Running, Silence, and Flowers[James]

[Rose Decumbry]

[OCC:: Fang if you mind this being here, just delete it.]

Rose was walking through the area, just done feeding, on a little kiddies neck. She cracked her own neck,stretching it out. She didn't realize she had a small trickle of blood running down the corner of her mouth. She sniffed the air,and smelled dog. She heard them talking too.She smiled.

Interesting.She took several steps foward towards them,and listened to their conversation. The one with the darker voice had killed vampires, and that upset Rose greatly. She snarled from the back of her throat,and had to use every ounce of resistance she could muster,from not going up to him and sucking him dry.

Instead,she just took a deep breath,and listened more. Spying was fun,,she had been hanging alone,so that she wouldn't get held down,she liked playing this game with their heads. She squatted down,resting on one knee.

(( Not a problem to me, how about you, Inora? But Rose, this thread is happening before the alliance was broken, so if you could just edit your post?))

James looked away from Kyla, mulling her words over. Yeah, she cared now, she said she would help him if he was ever in trouble, but what if later he got in too deep. What if he ended up betraying the entire pack. Would she be so forgiving then? James told a few other wolves about Litte. A lot of them seemed just ok with it. A lot more of them worried for him. If he ever told Patrick this, he'd have his head.

It was confusing, though. What if he put his complete trust in his pack families words? What if he truly believed they would help him with anything? And then when he betrayed them and they all turned their back on him, who would he have? Just Litte? He knew just Litte would be enough, but he loved his family oh so much. Who would stand up for this lone wolf when that day would come.

Looking back at Kyla now, his eyes were clouded with these thoughts. "I promise I will tell you if I need your help," he said. But what about Kyla. Would she keep her promise? The smell of blood came first, and then the stench of vampire. James' back stiffened and he glanced around. She was hiding, spying probably. Was she one of Xavier's? He made a twitch of his wrist to warn Kyla. He didn't know if he should just grab the vamp, or wait. It was up to the older wolf, he was just a pup who didn't know if she wanted a scene.

((Yeah, I already okayed it. The more the merrier right!))

Kyla nodded curtly. "Good." She hoped that he would never have to live up to his promise, that he would never get into enough trouble that she would need to help him. She had no idea how far she would go through with her end, she figured that she had made a commitment to James, she would keep it as best she could, but one never knows until faced with the exact situation.

She smelled the vampire at the same moment James did and scowled immediately, her entire body tensing as her lips drew back over her teeth, exposing them in her anger. She noticed James' twitch and figured he was waiting for her to make the first move. She cursed her decision to leave her staff at home, she would be more vulnerable without it.

Kyla crossed her arms over her chest and glared in the direction of the vampire. "We know you're here, come out where we can see you and we might spare your pathetic excuse for a life." Her voice was hard and the loathing in it was evident. Her body fairly shook from the effort not to attack the undead scum that very second.

[Rose Decumbry]

Rose laughed and stood up, her laughing like a ringing bell. She threw her strong arms into the night sky. "I guess I've been caught." She said and took a step foward, to see their reaction. Her eyes danced to their faces, waiting,watching their reaction.

She growled and her upper lip pulled backwards, revealing the gleam of the moon against her fangs. "You two dogs shouldn't be to hard to get rid of." She scowled,and a low but threatning growl emitted from the back of her throat. "Call my life pahtetic one more time,you wet dog and you'll be begging me to throw you a bone."She growled,seething through her teeth.

[*James Silvius]

Kyla tastefully insulted the vampire. James' expression was stony. His arms were crossed and his legs apart, forming a "V". The stance he took up screamed, mess with me, and I'll tear your dead heart out. He was serious while the vampire seemed to be having the time of her life.

When she revealed herself, James didn't change his expression, but he did marvel at her pretty dead body. Such a shame that she was a corpse. At any rate, Litte was much prettier. His eyes shifted to Kyla when the vampire pulled out some insults of her own. James was not going to stand here and let this happen.

"Can we help you in any way?" he growled darkly.

[Rose Decumbry]

Rose glowered at him she had seen him staring. She looked him once over,and smelled Wet dog all over him. She sniffed in and almost gagged. The smell was almost overwhelming. Instead she just smiled and flashed her fangs.

"I thought I smelled a horrible stench and decided to check it out."She laughed. She noticed a certain familiarity about his scent.. She smelled one of her own on him. She immdeitaly went into a crouched position, barring her fangs and scrunching her fangs up. "What have you done?"she asked darknening her tone.

[*James Silvius]

Suddenly, Kyla wasn't here anymore. It seemed that way to James anyway. He completely forgot about the wolf who he promised to be honest with and ask her for help. Now his full attention was on the vampire who was very angry with him in such a short amount of time. Glaring and scowling now, James cursed himself. He had to be careful about Litte's scent! It was just so strong on his skin.

James crouched low himself, getting ready to spring. He was debating if he should do this as a wolf or human. The girl didn't seem very muscular. He was never one for hitting girls anyway, but she was threatening him. "I have done nothing that concerns you, bloodsucker. Leave now," he warned her.

[Rose Decumbry]

Rose watched him, her eyes dancing like fire. Instead of their steel grey usual ones,now they were fiery red. " I don't believe you" Her tone, was dark, this one vampire was very pissed off. She flipped her over her shoulder. Sne snarled in the back of her throat.

" I smell her, you have..an enduring relationship with her?..."She snarled. A Vampire,let along possibly her clan, and a werewolf. She didn't understand it, It confused her, that love was found in the strangest place. She sighed,and regained her snarling badside. " I don't want to fight you. I want you to explain to me how this happened." She released her crouch, and let her fangs be hidden once more. She looked at him, then smirked. ' I'm stronger then I look "

[*James Silvius]

James sighed. Why couldn't they just lie down and expose their bellies. Did they always have to make things difficult for him? This vampire was a nobody to him. Hardly a threat. She was just a big bluffer. The sooner she was ashes, the better. James slid his slender fingers into his pocket and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it threateningly. No, he didn't smoke, this was his weapon.

"What I do with my spare time is none of your concern. Why are you so touchy about this subject anyway? Why do you care?" he accused. That pretty body could do a lot more damage than he was letting on. He didn't show his fear, though, he fought bitches like these all the time.

[Rose Decumbry]

Rose winced at his mental abuse. She softened a little bit, and frowned. She saw him pull out his lighter, her eyes flickered with pain, then ager and hatred. she had to hold back her tongue on this one though, she was already in a sand pit of trouble anyways. She sighed and resumed her crouch, and snarling upfront.

" If you plan on using that on me, you better do it quick "She said. Her eyes flickered across him, he seemed on the smaller type, but when he transformed then she would be lost. She raised her eyebrow, and anticipated, or tried to think through each move or attack.

[*James Silvius]

She was thinking. James could see it with the flicker in her eyes. Sizing him up, taking in her surroundings, judging the best tactic. James didn't want to fight this useless scum. He wasn't in the mood. He just wanted to go back to his conversation with Kyla. What the hell was she gaining from this? James gave her a vicious glare and then shoved the lighter back in his pocket. He stood from his crouch and took on a relaxed posture.

"I don't want to fight you. I'll win anyway. If you value your worthless life, then leave this place right now. Innocent people can get hurt and I am not risking that," he growled. He stared her down with big brown eyes. He rolled his shoulders and cracked his neck, loosening up just in case she still wanted to challenge him.

[Rose Decumbry]

Rose let out a little laugh. One moment ago, he had wanted a fight. She glowered at him still, she wasn't going to be walking home with her tail between her legs, he was. She smiled once, a normal, none mocking one. " Oh, I figure since my life is so 'worthless' I'll just give you the fight your begging for " She said and snarled.

But before she was going to do anything, she closed her eyes and focused. Alright, just focus, he can't be that hard to beat, he's just a dog, I'll just kick him when he's down. [/b] That was her plan. She sighed and kept her eys closed, and started concentrating. Don't let his insults, and tone get to you, just a dog, just a dog.

[*James Silvius]

He groaned. She still wanted to fight? He wanted to before, but now after some thought, he just didn't feel like it. Simple as that. James eyed her, watching her movements. She was poised for an attack. He couldn't go wolf here, here were people who could get hurt. He didn't say anything. He waited for her to finish sizing him up. If the time came, he would defend himself rather then fight back, tire her out. A sort of let the river flow around the rock type of thing.

He turned his back and glanced to Kyla. She wouldn't want him to fight, either. He shot the vampire a nasty look and said, "I'm leaving now." She would probably spring for him, he cocked his head and listend for her movement.

[Rose Decumbry]

Rose chuckled, and watched the moment, for his head to turn the other way. Her eyes focused, and widened waiting for that moment. NOW! She growled, and moved swiftly, and silently. She was irked now. That dog had messed with the wrong vampire.

She jumped on his shoulders, and attempted to sink her fangs deeply into his shoulders, hoping to tear some skin out. She growled, he would put up a struggle, or this would be no fun at all.

[*James Silvius]

James sighed when he heard her movement. Of course. A vampire itching for a fight. Typical. He wasn't amused. Frankly he was quite bored with her already. She didn't have much of a fight tactic, no special moves that separates her from other vampires. She was a face to forget basically. Her fangs sank into his shoulder and he winced from the sharp pain. He spun around, shoved her head off him, and threw a punch for her gut.

"You are going to lose this, vampire," he warned. He wouldn't shift to wolf just to entertain her. She didn't deserve that from him. He would take this fight as a human. It would make it easier for her but hey, she seemed like a pushover. He'd been wrong about that before.
