Ayla listened carefully. She was glad Jester understood her, and finally felt like she could relate to someone. Well, she felt like it, future should tell her if her feeling was correct. 'Sounds good to me.' She said rather confident and sure. 'When are we heading out?' She asked. Her orbs glistened when she thought about the travel she and Jester would commence, she was ready for it. She didn't knew what she was up to, but didn't mind.

[No worries, it's fine]

Jester nodded again. "We'll head out in the morning, try to catch some more rest now, I'll hold gaurd for now." There were to reasons why he insisted he should hold gaurd. First, he was a light sleeper, and not very used to the fact someone else was sleeping nearby, even the most silent sound would awake him. Second, if that killer showed up, he could take care of him himself, without Ayla nowing. Not that he would have much of use to her in a fight he thought. She said she didn't liked to kill, which made him wonder if he couldn't change her behavior on that subject. An encourage there, some compliments here, and you could get unsure persons quite far into things like killing. It was easier then mending someone's mind when that was without doubts, or completly broken. His blue orbs scanned the horizon, on the lookout for posible interlopers, like that mercenary, or other unwanted guests. He really needed some brute force, someone he could easily manipulate and hold on leash at the same time.

'Ok, that's fine with me.' Ayla walked back into the den and lied herself down. She was a good sleeper, so she wouldn't wake up very easily. They would take turns, Ayla hoped nothing would happen when she was guarding, she wouldn't forgive herself if someone else's life would get wasted because of her mistake. She wondered what Jester would think of her: she was a 'nice girl'. Maybe he thought she wasn't a good warrior. Well, she never really fight much, but if her instincts took over, -that was the only thing that could do this- she could turn into a killer wolf. She can kill, very good actually, but she tried to hide that side of her as much as she possibly could. Because she wanted to catch some sleep before she would have to guard, she blocked her thoughts, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Jester had gaurded all night, not even taking the trouble of waking Ayla up for her turn. He didn't cared, it took more then a few hours sleep less to make him even close to sleepy. He saw the sun rise in the east, and he loped down, not wanting to stay here much longer. Normally he would already been miles away, but now he had stayed at the same place for half a day. He just hoped that merc had done too. If that wasn't the case, well, then he would catch up with him quite quick. That was, if he founded Jester's cent and could follow track again. That merc was persistent, and made Jester sure Phantom had hired some top-wolf from Group, or maybe even Burden. No matter which of both that merc was coming from, Jester would have a hard time to permanently lose him. Maybe seek refuge in a pack? Change names? He would need to use dirty tricks to get lost of him.

Jester trotted further down, and stopped near Ayla, his form shielding her from the sun a little longer. She looked cute when she slept, and then Jester stepped aside, the sun now shining on her; The best waking method.

Ayla was pulled out of her sleep when a strong light shined in her eyes. She woke up and yawned. She felt like she slept more than a few hours, and when she got up and looked at the sky, she knew Jester hadn't woke her up at night. She walked to the pool of water near the entrance of the den, bent over and started drinking. When she was done, she walked back to Jester and asked him: 'Why didn't you wake me up?' Her orbs looking directly into his. She felt good, and suddenly she remembered they would leave today. She wondered what this journey would bring her. And she especially hoped she -and Jester, off course- would survive.

"Why should I? The sun did it for me." And then Jester turned on his heels. "We should make forth, I have stayed here already way to long then is good for me." He already started to walk eastwards. His great plan to escape that merc was to cross straight trough the desert, relieing on his abilities to get him, and Ayla, trough. "We'll be crossing straight trough." he said to her, not taking the effort to look back. She would follow, what else could she do? And it was a little fair to give her note of what stood in line for them. How closer you got to the center of a desert, the fewer oasis there where, and thus the larger part you got to travel between water and food. It was also far of the calculated traveling routes of game, so they would have to eat mostly small animals, like hare, desert pheasant and mice. And the odd salamander. They would mostly travel by night, and only by day if absolutly neccesary, or if water was very close by. It was still cool in these parts, but later traveling by day would be unbearable.

Ayla quickly followed Jester, she knew that she had to trust him from now. She asked herself why Jester would say he already stood too long in one place, was he on the run for someone? She decided to ask, even though she felt a bit uncomfortable. 'Why... did you say you're already too long here? Is someone following you?' She anctiously awaited his answer, hoping he wouldn't mind answering.

Jester said they would cross 'straight trough', Ayla thought about that, and even though she didn't know the area, she could tell that that would be straight through the unforgiving desert. She wondered how long she could go without water, she already knew that she could last a long time without food, but water was necessary.As much as her life was hard sometimes, the thought of dieing was intimidating her, not that she was afraid to die, but if she would die, it better atleast be a quick death.

She tried to shake of the thought, and quickened her pace so she was walking right next Jester.

Jester

"Sort off, and I fear he's getting awkwardly close to us, so we better move." Jester picked up pace again, and started to climpb a hill. He wanted a clear overview of his chaser, and what he could do about him. An ambush? No, Jester feared the merc was fair stronger, and maybe even more expierienced. The only way he could get rid of him was by making him lose his tracks. and that would be harder then he thought, Jester realized, when two forms crossed the top of a hill, at a high speed. Darn, he brought company. Now he even lost his numerical advantage. The odds surely became turned against him. The two had stopped, probably looking at tracks, when suddenly the alabalester male, with the dark stain looked up. The hunt was on. "Quick, move!" And Jester dashed off.

Border

And it was on indeed. "There he is." Jester's form, from which he had caught glimpses, matched his description. Quite tall, slender, Etheiopian wolf. The one he had hunted for over two months, sometimes being so close, that he could reach out and grab him. If Jester hadn't been moving, that is. His hunt had brought him trough many places, from wet swamps to cold mountians. Even trough several pack lands, altough none of them had lied in the lands of Fire and Ice. He snarled. "Time to end this." He then glanced to Kazana, who was right of him. Altough she wasn't used to such an extortional pace like he was, he knew she could keep up,a nd he knew that she probably could lend him a paw in a fight. Which came out ideally, as it seemed Jester had brought a friend as well. "are you ready?" Border was eager to sprint, and finally end this...thing.

Ayla didn't need a second call and dashed out right after Jester, her paws moving her forward faster than ever. She ran quickly, but silent too.She was looking around, trying to find a place where they could run without being seen. They did had a little luck; the wind was in their back, so their chasers would have a hard time trying to pick up their scent, allthough, if they really wanted to find them, they certainly would. Ayla tried to focus on the situation, she looked to her right and saw something in the distance; probably a den or something like that. 'Quick, follow me!' She said to Jester, and turned towards the den, she didn't took the time to look back, but she expected Jester to be right behind her. She knew hiding wasn't an option, they would be an easy catch then, but maybe Jester had an idea. And if he didn't, than Ayla thought of a possible scenario: she would have to fight.

Kazanas lithe multi hued form slid right in next to Border with ease. Her auds perked as he spoke to her, she heard him snarl and she smiled. She remained silent though as she brought her chocolate pools to meet his. She nodded her tiara, signaling that she was indeed ready. It felt good for her to finally be back into what her father had trained her to do. Her mother hadn't known about the training her father had given her, she hadn't had a lot of it but the training she did have should be plenty to take care of this Jester character. She brought her pools away from Border and they danced back into the direction of Jester and there was someone else there too. She watched them interact while slinking down as to not be seen. She had been an excellent hunter, and this was what made her blood course through her veins. The adrenaline caused her heart to race .. She was born for this ...

Jester

Jester heard her faint cry, but wasn't sure that he was willing to comply. She wanted to hide? Bad idea, the distance was too short, and their scent was too thick. Altough... Maybe she could be used as a distraction. "I am right behind you!" he yelled. But he wasn't... He slipped back into the dunes, vanishing into the desert. He wasn' obligated to her. After all, it was he who "saved" her, and he had never promised to protect her or something. He trotted down the hill, and didn't looked back even once. It was who he was.

Border

Alabaster mittens kicked up sand and dust, as he almost charged downhill. Jester and his friend had dissapeared after a dune, but Border knew that was just temporaly. He crossed the top, and saw Jester's frined going in some sort of den. Jester probably thought he would be safe there. He started to make mistakes. And when people started to make mistakes, they were frightened. "This time I got ya." Was all he mumbled. and then he trotted downhill, not aware of the figure making his escape over another dune.

[Ooc: Okay I am so sorry, life got in the way of things... here I am to post ^.^]

He had caught one of their scents and the wolf she guessed was Jester took off through the dunes. Kaza's chocolate pools watched as Border took off after the one he had been searching for. Her mind wandered onto what might become of them after this mission was complete. Her tassel quivered and she took off, not more than a second had passed in between Border taking off and the thought crossed her mind. She slid in next to him, her bubblegum tongue panting slightly, her mitts carried her multi hued form with ease. She did not push to go in front of him, she knew that Border must be the one to kill Jester, she was simply along for the thrill. Her heart pounded in her rib cage, allowing the blood to course through her veins with ease. She did not speak, she simply kept with him...A slick grin came in play on her maw as they ran together, her perked auds awaiting his orders...

Subject: Re: Paths cross... Sun Aug 28, 2011 3:37 pm

Ayla arrived at the den and looked behind her. No sign of Jester. She realised she was by herself now. Jester probably left her, going trough the dunes. Another wolf ran up to Ayla, she didn't know who he was, but she was pretty sure it wasn't someone friendly. She ran off, leaving the den behind her and running as fast as her paws could carry her. She didn't look back, she looked straight forward and what she saw didn't please her. There was no way out. All there was was desert. She wouldn't survive in the desert, so she sighed, turned around, and awaited her faith. Allthough she wasn't the one who seemed to have a problem with those wolves... She wondered where Jester was...
