Vicious

Gray brute treaded upon large limbs, he was bearly hurt, a few kicks, and punches only left him with a few bruises. He didn't let pain get to him, though it did hurt. He still wanted to get the humans attention. To get the humasn to learn that he was not a creature that would be going away any time soon.

Pads lifted him up and over a fence. The fence that would lead him to the sheep. And soon he was there, looking for any strays. He would kill them one by one. The last time he tried to kill all at once, there was not many to choose from.

Quietly he snuck trying to find individuals that he could kill.

Artemis

Barly moon dusted vixen slunk towards the pasture, nares twitching at the scent of the sheep and the brute. Her plume flicked as her chocolate spheres eyes him. Her scent would have found him by now, and with no more need to hide, her own bodice found it's way over the fence with great ease. And there she stood, her form tall and lithe. She was strong, but she retained the female petite size. Harks stood erect as they twisted about, stilts carrying her a bit closer to the male. With a part of her jaw, her sweet tones escaped their confinment. "You should have come a moon later. The young would have been born. A far more deadly blow to the humans..." Her tones were just audible enough to be heard by the brute, and although she could ahve spoken it in a harsh tone, she chose one of a more light nature. Her suggestion seemed spoken to the air, ratehr then one creature, and her focus, although pointed in his direction, coukd be proven to include far more then himself.

Vicious

The feeling in his head began to tremble as his single pupil turned to her. Inside he shook with both his temper, his lust for blood, and his confusion on why this fea had come to tell him this. Over a second of her sentence's end, his consentrated look turned into a wild sadistic smirk. Then grew lazy as his body lollied to the side and turned his full frame head to head with her. " Hello missy," He chuckled, then let his eye roll about it socket. Looking to see if the sheep were hearing them. Then his face straightened out and he sat. Mind feeling heavy, feeling poisoned. His head lowered and he moaned, "I don't care if there are young, i can always come back. would you like to join my next hunt?" He smiled like a drunk sailor, and waited.

Artemis

The goddess smiled softly at his words, her youth allowing her to look both young and wise at the same time. "How about I join this hunt..." Her tones seemed to crawl from her lips now, a tantalizing tone not found in her last soft, innocent speech. She was an interesting one, able to change her persona from a naive faery, to a seductress of sorts. Now a cunning smile fell on her features, replacing the innocence in exchage for something more appropriate. How strage that she was capable of such a transfromation, and yet so fitting.

Vicious

Tail beat from side to side as she began to use her tantalizing tones. His expression only turned into an amused smirk. Although his response was about to come forth, he heard something and his ears perked. Single eye intent as not a single muscle of his continued to move. Hackles bagan to raise as a low growl set in, but he soon calmed and turned back to the fea.

Continueing as if nothing had even happened. " If you would like to join the hunt, you may. But I warn you, I don't give up until there is no way out." He gave a devious smirk and turned, trotting toward the groups of meal. Keeping down as he approached.

Artemis

Goddess shook her dial as her smirk remained, not really noticing his growls. As he spoke only a small chuckle fell forth. "I may be young, but I am stronger then I appear." However as he lowered to stay hidden fom the sheep, she made he move. Her charming act had been a success, and her ranch lifestyle had been hidden by her recent stay within the wilderness. Silently, as if she were simply getting into place to watch for a weakness, her limbs too a slightly faster pace, and her hinds propelled her towards the brute. Her jaws snapped at the neck and face of the wild wolf, cholcolate globes filled with determination. This was her chance to give her human family reason to rely on her. She had given no reason to distrust her, but until now she also had no reason to rely on her. This was her shot, and with her acting skills, it should go quite smootly. If she had hold of anything, be it much or the best case senario, the throat, her dial shook violently, showing more strength then it appeared she owned.

Vicious

Harks pinned back as he heard her speed faster than what it should have been, when he turned the huntress was leaping at his face. Quickly he moved out of the way. Her teeth skimmed his muzzled as he stood with his back arched and growled. Single eye fixing on her like a jet with its cross hairs. A smirk was set as his limbs became flexable as he got ready to dodge another attack. " Oh deary is a lier now, Good act. Had me fooled until you ruined it. You should have waited until I was distracted attacking one of the sheep." He grinned and lowered his head, making his neck less visible, waiting for her to reveal her own.

Artemis

Artemis let a low growl slip past her kisses as she only grazed his mug. However, she was once more overcome by a light chuckle, devilishly angelic in a sense. "Had you had your wits about you, you'd have had no reason to be so fearful for your lifeline there" Her chocolates gleamed, dial low protecting her neck, but also leaving ehr perfectly level to gaze at the neck he protected. "As I said before my skills far surpass my age..." With this came yet anouther laugh, more flirtacious in a sense. A smile crossed her kissers, all knowing it would appear. Her attitude was a strange one. She was an actress of the wolf world, and a flirt would be her discription had she been human. As one human had said, 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer'. This was her new moto. This is why she discuised herself as a fellow hunter, and this would be the reason why she would be feared among those who came to kill of her masters flocks.

Her features held the witty smile as her pistons took long paces, carrying her around the brute in a very slow pace. Her pools looked the male over, searching for weakness, yet resembling humans as they found mates. It would most likly seem strange, yet she did it anyway. She would not yet attack. She wanted to taunt him more, play with his head some, then destroy his physical being. She sensed his unwillingness to simply leave. No he had said himself he did not give up easily.

Vicious

Oh a witty one she was, persistant as well. He followed her as she circled him, though her little games now had little affect. You lost any kind of respect from this wolf, it was hard to gain it back.

As she circled him he pivoted to keep up. Hairs raised as his single oracle continued to follow her. He seemed to be studying her every move. Then quickly he gave a sharp dash for her jaws open to bite at her lower body. He snapped but at the last minute, just to set her nerves on end, he lept high over her. His plan was to get her to protect low while he jumped over her. Easily landing behind her, he turned with his head low, a little closer now to her he let out lour large snarles. blasting from his own trumpet. He again smirked. " I am always aware of my surroundings. Plus you shouldn't run, it's noisey." He gave another chuckle, waiting to see if she could collect herself. Again he felt the ping to help his daughter. But he ignored it.

Artemis

Her eyes stayed locked on the male, catching the twitch of his muscles before he even began his mad dash towards her. She watched his eyesite which seemed lock on her lower body which she went to protect instantly. However even though she caught the twitch of his hinds before he made the motion to jump over her, she was still caught off guard some. She was not fearful for he hadn't made an attack after her made his way over her rather he spoke which gave her enough time to lift her weight off the hells barrior. Once more she was on her guard, little more tense this time then before. Her brown spheres glared daringly, a low rumble begining in her throat and makings it's way up and out into the air. "Ah so we all have our flaws" Again she began pacing, keeping the same distance now that the brute had set, although still out of immediate range. "I still have my pupish impatience. Now what about you..." A sly grin slithered onto her features, imagining all things that may be weakness. She expected no answer, but rather some saucy comeback fit for a bloodthirsty heathen.

Vicious

He smiled insanely and continued to follow her gaze, pivoting as she circled him. " A flaw, huh?" He cackled then darted for her hind end, taking a snap at it, but only snapping as he passed by to get on the other side of her again. No big chunk, nothing that could hurt. The only thing that would hurt would be the slap his muzzle would put against her butt if she didn't move out of the way. He then turned and smirked, again in a defencive pose, head down, never reavealing his neck. " My flaw is...." He smirked and dashed toward her. " That Cerberus promised I wil be king of the underworld after I die. Which I don't plan to soon." Again he jumped over her, then wheeled around and let his gapping muzzle try to attack her stomach before she turned around.

Artemis

The beauty let her pools work their magic by keeping constant watch. This time she would be more observant, and she would not be caught off guard so easily. His words barly touched the tips of her peaks, for her attention was focused on the first dash he made towards her. Without much of a problem she dodged it, feelign it hadn't been quite intendedto do much damage in the first place. His next attack however onyl added to her grin, for she had suspected it. As he went for her stomach the lady, with her neck tucked, sent her own wide jaws to latch hold of the brutes mug. A light growl set in, playful sounding, though the whole situation was not so.

Vicious

As she attacked his face he let out a loud snarl, turning his mug and rounding her own jaws. Jaws trying to back fire and bite the top of nose. Now that her face was occupied he pushed all 200 lbs forward and against her. Trying to get her up, or to back away. Maybe he could get her down instead, and bite the back of her neck.

Artemis

The huntress caught his turn around attack, and with her smaller size, she enabledherself to leap back and sideways, away from the immediate danger. She would not fall so easily to a male such as this. However... she was smaller, making this a difficult task. "You can't hurt a girl now. Thats not very gentleman like" Her glare was sent to the brute, bodice tense now, hackles riased slightly as a light growl slipped forth. She could not run to get help, that would leave this brute time to kill off the live stock. However... she wasn't exactly winning the fight. Again in an attempt to buy time and give the rest of the ranch time to help, she paced around, this time at a running pace. She would dive in at different point, taking quick snaps at limbs and such, although they were just fake. After about 6 or so fake attempts, she did go for the real ting. She followed the same procedure, but when usualy she would snap and back off, she allowed her form to continue forward, jaws closing shut only when she was pretty sure the back limb was right where she wanted it. If she had hold her jaws snapped together with extreme force, dial shaking viciouly.

Vicious

This time he stood still, ears concentrating on her feet pattern. Finally he heard the off beat. The continuation of her attack, and at that moment, hind claws struck out with lightning speed to hit her throat, or jaw, hoping to knock off her aim. If it didn't ....

If she didn't back up from the kick, she would have grabbed his leg, Sharp fierce teeth turning abruptly on her lower neck and shoulder.

If it did make her back up, he would turn to the dumbfounded animal and attack from abover her head.

Artemis

Tha fairy did not back up, and with a snap of her jaws she had hold of his limb. A low snarl echoed out, until she feld fangs penetrate her shoulder. It came to her as a shock, but with extreme determination her jaws held tight, placing all the preesure in her bite, hopefully enough to break the limb. At the moment the fae had no witty phrase to spit out. No at the moment her ind was concentrationg on one thing, survival.

AIdan

The hybrid had spent a brief time away from the ranch while he took up a battle for his blood-family. His neck was wounded once more and his heart was quite sullied by the death of two siblings. Yet he still had a job to do.

Pushing his tired limbs into fighting mode again, Aidan shot across the pasture, plunging past terrified sheep as he made a direct line for Vicious. Aidan circled sharply around, trying to come behind the wolf while he was busy with Artemis. Then he plunged in, trying to grab a hold of Vicious's flank where the muscles were thick. If he got a hold, Aidan would shake for all he was worth.

Vicious

He felt his grip on the shoulder, then chrunched down harder to get a good hold of the skin. Then with every ounce of power, he pulled down and away, hoping to tear a good sized chunk of skin from her shoulder. Possibly putting the fea into shock. As he felt the feas fangs digging into his leg, teeth passing between inividual bones, He could feel his bones begining to tremble, ready to crack. He didn't move agains her bite, knowing that a wrong move would break his bone. If she didn't let go with his shoulder move, she would eventually brake his leg.

Another surge of pain came as Aidan came from his other side. Teeth digging deep into his flank. Though Aidan's attack came after Vicious tried to tear Artemis' shoulder. He let out a loud whale in suprise and pain, then turned to his other side, teeth trying to grab at the other, His leg shoulder or neck. He felt as if he were about to be torn in two, but he would not allow this. He tried to gain his vision and tried to to bite at the Aidans neck, head, or throat.

Artemis

The huntress snarl;ed low, clentching her teeth to try and relieve her own preesure. She could feel the bones curhsing in her jaws and she would not release until she had succeded. So when she felkt the pressure leave her shoulder a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders. Her orbs lifted to find Aidan now taking attacks, and both his scent and his appearence proved he had already been injured before coming here. Her dial shook viciously, as her fangs urged the bone to snap between their sharp points and allow her time to help Aidan.

Aidan

In his fittest condition, Aidan would have been able to spring away and evade this hits by Vicious; but that wasn't how it was. Lingering a bit too long on the flank hold, Aidan got the punishment of Vicious's teeth across his muzzle, leaving several long furrows that welled with blood. He was happy at least that Artemis was left unharried by the wolf, and to hopefully keep it that way, Aidan drove in for a second assault. He snapped directly at Vicious's muzzle, trying to match him bite for bite, or even grasp his muzzle entirely if possible.

Vicious

Finally then loud snap cracked his leg, throwing him in pain and rage. When Aidan got off him, he completely ignored the wolf. Throwing his bull headed skull against Artemis'. Almost falling backwards as he litterally flipped to do his stunt. about 150 lbs came crashing at her skull. Trying to kill her? No, he was trying to get her off, he knew when to give up. Not lose, but retreat until stronger. He was trying to get free to leave.

Artemis

The fae almost fell over as she was hit with Vicious's head. It wasn't pain but more of a surprise that threw her off balance. She leapt back onto her feet, hackles raised as a low snarl echoed out, her bodice once more tense as she eyes the brute. His limb was broken, so if he wished to continue to fight, she would gladly give him yet another broken leg to contend with.

Vicious

=To Them=

He pushed away from the fea a bit limping slightly then facing her. Dull emotionless eye stared at her, making sure she saw his eye contact. He ignored the other brute he growled to Artemis. A slight smirk on his face, but it was clear he had utter hatred pouring out of every ounce of his body. He tossed his head, hind leg completely limp as he let himself 'baby' it.

A soft cackle began as he slinked away backwards, eye never leaving her own. " How do they say it?" He sneered, his fake friendly face soon deminished revealing his true demonic face. His head was lowered, hiding his throat. " You may have won the battle, but you can never win the war." He turned and limped away quickly. Looking like an old man without his cain, and soon he was out of site.

-= Through Me =-

Damned girl I growled to myself. I could feel my heart beat in my leg. It burned, but I wasn't going to let that show. My limping was bad enough, I felt like a rocking horse... what ever that is. She should be happy, She got me out of there.. My thoughts paused as my own devious smile crept up. My mind could only think of blood now, not human blood, canine blood.... Her blood. A slight evil laughter erupted in my throat as I approached the boundaries. When my leg was healed, this creature would be my simple snack. I shall return, my dear. But as for now, I shall rest. And with that I passed the boundaries, and headed for my son's land.

Artemis

the faery stood, watcing the brute as he ran. However her nares caught an overwhelming amount of blood in and air, and Apollos scent lingered with it. Although she had wanted to stay and help Aidan, his wounds seemed treatable if he got back to Martha. With a look of worry in her eye she mad a mad dash for the barn, hoping to be able to help in time.

Aidan

Aidan's fight was nearly up, this being the second in only a short span of time. However, this was his home, and this was his duty. He had to fight, or live with the shame of cowardice. Plucking up his remaining strength, the hybrid ran after Artemis.
