Ghost

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She cocked her head from side to side, trying to catch any sounds the might come her way. Her nose rose into the air, catching the scent of many other wolves. Well, not really many, nothing could beat how many loners there were out there and she guessed that this was the reason she was here. Not just because she didn’t feel safe, but because she wasn’t like the others. Ghost wasn’t a villain and that was how she viewed some of the loners in this world. Some of them fought with each other just because they wanted more food for themselves, it wasn’t like most of them could take down big enough pray to make a huge difference in how much any of them ate. Ghost sighed and turned her gaze this way and that. Nothing exciting here, but she needed to make her presence known to all those that lived here, especially the alpha. She didn’t need to get her throat ripped out just yet anyways. Large paws carried her further and further into these lands until she hit the shoreline to a lake. Glancing down, Ghost saw her own reflection and for a moment was surprised. Well, for one, she was coated in a layer of mud and dirt. It was disgusting and she was quick to roll in the water, bringing out that startlingly white coat.

Rising from the water, the female shook herself off, sending a spray of water around her and becoming quite amused with herself. She was quick to wipe away the smirk that had bloomed on her features. Turning her head to the sky, she left out a soft melody. A call as it was, summoning the leader of these lands to her, for she had a request to make. Boredom set in soon after and well, there was nothing to do, but sit there and stare out at the vastness of the lake before her. Dipping a paw into the water, she swirled it around, trying to amuse herself in some small way, but that wasn’t going as she had planned and soon she flopped down upon the damp Earth and sat there, staring out at the mirror like surface. She could just see the tip of her nose in the water if she tilted her head ever so slightly to the side. Tail all a-wag, she wiggled forward until she could see her whole muzzle. The close she got to the edge the more she tried to keep her paws out of it, but that didn’t work.

Splash! Right into the water, face first. Ghost came up with a yelp and dodge out of the water, turning around to growl at it in an almost playful way. Teeth bared, a low chuckle came out of her mouth and soon she was belting out her laughter. She lay on the ground and laughed until her sides hurt. Well, this was a good way to come into a territory, laughing and looking as though she’d completely lost her mind. Heaving in breath after breath, Ghost inched towards the waters, dropping her muzzle into it and lapping it up in quick thirsty gulps. Tail wagging lightly behind her; Ghost decided she was going to have herself some fun while she waited. Inching into the water, she walked a silently as she could towards a small group of young fish. Her silent walking turned out to be monstrous stomps and soon she was chasing the fish within the shallows. She didn’t go far from her spot though and those fish weren’t staying in the shallows, so when she hit water much deeper than her outstanding height could withhold you can imagine what happened.

Under the water she went and up she came moments later to swim back to the shallows and growl at the fish. “Get back here!” A warm voice, like hot milk and honey snapped out at the well gone fish. Her tail was arched high and her lips were peeled back from stained ivories. Claws dug into the ground, keeping her in her place rather and swimming out and after the fish. No, doing that would be foolish and more than a little stupid seeing as she was a land fairing creature and even if she could swim, it wasn’t her strong point. Soon, boredom raced in again and she was quick to find something else to keep her mind at ease. Maybe it was nerves, but who could say. She was chasing her tail and flopping onto her side with it still between her teeth, chewing on it idly while she waited and licking it when pain shot up her spine. Yeah, she was having a childish moment alright, but this leader would not be able to refuse her once he saw the hidden power within.

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/25zkpwm.png] words • "talking" • thinking Though winter was long past, something that looked suspiciously like a pile of snow sat beside one of the many pine trees that made up Jirai forest. If it weren’t for the steady movement that looked like breathing it might very well have been a pile of snow. As it was, two pointed ears suddenly pricked forward, standing at attention. They twitched for a moment, searching for something, before relaxing. The head that they adorned suddenly raised itself up off the ground. Jaws parted in a long yawn, then closed as the owner looked around for a moment, blinking the sleep out of his eyes. Rostyn stood up rather slowly and stretched his legs out. Once his limbs, stiff from being in the same position for so long, were warmed up and limber again, he pricked his ears once more, wondering if he might be able to catch the sound again. It did not come, but he knew that the noise that had awoken him had been the call of another wolf. It had been close enough that he knew it had to be within his territory, perhaps near the nearby lake. With another, smaller yawn, Rostyn set off towards Saint Mary Lake, his paws working at a ground-eating lope instead of a full-on run. After all, he was not certain that the stranger was at Saint Mary Lake and he needed to go slow enough that he might catch a scent on the wind to help him locate the stranger. Rostyn reached the lake quickly and approached the shore. He had seen no sign of the stranger during his quick journey and he had found that his mouth and throat were dry. He took time to quickly drink from the water. He was nearly finished when he heard splashing in the distance. Looking up, Rostyn saw that there was a disturbance in the water on the other side of the lake. He wasn’t sure what it was, but his curiosity was piqued now. He set off, traveling in the open on the shore line so that whatever – or whoever – it was might see him as he was coming, as well as so he might be able to continue watching the scene across the lake. Several minutes later found him close to where the splashing was taking place. Looking closer now, he could see that it was a wolf that was making the noise, and a relatively large one at that. He was certain that it was the stranger that had called earlier, and she had clearly grown bored while she had been waiting for him to arrive. He sat down in clear view, not too far away, and watched as she chased her tail until she threw herself down on her side with it in her teeth. Not sure if she had seen him yet, he cleared his throat, hoping to get her attention if he did not have it already. Then he waited for her to explain herself, as he expected she would do once she realized that someone was watching her. Hopefully she would also figure out that he was the alpha, since his scent had been at the border she had crossed. word count;; 536 starring;; rostyn for;; ghost muse;; meh comments; finally done with this
