NOTHING left to say [kayi/lynker/curse/malachi]

SPEECH.

The night was wane and bleak. The trees sagged towards the ground, the stars hid themselves, and even the wind seemed to hold an air of sadness in it. It blew softly and gently, but not steadily. Only the moon seemed to reject this. It hung in the sky, full and radiant. It's brightness gave a pretty, soft glow to the earth beneath. Tonight, it was bigger than usual, seemingly consuming the entire night sky. It held the world in a trance; everything was quiet and still. It was as if the moon spoke silence, and the earth beneath obeyed. Instead of the moon revolving about the earth, the earth revolved around the moon for this one night.

One creature defied this command. He was a creature who's only master was the moon. But the moon was also his very closest friend, and he therefore was allowed this disobedience in order that he might speak with his companion. It would seem, at first glance, almost as though a ghost moved through the silent, drooping trees. The moonlight brightened the white fur so much that it almost looked as if a white glow was alive, instead of a living, breathing mortal. However, upon a second glance, you would immediately notice the ink-dipped tail-tip. After this inspection, you would naturally assume that an angel had been tainted by sin, and had fallen to the broken world beneath it's heavenly seat.

And indeed, you would be correct.

For once, he had been an angel. A protector. A guardian to an albino whose name had become almost a ghost to him. Because she was a ghost. How could he ever live his life? How could he forget? And yet, it seemed, he must. For life moved on without him, as he had recently found out. Why, Syd? Why? Why had his aunt deserted her family? Hadn't she cared enough to try and find her nieces and nephews? I thought you loved us... He knew she did. There had to be an explanation. Severus simply hadn't known that explanation. Luckily for himself, he had starved himself to the perfect extent to perform his hunt to the best of his ability. Also lucky was his ability, despite his young age, to hide from his problems and shock in general. He usually did this in the form of solving others' problems, but had managed to pull it off by distraction of the hunt for the Ultoris Alpha. However, tonight he couldn't escape his thoughts anymore.

He had wandered back unconsciously to the last spot he had seen another soul. Maybe he unconsciously actually wanted to run into the kind male whom he had seen only three days prior. What had been his name again? It had begun with a 'K', he remembered that because of his own name and his father's. Kujo. That was it. The male was Kaze's own age, and only a few inches taller, though he definitely carried more weight. Kaze was strong, but he couldn't keep much weight on because of his Iranian blood, which ran dominant through his body. His practices to keep his hunting instincts and abilities high didn't help either. Still, he hoped to see the young white male. He wandered aimlessly through the forest, his belly still quite satisfied from his hunt the previous day.

Sighing quietly, his movement halted. Immediately, he regretted it.

One moment's stillness. That's all it ever took.

NO. NO. NO! ANGEL!

Noise pounded on Kaze's eardrums, so loud that he screamed aloud himself in hysterical pain. Tears welled up in his eyes, as he watched once more, in slow-motion, his mother being torn apart by a massive bear. He felt as if he could hear each individual tear of her skin, and could feel every tooth that sunk into her flesh. He could hear every pitch-fall of her scream, and he could feel his father's absolute terror. Terror. Panic. Disbelief. Anguish. Rage. Hate. And then he attacked his mate's murderer. Kaze could feel the blood running through his father's veins as if they were his own. Power. Strength. The large male's eyesight became consumed in red, and the only beast that was in his focus was the bear. The only beast that was in Kaze's focus was his father. He watched, rooted to the spot, watching his father murdered by the same beast that had murdered his mother.

Kaze's body trembled and shook with agony. Weakness washed over him like a tidal wave as he fought to master the disease that plagued his mind. Shrieks filled his mind to overflowing until his own voice mimicked them. Pleas for help, cries of pain, and shrieks of torture as one can only experience by watching your true love lose their life in a gruesome way. Kaze's incredible strength failed him under the pressure of his mind, and his body crashed to the earth dramatically. He dug his claws into the earth, legs sprawled and swinging frantically. He gripped any nearby plant between his teeth, desperately trying to regain the physical world. He almost became completely consumed when he heard something that he had never befoer heard, not even when he had actually experienced the event.

KIZZY!!!

It was a wail that immediately brought him out of his panic. He recognized the voice immediately. He stumbled to his feet, head spinning around him. The earth grew closer to him, and fell away, and came closer and fell away again. He began to run about wildly, searching for the source of the voice. It couldn't be. It just couldn't. No. No.

Mother?

He could only think the word, still caught in a schizophrenic strain. He was completely unaware that he hadn't actually called for her. But his muscles were still reacting from memory from his episode, and he only managed to get a few yards away before he crashed to the earth again. His shoulder slammed into the ground roughly, and pain filled his leg. He ignored this, however, as the tears continued to well and overflow faster than his heightened heartbeat could pump his blood through his body. He lay like this until he was finally able to slow his hearbeat and breathing, and calm his aching heart. He was glad he was away from his pack now. Had Severus seen that, he would have felt as if he was only a packmate by association with his aunt. His aunt had mated with the previous Ultoris alpha, Fury, who was Severus' best friend. According to his Alpha, they had both disappeared shortly after Osani had been defeated. No word, and no warning. Sydas, who was heavily pregnant, and Fury had deserted their friends and family and went to who knows where. Was Ultoris not suitable enough for them to raise their pups? No. He had to believe that there was some crisis that they had had to respond to immediately. And they must have been injured or captured along the way or something. It was these returning thoughts that calmed his nervous mind.

Suddenly, ivory ears swiveled. Kaze raised his eyes wearily, and finally regained his paws. He was still weak, but able to stand and appear as if he was not. Flattening his ears, he peered in the direction of the approach, readying himself for anything.

ooc longest post since my return<3 I dunno if the quality is that great though >< I feel like I rambled on too much. It's decent for an opener though, I suppose. Anyways...super excited for this thread! (: Hurry, Nam<3

[Deleted]

The night was cold. 

The stars were blinking above of her head, and the moon stood vigilant on the dark, cerulean firmament. There was something about the stars that made Kayi extremely melancholic; the night was something of a silent ode to her struggles. The stars were always teaching her lessons--they always seemed to represent the small hope she still had. Even if the stars were distant up in the heavens, they were still bright, pulsating with life... still shining through the darkness. The clouds, for a moment, seemed to halt to a sudden stop, even if they were moving--everything was still, not moving, as if time had stopped for that one night. Pink and crimson eyes scanned the night as she slept in the dens of her new pack, Kairos. She had no idea how hard it was going to be for her; these wolves were huge, intimidating and they were all but kind. But she knew that she had to be stronger, for herself, and for Kaze. She knew he'd be proud of her for overcoming her struggles one day. That is... if he was... alive.

Memories.

Memories of what could have been began to flood her thoughts... Kayi began to feel tears forming in her eyes as she imagined how life would have been with her parents by her side. They would see her grow, develop into a better, much confident wolf; her mother would be there for her, guiding her over her first crush and her first mistakes; her father would always bring her comfort when she needed him the most, being a strong pillar in her life, a beautiful tower to find refuge in. She wanted them to see her future pups, she wanted them to be there for every important moment of her life. And they would not be there. Even if she tried to bring them back through her memories, they weren't there. Her mother, Inaya, was not there. She could not feel her soft fur, her soft embrace, her beautiful grey eyes, her undying love for her and her siblings. Her father was gone--his beautiful blue eyes, his stunning white fur, his strength and valor, his wise words, and his soft kisses when she needed them the most were gone. Everything, absolutely everything was gone. And it was because of that monster, that demon that destroyed her life and everything she held dear. If she were as strong as Goliath, she would have killed that monster.

But... even if she killed it, it would not bring them back.

Tears began to flow freely from her eyes as a waterfall, falling on her front legs. She was laying down, head rested comfortably on her legs, trying to hide her tears from her surrounding pack mates. Her crying slowly became more and more uncontrollable, and so did her whines and whimpers. She decided to lift herself--although inevitably weak and unwilling--to go and find that place in which she saw her family the last time. She needed closure, some sort of way for her to try and move on, and even if it was going to be impossible, she could try. Like Goliath said, that fear would always be with her until she let go of her weaknesses and laments. Lifting her body and leaving silently, she began to set her way from the beautiful paradise known as Ina'mos, to the mainland of Anikira.

Hours passed and she found herself surrounded by a beautiful forest. Different kinds of trees surrounded the area around her, like pines, oaks and even maple trees. It was a beautiful scenery, but it did not matter to Kayi. Everything was worthless without her family, and so was her life. Her eyes, however, quickly directed their attention to a flying green light. Fireflies. Lifting her head to inspect it, she tilted her head and observed how slowly, one by one, hundreds of fireflies began to light up the night. Smiling softly, she admired the view for a few moments. Some of the flying, glowing bugs made their way through the forest, making Kayi want to follow them. Walking with her head low, and making her way throughout the forest, she saw a distant, white silhouette, alone in the midst of the woods. At first, she lowered her body and flattened her ears, terrified of the idea that maybe the stranger was dangerous. Sniffing the air, Kayi's heart skipped a beat when she recognized the scent. No. No. It couldn't be. 

No.

It was not him. This is a dream. It is only a dream.

Kaze?

KAZE?

Was it real? Was it a cruel nightmare? Was this even happening right now? No. He was dead. Maybe she was having a horrible nightmare. Maybe she was back at Ina'mos, and maybe all she had to do was wake up. But... what if it wasn't a nightmare? What if... he was real? Her legs began to tremble, her heart beating as if she had ran for miles to no end. Her stomach began to feel like if it was turning inside of her body; trembling, her legs took her closer to the stranger. "Kaz..." she hesitated; her jaw was clenched and tight, not allowing her to speak properly. "Kaze? Is... that you?"

Or was it a dream? Whatever it was...
She really hoped it was real.

I'm so excited for this thread. It broke my heart when I wrote the Inaya and Kismet part. ;w; <3

SPEECH.

Kaze stood, limbs slowly gaining back their dangerous strength as what had caught his ivory ears' attention slowly approached. A quiet, warning growl emitted from his throat. This creature was moving too slowly, almost as if it was stalking him. He didn't like it. His misty grey-blue eyes searched the forest around him until a white form slowly moved into his sights. This wolf was a little taller and fuller than him, but was female. It made him uneasy, but his natural chivalrous manor, inherited from his father, no doubt, would not allow him to be anything but a gentleman upon his discovery of the approaching wolf's gender. As she neared, hope and disbelief blossomed in her pink eyes. Pink? Confused for a moment by the color of her eyes, Kaze's body relaxed into a more comfortable position. He became more friendly, and less attack-ready. His eyes were drawn to her tongue as she opened her jowls and to her pink paw-pads as she lifted her ivory paws. Both were pink as well. So she was an albino.

Completely unable to control himself, his heart sunk deep in his chest, and a tear formed in each eye. His eyes became more grey than blue until you couldn't have seen the blue without standing right next to him. My little Snowflake... His father had used to call her that. His sister, and best friend, Kayi. She had been the only albino he had ever known. Almost immediately he was drawn to the female who insisted on drawing closer to him. She was lovely--lovelier than any he had seen before. Maybe it was the season. Almost without thinking, he wanted to find the femme's name, and learn more about her. Maybe he could convince her to love him one day? Maybe, if he just had an albino always with him, his broken mind could be healed one day. And then, she spoke. Her voice was like lovely bells, chiming in the sweetest chorus. It reminded him of his mother's voice.

Kaz...

As if her throat were closed up, she hesitated, and tried again.

Kaze? Is that...you?

Kaze? Kaze! KAZE!

A whine escaped his throat as he was thrown into another episode by the nickname.

xx

Pound, pound, pound. Kaze? Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle. A shriek echoed through the atmosphere. Blood. Red. Shrieks, screams, cacophonous sounds; they all echoed about the young runt. Mama? MAMMA! A flash of white. Ripping, slashing, growling, howling; would it ever end? DADDY! NO! A bell-like voice was the only one he could hear and it reverberated about his skull, but in this one most-important moment, his courage failed him. Why could he not be more like Malachi? WHY? Oh sure, he always played up to being the biggest, simply because he was the firstborn, but he was also the runt, and Malachi, his youngest sibling, had always been deserving of the firstborn rank. Oh, he would've done much better as the baby.

xx

Why couldn't I protect her in that one moment? Why didn't I shout at her to follow me? At least if she would've followed me to safety, I could have lived with myself. How can I? These were his thoughts as his episode slowly faded away. When it had, his tears stopped, though his eyes remained far more grey than blue. What happened? He blinked several times, unable to remember what had triggered his mini-sode, or if the female had said anything. But her eyes had gone from mostly hopeful to mostly disbelieving and sad. Confusion swarmed in his eyes, masking his depression and the absolute emptiness he felt inside at her appearance. For no recognition had taken place within the male. His schizophrenia had blocked it completely. Only in his subconscious did he recognize his sister, and that subconscious was heavily pushed down. Clearing his throat awkwardly, his eyes fell to his paws for a moment. How much time had passed? Had she given her name or asked for his? Had she been waiting for a response? For how long?

Forgive my silence, m'lady, he began unsurely. I am dubbed Kamikaze. May I ask the fair lady's name?

Somehow, he managed a much smoother cadence than was usual for him. He was awkward socially, as he had spent the last half of his life in complete solitude. Maybe the meeting with Kujo, and likewise with his alpha, Severus, had already improved him. Or, more likely, he was trying his very hardest to impress the snowy princess in front of him, and was grasping at his childhood for lessons learned from his mother on proper social behaviors. He was nervous, as he had just had an episode in front of this she-wolf, and she was most likely turned off by it. Nevertheless, he forced himself to meet her eyes once more, and he was able to pull off the smallest hint of a smile.

ooc Not bad c: not as long as my opener but better quality, I feel like<3 I am too, Nam! 8) (now I promise I'll go reply to poor kujo >< ) reply soon! :x Maybe after my next reply, Jay can have Lynker && Curse enter? I want Kaze to recognize Kayi first, but he had to have an episode at the nickname, because pretty much anything of that time (ei a bear, the nickname, a few certain fighting and/or hunting techniques, a special herb maybe, etc) can set him off xD sooooo....that caused him to be like "what happened?" and yeah. Tell me if I powerplayed her too much when I made her become sad instead of hopeful :x I can fix it!! I just assumed she would after no response from him (other than his whimpering and crying and shaking of his head/trembling because of his episode). Anyway, I'll shut up now lol

[Deleted]

Bewildered eyes stared and the snowy male, frantically searching for any signs of recognition from him. She knew he was Kamikaze. She knew it was him, even if for some reason, the male in front of her stood quiet, making Kayi desperate. "Brother... brother, it's me, Kayi." She thought over and over, trying to wake up from this horrible nightmare. Her body was tense and it began to quiver; her eyes threatened to fill with crystalline tears, and her ears were flattened against her skull. She didn't know whether to be happy or to be worried. Her maw opened, slowly, hesitantly, fearing to find out that this male was not her brother... But, before speaking, the male spoke first, stopping Kayi at mid-breath. "Forgive my silence, m'lady, I am dubbed Kamikaze. May I ask the fair lady's name?" His voice was beautiful, just like she remembered it, but much more masculine. A small, almost faint smile appeared in her lips even if it quickly disappeared. She didn't want to get her hopes up just yet... maybe she was just dreaming and she was back in Ina'mos.

A sting ran across her heart, making her flinch at the bittersweet statement. It was as if he didn't remember her. She had to do something about it; she had to let him know it was his little sister, Kayi. "Kaze, it's me. It's Kayi." Her voice spoke, almost breaking as she continued, "I knew you were alive. I knew it..." Her voice was raspy, and her eyes were fully locked on the eyes of her brother. Her heart was beating wildly, almost escaping from her chest. Kayi's jaw was still clenched; she felt like she wanted to faint, but the hope that was beating in her heart became stronger than her physical struggles. Still trembling in agonizing anticipation, she hoped that the wolf in front of her was really her Kaze.

@kamikaze Crappy. ;w; ah well. I tried. Mom almost didn't let me reply, constantly telling me to do homework.

[Deleted]

SPEECH.

Kaze stood still, trying to think of anything other than the wolf's absolute beauty in front of him. He was also trying very hard to mask his surprise at his own smooth words. How had he managed such dialogue? Not one sentence, but two! And they were the smoothest, most coherent sentences he had ever spoken. A small, faint smile elicited her lips, and it sent shivers down his spine. His own lips pulled up slightly higher, so that he actually wore a warm smile, rather than a shy one. Suddenly, just as quickly as it had appeared, her smile vanished. A sting shot through the male's heart. Had his own eager smile put her off? What was troubling this young female? For he could see in her eyes that something troubled her deeply. Hope and despair mingled in her eyes. Sometimes hope shone out more, and then it would recede and despair would reappear strongly. She flinched belatedly at his words. A moment later, her beautiful cadence reached his snowy audits once more.

Kaze, it's me. It's Kayi.

Kaze's eyes stared at her for a moment, unblinking. He was frozen. Absolutely frozen. Her eyes seemed to plead with him. Her voice almost broke as she announced that she had always known that he had survived. She sounded as though she were trying to convince herself just as much as she was trying to convince him. Kaze remained frozen. Images poured into his mind. Kayi tumbling around with him when they were but pups. Himself walking her home, or taking her to observe wildlife, find herbs, go visit their aunt and uncle. Endless images and scenes; memories.

All at once, his snowy ears--which had been standing erect, almost leaning towards the she-wolf--flattened to his skull. Tears filled his orbs so fast that in one moment, the she-wolf was in the best of focus, and in the next, she had become a white blur. His eyes which had been a stormy grey not five seconds ago, bathed in blue. The misty blue that usually remained in the background swam forward to capture his eyes entirely. He took one step forward, trying to force the tears back so that he could get another good look at her. It couldn't be. He could still remember her bell-like voice screaming his name as he ran from the scene. He had failed her. Could she have survived? Could she be alive?

K-kayi? Is....is that you? How...

His voice faded, all smoothness and coherency gone. Though, for the first time since the tragedy, his mind was completely still. Totally silent. No voices cried, screamed, whispered, blamed, laughed, mocked, or tormented him. The only thoughts in his mind were, Could she be alive? and How could she be alive? Kamikaze's mouth opened slightly. The tears pooled again and his ears tightened to his skull.

How did you survive?

The question hung between them heavily, but the male continued before his sister could answer him.

I heard you....heard you scream my name. I thought...I thought he had got you,

His voice broke with the last four words that were uttered. He waited, straining his muscles to keep him back from her. On one hand, he wanted to rush forwards and inhale her, just to make sure that it was really her. On the other, he fought to keep himself from doing just that, simply because he wanted an answer first. He couldn't explain this battle, or his own desperate need for an answer from her. All he knew was that he needed that answer.

He stood like this, muscles obviously bunched up. Looking at him from the outside, you would see his strong muscles outside of his snowy fur, and the veins that ran along the skinnier parts of his legs would be plainly visible. He put all his weight into his muscles, which weighed down his paws, in an attempt to keep them from bounding forwards. Even his tail became rigid with the effort.

But alas, he was only able to keep this up for ten, maybe fifteen minutes before the psychological strain won out. Without the ability to control himself, he flung himself forward onto his sister. His nose flared wildly as he inhaled her scent. He flung his head about her neck, in a wolf-like hug. She had grown. She was larger and fuller than him, and yet he still imagined himself able to protect her. Maybe he had gained a little more courage. He hoped that he wouldn't have to be tested too soon, but quite honestly, that was the last thing on his mind. As his mind filled with her sweet scent, good memories flooded his mind, and for the first time in his adult life, a genuine smile spread across his lips. His heart raced. He felt happy. He hadn't felt happy since that fateful day, when his mother was teaching them about herbs.

One thing about her scent bothered him, but he tried to ignore it. That very thing was the very strong scent of a powerful male. It hadn't fully become one with her personal scent that would always identify her as Kayi, but it lingered on the edges. Kamikaze, however, pushed this aside in his mind. He could ask her about it later. Why should he ruin this one perfect moment?

And that was all it would be.

One perfect moment.

[Deleted]

Kayi saw how her brother froze in his place. His body was tense, his tail was now still, and his face seemed to scream disbelief. Her ears were locked on him, searching any type of movement, any sign, any hope that he recognized her. She wanted to run to him, to embrace and inhale his aroma, and to tell him that she loved him and that she missed him dearly. But she fought back the feelings before doing anything out of impulse. Her eyes were cloudy, filled with tears that threatened to fall from her pink and crimson eyes. Blinking a few time, they escaped, falling freely like a crystalline waterfall, staining her fur and falling to the soft grass. His broken voice made her tremble in anticipation, her ears moving backwards at his question.

K-kayi? Is....is that you? How... How did you survive? I heard you....heard you scream my name. I thought...I thought he had got you,

Kayi broke out crying, her legs taking her step by step towards her stunned brother. "I-I ran away as fast as I could. I... I screamed your name because..." Her head suddenly lowered and her voice broke in pieces, yet she tried to hold on to fully explain herself. "...because I thought he had got you too." Tears kept flowing freely from her eyes, every small step taking her closer to Kamikaze. After a few minutes, she felt the force of impact of her brother, clashing against her in a deep, beautiful, warm embrace that she craved so much since that fateful day that changed their lives. Kayi burred her face into his neck fur, inhaling deeply, then licking him softly. Her heart was aching so much... The happiness was too much for her to bare, making her chest ache and her legs feel weak. 

She couldn't believe that this was happening. She thought that she was alone in the world, and that only she had survived. And now, she was embracing her brother, her Kaze, her everything. She was happy, after so long, she was so happy that it even hurt. She was thankful that he was alive... he had grown, and she was proud of him. Her cry was loud, deep, and she even wanted to throw up at the intensity. But she didn't care. This moment deserved to be cherished, to be treasured, just in case he disappeared again from her life. Her eyes were so clouded that she couldn't even see him well, but she did not care at all. Her tail wagged uncontrollably, moving to all directions, like a puppy does when it sees a loved one.

Moving away from her brother, she stepped back a few steps and looked at him directly to his eyes; blissfully smiling, her ears relaxed, she felt the adrenaline rush slowly recede. "I love you, Kaze, and I missed you so, so much."

[Lynker]

Lynker ambled alongside his best friend, who just so happened to be a massive shaggy brown bear. This made the arctic runt look positively miniscule, although he was certainly used to their size difference by now and didn’t consider his height to be a disadvantage.

The pair were currently out wandering the Zaor Forest in order to get a change in scenery from their regular territory down by Nyspoli’s Pool. The place had not changed much since Lynker and Curse had last been here; the trees were equally as dark and brooding, although to be honest all places would look eerie under the pale moonlight which outlined the forest.

The faint sound of canine voices up ahead soon caught the great bear’s interest, and he swung his head towards the noise. “Hey Lynx, sounds like there’s some wolves up there... Wanna check it out?” His dark companion glared warily in the direction Curse had indicated, but eventually nodded. Several years ago, Lynker would have chosen to steer well clear of his own species, much preferring the superior company of bears. The only exception to that rule was when a wolf trespassed upon his territory, in which case Lynker and his friends strove to drive the intruder away as quickly and efficiently as possible.

But these days, having spent some time within the ranks of Amar and then Zakur, both he and Curse had learned to appreciate canine company a little. Once those packs had disbanded, the pair had been initially satisfied at being able to return to their solitary lifestyle, but had started to find things a little lonely lately now that the Oriens had quietened down. The only wolves around now were wandering vagabonds, who were typically of the aggressive variety, so decent conversation was limited to the small group of companions which Lynker had accumulated over the years.

Through the trees they approached two white wolves, opposite in colour to Lynker’s own pitch black coat. At the sight of them, Curse charged forwards with a playful grin on his face, leaving the smaller wolf in his wake as he went to greet the strangers. “Cursed Moon. Who are you?” He rumbled in his gruff timbre, and swung his topaz gaze from one to the other as he waited for them to answer the question.

SPEECH.

He couldn't believe his ears, nor his eyes. His sister slowly began to move towards him after he spoke, broke lay explaining what had happened. Tears welled up in his eyes so quickly that she became a blur. I screamed your name because......because I thought he had gotten you, too. Kaze's throat closed up at this profession, and it was in this moment that he had thrown himself against her. The sound of her sobbing broke his heart. His heart melted in a moment as she buried her face in his neck and licked him softly. He wanted to crumple to the ground. Her tail was wagging uncontrollably, but Kaze's was still. He was simply too lost in emotion to really move. He could hardly stand. He had buried his face into her shoulder, and tried to choke back his own sobbing. He sobbed not only for her return, but afresh for his betrayal. For that was how he viewed it: a betrayal. He had left her vulnerable in the worst of situations. And hadn't even had the guts to go back and look for her. He had simply hidden.....for days. He didn't know how he could ever forgive himself. But he rested in the knowledge that she had somehow made it. He inhaled her scent repetitively, until it was the only thing that filled his senses. He didn't even mind that it had a faint trace of several other wolves in it--mostly male. A calm seized his heart. He felt like collapsing. He was entirely exhausted. Finding his sister was like putting a massive bandage on his heart. When Kayi pulled away, a whine automatically emitted from his maw. His ears fell flat to his skull, and he tried to blink the tears away. She looked into his eyes, and her pink eyes were the most beautiful....and her smile: it was heavenly.

I love you, Kaze. And I missed you so, so much.

Kaze opened his mouth, and his voice broke upon only the very first word he uttered.

Kayi....I love you too,

He couldn't even explain how he had missed her. There were no words that could sufficiently describe or make her understand the torture he had lived his entire life. The male could hardly stand the distance anymore, and was about to press himself into his sister again when, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a massive brown form moving towards them. In half a second, he had turned so that his body was in front of Kayi. A savage growl erupted from his throat as he bared his teeth. As he turned, the creature pounding towards them became clear: a bear. Kamikaze strove very hard to maintain his physical eyesight, as his mind pulled him down to the pit to watch his parents die again and again. Shaking his head violently, he stepped backwards, until he could feel his sister against him.

Halt, bear, unless you want to lose your life! You may have murdered my parents, but you're going to stay the hell away from my sister.

Kaze's voice had hit a dangerous note. His growl never ended, but only rose in volume as the bear got closer and closer. Quickly, he readied himself, bunching his muscles and trying to focus on tactics. The bear finally stopped, and kept looking between the two. Had he said something? Kaze hadn't heard him in his sudden reaction, and then his threat. The bear's eyes were topaz, which struck violently different from the bear in Kaze's mind that was fighting to take over, but the male didn't notice right away. He was much more focused on the bear's body, rather than the color of his eyes. As he readied himself, he watched the bear closely, and prepared for him to strike out. Kamikaze would protect his sister this time: even to the death. His blue-grey eyes narrowed dangerously, all the blue being choked out in his fury.

The magical embrace that had happened between the two siblings had been something out of this world. Kaze was like if he was in pure shock, and Kayi was radiating pure happiness and bliss. Sniffing his fur again, feeling his soft embrace was everything she craved after that horrible day. She suddenly didn't feel so alone. She felt safe once more. She was much bigger than he was, so she felt a huge need to protect him instead. After he said that he loved her too, she felt complete. Kayi was complete, as if a missing puzzle piece was added to the puzzle of her heart. There were still a few pieces missing, sure, like her sister Adeline and her brother Malachi... and there were two pieces that were never coming back, but... the puzzle became clearer when Kaze appeared into her life once more.

Just when she was going to embrace him once more, a sound came from behind them, making Kayi look to its direction, only to find a...

...bear.

"MOM! DAD!" 
"RUN, KAYI!"
"MOM!"

Screams... breaking.... shredding...

Blood.

Her jaw clenched, her legs began to tremble and shake, and her body stood impossibly still. She was glued to the ground, her claws etched deep into the grass and dirt below them. Her tail tucked automatically beneath her legs, and her ears drew backwards completely. Her eyes were open widely, tears flowing from them as the image of the bear became blurred. She could hear Kaze talking, facing the bear in front of her, but her vision was unreliable right now. Her hearing became distorted, hearing only distant echoes of the voices that surrounded her. Kayi's breathing became uneven, and soon she found herself hyperventilating, feeling dizzy. She tumbled side to side, and a huge nauseous feeling invaded her, making her spill the contents of her stomach to the ground. Coughing and yelping, Kayi began to see how the world around her became darker and darker, until the feeling of weightlessness overcame her, sending her into shock. Falling down to her side, she let the darkness consume her vision, until exhaustion gripped her mind and soul...

The huge bear jumped in fright at the growl that erupted from the jaws of the little male wolf. The voice which responded to Curse’s innocent question was anything but friendly, rough and violent as it accused the bear of murder and of attempting to hurt his sister. “What? I didn’t… I would never.” Curse stood stock still in bewilderment, amber eyes darting back and forth between the two wolves.

Seeing the trouble his adoptive brother had caused up ahead, Lynker rushed forwards so that he stood in front of Curse in the hopes of preventing the impending fight from breaking out. “What in the name of Shem is going on here?!” He stared at the two agitated wolves then turned to glare at Curse. The bear scuffed his paws on the ground but shook his head emphatically. “Lynx, I swear I didn’t do anything! I only asked for their names!”

Lynker’s attention snapped back to the two strangers as another yelp rang out. The she wolf was having some sort of spasm, the likes of which Lynker had never seen before. She was shaking and crying, and she had even thrown up on the forest floor. The six year old loner had met some pretty deranged wolves in his time, but none who had reacted quite this strongly to him or his best friend. Certainly he was aware that the massive brown bear imposed a formidable presence, but the fact that such a gentle hearted beast could provoke such a reaction was astounding.

And then the pale girl toppled over onto her side, appearing to have fallen unconscious. “Woah… is she alright?” Lynker took a few steps forward, but remembering the other wolf’s aggressive stance thought better of it. He didn’t want to upset these two more than they already were by intruding into their personal space. “Look, wolf, I… I’m sorry about my brother. He doesn’t mean any harm… really.” The inky black brute tried to explain, though he wasn’t sure whether his words would be getting through to either of them.

SPEECH.

Kaze felt his sister suddenly tremble behind him. Her body began shaking and convulsing. So this was how she had been affected? Trembles and seizures? It made the male sick to his very core. He was lucky. He would rather be lost in his mind, with voices screaming at him, than to lose control of his physical body. The female behind him began hyperventilating, which was quickly followed by her vomiting all over the grassy forest floor. Kaze wanted to look back at her and make sure that she was okay, but he couldn't tear his eyes away from the bear that stood a mere few feet away. It took all of his focus to remain in reality. He heard his sister coughing and yelping behind him, and her body shook harder and harder until her body left his touch. Panic overwhelmed him suddenly, and he stepped back another step until he could feel her body again. The episode suddenly rose to a pitch that was unignorable. He could hear the bear saying something distantly, but he couldn't focus enough to pick up on the actual words. Something black dashed forwards, standing next to the massive bear. The two seemed to have a conversation of sorts, and that's when Kaze recognized the wolfish form of the black creature. Why would a wolf be in such close proximity to this bear? Didn't he realize that he was a murderer?

Kaze's vision became blurred as the visions grew stronger and stronger. It was only distantly that he could see the bear now. Growling at his own self, he shook his head violently, trying to contain the episode.

No, I have to stay here. Stay. Protect Kayi. Oh yeah, you think you can protect her, don't you? I can! Ha! Did you protect her when your parents were murdered? No! You ran away. No! No. No....

The male was unaware that the conversation with the voices in his head was actually verbal. He was so far into his alternate reality that he thought it was simply in his head. It usually was in his head. The added stress of trying to protect his sister made him half-in and half-out of actual reality this time, and any and every thought that passed through his brain was spoken verbally.

Kayi! Kayi! KAYI!

The shrieks built in volume, and his head was lowered, muscles bunched, eyes half-closed. He fought to stay in reality. He had flashes of the black wolf and the big, brown bear. The bear wore a confused, concerned expression one moment, and a vicious snarl the next. The black wolf took one step forwards, concern plainly written on his face. And then he turned into a beautiful white wolf, broken between big, bloody, brown jaws. It was all in flashes.

No.......Daddy...Momma....NO!

He was reduced to sobs as he watched the bear murder his mother first and then his father. His father fought so valiantly. His mother only had one word for her pups: Run! before the light left her grey eyes forever. Kaze shook his head over and over, trying to clear his vision. But it only worked for mere seconds. A vicious snarl rose loudly in his throat and was thrown into the air. He was completely blinded by fury, hurt, and pain as he watched the bear break his father's body painfully. His father survived for such a long time. Every single movement was excruciating pain, but still he fought on to save his pups. Kamikaze's muscled bunched violently and then released in agonizing pain. Suddenly, his vision cleared for half a second, and he leapt towards the bear in front of him blindly. All he could see was an evil smile and bloody jaws. He was unaware of which bear he was attacking, but his psyche screamed at him to protect his sister. He was a pup again, reliving the nightmare, and this time he fought himself. In reality, he had leapt towards poor Curse, but whether or not his aim were true--and he had landed himself on the bear or not--was yet to be discovered. His vision was so blinded that he could have been attacking the black wolf, or a mere bush. All he knew was that as soon as he felt warm skin, he would sink his teeth in deeply, and tear away.

ooc Woah omg xD this is Kaze's like...worst episode everr. You can hop in whenever it strikes your fancy now, Nymph! Go for it! 8D I'm excited to see some Malachi action! Jay: I left it totally open for you. If you wanted there to be a fight, you can powerplay Kaze's attack a little, if not, you can powerplay his epic fail. (: Whatever you want<3

[Malachi]

Alone. Like he always was. Did his existence have any meaning at all? Surely it wasn't to protect. He obviously failed that. His stormy eyes closed as his mind replayed the cries of his family's deaths. Trying to fight alongside his father, getting tangled that bush and then finally breaking down and running away. Hiding for who know how long.....returning to see the torn bodied of his parents.....he should have never gone back. The lifeless eyes of his parents haunted his thoughts nearly constantly.

His siblings dragged away and destroyed. And he was doomed to be alone. Yes it was a struggle to fit in with them but he would rather spend his life trying than having no one.

Scents of others wafted to his nose, but he had no intention of investigating them. Why bother? They were near, all he wanted was to pass through without catching their attention. Talking was a waste of time and if by some miracle they learned of his tragedy, all that could be done was offer condolences. A useless thing in all reality.

But his mind was changed for him when the sounds of panic and fear filled his ears, the breeze bringing the scents anew to him. Scents drenched in fear. Pushed forward by his instinct to protect, as well as his honed fighting skills, carried him towards the melee. A bear! His heart pounded and his hackles rose. Was it back to destroy another family? 

The deep growl of a baritone voice ripped through the air as he took in the scene. A little female was down on the ground, injured? No, there was no scent of blood but vomit. The male was launching himself at the bear, brave but with his small size would surely not be in his favor. Another wolf was there, but he didn't seem to be against the bear....but with him.......what twisted situation was he going to throw himself in?

OOC: boom!!!

The world was still dark, but it wasn't so silent anymore. 

She could feel distant echoes of voices and growls, and a new one that for a moment, seemed familiar. She felt numb, and her body was completely immobile. She had no idea what was going on around her, but the feeling of weightlessness was overwhelming her, making her feel like she didn't want to wake up. But the voices soon became clearer, and a little bit louder. Her eyes didn't want to open, but they instinctively did. Everything seemed blurry and confusing. As she kept blinking, everything got clearer and clearer until she saw the bear and two new wolves, one black and one grey with white. Her head bobbed back and forth as she lifted it from the ground, her weakened state only beginning to fade away now. She tried to lift herself a little bit, but she was too weak. She then looked at the scene, her eyes got wide open--another wolf was defending the bear, and it took Kayi by surprise. She was incredibly and utterly confused.

"Wha... what's going on?" She asked, perplexed at the reality that surrounded her. But all of her senses woke up when she saw the grey wolf more closely and caught his scent. It... it was... no. He couldn't be alive. That was impossible. Her heart suddenly fluttered with joy, but it was a bittersweet moment, because he was in danger too. "M... Mal? Malachi?" She asked, trying to stand up but her weakened body was thinking against moving. But then she saw the bear, and it was just as confused as she was, and that made her question the situation even more. "Wait, Kaze!" she exclaimed, but her brother had already attempted to attack the bear. She was beginning to doubt that this was the bear that had killed their family, especially if another wolf was calling him his "brother." She was terrified, sure, but she wanted to get to the bottom of things. Trembling, she feared the worst but hoped for the best of the situation...
