Scarred Thorn

Alpha Male

When Iris did not answer, yet anyway, Scar lowered his head a little, memories still trickling back.

Wandering through the forest after leaving the body of his mom, Scar paid no attention to anything, just terrified, hungry, lost, and alone. He felt immense grief- everything just hurt hurt hurt. Then he heard a crack in the woods, but he didn't even pay attention, his vision blurred by tears. A moment later he was struck in the shoulder with a bullet from the back- thankfully it went right through the muscle but didn't hit bone. Scar screamed in pain, his puppy eyes wide with terror as he collapsed. A hunter came running up with his son, yelling in the weird human language. It sounded something like an argument.. the older man was yelling about how the son shouldn't have shot the wolf, and that it was illegal to shoot a pup. The son was saying something about how he thought it was a rabbit. Then they both just left. Scar laid limp in the brush, his whole world sliding into blackness.

Scar opened his eyes to see he was still in the camp. Safe. He sighed a little, his pelt twitching. he was starting to get used to... this..

Scar shook off his pelt, feeling uneasy- he wanted to go check something out. When Iris walked up he shook his head. "You can rest..." He said quietly, walking away and towards the camp entrance. He then went straight towards the boundry of the pack, crossing it and continuing. Trotting until his leg was literally trying to kill him, Scar dropped to a limping walk, finally there. An old hollowed out tree stump. A small clearing. Those same bushes. He circled the place he once called home, breathing in slowly as vision snapped back. Scar then moved a little further, next to the stream where he had found out Lilah was just playing a game. He sat down near the river, staring into the glassy surface for what seemed like forever when he heard a low laugh. THE laugh he kept hearing in his NIGHTMARES. The laugh that kept him awake for hours at night. Lilah. He turned, seeing the slim she-wolf emerge from the bushes, along with the two other males... Boulder and Jock. Scar pinned his ears angrily, his body tensing.

"Oh look who decided to show up after all these years? Poor baby Scar... still lost and alone as always." Lilah snickered, circling him before standing in front of him. Boulder sidled off to the right, growling, and Jock went to the left until Scar was surrounded. "Where did you go after our last meaningful conversation, Scarred Thorn? You dumped me!" She howled with laughter, both males to her side cracking grins.

Scar's hackles bristled as he silently took the blows. He couldn't afford to get in a fight.. could he?

"Goodness, now he won't even speak to me. Still holding a grudge, baby? How sad.." Lilah purred, coming closer with a smile. "You know you can't resist me."

Scar let out a slight hiss of irritation and tried to back up a little, only to be met by the crumbling bank of the fast flowing river. "Get away from me, Lilah. That life is long gone." He growled, his dark blue eyes glinting angrily. Scar wasn't going to mention he was the Alpha of a pack now.. these three idiots would probably go after his packmembers.

"Aw Scar, don't be so sour." Lilah sniffed, her eyes narrowing as she smelled other wolves scent on his fur. "Where have you been? Why do you smell like other wolves?" She growled.

Scar lifted his head. "None of your business, Lilah. Move." He snapped, standing to leave.

"Oh gosh! Scar, you're hurt! How convenient!" Lilah yelped with an evil grin, swooping in and bringing crushing jaws down on his leg. Jock and Boulder were immediately on top of him.

Scar let out a howl of rage and agony, pain screaming through his leg. He shook free of the three and whirled round to face them- he couldn't lead them back to the pack. "Fight me if you can, weaklings. I'll take you all." he spat, trying to rile them up so they would forget about the pack smells.

Scarred Thorn

Lilah looked infuriated at Scar's words, jumping on him and pummeling him with blows. Jock and Bolder quickly reattacked as well.

When Iris, then Aspen, then Bo came racing in, Scar's heart took a dive. Now these three maniacs (Boulder, Jock, and Lilah XD) would know that he had a pack. Would they try and hurt his packmates? He prayed they didn't get hurt protecting him... they were far outside their territory so technically the only reason they were fighting was because of him. Not to protect anything. Scar snarled with anger that someone might get hurt other than him, furiously attacking the biggest wolf- Boulder. He body slammed the big russet red wolf into the ground, viciously snapping at Boulder's skin with sharp, slicing fangs. Boulder was soon yelping in pain and limping away, disappearing into the brush.

"BOULDER YOU WIMP! COME BACK!" Lilah screeched, looking angry as she fought amazingly against the new reinforcements.

"Leave Lilah to me." Scar barked, cornering the female against the river. "You stay away from my pack or I will rip you from limb to limb. You are not part of my life anymore. Leave!" He snarled, snapping at her face.

"I will come back for you Scar!" Lilah growled before stepping too far back, tumbling into the river.

Scar could tell she got out... 100 yards down the river he saw a slim, soaked wolf scrambling onto a bank and disappearing. He turned to Jock, but the male had already left. All that was left was Bo, Iris, and Aspen.
