The smoke was thick and swirling in great clouds of gray, but Bloodsbane had no trouble maneuvering after Sabela;; he was accustomed to vast amounts of smoke, after all, who wouldn't learn how to use your senses in smoke after so many years, tucked away in Tartarus and Hellfire? He did not see, but rather based his locating devices on hearing. He grunted, then darted after Sabela into the layers of smog.
He laughed softly to himself as the tree fell, his frustration at her run deteriorating immediately as the alphess fell before him. "Oh, how lovely! It's simply perfect, this here. The first day Hellfire rises, and an alphess dies. Yes, yes. They might heal your wounds, but they cannot lift an oak from your back. Greet the heavens for me, Sabela!" He cackled and drove his claws into her belly once more, black knives piercing the red pelt of the Siverian alphess. Blood pooled around the wounds, spurting outward at a rapid pace. Not much longer now. I'll rip each life away one by one!
There was a large thump nearby, the sound of wolven paws scrambling up again, and a nervous heartbeat. Her crimson eyes narrowed as they fixed upon the source of the disturbance, only a few feet away from her own paws. Bloodsbane was tearing ravenously into Sabela, leaving no room for Lily to sneak in on such dazzling exploits. However, none of this mattered now. There was another wolf in the clearing, another wolf whose blood was just waiting to be spiled by her ebony claws. Snickering softly, the ashen femme slunk forward towards Ligua. "A little lost, are we?"

Well, that's just dandy.
Ligua quickly clambered to his feet, facing the direction the voice had come from. An enemy? Blood pumping fast, he retorted, "Lost? If I am lost, then shouldn't you be, too?"
He narrowed his eyes. "Who are you, anyway?" It was impossible to see through the smoke.
And the slashing and ripping sounds from elsewhere in the clearing were creeping him out...

Sabela narrowed her eyes a Bloodsbane, hoping he'd just leave her to die beneath the tree, she was a bit frightened by his threats, but she wasn't phased, and the fright she had she did not show. Her jaw parted and a howl of pain, misery, sorrow, mourning, and... dignity? The howl could be heard for miles around, even through the loud roaring around her. The packs would hear, but they were much to far away to help, and they would probably avoid helping due to the danger. Hopefully, if they heard her howl, they would know she did not want them to come, hopefully someone, perhaps Nightshade, knew she was strong enough to go through the pain, and pass on to Twilight. Perhaps Nightshade would know that she was noble enough to want the pack to stay safely, or as safe as they were going to get in this horrible mess, at home. Her howl continued for long minutes, until much of her blood was gone, her howl faded, and she winced, her eyes closing. They did not open as her chest stopped moving and she began to lose a life.

Bloodsbane stepped back, yawning as the alphess began to fade. Those wounds were pretty deep, but best make sure they do the work they were intended to do. I'll just wait here....quality control...maitenence check. No harm in doing that, is there? Nah. There's plenty of these foolish pack wolves to feast on -- they won't run away anywhere I won't be able to follow while I'm killing one of their precious alphas.
Dang. I love being evil.
Lily rolled her eyes, sighing. "It's sad, really. These wolves just keep getting dumber and dumber....well, I guess it's too late to rewind the process. Say hello to all the goody goodies in the Twilight Realm for me!" She lunged at Ligua.

She wasn't awakening, and her heartbeat and breathing wasn't starting again. It was her last life? Indeed. She was done, in the Twilight Realm. Bye bye to the Siverian Alphess, Sabela, and hello to the Siverian alphess Nightshade. Really? Was she done? She wasn't breathing, she wasn't moving, plus she was stuck under a tree!! Maybe the tree had hit a main vein, and helped Bloodsbane kill her. Maybe. Long minutes past, and she did not stir. Nothing, she was gone, forever.

Bloodsbane frowned, dissatisfied with the easy kill. "Ugh. You think I would've gotten at least a couple of lives in! Apparently not. Geeze. Well, I suppose it was smart to leave their almost-dead alphess behind to check it out. In times like these, those Siverians would want a freshie. Well..." a smirk crossed his face. "That won't happen. Because they'll never live to get into that damned tree. I might not be able to stay in this clearing long, but whoever it is won't make it here at all. I'll make sure of that.....this world is going to burn. Starting with the Siverians." He stepped forward, then bounded into the shadows.

What was that? A howl from somewher- Shoot.
The distraction had cost him. Ligua winced as he tried to dodge to the right. Claws gashed a hole in his left shoulder.
"Twilight Realm? Well, I'd tell you to do it yourself, but... slight logistics problem with that, isn't there?" Ignoring the blood that seeped from the wound, he flung himself forward as well, hoping to cause some damage before he had to retreat.
There's always time to run...

(Woah this thread has been up for a month...we should try and finish here soon =p )
Lily sidestepped his wild leap, and groaned as she watched her father leave. "Well, I suppose I could kill you, but I want to go see the battle, so you've got a little while left. Toodles, mutt!" She turned and darted after Bloodsbane.

A twitch of the ear was all it took to signal that the alphess was alive. No, she did not lose all her lives, she still had seven healthy lives. Her chest began to slowly rise and fall, but it did not matter that she was alive, an oak tree was upon her from her hind quarters back. Her eyes closed, and she fell unconscience, not dead, but into a light sleep. Her chest barely moved, almost impossible to see, and her body was still.

Ligua pushed himself up, growling after her until she vanished in the clouds of smoke. Then, still ignoring the blood seeping down his left side, he started to pad toward the Yozoran camp, wherever it was. There was a thump as Ligua fell again. This is getting too common... He got up and shook himself, then turned around to see what he had tripped over this time. It's that wolf again! He resisted the urge to jump back. After all, she seemed to just be lying there... under a tree... He approached slowly and gave her a poke with his front paw. I figure she's not going to hurt me. And if she does, I can always fight back... His left shoulder was completely red now, but the blood seemed to have slowed somewhat. Ligua backed up, then slammed into the tree with his right shoulder. Nothing happened, although he could have sworn the tree had shifted a little. "I'll just go tell someone," he muttered. "They can come and fetch her, I guess..." Hoping he wasn't doing anything wrong, he piled a few leaves over her, making sure not to block her mouth. Just in case anyone comes... She should be pretty hard to find now.He padded off. There was another thump in the distance. (Bleh! :  |

((Ha-- yeah, she's not going anywhere... ever. You should have him look regretful, and promise he'll send someone back, or promise that he'll make sure she gets out, or that he'll bring her food, or something verbal. The tree isn't budging anytime soon =p
Maybe he could return someday in the future and make her a den to protect her, or.. I don't know tell the alphess of his pack *shrug*))

((Thats good =^^=))
Sabela hardly felt the leaves fall upon her front form, but her eyes opened a crack, and, through the leaves, she spotted the departing form of Liqua, she silently thanked him for making an effort to protect her, then closed her eyes, focusing on not letting her sides heave, and slowing her heartbeat. She was now camoflauged under the leaves, and her slow breathing avoided moving the leaves. She wasn't moving, no, this was where she was damned for life, under the thousand-pound weight of the tree. She sighed, but only inwardly, and continued to focus on breathing.
