Skykin

The peite female gray wolf mad her way gracfully around the eskers. She hadnt eaten in about 2 days now and she really was to weak to hunt. But she forced herself to stalk a small rabbit. Skykin picked up her pace but within secconds of moving faster the rabbit was gone ina flash. With a sigh the feamale slowed once again and ploped her rump on the ground. She needed to eat even scraps would help her get more engry to hunt larger prey but at this momment she was to tired and weak to do even that.

Tyran

What used to be mounds of snow only shown with small amounts here and there. Everywhere you walk you paw usually got in a splash, unless you walked in certain spots. Tyran and Zona made sure to walk in these certain spots as they continued through the Eskers. Just as they passed a bush a rabbit shot out. Zona quickly caught it with a well experienced lunge. It wasn't till than that they caught scent of another wolf nearby. Ears pricked they headed to the smell curiously Zona carrying the rabbit as he followed behind Tyran. Blue orbs stared at the female as Tyran's grayish white figure came closer along with his black pelted brother. Zona stared at the female with a dark look in his eyes.

"Greetings fea. I'm Zona this is my brother...Tyran,"he said showing slight disgust as he spoke of his brother. However Tyran didn't mind much, yet.

Skykin

The tired female let out a long tired sigh. A rumped arose from her stomach as it cried out for food. The snow was begining to melt leaving wet pud filled puddles in the once clear trails. Leaving most with a hard coat or brown on their coats. But Skykin still had her pelt white as the melting snow. Skykin barly heard the males come up but when the first spoke she almost jump out of her skin and turned quickly to face the two. Her gray eyes watched scanning over each one before looking back to the one that spoke. She picked up the discust in his voice which was almost would be amuseing if she was in any happy mood. Her eyes moved to the rabbit which should of been hers! "Hello" she said her voice hard. "im skykin"

Zona

Zona just watched her for now. He wondered if she belonged to a pack, or if she was a loner like them. Curosity shown on his face as he glanced to his brother.

Tyran seeing how thin she was came forward with the rabbit. He offered it to her by sitting it infront of her before backing off respectfully. He was too much of a gentleman not to give the rabbit to her.

Zona glared at him. That was their food! Why did he have to go and do that? Tyran only glared back. They both turned back to watch Skykin. What would she do about the rabbit?

"Its nice to meet you Skykin. Do you belong to a pack,"Tyran asked the female speaking up for the first time.

SkyKin

Skykin eyed the rabbit then her gray eyes moved from the rabbit to the one names tyran. They were quite bigger then her and she could already see who was the dominate one of the two. Skykin was surprised at the grays reaction. She just stared from him to the rabbit and back up to him before takeing a small bite of the rabbit. A loner she was and it wasnt the firs time that she had her encounters with other males. But this was the first time they allowed her to eat. After chewing she replied. "No I walk alone" she spoke. "And you?" she asked.

Zona

Zona growled as his brother came to stand back by him. Anger clear on his face like it was written there. He raised his head and tail showing authority over his younger brother. He was warning him not to do something like that again without permission. "Loners like you,"came Zona's voice replying to Skykin except his attention stayed to his brother. It wasn't that he didn't like Skykin or thought she should starve, but the fact that his brother gave their food away. Should they starve instead? His brother shouldn't of just given their food away to a complete stranger.

Tyran at first took the growling. However he soon growled back raising himself into alpha postition with a challenging glare. He was sick and tired of being pushed around like he couldn't think on his own. He was completely done with that. It was clear that if something didn't stop them, it might turn into a full fledged bloody fight.

Skykin

Skykin had half of her attention on the food at her feet and the other half on both males. After eating her fill she licked her white padded paws. Her head shot up at the growl, the fea looked from one to the other and then back again. "I see" she nodded. Tyran's reaction was deffinitly a surprise he really wasnt the alpha and that was clear. Skykin didnt want a fight but she wasnt going to step in just yet.

Zona

Zona leapt at his brother his growl turning to a snarl of rage. Catching his brother in the shoulder he bit down hard. Blood could be smelled in the air. However a whine was let loose when Tyran grabbed his ear, and jerked pretty hard nearly tearing some of the bits off.

Tyran pulled free from his brother's attack only to feel his tail being grabbed. Grunting he snapped around catching his brother snout in his mouth. Soon the two broke apart standing in alpha position still. They growled about to go at it again, but they were going to acess each other first. They glared down at each other almost forgetting that Skykin was there....

Skykin

Skykin didnt really know who would start it but it was clear within secconds. She wanted to stop them but she was almost half their size and she couldnt pull them off eachother. It was also pretty clear who was the stronger one. She found herself watching the dealth match between the two brothers till they broke apart then she steped in with her own growls at Zona. Skykin walked between them her body closer to Tyran. "Knock it off" she hissed at Zona. Her white hair stood on end her tail straight out. She oed her life to tyran she was dieing of starvation if it wasnt for that rabbit she wouldnt be even moving at this momment.

Zona

Zona continued growling. When Skykin came inbetween the two his gaze came to rest on her. Her words ticked him off, but he did best not to show it. "You don't understand! He must know who his alpha is, and its none of your buisness. I am all he has left as family, and he must understand that if we stay togather he is to submit. This goes beyond the fact that he gave you the rabbit. He must ask the alpha's permission first, and i would of allowed him. He must know not to go against the alpha,"Zona said to Skykin still standing proudly.

Tyran huffed softly. His tail and head lowered below Zona's. "Skykin, it's okay,"he said still standing. He was glad the fea was taking up for him. Maybe she would join them as they lived in the valley. After all it would be good to have someone other than his brother to talk to. However he looked to his brother before he asked. Seeing his brother's nod he turned to Skykin. "If you like you can travel with us,"he offered the lone fea. He waited for her answer patiently.

Skykin

Skykin was paying to attention to Zona's words it was plan to see with her bored expression on her face. Her ears twichted to the sounds around her but not ever focusing on Zona. But she did growl a couple times just annoyed by him. Her ears twiched back to Tyran when he spoke. She had to smile. "I will but........." she turned to face Zona completly she was still standing tall. "But im a lone wolf i call to nobody" she said in a hard voice. Never would she call or fall under the comand to someone. She called to herself and that was all.

Zona

Zona simply glared at her, but didn't object. He stalked away to be by himself for awhile. Soon he came to a river where he sat down.

Tyran sighed softly. "You have to excuse my brother. He had a..rough..life. He watched our parents die when i was only a year old. It was quite devastating to him. Than his mate was shot by a hunter. He himself almost died a couple of times. So yeah he can be quite mean sometimes,"he said softly to Skykin.

Skykin

Skykin wasnt going to bow down to Zona and she was going to make that clear to him. Her gray eyes stayed locked hard on him till he was no longer in her sight. Skykin turned around to face Tyran as he spoke. She listened and some what felt bad for Zona, but she forced herself not to pity him. "so what he takes it out you" she almost growled out. He had no right in her eyes but that was just Skykin.

Tyran

Tyran was silent at her words before he replied. "No not really. He does what he does because he cares. He's older and knows more than me. That's why he's my alpha. Feel free to contradict me, but he really does care. He took over raising me, and taught me everything i know. In truth he was the father that i didn't have all my life. However when everything was taken away from him he turned a bit mean. He blames himself, and he tries to fight his love away from everyone. He tries not to care, so that when things are taken from him it dosen't hurt him. What he needs is something that he fights, which is why i'm trying to get him to see the righter way,"he said to her trying to explain the best way that he could. Maybe if he finds another mate he'll open up he thought to himself wondering if he could find his brother a fea to love. It wouldn't be easy, and it'll have to be someone that wouldn't just roll over and submit to him.

Skykin

Skykin sat down as he talked and listened. It really all did make sense. She stayed still and silent. She nodded as he finished and sighed. "I understand" she said softly standing up again and pressing her nose to his cheek. She looked over the way Zona walked and then turned back to Tyran and rubbed her cheek against him. "I see now, never really cared for anybody i was always in fear of something like that to happen" she sighed. She never let herself get close to anybody. And for exacly that reason. Skykin sighed again and stayed close to Tyran.

Tyran

Tyran nodded his head. All of sudden a idea came to him. Of course why didn't he already think of this he thought. Skyking would be perfect! She already proved that she wasn't going to roll over for Zona. "Sky do you have a mate,"he asked her hoping she didn't. Just maybe she would even come to really love Zona. He hoped she would agree to his idea.

Zona now stood up. He waded through the river to the other side. Once there he layed under a tree. His black coat standing out among the gray and brown ground.

Skykin

Skykin really did like Tyran but she wasnt going to show it. She had already glued her hard shell on and wasnt about to take it off. She jumped back at his question and stared slightly. "pfffffffff me have a mate you got to be kidding me" she chuckled shaking her head then her whole body. "why?" she asked in a questioning voice. Sky made her way to the water moving slowly enough that Tyran could catch up. She got to the waters edge and lowered her muzzle.

Zona

Zona looked up when he saw Sky and Ty drinking from the river, but other than that didn't do anything. His gaze was hard when he turned it away as if showing he didn't care.

Tyran listened to her. "Would you consider my..brother as a possibility,"he asked. He followed her wondering what she would say. He hoped she wouldn't be mad...After all it was only a option. The male waited for a answer silently.

Skykin

Skykin's head shot up so fast that water droplets scattered. His words were a shock to her, she didnt like Zona but Tyran. She looked from Ty to Zona then back at ty. The fea really was speachless. Skykin found herself staring blankly at Tyran. Didnt he see that she wanted him not his cruel brother.

Tyran

Tyran really didn't notice. He was too young to really notice that kind of thing. He ignored the water droplets as they scattered. "Sky please, he really needs to open up. Can you at least try to win his heart,"he asked her with a pleading look. Little did he know that he would soon fall in love with Sky just like Zona would as well. Who would win the fea though?

Zona was sill laying under the tree staring out at the eskers. He ignored the two other lupines by the river.

Skykin

Skykin glared at Tyran. She just stared at him for a very long mintue before turning to look at Zona. She shook her head and with a growl she moved over to him. Her graceful movments could catch any you male's eye. "hi" she said softly. "your brother told be about your parents and you mate im sorry to hear that" she said her eyes drifting back to tyran with a hard look then back at Zona waiting for his answer.

Zona

Zona looked up as he heard someone approaching. His eyes watched the fea's movement, but than looked away. "I don't need your pitty,"was his reply to what she said. He hated when others pitied him.

Tyran looked away from the glare. He was only trying to help his brother. Although his gaze followed her movement, but he had to look away. He lowered his muzzle to drink from the water.

Skykin

Skykin sat on her white rump and watched him. She stood up again and moved so that she sat infront of him. "It sure seems like it, you think they would want you to be miserable" she questioned him.

Zona

Zona glared when she spoke. He snapped out, but made sure it was only in the air. He wouldn't really harm the fea, unless he absoulutly had reason. "You just don't understand,"he said in a emotionless voice. His gaze turned to meet her's directly with challenge. He had no reason to explain himself to Sky...so why did she bother? A sigh escaped him at this thought.

Skykin

Skykin flinched at his snap but stayed in her sitting position. She looked down at him. "Then help me understand" she sighed, in a way she wanted to understand. She met his stare with the same insentity. Skykin watched him her breath steady her tail swaying ever so slightly. "Help me understand" she looked at him.

Zona

Zona finally had to look away. "Why do you care,"he asked with a sigh. Than softly he continued on hoping to make her understand. "To have something you held dear taking away from you, it can really change you." The black brute turned to meet her gaze again. Ears pricked so he could catch her words.

Skykin

Skykin watched him look away from her gaze but she kept her eyes glued on him. "Becuase i do can't you just accept that" she mummbled slightly before listening him to speak. When he finished Sky let out a understanding sigh and nod and moved to lay down her white paws now touching his midnight black ones. "Im sure they would want you to move on and live your life" she watched him. "They love you they would only want the best, and your brother doesnt like seeing you like this" she smiled.

Zona

Zona was silent as he listened to her speak. His body shivered at her touch, but he didn't move. "They might want me to, but can i do it,"was his reply as he stared into her eyes.

Skykin

Skykin kept watching him carfully. She saw him shiver and was ready to move away but she forced herself to stay. She sighed when he spoke. "Have you even tried" she said staring back into his eyes. "the least you could do is try"
