Kenzie rolled out of the way of the large paw that was coming down towards her. The claws got stuck in the ground as she pushed herself to her feet. Taking advantage, she retrieved her machete from her sheath. She was charging the werewolf, when he was able to free his claw and swing it at her. It slashed across her midsection and if it wasn't for her armor, she knew she would have a nasty gash at the moment. She made a mental note to thank Viper.
Wielding the machete, she was able to cut off one of its front paws. It screeched in pain, sending the claws of the other through her left shoulder causing her to scream before it brought around a hind leg. This time, it kicked her in the stomach sending her flying backwards. She fell into some boxes. Grateful for the somewhat cushion, yet it still hurt like hell.
She saw claws coming towards her again. Kenzie lifted her machete to help block it as she turned her head to the side and because of the force it was coming down wi
Glossary: armiger = mother*~~*Viper made his way to his den brother's location. When he arrived, Mathis was standing outside of a building along with Cobra, Roule and Cantor. For a moment he began to worry, but quickly snuffed it out. He knew that his mate and Xile had taken a section further away and it would take them a moment to get there.Just as he thought that they rounded a corner headed their way. He quickly looked over his little mate. She had blood on her shoulder and a few other injuries, but she seemed fine. Because she did not have a mask, he knew she could not see him.Mathis rumbled in his chest, drawing everyone's attention and Viper and the others followed him in. Once inside, they all uncloaked and he felt his little mate instantly come to his side. She inspected him. Taking in all of his wounds. In addition to the injury the wolves had caused on his shoulder, he had another long gash across his stomach and one across his leg. There we
Kenzie walked down the hall. Slowly, approaching the child. She knew that the others were walking just a few feet behind her. As she got closer to the child, she realized it was a little girl. She was no more than about five or six and clutched in her hands was a dingy teddy bear.The little girl's head snapped up when Kenzie was closer to her, and she tried to push herself back into the wall further.Holding her hands up in surrender and placing a smile on her face, Kenzie continued her slow advancement. When she was a few feet from the girl, she squatted down, bringing them more to eye level. The child let out a whimper and Kenzie looked her over.She had cuts and bruises on her little arms and legs as well as what looked like cigarette burns. Her sandy brown curls were matted together in places and dirt and grime adorned her brown sugar skin."Hi," Kenzie stated softly. The little girl didn't say anything to her. Just stared with those big, frightened
Viper saw the panic in his mate's eyes and scanned the human child. She was fine. Simply unconscious and he told his mate as much. He watched her let out a sigh of relief before shifting the child slightly."Were all of the deformities dealt with?" Cobra asked.Each of them recounted the number that they had killed. He was proud to learn that his little mate had killed two, though he wasn't surprised. However, she hadn't taken anything as a trophy. He recalled her once saying that she wished she had one and decided that he would take her back to retrieve at least one of them and teach her how to dress it.When it was confirmed that all of the ones that had hatched were disposed of, they went about deciding how to best get rid of the threat. They could shoot them with their weapons or set off a bomb. However, Kenzie stated that their bombs were too harsh and were likely to destroy most of the city.In the end, she had backed to the far end of the room with
Kenzie raced down the hall as she heard Cydney scream. When she made it into Mathis' bedroom, she found the young girl looking around frightened with her bear clutched in her hands. When her eyes landed on Kenzie she immediately calmed down, but then began to scream again frantically.For a moment Kenzie was confused until she realized that the young girl was not looking at her, but behind her. Looking, over her shoulder she found that not only had Viper followed her down the hall, but the others had gathered as well and she was sure the child was frightened of them. Even more so than she had been the first time, due to the fact that they were not wearing their masks."Let me talk to her alone for a few minutes," she requested. With that she stepped fully into the room and the door closed behind her.Making her way onto the bed, she gently placed a hand on Cydney's cheek. The little girl stopped screaming, but still looked utterly terrified as she began to cry.
Glossary: Infantem officinam = Baby Factory*~~~*Viper watched as his mate and the child colored, as she had informed him upon entering the kitchen. They were seated at the table and the little girl had been a bit scared at first but was now smiling as she concentrated on the task at hand with Kenzie. He knew that was likely due to them shifting back to a form that resembled hers more.The child was now bathed and clean. His mate had dressed her in new coverings. He could not help but notice that the color of their skin was very similar. They were both hues of brown, however, while his mates was a rich brown, the color of the sweetener she’d picked up to put in tea as she’d informed him while they were out, the child’s was lighter a blend of what Viper would imagine his and his mates pups would be if that were possible.He watched as his mate stood up and the child instantly reached for her. She inform
Sonja had been commissioned to make two robes. One for Elder Bantu the other for his life mate Female Elder Mekri. They were attending a function with another pack along with a few of the other elders. It was in an attempt to form an alliance between the two packs. She had been told that there had never been any bad blood between the two so forming an alliance seemed like a diplomatic strategy. She knew her father-in-law would be attending as well and had decided to surprise him with a new robe.She was putting the final touches on the first one when her daughter walked into the work room Cobra had added to their house for her. The teenager inspected the garment for a moment before speaking."That looks really good, Mom. Is it for the Elder or Grandpa?""The Elder. I'm going to make your grandfather something a bit more prestigious since he outranks this particular Elder."Jay pulled herself up onto the table and watched her mother work for several moment
Glossary: pater = father - Lumi = hunted for tender meat sort of like lamb*~~~*Viper watched as his mate and Cydney sat in the pink grass and played some game that consistent of them singing about a human female named Mary dressed in black as they clapped their hands together and against each other’s. He didn't really see the appeal in it, but the child seemed to enjoy it immensely.They were only about three days away from the Home Ship but decided to stop off on Ulna to do a bit of hunting. It was a planet rich in game and vegetation. They still had plenty of meat, but Ulna offered Lumi. It was a delicacy and could be considered the best meat.That morning as the child still slept, Viper had assisted Kenzie in skinning the flesh from her kills and polishing the skulls. Afterward, she had declined his proposal to go hunt and stayed back at the ship with Cydney.When Viper had returned hours later with the rest of
Colby watched as the little animal finished her business. He then led it back into the living room and to the kitchen where he poured it, what looked like milk and then gave it a strip of meat. He wasn't sure how he got stuck watching his sister's pet, but he had.It wasn't so bad though. It was trained well enough to let him know when it needed to use the bathroom. It pretty much entertained itself with the toys she'd brought for it, so all he really had to remember to do was give it milk three times a day and feed it five times a day. The little thing ate a lot.He left her in the kitchen to eat before going in the living room. He had the components of the bomb Cobra had given him spread across the table. They were so intricate. There were pieces there that he'd never even seen before. He knew it wasn't your typical bomb, but this was amazing.Upon pulling it apart, he realized that he would have never been able to replicate it correctly. Anything he made woul
