Cloud ran up to the dark forest that loomed in front of him. So this is what I get for exploring today: a massive forest, he thought. Since I'm here... He continued his run into the midst of pines, his paws thudding against the ground. His audits were perked forward in anticipation of prey that was native in the area. As he made a way into a clearing, he decreased his speed to rest. Once he halted to a complete stop, he looked into the clearing with his gold-green orbs. There were two deer, a large male and a small female. They were eating at the grass, and that reminded Cloud of how hungry he was. He crouched low to the ground and pulled his audits back and against his head. The male came a bit closer to him. A bit more... It took one more step towards Cloud. This was his chance. He pounced. He leapt onto the bull's back and clamped his teeth on the ear. The bull roared in pain and thrashed wildly in an attempt to throw Cloud off. That only motivated Cloud even more as he let go of the ear and tkook another bite out of the neck of the deer. He had no idea where the female was, but assumed that she had run off in fear.
(I'll finish this later)

Silverstream watched from behind a tree, assesing the new member. Yes, he was a good hunter. She sat down, waiting for the kill to be over. Her pack was growing faster than she had anticipated, and she liked it.

He clamped down on the neck, feeling the warm taste of blood in his maw. Cloud felt another presence. A strong presence of dignity and power. So she's watching me... he thought. He jumped off of the bull's back and crouched down. As the deer started to turn away, Cloud leapt to the throat and wrenched the adam's apple out with his now blood-stained fangs. The bull fell down to the ground, limp and out of life. Blood still trickled out of the opening in the throat and the deer's orbs were white. Cloud shook his head vigorously and licked the blood off of his maw. He looked around and spotted Silverstream hiding behind a tree. Do you want some? he said while still licking the blood off of his teeth, maw, and paws.

Silverstream walked into the clearing and took a bite. "Thank you. Very good hunting Cloud." she said no more, but her eyes showed her approval. She ate only a few bites, then stepped back. "After you are done, there is something I need you to do."

Cloud took a few bites as well, and then looked up at Silverstream. What do you need? he said, and afterwards he took another bite out of the meat. The bull was almost gone, so he stopped eating and also stepped back to face Silverstream.

Silverstream met his eyes squarely with her cold blue gaze. "I test each pack member as they go through their first week in the pack. I tested your resolve when I asked you if you would die for the pack. I tested your sense of smell at the dens. And now I have seen you hunt and I like what I see. But one thing I have never been able to work out a subtle method for testing is your battle skills. So I will test you myself. Attack me." She dropped into a ready crouch, teeth bared.

Cloud dared not argue, so he also assumed a battle position and started pacing around slowly. He got around the right side of Silverstream and leapt onto her back, his teeth bared and ready to snap.

Silverstream performed what could only be called a buck, and then rolled over, trying to crush Cloud. She was up on her feet again with cat-like agility. Her eyes were lit. she was enjoying this.

Cloud jumped to his feet as well, and leapt again at Silverstream, this time head-on and reaching for the throat and chest area with his maw. Seeing the fire in her icy eyes made him enjoy this even more. His paws were wrapped around her neck in an attempt to secure his position so she couldn't roll over again.

Silverstream slipped under him though his paws, then reared onto her hind legs, causing him to slide off her. The for the first time she went on the offensive, snapping her teeth at his leg and jumping away before he could retaliate. She made sure she did not strike to injure or kill.

He leapt up from the snap at his leg and landed to the left of Silverstream. He swiftly got a light hold of her neck with his teeth and let out a low growl. He was on all fours and braced himself for anything.

Silverstream rolled onto her back and kicked up with all fours, sending Cloud off. She barreled into him, teeth snapping inches from his throat.

He slid under her, escaping the teeth, and clamped onto her right forepaw with his fangs. He then rolled forward, pinning Silverstream to the ground while still holding on to the forepaw.

Silverstream kicked with the foot that he held, driving it into his mouth and regaining her feet. This time she bit at his face, snapping at his ears where she would do no real damage if she accidentally landed a hit.

He leapt again at her throat, underneath her maw, and saw a trickle of blood appear on her fur. His maw was bleeding a little from where she kicked him, but it didn't matter. He stood on his hind legs to try and overpower her onto her back again where she would have less power against him. He saw the red against her silver fur, and a twinge of guilt spread through him. How could he have been so careless, and now to stain that beauty... He pushed away and jumped back out of attack range.
