounded by Claire's words. She stood still as a statue, pondering the question. Why was she so easily accepting? Well, she needed members. Jaquel's pack was deadly- but wait, Jaquel hadn't been as bad the last few years. "I do not know, Claire. I suppose I adjust to vampires quicker than werewolves. Perhaps I should give them more of a chance. I watch those I am willing to accept into my pack for a while before I offer. I see their skills, weaknesses, strengths, and learn about their personality. But you have pinned me. I do not know."

Jaquel watched Violet over his shoulder. She seemed really ticked off, and a little lonely. Jaquel thought about apologizing, and was feeling a little bad and admired her courage to keep coming. But then he saw the look in her eyes and his fury came back. She was only doing this to repay them, and then she would be gone. He decided to talk to her after the battle. Suddenly he stopped, tail high in the air. "Lily dissapeared here." he told his pack. "We will go after her and launch a surprise attack in her camp, right among the pups and babies, and scare them half to death. No touching the pups or babies or mothers, though."

[Wilderwuff]

Violet's thoughts were broken by the new declaration from Jaquel. Attack their camp? That seemed a little low to Violet--but the again, this wasn't her fight. She gave a small sigh, waiting for the attack group to head on.

Violet did not ignore the glare she received from Jaquel, however. What was that look for? He seemed furious; was he that pissed off at her staying? Or was it that he didn't want her to leave? Make up your mind, she wanted to tell him, but kept it to herself.

[ruthyb]

Jaquel couldn't stand the silence any longer. He looked at the sky and waited. Lily must just be telling her pack. "Ok, everyone! Let's go!" Jaquel leaped into the air and turned into smoke, is companions following. They traveled through air to the vampire camp. He turned in the misty smoke and saw Lance helping Violet. Lance, as a werewolf, was very young and pretty. Her coat was pure white, and even though as a human she was 40ish, as a werewolf she looked 15. Jaquel's watchful eye traveled to Emma and Manny. Emma was light gray with black speckles. Manny was a handsome fire-colored wolf with pure white eyes, except the pupil. Ok, they were kind of creamy, the color, and the outside ((like everyone's)) was white. Jaquel long fur flew behind him, silky and soft. His sharp eyes were a dazzeling blue in the night wind. His muscels rippled in his shoulders and back, his powerful legs straight ahead. His pointy ears were angled slightly, giving him a healthy look. He wondered if he was smiling. He also, though trying to ignore it, wondered if Violet was looking.

[Wilderwuff]

At first, Violet had no clue what had happened to Jaquel. Then, as the others disappeared, a feeling of weightlessness came over her. She looked down between her black paws, and discovered--not only was she a wolf again--they were flying? There were a lot of odd things about werewolves, she decided, and decided that freaking out over the situation wasn't going to help. Besides, the others were calm. As she looked around she noticed their pleasent expressions, and her violet gaze--entirely by accident, mind you ((-cough))-- fell on Jaquel, whom looked suprisingly elegent. She coud see his muscles from beneath his fur as it was tossed in the wind, the confident look in his pose, and--she looked away. What's wrong with you, a voice of reason scolded, and she turned her eyes to the earth that passed by rapidly beneath her. You're just going to leave anyway. Violet knew the voice was right.

[ruthyb]

Jaquel fell back as the pack came in for landing. He strutted through the air until his paws lightly touched the ground. Around him, his pack was following. Jaquel felt like something was missing. Then, he decided, it was because he didn't remember why he was about to start this battle. Except, of course, long ago mistakes and secrets. Jaquel pushed the thought away . He knew there was no backing out. It kind of surprised him that all along he was clueless to what he was doing. The night ride must have awakened him. "My pack," he began, a hint of doubt in his voice, "we are only a short ways from the Fanged Moon Pack's camp. In deep regret I tell you there will be a battle. It is merely an average one, over food and territory, freedom and rights. We must send a message to Lily's band. We rule this land. It is not theirs for the using. And if I catch anyone of you hurting the young or the sick, I will have to do what I must: I will embarrass you in front of the vampires. Hopefully they will get the message, and this battle will not have to be long. Perhaps we will be able to talk it out without fighting." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jaquel wished he hadn't said them. He had voiced his own hopes, therefore showing weakness to his pack. A sigh of relief escaped him as he saw they looked uneasy too. Jaquel looked around for Violet, and catching her eye, he nodded slowly as if to signal that he was sorry.
