Mythical Times

Chapter 3:

"Quatre?" Thorn said as she turned to the huddling mass of fur behind her. His head rose once the he tucked it back under his tail. She looked back at the other Werewolves. "Why do you want him?"

"He is a disgrace to all of the Werewolf species." The leader, Dorothy, said. "We must do something about him." Thorns eyes widened.

"Are you going to kill him? That's so mean. Leave him alone." Thorn said hugging the werewolf behind her. The other Werewolves gave her disapproving looks and began their way towards her. Duo got in front of her in an act to protect her. He glared at the Werewolves who glared right back at him. Duo threw Thorn a glance and then looked back over at Wufei who was just standing there. Thorn blinked and looked over at Wufei with pleading eyes. He 'hn'ed and walked over in front of Thorn. Thorn sighed. 'yeah what a great protector. My hero.' She thought while rolling her eyes at his lack of effort to protect her. She again turned toward the fuzz-ball behind her. The raven haired girl put a gentle hand upon his head and scratched behind his cute little wolf ears. He looked up at her with large aqua blue eyes. 'How kawaii! He's a werewolf yet he still manages to look so innocent!' She smiled and scratched under his chin. He 'woofed'.

"Awww. You are so adorable." Thorn said. Suddenly his ears lowered and he growled. She thought he was growling at her at first but then she noticed that he was staring at something behind her. She turned slowly to come face to face with the pack leader, Dorothy.

Thorn jumped back in surprise, landing on the werewolf, who surprisingly looked more human than wolf. She looked up at him as human like arms, that were covered in white fur, caught her. He looked at lot like a wolf still but the body was a little more human shaped. His head still looked wolfish but he had this weird yet adorable spiky bangs.

Quatre looked back up at Dorothy with a glare only to have it met with an equally hard glare. Dorothy was his chosen mate but he despised her so much that he never went near her. She looked a little more than jealous now that he had someone else in his arms. After another hard glare at the girl, who had somehow won over 'her' man in a matter of seconds, Dorothy plastered another one of her smug grins on her face.

"Well, well, well… Quatre Raberba Winner… we meet again." She said looking him right in the eye. He was still glaring at her. Her grin turned to a frown. Did her really like this human girl already when they are supposed to be food. But then again Quatre had always despised killing another living creature. "Quatre you do know that you are to be punished for refusing to eat anything that is meat? How will you get strong? If you are not strong, how will you protect the cubs that you and I are to have?"

Quatre made a face. He wasn't ever going to have cubs with her. She may be beautiful but she is cruel and loved to kill everything that moved. He looked down at the human girl he was a holding. She was looking up at him with a weird expression. ' This girl would make a better mate. She is kind and beautiful with her dark hair, pale skin and golden eyes...He stopped. Gold eyes?! 'Gold eyes are only found in the powerful priestesses that long ago disappeared. Yet this girl seems to have them. Doesn't she know that she can just use her power to get rid of the other werewolves?' Quatre hadn't fully realized how close he had gotten to her until Dorothy's cough brought him back to reality. His body had almost become fully human except for the wolf ears that stood on the top of his head, his claws, and the bushy white tail that was behind him. He so close to her face that their noses were touching and she was blushing a deep shade of red.

He pulled away from the raven haired girl and looked over at Dorothy who was glaring fiercely at the girl in his arms.

Thorn blushed so deeply that she thought she was going to explode. This werewolf had just become mostly human and his face just kept getting closer to hers. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw that both Duo and Dorothy were glaring at him. She knew why Duo was glaring because he had been trying to sleep with her for the last three days and not succeeding. But why the female werewolf Dorothy was glaring was beyond her. She was suddenly pulled back to reality after she felt something touch her nose. That was when she realized that they guy had gotten really close and that the thing touching her nose was his nose. She blushed just at the thought of kissing someone, or werewolf, as kawaii as he was. Just as he was about to get even closer the blonde female werewolf coughed causing Quatre to pull away from her in surprise. 'Damn it.'

"So, Quatre? Would you rather have her as a mate than me?" Dorothy growled through clenched teeth. Quatre looked at Dorothy and then at Thorn. His gaze rested on Thorn and then looked back up at Dorothy.

"I would rather have his girl than someone as heartless as you." Quatre said. He knew that she was going to attack the girl now but he would protect her. There was just something about the raven haired beauty that pulled him toward her.

Dorothy clenched her jaw and her fangs became even more sharp and threatening than before. 'This girl will pay for stealing my mate in a matter of seconds.' She launched herself at the girl, her shape becoming more wolf than human, only to have the girl pulled away last minute not only by Quatre but by the male elf that had been with the girl. She growled as she landed on the ground and turned sharply to launch herself yet again at the girl. When she actually managed to take someone down she thought it was the girl and smiled. But when she looked down she was met with a pair of fierce aquamarine eyes glaring up at her.

She growled again and saw the elf lifting the girl onto his back and hopping up into a tall tree. 'Damn the elf knows that we werewolves are not climbers.' She growled again and jumped off Quatre and made a dash for the tree hoping to be able to jump and catch them if they were low enough, but unfortunately Duo had managed to get Thorn up into the high branches where Dorothy couldn't get her.

Dorothy circled the bottom of the tree glaring up at the elf as he glared down at her with indigo eyes. She was just about to try leaping into the branches with she was tackled to the side by Quatre. She pushed herself up and looked at Quatre. He was almost fully wolf and snarling at her. Her eyes became little slits. No one takes away my prey and gets away with it. Even my future mate!

She lunged at Quatre, but he moved away faster and before she could ever turn around, Quatre had grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and thrown her clear across the area and into a tree. Dorothy pulled herself up and blinked in astonishment. 'When did he get all this strength? He was a cowering weakling before and now he was as strong as me.' She kept staring as Quatre continued to growl at her. She huffed and put another grin on. 'Fine. If he wants this human more than he wants me then he can stay with her. He just better know that I'll come after him. Oh yes, don't you wait Quatre I'll come and make you mine.' She thought before dashing off into the woods followed by the other werewolves that had been standing patiently watching the fight.

Quatre stood there calming himself. 'Since when have I become so vicious?' Quatre shook his head and looked up at the elf that was holding onto the raven haired girl. The elf was glaring down at him for some reason and the girl was just plain staring at him with wide eyes. He reverted back to his shape only keeping his ears, and tail. He smiled up at them.

"You can come down now. It's safe. The other werewolves are gone." He yelled up. The elf tightened his grip visibly and hopped from one branch to the next before landing gracefully on the ground in front of Quatre. Next to him a black haired, black eyed vampire appeared.

"Are you okay, miss?" He asked being his polite self. She nodded and gave him a smile.

"Yes and thank you. Both you and Duo saved me from the vicious werewolf Dorothy." Duo huffed.

"He didn't save you. If he hadn't pissed her off by saying that he'd rather have you as a mate then her she would have never attacked us like that." Duo said glaring. Quatre's smile faltered.

"I'm sorry but I have apparently done something that has made you angry." Quatre said looking at Duo with his innocently honest eyes. Duo was about to retort when Thorn's hand shot up and covered his mouth.

"I'm sorry he has been moody for the last 3 days because he has been trying to sleep with me and you have gotten far closer to me then he ever has and ever will." Thorn said giving Duo the evil eye. Quatre smiled.

"Good I wanted to make sure that I had not offended you in any way. Now pray tell, what is the lovely ladies name?" Quatre asked taking her other hand and kissing it. Thorn blushed.

"My name is Thorn, and this is Duo and Wu-wu…I mean Wufei." Thorn said as she heard Wufei's growl from behind her.

"Thorn? What an interesting yet lovely name." Quatre said with a smile. Thorn stared at him. ' I am going to turn into mush if this guy keeps sweet talking me.' Quatre smiled. 'Oh crap, why bother when he keeps smiling like that?'
