Shadow Hunters vs Kings

[Revera]

Nuka smiled at the young males' brashness. "Oh yes, I wouldn't dream of taking such a brilliant kill away from you, but your warriors are another story." He snarled, his eyes locking right onto the crag of rock where the small white star had disappeared only a moment ago. "Come on out Rats!" He snapped with a smile. "I'm right here."

[ienzodarkness]

Luna's eyes widened. CRAP! Oh my Alpha,he saw me,he saw me,he saw me! Luna felt regret,even more alarm,guilt,danger,all bubbling inside her,penetrating her mind and thoughts. She'd stuffed it. She'd absolutely stuffed it. It's all my fault,it's all my fault that he knows we're here,and it's all because of me! The young wolf wrenched her eyes shut. Just trying,trying to push all negative thoughts out her mind,which was rather difficult when she knew herself that she'd just ruined everything. What would her mum think? And her dad? And Ky. Everyone would hate her. Luna,the one who get everyone killed. The dark pelted wolf didn't move,fear inside her. She couldn't move. Even if Nuka knew she was here. Not until she knew that her mum wanted her to. I'm going to get everyone killed she thought hopelessly. This is all my fault,how could I have been that stupid? No kidding,Luna,remember,this is you She opened her eyes,staying silent.

[Revera]

Aria struggled down the cliffs behind the Keepers frontline and out of view of Nuka. She knew that the Keepers were just under her paws like ants in their hills. She could attack from here and flush them out or...

She dipped low as she sensed two wolves on the outside coming closer to the frontline. Keeper reinforcements? The smell of their intent led her to beleive it so. Aria nodded as she watched them take the backline. They hadnt seen her yet, and they wouldnt. Quickly the light brown wolf slipped under the folliage and disappeared as a spectator to the war.

[ladywolf]

Rayne cursed under her breath, this was not going according to plan. Someone must have tipped off the Kings earlier, but who? Now he knew where her daughter was. Rayne dipped her head down to whisper, Stay here until my order..... I love you.

With that, the black female stood from her perch and walked slowly down the cliff side, her crystal eyes never leaving Nuka. Every movement expressed calm, though her senses were trying to grasp an understanding of how many Kings they were dealing with. One...two....three....four.... she knew there were more, but there were at least four watching them in close proximity.

Rayne held her head up high, her voice expressing the regal calm she was known for, It isn't often that we are graced by your presence Nuka. What an honor for my young males to see are real warrior.

She knew they were surrounded, but if Rayne could keep up the facade that she didn't know and that Ky and Kovu were inexperienced pups instead of the warriors they were, it would give her the element of surprise once more.

Her nose caught the traces of Frost all over the massive alpha, Smells like you've taken a mate, how fortune for you. I know she can't be far from you, now is she? Not like Frost to hide out behind her male like a pup.

[Revera]

"That you're right." He barked watching the Shadow Beta slip from the rocks. "But this was such a simple matter that she didn't even bother to come. Now why don't the rest of your snakes pull yourselves out of the ground. Oh and say hi to that little Mountain Valley stool pigion for us. The information she had sure came in handy."
His voice was almost playful as he scanned the rocks behind the beta. Where was the Blood Moon? He was always with his Shadow Walker. That's what the legends said. Argus will have to take him down. I don't need another run in with that brute. His shoulders still bared the naked marks of their last encounter.

*** Sparrow's eyes grew wide as two large wolves he hadn't seen before came around the hill. He hunched down in time to catch sight of a gray female under the rocks. Beside her the Black male, Kiba watched. Had he seen them? The healer swung his tail down the edge where Rowan was stalking. The brown burly male drew up and over the crest to hide with Sparrow. Now all they had to do was wait.

[Myria]

Myria remained hidden, ever the grey phantom among the snow and dead foliage.

We're surrounded...I can almost feel them waiting to sink their teeth into us.

The timber beta remained quiet, feeling Chase's muscles tensing beside hers. The beta turned and gave him a look, silently begging him to hold out a little longer. It must be difficult for him to remain so close to the ground for such a while...

Myria watched as Rayne addressed Nuka, and the beta waited for her signal. She would need to find an enemy to dispose of, but with so many, it would not prove difficult.

[ienzodarkness]

Luna let her eyes gaze up at her mum as she walked out from her hiding place. Guilt began to bubble up inside her. Mum shouldn't be doing this...It's my fault,I shouldn't of been seen she thought,closing her eyes,listening to her mum speaking to Nuka. She was no Watcher,Luna was sure,but the young wolf could just sense that blood was going to be spilt from both packs. But whose? She tried to focus on any enemy's scent,instead of all the familiar ones she had grown fond to. Myria,Chase,dad,Shannon,her mum,Ky,Kovu she couldn't smell any other scents,and if she could,she had no idea what she was searching for.

[Misty]

Misty crept her way into the snowy battlefield. Her white coat and Torvus's white one helped them blend in perfectly. Misty silently crept forward, hunching so that she was low to the ground. Beside her, Torvus did the same. Their breathing was silent and controlled, nothing more than the wind that was blowing through them. Their scents were covered by the thick aura of a fresh kill.

Misty's grey eyes flickered over to where the scent was emitting from and she eyed the two handsome males there. Both younger than she and built around the same size and height. For a moment, she wondered if they were brothers.
A mahogany male stood stiff but his stance looked unprotected. So did the other red male. They both looked terribly inexperienced. How were they chosen to be in the war? Pups!

Misty scanned around, her senses drawing in everything. A couple of new wolves...Luna? Misty's eyes flickered over to where she saw the black female crouching low, hidden in the brushes. Misty's eyes widened a bit. Young Luna had gown into a very beautiful female....how would Kit look like?

Misty noted that Lykiaos and Alira were not anywhere in sight or smell. What happened to them? Misty silence her breathing and stalked silently forward, making sure that her swirl marking around her left eye did not catch the glimmer of the moonlight.

Misty took in a deep breath, catching the scent of the Kings. They were surrounded by the bloody Kings! Misty watched as Rayne walked upto Nuka, casually. Did she not know they were surrounded? But...no. Of course she would know. ShadowWalker knew everything.
Misty stayed hidden behind the rest of the pack, knowing they wouldn't see nor smell her. She would give them all the element of surprise. It would be no good if they saw her and gave away their positions by being surprised during hiding.
Torvus, stay a little behind me. They don't know you so they might think you're against us. Now, take in a deep breath of everyone hidden around us. The foul stench is the Kings, remember. Misty's whisper came out no louder than a soft breath.

[ladywolf]

Rayne's heart raced and she was forced to bite back her snarl. So the Mountain Valley had betrayed them....that's how her otherwise perfect plan was having to be severely altered. Serves her right for trusting a pack she knew was weak. She had thought that Avalon would have been loyal to his sister, but apparently blood was weaker than she believed.

Rayne made sure not to let the surprise show on her face when she spoke carefully. She knew it was no easy feat to shake Nuka, but if her tongue was still the dagger she was known for, the beta could get a rise out of the other Kings and give her an idea of their position.

We don't associate with the Mountain Valley. Whatever information they've told you seems to be false. I am conducting training with my young males here. Neither have brought down a kill before, so you'll understand why this is an accomplishment. I believe there are some members of your pack who are just as inexperienced. One who is very close to your heart....Aria her name was?

Rayne watched for any recognition to spread across Nuka's face and decided to push his weakness further, Honestly I'm surprised you didn't take her for a mate. She seems to be moronic enough to be easily twisted to your will Nuka. I wouldn't have thought Frost would be so enchanted by the promise of power....perhaps Jade, she didn't seem the brightest when I last encountered her. But that Aria, she is the real prize.

Her crystal eyes caught the massive male, Perhaps she has fallen for one of my males. They would just love to have her writhe beneath them, violate her because it would be so....very.....easy.

Her voice had taken a sick, twisted edge that she was hoping to dig into Nuka's heart; as cruel as he was, she knew that was his soft spot. If she just dug a little deeper...

[ky]

Ky's golden gaze went from Rayne to Nuka and he smiled inwardly. He could see what she was doing. She didn't want Nuka to know that both he and Kovu were experienced fighters and it seemed like she was hoping Nuka would attack them so the other Kings would expose themselves.

Clever.


In an attempt to validate her story, Ky dropped his tail and hoped Kovu would get the message to do the same. If Nuka attacked, he and his new brother would be there to fight beside Rayne....but the alpha didn't need to know that.

[jwolf]

Kovu internally smirked at Rayne's words. Seeing Ky's message, Kovu dropped his tail and stood loosely and proud. Acting proud of his brilliant kill and looking like an inexperience wolf.

[Revera]

Nuka couldn't hold back the snarl of rage from even the idea of his young Aria under those filthy rotten Rats! "How dare you!" He spat beggining to circle the black wolf. His paws traced onto their territroy as easily as his own. For it IS his own. and he would make that known tonght. "My Aria would never associate with trash like your kind."
Now his back was to the inexpirenced males. "Tell me Rayne, if this is simple practice why is that one hiding?"
Before she could look the King raced to young black wolf's hiding spot. His heavy breath bellowed with his victory. "She must be the prize for whoever makes the kill correct? Come on out Beautiful," He goaded sinking his teeth into her forleg to drag her from the rocks.
"Ah, she looks just like you Shadow Walker. Once I dispose of you, we'll see if she screams like you as well!"
Suddenly the forest bled with Kings wolves on all sides. Jade and Frost bounded from the shadows to the left, coming closest to the young red males. From the right Sparrow and Rowan let off their war cries and attacked the gray female only to find a white one they hadn't seen before. The pack erupted in howls of blood lust leaving Nuka the quiet in the storm. His voice came out soft, as his warriors destroyed the shadows around them. "Say hello to Beta for me."

***
Aria jumped when the fight happened accidentally making herself known to the two white reinforcments. Her eyes locked with the shocked look on the one with a black swirl around her eye. She pinned her ears and tried to look as much the pup as she could. "I'm not for either side. My brother is down there. I just want to make sure he's okay." She whined, "Please don't hurt me." She bared her missing eye to the pair showing off he worst weakness. She only hoped they were wolves of mercy.

[ienzodarkness]

Luna didn't have time to react. For such a huge male,Nuka was surprisingly fast. She let out a small yelp of shock and slight pain as the giant male dragged her out of her hiding place. Luna looked up at the huge male,and instantly saw horrible things flickering through his eyes. She was scared,yes,but she was not going to show it. And she was not going to think of some nasty remark either. Fear was bubbling inside her,so strong it felt like bugs were crawling all over her. Silence was the only thing that Nuka won from her at this moment of time,as she gazed up at him,eyes hard and stony. I'm going to die from this beast,aren't I? she thought to herself,seeing her own death being caused by this monster. She could see herself having her throat ripped out by this gigantic wolf. No. I can't fail my pack...I can't fail my Alphas

[Revera]

Nuka chuckled at the determination in the young ones eyes. Rayne's eyes. "Well, little beta." He barked keeping his attention on Rayne. "It seems I've found a prize much more valuable to you than any common buck. A daughter." He gripped her scruff hard to make her squeal. His thoughts were still on Aria, what had become of her. Why wasn't she here?
The pups fluttering heart was music to the King's ears.
"help her Mommy." Nuka taunted pulling her out farther. "She's so scared."

[ienzodarkness]

Luna bit back the squeal that urged to be free. She wasn't going to give in to this monster. Her heart was ramming against her ribs,and her breath went short as soon as Nuka gripped her scruff. I may be scared,but I won't ever give in to a beast like you she thought,trying to focus on something else that would ease the pain.
