Blood Brothers
Lagging, he seemed to always do this. He always seemed to trail behind taking a little more time to check out the area and scout for good spots for them to stay. Nose to the ground the earth toned male was checking for fresh scents. These lands were new and he was interested in checking things out, memorizing different marks so that when they came across these areas again he would know where they are. He also had more interest in meeting others and making some friends. Looking up he tried to spot the grey brother. He must have taken off ahead. Huffing the tall male picked up his pace, spreading his stride to cover more ground. It only took him a few moments to spot his brother. Barking to let his brother know he was approaching he came up behind him before slowing his pace to match his brothers. "Hey there was a fresh deer trail back there, wanna take a break and trail it?" he asked. They had been moving for a while and this territory seemed to be a good place to take a break. "Speech!" |
'My my, what a little shit hole this is.' The wolf froze as the voice sounded in his head, his whole body going ridged. They had been quiet for so long, only quiet around his... brother. Shit. His head turned and confirmed his thinking, he had walked ahead. His earthen brother was somewhere behind him, far enough away that the voices that plagued him spoke up again. He growled and shook his head, trying to scatter her voice away. 'You should know by now that you can't get rid of me forever, darling,' she cooed, her voice like silken tendrils trying to ease his mind. Erebos growled, his right front paw picking up just to slam back on the earth. 'Great, throw a tantrum like whelp.' His gray and white tail flicked back and forth, hackles raising. "Shut up Aletha," he snarled, turning around to try and see where his brother had gone. He needed the silence that came with his litter mate, craved a way to make the voiced cease to exist; at least for a little while. 'Now now, is that any way to speak to a lady?' Eunike piped in. Erebos started to breath hard, his chest heaving as he tried to push their voices away. He heard the laughter of Liliya enter his mind, until finally he heard paw steps behind him. Beau came up to him, and his mind was silent once more. He let out a deep breath, hackles settling somewhat. Turning his pink and blue gaze towards his taller sibling, he narrowed his eyes in irritation. It was of course, anyone's fault but his own that the voices had returned. He didn't ask for them. He didn't want them to stay. For almost 3 long years had they tortured him, pushing him to kill again and again. But then his long lost brother appeared, and for once he could hear the birds singing over head. It was like the wool had been pulled from over his eyes, allowing him to finally think for himself. Or at least that is what he told himself. Beau spoke up then, saying that he picked up a deer trail further back. They had been walking for awhile, it would be nice to rest for a bit. But what was this place anyways? Far from home, good for a fresh start. No one knew what he was here, or how many lives had been taken by his jaws. Letting out a sigh, he nodded his head. "Yeah, hunting would be good." he said softly, waiting for the taller male to lead the way. 'Aletha speaks' 'Eunike speaks' 'Liliya speaks' |
This is a mean, cruel man at times. He can be unpredictable, swears, and bites. The voices in his head can say very not-nice things as well, please thread at your own risk.
Beau wagged his tail lightly as his brother agreed, glad to have a bit of a break. Turning the taller male led the way, taking on a slow lope so they can take it easy a bit. The taller male glanced to his darker furred brother and smiled lightly. He was wondering how his brother was feeling, not just physically, but mentally. He seemed pretty with it so far today so maybe he was feeling better, or maybe he just had a better mood. Beau prayed and hoped he could aid his brother and help him to remain on the good side. He hated to see his brother become mad and tortured again like he was when he found him. He had also hoped this new land would provide more relief and a fresh start. Ultimately he hoped for the best and had big dreams. He hoped both him and his brother would find a pair of nice ladies to settle down with and have a family and remain close to his brother's side the rest of his life, but of course Beau knew they just had to take it one day at a time. "Speech!" |
At his brothers side, the world was silence once again. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, ears pulling forward as he listened to the sound of the world around him. Birds sang over head and the wind rattled the leaves. So, not total silence, but at least his mind was clear. His anger was slowly starting to ebb away, his breathing slowing to a normal pace. He nearly missed Beau's words, but he finally opened his eyes and caught the tail end of it. How was he feeling? "Like shit," he said gruffly, shaking out his fur as his mismatched gaze fell to the horizon. "But it's always better with you around. This new place... well hopefully it will be better here." His words were softly spoken, a final sigh leaving his maw before he padded along to find the scent of the deer. He needed a good distraction, and hunting might be the best thing for him. He would be able to sink his teeth into something, to draw blood and sate the blood lust that lingered just under the surface. Or was hunting the best? Blinking, he shook his head back and forth, looking over his shoulder to eye his taller brother. "And you? It can't be easy dragging my sorry ass all over the place." He teased, one corner of his lips pulling up in a lopsided grin. 'Aletha speaks' 'Eunike speaks' 'Liliya speaks' |
