Zeek

The maned wolf prowled about the grasses like a big feline stalking it's prey. He was keeping a sharp lookout for anyone he may know. Oh, it was all in fun. Yeah, maybe to the curious stranger staring at him as they passed, but to Zeek, it was all business today. He had to find his 'mate' and claim back what he thought was really his. Well, whatever that thing is, he was sure to get it in the end.
By now the brute was making his second round of the tall grasses, stepping in the same laid out path from before. They had to be here.

Retchie and Kocheck

Retchie was sleeping peacefully in a clearing her nose tucked under her tail.

her brother meanwhile was sitting close by to her protectivly

Zeek

The second time around proved to be quite worth it as the wind shifted, allowing a gust to blow right by him, and with that gust, a whole different scent. Well two of them, and they were both as familiar as Zeek was to his laid out path. His mate, and her crazy no-good brother trying to keep them apart. Well it wouldn't work this time, he would make sure of it. He'de get her brother and make sure he didn't bother them again, whether Retchie liked it or not. Oh, Zeek couldn't help but grin at his evil little plans. That same grin was still formed across his maw as he turned direction, headed toward the wind and keeping his body low. He was coming upon the pair soon enough, and growled a not so friendly greeting to Kocheck. "So this is where you've been!" he snarled out, as though oblivious to the fact that Retchie was asleep. Well he just didn't care really. He just needed to settle this thing once and for all.

Kocheck

Kocheck saw him and his fangs bared.Get lost you filthy mongrel!hE snarled without caring he lunged at Zeek to try and fend him off.

REtchie awoke and saw what was going on and ran for it.

Zeek

Zeek was actually prepared for such a lunge, though he probably hadn't looked like it in the beginning. With a snarl, he hopped backwards in time to only feel his fore legs being scraped as he pushed himself back. Without warning, he suddenly shot his fangs out for the other brute's face, uncaring of whether he hit or not. He'de make sure this brute never messed with him again. That's what he had been telling himself for a long time, and now he could really have a go at reinforcing it.

Kocheck

He snarled angerly as he snapped at him and then felt fangs on his muzzle and he shook his head.

Zeek

Zeek could feel it in his bones, this was going to be a good fight. He had to reassure himself every once in a while that he could defeat the enemy, and it usually worked out in the end. He was ready for this fight.
As the brute shook his head, Zeek took the chance to tackle him, trying to throw him off balance and latch onto the other's shoulder as well. Risky, but it could be a worthy move.

Kocheck

He snarled vicously as he was tackled and the others fangs peierced his shoulder. He tried to bite the others face or neck.

Zeek

Zeek growled and snarled through gritted teeth as he nearly collided with the ground, though held himself up by his grip on the other's shoulder. Thrashing his head about viciously made it more difficult to reach his face and neck exactly, but he was well aware that the fangs of his opponent were drawing nearer to his flesh. With one more chance to go, he tried to flip the other to the ground as best as he could and then go for a neck hold, no matter if his previous attack worked or not.

Kocheck

The Others males teeth got his neck and he realized now what was about to happen and he let out a vicious snarl!

REtchie looked back and then ran on trying to get as far away as possible.

Zeek

Zeek paid no attention to the snarl and instead only had one thing left on his mind. Death. He was going to end this. Going in for the kill, he attempted to dig his teeth into the other's neck and sever a vein or just plain suffocate the brute. Kill. And with that, he managed a grin.

Kocheck

He strugged for a good ten minutes before his life vein was severed and he lay lifeless.

REtchie couldn't run any further but she was out of sight of them.She collapsed from exaustion.

Zeek

With his maw all bloodied and the taste of satisfaction upon his tongue, he clutched the neck of the now lifeless form for a moment more before finally dropping it for good. Licking away a bit of the crimson from his lips, he turned and looked in the general direction of the female- his mate. Growling but with a dangerous grin, he started off in that direction, following her scent. He knew she couldn't be far, and when he finally did find her, she was on the ground, obviously exhausted from her getaway attempt. "There is no annoying brother to hang around any longer," he grinned at himself, and then flicked his tail. He waited to see her reaction, the fresh blood still managing to drip from his maw.

Retchie

Retchie rested panting and then she saw him. She then heard his words and she got up again and ran for it again.Her tail flying out behind her.Her ears flat back.

Zeek

Zeek watched as she stood just to run for it. Not a wise choice. Snarling deeply, he shoved off the ground with his hinds and was instantly catching up with her, then when he was about a couple or so feet behind her he leapt, aiming to knock her to the ground. Mate or not, she'de learn the dos and don'ts around him.

Retchie

she yelped as she felt his body and she fell. She whined as she was on her back. She pawed at him whimpering her tail tucked and ears back in submission.

Zeek

Zeek grinned as he successfully tackled her to the ground, and he stood over her easily. That grin was soon replaced with a look of pure anger as he snapped at her, regardless of her submission. She would learn. "If there's one thing you'll know not to do, it's to run from me." he snarled lightly, tail waving behind him.

Retchie

She whimpered as he bit her.I'm sorryShe cried out.

Zeek

Zeek snorted and continued to stand over her, tail stiff and body spiked with his fur standing on end. Nodding slowly with a grin, he hopped over and reached down to pick her up by her scruff, and then released. "C'mon, we're going to the lake." he stated, waiting for her to move. He would be right behind her to make sure she didn't run off.

REtchie

She whimpered and just nodded and headed that way.Her head and tail low in submission.
