Amata was determined, alright? She wasn’t about to let some quilled weasel get the better of her, even if that meant going further out to hunt different things - and today, instead of a quilled weasel, Amata was doing her best to track and hunt down something more plump.

This one resembled that of a bear cub, but also not really - it had a tail and a longer face. It was the Tailed, Long Faced Bear. Yes, that’s what it was, and Amata was going to slay it. She investigated further, didn’t see anything threatening, and once she was convinced that she could do the job -

She went for it, and froze when it turned to face her, - oh gods, it was so ugly - and screamed at her. Oh. Oh, this wasn’t good. So, Amata screamed back but that didn’t seem to help, it ran right towards her, and Amata yelped in surprise, turning tail and running - right into a portal (that she didn’t see) -

There was a flash of light and a sound she’d never heard before and suddenly, her paws hitting the sand, Amata came to a stop and suddenly, there was squealing behind her. Whaa? Turning to look, the damn thing had followed her.

Oh.

Oh, this wasn’t good.

In a similar fashion to how it had been since he had realized that he like her, Levi was never far behind when Amata went exploring, more so when she was hunting ever since the last hunting... incident. Some of the times, he was there to annoy her but mostly he was there to just keep her company, especially after the pack seemed to turn against her. Regardless of what happened, he wouldn't turn his back on her. Not now or ever. Which is why, when he saw her vanish suddenly, he freaked the absolute fuck out. 

"Amata?" He called out, having already started to rush out when he saw the hunting trip start to go wrong. However, before he could react they were both... gone? Sniffing as he walked, he looked at the spot where she had vanished. Well, this might hurt. Taking a deep breath, he walked into it, yelling out as he was plopped out the other side, landing squarely on his ass. With a groan, he would shake his head, looking over to see Amata facing against the creature from before. 

With a snarl, he would move to try and stand in front of her, trying to keep her protected even though he wasn't absolutely nothing to do with this scary fucker. However, he wasn't expecting it to actually attack. It ran forward and with a yelp, he would move to attack it, not wanting it to get past him and to Amata. He latched onto its shoulder however, he grunted as he felt its head slam into his side, making him wince as he backed away slightly to regain his breath.

^^What the fuck was happening and where were they - and whatever this thing was, was totally pissed at Amata. It screamed and chased her and suddenly Levi was here, snarling at him - did she really know him based on the way his snarls sounded?? When did that happen?? - then it attacked and -

And well, Amata got this really tingly feeling in her chest and her hackles rose. She snarled the biggest, meanest snarl she could muster. It was one thing for her to fail hunts and get injured, okay - but no one was allowed to bring harm to Levi - no one but her.

He backed away and Amata jumped forward, aiming to attack him in the same place that Levi had attacked - the shoulder. Of course, though, luck and hunting were never on Amata’s side; she was the queen of bad luck when it came to hunting. Instead, she grabbed at the gut and making the thing squeal as blood was shed.

A sound that was music to her ears.

The man panted and coughed as he regained his breath, readying himself for another attack. However, he was very shocked to see Amata rush forward as well. He had done this to protect her and now she was protecting him. In all honesty, he didn't understand what this all meant, but he kind of liked it. 

Once his breath was back in him, he would rush forward, hoping to kill the creature while it was distracted. His jaws clenched around the things neck as he shook it with all of his might. It still kicked and shook for a few moments before it finally fell to the ground. He released it from his mouth, panting softly as he did so. "Thank you for that. I didn't realize how hard that thing hits." He would move to lay down for a moment, taking a breath and looking around. "Where... where are we?" 

This place was new and interesting, some place far, far away from home it seemed. But, for some reason that didn't scare him though it probably should have.

^^The Tailed, Long Face Bear had fallen at the hands of a supernatural creature and thus, Amata took a moment to stare down at it as he was thanking her. He had gone from being nothing to her, to being something - and Amata wasn’t really sure what to make of that.

He was always there. Annoying her; teasing her; following her - and now they weren’t in Kansas anymore. They were out in the open; gritty soil at their feet that felt rough and weird between her toes. The air smelled light and salty, and the lack of trees made her feel naked.

“Guess we’d better find out, huh?”

And up the beach she would march, attempting to figure out what the hell just happened.

He glanced over at her, his eyes watching her for a moment longer then he probably should have. Nonetheless, he pulled his eyes away to glance down at the body in front of them. They might as well eat it, since it took so much energy to kill the damn thing. Standing up, he would move over to the body, placing one paw in the carcass as he gripped a leg with his teeth. Pulling hard, he pulled the leg from the carcass, moving to lay it in front of her. "Eat." He said simply, with zero room for argument. Turning back, he would move to eat some of the carcass as well, still leaving enough for her if she were still hungry. 

After eating a little, he would watch her walk away, a soft smile gracing his lips. He wasn't sure why he had followed her away from everything he knew and loved.. well tolerated... but he had done so and now there was no going back. A soft sign escaped him as he stood up, regrettably leaving the rest of the carcass behind. "And, where exactly are you heading? Do you know anything about this place or are we lost?" He narrowed his eyes at her as he walked with her, knowing good and damn well she was just as clueless as he was. They were both still rather young so they needed to find someone or someplace to rest and get away from the creatures of the new land.

^^He had commanded her to eat, ripping off a leg and tossing it towards her - to which Amata would respond by walking over the leg and tearing into the gut of the pig. He could have the leg if he wanted, but Amata liked the juicy parts; the parts the squirted blood on her face.

She would say nothing as he protested - if he was bold enough to challenge her - and then when he stood to leave, Amata walked with him at her side. “What kind of question is that? Of course I know where I am heading. I am heading.. this way. ” Amata snorted, sticking her tongue out at him with a wink.

“But we’re also probably lost.”

She was testing him, always getting on his nerves, but he would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy it. So, when she ignored the leg that he had pulled off for her, he only let out an annoyed growl but left it alone, instead turning his attention to the more important issue. Like where the fuck they were. Hearing her words, he found himself chuckling softly, shaking his head. "I don't think that helps us in this situation you know. It's entirely your fault we're here anyway." He would jokingly point the blame at her, though in reality, he wouldn't really change a thing. Except maybe someone to tell them where they were. 

"Thinking about this sensibly though, we should find a place for the night." It was weird for him to be the one thinking sensibly, but he had no want to become a bear's dinner.

^^He was right, wasn’t he, on both accounts? It didn’t help the situation, and they would need a place to stay, at least until they figured out what the hell they were going to do. Returning home was much out of the question; too much work for Amata to go back to a place where she very clearly wasn’t wanted. Mud Daddy was probably going to do a victory dance at getting rid of her, not that they were on speaking terms anyway.


“Let’s go north and see what we can find. I’m sure there’s a pack around here somewhere in need of help, right?”

The man found himself smiling slightly, partially because she had basically admitted he was right, but also because though being out here was absolutely terrifying, he was glad that she was here with him. He glanced back from where they had come through, sighing slightly to himself. There was no going back now, he was sure she wasn't going to willingly go back and now he was stuck in the middle with an impossible choice. His home, or his love? 

"You're right, let's hope they don't recognize our scents and turn us away." With a small sigh, he would nod at her words before beginning to head up north. He had made his choice, but he just hoped it wouldn't come back to bite him in the ass later.
