Pain Untold (Captain/Open)

[Mythril]

The night was chilly, though not nearly as bad as it had been. It was a quiet still night, with a sense of baited breath as if it to waited the coming of spring and all that it entitled. Under normal circumstances Mythril would have been ecstatic at the season change for spring meant the flourishing of plant life, and in this new land there would be so much to discover as well as rediscover. But the joy had yet to find the pale snow white creature with ash dusted fur. She has sat much to long enjoying her conversation with Laurel, and her raccoon companion, Rocket. Twisted flesh cramped and tightened from its lack of use, and the supply of the plant she chewed on to full the pain had diminished to nothing.

Those steps were slow, deliberate, drawn out in a particular motion that lengthen that single limbs stride. It was a type of exercise that had been forced upon her in the human world, but forced or not it was an effective action that kept the damaged limb limber and functional. Still it annoyed her to have to resort to a human trained tactic in order to ease her suffering. Forward that leg stretched until it was nearly parallel with her stationary form holding it steady for several heartbeats. Then in a slow sweep she would pull it back extending it completely along her ribcage pointing towards her tail, holding that for several heartbeats. Repeat again and again for several long minutes. While the pain was intense, enough that her jaw clenched tightly to keep the whine from slipping free, she still endured until the end. Once she set her paw against the earth once more the relief was more then apparent in her expression.

Taking a deep spreading breath those pale moons cast themselves around the cave entrance. She had tucked herself completely out of the way, in a secluded little area so she would not be noticed while she worked her shoulder and loosened the scar tissue.

Captain / Open

[Captain]

It had been a while since Captain had spoken to or even laid eyes on the snowy female who was the current holder of his heart. He knew that it was because he had been busy accepting new member, patrolling borders, helping the alpha, and just doing various tasks around the pack. However, he also knew that it was unacceptable and in his eyes, rude. He had been the one to convince her to join his pack, letting her know she would never feel alone with him around, and then he had gone and disappeared. He was ashamed of himself for that and he knew he had to change it, right then.

Setting out to find her, he wondered what she had been up to, if she had met any friends or even just made any acquaintances, and what she thought of her new pack lands. Of course, he silently fussed at himself again, those were all things he should have already known but there was no point in the dwelling on the things he should have done, he would just have to do better. Keeping his nose low to the ground as if he was stalking prey, it took him only a few minutes before he caught her scent. Once he locked onto it, he quickened his pace and hurried over to her, only slowing down when he spotted her off in the distance.

Walking with calculated and silent steps, he crept forward, his eyes never leaving her form. Every time her ear would twitch or it seemed as if she might had heard him, he would freeze, not even breathing until he knew he was all clear. It was another minute or two that he continued moving like that until he was finally behind her. As soon as he came close to her, he couldn’t help but perk his ears, his tail wagging slightly, as her scent hit him. It was clear to tell that she had been hit with the effects of breeding season and while the silver male had no interest in having pups this year, his instincts were still quick to turn on.

With a smirk, he moved up behind her, pressing against her and laying his head on her back. “Hello, beautiful,” he purred seductively not bothering to hide the tones that were clear in his voice. Nibbling softly down her back, he continued speaking with a more apologetic tone, “I am sorry for my disappearance, the past few weeks have been hectic and busy but I can promise you it won’t happen again,” he nodded before reaching up to nuzzle her neck. It was taking all of his strength not to mount her right then but he more wanted to have some harmless fun teasing her.

A step seconds before those teeth closed in on her spine playfully nibbling alerted Mythril to the fact that she wasn't alone. Instinctively she stiffened, even as Captains voice whispered low and suggestive. Those twins, half broken, twisted back to lay flat as her pale moons chilled. Side stepping away from his affection she moved carefully barely putting any weight on her pain filled leg and shoulder. Shifting around until she faced him before lowering her rump to the ground. Beta... There was a cool formality to her voice, she was more then a little upset at the silvered wolf coupled with the irritation caused by the relentless pain those stiff twisted scars left her in a very receptive or forgiving mood. His promise that he would make sure she'd never be alone had only been a rouse to get his beloved pack more members. It was true she had met two wolves and a racoon since she'd been here. One before she came here if she included Natasha. And while Wraith wanted to learn about healing they had yet to start the lessons, thinking she would combine Captain's lessons with the white masked femme whose coat rivaled the night.

Still he had proven she was easily forgettable, coupled with his sudden advancement she was certain only had to due with the simple fact that she was in heat left a bitterness in her mouth feeling as if she were simply a toy for him to ignore until it caught his attention once more, however briefly. "I am certain you are busy, far to busy for the likes of me." With that she would stand, turning away with an obvious limp that she could not manage to conceal. A fact she cursed and belittled herself for internally.

The instant he stepped foot near Myth, he could feel the anger and the frustration radiating off the white female. Despite his attempts at cheering her up, nothing seemed to be working. She was obviously upset with him and no simple action or word of apology was going to fix that fact. With a quiet sigh, he took a step away from her, though he didn’t sit down. He needed to figure out how to fix the mistake he made of leaving her alone until the point where she thought he had abandoned her before he went and made himself comfortable.

“Mythril,” he spoke, his tone smooth and quiet, apologetic, “I’m sorry. There is no excuse for my disappearance, but I promise it wasn’t intentional. You were on my mind constantly, and I should have come to see you, but I didn’t. There’s nothing I can say to fix that, but I want to prove to you I didn’t mean it, that I still care about you.” As he spoke, his blue eyes never left her yellow ones. Not once did the sorrowful tone he spoke falter nor did he hesitate in his words. Every word he spoke was truthful and there was nothing he wanted more than to have her believe him.

For several minutes Captain sat quietly, his eyes resting on the ground as he waited for her to speak. He knew there was nothing else he could say to make her see that he was sorry nor would he try. If she was truly mad at him, truly regretted her choice in following him to his pack, then there was nothing more he could or would do. If she told him she didn’t forgive him for his disappearance and that she wanted nothing more to do with him, he would apologize one last time and let her go. After all, he had always heard, if you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it’s yours. If it doesn’t, then it never was. But as one last attempt to get her to see that he was being honest, he looked up at her, his eyes barely meeting hers as he half whispered, half whimpered, “Please believe me Mythril, I still care deeply for you. I don’t want to lose you over a stupid mistake.”

[Mythril]

Mythril would pause in her step as his voice rose behind her. With a grimace of pain she shifted her weight around once more so that she faced the silvered brute who held her heart and tossed it away. That ice and faintly shadowed cranium twisted upon its pedestal, the voice that rose from the depths of her throat held a bitterness to it. She had known his lies were to good to be true, no one really wanted a scarred female around, it was a lesson she'd been forced to learn very quickly after she had recovered somewhat from the grizzly's attack. "First of all Beta, if you truly cared about me you would notice I am in a great deal of pain at the moment. I have run out of the plants I need to reduce the pain. I tell you this not because I wish for pity, I'd rather it not be made obvious but the situation calls for it as you do not seem to care despite the words you speak." She took a deep breath while trying to control the shaking hurt and anger that threatened to lace her voice.

"Second of all, Beta, you made a promise and not more then a few hours later you broke that promise and continued to break that promise. How exactly do you expect me to believe your words now?" Was she being unreasonable? Was she projecting her abandonment issues unfairly upon him? Perhaps, but that didn't change the betrayal she felt, as busy as he was it only took a few moments to cross paths and let someone know your thinking about them, if you actually cared about them and missed them, right? True she could have sought him out, but she was a second rate healer, and had already doubted her significance to him. He'd only confirmed that insignificance. Pale moons never once left his form even as he started at the ground, could he not even stand to look at her? Was she so grotesque that the ground was far more pleasing to the eye then her scarred twisted form?
