Troublemaker

[icewind]

Sao ran playfully down the Manor Cemetery. Not really caring that she was running on dead bodies. Just loving the rush of happiness that went threw her body as she dodged one gravestone and the next. She leapt on a gravestone and cocked her head as she stared at the grounds ahead of her.

"Oh, this could be fun." she muttered. Her stubby tail began to wag. "Real fun..." she jumped off the gravestone and stiffed the forest edge. This was Stallin territory. She never went here before...

Smiling broadly she ran into the forest, barking happily. After a few minutes she took a brake.

Sao looked around were she was located. She had no clue where she was, lit-alone where she was going. She would probably have to spend the night in here.

Well its not like had anything else to do. she thought yawning.

Suddenly, her head turned left and her small ears went up. Something was here and coming her way.

[myenna]

Myenna hated being in the Sallin territory alone. She was always afraid that the pack would find her, and that spelled death for any dog like herself. Having wandered into the area by mistake, she wanted to quickly find her way off again, or at least find another friendly cannine to accompany her.

The wind blew through her fur and carried scents that danced around her snout as she tried to make them out. This wind smelled thickly of death. She couldn't be far from the cemetary. That meant she wasn't far from saftey. She was about to speed off in that direction when another scent caught her attention. There was another animal near by. Friend or foe, she couldn't tell. She crouched low to the ground and slowly crawled to where she supposed it would be. Finally, she came close enough to see the cannine. She could tell that she was female, so she relaxed her nerves a bit and lossened her stiff position, but as she did, her paw caught a twig, which snapped loudly, or at least loudly enough for the other to perk. Myenna tenced again and waited to see what her reaction would be. She prepared to fight incase the reaction was hostil.

[icewind]

Sao head turned toward the sound. She saw the thing that made the sound was a dog, like her. Felling no threat she ran toward the dog and playfully snapped her teeth.

"Who are you?" she asked as she flipped on her back.

[myenna]

The border collie raised her eyebrow at the playful behavior of the dog. This wasn't what she'd expected at all.
"I'm Myenna," she said. "And you are...?" She didn't know yet if she wanted to have a long term friendship with this one, but any compainionship at this point was beyond welcome.

[icewind]

"Sao." she barked happily. Sao got back on her four paws and looked wonderingly at Myenna.

"You look nervouse... why?" Sao barked her tail wagging madly as she went into the play posotion. "Relax a little! I ain't going to hurt ya. Are you here to find the wolves?"

[myenna]

To find the wolves?? She must be joking!

"No, I am not here to find wolves. In fact, that's exactly the reason why I'm so nervous." Sao's playful mood was lightening her mood a bit though. So much, in fact, she could almost feel her fear streaming out of her. She pawed playfuly at her and barked happily. She found that she was going to like this compainion. Like her very much.

[icewind]

"Well I am!" she barked. "I've never seen them." Sao rolled on to her back again. "Myenna, have ever seen wolves? They seem like their though. I only heard rumors from other dogs that my humans kept."

[myenna]

This dog must be mad. Sao actually wanted to find the wolves. From everything she had heard, they weren't very kind to trespassers, especially dogs. Myenna thought that there was no way that Sao knew what she was getting herself into by seeking out the Sallin pack.

"Listen," said Myenna. "How about we run away from here and try to avoid the wolves at all cost. It would much safer and guarentee that we wouldn't loose any blood or limbs or...lives." Myenna shuttered at the thought. The other probably though that she was too easily frightened, but had she ever met one, she would know. Of course, Myenna hadn't met any wolves herself, but the stories kept her away.

[icewind]

"Aw." muttered Sao. "I was ready to meet some wolves too." Sao sighed and looked at Myenna. "I guess if their going to do all that to us, then..." she looked away. She really hated running from this place. She was no coward. Sao small ears drooped a little.

"Fine, lets go." she said. But then and idea popped into her mind and her tail began wagging again. "But what if we meet one on the way out hear?"

[myenna]

There was no convincing Sao. She had her heart on meeting a wolf, and wasn't going to give up. Myenna sighed deeply. Thinking back, she had faced worse, and she had heard of few stories of kind wolves. Besides, she wouldn't be alone if she met a mean one, so it wouldn't be as bad.

"I guess if you really want to, we can go find some wolves." She knew she'd reget it later on, but she forced herself not to worry about it now. She felt that she would be safe with Sao, and happy company like her's wouldn't be so bad.

"Lead the way," she said, stood, ready to follow.

[icewind]

"YES!" sge cried, leaping into the air. She was so happy Myenna had changed her mind. She was happy to have a companion with her. She often got bored and lonely trying to entertain herself. She turned around.

"Come on then!" she said smiling.

[zinly]

Sao would get her wish; she would meet a wolf, but Myenna was also right. Wolves were not kind to dogs who had complied and been domesticated. It might be their ancestors fault, but ancestry was important even in a wolf pack and Juuku-Jah upheld such beliefs. She, herself, not being of this pack originally changed nothing. Dog trespassers were not to be tolerate. She loathed them with every fiber of her body for them disgracing the blood of canines. Their teeth had gone dull, their bodies misshapen, the pelts oddly hued as they were combined with other things not quite the same. Like the fox for example; it look very much like a small wolf, but bounced about like a rabbit and had cunning and independence like a cat. With such interbreeding, a dog could never be trusted because their minds were muddled with suspicious things of man.

Juu was on a leisurely stroll, enjoying her newly discovered freedom in the Sallin territory after being accepted here. Now she could rise in power and accomplish her plans to kill those who had slain her family. For all she knew, Sallin could have been the rivaling pack who invaded, but she doubted it. Sallin was too far from her home that another group must have been the slayers of her family. Regardless, with power and strength in numbers, the other pack would pay.

Head held high with her fine, strong neck arched slightly as she trotted along, a scent filtered through her nostrils. Dogs… She thought, lips curling and a silent snarl escaping through her lips to only hiss between her fangs. The impudence of such creatures to enter this land! It was virtually sacrilegious for such animals to traipse in wolf territory.

Without a second thought for the two scents that outnumbered her one, Juu blazed towards the fragrances on silent paws which swiftly led her through the foliage of bsuh and branch towards the two outsiders. Juuku parted her jaws again this time to release a violent growl as she barreled towards the others. They were heading directly into Sallin land and not even trying to wander out. What fools! Ears pinned to her skull and lips withdrawn in a menacing snarl, Juu leered with cruel vehemence with mismatched eyes at Myenna and Sao. How dare they come here. How dare they! “What do you think you’re doing here dogs.” She demanded, growling with every syllable. “Get out.” Her tail curled about her side and flicked angrily at the tip to emphasize her commands. She didn’t care how amiable these others appeared. They must leave now or they would die.

OOC| Well, you asked for it. ^^;

[icewind]

Sao blinked and turned to the animal who had spoke. She could instantly since that the animal was pissed for something she had apparently done. But what was that? She was just looking for wolves. No harm in doing that? She stared at the animal for a long time before noticing that the animal was almost like her.

Her eyes at the rusty coat. The fur was thicker than her own. She closed her eye trying to think what this animal could be. At first she thought that animal could be a dog, but then she had never seen a dog look like that before. But the animal looked so much like her. She thought a bit harder then smiled insanely at the creature. Then she howled loudly and began jumping up and down.

"I FOUND ONE! I FOUND A WOLF!" Sao barked happily, jumping three feet into the air. "I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SEE ONE!"

[myenna]

Myenna did not share Sao's excitement. The wolf was even more intimidating than she had imagined. Though she had been able to fight off other dogs before with some ease, she doubted that she would ever be able to take on a wolf whether she had Sao on her side or not.

Myenna's body shook all over, and she had to lower herself to the ground to keep from falling. "F-forgive us," she said. "We were...lost...and didn't realize where we had wandered. We'd be more than happy to leave this territory, if you would be so gracious as to let us." She chose her words carfully, and her best to remain humble and not anger the preditor. Looking up at Sao, she could see that her new friend was still in a foolishly playful mood, not sencing any kind of danger. With all her heart, Myenna wished she would see reason and turn back. If it weren't for Sao, she would have run off at first sight of the beast standing before them, but she knew she couldn't leave her friend behind, and so she stayed.

[icewind]

"Speak for yourself." Sao muttered. "I wasn't lost. and" she added happily. "I wanted to ask the wolf some questions."
