Karitania, Titania, Thesarios, Inkalio and Lysian

K a r i t a n i a
She'll bathe in your shed blood

The drumming of pads on the ground was barely audiable. Heavy breathing was heard as a white blur rushed through one of the very small pockets of trees. Lysian, Scout and spy for the strongest female he knew so far, was rushing to find a way to the lake. A quick and easy way that would take the least amount of time. That's what his alphess had told him to do, and he didn't want to say no, he knew too well what would happen if he did. Slowling down, Lysian had found a reasonably short route, and had the lake in his sights. Giving a short yip, the Arctic wolf stopped and waited for the rest to catch up.

First to emerge from the thicket was Thesarios. The grey wolf was jogging, bored out of his mind and ready for a good meal. The alphess had instructed they eat well now, the next stop for prey would not be for a while, as they first needed to find a place called home. That could mean fighting, and Karitania wasn't going to let her pack get tired from taking down prey and then be beaten in a fight. Prey could wait, they needed a terratory first. This was a rest stop, a chance for the pack to feed up and rest before they were on their way again. Thesarios passed Lysian and headed for the lake.

Next was Titania. Titania was the Beta in command and a force to be reckoned with. She was the Alpha's sister, but by no means as powerful. The Mexican Grey wolf smiled as she approached Lysian. She was the only one who you could say was nice. Unlike her sister.

Karitania, Alphess extrodinaire, followed her sister with Inkalio close behind. The larger Mexican Grey wolf did not smile or even look at Lysian, she simply passed him with her head and tail up. Arrogant maybe, but they were all used to it by now. Karitania had a few bad points, her short temper and agressive streak for instance, but the pack had grown used to it. Inkalio followed his alpha, head down.

Lysian sighed as Karitania passed him without a word. Titania gave an appologetic look to Lysian. She gently nudged him and they followed towards the lake.

Thesarios was already at the lakes edge with a fish in his jaws when the others arrived. He was on the bank, chomping on the pike in between his paws. Inkalio wasn't sure he wanted to head into the cold water, and so he did what any grouchy wolf would do, he tried to steal Thesarios' meal. He stood over his higher comrade and when Thesarios least expected it, Inkalio snatched the fish and ran. With a growl Thesarios went after him and tackled the theif. The fish fell to the ground, the two wolves snarling at each other. Thesarios dived for Inkalio's shoulder, leaving a reasonably deep gash. As he dipped his head to reclaim his fish, Inkalio snapped at his ear. While the two were biting and snapping, Karitania noticed the brawl. Rolling her eyes, she trotted towards the group. Thesarios noticed the alphess coming up behind Inkalio, so he began to back away. Inkalio continued to snarl and snap. A low, rumbling growl started from behind Inkalio. Circling round in front of his Karitania snapped at his muzzle, leaving a warning gash. Dont steal other members food. Flashing her fangs, Karitania picked up the fish and threw it back to Thesarios. Turning away, she moved towards the lake, where Titania and Lysian were busy getting their meals. The alphess plunged into the icy water. She was soon followed by Thesarios and Inkalio. The five wolves were fishing for some time but soon they came out of the lake and rested on the bank.

Diseased*Psychopath*Insanity*Cutter*Depression*Wicked*Suicide

The white wolf moved quickly, as if he was trying to run from another. In a way he was. He was running from his mind. On and on and on he raced ahead of his pack. He wasnt the spy, no definetly not. But he was however the spies brother. Psychopath. He sureged ahead and halted at the lake his eyes landing on the others that were already at their spot. He turned and was about to head back when another pulled up alongside him. With a soft whimper he scuttled away from the black mass before him, coming dangerously close to Inkalio.

Depression. He was the male spy, mate of Psychopath and so in a way brothers with Insanity. He glared hard at the white and brown wolf before he turned his gaze to the others his eyes narrow. Diseased was not going to like this. A soft growl came from deep within his throat as he lowered his head and stalked forth, heading for Titania to explain to her that this was there fishing spot. They had layed a sort of claim over it.

Psychopath was the next to come. Seeing her mate go towards another fae had her hackles raising. "Get over here Depression." She said, her tone dangerously soft. Insanity whimpered softly not noticing how close he was to another from this pack. When his sister was angry.....Well that was a big story that he didnt wish to go into. Psychopath came alongside her black mate staring hard at the other female daring her to come closer.

"Now now Psychopath. That is no way to treat our guests." The voice was deep and low as the figure appeared from the trees. He was massive, an impressive being that led this pack. His eyes were sharp green and they stared hard at the other pack. His words however were not that of welcome. They were menacing and when said in that tone it suggested things that could not mean good for the other pack. That is, until his eyes landed upon Karitania. It felt as if all the breath had been stolen from his black and white form but his eyes revealed nothing as they gave her the once over. Strong. Impressive. Magnificent. She was so beautiful. "Maybe for once Psychopath, you can try and get along with others and ask questions first and kill later." His eyes turned to his black sister with red eyes. Then they turned to Depression. Why he had allowed them to become mates he did not know. He had thought it was the good for his anger prone sister to be with the cool and calm Depression but being with the large black male was not doing anything to improve Psychopaths moods. If anything she grew angrier without reason. Shaking his head he turned back to Karitania and said in that same low tone of his "I am Diseased. Alpha of the Death Pack."

Cutter, brother to Depression, materialzied from no where, his gaze not apologetic for lagging behind. He had lagged behind seeing to his mate Suicide. She was not in the shape she should be, being pregnant and all. He had yet to tell the alpha of this however and he knew that he had to speak sometime soon for he did not know when Suicide would be birthing. He turned his head back to search for his white and grey mate. Soon she came and stood next to him, the two betas side by side glaring into the orbs of Lysian. Why they had both chosen him it was unknown. Luck of the draw I guess.

Karitania, Titania, Thesarios, Inkalio and Lysian

A strong smell had hit Titania of an approaching pack. The beta moved closer to her sister and explained this. Karitania shrugged it off, after all they too could come to fish here. As long as they didn't bother us, We wont bother them. With a sigh, the beta shuffled back, giving the alphess her personal space, and she too began to fish again.

Titania had been right to be worried.

Inkalio was on the bank, he had eaten his fill, and was cleaning off his paws when a white mass scuttled past him. Thinking it was Titania, for the beta female was white, he snapped Watch where your going. However when he looked up, he realised his mistake. Leaping to his feet he howled to his pack and backed away a few steps from Insanity.

Thesarios growled lightly as he came up alongside Lysian. These other wolves were big. Thesarios was the second tallest in this pack, After the alphess. The grey wolf saw two of the other pack headed for Titania. A quick yip sorted that problem.

The Beta's head turned to see the duo coming for her. Swallowing hard, the white wolfess turned to face them both. She was reasonably smaller than her sister, but it wasn't her size that got her the position of Beta. Infact no-one really knew why, but it had stuck. Titania drew herself up as tall as she could and locked eyes with the male. Yes? What do you want?

Lysian darted closer to Titania when the other pack came over. She was the only one he felt safe with. He soon regretted that desition when Cutter and Suicide appeared and came over and just stared at him. Feeling very unnerved, he shuffled up closer to Titania.

Oh get over it Lysian. Stop acting like a wimp. Snapped the cold, harsh voice of the Alphess. She wasn't the biggest of wolves, but her temper and wit was enough to make up for it. The chocolate eyes locked onto Diseased, and although as she got closer to him he towered over her, this did not phase the wolfess. No flicker of fear was in her eyes. She lifted her tail to show her rank. Her fluffy brown coat made her seem alot bigger than she actually was, especially when she puffed it all out. As she got closer, and sized up Diseased, the more she thought how powerful, strong and good-looking he was. This was not reflected in her glare, but she was still thinking it as she spoke. Her voice was cool, like running water, but it had a certain amount of ice about it. Cold and harsh. It's a pleasure to meet you Diseased. I am Karitania, Alphess of the Ribellarsi pack. Now tell me, Why are you pack surrounding mine as if we have commited some sort of crime? There was a flicker of teasing in Karitania's eyes, but it was only for a brief second. The Alphess was not particularly happy about the fact her sister and Lysian were surrounded by four wolves.

Lysian was still cowering behind Titania, but it seemed his alphess had a better place to be and so he scampered from behind the Beta and came to a halt next to Karitania. Karitania glared daggers down at Lysian. Did he not know standing next to your alpha was disrespectful? Flashing her fangs, Karitania snapped at his shoulder. Nothing too serious, just a light gash to warn him. Lysian got the message and shrank back behind her. If there was one thing Lysian didn't like about Karitania, it was her love of punishment. She also was big supporter of pack ranking, and running a pack by yourself as a female, you needed to keep everything under control. If that ment punishing someone's every move, then so be it.

Daybreak

Daybreak spotted the wolfs and took off full gallop from the area

Diseased

As the horse took off his eyebrows raised but he turned back to the alphess. "Insanity get away from there. Psychopath, lay down she didnt do anything. Depression, do something about your mate." With a whimper Insanity lay where he was, uncertain of where to move to. Psychopath growled moodily and turned trotting away and laying beneath a tree with her mate beside her. Cutter and Suicide continued to stare, their looks unerving. Not a whole lot Diseased could say about that. He turned back to the alphess a smirk on his maw. "Happy now?" His voice was mocking and the under currents of teasing just beneath. His tail was held above his back in the dominant stance of an alpha as his green eyes penatrated into Karitani's an unerving quality to them. Everything about him was unerving. He had that look and that prescence that was just enough to put a wolf on guard.

Karitania

The wolfess did not even notice the equine make a quick getaway.

As Diseased's pack finally backed down, a small flicker of a smirk appeared on the Alphess' maw. He had good control over this pack, she could see that, but you had to be strong to lead a pack single-handed...or pawed in this case. Very. Was the sarcastic reply. Diseased looked right into the yes of Karitania, something few had done. She did not break the contact, but continued to look into his eyes, the glare becoming softer but not too soft. Cocking her head, Karitania grinned. So what brings you and your pack here?

Karitania may not have had an awesome presence, but she was certainly one to be ruthless and harsh. However, if you managed to get behind that rough exterior, there was a heart and actually the Alphess could be quite nice. Trust and Loyalty usually brought out the nicer side of this Queen.

The pack settled down, sitting in a group whilst they waited for Karitania to finish with Diseased, or for something interesting to happen.

Diseased*Wicked*Faint*Faded

He was about to speak when two black and white pups came charging out of the brush growling and snapping at one another. After them came trotting Wicked, the mother of the two looking tired. Blood stained her chest, Sequioas blood from another place. "Faint Faded, knock it-" Suddenly there was a yelp as Faded rolled straight into the water. The replica's of their mother stared at one another before yipping and charging at one another snapping in 'fury'. They were trying to look as vicious as possible. "Die Lurker!" Came the voice of Faint. They continued their play and bumped into Lysian causing an upset. "You lose!" Came a voice. "Nu uh!" "Ya huh!" An arguement ensued and the mother wolf growled and trotted towards the two and closer to Lysian. "Sorry." She murmered as she stood close watching her two pups closely hoping to prevent further harm.

Diseased chuckled softly at the two pups antics. "We were hoping to see if our land was free but since it is occupied we were planning a small fight. But now that I have seen the lovely alphess of this pack I do not think I could harm them." His smirk was wide as he watched her. He was daring and he knew it. Suddenly a muffled yelp came from the trees and he turned to see the source when Suicide stood up "I....I have to go." She murmered softly. With that she took off, her mate close behind her. Diseased narrowed his eyes as he watched them. He had a feeling he knew what had caused Suicides little yelp but he held it back and turned to Karitania just as three more pups arrive. Twisted led the group and they circled their mother, Psychopath. "Mama! Mama look!" Their mother just growled moodily and watched her children with their antics before snapping "Go play with those two." Psychopath was not the best of mothers but she did care for her pups. She just showed it in a different way.

Karitania and Lysian

The alphess was rather taken aback as two balls of fluff appeared from the brush, closely followed by their mother. Karitania grinned at the pups, she had always wanted children of her own, but had never had the oppertunity to have any. She had wanted a mate for a while aswell.

Lysian was watching the pups frolic when he was amubushed by them. He was knocked back a few steps by them. He didn't really know how to react, but in the end he cracked a small smile. Their mother came over and appologised and Lysian just smiled and shook his head. Its alright.

Karitania was pleased with Lysian's reaction, Glad he had not shown her up. Turning back to Diseased she listened to him. Wait, they were going to attack her and her pack. Karitania was worried by that, but didn't show it. Stay strong. Then Diseased said something that took the Alphess off guard. A smile appeared on her face, a genuine one. She almost blushed, almost. She was about to say something when Suicide yelped. Karitania looked at both her and her mate as they disappeared into the tree's. The vixen was concerned, but figured it was none of her business to ask why, so kept quiet. Diseased turned back to looked at her, and when he did and their eyes met her heart flipped inside her. She tried not to show it, but there was a flicker of admiration in her eyes. It quickly faded as she recovered from it. It wasn't showing, but Karitania knew she was falling for him. Her attention was then caught by some more pups appearing. This was one big pack. Ah, So these were Psychopath's pups. Karitania grinned and shook her head gently. Well I'm glad you changed your mind, I wouldn't want to beat someone as good-looking as yourself. She chuckled quietly, her eyes daring him to say something. She was teasing him, mocking him almost, and she damn well knew it. And she was damn proud of it.

Diseased

A sharp chuckle escaped him as he stared at her. "You think you can beat me, mon cherie? Think again." His voice was taunting now as he stared at her, his bright green orbs burning with fire. Suddenly, Lelaps, one of Psychopaths pups came charging towards him running from her sister Twisted. One yellow eye and one red eye was that of this pup and it was enough to set anyone off guard. Suddenly she veered and slammed straight into Karitania. With a yelp she fell back and stared at the alphess angrily for a moment then turned and ran once more to get away from her lighter black sister.

Diseased chuckled softly as he watched the two sisters run. Lycaon, the only male of the litter stayed near Lysian his eyes watching the two. He was unsure of this thing they called play. Diseased bowed before Twisted and barked at her. The female halted and yipped and ran straight for him and pounced on him nipping his ears as Lelaps went for a back leg. Soon enough, Faded and Faint charged over to attack their alpha as well. "Come on Karitania. Play with us." His voice was taunting her once more his eyes teasing and playful. He did not seem like the deadly killer but many things lurked inside another being that was well kept hidden until the most oppurtune moment.

Karitania and Lysian

Oh no, I know I can beat you. She grinned and winked at him but something then charged into her. The Alphess stood strong and looked down at the pup who was glaring daggers up at her with two different colored eyes. Karitania was taken aback, but the pup was soon off again, chasing her sister.

She smiled. Pups had such an easy life. Shaking her head she turned back to Diseased. She watched as he seemed to challenge Twsited and before long she had charged for him and latched onto his ear. Lelaps, who had only just charged into Karitania, began to chew on her alpha's back leg. Then two other pup joined in the assault. Karitania grinned. All these pups around made her pine for some of her own. She met eyes with Diseased as if to say "Are you sure?". She didn't want to anger the pups mothers. However she then pushed this away and grinned. Dipping her head down to the pups level she chuckled. Four on one is just not fair! She braced herself for anything the pups did. Knowing her luck though, they would ignore her completely.

Lysian watched as Lycaon did not join in the playing. He crouched down next to the pup. Why aren't you playing with your sisters? Is something wrong?

Diseased

Suddenly Faint and Twisted turned to Karitana, there eyes watching her ever so closely. "CHARGE!" Came the shout from the female. The black and white male and his counterpart charged for Karitania and leaped upon her laughing as they did so. Twisteds bright red eyes gleamed and she growled her fiercest as she tried to latch her small teeth onto Karitania's ear. Faint yipped and pounced on her back growling just as fiercly.

Lelaps and Faded continued their assault upon their alpha as yips growls and barks filled the air. Night was falling and the alpha knew that he would have to leave soon. It was hard to watch five pups and a pack. Little did he know, four more bundles of joy was on there way.

Lycaon turned his eyes and revealed for the first time that he was blind in his left eye. "Playing is not my choice of fun." He turned back watching his alpha and the alphess coldly. Yes life was hard on him. He had his mothers cruel intentions and his fathers coldness to him. A deadly combination in the ways of the world.

Karitania and Lysian

Thinking she wasn't going to be assaulted, Karitania let her guard down at the wrong moment. Faint and Twisted soon came for her and Karitania was not ready. With a chuckle, she ducked down so it was easier for them to pounce on her. Small sharp teeth latched onto her ear and soon enough Faint had clambered his way onto her back. She laughed trying to gently bat Twisted with her paws. The problem with Faint being on her back was she couldn't reach him, she felt small claws and teeth on her back. She giggled and gently shook, trying to make the pup wiggle around. Soon enough, the darkness began to creep in. Wherever the pups were on her body, Karitania lay down, grinning.Come on guys, I think it's probably time we all went home. Even though Karitania and her pack didn't have a home, they would find somewhere before the moon full came out. The Alphess gently shook, dislodging the pups and hopefully getting them off her and gently to the floor. Giving them both a quick nudge, she stood up and moved over towards Diseased. I think its probably time the pups went to sleep, It'll be dark soon.

Lysian grinned at the pup, lying down next to him. Yeah, Me neither.

Diseased

He smiled and stood, watching as the two pups released her and feeling his own two slide off he grinned at her. Softly he whispered as he moved closer to her "Why don't you and your pack come and stay with us. There is plenty of room at the Parnassian meadows. Eternal, the alphess there, will not mind." THe black and white alpha was smiling as he weighed the consequences in his mind. The worst thing that could happen was Eternal got angry at him. The best thing.....Lets not think that far yet. HE did not know if the alphess felt the same way for him as he did for her.

Karitania, Titania, Thesarios, Inkalio and Lysian

She smiled as he moved towards her and her heart began to pulse faster. She tried to remain calm. Then he said something she had hoped he would say. With barely any hesitation, she replied. Thank you Diseased, I will accept your offer.
She barked to her back to stand and get ready to move. However when they refused to get up, the smile faded. She turned, tail high and trotted towards them in a business-like manner. She snapped at Thesarios, who was the first of the group she came to. The others pulled themselves up resonably sharply. She moved towards Lysian and the pup next to him and smiled as warmly as she could at the pup, but Lysian could sense her coldness towards them since they had refused to do as they were instructed. I think we're leaving now, do you want to go back to your mom and walk with her home? She gently nudged him, encouraging him to stand and go to his mother. Then she turned and locked eyes with Lysian who immidiatly dipped his head. He stood and jogged up next to Titania. Karitania then took the lead again and trotted back to Diseased smiling. We're ready, Lead the way. What he didnt know was she did feel the same and she was hoping to show him when they got back to the packland.

Diseased

He grinned and nodded and turned and began to trot away, towards the parnassian meadows the others following him in suit. They were faithful, and paid attention well. The only one who didn't follow was Insanity who lay muttering darkly to himself. Schizophrenic was what he was. As Wicked passed by him she nudged his shoulder gently and murmered a soft word of comfort into his ear. He seemed to jolt and a flash of a smile crossed his face as he stood suddenly and followed her. They were not mates but friends. Psychopath....Was to busy with her motherly duties to help Insanity.

"Twisted, Lelaps, Lycaon lets go." She barked as she began to trot away. Twisted and Lelaps followed their mother just as Faint and Faded trotted after theirs but Lycaon stayed next to Lysian. He was his new friend. The half blind male was not afraid of his mother. A bad thing. Courageous, but bad.

Karitania, Titania, Thesarios, Inkalio and Lysian

Karitania and the now rallied pack moved after Diseased.

Lysian smield down at Lycaon, nudging him gently. Come on, Lets go.
