The Final Moonless Meeting (EVERYBODY OVER HERE!!)

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Mephisto snarled, but did not release his grip. Instead, he tightened it, digging his fangs into the tender area around his enemy's throat.. Inwardly, the psychopath rejoiced at the taste of blood.

Arroyo opened his mouth, closing his eyes tight as blood, his blood, slid down his side. But he used all his self control to remain still. Moving meant heading into Mephisto's fangs... and possibly killing himself.

[hOwL]

Silenthowl paniced. But kept her cool on the outside. "STOP IT!", she said in a real angery voice. Deep inside she was afraid. She scurred for a seconed but was scared he might dig his fangs into his neck even more. "Your a jerk...you jackass what possibly more can you want?!", she snarled thru bared fangs, blue gaze blazeing into the males. Not careing if he took it as a threat or not.

[Sivoncé™]

Siv lodged her claws deep into the brute's neck. "Silver Mist...." she winced horribly, tears in her eyes. She hadn't wanted it to end this way...in bloodshed. She hadn't wanted her pack to die like this....to say their final goodbyes in a rush.

She knew she had to, for their safety. It was already too late to go back; she was too far along on her path towards death. The pain of her fate was so intense at this point that she almost went blind with agony. Instead, she dug her claws in deeper. She put more thrust behind them. She didn't look at their faces as she opened her mouth to say the words she hoped she would never have to....
"...it's time to go."

[hOwL]

Silenthowl froze...what? Leave now? She turned her head to the other Silver Mist wolves. An expression was held at there faces. She looked back at Siv and Arryo despritly. The first Silver Mist wolf to turn her back was her. She began walking towards the exit blue gaze looking at every wolf. She dipped her crown to each wolf she passed. "Its time to leave...", she whispered and looked over for her son and daughter.

Hazel got up as Silenthowl did. A last expression was taken. Waite where? She flickered her tail with confusion and raced up to her. "Where?", she asked.

Soul got up and fallowed her mother. She had no clue where...but she didnt want to lose her mother again.

[Sivoncé™]

Nightshade nudged Carolina, Blue Moon, and Mystic forward. "The mountains...." she said quietly. She ran too, then slowed. "Liviana! You've been there before....lead the way!" She howled to the young loner. Liv sighed, and closed her eyes for a long time. "A wolf just died...there, on the cliffs of White Mist." she muttered to Silenthowl. "I think you should check it out before we leave this place forever. We'll wait for you at the foot of the mountains." And she darted, others following her.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Mephisto snarled, a sharp pain in his neck. A horrible pain. He bit down harder as the pressure increased... and then realized the pain was becoming too much to survive. Biting down until he felt bone beneath his jaws, he tore away in a roll, neck hurting like Hellfire.

Arroyo gritted his fangs, digging his paws into the riverbed gravel. He felt as if he had been torn apart... and he wasn't too far from the truth. The flesh on the back of his neck had been torn away, and there was only blood.
He coughed up crimson saliva, and took a shaky step foward.

Mephisto narrowed his eyes. "You're just like my f***ing mother..." He staggered to his paws, then lunged in a sprint. He started running toward the trees... then swerved suddenly, with surprising agility for a wolf of his size. He dashed foward, leaning down to grasp young Loni in his jaws as he sped away. "I WON'T KILL HIM!" he howled furiously, this time grabbing the pup as gently as a bloodthirsty assassin could. He shoved a Sirius aside ran past them, and disappeared into the woods with the pup swaying from his muscular jaws.

(ok, there.... took a LONG time for him to get that pup, lol)

[mudfang]

(pfft. What if Th- nevermind. Let's just say it was one of her catipillars and get on with our lives! )

A single tear rolled down Holly's cheek. This time she contained herself. WOW. A MIRACAL!

[Sivoncé™]

Siveria was at Arroyo's side in an instant, licking the blood away. "Arroyo? Arroyo, can you hear me?" She whimpered. "Magic!" She called, hoping to Lupus that Herb Healer was still around.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Magic perked his ears, and dashed foward to meet his Alpha and Beta.

Arroyo's eyes were shadowed, body bleeding. He stumbled foward to take another step... another step toward where Mephisto had disappeared. "I HATE YOU!" he screamed, blood dripping down the sides of his maw.

(think Anakin Skywalker at the end of "Revenge of the Sith"... when he tells Obi Wan "I HATE YOU!" while dragging his mangled body out of the lava... )

Magic skidded to a halt, the Healer neophyte sniffing the wounds. "They are deep..." Luckily, for the trek across the mountains, he had brought a good supply of useful herbs. "I'll be right back... keep him still." The dark grey wolf turned and ran to the edge of the forest to pick out needed herbs.

Arroyo still tried to stagger after Mephisto. Normally he was calm and cool in battle... even in the presence of Verlust, he had retained his cool nature. But Mephisto had murdered his friends. Nearly killed him. Tried to kill Siveria, too! This maddened him...
Arroyo had never felt such rage in his heart.

[hOwL]

Hazel's gave fallowed Magic until he disseapered into the undergrowth. Pretty eyes turned to Arryo. She sighed. Speading up her step to catch up with the others. She flickered her ears behind herself makeing sure Soul, and Luke where catching up. Which they where. She looked at the loner and said nothing as she spoke to Silenthowl.

Silenthowl let the others go before her. Stoping her trail as she heard the loner speak to her. Not another loss...her chest tightened hoping to dear wolves that i was not her adopted father. She nodded lightly, "Very well...I'll meet you later", she said and darted of towards White Mist.

Soul traveled next to Hazel, dark blue eyes fallowing her mother as she ran off. She sighed. "She will return...right?", she barked with uncertainy.

[Destiny]

Loni snarled deeply.Angrily.Maliciously.As he was hauled away by some brute.Not that he cared.But it was insulting.

Destiny howled in rage,"LONI!MY SON!"She began to race after Mephisto.Paws slipped on wet rock.The fae stumbled and fell.Rolling,rolling and rolling.Finally her form halted.Bloody in a small crevice.Howling in rage and sadness.Not pain.But loss.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

(...if Destiny is like that after losing her evil son, how she going to react when she finds out that Lakota fell off a cliff? 0.0)

"That's right... learn your anger, my young apprentice," Mephisto murmured through the fur. "You will learn to utilize it to your own ability, my son." His eyes flashed, as he had had many actual sons... all whom were either beaten, hiding, or dead.

Magic's eyes caught Hazel for a moment. I wonder if she remembers me... I haven't spoken to her in a while... He forced himself to look onward and focus on his duties.
He pulled cobwebs out of the storage. But where is the goldenrod? He gritted his fangs in frustration. Where is it?

[Destiny]

Loni heard the word.Son.It rang in his auds.But the angry snarling continued.

(ooo.Shes gonna go balistic!She's gonna go completely mad!I swear to god that will be the perfect way fro her to lose her next life!)

[.Rabid Lycan.]

(hmm... I'll have Sedaka tell her... as soon as Howl posts in my Lakota thread, Sedaka can come, and then report to Destiny of his tragic death )

Mephisto's eyes closed. "These scars on your body... they will toughen you. The mark on your neck with give you strength. You will make me proud someday... I can tell. Now, I will show you blood..."
The wolf thought back to his life as a pup. He had been abandoned by his father. His mother suicidal at childbirth. He had taken to cannibalism to remain alive. All that has made me strong.

Arroyo continued to drag himself foward despite Magic's order to remain still. I will kill him...

[Ärï]

Panting, Sirius staggered up. Mephisto's sudden movements had dislodged him when the other brute had fled. His maw and fangs were stained red from biting Maphisto. Sirius saw Destiny fall. In one bound he was at her side. Gently Sirius nudged Destiny's head. "Destiny, we'll find him" Sirius promised though it wasn't a promise he could keep. The pack was moving. They would be leaving. They'd have to leave Loni behind.
