No Of Course I'm Not Following You ...
Tate walked restlessly for miles and miles . His eyes looking forward sternly . His once groomed brown fur was now sticking out in odd directions and stained red . His yellow eyes held some sort of ... anguish inside . His body was more built and lean . His face held an odd expression . As he snapped back to his senses he stopped himself and looked around his new surroundings . All around him was dark , silent , and ominous . Tate sighed in frustration and sunk his massive bloody claws into the ground . Tate hadn't been himself for a while now , he wasn't even sure what or who he was looking for at the moment . Everything seemed like a blur to him . Tate... His head spun around to the unknown voice calling out his name . Surprised to see nobody about he growled angrily , '' Who dares call my name ? '' . After getting no response he smashed his paw at a puddle of mud in frustration and buried his face into his paws howling out , '' GET OUT OF MY HEAD ! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT ! .'' Without thinking he slammed his forehead straight onto the trunk of a tree . Silence filled the forest as he stood to his paws . His eyes darkened has he felt the warm red liquid ooze out of his forehead and drip around his face . Tate's breathing slowened as he sat down burning his yellow gaze into the puddle of water before him .
Whats wrong with me ... Have I completely lost it? He thought miserably in his head . Walking over to a small pond he gazed into it and widened his eyes to the horrible image that lay before him . Looking back at him was a horrible looking creature with blood staining it's brown fur . It's yellow menacing eyes burned into his own making him shudder for a second . Fresh blood oozed around it's face and dripped onto the water making the image blur . Tate took a step back in shock . What have I become... He shook his head in confusion trying to remember what exactly he was doing here and why he looked like a blood thirsty killer ! When nothing came forth he sighed angrily and sat down resting his head upon his large paws . He tried to clear his mind of this nightmare and tried thinking more positive thoughts . Of course the first thing that came to his mind was the female Matana . The only wolf he had ever actually befriended . She was an odd one yes , but with an amazing personality aside from the fact she couldn't seem to let go of her past . He smiled a bit as the relaxing memory filled his mind .

" HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW A RAVEN IS LIKE A WRITING DESK "
I haven't the slightest idea! Rueff tipped his head to the side to hear better, hearing Tate's cries of frustration. His one good ear swivelled like a sonar dins trying to pick up a signal. He finally picked a direction and headed off. He was intrigued. What was this wild so angry about? He felt empty without another personality inside him, without a mad little voice whispering sins in his ear, sending his moral compass into a spin. Was this wolf another Rueff, or Broken Shadow, in the making? He finally saw the brown-stained-red figure as the trees thinned. He sighed. Once so normal. He cleared his throat loudly. He quickly noted the fresh blood on the stranger's face and frowned. Rueff often self-harmed when he was frustrated or stressed. He wondered if it was this wolf's intent "Who's got your feathers ruffled?" He then added as an afterthought, "I'm Rueff" TAG: Tate

Matana needed some time away from Rue's territory. His pack members were starting to get on her nerves with their annoying nagging about leaving. The weak ones acted all tough thought Matana could easily eat them for dinner if she wished. The only reason she didn't was because of Rue. He would be very upset with her if she ate one of his pack members, thought he could easily get another one.
Letting out a sigh, she wondered through a comforting forest, but came to a stop when the scent of crimson iron reach her charcoal noses. Along with it came the scent of Tate, one of the wolves she had recently meet and was growing rather attached too. When she came to the area in which he stood she saw a familiar face. Why was it Rue? Ignoring the urge to be beside she walked over to Tate. "What happen to you Tate? Why are you bleeding?" The black female went to lick the blood away to clean his fur.

Company?
Yellow orbs raised over towards the male who referred himself as 'Rueff' . Tate studied him carefully , he knew this wolf , perhaps not personally but mentally he knew who he was . It took him a while until it finally clicked back to him . Ah but of course ! Matanas past mate yes? He thought to himself as he stood up . He knew better than to bring any of that up so he simply nodded his greeting and replied in an awkward tone , '' Pleasure to meet you , my name is Tate . '' His eyes blinked in confusion as the male asked what had gotten Tate so worked up . Sitting there lost in thought he asked himself the question over and over to himself not realizing he was saying it outloud , '' What's got me so angry ? Why am I angry ? What's got me so worked up ? '' He felt the anger and frustration begin to rise once more so he quickly shook himself before blowing up again . Tate struggled for a while looking for the right words but managed to choke out , '' I wish I knew as well ... Only thing I feel that I know is that I'm looking for someone or something .'' His eyes became dark and expressionless as he sat back down . His gaze seemed to go right through Rueff as if he wasn't even there at all .
After a couple minutes of complete ominous silence he spoke a bit more lively this time , '' Mind I ask what your doing around here this late Rueff ? '' . Yes Tate may have just had a mental breakdown but that didn't really change his polite and respectful personality . Given the circumstances he was in need of small talk . A distraction . Anything that could help clear his mind from this dark force taking him over . (( Crud sorry Matana I just saw your post ! )) |

" HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW A RAVEN IS LIKE A WRITING DESK "
I haven't the slightest idea! Rueff scowled as Matana fussed over the this "Tate". Was she following him? Why did she find him, always, everywhere. Never there when he wanted her to be, but always appeared when she was least wanted. At least to him. Matana really had a bad knack for timing. Alone-time would be a magical blessing. He just decided to vividly ignore her, eyes locked on Tate's. But he couldn't help his scowl reappearing at the bitter thought of Matana showing up. Again. "Well, with a certain dilemma keeping from sleeping these nights, there are many hours I have to fill. So I need to exercise my leg" There was no real point to keep pushing his badly injured leg. He just needed to grow accustomed to the lancing pain it gave him every time he used it. And if there was someone who could deal with pain it was Rueff. He relished pain. It cleared his mind. When he was stressed and frustrated, as he was these days, his claws often found his own flesh, the acrid copper smell of blood and the pain it brought bringing him clarity They were just the methods of a madman TAG: N/A

Matana knew that Rue's gaze was burning in her fur with hate. This time she wasn't seeking him, but they happened to come across each other. This wasn't her fault, she got Tate's scent and came worried about him. For once, she could care less what Rue wanted, she was focus on her friend that treated her with kindness. Who brought out her more playful side, the side that she had been missing.
Looking over her black furred shoulder she meet the males raging gaze, "Oh drop it Rue, I wasn't looking for you nor was I following you. I got Tate's scent and I came to find him." She knew what he was thinking, all the time they spent together she had grown to know him and the way he thought. Now a days, his thoughts about her always seemed to be the same. Cold and cruel.
Turning her honey gaze back to Tate, she smiled sweetly. Reaching her black muzzle out she tried to lick away his blood with a gentle pink tongue. What had happened to Tate? This wasn't like him and it was clear that Rue didn't attack him. So why? Matana had recently joined a group of wolves feeling the loneliness catching up to her. Yet, now she was thinking about leaving and being around Tate more. She feared the worse for him.

Tate scented the familiar scent of Matana . He looked around until he spotted her black fur appear among the brush making her way towards them . He suddenly felt her warm tongue cleaning him of some of the blood that was stained across his pelt . Tate... His eyes darkened once more as the voice filled his mind . He looked over to Matana and saw it was no longer her , but instead was a horrid creature he wished he'd never have to endure . Tate let a low deep growl escape from his throat as he curled his lips back in a snarl exposing his bloody fangs . Without second thought he leaped onto the creature and pinned it down holding his paw firmly against its throat . '' WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME ! GET OUT OF MY HEAD ! GET OUT OF MY LIFE ! '' He howled with anger as he hardened his grip against it .
(( I know it's short but I need Rueff to get his psychotic butt off of poor Matana lol Sorry Matana you'll soon see why he's being this way >.< )) |

" HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW A RAVEN IS LIKE A WRITING DESK "
I haven't the slightest idea! Rueff snapped at Matana, like a guitar string wound to tightly. "Are you sure. Matana? Because that's all you ever seem to do!" How could he not think that? She had stalked him, crushing his haven pack under her paw. His nights were sleepless at the decision that she had lay before him! He was seething, his teeth drawn back, his face distorted into a disgusting image of rage. But his face faltered as she fussed over Tate. Because when Tate snapped, all he saw was himself. He knew what that was like, when you think you know what you see, but it's really just an illusion. And to Rueff, when it wasn't Rueff hallucinating, he thought it was hilarious. Rueff snorted, his snarl turning into a derogatory grin of madness. It gets easier But he wouldn't say that! He was enjoying the show! TAG: Matana, Tate

To be honest, she was rather surprised by Tate's attack, but she remained calm. Using her strong back legs, she pushed Tate off her and got to her feet. She could feel a warm crimson liquid touch her skin, but she ignored it. Locking her honey brown gaze on Tate she was ready for another attack. Looking into his yellow eyes, she knew this wasn't the Tate that she had grown so close to. Something was wrong, he would never attack her. "Tate, calm down. Breath."
Matana paid little attention to Rue, she didn't care about him right now. His cruel sick nature didn't bother her one bit. She didn't need him to be her hero, not anymore. Expecting him to come to her rescue was pointless and seeing this only made her want to give up on him even more. Her days of twisted cruelty were coming to an end and she wished to settled down. She was starting to feel that way towards Tate, but she wasn't sure.
"Tate it's alright. It's me, Matana." The black female tried to take another step towards him. She wanted her gentle playful Tate back.

Breathe...relax....count to three ...open your eyes.
His yellow eyes eased as he heard the soothing words of a female . He took a couple shallow breaths , relaxed his shoulders and began his count . '' One...'' The creature was beginning to slowly fade to a darker shade . '' Two...'' Golden soft eyes appeared on the black furred wolf . '' Three...'' Tate blinked open his eyes and saw Matana standing a bit shocked in front of him . She was talking but he was still a bit fuzzy and couldn't really make out her words . He sat there in silence until he fully came back to his senses . He knew exactly what he had just done and couldn't believe he did it yet again . Tate blinked his eyes once more and backed up a bit looking over at her . '' I...I'm sorry...I didn't....'' He struggled to barely choke out the words but managed . He shook his head and more sternly looked over to Matana and in a harsh tone growled , '' Matana don't ever come near me again . We can no longer have any communication whats so ever ...You never met me and we will never meet again.'' Nodding his head to Rueff , who had seemed to have enjoyed the situation, he quickly ran off towards the way he had come from he stopped midway and looked back to Matana pain struck in his eyes he whispered quietly '' I'm sorry...'' And quickly dissapeared without another word. (( Gots to go >.< Be on later or tomorrow Rueff it's ok by the way haha I had that coming)) |

Matana let out a sigh of relief as she saw the male seemed to be calming down. She two released her tense muscles and started to step towards him, but froze. His words were like ice, it was the same heart shattering feeling. Leave... He wanted to leave her. Never to be seen again, it was like they had never meet. "No! You can't leave me! Tate!" The female shouted after him as he ran away. He was the only happiness she had at the moment. Her meetings with Rue never seemed to get any better and they always seemed to be shredding her heart away.
Clawing the ground in anger and sadness she growled to herself. "Tate! Come back!" The she-wolf began to sprint after him. Matana left Rue without a single thought. She didn't care about the mass of pain that was standing right beside her. On the verge of breaking down she needed her happiness back. They ray of sunshine that Tate brought into her dark life. She didn't want to be alone. If Tate left she would have to be around Rue and that would only push her further and further into darkness. "Tate! Please don't leave me!"

Go Back
His pace quickened as he heard Matana running after him shouting for him to come back and not leave her . His head spun with different feelings as he struggled to continue forward . The memory of first meeting the female flushed through his confused mind causing him to slow down without taking notice . That's when Tate remembered the female telling him about how hurt she was with the whole situation with Rueff . She was in enough pain already and it wasn't in him to cause her anymore . He didn't understand himself at the moment . Tate did not want to be around her so he wouldn't hurt her ever yet at the same time he couldn't help but actually want to be around her . Realizing he had now stopped lost in thought he looked back towards Matana and hung his head low . His eyes full of hurt and pain he sat there in shame . Why did I come all this way... That's it...Tate finally remembered what he was searching for .
Matana... The memory flushed in his mind making it seem so very vivid . He had gone to go check up on the female one morning but found her nowhere in her territory . Thinking nothing of it he returned home and decided to see her the next day . As he returned he became concerned as he once again did not find her anywhere . Her scent was very faint , she hadn't been home for some while now . The worst came to his mind , she had left without a single goodbye . Tate had stayed at her territory with hope she'd come back but to his surprise she never did . He struggled for a couple days unsure of why he was so attatched to the female . That's when he had made his mind up about going after her . The memory suddenly blurred leaving the rest of it out . Tate looked back up towards Matana and sighed not wanting to tell her he had come in search of her . '' I don't want to hurt you Matana....'' He stated simply struggling to keep his cool . |

Finally catching up to him, she stopped and looked at him with sad honey brown eyes. Her ray of light now stood in front of her, so close that she felt the warmth without even touching it. The saddened wolf spoke of fear, the fear of hurting the one he cared for. "Tate," Matana said releasing a sigh, "The only way you could hurt me is by leaving me. Rue is already causing me so much pain, you are my treatment. The coldness in his gaze claws at my heart everyday and when I see you I feel it slowly begin to heal. Tate, I need you and I don't think you understand how important you are to me." The black female stepped closer and closer to the male to show she didn't fear him, not one bit.
Not only was she trying to get away from the pain of Rueff, but in fact she had come to look for Tate. She hadn't been around her den and didn't speak of leaving to him. Knowing he was around and most likely was wondering where she was, she returned. "Tate, I joined up with a group of wolves. It's called the Joker's Cult. I will be around them for a little while, being around Rue's group is really breaking me down. I understand that you would rather go solo so I went in search of wolves I could join. I wanted you to know that I wouldn't be around my den much anymore, but I'm always willing to stop by your place if you ever want to talk." A gentle smile was placed on the female's ugly scared face.

His tail drooped a bit as she mentioned the group she was now with . His eyes shown a tad bit of sadness but he pushed it away as he straightened himself up . A sigh escaped his mouth as he calmly replied , '' Of course I will not leave you miss ...I don't believe I ever could in fact leave a beauty as yourself . '' His eyes widened a bit at what he had just said . Well that just happened...He thought lamely to himself as he shrugged it away . In that small moment he felt as if all his 'issues' were all magically disappearing . All that was left was silence and the present . Tates eyes strengthened up as he continued , '' Don't believe I've ever heard of them . How is it so far . '' For a split moment his eyes shown with curiosity . He hadn't really had much experiences with packs or groups . As far as he knew it was that they all obeyed orders from the Alpha . If it wasn't for that one rule Tate would be joining packs/groups in a flash . He wasn't always in favor of being pushed around by someone other than himself .
Tate turned his attention back to Matana and sat there just staring blankly at her . A part of him noticed the bad condition the female was in . Including her scars that covered her face . Then there was that stronger part of him that pushed right through those 'flaws' and saw nothing but beauty . He smiled warmly for a second taking that in for a while . After mentioning she had come back in search of him he chuckled and barked , '' No need for the hassle of going back and forth miss , I'll be glad to go through those small journeys for you . '' Thinking that sounded a little bit too cheesy he awkwardly corrected himself , '' I mean like ..to you know check up on you ? Make sure no big bad wolves are causing any trouble .'' He finished with a playful poke to the shoulder . Gee im so awkward... He thought awkwardly as he sat there in confusion for a second . |

Matana smiled as the male seemed to become more and more like himself. When he began to speak of the pack and the details about how they would meet, she smiled even more. She actually had someone that she didn't have to chase after. This was a very refeshing feeling and it was because she was getting away from Rue. Maybe it was time, time to let go of the past and seek a better future. Matana would always remember Rueff, but how things are between the two of them would never get better it seemed. The female had left to many times and the cut was so deep that it seemed all the feelings between the two had run like crimson blood.
"You know you could always join the group. I'm can't see myself being very loyal to the group to be honest. They are just a means to pick myself up. It's more like free food and a few friendly faces to talk too. I wouldn't really give my life for any of them." Matana wondered if she was making any sense with her words. She wasn't loyal loyal to the group or pack. She was just around for the territory, protection, and good socializing. "Still, I will gladly meet you half way. We can set up meeting times and I can promise I will always be there waiting when you come. Still, being protected from all the big bad wolves seems nice." Matana let out a cheerful laugh at the silly joke.
