Stay by my Side (Semi-lit wolf rp)

[Wildmagic_warrior]

Race blushed heavily and curled up in a far corner, away from the entrance and from Aries. "It's big enough," he mumbled, not sure how to deal with what had just happened. He had been alone for far too long- he had never had need nor chance to develop what one might call "social skills".

[Nyxeva]

She chuckled and leaned forward to tug on his tail. "Then lets play!" She crouched, her tail wagging, the tip brushing the ceiling of the cave. She yipped once at him, her tongue lolling out of her mouth.

[Wildmagic_warrior]

Race winced, and backed further into the corner. "Wait," he began, confused. She looked ridiculous, with her tongue hanging out. "Play? What's that?"

[Nyxeva]

"You don't know what playing is?" She sat down and tilted her head cutely, her eyes on him. "Do you remember what you used to do in the Nursery? Before Beka decided to force you out?" The second question was a growl that bordered on a snarl, making it obvious that Aries did not agree with the alpha's decision.

[Wildmagic_warrior]

Race flinched slightly at the growl in Arie's voice, then looked up at her and said, "That was more than three years ago. I can't remember anything that early. I don't even remember what my mother looked like, and I don't know if I ever met my father. The only reason I know Beka is my aunt is because other loners I would meet always told me how sorry they were for me, that I could possibly be related to such an awful wolf." Race paused for a moment, then added, "I don't think she's really that mean. She was just upholding the Law."

[Nyxeva]

Aries snorted and shook her head. "I promise you, if you go back, she'll do everything in her power to kill you. Nevermind the playing then." The she-wolf laid down at the entrance of the cave, watching as large, fluffy snowflakes drifted to the ground. "I love the snow." she breathed, her amber eyes watching a single flake fall.

[Wildmagic_warrior]

"I know," said Race, watching the snow fall. "That's what I'm afraid of. I have to go back, in order to claim my place in the Lone Star pack, but in order to do that I'll have to kill the only family I've got left. It's been weighing on my mind for a while now."

Beka sat atop the Tallrock, which was actually a stump of petrified wood, and watched the large snowflakes drift down. In a moment of whimsy, she opened her mouth and held up her muzzle, letting them fall on her tongue and laughing as they did so.

[Nyxeva]

Without thinking, Aries nuzzled him, whining softly. "I'm sorry you've been put in this situation. It makes no sense to me. Why punish the pups for what their parents did?" She padded away from him, wincing as the wound on her chest ripped open again. It began to bleed and because of how small the cave was, the scent filled it, betraying her efforts to hide it.

[Wildmagic_warrior]

Race's nostrils flared at the scent of blood, and his stomach growled angrily, reminding him of how hungry he was. Fresh blood... the smell was enticing, no matter what creature it came from. "Are you alright?" he asked, covering up his nose with one paw. "I mean, sorry about hurting you like that." The scent was overpowering, and Race whined as he pressed down on his muzzle with both paws and squeezed his eyes shut tight.

[Nyxeva]

"Yea, I'm fine. I'm gonna go get something to eat. I caught the scent of a rabbit den on our way up. Want me to raid it?" she asked, turning to face him as she licked the blood off of her chest. "And don't worry about it. I attacked you." she said, shrugging. She winces as the claw mark started bleeding again. "I'll just let it bleed itself out." she growled slightly.
