Nia glanced out the window of the black tinted window, her fingers absentmindedly twirling a lock of her hair. Annoyance clearly on her face as she turned to her brother. “I’m just saying this is the fourth move in the last two years. It’s getting ridiculous Kian.” She loved her twin dearly but the man had a problem. When he didn’t respond she scoffed and went back to staring at the passing landscape. They were almost to their next destination and she really wanted this to be their final home.

Kian knew his sister was irritated but there was nothing he could do at this point. It’s not his fault humans were so...human. His fangs elongated at his thoughts and he felt the hunger inside him growing again. They were already out of blood bags and they still had another thirty-minute drive to their destination. His hands clung to the steering wheel of the car and his foot hit down on the pedal increasing their speed well over the speed limit. Thankfully his sister stopped her nagging when he didn’t reply and the last bit of their trip ended before he knew it. He was thankful they chose somewhere not as populated so the likelihood that they would be pulled over was slim to none. The house he had purchased wasn’t too shabby, it was more like a miniature mansion than a cabin in the woods. They really had lucked out that the previous family chose to sell quick without too many questions due to a rise in wolf attacks. Kian was sure werewolves were the likely case and not natural occurring ones but he didn’t care; he could hold his own against the primitive beasts. He slammed his door shut just as his sister clapped her hands in excitement.

Nia spun to face her brother, her full smile revealing her pearly white teeth, no fangs in sight due to being well fed. “Kian! This is amazing!” She ran toward the house and opened the door with a key she had found underneath a very plastic looking rock. She turned to face Kian, “I call dibs on the master bedroom!” Nia didn’t wait for a reply before running up the beige carpeted stairs.

Kian was glad Nia hadn’t asked too many questions about the place. And he knew that if it was decked out enough with all the amenities that she was used to that she wouldn’t complain too much. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it turning his back to their new home and facing the wall of trees down the drive. He wondered how long it would take the werewolves to realize their presence and if he could keep his twin unharmed and unaware. Even as a vampire she was very sweet natured, Kian would even describe her as naïve at times, with her wanting to blend in with humans. He took several drags off his cig before tossing its remains on the ground and heading inside.

“Marc..! Marc! We need to go back!” Louis Lacroix whisper yelled to his brother Marc, the pack’s default Alpha, if one could call three wolves a pack. They technically had all their bases covered, with Marc serving as the Alpha, the leader of the pack, while Louis served as the Omega… the weakest one, though with that came certain responsibilities as well, namely making sure their backs were always covered and that the pack was taken care of. It was hard to do that when the scent of… of death hung so strongly in the air, and they were now heading strait for it.

Fleur BOT 26-Nov-21 08:34 PM
Fleur Beaumont rolled her blue eyes, pink hair bouncing around her with every step she took. Her feet were bare, and she could feel the soil of the forest pressing up between her toes with every step that they took towards what was formerly the Godwins’ cabin. They were a lovely family, with a daughter that Fleur had grown up with in town, but evidently the pack’s activities had gotten a little too public. It was a shame really. They used to always avoid these parts of the woods to avoid scaring people. And now, here they were, heading straight for the cabin. It wasn’t as if there wasn’t good reason though. About two hours prior, Fleur, the sharpest tracker of the three, had caught a whiff of something she’d never smelled before. It was as if somebody had dug up every grave in the old Hillcrest cemetery and just dumped the bodies. A death that was very old, and very… potent. They needed to investigate, and Marc had agreed with her. “Louis, you’ve made your feelings known, so why don’t you just drop it already?” Fleur asked, her usual whispy tone harsher than usual. She was on edge.

Marc BOT 26-Nov-21 08:44 PM
The bickering was starting to get to Marc, the pack’s leader and Louis’ older brother. He stopped in his tracks and turned to face the two of them. “I’ve had enough of you two. Louis, I know you’re nervous, but that’s your job, your instincts talking. You’re our lookout, so it’s prudent of you to be on alert. However, you need to learn to control it and accept that the decisions I make are final.” Fleur had a little smirk, and Marc gave her a look that all but said he’d smack it right off her face if she didn’t stop. “And you, Fleur. Just because I agreed with you doesn’t mean you get to have a snug air of superiority. You’re the beta by necessity, not because I chose you. You need to step it up, because we’re not going to be this depleted forever… I know this is new and hard for both of you. I get it. I don’t like it either. But right now, we play the cards we’ve been dealt. We’re here to protect this land, and right now, there’s something potentially very dangerous. Our parents would have wanted us to do this. Now… let’s go, and keep your fucking mouths shut, okay?” The two of them avoided Marc’s gaze but nodded. Satisfied with that, Marc turned and continues towards the house. When they arrived, they kept their distance, standing on a small hill that overlooked the property. The stench of death was so strong that it was nearly nauseating, and yet, all they saw were two people, younger by the looks of it, unpacking their car. Everything seemed to be normal, other than the fact that it was the dead of night, beneath a nearly full waxing moon. “What’s going on here?” Marc muttered tu himself.

Kian and Nia had just about removed all the boxes from the back of the car containing their personal possessions. There was only one box remaining and as Kian bent to pull it out, he sensed them. He frowned and tried to hold back a snarl, his senses were twice that of his sister and if he could help it, he would keep her none the wiser. “Hey Ni, since we are pretty much done, can you go and heat up some of the blood that’s in the fridge?” He placed the box on top of the car and shut the trunk, his eyes scanning the trees as he did. There couldn’t be more than a handful of them, as the smell wasn’t completely overwhelming so Kian wasn’t too worried. This was probably just the scouting party and if he played his cards right this would be the last. Kian tried to give off a cool impression when he turned to face his sister.

“You’re hungry again?” Nia looked up from her phone. She had been updating the one friend she had from a seethe they had come across on their current whereabouts. She really missed living close to others of their kind, but with Kian and his impulses it was really hard to be accepted anywhere and when push came to shove Nia would never leave her brother just for her own selfish wishes. She sighed in exasperation and shover her hair out of her face. “Fine, but seriously. You need to slow down. We don’t know when the next shipment will come in and the seethe that supplies us are already annoyed with you as it is...” She noticed Kian make a strange expression and bit her lip. She walked over to him and placed her head on his shoulder. “Sorry. I know I nag, and it’s not like you do it on purpose...” Nia wrapped one arm and gave a halfhearted squeeze to her twin before turning on her heels and sauntering into the house to do as her brother requested.

Kian didn’t want to give any indication that he was aware of the werewolves so instead he turned away and leaned against the car. Facing the house, he took out a cigarette and lit it before taking a long drag. He made little shapes in the puff of smoke that he released. He knew it would take a bit of time before Nia was done so he shoved off the car. Acting as if he had no care in the world, he headed toward the end of the driveway where the mailbox was. He shoved his hands in his pockets, his eyes focusing on the gravel underneath his feet. This was a test to see what the wolves would do and Kian knew it was a risk but he would have to take it. He would do anything for his sister, she had stuck by him in his darkest moments through the decades since they had been turned. A pang of sadness ran through him and he ground his teeth together. Kian pulled his hair back and tied it in a loose ponytail. If there would end up being a fight he would need it out of the way.

Marc looked down at the lone person below, hidden behind foliage and branches, trying to see what it was he was up to. He was just.. wandering; looking as if he was waiting for something or someone. “I think he knows we’re here,” Marc whispered. Beside him, Fleur started growling.

Fleur BOT 27-Nov-21 08:24 AM
Fleur sniffed the air, and in the midst of the smell of death, there was the smell of… iron.. no… blood. A deep growl emanated from the the back of her throat, her turning almost completely black. “Vampires,” she hissed, and then she lunged, prepared to go down the hill if Marc hadn’t have caught her and slammed her against the nearest tree.

“You don’t do anything unless I say so. You’re going to get yourself killed!” Marc whisper-yelled at her. “You need to get your head on straight, Fleur. These aren’t animal poachers or low level human thieves. These things are deadly and can rip you to shreds,” Marc warned her, slowly letting her go. “We need to stay together. Even one vampire is extremely deadly, and there’s two of them. None of us have faced a-“ The smell of blood was finally rescuing the noses of Marc and Louis.

Louis BOT 27-Nov-21 08:36 AM
When the scent hit Louis, he started growling in much the same way that Fleur had. He was the youngest of the three, only eighteen, and had the least control of his abilities. Marc gave his younger brother a side eye, and then leaped into his path, keeping Louis from charging in, but Marc was knocked down the hill as a result.

Marc BOT 27-Nov-21 08:41 AM
Marc flailed his arms as he fell backwards, tumbling head over head, hitting rocks and roots sticking up out of the ground on his way down. As he fell, he started to transform, hoping his wolf form could take the brunt of the impacts. By the time he reached the bottom, he was only about fifty feet in front of the lone vampire outside, having grown about a foot and a half in height, his ears now those of a wolf, as well as his snout and teeth. His whole body was covered in fur with his shirt having been torn open. At the ends of his fingers were sharp claws, and the only distinguishing features between his current and full forms were his still forward facing knees and human-like feet. He looked at the vampire, his scent now overwhelming, and bared his teeth in cautious warning. “Why have you come here?” he asked; his voice low and gnarly. “This territory is occupied by my pack. I strongly suggest you move along.”

Kian heard the growls and the hair on his neck stood. He turned quickly toward the sound of leaves being disturbed and got in a defensive position. When the wolf bared his fangs, Kian did the same. His hands no longer in their pockets revealed pointy nails; nothing like the wolves own claws but sharp enough that they could wound something if needed. He hissed at the beast’s words and took a small step forward. “Why don’t you make me, fleabag.” Kian knew taunting the thing was not the smartest idea but he didn’t care, he would never back down from a challenge and he had a fiery temper. If he hadn’t eaten so much earlier, he wouldn’t be able to stay in control. He took another step forward and showed his fangs again, his irises were now tinted a light shade of red. “If you know what’s best for you and your ilk, you will remove yourselves from my property before I make you.”

Nia was waiting for the blood in the microwave to finished heating when she felt something tug on the bond she shared with her twin and she wondered if he was alright. The last time she had felt something like this ended horribly...but he could just be in one of his moody episodes. Kian? She pulled on their telepathic link and waited. Her nails making a soft clacking sound on the marble countertop.

Kian swore under his breath and absentmindedly shook his head. He needed to be careful, Nia had always had an ability to connect with him even before the change, and after it only developed even more fully. The twin bond was great but at times it was more of a nuisance. She needed to stay where she was. Kian did his best to think somewhat positive vibes hoping that she would just think he was in one of his mood swings. Afterall, they had just had to relocate and even though he was the cause it could be said that he didn’t like it.

Nia sighed in relief. If her brother wanted to be moody then that was fine, she would give him some space. When the microwave beeped, she pulled out the blood pouch and put it inside a small thermal bag to keep it warm for when he was ready, then she headed upstairs to start unpacking some of her boxes. Nia turned on the radio and turned the volume up, unpacking was less of a chore if she was having fun.

Your property? This land has been with my family for centuries,” the wolf-man snarled, his claws extending. “This is your last warning, you blood sucking leech. Get. Out.” Marc was about to lunge when he noticed the vampire i. front of him seem to lose focus. He was… distracted. Marc sniffed the air, could pick up on his pack mates. He wanted, no, needed them to stay behind, but they seemed to be doing something… better. If he could, Marc would have smirked to himself.

“We have to get down there!” Fleur told Louis, but he held her back. She turned to him and pressed him against the nearest tree, much the same way Marc had done to her. “I’m not going to let him die because of your cowardice, Louis! He’s your brother! We have to save him!”

Louis BOT 28-Nov-21 01:54 AM
“Marc is strong. He can hold his own for a little while. We have to play this smart,” Louis said, not breaking Fleur’s gaze in a surprising act of bravery for him. He knew what was on the line. He’d lost family, lost friends. He wasn’t going to lose Marc too. “There’s two of them, aren’t there? Only one is outside. That means there’s either something valuable inside, or the other one is what’s valuable. Otherwise they’d be out there trying to double team Marc. Let him handle that one, and you and I go see if we can get some leverage. We’ll sneak around the back.”

Fleur BOT 28-Nov-21 01:58 AM
Fleur smiled, baring her already growing fangs and she leaned forward to give Louis a kiss right on the mouth out of sheer excitement for his plan. “You scheming little bastard,” she said affectionately. “Alright. Let’s go.” The two of them partially transformed and hurriedly made their way down the hill and around to the back of the house. Getting on all fours, they slowly stalked their way up to the back of the house, peering through a window to find a woman that looked no older than twenty-five but judging by her scent, could have been centuries old. Fleur looked to Louis he gave her a countdown on his fingers. 3.. 2… 1… The window broke, and Nia soon had two werewolves taking up have her kitchen and lunging at her, planning on taking her hostage.

Kian let out a laugh at the wolf’s words. “I have the deed to the land, so as far as anyone is concerned it is now my land, fuck your family.” When he sniffed the air Kian tensed but tried to play it cool. “I know I smell it too; you could use a bath you mangy mutt.” He stepped to block the house from the wolfs bath and noticed the smirk on the corner of his lips. Kian didn’t like that one bit.

If there was one thing to be said about the twins it would be that they were both overly protective of the other. While Kian was the wilder of the two when it came to their urges, it could be said that Nia was actually the scarier of the two. It wasn’t just that she didn’t like to hurt others, for she tried her best to keep what little humanity she had left intact. But when there was a threat, she was vicious and calculative. At the sound of the glass breaking behind her she instinctively jumped furthest away, the stench of the wolves making her shiver. It had been a long time since she’d had to fight. There were two of them and only one of her, if Kian was outside then there must be another otherwise, he would have already been here with her. That must have been what was wrong with him that she had picked up on. Her fangs elongated and she hissed at the wolves. She didn’t have any weapons she could use at the moment so her best bet was to think of a strategy. Nia dodged as best she could and just barely missed being tackled. The thing about werewolves is that they were larger than their natural kin, so their size would be a slight disadvantage in close quarters. Nia winced as she hit the corner of the kitchen counter. The probability of the different outcomes that ran through her mind rushed past her and she only had seconds to make her choice. For now, she would play to whatever their game was. If they truly wanted her dead, she’d more than likely already have been. More than likely their plan was to capture, at least that was what she hoped. If it was the latter then Nia would fight with all of her might.

Kian heard the crash of the glass shattering and snarled in anger. Why couldn’t the stupid dogs leave his sister out of this? Instead, they were targeting her. “Your dogs made a horrible mistake!” Kian leaped the last remaining distance between him and the wolf and swiped at his face with his nails. Kian knew the damage wouldn’t be extensive but he hoped to at least wound him enough to affect his vision.
