her house sinks down to death and her course leads to the shades,
Oh, the ways this girl played their game was delectable indeed. Their game was simple; give this girl the verisimilitude of kindness, welcomeness and warmth before they took all that from her. Lillith would admit to herself, though, that she was surprised by the stranger's brave nature - the way she simply approached the other without regard. It brought a gentle smile to Lillith's face as she began to move once more, a slow lope so that she stood to the side of the silver toy - she would watch and she would see just how well this younger creature played. After all, she would not be guilty of bringing a weak link to Iromar; of all the wolves, Lillith would not be the one to falter and fail. She stifled a giggle when Eclipse dove for the girl's ankle - instead, she forced out a gasp of feigned surprise, her body sinking low as she feigned a charge at Eclipse.
With a sweeping movement, she had dove for Eclipse with a metallic snap of her jaws, her body coming within inches of the other girl. She stared up at both, her gaze flickering from Eclipse to the stranger - her features spoke of compassion, confusion at the dark girl's actions and yet her eyes remained livid with sinister intent. It was part of the game, a fluid way of getting just that much closer - leading her to believe her closeness brought with it protection.
"There is always hope," she hissed in response to Eclipse, the silver female stepping slightly behind her as she curled her own dark body closer to the smaller female's. She stood somewhat between the stranger and Eclipse which offered her the opportunity to once more break her features into a twisted smile of teeth, "Have you lost your mind?" she spat at Eclipse before pivoting to face the smaller silver female, her head lowering slightly to her leg, "Let me take a look. Keep an eye on that girl, please."
The stranger obliged, lifting her paw slightly and locking gaze with Eclipse - the perfect guise if Lillith could say so herself. She lowered her muzzle, weaving towards the girl's chest as it to examine the wound but with a sudden jerk upwards, she aimed her jaws into the tender jugular. She does not toy anymore and she aimed to kill - to split the skin and rip the artery clean out with a savage series of chewing motions, her body jerking back in an effort to topple and obliterate the female. It is then that she expects Eclipse to move into action; the kill will be swift, but she wanted to see it. She wanted to see Eclipse take her place beside her, to tear into the muscles and sinew of their toy. If she were successful in bringing the female to the brink, she would release and take a leaping step backward, opening up the arena for Eclipse to take her pound of flesh. Through blood stained teeth and jowls, she laughed once more, her lips tugged up into a delighted grin as her tail waved joyously behind her.
"You play well, étranger," she giggled, her feet moving in a sort of joyous dance beneath her. Soon, it would be time to share the flesh of the fallen - to feast until their bellies swelled and their jaws ached.
all who go to her cannot return and find again the paths of life |
