A Tale of Two Packs V2 (Play)

[belloblossom]

Storm | Fire Pack | Location: Border | Tagging: Karter

"Because he's a suspicious old wolf that doesn't know when to keep his nose out of something." She replied with a huff. "Things in the Fire pack.. They're not as friendly as they are back home." She frowned, taking pause at the word. Did she still consider the Lightning Pack her home? She sighed. "I can understand, better, comparing the two, why we were brought up thinking Fire wolves were savages and how they in turn, see us as soft." There she went again, speaking like she was a Lightning wolf still. It was one of the reasons she kept quiet in the camp. She didn't want to slip up in front of her new pack mates. Even after three months of leaving, she couldn't break the habit.

When he brought up the two reasons, she perked her ears.
"Sounds like he's got some Fire in him, this lead warrior of yours." She remarked. Did she know the wolf he was talking about? How did they discover she'd gone to the other side, rather than out as a loner. She gave Karter a wary look. She didn't suspect that he'd told on her, she trusted him enough-more than enough-to know he wouldn't do that... At least not at first. But had he kept her secret the entire time?

*Stop that.* She told herself. *You're becoming as suspicious as ol Three-Foot.*

As she continued to listen to his second reason, she became more and more still as he went on. He wanted her to stay, seemed to indicate that she could still go back. She would, too, if she was able. Rue... She had a life in the Fire Pack and she wasn't even aware of who Storm was. Perhaps the best thing she could do for her sister, would be to let her live her own life. And if it came down to a fight between the two packs, she would make sure that she wouldn't hurt her sister amidst it.
"I think I would, but there's something I need to tell you, Karter. Something I should've told you before I left... maybe that would've changed things..." She started, but stopped as a word dropped out of his mouth. Suddenly becoming as still as a stone, Storm held her breath.

His daughter... her mother... this Aala he kept talking about. Her throat became tight and she swallowed the words that would have bubbled out of her otherwise. He wasn't here for her after all. She'd been replaced by some... weakling healer who couldn't even protect her own pups when it counted. She felt tears forming in her eyes and swallowed hard.
"I had no idea... That you had a mate." She spat the word as though it was bitter on her tongue. "Was it while I was still...How long have you..." She looked away, wheels turning in her head. "How..." She stumbled for words and her flanks heaved as she forced air in and our of her lungs, trying to slow her heartbeat, which had picked up in a flurry of emotion, threatening to turn her breathing ragged. "I thought... that you and I were..." She looked up at him, pain written all over her face.

"Were we only friends? Did you never love me once, not once as much as I love you?"

Katniss/female/Tags:Peeta/Location:Camp/F-pack/Hunter Trainee/1yr and 8 months
She saw Peeta anxiously waiting with flowers and she walked over and teasingly ssid, "So, R those flowers for me?" He responded saying it was for Catania and he was going to give them to her tonight and tell her how he feels about her. She replied with mischief in her eyes, "Aww man!!! I thought those were for me." She smiled and teasingly head butted him. She knew he was her adopted sibling, but she thought there were general feelings for him. She knew that she could never win him over, so she focused on being his best friend. She replied, "Well, I'm going to get something to eat. See yah." She licked his cheek and and trotted off to the fresh kill pile and grabbed a mouse.

She finished eating and looked around camp. She snorted as she saw Kellin sleeping. She trotted up to him and said teasingly, "Having a good rest I see."

ATHENA

Athena smiled up at Mattias, pausing to think for a few minutes about what he had said. "If you are allowed to do that, please, that would be great. I also might need the help with the pups" she admitted drowsily. She placed her head back down on Mattias's warm and fluffy side.

Peeta/male/Tags:Open/Location:Camp/F-pack/1yr and 8 months/Warrior trainee
He watched Katniss eat her mouse and thought, she had a teasing tone with me tonight. He watched her snort and she walked over to Kellin and amused teasingly said something to him. His pelt burned as she used the teasing tone with Kelin. He thought, What is up with her tonight. He sighed and thought, nevermind, I need to focus with the task at hand. He whispered what he would say to Cantania.
"Cantania can I talk to u for a sec. Here r some flowers that I picked for u. So…um… I know ur my best friend. This is important that I need to tell u. Look, I know ur obsessed with Frost, and our friendship is so close. Here's the thing. I had to say this before I lost u forever. My feelings towards u happens to be more than being best friends. I…I…I love u Catania." He shook in fear as it was getting close to midnight. They should be coming home soon.

Bertrum/male/Tags:Open/Location:Camp/L-pack/Warrior/2yrs old
Being relatively young and had just graduated, Bertrum walked around in camp and thought, this truce has to be broken. He sighed and sat down. He looked over at the nursery and saw Riley. He felt his pelt getting hot and he blushed. He felt his heart skip beats, but then thought of the truce. He sighed and thought, If only there was a way to stop the truce.

MATTIAS | Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Athena, Pups | Location: Nursery


"Of course. That’s what I’m here for, isn’t it?" Mattias had promised a long time ago that he would be a good father. As good a father as he could possibly be, and maybe he didn’t know exactly what that meant, or what it entailed, but he WOULD do his best, even if between his Warrior duties and his parenting, he was worn down to almost nothing, it would be worth it to see him family happy and healthy, surely!

SHADOW | Alpha | L-Pack | Tagging: Rubin | Location: Meet Hollow


Beta Rubin has a very unique style. Attack, counterattack, dodge. Each is a single, nothing is combined. A dangerous style on his end, it could cause him some issues, but it looks like he knows how and where to use it. He managed to get a few good blows on me. Shadow mused.

The Alpha lunged once again, only for a heartbeat wishing she was of average size and could slide right under him to claw his belly, but she was not average sized. She was large by any standards, which made her better for brute strength attacks, and so that was exactly what she used, rushing at Rubin and turning her body at the last second to try and slam the majority of her weight agains the smaller wolf.


SIRA | Hunter | F-Pack | Tagging: Feluris | Location: Meet Hollow


Sira's expression didn’t change at all. She just nodded. "I’m glad. I know of some wolves who believe this truce may end like the last one. In chaos and ruin. I wanted to see if I could gather opinions on that," She explained. It must have seemed an odd question, coming out of the blue all of a sudden. Of course, she wouldn’t and couldn’t say the whole truth. Not yet, but she wouldn’t cover up with a lie either.


KARTER | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Storm | Location: Fire Border


Us. Storm had referred to herself more than once as if she was still one of the Lightning wolves. That had been no accident, he told himself, it had been intentional, because she was a Lightning wolf at heart. Or at least, he hoped, and for a brief moment, a mixture of hope and awkwardness sparked through him. It would be terribly awkward for her to come home with all that’s changed, but...it was still HOME. Then the young, pale furred she-wolf spoke of Spitz, and for a moment, Karter was confused. Had she forgotten him? He had stopped them both. She had been lucky enough she could flee when Shadow had given her blessing to find her sister. The same blessing to leave had not been granted to Karter himself. He’d spent too long being litter and regretful, but it had never stopped.

"I have to wonder if it’s where he originated from, but he was with the Lightning Pack since before I was born." Karter's pale eyes narrowed to tiny slits. "He said he was guarding the nursery in the big battle, but some Warrior he makes. The Pups were attacked, and Aala would’ve been attacked by that cursed she-wolf Octavia if not for the Alphas," He remembered. "Spitz stood and watched, and still calls himself a Warrior."

Worry crossed his face as she spoke. "Okay? What’s the matter?" Then she had stopped, and he momentarily closed his eyes, as if that could block out the look of shock and dismay on his former Packmate's face. "Aala and I? Well...apparently she liked me from the time we first met, about two years ago. Maybe a bit more. I didn’t really talk to her for a long time though, and overtime, things changed. About two months ago, we fell in love and...now we have Pups, though a couple of them have caused us a fair bit of...distress." He froze as she asked about THEM. "What?!? You thought we were...?" He shook his head vigorously. "I WISH!"

That was the truth. Karter had spent a long time wishing that things had been different. Too long. In the end, he’d even spoken to Aala regarding it before they actually began their relationship officially, and she had back then tried to soothe his nerves with the simple explanation that Storm wasn’t there, and Karter and Aala both were. Had it been a good reason? No. Had it felt like reason enough in his conflicted state at the time? Yes. He felt a fool for it again now though. That had been enough to help him to recover. What did that say about him? Even more, did that feel valid now, while he stood there, looking upon the first Wolf he had ever loved? Absolutely not. He was about to respond to this when she had spoken again. Then Storm admitted she had once loved him. His heart seemed to stop for a long moment. No way...we always just joked around and goofed, I never thought... Karter couldn’t even finish the thought.

"You...loved me?" His heart ached like it had only once before, when she had first left. This was the absolute WORST time to say anything, but it had been Storm who had asked the question in the first place. He nodded. "I did. I do. That’s part of the reason I tried to make you stay. I thought that one day...things could be different. And they are, but not necessarily for the better. I never said anything, you never said anything. I didn’t know what to think. I thought we were just best friends, but...I guess we’ve both figured out tonight the consequences of holdin' your tongue too long."

Far too long. On one hand, Karter was elated he’d gotten the chance to see her, even if they interaction at the moment was a BIT awkward. On the other hand, he wished he hadn’t come at all.
