Creatures of the Dark

"I'll never run from you." She told him quietly, resting her forehead to his shoulder.

"Dare." He told her, enjoying the fact that even Alessia had gotten invovled.

"Time will tell."

"I dare you to kiss the person you hate, out of everyone here, in the same way you've all been kissing those you like." Alessia grinned

She looked up at him. "Come for a walk with me?" She asked him quietly.

The wolf laughed. "No this time I'll take the penalty." He told her. "Your demon boyfriend doesn't deserve a kiss so fine, these lips are only reserved for fine ladies like yourself." He moved back at the low growl of warning that eminated from Damian where he sat.

"The penalty is to have a conversation with him, a nice one. You have to go over, and sit next to him and get to know him." Alessia responded pleasantly.

"A walk? I thought you were enjoying the game."

"I think if I drink anymore, I'm going to end up doing something stupid," She told him as she got to her feet. "Come with me?" She asked him.

"I'll take that." He told her and he walked over to Damian, but he sat a bit away from Damian.

Hayden spun the bottle again, and she watched it land on Eris. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare." She told her, before the werewolves took over again. "You take one person into the forest for some 'fun'." He told her. "And believe me there are quite a few guys here eager for you."

"You're all so crude, no decorum here is there?" Caspian scoffed. "She isn't going into any fucking forest, there is still danger out there. The demon hasn't sorted it out yet."

"Thorin hasn't gotten rid of the siphon? It's been weeks..." Alessia frowned.

"Just keeps popping in, doesn't he? Winding us up, he's useless."

"We're animals, we choose to spend the majority of our lives as wolves, our human manners get lost in there somewhere." One of them told him. "And anyway, it's a full moon, mating season is upon us, so we apologise for the crudeness."

"Why are you speaking for her anyway?" Another asked him. "You said she can speak freely, so let her."

Eris looked to them before she looked to Alessia and Damian. "You promised it would be sorted, I thought you paid the price on my behalf but nothing's happened."

"It's hard to explain Eris."

The alcohol in Caspian's bottle flew out, quick whips against the the knuckles of two wolves whom had questioned him. Warnings.

"It's because you've not done the hours he wants yet, is that it?" Alessia asked Damian quietly, leaning back in her chair when Elliot stepped in to join them - having to wrinkle her nose to muffle the scent of the wolf, the smell of a different pack not melding well with that put out by the other wolves

At his 'warnings' the two wolves got up to give him their own 'warnings' however, they stopped when Eris stood between them, her back to Caspian her hands resting on his. "No," She told them and Hayden soon joined them. "Stand down." Hayden warned them and she watched them slink off into the forest.

Damian nodded. "Pretty much, I'll talk to him about it again tomorrow." He told her, moving to stand behind her, his hands gently resting on her shoulders.

"Idiots." Caspian mumbled.

"I'd say you are the idiot for playing shit like that so close to a full moon." Elliot mused, casting a glance over at Hayden, "Sophia has told me I need to socialise more, so here I am. I'll just irritate Damian though, stay out of your hair."  

Alessia nodded, glancing over to Elliot. "Ah, your wolf friend. Of course."

(( BRB need to shower ))

"Jerk." Damian growled at him. "Where the hell have you been anyway?"

Eris looked to Caspian, checking him over just in case, her hands smoothing his. "Not your brightest idea, but at least I have a nickname for you." She told him. "Tempest." She looked to him trying to make him smile. "Come on, lets take a walk, to cool off."

"Tempest - the violent sea storm or the Shakespearan play?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow. "We walk, but only where it is safe."

"Sophia won back her pack, I've been helping her get them all into line. It is hard, it takes time." Elliot chuckled as he approached.

“You literally up and left, could have used your sage advice.” He told him, before he looked at Alessia. “Be right back just going to beat up my friend.”

Eris nodded in agreement. “Violent storm.”

"That's... fine. I suppose."

Alessia snorted her amusment. "Go for it."

"You would lose fighting against me."

She shrugged. “Didn’t care much for the play.” She told him and she followed the path in the forest. “So talk to me, why do you think that you’re a monster?”

“Happily taking my chances.” He told him before he grabbed his arm and dragged him in the opposite direction using some new magic he had learnt and casting a silence charm so that they talk in private. “You idiot, fucking hell I’ve needed you.” He was pacing in front of him he usually only did this when he was agitated or nervous.

"Woah, where have these new abilities come from vampire boy?" Elliot raised an eyebrow. "Calm down, sit down or something - you're making me dizzy with the pacing."

___
"I said why. I'm not going to repeat it."

“Did you know that I’m not just a vampire?” He asked. “Turns out my dad is none other than Thorin, the devils right hand man, Alessias mother messed with my memories.” He explained. “So now my dad is back in the picture but I need help, Alessias pregnant and I have no idea how to be a dad, I know that I was going to be one before but I never actually got to be one.”

“Caspian I control Chaos, murder is the most chaotic thing that can happen,, I felt the residue at your house when I first came to it.”  She told him. “You know this and not once did I run from you.” She reminded him.

"You didn't know who caused it." Caspian mumbled. "I- I never said that I had done it."

----
"The first step is taking a breath and relaxing," Elliot laughed quietly. "Have you read any books on it? There are books on everything these days. Videos?"

“No but logic stated that you would have at least been involved.” She told him. “But please don’t ever think that I could be scared of you, or run from you because that will never happen.”
_____

“That’s not the part that scares me.” He told him. “I haven’t even worked out how to be a demon hybrid how the hell am I supposed to show my kid to do it?”

"You can't make promises like that, you can't see the future."

---

----
"Is your father helping you? Would he help the child?"

“If you were going to hurt me or scare me then you would have done it already.” She told him. “I’ve watched you get angry I’ve watched you go through every human emotion, and I’m still here.” She reminded him.
____

“My father is neither use nor ornament.”

"Please stop down playing this."

---

"Have you asked?"

“Then don’t think that I could run from you.” She told him.

“Plenty of times and all he says is stuff about the jobs he wants me to do.”

"What would happen if you refuse to do these jobs? He allowed you to be manipulated by the she-devil for years, you owe him nothing."

---

"Stop it. Just stop it, I don't want to talk about this."

“It’s not for me that I’m doing this.” He told him. “It’s for Eris, the guy after her is trying to steal her powers we both know what Chaos magic can do.”
_____

“Okay fine, we can talk about something else, I’m still waiting for you to answer my question from earlier anyway.”
