[OOC: Sorry if I shouldn't post this heere. You can move it if need be. Oh & the wolves in my post are regular wolves. I hope this post is long enough. Because I know some sites are strict on post lenght, I try & stay off those, because I have writes' block a lot & can't come up with a page long post on the spur of the moment, sometimes I barely have time for one paragraph.]
BIC:
Hooves pound along the hard ground, as a horse & rider, makes their way up the rocky moonlit peak. A shrill whinny fills the air, & the horse comes to sliding halt, ears pricked forwards & nostrils flared. The dark stallion turns his head, his eyes searching everywhere. Something had stopped him, but, what? "What is it boy" his rider asked. The stallion snorted & pawed the ground. The rider dug her heels into the stallion's sides & he exploded with fury. His hooves dug, hard into the ground, as they raced up the narrow path. The horse's hooves slipping on loose rocks, with every stride. "Come on?! We've gotta get up there if I'm gonna get any good photos, of wolves in the moonlight?!" the rider said, annoyed at the horse for stopping earlier, she didn't know the horse had stopped because it was scared. He was scared of the long fall off the rocky ledge, if he should make a wrong step, & of what he had smalled, Werewolves & Vampires.
Finally, after a long battle, they reached the top. The horse's nostrils flared, & eyes widened in fear, the scents seemed stronger now. He reared & dumped the rider, off his back, turned then bolted back down the rocky path. "Come back here?! How am I supposed to get down from here without you?!" she yelled after the horse, as he disappeared out of sight. She shook her head, sighed, & dug out her camera. Luckily it was a full moon tonight, & it lit the mountain top up, with it's eerie, yet beautiful glow. She turned the camera on, & started off into the woods, to find some wolves to photograph. Her camera wasn't an expensive one, but, it did take great photos. She walked along until she finally found some wolf tracks, then followed them, until they stopped in a clearing. She stayed hidden, down wind, of the small pack as they played in the moonlight. Pups bounded after one another, while the adults lay resting, save two look outs that stood watch from a high rock. She snapped a few shots of the pups, the guards, & the others, & moved closer inch by inch. Until one of the guards gave a yip, short howl, & a low growl. Then the clan took off out of sight. Something had scared them away. She was sure she'd made sure to stay down wind, so what could it'd've been?

Willow had been resting in the hollow of a dying tree near the mountain top, and risen late that night. It had been two days since she'd held a blade to Samael's throat and made a deal that could just as easily be her doom as well as her help. The rebellion leader broke into a steady trot, and then suddenly caught a sharp, musty scent; Horse. More curious than alarmed, the wolf-beast sprinted towards the path. The creature was dancing nervously, having already caught her scent, and the rider, who didn't appear to have the best control of her mount, was talking irritably with him. After a while, the girl reached the top and sighed, raising her camera for the woods. The stallion pawed at the ground, and then suddenly, whirled about and cantered down the mountain side. More amused than anything, Willow watched the frustrated stranger stalk to the woods.
Keeping her distance, Willow made for a nearby creek and lapped at the cool water, then decided to follow her find again. She was snapping picture after picture of a band of wolves that inhabitated the area of forest known to local's as 'Angel's Peak'. Willow eyed the pack fondly, for they were close to her bloodline, but suddenly the alpha caughter her sent and the whole group disappeared into the forest.
Annoyed, Willow stretched her muscles, unaware how well out of the trees she stood. A beat later, the girl turned her head to find the source of the wolf's alarm, and her eyes landed on Willow. The lycan went rigid, and her eyes flashed. Well, this hadn't been on the agenda.
What do you do now, Willow? she asked herself, sinking onto all fours. There was no way anyone could mistake her for anything other than a werewolf, even a tourist from the city who was as ignorant of the nearby vampyre estate as she was of Willow's earlier stalking.

[OOC: Sorry my reply isn't as long as my intro. was. I can't really think of anything just yet. Stupid writers' block! >_<]
BIC: Mel watched, in amazement & fear as the werewolf appeared before her. She stood in silence, watching & waiting to see what the lycan was going to do. If she looked as though she was going to attack, then Mel was all set to run, because she was no fighter that was for sure. She slowly lowered the camera, & started walking backwards, keeping her gaze fixed on the lycan. "Hello?...I'm sorry if I'm intrudin' on your grounds, or anything. I don't mean any harm! I'm only here to photograph wolves an' other wildlife, for art projects!" she said, then backed over a out grown tree root & fell to the ground. She wasn't looking back, no paying attention to where she was walking. "ooof!" she said, as she hit the ground.

Willow, feeling mildly amused and less anxious, raised up to her full height, eyes gleaming. Then, the air around her rippling, she became her human shape. Her dark hair fell in slightly wavy tresses around her face, and her eyes lost their gleaming silver quality, become a light blue.
"You're not intruding, it was more like I was," Willow replied. "I followed you up the hill. Photography is a strange profession in these dark times. And if you meant any harm, you'd already be dead," the lycan added briskly and seriously, brushing her hair from her face. With a light sigh, she stretched, popping her back, and leaned back against a large tree to watch the human closer.

Mel sat up, turned her camera off, & returned it to it's case. "Yes, I admit not many are into photography now. Out of fear for their lives. I know people've said that werewolves an' other were-creatures exist, but, I never believed them until now. I know there has been proof of the vampires' existence, even though I've not run into any myself. Thankfully." Mel said, as she returned the camera case to her bag. "I love animals, an' photographin' 'em is kinda a hobby of mine. Wolves an' horses are my main favorites though." she added, with a smile. "The horse I was ridin' was a rental, an' they never fit you with the right horse. You don't happen to know which way he went, after leavin' here do you?" she asked, as she gave the path a glance. "Would you answer one thing for me? What's it like bein' a wolf? If I could be an animal I'd be a wolf or a horse, an' I know bein' a horse is just not possible, but, bein' a wolf is know that I know werewolves exist." she added, returning her gaze to the girl.

ooc- Sorry, here I am. 
bic- "Yes, I can take you to him. If he'll let me get close to him," Willow added, turning away. It took her a moment to return to the half-human, half-beast shape, and dropped awkwardly down on all fours. "Follow me."
She broke into a brisk walk, loping easily across the rocky mountain terra, her paws making no noise on the leaf-laden ground. Her eyes gleamed silvery blue in the dim light of the stars, and her silver pelt glowed almost white.
"What's your name?" Willow asked over her shoulder, ears flat on her skull and her eyes shining with curiosity. Her tail swished slowly, her legs bended strangely, not quite like a wolf but close.

OOC: That's alright I've had a wild weird week last week anyhow, family issues & other stuff. -_- Sorry for the short post I couldn't think of much to write.
BIC: Mel follow, until they found the horse. "My name's Melanie Darkrayn, but, most call me Mel." she answered, before slowly going over to the horse. She grabbed the reins, & tethered the horse to a tree, so he couldn't run off. "You never answered my question about what's it like bein' a wolf?" Mel then asked, as she made her way, back over to the werewolf. She then went back to the horse & started placing her things into the saddle bags. "I probably should return this horse before anything else happens. Is there any place in town we can meet & talk more about wolves & werewolves?" she asked, as she untied the horse, climbed in the saddle, then headed him towards the Lycan.

ooc- Sorry it took eight eons. Here it is!
bic-
Willow looked over her shoulder as Mel grabbed at the horse's reins, looking nervous. "Wolves....It's....like being alive," she said, unable to think of a better reply and hoping Melanie would understand. "I'll come find you sometime, yes. And if you have more questiosn, I'll try to answer them. It's hard, you know? It's like you trying to tell me what its like being human. You could try sometime, because I certainly can't remember."
The lycaness shrugged and flicked one ear before calling over her shoulder, "I'm Willow, by the way. I'll walk with you to the edge of the mountain, but then you're on your own." She broke into a lope, allowing the horse to trail a few yards behind and keep it's nerve level down. Soon, the rocks thinned and the trees thickened, until they were in the forest. There, Willow slowed to a walk, then stopped completely, standing under an ancient oak. "The path's just up ahead. Be careful. Not everyone in here is as friendly as I am..." She thought of Samael, then dismissed it. Mel was human after all.
