proving strength

[braun]

Braun began to climb the steep cliff. slipping at times, she struggles to keep from falling. She wanted to prove she'd be a good fae to mate with and mother pups. So although fear stricken of the height, she continued to climb the high mount. She caught a loose spot in the cliff and slipped, falling twenty feet below. She hit her head on a rock and was knocked unconcious. As her eyes closed with searing pain. She could only think of Tobin's face.

[Tobin]

Ever since Tobin had lost Litha, he'd been planning to join Lirona. Not as a pure hearted wolf, but as a wolf seeking vengeance. His emotions were mixed with a hate for Beltane, and the beginning of a love for Braun. Was vengeance worth the risk? Would he be found out the second he stood before the light alphess? These questions were the only reason he was not already disguised as a member of the lights.

The day was still early, since he awoke Braun was nowhere to be seen. He figured she was off hunting or finding drink. So he decided to visit the mountain. He didn't know why he went there so often, it was a horrible place. Perhaps it was just to visit Litha in some way. When he got there he found Braun unconscious, at first thought he thought she was dead. His heart sunk. He nudged her face with his muzzle hoping that she would move. "Braun...stop playing, please get up!"

[braun]

Her eyes flutter open as wishy washy visions come into play. "Tobin?" She said to him in a weak voice, "I thought I saw her, I thought I saw Beltane.", she pants heavily. "I tried climbing the cliff to get her. I was going to bring her dead body back for you. But I guess I slipped. I'm so clumbsy."She giggled. Looking up at him, she thought.H was worried about me. Wow. Maybe he likes me after all.

[Tobin]

Tobin was so relieved to see that she was alright he could not help but licking her face. "It's not funny you know, I could have lost you too." he said, stopping his attack of affection to scold the fae. Backing up he gave her room to stand, he was relieved that everything was ok. He did not have many chances at happiness, and hoped this one would last. "Braun, promise me you won't come here again. This mountain seems to hate me, and everyone I love."

[braun]

Braun stands shakily and immediately dips her head low. She knew Tobin was very upset with her. She had wanted to attain vengence for him, to proove that she is indeed strong. She thought to herself,I have failed misserably in the task of prooving myself. Tobin will never want me now. A small stream of tears began to fall, scarring her soft coat of hair beside her muzzle. "I promise.", she said in and soft and saddened voice. And so she bagan the journey with him to the Damorli pack's border.

[Tobin]

Tobin approached the fae at the sight of tears, trying to nuzzle some comfort into her. Time had seemed to force some affection into the brute. "Please stop, Braun, I just don't want anything bad happening again." he turned his head to look at the colossus mountain, how he wished it did not exist. A forest, a field, he did not care as long as it was gone. "We need to get on Lirona's good side, simply killing Beltane is not enough." His serious face was wiped clean as he playfully tackled the fae hoping to lighten her spirit. He playfully bit her ear before running off, glancing back to see if he was being chased. "Come on!"

[braun]

She followed the brute hastily, keeping up with him. All of the sudden she pounced on his back. They tumbled over and over, rolling together. Oh, how she liked the brute. But she would never have the courage to tell him. When they finally stopped rolling, she stood up. She licked his muzzel befor continuing the journey. She knew this was important to Tobin. So she would do whatever necessary to keep him safe and see him avenged.

((OOC: Well I already left in a way so I'll just move on ))

[braun]

Braun looked up at the cliff as she began the journey up. Although injured, she thought she was strong enough to make it up the cliff. Slipping and sliding as she went, she spoke softly to herself If he doesnt care about me, thats fine. I'll proove I dont need them. She had a look of hurt on her face more so than anger. Finally, the wound on her head became too much for her and impared her vision, making her dizzy. Making it to a flat rock lading space on the edge of the mount, she collapsed. Seeing only darkness, her eyes closed, passing out. She had lost alot more blood from the wound than she realized.

[Tobin]

Tobin rushed up the hillside following the trail of blood, it was not hard to find Braun since the blood made tracking so much easier. He only hoped that she did not loose too much of it, which was not what it looked like. Picking up the pace he reached Braun in a matter of moments. "Braun stop, I'm sorry! How am I suppose to protect you if you won't let me. I would rather die than seen you go with that brute. I thought it was your choice so I did nothing. Now your hurt, and stuck in the wretched place."

[braun]

Her eyes fluttered, looking up at him sadly. Tobin I went with him for your protection. I wasn't going to stnd by and watch him rip you to shreads. Don't you understand? I love you Tobin. I would sacafice anything for you. She tries to stand slowly, slipping in a pool of blood. Looking away, what do you care anyway? You didnt show one bit of emotion. Not one tear, an arguement, a plea for me not to go. anything. do you feel anything for me? anything at all?

[Tobin]

"Braun this is no time to argue with me, your wound is too bad for it" he sat down beside her, tending to her wound in any way he could. "Why should I have shown emotion when I thought it was your choice? I'm not going to chain you to my side Braun, If I knew then I would have fought for you. You don't have to worry about any brute ripping me to shreds, I have promises to keep before I die. I left Beltane, and the brat pup for you. Your more important then them."

[braun]

What about your revenge? Tobin, you need to worrie about getting close to the Lirona pack. I will be fine. what would make me so important Tobin? You now know of my love for you,and yet you say nothing in response. How important can I be? She sat on all fours, dizzly. Looking at him now, she wondered, Does he feel for me the way I do for him? Is it possible?

[Tobin]

((OOC: I'm so sorry for the long delay, College and paintball))

"Your more important than the whole of this world. I only let you go because I thought it was your choice, how could I be so selfish to deny you anything you want? I can kill the Lirona wolf any time, but what will I have after she's gone? Nothing without you, you should know that I love you." he nuzzled her with his cheek, speaking his feelings. Part of it because she was wounded so badly. He imagined loosing Braun now would take his sanity with her. He could not take another death, not of one he loved. "I'll do anything for you Braun, say the word and I'll cut from my trail of vengeance."

[braun]

I could never ask that of you Tobin, she said, nuzzling him back. He had no idea how much this meant to her. She stood shakily and shook out her dusted coat. Oh I love you Tobin. I wish I would have known of your feelings sooner, I wouldn't have acted so foolishly and climbed this mount. Now I am injured and of no use to you. I'm so sorry Tobin. I broke my promise to you. She sat up right and hung her head sadly, angry with her disloyalty.
