The Wolven Masquerade- Chapter 1- Meeting in bizzare ways.
Disclaimer: I do not own Wolf's Rain..sigh But I do own my character! Alas I do not own Cascada's What hurts the most. Enjoy...
Walking swiftly down the icy streets I glance to check if I'm being followed." Nope. Noboby." I sigh in relief. It would be very bad for Noble Troops to find me now. I duck into a bar. Freeze City, a filthy place. But I'm stuck here for a while. Oh Joy! "Vodka please." I say to the barkeep. He puts a glass of vodka in front of me. I take the glass and gulp down the contents. He stares bug-eyed at me. "Darling, I can drink 14 bottles before I become drunk." I smirk, my voice sounding srangely Russian. Must be the Vodka. His eyes go wider. A Noble scientist walks in. A woman with blonde hair, she wears a gray suit with a sort of purple undershirt. "A sherry please." she mumbles to the barkeep. "You look like you need something stronger." I chuckle. "You have no idea.." she sighs. "Feel lucky, you have it off better than me." I advise. She turns to face me. "I went through a divorce and my ex is contantly around me." she fires. "I was born into a royal family all of whom, exept me, were murdered in a battle the likes of which neither you or the Nobles have ever seen." I shot back. The Bitch is surfacing. "You must be Ariana Lockhart. I'm Cher Degre." She introduces. "So you you've heard of me?" I say, quite suprised that there is a human with a brain. "Yes, quite well, your family was once the strongest Monarchy in the world. You...you..created Cheza." She stammers a bit at the end. "You work in the Noble Science Lab, Ms Degre?"
"Yes, I'm the head scientist. The things you could teach me..." She trails off.
"I wouldn't teach you anything." I push my long, pure-white out of my face revealling three cut scars going down my right eye. "Not after what they did." My violet eyes pierce into her green eyes. I stand then leave the stuffy bar. Walking out I put the hood of my purple robes over my face and slip into the back alleys of the city.
A gunshot rings in my ears. I bolt to the scene. a hunter has shot a brilliant white wolf. "Get away from him!" I scream. "It's a filthy beast. Pathetic wolf lover." He spat and started walking toward his prize. With a movement that a normal human wouldn't be able to see, I pull out my pistols and cripple him and his dog. A shot in each shin. "Now who's pathetic." I smirk as I pick up the wolf and run through the back alleys toward the apartment that I 'liberated'. I set the wolf down on the bed. It manages a small warning growl as I tuck it in. I laugh softly. "Sleep tight." I whisper and place a kiss on his muzzle. I sit in a chair in the corner and drift off into a peaceful sleep.
A whimper rouses me from my rest. The wolf is trying to stand and it's not succeeding. "Need some help?" I offer. It growls at me. "Fine." I say and walk over to it. A light poke sends it careering back down to the bed. "Rest. You were hurt pretty badly. Sleep, you are safe here." "I've heard that before. It didn't end well. Why should I trust you?" It's voice clearly states that it's male. He tries to stand then falls again. "Then...who can you trust?" I say softly. He stays silent while he watches me. "My names Kiba." He says softer. "Kiba." I smile. "Ariana." I introduce myself. "Why did you save me? You, you're human. Why do you care?" He asks. "You and I aren't that different. We're strong, independant, headstrong, proud, loyal, determined and although we won't admit it..lonely." I say Showing him my wolf form. A pure white wolf with violet eyes. He stands immediately and hops down from the bed. "You can stay, Kiba, but I'm going to the Noble science building. Bye." I tell him and leap out the window. "Wait!" he yells but I'm not turning back.
He had followed me into the town. "I would turn back." I say. He shakes his head. I feel the urge to cheer him up. Perhaps a song would the trick...
"I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while even though goin' on with you still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again I pretend I'm okay but that's not what gets me"
I begin to sing one of the very first songs I wrote(All credit to Cascada and the real writers as I do not own the song..sigh). He looks amazed. "Keep singing" He says.
"What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
Watching you walk away
Never knowing, what could've been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do"
"That was amazing, your voice.." He stops talking. "Thank you" I smile. A loud shot goes off putting Kiba on the floor. I gasp and spin around, drawing my blades. An army of Noble soldiers in front of us. I'll tear them apart one by one. "Run! Ariana, go!" Kiba whispers as loudly as he can. I look at him. "I'll be back for you." I say and bolt into a side alley and up onto rooftops. "I promise i'll be back for you..''
