[Issue 11] Trails

by **Narrator** » Fri Nov 23, 2012 2:07 pm

As Chloe and Kay got out into the woods, they could see that some of the other prisoners had been... less than subtle in their retreat. At least two trails of obvious destruction were visible, even in the fog.

Chloe paused for a moment, as she spotted the trails, and glanced back at Kay.

by **Kay Haddock** » Fri Nov 23, 2012 7:32 pm

"You think that's from one of the others?"

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Nov 23, 2012 11:16 pm

Chloe nodded, then jerked her head towards a less ripped up area.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sat Nov 24, 2012 8:00 am

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." she nods, skittishly looking around as she follows Chloe.

by **Chloe Grant** » Sat Nov 24, 2012 11:53 am

Chloe continued on into the woods.

by **Narrator** » Sat Nov 24, 2012 11:55 am

The noises were distracting, even from a distance. Some of those released seemed to be staking out territory, and by the bellows that echoed occasionally, there were disputes.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sat Nov 24, 2012 12:27 pm

"D-do you know where we're going?"

by **Chloe Grant** » Sat Nov 24, 2012 10:28 pm

Chloe shook her head 'no', then motioned for Kay to keep following her.

by **Narrator** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 2:04 pm

As Kay and Chloe got deeper into the forest, something shifted in the undergrowth, obscured by the fog. Apparently taking notice of them, it bellowed a challenge.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 2:10 pm

Kay lets out a whimper and shrinks back behind her dino-bird friend.

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 2:53 pm

Oh bugger. Chloe thought I need to stay calm, stay in control, meat is bad, meat is gross. And I need to fight that. She took a deep breath, then let out a loud hiss, puffing up her feathers.

by **Narrator** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 3:02 pm

The creature snorted, and then lurched out of the fog and into their view. It was hard to see if it was wearing a collar.

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 3:20 pm

Bugger Chloe thought as she hissed again Meat is bad, meat is yucky, maybe I can scare it away.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 3:21 pm

Kay, having never seen much wildlife outside the zoo (much less up close and in a creepy forest some weirdo brought her to) let's out a scream as the huge, noise-making thing steps out of the brushes.

by **Narrator** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 3:24 pm

The creature was apparently undaunted as it leveled its antlers at Chloe and charged!

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 3:31 pm

With a scream of pure dino-rage, Chloe leaped up onto the stag's back, grabbing on with her rear claws while her front claws and teeth savaged the creature's back.

by **Narrator** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 3:53 pm

This was not, frankly, a tactic the stag was used to encountering. It made an alarmed, pained cry as it bucked to try to dislodge Chloe. The smell of blood was in the air...

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 3:55 pm

Kay screams again, louder, and backs away from the chaos of blood and feathers and the screams of the stag.

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:06 pm

Chloe dug in harder to avoid being bucked off, and bit down as hard as she could on the stag's neck, trying to sever the spine.

by **Narrator** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:16 pm

Which certainly did the job, as the stag collapsed in a heap.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:18 pm

"Oh god, you killed it, you k-k-killed it!"

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:23 pm

Chloe let out a savage roar, and took a huge bite out of the stag's throat. She swallowed it whole, blood lust drowning out everything else. She took a second bite, savoring the taste of What am I doing?!? NO! NO! NO! I hate meat, meat is disgusting. I do not eat meat. No! No! No! She spat out the second bite, and, looking rather ashamed, tried to clean the blood off her maw.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:26 pm

Kay turns around to run when Chloe takes the first bite, but she doesn't make it very far, stumbling over a root or shrubbery in the darkness. She crawls a couple more feet but then just rolls up into a whimpering ball under a bush.

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:56 pm

Oh bugger. Chloe said to herself I must have scared her. she tried to wipe off the worst of the blood on her claws. She sniffed the air, trying to get Kay's scent, and, with a slightly regretful glance at the stag No, no. Meat is bad, meat is yucky. X-men do not eat their enemies. Chloe padded off to find Kay.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 5:00 pm

She wouldn't be hard to find with the smell of fear coming off of her. She's still cowering, trying to calm herself down. People eat game all the time. Dad went hunting a couple times. I've had some of what they brought back. People eat animals all the time...

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 5:16 pm

Chloe stood in front of the bush, head down, trying not to look like a dinosaur who had just killed and eaten, well, not really eaten, per se, but definately taken a bite, a small bite, out of a deer. The blood might make this look less than convincing.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 5:23 pm

She's not after you. She's still one of us. She wouldn't be standing there waiting. she talks herself into slowly getting up.

"P-please don't eat me too..."

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 5:33 pm

Chloe shook her head 'no'.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 5:49 pm

"Why did you... e-eat that deer?"

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 7:32 pm

Chloe looked down, trying to convey her embarassment.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 7:44 pm

"L-let's just try to find a way out of here."

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 7:48 pm

Chloe nodded, and they continued off into the woods.

by **Narrator** » Mon Nov 26, 2012 9:23 pm

The further they got into the woods, the more they started to see signs of foraging. It was no longer random destruction such as the trails of those who had barreled out of the cages, but it was still something fairly large that had upended a few logs.

by **Kay Haddock** » Mon Nov 26, 2012 9:35 pm

"M-more deer?"

by **Chloe Grant** » Mon Nov 26, 2012 11:14 pm

Chloe didn't reply, but kept walking, swinging her head from side to side, trying to get a scent.

by **Narrator** » Mon Nov 26, 2012 11:19 pm

It didn't smell like deer.

It rather smelled like... bear.

by **Chloe Grant** » Mon Nov 26, 2012 11:46 pm

Oh, bugger. Chloe thought and started to move a bit faster.

by **Narrator** » Tue Nov 27, 2012 3:03 pm

The scent of bear was fairly pervasive. The creature seemed to have staked out a fairly large territory in its foraging.

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Nov 27, 2012 3:05 pm

"Maybe we should go a different way..." she says. She can't really identify the smell, but it makes her nervous.
