A stranger in the road

@bindi :)

Morgana stopped, taking a drink from a small, unfrozen stream. She had ventured out, not that far away from BFW but far enough. The last few days had all been new wolves, fights, introductions etc. Right now she was hoping for some peace and quiet. When she had joined the Dark pack, she really hadn't expected for it to be this busy. Every time she said the was from the dark pack, wolves seemed like they didn't want to talk to her and made some lame excuse of why they had to go. Not that she minded, solitude was her second home.

She walked along, pausing briefly to empty her bladder but she continued on, not really watching where she was going before she almost walked right into something. Startled, she took a step back, looking wide eyed at the thing she had nearly walked into. A female. How embarrassing. This seemed to be happening to her a lot recently. She quickly recovered and put on a hard look, Hey! Watch it! Don't you have anything better to do than stand around getting in wolves way?! she yelled at the female.

Bindi had left the male at the boarders, and was on her way home, when she caught onto a strange scent. There was similarity between this scent and the male at the boarders. Bindi came to the conclusion that this new wolf was probably in the same pack as the dark male. She followed the scent and came upon a female, who looked like she had things on her mind.

Watching the stranger, it seemed they couldn't smell or see, because they didn't notice Bindi standing in the open. In fact, Bindi was almost positive that this strange female was blind due to the fact that she practically walked into the Silvertip girl. When the stranger yelled at her, Bindi's tail, head, and ears rose. "It's not my fault you walked into to me" she said and looked at the stranger with no emotion in her golden eyes.

WARNING: FOUL LANGUAGE.



Morgana snarled, Well it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been standing in my way! We you see something coming at you, you move out of its way, simple knowledge, but it's not unusual, you being the type of wolf you are.
To Morgana, it was a perfect example of what better wolves were, the type she was. Not this infectious light hearted ones that thought that nobody will hurt them because they're too damn nice. It was revolting. And all these good praising packs! What kind of idea did they have? That the oncoming darkness could be stopped? That by making more sunshine and rainbow packs that they would be best? Morgana wanted to throw up then and there, just by thinking about it. All the happiness, all the light, it was disastrous. Without corruption and violence, there would be no point in living, at leased that's the was Morgana saw it.

Why were you staring at me anyways? Don't you have anything better to do? Like saving lives and fighting evil, all that kind if shit?, Morgana spat.

The way this wolf spoke to Bindi confirmed her theory on the pack the dark male belonged to. That pack was a bunch of idiots who thought that they were some evil dark lords, and queens. Bindi would gladly show this female that she is not some queen. She ignored the first part of the stranger's statement and focused on the second sentence. "The type of wolf I am" she said acting as if she was shocked. "How about the type of wolf you are" she said eyeing up the strange female.

When the strange wolfess asked why Bindi was staring she only said "Not staring, stalking." Bindi was sure she couldn't scare this female so easily like she did to others, but perhaps she could mess with her mind. "In fact I do have something better to do, I have to go hunt in order to pay one of your pack mates" she said assuming that this female and the strange male were indeed from the same pack.

Morgana knew exactly what the strange she-wilf meant by "what type if wolf you are". And frankly, she was flattered. It was nice to know she was hated and that her exterior didn't betray her personality.
Morgana guessed that the stranger was taking about Crescendo, Wolves did often ascociate her with Crescendo, for they looked almost exactly alike; with the same dark pelt and haunting eyes. You mean Crescendo? , she mused. But she could possibly be wrong, there were other males in the pack. But she very much doubted that Kove had made some sort of evil deal with this strange female. But you knever know...
Burke, however, she wasn't sure. She had never shared as much as a conversation with the male so she didn't know his charater. But Crescendo, it was definatly something he would do.

When the stranger spoke of the male's name Bindi smirked. So that is his name she thought to herself, at least she hoped that was the male, the strange wolfess was talking about. "You mean silver eyes, dark fur, kind of looks like you" she said and realized that she may have just said an insult. After all, Bindi did just say that this female looks similar to a male.

"If that's who your talking about then yes, I needed him to take care of a couple of pests" she said. Bindi wanted to kill those pathetic dogs herself, but she just didn't have the time to go hunt them all down. So hiring an assassin to do it for her was the next best thing, although when Bindi first met this Crescendo, she didn't expect to hire him. It was then Bindi thought about hiring this female as well, for other reasons. However she wouldn't bring it up just yet, or maybe she wouldn't bring it up at all.

Morgana smirked, Crescendo for hire? This was new. She had heard about the wild dogs who unwantedly lived in the area. Sometimes she even heard the barks and cries of the ones captured on the land of a pack. She was a bit jealous of Crescendo, he got to have all the fun. And by fun she meant tracking down and annihilating some sick creatures. She had never actually met a dog, but knew they were decendants of wolves, however that happened. A sad mutation, probably. She honestly couldn't see herself..related to such a creature. That's why she had absolutely no problem killing it.

On another note, she was curious to what pack this she-wolf was from. She had smelled the scent before but just couldn't put her claw on it. Perhaps it was the new one, Silver-something. Are you from that pack, oh what's it called? Silver... Morgana asked genuinely intrigued.

She listened as the strange female tried to remember Silvertip Mountain. She had not told this-Crescendo-what pack she belonged to for a reason. She didn't want him or anyone else from that pack finding her, and putting her pack at risk. If any of them died because of her, she could never forgive herself. She needed a lie, to protect her friends from this girl and the dark male.

"I use to belong to Silvertip Mountain but I left" she said letting the lie roll off her tongue. She would not tell this female the truth, even if this stranger tortured Bindi to death, she would not tell. "I had an issue with one of the female's there, so I left" she said, and partially spoke the truth. She did have a problem with a female there, Rassia, but that didn't matter right now.

Morgana could see the hidden truth behind the words she spoke. But she didn't question it, it was probably Cresendo, that's why she didn't trust Morgana. But then again, she wouldn't trust herself either. Hmm, trouble with a female, well there's always a solution to that. But you wouldn't have the guts to do that, would you? She coyly asked the female. She figured to go along with it, dig into the female's mind. Maybe she could bring out the true colours in this she-wolf. There had to be something else behind the bland and ordinary she wolf infront of her. There always something.
If Morgana had a problem with a pesky female (or male) she could simply..end it. But many wolves were too weak to such a thing. It was truly pathetic. It would be disgraceful if you were in the dark pack and couldn't do it.
But she shook the thought from her mind, she had better things to do then feel sorry for weak wolves. You have power don't you? It would be easy..., Morgana slyly stated.

So what, this wolfess believes Bindi doesn't have the guts to end Raissa's life? Very cute. She would gladly take the tri-colored female's life, but taking her life would lead to another's pain. FitzDutiful. Fitz had done nothing to hurt Bindi, and he didn't deserve to feel the pain of losing a mate. However Bindi would not allow this stranger to think of her as weak. "Perhaps you can help me get some poisoness berries" she began. They would kill off Raissa and no one would no it would be Bindi.

"I will pay you for them, perhaps a ram would suit you if you agree to get them for me" she said, and immediately said what her pay would be if she agreeded to help Bindi. She was going to be in a lot of debt to these two wolves, but it would be worth it. Even if Bindi didn't use the berries on Raissa, she could use them for other purposes like poisoning the caches if any of the muts showed up again.

Morgana considered the offer. Collecting the berries wouldn't be that hard. I could do it, but the payment however, could be changed. To Morgana, food wasn't a problem for her. No, she valued something much more, a favor.
Perhaps you could do me a favor, nothing extreme. You'd be in my debt, but maybe that's too risky for such a delicate she-wolf like you. Morgana replied, twisting her words.

Bindi became interested in what possible favor this stranger wanted. "Delicate, would not be the word I use to discribe myself" she said harshly. "Nevertheless continue on, don't leave me guessing your favor" she said anxiously wanting to know what this stranger hand in mind. Bindi would do much in return for the berries, but she could never agree to do this favor if she didn't know what it was.

The she-wolf obviously didn't understand.
No, the favor is yet to be decided. But it wouldn't be something incredibly big. Nothing that would get you into trouble. That is my price.
Morgana knew that one day she might need the she-wolf for something. But she wasn't sure yet. In truth, the price wasn't that bad. Morgana could have got the berries poisoned the she-wolf instead. Or she could have demanded something much worse....
I hope it isn't an inconvenience for you. Getting the berries yourself would be such a hassle and there was always a chance someone could find out, Morgana said to the female.

@Morgana, Last post from me, thanks for the thread!

She listened as the wolfess explained how she didn't have a favor yet, and Bindi finally understood what she meant. She didn't like being in debt to someone, but hopefully this favor would be nothing horrible like Morgana said. "Very well, you can howl for me at the hot springs when you have the berries and the favor." The hot springs seemed to be Bindi's new meeting place, and so every time she would make a deal that would be the place she sent them to meet her.

She felt there was nothing more to talk about, so Bindi started heading back toward the mountain. She already need to hunt for Crescondo and now she would be in debt to this wolfess. Bindi realized she really needs to stop making deals.

Morgana smirked. She always got what she wanted.
