Curious of a human soul (open)

[aquamarine]

Titus looked at the human village and slowly traveled toward it through tall grass. After entering the village he took to the shadows and hid in between the alley ways of the human's huts. As he weaved through he kept his young eyes open for any humans curious to meet one. Titus sniffed the air and smelled blood. Licking his chops he followed the sent to a small shed. Sniffing the air Titus traveled into the shed an looked around. Metal chains were hung on hooks and a clutter of weird metal items stood on a table. Smelling the blood started to make Titus' mouth water. He sniffed the the metal things and found the source of his hunger. a dead bunny hung on one of the hooks. Licking his chops again he jumped onto the table and reached for the bunny with a open mouth. He moved his front paw forward onto one of the metal objects. As his paw touched the metal thing it snapped an clamped down on his paw. Titus yelped loudly as he fell out off the table and on to the floor. Metal clattered as he Tried to get up but he found the end of the trap metal thing was stuck onto one of the hooks. He felt faint as his paw started to drip blood. Titius lifted his head and howled hoping something would help him.

She heard howling coming from a nearby village. "Not another one." She sighed. Rosie slowly walked towards the howling. She played her violin, hoping the canine would understand this as a human way of howling. It consisted of long, low notes that rose up, a bit like a howl. She saw the hut where the howling was coming from. Stepping with care, Rosie pushed open the door. A black and red wolf lay on the floor with one of those traps hunters use. Her eyes gazed up, looking at a rabbit hanging from the wall. She spoke in fluent wolf tounge, "So that's what you were after." She chuckled and bent down to open the trap. So king as the wolf didn't struggle, she should be able to get the wolf out.

Titus' ears shot up as the weirdest yet soothing howl entered his ear. At first it frightened him and he tried to move but only tore his flesh even more. He held in a yelp as he sniffed the air and found another weird smelling human. He bowed his head. He wanted to see a real human. he already met those who could change into his own race. He wanted to met a real living human. The weird sounding howl got closer and a shadow of a human spread into the room from the moonlite. As the human-wolf came into veiw his vision kinda went blurry for a second because of the pain from the trap. As his eyes refocused he saw the human-wolf bend down and start to undo the trap thing. Though she spoke in his tongue, Titus didn't reply. He was to busy looking at the human-wolf's clothes and her weird old wooden sound maker. As she touched the trap Titus gave a low warning growl just to say that if she tried to hurt him intentionally he wouldn't be afraid to end her life. But then he gestured his muzzle to the trap showing that she could continue.

Rosie heard the wolf growl. "Hush wolf. The humans will not feel regret for killing you. You are but vermin to them." She added, muttering under her breath, "As am I, as am I." Rosie proceeded to open the trap. Blood stained her hands, but she carried on. At last, the trap was open. "Wolf, you may feel some pain. Please do not make any noise unless it is your wish to die." Rosie spent a few minutes taking the wolfs' leg out of the trap in the least painful way as possible. Finally, she got it out. She ripped some material off her sleeve and wrapped it round tightly against the wolfs' leg. Rosie hoped the wolf would not make any noise as she wanted to live. She tied a double knot to tie the cloth. Blood began to seep through. Rosie went to look at the trap. It looked dirty and the wolf possibly may end up having an infection in his leg. He would need some medicine. No doubt there would be a shaman in the village. Rosie lifted the wolf and placed him into a corner. "Stay here wolf. Do not make any noise. I shall be back." And with that last word, Rosie turned heel and walked towards the enterance.

Rosie looked for passing humans, then used Shadow Warp to hide in the shadows. She saw the shamans' hut immediatly. It was the one with lots of mini skulls and feathers hanging around the doorway. Rosie ran to the nearest shadow and peered into the hut. There was an old, frail man placing a variety of plants into a pot. How was she going to get in? As if her question was answered for her, the old man spoke, "Come in. I know you are out there." Rosie stepped in. The old man eyed her, as if judging her, then returned to sorting the plants. "Do you have anything that you could use for a deep cut that could be infected?" The old man did not seem to hear her. Rosie began to get impatient and asked the same question, but shouting. The old man lifted his head. "I can hear perfectly well, no need to shout." He stood up, beckoning Rosie towards a shelf holding pots of medicine. He took one, a small pot with stars on it. Rosie looked inside. It looked like a jelly of some kind. "How long is the cut?" asked the old man. Rosie made an estimate, gesturing with her hands, "About this long?" The old man took a wooden spoon and began to pour the jelly like mixture onto a large leaf. "A small dab will be sufficient." He folded the leaf up and gave it to Rosie. She bowed down and walked out of the hut.

The village was more active. Rosie knew there was no time to waste. The wolf could be getting worse. She used Shadow Warp again, drifting in the shadows. She found the hut, but there were people talking in front of the entrance. It was too risky to go in. Rosie hoped the wolf was alright. Ugly thoughts creeped into her head, but Rosie quickly pushed them away. She knew never to make assumptions as they could lead to grave mistakes. She crept round the back of the hut, hoping for a back entrance. Alas, no. Rosie would just have to wait for the people to leave.

Titus continued to listen to the human-wolf wondering if she reflected the humans that she was talking about. Not all humans could be like she says right?

"Wolf, you may feel some pain. Please do not make any sound unless it is your wish to die"

The human-wolf began to work to free his paw. Pain surged through him as she started to slowly free it. Because of the pain he began to feel his body temperature rising very quickly. Titus felt feint as his paw slipped out of the trap. Seeing the blood the human-wolf stripped of the edge of her clothing with a loud rip. she wrapped it around Titus' paw and picked him up. Titus' eyes widened. No one has been this close to him since his sibling died one year ago. He was about to lick her chin until he was set down again in a corner. He was told to wait. So he laid down and watched the wolf-human. Leave the shed. Few minutes after she left titus noticed weird scents getting closer to him. Weird speech was exchanged between them. It was now morning and Titus realized that the sents were of humans. He fought the urge to go out and greet them then realized his newly found friend wouldn't be able to reach him. Feeling brave he got up and peeked out the door. There were three humans infront of him only one would be able to see him though. Titus took a deep breath and began to sprint into some tall grass that was pretty close to the shed. As he sprinted past the humans screams began to erupt behind him. Finding his body temperature rising even higher he fought to control both his temper and power. Then all of the sudden he heard a woman cry out

"Get away from us you beast" she yelled

Titus snapped his head backwards toward the woman and snarled. As he was about to turn around and face her he felt his bandaged paw give way under the weight he placed on it. Next thing he knew Titus found himself on the ground howling loudly with pain.

[Streak]

Her head snapped round to face all the comotion. The wolf ran out of the hut. People were screaming. "Idiot!" She hissed under her breath. Rosie ran forward, guarding the wolf. She used Dark sword, the swirls in her eyes turning blood red. People were screaming, shouting the devil had returned. She payed no attention to them and continued to collect shadows. "Do not even TRY to harm this wolf, for if you do, you will have to face ME!" Many backed away, but only one man stood his ground. "What can you do, little girl? Scream at me?" Rosie looked straight into the man's eyes. "Don't make assumptions. It will be your gravest mistake." She threw the sword at the man, making it stop in front of his. "I could have killed you. Now, everybody, leave if you want to live."

The black shape watches from the edge of the treeline as both wolf and werewolf runs from the humans, blazing green eyes flashing angrily as the man shouts at Rosie, and the villagers shout at the wolf, clearly outraged at it's presence.
"Scum..."
He takes a step forwards, his feet crunching the snow beneath him as his claws scratch through bark and wood, his horrific, half-changed body balanced between wolf and human, both powerful and graceful, brutal but refined.
He glances at the blade of darkness she throws, and gauges the man's reaction before lifting his lips into a sadistic lupine grin.
Lifting his muzzle into the air, he bellows an inhuman howl, trailing off into a snarl, intended to intimidate and terrify the humans back into their homes.
"I long to kill them all..."

[aquamarine]

Titus dropped his head in shame as the human-wolf showed herself to the villagers. Threats were made but fortunately no blood was spilled. Titus' snapped his head upward as a unheard of howl rang through the village. The villagers began to freak out and choas squirmed through their minds. it's a distraction. Titus lifted his head and barked at the human-wolf then motioned to the long grass then in wolf began to speak."it's time to go."Standing up as best as he could he began to slowly to limp toward the long grass.

[Streak]

She was angry. Angry at how many underestimated her power. Even when she had dispersed the darkness back to their original shadows, her swirls still glowed red. Rosie was growling, wanting to kill. She heard the monstorous howl and howled back in return. Only when the wolf spoke did she snap back into reality. The howl was cut shot as she turned to face the wolf. Rosie followed him into the long grass. Rosie picked up the wolf and began to run into the forest. As soon as they were deep in, Rosie placed him down and began to shake her violin for that was were she had placed the medicine. After several moments of shaking, the leaf holding the jelly-like substance fell out. Rosie walked towards the wolf. "May I unwrap the bandage to place this in it?" She held up the medicine towards the wolf so he could see what Rosie was about to put on his leg.

[cptkickercutleg]

Cercius glares at the villagers with a pang of regret as the women and children cower in their homes, while the men panic and run around like headless chickens, unsure of what was going on.
The wolf and the girl retreat into the long grass and he growls softly, motioning forward to the other, hidden figure behind him.
"Vos?" the figure asks, growling at the male in front of her.
"Voh graal Mans, Ah graal Vulf en Man-Drappa, aye?"
She sighs, standing straight and stepping into the moonlight to reveal her golden fur, and begins to trudge discontentedly towards the village, going down on all fours to stay low and unseen, ready to head off the humans and lead them away should any of them seek to pursue the others.
The black werewolf slips away, slinking into the tall grass to follow the others.

[aquamarine]

Titus nodded at the human-wolf's request then looked up at her. "forgive me for blowing our cover. I knew you couldn't get to me so I felt like I had to do something. I'm Titus. I'm a lone wolf and I've been by myself for a year now."

[Streak]

Rosie began to unwrap the leaf. She knodded her head in acknowledgement. Rosie began to unwind Titus' bandage. "It is alright. You did what you thought best. I'm Rosie Hyde. I do not know how long I have been walking. Time does not matter to me." Rosie dabbed her fingers into the jelly like substance. She held Titus' leg and started to rub in the medicine. She hoped that Titus would not jerk his leg as she was not that strong.

[cptkickercutleg]

She creeps along the village border, her golden fur catching snatches of torchlight, glints of fireplaces from the warm houses. It makes her hate him even more...
"He took me away from this!" she thinks, growling ferociously, snapping her jaw at the thoughts, making a child, a girl...
No, it was a woman her own age, terrified of the visage she currently wore, this demonic body, all golden fur, ivory teeth and black claws, her bright blue eyes showing exactly who she was.
Nobody could mistake her for anything but a monster.
She continues to snarl, eliciting a loud scream from inside one house, and the hunters that had been pursuing her proginator and the others now turn back to the village with a sense of urgency now, running back to their families.
There was no skill there, she realises, and she suddenly sees them for what she once was: ignorant and afraid.
She couldn't really blame them, and who could?
She sighs, trailing her claws along a tool shed to draw them nearer, away from that little girl.
"What a mess she's gotten herself into...."
