A Kind Heart and a Wolf's Courage (Semi literate) Filled

[Darth Revan]

((Okay, that's fair. Although he may not get a new computer for quite some time. I guess a week more won't hurt.))

When Tyr had left the room, Wolf gathered the plates and mugs and took them into the kitchen. He piled them on the island and went back into the room he stayed in. He put sheets back on the bed from the spot on the floor that he slept. After a few years of sleeping on the ground, a bed feels strange to sleep on. After finishing making the bed, he looks to the bed Tyr was supposed to sleep in. Seeing it as pristine as it was the night before, made Wolf a little uneasy. He didn't like how close he was becoming with Natalya. There were too many questions when it came to this strange man. He went to Natalya's room to talk to her in private about him, but when he opened her door he saw them talking. He was helping her dress. He fixed a stern look on his face and was about to ask that he have a moment with her, but Tyr mentioned it would be a good time to leave. His face softened. He was right, their talk would have to wait until they were properly away from those pursuing them. He gave a slight grumble and nodded in agreement.


Tyr gave Wolf a slight nod of acknowledgement as he left the room, "I'll get the sleds and meet you at the front door." He walked through the lobby and gave the man at the front desk an appreciative nod as he walked out of the front door. The sun began heating the air, it was slightly warmer than when he was outside last. He began to jog to the location he hid the two sleds.

((If you want to bring in any bad guys, this would be a good point.))

[Midnight_Huntress]

~~Good idea. And thanks for dealing with his character until we see what happens. Big help.~~
-------------------------------------

Natalya fixed her bed and emptied the wash basin before smiling at Wolf and heading downstairs. She froze at the bottom of te stairs as a scent hit her nose. She gave a whimper. Something was wrong.

[Darth Revan]

((No problem. *Posh British accent* "I live to serve." ))


Wolf followed Natalya down the stairs. He almost piled into her as she stopped. He was confused as to what stopped her. He looked around the room until a scent filled his nostrils. His mind washed with worry and he placed his hands on her shoulders, "Do you think you have enough strength to fight?"





((Can I rename the character at some point? Explain that he gave "Wolf" as a cover name so as to not have to explain who he was to Tyr. I really hate that name for him. I won't do it right away, it'll be later on.

((Also, as it's your RP, I think it would be best that you bring in the baddies. ))

[Midnight_Huntress]

~~Haha, gee thanks. And I don't mind if you change his name. Sounds good, actually, kind of like how you were once called "Dog" lol. I understand about the baddies, but if you ever want something to happen, feel free. (=^_^=)~~
----------------------------------------------------
Natalya assesed herself mentally. "Adrenaline laced strength, I have. A working body to use it, not so much." she said worriedly. Just as she finished her sentance, something whizzed by her shoulder from the right side of the room. It missed them bu a bare inch and hit the wood behind them.

[Darth Revan]

When the projectile narrowly missed the two of them, Wolf instinctively pulled Natalya down on the stairs. He looked up at the wall and saw a small hole. He scanned the room and saw no one. "Sniper. Stay low." He began walking low to the ground looking for any broken windows. He traced the direction the bullet had to follow and saw a cracked window and saw a small reflection of light flash. He fell backward to the ground as another shot went over his head. He rolled to a wall and propped himself against it. He closed his eyes and tried to find the man's smell. The sniper was wearing white camo, so he had to get warm under all that clothing. He leaned his head closer to the edge of the wall and began sniffing. Once he had his scent, he opened his eyes and looked to Natalya, "Natalya, when I run across the lobby, I want you to duck into the kitchen behind the stairs, okay?"


Tyr was uncovering the snowmobile when heard a muffled shot. With the wind on his side, he recognised it as a silenced gunshot. He tore the tarp backward and jumped on the sled. He started it and drove through the trees to the back of the inn. Just then three men in white ghillie suits stood up and started firing on him. He killed the engine and fell behind the snowmobile for cover. He immediately shifted to wolf and darted around the toboggan and into the surrounding forest with bullets chasing him as he ran.

[Midnight_Huntress]

Natalya did her best to stay calm, but when another shot was fired, she gave a small yip of surprise. She stayed low like she was told, and nodded her understanding to Wolf. If she had to, she would shift to get there. Tyr would probably scold her for that later, but it seemed like a good idea at the moment. She waited for Wolf to take off across the lobby before she quickly ducked behind the stairs and into the kitchen. The cook looked at her with confusion and she found herself a place to hide. The only place was an empty cabinet, tucked into a corner, and the only way she would fit was to shift. So she did. She sat there on her haunches, and did her best not to whimper. The cook had left the kitchen out the back way, when he seen her change into a wolf.

[Darth Revan]

Wolf broke from the wall and ran acroos the lobby to the innkeeper's desk. He jumped over the counter and heard three muffled shots and three different impacts nearby. When he was safely behind the desk, he looked at the innkeeper as he fell to the ground with a bullet hole in his neck. Wolf felt sorry for him, but was more worried about Natalya at the moment. He snuck over the gasping man and peeked around the corner of his cover and saw that she was no longer in the room. She had gotten out. Good, the next problem was taking care of the sniper. He looked around his new surroundings and saw a long barreled shotgun under the desk. With an accomplished grin, he grabbed it from the underside of the desk and made sure it was still loaded. He flew open a couple of drawers and cabinets looking for ammo. After moving the now dead innkeeper, he opened the last cabinet and found two boxes of shells.

His next problem was that by the time he could look over the desk, find the sniper, aim, and fire, he'd be dead alongside the innkeeper. The innkeeper! Wolf smacks his head as the idea struck gold in his mind. He grabbed the dead man's body and after apologizing, moved him to the far end of the desk near the stairway. He made sure he was mostly behind cover but made sure a part of his arm was visible, so the sniper could see that someone was there, but wouldn't know it wasn't Wolf. Hopefully, the sniper would concentrate on the dead man's limb while Wolf went to the other end of the desk and found a good shot.


Tyr ran through tree after tree dodging bullets. After crossing behind a good covering of bushes, he turned towards the men and bolted straight for them. As the men approached the bush, Tyr bound straight at the middle man with his fangs reared and aimed at his throat. The man hesitated from fear and surprise and screamed as Tyr came down him. The men surrounding him opened fire and trailed after Tyr as he jumped on their comrade. Unfortunately, Tyr was too fast, and the men ended up shooting each other. Tyr ripped the man's throat open and jumped off of him leaving him to scream and wail. Hopefully his friends would get the message and leave. He ran for the inn and jumped through a window in the back.

He came crashing into kitchen and landed just short of hitting the island. He shifted back to human and started calling for Natalya, "Natalya! Natalya, where are you?"

[Midnight_Huntress]

~~I give props for that post. very well done. (=^_^=)~~
-------------------------------

Natalya had heard screaming from outside, and clamped her jaws shut to dampen a whimper as she hid. Then the window crashed through and she pressed against the back wall of the cabinet she was in, now unable to stop the whine of fear that followed. When she heard Tyr calling for her, she froze a moment, scenting the air by the door before she finally stepped out slowly in her solid white wolf form. She took a few steps to look passed the island in her way and then she ran to him, relief washing over her fear stricken mind and body. she geave whimpers and whines, but wheter they were from fear or sadness now, she didn't know.

[Darth Revan]

((Thanks, and that was all from my phone. ))


Tyr saw a pure white wolf emerge from a cabinet, he'd seen Wolf's animal form, so he knew that this must have been Natalya. She ran to him whimpering and whining. Tyr knelt down and hugged her and began petting her, "Oh god, you're okay. It's okay, you're okay, we're okay, it's okay." He then remembered the shot he heard, he held her face in his hands, forcing her to look him straight in the eye, "Where's Wolf? Did he get hit?" Though it would make his life easier if he had, Tyr had hoped that he hadn't, they could use all the help they could get right now.


Wolf crawled to the desk side closest to the front door and peered around searching for the sniper, hopefully he was watching the corpse, and not Wolf’s position. He scanned where he saw the sniper the last time. He found a barrel sticking out and followed it to the white ghillied sniper. Without a scope of his own, Wolf could only hope and pray that this first shot hit purchase. He slowed his breathing and lined the shot very carefully. With a final breath in, he held it and squeezed the trigger. With a loud crack, Wolf saw a red mist fill the air he was staring at and the sniper fell to the ground. Not sure if he was truly safe, he kept to the ground and made his way to the kitchen. He opened the door and found Natalya and Tyr, “The front’s clear. I think anyway.”

[Midnight_Huntress]

Natalya had buried her nose against Tyr when he held and pet her, then he forced her to look at him and asked about Wolf. Her eyes widened a little as she looked to the door she had come in and made whining noises to show she didn't know. When a shot was fired she gave a bark of a yelp, praying to the Gods that Wolf was all right. Then he came through the door and relief washed through her body, her tail wagged a bit to show it, brushing against Tyr's side.

[Darth Revan]

Tyr gave Natalya's nose a kiss and scratched her head before standing up to answer Wolf, "I took care three guys in the back. How many were up front?"

"Just one, a sniper."

"Good. That means they don't know where we are."

"What? What do you mean, they tried to kill us."

"A four-man team with a sniper. It's a scouting party. There are a few villages in this area. They couldn't know exactly where we were, so they dispatched scouting parties to the villages they didn't go to. SOP dictates that they were supposed to find us, report us, and wait for reinforcements. I guess these guys wanted all the credit for themselves."

Wolf barked aloud, "Okay, I'm tired of this cloak and dagger ****. Who are you? Why won't you tell us your name? How the hell do you know so much about our enemy? "

Tyr was irritated now, "Look, my neck is on the line here too. I've already given you my answer to these questions last night ! Now you may not like it, but I have my reasons for keeping myself to myself, 'Wolf'. The fact of the matter is, the guy who saved your ass has knowledge of your foe. That's a great thing in my book. Wouldn't you say so?"

Wolf fell silent in anger and frustration. He looked to Natalya and nodded slowly. "Alright, fine. So what do we do?"

Tyr thought for a moment, "Well obviously we run. The snowmobile is out back. Grab the three guys's equipment and put it in the toboggan. I'll get your sniper's equipment. Where was he?"

Wolf answered, "Second floor across the street. Look for the red spot."

Tyr took off out the front of the inn. Wolf patted Natalya on the head and said, "C'mon, let's get you into the sled."

[Midnight_Huntress]

Natalya dipped her head as if to nod to Wolf, then she took the gown from the floor where it had fallen when she shifted, and somehow managed to get her head and front legs into the proper holes, before shifting back to her human self. She followed Wolf out the back way to the Sled. That was when she noticed the smell of death in the air. This was going to be a long trip.

[Darth Revan]

Wolf found the three dead bodies in the brush behind the inn. He looked around to make sure no one was watching him. He began stripping their equipment. He began with the middle man who had his throat removed. He started patting down the body and felt a vest on him. When he opened the dead man's shirt, he saw that he was wearing a bullet-proof vest. If this man had one, chances were good that the other two did as well. He motioned to warn Natalya just as one of the men began to stir. Apparently when the two men shot each other, the impacts only incapacitated them. Wolf quickly grabbed the dead man's gun and shot the man that stirring awake. The target fell with a red hole in his forehead. Wolf then trained the weapon on the still unconscious man. He then said to Natalya, "Strip the bodies of their gear. I'll watch this one."

Tyr made it across the street before he heard the muffled shot from Wolf's silenced weapon. The sound worried him. He thought the three were already dead, but one must have survived. If one survived, then the other might have too. Tyr found the red spot and rushed to find the dead sniper. Luckily, the sniper was still upright, so there wasn't a large puddle of blood. Even the sniper's ghillie suit remained mostly white; white enough to still be used. He searched the body and found the sniper had a bullet-proof vest underneath his ghillie suit. He took all the dead man's gear, leaving him with only his clothes piled on top of him. He slung the newly acquired sniper rifle over his shoulder and folded the pack he lifted, along with the vest in the ghillie suit and then he ran towards the back of the inn.

[Midnight_Huntress]

Natalya had jumped at the shot, even if it had been silenced. All this was havoc on her nerves. She began to strip the bodies as told, piling the weapons and vests and such into a pile beside the bodies. She was careful and quick, as well as silent. She moved the bodies with ease even for her small size.

[Darth Revan]

Wolf continued to watch the last live flunky as Natalya stripped him of his gear. He tightened his grip on the weapon with every moan or groan the man let out. He knew what had to be done, but he couldn't shoot an unarmed, unconscious person.

Tyr rounded the back of the inn as Natalya finished dtripping the last of the field gear. He saw Wolf standing over one of the men. With a quick glance, he saw the soldier he killed and the other had a bullet hole in his head. So this last one must still be alive. He approached Wolf and said, "What are you doing? Shoot him."

"I can't. He's unarmed and he's not even awake."

With a glance back at the shot soldier, Tyr replied, "You didn't seem to mind shooting that one."

"He was waking up and he still had his gun. This is completely different."

"No it's not. When he catches up with his friends, he can tell them where we were and where we were heading. The only reason we're alive right now is because they don't know where we are. If he's left alive, we're dead."

The man begins to moan louder, announcing that he is starting to regain consciousness. Wolf stares with a guilty pain in his eyes. He knows the man must die, but it just isn't dignified to die as he's about to. He stares as the man's hand begins to move. "I, I can't."

Tyr sighs and with one fluid motion, he swings the sniper rifle over his shoulder, and shoots the man in the head. Tyr looks at Wolf and says with disappointment in his voice, "Happy? Is your conscience clear now? These people tortured you and Natalya for years, and they were just about to take you back there. This man isn't an innocent, he isn't a bystander, this is your enemy; were the roles reversed, he'd have shot you before your clothes were even touched." Tyr slung the rifle around his back again and walked to the snowmobile to check on its condition.

Wolf continued to stare at the dead body. He knew what was said was the truth, but he still couldn't help but to feel guilty. With a shakey voice he said perfectly still, "This wasn't self-defense."

Tyr responded immediately, "That was self-preservation," and went back to checking the sleds.
