				After the world had ended for a while the humans had lived in small villages or cities gathering around whatever company or resources they had without any real rule. Then out of the ashes rose a very charismatic leader who started something with backing of many of the other people, simply called the new Order. The new Order quickly took reign of several cities and small villages. He tried to pull the Reds into his political agenda to, but the reds always refused. It was there job to protect the people, not get involved in politics. The new order soon grew restless with what he had and wanted to push expansive outwards past the forest. The reds advised against this. The forest was the werewolves home. <br>Still he sent scout after scout out there, and none ever came back. He pleaded with the Reds, and after much deliberation It was decided that the Reds would&nbsp; do something. Else the fool would keep sending people and people would keep going to their deaths. <br><br>The reds would go out to the forest and see if they could recover any information about what happened to his scouts. It was to be a mission of stealth, a recovery mission, they were not going to engage the wolves unless they had to. This was the wolves home, and they did not have the power to fight a whole pack on their home turf. If a wolf was spotted however and was hostile, the order still stands to kill. <br><br>They split up into small groups to cover more ground. Each had a small device they could use to contact each other over small distances, as long as they didn't wonder to faraway. They could call in for help, or notify the rest of the team if they found what they were looking for. <br><br>Sapphire was to lead this group. She had been raised up in the Red team, and had more deaths under her belt then most of the others accompanying her today. She meet the rest of her team out in front of the forest, and assigned them all paths to take,&nbsp; “ I'm going to call in to check on you, so keep communications open. Be quite, be desecrate and after a couple of hours I want you to meet back at this spot. If we haven't found anything by then were calling it off for the day, I will not put my team in unnecessary danger.” She looked the team over with her one dark blue eye. Her other had been taken from her in battle long ago.&nbsp; “ now move out.”

				Marissa shivered a little, this was her first hunt and she wasn't sure she was ready to join a hunt but it was to late now. At least she had some of the others with her, she could follow their orders and instructions. Her hand held onto the butt of her crossbow, ready to draw it quickly. A dozen or so arrows were in her quiver, also ready to draw.<br><br>She moved as silently as she could, keeping up with the others.

				Alexander strolled behind the others his hands in the pockets of his coat, seemingly casual but the right one held the helt of one of his throwing knives.&nbsp; He was not completely agreeable to this hunt but no one seemed to be.&nbsp; They were putting htemselves in uneeded danger, but since Sapphire had concented the whole team was drawn into the hunt.&nbsp; So was the downside of working in a team.<br><br>His ice blue eyes scanned the dark pathways that the leader had outlined.&nbsp; It seemed an even worse idea to split up, they would surely be outnumbered by the pack if they were to encounter them, and their only chance really was in numbers.&nbsp; But again he followed these orders.&nbsp; "We should probably head out?" he said in his cool tenor voice asking Sapphire, making sure they were cleared to head off into the recesses of the forest.

				Sapphire looked at Alexander. She could tell that he wasn't exactly thrilled to be out here. No one wanted to go out into this woods. Still this missing people could be alive, and it was there job to go find them, no matter how stupid it was. She had everyone split up in hopes of not being detected, but the paths were close enough that they should be able to get back to help the others if any trouble did arise. She then turned her attention to Marissa the newest recruit in their team. <br><br>" yes head out, but Alexander take Marissa with you. Shes new, she'll need someone to watch her back."

				Hearing Sapphire's orders, Marissa nodded and sighed with relief. She was glad that she wasn't going to be "thrown to the wolves" so to speak. <br><br>Turning to Alexander, she spoke up, "Sorry that you're stuck with the new recruit but I'll try to not let you down."

				Laying on the ground by some trees about fifty yards away from Sapphire's group was Dimitri. He was out that day looking for the wolf he'd been searching for for the past few years. He watched the Reds' carefully as they began to break off. "They'd probably have a better chance if they stayed together. At least then they could see the wolves instead of being caught off guard." he said to himself. He turned his attention away from the Reds' and back to the area in front of him. Normally people would probably use binoculars or something to help their vision but it would limit their sight and Dimitri needed to see as much as possible. Hunting wolves by himself had taught him a few things, the most important being that wolves aren't stupid. So to cover flanks he set up a small web of weak twigs and branches all around his blind spots and buried them under a light blanket of snow. This way he could watch in front of him and hear anyone or anything trying to sneak up on him. He had a good feeling about today, today would be the day he would find and kill the wolf that killed his parents those many years ago.

				Holly Stokes waited for the other agents to step a safe distance away before removing her medical face mask. Lycanthropy wasn't spread via breath as in airborne strains of virus, instead relying on blood and saliva to transfer between vectors. However, she felt better for the additional precaution. It was a rule after all. <br><br>Admittedly her rules were of her own devising, but then that was why she adhered to them so stringently. Able to breathe normally again, she inhaled deeply, her breath steaming past her lips as she began tying up her equipment. Assuring herself that nothing was loose or could be snagged, she wound her hair around her neck, fastening it with a hair-cuff to keep it out of the way. She felt naked on this particular mission, given that her particular area of expertise was messenger service. <br><br>She had brought her bag with a couple extra rations to try and compensate for the lack of a package. It made her feel slightly more at ease, though she was less keen on risking her life to save a spam sandwich from the clutches of the wolves than anything from Red HQ. Habitually tugging at her teal latex gloves, she sniffed curiously at the air, picking up on the scent of someone who wasn't with the Red team. <br><br>Glancing in the direction of Dimitri, she couldn't see through his camouflage readily. The scent was human enough though, and little cause for concern. She wasn't looking for a fight after all. Holly had removed her red scarf, not terribly keen on showing her team pride at the cost of being sighted. The Red forces were spaced thinly for this operation, and while this sort of tactic made sense for combing the forest with their limited manpower, it would present an issue for the unlucky one who stumbled on a wolf.<br><br>Worse still... the wind was unpredictable. Despite the fact it had been hammered into them throughout training, it was difficult to understand just how much the ferals gleaned from sense of smell. Humans were ill equipped to relate to this. Holly knew how quickly a gust in the wrong direction could give away their presence.

				Alexander nodded once then turned his attentions to Marissa.&nbsp; "I don't mind, I am sure you won't be a burden." he said in a quieter tone.&nbsp; He didn't know what to think of Marissa, but then again he hadn't known her long.&nbsp; He knew her mother's reputation, of course, but he hadn't seen signs of Marissa having inherited those genes.&nbsp; She seemed a little jumpy, that could be dangerous, but she also seemed cautious, something that he valued in individuals.&nbsp; As far as partners go, he was content, better to have someone willing to hang back rather than someone burgeoning to charge in, that is what gets you killed out here.<br><br>"Come on then." he said motioning to the path with another nod of his head.&nbsp; He wasn't about to lead the way, so he walked abreast with Marissa, he didn't expect her to take kindly to going fist, but he didn't want his retreat blocked.&nbsp; "You shouldn't be nervous." he said once they were a little ways down the path.&nbsp; "If you are nervous it will cloud your judgement, you should be aware and alert, but not nervous." his voice was slow and hopefully reassuring, speaking from a perspective of wisdom.

				Marissa listened to Alexander, moving up next to him so they had their flanks covered. Hearing what he said to her, some of her fears and nerves settled, helping her overcome her anxiety about being on a hunt for the first time. "Thank you," she whispered before she fell silent because wolves can hear sounds a lot better then humans.<br><br>She moved with him, keeping watch around her, looking forward, to the side, and behind her.<br>

				Sapphire watched as the rest of the team took off into the forest. Keeping a hand on her own weapon, she moved down another path. She kept her eyes open for any tracks in the snow human or otherwise that could give her a clue to where she should search. She stayed alert , her eyes darted around the forest ready to jump into action if any a shadow seemed out of place.&nbsp; She had to be careful, very careful.&nbsp; This mission troubled her, it seemed like it could quickly end her team if she wasn't careful.<br><br>&nbsp;She pushed the bad thoughts aside, pushed everything aside. Her mind was break, her breathing was short and quite almost non existent. She paused and listened to the direction of the wind. Luckily it wasn't blowing on them. All she need was the wolves to catch a whiff of some fresh meat. She too small steps further into the forest.

				He kept turning his attention back to the Reds' at random intervals. He watched and took a rough guess as to their pattern and figured they'd be in his line of sight soon. He then turned his attention back to the forest and saw movement of what might be the shadow of a wolf off in the distance. Seeing the movement and bringing in the fact that the Red's would block his view if not find him soon he decided it was time to move. Before he moved his judged the wind and determined that he was downwind from the movement. He slowly began to crawl backwards until he came to his rear security. He slowly began to wipe away the layer of snow and carefully moved the twigs and branches and put them into a pile. Once he was sure it was safe to move he left his spot and kept to the trees and slowly made his way behind the Reds' so they wouldn't spot him and in case any wolves were trying to sneak up on them.

				James handed the corpse to one of his Betas. It was thoroughly violated and had his trademark "J" on its back. He licked one of his claws clean of blood and smiled. She had been fun to catch...and even more fun once she was captured. Another wolf came up to him and whispered into his ear.<br><br>James' golden eyes danced with amusement, a Red hunting party was coming into his forest. He licked his chops as he rose. The large wolf stalked into the forest..<br><br>In minutes, James was close enough to scent them. He started to drool when he caught one particular scent: Sapphire! He glared into the shadows as he pondered whether he wanted to try and stalk her. He'd only scented and seen her before, never engaged. The only times he'd encountered her even that close was when he was still a new wolf. Now...maybe he could take her.<br><br>He shook his head. Only if he crossed her path. He smelled younger, tender flesh that he would enjoy rending.

				It had been a little over two years since she had lost her beloved, Aaron. This dark night was full of promise that she'd find the wolf that killed him, and she would surely avenge his death this time. Still covered in some fresh wounds from an attack a fortnight ago, she carefully climbed one of the trees that she had set up as a shelter so she could see out to the ground, but no one could see into. Unless they were the ones that helped to build it. Most of the shelters in these trees were made by her Aaron, and were one of the few things she had left of him.<br><br>Jolene's heart knew that he wasn't dead like the Red had told her. She didn't know how she knew this, she just figured it had to have something to do with how close they had been before he disappeared. She constantly wore the necklace that matched his as a reminder of him always being there for her and with her.<br><br>As she looked out the shelter of the Dark Willow she was currently in, she could see some of the Red were in a hunting party and had just split from the group. <em>What the hell are they thinking leaving the group? If they stay together, they have a better chance of living! No wonder those fools lost my Aaron!</em> Jo was discusted at what she saw. No doubt this was all Sapphire's plan to have them go out in small groups because she didn't want to play babysitter to any of the new recruits! Little did she know that from where she was posted she could also see the wolf that was stalking her. <em>Goodbye and good riddance</em> she thought as she looked to see if any wolves were close to her to kill. She stayed in her perch not seeing anything, and just waited patiently for her chance to attack when one lone wolf got left behind.

				Dimitri checked his surroundings and made sure the Reds' stayed in front of him. He focused his sight of where he saw the movement from his last position but didn't see anything. "Oh shit." he said to himself as he felt a soft breeze against the side of his face. He knew the breeze would carry his scent and make him an easy target. He slung his rifle over his shoulder and quickly climbed the tree he was next to and perched himself on a branch. He carefully drew his short sword and aimed directly below him. If a wolf caught his scent it would lead them back here and with any luck he might be able to get the drop on them. As he waited he breathed slowly in through his nose and out his mouth. "If I'm lucky at all, a wolf won't smell me and I can continue my hunt uninterrupted." he said quietly to himself.
