Arianna Tolsa's Story

{Arianna Tolsa}

Arianna sat quietly in the trees above her pack watching closely in case a fight broke out between the two packs.
She had caught the sent of blood while she was walking along the edge of the woods, people thought she was exercising but really she was keeping a lookout for any odd activity. She had gotten a weird feeling about today early that morning, the air seemed heavier, like a storm was coming.
Arie had arrived on the scene just before Jamie but kept back and out of site. The smell of the blood was starting to stick to the inside of her nose and it was beginning to give her a small headache. After a moment she scurried down the tree and slowly walked up behind Milaela and whispered softly, "What should we do with the body? We can't leave it here.... Can we?" Ofcorse they couldn't, what if someone were to find it. The police would be called and there would be a witch hunt for the killer. She glanced over at the others and bit the inside of her cheek to keep from growling at them. It seemed the two packs were at a stand still, Arianna didn't want to instigate anything if they could all handle this without a fight.

Danny was in his apartment on the edge of town, going crazy. The smell of blood and other wolves was blowing straight into his apartment through an open window, but he didn't know that, he thought something had died in his apartment so her was tearing up the place looking for it. Finally he realized the window was wide open and ran to it, when he did the smell almost smacked him in the face with how strong it was. Quickly he threw a shirt on and ran out of the complex into the woods. He found the source of the smell rather quickly and saw his pack. After a moment of taking in the scene he realized who was standing a few feet away from him, the alpha from the other pack and two of his member. Danny jumped and quickly ran over to his pack.
Hey! So what happened here? he whispered to Jamie who seemed just as confused as Danny was.

Jamie glanced between Nia and his own pack members, feeling on edge. Already, a member of the other pack was threatening them. Sin hadn't said the body was their right- and that would have been creepy anyways. When the redhead actually had the gawl to glare at Arianna, Jamie found himself growling under his breath. Though, to his credit, he stayed pretty calm considering it was him. He wouldn't stand to have his pack threatened though, in any way. His eyes looked over the redhead, making mental notes of who she was. She was talking again no, but this time not directed at anyone.

"A lone wolf? How did none of us notice that right away?" Jamie asked aloud, more to himself than anyone else. Sure, he couldn't smell a wolf of the decaying corpse like Redhead could, but that's cause it smelled like, just that, decay. If the wolf had been anywhere nearby, shouldn't someone had picked up the scent? Or maybe he really ran that fast that he was no where nearby by the time they got there to pick up the scent. "Wait, why would a lone wolf come here suddenly? We don't get strays- two packs in one town? That's hardly advertising free territory."

And then Arianna was yelling about someone coming. Shit. Jamie glanced at Mikaela, ready to run for it. But then he glanced at the body. "We can't just leave her here, the town will be on high alert. It's obviously an animal attack," Jamie said quickly, glancing between the two alphas. They needed orders and they needed them quickly.

Arianna watched quietly from the shadows, being the only member of her pack to dare stay in the woods was sometimes a good thing. She watched as the hunters came upon Sin and almost hoped they would end him, but as the hunter was about to take his shot one of Sin's pack attacked the man. Arianna wanted to step forward and stop her but she knew it would only cause trouble, more trouble then she wanted to deal with.
She watched as Nia killed the man, Arianna trembled slightly, anger filled her blood. slowly she brought out her phone and snapped a picture of the bloody scene before her. She would show it to Mikaela later.
Quickly before she could be found Arianna turned and ran through the trees toward home. She didn't stop running until she hurtled through the door of the local bar.
She looked at the few people in the bar as they stared at her and then at the man behind the counter.
"There you are! Sorry I'm late babe, I lost track of time!" She said, loudly, and on purpose, as she walked quickly to a table where a young man sat. She leaned down and kissed his cheek and whispered, "Play along I'm being followed." She lied looking into his eyes pleadingly, lucky for her someone walked into the bar right after her and then walked out, they must not have realized where they were.
Arianna sat down across from the man her back to the rest of the patrons in the bar and smiled.

Daniel had followed Mikaela closely as they ran back to town, when they got to the safe zone he fell to the ground and groaned "What do we do now?" He asked rubbing his eyes, he hadn't slept well and it had been a very eventful morning. All he wanted to do was go back to bed.
"What if we cant get to the body? I mean Sin really doesn't like us, he may keep it from us and say we did it." He knew he shouldn't be asking such things but it bit at the back of his mind and he couldn't ignore it. He would rather get shot down for asking such questions of his alpha then not voice his thought at all.

Arianna perked up quickly then smiled and nodded, "I'm new to the area." She lied again.
It was almost a little scary how good of a liar she was, not that she would ever lie to her pack but to others, she had no problem lying to them. Suddenly the door flung open again and a alight breeze blew around the bar, amongst all the smells that swirled around her Arianna pick two out almost instantly. One was the smell of the hunters from the woods and the other was the extra smell that had been at the crime scene. She watched the hunter sit down and held back a growl then looked back at the man sitting across from her then said, "You want to get out of here?" She smiled, still not quite able to pin point the extra smell. As they stood and walked out she took note of everyone's face and made a mental note to keep track of them all.

Danny scowled then looked down at himself, he was a bit of a mess he had to admit. Quickly he got to his feet and walked to a nearby water fountain and splashed his face. The cold water was refreshing and woke him up instantly, "WOW!" He muttered as he approached his pack again a wide grin on his face, he cracked his neck and fingers then stood next to his alpha, feeling much better. "I think we should try to pick the trail up of the girls attacker, if we can find out who he is before Sin maybe we can handle it ourselves." He suggested looking around at the members of the pack and then at Mikaela and smiling again sheepishly.

Caleb were struggling to navigate the woman before him. Most people he could make more sense of but she were…odd. And random. Distant but present. He blinked stunned by her next words proposing to leave the bar suddenly. “Uh, sure,” he replied, scrambling around for his leather jacket which he slid his arms in and flicked up to his shoulders.
Before escaping the bar with her he heard the shaken voice of one of the men from before. “….They killed her, man, then they took Zeke….Pack….I need help….Werewolves….Send others.” He glanced over his shoulder to the hunter on his phone, hanging up and rubbing his forehead. Caleb then exited the bar.

They had only managed what seemed like a few steps before being stopped by an alpha. She radiated dominance in her own way. “Shit,” he muttered under his breath. In a lame attempt, Caleb kept his distance and tried to hide his eyes, averting his gaze looking everywhere but at Mikaela as the friends exchanged words. The other alpha tried recruiting him a few times and she did once. But Caleb didn’t play nice with others and couldn’t become the type to live by their principles rather than his own. In his eyes it were just easier to be a one-man pack.
Normally he wouldn’t be so unsettled by a packs presence if he hadn’t caused them hell with the whole body incident. He didn't like the likelihood that the dark haired woman with the blue eyes were a wolf all along either. Should've damn well known it! Were this some weird well played trap?

"A diversion." Arianna muttered quickly as she flipped out her cell phone and showed Mikaela the pictures of the beta from Sin's pack killing the hunter. "I back tracked the scent of the hunter to the bar. Also... The smell that had been blanketing the girl was there too." She ran her fingers through her hair scratching her scalp. She sniffed the air and glanced back at Caleb, his scent was there with the body. Her brow furrowed and a low growl erupted from her chest. "Him..." She looked back at Mikaela and shifted her eyes to the ground, "I was careless, I'm sorry." She lowered her head and looked at the ground, when Mikaela placed her hand on Arianna's shoulder she jumped slightly then looked up and smiled softly. "We are in serious trouble though. More hunters will come. What do we do then?"
They could just leave it alone and let the hunters get Sin and his pack, but Arianna knew Mikaela wouldn't like that idea, after all Sin was still her blood brother..

Danny could feel the tension in the air and quickly made an attempt to defuse it. He walked over to the man that had come with Arianna and held out his hand a big grin on his face.
"I'm Danny, Sorry about Arianna. She can be a bit cold at times but once you get on her good side... She warms up some." Daniel smiled and shrugged at the look Arianna gave him, that girl could freeze lava sometimes. He would never admit it but she sometimes scared him, but he knew her intentions were good. She just wanted to protect the pack, they were her family, Danny knew that best of all, they two of them were like siblings.

Instinctively she rose at the tension in the small room. Whether it was to flee or defend herself, she wasn't sure but she didn't like Sin glowering over Nia. The two were both ready for a fight and she didn't particularly like the easily activated fire in their guts for a fight. It was rare for one to stand down but thankfully Nia behaved.
She cleared her throat to re-direct their attention to another matter. Loyalty and the hierarchy was important but right now they had hunters to deal with that would be covering ground as they fought among themselves. Then, Sin concluded what she feared. They hunt the hunters. Sin was the type that lacked patience so if the hunters didn't remove themselves in a ridiculously short time frame, Sin would declare it war and within reason to attack. "But they might not even know who we are as long as we keep our heads down for a while. Just for a while!" she emphasized and came close to pleading. She didn't fancy death or more bloodshed. One body was enough as far as she was concerned. "They'll look for the body for a while, then they'll quit," she tried to insist looking between her beta and alpha, praying they'd go with the keep low approach.
Hunters had nothing to hunt if nothing was there.
