Blood Moon

He stood there for a few moments...Not quite comprehending what he had just done. But soon his empty stomach won over his mind and he tore into the carcass. The way he gulped down hunks of meat, it wasn't wise to bother him. His gaze shifted only for a moment to Laharl, giving a soft snort at him...Saying it was his kill...Laharl would just have to wait.

Larharl watched and snorted back a small grumble sounding chuckle. He didn't want the doe, and if he did, the two of them would be at each other's throats for it. Larharl did notice though, that the smell of blood was making him hungry, but not hungry enough to risk his life over. He just sat there and watched. Just at that moment the bushes rustled and before Laharl could think about it, he was in them biting down on the neck of a small rabbit. He stepped away to look at what he had done. With a small shrug he laid down in the bushes to eat in private and to let Tobias eat in his own privacy.

Jarod watched Edward and Leigh. There was some kind of bond between the two that he didn't understand.

For Jarod

The words rang in his head over and over again. Edward had given him the knife, as he looked at the inscription he held back a tear. It was no use, he was a failure.

Edward's pupil slammed his fist into the tree, bringing about jolts of pain to the back of his hand. Failed, failure, bound to fail. Past, present, future tense; it was all the same. He tucked the knife away and put his head against the tree. He had failed. He had failed as a Hunter Searcher, as a pupil, as a student. He had denied it for too long, he had failed.

Edward cleaned and bandaged Leigh's wounded back with remarkable gentleness. He then helped her put her shirt back on. Finished with his task her gathered up the rest of the supplies in the first aid kit and looked over to his former student. He stood up and giving a look to Leigh he nodded once and then walked towards Jarod. He stopped and looked down at Jarod at a lost for words seemingly. There was so much he wanted to say, but he was to proud to say all of it.

After cleaning much of the meat off the carcass, Tobias stopped and lifted his head, a low growl rumbling from his chest. Obvious by the deep blood red hue of his good eye...the submissive boy wasn't in control anymore. His gaze darted to Laharl...Blood dripping from his maw as he glared at him...Looking into his good eye was like looking into the eye of something terribly evil...and his blind eye seemed to gaze into one's very soul...He gave a vicious snarl, fur standing on end as he turned to face Laharl...Tail held high...The wolf considered this area as his territory, and Laharl was invading it...And by the look on his face, he wasn't just warning him, he had the full intent of killing anything that got in his way...

Laharl soon finished his kill when a snarl ripped through the silence. He looked up to see Tobias. <i>Crap....maybe giving him food was a bad idea.....</i> Larharl stood and growled back. He perked his ears high and held his own tail higher than Tobias'. Laharl had shown him food and he was going to turn on him? Like that? The thought made Laharl's fur bristle and his eyes shine red. In the back of his mind, he knew Tobias wasn't doing this, it was his wolf. Laharl took the first step towards Tobias. If he was going to challenge him, he was going to do it right back. Then he took another and let loose a deep snarl. He wasn't going to let a wild blood crazed wolf take his life without a fight.

Lifting his head higher and bearing his fangs, he gave another deep growl...His messy black fur bristling as he took a step foward, snarling and licking his bloodstained fangs. It was impossible to tell when he'd snap and attack...He took several more steps foward, digging his claws into the earth as he moved.

A very large and powerful white male wolf watched intently as Tobias seemed to be ready to attack Larharl. He watched from the safety of the bushes. He was cocky. Sure of his power and strength as well as his ability to shift into other forms as well as a wolf. He watched a few moments later before making himself known. He took a step out of the bushes and growled lowly at both of them. His growl was primal and evil. Something that made creatures from the dawn of time flinch. His amber eyes blazed with a fire all their own. He was evil and it seemed to radiate off of him.

Laharl had decided now or never. He was just about to lunge and knock Tobias into a nearby tree to hopefully snap him to his senses, but was not able too. Another wolf, white, stepped out of the bushes. His scent was recognizable. It was Hector. Laharl turned so that he could face both of them. Once he was positioned right, he snarled at Hector and Tobias, before taking a small step forward.

Jarod watched as Edward loomed over him. He watched him out of the corner of his eye, not even picking up his head from the tree.

"You didn't come here just to watch me." It was rare for Jarod to snap at anyone, this was one of those rare moments "There's something you want."

Jarod finally summoned up the courage to turn around. He looked Edward straight in the eyes with his arms latched across his chest.

"I'm sorry, let's talk like civilized people, okay?"

As Larharl snarled at him Hector gave a deep growl. He was positioned so he was facing both Larharl and Tobias. His high tail posture told everyone that he wasn't afraid and that these were his woods. His amber eyes flashed a bit as he growled. The growl seemed to be torn out of the very pit of hell.

Laharl stiffened up. He knew he couldn't take both of them on, but he couldn't just run, even though he had too. He slowly backed away. His ears were pinned and he was still snarling. He was not snarling at Hector...he was snarling at Tobias. Maybe if he did something right, Tobias would remember and flee...

Tobias gave a vicious snarl, looking from Laharl to Hector and back...The red eyes and crazed look was a clear sign that he was a berserker...Monsters known for having no fear, no matter what their opponent was...Tobias may have been small, but he was fast, and that meant that speed was on his side against the others...His extreemly high tolerance for pain would mean he would fight even if he was badly wounded...

Edward saw that Jarod didn't even make eye contact with him. He didn't blame Jarod. He knew he didn't exactally come off as friendly and cuddly. He heard Jarods snapy statement and simply took it at face value. Jarod then made eye contact with him. He locked eyes with his former puipl and listend to what appeared to be a defensive half appology. He thought for a moment then said firmly. "Alright. Talk about what?" He said simply letting Jarod lead the conversation.

BlackWolfDS · Post by **BlackWolfDS** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 10:20 pm

Laharl saw that Tobias would not come back anytime soon. He looked between the two wolves in front of him. Then in a desperate move, he charged. He was not aiming for either wolf, but the space between them. He dove and made it. Then he continued and ran all the way back to the clearing. He didn't think how the others would react and at the second, he didn't care. He just needed to get away. The bushes zoomed by as he ran, then they came to an end and he found himself back in the clearing facing Edward and Jarod. He immediately lowered his ears and tucked his tail to show that he would not try to cause harm to anyone.

Hector snarled at both wolves and then suddenly one bolted. He let that one go for now and turned to the berzerker infront of him. "Brother of darkness, we can work together. Would you like to be a god's right hand?" He locked eyes with Tobias. His voice was cocky. His whole posture said he wasn't afraid. It was a self assured evil that he held.

Jarod looked at Edward and closed his eyes. He didn't want to speak to Edward about the events of the last several months, but he had to. He had to get it off of his chest.

"In the last several months...after I...ran, what happened?"

Jarod actually managed to look up to his former mentor this time. His front teeth sinking into his bottom lip.

"I can tell you what happened on my end, but I need to know about you. I doubt you're gonna tell me but if you're not gonna tolerate my presence, then dammit...shoot me, shoot me right here and now."

Edward looked to his former pupil with something akin to sympothy. He heard Jarod beg for acceptance or death. He was about to answer him when suddenly a wolf appeared in the clearing. He had his gun drawn before he reconized the wolf as Larharl. He lowered his gun. "Larharl, I thought you were with Tobias." He said simply as if he was pointing out something rather obvious.

BlackWolfDS · Post by **BlackWolfDS** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 9:31 am

Laharl flinched when Edward pulled his gun. He kept his eyes to the ground to avoid eye contact. Then he slowly looked up when Edward had put his gun away. He took a few steps towards the two, always being alert of the surroundings, and when he got close enough, he whimpered. He could not change back yet, for obvious reasons, but he had to tell them of Tobias and Hector. He moved closer to Edward and layed at his feet to wait.

Leigh watched Larharl and Edward for a moment. She was silent knowing that Larharl wanted to tell Edward something. She removed her hand from her gun knowing that Larharl wasn't a threat. She could practicaly feel Hector's presence. It was the unmistakable feeling of a demon watching and waiting.

He gave a low growl as a response...It was easy to tell the berserker was unstable...unpredictable...It was because he was an unnatural berserker. Instead of being born one, he was bitten by one. Bitten wolves like him were very rare, since berserkers usually killed their prey...but somehow he had survived and created a split personality within himself...one being the timid boy, the other being the vicious wolf.

Though he was blind in one eye, and looked terribly undernourished, he didn't seem at all afraid of Hector...Blood from his meal still staining his maw and dribbling from his fangs. It would be hard for anyone to prove dominance over the insanity that showed in thoes blood red eyes. Because, unlike born berserkers, he did not have training on how to control that insane bloodlust...

Hunt Song · Post by **Hunt Song** » Tue Feb 06, 2007 7:10 am

Hector snarled. He wasn't near as defensive as Tobias was. He did not feel intimidated at all by Tobias and it was obvious. He grinned and with a casual swat of his large paw killed a rabbit. He let the pray die at his feet and looked at Tobias. He liked what he saw. He could use Tobias' inability to control the blood lust. With a flick of his paw the dead rabbit took flight and landed with a dull thud infront of Tobias. It was clear he was letting the beserker wolf know that he didn't need it's help. He looked at the wolf. "If you don't wish to have that kind of power we can continue this to it's inevitable end." The dead rabbit seemed at that moment more of a symbol than a peace offering. In his eyes a brilliant insanity could be seen.

Edward reconizing that Larharl was no threat holstered his gun. He then looked at the wolf at his feet. "Larharl, what's wrong?" He knew there was something going on for Larharl to be acting this way. He waited for an answer casting a look to Jarod and then back to Larharl. He could sense something in the air.

BlackWolfDS · Post by **BlackWolfDS** » Tue Feb 06, 2007 11:55 pm

Laharl looked up at Edward and let out a low whimper. He layed his ears back and looked in the direction he had come. If he was being followed, both Hector and Tobais would have been there by now. He looked back to Edward then to his pant leg. He grabbed it gently and tugged him towards the direction Tobias and Hector were in.

[arpegiuswolf] · Post by **[arpegiuswolf]** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 10:57 pm

He tilted his head and looked down at the dead rabbit, shifting so he could see it better with his good eye. His gaze shifted back up to Hector...He may have been insane, but he wasn't stupid...He knew his threats were being ignored, and he knew his own strengths...He snorted and picked up the rabbit in his mouth before turning and walking off casually...One ear twisted back slightly to make sure Hector didn't attack him...
