Chapter 2:
The more they change; they stay the same.
Lyke rolled on his back yawning big as he rubbed his eyes clear of sleep, sitting up is noticed the car was stopped and Raven was sitting on the hood. Looking off in to the forest getting out of the car he cleared his throat."Oh, your up how did you sleep?" Raven asked not looking at him for more the a slit second, Lyke tilted his head to the side a bit looking at her lost. "Fine, thank you for asking…umm, are you ok? Why are we parked?" he said wondering what is up with her today.
"I'm just fine Lyke, nothing in the world is wrong" She jumped off the hood and walked 'round to the driver side door opening it, "Raven! Please talk to me why are you upset.. What happened while I was sleeping" he asked looking at her worry plain on his face. She just laughed bitterly looking at him "why on Earth do you think it happened while you were sleeping? HMMMM!" Raven said placing her hand on her hip firm and staring at Lyke hard. He thought for a moment and she could see his face change as he put the pieces together and as he opened his mouth, Raven throw up her hand stopping him.
"do you think it's easy for me like it is for you, well it's not not even close everything I even smell a small amount of blood I get the beyond explainable driving force to eat kill drink. I try, I really do to meet your skill with blood but I can't and it.. it makes me sad that I disgusted you, you are the only one I ever wish to please. I-" she was cut off by him flying across the car and his lips crashing into hers. Leaning back a bit Lyke looked into her eyes and said "you don't nor will you ever."

"But Sire, why must I of all people take this…this child?"Lyke said from his kneeled position beside High Lord Lanigro's stood and walked over to the little twelve year old Cat-Demon, Taking her by the chin and lifting her face so he may have a better look.
"Your name kitten." The little half Cat-Demon bit her lower lip before speaking "My n-name is R-R-Raven Softion.. My lord" Raven said looking from Lyke to High Lord Lanigro. He smiled pulling his hand back from her face "Tell me youngling do you know why you are here and who your Mother is?" Lanigrro said turning to walk by to his took a long moment to think and the High Lord cleared his throat loud, snapping her back to where she was and she looked at her feet as she said.
"I am Raven Softion, daughter to Queen Eixid and daughter to the human Thomas Tucker. Hare to the Eixid Clan and sole living member of her title and land.." she trailed off pulling at her short dress.
"THIS…she is Queen Eixid's bastard child!" Lyke said standing, Lanigro not having sat yet turned and slapped Lyke across the face with so much force he slid back on his feet. Dropping to his knee and lowering his head he said, "Please forgive me Sire I let my tongue and human emotions rule my tide.. So am I to be her Guardian?" he asked feeling his face start to turn red and swell. Lanigro walked over to where Lyke had knelled and placed his hand on Lyke's shoulder.
"Please forgive me my child, but you must protect her with your life for the Nobles are going underground because of the shadow group. and you must keep her safe for the 50 years we'll all be in hiding" Lanigro tapped Lyke's shoulder telling him to raise, and he did just that looking at the little girl standing there, thumbing her dress non-stop. "You are 221 years old Lyke your Lion-Daemon blood is like no other and you know this, so you are the only one i feel will still be up to the job 20 years from now and so on"
Lanigro smiled as he said those words, a fully changed Wolf-Demon burst into the chamber room "Please forgive me Lord but the Shadow task force has just broke through the outer line of defense. From what the intel. i had gathered before hand there it roughly three units of shadow members out there we must get you out of here and top the underground hold"
Raven started to cry and Lanigro walked over picking her up in his arms. "Not worry your self my sweet kitten Lyke is my best warrior and will protect you with his life," he said wiping her tears away walking over to Lyke and handing him Raven Lyke nodded and turned leaving through the rear chamber door. As the door shut be hind him he could hear people shutting and the sound of gun fire, holding her close determined to keep his word to his soon dead Lord Lyke run through the halls and up the stairs through more halls round turns and kicking open doors.
till kicking open the last set of door's before their were outside there stood seven large humans in tactical gear they all looked up at the same moment and stared at Lyke and Raven for a moment be fore one said "It's her the girl put down your guns we have to take Eixid's kid alive" as they put down their guns Lyke whispered to Raven. "I am going to set you in this corner whatever happens do not move and you will be save... Do you understand?" Raven nodded her head and he sat her down and faced the human males.
As the first large human charged at Lyke he was half way through his change and only having one set of claw he spun to the left and ripped out the man's throat, stopping in a lower crouch he was fully changed now, large shoulders covered in fur from head to toe. Four inch claws on each finger and fangs that looked like small knifes in his mouth. Lyke's face shot out a bit now making it easier to bite and tare fleash.
"Come at me you dirty humans if you want this girl so bad kill me!" Lyke made the last part turn into a roar as three more of the humans rushed at him, the first to reach him shot a round house kick at he crouched head. Lowering himself a bit more Lyke jumped forward grabbing the mans ground leg and flipping him into the air, as the second swung a wild punch towards Lyke's mid-section.
letting go of the leg he flipped back so he mid-section spun around the guy's fist and land he lunched on his throat pulling out a spinal disk. The third came from behind and shouldered Lyke in the back knocking him into the wall, but dropping to the floor the man holding crashed his head against it, standin up Lyke saw the last three shadow members running at him at once jumping off the wall towards Raven.
He picked her up and shot over them out the door into the woods. Stopping ten minutes later he fall against a tree with Raven in his arms, looking at her he said "i need a bit of sleep if you hear anything wake me ok?" he smiled at her with his face stained in blood and she whinnied a bit but nodded, not like she'd be able to sleep for the next few days.
