An Alpha's Howl

Padding on, Amethyst snuffled a sneeze. Glancing at the sky, it seemed the rains were going to be unrelenting that day. But she moved on, hardly noticing the rain. Her inner coat would keep her warm, even if the outer layer got wet and cold due to the wind it self. Flicking that tail, she stood and gave her coat a shake, spraying water droplets every where before moving on. But catching a scent, she knew the she-wolf Jay had followed her. About time, truthfully.

Hearing what the she-wolf called out. "Not yet." She replied, moving on, weaving her way through the thick brush easily. Over fallen trees and rotten logs. Between or around trees, it matter hardly to her..but she cave to a stop, ears forward and her gaze intently in the clearing before her. The herd was huddled under rather a thick leaved tree, a buck of maybe three, four years. But she spotted quite a few does. She scanned the herd picking out one, noting a doe with an awkwardly sprawled out hind leg..That was their target. "Far left, up by the tree." She said lightly.

Fell stayed crouched behind Lea, observing the elk herd. She was going to wait for the first move from the other females. Long time since I've hunted any deer... Let’s see how this turns out... She thought to herself as she prepared herself for the hunt and watched the target. She twitched her ears and tail, waiting patiently for the others to make their move. She noticed how the deer had a lame leg, which reminded Fell of her own. She knew she'd have to keep up by running on her lame leg as well as the others, meaning a good deal of pain afterwards. She thought about this for a while, and then concentrated on hunting the doe again.

Adrian prowled around the forest, soaked from the rain, and in general just ticked off. He didn't have any shelter to go and dry off in, so he would just have to deal with wet fur for a while. There was a different, new scent in the air, but he chose to ignore it. He doubted it would be anything that he would care about, as he was only seeking somewhere to dry off. He stepped lightly on the ground, not moving fast, his head turning after every step, just trying to find something a bit more cozy.

Amethyst saw the signal from their alpha, she followed behind silently but she made sure to stay out of the way of the other deer that were running almost madly in every direction to escape the danger. She ducked as one jumped over her blindly, and had to dodge to the side as one nearly ran into her. You'd think they'd run away from you, not run right at you. But with the danger passed she watched Jay as she sank her fangs into the deers leg.

With a snarl, fangs bared, she lunged for the neck. The doe had a lock of shock on it's face as her pearly white fangs sank into the hide and flesh with ease. Making sure to stay between the front legs, so she wouldn't be kicked or stomped on, she kept her hold..fighting it as the doe struggled to free it's leg and now gasp for the breath which was being constricted.

Fell paced alongside the elk, taking care of the deer's hooves. There wasn't much to do now, but to wait. But if the doe somehow squirmed her way free, Fell would be there to grab a hold of her. She was surprised at how quickly this had all taken, she barely even had to run. Fell snapped at a hoof that barely missed her head, she backed up, she wasn't as quick or young as these other wolves to dodge a sharp blow from a hoof.

Fell leapt towards the throat, she grabbed a hold of it in her jaws. She bit down hard, ending the deer's life within a few minutes. She licked her bloody muzzle, making her even more hungry, but she sat down and waited for the alpha to say when she could eat. She reconized these other wolves as a pack now, and knew that Lea was going to be the leader of it.

She watched as Jay snapped at the doe, but she kept her hold, even when the doe struggled all the more. She gave growls as the doe tried to twist it's neck this way or that trying to get free of her deadly grip. But when the doe fell finally, she kept her hold, a paw rested on the neck to keep it some what in place. Once Fell lunged forward and ended the does life, she stepped back licking her bloodied white muzzle..siting down as she did as well knowing Alpha's always ate first. Well, generally it would be the elders and pups, then the rest of the pack fed.

Fell wagged her tail and stepped foward. She took a bite out of the rump, savoring the chunk of meat as she chewed it. She ate slowly, thoroughly enjoying the taste of deer after days of no food and travel. When she finished she had eaten a good deal of the rump and hip. Fell now lay by the rump, licking her legs, her belly full.

Amethyst watched as Jay ate her fill, but she sat there silently, watching the she-wolf before her. Her mind wandered for now, but she was wondering where, the two other she-wolves had ran off to. The last she had seen of them, was in the cave. They hadn't followed from the looks of things'..perhaps they had decided to leave after all.

Her attention was drawn from her own thoughts' as Jay spoke up, she stood, and moved forward, making quick work of the hide before going after the softer meat around the belly. She as well, went after a few of the organs, which tended to taste best. But it didn't take her long to eat her fill and step back, licking her chops, but glancing at the sky. It was starting to rain even harder. "We best move." She suggested looking to the two.

Adrian's ears perked up at the sound of a sudden, short howl that filled the air around him. He hadn't heard anyone howl in quite sometime, as he was alone, without a pack, and he couldn't be more content with that fact. He didn't want to be around anybody because they always got in his way. The scent of blood and food then filled the air, but it was faint, as if it was further away from where he was. He stopped in his tracks, debating with himself if he should just run towards the sound and smell, as he was sure they came from the same place. He soon broke into a run, not caring what his actions cost him, his curiosity getting the better of him.

Fell nodded, she got up and stretched. She didn't feel like moving but knew she had to, or else she was going to freeze out in the rain. She yawned as she stretched, only stopping when she heard her bones crack. She then stood up, licking the blood off her muzzle. She took a few steps, and then looked at her pack mates. She sniffed the air, Can't smell a thing in this rain...

Korea walks around looking for food in the forest when she spotted a fox. "Hey a fox she," she said with a smiled. The fox looks at Korea and runs in fright. "Huh wait im not going to hurt you," She said. "I better not follow it then it might think im chasing it down for food," She walks in another direction in search of food.

Occ: Doing like wise with Amethyst, see no reason to reply to this thread.

Adrian soon found that his nose had ended up leading him to a dead doe, and three departing wolves. He stopped his running, almost tripping over his own paws, debating on what his next move would be. The rain began to hit harder then ever, and even with his fur it still chilled him to the bone. He hated the idea, but he knew what he was going to have to sadly do; he was going to have to try and join up with them. Being awkward and just in general hating to talk to anybody, he followed along behind them, intending to try and join up with them when they stopped somewhere.

OOC: Ehh... Not much to role play about Fell following them. So I'll skip on replying.

Occ: Going to go a head and lock this, since it's been 24 hours.

So, It begins. Please join this thread.
