The monastery was really quite a sight to behold.
Wandering around the towering stone walls, Nathan seemed adequately distracted, even awed by it. But his mind was wandering to the notorious historical figure behind such a great piece of architecture. Vlad Tepes, better know as Vlad the Impaler, the origin of the Dracula myth. Nathan couldn't help but ponder, what if there were vampires, as well as werewolves?
Then, maybe his fight wouldn't be quite so hard, having the lycan's mythological enemy doing some of the work for him. But he supposed that would take away some of the fun. Continuing his journey, he eyed the entrance to the national park; his goal. For tonight, Nathan Auduss was on a hunt.
The young man carried a large black rucksack over one shoulder, filled with weaponry and items to help him track the hideous beasts, as well as items to help dispose of their corpse afterwards. He already had a client asking him to kill a male werewolf, spotted around this area, but he had his eye on another as well. A young lady that he'd had the... pleasure of meeting earlier in the day, who he had rather the hunch was another disgusting wolf.
Entering the national park, he chose to stick to higher ground, but darted from one heavily wooded area to the next, putting on night vision goggles to ensure he saw them before they saw him. Pulling a rifle from his backpack, already loaded, he continued his journey, determined to shed blood tonight. |

[glow=white,2,300]Eclipse Holt [/font][/glow] What part of 'born wolf' don't you understand? [/size][/color][/font] Rarely ever venturing out this far, Eclipse found himself moving deep and deep into the forest, closer and closer to Validus lands and Bucharest. The Infiniteria Alpha lifted his head, nostrils flaring trying to pick out even a hint of why he was wondering out here. The monastery wasn't far off, but with him coming from the Eden Town side, there wasn't a lake to cross over so it was easier for him to get to the blasted piece of history. A soft growl escaped his lips, but he quickly shushed himself as his audits picked up a sound.
Drawing his black trench coat closer, the werewolf strained to pick out the far off sounds, only catching the sounds of the forest around him. It wasn't until her heard the far off sound of metal against fabric that his honey orbs narrowed and his brow furrowed. Oh, he knew that sound well, at least a part of him did, the part that was more often hunted by those with the guns and packs. Lifting a lip in a mock growl, he thought about trying to play it off as him being a simple hiker. Glancing down at his outfit, he knew instantly that it wouldn't work. What hiker went out in a Eden Town steel mill work shirt with the name 'Bob' stitched on the front? And a hiker would have a pack, wouldn't be wearing a black leather trench coat, combat boots, and simple blue jeans.
Claws lengthened as Eclipse turned to the nearest tree. Looking up, he found a tree branch large enough to support his weight. Bending slightly at the knees, he lept up, branch more than seven feet above his six foot three inch height, but his claws found the trunk just a few feet sigh of the branch and he clawed the rest of the way up. At least this way, he could watch the new prey from above and it needed, there was somewhat of a path away if he needed an escape . . . . If Eclipse would use it was a better statement. Tucking his coat tails under his thighs, Eclipse balanced on the balls of his boots, noticing two seconds to late that there were boot prints all under the tree he was in. Luckily, there was a bit of cover from the leaves around him, but not enough to truly hide his bulk.

Legs propelled her body forward as she ran through the forest. 'Lucas cant keep an eye on me all the time' she thought. Skidding to the left on her paws she jumped to a fallen tree and looked around. Niyah was big enough to look after herself. Or so she thought. To everybody else in the pack she was still a pup. Huffing a breath she stretched her muscles and then took off again yapping out playfully as she pranced around the trees. Stopping for a brief moment she she saw a stick and grasped hold of it and whipped her head to the side and let the stick fly through the air before chasing after it then she took off again.
After a while of playing she casually trotted across the ground and then smelled a scent. It was quite familiar. 'Nathan?' she thought and she followed the scent till she could hear him ahead of her. Freezing she watched him pull out a gun and her body bristled. 'Thats why he didn't feel right to be around! He's a hunter!' she growled to herself. Then she remembered the male's lighter. Not thinking she shifted back and pulled the fabric out her pocket that held the lighter inside. 'Well he's not getting this back' she thought picking the light off the fabric but then yelped dropping the lighter as well as jumping back snapping a few twigs. "What the heck!" she growled rubbing her hand. She froze for a quick moment remembering Nathan then shifted taking off back in the direction she had come. 'Gotta get away!...gott get away!' she thought pushing her legs faster.
She was not about to get caught again by a hunter. Azuki had saved her once but she doubted the female was around for another round. Dodging around trees to avoid any bullets if she was shot at she then skidded to a stop by a tree smelling the scent of Eclipse, Azu's alpha. 'Crap...not good' she thought shifting back to her human form. She had to find somewhere to hide and quickly. Her eyes searched for somewhere to hide then she spotted a tree that somehow had the base of it's trunk gone. It was just dark and big enough for her to hide in. Turning on her feet she dived inside and shifted again and turned watching for the hunter or Eclipse. Little she knew that she had been standing jut below him.

Hearinga faint scramble of footsteps, their pace quick and rapid, like the footsteps of an animal, before quickly pausing and becoming that of a human, Nathan hunched down, a grin creeping across his features. His target was close by, and the yelp helped him hone in on her; it was most definitely a female, and most likely the very girl he had stumbled upon earlier that day.
Keeping close to the ground, he began to move in the direction of the voice, stopping as he came across his lighter, settled just on top of the earth and a scattering of fallen leaves. That decided it; his lighter was silver, meaning she had to be a werewolf to be harmed by it. He noted paw prints leading up a slightly inclining pathway towards a large oak tree, and detoured round, figuring that there was a high chance that the wolf would be watching for him. Moving silently through the trees and foliage, he eventually came to rest a stretch west of the tree, raising an eyebrow as he noted that the trunk was covered in... human footprints?
His attention was taken away from the bottom of the tree, where Saniyah hid, instead travelling up to the top of it, spying a shadow crouched on one of the thick branches, vaguely obscured by leaves and branches. This surely wasn't a coincidence. Figuring that this person was most likely a werewolf as well, he put the sight on his rifle to his right eye, training it on the figure, waiting for a few moments to scope out the situation instead of jumping in and firing. A mis-timed shot could be the difference between life and death, after all. |

[glow=white,2,300]Eclipse Holt [/font][/glow] What part of 'born wolf' don't you understand? [/size][/color][/font] That pup? Eclipse watched as the female that Azuki had saved from a Hunter before hid in the hollow of the tree he was hiding in. No, the poor girl didn't need to be here right now. Trying his hardest not to growl, Eclipse didn't even look around to make sure everything was fine. Instead, he took one step off the branch and dropped to the ground, balls of his feet taking all his weight as he spun around, clawed fingers reaching out to the young girl. "You shouldn't be here!"
[/color] he growled low under his breath. As soon as the words left him, his nostrils flared with the scent of human and metal. With his back to the outside world, he allowed himself to slowly step forward, while also turning on his toes, back scraping against the tree hollow and trapping the girl behind him and blocking anyone's shot to the girl. "I see your gun, sir,"[/color] he growled low and deadly, trying to play human but he figured it was useless. If the Hunter was out here with a gun as powerful as the one he was holding, there was no chance he would believe him.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] |

Noting the man's growl, and the glint of light on extended, curved claws where his nails should have been, Nathan's mouth set in a tight line, keeping the rifle trained on Eclipse, now certain that his hunch had been right. He seemed to be trying to protect the girl... perhaps there was a pack in these very woods? The thought unsettled him a little, making him realize that erradicating these beasts would prove harder than he'd initially thought.
The man didn't seem to fear Nathan's rifle, instead trying to take more of a civilized, even human approach. How... odd. But no matter. He could play along. Lowering his rifle just a little, he met Eclipse's gaze, his own green eyes showing no sign of fear, only steely, cold determination. "Indeed. I am here to hunt, but I'm sure you already knew that." Holding a gun gave the otherwise nervous and awkward man a strange confidence, the metal connecting him to the part deep within his psychology that was a cold blooded, emotionless killer. The hunter within him... The part of him he was proud of.
"I'm surprised you chose not to run." |

She could hear Nathan coming closer and then she jumped seeing Eclipse jump down and reach out for her as he said "You shouldn't be here!" She opened her mouth to say something but saw him turn away trapping her behind him in the hollow saying to Nathan "I see your gun, sir," Heartbeat sped up as she started to panic in the hollow of the tree. She very much disliked small spaces. Her eyes searched around Eclipse as she saw Nathan come up saying "Indeed. I am here to hunt, but I'm sure you already knew that." "Yea, looking for me!" she growled accidently aloud behind him. Then she covered her mouth and then watched him from a crack in the bark. "I'm surprised you chose not to run." she heard him say to Eclipse and she frowned thinking 'I don't think Eclipse would run even if he wanted to, you hunting idiot'
She looked around inside the hollow and then sunk to the ground on the inside turning her back to Eclipse's and started digging as there was a small hole. Niyah hated using her claws in her human form. She let them sharpen to a point and dug even more and even starting to chip away some of the bark to make sure her body would fit through in order to get out.

[glow=white,2,300]Eclipse Holt [/font][/glow] What part of 'born wolf' don't you understand? [/size][/color][/font] Eclipse listened to both the Hunter before him and the pup behind him. It seemed that he wasn't the only one that had trouble controlling his pups, but that was for another time and place. "I was born . . . I do not run when my blood is on the line,"
[/color] he growled. Even though Saniyah wasn't part of his pack, this Hunter wouldn't have known that, but he was sure Lucas would do the same if it was turned around. If he was in wolf form, his audits would have perked and turned toward the tree hollow behind him. It seemed little Niyah was getting smart. If she could get out of here and run, at least she would get out of here, whether she brought help or ran right to Lucas he could have cared less. "Mind if I ask why you are here, Hunter?"[/color] he growled, focus back on the man before him. It was pretty simple to see why he was here, but anything he could do to stale the pup, he would do.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] |

Keeping both his gaze and his aim level, he raised an eyebrow slightly at Eclipse, studying him for a moment, taking in his apparent want to protect the little whelp that hid behind him. He couldn't help but imagine that if the pup had been his own blood as he claimed, he would most likely be doing less talking and more attacking.
Perhaps the pup was not of his kin... or his pack. The man could provide some useful information, yes, but along the same tangent, he also posed a serious threat. Here he was, face to face with an adult, male werewolf, whose authoritative stance and nature seemed to allude to him having a position of power. Perhaps he was high up in one of Romania's werewolf packs?
"I am here for the girl. I have been tracking her for a few days... All the better that I got double for my money. Mind if I ask what you plan to do now? After all, I am the one holding a gun, I'm curious to know what even a werewolf can do when facing a rifle." |

She continued to dig till Eclipse asked why Nathan was here. Her head turned back for a moment then kept digging till it was a nice size. Shifting to her wolf form she squeezed through the hole being sure to not give herself away. Her ears pricked as she heard Nathan say he was here for her and curious what Eclipse would do against a hunter holding a gun. Her fur bristled as she turned around peeking from the side.
Of coarse her instincts were telling her to run but she wasn't about to leave Eclipse by himself though she was sure he could fight Nathan off. Growling lowly she bared her teeth and flashed out from behind the tree and Eclipse going toward Nathan. Flashing by him she turned back and leaped toward his arm her canines ready to pierce flesh.
