Summer has arrived. The world has been well at peace, and others seem to be trying to take advantage. They believe we are lazy and complacent. We are no such thing. Remain vigilante, friends and family.
Give your congratulations to Maiko. She has been promoted to Blizzard; she earned it.
We also have an activity check going. Please reply so I can make adjustments accordingly. Check will go for an entire month so we can hopefully capture everyone.
As always, if you have need of me, do not hesitate to find me.
:: Sins of The Father :: IP: 124.168.37.153 Posted on May 24, 2013 at 06:04:03 AM by Elijah
All this wretch does is stare and glare- that’s fine by me, I’m damn good at that too and maybe, maybe my black face isn’t quite so terrifying as hers but I’m fairly sure she must have been trying pretty hard to not actually be scared of me. I mean, I do look pretty evil when I want to. At least, I figure I must, that’s probably why no one ever comes around, not that I’ve really tried chasing others away yet- but I’ve thought about it, though the way Elijah rambles about this and that is enough to drive anyone away. I continued to huff, my bad attitude to any kind of limitation fairly evident and I mean really, what did you expect? The only rule I’ve ever really obeyed is ‘don’t go to the main pack’ and I am obeying that so well that I happen to be in the main pack right now, as for the rest of the rules…well…..Aaliyah doesn’t really have any. As long as Elijah and I don’t maul Alyx or get lost she is a pretty liberal Mother. We do as we please, we entertain ourselves when she’s off with Shadow, we learn what our physical limitations- the moral ones are evidently debatable so I can hardly be blamed for testing Cousin Ava can I? Any child would, particularly one such as myself, prone to be a little more devious then the normal kind with the combination of blood that burns so hot in my veins- even if I have to share said veins with Elijah.
She didn’t react much to my gasping act, that was a bit disappointing, stuff like that usually got me more attention, not that I could do it very often, Elijah was almost always in control and even getting one limb for myself was hard sometimes, even so, most wolves, especially female wolves would have let go as soon as a puppy showed any signs of distress, it’s like….natural. Like I said, I’m not stupid, I see everything, I understand more then I should for being so young but then again I suppose I have two minds where others only have one and I’ve got a lot of free time just to think about things and I think- Cousin Ava has something wrong with her, just a little bit. That’s why her face doesn’t change, that’s why her eyes stare like that. She isn’t like Mother or Baylee or that Butterfly girl, no, something’s off about her. I don’t really know what it is, I suppose maybe Demons just know each other when they see each other, or some darker instincts are simply drawn together. Some part of me just liked some part of her I suppose. At least a little bit. I still didn’t like her being so bossy, I liked being boss- but her teeth are the size of my whole body so I suppose she can be in charge until I grow into my over-sized paws and believe me, I will. One day I’ll stand taller than even her. I’ll save my bossiness for then- but that doesn’t mean I won’t keep sulking about it with my back turned.
I spoke only as I needed to, making every effort to make sure she knew I was only telling her these things because I expected something in return. I might be small and cuddly in appearance but I would not be as Elijah, I would not be underestimated as some half-Angel wannabe. Though….I was maybe a bit worried about telling Cousin Ava what I was looking for, even if I didn’t really know myself, it just…..something inside says I shouldn’t say it, that it was my secret to keep and that maybe it wasn’t the best idea to go around telling other wolves. Although- if what the black female says is true, then other wolves haven’t been telling me stuff for a really long time, not that I haven’t suspected. I think even Elijah’s onto it, though he’s too polite and outright spineless to ask anyone. Luckily I’m brave. My ears flicked as she spoke, head tilting back around to face her, shuffling slightly on my little rump to angle my black and white body a little more towards her own. Not because I thought she deserved my attention….my neck was getting sore….that’s all. My Father? Nobody ever spoke about my Father. I knew Elijah and I had to have one, but….he’d never been there so I never thought about it much I suppose. Aaliyah just told us he had to leave. I frowned, unaware that I had inched closer towards her, ears still lowered back in submissive acceptance as I shuffled towards the sound of her voice, willing to hear more of this story I had been denied. So they were scared of me. A baby smirk touched my lips, little white fangs beaming in the darkness of the den as my tail waved.
"I knew it! I told Elijah we were bad, I told him they were scared, but why? Tell me why."
It was almost a demand, emerald eyes held against her own with a ferocity startling for even a child before I managed to edit my tone a little. I didn’t want her hitting me again. I didn’t like that. I paused, waiting eagerly for her to keep going with her story. Elijah would be so jealous he was missing this. Well…I assumed he was missing it, I didn’t really know where he’d gone. Maybe he was listening. I rotated my eyes upward a minute, as if trying to search inside my own head before I realised the silliness of such a thing, Ava’s words echoing in the cave again. That was a funny sound. The smiled when she spoke, though it wasn’t like Mama’s smile, but like I said, I think she’s a bit broken herself. Demons. I knew that word, Demon. Heyel said it a lot, Mama whispered it and I’d heard it said before. It meant bad, that was what I was told, what we were told. Demons were bad and if Ava is right then this Shadow is a Demon…..one Mama goes to see even though she is Angel. I scowled. This was a…confusing story for my young mind, emerald eyes narrowed ad I attempted to process it, leeching hungrily from her words all the same. I brushed my tiny tongue across my lips as she spoke, feeling baby fangs as she talked of this feeding of flesh, this warm. Was that the same warm I was looking for? I didn’t know- but if this was sin, if Angels hated this eating of warm so much then why did Mama go to Shadow, er, Tobias? That was not the only part that didn’t make sense.
"If this…Tobias is getting rid of the unworthy why should it matter if he eats them? Shouldn’t all these Angels be happy he is doing it for them? If they hate these Demons so much why does Mama visit with him? If he kills, why is she not dead?"
These words came less easily, slowly, each one clearly thought on before I could manage to speak it. Demons at flesh. Angels didn’t like it. That I understood, the why did not matter, it was the way of things apparently, what mattered was why Mama should go to him so often. I waited again for Ava to either answer of keep going, having shifted closer again without truly knowing I did. She asked if I knew why I wished for this warm, my head shaking softly side to side. No. I just knew I wanted it…whatever it was. I lent forward again, ears pricking upward as she spoke of this secret, this very great thing I was not being told, this thing I could tell no others off. Did Elijah count? I didn’t know how not to tell him, he was in my head all the time. Well…I’d worry about that later. Tobias was…..my sire? I felt my eyes widen even within the gloom. The black wolf from the outskirts and shadows….our Father. Mama….she never said…..she went to him all the time….why did she not take us? Wait….I felt my head jerk back towards Ava at her final words.
"Who wants me to die?! What do you mean they let me live?"
It explained so much…..why we couldn’t come to the main pack, why Mama grew so worried and tense when any other wolves came near us. She was protecting us from them…all of them…this whole pack! It didn’t explain why we were never taken to Shad- Tobias but it didn’t matter, at least, my young mind couldn’t focus on everything at once. I felt my heckles lift, anger and agitation at her choice of words clear as my tiny paws lifted my frame upward once more, baby tail flicking.
"I’ll live as long as I feel like living, who….who is this decider who chooses who lives and dies….who…..is watching me?"
It was a logical assumption, one I had suspected for some time. I always told Elijah to be careful who he spoke to, always….I was right to do so, I had been right all along. This whole pack….all of them- they couldn’t be trusted. I nearly missed her last words, my mind busy with so many things as she leant over me once more, her words a whisper, dripping like water from shadow against the bloody knives of my baby heckles. I stayed silent a moment, thinking. How did I know I could even trust her and why….why would she help me if what she said is true and no one wants me alive? What makes her different? I felt my eyes narrow once more within my dark features, yet I stayed facing away from her. I am a good secret keeper and maybe these thoughts I will keep to myself too, for now. A weapon she says, knowing these things. Maybe, maybe I will keep watch of her too, just in case, just in case she tries to double cross me. I allowed a grin to touch my features, turning to face her once more. No, I didn’t trust her either, not fully, but she hadn’t said anything proven to be wrong….yet.
"I won’t tell and I won’t have you for eating, but- where can I get this….warm? Will you help me get it?"
Bad luck Elijah. I totally get to be an assassin before you.
