I See it Only One Way 1X1 With HowlingWolf

[Larynx]

:Ilianda:
She jumped at the sound a name she grown to fear but hate as well. With a gasp of surprise at the voice's familiarity, she turned and doing the first thing that came to mind, she extended her claws and hauled herself up a tree, luckily for her quite a tall one. She hurried to perch atop a tall branch, knowing her lighter weight would be an advantage. Looking down she spied two distinct leopards rushing towards her. Recognizing them her hear filled with dread. Even so she felt her fur bristling, her lips pulling back and her ears folding back.

:Jarume:
He dropped to the sand, little red puffs blowing away int he wind. He sighed heavily, and coughed, wincing at how much it hurt his lungs and throat. At lease he had given them a warning, perhaps saved them. But he couldn't give up yet, not as long as he drew breath. He pulled himself forward, gritting his teeth against the pain, determined to reach them, to do what he could and more. It was Namir's mistake, Jarume had to try and make it his last.

Abhay

Abhay slowed as he came to the spot of trees and rocks where he knew the cave was near by. "Ilianda...?" His voice was soft, but worried as his yellow eyes searched frantically for her. He moved quickly but quietly around, looking and smelling for anything that might lead him to her, but being so frantic to find her he didn't listen for the things around him. A loud yowl escaped his jowls as he felt something slam into his side, sending him into a near by rock with a force that left him out of breath, struggling to draw in air and extreme pain throbbing through his sides with each gasp.

Namir

Namir ran on, looking for any spotted pelt he could find. Seeing as he knew that Ilianda was alone and probably panicing. Locking his gaze on a moving figure, he picked up his speed with some stuggle at first, but he managed to push pass the pain. He figured it would just be best to end this as quickly as he could, as much as he would rather play and make her suffer for a bit before he killed her off. Ducking his head down he just rammed the figure with such a force that shot a small amount of confusion and pain through his head.

:Ilianda:
She watched horrified as Namir slammed himself into Abhay sending him flying. "ABHAY!!" She screamed as she darted along a branch and jumped off, aiming for Namir with claws extended and teeth bared angrily. She dug her claws into his back as she landed heavily onto him, knocking the breath out of her, but she scratched and bit furiously. Letting all her hyped up emotions out she channeled them into her fierce snarling and growling, surprising her self at how angrily aggressive she sounded. She leaped off him and swatted at his face, hissing, manuervering herself to stand between Namir and Abhay. "How dare you!" She screeched, raking her claws against his face.

Namir

It took a bit for the large leopard to recover from the hit. He shook his head slightly before looking at the spotted heap by the rock. His attention was soon drawn away as he heard a rather loud yell behind him, followed by a heavy fall to the ground when something landed on his back. He could feel the claws digging into his back and the blood welling up rather quickly and just as he was about to roll over the pressure was relieved. Standing up he met with Ilianda's fierce gaze and at that moment he realized who he had hit instead of his original target. He couldn't help but just laugh. He laughed through his heavy breathing and the blood that had seemed to come out of no where after Ilianda had swatted him in the face. "Of course, how dare me. I shouldn't have done that to poor Abhay." He let out another small chuckle. "But you, miss, should have stayed hidden." He flicked his tail lightly with amuesment. "Because I am going to have you watch me kill your precious Abhay and you will follow right after. But of course only after I have a little fun with you."

Abhay

Abhay's eyes started to grow smaller black spots on them with each tantalizing breath he drew in. His lungs burned with each drawn in and a few ribs rubbed together with every movement. He managed to turn his head slightly and see Ilianda standing in front of Namir in a protective position. He attempted to call out Ilianda's name and tell her to get back into her hiding spot for fear of what would happen to her, but all that managed to come out was a few mangled coughs followed by blood.

:Ilianda:
She snarled, baring her fangs angrily as she felt her fur bristle and puff up to make her look twice as big. "If it was me you're after then you should've brought the fight to me, and I alone." She swung her paw out hoping to once more rake his ugly face with her claws. "If this is how you choose your fights then you've obviously never fought an angry mother before." She regretted the words, but then it wouldn't make a difference as he'd find out eventually. She refused to glance back at Abhay, knowing it would make her heart feel as if it was being squeezed. Instead she focused her hostile eyes at the enemy standing before her.

:Jarume:
With a groan he pulled himself to his paws, one at a time, hating how every one of his limbs seemed to be on fire with each small step he took. But he had to get through it and get back to his clan, it was his only hope. He would be of no use in the fight he knew was raging between the lovers. If he could get help...If only, if only. He hauled himself across the sand, making agonizingly slow process. He gritted his teeth and forced his legs to move faster and faster until the pain became a dull throbbing. A mile had passed, and he hissed in dismay at the 2 miles left. He began to call out for his leaders, knowing he wouldn't reach the clan fast enough.

Namir

Namir dodged her second swipe with ease, and shook the blood that had dripped into his line of vision, but stopped in mid shake of his head hearing the word 'mother'. A deep laugh escaped his chest. "Oh this makes it so much more interesting." He lashed his tail as his shoulder fur began to rise as well as his upper lip in a snarl, showing off his yellowed canines. "Best get this over with then." With a rather sick smile, he lunged forward, batting her head down with his large paws, his jowls making for the back of her neck.

Abhay

Abhay managed to shift his head slightly to watch what was going on. Seeing his father lunge for Ilianda caused him to let out a snarl that sounded more like a failed kit's meow. He folded his ears back as he supressed a gag as a rather thick metallic liquid made it up through his throat. His body racked and shook with the cough, but he wasn't about ready to give up quite yet.

[Larynx]

:Ilianda:
With a snarl that held a note of surprise she twisted away onto her back, feeling his teeth graze her fur. She couldn't help but flinch at the sight of Namir on her, that soon turned to extreme loathing. Hissing she reached up with her forepaws and battered his face relentlessly, rewarded with red sprays of blood shining in the fading light. Using her small size to her advantage, she easily slipped her legs underneath the eemy and after a short burst of tearing, pushed him off and away. Leaping to her feet once more, she snarled at him, eyes glittering with hate as she replied, "Indeed it shall as I now not only fight for myself." She lashed her tail when Namir stepped closer and raised a paw poised to strike, large black claws extended and now tinged with red. "A mother's fury isfueled my mother's of the past." She surprised herself with that statement, where had that come from!?

:Jarume:
Growling amidst howls of pain he trudged along, noticing with dismay that he was slowing down, and looking back was the clear sign of his passage. He was a blind impala out here now. But he continued to call out for them, hoping they would hear above the din of a battlefield, and for it to be the right leopards. He started when ahead a loud yell was made and familiar shapes burst out of the undergrowth. His heart fluttered with new hope.

Namir

Namir gave a small, bloody chuckle at Ilianda. "So full of fire you are." He shook his head, sending blood in all directions. He lept forward again, raking his claws down her shoulder multiple times before dashing back and letting another laugh escape him. "Oh really now? Well I hope that that's a nice and strong fuel, because you are going to need it." He gave an evil grin and attempted once again trying to bat her head down and grab the back of her neck, but instead of staying in the position he dodged down and attacked from the side, hoping to get a good grip on her neck.

:Ilianda:
It felt as if her body was on fire, the pain was almost unbearable. Growling, she limped away to face Namir a small smile of satisfaction appearing at the sight of blood flowing from him. She was the one who had caused him such pain, she only hoped that she would be able to keep herself from giving up. She growled, hissing with rage at how her thoughts were turning desperate. She forced herself to keep thinking about her unborn kits, her Abhay, oh precious Abhay, and least of all her own life. They were the most important now. The large leopard charged from the side, and Ilianda crouched, feeling the muscles cry out in pain. Waiting until the brute was seconds from colliding with her, she pivoted, heels digging into the dirt as she swung a paw out, sharp claws extended, to run along the length of Namir. She roared with pleasure as she felt her claws slice through fur and flesh.

:Jarume:
The world was spinning, making odd, scary shapes as he tried to pinpoint the voices shouting around him. Yowling in pain and confusion, he closed his eyes, trying to block out everything but the voices. "Go to them! Quit blabbering like fools and save them! Back by the secret!" He shouted, not caring that his voice cracked and it was only a harsh whisper. It must have been enough though, because the world quieted. Save for one soft voice that said, "Just rest now, they've gone to them, Healer."

:Kitsula:
Rage exploded, it was the only emotion he experienced, even the fear for his only daughter was washed away. Seeing Jarume had tugged at his heart, but the Healer's words had seen him tearing off to save them. He leaped through brush and over logs, ignoring all but the path before him as he imagined what he would do to Namir. A roar of anger and grim determination echoed before him, sending every creature ahead bolting for safety.

:Mernaya:
Her daughter! Her only, precious daughter! How dare he! After so many years, he was still a menace. This time she would not be kind or turn the other cheek. She pushed her legs into a blur of motion as she surged ahead to save her daughter. A cold fury settled on her, thoughts filling with images of the past and of an immediate future filled with the death of Namir. Snarling as she burst through brush and around trees, she flew past her mate. Kitsula soon fell behind as a mother's rage urged her on.

Namir

Namir felt his side ripped apart, his side going to ribbons. He gave a small but grim smile. He knew that this was his last stand, he wasn't going to last much longer. Stumbling slightly from the blood loss, he looked at Ilianda. "You look so much like your mother." Giving his head yet another bloody shake, he rolled his shoulder back painfully. "Lets just get this over with shall we?" He bared his teeth in a low growl. "Finish me. You deserve to." He glanced back at the crumpled body of Abhay. "Besides, I don't think he will be able to last much longer without a healer." Looking at her body as well, he added. "I don't think you will either, but I'm okay with that. As long as you come with me." He gathered his energy and launched himself forward once again, not really aiming for a certain spot to hit.
