She was used to wandering by herself, but lately a certain male spotted cat kept coming up. Being dragged while half-naked wasn't pleasant and she learned the hard way that punching him in the face would only make matters worse- a rolling spotted cat wailing that he was 'hurt.' It was painstakingly annoying, especially when he thought he would order her around to get what he wanted. He was not her Alpha and he wasn't dying so she saw no reason to bow down to his whims. Tonight, with the chorus of her species, she assumed she would enjoy another night of solitude. Apparently she was dead wrong. While listening to the others howl, blue-grey eyes narrowed when she noticed the familiar figure of the spotted beast approaching her carrying a deflated football in his powerful jaws. Grey trimmed ears pointed forward, as he began to flick his tail allowing it to coil around her neck and chest, his spotted tail clearly mismatching against her ebony pelt stained with grey. It was odd, being touched in such a way, and she wasn't quite sure what to make of it. It was a harmless gesture, but it riddled her to no end- just why in the world did he always find and hang out with her. Feeling the buzzing of needing to join the chorus, she lifted her head eager to finally unleash some sort of sound, but nothing came out. Hearing Tobi scold and put her down, when she already felt humiliated, she would lower her dial attempting to ignore him. But it was rather a difficult thing to do when she heard this painful, agonizing yowl. Her ears pressed tightly against her skull as her lips pulled back in clear annoyance. As soon as he was mercifully done, she muttered softly her voice holding no distaste or joy....just simply stating a statement.

"That was...loud."

Her embarrassment from being unable to even let out a sound caused her to sit there, stooling in her despair, ignoring his angry spat. As he stood up, she would avert her gaze disturbed that he could make a sound and she couldn't. A sudden sharp pain was felt within her tail as she instantly sat up, her tail flatting against her flank as her lips pulled back bearing her sharp white teeth. Blue-grey eyes glared as a low snarl erupted from her throat, as she whirled around facing the damn cat that had purposely slammed his weight on her tail. That he was attempting to make her howl was not registered to her, rather, she was upset that he would do such a thing. Especially in such a sensitive area. Just because they knew one another, didn't mean he needed to do such a thing.

"That hurt!"

As he began to lope back to his deflated football she shook her head snorting softly in annoyance. Hearing him speak that they would play, she would take a hesitant step forward unsure of just what he meant by such a thing. As he lunged at her she would dodge to the side, puzzled as he ran past her heading towards two trees. Tilting her head to the side, as he explained just what she did wrong, a low growl rumbled softly as she headed back towards him. He never told her that was the game...in fact, she was dead sure she told him she never played a game before the last time they were together. Tossing the football towards her, she would snap her jaws shut picking up the pig-skin before feeling his paws wrap around her neck. Letting out a surprised yelp, she fell to the ground the football knocked out of her mouth as he scrambled to pick up the football. Hearing him gloat she shook her head, closing her eyes as she focused on her bones and muscles, urging them to grow. If he wanted to play this game...then she would need to be the correct size. Having the capability to increase her size three times, would surely be his downfall, but she was a creature that wanted to be fair. So, her size would increase two times, far bigger than any natural grey wolf would be...fairly matching or at least close to Tobi's height and weight. If he wanted to play rough then she was willing to oblige. As her longer limbs carried her scared lithe frame towards Tobi her massive paws would slam into the ground as she noticed a brindled wolf coming from the shadows knocking the spotted cat. With a flick of her tail she watched in amusement, finding some small satisfaction that someone had finally tackled him. Tilting her head to the side there was a subtle concern crossing her disfigured face as she called out to her spotted feline friend.

"Tobi...okay?"

Lifting her head a familiar scent was noticed as her dial turned around. Blue-grey eyes narrowed when she saw the familiar scarlet fox rushing to get away from the trio. Giving a curt nod to the male wolf, he was no threat since he was Tobi's new business partner...and the reason why she had a warm place to sleep on her sack with Tobi, her attention was fixed on the smaller canine. A soft woof was issued, as she took one step towards the fox, already over-powerful and massively taller than the last time they were in their shifted form together. Slowly her head would lower at the other's level not wishing to look so formidable to her roommate. The fox was similar to her, more so than just because they were the same gender and species, but it was evident after observing her the last time they shared a similar past. Both had suffered from the teeth of their parents and were treated poorly from the very pack they ran away from. Her ebony tail, outlined with grey that seemed to shimmer underneath the glow of the silver moon, would sway side to side as her gentle voice brushed her friend and equal's mind.

"Alexis...don't go home...it is not fun...Stay?"

Both needed some fun and why couldn't take the time to enjoy it underneath the full moon? Lifting her head some, a strong gale ruffled her thicker darker fur, carrying various unknown scents. These scents were unknown to her, although there were three that she had noticed on her spotted friend's pelt. She never bothered to ask why his pelt was covered in various feline scents. She was not one to poke her muzzle around where it did not belong. Blue-grey eyes observed the area much closer as she scanned the top of the knoll. She could barely make out the slender dark figure of some sort of panther that was near the fox, her thick fur bristled upwards. Taking a step backwards, she caught sight of a snowy spotted form come out from the shadows and sit beside the black female feline. Yet the number of scents she smelled did not match the felines she saw. Turning her head to Tobi, her muzzle would barely brush his shoulder as she took another step back, clearly uncomfortable. She was rather large for her species and should she need to fight she could handle her own, barely though. Even though she was twice her size at this point that didn't necessary mean she wanted to get in a bout with a pride of felines. Standing still, not cowering, her grey-trimmed ears would swivel back and forth atop of ebony skull, keeping tabs on the ones she saw and the ones she was attempting to find. The two feline scents she caught were male. She could not find just where they were, but she knew they were nearby and she knew far too well that she was in trouble. Males, above all, were far more dangerous. Her eyes would flicker to catch the golden iris of the fox, sharing a silent understanding that they were both in a situation that neither wanted to be in- due to their shared violent past. Her words would brush Tobi's mind, her tone holding an uneasy note.

"Tobi...you brought more cats...and males."

Tobi was not her Alpha, he was a selfish creature that had no intention to protect. She was on her own and the fleeting desire to be amongst a pack sounded like a better idea than ever before now that she was stuck in this situation. It would seem that the spotted feline that always found her decided to bring his friends. The thought of being locked away in a cage, for once, was a feeling she was beginning to desire...at least she would be safe. Perhaps Alexis had the right plan- maybe they should go home.

I'd Rather Feel Pain Then Nothing At All
