Time.
Time never seemed to stop but it sure felt like it did. Nothing was going on but time still moved.
Loneliness.
No one around. The people you loved are gone, you will never see them again until you join them in death.
Trouble.
There is stuff going on. They wont happen for awhile. It creeps up on you then pounces on you and you have no clue what is going.
Time, loneliness and trouble combined?
Really big issues. You prepare but it does no good. You still get taken by surprise and all the work you have done is pointless.
Yuki paced as she recited this in her head. She was not doing to well. She had not slept well the past several days. Or was it a week? More that that? She had lost track. Her white fur was messy and tangled with leaves, dirt and dried up blood.
She could not tell where the blood came from. Her paws? Her neck? Her shoulder? She did not feel pain. Well she did but it was a pain that came from within and it was enough that it blotted out the pain that came from her paws, neck, legs and shoulders.
Her head was low to the ground, blood welling up behind her ear where a bug had bitten her. She had never noticed. She still did not notice. All she felt was that painful pressure in her skull and her heart.
The power.
The power that made it possible for her to make her armor and shield whenever she pleased. Her main weapon was only getting more powerful with each day. Every time a lunar cycle ended the power built up. Every time it was the new moon she could not feel the power, could not use it, could not protect herself.
Still she passed near the inside the border of the Toko packlands. She was a mess. There were paw prints of blood from her constant pacing. Bug bites that bleed. Her muscles were cramped. Her head was pounding.
She did not feel any of it.
She did not even feel the light drizzle that came down from the sky. The sun was out but it still drizzled and it would have felt nice if she actually felt it.
Word count = 387 OOC = First time in a long while that I have played her. Whoa. Never knew I could do that.

The air was chilled and crisp with the endings of the winters vice upon the land and the comings of a birthing spring, there was no greater time to be around then this where the greenery sprouted and the echoes of life returned to the lands in slow hushed tones while spring began to play its melody.
A wolf walked the boarders of a forest land unsure weather to proceed or wait. These lands where surely claimed by another perhaps even a pack of great numbers, he wanted to know and was sure that they would be a friendly pack that is why he didn’t hesitate to send Phlex on ahead of him to find a play to lay and rest her weary head. He wanted to continue right into its heart and find the pack burrows but since he was no pup that would be an unwise decision to say the least.
Not much time passed but what little did he spent pacing along the boarders edge constantly urging himself but equally hesitant to continue, the last thing he wanted was to get someone’s fur bristled with his impatient. I’m sure she’s alright. Perhaps I’m just worrying to much its not like something bad will happe... He stopped mid speech something brought him out of his hesitant thought and he didn’t like the familiar smell he was breathing for it brought back such unpleasant and nightmarish memories. "Blood" He whispered under his breath.
His hesitation itself froze and he no longer held back instead now he was running full pelt to find its source and its meaning. Not long after he started running did he come across a trail of paw prints lightly kissed with crimson shades of damp dirt. Now he was worried even more his mind went into overdrive thinking of the worst possible scenarios to what this meant, throwing fuel to the fire and making him head deeper into the forest lands in his panic for another.
The drizzle grassed his coat only to fly of again in his haste the sent was near he could smell the wolf from which the blood came and knew it to be a female, unable to stop himself he ran towards her sent wanting to help, wanting to ease what pain maybe be seeping her life fluids away. His heart ached at the pain he thought she felt and his need to quell it grew all the more insistent.
Not far now he could hear her walking and almost see her beyond the thicket that lay ahead, he had no choice he must get to her and heal what wounds she held. Closing his eyes so as not to feel the stabbing of the thickets wrath upon them as he made to run through them.

He will be here. When will he get here? I don't care, I will be waiting and ready to end this problem once and for all.
Yuki did not seem to get one thing about Lucid. He had to be an alpha for a reason. He was a brute, meant to be strong. He had a collar, that only made him stronger. What did she have? A shield and armor that could easily be wiped out with fire. An element that he probably had.
And storing the power? That was the only way she would be able to last long against him but look at what it was doing to her! It was driving her crazy. She was always in mental pain. Her head and body could only hold so much of the energy that she used. She could not feel her body which was in pain itself. The blood proved that. Her body could only take so much more and every minute it was getting closer to it's limit. What would happen if it passed it?
Whack! Crack! Snap! Came the sounds of running and branches to Yuki's ears. Her ears swiveled around to hear which direction it was coming from as the rest of her body froze.
"He is coming." Yuki said and turned around into the direction to sounds came from. Lucid would be in a sup rise. But why would he be so noisy and obvious about it?
Lucid would not be that stupid. Yuki was still prepared for a threat. Just when she saw the shape starting to come through the bushes she lepta.
The air chilled as the armor that was not there a second ago slid on like a perfect second skin in no time and a wall of ice surrounded them both so that there was no escaping. It was about 15 meters in diameter and was very slippery. It would be pretty close to impossible to climb up and only Yuki had an easy time at it because she could make the ice stick to her feet so she would not slip.
The air around her was cold and created a faint mist as she landed on the wolf who she did not notice was not Lucid until she had already pinned him to the ground. The weight of her armor helping her.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Yuki said in a chilling voice. It was almost scary. It would have been if not for the shaking that could be felt through her whole body.

The branches came thick and fast stabbing over and over with their relentless assault upon his face and the fronts of his arms, unable to see for he has closed his eyes he relied on his inner gut feeling on which direction to go and that he was getting near. A few more beating paw prints later and he felt the thicket part tugging at his pelt unable to give up the fight to jab and stab him with its branches.
The air around him grew more and more chilled and for a moment he thought he was back in the winter months in a place that spring could not touch, but this illusion shattered as something of someone collided into him bring his form to the ground and pinning it under their own. Dazed he could hear twisted words fall upon his ears as something poised itself upon his body. "Who ar.. u an what a you doi here?"
He was confused and disorientated unsure how he should answer and how he was answering to. “Are you.. pack? hmm.. call me Merrick.. what happened?”
In his confusion he had forgotten to open his eyes and was unsure if he was even allowed to, he could feel a cold sensation bite where ever there was wait upon him and assumed it to be her own. In his confusion he had forgotten what he was doing and could only think about the cold weight that pressed down upon him. Her voice sounded defensive but also a little scared from what he gather perhaps she thought he was some think more terrifying or worse perhaps she was on the run, his mind started once again to go into overdrive but then he remembered that he was following her blood and couldn’t keep quite about it.
His eyes snapped open revealing their vibrant cobalt blue as he look straight into hers, his mouth parted as he wished to speak of only on thing that now dominated all his thoughts. "Are you ok? I came following you bloodied trail I was worried for the health of the wolf it belonged to and find myself here. Please let me tend to you wounds I must help you!!"

“Are you.. pack? hmm.. call me Merrick.. what happened?”
That is what I am wondering, Yuki thought to herself. His eyes were closed and she wondered what he had been doing. He had been running with his eyes closed. Wasn't that a little stupid? Well he might have followed her scent but he might have been running from something or someone and then ran into her while she had been pacing.
Then his eyes snapped open and that sudden movement startled Yuki a bit and she pulled her head back a little.
"Are you ok? I came following you bloodied trail I was worried for the health of the wolf it belonged to and find myself here. Please let me tend to you wounds I must help you!!"
Yuki then got off of the male wolf. Wounds? Blood? Yuki did not have any wounds that were bleeding. Not that she knew of. She looked at her back and armor. The ice that created parts of it was tinted pink. That was the blood he was talking about. But a wound? She had been looking at herself longer than she had thought and the power was slowly draining. She started to feel herself again. There was several spots of pain that were from bug bites. Then there were her bleeding paw pads.
She looked down at one and saw that they had many small cuts on it from the rocks and twigs she had been pacing on all day. She had never noticed. The power had been too much, it had made her completely forget about her body because she was being strained mentally.
"I..... I never noticed." Yuki said shocked and what had happened. She ended up taking a few steps back and then fell onto her haunches.

Merrick looked upon the fae in front of him she was quit beautiful at least she seemed to be in his eyes and her power was most intriguing, he wonder for a moment what it must feel like to be able to actually use your abilities in combat and even in defence as she has demonstrated both right before him, a twinge of envy nestled in his chest before he quickly scolded himself for thinking of such nothings at the current time.
The fae seemed to be in a slight daze at the realization that she had be bleeding and had never noticed but how could she not feel it Merrick wondered had she by chance lost her sense of touch or was she too mentally focused or strained to have realised her bodies condition? This was a question he would leave for another time as her words “I….. I never noticed.” nudged him from his pondering.
He watched as she attentively took several steps back before she simply fell unto her hind end in a sitting manner Merrick took this a sign that he may proceed with whatever form of healing he may be able to provider her, taking a few slow steps towards her and making sure that he stayed within her view as not to alarm her he set about finding the areas on her body that seemed to be darkened with blood and being ever so gentle in his manner as you would with a newborn pup set about cleaning the areas that seemed sorest leaving her paws till she was willing to show them to him.

She might not have actually seen what was going on but when her shield was up she always knew what was going on. However that changed when her shield and armor just splintered and shattered. Before it could even hit the ground it just vanished, same with the wall she had put up. She looked up slightly and saw that he was moving towards her. There had only been one wolf who had tended to everyone of her wounds no matter who's fault it was.
Oturu. He was always scolding her for injuring herself and no matter what tended to him like he would die if she was not healed.
She turned her head and watched as this new wolf, Merrick, started tending to her wounds just like Oturu had. Merrick remind her a lot of her past mate. Just by the way he acted.
She lifted up her paws and looked at the dried up blood that had come from the several cuts from the rocks. She licked at the pads a little and when the scabbed blood did come of again it started to bleed slightly. She frowned at the blood. Why did wounds always do this? And why did she feel so comfortable with Merrick? He could easily turn on her right now and clamp onto her throat before she could do anything. She looked at him closely while his head was turned and what or who did she see?
She only saw her dark brown mate with the constant smile. He had always understood her.
She shook her head. It was not the right time to think about him.
"Oturu." She whispered "Why did you have to die on me?"

A familiar taste of metallic iron grazed upon Merricks tongue he knew the taste of blood well but never spoke of his past nor his future for that matter he seemed to live for too few reasons and wondered how he had survive as long as he did but for now that was no matter, he busied himself in the task at hand trying to re-frame himself from dwelling to much in his own thoughts Phlex had helped greatly in ways that she could not understand but she knew she was helping him in some way for she was a great distracter for his mind. He nuzzled round the side of her fair fur that adorned her head in an almost interment manner trying to be as gentle as a parent or even a lover as he tended to the bug bites around her ears, he could feel the fae shuffle slightly as she raised her paws to inspect them. She picked at the dry blood and simply looked on as the cuts reopened, he tutted gently as you would when a child picks their scabs before lowering his head down to her raised paws licking the slowly gently but firmly making sure that they would be clean and heal quickly.
As he tended to her his ears peeked as they caught both a whispered name and a sad tail upon the air that left her lips "Oturu… Why did you have to die on me?" It was a tail he knew all to well as he for a moment stopped to look at the fur patterns on his shoulder, he as sudden as he had stopped he continued to tend her paws cuts as if now running from a memory to painful for him to accept but equally a cruel that it was true.
He was thankful that he could help and prevent his thoughts from getting any more melodramatic and knew that if it were not for this or for Phlex being with him to keep his mind at bay he would surely become insane.. eventually but that meant his fears would find another place to torment him leaving only his dreams a place where his memories could haunt him. A shiver ran through him at the near thought of his dreams and he was sure that his patient may have felt it. "Sorry I.." unable to confess the reason for his sudden shiver he quickly tried to changed to subject [color=redYou should really take more care of yourself, I might not always be around to do this when you don’t take care of yourself"[/color] He chided her before he pulled his head up embarrassed because only the hind paws where left to be tended to, his embarrassment showed evidently on his cheeks and in his poster because the last areas left to tend where for him to close to a delicate area for partners "Sor.. sorry but hmm well… would you be able to tend to your hind paws.." looking down at this time evidently uncomfortable about what he was trying to implying.

Yuki stared at her paws while she felt this newcomer licking at the many scratches on her body. He even went as far as to lick at the big bites. Her blue eyes slowly closed when he started licking the bug bite behind her ear. It felt so much better once he was finished. She let him lick the paw she just had as he tutted at her.
She must have been acting like a pup. When she was a pup she had always picked at her scabs. Some took forever to heal just because she picked at them. She never did figure out why she always picked at them. She looked up at the sky. Oh, that was why. She picked at them because she was a warrior. She never wanted to heal to show how strong she was. If they healed then no one would be able to see her battle wounds.
Then once he was finished she lifted up her other paw. This one only had one cut on it. He seemed to work fast.
Merrick. Why do you care about others so much? Did you go through something bad like I have? Yuki said mentally. she almost wanted to ask him but decided not to when he shivered. Had he somehow heard her thoughts. He would have said something if he did. She could tell that like Oturu he would be keep secrets.
"Sorry I..Sor.. sorry but hmm well… would you be able to tend to your hind paws.."
She snapped back into real life and looked at him. It took her a little bit to figure out what he meant. He did not want to get too close. Plus down there was a place only a trusted mate would do, not a simple newcomer who only wanted to heal.
"Of course." She said with a slight stutter. All she could think about was Oturu and when she looked at Merrick it was like there was a ghosted image of Oturu over him. She leaned over with her eyes on him as she stretched out her leg and started to lick the pad. The skin on her hind paws was hard and did not get cut easily. This pad only had one cut and the other had no cuts at all. She finished licking it quickly then looked back up at him.
Why did she see him as Oturu?
