Here we go again...

[solyss]

It was hard to tell what sort of mood she was in...all emotion seemed to have slipped away from her on the soft breeze, and she could only watch herself fade away...But now, she just needed to stop, the constant motion was wearing away at her body and will, yet she had not felt comfortable enough to not be moving. This meadow was large, quiet, and so somewhere within her subconscious mind, a trigger had been fired to cease her movement, though her immediate thoughts protested at first. She stayed close to the trees, not wanting to being in an excessively open area, her dial wavering side to side, searching. Her movement was sharp, although her leg was dull with an aching throb. It must bee quite a sight to others, her mangled leg was crooked in various spots, it seemed hardly reasonable that it could even function...but it did, and she needed to get off of it if it were to continue to be so.

With a great sigh she sat down, clearing her thoughts, attempting to remain calm. A bird chirped overhead, sparking her adrenaline, causing her to jump. She scolded herself with a nervous laugh and dropped her head to run her tongue along the wounds of her limb. She hadn't really looked at it for a while, it seemed her immune system was doing its work in keeping the area free from major infection. Her gaze lifted and scanned the area, where was she now...? In her ceaseless searching, she had no idea what it was that she was looking for anymore, every time she thought she knew, her world had crumbled around her, it takes so long to build one's own world...her's was still fragile, a dome of glass willing to break at the first drop of rain.

A big gray muzzle opened slightly in half and a long pink tongue emerged. His eyes lazy rolled around at the sky then back at the ground. Today was Pretty boring for Phantom as he hardly knew anyone around these parts which left him a bit to much time alone. His long legs pushed up as he rose and began to walk slowly across the meadow, sniffing the ground as he when along. All his got was the smell of the bug and flowers so he opened his mouth and picked up a few ants wanting something to chew on. His ears flew up as he spotted something in the distance but he hid quickly lowering into the ground and watching from a safe distance “Had it saw me?” he asked himself . He closed his eyes and tried to listen for any noises the stranger might make but he heard none. He lifted his head slightly up to peek, it looked like a wolf. He blinked and thought it would be rude to just hide and not introduce himself. He rose and began to make his way towards it slowly trying not to startle it and made small noises so it would know he was there. “Hello” he said quietly and stared at it, noticing it was female he rose his voice into a quieter tone “Hello” he repeated .

[solyss]

It wasn't quiet enough for her to be too relaxed. Flapping overhead sent her ears tight against her skull, this feeling left her sick and numb, she wanted it to leave her alone...she wanted the world to stop causing her suffering...but what was really causing it? Fear was something that she had learned fairly quickly, but it never did any good, it was not a great mechanism in getting out of rough situations, because it impeded upon rational thought and comprehension. It had become a habit, a compulsion, and she couldn't erase it from its etching within her brain.

Footsteps...she knew those from any other sound, she didn't want to look, to acknowledge what she already knew by smell and hearing, but she did anyway...She heard his voice, a soft hello, and the words struck her thoughts with the sharpness of a knife, though they were calm and quiet. Her jaw gaped, eyes widened, exposing the icy bluish gray orbs in their chilled, dull state. " He-hello " She spoke, her voice quiet, scratchy, and shaken. Her veins pulsed with a near fire, heart pumping madly within her narrow chest. She didn't know whether to run or not...because fear was having its sickly affect upon her mind. He didn't attack...that could be good, but then again she had never been attacked physically, only tricked mentally. She was frozen in time, unable to make any decision or action.

[twisted]

OOC:So sorry major block!

Phantom flinched and his ears pressed tightly on the sides “Did I do something wrong?” he asked sadly. He was always taught to be polite and it looked as if he did something wrong but she did look a bit scared. His eyes saddened and his tail dropped. Inside his mind he was reminded all of his mother’s lessons but it didn’t work. He had warned her about his coming and had said Hello. Did she not like the way he looked or did he remind her of somebody? He watched her awaiting her reaction still disappointed he released a small whimper, the sight of her made him sad.

Her eyes softened slightly as she watched the male, who obviously wasn't about to do anything harmful, who looked sincere. Still, she couldn't trust her young foolish wishes that everything wold be fine and dandy. She expelled an aching sigh, shaking her head as his question. " No, no...I though- " She paused, catching herself mid-sentence. " No, you haven't done anything wrong, I'm sorry. " She offered a forced smirk, still eying him with some suspicion.

Did someone send him? Was he following her? No...she would have noticed. She drew a few deep breaths and calmed herself to the point where she was at least no longer shaking.He whimpered, a soft sound that wove into her ears, running through her mind with confusion. Her head tilted slightly, watching him..." My name...is Vacia. " She offered softly, trying to bring the tension level down some more, collect her thoughts, and think clearly. Her head turned in either direction, searching for others...just in case.

[twisted]

Phantom still looked sad and his ears and tail still were down. He felt a bit more relived at her words and actions but still didn’t feel right. He cleared his throat and spoke once more “I’m sorry If I troubled you” he searched around for anymore wolves, incase she had a mate more friend that would chase him away. “My name is Phantom but you may call me Phan” he bowed his head completely, if this had been a male he would have kept his eyes and his mouth pointed directly into his head but he didn’t want to disrespect this female “That’s a pretty name” He said smiling. Inside he still felt bad, Vacia probably didn’t want tot be disturbed “If you like I can leave” he said moving his head slightly away in a disappointed state but he was willing to leave the meadow to her.

The thought hit him. He had seen horses and wolves ordering others around. This was normal but they did it so much more aggressive then natural. Her over heard something about others keeping the same species as slaves, the thought scared him so he kept low. Perhaps he was face to face with one of them. He wasn’t sure, this could just be a loner. He wasn’t really taught must from a hidden pack. It was very small but he had left it a long time ago.

She watched the male, her oceanic eyes dull, without any spark of intrigue. You don't have to leave if you don't want to...but I think I have to go soon...might not be safe..." She shuddered lightly, always having the feeling that someone was watching her from the shadows. " Phan..." She let the word roll off of her tongue, it had been a while since she had needed to use that specific portion of her memory to store names. " What is this place?...I mean..." She shook her head trying to find what to ask. " Are there packs...?"

Well, duh, there would be packs, but she didn't know what it was that she wanted to know. The thoughts couldn't line themselves up properly or something...Before she left, she wanted to get a better idea of where she was...in case something took her by surprise later.

[twisted]

Phantom sighted inside “Good…” he thought. He might be able to find out more of this place perhaps make a new friend but what did she mean by ‘not safe’? His head tilted slightly “What do you mean” he asked as his ears rose once more and his eyes filled with interest. His upper lip lifted a bit quickly . He didn’t know what she mean “Um, the meadow I believe?” he said confused “I’m not sure what you mean by packs” he blinked not really sure. Did someone want to hurt her? He was being to fear this wolf and what she may bring but he couldn’t just run away, it was in his blood to stay no matter what was to come. He had just recently left his pack so he didn’t know much about the place but he knew what was what.

His eyes looked farther into the forest, beyond the trees but he could not see anything. Were there more wolves somewhere around here? He had spotted a few at his times here but they were usually in numbers of one or two. He had left far from his former pack and by now it would be a long trip to get back, a trip he was not planning anytime soon.

She shrugged at his question, regaining some composure. " Its just that sometimes places aren't safe to wander around...I didn't want to get caught somewhere at the wrong time. " She closed her eyes for a few seconds, then opened them again, their appearance was softer...less wild with frenzy and fear. " I was just wondering if you had any knowledge of what kinds of packs were located around here, though I am guessing you too are a loner? " Her voice had steadied somewhat, but was still soft.

Her ears swiveled with each small noise, but she didn't jump when a squirrel raced past. She hadn't heard any sign of other wolves around here yet, so that was good for her overall state of mind. So there sat two clueless wolves, lost in a place they knew nothing about. What a lovely scene for trouble of some sort.

[twisted]

OOC: I know I power played slightly =[

Phantom blinked confused “I don’t understand..” he shivered a bit. Vacia made this place sound like a death zone. Phantom swallowed hard and shook his head awaiting Vacia’s next sentence “Well no I don’t know and yes I am a loner” He paused and there was a long uncomfortable silence. Phatom lowered his ears “I’m sorry but may I ask how you got here?” he paused once more and closed his eyes into the silence “You don’t sound like your from around here” he spoke knowing that he too was not from around here at all

She sat trying to blink away the mess that was boiling in her brain. Reality was beginning to take hold, meaning she'd been idle too long. Her way of staying away from reality was to move, ceaseless, blindly, before she had enough time to let anything sink in. But, it was sinking...fairly quickly. Her chest eased into steady, deep breaths and she half listened to the male as he spoke, asked her questions...made her think.

How I got here? She lifted her eyes to his, her gaze softer, but strained, " I walked..." Well, duh, her emitted a nervous laugh. The waited a few moments before speaking again. " No, I'm not from here...I don't know where I'm from, I don't know where I am...I have no clue where I am going..." Her head should be pounding, but it wasn't, she was stepping back, listening to herself...watching from afar. I think, that I have been confused for a very long time...the most I know is that I am here now, speaking with you, and I haven't found any reason to leave yet..." She was sort of talking to herself more than to him, but it was helping slightly to unravel her thoughts and bring in some more clarity to the situation.

[twisted]

Phantom blinked but did not laugh. He did not say anything as she spoke. Her words confused beyond explaining , it made him feel weak. She was even more lost then him but not lost in this area but more lost in her mind. He wanted to help her , make her feel better but he didn’t know how to help her or even how to help himself. He just stood there completely silent he didn’t really know what to say but his face was serious. The meadow winds hit him lightly carrying sweet smells, he did know why Vacia had said this place was so dangerous when it was so sweet and pretty. He took a deep breath and sighted but his eyes remained locked on her.. Still silent

Her icy eyes were shadowed by her heavy lids for a few seconds, trying to force back the tangle chaos of her thoughts that so often left her sick and confused. She looked back at the wolf, her expression forlorn. I should go.... She shook her head, then glanced around...somewhere a decision had been made that she needed to explore this place more before she fled again, maybe something here would be different...her mind wandered as she stood up, slowly, with pained muscles and a throbbing mangled limb.

" Phantom...perhaps I'll see you again " Her brow furrowed with uncertainty. " Thank you for not being...just thank. " She stumbled over herd words as they came out in random spurts, then pivoted to hobble off slowly, to find another place, perhaps another life...just something different.

(no muse xD)
