[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=617186] I have thrown away my vice, Done away with paradise, See what's going on inside my mind... _____________________ Grey stood face to face with the great beast. His body screamed at him to lie down, to just lay there and take preasure off his muscles. A best he could he refused, though his legs were bent relatively close to the leaf encrusted forest ground. Gnarled roots and deformed branches were woven through the debree of the forest. That fact alone, was what kept him standing. Dirtying the wound would be a very bad idea. Also with the beady eyes of a raging bear in his face, he wasn't looking forward to sticking around if he could help it. Slowly he moved to the side trying to out distance the bear. He had ,had just about enough. He was ready to just leave with his life intact and let Ulric have his great bear hunt. Guilt made him stop short however as Ulric's massive ebony black form leapt onto the back of the bear. Yorick couldn't help but think how wasted that move was. The back of a bear was all fur and fat, nothing vital to attack. Then he realized that Ulric must have taken such a gamble in order to give him time to move. Grey didn't know why exactly but he stayed. He still had no idea what to make of this situation, but he would not sink to a level of honor not worthy of his name. Besides if he didn't act then Ulric could die. He had seen many bear fights and new that the position he was in was probably the second worst one, worse being if the bear was on top of you. The bear seemed to be getting an upper hand on the fight as all but two paws were thrashed from its body. Ulric was getting thrown around really good. Yorick made his way closer to the bear now, but this time instead of trying to flank the bear, he quietly crawled near staying in the bears blind spot. While the bear was still trying to dislodge Ulric, its head was swinging wildly from side to side, probably hoping to catch him in his powerful deadly jaws. Yorick saw his opening and mustered up his strength, of what little was left, to leap at the throat of the bear. His jaw connected with the main jugular in the bears neck. He could feel its warm blood seeping out between his tightly clasped jaws. Quickly he dug his forepaws into the chest of the bear, and used his hind paws to scratch and dig into the bears stomach. Grey was over come by a wave of focused adrenaline, had he not been concentrating he probably would have been out cold, tired from exhaustion, and his injuries. He removed himself from the bears, and quite literally dropped onto his back, and grimaced as his ribs shook with ompact. He waited to see when the bear would collapse. _____________________ 550: words.

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=000000] Ulric threw himself off the bear backwards at the same time that Yorick had collapsed onto his back. Ulric moved swiftly as he could to Yorick's side to guard him should the bear some how not be beaten. He watched as the bear roared weakly and swayed. It took one more step toward the two wolves and fell to the ground, dead. Ulric looked from the bear to the wolf beside him. He was sure that Grey would survive but this bear was not worth it. It was not worth such a great risk to this man. Ulric's respect for Yorick went through the roof. After seeing the extent of the wolf's injuries he wouldn't have blamed him for turning and running away. It would have been the smart thing to do. Ulric eyed the bear carcass and left it there. He let loose a loud howl that would be heard by any pack members still in the territory. They could tend to the bear carcass his call made it clear what he wanted. Then he morphed back to his human self. It would be easier this way. He bent down to his knee and slid his arms under the gray wolf that lay there, bleeding and broken. He most likely didn't have the energy to make the change which was fine. Ulric would carry him all the way back to the castle. He would do this task himself and he would wait with him in the infirmary until his fate was determined. He hoped that Grey would come through and then perhaps he could let the other know that he was indeed sorry for being rude about his mate. He should have realized that human or not she was in fact his mate and if he were any real sort of wolf he would be deeply offended. He merely acted on instinct, though he might suggest that next time he train and react on thought rather than impulse. He would even hold true to what he had thought before. He would listen to him and what he had to say about humans. Perhaps if they were that appealing to a such a respectable wolf then maybe they weren't as filthy and dimwitted as the Veronti had once believed. Did that make them equals, never... but maybe it made the humans something better than just slaves. "Grey, once you're feeling better, I've got a lot of questions for you so you better not take to long to heal up." Ulric said jokingly to the wolf. He knew that Yorick could understand him. He made sure not to make to many jerking movement as he walked for fear of making the injuries any worse than they already are, "I shouldn't have mixed you up with a Veronti bear on your first hunt here in the territory." This time he didn't speak with a joking manner but that of a man who was sorry and at a loss for ways to show just how foolish he had been. Not that he would have been able to express them even if he knew how, he was the alpha and could show no sign of doubt in his actions. That would be a sign of weakness and weakness in leadership was unforgivable. He had to be strong and sometimes being strong meant being cold... _____________________ Word Count: 570
