"Mutiny and killing within my own pack without a viable reason may be fun, but it probably wouldn't sit easy with the Alphas," Shad grumbled, pushing past the fea. His head whipped around, fixing her with an empty, white stare. "Are you possessed, she-wolf?" he asked, turning his body to face her. His white eyes gleamed spectrally in the dimmed lighting, giving him quite the ghoulish appearance. Shad could see things that many couldn't because of his unique, iris-less eyes. And he was highly perceptive as well. This she-wolf seemed inwardly conflicted, as if she herself was arguing with a different consciousness. Woundedshadow sniffed the air wafting from her direction, clenching his jaw pensively. He could tell. Shad shifted his paws, loosening the tingling feeling that was nibbling at his paw pads from the snow. The white snow beneath his paw pads was stained red, from the blood caked upon his paws. It was easy to tell this was a beast who brought death and destruction, leaving an apocolyptic trail in his wake. He killed with little regard to life and no regret, brutal and ruthless. Shad paused, flicking his ears forward as another grumble of thunder growled overhead. "You are possessed, aren't you," he said simply, uncaringly. It wasn't that he was curious or concerned. He just wanted confirmation.

Estel pinned him with a cold stare, "Why should I tell you, you heartless flea? Just because you think something is possessing me, doesn't give you the right to accuse me of such things you will never begin to grasp." she spat the words at him coated in acid feelings.
The darkened shadow in her mind seemed to grow with pulsing venom, trying to overtake her completely. Estel's nails dug into the earth as a growl wrenched from her throat, shaking her head as she clenched her eyes shut.
This wasn't the first time that Estel was pushed this much over the edge, almost loosing herself completely to this power inside of her. From trial and error, she learned so called tricks that would put it at bay for awhile. Attempting to kill herself, which would cause the shadow to disappear forever, would stop it for now from trying to take over.
"Fight me." she simply said to the stronger wolf, but nearly didn't get it our fro her thought process was almost shot to h-ell. He would cause her almost instant death, more than enough to keep the shadow at bay. Opening her eyes to look into the iris-less ones of the other, she waited for his attack.

Shad raised a brow, a smirk spreading over his features. "Fight you?" he repeated slowly, as if the taste of those words were tickling his temptation. Unexpectedly, Shad threw back his head an uttered a loud bark of derisive laughter. He turned his ghoulish, white eyes back towards Estel, completely unbothered by the coldness in her glare. "That's a good joke," he chuckled, his laugh sounding more like a grating growl, "I ain't gonna fight you, vixen. You're nothin' but a kitten to me." Shad shook his muzzle once, sending droplets of rain smattering to the ground with a dancing, uneven beat. "To fight me," he growled, "Is a privilege you have not earned. My power is death, if you have not listened. And as you begged me yourself," he paused, making his voice whining and jeering, "'Don't kill me! I'm too young ta die!'" Shad let out another bark of humorless laughter. "Leave me out of your desperate plans," he growled. WoundedShadow suddenly dissipated into a wisp of fog, swirling around Estel mockingly, and solidifying into form again on her other side. "You'd fare well not to mess with me," he warned, his iris-less eyes glistening slimily in the half-light. Another flash of lightning illuminated his freakish form, carved down with scars and horrifying wounds. "I do not do favors for the likes of you," he snarled, stepping back with a sense of finality.

(Well, would you look at this. I'd completely forgotten about this..so when I read it over again...I just said to myself, "What the hell was I thinking of doing?" So to be honest, I haven't a clue where I was hoping to take this. I don't want to kill Estel off, but I do want her to attempt to rid her shadow away by almost death. Gah...well, I'll type a reply then edit this post. Don't fret, Bloodmask, you'll have a reply soon.
Okay, so I'm going to try another tactic.  )
Estel turned and gave him a blank stare, “Isn’t it the point to deal out death when it seems to be asked for?” she asked in an oddly calm voice after all the snarling she has done in the past moments. The she-wolf was getting to the point of cracking and being this calm now was the only tell tale sign of what was to come. She would do something foolish. Something she’d regret when she lay on the ground, broken and battered, but still alive. But she knew this wolf could help her, as oddly as it sounded. He had the power to cause great damage to her, thus attacking the shadow that resided within her. The only reason this may work was because of the fact the shadow showed great interest in the beta standing close to her. Estel took in the gap by taking a steady step towards him, with merely an inch separating their noses, “Wouldn’t you bask in the feeling of an easy kill when it’s so plainly offered for you to try and take?” she asked in a taunting voice. The thunderstorm colored fea braced herself, physically and mentally for what might be coming.

WoundedShadow ground his teeth, turning his head so Estel could not see how much she was tempting him. His milky white eyes gleamed slightly in the uneven lighting, and he subconsciously kneaded the snow with his paws. He peeled back his lips, battling inwardly with the strong desire to turn and leap straight at her, teeth bared. "Yeah..." he replied slowly, warily, "I suppose...I'm a bit like a grim reaper..." Shad angled his muzzle in her direction, but it was difficult to tell where his pupil-less eyes were looking. He kept his face aggravatingly expressionless, seemingly looking off into the distance, searching for a means of restraint. Shad turned back, realizing they were nearly nose-to-nose. He pulled a sickening grin, leaning forward slightly to tauntingly run his tongue over the side of her muzzle, letting it trace down to her neck. He was purely testing her, showing her how easily he could just seize her throat it and rip it from her carcass in less than a second. "You might want to rethink that," he growled, his lips pulled back in a grotesque expression mixed between a leer and a snarl, "Your foolish mouth might lead you to...lose your life." Shad glanced off in the distance, then his white eyes casually flashed a bloody red. A small warbler fell from its perch, leaving a tiny pockmark in the snow where it hit. Shad barely acknowledged it, simply smirking and laughing twistedly under his breath. He knew he could kill lesser animals with practiced ease, even deer were little more than a slight exertion, but he would not be able to kill her straight off. The effects would be torturously painful, yes, but at most he could incapacitate her and then finish her off manually. But he couldn't shake off the nagging craving to send her writhing to the ground for taunting him, simply to teach her a lesson. But that's what she wanted. And Shad hated doing what others wanted. He definitely had a rebellious streak. "Think about it," he found himself saying, "I'll be all too willing to oblige if your mind is made up." He placed emphasis on his words, hinting heavily.

Estel knew she was gaining ground. The distance between him snapping and her death was becoming unnervingly close. The she-wolf didn’t back down. She was fighting her inner demons, she was going to rid herself of the demon, the shadow, that haunted her every moment. And if she had to use this wolf to achieve that goal, she would try it. She didn’t care to die, she didn’t care if the price was her neck to be rid of this shadow.
You foolish low-being…the words were spoken in her head, driving away all the light shed upon her, To think I am as weak as to simply vanish with your near death experience…you are not strong enough to banish me…a haunted growly laugh followed his words, which involuntarily caused a shudder to travel the length of Estel.
While mentally distracted with the demon in her mind, she didn’t jump back quick enough to stop the wolf from tauntingly licking the side of her maw. She stood stock still, teeth clenched tight, “Showing me you skills to kill small creatures does not impress me,” the she-wolf started to walk a circle around the wolf, letting her tail brush his side in her own taunt, though she never took her eyes off of him, “let’s help each other. You still gain the pleasure of torturing someone who is in your eyes, lesser then you.” She said softly as she came to stand nose to nose with him again, a dark twinkle in her eye as a bolt of lightning cracked in the sky followed by a crash of thunder.

A shudder of delight ran along Shad's spine, gliding down like claws tapping against his flesh, as Estel ran her tail along his sides. He turned his head as she circled him, constantly watching her with his filmed white eyes. His upper lip was still lifted to reveal his pointed teeth, but his muscles were becoming increasingly tense, like a toy being wound up and ready to pounce. Shad ran his tongue over his exposed teeth, tasting the rainwater as it ran in rivulets down his muzzle. He was quivering slightly with the exertion of restraint. His ghoulish expression was lit by a sudden flash of lightning, and he barely flinched as a thunderous boom rumbled through the sky. But the sudden noise seemed to shatter his last means of resistance. Before Estel even could draw another breath, he whipped his head towards her. His white eyes flashed a freakish red. He knew he could not kill her, no, but the amount of pain she would be going through was beyond his comprehension.

Estel knew he was about to crack. The taunt idleness of his body betrayed him to tell her. She was ready; she had been ready for the moment for as long as she could remember. He would help her; she had to believe that he could help her where she failed to help herself. The accepted fact that she would lay her life down to this wolf, in hopes of ridding herself of the demon in her mind, did not bother her anymore. And when he whipped his head towards her, she knew this was it, she knew her life was in the balance, weighted against how far he would go. She spoke one last time before he attacked, “Help me.”

"Help me."
Those two words were like fuel to the flames of insanity. She had pushed him this far, and what was coming was her punishment for taunting Dame Death. Shad's white eyes flashed again, seemingly in tune with another crash of lightning. Another flash of red. Every flash of his eyes had the power to kill, but no, not this time. He was a master of death, and he could control when it would be dealt out. These flashes weren't meant to kill. They were meant to torture. WoundedShadow threw back his head, letting out a cackling bark of laughter. This was so fun! He was enjoying himself immensely! "Beg for mercy, beg for me to kill you," he growled, a chilling smile spread across his freakish features. His pink scars glistened, slicked by the rain. He glanced towards her again, his eyes flashing a fearsome blood red again. He could only imagine the waves of slicing, agonizing pain running like shards of glass through her veins. Usually his victims died a quick but rather painful death but this time, no, he was making her feel every inch of agony. Showing her just what she had asked for when she taunted him to his breaking point. WoundedShadow bared his teeth, another flash of lightning scarring the sky like a huge jagged wound.

Estel knew she wouldn’t attack him back and when he eyes flashed red, shards of pure pain shot through her body. The pain was enormous, almost to the point where she thought she’d go insane with it. But it was just the beginning, he was taunting her, asking her to bed for her death. She would no lower herself to beg for death, she would rather die in silence. But her shadow wasn’t going to have any of that.
Fight…attack him! Lash out at him with your anger, fight you foolish being…!the power he had over her was sent in a massive wave, taking control of her muscles, mind, and body. Estel, despite the snarls of pain wracking through her body, leap at the tormenting wolf, teeth and claws bared, searching for purchase in his flank. Her mind was screaming at her body, trying to stop it, but the dark shadow in her mind wouldn’t let up it’s control.

Shad's white eyes gleamed, flashing blood red every time he sent waves of agony lashing through Estel's body. A vicious light was afire in his fiendish gaze, one of a maniac reveling in the pain of a victim. He was particularly interested by the fact that Estel was not only writhing from his inflicted pain, but also seemed to be struggling with an internal battle raging within herself. Death. Death. Death. The brutal assassin kept up his incessant attack, taking great joy in the sport of torture. But then... WoundedShadow was ill put to mask his surprise as Estel forced herself to her paws, still quavering from the pain, and launched herself straight at him. His mind barely had time to realize what was happening before her teeth connected with his flank. He felt the blow and instinctively attempted to dodge, but only succeeded in softening the blow and avoiding the majority of her fangs. As soon as he had recovered from the shock, however, a leering grin spread over his features. What an exciting twist. Shad turned to face her, blood beading along his dark flank from the light flesh wounds where her teeth had grazed his skin. He still wore his arrogant grin, tipping his head to the side. "Come on, I'm sure you can do better than that," he taunted, looking intently towards her through his pupil-less eyes. He could see something different writhing within her, something that those with normal vision were blind to. He nodded to himself. There was definitely something else within this fea.
