[PRP] Squirrel Hunting - (Naru and Rein) ~ FIN

[Naru_Uchiha007]

A chilling and rather ill wind found itself blowing through the clearing edging the forest this night, the thick and pungent stench of death clinging fast to it... a maddening cackle, one which all in Faetasia had come to fear, finding itself piercing the eerie silence that had been held... a cackling that soon found itself hushed by a demonic howl, a howl which sent vicious chills down the spines of any who heard it.

Soon, the clearing become alive with panic, several small animals scurrying free of the surrounding brush. And with this panic came another howl, shadows finding themselves springing to 'life' as piercing green eyes of a toxic nature gazed out and upon the moonlit grass. "Hehehe...Yes..! Yes...!" The cackling resumed once more, heavy thuds resonating from the trunks of two large trees, claws digging deep into the bark as if it were the flesh of the creatures it watched. "Run and hide... Run and hide, knowing that your demise is nigh...! Hehehe!"

Then, without hesitation, the tree's beside the 'wolf' found themselves erupting into splinters and shattered bark, arms casting themselves forward as Haiena burst from the shadows... thick drool and froth oozing from the corners of his jowls, legs pounding viciously against the hard earth as instinct kicked in. If he were to find the one whom drew him here, he was to ensure he remained strong.... his roar echoing through the night, it soon followed by the pained squeal of a fox, jaws clamping upon it while a paw sought to tear it in half.

Soon, the grass found itself being stained with the blood and entrails of the swiftly dispatched creature, bones crunching and snapping as jaws continued to tear at it... those bat-like ears attuning themselves to the wind, seeking for anything that would give head way to where this wyrm infected creature had gone....

A shudder found itself running down the curve of Minerva's spine as she traversed the darkness brought upon by the dimly lit forest; those glasses finding themselves being pressed back and against the bridge of her nose yet again... eyes skimming over the note that had been left on her person before Countess had made her departure.

Already she was finding herself late for the meeting, a sigh escaping the fledgling as she continued to move among the shadows, senses keeping alert as she neared the oak tree... the same one mentioned within Countess' note, it soon finding itself being tucked back into a pocket.

"I apologize for being late, Countess...." Minerva gave a bow to the Disciple, nose wanting to turn itself at the sight of the beast that sat so obediently beside her. "Jehane was proving to be a troublesome one to evade... but I managed to lose her before coming here, just as you instructed." She knew that Countess would be angry for her late arrival... but she hoped that stating something like this would appease the Disciple, even if only a little.

Another bow of respects was given to Countess, Minerva not daring to displease her or the pet she kept at her side any further. "I can assure you, it will not happen again Countess." She gave another bow of the head, a timid nature still held in the manner Minerva spoke, a nature that would slowly find itself fading with each moment spent in the presence of the Disciple.

Though, before anything else could be said in further regards to Jehane's prior meddling, a brow found itself beginning to perk. "The beast...? Do you speak of the rogue female, Kasdeya..?" She was still very confused as to why Countess desired to have them meet her, but she wasn't about to question the motives outright as teal-hued eyes surveyed the darkness around them. Hopefully she would be enlightened to why they were here....

Minerva gave a nod to Countess' words, her attention turning itself back to the beast in their midst. She still didn't fully trust the creature, her run-in with the one known as Kasdeya being responsible for this. Though, if Countess was sure she had a tight leash upon it, there was little she had to fear from it.

"Yes Countess..." She replied simply, her notepad being brought at the ready. Something tugged at her as they walked, telling her that there was more to this little venture then Countess was letting on... but she wasn't going to voice her opinions toward it, seeing the contempt in her Disciple's eyes due to the insolence of Jehane.

Of course, as they finally caught up with the creature, the meanki found her brow perking in a questionable manner. This creature was supposed to be Countess' ace in the hole? From the looks of it, it wasn't capable of doing more than feed.

A chilling tingle found itself dancing down the Spiral's spinal column, one which brought that shrill cackling to burst forth yet again. The wyrm-infected being he'd sensed before had made it's presence known again, right eye twitching lightly as the madness began to well deep inside. This was the moment he'd been waiting for, the words spoken to him by his brother mere hours ago being lost to ill thoughts, that muzzle twisting and curling itself in the evilest of grins.

"Hehehehe..! Made yourself known to us again, have you..?!" Haiena questioned the wind, nose taking in the foul stench of the wyrm which gripped it... brow perking itself in a curious manner. There was something truly peculiar about the odor in question, toxic saliva oozing out from between the cracks of teeth, tongue sliding itself along the tips of pointed fangs, that grin growing even wider.

Claws soon began to rend the earth beneath him, belly sliding itself along the blood-soaked grass before he finally bolted off and into the darkest reaches of the forest... his eerie cackling filling the night air, it finding itself coupled by that demonic howl which echoed upon the wind. "Dance the dance with you, we will! Rend and tear your flesh we shall....! Prove who is the strongest we must! Hehehehe!"

~~

In mere seconds, bark and wood found itself splintering and scattering every which way beneath the female Spiral, that shrill and insane cackling signaling Haiena's arrival. His blood-laced drool slowly slipped free from the corners of his twisted maw... bones within hands and arms popping and snapping, their muscles tensing as the overwhelming presence of the wyrm brought his madness to a peak; veins in those toxic orbs wishing to pop as they glowed and eerie green. "Heheheheh! Found you we have!" He roared out, claws slamming into the side of the tree, gaze focusing on the Spiral above him.....

A gaze which brought him to freeze in mild stupor, head twisting itself to the side and then quickly to the other, mind trying its best to register what it was seeing right now. "Hehehehehe..! What the Hell are you supposed to be?! A possum?!" He cackled in sheer amusement at the sight, other set of claws embedding themselves into the tree's trunk... the wolf wasting little time in scaling it, that cackling resuming while tongue slathered those jowls in their own 'toxic' filth.

The sudden 'explosion' of the trees and foliage drew the meanki's eyes wider than saucers, her notepad finding itself dropped due to the initial shock of the male Spiral's entrance. "That... That thing isn't Kasdeya!!" She couldn't help but screech, fumbling to gather up her notes. "What... What the Hell is it?!"

Was this what Countess was seeking? Was this the reason she had been ordered to come out on this little 'hunt'?
