Coal loved visiting her friend but found her too clingy so she let herself out for a run. The morning was long gone and mid day was creeping over the horizon and an odd scent had caught her attention. The wolf inside her smelt another wolf, like her but there was something different, something she couldn't quite place. It was new so therefore she had to check it out.
The brush was thick which was funny since she wasn't too far from LA it's self. But this area was protected because it was home to an almost extinct butterfly. Funny how a whole forest can be saved all for just an innocent little butterfly. Seemed a little poetic that a culture that hated her kind would hold their greed over a butterfly. IT didn't make sense.
Of course there were and still are many of her kind who are nothing more then animals and killers. Vampires who bite and kill victim after victim and wolves who'll murder people on camera but then there were some who were like her. Who didn't want to harm anyone. Who wanted nothing more then the rights that she should have.
She stopped and shook her head as if to clean her senses for the scent she found so interesting. After catching it again she continued to sniff for the other wolf.
She probably would never find that wolf since the tracks were at least a day old but that didn't stop her.

Emerging from the shed, Fenix could sense the nearby wereanimal. However, due to the fact that his sensory ability had been new-found, he could not home in to where the creature was. It smelt odd though, this he could tell.
He looked around at the compound, the entire area was greyed out due to the effect of the sensory ability he had activated. There were light blue stains not too far outside the compound, heading away, into the forest nearby.
Fenix felt his side for his pistol, and the new-found whip nearby it, before he headed to the front gate, pulling the key he had yet to use out of his pocket on his other hip.

Coal heard something and froze, looking around. After a moment of seeing nothing she continued trying to find this other wolf. She could smell feint traces and they were everywhere. Whoever this wolf was he certainly liked this area.

Fenix used the key in the padlock that was attached to the gate, and, unsuprisingly, it fit and worked. He pulled the chain off the gate and opened it just enough to walk out, re-attaching the chain and padlock after he had done so, and shoving the key back into his pocket.
He looked around, sensing a faint sense of something else nearby, though it hadn't been here yet, and it was hard to tell where this other being was. For now, Fenix decided to follow the trail he could see and walked along the outside of the compound, heading toward the trees.

There wasn't much to follow so she decided to chase a butterfly. It was nice and peaceful out here away from the city. She could think, play and run freely with out worrying about a dog catcher trying to chase her down. The butterfly waved one way and she jumped forward pretending to bite at it before running off and chasing an imaginary target.

Fenix walked into the trees, slowly and as quietly as possible, though it was hard with the random twigs and leaves covering the majority of the ground he stepped on.
He crept in, through the trees, following the trail of light blue that he saw against the grey, although other colours also seemed evident, he found it was getting easier to concentrate on the one that he was following, and remove the others from thought. At times he got distracted, and had to stop, and concentrate again on the light blue before continuing, but as he progressed, he found that this occurred less and less frequently.

If she was in her human form she probably would be grinning right now as she stood proudly, tail erect as she looked around before darting off, then darting the other way and then jumping off a log and into the air. She landed with a grace that she certainly didn't possess in her human form.
She then darted again and chased another imaginary target.

As the trail got stronger, Fenix could hear something close-by: Breathing, was his first guess, but he couldn't be sure.
He reached down for the pistol and held his hand against it, ready to pull it out if need be, and crept towards the noise.
He approached a large shrub-like plant, that concealed whatever was beyond. The blue trail clearly lead through it and the breathing he could hear came from beyond.
Fenix ducked down a little bit more and slowly moved toward the shrub, and reached out to move some of the smaller branches out of the way, in order to be able to see, and perhaps pass, through.

She then caught a wiff of something. The scent! The one she was following earlier. Except this one was not a day or two old. This was not too long ago. With renewed vigor she chased after the scent, tongue hanging out as she ran. Another were. But something about his scent bugged her.

Fenix placed his hand against the shrub and began moving a bit of it aside, before the breathing he heard behind it suddenly got louder, and a wolf leapt out from behind the shrub, knocking him over in the process, and galloped away from him.
Fenix fell back and hit the ground, quickly rolling over to get back up again and feeling the back of his head as he pulled out whatever it was that his hand was touching, in a daze, believing it was his pistol, and began after the creature. He could worry about possible concussions later, for now, he had a beast to catch.
He leapt over the roots of the tree closest to him in pursuit of the animal and gripped, what he now realised was, the whip and extended it. It lashed out towards the wolf, who was quickly putting distance between itself and him.
The long, metal tether reached out and struck the ground, missing the wolf by a long shot.
"Useless piece of crap!" Fenix yellow, tossing the thing aside and reaching for his pistol, pulling it out, and continuing after the wolf, hoping he would somehow find an opportunity to shoot the thing.

Her pace quickened when she heard the brush snap and then the growl. She could tell she was a little bit away but she could catch up. The wolf wasn't too far away. Thankfully the brush wasn't thick like it was in other parts of the woods.
As she lept over a log she caught the scent of a human. A hunter?

Fenix ran through the forest, following the wolf, who he could only get glimpses of, every now and then. The wolf moved quickly, changing directions, leaping of different obstacles, Fenix wasn't sure how much longer he could keep up for. Up ahead, the bush became less dense, and the wolf seemed to head directly for it.
It leapt out of the bush, toward something that seemed to be coming in the opposite direction, though not at such a high speed, and certainly seemed less threatening. Just as the wolf was nearing the other being, Fenix found his chance and so he slowed down and took his shot, firing the pistol at the wolf he was chasing.
The shot met its mark and the wolf collapsed in a heap, rolling for a short while due to the momentum it had previously, before coming to a stop.
Fenix slowed to a stop and breathed heavily for a moment, looking up at the creature he had just shot, and the other, what now was apparent to him as a wolf, that was heading toward it.

Her eyes grew wide. The hunter shot it! Not another like her. Then as she got closer her wolf realized what the scent was. Sickness. Her pace slowed as she approached. She kept her distance, not trusting the guy wouldn't turn the gun on her but also to keep an eye on the wolf that was in front of her.
Part of her regretted having come out here for a run now. Her stomach turned at the smell that had become even more powerful from the blood. This wolf was very sick and the wolf in her wanted to wrap it's jaws over it's scull and crush it.

Fenix looked at the other wolf. It, too, had a similar light blue aura around it. Although, this one seemed, somehow, right. He wasn't sure what that meant, but his best guess was that there was something that was wrong with the creature he had just shot, but whatever it was, this other wolf was not sufferring from the same ailment.
Fenix lowered his gun, pointing it to the ground, and slowly approached. These weren't ordinary wolves, this, at least, was obvious. He had encountered a similar creature back in the UK, though only very minimally - a glance, if that.

Well, he wasn't going to shot her, that was a good sign. She kept her eyes on the wolf though. He was collapsed but that didn't mean much. She spared a quick glance at him and took a step back as she eyed the wolf. He was breathing heavily, back towards her.
She took another step back and accidentally snapped a twig. Within that same second the other wolf lept up. It seemed to waver slightly before staring at the hunter. Then the wolf dashed in Coal's direction, causing her to take off.
'How dare this beast chase me!' he wolf growled.
