(Time-frame post-uber rp X3)
Rage was still a bit shaken after what had happened with Arguin coming to Phib's territory. She had tried to deal with it, live out each day. But each day seemed harder to get by in. The voice in her head seeming to have more of an influence on her judgement, which was partially the reason that drove her to wander the borders of Phib's territory. She wanted to get away from it all for a little bit, just have time to rest up. Try to think of how to handle things.
She remembered when she met that brown wolfess on the beach, had an argument about whether she should run or stick around and fight for when 'he' came. That wolf was going to come sometime soon, but she wasn't sure what to do anymore. She wanted Amelie and Phib to be safe, Cael to be safe, Nix to be safe. But it seemed that even Cael and Nix might look at her black pelt with red symbols and think 'Oh, she couldn't handle herself with Arugin...what will she do when 'he' comes?'
Trotting to the strembed she flopped down. Again looking at her reflection. She still hated how she appeared. Nix had blue markings upon her silver pelt, why did she have to have a black pelt with the red markings? She didn't want to seem like a 'demon' as how she had been labeled before in her birth pack. She didn't want to seem as a threat.
But with the voice in her head getting stronger, clouding ehr judgement. She wondered if she could handle herself any longer. She just wished she found something of interest. Someone to push her sort of, influence her. But how could she if everyone looked at her funny?
Rage just wanted to be normal.

Backus had had enough. Enough of his family, enough of them pestering him about his great hobbies. Mainly about torching and hurting others for fun. But it wasn't his fault. Not really. Couldn't they understand that such things were FUN. And when he had come on to his sister, in a way that a brother probably shouldn't, well then he was punished for it. Severly. But it wasn't his fault! Could he help it if he had a curious streak within him.
Surely he could not. And that left the dark pup both angry and confused, and of course wondering around. Maybe he would just leave all together and find some other place to live.......or maybe he would be back in the comfort of his den that same day. He knew not. Only right now, right at this very second...he just need to go...somwhere. Anywhere.

Rage was caught up in just staring at the rushing water. The sound of it soothed her nerves, but her head was starting to hurt like a head ache was coming on. But it was different, not a normal headache, but a stress headache, like some pressure was being pushed on her skull...and it was making her become dazed and confused.
Standing up and shaking herself off, she opened her eyes to see everything was alright now. Just a shake of her head and she was fine...that was weird. But she could feel the presence of the voice in her head, though it stayed quiet.
A new scent was on the wind as she stretched her back legs, arching her neck back explosing it the the breeze that ran alongside the stream. Ruffling her fur she stood and peered around, nothing was around here. But a scent was here, somewhere, someone knew was around.
Trotting alongside the stream for a few moments she could've sworn she was seeing a shadow moving by itself...yet no one along with it? Strange. It was another wolf though, after a more careful observation, dark pelt like hers. Markings on him too...that caught her attention. Maybe he was wandering too, and was like her. But she didn't move, she didn't know if he was hostile of not, but he was only a bit bigger then she was. Not fully an adult yet however.

Backus stretched his legs for a minute as he came in contact with a nearby stream. He was still in the transitional period from pup to teen and it was showing in his limbs, which he took to stretching some more. That's when he heard something....or perhaps even someone near him. He flickered an ear back, but opted out of looking to see who it could be. Not that he was afraid or anything like that.
But, Backus was ever the catious wolf.

Rage padded forward even more. The stream even slower in this area. Not even more than a foot deep here, though perhaps a yard or two wide. She watched the black figure move and crouch down, seeming to stretch just like she had just done. This was strange, it was as if her mind was playing tricks and projecting an image of herself before her eyes. But what was that? Blue on the black coat.
She sighed.
No, not a hallucination. Which only meant they were real. Swishing her tail behind her once she tilted her head at the figure. Were they friend or foe? She raised her muzzle to the wind and caught their scent more fully now, it was a male. Why would someone, let alone a male wander by himself. He didn't appear as an adult, wouldn't it be dangerous to wander so close to territorial borders of a pack?
Maybe they were free spirited.
Rage went to step into the stream to cross over but she only looked down at her reflection and pulled her paw back. What if she made them run away? From afar her red markings could make it seem that she had been splattered with blood. Which sh hated admitting to herself. She sighed. What to do?

Backus edged around further, his ears catching something yet his hovering nose had yet to pick up the scent. He didn't know what to do, somewhere inside of him he wanted to be strong, wanted to maim and kill like his twisted brain wanted and craved, yet because of his ailment he could do no such thing. So instead he finally relied on his eyes and squinted through the fog that seemed to be rising up just in those few moments.
That's when he saw the other. A female, and unlike her fears he wasn't scared of her markings though he did think they were blood stains. Instead he was amused by them, but was still smart enough to keep his distance.
"Am I interrupting something?" he called out, turning to face her fully.

Rage stayed standing in the cool rushing water of the stream. The fog rising up from beneath her and spreading like a wildfire all around her and this male. It was hard to get a fixed vision and image of him in her eyes. But the fog was causing an issue. So she just tried to let it pass from mind.
But this male was strange, a stranger. Quite close to Phib's territory too. Strangers were coming, one stranger in particular was cming, she still knew that...danger would arise. Blood would be spilt, all because of her. But who was this male? Too small to do much damage, but big enough to cause trouble. But his black pelt still interested her, but she couldn't get carried away. Or her heart would prove to resist her intentions and actions of defending Phib's lands.
"No..." she said simply, before stepping across the stream even more, then onto the bank. Making an image of her rising from the fog. She felt something in the back of her mind begin to break loose, but she had to keep the voice at bay. What would this male think.
"Who are you? What is your purpose here?" she asked, closing the gap between them. Only a few feet between where their bodies stood now. She felt the voice coming, and tried to bite her tongue, but it was no use,
"Or are you just looking for an adventure hmm?" she couldn't even tell that that was her voice speaking. This was so strange, and Rage didn't know how to handle it, "I'm Rage...who might you be?" She asked, raising her head a bit to stand elegantly as she could.
Yet she was fighiting for control the whole time.

At her assualt of questions Backus felt his stomach twisting and turning into knots. He was not afraid, or at least if he was he would never admit it to himself. It was well, hmmm. This wolf wasn't anything to be afraid of, it was just something in the way she spoke struck a cord within him. As if pressing him somewhere deep down inside. But once again he chose to ignore the feelings to focus on the questions.
"I am Backus, I have no purpose here...." he said, instantly becoming upset when his voice came out in a rather squeak. "An adventure would be nice...."

Rage smirked at him, her eyes seeming a different shade of emotions within them. Deep down she knew she was changing, into what she wasn't sure. The voice in her head, it spoke more frequently to her, and it could gain control of her. Make her do things she wouldn't normally do...things she wouldn't want to normally do. Such thigns as getting closer in vacinity with Backus.
But the other side of her was intrigued.
"No purpose?" she parotted, smiling at Backus, catching the tone in his voice holding an uncertainty. "Everything has a purpose..." the tone in her voice changed ever so slightly. Not even enough to be recognized as to have changed. But her mind was switching sides, switching control.
She circled around him, not as to intimidate him, but to look him over. As she circled to the front of him, the other side of her urged her body forward, having her side rub against his chest and under his neck, her neck craning back the smile almost too innocently, "I strength within you I sense...what type of adventure do you seek?"
Rage couldn't believe what she was saying. Padding away from contact with him she wanted to shake her body loose. What was happening to her?

He didn't answer to the first set of words, not really finding a good answer for it. Of course everything had a purpose.....but not in a give siuation, but perhaps it was wrong. No, all too confusing. He thought it best to just ignore the question all together for want of an answer.
At the display of her circling him Backus puffed out his chest, wanting to appear more larger then he already was. Whether it actually worked or not he couldn't say for sure. But, something about this strange wolf made the dark male want to give off an air of superiority. Not that he didn't always want some kind of power. But, for some reason he wanted more of it. As she rubbed against him, his nostrils flared and he couldn't help but take a big whiff of her, deeply. His head lolled at the smell and it almost felt like it consumed him.
He beamed slightly at the phrase of him having strength within, glad that *someone* else finally saw it, other then himself. "Oh you know.." he said feeling more comfortable in his own skin. "Blood....torture...all kinds of fun little tirades..."

Rage smirked at him, her amber eyes fixated on his moments, how he puffed out his chest made her giggle in her mind. He wanted to look strong eh? Well, he would have to do more then that to make her a true believer of his 'power.'
She could feel her restraint breaking, the chains letting go. The sides of her were broken apart long ago, though Rage hadn't realized it. Her turmoil as a pup, what she had gone through had forced apart the bonds of who she was, separating the light from the dark. The darker part of her finding a lot of interest in Backus. His pelt color, his actions and reactions, it was all too amusing for her.
"Blood?" she almost questioned, titling her head to the side. She had remembered what her mother and father's blood smelt like, her pack's blood. The smell still ran through her veins, so did the anger and sadness of that day, the loss she had suffered. "Sometimes what we find pleasure in, is only the beginning..." Her eyes seemed to darken somewhat in the light that passed thorugh the clouds overhead.
"Sometimes...you can find other ways to amuse and fulfill even your wildest dreams..."
Why did she say that? She was taken aback by her actions once more, wondering what she, well, the other side of ehr was trying to do. Provoke him maybe? What was happening...everything was so confusing. But she couldn't break the overlap, Rage, the one most knew, had been cast to the side, cast into the wind for the time being.

Backus stood there, his head held high and his one red eye and one yellow eye darting around and around to match Rage's movements. His maw felt slack and heavy but he didn't let that show. Not to this wolf, not to anyone. He felt strange somehow with this wolf, and perhaps it coulda been what he had eaten earlier. Maybe something didn't agree with him. It was no matter, this was the here and now.
"Is that so?" Backus said, finding himself become more and more brave. "What if your wildlest dream IS to torture and mame....what then? hmmm?"

Rage merely smiled as if too innocent, "Then find something else to pursue..." She started to circle around him again. Take in his appearance and his scent to remember it for the future. She had a feeling that this would not be the only time they would meet, she knew it in the pit of her stomach.
Her heart was beating fast and started to hurt, and she stopped short and inhaled a sharp breath, wincing in the process. Her eyes held a slight twinge of pain to them, but she quickly pushed it from her. She looked back to Backus appologetically, My heart...it doesn't seem well lately..." true she was born with a heart condition, but she never liked to admit it. But when the pain came, she couldn't help but have to explain if others looked at her oddly. "So tell me Backus, is killing, torturing and maming things the only things you like to do, or wish to do? There's nothing else?" She was curious, and she wanted to know.

((Yay Backus grew, so I'll be playing him as a teen now, hope that's okay)
Backus eyes widened as she doubled over and right then and there he wanted to tell her that he too was inflicted with an accursed heart condition. But he didn't. To show a sign of weakness like that gave the other power and he didn't want this Rage wolf to have any kind of power over him, or anything else for that matter. Of course if his chest pains were to eventually hit him then he'd have no choice and she'd no regardless. But, this was merely after the fact. Or fiction as it were.
"Yes," Backus said lowly, his darkened eyes flashing, the red and yellow orbs looking almost glowy in the fog. "Could there be anything else?"

((XD Thats how I was having Rage see him, as a Teen X3 <33))
Rage watched Backus, he seemed so dark adn dull and uninteresting at the moment he just replied with a single word. What, was he just so dark and thoughtless that he couldn't find some other weird dark thing to do besides killing things? Jeez! If she was like him she'd do loads of things besides killing, plots against packs, kidnappings, but Rage was Rage. And in her set of mind she was a good wolf, and wanted to be that way regardless of the voice in her head.
"There could be...if you looked for it..." Rage stated simply. Her eyes focusing on his, "So nothing else you've done you liked? Nothing you did or were going to do adn got caught that gave you a thrill or something? For someone who likes dark themes, you don't seem to spread yours wings out into the other things you could dive into..."
