 -Felicia was her characteristically cheerful self on this late afternoon, as the sun hung lazily in the sky. And though she was lonely, another quite characteristic thing for the mare, she seemed at the moment not to mind, letting the sound of her pleasant humming keep her company. She was intruiged in fact, how far the soft breeze seemed to be carrying the sound, and her dual tails switched in soft amusement.
Further and further she followed her wind carried voice away from her familar valley. But she didn't seem to notice nor mind. She couldn't possibly have known what would be lurking out and about on a day like this. And from her experience, everything found her a heck of a lot scarier then she found them.-

 Sirius was lonely, one of the things that a skinwalker gets used to after being alone for quite some time and being shunned. He was in his home; the forest where he ran in the thickets as a wolf, chasing helpless small animals just for the pure joy of hearing their squeals as he sunk he teeth into their skin. What a magical sound it was~
Close to the ground he walked with the wolven skin tied to his back. His camouflage, his warmth and his smell. The skin was nearly always musky due to earlier rain and his inability to wash the thing very well. Close to the grassy and stick littered forest floor he crept. His stomach gave off a soft growl. Sirius knew better, but he had let a rabbit leave his jaws the night before. Was it pity? No, he just wanted to enjoy the thought of it returning home to its nest only to die in front of its young and then they to dying in a domino effect.

-As the trees grew nearer and larger, Felicia's attention finally turned to the unfamilar landscape. She was used to valleys, meadows, and though the woods appeared rather dark in the lateness of the day she drew forward nonetheless Coming to a stop at the edge of the trees, before she peered in curiously.
Trees everywhere.. shrubs and understory. Nothing living that she could see though. Taking another step forward her paw rolled on one of the twigs, causing a mild exclimation to escape her in surprise. But it was the flick of her ears upwards afterwards that led to the greater surprise.
The acostics here were so unique! Whether it was the leaves or what.. but it seemed to keep the sound trapped inside, amplifying it. Casting back one last glance to make sure the sun hadn't sunk too low, the mare quickly padded her way into the forest, opening her mouth to do one of her favorite things. Listen to herself sing.-
"It's time we moved out west
this time will be the best
and when the evenings fall
dark is the night for all"

Sirius' ears quickly turned behind his head, his face soon following. He gazed into the emptiness behind him, the emptiness littered with trees, shrubs and some black birds flying over head away from something.
Ears flattened back and his eyes lidded. Something had come into his domain and that something was going to have pay for venturing too far for his liking. The stallion reared onto his hind legs, letting out a screech of a whinny as he changed his path. Instead of heading farther into the forest, he heading towards the outskirts, the edge.
The forest was his home, he had come to know and respect it, but it was still his or so he thought at least. He knew his forest and the forest knew him. So thus, they coexisted...but not exactly in 'harmony'.

-Kittyesque ears flicked and strained to catch the words as they assaulted their surroundings, dually pleased with the sound. While the valleys made her voice sway and flutter lightly on the breeze, the blanket of trees seemed to make it seem deeper, stronger, and her amusement kept her slipping further into the woods. Until of course another sound broke through.
Pausing her ears immediately swiveled to catch the strange whinney. Scared? Feminine? She couldn't tell quite yet, and curiously she waited, going so far as to call out in a singsong sway.- "Hello there?"
-Surely whatever it was coming her way? She could hear the sound of movement in the distance.-

One hoof pushed the brush blocking his path aside. This, this was what had entered his forest? Why it was just a mare-...a quite strange looking mare at that. Nothing like Glow Heart at all. His ears unflattened and straightened themselves. "Hello there," He cooed back to her, stalking another hoof length closer.
Sirius was dead set, he would make sure that this...mare would never want to come back into his forest again. He had a devilish grin smear across his face. That emptiness in the gut of his stomach was starting to make itself known even more and that mare...was definiately a lot better looking then anything in this forest.

-When finally the brush cast aside what stood before her didn't seem feminine or scared whatsoever. QUITE the oppisite in fact. The male's aire simply leaked confidence or atleast authority, and though there were plenty of signs that the mare she hightail her way out of there her eyes were locked on beast strewn upon his back.
The ears.... that tail... the paws that dangled around his neck. Her own front paws fidgeted softly in the dirt, her heart fluttering in soft excitement. Not only was he not scared.. he looked like her in a way!
And excitement and naivity blinded her from that grin, picking up instead of the cooed words. And happily she nickered, her dual tails swaying softly once again.- "I didn't expect to see anyone in here. But I certainly am pleased I did."
-Her eyes were locked upon his strange features. Was this a skinwalker? The thing that so many people yelled and spat at her when they tried to stomp and run her off? How intriguing...-

This mare...the ears, that tail, those paws...was she to a skinwalker? Should she be, she should know better then to venture alone into another skinwalker's realm.
He growled low in his throat, "Perhaps you shouldn't be, young mare." He spat menacingly taking another step closer towards her. "You see, I would consider you unlucky...because my gut, as you can most likely hear, yearns for some kind of food and you, my dear," That toothy smile, almost innocent showed its face again, "Look much better then anything that I could ever find in this domain."
Self restrain was active now. His belly was telling him to eat her, that it lusts to be full, but he was also curious, this mare looked similar to a skinwalker...but yet to a regular soquili a the same time..
"What are you, my dear?"

"Hmmm?" -She retracted a paw, stepping back in soft suprise as the coo so quickly changed into a rumbling growl. And it took her a long moment to dechiper his threat.. certainly a soquili wouldn't eat another soquili!? He had to be kidding..
And so she laughed, albeit nervously.- "I don't think I'd taste very good really. Too much fur.."
-And with each step forward she had enough good sense to match his step with one of her own backwards, instinctual nervousness warring against her usual curiousity and friendliness.- "S.. some people call me a skinwalker.. and other people a freak. But I'm just a soquili. You..?"

The smile grew wider as time had passes, "Oh my dear, how unfortunate for you~ Not knowing what you are." He spoke, trying to sound as sympathic as he could. "People 'call' you a skinwalker? Hah! Those fools know nothing then, other then a physical appearence. You, my dear, are no skinwalker."
"No, no, I'm fairly sure though that you would be quite appetizing, as I haven't eaten in so long and that my belly aches to be full once more." As almost on cue, his stomach made a low kind of gurgling noise.
Golden eyes gleaming he looked towards the mare, "Me, my dear? I am a skinwalker."

-It was more then clear now WHY other labeled her with the term now that she cautiously studied the stallion. As she'd noticed before, and he pointed out the features that adorned the two had commonalities quite closer then the average soquili.
And subconciously.. she was beginning to understand why so often she was met with agression. Were they all this grumpy? Agressive? The atmosphere was tense, electric. Small ticks of nervousness ran down her back, but at the same time she was rather afraid to turn tail on the 'beast'.- "You... really want to EAT me?"
-Eyes flicked around the path, her nervousness making it rather unclear which way she should dart. Which way would get her out of these trees, it was getting too dark to look for the sun to guide her outwards. She would see if diplomacy would work.- "I could.. help you find something to eat? If you don't eat me.." -She hazarded nervously, cat like ears falling backwards to reflect the tensing of her muscles in preperation of fleeing.-

Another step, followed by another, "Quite the opposite my dear. The things in this forest are...well I should say: small compared to the meat you offer from your carcass." A pink tongue came from his mouth, licking the outside in hunger. "But frankly, my little lost soquili, yes, I do want to eat you!"
Sirius' self-control snapped, as quickly as the control snapped, he reared onto his hind legs again, giving off the same whinny from earlier. Animalistic instincts took over normal, voluntary movements.
Teeth bared, he lunged towards Felicia, wanting nothing more to either latch onto one of her legs to drag her to the ground, or sink his teeth into her belly or neck instead.

-Instinct snapped her in the other direction, muscles uncoiling to spring away from the large body that came bolting at her. It was a good thing he'd reared up first, as it gave her enough time to escape the gnash of teeth.
The distance between them wasn't comforting, not even a full stride, so Felicia did not pause to think about which direction to go. She simply went, breaking into a gallop far faster then she had in a long while. Though soon enough the crashing of brush against her legs, and free sticks littering the ground slowed her more then she'd have liked.
Trees were everywhere, everywhere. She was sure she could hear him behind her. His feets, his breathing.. That grin of his.. that mean mean grin was plastered across her mind, and she was too afraid, and paranoid to look back. Was he close? Would he blindside her? Her sides heaved, and her eyes shot around wildly. She almost wished she WAS a skinwalker for once.. instead of the frightened prey of one.-

[Ho snap, I'm uber-late...xDDDD;;; *shot multiple times* And if I remember right...I have yet to read any skinwalker turning into their animalistic form (cat/coyote/wolf)....o.o;;; So forgive me if I do it wrong...] Hunting instincts took over his self-control as he reared only for a moment, giving off his sickening, screech of a whiny before bolting foreward in the direction she took off in.
His belly ached painfully at that moment he didn't care if she was a full grown Soquili or a hare infant...he just wanted something. Carefully placed hooves connected with the forest floor as they continued their chase.
Uncaring of the time of day, Sirius mentally decided on a short thought that he'd follow his prey...in a different form. The pelt on his back melding with his body, skeleton minimizing to the size a large wolf. Skidding to a stop, the newly formed wolf let out a long, low howl before beginning his pursuit on the mare again.

((Not any later then me. XD Sorry about that. Should be much more prompt now. Was trying to get school stuff sorted out, and caught up in places where I was much further behind))
-It probably wasn't apparent how much the mare's body convulsed under quivers of fear due to the bolting. In fact she didn't even appear to wince as branches smacked sharply against her sides, the woods seeming to want to help their inhabitant in his chase. But the mare quite certainly noticed how hard the shivers of fear shook her body, and she curled her cat like tail straight up, in fear of teeth nashing down on it if it dragged too far behind.
Ears flashing high with the sound of a different sort, she wondered for a moment if she was saved.. If by some twist of fate her pursuer was now being followed himself. But as she glanced back and saw the similar colors reflected on the pelt of wolf, she realized her folly.
Not however before her front paw caught a dead branch, sending her in a reeling somersault, as a fear filled whinney screeched through the air. She was doomed. Absolutely doomed.-
