Black & White, Scourge & Moon (Scourge, Moon)

[dragontamer1]

Scourge padded through the city. The night air was fresh and brisk on his black fur. He steered his white paws around a mud puddle. He wanted to be looking his best tonight. His collar had been cleaned, all the teeth polished to a shining brightness. His blue eyes, somewhere between the shades of sky and water, searched around for the sidestreet he was to take. He was off to see his beautiful mate, Moon, on the old roof garden on the top of a abandoned warehouse. Not very romantic, but Sorrid City has very few romantic places. This is the best I can do. He spotted the side street and walked down it. His paws made barely a sound as he approached the fire escape that led to the building top. He climbed up it, his small size making it easy for him to navigate around various random items strewn across the stair. He crested the top, feeling the night breeze cool his face. He walked to the edge of the roof, in the middle of the garden, careful not to tread on any plants. He had been caring for this garden for a few days now, to rejuvinate the wilted plants. His efforts had rewarded him with a small but pretty garden. He sat down to wait.

Yes. I am proud to say Scourge is my mate. As he is too. I never really thought I would have a mate. I always thought that I would be alone forever, but maybe not. Moon had thoughts of many things. She just hoped not all of them would come true. She never knew that a mate could be so enjoying. She was heading to the garden to see her mate. Her tail was fluffy as usual. Her green eyes almost glowed in the night. She looked beautiful as usual. She never noticed a change in her looks. She had always been this way.

"Hopefully this will go well. I am a bit nervous."

She spoke to a bird, who flew by herside. The bird just flew away. Look at her. Talking to a bird. Moon was getting really desperate for attention now. She chuckled a bit. Oh. It's just Scourge. What could go wrong? She padded through the city streets. The smell of the flowers filled her nose. She liked it. That is how she knew she was close. She kept padding along. Then she saw a human. She stopped walking and stared. Then the human put his arm around a human girl. The girl sighed and said, "Isn't this night just perfect for us?"

"Perfect for them? What did she mean? Maybe it was just a slogan or something.."

Moon kept walking by and she pushed off of her feet and jumped into the air. She could jump high, being a skilled fighter. She landed on the edge of the garden. She then saw Scourge. A smile crept across her face. She slowly padded towards him.

"Scourge."

The wind whispered softly, bringing scents of the night to Scourge's nose. The night was his favorite time. The darkness he blended into, the shadows that whisped around his white paws, and the way his eyes lit up the dark, revealing a world parallel to Earth, a world of shadows. Yes, night was a magical time indeed. "Hullo Moon." he turned around and approached his beautiful mate. Her fur shown like the sky bound body that sent a faint glow down to Earth. His eyes looked deep into hers, blue into green. "Was the trip here uneventful?" he asked, cocking his head ever so slightly. "My trip was a quiet one. Everybody seems to be in their beds." a owl hooted in the distance. "Exccept him. He's still up." he smiled at her. She was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen, with the light of the moon in her fur and the light of the stars in her bright green eyes.

[AshWolf]

Moon looked at her mate with curious eyes. What does he mean? Uneventful? It was a quiet walk indeed. She atleast saw two humans. They seemed as if they were in love. Like Scourge and her were. They were happy too. Moon looked at Scourge again and just gave a nod.

"Yes the trip was 'uneventful'. I only saw two people up this late."

She watched the sky. All the stars were shining bright tonight, but the one thing that amazed her was the moon. She had always been fasinated with the moon. It was her name after all. She looked at Scouuge, as he spoke. He spoke of everyone being asleep. All except us. It was the perfect time of night for them to talk.

"Yes. It is a lovely night and so quiet. The garden suites the mood too."

Her ears perked up to a hoot from a owl. Oh. A owl. Well they are nocturnal. They should be up. She gazed at the flowers around them. So beautiful. She then remembered that she had come up here for a certain reason. She looked at Scourge and got closer to him.

"So Scourge, what are we up here for? To talk? Or to just enjoy the night.. I must know."

She didn't want to seem pushy, but it did her mind afew times.

Scourge was glad the night was silent. The city was so busy, so full, during the day. At night, the city rested, like a massive organism rebuilding energy for the next busy day. The two humans Moon saw were the norm, just like them. Night was the only time you could be alone, in silence, or with a special other. "I'm glad you like the garden, Moon." he said. "it took quite alot of work to rebuild it. Nobody's cared for it for years." he had managed to get a few hardy bushes back into regrowth, and had gotten a pot of young flowers from a store that added a touch of color to the old garden. He, with the help of his brother Stoner, had pulled out each and every last weed from the beds. A few buds remained of surviving flowers. He looked back at Moon. "A little of both, I guess. The night is too beautiful to waste."

[AshWolf]

Moon gave a nod, making a 'mm-hm'. She never thought that Scourge would revive anything quite frankly. It wasn't a insult, but knowing how he used to be, it just wouldn't happen. She looked around her. The flowers were amazingly growing. So it had to happen. Scourge must have a nicer side to things.

"Well it's just beautiful babe. Nice job. Where is Stoner? At work?"

Moon looked at Scourge. This was indeed a beautiful night. No time to waste it. Not like anyone else would. She remembered what the humans talked about. It was romantic what Scourge did, but maybe a nice stroll would have seficed. He didn't have to prepare all of this. Moon wasn't that important. She looked at the sky.

"So..what did you want to talk about? Hm?"

She wanted to get that out of the way before anything else popped into her mind. She had alot to tell Scourge. About the recent fights she has been in. If he had seen Zaheth or Arumi and Bone. If there were any new wolves in the city. What was going on between the pack of the south and the pack of the north? She had so many questions, but she had not answered them for herself.

Then it hit her. Pups. They were mated, did he want to have pups with her? It would be the right thing to do, but Now? Maybe that's why she was called up here. She got a bit nervous. Or is about the lack of sex? Moon never took those things in. She was trying to be a good mate. She was. Maybe it was because she was never around to see him. Moon sighed a bit. Then she looked at Scourge.

Scourge looked around at the garden. "hehe. Thanks. Stoner? In guessing the idiot's off somewhere selling drugs." he rolled his blue eyes to the heavens. "stars know why he does it. Never smoked a single cigarette in his life and probably never will, but takes passion in the ten thousand ways he sneaks illegal drugs around the city. I must admit," he said grudgingly," that he is making quite a good amount of money off it. Either that, or he's out at a bar and is gonna come stumbling in at three in the morning looking like he got hit by a truck." his thoughts wandered off for a moment, brought back by Moon's voice. "well....i wanted to talk about....Pups." he went silent, feeling slightly embarrassed. It was a touchy subject, he knew, and the last thing he wanted was to anger Moon and ruin this perfectly romantic night. how Stoner would laugh....
