Terri smiles and is snuggling with braxton just trying to cuddle with him while in the distance an old black enemy stalks her. thefox is black as night with a red eye that glow in the sunset giving him the apearance of a demon. his other eye or what should be his left eye is nothing but a nasty looking scar compliments of terris father. aproaching the 2 foxes in dead silence from a position were his scent wont give him away
Braxton nuzzles his mate and licks her. He does not know of impending danger. He just knows he loves his mate.
Halona slowly opens her eyes waking up from a nap that she was taking. Before the vixen gets up on all fours to stretch out a little. Then looks around the area to see if there is any one else up and around.
Terri continues nuzzling her mate as the black fox aproaches staring at the other male he wonders if he can kill them both? he thinks its not likely then he gets a good look at terri and licks his lips thinking how much she grew up to being a beautifull vixen much like her mother was. he begins to think of how afraid she was of him wondering if he can use that against her. he steps into the open and says "hello terri do you remember me?" terri turning to facethe other fox gets an imediate look of fear and shewhimpers backing off as if she knows this fox very well as a dangerous one
Braxton sees his mate back off after hearing this voice. He stands immediately and faces the source of the noise. If this is someone his mate fears, then he must take a stand. "Get in the den, Terri."
Halona hears the voices and heads in the direction that they are coming from wondering what is going on. She comes out in the open as well seeing the fox that she's not familliar with not yet saying anything.
Terri sees braxton ready to defend her and then steps forward to be at his side saying "I wont leave you alone with him" the fox smiles and says "ah you do remember me terri you remember how your father gave me this scar? I would say that means he owes me and I am taking you as payment" terri ears flatten and she growls "come and get me you are a coward it took 5 of you last time you fought my father and killed him now the odds are in my favor so leave me in peace" the old fox smiles and says "oh really I dont think you have it in you to fight me did she ever tell you what she did when I tore her fathers throat out? did she ever tell you how she cowered behind her mother while we killed most her familly?"
Braxton takes a few steps forward and snaps to Terri. "Den! Now!" Braxton turns and glares at the other male. "I am afraid I do not have time to deal with a vagrant like you. After dealing with man, dogs, flood, diseases, fires, and other disasters... I do *not* have time to put up with the likes of you. You are violating the territory of two foxes, three coyotes, an elk, and two rabbits. Stand down and leave. now."
Halona blinks her eyes as she finally speaks up, "What is going on here?" She asks appearing to be confused as to who the new fox is. Then turns towards the one she does not know, "You should do as you have been told."
the black fox laughs as braxton snaps and says "thats right head towards the den terri leave your mate all alone and cower in the den like a little pup justlike you did when I killed your brothers and father" terri now has tears streaming down her faceits not like her to attack in anger but everything this fox says is hitting her homeandshecant hold back she just chargeshimas heexpectshertoobut she is charging in ablind rage not thinking about hercharge only thinking of causing him pain so the fox is able to side steep hewr charge and pounce her but she responds by biting at any part of him she can her attacks are not the precise attacks she normally does but simply biting at any part of him she can but he responds with more precision aiming for her neck missingonly narrowly in the rucas
Braxton growls, but he doesn't blindly charge in. He just calmly walks up to the older fox and shives into him, intending merely to pin him and talk.
Halona blinks her eyes as she heads over towards the stranger and growls as well. She is not wanting to get into a fight but feels like she
Halona blinks her eyes as she heads over towards the stranger and growls as well. She is not wanting to get into a fight but feels like she should try to help out. The vixen is growling with her teeth showing as she is trying to give the new arrival a warning.
the fox is not downed by the shove inststead he bites hard onto terris ear causing her to yelp letting her go so she jumps back as he then attacks braxton bitting at braxtons eyes and face trying to get to his neck as quickly as posible seeming to be done talking terri lunges forward only to be sim,ply kicke back
Braxton does not go down so easily. Not at all like with Jamie. He just continues pushing, growling. He is doing quite well, in fact. "You are old, you stand no chance against a fox in his prime!"
Halona tries to sink her teeth into one of the stranger fox's ears and trying to help protect her brother and his mate.
the older fox is having trouble fighting all three foxes at once but seeing terri get up and once again blindly attack him he times it right waiting for her to leave herself open and jumps back from the two catching terri by the neck the spot he has been wanting to snag and he has her pinned her eyes go wide as she is gasping inhis grip
Braxton loses his balance as the fox suddenly takes off, wherein he falls flat on his face.
Terri feels him gripping tighter and tighter she gasps as the air is cut off her struggles do nothing to help her get away the black fox seeming to enjoy the look of desparation in her eyes as he watchesher struggle againstt his grip
Braxton finally gets back to his feet, runs toward the fox, and leaps right at him with the intent to knock him off his mate.
Halona quickly gets up as well and watches Braxton for now hoping he succeeds and is ready to go help out just in case.
Terri is nerly unconcios when the black fox is knocked down and pants on the ground struggling o get backto his feet saying "well I dont think I am doing to bad againt you 4 is that the best you got if it is I am going to end up killing your mate before you can save her" jr grins and says "maybr I can jukk that friend of yours terri who is that othervixen?"
Braxton has the fox on his back in the blink of an eye. He is staring down angrily at the other fox, but his tone remains calm. "You seem to have failed to observe that I have you pinned and defeated. You have lost." Braxton says. "Now, again you'll listen to me *very* carefully. You show your ugly hide in these parts again, I'll do more than just pin you."
Halona keeps her attention on the other male fox as she says, "I am no one of any concern to you." She says making her way closer towards the foxes.
the black fox chuckles and says "you dont get it I won I hurt heragainandif you kill me itwill onltyhurt her more" he laughs at braxton saying "you will never understand she will come after me and thenI will have her. terri cannot stop herself I killed her familly she will be easy to draw out if you let me go" terri coughs as she tries to get back up. he continues as he says "then again if youkill me she will never be the sameeither cause it would destroy her think about it sheattacked me because she needed to kill me herself. so either way you lose"
Braxton gets within an inch of the fox's face. "You don't know my mate in the slightest, you damn fool." Braxton says. "You think I don't know her? She is the love of my life. I've spent my life with her. She's not me!" Braxton feels hit by that last statement he made. "...She's not me."
Halona emits a deep growl at the male that Braxton has pinned. "You did not win who ever you are." She says granted the vixen does not know Terri all that well herself but good enough. "You do not know her at all."
Terri smiles anmd says "ytou assume I think she wants revenge but thats not it you see I make her feel weak thats why she fights me and you helped me by telling her to go to the den you gave me the power to make her feel infurior. weak and she has spent her whole life trying to be strong and independant. thats why she wants to fight me and thats why she will fight me noit because she wants revenge but because she wants to proove she is not weak and that is why you lose you see if you kill me she will feel inferior and weak and I doubt she will be the same vixen you know"
Braxton shakes his head. This fool does not know his mate. Braxton knows her. "I'm through with this discussion. I know things you do not. But you'll die now before learning where you made your mistake." Braxton thrusts forward to rip this fox's throat out.
Halona watches Braxton and the other fox not saying anything. Since she can not come up with anything that she will be able to mention.
the black fox seems to smile as he dies seeming to think he has caused terri more pain even in death. terri seen the death andwhimpers not far off she remembers everything the fox did to her ad she still does not wanna see him die. he was indeed wrong she does not feel inferior just mad at herself for losing control she did not wanna attack him like that she should not have let braxton kill him. thousands of thoughts flood her mind of why did she attack this fox why did she want to hurt him so badly she just went into a blind rage?
Braxton spits out what he tears out and steps off of the fox's body. For the first time in his life, Braxton has killed another fox. Not prey: An equal. He turns and looks over at his mate.
Halona blinks her eyes worriedly and turns to face Terri as well to see how she is holding up after what Braxton just did.
Terri whimpers a bit from her neck wounds then gets up and says in a raspy voice "sorry" she looks down and says "I should of done what you said and just gone in the den but I was just so angry I dont know what happened"
Braxton walks over to his mate and tries to lick her neck. "This is not your fault."
Halona frowns as she heads over towards her brother and Terri, "I agree with Braxton."
Terri looks down and says "I feel like it is I feel like its my fault you had to take a foxes life. I did not want him to die I should of ignored him I should have what was wrong with me why was I so angry I never felt ngry like that before"
"For the same reason I'll never forgive humans for what they did." Braxton says.
Halona nods a little to Terri, "It is not your fault. It is his fault. The same as the humans for Braxton it can not be helped."
Niabi slowly approaches the river, keeping a careful eye on her surroundings. When she spots her friends and notices that something's going on her pace quickens, which causes her limp to show slightly. While still far aways she says, "What's happened?" in a calm voice, for it's obvious that whatever happened is over now.
Terri looks down and says :but its not like me I never take my6 anger out on others its wrong I should not have done it and I should of kept a level head maybe if I did he this would not have happened"
"Maybe. But that's nothing to be concerned over." Braxton says. "It was his choice to press it this far." Braxton looks up and sees the elk. "Oh. Hello, Niabi."
Halona nods to Terri to show that she agrees with Braxton. Then turn sto face the elk. "Hello." She says in greeting not explaining what happened because she does not know where to start. Then turns back towards Terri. "I know it is not like you. But sometimes it can not be helped Terri."
Niabi notices that nobody answered her question, but quickly gathers that whatever happened was rather upsetting so she doesn't blame them. "Is everyone okay?" she asks, pressing for more information and letting her concern show on her face as she glances quickly at each of them to determine the answer for herself.
Terri sighs and nods saying "yeah um I guess its hard to explain what happened to you and I not sure I know how niabi" she curls up and says "braxton can you tell her Idont feel well"
Braxton nuzzles his mate. "Go on and rest." Braxton says. He turns and walks toward the elk. "There was a bit of a confrontation and I killed this fox."
Halona looks over towards Terri worriedly, "Rest well." She sdays then turns back towards the elk and heads over towards Niabi direction, "It was not too much longer than that when you showed up."
Niabi looks at Terri but says nothing, worried but unsure of what she could do to help. "What was the confrontation about?" she asks in a slightly more relaxed voice as she turns towards Braxton, still calm despite the news. At the very least nobody seems seriously hurt, and that does much to calm her.
Terri walks awayletting the others talk she just goes off by herself to lay down entering the den as she curls up not wanting to do anything but sleep
"Some blast from Terri's past. Attcked her. I warned him to leave and he kept going... so I had to kill him." Braxton says.
Halona nods a little. "I was wondering what was going on myself. But I got it figured out and I've tried to help out. I did not try to stop Braxton from killing him though and I was not involved in that part either. I only watched."
Niabi's ear flicks in an odd way and her face is briefly touched by an expression of anger as she thinks this over, but it leaves as quickly as it came. "Well thank the mother that you're all right. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No, I'm fine. I might need to cool down, maybe take a walk. I've... I've never killed another fox before." Braxton says."I've fought them to protect my family but... I did not enjoy this."
Halona sighs a little, "I know you did not enjoy it Braxton. I did not enjoy what happened either. If you want to go for a walk. I will stay here."
Niabi nods sympathetically. "I understand. I've killed before... it's difficult. You wonder if you did things differently..." she trails off, leaving the rest unsaid. A moment later she adds, "So if you need to go for a walk, by all means, but if you ever want to talk..." she trails off again, having said everything she needed to.
Braxton nods. "Thank you, Niabi." Braxton says, "I might talk to you after my walk."
Halona keeps her attention on Braxton for a bit, "I will see you later." Then turns towards Niabi remaining silent for now as she's deep in thought.
Niabi nods again to Braxton and, guessing that he probably wants some privacy right now, she takes this opportunity to head towards the river for a drink. Now that most of her concern has been resolved her caution has returned, but mostly on the surface. Her mind wanders elsewhere, bringing back unpleasant memories.
Braxton finally turns and heads for a walk. He killed another fox.
Halona sighs watching Braxton leave then turns around to head over towards the river to take a drink herself.
Niabi drinks deeply from the river, letting the cool liquid ease her nerves. She'd managed to ignore that particular memory for so long... She sighs, turning towards Halona. "He'll be okay, he just needs time and space." she reassures, "Terri too. You'll see." She pauses a moment before asking, "Are you okay?"
Halona continues to drink some of the water until she gets her fill. The vixen raises her head and turns to face Niabi. "I think so."
Niabi smiles warmly at Halona. "Good." is all she says. Being well aquainted with death and all its consequences, she knows better than to keep talking about it unless it's the affected one's idea. If they want to talk about it they will, and if they don't it's better to say nothing. "By the way, I found that willow tree the other day. Thanks."
Halona nods to Niabi slightly, "That is good to hear and you are more than welcome." Then stretches out a little letting out a soft yawn.
Niabi glances at the fresh scar on her right side, "The pain has already gone down a lot - I've been able to make it to the forest the past few nights." Not that the pain involved in getting there wasn't terrible, but she's not going to tell Halona that.
Halona sits down on the ground, "That is good to hear." She says looking around the area. She is starting to feel a little sleepy.
Niabi finally notices Halona's tiredness, having been too distracted by her thoughts before. "You look tired." is all she says, noticing as she does so that she personally feels less tired now than she has in weeks.
Halona giggles a little, "I am a little tired to be honest."
Niabi notices the giggle and is comforted by it, taking it as a sure sign that Halona's no worse off for what's happened. "Well, you should get some rest, then. I can stay nearby for awhile, if you'd like." she offers.
Halona nods a little she does feel bad about what happened though and the giggle was more out of nervouseness not what just happened. She does not like the thought of any one being killed at all. "You can go or stay if you wish it does not matter with me. I should probably try to get some sleep." She says then lies down and has a uneasy night full of nightmares and it brings back a lot of painful memories.
Braxton nuzzles his mate and licks her. He does not know of impending danger. He just knows he loves his mate.
Halona slowly opens her eyes waking up from a nap that she was taking. Before the vixen gets up on all fours to stretch out a little. Then looks around the area to see if there is any one else up and around.
