Far Cry Thread #1

 "Oh ho ho!!! We got a live one!!!!" Tyler hooted from ahead where he was looking up at the netting that hung from the tree above. Slowly moving along Jacobs eyes drifted up to look, studying what are first glance would have appeared to be a white wolf but he at least knew better and the moment he'd laid eyes on it he'd known better. Still he hadn't said anything, not until the others paw had stepped on and triggered the trap and he'd gone flying up into the air. 

"Mmm that we do.... " He purred a bit smartly from behind Tyler as he moved closer until he was just below Armand. If this one was out here well? He suspected one of the others was nearby at the least which kinda of irritated him. They were fairly far up the mountain in a spot that took a good amount of hiking or you had to take a decent quad to get to. It was steep, remote, it's why he'd chosen to put one of these here. Unlikely to be noticed by anyone BUT animals.

Seeming to be in thought for a moment he moved to gesture at Tyler to step back and held his hand out, taking the bow from the other. "One of the good arrows.... Now" he stated ignoring the look the other was giving him. Why would Jacob want a Bliss laced arrow for a wolf? Bigger than most or not it was an animal right? Well again Tyler didn't know any better and thus he didn't question but still looked a hint confused as he handed an arrow to Jacob and simply watched as the red head strung it into his bow. "Hold still.... I'm just gonna shoot the ropes" He purred up towards the other before he moved to aim up, mostly. Drawing back a good amount he also took a few steps back before suddenly firing. The arrow immediately whizzed through the air and stuck straight through Armand's leg. Not the ropes, not a fatal blow either but enough to hit him with the Bliss poison that coated the arrow. "Àaawww shoot.... I fuckin missed. You ok?" Jacob asked almost looking completely serious as if he hadn't meant to for the briefest of moments. This however was soon followed by a low chuckle as he moved to slowly hand the bow back to Tyler.

 

Armand couldn't believe that he had been stupid enough NOT to see the trap and was now hanging in a net above the red headed male, snarling and snapping as he didn't like this. Not one bit! He didn't like the way Jacob was looking at him either, and it made him snarl all the more when he saw the man take the bow from the other who was with him. Just this once, he wished he had Allya's gift, just to make Jacob pause long enough to try and either reason with him or get away. That Jacob KNEW who Armand was, there was no doubt, as the boy had noticed the instant the look of recognition crossed the man's face. But...why wasn't he helping?

He snarled even more than before when he saw Jacob raise the bow and pointed it at him. Knowing for a fact that he was aiming to low to hit the ropes. 'NO! DON'T!' He shouted internally, only to howl as the arrow went through his leg, as he struggled anew. Hearing Jacob's words, he knew for a fact that the man had meant to, and growled low in his throat, watching as the man handed the bow back to his friend.

Rheagal hadn't been that far away, sniffing out some trails for them to hunt and track some deer, or even an elk. It had been Armand's great idea to go hunting. To 'boost up their feed' as it were. The humans needed meat...what were better hunters than them? So naturally, they went out to get some. But now, hearing Armand's howl of pain, he doubled back, shifting back to human the second he appeared and took everything in. Still hidden in the bushes, he saw everything. Jacob taunting his little brother and then shooting him and pretending it was an accident. It was no accident, and that made Rheagal angry!

"What do you think you are doing!" He said in a firm but anger filled voice as he stepped into view. Already 'calling' for Alfred and Allya if they be nearby. "YOU SHOT HIM!" He cast his eyes to his brother a moment and growled back at Jacob. "cut him loose." It wasn't a question, but a demand.

 

Fuck! The moment Jacob heard Rheagal he tensed a bit his eyes flashing from Armand who he had caught and likely wouldn't be awake for much longer, to Rheagal who had sauntered up shouting. Well at least he only had one issue right? Face remaining hardly phased he simply rose one eyebrow "You know last time I checked.... You're lucky to even still be breathing. So it puzzles me how you could possibly get off on the idea that you..." He pointed all to casually at Rheagal. "HAVE ANY AUTHORITY.... To tell me what to do" He replied in warning. Frankly he almost wished Rheagal would lose it. Give him a reason to shoot the bitch and even better Tyler was already stringing another bliss arrow into the bow. Though no doubt from what he'd seen it might take a few good shots to take this one down.

 

"I might not have the authority, but Alfred and my sister already know what you have done." Rheagal sassed back. Secure in the knowledge when he knew his other sibling and Alfred both had 'heard' him and responded. "How soon do you think they can be here? Or how soon till they find Faith or Joseph or even John? Hmmm?" He didn't attack, knowing better than to do that now. Since being hit with the bliss the first time, he had had time to reflect on a few things and his temper was one of them...at times. He knew, or was learning, when not to fly off the handle, and for right now, he was outnumbered and Armand was out of it and hurt. "Be a shame....my sister seemed to like you too. What would she think if she knew you actually shot him on purpose? It isn't ME you have to worry about, Jacob." Rheagal actually chuckled and nodded, looking over at the ropes and took a few steps back. "Again..Cut. Him. Down....or I will."

 

Jacob looked at Rheagal a bit stone face as if he was bored. "I don't have time for this... If you're solely here to be a little snitch. Than why don't you go do it right? Make sure they know where to find me while you're at it.... Which place has open spots?" Jacob asked directing his attention to Tyler for a moment as he moved to pull his knife from his leg. "Um.... The camp is probably our best bet" Tyler replied casting Jacob a raised eyebrow as the red head moved towards the trap. "there you go.... We'll be at the old Breakthrough camp off the old highway. Now if you'll excuse me.... Little busy" He snarked back at Rheagal before whistling and gesturing to Tyler to go man the rope. He definitely didn't need the other dropping straight to the ground from that height.

Moving to the rope and bow lowered for the moment Tyler began to undo the thick rope meanwhile pulling his radio. "Hey Patrick. You and Boyd better bring the truck down here. We got one to load" he spoke into the radio. He himself was still a bit clueless as to who the wolf was. Especially seeing as he had only heard about a creature at the church and otherwise not seen a damn thing.

Meanwhile knife in one hand Jacob moved closer, just beneath the net. Eyes studying Armand for a moment as if to see how out of it he was. He didn't seem to be moving yet and thus Jacob reached and took ahold of some of the net to steady it as Tyler began to lower it down.

 

They thought to take his brother! Oh hell no! Rheagal eyed Armand, who while looked high as a kite right now, wasn't totally out yet but playing possum. How much of a chance would they have, with Armand being hurt and stoned, but Rheagal couldn't let them hurt his brother. He would have to bide his time though. Once he was out of the net at least before he made his move.

Back in the Center, Allya paused as she heard her brother's call and eyes furrowed. "ALFRED!" She shouted as she rushed out, but first to find John, or Joseph, whoever was closest and around. "I need help!"

Alfred heard Rheagal's call as well and instantly started to head to where he 'heard' the call coming from. It would take him time of course since he didn't shift, but stealing a 4-wheeler, would get him there faster, as he ripped into the surrounding woods.
