The blood is rushing to my head! [Alue and Hades]

[Peach]

Ooc; This thread is closed to the public. It is
between me (Peach/Hades) and Madey (Madey/Alue).

Thank you, doll.

The retreating backsides of the other Njal males slowly disappeared over a grassy knoll. They were snickering to themselves, delighting in the cruel treatment they had just put Hades through.

Hanging from a tree, the black male wolf was a pathetic sight. His front paws flailed wildly, trying to grasp at the tree trunk a few meters away. He hung upside down, the blood in his body quickly pumping itself towards his head. If he didn't get down soon, then he'd be stuck here, groaning over a headache that had already started to begin.

His ears perked up (or down?) at the sound of the wildlife around him. The most prominent sound was the soft footfalls of a wolf. They sounded female, but he couldn't be sure over the pounding in his ears. Should he ask for help and risk embarrassment? Should he just stay quiet and wait for her to pass? No. That would be a stupid idea. He felt sick.

"Help!" His voice cracked halfway through the yelp, making him an even sorrier sight. A couple of crows in the furthermost branches of the tree he was bound to cackled in their loud, creaking voices. "Help me! I can't get down! My feet are bound!"

He watched the spot he knew she would step out from, though watching particular area was proving hard. He spun around and around, adding dizziness to his list of aches and pains. He would never recover from this episode!

Alue was growling at herself as she paced back and forth a few miles away from the helpless brute. Rambling on and on, teath flared angrily, auds pinned tightly to her skull. A few brutes then past her. She snarled at all of them warningly. When they quickly padded off she snorted and continued to pace. When she knew it wasn't going to do anything she padded where the brutes came from. Her paws punched the earth's ground as she walked closer to the helpess brute. She rose her dome and lifted her nose to the air, a strong scent tickled her nostrils, she then knew it was a brute. She huffed and stalked towards him. Her tail raised as it sayd back and forth behind her. When she knew she was close she started to hear his pleads for help. Her auds flattend, but she then hurried to the sound. When she got there she noticed the brute tied. She rose a brow and took a breath. She grabed the rope and cut him loose with her sharp canines. Then did the same to the other plays where they were tied. She shook her dome and back up, letting him do the rest. When she knew he was able she nodded towards him. Stupid helpless brute She thought to herself angrily. "There you go, brute." Her lyrics were soft, but cold as it rolled off her tongue. And with that she turned around to the direction she came and started to walk off. Though she did stop in her tracks and turned her head over her shoulder to see if he did succede to get undone or not.

"Oh, thank goodness you heard me!" Hades said, relief evident in his voice.

He watched the female cautiously, seeing that she looked angry. It was moments like these that he always second guessed his decisions. She didn't look like she was laughing at him, but there was an air of pity around her. He had let his weakness show and now a complete stranger - a female, at that - knew about the horrible jokes his pack pulled on him.

She was quick and clean about the cutting of the ropes. Hades soon found himself falling face first into the smooth pebbles of The Wash. With a bruised nose, he picked himself up and licked his aching paws.

"Thank you again," he managed to mumble through his licks. "I could've been there for hours, spinning around and around and around."

He stopped talking and gagged, realizing that he wasn't helping his dizziness. His head began spinning again and he fell onto his side. Fresh water from the river lapped at his tail gently, trying to pull him in. He flicked it in irritation. Today was not turning about to be a good one.

"To tell you the truth, I didn't think a fae would be the one to rescue me," he said.

[Madey(Hatter)]

She ignored his thanks when she released his bound. She seemed to huff in reply. She actually did think the prank they pulled was very humorous, at the moment to her. Since she was in an angry move anything mean and manipulative sounded very good to her, so did a fight, she couldn't beleive she didn't get the role of alpha, now what was she suposed to do to get her mind off of things. When he spoke she turned her body to face him again and cocked a brow. "Don't mention it, after a while if no one came to undo you, your heart would end up in your throat." She knew what she was talking about, All the blood would rush to his dome and all his insides would do the same in enough time. Then his last comment struck her ears. A malicious growl that wouldn't have been expected from a fae came warningly out of her maw. Her auds tightend to her skull. "Ah, You expected prince charming?" Her lyrics were harsh and as it rolled off her tongue liked poison. Her upper lip curled over her large sharp teeth, evil humor danced in her narrowd golden green eyes.

[Peach]

"Oh, no, of course not!" Hades stuttered as he stumbled to his feet. He could see and hear that she had angered her. This would not turn out well. "I simply meant that I expected a male to come along..."

He muttered as he attempted to look for a logical excuse. Why had he opened his big mouth? He'd got himself tied to the stupid tree because of his big mouth in the first place! He hadn't realized the female had a mate! A mate! That was the perfect excuse!

"Ah... I expected a male because it's mating season, you know?" His tail slinked between his legs and he lowered his head, trying to show a sign of submission. "They're usually around here, looking for lovely little ladies, like, ah, yourself? Pretty, submissive, you know? Ah... And... Um... You might've been, ah, one of those brutes that tied me up. You know, when I was upside down, you smelled like one... Um... And... Sounded like one..."

Compliments or insults - Hayd had no idea. He worked with females for a living, but he's never had to talk his way out of a fight with one before, only tough males, so much bigger than him.

[Madey(Hatter)]

When he tried to make excuses she knew she had startled him enough a chuckled escaped her maw. "No males around here except for her." Her lyrics seemed to lesten its rudness. Why would I be with a male? She asked herself. She didn't know anything and she kind of felt stupid not knowing what a word he was rambling about. She rose a brow as she studied the brute. Her eyes seemed in pain when he said mate She took a breath and her facial expression was once again emotionless. "Let's just say, I havn't had a mate for a year now." Her lyrics were hard again. She looked away from him and at her large paws. When he started to talk about mixing her up with a brute she looked back up at him. "You thought I was a brute?" She asked her voice hard now. Her orbs studied him knowing he was trying to back down, she noticed the submission in his orbs as well. She narrowd her eyes, but loosend the gaze.

[Peach]

Yes, well, I've never had a mate! Hayd thought, even his mind-voice wavering with fear.

"I simply thought you were a brute, because, ah, the pounding in my ears? Yes! That's it!" He looked at her, pleading. "I'm sorry I got it wrong..."

It didn't look like he was winning. Hades was panicking now. This female was slightly larger than him and much more pronounced as far as muscle went. Had he been a true male, like his brothers, he could overpower her, but alas, he was a weak hunter. Stealth, teamwork and quickness were his only attributes. None of which would save him today. This fae could tear him to shreds. Lying, though dishonorable, seemed the only option in his adrenaline-crazed mind.

"Please don't hurt me! Please!" He sprawled himself onto the ground. "I have a family waiting for me at home. Pups, a mate! Lots of pups! Ah... Surely, as a female, you know the lure of pups! Please don't hurt me! On my the graves of my children!"

[Madey(Hatter)]

She took a breath and nodded towards him. Her eyes seemed to soften and she nodded once again at him. She took a step back from him when she knew it was enough to torture him. She gave a low snarl and grunted in satisfaction as he tried to plead for her not to hurt him. She took another deep relaxing breath. When he said he said things about him having a mate and pups she clenched her teeth and eyes in pain. She turned to leave fast. She couldn't handle it, tears started to slide down her cheek.

[gingerelicutter]

Pups...
You once had pups Alue
But they killed them
Can you still hear their screams?
Alue,
Help me
help you
They don't see.
Only I see.
They will never see

[Madey(Hatter)]

Alue let the words in her head soak up a bit. She nodded towards them and turned her dome towards the brute again and padded over to him. Her auds once again pinned to her skull in anger. "I had a mate! I had pups!!!!! They were murderd!!!!!" She snarled and lunged for his back, her sharp teeth grabbing any skin she could grab ahold of. She didn't know what came over her, was because she could never see their faces? That the voice in her head reminded her of their deaths and briging screams to her ears. She growled as she tightend her grip on her hold of whatever she had hold of. Tail rose in dominance.

[gingerelicutter]

Good, Alue
Let him feel the pain
He will never get you
But I know
Let me ease your pain

-Heh, sorry Dragga. The voice is evil.

[Peach]

Ooc; I'm confused, but they're fighting like we
planned, so I can't complain. =) The evil mind-voice
is freaking me out a bit, I must admit.

Hades was in the process of continuously flashing the whites of his eyes when the strange female cried out. The outburst seemed to hold a multitude of pain, yet when he focused his eyes once more, he saw nothing out of the ordinary. His plead for his 'family' seemed to have triggered the deaths of her own family.

The small, black male wolf watched in horror as the larger female pounced on him. She got a hold of the skin on his back, digging her teeth in hard. One of her canines touched a fresh wound he had gained two days ago from a deer. Hades squealed loudly, thrashing as he realized he was being attacked.

This was unusual. The females tended to relate to him, empathize for his position in his clan. They didn't jump at him and hurt him. That was the males' jobs.

"Stop!" He yelped, trying to kick her in the face with his hind legs. His black claws were extended, though they happened to be blunt because of his habit of climbing trees and sharpening them on rocks. He also bit out, but in a burst of self defense. His teeth connected with something fleshy and he bit down hard.

[Madey(Hatter)]

ooc- Yes it is pretty creepy, I will send you a PM about what's going on with Alue the the voices. No killing right? (making Sure) Alue couldn't beleive she just did that, she was just about to walk away now she was attacking the pleading little brute in front of her. What was happening to her? Was she becoming dangerous? When she knew that she had the skin on his back she let go and aimed for his neck with incredable speed. Her auds still pinned tightly to her skull. Tail still high in dominance as her claws dug into him. Bared teeth searching for his neck. She was different, she wasn't like other fae's she hardly thought like one. Her body mucsle and structure was of a brute, and a strong one at that, her teeth were sharp like just sharpend knives. Her talons were sharp as well, for she sharped her teeth and claws. She sharpend her teeth by nawing on strong bones, then sharpened her claws on trees and rocks. When she felt a sharp pain on her shoulder she gave a angerd *YIP* And turned her dome towards the brutes face, now that she knew he had her should his neck was vulnerable. She then striked at it like a rattle snake and hoped to get her jaws to secure it.

[Peach]

Ooc; I'd love to hear about Alue and her evil mind-voices!

And yes, no killing. I like my Hades. =) He can get really
battered, but I'd appreciate it if Alue left him able to walk...
Or limp at least. Haha!

Hades teeth buried themselves deep into the flesh of the female's shoulder, though he did not realize it until she gave an exclamation of pain. Immediately, he redrew his teeth, only to feel the extremely sharp teeth that had bit him before, attach themselves to his neck.

He could die like this. He knew he could. Slicing the neck was the standard procedure when bringing down large prey in the clan. It was a quick and messy death and always killed. The wolves could not tell specifically where the 'life vein' was, but they knew that the neck was a delicate place because of it. No one would aim at another wolf's neck unless they were hoping to kill. This female had gone that far.

Now, Hayd was on the ground once more, writhing like a newborn pup. The female hadn't sunk her teeth in far enough to puncture his 'life vein', but he could still feel drips of blood prickling his skin.

In one last futile attempt, he brought his front paws up under the fae's neck and pushed with all his might. She was much larger than him and stronger too, but if Hayd could just get her to step back for a moment, then he could turn and run. He had no intentions of fighting this wolf any longer.

He had much more damage than any one animal had ever inflicted on him before; his nose was still bruised, his neck felt sticky with blood, the wound on his side had been reopened, along with bite marks to match it. He felt as if one of his ribs had been broken in the initial attack, though he couldn't be sure. His paws all ached from the kicking, his joints stinging.

[Madey(Hatter)]

Blood tricked down her maw, she knew it was his. A low snarl came from her maw as she bit down a bit harder.

She knew how to kill, if she broke his windpipe he would die gasping vigeriously for breath. That was when she knew what she was doing. She released some preasure of his neck, but not enough for him to run.

She ignored his attemptes to scratch her. She growled and picked him up and tossed him, now he was able to run. She stood waiting for him to take off. Another snarl came from her maw.
