Midnight Growls

Chapter 31

Later that night, Creed stepped outside to drink a beer while Jubilee slept. He stared up into the dark treetops that concealed the entire house, thinking about his plans for tomorrow. The winds shifted and he caught the smell of a familiar scent coming from the shadows.

"That would've been a great hiding spot if yer stench didn't overpower yer stealth."

A low growl rumbled through the boards of the front porch, as Turk's figure crept out from the shadows. Glaring at Creed with threatening eyes, Turk slowly made his way towards him, making himself look even bigger just to Creed in hopes of putting some fear into the man.

It didn't work.

Creed took a swig of his beer and stared up at Turk with annoyance, "Got a starin' problem, punk?"

Turk growled angrily, "The only problem that I have is with how you treat Jubilation! I've seen the way you treat her when you think no one's looking. She told me about the deal you two made and it sickens me at how you manipulate her into doing the things you want her to do and then reward her like some common pet afterwards except with sex instead of a treat."

Creed took another swig and smiled, "I never hear any complaints."

It took all of Turks strength to keep himself from attacking Creed, "I'd watch my tongue if I were you, outsider. I'm not the only one who roams around at this time of night."

"Doesn't matter what I say. I ain't gonna be hangin' around this joint much longer anyways. Within' three days I'll be gone and so will Jubilee."

"You're not taking her anywhere! I won't let you."

"I'd like ta see ya try. Oh, wait. You can't! You know why? Because as long as yer on house grounds yer not allowed to touch me in any threatening way."

"Grrrrr Infernal human!"

"Hey! I'm a mutant, get it right."

"Mutants and humans are the same no matter how different they are."

"Whatever, punk. I'm headin' back to bed to do some more bangin'. Oh, and by the way, Turk. Stay away from my frail." With that, he went back to bed, leaving an even more infuriated Turk.
