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

[P r o m i s e r]

I whipped around and snarled at Avalon. "Avalon. This is Thorn... An Alpha." I hissed out the word Alpha. "He is a friend of this pack..." I added.

[Stormsong]

Avalon relaxed. "Oh sorry I didn't know," he grumbled.

[P r o m i s e r]

"Its alright." I replied before resting my gaze back on Thorn. "What is it we must know?" I asked.

[Harley]

Thorn licked each of the pups, laughing. "I hope your father brings you to play with Storm sometime." He padded up to Durnal, careful not to step on any of his offspring. "It is not.. pleasant news. I would prefer if you and I... spoke somewhere more private.. without intruding ears." He glanced over at Blaze and the pups, grinning when his eyes rested on the younger ones. The brute thought carefully for a moment, and shook his head. "It will be no tragedy to any of you anyway. You, Durnal, it may be. Not Pelican, or especially Blaze." Thorn was tempted to bare his razor sharp fangs at Blaze, but decided against it. "But I would prefer if the pups did not hear this." He cast a dull look at Avalon, as if his hostility amused him.

[P r o m i s e r]

"Alright... Lets go to cliffsides, where its quiet." I said before leading him to the cliff. "What has happened?" I asked curiously. "Um, just a wonder. Have you seen Shadow at all? I feel terrible about everything." I admitted.

[Harley]

Thorn sat beside him, a tear slipping down his muzzle. "It is about my mother. Nia. She is.. well... sick. She knows far more than Pelican..and there is no cure. I have not determined anything. She told me. My mother will be dead in a matter of months.." His voice cracked, and he turned his face away so Durnal wouldn't see the stream of tears that he produced. "That is why I said what I did about Blaze. He drove her away a like a rabid coyote. As if she meant nothing to him. I felt you deserved to know." Thorn grated his teeth together. "And Shadow. Shadow is with me now. One of my own has taken a liking to her. By this time next year, she will probably be raising a family of her own." He turned to look at Durnal, wiping the salty tears away with his tongue. "Storm seems to be on equal terms with Shadow. I think Storm... hates Pelican. What Pelican did is branded into her mind, and it can't be removed."

[P r o m i s e r]

"Oh Thorn... Blaze didn't want to drive her away, he was just sticking up for me because he feels that I shouldn't be spoken to like that." I replied, with sadness in my emerald eyes. "I'm so sorry about Nia... And I'm glad Shadow is safe. Could you tell her that I say hi, and I'm glad she is OK." I added, still feeling terrible.
My gaze rested on my paws as tears fell on them. "I know Nia knows more than Pelican... And I regret Pelican killing that Fae, but I'm her mate. I could never yell at a Fae I love so much." I explained, hoping I said the right thing. "I hope you don't mind if I tell Blaze about what his happening. Blaze is drowning with regret in himself for yelling at Nia, and if he finds out he will do anything to try and help." I continued.

[Harley]

Thorn pushed down his ever rising temper. "Nia was telling the truth. He was defending you from the truth?" He gave Durnal a quizzical look. "Being sorry won't help. I thank you though... And I will. Trust me." Thorn's shoulders trembled as he listened to the alpha. "Pelican killed an injured female with five unborn pups! She was apart of my pack and I don't know how happy you would be if I killed one of yours.. I don't care how much you love her Durnal, if you don't confront her about what she did... then I will!" His head snapped around at the mention of Blaze. "I do mind... he can find out after her death. Durnal, you are the only one who has done me or my pack no wrong. You can come onto my territory, but no one else. The pups, yes.. but no one else. I hope you can understand."

[P r o m i s e r]

"I understand clearly Thorn... And I apologize for Pelican's behavior, but she was treated terribly as a pup. Its hard to explain." I said, trying to calm Thorn down. "But there's a difference between Blaze and Pelican. Blaze was sticking up for me, because he cares about me and loves me like a brother would. Pelican on the other paw can be very snappy, and had a horrible puphood. I hope you understand what I'm trying to tell you. She was treated the way my mother treated me, but by both her parents." I sighed heavily.

[Harley]

"And that gives her the excuse to murder five pups? No. It doesn't. Have you ever seen Nia's scars? Her slight limp? The way she flinches whenever someone moves to quickly towards her? She told me, Durnal. What she had to suffer through when she was a puppy is similar to what you did. Did her father want a frail, sick pup? No. He beat her just as your mother did you. If she had died, then I would be dead. Then Shadow would be laying in a cave right now dying because of it. My mother was abused, but do you see her murdering defenseless faes? And snappy doesn't even begin to cover it." His breathing was heavy, the rage in his eyes very clear. "Don't apologize for her. She can apologize for herself. If she is an alpha, she better start acting like one." Thorn ran his claws over a stone, trembling. "Blaze... my mother's heart was broken. I don't think a simple sorry can fix that." He looked around, biting back a sharp remark. "Bring Blaze. I wish to give him the knews myself. Unless you would like to and I will fill in the blanks myself."

[P r o m i s e r]

I nodded and bolted to get Blaze, and returned with him in only a couple minutes. "Thorn wants to speak to you for a moment." I told Blaze. "What is it Thorn?" He asked.

[Harley]

"I'm not going to sugar coat this. Nia is going to die. Durnal already knows I have forbidden you from my territory because of what you did to her. I won't allow her to speed up the process by making her way back. I doubt she would want to." Thorn growled coldly, glaring at his mothers former mate. "She is sick. There is no cure. Shadow will raise Storm when she passes." His voice cracked a little, and he whipped his head around to Durnal. "Answer my former statement will you? How Pelican is not acting like an alpha should? How her being abused is no excuse for what she did?"

[P r o m i s e r]

Blaze~

"N-Nia's dying? Oh why dd I have to yell at her!?" I cursed. "Thorn... Tell Nia that I am sorry for everything." I added, as my eyes filled with tears. "Thorn. You have a excellent point on what you said about Pelican. I'm just trying to make things better." Durnl replied to Thorn.

[Harley]

"You yelled in defense for family. Understandible. But not to the one who was getting yelled at." Thorn muttered softly, and looked at Blaze darkly. "She may not forgive. Tis not an easy thing for a pained wolf to do." He focused his attention on Durnal, and stood. "I can allow you to say goodbye, Blaze. When her time comes, I will send for you, and you as well Durnal."

[P r o m i s e r]

"Thank you Thorn. I am more than greatful of you." Blaze said his gaze still upset. "I understand if she doesn't forgive me, Thorn." Blaze added.

[Harley]

Thorn nodded, and licking his nose quickly. "Maybe you'll appeal to her better side. Of course, I think she hates this entire pack now. Odd thing really."

[P r o m i s e r]

"She has a right to hate me. But she has absolutely no right, to hate Durnal. He has done nothing wrong to require disrespect." Blaze replied, his brown gaze on his paws. "Blaze... You were doing it to stick up for me. A newborn pup could understand you were doing it because you care." I said, licking his ear.

[Harley]

"I don't intrude that much. I do have a pretty good idea who she dislikes, though." Thorn's tail shifted, brushing several rocks off the cliff. "Blaze.. you realize Storm knows what you did. Everyone in the pack could feel her misery. Nia is forgiving. Storm may not be. Be ready to face whatever she throws at you. She may say her mother's death is all your fault, or she might try to kill you. Either way, it won't be easy."

[P r o m i s e r]

"I'll just have to face the fact. But Thorn.... No matter what I have done, or what I have said, I have always loved Storm." Blaze replied. I could tell that Blaze missed Storm more than anywolf right now, and I lightly nuzzled him. "Its alright, Blaze. Nobody can stay mad forever." I sighed, trying to cheer him up.

[P r o m i s e r]

(Bump)

[Harley]

Thorn quietly nodded, and stood. "I should be going. I must down a deer, small repayment for making Mimic drag one back herself." He cast a cold glance towards the forest. "Not on your territory, if that conerns you.. Mine is just as plentiful."

Pelican could hear her name being brought up through the whole conversation, which made her extend her claws. She wanted to walk up to Thorn and comfort him but she didn't, not until Lucifer. The largest of both the Alpha's, appeared from the shadows, his massive frame towered like a sky-scarper. He then let his booming voice echo, " Who here has said my sister's name is trial?" He demanded, looking at all the wolves. He was 9 years old, older and more wiser than them, and surely stronger. He heard the conversation as well, coming to see his sister and the pups. He wanted to stop by, but needed to sort out some things, wanting to know why this young Alpha male, Thorn brought Pelican up in every bad comment. " No one knows anything about her, like she knew that the fae was pregnant with 5 pups. if she would've known, she would have never killed her. Pelican is NOT that cold-hearted, and if you have anything else to say about MY younger sister, be sure to take it up to me no one else. Or at least speak to her about it, instead of going behind her back and not telling her." Now Pelican stepped in, standing behind Thorn now, she kept her tone calm and chill as possible. " May I confess, that yes, I take my anger out on others, but not just for the hell of it. It's because I can't control my anger, and no I did NOT know the fae was pregnant, I am sorry for that. Some things are not going to be changed about me, it's just the way I am, it's been this way since I was a 2 month old pup until now. And if you can't accept that, or any of you, then I guess I can't stay here. I will not be treated like a worthless piece of... Yeah, but I will not stand by and be thought of as a blood-thirty wolf, in which I AM NOT, so please get that out of your head before I becomes something more worse than it already is." She said in a calm voice, breathing in heavily, holding back her anger that wanted to rage.
Still, Lucifer stood in front of Thorn's path, glaring down at him with soft green eyes, then narrowing. " Now young Alpha, may I speak with you?" He asked, flickering his tail for everyone to slight now, noting that he needed to speak to Thorn. Alone.

[P r o m i s e r]

I looked over at Lucifer and Pelican. "Pelican. Anyone could understand that your not a bad wolf... Anyone who thinks different can get the hell out of my face, before I tear it off." I growled, not at Pelican, but to any wolf that didn't like Pelican.
"Oh and who invited you on my territory Lucifer. I'm sure I didn't. But, you came here within reason, and I thank you for sticking up for Pelican." I said, calming down a bit. "So this is Lucifer?" Blaze asked, bowing his head. "Hello sir. I am Blaze, Durnal's brother and the Beta of this pack." Blaze explained.
My muscles suddenly bunched up, making me look like I was 3 times my size when I saw the demon of my mother. "All of you are weak! Especially YOU Durnal!" She snarled. "You know damn well that nobody here is weak! I wont even allow you to speak of LUCIFER in such a tone! He is much wiser than you think, you bitch!" I snarled back, and clawed her face.
"You are just like your father! If it weren't for you, I would be alive!" She growled. "How the hell is it MY fault!? You are the one that abused me every god damn minute of my puphood! And now the sweet revenge begins!" I snarled and sliced my teeth through her throat.

[Harley]

Thorn turned to look at the oldest alpha, dipping his head politely. "I believe it was me." He replied calmly. "I understand. But has one ever noticed that a pregnant fae has a distinctive smell? Nia held it, so did Pelican, as well as that female. And how she looked... much heavier than the rest of them? Mind you, I took these wolves in because they couldn't fend for themselves as well as a healthy wolf. Now, if it was because of temper, that I understand. I myself... well... just ask Durnal. He can tell you what a hellion I was." He considered Lucifer for a moment, the look in his eyes clearly stating that he meant no offense. "Pelican is not cold hearted. At what point in this conversation, did you hear me say she was cold hearted? Tempermental, yes, but many wolves are. Such as my self. I planned to speak to her about it, but I took it up with her mate first. Who else would know anything better about her besides Pelican herself? And, in which case, I wasn't aware she had an older brother. That detail was wiped out by.. bigger things." Thorn looked at Pelican, a small smile creeping onto his features. "Pelican... if I wanted to blame someone for killing just for the hell of it, it would be the humans. I admit... I have held my fair share of grudges against you, but I am barely a two year old wolf, who still has a lot to learn." The smile slid from his face when Durnal's mother appeared, and he backed away, his back paws threatening to fall from the cliff. He shook his head when she left, and sighed softly.. "You aren't bloodthirsty. It was never in my head, so I think perhaps you should stop guessing what goes on in my mind. It will hardly ever be correct. And if you were worthless, do you think Durnal would of taken you as his mate? No. Now calm down. Certain touchy topics drift towards things we do not wish them to, and I regret brining you up. But I wanted to speak to you about it, and not in front of the pups. I, myself am sorry for what I said, but they had to be said." He hung his head, curling his tail in a little. Thorn looked up at Lucifer, nodding gently. "I hope you do not plan to harm me... I have... family matters that need my full attention."

[P r o m i s e r]

"Very well said Thorn. All of it... And yes, I admit Thorn you put me through hell but being born tempermental cant be changed, though you were one hell of a wolf to tolerate, I did my best." I said with a smile, and my emerald gaze rested on him. "And look at yourself now. Your a young Alpha, that I guarantee will succeed as one." I added, trying to be polite.
Blaze piped up. "And I agree with you and Durnal 100%. You both hated each other until the time of Nia befriending Blaze for the first time." Blaze barked.

(You just gotta love Blaze. xD)
