What had first been a game to test each other had swiftly turned into a life or death match that she had no idea she had entered into, his teeth having clamped down upon her throat now tightened as the blood red mist courses across his vision, blanking out the humanity that held him in check day after day. She did not know the true danger she had placed herself in the moment she had launched her attack, oh but Aides knew all too well that this could be her last chance for survival, teeth dripping with the blood of the doe clenched against an unseen war in his mind. Two mighty armies waged battle over control of his body to either sacrifice her to the demons that tormented his soul or let her live by the grace of what others might call angels.

Her dull claws and feeble attempts to dislodge him drew on blank ears as his two minds drew up the tale of her fate, it is not till she goes limp that the other side wins and he forces the red mist away with a slight roll of his shoulder, her voice so weak and yet the strength to survive was still there she submits to him wholly and he inturn releases his death grip on her. Taking a step back the mask of his face does not yield a trace of the horror he has almost committed, he has been careful to keep his victims to the outer rim of the giant hole in the ground, careful to take before they get too close to others… This could have ended badly indeed had he not checked himself before hand, the monster was rising and he would need to relinquish his hold on it soon before it snatched it away again with such reckless abandonment.

He takes his time as he moves back another step his paws can feel the coolness in the ground, the dampness like that of his cold blooded heart that beats to a different tune as those around him, black matte eyes take in the female before him as they both recover and at last he finds his voice "you may take what you want but only what you can eat yourself, then we shall talk."
