I awoke one year later still dreaming of that encounter with the crimson eyed man to pots and pans clattering in the kitchen. I grabbed the gun from my bedside table and headed down the stairs quietly. As I got down the stairs, I saw two people crouched on the floor beside a man lying on the couch covered in blood. Dammit they're getting blood all over my couch, I thought as I stayed in the shadows and moved to the kitchen. When I got there, I saw someone filling a pot with water. I had also noticed that they all had white hair and mako green eyes, which was quite a contrast to my jet black hair and ice blue eyes. I quietly walked up behind the man and pointed my gun to his head; of course being the wolf that I am, I tend to be very weary of strangers lurking about in my woods.
"State your name and business for being in my house without my permission," I said quietly so only the man in front of me could hear. The man turned off the water and looked back at me. A smirk played across his face as he swiftly knocked the gun out of my hands and pointed it at me.
"My name is Yazoo, and I'm here because our older brother is dying... Now since this is your house wolf girl, you get to make our brother better if you wish to keep your life," he said with a smirk as I growled in anger. He made the gun touch my forehead when I didn't move to get the pot. A sigh escaped my lips as I walked to the sink to get the pot. As I walked out to the living room, Yazoo kept the gun pointed at the back of my head to make sure I didn't run away or do anything reckless. The two sitting on the floor turned and looked at me as Yazoo and I entered the room. The one with shoulder length hair gave Yazoo an angry look as he stood up.
"Who the hell is this Yazoo? Why did you bring her here?" he said with anger in his tone. Yazoo gave his brother a smirk.
"This just happens to be the wolf girl's house Kadaj. She can save big brother," he said shoving the gun into my back. I couldn't help but recoil slightly in fear as the man's, whom I now know to be Kadaj, angered frown turned into an evil smirk. What the fuck did I get myself into now? I thought as Yazoo nudged me forward with the gun.
"You can heal our brother can't you?" Kadaj asked with slight skepticism. I just scoffed and put the pot of water down on the floor by the couch. I then placed my hands on my hips and looked at the man.
"Of course I can heal him... My kind has been on this planet way before the Ancients even arrived," I said. This bit of information made their evil grins grow a little bit wider.
"Well then get to it Miss Wolf," Kadaj said crossing his arms across his chest. I looked at Kadaj with a glare.
"My name is Nira, and I refuse to help you. It's not going to benefit me at all," I said only to feel a sting in my left cheek as my head was forced to the right. I looked up at him, my hand on my face, and slight shock in my eyes only to meet the tip of his twin blade.
"Next time I'll do more than just slap you," Kadaj said in a deadly tone. Fear struck me then as I looked into his mako green eyes. I had not felt fear like this since I was a girl when I found my village abandoned. I looked at him just a minute longer, a smirk had forming on his lips.
"Well hurry up and help our brother," I heard Yazoo say as I slowly lowered myself down to the floor only removing my eyes from Kadaj so I could get to work. Kadaj and Yazoo left the room to look for food while the man with the shortest hair stayed behind to keep an eye on me and make sure I didn't run off.
