StormCry & Shadowfax - Lycans

[StormCry]

Liam's smile did not disappear, though the butterflies in his stomach grew tenfold. He stepped up to her as she slid down from the tree. He wrapped one arm around her waist, then the other, pulling her in close. He stared into her eyes for a moment before leaning slowly in and kissing her on the lips.

Sabrina wrapped her arms around his neck after he wrapped an arm around her waist before using the other to pull her in close. She met him half way when he slowly leaned in close to her and kissed him back on the lips just as softly as he did her. She then pulled away again after a few more enjoyable minutes of it and asked curiously, “So does this mean that you feel the same way?”

[StormCry]

Liam smiled, his cheeks brightening and his eyes lighting up. He nodded. "Y-yes. I feel the same way." His hands found hers, intertwining their fingers and holding her hands tightly.

“I’m glad,” Sabrina said in reply with the smile still on her face and it got a bit bigger when she felt him hold her hands. “So I guess I don’t have to be worried about those other girls then?” she asked while gently squeezing his hands. Then she faltered slightly before saying, “I guess I’m still a bit weak. I also didn’t have any dinner last night before my walk and I also didn’t have anything this morning for breakfast when I woke up.”

Zoe and Aisling went on patrol after they each ate something small at the kill pile. They both kept their attention on their surroundings to make sure nothing was going to sneak up on them, but also wouldn’t get passed them to the camp to attack their fellow pack mates. Zoe tried to keep from thinking about Brazen so that she could focus while Aisling did the same about Blaire. They needed to keep their focus on their task and not their crushes, but they found it a bit difficult.

[StormCry]

Liam's smile faded somewhat, and he gave her hands a little squeeze. "Well, let's go get you something to eat then!" He turned to walk with her, keeping his fingers of one hand entwined with hers as they walked.

Blair and Brazen patrolled the opposite side of the territory from Zoe and Aisling. (not sure where to go from here. Was thinking that they might find evidence of the werecats and form a pack to hunt them down?)

[Shadowfax278]

((sure we can do that and I plan to get Aisling injured this time ))

Sabrina’s smile reappeared when she felt him squeeze one of her hands before walking with him back to camp. When they got there, she led the way this time to the pile and found a squirrel as well as a mouse. She reluctantly dropped his hand before shifting into her wolf form and laying down shortly afterward to start eating.

Zoe suddenly picked up the scent of the werecats that had attacked Sabrina and she turned her attention towards where she picked up the scent and Aisling followed after her. She thought that maybe they should wait until Blaire and Brazen caught up to them before they did anything rash, but maybe they could also just get close to where the werecats were and then wait for the boys before they attacked. She nodded quietly to herself with that decision made and then continued to follow the scent to the werecat’s camp.

[StormCry]

Liam shifted into wolf form, also choosing some food. He laid down next to Brina, closely at first, then he scooted an inch away, then he moved half an inch closer to her again. He wanted to snuggle close to her, but wasn't sure if he was going too fast in their new relationship.

Blair and Brazen stopped their patrol where they normally met the girls at. However, the girls weren't there, which was unusual. Blair looked at Brazen, who sat down and looked content to wait.
While waiting, Blair began to sniff the area. He suddenly picked up the girl's scents, still fresh and rich. He got Brazen's attention, and before long, the two of them were softly running through the woods, tracking after the girls.

Sabrina leaned against Liam when she noticed him move slightly closer to her after him doing that first and then move away again. "You're warm and cozy," she said before softly nuzzling him and then going back to eating her food while also still leaning against him because she didn't want to leave his warm side. "You know, you'll need to ask my dad about courting me. He's mostly easy-going and will listen, but just watch out for him when he's in a bad mood after having an argument with my mom. That's when his mood isn't exactly the best, which I think you've already found out, and I can give you a heads-up on his current mood if you'd like." Then when she heard the pained yowl, she sat bolt upright, before taking off running towards the woods without looking to see if he was following her or not. She knew that was Ash and she wanted to help her.

Zoe and Aisling stopped and crouched down into some nearby holly bushes when they were close enough to the werecat's camp just to watch them. Aisling could slightly pick up the boy's scents, but couldn't really tell how far away they were from where her and Zoe's current position was so she looked over at her friend and she gave the slightest nod to go check and she quietly did so while also making sure she wasn't seen by their possible enemies. She got to a place that she thought was a good enough place to see them coming, not realizing that a werecat was up in the tree behind her and was keeping watch. It chose that moment to pounce out of the tree and down onto Aisling's back. Aisling yowled out in pain before turning around and starting to fight against it, wincing in pain slightly as the scratches on her back started to sting and bleed quite a bit which was causing them to stain her fur a bit in red. Her vision started to blur a bit, but she fought against that and kept on attacking as long as she could until the boys reached her and could give her some assistance.
Zoe looked towards where her and Brina's friend was with a start when she heard the yowl and now saw her fighting with another werecat that neither of them knew was there. She cursed silently to herself before straightening up from lying down when she saw the other two cats come to check on the commotion. She jumped out and attacked one of them before circling the both of them afterward when she noticed the other do the same so that she could keep an eye on both.

((thought I'd add a bit of drama. plus I did say that I was going to get Aisling hurt this time...))

[StormCry]

Liam inwardly panicked when Sabrina mentioned her dad. He knew her dad in a professional capacity. He was a strong leader. It didn't make him feel any better when she warned him about her dad's "bad mood" moments. But, he would do anything for her, including facing her dad and asking to court her.
"A heads up would be greatly appreciated." He said. A thought occured to him that he dad might not want him to court Sabrina. The thought filled him with dread.
"What if your dad..." He didn't get to finish the thought, as he and Sabrina both jumped to their feet at the painful outcries. As soon as Sabrina took off, Liam was on her heals.
"Remember! You've just been healed!" He tried to caution her. He knew there was no stopping her, but if he could keep her from getting hurt again, he would do it.

As soon as Blair heard Ash, he was running full tilt. "I knew they were in trouble when they didn't meet us!" He thought to himself "Oh please, oh please don't let her be...!" He didn't dare finish that thought. As soon as Ash came into sight, he surged forward and punched into the werecat, a mass of chomping teeth and angry snarls.
As Blair added to the commotion, it didn't take Brazen long to see Zoe circling two cats. He quickly joined her, lunging at one of the cats with a warning snap.
"We have to get out of here!" He howled.
"It's far too late for that, puppiessssssss!" With the hissing cat voice, 7 other cats appeared, surrounding the wolves. A large white cat with a red star painted on her forehead stepped through the ring of cats. With a loud yowl, she ordered the cat attacking Ash to stand down.
"You will come to our village now." She growled with a smirk in her orange eyes. "Or die." as she said those words, four more cats appeared.
Blair growled, standing near Ash protectively.
Brazen snorted, then whined, glancing at the Zoe. "We're outnumbered by... alot."

Raven heard the commotion in the woods from the other side of the woods where the kids usually patrolled, cursing to herself about their kids and friends getting into even more trouble than she and Aiden and Kieran did when they were younger. She ran back to camp, rounding up some volunteers there that wanted to help them out. When the hunting party that had also been out came back and heard what she said, they wanted to help as well which put the total at 11. She nodded to them in thanks before sending them after Sabrina and company and they took off running as fast as they could to help them.
Raven watched them go with a sigh and went off to find Aiden and Kieran to tell them what happened, but couldn't keep the worry from showing on her face.

Aisling was starting to lose the battle to stay conscious, but tried to keep her eyes open a bit longer until the boys got there to help. She lost it when Blaire appeared and started to take over the attacking of the werecat that had attacked her, letting out small pained whimpers every so often.
Zoe saw an opening that one of the cats she was circling left and was about to attack it there when Brazen appeared and lunged towards one of them with a warning snap. She then heard what he said and nodded before trying to find a way to start getting away but then heard what another cat said as it appeared. Her face paled as she saw even more cats appear and surround them. She nodded and said just as softly, "I'm sorry."
"I know but thanks for reminding me!" Sabrina said in reply over her shoulder to him when she heard what he said before she came upon the scene. She cursed to herself when she saw how many cats there were, but then smirked slightly to herself when she got an idea. She thought that maybe her, Blaire, and Brazen's mom heard the commotion and probably sent some reinforcements to them to help so she started doing what Brazen usually did to distract an enemy but in this case, it was to stall; she just hoped that she wouldn't see through what she was doing and had a look that feigned innocence: "Nah, I don't think we will. Is the red star painted on your head supposed to mean you're the leader or something and that somehow makes you special? You know anyone can do what you did and call themselves the leader of your group. How are we supposed to know if you're the real leader or not?"
Zoe saw Sabrina and Liam join them and felt a bit better, but they were still outnumbered by quite a lot. When she saw her friend's small smirk on her face, she had to stop herself from rolling her eyes and letting out a sigh; that look usually meant that she was about to do what Brazen sometimes did. When she said and asked what she did, she got the idea of her trying to stall and hoped, just like her friend did, that the leader wouldn't see through it.

((feel free to play the reinforcements since they're npcs))
