'How long have I been out here?'
'Where am I?'
These two thoughts wandered through the young two year almost three years old Ethiopian brute. He'd been wandering the desert even since... That incident. Kaoru's face twisted up as if he was in pain. He was in pain, mental pain. The pain of the horrid images of his pack mates and Alphess dying before his eyes. He'd been able to do nothing about their death. Absolutely nothing. He'd called out for help, but no one came. He'd been a coward, but what was he going to do all by himself? Run in recklessly and die too? Would that have been the heroic thing to do? Go down with his pack.
Inhaling sharply, Kaoru released an uneven sigh. He felt so lost now, he had no idea what he was going to do now. He was packless, a wanderer. No, he was still a part of Zahir. Zahir would always live on, even without an alpha. He'd thought about taking over Zahir himself but... What could he do as an alpha? He couldn't even save those he cared about? What kind of Alpha would he be? He was a follower not a leader. He did not belong in the rankings of an Alpha. A beta at the most maybe, but never an alpha. He could rule an entire landmass with a single paw. No, not him. Not Kaoru.
'Alya... Ithyph...' They where both gone, and would never return. He knew that, yet, he couldn't believe it.
A flash of brown passed by the Ethiopian brute, he blinked a couple times and watched a Jackrabbit dash by. He licked his lips, his stomach gave an awful loud growling noise. He could no longer remember how long it had been since he'd eaten anything. His days ran together, weeks became months, and months became years. He didn't even know what day it was. How long it'd been since that incident.
He licked his lips and swallowed the saliva that flowed in his mouth. He watched it, crawl into a hole, probably it's home. Kaoru patted towards the hole and peeked inside. He could see nothing. He growled, he could smell that jackrabbit and it's babies? Hunger took over Kaoru and with his long legs and blunt claws he dug into the hole, making it wider. His claws racked against the poor defenceless rabbit and it's young. The young where easily killed and once the hole was large enough, Kaoru snapped at the hare with his jaws, grabbing old of one leg. It's long back legs kicked at the Ethiopian wolf, but it was not enough pain to make the desert brute release it. He snapped it's leg, and went for it's neck. Snapping it next, and it soon went limp in his mouth.
Kaoru gave himself a few moments to breath. Adrenaline still pumped through his veins. He licked his lips and picked up his kills. He wondered if the dens where still where they where. He hadn't been there since Alya had first became alpha.
Taking his time, the Ethiopian brute, made his way to the location of the dens last he knew. He smiled, glad to see they where still there. Intact, even after the volcano's eruption. Without thinking that anyone might be in there, the Ethiopian brute walked right into the dens. As if they where his own, they where his own. His home. He sighed softly, the cave cooler than the desert sun, he picked a spot inside the dens, and lied down. Dropping his kill beside him, and he became to eat the hares, one by one. Until he was satisfied and full.
Ooc: Avani, and Vee you can continue your RP here. :] I was going to join your thread before I'd read Avani ran off back towards the dens.
