Kaaluk Stalked the rocking outcropings as he searched for a late night meal, He at a Large ram a few hours ago but all this roaming made him hungry, He searched the rocks for a cozy den or cave to spend the night if not make him own. Since the swamplands he had changed, He left the female in the middle of the night Feeling unwelcome and unwanted she was sleeping he head wound had healed for the most part but they had got into another scuffle about his "over eating: she called it...how could she understand he was so much larger then her.....Still He made sure to find a nice stag an drag it to the cave before he left, He found his way out of the swamps a few days later....He Heard her howls, He didnt knoe if she was looking for him or simply howling at something else....none the less she had got what she wanted, He was gone.
"Ah theres a nice cozy looking cave" Though Kaaluk as he found a dark hole in the rock wall, he entered it and inspected it. the Cave floor had been warm smooth from years of wind and water, but beyond tha tit looked as if the gave hadent been used in years. Kaaluk marked his territory, and then moved in a large circle untill he heard another ram, But When He sniffed the air, He Picked up on another scent, Kaal dropped to his belly the rocky land rendering him invisible, another reason he had chosen this area to call home, the wind was blowing towards him, which is how he picked up on the others scent, and what would keep it from smelling his scent, Now he just had to lay and wait, Its scent was gettin stronger....it was coming right to him.

The rams here were always delicious, as were the ewes, but when it came to tenderness nothing was better than the gangly kid goats hanging close to their mothers' side. It was rare to see one born out of season, and even rarer that they would be so healthy. Ula couldn't help herself. She had spent almost an hour, working to make herself invisible while at the same time edging the mother and child away from each other. Then, while the mother had browsed on a scraggly little bush, the dark she-wolf had made her move. Her fangs closed with deadly accuracy around the kid's slender neck, the sweet tanginess of his blood flooding across her tongue as he bleated for his mother. The ewe gave a few fruitless charges before she realized her child was lost and she wouldn't best the midnight furred wolfess growling around the fuzzy neck in her mouth. Finally the defeated mother clattered away, bleating her misery to the world. Oh well, at least I'll eat tonight. Ula thought, a bit smugly as she sat down to eat her fill of the goatling that lay lifeless before her. She ate around his belly and back before she noticed a slight chill in the air. Huh... Guess I'll just have to finish this back at the den then.
The kid was much lighter now than it had been in it's uneaten state, but it made Ula top heavy and she found it was a little difficult to cross the small cracks in the rocky ground. However, she was still able to move quickly and never once did her paws slip or did she trip on her way back to the small den where she had been staying recently. It wasn't much, just a small whole in the face of a small hill-like thing that jutted out of the ground, but it was warm and dry and if this chill kept up then it would be greatly appreciated. Ula had almost gotten home when the wind-which had been blowing from behind her-briefly whipped back in her face before returning to its rightful course. The wind was irritatingly cold and sent a shiver down her spine, however it wasn't the wind that froze the black she-wolf's lithe figure. Someone was ahead of her, probably in her den, and that someone was close. Sniffing daintily at the wind, the young wolf tried to gather more information on the wolf waiting somewhere ahead of her, but the wind was a fickle thing and was less than obliging. Giving a snort of irritation, Ula dropped her kill-there was no reason of getting it stolen if she met up with someone-in a small dugout in the ground. It would be hidden well here and since it was mostly covered, the wind would have a harder time reaching it and advertising its scent all over the area. Then, with a faint growl and a look of determination coming over the femme's features, she took of for the den.
Her paws made quiet thuds as she raced over the rocks, every stride carrying her closer and closer to her goal and whoever waited there. But she wasn't worried about that, she just wanted to make sure she had a warm place to stay that night. So when Ula finally arrived at the small den, a growl sounded from her chest when she smelled the scent markings. The agile female lowered her head even more so than it usually was and stalked toward the cave mouth, her tail swishing behind her angrily. Whoever was inside was about to meet a very angry she-wolf.

When Kaal Lost the scent of the other wolf for the split second he knew he was in trouble as the wind had changed Direction He bounds up the cliff face and waited about 3 feet over the roof of the cave mouth. At first when He saw the black streak heading fo rhte cave mouth he almost ignored it then The full force of its scent hit him. As he looked down on the wolf from obove he gathered details quickly as he had learned to in the wilds of this new land. He could smell blood upon it, It must have fed recently, From its lith figure He was sure It was a female or the weakest male he had ever seen, Concluding it was a female he slide closer to the edge of the cliff as he looked down upon her, Invisble among the rocks, The wind in his favor he could tell she was cold, the wond whipped from behind her force-fully and she shuddered for a moment, Kall thick coat and vast size kept him warm enough even in the northlands he was raley cold. As he continued to watch the female he began to notice that she was very angry....this must be her dden he thought but he smiled to himself and though of her warm blood gushing over his maws, My den now....he tensed every muscle in his body slowly raised his hind end and dug his hind paws into the rock, His front paws ofer the edge of the cave mouth and spring loaded, he waited until the female was directly under him, andd then He lept, The speed was that of pure kilelrs intent, the height was perfect enough to give him a crushing even paralyzing first blow, but not enough for even the quickest creature would beable to avoid his oncoming onslaught, Kaal landed upon the Females Back perfectly and bit into her left flank, Deeply.

Ulalooked up when she heard the noise of claws scratching against stone, realizing her mistake a moment too late. The males huge body fell on her back, fangs biting into her flank like knives. The she-wolf let out an agonized howling yelp, twisting around beneath him and biting at him body. Her fangs searching for his belly, shoulder, neck, paw, anything that might hinder this male enough for her to at least untangle herself from him. There! An opening in his belly! With the speed and agility of a python, the black female struck, attempting to slash into his soft underbelly with her dagger-like fangs. Already her mouth watered at the thought of his blood and the small gland under her tongue started pumping out poison that would infect any wound she caused with her fangs on this male.
Pain blossomed in her flank as the male's teeth seemed to bite down harder, and she yelped loudly again. She suddenly regretted venturing out where there was no one to come and save her from an attack such as this. She suddenly regretted not having been more cautious when she was approaching the den, even though she had known someone was there. Stupid girl! Now he's going to kill you and no one will ever know! She scolded herself mentally before focusing completely on trying to simply survive through any lengths necessary.

Kaaluk only slighty noticed the claw attacking his belly, His thick Muscle would keep most of his vital organs safe, So he pressed his attack His thick hind legs lashing out at the females face trying to gouge out her eyes, Although he would settle for anything, he felt warm blood erupt across his hind paws a knew he hit home....He didnt take a moment to see what he hit, Instead he wrestled the female to thr ground, She was a good fighter...but much Smaller The Kaal and his brute force was winning the fight....Kall wrapped his front paws under the females belly thinking to hold on but instead he dug his claws in deep into her soflt flesh and ripped her open from both sides, He then released his hold on her flank and bit down further up her back the base of her spine he thrased his head from side to side attempting to break the bone in his mouth, which would cause the lose of movement of the lower half of the she wolfs body, But at the same time a blinding pain in his leg as he relized that the she wolf managed to bite onto his right hind leg he was un-acostomed to this kind f pain and knew right away that she had some sort of secreat weapon hidden inside her jaw, Enraged and in a blood fury Kaal Thrashed his head harder then ever before in his life and kicked the females face he heard her whimper at his kick but he pressed his attack with his front paws he went to gouge her under belly a second time

Ula howled out in pain as the males hind claws slashed across her nose and through her left eye, drawing blood and perhaps blinding her on that side. This male was going to beat her, and simply because of his sheer size. His claws slashed her belly, cutting through her thick fur and muscle with obvious ease. Ula gave a screaming howl, the blood dripping from her numerous wounds even as a new one was inflicted. The huge male's fangs bit down at the base of her spine and such intense pain flew throughout the female's body it made her head spin. He shook his head and the pain worsened; each shake making her paws go numb a little bit. He's going to snap your back! MOVE!! A voice was screaming in her ear, almost as loudly as her agonized yelps.
Finally, Ula felt something at the tip of her nose. She didn't care what it was, she just bit and bit hard. The male hesitated for a split second and the dark wolfess knew she had hurt him, with the poison now leaking into his body and being carried through his blood the pain was about to get a lot worse for him. She bit again, on the same leg, even more poison infecting the male. The effects of the poison would set in quickly, but Ula wasn't sure if she had that much time left. Already, dots danced before her eyes. How much blood have I lost...? She wondered absentmindedly, surprised at the effort it took just to think. But then the male was shaking his head again and at least five times as hard as before. He kicked the young female, the blow landing under her jaw and causing a whimper to escape her throat. Again, his claws scraped across her belly, hitting the wound already there and widening it even more. She knew she wouldn't be able to last much longer, but that only made her fight harder. She snarled with a savagery she had never before commanded in any other fight, desperateness driving her over the edge as her jaws searched for anything and everything there could be on her attack for her to rip and tear. The wound on her stomach widened even more and for a moment, the world went black, the only thing remaining being pain and the sound of the male's snarls in her ear. It was in that moment she sent out a desperate howl, begging for anyone to save her. But then, the male's jerking brought her back to the present and she once more focused on not dieing.

Poison....And Kaal Knew it....Slowly a red haze began to swirl around his mind and thought of his mother came to him when he was once bitten by a rattle snake as a pup the he pushed his all into the fight blood from the femal flowing like a water fall the world evaporated and the world came back into focus at that time right after being bitten by the snake "Hes not going to make it....The snake bit hard and the venom races to his heart as we speak" said his father, Then his mother " I know he will make it, hes been through worse" his father again " No not like this....the snakes venom will kill.....what in the world....Look, His leg" his mother through crys of happniess and confusion, "His body is repelling the Venom....but how?....I have never seen this before...." His father once again, "No....it does not repeal the venom, It his pushing enough out that will keep him alive, My brother had the same secreat....it always left him weak, But he would fight on non the less....however....there is a limit it can push out, The snake was littel enough that he will be up and playng again by this evening.... ut had it been more....he might be sick for days, even more he would die a very slow and painful death......" justy then the world snapped back into focus as the female bit his leg a third time Kaal knew he would win the fight and that he might be able to hunt come morning again but if the female kept biting him he might be out for a few days...death however was not on his agenda today, Kaal renewed his attack his mouth slipped off the females spine and Kaal bit down again hard on the females side he ripped a huge chunk from her side right down to the rib bone kaal upset he missed he spine spit the mouthfull of meat out and bit down on her spine again this time the teeth on his lower jaw felt the bones of her spine, his jaws snapped shut like a steel trap Kaal began to shake his head from side to side once more, either the Female would give up the fight or Kaal would kill her, That was the only intent here.

No... Ula's poison was having less and less of an effect on the large male, almost as if he was pushing it from his body. No... Pain, agonizing pain, erupted from the female's side as the male tore her open again. This time when his jaws bit down again, his teeth grated painfully against her spine. Die... A voice in her mind cooed peacefully, its presence like a cool drink of water on a hot afternoon. It's ok... You can die now... Just let yourself slip away... Die... The pain will stop... All you have to do... Is die.... It was right, death was the only way out of this fight. A fact the female was reminded of again and again as the male continued to shake his head savagely. With a sigh, the female realized something. There was no one coming. There was no one to save her. Gann wouldn't leap out of the bushes and kill her attacker then heal her as he had done in Giaku. There was no hope for her... She was dead already, her head just didn't know it yet.
With effort, Ula forced her body to go limp. She simply couldn't win. Maybe if she had been more cautious, she would have had a better chance, but with his ambush there had been no steady ground for her to tread. Everything had happened to fast for her to react and she accepted that, and so she simply lied there and let her limp body be shaken back and forth by the vicious male. She only wished she had been more careful...

Kaal felt the female go limp under him he released his hold on her and looked at the female....She wasnt dead but she was ont he brink.....blood loss would likely be her killer. Kaal Limped to the mouth of the cave went inside he searched the den for something to try to help staunch the females bleeding finding nothing he went out to look for the herbs his mother often found for him when he was hurt, then finding nothing among the rocky craigs he was begging to lose hope of saving the female when he came upona half eated carcass...it must have been the females kill the soft fur would do well to staunch the flow of blood he drug the body back tot he cave and then the females limp bleedi ng body inside as well he was able to press the females body tightly against that of the kill he could do little fore her face, her eye had been gouged and was compleatly un-saveable he ripped a hunk of meat of the baby animal and stuffed it in the cavity of the females body the fur side in to stop the flow of blood Kaal tened to the cuts on her face the best he could....only time would tell now....He was her master now....she served him....she...kaal began to get woozy, "dammit....the poison" kall fell from his feet a soft thud on the floor, He came to about mid-day the next day and found the female was still lying there she hadent moved much over night and Kaal could tell she was still in pain and her only escape from the pain was slumber...So kaal decided he had time to hunt and bring back a fresh kill, He manged to down three rams, He ate each one to the bone not even enough left for scavengers then he ran down a fourth one an drug it back to the cave, When he got there he could tell the female would wake soon as she was beginng to shift more often now Kaal lef the kill by her nose and melted into the shadows of the cave

When Ula finally came to the next day, it was already late afternoon. The sun stained the rocks a satin red, making it look as if a lake of blood had painted their entire surface. Blood.... The word echoed through her mind as she absently wondered if this was the afterlife. But no, she quickly realized it wasn't when the pain wracked through her slender frame. The black female gasped, clenching her teeth and squeezing her eyes shut against her agony. Gods.... Why didn't he just kill me? Anything would be better than this! In those few moments the she-wolf longed for death, would have welcomed it even, she would have gone to any lengths to stop her torture. She tried to stand; that was when she noticed the kid laying against her side. Wait.... That's my kill! Ula growled at her own foolishness, she had been naive to think it wouldn't be found. Oh well, if it hadn't been then I wouldn't be alive right now. The femme instantly wondered if that would be such a bad thing as another wave of pain savaged her weakened body.
I need food... She realized, instantly turning her gaze onto the remains of her kill from the day before. Her blood stained its feathery white fur and that for a moment deterred her, but hunger eventually won out and she snapped up a few bites of the still pink flesh. Only when Ula had started eating did she realize how hungry she truly was, and then she couldn't stop. Within minutes she had eaten all of the meat from the bones, leaving only the hooves and head intact. Strength coursed through her muscles once again, though only at a fraction of what it should have been. However, in her current state even that small amount of energy was welcome. The midnight furred she-wolf stood on shaky legs, forcing herself to stay standing. It worked. The ground didn't rise to meet but it waved and coiled beneath her paws, fading in and out of focus. Ula shook her head in an attempt to make the world stay still, but it was to no avail. Finally, she gave up and limped toward the cave mouth, her wounds aching tortuously. But she had to get away, the male would come back and he would finish what he started. It was only then that Ula realized life was too precious to give up so easily. She wanted to live. She wanted to survive...

The male's voice cutting through the mounting darkness caused Ula to jump with surprise. She snarled and whirled around as fast as she could, which at the moment wasn't that fast. "Your den? I was here first you arrogant dog! And that's something you should remember when your marking. Maybe if you weren't so pig headed you'd be able to smell my own scent from how long I've been sleeping here." She snapped before turning to continue on her way. "And I wasn't going to attack you! If you didn't notice, you were the one who tried to rip my throat out." Her last words were called over her shoulder as she staggered toward freedom.

Ula froze, one paw still in mid-step. Are you threatening me now?" She growled, turning around with her muzzle wrinkled in disgust. "Or maybe you're just wanting to scare me byputting all these ideas in my head, huh?!" She growled again, taking a step back into the cave. "Speak fast or kill me before you lose your chance to whatever else is out there!" She was angry and in pain, and the world just wouldn't stand still. She was dizzy from blood loss, and ticked off from this stupid dog who insisted on continually harassing her.
At that point, she didn't care what happened.

*sighs* they are all the same... Kaal Looks up and faces the female Wolf in the face, looking at her good eye " I should have let you die out there last night....but no Instead I let my guilt get the better of me again, I tried to help you the best I could the Reason why you still have the gift of life and how do you thank me by THINKING you could take me in your weakend state, By THREATING me here when I have beaten you once, ravaged your body and blinded youin one eye and yet you still insist that you are right I am wrong and that the world revoles around you..... You just dont get it....your non better then a spoiled Pup, You know what go out there Get yourself killed, bleed out because you ate the only think stanching your blood flow instead of the ram" Kaal nods at a corner of the den not far from where the Wolfes had been lying then at the ground around the wolfess as a puddle of blood was just begging to encircle her feet. "Whats it going to be? piss of the Wolf thats 5 times your size in the state your in ? or accept his help and live to fight another day...?"
