Shadow Mountain Inside my Head

@Maegi @Kelina also @Moonshadow feel free to make an appearance

The female spent hours dragging the young wolf back to her home. Though halfway in, Serem put the young wolf on her on her back to make it easier as well as quicker.

Finally, they arrive at the territory and she sets her down. Before calling for her alpha, Serem looks at the wolf and begins to feel proud of herself for a moment before raising her head to let out her call.

She dreamed of Cicero, his patchwork pelt and mismatched eyes. The soft murmur of his voice; the comforting warmth of his fur. Just out of reach, a fleeting shadow at the edge of her vision. He gave her lessons, but only from afar--she could not get to him.

She ran and ran, but fell short, his whispers taunting her as she struggled.

"Not all wolves are strong. Some need to use other skills to kill or maim."

His words echoed in her ears as she woke, having been deposited onto the cold, unforgiving ground. Her mouth was incredibly dry, and she licked famished lips, eyes slowly opening. The pain from her head wound throbbed, and she squeezed her eyelids shut once more, wincing with agony.

What had happened? The last thing she remembered was being under the water, swimming to safety. Now she was here. . .and this was definitely not Blackfeather Woods.

The wind was thin and whistling, and while there were trees, they seemed more sparse than her home. It was also quite chilly, and she shivered, her barely-dried pelt not holding any warmth at all. The dark woman stood above her, and the call she gave was loud and piercing. It split Maegi's head in two--or so it felt like--and she cringed again, whimpering at the pulsing pain in her skull.

"Stop," she croaked, and shuddered. She writhed on the ground, a boneless, helpless creature.

Serem looked down at her. The wolf was now awake and fully alive. Now all she had to do was wait for Kelina to arrive so that she may determine the young ones fate. Hopefully her offering will please the Nightstalker. "Why hello there. Glad to see your awake." A crooked smile grew on the females face as she spoke softly. "We will see what our alpha will want to do with you. Therefore you better stay put. Many wolves here are not as patient as I am."

The she-wolf was nearby when she heard an unknown wolf's howl flood her ears. Curious, she gets up from where she laid and went forth towards the sound. Sinking into the tree's, she avoids being directly open as she sneaks closer. Only to be utterly surprised by what or more like who she saw. "Maegi?" She said silently under her breath as she watched.  What was she doing here, how did she get here? Many thoughts ran through her head.
