[IC] The Two Sides

[Fionraella]

Dem looks around at the people in the camp. He over hears snipits of conversation. He gasps quietly, hearing his brother's name mentioned by one of them. He gathers enough of conversations to figure out that his brother is the leader in this camp. His heart sinks, realizing his presence could jeopardize his brother's position...somehow. With a heavy heart, he sets the jerky by a tree, hoping his brother would find it by some miracle. If he didn't, oh well, Dem would never know. He crawls back out of the bush and looks around at the camp for a glimpse of his brother. Not seeing him, he turns and begins walking away. He hears the distant sounds of the river and decides to head there to refill his water bottles. Sticking his hands in his pockets, he walks that way, heading further away from the Brom camp, towards the unclaimed territory.

Kianna pauses to catch her breath. There was a bit of distance between her and the Rabin camp, and she preferred it that way. The wolf shifter breathed in deeply and surveyed the surrounding forest.
It didn't take her long to continue moving. She had been out for at least twenty minutes at this point, and she decided to head to the river for some water. This far down the bank, it was probably the shallow area.

[Fionraella]

Dem looks around at the forest around him with a sad smile. "I can see why my brother would choose this of all places." He says to himself, shaking his hair out of his face. It had gotten longer after their parents died. He preferred it that way, made him feel older than he was. He soon reaches the river. Unscrewing the lid of his water bottle, he bends down to scoop up some water,but the bottle slips and falls into the river. "Shit!" He says loudly, before jumping into the river after it. He winces at the chilly water and reaches for the bottle, but his hand misses and the bottle floats downstream rapidly. "Great..." he groans, before wading to the Rabin side, which was closer, and pulling himself out of the river. He plops out, panting heavily, soaked.

Kianna reaches the water's edge in a few minutes. She leans down to lap at the cool water momentarily before she hear's someone's voice. It was unfamiliar at that!
Crouching low, she glances up and down the bank. Kianna perks her ears up to detect any more noise and moves towards it. The brawler eas more than prepared for a fight; in fact, she wanted one. It'd definitely clear her mind of everything.

Sacha tries to dodge that one, but it clips her shoulder. She gasps as her arm burns with hot pain. The dagger falls from her hand as she uses it to cover the wound, trying to limit blood loss. She glares at Paisley, now angry. "Ohhhh you'll pay for that one!" She snarls and pulls out an arrow, notching it in her bow.

@Fionraella

Paisley grinned at Sasha's anger. Vaguely she noticed her leader by the trees and she frowned. She returned her attention to her opponent and the arrow that was being pointed at her, "You know this was really fun but I think I've overstayed my welcome." She smirked at the girl and adressed Fabine, "She's all yours, Your Highness." She bowed quickly and made a move to leave before the arrow was fired.

[BeCreative]

Sorry for disappearing!!)

[Fionraella]

@Becreative
Sacha's bow lowers slightly, "Your highness?" She questions, before raising the bow and aiming at the girl and letting the arrow fly. She then turns to follow where the girl's gaze had gone and groans slightly, seeing Fabine. "Seriously Fabine? You're going to cross the border to do what? Kill me?" She glances warily between Paisley and Fabine and Jayden, feeling very outnumbered. She curses inwardly, hoping Paisley intended to leave Fabine and Jayden to fight her alone, that would certainly make the fight less in their favor. Her shoulder aches, making it hard to keep her bow raised.

@wallaberry

Dem sighs and begins wringing his shirt out. He could feel a sharp wind blowing through the trees, and had no intention of making himself colder than he was starting to feel. He groans, remembering the jacket in his backpack, which was now soaked as well. "Dammit you idiot!" He shouts loudly, shaking his head in frustration. He wish he would learn to think through things better. He huffs and decides he may as well just hang out and not begin heading back yet. He opens his pack and walks to the nearest tree, laying his jacket on the lowest branch. He knew it wouldn't get as dry as he'd like, but anything was better than dripping. He then decides to pull off his shirt he was wearing too, setting that up on the tree as well. He puts his hands on his hips and looks around the forest. He sighs and sits beneath the tree, closing his eyes to take a quick name while his jacket and shirt dried.

[wallaberry]

Kianna silently made her way closer and closer to the boy, hackles raised and teeth bared. She didn't recognize his voice or his appearance, and she could pick up the faint scent of Brom on him. Her eyes narrowed dangerously.
She decided to circle around through the forest in order to sneak up on him. It'd be better than her being out in the open. Oh, how she couldn't wait to tear into him.

[BeCreative]

Paisley cursed lightly as the arrow skimmed her shoulder. It was an injury akin to the one she had inflicted upon Sasha. It wa payback. Paisley smirked and only slightly got out of range, not wanting to go to far in case Favine needed her. She pressed a hand to her now ripped jacket and bleeding shoulder. This was her favorite jacket and now it has been ripped. She grumbled to herself.

[Fionraella]

@wallaberry

Dem exhales quietly, eventually falling asleep. His chest rises and falls with each breath. He hadn't slept since entering the forest, and it'd been a long day of walking and trying to find his brother. He was only going to nap for a little bit before going back home. He falls deeper asleep, completely unaware of any danger nearby. He was completely defenseless.

[Fionraella]

Sacha nods as Paisley leaves the fight. She then turns to face Fabine and Jayden, glancing at Jayden warily. She had never seen the boy fight and didn't trust the fact he had the stature of a brawler. "So Fabine, you're here to what? Kill me?" She asks, hoping she sounded more sure of herself than she felt, "You're not going to manage that if I have anything to say about it." She says calmly, glancing at her shoulder. Blood dripped down her arm, staining her shirt red. She sighs. She needed to have her arm looked at. Especially if they blood wasn't stopping anytime soon.

Fabine laughs coldly. "Oh really Sacha? You think you can stop me from killing you if I want to?" He looks to Jayden. "Get that bow away from her." He mutters to his fellow Brom before walking calmly forward. He smirks, seeing the shoulder wound. "It looks to me that you are having a bit of trouble keeping Paisley from hurting you. Unlike her, I wouldn't inflict such a minor wound, we both know that." He pulls out his dagger and holds it forward a bit.

[wallaberry]

Kianna moves closer and closer to Dem until she's close enough to attack. With narrowed eyes, she positions herself in front of him. She tenses her muscles and leaps out towards him, slamming her paws on his chest and pinning him to the ground. She easily outweighed him so the boy wouldn't be able to shove her off easily. Her teeth bared, she watches him expectedly.

[wallaberry]

Jayden prepared himself for what Fabine asked of him. He eyes his target silently as the two bicker. He decides he should get it out of the way now.
The brawler lunges for her bad arm, in hopes of startling her into dropping the boy. His claws were outstretched to sink into her flesh when he hit his mark. Jayden felt bad, but he couldn't let Fabine know.

[Fionraella]

Dem's eyes fly open as he's knocked to the ground. He grimaces as she pins him down, his eyes widening with fear. He struggles to throw her off of him, beginning to shake with fear, no idea that she was a shifter as well. He glances around for a weapon, but seeing none, lifts his leg in an attempt to throw her off of him. He grimaces and grunts, kicking upward at her stomach with his foot.

Sacha opens her mouth to retort to Fabine, but Jayden's sudden movement catches her offguard. She whirls to face him, aiming the arrow at him, but her arm trembles and she quickly moves to the side, making the split second decision to avoid being hit by him than try to hit him with an arrow. She curses. "You're a coward Fabine, can't even take me on your own!" She snaps, angrily as she aims the arrow at Fabine now, letting it fly towards the other leader.

[wallaberry]

Jayden curses as he misses his target, then scrambles to attack her again. As she shot her arrow at Fabine, he goes to bite her arm and sink his claws into her side.

Kianna snarls as Dem struggles, digging her claws into his shoulder. "Who are you?!" She growls, wincing as he knees her stomach. The brawler bared her teeth in his face, expecting a rapid response.

[Fionraella]

Fabine easily dodges the arrow, shaking his head with a smirk. "Sacha, sacha, sacha. You really think that I can let you live after all you've done? Even if I do need my group to help me take you out, you will fall this day!" He takes a few paces towards her, shooting a glare at Jayden. "Jayden if you do not stop her and get that bow I will kill you as well!" He snaps.

Sacha ignores Fabine's words, focusing on the threat closest to her. She curses as Jayden lunges at her. She quickly shifts and lunges at him instead, trying to startle him, hopefully knocking him to the ground instead. Her shoulder burns with the shift, now forced to hold her weight on it. She knows she can't go on much longer with her should that bad.

Dem flinches away from her teeth, trembling in fear and shock as she speaks to him. "A...are you a...are you like me?" He asks. "A..human who can...can turn into an animal?" He asks, hoping she wouldn't kill him if he admitted what he was. He tries to get free again, wiggling back and forth, hoping she would loosen her grip on his shoulders.

[wallaberry]

"What does it matter?!" Kianna snaps, slamming her paws down on him again. "Why are you here?" She demands, moments away from tearing into his flesh. She was quite impatient with his repsonses. It didn't help she was getting caught up in the moment and not thinking through her choices.

[BeCreative]

Paisley lurked on the outside of the fight. She bent down and pulled off her jacket. The wound wasn't deep and would probably only leave a minor scar, but it didn't stop it from bleeding. A lot. She ripped the bottom him of her shirt and tied the cloth under her armpit and around her shoulder. She tightened the not with her teeth and then shrugged her jacket back on. She returned her attention to the fight and rolled her eyes. As usual, Fabine was letting someone else do his dirty work. Jayden was a skilled brawler and Favine would come in and take over once the other boy had weakened her. At this rate Sasha didn't have a chance. Not that she cared or anything. Off in be distance, she heard a scream. Her interest was peeked but she didn't move.

[Fionraella]

"I was looking for my brother!" Dem whimpers, struggling again, then getting a great idea. "Help!" He shouts loudly. "Someone help me!" He half hoped that Fabine would hear, though he knew the chances were slim...and did he really want to be saved by his brother? He didn't, not really. He turns his attention back to his attacker. "Please...tell me what I did! I don't understand what you want from me!"

[wallaberry]

Kianna snarled at that, and went to bite into his shoulder. She tore roughly at his flesh, mostly because of all the pain she had been feeling recently. She tasted iron as blood soaked her teeth and face. It was a good distraction, and if she knew this boy was Fabine's brother...? He probably wouldn't make it.
