In the Silence, you'll Hear our Screams | Wolf RP; Accepting

[iomedae]

Zev looked at the small pup. He chuckled, a hint of humor glinting in his eyes. "So I've been told," he barked simply. He paused for a moment, then began back again. "Where's your family, young one?" He asked. Pups didn't tend to stray too far away from the pack. It was a very dangerous stunt to pull, even for the bravest of pups. Most of them were taught that at a very young age.

Daciana let out a yelp as a large wolf leapt out from the bushes.
"Get off, you fiend!" She howled. She scrambled to her paws, eyes locked on the new character that had just appeared in her new chapter of life. "How dare you?! Don't you know who I am? I rule this land, far as you could ever see! This is all of mine, and don't you ever forget it!" Every hair on the ebony she-wolf stood on edge, so she looked twice the size she had been just seconds before.

Ember's ears dropped.

"The b-bad guys k-k-killed them." she said sadly, pawing at the ground.

She shivered as the screams echoed in her memory.

Flashes of blood. Crying followed by diabolical laughter. Horrors no child should have to see.

"Mean, bad wolves. Led by a girl with g-gold eyes."

Adham rolled his eyes. Dramatic much?

"Calm down, Danciana." he sneered her name like a swear word, which was a pretty reckless thing to do;

Most would be stammering an apology, bowing and calling her queen by now. But not Adham. No, he was not afraid of this child. He admired her tactics, power and the cool, cruel air that seemed to radiate from her.

But had no fear of her. She was nothing without her army.

"I was simply teaching you a lesson. You should know better than to let your guard down, I could have killed you there."

He grinned tauntingly.

"Some leader you are."

[iomedae]

Daciana narrowed her cunning golden eyes, the narrow slices cutting into the foggy morning. That was the first time she'd got a good look at the other wolf. He was very... homely. Only three legs, and one eyes. She let out a sigh. "Teaching me a lesson? You can't teach me. In fact, if anyone was teaching anything here, I'd be teaching you. You don't rule this land. What makes you think you're better than me?" Her question echoed through the land. The birds, the insects, and the wind itself seemed to have stopped all together. "And besides, why would I need to always keep my guard up? everyone fears me. They know the damage I could do to them. To their family." She retorted, a smirk crossing her face.

Zev looked at the little pup. He felt sympathy for her. He quickly gave her a reassuring lick on top of her head. "Don't worry. We're going to find her. We'll get her back for what she did to you. What she did to all of us." The breeze ruffled the white wolf's pelt; his eyes spark with defiance. Little did he know, but this was the start of a rebellion.

[BrightEyedSoulSister]

Adham snorted.

"Please. Have you looked at yourself lately?"

He padded around her in a circle, flicking his tail slightly, and took in the sight of this so called "ruler": She was beautiful, he would admit. Obviously a good huntress, and very confident.--Maybe a little too confident. She was also very small.

"You're scarcely bigger than a dog, overconfident, and don't pay attention."

He brought himself to his full size as he seated in front of her. Seeing her fierce expression, he almost laughed--She was so easily influenced.

"So tell me, oh mighty queen: Where would you be without your army?"

"Ick!" Ember grimced as Zev licked her head; She had always hated it when her mother did that. Looking up at him with huge eyes, she wagged her tail.

"What are you going to do? Is there a secret I don't know about? Adults never tell me anything!"

((I think I'm going to change Adham's appearance so he has all his legs and a few scars; He wouldn't be very good in battle with only three, plus I keep picturing him differently.))

[iomedae]

((Okay! Re-accepted!))

Daciana's eyes glittered with anger.
"Why would I tell you?" She asked, an icy fire rising up within her. "And so what if I'm small? Are you questioning me? I could easily make you wish you were dead!" Her voice sounded like nails scratching against a chalk-board; the odd frequency sent a shiver through her, though she stood her ground.

Zev looked down and smiled at the pup. I would tell you if I knew... He thought. "First we need an army." He decided after a pause. That works... He shrugged the thought off. He looked at the sky. The sun was beating down on the parched earth. He finally realized he was panting from the sun's powerful rays.

[BrightEyedSoulSister]

"You think you are strong," the older wolf silently trotted over to a large tree and ran his claws down the trunk, making sure they were nice and sharp.

"But are you really? What would you do if your warriors turned against you?"

He gave an annoyed bark, followed by a low chuckle.

"You are a dramatic one, aren't you?"

He raised an eyebrow.

Ember glanced around, unsure of what to say.
Wagging her tail slightly, she changed the subject.

"I'm Ember!"

[iomedae]

By then, Daciana was infuriated. "Do you think I just went up to them and said "Hey, you are now my warriors!"?! Surely, I would've had to've done something to make them fear me. There was one wolf who didn't do as I said. Let's just say she won't be... living anymore," she explained.

Zev looked down at Ember. "Well then, hello Ember. I'm Zev." His voice was calm, in a sort of way. He wasn't completly sure what there was to do. "So... Are you hungry...?" He asked slowly, unsure of it was the right thing to say.

((Sorry for the short post...))

[BrightEyedSoulSister]

Now Adham barked out a real laugh, the loud noise disturbing the silence of the forest.

"So you pulled the old torture card, huh?"

His eyes glinted with a sort of cruel amusement only a true killer could pull off.

"I must say, I didn't think you had it in you! But remember girl, there are strength in numbers."

XXX

Ember opened her mouth to say that she could hunt for herself, but was cut off by the rumbling of her stomache.

"Maybe a little bit," she admitted, embarressed.


((It's alright, mine are a little short too. ))

[iomedae]

Daciana didn't say anything more, just stared at the sky hostile-y. She had to admit that he was right. She didn't think that her army planned on attacking her soon, but if they did, they had the upper hand.

Zev chuckled lightly. "Well, we should probably find some food," he barked. "I'm a bit hungry myself."

[BrightEyedSoulSister]

Adham took her silence as a sign he had won. A grin spread across his scarred face.

"Me: 1
Rookie: 0.
Remember this lesson, girl."

"Okay! Are you a good hunter? Are you in a pack? I can't remember which pack I was in. That was a long time ago. I was just a baby then, and I'm three whole weeks old now!"

She barked proudly.

((Sorry WB.))
