Mine! [taking leadership, closed thread]

[GREY]

Genocide surveyed the domain. It was time for a change. It was time for a real wolf to lead the pack, not some dog. Rising her leg, she marked a tree with casual abandon. She hadn't even seen Lacey in several days, and suspected the dog had run off into the city to be with her own kind where she belonged. That would just be perfect. But just in case... Genocide rose her head and howled wide, challenge in her voice. She would be alpha female here.

This was a pack for wolves, to be run by wolves. For months, she'd held nothing but resentment for the previous alpha's policy of letting dogs in, and had gone into shock when one had actually ascended to leadership when the old alphas died. That was just wrong. A dog didn't know how the old ways, the old customs. They didn't obey the law of trespass-means-death, or the feral ways of admitting only your own family and the young and fit into the pack. There was no place for weaklings. No place for mercy. She knew the packs in the city were growing with all the dogs released by man at last, and felt this pack had to be prepared for trouble. The solution was not to accept dogs, but to make it clear any dog breaking their rules on their land would face death from them. And the first one she would make an example of would be Lacey. The dog would either submit, in the traditional style, keep away and forfeit by default, or die beneath her fangs.

Spreading her stance and digging her claws in to the ground, she bunched up the scruff of her neck and narrowed her eyes for protection. Her tail she held upward, like a lofty alpha should, but not curled like a friendly dog-- this was a crooked, aggressive, dominant stance. She was ready... for battle.

Lacey has joined West Side. So Genocide wins by default.

As the male walked threw the terrain he held his head high with pride. He suryved the area and loved it he wanted it to be his but there was one tiny problem, rumors say there was a alpha how controled this area. As he continued to walk threw the area his ear twitched to sound of a faint howl. As his head rosed higher he held himself in a dominate state he wanted to be alpha but howled belonged to a female so he may be in luck if wins her heart.

As he raised his head released a howl loud enough for any small animal to run away in fear but also to catch the females attention letting her know she isnt alone. As his head came down he broke out in a high speed run following the howl and the scent markers. As he neared what might be the area a faint scent of dog was in the air this made him angry. As he let out a low growl towards the old scent he continued to walk towards the arean the scent strong of a wolf his eyes caught the beautiful fae in a dominat posistion the sun shining of her coat. As he walked in shadows he leaned his head her way and let his deep but soothing voice speak," Hey why does a cutie like you stand her alone instead of being somewhere hunting down the mutt that walks this domain your highness". As he walked out of the shadows into the light he could she that she small compared to him she must had been a different breed to be this small but who cared she could be his with right moves.

[GREY]

Hearing another, male wolf, and hearing no female dog replying she relaxed. Apparently, she would not be fighting for dominance today. She had won.

Well, that was rather anticlimactic. Still a victory was a victory, and she flopped down on top of a rock, loftily admiring her domain. She waited until a black shape appeared on the landscape, heading toward her, then rose, tail arching up again. Genocide had never seen the male before, but was not immediately hostile. She did need pack mates, and an actual male sort of mate to rule at her side. Her swift ears caught the male's growl, and her eyes narrowed. He might be bigger than her, but Genocide was hardly dainty. Her fur was short this time of year, making her look smaller than she was, and her body was more on the long side than the tall. She had no fear of him, and gave a flirtatious look at his compliments. "Why? To establish my domain. That dog, as you call it, used to disgustingly be queen here. The old alphas let her replace them instead of me." she spat at the ground at this, still searingly angry.

"However, she hasn't shown her face, not since I decided to take over. I believe she left to join her own doggish kind." she moved forward, brushing past him and letting her tail curl around him briefly. Possessively, even. He'd made the mistake of walking into her sight, well, pack mate or not, he was hers now, to do what she liked with. "But you know, that is an excellent idea. I should go dog hunting." The slender wolf gave a savage show of her teeth, blunt, curved, and powerful enough to crack bone. "I demand you join me. My name is Genocide, and who are you?" She didn't pull her punches. She didn't request he join her, she demanded it. If he spoke about hunting mutts, he'd better be prepared to back up his own words and follow through with them. And of course, she expected all her commands to be followed, regardless of who she was speaking to. Genocide wasn't just dominant. She was dominating in her personality, and not the type to ever let anyone forget it.

[pit]

As he watched the female brush past him with her rubbing against him. He heard say that she was the previous alpha and saw her spit in frustration. As she continued to walk past him he turn around see her demand that he join her pack and that her name was genocide. As he continued to watch her he saw that she was ready to go threw with his thought about hunting down the mutt," Well if you may no I was planning on joining anyways at that makeing you mg queen. As for the mutt we shall hunt her down for the sport".

As he narrowed his eyes on her he looked her over and started to walk past her brushing against her side and then circleing around and then getting back in front of her. As he stood on the hill he looked down haveing his tail up in a dominat posistion and raised his leg and marked a nearby bush." So where is your mate cause a beauty like you deserves something strong in the territory but we will leave for the mutt when your set my lady". As he looked up towards the sky he raised his head and howled letting it echo threw the terrain towards any male for a challenge if not claiming the spot for alpha. As he looked at the female she looked as if she shared the same hatred as him for dogs so this would be the perfect match.

[GREY]

No, not the previous alpha-- someone who the previous alphas didn't give the position. But close enough.

"Make me your queen?" her voice was sly and playful. She almost wished she had a mate, just so she could see the two fight over her. Sadly, her old mate was dead. "We'll see about that. I am strong enough to stand on my own. You see, my old mate was shot by a human. He's dead, but I still stand. That is why I despise the human loving dogs." she explained, more because she liked to hear herself talk dramatically than for his benefit. She watched him mark with delight, pleased that here was another wolf who liked to take what they wanted. Yes, he might just be worthy of being her mate, she decided.

Brushing up against him again, and with flirty, possessive mouthing of an ear with her teeth delicately, she whispered seductively. "Run with me." Her bright fire-orange eyes stared into his, full of mischief and mayhem. Her words seemed to imply something more than just racing, for a moment.

Then, exactly as she said, she ran, pulling away from him. Genocide laughed, intent on testing him. But also, on finding a dog to hunt. There would be canine blood spilled tonight! The wolf headed, straight towards the city, baying for the liquid red.

[pit]

As he listened to her explain that it was somebody the alpha had choosen. As he continue to admire her beauty he heard talk about the queen thing and, then brought up her mate being dead. As he looked at her he bowed his head in respect for the dead male as he raised his back up saw she was happy about him takeing charge and marking. As he contiued to watch her he saw her walk towards him and rub up against him but he also heard her say run with me.

As he prepared to say something she was already takeing off thew the territory straight towards the city. As he bolted after her he watched her from behind and decided that he would prove to her in every cause this was now his queen he howled as he ran past her showing his muscles ripple threw his skin. As he ran with the beauty of his life he slowed down some to run beside her." So why are we heading towards tge city dear is there business that must be done here or are we comeing handle a problem". As he looked at her eye to eye he winked and than speed up a little to maintain the lead towards the city he could almost taste dogs blood in his mouth he was ready to go on a killing spree murding every dog he saw he knew wolves by far was immune to the infection that the dogs could catch or have.

[GREY]

(a roleplaying tip: you don't need to repeat everything I posted in 'he listened' or 'he saw' form. If you do, you should post what he thought about it or how he reacted to it, not just that he noticed it.)

For a moment, she almost worried that he would not follow, but soon she heard him coming up behind her. Mirth filled her at his following. Oh, this night would be so sweet indeed.

"Oh, simple business." she said, tail flicking in acknowledgement. "And the problem is little, very little. The city has a little infestation. I thought we could go clean up the vermin." the alpha female's voice held deep ruthlessness. It was clear she was talking about dogs, not rats or insects, though she held poor opinion of them too. The thought of infection didn't bother her; only the weak would succumb and die to such a disease. Genocide wasn't weak. Ergo, she didn't believe she would catch it in the slightest. She winked back at him, and let him take the lead so she could admire his body and stamina. She sped up a bit, just to force him to run faster, though eagerness played a part.

The end of the valley was in sight, and she could now see houses in the distance. Not much farther, not much farther she mused with vicious delight.

[pit]

" So we came to clean up then, this infestation will be easy my dear". As he looked out into the distance he happened to to see houses and street lights we are almost there he thought. As he wondered what the prevouise alpha or imposter must have been doing her in the city as he slowed down in the dirt he started to hear the clank of nails on pavement as he sniffed the air he smelled dogs and a strong scent of them but he also caught the faint scent of the one dog he had smelled in their territory.

As he walked around he looked for any signs of a dog but couldnt find one so he decided make one find them instead. He raised his head towards the sky lettling loose a howl that would make anyone within radius tremble with fear but for those who come running will have a shocking surprise before them.

[GREY]

(shall we use NPC dogs just this once? -grin- I'm pretty sure no one will volunteer their actual characters for slaughter.)

Alas, the scent of the ex-alpha was lost in the muddle of the city's denizens. It didn't look like they'd find her today. "Not as easy as you think. There are hundreds here. It will be slow. But this night's run... yes, this night's run will be easy." His dear. She kind of liked the constant pet names spilling from his mouth, though she was in no way impressed by them. Genocide truly admired one thing only. Violence.

She rose her head, and joined his howl.

And she thought, perhaps, that she heard another answer. A bark? From a dog? Oh, that mistake they'd rue for the rest of their pitifully short life, she chuckled darkly to herself; outwardly, she made no noise and was standing intent and quiet, ready to pounce on whatever should appear. Stealthily, she crouched and circled, listening for paw steps around the corner.

[pit]

As cerberus lowered his head he had heard a bark from a ally way. As he thought this dog must have been dumb to bark while they howled together he lowered his head trotted toward the ally way as genocide sneaked to side ready to pounce on anything that came out as cerberus contiued to walk towards it he noticed a figure standing up digging threw garbage the sight of the dog let alone the smell wanted cerberus to kill him even more.

" He you your going to be my new chew toy". Before the dog could even brace himself or get ready to fight cerberus had launched himself towards the target with teeth digging threw the canines side he clamped down and could fill something snap as his lower half went limp he threw the animal into the trash cans." Hey baby you can come out know you can have the choice to kill him or I will finish what I started". As he walked toward the injuryed dog it snapped at him, " You disgracefull mutt I might have let you crawled out of her but now you pay a price in blood", as he ran in slammed his right paw on his mouth keeping it closed and slammed his left paw against his back as he waited for his mate to step foward and finish it last few seconds of life he had remaining.

[GREY]

Genocide showed her teeth. Garbage, disgusting. That was why she hated dogs. They stooped to human hand outs all the time. And Genocide loathed humans most of all.

Not content to merely watch Cerebus knock the dog around, she moved in and snapped down on the dog's neck, even as Cerebus was speaking about whether or not she wanted to kill it. It, since surely this creature was not worthy of being named. Speaking of names...

She thrashed her head and there was a loud snap of the creature's neck. The dog fell down stiffly, and she licked her blood-covered jowls. She took a bite of the canine's flesh, sating what hunger she'd accumulated from the run. Calming down now that the fight was over, she eyed her... new mate.

"What is your name?" she asked him. Such flirts they were, and what an odd couple, they'd been too busy courting that Genocide had decided to claim him before she even got his name. They'd even committed murder together. "I will take you for my mate for now, though you'll still have to fight off any other suitors I encounter. You've impressed me with your attitude." she gave a wolfish smirk, with crimson covered teeth showing.

[pit]

As cerberus rose up ofd the injuryed animal, genocide had already came in and snapped the creatures neck. As he let her get the first bite he leaned down and took a chunk out his side for some reasons dogs and humans was tasty. As he licked his jaws he looked towards the street in search of there next victim." My name is cerberus or what every you wish to call me dear. As for the fighting part I will put my life on the line for you at any cost".

As he lowered to the ground he licked his chest and arms for any blood that may have splattered on him. As he looked at his queen with her crimson smile he saw she was pleased but she had some blood smeared on her face, as he leaned over the corpse he licked the blood of the side of her face and gave her a smile. As he contiued to look around he guessed nothinf else will show its face if they just witnessed the murder that has happened." Well dear I think the rest are to afraid tl show there shelf so looks go back to the territory and search again tommrow". As he walked back to the corpse his head came down and clamped around its body, as he held with a grip he signaled for her it was time to go and with that he started back towards the woods and back home.
