The hunt is on. (ZAIN)

[baden]

<sub>The sky was full of clouds again in Forks Washington. The forest was dark somewhat but, with still daylight out. Baden was hunting, he was hungry but, not for human food. He had two diets that he lived off of. In his human form he would eat human food to quit his small hunger but, that wasn't enough. Baden needed fresh blood to keep him going. He was at first in his human form hunting a herd of elk. He stopped in a place where he would remember to find his clothes. He took a deep breath and his inner animal began to come out.

The bones shifted and the pain wasn't as bad to when he first changed. It finally done and out sprang a white tiger. Baden's tiger form was a bit muscular and tall. the alpha wandered off deeper into the forest to follow the scent of the herd. Baden made sure humans were not in the area. If they were he would have to find a different location. Baden would of course bring home extras to Naomi, his imprintee.

While on the hunt Baden would hardly blend into his surroundings because this was not a natural habitat for a tiger. His fur color stood out after all it was snowy white color. The large cat sprinted towards the scent of the herd. It seemed they were heading towards water. Baden ran using his claws to help him run faster. He then came to a walk as he caught sight of them. He lowered down into a crouching position waiting for the right time to spring. But, other scents began to linger around. Baden took his attention off the herd.

Baden sniffed the air. Why were these scents so close? Humans? Deep in these forests. Baden had to know more. He turned to where he came from. The scent began to change from human to something else. Baden stood in place looking in each direction. If it was another weretiger he would command answers, he was an Alpha after all.</sub>

[zain]

Zain had made his way into Forks a few days ago. He was staying in a motel until he decided to take a trip back to the country for his family, which, he didn't know when that would be. He terribly needed to remember how to get there for money wasn't the issue. Zain was a rich man, owning the Greenbrier Resort in West Virgina...The man made his way into the forest for some fresh air and possibly a snack.

He undressed himself so he wouldn't loose his clothes then shifted. He bones cracked, bended, and shaped themselves into a large snow leopard feline. There wasn't pain anymore for shifting, in fact, he's become so used to it that it wasn't bothersome at all. Being Alpha had him as an animal often anyway. His long tail swished then he took of running. He used his since of smell to track down something tasteful but he couldn't smell anything but a...were? He had smelt this before but where? He could tell that this wasn't one of his kind.

Curiously, he started following the scent. It didn't take long for it to become stronger and stronger and as far as he could tell whatever it was was heading straight for him. Good, maybe they could meet up and have a little chat. Zain knew if it were a wereleopard he'd be asking questions about who this person was, why they were here, and if they were in a pack. Wereleopards are so rare though that he doubted he would randomly meet with one.

A figure slowly started coming into view. White fur like his own, however, stripes instead of spots. Zain walked closer, his eyes completely focused on this other being. It wasn't until he was about thirty feet away that he noticed it was an old friend of his! Baden and Zain had met one another some time ago, become close until he moved. After he moved he kept contact until he went missing. His whiskers twitched lightly hoping that this really was his old friend, that way they could catch up and no fighting would happen. Not that there would be a reason to fight but as Alpha he had to be prepared for the worst.... He come up to the tiger and sat down...waiting for the other to do something.

_{Baden could tell this other was not of a weretiger but, a were of some sort. He got closer and closer to the scent until, something became to his view. It was a small looking leopard more knowing as a Snow Leopard. The scent was familiar as he slowed his pace. The only Snow Leopard were he had known was Zain. He hadn't seen Zain for awhile after what had happened to him. Baden came to a slow walk until he stopped right in front of his old friend. Baden wanted to be sure this was Zain as he took a minute before doing anything. Hello, old friend. Long time no see Zain.}

[/i] He just spoke it taking a chance. Though, he spoke it through his thoughts.

Baden's form was clearly much taller then Zains. Baden also sat down slouching just a bit. Baden had missed his old friend. Things had changed a lot for Baden for quite awhile. Baden felt terrible after what he heard about Zain. Welcome back dear friend.[/i] He said again his eyes peeled on his old friend. It was quite odd, a weretiger friends with a wereleopard. But the only thing Baden could not be friends with were vampires, he refused. When Baden found out that Zain went missing it made him a little mad. Baden didn't have many friends and he and Zain were close buddies.

Baden shook his head to get a fly away from his ears. He liked the weather out here in Forks it was slightly comfortable and not hot at all. As an Alpha Baden could remain in his animal form for as long as he wanted. That's also one thing he had in common with his friend was that they were both Alpha's. Where have you been all this time Zain?[/i] His thoughts said with some frustration. He wanted to know who took Zain so, Baden could rip their heart of the person's chest and eat it. He made a hissing sound like some tigers do and calmed his nerves down just a bit. He took a big breath and waited for his dear friends response.[/sub][/blockquote]
