The Voices in My Head [Calla]

[Rache]

The forest was heavy with humidity that made Rache's fur damp and weigh her down. She had just been out exploring, mostly because she wasn't suppose to. Things that were prohibited were her favorite. So far she had been listening to the whispers of the tropical birds above. They chattered about everything form eggs to the weather. Most of what they said were simple sentences and straight forward. No complicated thoughts seemed to possess them. Which was boring to Rache.

She sighed, the trip had started off fun but now it just seemed to be a bunch of work.. and walking. She was getting tired, hungry and now her fur was getting dirty. Next time she would bring one of her siblings along for entertainment. If they didn't annoy her too much first. The pup sat down with a huff. Her siblings always annoyed her. Wasn't there anyone who could entertain her?

Just as she thought that she heard the musings of a mouse not far off. With an evil grin she prowled over toward it. The small gray creature was nibbling on a nut, completely focused on it's task.

'Munch, munch, chew, nibble. Gasp, smell! Danger!'

It's little eyes got wide but it was no use, Rache had already gotten close enough to catch it. She played with it like a cat for a moment before crushing it under her dainty paws. The squeals of it's agony made Rache's blood burn with excitement. Nothing could ruin this moment for her, nothing except for the rustle of the bushes. The small pup whipped around and snapped, "Who's there!"

[atrb=background,http://i55.tinypic.com/23jsmrp.jpg] The Calagris trotted through the Jungle contently, it wasn't everyday when it was so peaceful out here. The birds chirped back and forth restlessly. A smile danced on her maw as she continued on, gazing at the flora around. She dodged a few trees occassionally, until she heard an overwhelming shriek. Calla's ears flicked and burned, wishing they would stop. She snorted and started off in the direction of the shriek. She wanted to get away, but maybe she could force whatever was causing it agony to leave it. To help it. Finally she arrived, and saw a young pup with longer legs and a stouter body than most wolves she's seen. Curiosity got the better of her, and she walked forward, ignoring the mouse's shrieks. She stepped on a bit of the flora in front of her, but she ignored it. Curiosity killed the cat..er..tiger. Calla didn't care. She sniffed at the air in front of her before continuing into the pup's full view. She stopped when there was nothing blocking their view of each other and blinked as the pup asked who was there. "I'm Calla," she announced slowly. She figured it was no use to try and talk to a wolf, since they didn't speak Calagris. Calla let out a long breath and locked her gaze on the pup, wondering what it would do next.

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/6mqS.png] Ebony, like always, was in her panther form, prowling the jungle for food. She still remember her last few encounters here and none were very nice. Many scars now covered her midnight black fur adding more fear to her already quite intimidating look. When in a wolf she was a gorgeous beauty and none would suspect other than a wolf of kindness but most who knew her here knew that she was anything but that. She lifted her nose to the air and was surprised to catch two scents. One of a wolf and the other a horse, or what smelled mostly like one. She gave a deep rumble which could only be made by a large cat and sunk lower to the ground. She slithered across the forest floor barely making a sound and approached the scent of the creature. Ebony passed a few ferns and came in sight of large animal. It was clearly a Calagris as she could see the tiger half and the horse half. She was about to stalk it went a shriek echoed through the trees and the female calagris darted off. She gave a bit of a snarl and took off after it, though always keeping a safe distance behind so as not to be spotted. When the creature finally stopped it was in front of a small pup. Ebony tilted her head as the pup carried the same scent as the pup she had met not a few days before named Riccarda. She skirted around to the side to watch this encounter and see what both of the animals would do. She heard the the Calagris give a half growl and half neigh and turned to see what the pup would do, so she crept a bit closer keeping to the shadows, the only part of her visible were her emerald green slitted cat eyes but if she was seen that would become a problem and like all say curiousity killed the cat.

Rache startled as the half horse, half tiger showed it's self to her causing her to let up her attack on the half dead mouse. The pup took a step back from the larger animal. She had never seen such a thing before. Maybe this little adventure wasn't such a good idea.

Thats what Rache thought until it spoke. It was like any other animal, she could understand it. And it was more intelligent the the small fry she had been chatting with so far. This could be fun, she grinned wolfishly.

"Calla huh? Pleasure to meet cha. My name's Rache, wanna play?" her tail wagged as she spoke. Calla was bound to be more fun than her siblings. Rache briefly entertained the thought of riding Calla and stored that thought in the back of her mind to ask about later. First she had to become friends with her, and who wouldn't want to be friends with Rache?

[atrb=background,http://i55.tinypic.com/23jsmrp.jpg] Calla snorted as the little pup took a step back. The typical thing to happen for a fearless predator such as Calla, but Calla only wanted to see how the pup acted around her. She was curious, because she'd never seen a pup such as this one before. Calla's eyes widened as the pup spoke back to her. It can understand. "You can understand me?" she asked shocked. She sighed. "Well, Rache, since you can understand me, what kind of pup are you? And sure, I guess." Nothing could go wrong playing with a pup, right? How could a calagris play with a pup, anyways? Maybe the pup was ignorant of what kind of species she actually was. It didn't seem too scared of her, and even wanted to play. Of course, all pups want to play. The scent of another came into her nostrils. Her tiger instinct kicked in and she moved toward the pup in a protecting motion. She scanned the horizon, but didn't see anything but an emerald glow. She squinted her eyes, and saw the feline pupils. "Stay still, Kid," she mumbled.

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/6mqS.png] Ebony watched as the Calagris gave a sort of snort then listened as the pup, named Rache replied asking the female Calagris whos name she now knew as Calla. Then watched as the creature stopped dead and walked slowly to stand defensively in front of the pup. They had noticed her hiding and now that she was this close she could see the power in the animal. It would be no use, she would lose a lot of energy and may gain and reopen wounds. She hissed and stepped out of the shadows changing her form as she stepped into the light. "Greetings Rache and Calla is it?" she looked to both as she said their names and even though she knew the beast couldn't understand her she had said her name anyway. Ebony would have to find a meal elsewhere there would be no point in fighting such a large and strong creature. Her eyes turned to the pup, now she knew that this pup was Rica's sister but what was she doing out her alone and talking to such an animal. She sat down and surveyed the clearing with her slitted green eyes her tail curled around her paws. Wolf Stock | Forest Stock

Rache was ecstatic when Calla agreed to play with her. She had never spoken to such a large animal and was glad to see they were smarter than mice. This would be fun, and she could keep Calla all to herself and not tell her siblings about her. Rache was just about to explain that she was a hybrid and about how special she was when the Calagris' attitude suddenly changed.

"Stay still, Kid," Calla mumbled as she move in front of Rache defensively. She didn't like being called kid much, mostly because that was her fathers name, but didn't get a chance to say as much. A black wolf with green eyes stepped out into view. Rache bared her teeth, how dare this wolf trespass on Mafia land. She'd show her just what the mafia did to trespassers.

"Greetings Rache and Calla is it?" the other she-wolf said, as if she could understand the Calagris. But that couldn't be possible right? This wolf was nothing like her or her siblings. One look at and she knew neither could understand each other.

"What are ya doing on Mafia territory?" Rache challenged, puffing up her fur and growling.

[atrb=background,http://i55.tinypic.com/23jsmrp.jpg] Calla narrowed her eyes and stood her ground as the Panther creature stepped out of the shadows. She didn't know such a wolf was possible, but she didn't know Rache was either. Her ears flattened against her head, and the charred wolf began speaking, or it seemed like it was speaking. Calla felt more at ease as the wolf sat down and curled her tail around her paws. She snorted and turned her gaze to the pup. The pup was baring teeth viciously. Then challenged the wolf, and tried to make herself look bigger. Calla stepped out of the pup's way and watched the pair curiously. The pup had some guts, considering how much older and experienced the shape-shifter wolf seemed. OOC// Sorry, short. D:

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/6mqS.png] Ebony's eyes narrowed, she was drenched in the mafias scent and she would think that by now she would have passed as a member by most pups or newer members but it seemed this pup wasn't fooled. "Such bravery and attitude for one as young as yourself. I am here because I wish to be and because none of youre pack has noticed me besides you, you are quite smart and Im sure youll grow into a fine adult." she smiled. Ebony looked to the Calagris, head tilted, and opened her mouth to speak to Rache while still looking at the creature through narrowed eyes. "What are you doing here all alone anyways, where are youre brothers or sisters, mother or father, a lot of bad things can happen to a pup all alone in the jungle. Starting with talking to strangers." she continued to size up the other animal, no she would not attack it for she had no intentions of getting injured but just incase it attacked her.

Rache growled again. This wolf was treating her like a kid. She was old enough to squish mice and slice worms. She wrestled with her siblings when it was necessary and she could handle herself when she went out on her own. Rache was a big girl! She could take care of herself. Rache appreciated that Calla had move out of the way, making it easier to yell at Ebony

"I wouldn't be talkin ta strangers if strangers weren't trespassin. Sides I'm not alone. I'm here with Calla and I can protect her just fine. I'll have you know I made one of my brothers cry the other day!" Okay so her brother crying was a lie but she didn't know that. Rache almost wished that Calla could speak wolf, that way the Calagris could back her up.

[atrb=background,http://i55.tinypic.com/23jsmrp.jpg] Ebony tensed, and Calla felt victorious, for some odd reason. She snorted and continued watching the black wolf. Just in case that wolf decided to transform and try to take a bite out of her, Calla tried to stay on the guard. If anybody was going to get injured today, it wasn't her. Calla wasn't sure about what Ebony was saying, but knew whatever it was angered the little pup. Rache growled, and started yelling. Calla snorted as the pup mentioned her safety, feeling more so that the pup had it confused for the other way around. She didn't say anything about it though, so planned to let their display continue on. She dug her front hoof into the ground, and watched the shape-shifter with narrowed eyes, sizing her up just as the animal did to her. She wore a smirk, feeling proud that she was such a rare animal around these parts, and that she was tall; barely challenged. OOC// -sigh- This one way communication thing makes it hard to write with a lot of muse. lol

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/6mqS.png] Ebony turned her eyes back to the yelling pup and filled her eyes with false fear, even though she was laughing inside. "Oh did you now? And I'm pretty sure" she paused as she didn't feel like it was necessary to call other animals by their names, she continued "Calla here can protect herself and doesn't need a pup to defend her. And if you even lay a claw on me, I will teach you true strength, then you will wish that you had spoke to me nicely." Ebony's patience was thinning and fast but he wouldn't attack unless absolutely necessary especially since her opponent would be a pup and she wouldn't dare hurt one. If it did came to a fight she would keep her claws sheathed and just bat the pup with her paws, the strength in one would knock her off balance anyway, she had nothing to worry about. She continued to sit and stare at the yellow and black pup all emotion gone from her eyes and a blank expression on her face. The only thing she feared an attack from was the Calagris as she could do some serious damage, unlike the pup, and she knew that the creature could understand the pup and if they were friends then she would take the hostility and tone in Rache's voice as a signal to attack, then Ebony would be in trouble. Also if the pup's parents came into view and they would most likely notice that she was not from the Mafia but a loner that looked like a threat but if she smelt them coming she would meld into the shadows and remain unseen and most likely leave mafia territory as already she had been discovered by two young pups but luckily that was all she had run into.

Rache growled, incensed that this loner would dare talk to her in such a manor. The only ones who she would ever let get away with that was her sibling, and even then just barely. But just maybe the little hybrid pup knew this was a battle she couldn't win. It was probably the only thing truly keeping her from attempting to attack Ebony. The only battles Rache had ever fought were mock ones with here brothers and sisters, and while she got the occasional nip she had never been truly injured.

"Well you should just leave," Rache sniffed, turning her nose up in the air. Her fur was still fluffed up in agitation and her claws dug into the soil below but she tried to make herself seem dignified. "-before I have to go get my dad to take care of you. Dealing with trespassers is beneath me anyway."

ooc: again sorry for short post. T_T
