Hunting (Avani)

[shay]

Shay ran.

Faster...faster...push through the pain

Clenched teeth and fists folded tight Shay Wilde was in a rather odd situation. The Wolf King it seemed, was being hunted.

Vampire

The stench was clear. Shay could not mistake it and as he pushed through the remnants of the city he took a sharp turn and slid down an embankment and sped across town. He could of shifted, but favoured saving his strength in case it was needed. Down an ally he stopped, cocked his head and scented the air. Nothing. Safe.

"Fuckers..." Shay cursed under his breath, spitting against the ground before shoving his hands into his hooded jacket pockets and stamped down toward the old subway line. Shay moved through the old subway lines, gliding down through old disused tunnels until he smiled as the familiar scent washed over him. Humanity.

Shay slid down a familiar route and reached a reinforced steel door in which he pounded eight times. The catch on the door was opened and through the peep hole blue eyes looked over him until the door opened with a clunck of bolts.

"'Fraid we aint got much tonight Shay..." The large burly man said.

"No worries friend..here for a visit..not business..." He patted the large man on the shoulder and moved through one of the many small colonies of humans that had taken shelter under ground. So many groups and clans-Shay knew them all. He was after all the man to go to if you needed anything. And like the humans he too had been hunted, his family stripped from him. Shay knew to many of those that governed above ground he was simply a walking meal.

Shay moved through the small makeshift sections, blankets on stone floors, tables made out of tea boxes. Finally Shay leaned against a column by a open fire and pulled out his whiskey bottle.

[avani]

Avani was roaming around as usual, trying to see if anyone needed help. She had just recently helped out an older lady, who needed help with her grandchildren. Their crying gave Avani a headache, but it was worth it. Avani's companion had went out, in search of food. Avani hoped she would come back soon, because she was starving and she was really thirsty.

Nearby Avani heard a child crying. Avani walked over and crouched near the little Asian girl. "What's wrong?" Avani asked. "I can't find my mommy!" the little girl said in between sobs. "I'll help you look for her. Come on," Avani said, standing up and reached her hand out to the girl. "What's your name?" The girl stuck two fingers in her mouth while grabbing Avani's hand with her other arm. "Kagura," Avani smiled. "Okay, Kagura, let's go find your mommy, okay?" Kagura nodded and they were off. After about an hour, they had reached an open fire. Kagura spotted a woman sitting next to it and ran off.

Avani leaned next to a wall, smiling. On a column Avani noticed a guy, and he was getting ready to drink something. Avani's throat was parched, and she walked over. "Do you mind if I have some?" Avani asked, pointed to the bottle. She would use her ability if necessary. She was parched and needed liquid down her throat. "After all, we're old friends," Avani said, trying to push a memory of the two of them joking. "So do you mind?"

[shay]

Do you mind if I have some?

Shay looked up, his eyes pale under the darkened brow as he took a long swig of his whiskey from the metal flask. His eyes fell down upon the young women before him, his lips curling into a small smirk as he slowly offered her the flask. "Be my guest. Cant promise you will like it, not sure if its even whiskey, am sure some ones has been topping my supply up with car oil." He said, seemingly not making ti clear if he were joking or not.

He took in the scent in the air, she was human, nothing to worry about. But then, his animal stirred, his beast brushed under his skin tasting power from the female.

"I'm Shay," he said with an outstretched hand.

[avani]

"Avani," Avani said smiling, taking Shay's hand and shaking it. She took the bottle and tasted a little bit of the liquid. Of course it tasted different form water, but it was something, and she downed a little bit of it. "Here you go," Avani said, handing the bottle back to Shay. "Avani!" The call came from Lisa, who had returned. "Be back in a minute!" Avani said back. After a minute the call was, "It's been a minute!" Avani ignored Lisa. "My friend," Avani said. "Would you like to meet her?"

She was wondering if her power had worked or not. She had decided to test if it did. "How's your cousin?" she asked, and sent the memories to his head. A cousin who was beaten up for food and now close to dying, a cousin that Shay loved dearly.

[shay]

Shay shook his head when she aske dif he wanted to meet her friend. he was not being social, he had only come down here to get away. When he felt it was safe he would head back to the compound. Then he felt it, the brush of power against his skin, seeping into his mind. His wolf growled, pushing forth under his skin, jaws snapping at the invasion. Thoughts, memories, images flashed in his mind that made no sense and in an instant his hand was wrapped around the females throat, his teeth bared and his eyes morphed into those of his wolf counter part.

"What are you?" He growled, his voice visibly changing to something feral, "I don't have a cousin, at least not any more. And you would not know about my family unless you were around thirty years ago when he was ripped apart by vampires. So start talking before I make you a new airway."

[avani]

Avani's hands quickly went to try to get his hand from around her neck. She was completely terrified now, she had assumed him to be human. "I'm human," she whispered, tears forming at her eyes. "But I'm telekinetic too," she whispered again. "Please just let me go. Please." Avani pushed another thought into his head, one that was true and applied to her. One that showed that Avani had been through enough. about when her parents left they didn't come back. About how her brother had to steal and hurt people just to get food. About when the vampires had came after the and they got separated. Then Avani being scared out of her mind after that. Her screaming in her sleep at night and going insane and then meeting her best friend. Then being just a little bit sane after that. "I've been through enough already so please let me go. Please."
