Translucent white dripped through the branches that twisted above my skull, spilling down on to the scene before me. We had a generous handful of hours before the sun would rise, as it had not long taken it’s leave, dragging the moon in to the golden wake that had faded steadily as the group grew and quarrels started. While I was pleased with the attraction of the place, and the amount of bodies that now hummed lively in my opening - which at this moment, I was declaring open to any stray wanderers - I couldn’t help but feel.. Irate. They were so stupid, and hardly one of them had submitted to the expected, generally gracious extent. Right now I wasn’t too concerned about that, although it did miff me a little that these fools were cotton-eyed enough to think they could try and pull such a sleeve over my face. I just wanted everyone to settle down, and it was clear they weren’t ready to listen. I hadn’t really wanted to hurt anyone, because I was trying to set a gentlemanly example, but that wasn’t getting anywhere.
With a small, sincere nod towards Shaggy (whom I assume had started to act upon my command, only to be cut short by my next decision), I turned towards Skylight with a cold expression that could only be explained as.. Pissed the hell off. I was sure she would recognise that clear enough, and I gave her a stiff shoulder as she rubbed herself along my body. Right now I wasn’t in the mood to play, and I’d deal with her extra assertion later.
In a way I was pleased she was so willing to act on my word without hesitation, but I’d clearly said I wanted the demon Shaggy to deal with the issue.
‘Thank you for doing the opposite of what you were told.’ While my lyrics were cold, they didn’t totally disregard Skylight’s attempt to help clear of the problem and I thinly laced each word with a hidden humour. Stupid talking trash wolves, I didn’t understand why they would want to be accepted in to a pack that was more than in-your-face hostile towards them. Obviously, neither did anyone else waiting for them to disassemble and high-tail it out of the lands.
Suddenly I felt the mood shift. Momentarily ignoring the threats coming from the mates, I pushed myself in to Line with a ravenous growl. It rumbled in my chest, and I shucked my calm exterior for fangs and claws. There was no way I was about to let her attack anyone else from within my lands, and I was more than ready to take the blow she had tried to land. Failing, of course, as I intercepted.
The nymph’s fangs grazed my side as we came in to contact, and I knew that even if she’d manage to dodge the attack that she would have been pushed off course from the other femme. In another smooth movement I spun my wide and waiting jaws around to clamp down on any skin close enough to grip. Retaliation was not readily discussed, and I wasn’t going to give her a second chance.
‘Get out of my lands, Line. You are no longer welcome here at all. If you do not get out now, then I won’t hesitate to kill you - and look around, I’m sure there are many others whom would agree. You’re smouldering away like an open buffet, honey, and we’re waiting.’ One final warning. She was to remove herself without any further comments.
With a small grunt, I dismissed the open wound and pushed myself away from her to spin back around to deal with Edward and Bella.
‘You two, get out as well. I do not like threats, and I do not care what any of your inbred family can do to me. If you do not get out, you two will take in to stride the new position as decorative corpses to line my boarders. Run little rabbits,’ I narrowed my blue eyes, the full impact of my stare boring down on them.
And trust me, it was not a warm sight.
They had fucked around long enough now to have driven me past polite, which I wouldn’t tolerate. Not only that, but in the course of telling the three to leave, one of my pack members had been threatened - If I hadn’t taken the bite in time, then I’d be even more irked off. Attacking your (hopefully, in their case) future alpha wasn’t recommended, either.
I didn’t move for a few minutes, my attention fixed on the three I’d outcast. My banner flicked like an angry cat, curling and un-curling in a patient manner above my straight spine. I had tipped my auds backwards, and my lips were pulled up in a threatening simper. I was making it clear I could play the waiting game - it was their move, and if they didn’t do as I told them, I decided I was more than welcome to clear them out of my home. How rude.
In a way I smelt the scent before I saw the owner of the now approaching nymph. And, in a way she was hard to decipher from the rest, as they were all unfamiliar. However this one smelt distinctly of a bird. I could feel my nose wrinkle at the irony smell, different from that of the rotting rabbit or the dry-and-old crimson that flaked messily from the underside of my own corpse. I didn’t really pay much attention to the new one until she’d finished walking over, quickly ducking in to a submissive pose that revealed soft, supple flesh. Her stomach and throat, the two softest parts, were the best way to wriggle right in to my good books. Instantly I recognised that she was smart enough to know what she was doing - It was never easy to roll over for a complete stranger. Especially one who looked as pissed off as I must have.
I let my mask smooth over to an expression that was near implacable, and I dropped my skull down to her neck with open jaws. Softly, my pearls came to press against her bared jugular, only a few layers of black pelt between life and death. I stayed like this for a few seconds before tracing my tongue along her muzzle.
‘Finally, an onyx amongst boring stone.’ I spoke softly so only she would hear. ‘Even if you do belong to the sun.’ Without hesitating for a reply I stood back up and growled incoherently to gain attention of those squandering around me ambivalently. With a small dip of my paw in Devil’s direction, I spoke, much louder now and with such little effort. It really wasn’t hard to project your voice in an otherwise vacant clearing. Even if the forest did seem to swallow anyone close enough to the edges.
‘This is how you submit in the future. Welcome, Devil’s Angel, it is a pleasure.’ In a way I was thankful she had appeared right at this moment, it seemed appropriate. I had a feeling that the other three weren’t ready to back up just yet though.
I’d held off killing them long enough, and I wasn’t about to do that anymore. Having a small group of blood thirsty demons surround you was also reassuring.
Imagine explaining to the reaper that you'd died at the fangs of vampire wolves. Sounds crazy, right? Yeah. We were.
