-:DotW:- Winema's Interrogation ((Ready or Not))

<SeleneTheWerewolf>Winema: The rain had finally stopped for the moment. Though it was still cloudy and the air was warm, rain still held promise during later in the day. Winema was settled outside the main den, eating a fawn. For once, she didn't seem to have to be working. The most she had to do was give the wolves in their den some air moss to keep their dens dry. For the most part, since having returned from the tunnel some days ago with Stallion she'd been trying to keep out Roman's way. Ivan's also, if she'd spot him she'll usually turn the other way or find something to do in her den. Even though it had been a few days, she felt like Stallion's scent might still be all over her. At least once a day; since she had returned from the tunnel she'd flop in a puddle, if only to hopefully mask his scent that may or not be present still. Now, it was morning and she was peacefully eating her breakfast, all the while keeping her eyes open for either Ivan or Roman.

<SuspexDog>Ivan: The large brute was just now returning from one of his unannounced killing sprees, blood dripping from his teeth, and some fur and flesh caught between them too, and the scent of a lone wolf slightly hanging over him. He held his head parallel to his shoulders, and his tail raised into the air. He didn't mind the rain much, and it sure as hell wasn't gonna stop him, sure it made his plans harder, but it was good training, and he needed that. Specially if he wanted to be the biggest, baddest and the strongest. He was heading for the main den, and he perked his ear and raised his head as he saw the somewhat blurry picture of a red she-wolf. Winema... He thought to himself, and bared his blood soaked teeth in a smug and devious grin. This would be fun, however, his expression changed as he got closer, and could catch the smell of another wolf, one he hated.. Stallion... Winema and Stallion? What the.. His smile changed to a frown and he narrowed his eyes, or well, the left eye at least, as the right eye didn't really had much functionality in it any more, for reasons unknown. "Relaxing ourselves, are we, Winema?" He huffed and stopped a few meters from her. Still with his tail and head held high.

<SeleneTheWerewolf>Winema: She'd been watching around her, but not too focused on behind. When she heard Ivan's voice, chills ran through her body. Closing her eyes for a moment, she glanced back at Ivan after opening them. Hm, she wasn't that surprised when she saw his blood stained teeth. The scent of some random--and poor loner all over him. Pressing her ear forward as she stopped a few meters from her, his stance was completely dominant--even though they were of the same Rank. But, she knew that Rank meant nothing to Ivan. She kept a cool expression, but inside her heart was hammering inside her chest. Since bonding with Stallion, she wanted to keep as far from Ivan as possible. And now, after not being around for months..here he stood. "Morning, Ivan. Yes, I am relaxing. I have seen you've been busy." she said, trying to act casual. She licked the dead fawn in front of her and tore a strip of mean from its flank and gulped the piece of meat down, her eyes never leaving Ivan's form.

<SuspexDog>Ivan: He wrinkled his nose in a somewhat snarly expression at her. That scent, Stallions scent, it annoyed him, and just made it all worse. He already did not like Winema, so that, along with the scent of someone else he hated, and far from trusted, didn't help the situation. "I'm always busy." He muttered, true it was though. He never truly took a day off, he always needed to be killing and he always needed to have his blood lust tendered to. He now stepped closer, and took in another good wiff of air, inhaling the scent of both Winema and Stallion. "Getting a tad close to him, huh?" He said, resting his gaze on the female in front of him. This did not please him, at all, and it was ever so obvious.

<SeleneTheWerewolf>Winema: Forest green eyes stared at Ivan, her heart pounding in her chest. He knew. Stallion's scent probably still lingered against her fur. Winema's body grew tense, she did not like the look in Ivan's eye. She tried to remain calm, to show no fear in front of Ivan. As if sensing the wolf that caused them, the scars across her body began to ache. Swallowing slowly, she watched as Ivan began to approach her. Adrenaline was beginning to pump quickly through her veins. "He who?" she asked, trying to feign innocence.

<SuspexDog>Ivan: Once he reached up close enough, for the smaller female to be able to even feel his breath on her, he stopped, starring down, still baring his teeth. "I think you know very well who I'm speaking of." Ivan muttered. Though he didn't seem like it, he was ready to clamp down on her, if that this meeting was going to end bloody, maybe even bloodier than the last one. He wanted so badly to rid the female of this world, but he'd have to try and control himself, though he could almost picture Stallion, right at that spot, instead of Winema, and it had him going crazy, he could feel it in his bones, the intense need to kill or at least attack in a rain of fury.

<SeleneTheWerewolf>Winema: It was all Winema could do to not shrink away as Ivan approached her. Ivan may act like a brainless idiot, but she knew he wasn't. She bit her lip as Ivan stared down at her, his blood stained teeth baring down upon her. Her claws dug into the earth and she soon glowered up at Ivan. The fury in his eyes almost made her wither, it made her want to turn tail and run. She wouldn't though and kept her place in front of Ivan, her tail flicking once every few times. "I don't know why you are getting so bent out of shape for, Ivan. Why is it any of your business whom I get close to? This isn't your pack." she said sternly, yet softly. Her eyes never leaving Ivan's and looking at the mark she last put across his nose. The only mark,..she was ever to place after their last incident.

<SuspexDog>Ivan: It annoyed the brute ever so much, as Winema kept her cool, trying to pretend she didn't fear him one bit. Though it seemed she had learned since their last tussle, after all, a fight with him, could easily mean death. Even if it was unauthorized and unapproved. It hadn't stopped Ivan before and most likely never would either. "True. It's not my pack, but it is my father's pack." Ivan muttered, before shifting his weight between his legs for a moment. Most wolves thought Ivan was the next in line for the position of Alpha, well, at least his baby brothers and sisters believed so, and because of that, Ivan believed it too. He believed it so badly that it sometimes even seemed like he was trying to run parts of the pack without Roman knowing about it, which could explain why he sometimes would be absent for months at a time. Ivan didn't like the trust that the other wolves had in Stallion, it basically made him wanna puke, because it simply irked him that much, how that snug up muppet could get the trust and fall into the liking of so many wolves. "I bet the two of you are up to something.. Something.. Only traitors would do." Ivan started to growl, still narrowing his eyes, breathing in and out at a steady pace, that still, somewhat clarified just how unstable he was at the moment, how angry he was and how close he was to lunge an attack. Every single fiber on his body wanted him to, rather than just stand and keep his cool.

<SeleneTheWerewolf> Winema: "You're assuming things, Ivan. You're putting your insecurities on Stallion and I, just because we're close." she said, growling softly under her breath. Her paws flexed and they dug slightly into the dirt. Ivan's body was wound tight, she could see the tension in his muscles as he basically loomed over her. Being this close to Ivan was making her extremely nervous, but she'd be damned to let Ivan see that. Though the last time she had been beneath Ivan as he tore her ear and left her defeated on the ground, a lot has changed since then. She'd been watching Ivan and she learned a lot from him the last time they were together. Winema wasn't blind to the fact Ivan would come and go from the pack, disappearing for a sparse amount of time. "Traitors, huh? Says the wolf who disappears for weeks at a time." she said coolly, watching Ivan close for any sort of movement.

<SuspexDog>Ivan: Immediately as Winema finished talking, it happened, he lunged at her, full force, intending to push her over on her back and hold her down while leading a new interrogation-like thing on her. Even if he didn't succeed, and if the female would avoid his Iron grip, it wouldn't stop him from speaking to her in that still interrogator way. "What exactly are you assuming, bitch? That I'm traitor? How dare you." He growled, loudly out through his teeth.

<SeleneTheWerewolf>Winema: In a blink of an eye Ivan lunged at her and Winema was on her back beneath Ivan. Her teeth bared up at Ivan defensively, her hind feet once more pressed up against his belly as he pushed down on her. "Learn to deal with it, Ivan." she snarled protectively, "Ya can't go around and assume things, and not think you won't be assumed back. We've been down this road before. You're not a God, Ivan. Ya can't point paws just because you have insecurities, because one..wolf is liked more than you." she said evenly, staring up at Ivan as he bared his teeth at her.

<SuspexDog>Ivan: He held his tight grip, tightening it even more as she started to speak, as if he didn't wanna hear her out after all. "That's not it." He muttered out through teeth and fur as he continuously clamped down on the small female. After all, it was no hard work, specially because she wasn't as big as she wanted to believe, true, she was bigger than Skins and Miakoda, but it was still no match for Ivan, at least not if he had set something in mind. "It's not because he's liked more than me. But he's chosen to be an enemy of mine, that'll mean, you're my new enemy as well.. And you know what someone like me does to their enemies? They kill them." Ivan started threatening her. Even if he would make nothing of it, other than scaring her, by holding her down like this. He already did not like Winema or Stallion. "I guess idiots join forces with idiots huh? So what will you be doing? Finding poisonous herbs for my father under your friend's command? No way, hosé." It was clear that Ivan had now set in mind that the two of them, Winema and Stallion were traitors, even if the rest of the pack didn't believe it. Ivan just hadn't let go of the things Stallion spoke of when they last met, it had made him suspicious. From that sheer moment.

<SeleneTheWerewolf>Winema: She finally felt his teeth on her throat clamp tighter. Any of the other words she would've spoke were choked from her breath. Scowling up at Ivan, she shifted her hind paws so they began to dig into his stomach as he tightened his grip on her throat. Something flickered in the back of her mind, if he got any tighter he might pierce her flesh. Who knows what blood would do to Ivan. She placed her front paws against his shoulders, trying a fruitless attempt to push him off, but he was all muscle beneath her paws. _{"You're not stupid enough to kill me now, Ivan. Not with how your father is aging. It'll do you no good to have killed his Healer."} she wheezed through a closing windpipe. _{"Poisonous herbs, huh? No, I'm not. I am trying to keep your father alive and keep him from feeling pain."} she growled softly.

<SuspexDog>Ivan: His jaws was still locked around the females throat. His good eye narrowing at the words she spoke. She was right.. and she was the only Healer that the pack had, the only one to keep Roman alive. Ivan thought for a bit, letting slightly go, yet not completely. He didn't want her to run off, or try to lunge back at him in an attack. Not that he was scared of her, after all, she was so much smaller compared to him, and his strength must surely be exceeding her own. "But I still don't trust him. Stallion, and you two are too close. Who knows, you could easily turn, and take the life of my Father, we cannot risk that now, can we?" Ivan said, somewhat repeating his previous statements. It was clear he didn't trust Stallion or apparently anyone that seemed close to him or 'friends' to him. They are all traitors... How can Father not know? Ivan thought to himself. As he thought to himself, he lost more of his concentration and eventually ended up letting go of the female in front of him.

<SeleneTheWerewolf:>Winema: Gasping heavily as she felt his jaws release some of the tension on her closing windpipe. It was good thing, she was feeling light-headed. However, she still pinned beneath him. "Well, if you take over the pack as heir, you won't have to worry about him, would you?" she asked, finally able to breathe. She noticed his jaws and released her as he retreated into the depths of his own mind. Wrong move, Ivan, she thought. Throwing her weight into her hind legs she shoved his against his upper torso with both her hind paws and her front paws. Hopefully shoving him off her, she lunged at him teeth bared and ready to clamp down on any flesh that might meet her teeth. She was mostly aiming for his remaining ear. Revenge for taking her own..it wasn't enough that she had merely scratched his nose, Ivan would take away anything he could get a hold of. He was threatening Stallion and if Ivan took over the pack...

<SuspexDog>Ivan: The large male was immediately woken up from the depth of his own mind, as he felt the female push against him, managing to shove him off her only because of his own distraction. His gaze quickly fixated on her, just to notice her lunge at him. His first reflex was to move away, to avoid any damage this female could possibly put on him. He felt her teeth grab hold of the edge his remaining ear, thanks to his own actions. It was his own fault that she caught hold of the side of his ear. however, he didn't have any attention of standing still and wait for her to get a better hold to tear the whole ear off, he couldn't afford that. He refused to it. He refused to end up looking like Jack, the weak litter-mate of his that he had brutally slaughtered in a fit of rage back then. Years prior to Winema joining the pack. Ivan made some distance between himself and Winema, and shook his head, shaking it for a short while, before whipping his head in her direction once more. This time baring his teeth in a wicked and ominous smile. "Oooh you're done for." He said, in a somewhat serious tone before breaking out in manic laughter.

<SeleneTheWerewolf>Winema: She felt her teeth sink only a bit into Ivan's ear. It was only small tear, but she felt it nonetheless. Bouncing away from Ivan, she turned toward him, her teeth bared. Only a bit of Ivan's blood smeared across her lips. But, her wicked smile drained, as if it caught up to her..what she just done. The last time she marked Ivan, he tore her ear off. His wicked, maniacal laughter sent chills down her body. Shit, she thought. Looking toward the forest line, then back to Ivan. Breaking out into a run, she sped off to the forest.

<SuspexDog>Ivan: His eyes followed the female as she ran, and he chased after her. However, he decided to give her a bit of a head start, so they could engage in a deadly game of Tag or 'Hide and Seek'. He would enjoy this, and even more when he caught her, she would be a trophy. No doubt.

<SeleneTheWerewolf>Winema: She'd just angered the Devil, all because of revenge. Now, it bit her in the ass. Looking behind her she saw Ivan giving chase. He wasn't like Stallion, he could be built for speed and strength. A deadly mixture. Leaping over high roots, her claws dug deep into the earth to get more traction. One last glance behind, she saw him falling back. She took this chance and took a quick turn and leaped through the brush. Long branches from the brush pulled at her fur. Spotting a thicket of brambles and thorns, she dove into them. Biting her lip from the pain as the brambles pulled at her fur, hopefully it didn't pull out any of her fur to leave behind. Turning around, she crouched down in the bramble bush and waited and watched...

<SuspexDog>Ivan: As he lost sight of the female, but not scent, he slowed his pace, down to a slight trot, before he slowed down to a steady walk. His ripped ear was perked and he kept taking in deep breaths, heaps of air and the scent caught in it. His grin grew wider, and both of his eyes were wide open at this point. His tail raised in dominance, and his head held parallel to his back and shoulders. "Come out, come out, wherever you are, and I promise you, your death shall be swift and painless." He spoke. It wasn't bluff this time, he was dead serious, if he found her, and caught her now, he would end her, no doubt, and the female probably knew that. After all, he had warned her, already at their first meeting. Truth is, there was a limit to his generosity, and she had used all the generosity he had possibly held for her. It was over. He stopped to look around, still with that wide grin. "If you don't come out by yourself, I'll have to find you and have you dragged out in the open in the old and classic way, and if I have to do that, oooh ha ha ha ha.." He started, and began to laugh an ever so insane laugh, as he walked in and out between the trees, searching. "I'll break your legs at first, then your lower back.. Might rip off your tail as well, oooh and your other ear.." He began to explain, his mouth watering in anticipation of all the fun he'd have with it, and the food he'd get out of it. "Then I am going to tear up your chest, your belly, shatter your intestines on the ground, smothering it with your blood. I'll eat your heart, your lungs, your flesh.. Oh yes.." He licked his teeth as he took a break from telling. "Are you still listening to me, my girl?" He asked, loudly, and once again let out a loud and insane, maniac laugh.

<SeleneTheWerewolf>Winema: The snapping of twigs nearby sent her on full alert. He was nearby. Then, his voice. Her fur bristled and she put her paws over her muzzle as he began to speak about the horrible things he'd do to her. Hardly breathing she caught movement just out of her peripheral vision. Ivan had just come out from behind the trees. Biting back a whimper she watched him from the safety of the bush, having no intentions of walking out.

SuspexDog said the following:

He continued to walk around, searching for the female. "Ooooooh Winema, my darling, you're only making it worse for yourself." He chuckled, before breaking out into another maniacal laughter. Then he stopped, he took in a deep wiff of air, trying to pick up her scent, and he got it. You're close, I can smell you, Winema. He thought to himself, before walking in the direction of her scent, his head held low to the ground, constantly sniffing to keep track.

You're not getting away. He thought, as he licked his teeth. "Ready or not! HERE I AM!" He yelled before he dashed for the bush she was hiding in, she ought to be quick if she wanted to avoid another attack from him.


----------
SeleneTheWerewolf said the following:

Her fur bristled as she watched Ivan burst into another fit of laughter. Another wave of chills ran through her body. He turned, straight for her after he lifted his head. Oh no, he'd caught her scent. Looking around, she tried to find another spot to hide. She spotted something, just as she saw charge toward her bush.

Scrambling to her paws, Winema tumbled out of the bush just as Ivan pounced upon it. Breathing heavily, she raced toward a tree that had some low hanging branches. Looking back quickly at Ivan, she scrambled up the branches, her claws digging into the bark. Her hind paws scrapped across the bark to try and get far from the ground as quickly as possible. The muscles in her front legs strained as she struggled to get higher in the tree.


----------
SuspexDog said the following:

He chased her to the tree, and his gaze followed her as she scrambled up into the tree. His ear was perked and he narrowed his good eye, as he still looked up after her.

A loud growl started to emit from his chest. "Listen carefully now, Winema. If I ever see you again.. Don't you dare think I won't hesitate to kill you." He started to explain, before licking his teeth, now baring them in a wide and creepy grin. "You best hope I never see you again." He continued, before opening his mouth and then snapping his jaws together with a loud clapping noise, as if he was demonstrating the power he could force onto his jaws, before he turned to walk away, at a slow and steady pace. As if nothing had just happened.

He didn't stop to wait for her to come down, cause chances was she wouldn't as long as he was around, and he did not have all the time in the world to wait for her to come down.

---------
SeleneTheWerewolf said the following:

Winema crouched in the branches that were just high enough to avoid Ivan coming up after her. His cold-eye stare gave her painful chills down her spine. A shiver racked her body violently as he snapped his bone-crushing jaws. "Don't worry, Ivan..you'll never see me again.." she thought as she watched the large male steadily walk off into the woods.

He acted as if nothing had happened, but to him nothing did. Shifting her body in the branches, she made herself comfortable. She was not coming down anytime soon, she'd probably end up spending the night in the tree... In the morning she'd go back home..and stay the hell away from Ivan..
