[atrb=background,http://i43.tinypic.com/296dk40.jpg] Sniffing the ground aimlessly, a small trail of saliva dripped from Loop's hungry mouth to the ground. His tongue was only inches from the forest floor when he heard it. It was the small sound of a twig breaking before him. 'I see one. Loop, you ready?' His head jerked up to see a large timber wolf glancing back at him. He gave a single nod and noticed the grey wolf standing off to the right a ways. She nodded too. Grinning he stepped forward to make the triangle they were in a line. Seeing the large buck standing there with a few other deer made his mouth water more. What were the names of the wolves beside him? He couldn't remember any more. Disregarding the thought they moved as a unit to hunt the deer. Weaving in and out of the trees Loop tried to ignore the urge to play a game. Drawing closer and closer to their dinner he could feel the urge become uncontrollable. They picked up speed until eventually the Mexican wolf surged ahead and ran through the deer. Laughing he turned to see the timber wolf glaring at him. 'You idiot! They didn't even notice us until you f***ed it up and ran through them. You didn't even try!' The brute growled at the unknowing Loop as the wind blew the figure away. Gazing around for the grey wolf he realized he was alone again. Sighing he sat in the middle of the clearing where the deer had once stood in his memories. He felt his stomach become angry with him for not knowing the difference between real food and memories. Lowering his body to the ground he rested his head on one of his legs. Closing his eyes for a moment Loop opened them to see a bone laying beside him. Biting it he felt pain shoot through his body. Gnawing on it some more he could feel his stomach calming, but the pain grew sharper. Trying to pick it up from the ground he noticed it wouldn't go far. Biting and yanking harder the pain grew more. Finally letting the bone drop, Loop let out a small yelp of pain. Gazing at the bone he frowned. Was it stuck in the ground? Attempting to gnaw on it again, the brute heard a laugh he knew so well. 'Taste any blood yet?' His eyes looked up but his maw remained firmly planted on the bone. He shook his head at the maned wolf that stood before him. She laughed again... Such a comforting laugh to him. 'Soon you will with the way you're biting it.' Smiling to himself, he knew she was wrong, bones didn't bleed. Then he tasted it. Letting go he stared at the bone as it bled. Blinking he glanced up at the female who had disappeared again, like always. Looking back down at where the bone once sat he saw his wet fur and bleeding leg. Growling at himself he dropped his head on the ground in defeat. Was it getting worse? Words: 518 Muse: ....... Notes: Rawr ^^ this ought to be fun ^^

[dust]

Dust let her rump fall to the ground as her eyes watched the amazing feat unfolding before her. They where alive... something she had never before realised until this movement. Her eyes where trained upon there paths, there slow and timeless movements through the sky. She wondered what the creatures where, these great, fluffy balls of life that sailed so slowly through there domain. She hungered to bite into there soft-appearing flesh and fully understand what they where made of. Yet they where so far away, hanging just out of reach of the paw that had a mind of its own, reaching up above her head and tearing soundlessly at the air before falling to her side once more. The life in the upper domain was far different from the ones below here. The stronger ruled over the smaller, darker clouds consumed the lighter, a fire of darkness that took over the sky. In a ragging sweep of there long-reaching claws. Maybe it was better she was down here among her own kind. How was a wolf to function up there, when the ways of the clouds where unfamiliar to her.

She lowered her silky head and looked instead at the life around her. This was the only place that her physical body could reach. She felt pity rise inside of her as she scented out the rabbit that eased itself along the grass at a gentle pace. It was tied to this earth in a way that she would never have to be chained. It could not understand the way her mind could flitter free of her body and take to the earth around her. No one understood what it was like, how could they? There minds where too closed to this reality and all they could see was what lay right in front of there noses. She lowered herself to the earth, her mind faded from her body, letting instinct rule over her. Moving soundlessly, with an inhuman grace not so alien to the wolf species towards her prey. The rabbit continued to move as it’s carefree pace. So unknowing as to what approached. No care in the world strong enough to turn it to its danger. Not that it mattered, she was giving a blessing to this creature, showing it the way free of the restraints of this life. Closer and closer, until she felt another step and her breath may be upon it. One powerful strike of a forepaw knocked it to the ground. A single bite of the neck to silence it’s struggles and ease it’s pain. Her unrestrained mind felt the spirit of the rabbit rise. The freedom she craved with ever breath of her body was shown before her, and then it vanished.

She was knocked back into her brain, forced to the reality of the life, the taste of blood in her mouth. The flexible sanity she sometimes returned to was the light in her eyes. Her strange orbs that could seem so dull and far away where always the first tell-tale that there was no one inside. When reality snaked it’s way upon her and forced her to this earth the light of life was returned to her. Forced to see the world and remember that she was alone, that even her guardian had left her. There where times... times where this world did not seem so alien to her, but those moments where few and far between.

Through the blood of the rabbit a indistinct scent reached her nostrils. Diluted by this fresher scent of blood, but ever-present all the same. She turned her head in the direction, a different kind of blood reached her. Curious, she turned and moved in the direction that called to her. There he was, this sunken shape of one that was once kin to her. Now he seemed like a wolf no more. Sunken into despair, lack of care rippled through his coat in sad little waves. She moved closer, easily in sight now, sat on her rump once more. The forgot rabbit falling from her maw as she watched the stranger, head titled, curious as to what he had become.

[atrb=background,http://i43.tinypic.com/296dk40.jpg] He smelled it, blood. It was no longer his own but rather one of prey. Oh sweet food! How his stomach rumbled. Dragging his head on the ground under the assumption he was alone he looked for the bleeding creature. Licking his maw, trying to clean his own blood and remove the saliva from his mouth, he stared out in blankness, watching as a group of wolves moved in unison. A pack on one of their hunting trips clearly. He grinned to himself seeing other wolves running by themselves hunting, then the timber... He stopped his running and let the others fade by him. 'Loop! You've got to stop getting distracted! We've already lost the catch! I can't keep baby-sitting you every other second if you want to hunt!' Lifting his head he thumped it back on the ground as a lazy attempt to nod. The easily-angered wolf faded away just like the rest had. Continuing to drag his head he finally saw it standing there. Well rather sitting with her head tilted to the side, a curious expression on her face. The rapid wag returned to Loop's body as he was no longer alone and starving. Was she the one bleeding? Jumping to his feet in a quick motion his tail moved faster in an uneven sway. Applying his normal grin he ran circles around the she wolf with a small limp. He let out a few friendly barks and made a few more circles before finally returning to his spot. He sat quickly as he noticed his throbbing leg was still bleeding. Letting his tongue roll out of his mouth he tilted his head as he watched the grey walk forward, not even seeing her stand, and stop. Looking much younger than she did moments ago she spoke, 'What's your name?' He spoke just as the shape he saw blew away in the wind, "Loop." Still there was the wolf he had seen just before he made the circles. Lowering his head and groaning a slight bit he could feel the pain leave his leg as it moved to his head. It was strange because never before had he felt this sort of pain. He lifted his head and felt the ache in his skull increase. Lowering it quickly he tried to collect his thoughts. None where there. His tail continued to move in it's strange pattern as he shook his head trying to clear it. Maybe it was time for him to become apart of his own memories because his brain was going to explode. Laughing slightly at his very few thoughts his head cleared of the pain. Looking up again he gazed into the youthful she wolf's eyes. They were distant and rather very empty. Grinning he lowered his stomach to the ground and continued his wag. "Not all there are we?" He laughed again as the wind blew the female away to leave her looking older. Growling he frowned slightly. Who was she? Words: 507 Muse: >< Notes: It'll get better as I figure out exactly how he will act ^^
