Killing Tongues

Talitha looked up at the strange vermin with an obscure stare. "What do you want filth?" She asked sneering slightly. She heard a gasp from the others behind the girl. "What do you not even know how to speak proper-" She cut herself off and looked at Jake. ~What?~

~Come Talitha let us leave here, the company is... unpleasureable. You agree?~ He asked touching her hand with his lips, causing more sparks than a kid's sparkler on bonfire night. She nodded not totally entranced with him. She turned to study the party once more as she left... what was going on?

~FLAME! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR BRAT DOING BOTHERING MY BRAT?~ Jake asked calmly as they made the way to his car. The sister was still following and Talitha was still wandering about her.

He brushed her face away from her sister with his caress before kissing her softly on the lips and opening his mind to the connection. ~I love you~ He told her wondering how to kill her sister. Talitha giggled slightly before buckling her seat belt. ~Just a sec honey.~

He got up and jumped out the car heading round it to where Faith was shouting something desperate at her sister. He let the others converge round Talitha talking to her as he dragged the sister away. "You wanna know what's happened to your sister?" He asked looking deep into her eyes and brushing away a strand of hair. "OK first you have to calm down and I'll tell you."

Talitha was confused. Everyone was talking about how evil the guy she was going with was but Jake wasn't evil. Sure he'd done some bad things but he wasn't evil! Not really. "Do I know you?" She asked the one who was closest and shouting at her hardest. His expression blanked and he swallowed hard. Her comment has silenced the whole of them before the one she had spoken to asked.

"Don't you know us? None of us?" She shook her head in bewilderment. Should she? "I'm Arthur. I'm a shifter and we have been friends for almost.. well years. And that's Harry." She shook her head blankly these names meant nothing to her.

"I can't remember anyone. I was alone. It was dark. Very dark and very alone. Then Jake came everything was ok." She said noting how dry it was to herself. Fuck it. "I am happy why can't you just except that?"

"Because he wants to kill you. He's been hired to kill you." She let out a burst of laughter.

"No. He hasn't. I can see into his mind. I know everything about him. He may be an assassin but only to vermin." She said smiling sweetly and amused. But it left the others in silence. A cold silence... What had she said?

"Talitha. You don't believe that humans are vermin do you?" The one named Harry asked in a cold kind of I'm-gonna-kill-you-kind-of-way. She shrank back from him scared at his cold nature that had suddenly turned from amazed and frustrated to cold, heartless anger.

She held no reply to his words. Her mouth opened and shut like a fish.

The sound cam before the feeling. A cold hurtful sound of resonating veracity. The anger behind it was pure and the strength used was refined enough to cause maxim pain and tears. Slap.

Talitha hit the back of the car with a thud, her body shaken, her left cheek stinging painfully. Tears began rolling down her face and she choked slightly.

She sniffed and pulled herself back to face him, but the tears were still coming and the face was bright pink. The composure was gone and pure emotions of fear and distrust were residing deep within her. She gasped for breath and let out a deep felt sob.

Bang.
