Cold Blood
Gabriel spoke to Rafe after his shift was over. Telling how important it was to not miss another day or his ass was going to be fired and looking for a new job. That it wasn't below him to fire his own son to show the others a lession. After that Rafe was let go and to do his own free things, Gabriel had some other business to attend to. Off into his expensive silver car he rode across town, closing the door and walked across the street. The door was open and he stepped inside and started up the stairs to the upper level.
"Astrid." He said sternly, looking around with his dark eyes, smelling the air. It was as it had always been. "We need to talk."
Astrid sighed from her side of the door and stepped around and looked into Gabriel's dark eyes. She felt a shiver run up her spine as she new what was going to happen. He came to tell her he was leaving, that it was time for his new younger wife. "What is it?"
Gabriel looked at her sternly and nod gently, "You know what year it is, what time it is. It's now that I must leave you, for the better of the pack. It is over between us Astrid. I'm sorry." He said it with little feeling in his voice and no emotion in his eyes. He turned his back and walked away, becoming shorter as he walked down the stairs and back to his fancy car.
Astrid stood there and shook, her knees became weak. She had
prepared herself for this, all week, from the start of the year she
knew it was going to happen, and still it was a painful as if it were
something she never thought would happen. Slowly she was able to
barely lift each foot off the ground until she made it to her bed and
collapsed on it. Astrid lay there for a few minutes and took a few
deep breaths trying to steady her emotions and her mind, but it
failed. Her eyes pricked in the backs with salt water and she crawled
to her pillow for comfort. She cried heavily into. Thank God that the
boys were out partying and Vivian was out for the night.
Rafe
walked through town and took a deep breath. He smiled at the familiar
smell. Tonight was going to fun for him. He gazed around the area and
smiled, no one had followed him, not even his brothers. He was alone
on this side of the city, a place where no other Loup Garoux were.
His knees gave and then his legs forced straight. He was high in the
air and now on a balcony. He laughed as he took out a key and left it
in the pot, the window was already unlocked.
The Loup Garoux opened the window and jumped silently to the other side of the room, a smile on his face, now he waited.
The breeze blew stronger and in the morning hours, the air became cold. Sleeping under a sheet the girl in the room chilled and woke up. She looked around and saw the window open and walked over to close it. As she looked down at the lock, she saw the key to apartment sitting inside the bowl of dirt with a little tree nestled down. She panicked and looked around, and saw Rafe standing the corner of the room.
"Fear..." Rafe said as he took in a deep breath. "It smells good." She jumped down off his little perch and landed on the floor, "Was I not worthy of your respect? Was I just some toy you could screw with and toss away?" He growled gently, "Maybe you'd have more respect if you knew who I really was." He smiled and jumped off a chair and across the room. When he landed he was a wolf. His red,white and brown fur shook as he jumped off the table he had landed on and onto the floor. He snarled, moving closer to the girl, that was speechless and scared on the ground. His canine and incisors where shining white and ready to ready to rip. His muzzled opened and he lunged forward fangs sinking into her tender flesh of the chest and claws at the shoulders. Soon after a fatal blow to the throat and he was gone. He opened the window again and was out into the night to find shelter and a place to clean himself free of the human bitch's blood.
Nakera sat in her room, in a silky gown. She read a book called Bad Blood by L.A. Banks. It was a book she had taken with her from America, since she still liked to read in her own language, even if she didn't have the liberty to speak it as often as she liked. (yeah it's a real book XD). She was in depth of the book right now, she'd started reading it the day before and was more then half done with it.
A sounds startled her and and closed the book. Rising from her bed, she picked up a baseball bat that had a dusty spot next to her bed, since she didn't use it much. Nikki started to slowly move around inside the apartment, keeping away from the creaky boards. There was a soft sound coming from in front of her, it sounded like feet, and then after that came the sound of a low growl. Nikki was scared, what could be in her house that was making a growling, but still almost silent.
In a black of black, her vision came back slowly, but her body didn't miss a beat. Something had pounced her and it was heavy. Something had dug it's way into her thigh and she could feel the warmth of blood running down her leg. She gave a good shove and pushed what was on her off and it slid over hitting into the frame of the door. Nakera got up and moved into the bedroom into the light of the lamp. She stood, still holding the bat, and bleeding, scared shitless.
Slowly the black figure started to move and returned to it's feet. It was large... wolf... blood was around it's mouth. It must be rabid or something since it killed someone already, and now it was after her. Nakera held her bat at the ready, but the wolf didn't attack her this time. It walked into the light of the lamp and stood there, with a light growl. It's head was down, but it's teeth weren't bared. It held a defensive stance instead of moving around, pacing, or readying to leap again.
The first to move after several tense moments was the canine on the opposite side of the bed. He had stopped growling and wasn't in any kind of attack stance. He leaped onto the bed and licked it's chops and sat down, and bobbed his head gently. Nikki looked at the wolf and took a deep breath and looked into it's eyes. She noticed something there. It was a blankness she'd had seen in the eyes of the other animals, a consciousness that didn't appear in the eyes of other animals. Yet she still refused to lower the bat. "What the hell do you want?" she sneered gently, more sounding angry now.
The wolf lowered his head a little and used a paw to gently cover his nose a little and then looked up at her from the corner of his eyes. It jumped off the bed holding a pillow and stood in the middle of the floor. In a light the wolf changed from beast to man in an instant. It was Rafe, standing naked in front of her, covered in blood, holding the very pillow over his groin.
"Do you mind putting the bat down..." He said gently, sounding a little agitated.
Nakera growled gently...
End
Okie Dokie... Lets hear what ya'll think of it XD. It's probably not the best thing you've ever read, but hey. Writing is a working and learning business, we all know that. We aren't born immaculate writers... well not all of us, and i'm not one of the few.
