Don't Play Koi [Sirius]

His call was answered swiftly, even as Dove's eyes watered from the pain he kept silent. A growl of distress bubble up from his chest, and he felt it as the wolf sank low, preparing to increase the force behind his bite and a shriek split the air and Marshal dove at breakneck speeds, talons extended as he struck the wolf and came away with only fur. The bird soared up and up, getting away as the wolf finally released Dove from his unforgiving hold and the darker wolf sagged with relief. He pushed to unsteady midnight paws, his head up to keep unneeded tension at bay as he turned on the wolf, teeth bared in anger. Fear swirled through him, bringing his ears down to his dome and his tail up to his belly. The two emotions were at war within, survival calling for dominance as trauma stifled it in a vicious, heady mix. The anger won, as it bloomed to rage, the same as it had when Sirius had taken that first swipe at him. Dove took a step towards the man, unsure what he would do, as he knew little to nothing of battle. That didn't stop him from taking another step, his paw landing heavily in the grass as he parted his lips, prepared to do or say anything--and the man was gone. The sounds of a fight let Dove know what his nose had easily recognized. Sirius fought his attacker, and the battle, though ferocious in its intensity, was over moments later as the brown and white wolf was flung over the edge of the cliff, his screams fading before abruptly coming to a halt. Dove panted, his chest heavy, his scruff bleeding, as Sirius collapsed on the edge. Though he'd been the one to call for help, his mind scrambled to keep up with the sudden turn of events before he finally clambered forward, ungraceful in his rush. "Sirius, you--" Didn't know what to say as he snapped his mouth shut, the scent of the other's wolf's blood like a claw to the stomach. "Bast," he said suddenly, a whisper before he raised his voice. "Bast, are you here?" He head whipped around to search for the feline as he gently, so gently, prodded Sirius. |
