[Fully Alive]

I would like to adopt!
Number: 20
Picture:
Name: Damien
Species: Wolf and 1/4 dog
Personality: Damien is a Loner at heart, and prefers to keep to himself, But he won't complain if someone wants to talk, He just finds it difficult to find a subject to talk about, and feels a little awkward when talking to people of a higher authority. Damien is creative, And loves to express himself by any means possible, Such as sketching murals on the cave walls with any chalk he may come across, Or drawing in the dirt with sticks.
Likes: Damien loves relaxing in the sun, it's one of his favourite things to do, But he loves expressing himself even more. As a pup he would draw instead of play, or write a poem as opposed to training. His parents weren't happy with this a first, But after a while they embraced his creative spirit.
Dislikes: Damien Hates loud noises, So it's natural that he would dislike loud people, Whenever he comes across one he avoids them, but he does it subtly, as he dislikes being rude. He also isn't a fan of fighting, But that doesn't mean he wont defend himself if need be, he often uses evasion to win his battles rather then strength, and jumping on a wolf's back and biting into the neck is his most used tactic.

Background-

Damien sat under a large oak, doodling in the dirt, He didn't know what it was, He was just drawing what he felt, Which was, right now, Peacefulness.The amber leaves slowly floating down from it's branches, before landing on the floor gently. Damien closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh autumn air, before putting his head on his paws. He laid there for a few minutes, before perking his ears at the sound of a snapping twig What was that? He thought as he lifted his head to look around. Must've been a rabbit or something... He thought with a quick nod, before laying his head on his paws again, His eyes slightly open, scanning the nearby woods for any movement. Damien then jumped up as he heard yet another sound Ugh He thought That's it! He growled, his hackles raised and his teeth bared "Come out!" He snarled "Now!"
"Whoa, Keep your pants on wolfie" A dark figure chuckled, hidden behind by the various shrubs and vegetation that grew in these woods. Damien tilted his head to side, Not recognising the voice he had just heard "Uh...Who is it?" He asked the figure "Do I know you?"
"I think you do Damien" The male said, before stepping out of the darkness. Damien sighed, Great he thought, It was Ryan, who just so happened to hate him with a vengeance, "What do you want Ryan?" He said, keeping his head low and avoiding eye contact.
"Oh nothing, I just want you out of the pack, since you're my only competitor for the beta male spot, and I really don't want to have to work for it "
"I don't care if you want me out, I'm not going" Damien growled "It's my home, And I'm Going to be beta"
"Oh, Really?" Ryan snarled "I think you might" Ryan jumped at Damien, snarling and snapping, and aiming for his throat. Damien swiftly dodged the attack, And laughed. Ryan seemed to use brute strength, which slowed him down quiet considerably, So Damien had a slight advantage. Ryan snarled and lunged again, which Damien jumped away from. He then jumped onto Ryan's back, and started biting and scratching at his back. Ryan let out a pain filled howl, and kicked Damien off. He slumped down and sat there, His back and neck dripping with blood.


A female ran into the clearing, a horrified expression on her face "Who's hurt? I heard a howl-" She stopped as she took in the appearance of both males, Ryan dripping with blood, and Damien without a scratch, she shook her head. the female raised her hackles and snarled at Damien "Traitor!" She howled. Damien tilted his head "B-but, He attacked me!" He yelled franticly, But The female laughed "Oh yeah? Then why is he the only one hurt?!" Damien struggled to find an answer, before taking to the forest as he heard his pack approaching. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, tears streaming down his face. He heard his pack yelling after him, snarling the word 'traitor' over and over. Damien shook his head, trying to block the sounds out, He couldn't bare it any more. He started to run faster, and sighed with relief as the sounds died down. He crawled into a hollow tree root, and curled up, trying to get some sleep.

"Hey" A pup said as he prodded Damien with a stick "Wake up". Damien slowly opened his eyes, to find himself in a healers den, a group of wolves crowded around him, All of them wearing a mask of worry.
"Who are you people?" Damien asked the group "Where am I?"
"Oh, You're in the Dawn pack's Healer den" A young wolf barked
"Why Am I here?" Damien rubbed his eyes and sat up, Before letting out a yawn
"We found you alone in the woods" A female answered "We thought you needed a place to stay"
"You Looked battered" An elder cut in
Damien nodded, before getting up. He looked around "Thanks" He said simply, before padding out of the den, And into the bright outdoors. He tilted his head as he absorbed His new environment, It was far more pretty then his last pack. Long, Green grass covered every inch of the ground, making it look like a huge green carpet. A bubbling stream ran around the border of camp, leaving it secure and safe from intruders, and a Large golden/brown oak sat in the middle of camp, Providing shade for most of the area. It was beautiful, peaceful and tranquil.
A Young female walked up behind him "Pretty Isn't it?" She said as she sat down beside Damien.
Damien looked at the the female, She has chocolate-brown fur, With bright blue eyes, One of her ears was folded, With the other up right. She looked very puppyish and young, but it was obvious she was a full grown wolf "Yeah" He answered "Far nicer then my packs"
"Oh, You already have a pack?" She asked, Her ears drooping down, she looked down at her paws "We were hoping you'd stay here..."
"No, I don't have pack" Damien sighed "I was kicked out for fighting with a Fellow wolf, and they thought I had provoked him" He looked around "It doesn't seem like there're any fights here, So I guess I won't get kicked outta this one" He laughed
"Yeah, There aren't very many fights here, Its really peaceful. So do you want to stay?" She asked, while tilting her head to the side slightly "We'd love to have you in out pack, And we're always looking for more members"
Damien looked down as he thought...before looking at the female again "Sure, I'm Damien by the way...What's your name?" He asked
"Oh, How silly of me!" She giggled "The name's Moon, I'm the healer, so if you ever get hurt come to me okay?"
Damien nodded, a smile stretching across his black lips "Okay, I will"


Damien Padded around slowly, taking in his environment. It was pretty calm, with a few pups occasionally breaking the ambiance of the meadow. He liked his new home, but he missed the coolness and security of the forest. He threw a look over his shoulder at the woods behind him, and twitched as he thought about going in there....He looked around casually, before strolling in. The dampness brought back memories of his old pack, His parents to be frank. He let out a sigh, and sat on a mossy log. He glanced around, and stopped dead as he smelt a familiar scent...He jumped up, Hackles raised and teeth bared, Knowing his pack were nearby. "Come out, I know you're There!" He snarled as he scanned the surrounding forest, and let out a yelp as a large wolf slammed into him. He looked up to see his former alpha on top of him "What are you doing here!" Damien spat at him
"I'm here to kill a traitor!" The alpha Wolf snarled, before sinking his teeth into Damien's shoulder.
He let out a yelp, and attempted to push the huge wolf off, with no avail. He struggled, and started scratching at the wolfs face. The male howled and staggered backwards, his face died crimson "Filthy mutt!" He growled before lunging at Damien again. This time Damien had time to dodge, and he swiftly avoided his attack. He then jumped onto the wolfs back, and bit into his neck with all his strength. The male howled in pain, and collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily. Damien panted, Most of his fur drenched in blood, He shuddered and slumped down, trying to catch his breath. He perked his ears as he heard movement nearby, and groaned internally Not more He whimpered, before rolling back onto his stomach, and then to his feet. His ears were flat against his head as ten snarling wolves circled him, They looked at their injured alpha, and growled even louder. Damien sighed "Go on then, Kill me, I don't care anymore..."
He closed his eyes, and waited for deaths embrace....After a few seconds of silence, He slowly opened his eyes, to see the wolves retreating back into the forest "What the-?" He said, before glancing behind himself. A large smile stretched across his face as he saw all of his new pack behind him, Moon in front
"I thought you could use some help" She laughed, before padding up to him "Looks like you'll need some bandages on these wounds" Moon added as she scanned Damien's Blood-drenched fur
"How did you know I was going to be here?" Damien asked incredulously
"Thats something for me to know, and for you to find out" Moon answered simply with a grin.

Yay! Cheesy ending^^

Background:

East woke to the rising moon. It's silver light reached East's eyes and she blinked. Beside her, her brother, Stalagmite, groaned in his sleep.
"Wake up, Stag! It's night again." East whispered. Stag opened his eyes in a hurry and he fell from his perch in the cavern.
"I'm Ok." He called up to East. East sighed annoyedly and went to retrieve her brother. "I'm OK." Stag said. "I don't need your help." He grunted and crossed his wings across his chest.
"Oh stop it, Stag. Come on, now. It's time to hunt." East uncrossed Stag's wings and jumped off her sleeping perch. About half-way to the ground, East unfurled her wings and started to flap them up and down, catching the currents of wind that flew through the cave.She turned her head behind her so that she was looking at Stag. He was following close behind her.
She flew a mile or so until the light of the stars shone through cracks in the cavern roof. Flapping her leathery wings harder, East flew up almost vertically and pulled in her wings closer to her body, so that her streamlined body could fit through the vertical shaft.
East sniffed in the fresh mountain air that filled her sense. Below her, now, stood a pine forest. She heard extra flapping behind her. Diving at a 360 angle, East saw Stag right behind her. He was giving her a puzzled look that said clearly, "What the heck are you doing?" East just smiled softly and swooped down closer to the pine trees. They filled her nose with scents of flowers and pinecones.
"Stag." East said. She started to hover in the air so he could catch up to her. "I think we should start hunting. I can just feel the mosquitos flying around us. If we don't hurry, they'll suck our blood clean." Stag just nodded.
"We'll split up, " said East. "I'll go east, naturally, and you'll go west." Stag did a flip in the air and flew off. His big, leathery wings seemed to break the momentary silence. East headed due east and into the heart of the pine forest.
There, the smell increased. She also smelt something different. The new smell was sharper and clearer, like it was right in front of East. It also smelt something of death.
East ignored it and flew on deeper into the maze of pines. She soon came to a pond. 'Perfect.' East thought. Water meant humid conditions. And humidity meant insects. Licking her lips, East dove in for the kill. She opened her mouth and instantly caught thirty mosquitos in her mouth at once.
She dove down again and this time, caught instead of tiny bugs, caught a large wasp in her mouth. It was too big to swallow whole, so East flew silently over to a tree branch to eat her meal. She ripped off it's thorax and began to eat.
The wasp filled East up and she found that she could not eat anymore insects. She took back to the skies and was so concenetrated on the rise and fall of the wind currents to notice that she was not alone in the sky. So before East could react, a large talon caught her by the wing.
She panicked and went into a state of hysteria. She looked up to see her captor and she stared right up into the talons of an owl. East screamed. The owl screeched and hooked it's talon over her mouth. She tried to scream again but the sound was muffled by the large talon.
East struggled to get free of the owl's icy grip but it's talon was sharp and with every move, East was meet with another, tighter pressure and more red blood. So East stopped struggling. The owl was still flying when the rain fell. It screeched loudly and tried to continue in the downpour. It's wings were getting soaked and East was only partially dry because of the owl's body protecting her.
The owl tightened it's deadly grip around East's chest so it would not lose it's meal. Then lightning started to strike all around them. East was frightened. She had never been in a storm before. If she could, East would've cried. She wanted to be back at the cave. Away from this owl and with Stag.
Lost in her thought's East never noticed the owl screech in pain as a lightning strike hit it square on the chest. The owl screeched louder and it echoed through the forest. It's grip loosened and east was plummeted to the earth as she kept her wings furled. But realizing she was free, East flapped out her leathery wings which were torn with holes by the owl's talons. Wind whipped through the holes and it felt like she was falling slightly. But East tried to press on forward.
Suddenly the wind picked up and the holes in her wings made it impossible to stay aloft. She clumsily feel to the ground and hit a tree branch. It stopped her fall. But it also broke her left wing. As she cried out in pain, East realized that these were not pine trees. she was in a different forest. A different land. A different place. She was lost.
The owl had made her lost. And now East was lost in possibly a different world. But she couldn't just sit here and give up and die. So two weeks later, when East's wing was good enough to fly, East made the best of her new home, and found that being solitary was her way of life.
East never went back to that cave where she could see the stars through small cracks. She looked at the stars through clear sky with only tree leaves to stop her view.
The view was wonderful.

HA HA I SUCK YOU GUYS.

My internet is back. It turns out I unplugged my TV in my room to make room for my fan. And that was the plug for the surge protector for cable and internet in our entire house.

It's fixed, the plug is marked so I don't unplug it again, and I can now take all your slot applications.

[SilverHund]

Yay! How's mine?

Adoption cap request form is now on the bottom of the first post!

[SilverHund]

When's the code drop? [end of spam]

[Atwood]

This round ends in five days - if you look at the last time the donations post was edited, it will usually be one week from that date. :3 The codes may be released a day or two after that time, and I suspect it'll be a little later than usual for this one, given how many applications there are this round.
