Hunter & Prey

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka ran quietly through the forest with her wad of clothes in her mouth and her shoe laces tied together and drooped on her neck. She came early as to make sure he would not see her like this and kill her. Sure, she could have come in human form, but it would have taken her forever to hike up here.





Stopping in the trees, she dropped her clothes and changed into her human form. Quickly dressing, she fixed her hair as to make sure she didn't look like had just been running through the forest as a pure white wolf with glowing blue eyes. Pulling her hair back and putting it in a perfect high pony tail, she sighed and examined herself.

She had on her favorite v-neck t-shirt and her best push-up bra along with her favorite pair of shorts that came about half way down her thigh. Her tight t-shirt was a navy blue and her shorts were a tan color. She had on her favorite knee-high mink fur boots. She hoped she looked nice.


Walking through the trees she came out to the meadow where she was going to meet him. This meadow was the entrance of the park. She sighed and sat in the grass, waiting.

[Eri]

Seth moved through the woods the only way a trained werewolf hunter could. He was completely silent, though he didn’t even realize he was moving like that. He had no scent as well, since the last thing he wanted was to leave it all over the park. He had re-wrapped the wound on his side, and had changed into a pair of worn jeans and a gray tshirt. It was snug against his form, showing off his toned core. Normally, it was a shirt he wore for less rigorous tasks...but he felt like it would be a good idea to look a little presentable.

There were scars in random areas on his arms, some faint and others looking fairly new. They were all in the shape of werewolf claws, but being attacked by werewolves was something that wasn't unheard of anymore. He didn’t like wearing long sleeves when hiking. It became too stuffy for him.

His uncle had thrown a fit at his phone call, but he was expecting it since he was supposed to call the moment he arrived in the new town. Still, he had everything squared away, and his uncle was going to be going through Asia for the next few months so he wasn’t sure when he’d get back into contact. If he didn’t receive a letter within six months, he was to take up his role.

God, he hoped the old geezer didn’t get killed.

He arrived in the meadow, shaking the small pack of ‘hiking’ equipment he had brought. It was more of a front, but he had various other weapons hidden on his person anyways. “Luschka! I’m not late, am I?”


Do most girls look like that when hiking? I was pretty sure hiking was less...

[Âłíșōñ]

Lu smiled and jumped up effortlessly. She ran to him and hugged him happily. Not letting go of him, she chuckled and looked at him. No, I'm just early. I was too excited to wait any longer,she said. And also, I didn't feel like hiking up here as a human, so I came as a wolf, early so I could get dressed and you wouldn't see me change and then kill me, she added casually. Nope. Still doesn't sound right, she thought to herself.

She stayed close to him, with her arms wrapped around his neck. She hoped sometime tonight they would get to make out or she would at least get a little tongue. She smiled and looked into his eyes, rejoicing to be with him again. She thought of how much she would love it if they made out and he had firey passion

[Eri]

"You still had to wait for me though." he mumbled, seeming upset that he hadn't come early himself. Not that he could have anyways, with his uncle babbling on and on and on about work. Today was his day of relaxation!

Well, if it was he wouldn't be scouting for werewolves....but that's not the point.

He returned her embrace, placing a kiss to her temple before looking ahead. "Do you have any favorite places in the park? You said you liked to explore and hike, right? You probably know the best spots."

[Âłíșōñ]

Lu sighed with a little disappointment. Of course, she thought. She touched his face and shook her head. Only for two minutes, and honestly, I don't mind. She hugged him again and then stood straight in his arms. She grinned, playfully and chuckled. Yup. All of them, she said with a huge smile. I know this whole park like the back of my hand.

Luschka looked behind her and then back at him. Taking a step back and out of his embrace, she took his hand. Where do you want to go first? The highest peak, or the lowest? The lightest, or the darkest? The coldest, or the warmest? Honestly, I like the darkest and the highest. They're both amazing. The darkest is my favorite though. She spoke with a beautiful smile playing across her lips and her china-doll-like features mobile in thought.

[Eri]

"You're the master of the forest, so let's see how high we can get first. I like to get to a high point and look out first, personally." He grinned, "Don't worry about me falling behind either. You won't have to yank my arm off."

He had found her description of the forest a little off, but then again he did tease her for being a little crazy. He squeezed at her hand, "Hopefully there won't be an audience around here..." he added quietly as he tugged at her hand to signal he was ready to go.

[Âłíșōñ]

Hearing his soft comment her heart thudded unsteadily. I wonder why he wants no audience, she thought, a little hopeful. Smiling, she led him across the meadow, to the hidden path that led up to the highest point of Moon Shadow Point. Walking up the trail with him she wondered how this night would play out. If they indeed did make out she would need to watch where she put her teeth, as it could be very life-changing. She walked a little ahead of him, but not by too much as she wanted to be close to him.

Lu smiled as they reached the thinning in the tree line. They had walked in a quite manner for a while and now they were finally here. She knew when she was on the highest point her fur practically glowed and her eyes actually did glow. But she had never been up here as a human before. She hoped her favorite thing in the world, besides Seth, wouldn't expose her and ruin their relationship--or even worse, kill Lu. A shiver ran down her spine and she took a deep breath. She slowly walked out of the trees and onto the flat, rocky plateau.

Looking at her, she would look slightly different to the very careful eye. Her hair acquired this very strange lumonessence and her eyes shone a little bit brighter, but it was barely noticeable. She sighed with relief and brought Seth to the very center of the plateau. She smelled the air discreetly and relaxed internally when she made the discovery that no wolves nor humans were present. It was only he and Seth. Lu looked up at the sky and thought. To Seth she must have looked radient. Hypnotizing almost. But to a werewolf like her, she was just the norm. Well, at least that was how she felt.

[Eri]

Seth followed after Luksha, every once in a while reaching forward to play with the hair that dangled in front of him in a teasing manner. He would pause every few moments, gathering tuffs of fur and taking note of tracks. He would then quicken his face, and play at her hair again once he caught up before laughing silently to himself. He probably looked a little strange.

He was walking beside her when they reached the thinning in the tree line. He was slightly confused when she took a deep breath and walked out of the trees and onto the rocky plateau.

Then he found himself muttered in old languages; watching as she seemed to light up. “You probably hear this a lot, but you’re really beautiful.” He finally said, taking a step onto the plateau carefully. He looked down, noticing a paw print in the dirt. It wasn’t new, but it didn’t look old either. He paused for a moment, kneeling down for a second to get a better look before standing and looking towards her again.

“I can see why this is one of your favorite places.” He commented as he stood in front of her. He carefully reached out, playing at her hair like he had when following her.

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka noticed the paw print and cursed under her breath. It was hers. She suddenly got worried but then realized that there was no way he could know it was hers. Shaking her head slightly, she heard him call her beautiful. She smiled and blushed and turned to him. Actually, no. No one's called me beautiful before. And it was true. She had always been with werewolves her whole life, so she was just considered a little above normal.

She nodded and when he told her that he could see why this was her favorite place she thought maybe he did. And then again, maybe he didn't. When he walked over and started playing with her hair, she smiled and turned to face him. A question still burned in the back of her mind. Why would he want no audience?

[Eri]

He watched her, his head tilting slightly in questioning. She seemed tense, or maybe nervous. "Well you are, and you now know it." He said, his eyes moving away momentarily. He was worried the werewolf would be nearby. He had his weapons, but protecting someone wasn't easy.

His gaze returned to her, "is something bothering you? You seem tense. I swear, I song bite. I'm a little old fashioned though."

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka shook her head and put her hands in her short pockets. No, I'm fine. She sighed and walked toward him with her head bobbing loosley. Pursing her lips, she thought about what would happen tonight. Would he find out she was a werewolf, like she feared? Would they kiss, like she wanted so badly? Would a werewolf come, like she so hoped would not happen? What ever happened she would have to be strong and brave. Just like the Beta she was.

Pursing her lips she watched him cryptically. What were his plans for tonight? When would she find out? There were so many questions going through her head over, and over, and over, and over again. Tapping her mink booted toes with frustration, she tried to not to make it obvious, but it was clear that she wanted him to kiss her. She kept staring at his lips timidly and then her eyes would dart off to the trees.

[Eri]

He let out a sigh of relief when she said no, but he couldn't help but feel that she was only trying to appease him. He glanced back at the paw print, wondering what she would think if he told her he was a hunter. He wanted to at least let her know he hunted werewolves, but there was such a mixture of responses to that statement he didn't even know how to approach it. Not that he would go into detail on his job, but just to let her know he was in something dangerous.

He opened his mouth to ask a question, but his brain fizzled out as she stepped close to him again. He could not think very straight when she did that, and all thoughts of revealing a little about himself went straight out the door.

She pursed her lips, only reminding him again of how soft they had felt only a few hours ago. Oh, now he wanted to kiss her again. Was that a first date thing though? He chuckled, realizing that he had already passed that step earlier. She was still here too, which meant she obviously liked him. Er, well...probably.

He reached forward, placing a hand to cup her face as his rough thumb traced the skin on her cheek. His tan skin contrasted deeply with her pale cheek. He watched her eyes carefully, and couldn't help the smirk when he saw her gaze go to his lips.

Well, there goes his doubts completely.

He placed his other hand on her waist, at first slightly nervous that she was taller than him. Yet, he still managed to lean forward, catching her mouth with his warmly. He was gentle, as though still asking for permission to do so.

[Âłíșōñ]

Lu's heart skipped a beat and her breath caught when he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to him. He kissed her gently as if he was unsure if he should be kissing her at all. Hell, let me show him how I want to be kissed. Treat others the way you want to be treated, right? Her breath came in a wild gasp and she twisted her fingers into his hair. She returned his kiss with a much fiercer one of her own and she pressed her body into his with a deep desperation.

Lu came up for air, but only for a second, not that happy she had to break the link of their lips to breathe. She smiled as they kissed. Though she was as close to Seth as she could possibly get, with their bodies practically as one being so close, she yearned to be even closer. Her breathing was ragged and came in wild gasps and her body moved fluently with every breath, her chest constricting and then loosening and then constricting again. She wasn't much taller than him, maybe two or three inches, but it didn't matter now, with their lips locked in a passionate kiss and the feeling of every line of their bodies against eachother.

[Eri]

Well, he was rather surprised at her sudden ferocity against his mouth. He was used to drunken kisses, sloppy and mostly there for the swing of it since his usual bed partner was a random woman. He was sober currently though, and this had emotion in it he simply wasn't used to.

Not to say he didn't enjoy it. He smirked, a devilish grin crossing his features as he happily returned the intensity. The hand that had been resting against her cheek had moved down, ghosting her neck and down her side before grasping her waist once again. He pulled her closely against him, arms now wrapping behind her as he dipped her back slightly to gain a better angle.

When she came up for air he didn't seem to mind too much, moving down to trail butterfly kisses across her jawline and neck before moving back up. "You could've just asked me to." he murmured.

[Âłíșōñ]

Lusch chuckled evilly, rejoycing in this steamy embrace. She gasped and pulled his mouth back to hers before responding in a breathy tone. Didn't think you'd want to. She pulled him to him again and continued kissing him with this new found fierceness. She had never felt this way about someone before and she really liked the way this passion and love felt. Her heart sang in her chest and for a brief second she worried about her heart embarressing herself. But then she got caught up in the way his lips felt on hers and the worry melted away.

Lu suddenly felt like telling him she loved him, but she had no idea how he would respond. Would he feel the same way?Would he be afraid of the commitment and run away? What would he do? She whimpered reflexively at the distress, but thank God it didn't sound like a werewolf. More like a whimpering child. Her heart felt like exploding or breaking from all this love. It was almost overwhelming. She felt herself become more intense, more fierce with this new fear. She wanted him to love her back. She held him to her with strength bordering human and werewolf, but still she could pass as a very strong human.
