This is anticipation, I suppose. It is most annoying, I will admit, that I have chosen the position of the waiting. Whoever he is, he takes his time. It is smart, I suppose. After all, I too am seeking out his form within the mists. Eventually, though, there is a stirring. Time seems slower here. The mists part barely to reveal him; young, slender, pale. I do not know him. He smells not of pack. What have I to worry for? The bite is quick. The sear of its burn is a ecstatic. It courses down my leg like warm water; intense and yet, I flinch only so that I may twist around to see him up close. I twist my neck back, eyes staring into his in those moments as I watch his teeth vanish into my fur and skin. I watch as beads of red begin to break across the white of my fur. This, in some way, is what I have been waiting for. The pain is enough to send an influx of adrenaline into me. He steps away and I step with him, reveling in that additional flash of pain as my leg shifts to follow suit.
"Feel good?"
For now, I will allow him his games. This is my game, too. He has the privilege of touching me. I am allowing it, but I will take it away when I so please. For now, I merely question him as I step closer again. I will continue to move until he flinches. I will get as close as possible. I will breathe in his breath if I can. Then I will speak, low and quiet as the mist.
"Do you feel...powerful, colubrum?"
I call him for what he is: a snake. Quiet and sly in the deepest pits of this place. What game is he trying to play? I know my own game. If I can, I shall play it. He will need to squirm if he wants me to play be his rules.
