WARNING: Intense and graphic fight scene in this chapter. Also, lots of gore.
Enjoy :)
Natalie and Yeyinde were currently hanging out in the living room. At the moment, he was trying to teach her words in his language.
In which, he found himself having a hard time keeping a straight face, because her pronunciations of the words were just downright atrocious. And he was finding it hard not to laugh.
She huffed, as he laughed at her latest mispronunciation of one of the words.
"It's not pronounced 'ditto', Natalie. It's dto." He said, between laughs.
Natalie rolled her eyes, "I already tried to warn you ahead of time that I may not be able to pronounce some of these words perfectly because my mouth isn't shaped like yours."
"Yes, but c'mon. Dto isn't that hard to pronounce." He said, still having some laughter in his voice.
Before she could say anything else, the chiming bell went off, indicting a visitor at the front door.
"We expecting company? And at this hour?" She inquires.
Yeyinde shook his head, "No, but I'll go see who it is."
He got up from the couch and approached the door. He looked through a scanner and was surprised to see...Larja-Thwei?
'The hell does he want?' Yeyinde wondered.
Still, if he was here, it must be something pretty damn important. So, he decided to unlock the door and let him in. The door slid open to show none other than the reddish colored yautja himself.
Yeyinde furrowed his brows, "Larja, what brings you here at this hour?"
"I need to come in and speak to you and Natalie. It is urgent." Larja demanded.
Yeyinde silently studied him for a moment, then allowed the other young hunter in.
Natalie was surprised to see who came through the door.
"Larja? What are you doing here?" She asks.
He snorted, and activated his translator.
"Nice to see you too, ooman. But I'm here on important business. It's something I must speak to both you and Yeyinde about." Larja said.
"Did...did something happen?" She asks.
Larja went to sit on a cushioned chair across from Natalie who was on the couch. Yeyinde went and sat beside her.
"What is it?" Yeyinde asks.
"What I'm about to tell you and show you may be alarming. But you both need to know. And before you ask, I already went to the Elders with the information I obtained from this conversation." Larja stated.
Natalie and Yeyinde looked to each other, before shifting their gaze back to Larja.
"Conversation? What conversation?" Yeyinde asked.
Larja sighed, "It may be better I just go straight ahead and show you the recording. Just keep in mind, despite our differences I still never wish either of you harm nor any harm to come upon you. And I was completely against this whole shit show from the start."
The reddish yautja finished there, then pressed a few buttons on his wrist gauntlet and showed them the recording.
By the end of it, Natalie was on the verge of tears and Yeyinde was boiling over with anger.
"That fucking bitch! I'll kill her if she touches Natalie!" Yeyinde spat.
"Calm down, hunt brother. As I said before, I showed this to the Elders already before I came here. They are making a decision on what to do about her as we speak." Larja assured him.
Natalie shook her head, "She's crazy. How could anyone think to do such a thing? That's...just so fucking horrible."
"Because she is obsessed with Yeyinde. Always has been. And we all pretty much knew it from the start. We just never realized she was this unstable. It's clear, she is a danger to not only Natalie, but probably everyone else in this clan as well. And yautja who are a major threat to us like that, are swiftly dealt with." Larja added.
Yeyinde opened his mouth to say something, when something big and powerful slammed into his front door. It created a loud bang and warped the door. The three of them shot up to standing position and Yeyinde and Larja came to stand in front of Natalie.
After the third hit, the door caved in and a large orangish blur barreled through.
Natalie clasped a hand over her mouth and her eyes widened. It was Inu.
The large female was huffing and puffing a little and when she slowly tilted her face up to meet them, there was murderous intent in those eyes. They also appeared to be bloodshot.
Natalie couldn't smell it, but the males could. This female yautja was completely drunk of her ass and pissed off.
"Hello, lover." She hissed at Yeyinde.
He snarled, "How dare you break into my home! Leave now! Before I call the clan Arbitrators over here and have them drag you out!"
"Yeyinde, take note. She's very inebriated right now. I don't think it's wise to piss her off further than she already is." Larja hissed under his breath at the other young hunter.
No sooner did those words leave his mouth, Inu let out a bellowing roar. Then she came barreling at the males.
Yeyinde quickly looked over his shoulder and down at Natalie.
"Natalie run! Quickly! Get out of here!" He yelled.
She didn't want to leave Yeyinde to this psycho bitch, but she had to think about her baby's safety first.
Natalie ran out of the living room area.
Inu saw this and redirected her charge to go after the ooman female. But she didn't get very far before both Larja and Yeyinde slammed into her and shoved her into the metal wall that lined the stairs.
"Dammit, stop this! You're only making it worse for yourself!" Larja yelled at her.
She ignored him though. And the large, enraged female grasped the sides of both the males' heads and roughly slammed them together.
It was enough to stun them and hurt like hell, before she roughly pushed them back. Yeyinde landing on top of Larja as they fell to the floor.
Yeyinde was the first to recover and went at the female with a roar.
Inu's head snapped around and she saw him coming at her. She held her arms out in front of her to stop his charge. But the enraged male knocked her arms away and slammed her back against the wall.
He then started to punch her repeatedly in the stomach and face in rapid succession.
Larja saw what was happening, he's seen Yeyinde fight like this before. It's the side of him that other hunters like himself didn't want to fuck with in the ring.
The hits were devasting, but in her highly inebriated state, Inu was quite numb to the blows. Despite the fact she heard a couple cracking sounds here and there as he bashed a couple of her ribs in.
Rage shot through her, and she was able to shove Yeyinde back and backhand him hard across the face. There was a snap as one of his mandibles broke and he flew across the room into the couch.
That's when Larja got up and went for her again. Inu raised her fist and took a swing at him. But it was quite slow and sloppy due to her inebriation.
Larja ducked the incoming fist and came up with an uppercut to her chin.
Inu's head snapped back from the force and some blood spurted from her mouth. Normally, a hit like this would've either knocked a yautja out or killed them.
But she was drunk and in full on rage mood, all hyped up on rage and adrenaline.
She came and headbutted Larja. The reddish yautja male saw stars when this happened, and blood spurted from a gash in the center of his head from the impact.
He stumbled back shaking his head, trying to shake the pain away.
Inu then punched him across the face, knocking him to the ground. Where he stayed and struggled to refocus his vision and get back up.
She turned around and took a step into the hallway, to go find the ooman female. When something hit her from behind. Yeyinde had plowed into her from behind, knocking her to the floor onto her stomach.
He then grabbed a fistful of her tresses and started to slam her head repeatedly into the floor.
Her bright neon green blood shot out in different directions from each forcible hit. And her energy was finally starting to drop. But she still fought to get him off of her.
She used her slightly shaky arms to push herself up and throw him off of her back. Then she turned around and wrapped her hand around Yeyinde's throat.
Inu started to slowly constrict his air way while she held him up and off the ground. He let out a choking sound and grasped her wrist and forearm.
She pulled him in close.
"It didn't have to come to this, Yeyinde. All you had to do was be mine. You still can be. Just let me get rid of the little ooman bitch that's been clouding your mind. And then we can finally be together." Inu declared.
Not long after she pulled back howling in pain. Her other hand went to grasp the area where her right eye used to be. Yeyinde had slashed her across the face with his sharp talons and ended up gouging her eye out.
Her pained howls turned into a vicious snarl. And she violently hurled him back down the hall and across the room. He went crashing into the mangled door with sharp jagged edges.
It mangled and tore into his back as he went through it.
Inu turned around and stumbled down the hall.
It led her to the kitchen area. And that is where she found Natalie. The small ooman female was near one of the counters and had one of her hands up in front of her.
"Please, don't do this." She said between pants.
Inu couldn't understand her words because she never switched on her translator. But she still knew begging when she recognized it. And she let out a demented cackle.
"Begging won't do you good you little bitch. I'm going to enjoy killing you. But not before I rip that abomination out of your womb right in front of you and crush it in my hands." She declared.
Then on unsteady feet, she came at Natalie.
"Stop!" She screamed.
Then pulled a large carving knife out from behind her back. And when Inu was within distance, Natalie held the knife in both hands over her head and swung it down with all her might.
Inu had her right arm extended out, with the intention of swiping at her. But her movements have become slow and clumsy due to her injuries and drunkenness.
Natalie was quicker and plunged the long, very sharp knife right into the large female's chest. The hit was powerful enough that the blade came out her back.
The female yautja's eyes widened in disbelief. She slowly looked down to see the knife protruding from her chest.
Blood quickly started to fill her lungs and bubble up her throat. Then it exited her mouth in tiny bright green rivulets. She gargled and started to choke on it.
Inu stumbled back, then her eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she went crashing down to the ground.
Not a moment later, Yeyinde stumbled in. And was surprised to see Inu on the ground and saw what appeared to be one of his kitchen knives protruding out the upper part of her back.
Blood started to pool out from the body, coating the kitchen floor.
He then heard a sob and looked up in time to see Natalie begin to cry and slowly slid down the counter wall and sat on the floor with her back against the wall.
Yeyinde quickly went to her and dropped down on his knees in front of her. He carefully pulled Natalie into his arms and held her as she cried. Even in his banged-up state, he still found enough energy to purr to her in comfort.
Larja came limping in a few moments later. He spotted Yeyinde on the floor by one of the counters holding his frightened mate. Then he looked down and saw Inu bleeding out all over the floor.
She wasn't moving at all, and he noted the knife sticking out of her back.
'Damn, she filleted the bitch, good for her.' Larja thought.
He approached the pair, spitting on Inu's body as he went.
"I have just informed the Elders and Arbitrators of what happened. They will be here any minute to collect the body and offer you assistance if you need it." Larja informed them.
Yeyinde looked over his shoulder briefly and nodded at the other yautja male.
"Thank you, Larja." He replied.
He knew he owed his rival big time for this. Had he not dropped by to alert them, they would've never known and as much as he hates to admit it, he probably wouldn't have able to take down the large, enraged female on his own without Larja-Thwei's assistance.
"No problem." Larja said.
He would've congratulated Natalie for taking out the bad blood. But he could see she was in too much of a fragile state to fully appreciate it right now. So, he didn't say anything.
Yeyinde helped her up and off the floor and the three of them walked out to the living room to wait for the authorities.
It was scary as hell, and they almost died from this deadly confrontation. But at least now, Inu was dead, and she could no longer pose a threat to them.
Their nightmare was finally over.
Until Next Time ;)
