Mato growls at Zoe.

*Forget that!* She takes off running. Zoe yells at Lazer.

"LAZER!" He comes running up, and looks at Mato's running form. He looks back up at Zoe.

*I'll be right back.* He says just before he runs after Mato, growling.

Mato's running as fast as she can away from the vampire and crazed werewolf.

*Get back here!* She hears someone shout in her head. She growls at the voice.

*No!* She shouts. Suddenly, Mato gets tackled to the ground with someone growling on top of her.

*I told you to stop!* Lazer growls in her head. She looks up at him.

*And I refused!* She says back. He growls, and snaps his teeth mere centimeters away from her face.

*You do NOT refuse what I tell you to do!* Lazer growls. Mato looks up at him with defiance.

*Oh...yes I do!* She shouts in his head.

*Sure about that?* He questions, sounding cocky.

*Completely! I am not obedient to anyone. You do not own me...and neither does anyone else!* She says after she thought about it for a minute.

*Zoe does, and you will listen to what she tells you to do.* Lazer commands. Mato growls at him.

*Why should I?* She questions. He gets closer to her.

*Because I'm telling you to.* He says. Mato sighs, and stands back up, pushing him off her in the process. She looks at him, and rolls her eyes.

*I can see this conversation isn't going anywhere..* She sighs, and he smiles.

*Are you ready to surrender yourself?* Lazer questions, looking at her skeptically. She grins at him.

*For now, but don't think I won't try to rebel again...eventually...* She says. He shakes his head.

*Yeah, well.* Lazer transforms back into him human self. As does Mato. When he looks at her, his mouth drops open at how beautiful she is. She looks at him.

"What?" She asks. He looks at her face.

"Nothing.." He walks over to her, and moves a strip of her hair out of her face. She steps back, and a look of confusion crosses her face.

"What do you want?" She asks, and watches as lust crosses his face.

"You." He says as if it's nothing. She looks at him.

"Aren't we blunt." She mutters. He snakes his arms over her shoulder, and leads her back to the house. Before they got back, he stops walking.

"I suppose we should transform back so that you don't get punished." He says. She looks at him with hurt in her eyes.

"Why only me?" She asks. He looks at her, and smiles.

"Just because." He says. He waits for her to transform back. When she does, he also transforms. He grabs her harness. She looks at him with a hint of anger in her face.

*Why do that? I'm not going anywhere.* She mentally questions. He looks at her.

*Safety. Just to make sure you don't try to run again.* He explains. She sighs.

*All right.* She whispers as they stop in front of Zoe. Zoe looks very pissed.

"Well, well, well, looks like you aren't going anywhere soon." Zoe says. Mato growls at her, only to yelp when Lazer bites her.

*Damn you!* She growls. He looks at her.

*Don't threaten her!* He commands as she turns a pissed off look at him.

*I wasn't...I was expressing my anger* She explains. He shakes his head.

*Yeah right.* He mentally murmurs. He rolls his eyes at her, and looks at Zoe. *You know, if you got to know her, you might like her.* He says. She shakes her head.

*I don't plan on getting to know a vampire.* Mato says, practically spitting venom. She growls at him.

*So you know.* He says with a grin.

*Any Lycan...or at least those of us raised in the wild can...* He takes a step towards her.

*Is that a fact?* He questions. She stands her ground, and flattens her ears.

*Yes!* She growls as her goes to walk past Zoe, but he won't let go of her harness. *Let go!* She growls.

*Nope.* He says with a cocky grin. She flattens her ears again, and turns her head to look at him.
