Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

[miles_mcm]

Fucking demons getting more and more bold. If I had been training Shox we would have been fighting these together. The fact that he isn't here makes me fight with even more fury!

I snarl and bare my fangs at him. "Wasn't my meal." Since I can't get into a fight with the Demons he just killed I guess he can take their place.

I extend my claws and flex my fingers as I look him over. "I bet that blade has seen the blood of my kind before." I give a growl as I start to circle him. "Why don't you put it down and see how good you are without it."

[miles_mcm]

I raise an eyebrow at him, "Well I wouldn't use this against your kind anyway," my knife disappears and a longer one dipped in silver appears in my hand, "this is what I would use against your kind."

He continues to circle me and I turn to face him, "Without it I would make but a puny meal for you. I have no fight with you wolf."

Even through his anger, there is something quite vulnerable about his eyes. I do not wish to kill or even harm him, he is entirely too beautiful.

[wi11i4m_c]

I keep my eyes on that silver sword of his and tighten my circle up a bit as I turn back and go the other way.

I know I am dangerously close but I'm waiting for an opening as he turns and follows my circle. "To bad cause I have fight with you."

Then I smell Marius. I stop and look back toward the end of the alley and sure enough he steps into the dim light there. I move and step back more into the shadows but I know he has seen me.

William!

He snarls out my name and I know he is pissed. I growl in anger giving a last glare at the guy with the sword then I take form and run.

[miles_mcm]

I can sense this other wolf is an alpha-male, and the beautiful one, William, is in trouble. The larger wolf takes off after him paying me no attention. I jump and slice him across his back and he goes down howling in pain, but he won't stay down long.

Disappearing into the ether I track William, he is fast. Finding him I reach out of the ether and grab him only to push him back out in a forest that is protected by us. He turns and growls and I hold my knife in front of me, "Your friend took a hit from this for you. He's wounded but will heal. Why was he after you?"

Why I am getting involved or even care I am not exactly sure. All I know is there is something about this wolf, something I feel I want, need, to know.

[wi11i4m_c]

I shift instantly back to human form. "What?! You cut him!" Now I start to pace. "Just great, I was in trouble before but now thanks to you I'm in deep shit! Marius will skin me!"

I stop and glare at him. "Why the hell did you have to interfere. That had nothing to do with you!"

[miles_mcm]

I smirk, "Well you were the one that started it. Got me all excited about a fight then you take off running, had to cut some one."

Shrugging I answer him, "You seemed - scared, so I thought I'd help. Apparently you would rather he caught you."

[wi11i4m_c]

"Scared! I was not scared!" I huff at him. "I simply didn't want him to drag my ass home!" I growl and look around me. "Not yet anyway."

I furrow my brow as this place doesn't look familiar. I turn back to eye him and a tiny shiver of worry curls up my spine. "Where the fuck are we?" I narrow my eyes at him as I extend my claws and bare my fangs. "Why'd you bring me here? Who are you?"

[miles_mcm]

"We are in protected woods. And I brought you here because your friend couldn't trace you here. But," I sheath my knife, "if you wish to go back to him I will gladly take you. I thought you needed help."

Bending slightly at the waist I continue, "I apologize. Who I am is of no importance. I am just some one who wanted to help one like you - one so beautiful and fierce. But I was wrong. Tell your friend what ever you like, what ever will save you any trouble. I will take the heat should I meet him again."

[wi11i4m_c]

I'm even more suspicious of him when he won't give me a name. I'm worried now that I gave Marius' name. "You don't want that sort of heat."

I take a few steps back toward the trees to the back of me. "I can find my own way home."

[miles_mcm]

I smile at his stubbornness, he is a very proud wold.

Shaking my head I inform him, "No you won't, you will only find me. This is not a usual forest - we are in what some might consider a nether world. It is it's own, bubble so to say."

He continues to move back and I clasp my hands together in front of me, "Go on, try. I will be right here when you get back."

[wi11i4m_c]

I growl in annoyance and back off into the brush and trees then when he makes no sound of following I take off running. I run through forest that all looks the same, there is nothing distinguishable about it, no landmarks to base navigation on, nothing and after a bit I stop and stand still looking around.

It smells the same no matter which direction I sniff. I heard creatures and saw them scurry as I passed but now it's dead silent. Real fear prickles my skin again and I look back in the direction I think I came from. I can't go back I will just run into his nameless smug face. His surety scares me.

That gets my hackles up and I turn shifting into form and take off away from where I came again. I have only gone a short distance before I cut through some bushes and practically run into him. I yelp in surprise and fall back to the ground in human form.

I scramble to my feet as I snarl and growl at him. "Keep away from me!"

[miles_mcm]

I'm not very happy with myself. Here I was trying to help, which in itself is not me, and now I have an even more frightened wolf on my hands. I walk slowly along the tree line and he all but runs into me.

As he falls to the ground he shifts back to human form, naked human form. My breath catches in my throat and I divert my eyes for fear of insulting him. I shrug off my jacket
as he growls at me to stay away from him.

My eyes still diverted, although I can sense his every move, I hold my jacket out to him, "I will take you where ever you wish to go William, but you have to at least touch me. A pinky, my foot, something."

[wi11i4m_c]

I watch him closely as I step in to reach out and snatch the jacket off him. I move away just as quickly then give the jacket a look over to make sure there's no tricks.

I slip it on and look at him warily. "Why won't you tell me your name?"

[miles_mcm]

I look at him and my eyes automatically scan him, my God he is beautiful. I shake my head and look into his eyes, "I suppose that isn't fair, as I know your name."

Taking a deep breath I smile softly and bend slightly at the waist, "Miles. This forest is a part of my world, it is a safe place."

[wi11i4m_c]

His name catches my attention. It's not a common name but I've seen it before. A silver bracelet Milo wears has that name on it.

I move closer so I can see his face better in the dull night light. My eyes go slightly wider as I recognise the face. Older but so strikingly similar. Milo has much more hair though.

He has a strong confident look about him, just like Milo. I furrow my brown slightly. I need to know more about him. "Your world?"

[miles_mcm]

The way he looks at me makes me suspicious, what is it he sees?

"We all have our special place in this world," I wave my hand, "and this is my part. I am a protector. Perhaps that is why I helped you."

I am a protector of treasure. He may be a wolf, but to my eyes he is a treasure. I am already planning the canvas and paint I will use to paint him.
