Wandering

[xxcarter420xx]

Brian slowly made his way into the forest, the trail had ended and all that was left was the lush woods. He pushed his way through a few bushes only to find himself back upon the path. He took his way, observing his surroundings as he walked. The forest was healthy, the sounds of animals could be heard clearly through-out the forest. This seemed any a good place to find something to eat. Brian yawned softly as he continued, his hands buried into his slack pockets. His light blue hair lightly brushing against his face as he walked. He wandered a bit more, waiting for a more opportune moment.

As he continued, a small patch of the forest parted into a small clearing, here he could spot atleast five wild deer. All healthy and stocky, a grin spread across his face. As he lowered himself, he could feel the beast within him becoming restless. He slowly removed his dress shirt, and then his slacks and shoes. He then laid his undergarments upon them. Then he could feel it coming to life. The beast took hold of his conciousness and mind. But he fought for control. Keeping his composure he felt his body begin to transform. His gums and fingers beginning to split open from the bone beginning to grow. His claws and fangs came in pretty easily, but the rest of his body still wasn't ready for the pain. His muscles ripped with tension and his ribs began to expand. His legs and feet flowed with blood as he tried to keep himself quiet, but the growl that slowly emitted from his chest was more than enough to scare his prey from there small feeding grounds.

Brians legs exploded with power as he sprinted across the clearing. The first deer was only fifteen ft from his reach. A simply leap and the animal was his. He sprang into the air, claws stretched as he descended upon the animal. His claws ripped into its back and down towards its hind quarters. Splitting the animal wide he roared in triumph for his victory. As he kneeled down to feed, he gave a quick glance around him for any threats. He then sank his jaws into the lucious meat of his kill.

It had been a boring afternoon. All day Slyvia had done nothing but glide over the forest, searching for any food, or anything that would cause entertainment for her. By now, she was getting grumpy as the hunger clawed in her stomach. So, feeling the flying was just making her hunger grow, she arched her large black wings forward as she went into a steep descent into the trees below.

Landing gracefully on the leaf littered ground, gazing at the minor scratches she had gotten on her arms from branches which she snapped with her landing, she folded her wings back into her spine, making her appear as a normal human. Only that she wasn't, her now crimson irises confirmed this. Known as the devil around a few villages, Slyvia did in fact have a demon inside of her, a creature which urged her to let it take over and consume her thoughts and heart, transforming her into a monster. However, she didn't wish for that, she wanted to remain as human as possible. But, with all the blood that she split, it was becoming increasingly harder for her to do that. Even now, with her hunger growing, she could feel herself slowly being consumed by her demon, a thing which always happened when her resistance to it was low.

Walking through the forest slowly, her black dress like garment blowing in the wind, she tried to sense any living creature, but all she could get were the bugs which she trod on the floor. They would hardly fill her up. She knew she had to find somewhere quick, as by now her demon had gained enough power to whisper to her.

"I know where's there's food Slyvia. . .let me help you. . ." This was said in an almost caring way, like it always did whenever it felt a open in her defense. And, once more, she ignored the offer, although she wondered how long she could keep it up for.

Then, something made her freeze. A scent was carried by the wind, and it smelt promising. Deer, around a mile away. From what she could guess, there seemed to be a few. Knowing that the meat of a fresh dear would be tender and delicious, she hardly needed to even think about it before she was sprinting through the trees towards the delicious scent, her mouth watering as she could almost taste the meat in her mouth. However, along the way, she could feel the presence of another, one that wasn't a deer. She had never felt a presence such as this before, but because it wasn't human, she felt no need to stop. So, dodging each tree with swiftly and gracefully, she allowed some of her hunting instincts to take over. This was some of the demon's power, but not too much that it would allow the creature to take over, but just enough so it made her life a little easier whenever she hunted.

Around 4 minutes later, she found herself on a hill overlooking the clearing where the herd of deer grazed. Five. With all of them, she would not need to eat for a week. This was an opportunity she wasn't going to pass up. However, just as she had once more taken out her wings, she paused. The presence from before had revealed itself, and what she saw surprised her. It appeared to be some sort of large wolf, but it was different. She couldn't put her finger on it.

Narrowing her blood red eyes, feeling complete resentment as she saw it kill her meal, she ignored the fact that it could be stronger then her and with a quick beat of her wings, she glided towards the clearing.

Landing once more with grace, her presence making the other deer sprint off into the forest, she wasn't alarmed or disappointed by this. She would be able to find them again. However, she needed to deal with this before. She wanted to hunt in peace. So, spreading out her wings, she held out a pale arm as she pointed an accusing finger at the unknown beast. Then, with a voice which was dripping with irritation, she said.

"Oi, who the hell are you?"

[xxcarter420xx]

Brian continued to dig his teeth into the bloody flesh, but suddenly he sensed another presence. Rising to his hind legs he glared upon the hill. The figure itself was very alluring, but the aura surrounding it threatened his senses. A low growl emitted from his chest as he glared up towards the figure. Her voice rang out along the clearing. Her voice clear and smooth.

" I really dont think it matters, im no threat to you. Im only feeding, theres plenty of other food around here. So move along... "

His irriation rang out with his voice as he roared. Watching the figure he stepped a few feet forward, putting his meal behind him.

" Im only passing through looking for a place to rest... "

Watching the woman, he realized he had no idea what he was dealing with, he had only seen auras like hers back when he was a pup, only a few days after he had been re-born, a small ritual had gone wrong, releasing the gaurdians of there territory upon them.

His fur blowing in the wind, the tattoos upon his arm changing his fur different colors, he stood tall tensing and waiting for the woman to make another move.

[boomdeboom]

"No threat to me, is that what you think?"

Saying this with obvious sarcasm, a smirk playing on her lips she took a step forward. This creature was odd to say the least, but with an attitude like that, it seemed as if she could have some fun. She was bored, on top of being starving. Sensing her curiosity, her demon encouraged her, offering some of its power to slay the not a very nice person in a second. But, knowing the price of using any power, she ignored, as per usual.

Placing a hand on her hip, her brow raised, she said softly.
"I wouldn't talk with that sort of tone, bastard. I could kill you in a second if I wanted, you should treat someone like me with respect." Although she hated being branded as a devil, her nickname, she often used this sort of taunting tactic whenever she wanted to have fun with someone. Making sure that he would take her seriously, she raised her petite right hand, and with a flick, caused some of the trees beside them to fall to the ground, their barks slashed in half by a mysterious force. The reason behind the trees falling, a spurge of power which was in her veins to shoot out like a giant sword. Without to help of her demon, she had a few tricks up her sleeve, such as this.

Turning her crimson irises back to the man, she examined him silently. He did appear to be a werewolf, although she didn't think they existed. She had never met one before, only hearing rumors of them from passing villages, which she didn't tend to believe instantly, as she was rather used to having rumors spread about herself. Once apparently she slaid a whole kingdom, laughing as she did so. Needless to say that rumor caused her to laugh for a while.. This of course made her curiosity rise quite a lot as her smirk grew slightly, showing her extended canines, something that always happened when she needed to eat.

Giving her wings a large beat, her feathers twitching with anticipation, she let out a soft laugh as she saw the werewolf tensing for battle. With almost childlike grace, something that suited her young features, she walked around in a circle, her gaze never leaving him. Then, after a few moments of walking, she stopped again, and with the smirk gone from her lips, she narrowed her irises, saying with no hint of sarcasm.

"So you really think you can win a fight, against me?" Chuckling, her demon got quite a lot of amusement from her behavior as it murmured death threats to the unknown creature, a bloodthirsty grin growing onto its shadowed face, which she could see in her mind's eye.

[xxcarter420xx]

A grin spread across Brians face as he watched the woman. He knew she was curious, he could tell by the scent wafting through the air. She was a strong one though, and egotistical at that. Brian stayed his ground, letting her rant and brag. He had no need to do either. He knew his abilities, and he knew them well. During his training, he had always been a favored for his unique fighting styles, always more fluid than that brute strength brother of his. He could feel his blood pulsing, the power flowing through his muscles as his spirit readied him for the battle. He could feel his stamina growing again, his reflexes tightening as his vision increased. Suddenly it felt as if he could hear everything in the forest,

" You continue to talk, why dont you come find a little bit about the unknown... "

He tensed himself, digging his claws into the dirt for a bit of leverage when the time came to move. The trees around him suddenly fell as if something was coming behind him, but he sensed nothing. He stayed his ground, keeping his eyes upon hers, unflinching. A low growl emitted from his chest, he knew of her kind. Demons always came in different shapes and forms though, and they were never the same in strength. He rose to his feet, filling his stance as he prepared. As she started walking towards him he decided it was time to move, she circled him for a moment and then she stopped, and he rolled his eyes softly as she began to speak once again.

Brian suddenly eyed her wings. He knew she would be strongly weakened if her wings were disabled. He could keep her upon the ground, where she would be his. Brian began to pace his breathing, calming his senses as he started shifting his feet, getting ready to launch himself. He already knew his plan, if he could get to her feet, he would be fine from there. He only had to get a hold of her. Even if she took off into the sky, he would survive the fall after he dropped her. He had no intentions on killing the woman, only to disable long enough for him to get away, or simply knock her out. One of the two. He had no intentions on taking unnecessary lives, but if it came down to it. He would end this quickly.

" Enough of your damn talking.....your annoying pestilence is over with!! "

He roared loudly as he launched himself towards her at lightning speed, his claws spread wide as he shot straight for her torso. So that just in case she took off quickly, he would have a couple feet underneath her to grab on.

[boomdeboom]

She was surprised to actually see him challenge her. The feathers on her wings rustled with the thought of a battle. It had been quite some time since she had found someone quite so interesting, so she was eager, and didn't back down. He also pissed her off. Mostly because he had called her annoying, something which irritated her immensely. So she had to make him pay.

"Kill the brat. . .let him know not to underestimate us." Whispering this, her demon pushed some of its power against her, but she refused to take it. This little wolf body would be nothing she couldn't handle, she had dealt with much worse. To her, this was just for fun, she didn't want to kill him. Yet. She was curious about him, and since werewolves were apparently rather rare, she wished to seek more about him. A way of doing this was to see what battle techniques he used, although she guessed that he would use agile and powerful movements, what with the claws on his hands. Little did he knew she was also quick and smooth.

Rolling her shoulders to ready herself, she then got into a fighting stance. Spreading her legs out, along with her wings, it was obvious that the first place that wolf boy would aim for is her wings. It was what her competitors usually did. But, unknown to him, she had a trick up her sleeve if he did just that. As her eyes turned a dark crimson, she watched his movements, and didn't even flinch as he jumped into the air. What a stupid move. With a sneer of his lips, she raised her leg, and with a quick movement, leaned back onto one leg as she brought her up other one. Then, she kicked him straight in the chest. She put all her power into that one kick, so she was expecting him to fly back, since usually this made even the strongest of creatures fall back a few meters.

[xxcarter420xx]

Brian took the blow a little rough, he felt a few of the bones within his chest begin to splinter, but he held tough. Using her own inertia to throw her he planted a heel and spun as he kick continued its full blow, he continued her movement Digging his claws deep into her calves, he threw her hard.

Letting his claws drag threw her flesh as she left his grasp, he instantly threw himself in her direction. His mind was flying a mile at a minute, but everything around him seemed to slow. He had always been in touch with his inner peace. That gift helped him tremendously, letting his muscles slow smoothly with his movements, almost as if a liquid controlled his movements. He could feel the energy pulsing around him. The attack would be horrific if it landed as it should. He only planned on wounding the woman, maybe put her in a more cooperative position.

[boomdeboom]

With a smile as she felt underneath her foot that his ribcage was beginning to splinter, she was rather surprised for him to attack back. She hadn't expected this, so she had no way of blocking it. So, when she felt the pain run through her nerves as she felt her delicate flesh being ripped apart from his claws, she felt a rush of adrenaline pump through. Anyone who harmed her, well they needed to be taught a lesson.

Flying through the air, she angled her body in a way so that her wings would catch the flying wind and so within moments her wings gave a heavy beat and in a swift fluid motion she flew up into the air. Another few beats to angle herself, she saw the werewolf already in the air. He reacted quickly as he threw her, too bad she was just as quick. Beating her wings once more, she threw herself higher into the air and then snapped her wings closed, causing her the fall to the ground. Aiming for his spine, she placed her legs together. If she could just aim for the middle of his spinal area, he would crumble to the floor. And what she would do to him then, well she hadn't decided yet. But lets just say she was going to get her revenge for the scars he left her, scars that were already causing her precious crimson blood to drip out.

[xxcarter420xx]

Feeling the wind rush across his back Brian sensed her rising above him, he continued his leap. But spun and planted his fingers deep into the ground. Then using his own inertia, launched himself into the air towards her. He watched as she rocketed towards him, but launched past her. He only needed to regain his ground before another attack came his way. As he leveled himself in the air, he felt his ribs explode with pain. Hyper-tension almost caused him to cripple. But holding his composure he landed gracefully upon the ground.

He looked upon the small opening, watching the woman closely. " I see no point in us continuing, watching us fight this way, i sense it wouldnt end for a nice amount of time. So instead of dancing as we are for hours, how about we simply go our seperate ways, or maybe you can point me into the direction of town.. " He said this in a calm voice, no aggression. He could feel his ribs stitching themselves back together already, if she continued he atleast got a chance to regain his breathe.

[boomdeboom]

[Bah, sorry for the super late reply ; A;]

Again, not expecting that he could possibly avoid her attack, she was caught off guard as she retracted her legs back so that they wouldn't get stuck into the earth, as the power and speed from them would have done just that. But even so, she couldn't avoid the painful landing as she landed on her shoulder. With her body in a slump for a few seconds, she soon picked herself up, beating her wings a few times to check if they were uninjured, which luckily, them seemed to be fine, although her shoulder seemed to be slightly fractured as with every movement it shot pain through her body. But she wasn't worried. A few days of rest would have it heal.

Casting her gaze towards the male, she frowned. He really didn't want to fight her, hmm? Although she didn't believe it for one second, a trust issue she had with nearly everyone she met, she couldn't help but snort with laughter as she heard that he wanted to go to a village. It seemed he didn't realize how stupid that would be.

"You want to go to a town? With humans? Wow, you really are retarded." Giggling, she pointed a finger towards him, a sneer crawling up onto her lips, her pearly white teeth revealed.

"If you go anywhere near a town in this area, you'll be eaten alive. People around this part of the woods have a thing with supernaturals." Speaking from experience, she brought back her hand and strolled over towards the rotting carcus of the deer which had been killed by him. Bending down, she ripped off a fresh piece and then bit into it, blood splattering onto her cheeks and dripping down her fingers. Chewing the rather tough meat, she again turned towards the werewolf. Spreading out her wings, something she did to make her look bigger, although it did make her slightly embarrassed of how old this tradition was in animals, she said once more.

"As much as I would love to see you get chased out with pitchforks and torches, I'll warn you anyway. Special people are at the gate of a town around a mile away from this spot, and they can somehow sniff out the supernatural like you and me. Sure, if you sneak in, you're sorted, but you won't be able to." Pausing to take another bite from the strip of meat which was dangling on the end of her frail bloodstained fingers, she then continued, not caring if her mouth was full of the bloody flesh.

"'course there is another village a day away from here again, but well it's not much better then the other village. People are starting to get aware of us, and being stupid weak humans, they're scared, and so they'll kill them.

So I'd say just go the f**k back where you came from, you wouldn't be able to survive a week out here, you need to know you're way around. Plus there are people a lot worse then me out in the deep parts of the woods. So go on, little puppy, scoot." Speaking as if she were talking to a small child, she gave a smirk as she stuffed the rest of the strip into her mouth, licking off the blood. Then, as if to show that this carcus now belonged to her, she sat down beside it and began to strip off more pieces of meat, taking off the fur. However, she still kept an eye on him. She didn't know what he would decide to do, but for some reason, she doubted he would go back to wherever he came from.
