------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The red mustang pulled into the mall parking lot, viciously fighting for a parking space.
Shalimar couldn't help herself from yelling at every person that got in their way, "Hey lard ass start movin!! Hey you grannie push that walker a little faster!!! Yo lady any slower and you'd be standing still!!"
12 security guards and 5 fights later the girls found a parking spot and walked arm in arm into the mall.
Both looked around in awe at the stores, Gucci, Prada, Gap ect. Clothing upon clothing and everywhere they looked there were shoes.
Shal turned to her twin "Oh my gosh honey, we could do so much damage in here."
"Correction, are going to do so much damage." Shalimar smirked, holding up a master card in her right hand.
Shal's eyes grew wide, "you didn't." she said through a giggle.
Shalimar put the card in her back pocket, "You know Adam should really keep his hands on his wallet….. He's way to trusting."
Both laughed and made their way into the nearest shoe store. Hopping from store to store trying everything on, and coming out with at least one thing from each store. By the time an hour had gone by the two ferals had so many bags that they had to stop and rest. Exhausted from hauling around all the bags.
Taking a seat at a little table overlooking the bottom floor of the mall. Both enjoying the view until two surly men walked up to the table and decided to pull up chairs.
"So sweet things, I'm Vince and this here is Matt." motioning to his friend.
Neither women turned to look at them.
"What are 2 beautiful women such as yourself doing here without handsome men like us?"
His comment made both Shalimar's laugh and turn to the 2 men. Shalimar looked at Shal, who knew what she was thinking.
::::this should be fun:::: "You know as fun as that sounds…. We're gonna say hell no. Now beat it before I decide to get meaner."
Both the men just sat there as if Shalimar hadn't said anything, Vince leaned into her a bit.
"Now you see you don't have much of a choice, you're a woman and women don't get a say in this."
Shal groaned, "Oh not this male superiority crap again , haven't they learned by now that it doesn't work."
Shalimar looked at her, "Guess not, you wanna show them why?"
"Lets!"
With that the girl got up from the table and left leaving Vince and Matt in their wake.
"Un uh no one turns down Vince! Come on dude, they aint leaving until we say so." Walking fast to catch up with the 2 beautiful women. "So where to." Matt grabbed onto Shal's arm and Vince did the same to Shalimar.
"WE.." Shal motioned to herself and Shalimar, "Are going to shop some more."
Shalimar nodded, "and you two are gonna beat it if you know what's good for you."
Vince let out a chuckle, "Or what?" tightening his grip on Shalimar.
Matt leaned into Shal and tried to grab her breast, but she leaned out of reach, "Come on you know you want to." he cooed.
Matt practically threw himself on her, while Vince kept a tight hold on Shalimar. Matt did his best to cop a feel but Shal was much stronger then he was, "Come on who are you to resist me?" he spat.
"I'm the woman you shouldn't have messed with!" deciding she was fed up, Shal flashed her eyes their brilliant gold.
Matt took a step back, "What the hell are you!"
Both men had looks of shock on their face, Vince went to tighten his grip on Shalimar, thinking he could hold her.
Shalimar grinned, "Wrong move pretty boy, time to improve those manners of yours." with a slight hint of amusement in her voice, she brought her elbow into his stomach. Leaving Vince double over on the floor.
"You bitch what the hell are you?"
Shalimar couldn't resist, "I'm your worst nightmare."
Shal backed up a bit, trying her best to give the guy time to think about his actions. She didn't want to hurt him….but she would if she had to. "Back off!"
"Un uh baby, your mine!" Launching himself at her, using her feral speed she easily avoided him.
"Jeez take a hint already I… Don't…. Want…. To….. Go ….Out… With…..you! Do I have to spell it out or what?!!!" Giving him a swift kick in the nuts for good measure. Looking over at Shalimar to see her sitting on Vince's chest, "Now what do you have to say for yourself Vincey boy?"
Vince grimaced as Shalimar dug her knee into his groin, "I say…..Get the hell off me!"
"Hmm ennnhhhhh I'm sorry that is the incorrect answer, please try again." Digging her knee in farther. Shal knew if she didn't stop her more untamed side she would continue to torture him. Not that this was a bad thing she thought, but then she heard the heavy foot steps of the mall security guards.
"Shalimar come on we gotta go….."
Shalimar groaned, she wanted to keep having fun with her new cat toy, "Fine….but you!" pointing her slender index finger at Vince, "I'll be watching you, so you had best use your manners!"
Both Shalimar's turned to run. But found their path blocked by 10 security guards. "STOP RIGHT THERE LADIES."
Shalimar looked at the cops with a none to impresses look. "Argggg a girl can never JUST shop can she? She's gotta get harassed, groped and arrested doesn't she?"
Vince and Matt got up holding their groins, "These women attacked us without provocation."
"Oh that's bull and you know it!" Shalimar sneered.
One cop stepped forward, "Ladies you were already involved in a fight in the parking lot today so this time were gonna have to take you in for disturbing the peace."
Both Shal's stared in shock, "WHAT! They started it! We just……… finished it." biting down on her lower lip.
"Even so…."
"Oh hell no." Shalimar looked at Shal and leaned to whisper in her ear, "Vault over the cops and run to the left I'll go to the right, meet me by the car."
Shal nodded in agreement. Shalimar turned back to the cops.
"You know we got a better idea. NOW!" Both Shalimar's vaulted over the cop, landing behind them. The cops stood there for a second while their brains caught up to them.
A cop with a crew cut and mustache turned in just enough time to see one of the girls dash to the right.
"Let's go," pointing to the right, "They went that way!"
The cop's took off leaving Matt and Vince on the ground in pain, Shal running to the car, and Shalimar running with cops hot on her trail.
Shal ran as fast as she could thinking she was being followed. It wasn't till she listened, her feral senses telling her that she was indeed alone.
"Oh crap they must have gone after Shalimar, of all the stupid plans!" Thinking it was best if she turned around and tried to track her counterpart. Lowering her head a bit trying to concentrate on Shalimar's scent. Being that they had the same one, Shal managed to track the trail back to herself at least 4 times before she came to a large open area. Looking up to try and deduce where she had ended up this time.
"Oh great another dead end! At this rate she'll get to the car before me!" That's when she saw a figure standing in the shadows clad in all black. Thinking that maybe she could get an idea of where the hell she was, she approached the figure slowly.
"Hey uhhh can you maybe tell me where I am?"
A large hand came out of the shadows and grasped her wrist tightly.
"Ya I can tell you, your in trouble!" Giving her arm a quick jerk, enough to separate her shoulder and send her back reeling in shock.
"What the hell, stay away I'm warning you!" Flashing her eyes from brown to gold to show she meant business, all the while doing her best to fix her shoulder, but to no avail.
The man stepped out of the shadows, flashing his eyes a deep red. He was tall, dark and handsome she though. Quickly pushing that though back in her mind, he's trying to kill you, you fool! Think!
Quickly taking a fighting posture, ready for anything….. Or so she though. As she crouched down getting ready to jump the man stepped forward. His shirt ripping off his body revealing white feathered wings. Spanning almost 16 feet from his body. Taking flight leaving the ground behind, hovering high above Shal's head, as if almost taunting her.
Not knowing what to do Shal looked for cover, but found none, the area was open with no cover. Suddenly she was hit with a shock that shook her entire being to the core. Looking up to see the man holding a ball of energy. All she could do was stand there in a stupor, unable to reach him, unable to vault walls due to her dislocated shoulder. Helpless…. There had to be something she could do! She thought, unwilling to just give up. Shalimar Fox was not one to be helpless.
Doing her best to dodge the ongoing barrage of energy balls, Shal decided the best thing to do was to fix her shoulder and do her damndest to take the fight to her mystery man. Quickly slamming her right side into the wall hard enough to pop her shoulder back into place. Letting out a piercing scream in pain, then lowering herself to the ground and quickly vaulting to the wall and climbing up to her assailant on the upper rafters.
Flashing her eyes feral, "Who are you?"
"All in good time, and that my dear we have plenty of." His large wings beating against the air, throwing her balance off a bit. The bird man touched down on the rafters, approaching her ever so slowly. Shal looked him in his eyes, still the color of blood. The pure hatred she saw in his eyes made her shudder. Backing up a bit for good measure, almost loosing her footing in the process.
"Careful pretty kitty, wouldn't want you to fall now would we?" he snickered , producing a different kind of energy ball, throwing one after another at her.
Shal did her best to regain her balance, but between the wind and the energy balls the man was sending her way it was almost impossible to get her footing back. The man saw her struggle and decided it was his job to give her that last nudge. Shal saw him produce another energy ball, her eyes widening in fear, she knew this one would send her crashing to the floor below. With one swift movement the man threw it at her.
"Light out time pretty kitty! See you soon!" he cackled.
The blue ball hit Shal with enough force to send her flying off the rafters and crashing to the floor. Landing on her back with a sickening thud, unconscious and bleeding from the various cuts and bruises on her battered body. The man flexed his wings and touched down on the floor next to Shal, gathering her up in his arms and slipping back into the shadows.
An hour later Shalimar had managed to shake the rentacops and get to the car to meet Shal. Thinking she would see Shal sitting in the car when she got back, wondering what had taken her counterpart so long to shake a few cops. Shalimar was shocked out of her wits when she realized her other half was no where to be seen.
"Damn it!" hitting the dash board of the car in frustration. "Better go get her…" Running back into the mall to try and track the other feral. Going back to the place they had split up, she knew for a fact that all the cops had followed her, so where was her other half….? After what seemed like forever she came to a dead end and the end of her companions trail. Then her feral nose picked up another scent, one that was unfamiliar to her. It was obvious there had been a struggle, with scorch marks on the walls, and a large puddle of blood on the floor. Shalimar walked over to the blood curious to know who it belonged to. Collecting a small amount on her fingers, letting her nose tell her the results.
"Shit…" was all she could say when her brain registered the bloods owner.
Lifting her comm. Ring to her mouth, "Adam we've got a problem!"
