Vieraslayer

I promised a villain, and I have come up with one of the most dangerous, twisted, psychotic creatures I've ever invented… and I write soap opera parodies so I can come up with some awful villains! Just you wait and see how dangerous something can be when she turns against her nature in a way Alvyne cannot. Introducing Carraka the Reena-Kaana! BTW, the Yesterday's Tomorrow show is a take on the Today show. REVIEW ME!

The Other

A lone Viera wandered the streets at night hoping to find some shop that was still open. She had returned home after a whole day shopping only to realize she had forgotten what she had originally gone out to get.

A shadow was following the rabbit-person. The shadow was shaped rather like a canine. A Paramina Husky to be exact. The Viera saw it, but there was nothing to worry about. It was only a stray dog!

That shadow was the last thing the Viera woman saw before she felt something large land on her back…

Ktjn headed to work the next day with Tjla in tow, same as usual. She had happily been watching half of the Yesterday's Tomorrow show, just like always. Coffee was not good for Viera, it made them hyper, so she had herbal tea, just like always.

Yep, a normal day, just like always.

Except for the crowd out near Migelo's Sundries that was blocking her entry!

"Hey, what is going on?" Ktjn asked Migelo, who was standing near the crowd.

"See for yourself. It's terrible! And what's more, this is the third one this month! This is the first one killed in Rabanastre, but there were two more found killed in the same way in other areas!" The Bangaa told the Viera. Ktjn told Tjla to stay with Migelo and she edged her way through the crowd.

"Oh. My. Wood." The Viera gasped.

There was blood everywhere, but what horrified Ktjn most was where the blood had come from. A dead creature was just lying there. It was practically torn apart. Upon closer inspection, Ktjn froze.

The body was that of a Viera.

Ktjn had to keep from retching at the sight of one of her own kind ripped to pieces. It looked like something ate part of it. But what ate Viera aside from extinct Reena-Kaana or monsters? Had some Hume or Bangaa gone crazy and decided that eating Viera was a good idea?

"Hey! Did you know this Viera?" A Moogle asked Ktjn.

"From what I can make out, no. I hope not. It's hard to tell. She's been torn almost beyond recognition! Who would… nay, could be capable of this kind of damage! It looks like something has taken bites out of this poor Viera. Huge parts of her are missing! I really should've stayed home and watched more news. This is going to be a very bad day!" Ktjn yelped in reply.

Clan Centurio waded into the group. Krjn saw her sister and seemed very relieved.

"When I heard a Viera had been found torn to shreds, I feared it was you. Thank the Wood I haven't lost my sister! But who is that? Is that Max's Sjra? It looks like her! Ktjn, do me a favour and find Max! NOW! Don't worry about Tjla! If Migelo needs to do something, I'll watch her!" Krjn ordered. She knew what she was doing. Ktjn was still so freaked out she was shaking. She ran off to find Max and see if Sjra was with him or not.

Out of a shadow, a pair of big blue eyes was watching.

The Viera had reason to worry, because that pair of big blue eyes belonged to Carraka Lepuskiller, the most horrible creature ever to terrorize Viera. And there was one thing special that made Carraka different from others who harassed innocent Viera…

Carraka was a full-grown Reena-Kaana!

But she was no ordinary Reena! Oh no. She had recently found a way to ignore a Hume's orders, making her especially deadly! And she had just moved to Rabanastre because she had heard of the significant Viera population. She had found herself a food source, and she knew Humes wouldn't be able to stop her the way they usually stopped her kind! Very few Reena could ignore a Hume's orders, and they were even worse than most Reena.

And Carraka had other defenses. She had mastered the lethal bite, but if in hand-to-hand, she had razor-sharp claws. She was also proficient in weapons of all kinds. Bows were her favourite. It helped her get into the mind of a Viera so she could hunt them. And she was very clever with her transformations. She never transformed into the same exact shape twice, so she'd never be recognized and suspected! Someone who showed up every time a Viera was murdered would certainly be arrested! And to remain even more inconspicuous, she'd often watch the crowds gawk at her handiwork in the form of a small animal such as a pigeon or rat. Something that appeared anywhere and was not suspicious at all!

And it wasn't like she didn't have a good reason to kill the Viera. She ate them, and she never left much left. She usually skeletonized the carcass before she left. All except the head. Reena had never eaten the heads of the Viera, not even Carraka. The corpse did get identified if found soon enough, but Reena just didn't like eating the heads.

The only problem with eating Viera was that blood got everywhere. Reena spent hours licking gore out of all their fur. They were clean creatures, much like the Viera. Reena were dogs, but they sure didn't want to smell like dogs! And since many Reena didn't cook their meat (although many, like Alvyne, did), they had to stay clean or they'd get fleas or something off the animals they killed. Carraka only cooked if she wasn't likely to get caught, but in the case of Viera in a city, she had to eat as much as she could and flee.

Carraka didn't care if a Viera was male or female, a kit or an adult, rava or veena, or anything like that. She didn't even care if the Viera was pregnant, like most Reena. Viera were prey, simple as that. She didn't like them. They had killed her whole tribe, probably even her niece Alvyne Vieraslayer, even though the pup ran like crazy at the first sign of danger. She killed any Viera she could get her evil little paws on. Her favourite thing was digging her teeth into the neck of a squirming bunny-person and feel them go limp immediately. Sometimes, if she was outside a town and encountered a lone Viera, she'd take her time, fighting it until it was subdued and them viciously torturing it before killing and eating it. She never attacked Viera in pairs though. That was kind of dangerous.

Carraka was interested in Ktjn. She looked pretty young. Young Viera were the best. They were nice and tender still, and sometimes they couldn't fight very well yet so they were easy to take down. Carraka's favourite parts of a Viera to eat were the pointed little feet. The ribs weren't bad either. The only problem with going after Ktjn was the danger of her sister. Carraka did not want to fight Krjn. She had heard of her. Krjn was a prominent member of Clan Centurio, and was a seasoned warrior. She could quite possibly kill a Reena without too much trouble. Carraka had to be smart about this or she'd be killed. She and her mate Atlas were possibly the only two Reena-Kaana left. They were going to try and have a few pups soon, but first they had to find themselves a nice home with a steady supply of delicious Viera. Rabanastre was turning out to be a pretty good place. Lots of Viera… big enough to make an escape into a crowd… lots of places to hunt. It was like it was begging a pair of Reena to reestablish their race there!

In the Wood, Alvyne was undergoing her first day of training. She was going to be a healer for the Viera, and the young Reena was very excited. Jote was watching her, interested. If Alvyne was going to be her midwife, she had to make sure she knew what she was dealing with. If somebody wasn't careful, they could really hurt someone. Jote didn't know if she'd need Alvyne, but it couldn't hurt to have her present just in case.

Mjrn was acting as a temporary leader again. She had done very well when Jote was recovering from having little Vinka and couldn't handle leading the tribe. Mjrn knew this was only for a few hours, while Jote was watching Zara and Alvyne, but it made her happy that her sister finally trusted her.

And Mjrn was needed right now. She had to figure out where Rush and Rael had snuck off to after they had been caught having relations in town by two of the younger Viera. Rael knew better than to bring Rush into Eruyt Village. Rush wasn't even allowed in Caman Village, his own home, for his disgraceful behaviour. Rael had brought him in just to make Mjrn look bad. Rael thought she'd be a better temporary leader considering she was chief wood-warder and she didn't like Mjrn period. Mjrn's stupid behaviour with that Janzyn moron had corrupted Alja! Now Alja was carrying the child of a Hume who hadn't even raped her! That was the only excuse for a Viera to get pregnant to a Hume anymore! When there were loads of the damn Reena flooding the Wood, sure, but not in this day and age! There was probably only one Reena left in existence and she was a stupid puppy who had saved three children from a gargoyle Rael herself actually killed! Rael didn't hate Alvyne as much as Myko, but she still disliked the dog with great intensity. Then again, she didn't like anybody except Rush, Kjrs, and Jote. Alja was dead to her. She didn't care if Alja was dead for real. Who could refuse a hot male Viera like Rush and instead mate with a stupid unattractive Hume child?

Mjrn was sending the wood-warders through the town. The pair of idiots couldn't have gotten too far! Janzyn was comforting one of the young Viera who had seen Rael with Rush by telling her strange jokes. At least the jokes were appropriate for a child to hear! Jan wasn't used to telling jokes that weren't raunchy. It was an interesting experience for him. He'd have to tell some of his new dirty jokes to Mjrn later. Hjen said the renovations were going quite well and would be done by March.

"Hey Mjrn? I think Rjga here is doing better. Want to go home and play? Did I ever tell you that you're even sexier when you're bossing all the other Viera around? I'll let you tell me what to do anytime!" Janzyn said happily.

"Grow up for a while Janzyn. I need to make sure Rush is out of here and Rael is punished by the time Jote gets back, not have you sit there asking me what moves you should do this time or whatever. I'd love to play right now, but I can't. None of your temptation. Don't hype yourself up or you'll get hard and I'll have young Viera girls asking me questions they don't need to be asking. You want to help me? Go search my place. I'm not putting it past Rael and Rush to go there and be overly destructive to make it look like we tore the place apart in our latest round of 'mindless' passion so I get in trouble with Jote!" Mjrn hissed.

"Okay. And if I find Rush and Rael, may I do something horrible to Rush for neglecting Slya for the past year? He doesn't pay her enough attention, and it makes her a sad little Viera. I care about her like she's my daughter, and she deserves attention from her real father or she'll grow up screwy. Not that you or your sisters grew up screwy, considering you never knew your father. Can I beat the hell out of Mr. Rush, please?"

"No, you may not. I will. It is my job after all, and Slya is my daughter. Rush will be punished on both counts, you can be sure. Both entering the village and not visiting Slya often enough. Plus there's the fact that Rjga and Dana found him and Rael. Dana, being Rael's daughter, is used to the indecent behaviour going on at home, but Rjga is not."

"Poor Dana. If she doesn't get help, she's going to turn into another Rael."

"Rael is miserable Jan. I feel sorry for her. It's only been in recent years that she's become so twisted. And she can't think straight half the time. Things keep happening to her, and she doesn't know why, so she takes it out on us. She also believes that it's my fault my mother died, so she hates me. The Viera loved Mom. I can't remember her at all, since she died so soon after I was born. I wish I had at least a little memory of her."

"Mjrn, I don't remember my mother either, you know. She died having me. I was lucky Dock found me and raised me as his son. It's only recently that I found my real father, Tran."

"I asked Marl if he knew who my father was, but he said that Mom was with many male Viera. All he knows is it isn't Tran. He made sure to check that out. Tran has been with Jote, but he never knew our mother. He's heard of her, he told me, and he would've liked it if he knew her, but he didn't have the chance. I wish I knew. I don't even know if I have the same father as Jote and Fran. They know that they have the same father, even though they have no idea who he was. Mom told them they had the same father, but she never told them about mine. She never believed it to be important."

Alvyne was getting supplies for Zara. The Viera was impressed with how much the young canine knew already. Her father must've taught her more than even Alvyne thought she knew. The young Reena knew almost as much about Viera anatomy as the Viera themselves! She even knew some things very few Viera knew!
