Lying down in the meadow with her eye's clamped shut Whisper felt exposed. To soothe the alarm in her she pricked her ears up to listen if anyone was approaching , and if it were to be two legged she would feel the vibrations. The clumsy humans couldn't sneak up on a squirrel if they wanted to.
Opening her eye's she squinted a little as the sun came into view , the rays landed right on her making her stick out a bit. But for some reason Whisper never really cared in the meadow.
Usually wanting to blend in. She was to relaxed though , so nothing bothered her as it would of. the soft vibrant grass felt as if she was laying on a cloud here. And the flowers strong but sweet smell matched it.
Not to mention now that the ray was on her she felt warm in the autumn's breeze. Whisper loved autumn , the colors change and fall. Just as she does in a way. Changing her coat for the winter , it grows thicker. And falling into the beauty it holds.
Whisper layed over to her side and opened her eye's wider staring at a blue bell flower. Studying it over and over again.

Conri had been out for a while, he was hoping to find some sort of remnants from someone elses meal, but of course there was none. He found something else entirly. He stalked forward as he caught the scent of the female, it sparked his interest for some reason. He followed the scent till he got her. He then stooped and watched carfully. His breathing slowing, and his mind becoming more and more alert. He stepped forward, feeling like he was stalking prey, but he didn't want her to be frightend with him. He slows a little and then just stops, laying on his stomach and crawling forward, keeping his head down and watching her, intent on not spooking her.

Hearing Conri Whisper's ears shot up and she growled lowly springing into a standing position , her ears wern't pinned back though , and her sharp white teeth were not in veiw as they would of if she had been snarling. She wasn't blind , Whisper could tell he was no threat , yet you always had to be careful...she always wanted to be careful. Whisper was wide awake and alert now , standing up straight and tall , her growling ceased as she studyed him over. Her eye's darted up and down , until they landed on his eye's and she spoke. "Who are you?" Whisper's voice was soft yet clear but you could tell she was insecure around a unkown male. Her brown eye's showed a flicker of curiousity , but she held her posture and tried to present as confident as she possibley could. She was smaller than the male and weighed less , so she was a bit intimidated. But against her shy nature when someone was near she didn't know , whisper would always try to be the one that asked the questions , especially around a brute. Her light gray fur was starting to get thicker for the upcoming winter , it was chilly now a days and it was needed no doubt. Her claws were short and sharp , and her eye's showed innocence. Sometimes Whisper reminded wolves of a shy pup....softening her stare at Conri she looked past the brute torwars the surrounding forest. The tree's stood tall but got thicker the more it passed the meadow , it always thinned near the meadow. There were branches and twigs spread over the grass in which was covered in the mornings dew. And birds chattered up above.

Conri could tell he had startled her, and felt bad about it, but he was to curious to pass up the oppertunity. He rarley ever ran into a lone wolf, and running into a female made it all the more intreaging. He stood up slowly, not taking his eyes off of the young female. He was taller than her, but also thinner. His coat was still light as if it were summer, though the colors seemed to be darkening his coat never thickened much. Which made nomadic life all the more harder. But he managed dealing with the cold. He looked her over werely, and then looked back at her face.

Whisper watched him stand up and stiffened , she was till all to aware and in a way felt threatened , unlike most fae's she liked to observe them , their personality before talking to them. So in a way she knew them already.....randomley talking to one was not like her , she didn't like it. "Who are you" Whisper repeated , he hadn't replied to her. She breathed in the cool air and breathed out , her breath showed in the air , like smoke. Whisper had only seen smoke once in her life , when a fire got hold of the forest. But it was put out quick by two leggeds who showed up after it had spread.....the only thing Whisper was thankful for about them...Watching him stand up she felt small , he was taller....but it was hard to tell who was in better shape. Waiting for the answer to her question Whisper waited patiently. She had patience , and a lot of it at that.

"Conri, you?" He had answered, taking the chance to move a little closer to her. He wanted to make sure she was infact the female that owned the scent ealier in the woods. And she was. He tilted his head a little to the side stepping closer again. He was only about 2 feet away now. He lowers his head a little so as it was at level hight with hers.

"Whisper..." She breathed in again , her nose was runny from the constant cold against her. Sniffling a little she watched the male move closer. Tensed up a little she didn't move back nor forward. How could she have not noticed him coming? Whisper felt dissapointed in herself , she'd have to fix that. Whisper was always tring to perfect herself...watching the brute , Conri was it she watched him tilt his head and lower down to her level. She felt like a pup having someone else get down to her level. Loosening up a bit she shook off the suspicion. Wondering how long it'd be till he said something else in this small talk whisper wondered if it'd turn into an actual conservation.

He nodded. He liked the name Whisper, it was pretty. He then sat down infront of her, and tilted his head the other way. "Why are you out here all alone?" He asked her, not wanting to be pushy, but he didn't want to be attacked by a pack any minute. And he was tired of being a lone. He wanted to be able to have somone else there to count on. But he wasn't about to go crazy on her, begging her to not chase him off. He would just stay if she wanted him to.

Whisper shrugged a little , she looked won at the grass not quite likeing to say the words. They always tasted funny in her mouth , like a wolf isn't suppose to say the words. Unatural maybe? "I like being alone...." She said , it wasn't normal for most wolves. WOlves are social animals that travel in a pack...rely on eachother. A few of the reasons Whisper even joined a pack was to be protected and maybe for those random times she actually did feel alone there would always be someone close by. Looking up at the brute she noticed he was a bit nervous maybe. "You can stay if you want though , its not like I dislike being alone I just prefer it." Whisper said , and another thing was she couldn't exactly chase anyone off unless she felt majorly threatened. It was a rule she made for herself , to keep within her limits. Whisper was a very self contained wolf. Sitting down she had concluded that the possibility of him being a threat had gone down to -5. Which was a good thing. Whisper loved being in the meadow to , in the open. Even if it made her feel vulnerable , there are times when you feel vulnerable besides in the open. So she had learned to just ignore the feeling , yet still be on the look out. Looking at Conri she realized she had never heard the name before , but it didn't bother her. She never really learned the names of most wolves anyway....she never minded company though.

He coulden't help but feel exited about that. He could feel his tail beginning to wag, but he did't like it so he stood and sat again, this time sitting on his tail though. "Thanks." He said a little nervously. He didn't mind being a lone, it just brought a lot of insecurity with it, and that he didn't like. But he did like the idea of being able to stay with somone else. It brough him comfort, and it brougt a little bit of light to his eyes. "So..." He says, feeling a little awkward, though he was still exited about being with someone.

Whisper looked at him say "Sooo" just because the male was here didn't mean her plans were going to be subsided. He was kind of like a apprentice following her around...."Were going to go hunting in the Forest , keep low and stay quiet when we get there ok?" Whisper said as clear as a bell , it was more of a order rather than question. With thay being done she spun around and padded up to the evergreen forest at fast pace. Her claws would dig into the dirt everystep she made. Once they got to the forest and past the wide vast meadow Whisper stopped and looked back at Conri. She looked around and breathed in for any scents , a deer had passed through no less than a few minute's ago. Following the scent and zigg zagging through the tree's Whisper looked quite Elegant. Although she prefered to be a lone , she wasn't annoyed by his presence rather optomistic. It may turn out to be a positive with him around but the negatives still lingered in the air. Whisper had to be as careful as possible , stepping over the tiny breakable twigs so they don't snap or make of any noise. There were various types of prey in the woods each with a uniqe tasting to them , but deer had always been her favorite , even as a pup. Swift on her feet the deer came into veiw. It was a doe , bending over to munch on the grass. No fawns apparently , thats good. Crouching low it was as if Whisper was hugging the ground , she took a step forward and kept her eye on the prize.

Conri had been swiftly behind her, keeping low until he saw the prize. His mind then went into hunting mode. He stalked low to the ground as if he were just laying down.Taking in a few deep breaths the scent of the doe filled up inside him. He knew he was hungry though he didn't want others to see him as too weak to hunt. He knew though that with her here they would be able to do it. He looked around, sadly he was caught in a circle of crunchy leaves, but he would jump over them if he had to.

Whisper looked back at conri and then on the deer , stalking forward again she made sure to surpass the crucny leaves , each one of her steps being thought out and then put to action , getting ready to pounce the deer heard her and lifted its smooth brown head , it's eye's darted around in fear , jumping from the bushes her claws extended Whisper was in full action scrambling to match the deer's speed , jumping again once she was close enough her claws dug into the deer's skin , she bit down hard and the dee'rs rump slunk down and it fell over. She was relying on Conri to kill it by biting the neck whilst she held the doe down. It was like a loud musical with growling and leaves crunching , the only things moving really were the doe , Whisper , and Conri. There wasn't much wildlife around now , now that the wolves were here , and hunting for the matter of fact. Getting a better grip on the doe Whisper held her down the best as she could , deer's were ticky little things , and they go into shock/panic quite easily , and this doe seemed to be thrashing. Once or twice Whisper got kicked by her back hooves , but only once did a low whimper escape her throat. The doe had kicked Whisper in her side at her ribs , luckily she didn't think any of them were broken....

Conri sprung from behind the bush jumping over the doe, and quikly turning as he ahd avoided a head but from the doe he then grabbed at her neck with her mouth, his canins sinking into her throat as his head slashed a little. He had heard a snap, and knew that not only cutting of her breathing he had snapped her neck. He dropped the now dead prey and looked at Whisper. He had heard her whimper. "Are you ok?" He asked with concern burning in his eyes now. He didn't like that she had been hurt by the thrashing doe. It angered him slightly. But he didn't let that emotion show as easily as he let the concern show, in his light evergreen eyes.

Once he killed the doe by biting into her neck she immidiatley released her grip. Blood was on her mouth and claws , but to her it was some kind of pride in having made the kill , with Conri of course....he was usful in some ways. Backing away from the kill Whisper felt a sharp pain go through her side. Whimpering to low for Conri to hear she looked at him , it took a few seconds for her to get what he asked. "Yea...." Whisper mummbled , she was fine....she had to be fine. The prize had be won. The lifless body of the doe lay before her , the teeth marks showed like white on black , blood oozing out. And the smell was getting strong of a frsh kill , yet no animals would come and try to steal from them hopefully , sitting down Whisper panted a little , it took a lot out of you , for sure. But her hunger out ranked the thirst , standing up she smiled at their meal. "Let's eat!" Whisper walked forward , the pain was still there , but she probably just bruised it , nothing major. Although there was s light scratch from the edge of the hoof , she was fine. Biting into the meat she jerked it away breaking it off and eating it. It tasted just as she had remembered , deer had been short on supply so for awhile now Whisper had been eating small meals , so she was happy to finally have a deer. Her tail wagged slightly as she ate , everything was still a little quiet , but birds were starting to chatter and she could hear a bit of rustling from other animals.

Conri nodded though he wasn't sure if he should believe her. He still worried for her. Once she started eating he also began. Sinking his teeth into the fresh kill and tearing at the meat. He was finally eating a real meal. Rather than just little bunnies, he was eating something with more meat, and more taste. And that felt great in his stomach. He kept tearing at the flesh and eating the meat. It was filling though, and he was filling up quikly.

Whisper ate slowly , savoring the taste. She was hardly ever in a rush , lifting up her muzzle from the kill Whisper licked around her muzzle. The blood was on her fur , but it wouldn't stain it. She's probably wash it off in the lake later. Sitting down Whisper lifted up her paw and began cleaning them , all four. She hated being filthy , it felt as if she was a poor wolf when she was. Her stomache had been filled up quite quickly , and she'd probably burry the remainings later. Save what wast not right? Or itleast the saying was something close to that , Whisper was never good with sayings that she didn't admire.....Once she was done cleaning/washing her paws whisper looked up at Conri , he was somehow gaining her trust , very slowly however.....Whisper didn't trust many wolves. Let along males....maybe they could just go on and wash off in the lake now.....when he was done eating that was.....shaking her coat of and dirt pieces or grass , or anything for that matter Whisper stood up , ready to do something else , the pain in her side still stung , and Whisper flinched...it hurt. Badly. But she wasn't about to look weak......It wasn't broken , but what about fractured...?

Conri had finished quikly. Licking all the blood off his lips and nose. He then stood up as she had. But sadly he knew she was injured. He could see it in her eyes. She was hurt, and he knew it. He wished he could help her, but if she didn't want him to know he couldn't really do anything. He sighs gently, as to have made it just sound like any normal exhale. He inhales deeply and looks at her. Working hard to hide the concern in his eyes. "So what next?" He ask's curiously. Flicking his ears a little to sound of something in the tree's behind him, by the smell it was just a squirrel, but it was still somewhat annoying.

Whisper noticed the concern in his eye's , as much as he tried to hide it she could tell , just as he could tell she was hurt as much as she herself try to hide it. Usually Whisper wouldn't try to hide things , she'd admit , but Whisper wasn't so sure still , you would think she'd more concerned around females from her history and all but in fact Whisper had once been forced to mate , she had miscarried though....so the pups were never born and it scarred her from males all that much more...looking and acting hurt was all that more a weakness than just being hurt. Glancing at Conri she looked torwars the hot springs...that would feel good , especially to the hmm possible fracture maybe.....and it'd wash of the blood....perfect. Turning around she answered smooth and calmly , but a tad discomfort was hidden under her voice "The Hot Springs. In neatural Territory." Whisper replied , she usually traveled out of the territory occasionally , not anything new to her , but the risk of being without her pack bothered her , itleast she had Conri....better than being alone......Walking in the direction of the place Whisper had the pain return every now again , her pace would change when they came but once they were over she'd quicken up...keeping her eye's peeled open and ears on alert incase anything or one was to be passing by whisper tried to concentrate on other things. A few flowers of red , yellow , and purple were spread around , sperate from eachother , it added a splash of color to the woods , which were mainly green and brown....nothing new. The Sky was her favorite when it came to color's , bright blue , white , gray (Storm) , yellow (Sun) , and every other color sometimes after it rains (Rainbow)....It had so many , and you never had to travel anywhere to see it....

Conri had nodded and followed her. He looked around. It was nice out, he loved the 'changing season'. It's nice breeze blows in the pretty colors, and the darkness always faded in faster. For some reason darkness brought him security. He felt warm and safe in the darkness. He watched her as they walked. He wished badly he could help, but he coulden't. He lowers his head, his ears going back as he walked. He was still trying to think of ways to help her.

Whisper trudged through the leaves , unwillingly against the pain. She could sense Conri's feeling torward her injury , it bothered her. She knew how to heal perfectly , Why else had she picked the Hot Springs? It was a place where wolves heal their wounds , so in a way he was already helping her by agreeing to go and coming along , like in the old sayings Lando's Hot Springs held healing power's and Whisper planned on using them on her rib.....Twitched her ear back she listened to see how far Conri was behind her , but soon caught sound of something else , a gun shot. It was so far away though , so hardly anyone could probably hear it. Every once in a while gunshots go off , nothing new.....but it always sent a chill up her spine...just the thought of what would happen if you got struck by the dreaded bullets was enough to quicken her pace , even if it wasn't even coming her way.....Whisper slowed down however once it became unnecisary , especially when you have the constant pain. Almost to the Hot Springs WHisper lifted her head and smelled , they were out of the territory now.....The Gawain Territory that is....

When Conri heard the gun shot he was quik to catch up to her. He was now staying right next to her, as the sound of gun fire always scared him. He could feel his heart rate exelerate, as it filled the sounds of his light foot falls. He kept his head low, his ears pinned back and his tail down. He didn't want to seem weak but he couldn't stand the sounds of gun shots. He noticed the shift in scents once they were out of the Gawain Territory. The packs scent was less full, and now it wasn't as threatening either.
