  • There's a place, not far from civilization, known as the Valley. It borders the ocean on one end, feeding from a creek that comes from the top of the mountains. That river carved a huge channel, where wildlife roam. Caribou in great numbers make annual migrations through the valley, and many a small prey animal make their homes in the Valley itself, and the forests surrounding it. With wolf territory recently pushed upon, some of the surviving wolves have made their way into the Valley to start again, most without packs to back them up, and hunting Caribou alone is a very dangerous prospect. But the Valley, for now, remains pristine.


    ******************************************************


    The white wolf looked down onto hundreds of caribou, his mouth salivating with the thought of fresh meat. He'd gone for days without food, and needed to eat badly. The human scraps weren't nutritious at all, and had actually made him sick. He needed this hunt. It was such a shame his fur was such an obvious giveaway, but he had learned very early on in his life how to deal with it.


    He made his way across the top of the Valley's plateau walls, and pushed a big rock down, sprinting as quickly as he could towards a bush further up the valley. As the large rock landed and spooekd the Caribou, he dropped a good thirty feet, landing deep in tall grasses, where his fur wouldn't be a dead giveaway. He waited for them to calm down, and slowly stalked his prey, remaining downwind, though in territory like this, wind liked to bounce around, so who knew what would happen?


    He mananged to close in on a small group, looked like one of them had a limp. Before he could get close enough for a simple pounce, he saw one, then three, perk up. Tsk. Too loud. He sprinted forward, knowing his fur would be seen if it was looked for. Causing a stampede in the process, he ran after his target, a doe with a pronounced, yet mild limp in her rear right leg. It wasn't like she could dodge or anything, now in a thinning point in the valley.



    (Feel free to do whatever pleases you, I'm always open to a twist! I'm mostly looking for a small pack for a very family-like, intimate feel. And I'm always looking to improve my writing, so feel free to (nicely) criticize!)

    [justify]A doe farther up was knocked sideways and over by a she-wolf with a tan-white pelt. She noticed the other wolf in the fray, and decided to help him. One piece of prey is better than two on the run.

  • The white wolf saw commotion ahead, and hoped to use it to his advantage, and was rewarded for his endurance. He saw his target stumble, and mananged to jump forward and bring the young doe down by the rear, holding it down as he bit into her neck and yanked a few times, finally snapping the spinal cord. He looked around for the source of the earlier commotion, and saw a female, jaws already bloody from a kill of her own, standing over another caribou. He thought her quite pretty, but kept any form of emotion in check for now.


    "Hey there" he said, standing up. "I hope I didn't give you too much of a fright by scaring the herd like that" he said, a bit of a grin on his face, as he walked over to her, tail wagging ever so slowly in curiosity as to this other wolfess

    [justify]She chuckled. "Hey." She stretched out a bit. "And no worries, i was getting tired of laying in the dirt. I usually wait untill one of them notice me, then run." she grinned, yawning. "I was up all night figuring out what deer would be going where."

  • He smiled, looking at her for a few moments, then down the valley, onto the ocean. "Where were you before this?" he asked her, looking out onto the ocean. "Have you lived here a while, or were you pushed out as well?" he inquired of her. He didn't know the area very well, and if she didn't either, well, he figured they'd have to figure it out together. He walked over to his kill, dragging it closer to her and laying it down in front of her as a sort of gift

    [justify]She thought for a second. "I've lived here a while. I used to have white fur when i was a pup, but my family bleaches our fur with dirt and the sun." She took a small bite, knowing he'd need the food more than she did. "Makes it harder for the deer to see us."

  • A young black wolf prowled through the valley.She lifted her head up and sniffed the air,trying to find any scent of prey.Her ear flicked as she heard a noise.She stalked towards the noise slowly and saw a white wolf and a tan wolf.Her ears flattened slightly.

  • "Sometimes, when I get the chance, I bathe in mud, but I've had... experiences that have made that less than pleasant" he said, a shudder running down his spine from ears to tail. He perked his ears, his left one darting down, but he didn't bother to look. He knew something was up the valley, but there's no way he'd able to deal with it now. "Dry dirt just has a bad habit of falling right out of my fur, so I just go for whatever I can" he said, shrugging as he sunk his teeth into the dead prey animal's neck, ripping out a chunk rather quickly, and bloodying his muzzle as he dug in, just now noticing how hungry he was.

    [justify]"Yeah. We would rub in dirt, then sit in the sun so it stains our fur." She flicked an ear, and sniffed the air. (Slightly low muse)

  • The young black wolf flicked her tail as she spotted the food.She thought about fighting the wolves for it,but decided against it.It's two against one,besides I can find more,she thought to herself.

  • He finally decided to look towards the black wolfess, not seeing much, but still hearing her. He took another bite of the caribou, his teeth digging in before ripping up more meat, quickly bloodying his white fur bright red. "I might have to try that sometime" he said in the middle of his meal. "Dying my fur like that" he explained as he took another bite, laying down on the meal and ripping chunks from it as he relaxed for a little while.

    [justify]"It takes a while, but once you get it to a tan its worth it." She rolled in the dust a bit, trying to ignore the other wolf. One new wolf is a little unsettling but two was making her nervous.

  • "I would hope not" said the white wolf, turning to face the newcomer. "C'mon and eat, you look just as starved as me" he said, stepping back to let her at his kill. He could see how uneasy the first she-wolf was made by the newcomer, so he was hoping not to make her any more uneasy. "By the way, I didn't manage to get either of your names" he noted, smiling.

    [justify]Raiko suddenly got up, and ran to one of the cliffs. "Yo! Hey! Koli! We got some food! i forgot about you." A wolf with the same tan fur poked his head out of a cake on the cliff. "Sweet!"
