I must be dreaming...

With all the liquor I've consumed
There's no more beauty in this world[/center][/i][/s]

Grabbing the glass cup her hand shook. Small miniature waves weaved through the liquid. Throwing her head back to take a swig she slammed the container back down. Tightly she closed her eyes before taking a sharp breath.

They had betrayed her. Or had, she betrayed them? Not a thing made an inch of sense to her anymore. Tucking a lose piece of hair she gave a softy sigh.

"Don't you think you have had enough miss?" asked a middle age man.

With a bitter laugh she looked him into the eye,"I can handle a lot more than you may think."

With a frown he filled her once more and turned to walk away,"Be careful not to do it Miss..."

"Kitsune."

He nodded before wondering off,"Miss Kitsune."

The woman gave a short and chugged her liquor once more. Dropping the glass she buried her head within her hands. Oh, Cassie, where was the girl now? Maybe her brother and friend were right - was she taking these...killings too seriously? No..the humans...humans were vial sicking creatures.

Just looking at them made her wanna puke. Forcing the bile back down her throat, she breathed in deeply. Disgusting creatures. What was the point of man, for all he led to was destruction. All he created was misery.

To them she was known was demon...beast....a killer. To her they were known as the same. Who was truly right? She did not know.

[! P E B B L E !]

The canine nestled beside her unconscious owner, whining softly as he felt her shallow breathing. He could feel her pain sourly swirling around him, and he could scent the blood way to well. Along with that, he could hear angry voices inside the building, and could pick out individual words.

Kitsune. Where'd he hear that name? He pondered a long while before Ventah stirred. She moaned softly and stood up.

"Well, Veil," she sighed, "we're here alive." Veil whined and nuzzled his long nose beside her arm.

"Aw, honey, it's only a graze. We missed those guys by a longshot." she replied. Veil still looked concerned, despite having no eyes or ears. The dog pointed his nose to the pub.

"The Blue Moon Pub? We don't wanna go in there." She said. Veil still insisted.

"Veil..." she started, but Veil was off before she could think. "VEIL! COME BACK HERE YOU-" She took off running, her eyes narrowed. She skidded to a halt in front of the door, her eyes wide. Veil was already inside!

Veil dashed off, heading around the corner. He could hear Ventah's angry yelling as he leaped in through the door. Just then Veil wondered if that was a wrong move. He could feel hatred and confusion stirring inside this building, and a weird feeling pricked at his skin. Still, he continued. He headed toward 'Kitsune'. He was so close... but to what? He wagged his three tails and dashed over to the being he could not see.

Rearing up on his hind legs, Veil slurped the person on her face... he was sure she was female now. He sat down and seemed to stare at her, seeing but without eyes. His maw was turned up into a smile.


[yay for being half awake as you post!]

The woman blinked whipping the slobber of her face. Her crimsons eyes scanned the creature quickly and observed the surrounding people's reactions. Most were staring in here direction of exiting the building in a ...screaming fashion.

"For a moment I thought a had a little too much to drink," she slurred her words. "Seeing that most of you kind is smart enough not to expose yourselves in open."

With a sadistic grin she grabbed a bottle of liquor and stood up. Waving her hand she beckoned the hound to follow. Most humans were scrambling to get away or to find some weapon.

"Seeing that...they are not oblivious to fact your here," she laughed walking through the bar. "It might be time for us to leave, pup."

Yawning slightly she pushed open the doors and her gaze fell upon Ventah. Giving a twisted smirk the woman awaited for the canine to walk through the doors. After he reached a certain point she let her hand drop and the metal doors slammed, hushing the noise that the humans were causing inside.

"Hmmm and what do we have here?"

[! P E B B L E !]

Ventah blinked, her icy violet gaze falling upon her 'dog'. She watched as Veil panted happily.

"There were... humans in there..." she murmured. She hadn't see a human for a long while. Shaking her head and looking at Kira and Veil, Ventah sighed.

"Sometimes I wonder if he's as smart as he says he is," shaking her head, Ventah glanced at Kira cautiously.

"Say, you handled him pretty well," she said, "it's unhumanlike."
Her eyes gleamed as she looked at Kira.

"Well owning him is very inhuman like too hm?" she purred.

The woman gave a sigh as the shouting increased within the bar. With a large crash the metal barriers flew open. In the door way stood a large muscular man. A gun was whipped out; pointed straight at the three of them. In that split second he cocked the machine and within a second later the woman's body ripped into a wolf like form and attached to his neck.

With a loud crunched she tightly gripped around it and the gun dropped. The man's body fell back with a thud and she stood on his chest blood covering her muzzle. Back away soon after she bared her fangs at the others coming. Crimson liquid dripped from her fangs and her fur began to stand up.

The wolf mimicked the appearance of woman. It had dark ebony fur and deep crimson eyes. Her eyes are coated black along with her tail and two stripes. The creatures paws copied the color of blood and three dashes under each eye did the same. Hair covering her face was dyed red and strange markings were on her hips.

"Damn you humans!" she gave a deep throaty growl.

Some stumbled back and others stood their ground as she back up to lunge again.

"Kid...you better grab the pup and get out now," she turned and spoke as crimson eyes peered deeply at the girl.

Before an answer was giving she leaped at another man and gun fires began to fire.

[! P E B B L E !]

Ventah's eyes widened as she watched Kira turn into a wolf. She whipped around and headbutted Veil into a bush. This was no place for a blind dog! She turned to see the humans. There were so many! Kira couldn't take them on on her own...! Could she? Shaking her head, Ventah tried to mimic Kira's movement into a wolf. She had done puma before, and she wanted to see how a canine fit. Stepping back Ventah lunged into the air. Her pale skin quickly transformed into thick brown fur. Her eyes narrowed and he mouth broadened into a muzzle.

Ventah landed silently on the ground and stared at the humans. How do I kill them? she panicked. Wait... She tried to, again, mimic Kira's movement and leaped at a human with a gun pointed at the gray wolf's chest. Leaping in the air again, she pinned the person to the ground. She picked up the gun, and with as much force as possible, crushed it in her jaws. She threw the gun into a building, where glass shattered and more shouting reigned the air. Another man was streaking up to her with a knife.

Ventah yelped as the sharp object slightly grazed her arm wound from earlier. The pain turned into anger and Ventah whipped around and grasped the humans neck. She shook it violently, but slowly her jaw began to ache. Blinking, she let it go and looked around. Little did she know, there were more soldiers lined behind the pub.

With a loud howl the wind whipped through the city. It chilled the female to the bone and as she breath out, a crisp white cloud curled from her mouth. With the balance of her feet she leaped backwards and took the battle status in quickly.

The kid hadn't taken her warning and jumped right into battle. With a deep growl she latched onto a man's gun. Dragging the human along with her she ripped the gun lose when he had fallen.

Tossing the gun to the side, she gazed at the man. Claws digging into his cheek, her crimson eyes narrowed. Fear filled the air thickly along with confusion and stubbornness. Blood dripped from her fangs as she gave a wide smile. Large fangs were covered thickly in blood from the small battles. His eyes widened and breathing became hitched.

"Now dear, wouldn't you like to inform me of who your leader may be or whether these men are alone?"

As he nodded she removed her paw; claws dripping blood. Licking the substance off the creature smiled. The man tried to regain poster as he sat up and face her. Soon as he looked her in the eye, he looked away. As they meet he could feel the sicking cover of madness which consumed her. The creature was twisted into her dark ways, not a trace of sympathy nor kindness was left.

"G-General Alvar, creature."

With a deep chuckle she stepped toward him,"My name is Kirarah."

As he stiffened her maniacal laughing increased,"So you have heard of me?"

"Yes...the general speaks very much of you." he answered quietly.

Circling him she came very close to his ear,"Speak of me, how?"

"He speaks of a demon who is ragged by vengeance, that she kills any man who stands within her way." he murmured darkly.

"Human." He met her gaze,"What is your name?"

"Laurence."

She paused,"Leave now...for next time I see you, I will kill you."

With a paused she stood and looked at the pup. It was time, that they should leave. He quickly stood to his feet and left, glancing backward seeing nothing but soldiers. The creatures were gone.

[! P E B B L E !]

Adrenaline still pulsed through through Ventah's veins. She stared at Kira in awe, her maw gaping.

"That was amazing! I never knew there were more like me!" she babbled excitedly, "I didn't know I could change into a wolf! I thought I could only change into a cat... and and and you were amazing! I can't believe you just took them on like that!"
But Ventah's excited expression drooped into a frown.
"W-Why do they want to kill us? I mean... why'd we kill them?" Ventah had so many questions swirling in her mind, but she decided not to say anything. Her icy lavender gaze rested upon the gray wolf, and it was all she could do not to start asking more questions.

Kira was silent,"You are too young to understand the dangers of humans."

Remaining as a wolf she trotted along glancing back, as if she expected someone to follow them. With a soft sighed the female came to a stop and sat back on her haunches. Her crimson eyes gazed out into the night, looking for something...someone. Closing her eyes she analyzed what had just happened.

"It would best...if you left these lands," she whispered. "Or at lest...move to the other side of the city."

Standing up once more she looked back,"I can take you there, many other shifters would be glad to take you in...I'm sure they would answer any question you give."

The wind gave another blow causing her to shiver. Nothing would end well if the kid stayed with her. Kira was sure that the general would come for her once notified of her presence. The two had chased one another around these lands.

She had killed many of his men in her jaws, and he never caused more than a scratch. But, he did more damage than any wound could do. Alvar had chased Cassie away, chased her own brother, and he would do anyone to come.

Alvar only shinned light of her aggressive behavior..causing half the lands to fear her. Any shifter would gladly remove the girl from her care.

"Come on...I know someone would like a kid like you," she smiled softly.

[! P E B B L E !]

Ventah blinked, then shook her head.
"I don't wanna go with anyone else," she said, "and for the past, what, six years? I've been on my own. I can handle it alone if you decide I'm not good enough to hang out with you." She rested her violet gaze on Kira for a moment, and then looked away. She narrowed her eyes and scanned the area for signs of Veil. She saw small circle-shaped indents in a layer of mud, so he had to be around somewhere.
