-Hell's Gates-

Jaded


Jaded looked upon the fallen queen in cool disgust. Runs in her blood through birth...she thought coldly and parted her lips to heat tinged words. "It takes more than blood to be a queen." Lilith's lost smile found itself upon Jaded's own maw hearing that familiar voice. She watched on longing in a deep way to sink her jaws in Lilith's throat for all the wrong she had done to the children Lilith left behind and to Damean. Her cool emeralds watched Lilith as her pelt stood on end....yes you should fear him...she thought and the smile stayed on her lips only to be replaced by a silent snarl hearing the wench call her mate 'love'.

Her eyes met her beloveds and she felt begrudged a moment but understood. The life, the precious life within her had to be protected above all. She nodded and flicked her tail looking at Lilith..smirk still upon her mouth, she would enjoy seeing her lifeless body. Her emerald gaze went to Rawbones and she flicked an ear. "Come my friend.." She said to Rawbones and glanced at Evander in a silent message...keep him safe. She turned her lithe tawny body rounded with life and went to the closest den...one where she would be able to see this bitch get the welcoming she deserved.

Blade stood down slightly when Jaded spoke up, but didn't move, making sure that Jaded was at a decent distace away at all times. He growled in a low tone, barely audible tone, stating his disagreement with Lilith's comment about being a queen running in her blood. If being a ruler ran down through blood, that blood would become very tainted, and would have to be replaced by new blood. He was about to speak out, but noticed Damean, and Lilith never even noticed. Quickly turning his gaze away so that she wouldn't suspect, he hid a grin until the only other wolf, apart from Jaded, spoke.

He watched as Damean startled his former mate, and did not look happy at all. Then his gaze locked with his for a second before moving to Eris, and he understood immediately. His posture just faintly moved, but his muscles were in better position for what he would probably be doing soon... Rawbones and Jaded were excused, and Blade understood why, although he was sure both would have loved to stay and watch, if not participate. Then came a dangerous growl and snarl... at least, dangerous for the long gone former queen. Blade walked towards her, growling out, "I told you when I first arrived here 'Blade' is merely a nickname. It's actually been cursed upon me by... former friends. Care to find out why?" He bounded forward, snapping at Lilith's legs, slightly wishing she'd stay to fight so he and Eris could make sure she would be gone for good. No sane wolf would remain to fight two healthy wolves... of course...she might not be sane anymore...

But if she did start to fight, though, he'd have to rely on Eris to do most of the fighting... or distracting, in Blade's mind. The wolves who've started calling him this name, who had studied humans, claimed that some humans acted like assassins, with small blades, killing from dark, narrow enclosures at night. Blade work similarly, but he did hold up well in a confrontal fight. This was different, though. She was supposed to run like a deer with predators on her tail. He paused briefly- just enough time for Eris to act, and to see what Lilith would do; then he lept forward, either in a chase or a charge to fight. The fact that he hadn't seen Petra in quite some time also caused a need for him to focus all his efforts into everything he did.

Jaded


Jaded turned in the den to look out. She looked at Rawbones. "I cannot believe she dared show her face here..." She said her tone was low...deadly. Her keen ears pinned to her skull as she heard that bitch dare to utter the words ~you know you still love me~ Dillusioned fem...mad to think that he dared still love her. She growled low in her throat and then dug her claws into the soil below her feet.

"How dare she...' she breathed and watched Damean slap her face and a smile crossed her lips...he didn't love that cur. It reaffirmed Jaded and she looked to Rawbones. "Why do you think she would return?" She asked.

He had noticed Damean engaged in the fight, and held back a smirk when the alpha's paw slapped her. Then she ran at Damean, only to feint, and was aimed at himself. His feet carreid him towards Lilith, unhesitantly and sure, despite knowing head on attacks were his disadvantage. He lept forward, claws aiming to tear themselved into her skin. He wondered what she would gain by fighting them, or even trying to stay here, unless her mind really was addled. He wasn't too worried about Jaded, since Rawbones was near her, but still was suspicious of the wolves who had shown up after a long time out of radar. He pushed these thoughts away, and focused on the present, wondering how the ex-queen woudl respond to this attack.

Right at her!?! what was wrong with these wolves. "No respect!" she screamed and she dug her claws in the dirt and made herself fall to the side. "None at all!" she stood up quickly watching as Damean's puzzled look followed her. "What are you doing here Lilith, you're a messed up junky wolf who gets off on trying to create drama in packs, we're not going to stand for it, now fight and die or leave you fool, you've got to the count of three." He didn't even begin to count and his black body was chasing her. She had known he wouldn't count, he had pulled this stunt with one wolf before and she had known it was her death if she didn't run. She rose up off the ground in the quick spin. Damean wasn't built for speed and she knew she'd get away, it was Blade she was more worried about, she had to get out...and quickly. "Get her!" she heard the bellow of the once former mate in her ears, he was closer then she thought and she felt the pounding of mulitiple feet. Damean was right behind her...no, it wasn't Damean, he was bigger. She sped up, weaving in and out of these unknown lands from the fire... Evander was behind her, and he knew Blade wasn't far behind if not right next to him, his target was fleeing away, and it was get her off the lands or kill her while he could...

He saw Lilith dodge to the side, and he hurled past her before stopping, hastily turning his body back around, snarling, "No respect for you, perhaps." Blade tensed, eyes following her, ears listening to Damean's voice. When he told them to follow, he gladly complied, and noticed Evander, too, had joined in the chase. He had kept up with Evander for a while, since he needed to warm his legs up to go any faster without injury. When she sped up, so did he, but his movements were a bit quicker, so he was gradually able to catch up. It was a race against time- the time it'd take for her to get out of the lands.

When he'd gotten close enough, he snapped at her, an attempt to either really bite her for injury, or merely to scare her if she evaded the attack. By the sounds of footsteps, Evander was still near, while Damean had fallen behind, or had completely stopped. He was more focused on the target, and if Damean wanted her gone, he'd do that any means necessary.

Jaded


Jaded looked at Zaiaku as he bowed low to her her with seeming deep respect. She flicked an ear and watched him with her piercing emeralds. She pondered his words. Bloodeye gone? Why? she wondered. And why would she leave her seeming suitor behind. "She left with no word to you Zaiaku?" she asked bluntly and her tail flicked irritated with the white fem. She looked at him. She had only trusted him because he was with Bloodeye and now she was gone. Jaded would be watching this male closer for sure. He seemed to bow prettily and his words sounded sweet but .....Jaded felt uneasy. Maybe it was the times or the presence of the old queen that made her so but she would make sure he was loyal before trusting him with anything.

They chased her, and Damean followed for only a moment before Evander picked up the chase and the dark king dropped back. He needed to tend to Jaded...make sure she was okay. Black pelt shifted when he did and he went back to the two wolves who had stuck around the most, no, now there were three. Damean came up behind Zai and watched him with curious eyes as he came round and stood next to Jaded, he ignored the bru and spoke directly to Rawbones. "Thank you for bringing her back... quite a mouth on that wench am I right...I think your words and Blades got the point across though" He shrugged a little and licked Jaded's cheek. "No word huh...not good enough...strange..." he sighed and felt a tingle in his spine. Someone familiar? Yes, he noticed her light pelt from a time before...from when... his heart choked and he watched as the brown eyes female came entering into their presence... "Epica..." he said softly and watched her as she nodded towards Damean.

"Sir, I didn't expect you to still be...around." Her words lyrical and she watched as Damean smirked. "You sound so displeased..." he spoke quickly and she smirked back. "Oh no, not me, Evon maybe, but not me. Have you seen my twisted sister around? I'm sure if you had her grave would be laying about somewhere. I'd like to take a little message to her if you have seen her pretty white face" She watched Damean roll his eyes and look at Zai, she too turned her head and looked at the bru. "Obviously she didn't mean that much to you either then..." she had caught only the tail end of Damean's words when she came closer and guessed on her part a conversation about a fea... Epica turned and looked at Jaded, she remembered her, but before, she was only a wolf...not an alphaness tot he pack...strange, things change... "here to stay?" she looked towards Damean's voice and nodded. "If I may... though with your story of alliance going around. I'm not too sure I should, but who knows...this could just prove to be interesting... just like before" she smiled and sat down now, feeling welcome amongst this group.

Panic...so much panic flowed through her veins and all she wanted to do was get away from them, these beasts, rude obnoxious wolves. Lilith crossed the boarder, and fear was the only thing that stopped her from turning her head back around and look to see if they followed... she needed to find one wolf...one wolf who brought pain to that black wenchs eyes...Legend...

Jaded


Jaded had caught Zai's lifted gaze and she met his eyes boldly with her own hues and watched him avert his own. The lie fell like honey from his tongue but she flicked an ear forward at his incantation. "Well if she felt you weren't up to her expectations should we be worried about how you meet up to ours?" Her words were light with jest but there was a deeper meaning to them. Jaded was not stupid..Zai had made her uneasy before. She had only allowed his presence because of the trust she had placed in Bloodeye.

Her mate then approached and she was glad to see that he had left the task of running the dillusioned fem out to others. She still felt a growl and an urge to rip that fem's throat out. She smiled and nuzzled him back when he kissed her. A scent came to her nose and her ears perked forward. Epica. She listened as the fem spoke with her mate and too sat and breathed a sigh, her belly shifted with the movement.

Blade was almost within a good range to go for another attack, but quickly, the border was coming up, and she'd crossed it. He slowed down, knowing there was no point to continue. Instead, he snarled at her retreating form, as if to say he wouldn't be so civil the next time he would see her. Especially now that he knew Damean wanted her struck down on sight.

He turned to retreat back into the confines of the pack lands, quickly glancing to see if Evander, too had stopped, or maybe he'd stopped earlier. The energy was still sparking through his body, anxious for more action, then faded, wondering where Petra was right now. He sighed, just knowing that somehow he'd have messed up. The logical side of him was telling him not to jump to conclusions, though.

Trying to shrug it off for now, his pace was a swift walk, so he could get back a bit faster to see if anything happened during his run.

Damean watched as the bru turned to leave and he looked towards the bru who had come and protested he leave. "Well that was inter-" his words were cut off and the wind was knocked out of him. He tried to catch his breath when sudden pain went from his face down to his scar. He was disorientated and he couldn't find a hold on anything. He growled and snapped catching fur and that was it, just fur, no skin, what was on him! He pushed himself to roll over and saw Gladiator, and blood! So much blood, what was going on! He barked several times, the weight of this creature ontop of him, then, there was more. He felt bones break and he yelped loudly...

Can a wolf beat two wolves at once...wolves who's main mission was to drink blood of their dead. Blue eyes danced with what was rage, annoyance, and most of all, regret. He watched as a wolf with red eyes, the bru who had just turned the wolf away who was not attacking Gladiator, walk up and smile. "Goodbye" The bru reached down. Damean felt the teeth of the bru enter the skin in his neck. He growled but it was cut off. He felt light headed, but there was no more pain... His eyes fluttered shut and faces began to slide through his mind. Jaded was first, he felt warmth run up his face and he knew it wasn't happiness only, but his own blood. Blade, Petra, Akiko, Crow... the faces were there with him and he felt so tired. He shook a little and felt the coldness run up his legs... he opened his eyes and saw the bru who had just fitted his dead sentence to his name standing there with a smile. "Don't worry, they'll be around sometime soon... Harmi, calm yourself, the job is done, get out of here." He nodded to his kin and then did the strangest thing.

The bru turned, biting his own flesh, he growled and bit himself more and more, ripping away peices of skin to make himself bleed. Then, he waited... they would come, the wolves of Jabbar. His eyes looked at Glory and he lifted his gaze to Gladiator. "You better not have killed him...Dracul will be mad, and he just made nice with a lady" The bru spoke quickly. "Harmi! Before you go, get Glory if you can, if not...well...I'll try" He sighed, the wolves of Jabbar would be here soon... He felt liquid on his foot and looked down. Damean's blood was running down along the ground towards him, he basked in the moment of death for a moment before he rolled in the blood. Nothing better then mixing up the scene...

Deadly Sins. They would know this name. Then he felt them coming and he turned just in time to see a white fem. Akira? No... this was her sister. He let her slam into him and he fought back snapping where he could to grab ahold of her, he wanted to sink his teeth into her. His eyes flashed to the deep red that was normal for a Midnight and he pushed himself upwards and shoved away from her. "Hurt me and I can't tell you why this has happened." He growled and stepped back from her. His mind wanted to kill her, he wanted to rip her apart badly but he had to control himself, He had to. "The alpha of Tirisfall sends their regards, but declines Damean's request for an alliance... two were here with us to make sure the job was done... Hamara knows too... Kaia's lover Sephiroth said this was all okay, he wouldn't let her allign with a dark pack..." Deadly stepped forward, sucked in a breath again and then stepped back... there were more coming... he'd have to leave soon... "Where is Jaded..." he spoke softly, eyes were twitching here and there...she would come...she had to...her mate was dying, or dead, he hadn't checked with his eyes in a little while...
