Chapter 4 - Guardian
"What do you think you were doing back there?!?!" Tammy hissed at me. "If you'd have lost your thoughts for a mere second, both of us could pay the consequences for your actions!!"
"I was merely checking out food possibilities. No harm done. I have more control than I thought, you have to give me credit for that. I'm a tracker who didn't hunt when the opportunity arose. Applause for me."
"Well, just thank your stars the manager was none the wiser. But I warn you now, if I see you here again, you won't be seeing anything else. It's too dangerous both of us being around here. I won't have it." Her tone was final. A very big mistake on her part. She had just threatened me and stumped my hunting range, and she would pay the price.
I hissed a growl, a growl so fierce Tammy cowered a bit. It didn't scare her as much as it should have, so I would now have to rely on my tongue.
"Nobody, not one being on this planet, threatens me. Not you, not anybody. I hunt where I please, and I will take out anything in the way of me. If I want to hunt here, so be it. You will not stop me, if you know what's good for you. Try and you'll end up like Alice will do." My tone was as fierce and low as I could get it, the tone I used to scare away vampires. And it normally worked.
"You don't scare me, James." The beautiful Western accent of hers was now full of malice. It was quite scary. "I will not be told what and what not to do. You don't understand what I am, do you? If I set me eyes on something, I'll protect it or immediately destroy it. I'm undecided about you, that's why you've lasted this long. I'm a guardian, see? And Mary-Alice stays here, un-scathed by you, or anyone. She deserves better than that."
"She's a human!!" I hissed exasperatedly. "We are the predator, she is the prey. What is so hard to understand about that? A mere human is not worth anything!! How you can stand there protecting her is beyond me. She deserves nothing. If anything, I will be helping her. And you will not get in my way. That is my final say. I will get what I want." And with that, I glided out of the door and began to hunt around the area. I was furious that I was being stopped by a guardian. A guardian of what exactly? She couldn't be doing her job properly; she was stopping me from feeding, and that was not right.
