RP With Durnal. Join My Pack! (Wolves Only!!!)

[P r o m i s e r]

I whirled around and snarled, but I calmed to see Thorn, Mia, and Nia. I trotted over and greeted them with a dip of my head, and smiled happily at Thorn. I sighed and then spoke. "Though you are young Thorn, you will make a good Alpha. I will miss you." I said politely. Thorn was 3.7, and that was large for a two year old wolf. Smiling at the other wolves, I dipped my head again. "Hello. I am Durnal. The leader of Storm Pack. Its nice to meet you." I greeted friendly.

[Harley]

Thorn prepared to fight when Durnal snarled, but quickly calmed. The young female with the crippled leg clung to Thorn's side, hiding behind him when Durnal approached. The pack simply nodded when Durnal greeted them, as if they were nervous. "I can't ambush you, if you were fearing that. I won't let them to do that to themselves." Thorn turned, nuzzling each wolf gently before nuzzling his new little sister.

[P r o m i s e r]

"Its OK you guys. I wont hurt you or your Alpha." I said gently. I gently picked the pup and put him on my back, giving him a wolfy ride. I soon let him down and then smiled warmly. "I hope you stat longer Thorn. I gonna... Miss you." I said. I didn't want them to go, but I cant stop Thorn from becoming Alpha. I tried my best to hold back tears, but one fell down my cheek. "Can I have a moment." I asked. I dropped my head, thinking about Thorn leaving and never seeing him again.

[Harley]

"They aren't afraid of you. Just nervous, is all." Thorn nuzzled the female with a crippled leg gently, sighing as Durnal cried. "You'll miss my sisters, not me. I am the pup that backtalked you, that I am sure you will not miss." It almost made Thorn mad. Was he trying to guilt hm into leaving his sisters behind? Durnal didn't seem like the kind of wolf that would do that, but he had to make sure.

[P r o m i s e r]

I sighed and turned my head around, half crying and half smiling. "I'm going to miss all of you... Yes you back-talked me, and I'm not gonna miss that, but I'll miss you Thorn. You were kinda right... I guess I can be a bit proud sometimes, and I'm sorry for that. I'm just so used to fighting other wolves, since I have been doing it almost my entire life. I am sorry Thorn... I don't want you guys to go, and I wish you, your sisters, your mother, and the new wolves you have would stay in my pack. I will miss you very much. Its gonna be like watching my father die, or watch Blaze go with my previous pack members when I left them to start my own pack." I explained, still upset.
Honestly I didn't want either of them to go... I was going to miss Thorn's free spirit and his stubbornness, and I will miss Mimic's confidence and her strength, Mia's healing skills... Everything about all of them. Obviously I was never very pleased with how rude and dis-respectful Thorn could be, but I was sure that most of the time it was for a reason.
Thorn was large for a two year old wolf, and 3.7 was obviously large for two years. All I knew is that he will get between 4.3 and 4.9. Trotting back over to Thorn, I pressed my muzzle against his flank, and I sighed heavily. "I will miss you Thorn. I don't want you to leave, but that is your choice. You still have a few months to make up your mind. At this moment I could want nothing more than to have you and your members to stay in my pack." I said warmly, with my green eyes beaming with sadness and grief. "And I couldn't watch you leave without me saying sorry about everything I have said and done." I continued. I sat back down and looked up at the sky. It was already night. Finding the biggest and brightest star, I immediately thought about my father, and I could feel more sadness. A flashback of my fathers death came back... Seeing that horrible human stabbing my father in the chest, made me shiver. And then flashbacks of my mothers abuse to me, came back. "I will never EVER forgive my mother for what she has done to me. She made my life hell." I said quietly, only enough for everyone to hear. "After I left my pack I had to live and walk through storms, blizzards, pouring rain, thunder and lightening, hurricanes, and tornadoes. I had to fight, hunt, heal, cure, defend for my life just to survive. Though I was strong and fearless, with much confidence in myself, I thought I would die in days without my father or brother by my side." I continued, getting a bit off topic. I turned around and faced my mothers demon, with no fear showing. "Look at all of these wolves. You are so foolish. All of you!" She cursed.
Snarling, I snapped at her and leaped. But she disappeared. "OK, I admit it. I do fear her, but only because I think she might hurt you guys. She can harm me all she wants, but I am afraid of her harming you guys. There I said it. I am... Afraid." I said bravely. "I will fight to the death for everyone in my pack. Even you Thorn. So come on out you filthy creature!" I said to Thorn and the demon.
She re-appeared, and snarled. I leaped at her tearing leathery flesh from her flank, and she grabbed me by my front leg. I yowled and slashed her in the face, making her fall to the ground. But she got back up and slashed me in the face, knocking me down. When my vision was back, she was attacking Thorn. I roared and bashed into her with my head and for paws. But she bit me on the shoulders, which caused me to lose my grip. She leaped on my back and bit me in the back of the neck, trying to get a killing bite. But I fought back and whipped her off my back, and grabbed her by the neck. Crushing her neck I killed the demon, but this soul would be back. For a demon can return after being killed, but I would fight her, even if it meant death. Turning around, I checked Thorn, and found a gash in his shoulder. "You OK?" I asked.

[Harley]

Thorn turned his head, refusing to look at Durnal. "I gathered these wolves, and they agreed to follow me. I do not care about only being an alpha, but the responsibility of being one. Being treated like an adult, not a pup. Fighting my own battles. That is something I do not get here, none of my family does, except for nia." Thorn backed away when the spirit of durnal's mother appeared. Watching Durnal fight with her awoke a rage inside of him, and he fought visciously against her until Durnal murdered her. "I am fine. But I would like to talk to you privatly." Thorn quietly told his pack members to follow Mimic, and he motioned to Durnal to follow him.

He reached the edge of a cliff, and sighed.

[P r o m i s e r]

I nodded and followed him to the cliff sides, and stopped beside him. Looking up at the stars for a few seconds I turned my head to face Thorn. "What seems to be the problem Thorn?" I asked politely before turning my gaze back on the stars, waiting for him to reply.

[Harley]

Thorn shook his head. "I just wanted you to know... if my mother stays behind... that you have to promise to take good care of her. I will wait until Storm is old enough to make a descision, and that might be the last we ever see of each other." He thought for a moment, and shrugged. "Did you know Mimic can sing?"

[P r o m i s e r]

I smiled at him and gazed at m paws for a few seconds then spoke softly. "I promise I will. But will...." I stopped and felt torn in 2 when he said we may not see each other again. "You try and visit every once ad a while. It wot be the same without your presence." I chocked out the last words trying my bes not to cry.
"I'm sorry... I can be a bit emotional sometimes." I apologized.

[Harley]

"Durnal.... I can try, but... I have a pack to lead, and I cannot make them all move like that. What if I left them unattended? Who would guard them?" Thorn sighed, closing his eyes. "There are certain responsiblities I have, and you know that. I promise I will do the best I can, but...."

A soft voice startled Thorn, and he glanced behind him to see his sister. "Thorn, I understand why this is hard for you." Mimic said, nuzzling him. "And Durnal... I understand you will miss him, but it only makes it that much harder for all of us to leave." Her tail wagged softly as she hummed, leaning against her brother. "Don't guilt him in to staying. He won't be happy." Mimic whispered, nuzzling Durnal as well. "Thorn can't be ruled, won't be ruled. He refuses to. Face it Durnal, you wouldn't enjoy being in his place." She said softly, looking over at her brother. "Can you understand? His need to be free? To be free of an Alpha?" Her beautiful blue eyes stared into his, an almost hypnotic look to them. "Try." She broke her stare, glancing over at Thorn. "And yes I can sing, not very well though."

[P r o m i s e r]

(I'm just gonna say Durnal's pups were born a few days before Nikolite's because I'm getting bored of waiting.)

I smiled warmly at Mimic, and gave her a soft lick on her cheek. "I understand very well why he doesn't want to be ruled by another, I'm just going to miss him. And all of you if you all go." I replied softly. Glancing at the mountains where my horrible past lays, I soon glanced back at Mimic and smiled. "I bet your a fine singer." I said warmly.
Suddenly my 3 pups Dakota, Genocide, and Braekon came bounding over to me and Thorn. "Daddy! Daddy! I caught a rabbit!" Dakota squealed happily. Smiling at my oldest pup, who looked exactly like me, I praised him. "Very good Dakota!" I cheered.
Genocide looked exactly like Pelican, but she had my emerald gaze. And Braekon was a light brown pup with yellow eyes.
Since my pups never got to meet Thorn, they bounded over to him and sniffed his paws. Dakota had my personality to... He was protective, strong, and brave. So he was biting Thorn, and the other 2 nipping. "Grrrrr... Who are you? And what are you doing with Daddy and Mimic?" Dakota asked fiercely.

[Harley]

Mimic stepped away from him, shaking her head. "Stop saying that, Durnal. We will miss you too, but making Thorn feel bad won't do anything."

Thorn, on the other hand, watched Durnal's pups with a light gaze. "Just keep them away from Storm, they might hurt her. Not all wolves are as gentle as you." He nudged the pup that biting him away, and glanced up at durnal. "and perhaps you should control them."

[P r o m i s e r]

Giving a laugh before picking my pups up, I put them by my paws to calm them. "Its OK you 3... This is Thorn. He will become an Alpha once he's old enough." I told my pups. "And they already know Storm, and they know better not to hurt her. I'm sure they would never mean to hurt anyone unless necessary." I guaranteed. My pups were pleased to meet another wolf that will soon be an Alpha.
"Wow! Its so cool to meet another Alpha!" yipped Genocide, the female pup. "You look a lot like our Uncle Blaze... Hey Dad, when I'm older will I become an Alpha like you?" Asked Dakota.
I smiled at my biggest and strongest pup, before saying, "I'm sure you will son." I said softly. Glancing at Thorn, I smiled warmly before looking over at my younger brother Blaze. "Thorn... You look so much like Blaze. And you remind me of him when we were young." I said.
"Daddy... Why isn't Grandpa and Grandma with us?" Dakota asked. "Um... You will find out soon, Dakota. Its a secret I try my best to keep to myself." I replied, with the memory of my father Talon. A great leader... He did not believe in un-necessary violence. He welcomed loners into the pack.
"Did you guys know I'm half Dire Wolf?" I asked.

(Thanks for replying Harley. I was starting to miss roleplaying with you.)

[Harley]

Thorn flicked his tail, and looked at Durnal. "I am old enough, durnal. I'm waiting for Storm to be stable enough to travel. I found a place far away from the hunters that used to terroize this pack." He motioned with his head towards the direction he wanted to go. "And in case you didn't notice, I have my pack already." The younger wolf barked, and the wolves that he had brought appeared by his side, watching Durnal and his pups warily. "I am only waiting for Storm." Thorn raised an eyebrow at durnal. "I didn't know Blaze was pure white." his tone was dripping with sarcasm.

[Harley]

Storm-

[P r o m i s e r]

Nodding a hello to Thorn's future pack, I turned my gaze to Thorn. Anger filled me, but I controlled it by taking a deep breath. "What I meant was, he was a lot like you. Your personalities were very similar. Slightly stubborn, out-going, free-spirited." I replied to his sarcastic comment.

Blaze~

I trotted up to Durnal and watched as his pups came bounding over to me. "Uncle Blaze!" They all called. The 3 puppies leaped at me and playfully nipped me, and rolled me over. "OK, OK! Y-You guys stop it! Ah it tickles! Ah- Ow!" I yelped. Genocide has bitten my tail with her sharp little teeth. "Genocide doesn't just look like her mother... But she acts like her mother to." I said licking my tail.
Durnal padded over and flicked his tail towards Genocide as a warning. "Genocide, no biting." Durnal growled lightly. He smiled at me before saying, "Yes, Genocide is much like Pelican." He said happily.

Durnal~

I heard the snap of a stick, and perked up my ears. Barking for the pups to go back to the den, I watched them scamper back to safety as a large brute leaped out. I snarled loudly at the white male, and attacked him without thinking. Blaze was attacking its hind legs, while I tore flesh from its shoulders. He got my attention my knocking Blaze away, and flung me off before running and bashing into Thorn, and leaving him clinging on the cliff sides.
"Go get Thorn!" Blaze yelped as he distracted the brute. Dashing to the cliffs, I grabbed Thorn by his scruff and helped him up. "You deserve a fight. Lets go kick some loner ass!" I barked, and we fled towards the battle.
Together the 3 of us brought down the brute, and threw his body over the edge of the cliff.

(I thought Storm was black. :\)

[Harley]

thorn gave off a cocky smile, and licked Mimic. "Take them back to the dens, please. Take Storm with you." His sister obeyed, and his new pack followed her willingly back to the main area. He laughed as Blaze was attacked by his nephews and niece. "Glad there is only one of those in my family." thorn nuzzled Genocide, taking a liking to her already.

the white loner caught him off guard, and he hooked his hind legs into the edge of the cliff, snarling as he tried to get back up. Relief flooded through him when Durnal pulled him up, and nodded. The younger wolf watched the broken and bleeding body that lay at the bottom, blood dripping from his muzzle. "good riddance."

[Harley]

(oops, yeah she is. I'll get a new pic real fast)

[P r o m i s e r]

Nodding an agreement, but hearing his cocky comment on Genocide I sneered lightly at him. "Are you saying that my pup biting the only related family I have is OK?" I challenged, but calmed down. "Oh never mind. Shes a pup, and she'll learn." I said with calmness in my voice.
But then I noticed that the loner had put a deep gash right above his left eye. "Thorn your eye." I said in a bit of shock, before licking it clean.
I was not treating him like a pup, but I was trying to keep it from getting infected, so I ran to the den and grabbed a wad of cobwebs and a healing plant. "Eat the plant while I put the cobwebs on your wound." I said...
Later that night, when the sky was full with stars I crept out of the den and laid under the stars. Glancing over at the wolves that Thorn had brought back to the pack until Storm is at least a few months older, I sighed heavily. "Its a shame how all of these wolves have been treated as loners." I said to myself. "Yes it is a shame." A familiar dark voice said.
As I whipped around I recognized the demon of my mother, and I snarled warningly. "Its a pity how all of these wolves are weak and helpless." She sneered. "You were killed by an Elder, who was 10! Most of the wolves here, including myself, have survived through storms, blizzards, hurricanes, tornadoes, shall I go on?" I snarled.
She chuckled darkly before saying, "You are so much like your father. Always trying to be the best, and strongest." She shot back. "Nobody ever said I was the best! But I am the strongest here... Not in every way, but in brute strength I am. Now what do you want from me!?" I barked.
"Your soul!" She said. Leaping at the demon, I rolled her over with my claws digging into her chest. She clawed me in the face and as I yowled she kicked me off of her. Fighting back, I pinned her to the ground and snarled in her face. "I may not have 9 lives, but I sure as hell fight like I do. I will not give up until this nightmare is over!" I snarled, before crushing her neck. Walking back into the cave, I fell into a deep sleep.

Dream

As I padded through the forest, I looked up at the beautiful sight before coming to a stop. There she was, the girl of my dreams. Pelican. She came running towards me, before she turned into my nasty demon mother. "NOOOO!!!" I yelped, before snapping out of my sleep.

Panting, I looked over at Pelican before realizing it was a dream. "Why does every dream I have always turn into a nightmare?" I asked myself. Looking over at Nai, I awoke her and said, "Nai. Sorry to wake you, but I need some comfort. Do you mind stargazing for a while?" I asked.

[Harley]

Thorn growled at Durnal. "Your translating skills suck! I was saying that I was happy we had only one rambunctious pup in the family!" He jerked away before Durnal could apply anything to his wounds. "I'll let my mother do that!" He strode away from the Alpha, suddenly very angry. The pack and his family greeted him happily, mobbing him with a series of licks and happy whines. Nia licked the wound clean, and chewed a piece of plant and placing it above his eye before trapping it down with cobwebs. "I'll change that later tonight."

[Shadow-Walker]

Shadow sat in the background watching the whole ordeal until every body left. She let out a sigh and walked back over to a pine tree and layed down with her head in her paws. She slept soundly that night until she was woken up by another fight. Her head shot up as she saw durnal and his mother's demon fighting when everything was finished and calmed den once more she layed her head on her paws and fell back asleep on my to be woken up a few hours later hearing durnal screaming. She stood up with a huff and walked a little bit before shaking out her fur. She was going night hunting.

[P r o m i s e r]

Realizing that Nai wouldn't wake up, I felt her heartbeat just to be sure. She was only asleep... Seeing Thorn asleep I regretted what I said earlier that day, and I hated it when he was angry with me. "I'm such a screw up... I may be skilled but I cant keep a friendship with Thorn." I said to myself, feeling depressed. Licking my paws, I tasted something weird.
I looked at my paw and saw blood, and sighed...
In the morning I yawned before seeing Thorn already awake outside. Here it goes I thought to myself, before padding out of the den and sitting next to Thorn. "Hey... I just wanted to apologize for what I said yesterday. I didn't know what you meant, until you explained it. I'm sorry Thorn, I didn't mean to get you angry." I apologized, hoping for forgiveness.
Grabbing a couple rabbits, I dropped one next to Thorn and hungrily ate mine.

[Harley]

Thorn felt Storm snuggle up between his paws, and he smiled down at her before returning his gaze to the forest. He heard Durnal, and turned his head to look at the Alpha. "Just, stop Durnal. We are going to make each other angry until the day I leave, and that day approaches quickly. That is why there are no two alpha males in a pack. They can't and won't get along. It is only natural, and it won't change." Thorn nudged the rabbit over to Storm, watching her pounce on its back and take it's neck her jaws, twisting and pulling until she was satisfied.

[Shadow-Walker]

Shadow returned shortly after day break with blood staining he jawls from her recent kill. As she walked from the forest edge she layed down and cleaned her paws off after licking the blood from her jawls. She looked up to see durnal, storm, and Thorn. She stood back up and walked over to them then seeing storm attack the dead rabbit. "How are you guys doing?"

[Harley]

Thorn smiled at Shadow, licking some of the blood from her muzzle. "Not as good as we should be doing."
