Cutter

He trotted to the sheep pasture and searched the sky for Kraai. The bird had said there was an old ewe here that he needed to kill for them and he would for it offered him a source of food as well.

He headed to the south corner silently stalking every now and again seeking Kraai. The ewe was blind this he knew would give him an advantage but he would have to be ultra silent. The ewe's hearing may have gotten better or she was deaf.

Kraai & Others

Kraai glided low and perched himself silently on a fence post at the furthest corner in of the pasture. Nearby, resting wearily in a ditch, was the old ewe. Her fleece was stained dark red and black around her eyes. And where the eyes should be there were only dark, bloody depressions. All about her face there were cuts and gashes where the ravens had attacked, but they simply couldn't kill an adult like her.

"There she is. It's been a chore trying to keep her from joining the rest of the flock, and sooner or later, they will be called in by the humans and she'll be saved by them, and our work will be in vain." Kraai said, looking eagerly from Cutter to the ewe. In the trees around, there were five other ravens, watching and waiting. "Now I'll take to the air and watch for danger." Once more, the raven took to the skies, acting as a sentry for the wolf. Nothing would get near Cutter without Kraai seeing it first.

Pyromania

Pyromania blended in with the offwhite sheep pretty well. He had been moving around his new home and the commotion here had come to hte King Hounds attention. After the last attack by wolves they would be super protective for a long long time. He stopped himself from growling as they kept the ewe from rest of the flock. Except...these weren't even wolves. These were ravens. He growled not able to take it anymore and he lunged out heading for the ewe to get her back into the flock. He could do this with ease , it wasn't really that hard . But he kept an eye out as he began to herd the ewe towards the flock.

Cutter

He snarled as suddenly another form was there but the snarl was barely heard even by himself. No matter. He could still do this. Suddenly the male leaped for the ewe as well as if he was one of the ranch dogs helping to herd her back. He knew that there were some wolves that lived on the ranch and for now he could pose as one. He looked up to Kraai, a signal. He would kill the ewe as soon as he could.

He bit at the sheeps feet a sharp click of teeth. "Come on Tess lets get up now" He nudged her along and looked to Pyromania. "You new here?" Ask questions look as if your one of them. Cutters cold blue eyes stared hard into Pyromanias. The color of his eyes suggested a mix breed dog but he looked pure wolf. Unknown to many Cutter stayed behind the side lines in the background where no one could see him.

Pyromania

Pyro growled and snapped at cutter. He had been trained to attack wolves though he held himself back from attacking Artemis. He could smell her on the humans and around the ranch area but Cutters scent was new. He didn't seem to belong to the ranch. The ewe didn't seem to happy with both of them around, most likely the wolf in him as well as Cutter.

"Back off wolf, before I truely feel compelled to kill you."

It was kind of late for that warning, he already felt comelled to kill Cutter. He was a wolf, thats what Pyro had been trained to kill. It was his specialty.

Cutter

He growled at Pyro "Knock it off I'm working here" He moved stealthily and snapped at the ewe once more his eyes on Pyromania. The dog was huge compared to him and he knew that he would need more to bring down the dog and the ewe. He looked to Kraai for help on this another message. Get more wolves.

Artemis

The goddess slipped just outside of the shadows, her shoulder still lightly matted with dried blood, and her scent holding the blood of both humans and canines. She was once more back at the pasture, but this time she was not the first to arrive. Her focus lay on Cutter, no sound uttered from her vocals. She stood tall and regally, and although her bodice was not tense, her harks were pointed directly to the heavens, alert to anything.

Pyromania

Pyro growled in anger and finally lunged at cutter.

"If you were working yo uwouldn't have the scent of the hunt on you! Now back off before I have to kill you!!"

Cutter >[? He snarled at Pyromania and leaped away from him. "No I wouldnt have the scent of human on me for I havent been here in weeks!" That at least was truth. He snarled and went around Pyro his hackles raised and he let out a sharp yip as he danced around the massive male. As he moved he scented another with them but he ignored the other canid and continued his incessant moving. It was more of a circle around the huge dog but always his eyes were cautious and alight with fire. HE was ready for this. HE needed this.

Depression

The male heard his brothers call and silently he followed the trail of Cutter. As he came to the sheep pasture he shook his head and moved forth his massive black chassis moving swiftly over the land. His long legs carried him far and right up to his dark grey brother. No word escaped him as he watched the on goings but he kept close to his large brother as a sort of protection against Pyromania. Two wolves were better then one, and not to far away was the rest of the pack.

Pyromania

Now he knew, Cutter was not of the ranch. He instantly lunged out at the two wolves. He could take em both, it was what he was bred for right? They were about to learn not to mess around with the ranch animals or get near this place again. His jaws snapped hoping to close on either one of the wolves, it didn't matter where as long as he could inflict pain.

Artemis

The goddess continued her solid stance, harks twisteing at the sound of Depressions arrival. With one swift muscle motion, she was off, her limbs carrying her right for the hinds of Depression. Though her shoulder held the brown crust of dried blood, she felt barely any pain now that it was healing. As she neared, she hoped Pyro's attack would distract the brute enough for her to get a good grasp on the back limb. Her jaws snapped shut with all the jaw strength a wolf could muster, hoping to clamp down on the lower bone, which was much easier to break.

Cutter

Maniacal laughter escaped his jaws as he leaped away from Pyro once more continuing his small dance. "And how do you know, Lupine, that I do not come here in peace? I have yet to attack your precious sheep and was only helping you herd her. Kraii there he can vouch for that. I am innocent on this one." Once more he leaped away from Pyro always remaining out of the dogs range but his acts borderd suicidal. He was certainly living up to his name. The grey male grinned wickedly and shouted "Depression Avichi!"He had switched to their native tongue hoping that his brother still knew the ways of the language. Cutter continued his dark dance around Pyro never attacking but always on the defensive. He saw Artemis out of the corner of his eye and he barked a warning to his unsuspecting brother who had broke away from him when Pyro leaped. He was unsure if her mark would him still even though he had moved but it was possible.

Aaka

Aaka heard the commotion from her corner of the pasture. Silently she slunk towards where they were all 'fighting' for it was not even a fight yet. She remained in the brush always her eyes on the sheep. Depression had Atremis's attention and Cutter had Pyros focus on him with his constant moving. She slunk forward a bit more her white hide blending with the tall grass. No sound was made as she bunched her legs beneath her and leaped hard aiming for the unsuspecting sheeps throat.

Kraai & Others

Kraai watched the specticle as some of his brethren closed ranks with him on the fencing, creating a row of glistening black bodies with peircing coal eyes. Finally the raven lifted off and began to circle over the canines. He had spotted Aaka, and by her actions, knew that she was a hunting wolf. He could have his sheep yet.

Taking Cutter's cue, the raven dove closer to the canines, "Stupid pets! You don't even know your own kind! To busy fighting amongst yourselves!"

The ewe was beyond panicked now. Unable to see, she was overcome with fear as she heard and felt the canine bodies scuffling around her. Normally she'd flock with the other sheep, but of course she couldn't if she couldn't see them. So she bolted to the side, almost running into Artemis as she did so. Tripping and stumbling over the ground, the ewe didn't get far before Aaka's teeth dug into her throat. Crying out, the ewe kicked and fell to her side, struggling and bleating madly.

Aaka

Aaka felt her aim hit and she snarled in pure pleasure. She grasped the sheep tight then pulled away still holding on, literally ripping the sheeps throat out. The her white coat was stained with blood, her ivories pink. She grinned in pleasure momentarily thanking her enimies for keeping Pyro and Artemis distracted. A sharp chuckle arose from her and she tore at the sheeps leg trying to get it off so that she could run far and fast and make an escape before the wolf hounds caught her. The dogs were huge and she knew she couldnt take on one of them.

Depression

Depression had scattered, breaking away from Cutter when Artemis had leaped, setting her attack off course. She hit him in this ribs and the large male roared in anger turning his massive body and making an attempt to slice his sharp canines into the female. Thats when he saw Aaka. HE froze and suddenly pulled away from Artemis, his flesh ripping and tearing and he roared once more aiming for the white alphess. How dare she take their kill? A dark snarl arose from the male as he felt himself impact against the fae and a smirk played across his maw. The alphess was wounded and now she would pay.

Aaka

Aaka had had her teeth buried deep into the leg trying to break it off when suddenly a large force sent her hurtling. But it was all she needed for the leg came off with her. With a demonic grin she turned and raced away leaping high over the fence and landing with her feet running. The white alphess was off and away with the sheep's leg and she knew that Depression would stay for he could not leave his brother to deal with the Hounds alone. Brotherly comradiship. Aaka had never understood it but it was something all men had.

Kraai & Clan

Kraai landed quickly by the kill, but his sharp eyes trained on the dogs. He was about to set into the meal as the rest of his clan, or murder as the humans called them, moved in the feast. Yet the raven knew he must keep to his end of the bargain, even if Cutter hadn't actually killed the sheep. "You pets going to keep fighting like that? Honestly, I thought your kind was suppost to be smart" His eyes glittered deviously as he eyed the true pets. "Now why don't you all leave, so as my clan and I can eat our dinner in peace?" Well, he wasn't actually expecting the pets to listen, but he was hoping to annoy and distract them from Cutter and Depression.

The other ravens began to pick at the meat, but none of them let their guard down.

Du Hast

Another king hound arrive on the scene and as the ravens went in to feast she snarled and raced towardsthem snarling and snapping at the small black tufts of feathers. She then leaped for Cutter who was so obviously busy with Pyro. She moved with grace and ease, her large body well adapted to moving swiftly and slicing deadly fangs into the enemy.

Kraai & Clan

Kraai and the others were quickly airborne, calling insults to Du Hast as they flapped just out of her range. "Watch out, friend! They are on to us now!" He cried, realizing that Cutter's efforts to act as a pet weren't going to work. "Head back, Clan. This is beyond time for Mob." He said, speaking with his clan. They retreated to the fence posts now, once again sitting in a line as they watched the fight.

Kraai went for Du Hast now, avoiding her head and going instead for her tail. Swooping in low, he tried to grab a tuft of fur and yank it out.

Cutter

He snarled as he realized that Kraai was right. HE whirled and gave a bark to his brother and raced away leaping over the fence and away from every one of them. He would be back. Oh yes he would be back.
