Predator or Prey? (closed)

[Kaena]

The sun was warm against Kiara's fur as she walked silently through the jungle. The sounds of the jungle surrounded her, though far from silent, somehow peaceful and serene. She was at one with her surroundings, no threat to the animals around her, just as they were no threat to her.

It was with a troubled mind that she walked through the trees that early morning. Reports had been coming in daily of a rogue hunter that was stalking and killing the animals. For many years, the legends of the cat people had kept the hunters out of her jungle, but, for some reason now at least one had returned and Kiara was intent on finding him before he killed anymore of those she considered under her protection.

Suddenly a flock of birds flew out of the bush, as if pursued by an unseen predator. Kiara stopped in her tracks and crouched down low, her long, black tail swishing silently against the ground. She sniffed the air, almost sneezing at the strange smell that assaulted her nostrils. Human. From the direction of the smell, it seemed that while she was hunting, she was being hunted as well. Growling, she rose to her feet and ran off into the bush, circling back behind the hunter before crouching low to the ground. Her yellow eyes glared from beneath the trees as she gazed upon the form of the man who dared enter her territory.

Shifting to her human form, she reached for a fallen branch that lay close to her hand. Having been in cat form, she did not have her weapons at her disposal, originally planning to stalk and kill the hunter once he had been found. Now, that she had seen him, saw that she could easily take him since she had the element of suprise, her plans had changed. She intended to render him unconscious and take him back to the village and make him face punishment for his crimes.

Eric was not a famed hunter, but he was good enough, he'd tracked and killed beasts ranging from squirrels to big game, moose, carriboo, Grizzly bears and it never phased him, but after a few short years he grew weary of the hunt and had settled down in a small village, in a nice patch of forest, taking to hunting now for food and the occasional sport,

however shortly after moving in to this little town he'd begin to hear storys and whispers of the forest guardians, big cats that were able to take on human form, the protectors and saviors of the forest, and the storys caught his attention instantly, the chance to track decent pray, maybe he would be able to capture and trap one, he could make a name for himself, so early one morning he grabbed up his musket and moved into the woods, setting traps along the way

Eric was only the short young age of 26, just shy of 6ft tall, he was thin but he was in shape, his strength and reaction time was as sharp as ever with the hearing of a cat, or so he said, as he stalked into the woods he was always aware of his surroundings, as his gaze moved up into the trees the birds went silent, some fled, and it set him on guard,

he flicked a match and lit the fuse on his flintlock musket, patting his pistol at his side he crutched down into the bush, and listened, the woods were dead silent, and it had slowly started to un-nerve him

 

[Kaena]

Kiara watched the human as he stepped closer to the bush she crouched behind. Her long black hair cascaded down her back and over her bare ass, hiding her nudity and assisting in camoflauging her from his view. She suppressed a growl at the site of the guns he carried, uncontiously rubbing her cheek against the scar on her shoulder. She had felt before what the weapons were capable of and had no desire to feel their bite again.

Rising to her feet, she stepped suddenly from the bushes and quickly closed the space between them. Before he had a chance to turn, she brought the branch in her hand down hard on the back of his head.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

he looked around, crouching in the brush, looking down he examined a paw print in the grass, his fingers tracing over the contour of it, the print was huge but any standards, what ever had left this print was huge, bigger then most cats he knew of....maybe a new species, that thought caused him to grin, he was gunna capture this thing and was gunna be rich,

as he heard rustling behind him he had no time to react, even as he turned the last thought through his mind "what the hell??? shes naked??" then his world went dark and his body crumpled like a sack of sand to the ground

 

[Kaena]

Kiara smirked at the startled look on the hunter's face as she brought the branch down hard on his head. She stepped back as he crumbled at her feet, an impassive look on her face. Leaning down, she placed her fingers on his neck, checking for a pulse. His pulse beat weakly against her fingers. He was still alive, but, wouldn't be waking up anytime soon.

Kneeling beside him, she untied the rope he had tied to his belt, most likely having planned to use it to drag his prey back to wherever he had come from. Turning him over with her foot, she pulled his hands behind his back and tied them tightly, leaving a length of rope for her to hold onto. Tearing a strip of cloth from his shirt, she tied it around his eyes as a blindfold before moving away from him. Leaning back on her heels, she waited silently for him to wake.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

eric groaned, consumed by darkness he body lay slack as his hands where bound and he was roughly handled, after more then 45 minutes consciousness slowly returned to him, but judging from the throbbing in his head he'd almost think he was in hell


Groaning in pain he tried to move his hands, the fact he was unable to pull his arms free quickly brought him around to full painful consciousness, cursing heavily in pain he rolled over onto his back, his eyes remaining closed against the pain

"is anyone there? i cant seeee, whats going on, "

as he listened he heard breathing and tried to pick up which direction it was coming from but the blow he suffered scrambled his hearing and he couldnt pin point it

"whos there?"

 

[Kaena]

Kiara was silent as she watched Eric come back to consciousness. In the time that he was out, she had removed his gun belt and knives and laid them in a pile at her feet. There was no way that she was going to allow him to retain his weapons, even if he was bound. She could almost feel his pain as he rolled onto his back and groaned, but, she had no sympathy for him. He had dared to trespass in her forest, hunt the animals she swore to protect and was now her captive. She felt no sympathy or mercy towards him at all.

"Who I am is of no concern to you," she said, her voice coming out as a low growl. "Tell me who you are human and what you are doing in my forest." Pulling one of his knives from its sheath, she knelt beside him and grabbed his hair, bearing his neck to the to the cold blade she pressed against the skin.

"Tell me what I want to know," she said softly, pulling his hair. "And I might let you live."

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

"Who I am is of no concern to you,"

behind the blindfold his brows furrow at the femenine voice, by everything holy he'd be ambushed by a female, and it stirred the anger in him, he was the hunter and yet now he was the captive, as the pain began to fade the memory came back to him, just before he was knocked out, a naked women.......a...hot...naked women from the brush

"Tell me who you are human and what you are doing in my forest."

once more his brow furrowed at her use of words,

"considering you refer to me as human that only leaves me to believe the storys are true, which is the only explination i can think of as to how you snuck up on me"

he hissed in pain as his head was yanked back and he felt the razor sharp edge of a knife placed against his head, her grip on his hair causing stars in his vision

"Tell me what I want to know, And I might let you live."



"you keep yanking my hair" he gasps in pain as he feels the darkness once more approaching" and i aint gunna be around long enough for an answer

 

[Kaena]

Kiara hissed in response to his words but let go of his hair, the knife still pressed against his throat. "You don't know anything about what or who I am," she snarled, leaning over to check the wound on his head.

"The wound is superficial, you'll have a headache for awhile but you'll live." She sat back on her heels and looked down at him, shivering from the cool morning air playing along her bare skin. "Now, you can tell me now what you are doing in my forest, or I can take you back to my village. We have ways of making you talk."

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

"You don't know anything about what or who I am,

he smiled in the face of her sudden anger, which meant he hit close to the mark

"perhaps i know more then you think and was out here to bag me a big cat"

of course he had no proof but perhaps if he goaded her enough she would slip and reveal something to him


"The wound is superficial, you'll have a headache for awhile but you'll live. Now, you can tell me now what you are doing in my forest, or I can take you back to my village. We have ways of making you talk.


he laughed at that statement and it made his head throb all the more

"you know how cheesy that sounds, like some third rate badly written play, i doubt there is anything you can do to me to make me reveal my reasons for being here"

he laid back and closed his eyes against the continued throbbing in his head

 

[Kaena]

"Well if you were out here to bag yourself a cat, you have come to the wrong place," Kiara said calmly, hiding the anger in her voice. "I am aware of the stories, but, I have lived in these woods my whole life and I have once to come across a big cat of any kind."

Quietly getting to her feet, she grabbed the front of his sheet and pulled him up off the ground and to his feet, not caring about his head injury anymore. He had gotten her defenses up by first mentioning that he was he was hunting for a big cat and now he had the nerve to insult her.

"Walk," she ordered, pushing him from behind. "You give me no choice but to take you back to my village. I cannot guarantee that you will be leaving there alive."

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

"Well if you were out here to bag yourself a cat, you have come to the wrong place, I am aware of the stories, but, I have lived in these woods my whole life and I have once to come across a big cat of any kind."

he had a feeling that she was lying but right now his head hurt far to much to really care, he needed time to recover and get his bearings back if he was gunna mount some kind of escape from this women,


"Walk, You give me no choice but to take you back to my village. I cannot guarantee that you will be leaving there alive."

"ahhh the usual death threats, " he laughed then flinched from the throbbing

"boy you really havent done this whole hostage thing"

he smirked as he continued to taunt her, but that was only a front, as he was forced to start walking his mind began to work quickly, because if she was what he thought she was, he was in very real danger, and needed to escape and get help

 

[Kaena]

Kiara growled softly at his words as she pushed him along the forest path towards her village. Her instincts were telling her that he was more trouble than he was worth and she contemplated just killing him and sending him back to his village as a warning to the others. But, on the other hand, she was curious to find out more about the man and what made him brave enough to think he could hunt and kill or capture on of her kind.

She watched him closely as they walked, her sensitive ears picking up the nervous beat of his heart and his quick breathing. Though his words were taunting and he continued to smirk as he spoke to her, she knew he was aware of the situation he was in and was afraid of what would happen to him if he didn't find a way to escape before they reached her village.

"Don't even bother contemplating escape," she said, her hand on the back of his neck. "You think I haven't done the whole hostage thing before, and you couldn't be more wrong. Any man who has dared enter my forest and kill those that I protect have either been killed or taken as my slave. I haven't decided yet what I will do with you, but, if I were you, I wouldn't give me a reason to think that you would be better off dead."

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

he walked where he was directed, even though he was blindfolded he tried to create a mental map by how many steps he took where he felt himself turn the smells of the forest but with no luck he couldnt trace anything and so he was forced to play the waiting game as he was guided by this creature

"Don't even bother contemplating escape, You think I haven't done the whole hostage thing before, and you couldn't be more wrong. Any man who has dared enter my forest and kill those that I protect have either been killed or taken as my slave. I haven't decided yet what I will do with you, but, if I were you, I wouldn't give me a reason to think that you would be better off dead."


he frowned deeper as he listened to her, he knew on some level she spoke the truth, and it scared him, would he be killed? maybe used for food? his mind started to unhinge as more then one difference scenario played through his mind. all he could do was pray

[Kaena]

It didn't take long for them to reach the village and they were soon surrounded by her sisters who were both elated and angry that she had brought a man into their midst.

"What's he doing here?" her sister Ava growled, her dark eyes taking in his muscular body with an unbridled hunger. "Outsiders are not allowed. Why have you brought him here." Her voice lowered into a deeper growl as she walked up to Eric and ran her hand through his hair.

"I captured him in the forest," Kiara said, batting away her sister's hand from his hair. "He claims to be hunting a big cat."

"Well he might regret finding what he was looking for," Ava growled, her fingers turning to claws as she grabbed his throat. "What is his purpose, food or a slave?"

"Get your hands off him," Kiara replied, her voice holding a dangerous tone. "I am leader of this pard and he is mine." Ava sighed and removed her hand, Kiara's angry glare reminding her why Kiara was feared in the village.

"As you wish sister," she said, licking her lips nervously. "He is yours, but, I do hope you will share. It has been awhile since we have had a man in our village."

"I haven't decided that I will let him live, let alone let him be passed around among my people," Kiara said, pushing Eric towards a hut in the middle of the village. The others followed close by, but stopped as she stepped inside, pushing Eric ahead of her. "I will give you my sentence on this man in the morning." Dropping the curtain that was used as a door in place, Kiara pushed Eric down onto his knees and remove the blindfold.

"Your fate is in my hands boy," she said quietly, pulling on a deerskin dress to cover her naked body. "If I were you I would be very afraid."

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

He followed the best he could being led along like a puppy on a leash, for now she had the upper hand with him bound as he was he wouldnt stand a chance of making a decent escape, and he mentally kicked himself he couldnt see shit but as they neared the village by the sounds of things he quickly realized that this was a town of females.....he didnt hear a single male voice.........amazons maybe?

"What's he doing here? "Outsiders are not allowed. Why have you brought him here."

he looked to the sound of the pissed of women, he looked to his captor then back as they exchanged words

"I captured him in the forest, He claims to be hunting a big cat."

he looked back to the other voice

"Well he might regret finding what he was looking for, What is his purpose, food or a slave?"

feeling the hand around his throat his face screwed up in anger, he felt the sharp tips of her nails not aware of what they actually were he was about to lash out and kick the bitch

"Get your hands off him, I am leader of this pard and he is mine."

he looked back to her with an annoyed look “yea right bitch I dont belong to anyone” he thought to himself

"As you wish sister, He is yours, but, I do hope you will share. It has been awhile since we have had a man in our village."

with a snort and snide smile “well hell hunny if you want a good fuck ill gladly take you up on the offer, “

"I haven't decided that I will let him live, let alone let him be passed around among my people, I will give you my sentence on this man in the morning."

“aww come on if im gunna die at least I can die with a smile being fucked to death “

he laughed at her as she removed the blindfold, blinking his eyes as they adjusted to the brighter light he shook out his shoulders and cracked his neck with obvious discomfort

"Your fate is in my hands boy, If I were you I would be very afraid."

he just gave her an annoyed look

 

[Kaena]

His laugh was unsettling as she removed his blindfold. It was apparent that he was not taking the situation seriously, his attitude being that of someone who still expected to be able to escape. She growled as he gave her an annoyed look, lashing out to slap him harshly across the face.

"You would do best to learn a little respect boy," she said, her voice waivering a little with her anger. "You may think you still have a chance to escape, but, you have no idea what you are up against."

Taking a wicked looking knife from her belt, she moved behind him and grabbed him by the hair pulling his head back. Her warm breath was a contrast to the cold blade of the knife which she settled against the soft skin of his throat.

"It would be so easy for me to kill you right now," she said, adding a little pressure to the knife. "But where would the fun be in that. I have yet to make you beg to spare you." Taking the knife from his throat, she cut the rope holding his hands and stood up again, watching him warily.

"Get undressed," she ordered, looking down at him in a haughty manner. "You are less likely to try to escape if you are naked."

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

"You would do best to learn a little respect boy, You may think you still have a chance to escape, but, you have no idea what you are up against."

“well if you would just untie me I would salute you, hows that?”

he hissed as she yanked his head back his lips curling back in a snarl he felt the cool feel of metal as he pressed it against her throat, he turned his head slightly so he could glare at her through his peripheral vision, his hands fisting in his binds as his body flexed

"It would be so easy for me to kill you right now, But where would the fun be in that. I have yet to make you beg to spare you."

feeling his hands released his hissed and rolled his wrists as feeling started coming back, turning to the girl he licked his lips

“well then, here, let me show you respect now that my hands are free”

crossing his arm over his chest his over hand came up and he flipped her off

"Get undressed, You are less likely to try to escape if you are naked."

“well damn girl, if you wanted to me naked you could have asked sooner”

he smiled and even danced a little as he slid out of his clothes his eyes narrowing in amusement

 

[Kaena]

To say he was really staring to piss her off was an understatement. Kiara could feel her temper rising as she flipped her off, barely resisting the urge to grab his finger and break it. Perhaps a little pain would teach him respect.

Growling softly, she leaned back against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest as she watched him get undressed. She wondered if it had been a good idea to free his hands but she just shrugged the thought off. He was human after all, there was no way that his strength matched hers.

Her eyes travelled appreciatively over his naked body as his clothes fell to the floor. After having been without a man for so long, his body appealed to her in more ways than one. She had every intention to make use of it once she had taught him some respect. Until then, she would just have enjoy the view so to speak.

"Your annoying drivel is trying my temper,"she growled, pushing away from the wall. "You may not be afraid of me now, but you will be soon." Moving fast enough that he didn't see her coming, she grabbed him by the throat and pushed him against the wall, her angry eyes looking into his as she watched his reaction. Her hand squeezed his throat tightly, slowly cutting of his air. She held her arm steady, a tribute to her strength.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Your annoying drivel is trying my temper, You may not be afraid of me now, but you will be soon."

as soon as he could blink she was in front of him and before he could react he was thrust against the wall with her hand around his throat, but he didnt panic, this wasnt the first hand to hand fight he would be in and wouldnt be his last, she had the jump on him in the woods, but playing field was level in, instantly his hand and arm come down across her elbow with enough force across the main nerve in her arm to cause her temporary loss of feeling and enough to break her hold with a vicious snarl he changed his grip on her arm and kicked her on the inside of her left knee to cause it to collapse.

“FUCK YOU”

as she was thrown off balance he wrenched her arm down and behind her back applying pressure in a reverse armbar pinning her to the floor

 

[Kaena]

Kiara had to admit that he had taken her off guard. She hadn't expected him to move so fast and so found herself face down on the ground, her arm numb and knee throbbing. She cursed silently as he held her there, letting him believe he had the upper hand for the moment as she gathered her senses. She had to admit, she was a little aroused at the feel of his nude body pressing against her.

"That was a big mistake boy," she growled as she twisted her body, throwing him off her into the wall. Getting swiftly to her feet, she grabbed him by the hair and threw him into another wall. Her pulsed raced at the thrill of the fight as she watched him. There was no way he would catch her off guard again, but, she had a feeling he wasn't finished. He would fight to the end if he had to. Crouching low in attack position, her eyes gleamed in the dim light, her muscles tense as she waited for his next move.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

"That was a big mistake boy,"

suddenly her entire body spun around in a move he didnt think possible, as he was thrown off balance himself he felt his hair being yanked he cursed loudly, and he was thrown, hitting the wall his head cracked back against the siding and pain sparked in his eyes, but he shook it off, straightening himself up he shook himself out and grinned, god this bitch was hot, and knew how to fight, the good thing was, he was naked, she wasnt, that allowed him things to grab, to hold, and to use against her, she hand nothing but his hair to grab

“nice, “

*wiping spit from his mouth he looked at her, watching her crouch down and get ready he pushed away from the wall, licking his lips slowly *

“very nice”

raising his hands he made a “come here” gesture

“come to daddy bitch, lets rumble”

 

[Kaena]

Kiara shook her head with a laugh at his come here gesture. He really had no idea what he was up against and still thought he could win. It really was amusing. It was a fight he wanted and it was a fight he would get, even if he had no chance in hell.

Pouncing from her crouched position, she tackled him to the floor, their bodies rolling together as each tried to get the upper hand. Pinning him, she slapped him hard across the face and then pushed herself off him, grabbing his arm and flipping him over her as she did. Rolling to her feet, she shook her hair out of her eyes and grinned at him as she loosened up her muscles.

"It's cute that you think you can actually beat me," she said with a laugh, her eyes ever watchful of his movements. "And even if you could, my sisters would tear you apart if anything happened to me."

As if on queue a knock resounded at the door. "What's going on in there Kiara," Ava's voice resounded through the closed door. "Do you need some help subduing your new pet."

"Go away Ava, I am fine," she replied, moving to start to circle Eric, her claws extending as her eyes began to turn a pale yellow. She could hear her sister's footsteps as she moved away from the cabin and she was once again alone with Eric.

"Your move boy," she said, her body ready for his attack.
