A Little Down Time

[Deleted]

 Ondine smiled, walking on the lush grass of the woodlands. Her fur had been soaked from a previous rain fall, but the dense pelt and the winds felt nice to her. It was soothing, and the most relaxing thing to Ondine. Her golden fur shone brighter due to the wetness of her fur. Her silvery brown eyes slid shut, opening quickly to regard her surroundings. They were still, without a doubt, beautiful.

 Ondine sighed.  She had just returned from her old pack. She wasn't welcomed. They hated her. Especially since they thought she was dead, or betrayed them. Why she had gone back was far beyond her own knowledge. Maybe she missed them. Maybe she needed to get back at her brother. Whatever reason it was, Ondine now knew to never go back; they feared her, HATED her. And all because she was to torn apart to do anything else.

 Ondine craved to see Adrian. She had missed him badly. But she also craved to see Suta, maybe more then she wanted to see Adrian. Suta was more of a sibling then Severin ever was. Ondine could tell Suta everything. Not that she couldn't tell Adrian anything; she trusted the two most.

 Finally, after feeling what was too long to be away from the others, Ondine threw her head back in a long, soft howl. Suta. Adrian. I'm home.

[Suta]

Suta

When Suta heard Ondine was back in the territory of the Rain Pack, she knew something would have changed. Over jealousy and loneliness, her pure feelings were hidden. Ondine now had a mate with Adrian, the wolf that found her lying half dead in the forest and took her in with the bit of politeness he had. Suta's fur frilled and her anger brightened. But the coming of her only friend was there. Her thought was to see Ondine as a friend, not a stealing fea.

"Ondine's arrival has come! She is back from her voyage, Suta!" One the pack member shouted. "She is? I know that now." Suta sighed and walked out of the shaman's den. Her bones popped and her body forced wait on her settled frame. A shake to start her body and she was ready to run. "I will return with Ondine. She is most likely in the forest alone on either way here." Suta cleared her throat and trotted into the forest's edge. "Here I come Ondine."

Suta lunged forward and with a large push, she bolted through the forest. Not moments after that, she came across Ondine. Suat did not slow down, instead, she lunged at Ondine with a small and tackled her. "I am so happy to see you, Ondine!" her tail wagged furiously and non-stop. She chirped and squeaked in excitement. Her body thrashed as her tail forced her wait side by site, her hips rocked from left to right and her tongue lolled and licked Ondine's face over and over. "I heard you went to your old pack. Why haven't you told me you were going?!" She sniffed Ondine, slowing down her body to catch her breath and stop her tail from pushing her body all over the place.

She finally regained her breath and she looks at Ondine with her tail not shaking anymore. "You do not seem very happy from coming back from your pack....Ondine." Suta licked Ondine's ear and sat down. Her body shook as gravity pushed against her.

Notes: There might be some drama. But Suta is very happy to see Ondine. She's been lonely. ;-; 
P.S. I might make a table for Suta once I figure out my scrolly issue.

"Suta!" Ondine smiled. While her friend licked her, Ondine couldn't hlp but giggle. She wanted to return her friends affection, but couldn't while she was laying under her. She managed to lift her head enough to nuzzle her friends neck. "I didn't tell anyone. Not even Adrian. I wanted to tell you before I left, but I couldn't find you! So I just left, and wanted to return as early as possible so I didn't worry you." Ondine said, standing up when Suta sat down. She moved to lick her friends cheek, nuzzling against her. Ondine was happy to be home. "Next time, make sure you don't almost kill yourself when you're happy to see someone." Ondine laughed, referring to her greeting. "Although, that was a lovely greet, dear Suta." Ondine spoke, shaking her golden head. Oh how she had missed this. She should've brought Suta with her. Ondine would've had more fun.

"Oh Suta. The pack used to be so loving, and cherished every member, even if they had left for a little while. It's not there anymore. They thought I was dead. My old friends shunned me, and my own brother attacked. They're nothing more then a cruel now." Ondine growled. She remembered how her brother greeted her. But she greeted him back the same way. Ondine almost loved the fear they had of her, not knowing whether she was a ghost or not. She craved that from them.

"But enough about me, Suta. I want to know what's been going on with you." Ondine said, nuzzling her friends fine white fur. It was easy to say she had forgotten about Adrian in the past few minutes; Suta was here. Her best friend had just given her the greeting she craved from her brother.

Notes: Suta and Ondine need to talk about 'things' -coughsutayouknowcough-

[Suta]

Suta

Suta nuzzled Ondine with her black nose. "I'm glad you appreciated it! It's been about 3 days since you've been gone." When Ondine started to mention about her pack's greeting to her, Suta's fur raised to it's brim. "Well.." she sighed. Then Ondine began to speak again. What was going on with me? Suta's ears lay flat on her head. She didn't know how to answer that question, nor did she know how to remember what she done. "I personally do not remember what I did when you were gone. It felt like I was trapped in a slumber and never ate, without you..." She looked at Ondine directly into her eyes.

Her body responded with joy had stopped. She became serious and wanted answers. "A-are....are the rumors true, Ondine?" Suta did not want to speak of Adrian's name. It seemed like he was an evil spirit, and Ondine had fallen into his evil. But in reality, they were just wolves who fell in love. Regular wolves, not abnormal dark spirit her tribe called. "I-I'm sorry.....I just.." Suta whimpered and hung her head. She let out a sigh that steamed out of her nostrils. "What I mean about 'the rumors' is.....are you and Adrian...." Suta never finished her sentence. The mention of the word 'mate' created anger in her. But if Ondine said mate, it was the truth. She looked up at Ondine.

P.S. I got distracted.

[Emma]

Emma left the brook she'd been at and was heading back through the forest. She enjoyed her early morning walks and always tried to go a different way. She liked to keep it interesting. She listened to all the sounds around her as she walked. It was summer and all the birds were out in full force, singing and chirping along with all the squirrels and rabbits who were heading back for their burrows and trees before the day completely started.

She heard something and perked her ears up, hmm a rabbit. She hadn't really eaten yet today so maybe this be a good time for a quick meal. She got low and began to make her way in the direction. she she the lone rabbit facing away from her munching on what she guessed was his breakfast as well. She got down and focused before leaping out of the bushes and onto the rabbit, quickly snapping its neck in her jaws. She grabbed her meal and kept on her way back to the dens, she'd eat it there just encase someone needed her for something early this morning.

"I promise I won't leave without you coming next time. It'll be fun for both of us." Ondine smiled, "We'll go hunting too, just so your full." Ondine said, stretching out and shaking her fur. Her silvery brown eyes gazed around, while Ondine lifted her leg to scratch at one of her irritating itches that were so hard and annoying to scratch at. She turned back to Suta as she started to talk. By the way Suta talk, Ondine shuffled nervously. Had Suta liked Adrian? Ondine got a gut-twisting feeling in her stomach. Had she stolen her best friends crush? Ondine took a deep breath, exhaling and looking back at Suta, while still shuffling nervously.

"Suta... they are true. Back in the woods, that's when we agreed to being mates. I thought you knew, I mean, you did join us a little later. I'm sorry if I hurt you, Suta. If you liked him, I never knew..." Ondine trailed off almost shamefully. Had her friend liked Adrian? What would this do to their relationship? Ondine buckled uncomfortably, looking at Suta. "Suta... have I ever told you about my old mate, Pierce?" Ondine asked, her silvery brown eyes closing tightly at the reminder. "Pierce and Adrian, they were very much alike. Pierce was just, a little more open so to say." Ondine murmured, looking at Suta to see if she wanted a continuation of her past complications.

[Suta]

Suta

"Thank you, Ondine. That would be grateful. Well, there is one thing that has changed for me since the past month that I have noticed. I haven't been as submissive as before...and I've been strong." Suta began a small smile, avoiding her question she asked before. Her tail wagged slightly against the wind that happened to be blowing through the forest. Suta stopped smiling and her tail, yet again, stopped wagging. "they are true" Hieek.....no.... Suta's jaw dropped slightly and her breath escaped from her. She plopped on the ground and covered her head with her paws. It was a bit too dramatic, but the feelings Suta is experiencing is jealousy. And she never had this feeling from when the new child came into the tribe.

And then Adrian. And then Ondine. Suta whimpers silently, digging her nose deep into the ground, laying her ears against her head. Ondine spoke again. "N-no.....I haven't. Why do you bring him up?" She peeks through her layered paws, hoping there was a good reason. Before they could speak, a screech of a rabbit and the sound of rumbling leaves catches both of their attention. Suta's ears and head popped up. Her tail raised slightly, becoming an arch from gravity. Suta gasps, "What was that?" She began to shake in fear of if it might be an aggressive male. "O-Ondine...." She looks at her, pressing her ears back to her head. Suta stood up and sniffed the air. "It's another female wolf. Ondine?" She looks at Ondine and then lowers her head to the ground and sniffs her way towards the other wolf. "Who is it? What is your business?"

"That's lovely Suta!" Ondine smiled, licking her friends ear. "And the other side?" she asked cautiously. It's not like Ondine didn't hate Suta's other side, more she worried for her friends safety. If it came out at the wrong time, then she could be hurt badly. When Suta lay down after her answer, Ondine's stomach churned once more. "Are you okay?" Ondine asked worriedly, nudging her friend. She didn't want to hurt her friend. That was the last thing Ondine wanted to do; especially if that friend was like her sister.

Ondine thought about why she brought up Pierce once more. When she opened her mouth to speak, the scent of a newcomer drifted into her nose. When first feeling Suta's uncomfort, Ondine stood defensively over her friend, before Suta seemed to gather some strength. Feeling the beta inside of Ondine rise, she pulled in front of Suta, jumping down in front of the fae. "Show yourself." Ondine stated, her voice was borderline defensive. She didn't want to scare the fae away unless she tried to attack.

Ondine looked back at Suta, before turning back to the fae. Although nothing about Ondine gave indication of a higher rank, only being a mere hunter, an old sense of dominance radiated off of the fae. She was a Rain wolf; her duty was to protect the pack.

[Emma]

Emma was carrying the rabbit for a bit before she caught the scent of two other wolves and stopped, she sniffed deeper, two females. She slowly came out of the woods as they said and looked them over. She was higher rank then the one who was questioning her and the other, she'd seen around the pack a few times before, now she remembered she was a guardian. She'd seen her around sometimes.

She dropped the rabbit she had just killed and watched the wolves again, " Hey, easy. Im Emma, one of the alpha's guards. Sorry if I startled you, im usually one of the only ones out here this early in the morning." she watched over them again, mildly surprised by how aggressive they were, she knew not every wolf knew her but she wasnt as stranger to the pack.

[Suta]

Suta

Suta looked at Ondine and then back at Emma, "I am Suta. Nice to meet you, Emma. I never realized that you were apart of our pack. Apparently we haven't met everyone." Suta smiled at both Ondine and Emma. She seemed to be quite okay with the situation, but since she has never seen the female that appeared out of the bush, there is a great deal of alert that flowed through her aging body. What if the female were lying? She can not smell the scent of the alphess, nor did she smell the scent of the Rain Pack's strong damp scent. Suta will only have to drift with the position Emma labeled herself and hope for the best.

"Is there anything we can do for you? Maybe find some water, shelter, another meal....." Suta eyed the rabbit hanging from the mouth of Emmas', "since you have a small snack hanging from you jaws." She looked up at Emma's eyes once again and approached her from behind Ondine. "Ondine, my sisterly friend, and I were having a bit of a private conversation. It isn't much exciting business around other wolves, do you mind?" Suta stood up and waited for Ondine to interject; Suta glanced over at her with a tad of a smile. It soon dropped to a frown when she rethinks of their conversation.

"I mean, you do not have to leave, it was only a suggestion. We could just talk it over, you may not really have any idea what we are talking about, but we can always change the subject. What we are talking about is a bit.....depressing." She smiled again only pacing in front of the females. With a sigh, she sat.
