- Andrew continued moving through the park now, approaching the deeper parts where the thicker and larger trees grew. It was one of the largest parks in London and therefore one of his favourite spots to sleep. It provided him with adequate cover for sleeping at night while also allowing him insight into the surrounding area in case of emergency. This park linked up to four different major streets in the city which was why it was his favourite choice for sleeping.
Lorelei didn't allow him the satisfaction of being by himself. She instead decided to keep on his tail. Andrew didn't reply to her calling him a dog once, nor did he reply to her groaning that his words hurt her, obviously fake.
"Yes, as a matter of fact. Horribly bored. This city is boring...where's the war? Where's the bloodshed? I haven't encountered one of the wolves yet. You'd think the family would be on some sort of rampage to stop them,"
Andrew ignored her while she spoke and continued walking. She wasn't holding his attention very much. He found his memory stretching back to the events of tonight. He wasn't sure how Ailee had so easily dismissed him like that. Had she really felt that he'd killed Xander in cold blood? He shouldn't have said anything. People usually didn't understand him very well as Lorelei was demonstrating by antagonising him now. He was brought back to his senses by her words.
"Mm. You and I both know that if I tried to feed from you, a fight would ensue. I don't know much about you or your skills, but I think I have a pretty good shot at snapping your neck."
"Guess you'll never know unless you try." He replied back quickly.
She had closed the gap between the two of them, her breath warm on his neck. He didn't flinch from it. If she had wanted to feed on him she would have attempted to do so earlier when he was more unaware of his company earlier in his walk.
"So isn't striking up deals with Vampires against an honor code of yours, or something?"
Here she was intruding into their business once more with that arrogant smirk. So it seemed she knew what they had discussed at the bar. That was interesting. She shouldn't have been able to overhear anything let alone piece together that he was with Ailee or Cassandra from how he was acting. Either she was good at what she did or there was more to this than she was letting on. Andrew didn't take the bait though.
"Not specifically, although sharing information with Vampires we haven't made a deal with is."
Tonight he really wasn't up for her shenanigans. The two of them walked in silence for some time with her still following him like some sort of lost puppy. The path winded up and along the inner reaches of the park. It felt like a nature walk of sorts when he thought about it. It was pretty in here, something that a couple should see. Instead, Andrew was touring it with Lorelei. In truth he had been through here a lot but it was always a pretty and relaxing experience. He felt that it-
Andrew stopped. He didn't move for a moment as he felt everything around him. He closed his eyes, using his ears to their full extent. Something was wrong. Something just felt completely wrong at that moment in time. If Lorelei said anything, Andrew would hiss back with a swift "Shut up."
He did not move for another few seconds. The wind blew through the forest of the park gently, a refreshing breeze floating along them. If someone didn't know better it would seem like such a nice p-
Snap
Andrew felt it all at once. The hulking overwhelming smell of it. The weight of that force. That sickening killing intent. Andrew twisted his body around to face Lorelei, he didn't even think. His arms closed around her as he jumped, taking her with him. It was close enough that Andrew felt the wind whistle behind him from where he stood. The claws of the wolf had only just barely missed Andrew, cutting through what would have been both he and Lorelei.
He landed on the ground, rolling slightly. His shoulder dug into the ground and he used his foot to steady himself. When he realised what had happened, he blinked a couple of times. He was holding Lorelei in his grip. He scowled slightly and released her. He wasn't sure why he had risked himself to save her but some stupid part of him had acted without thought.
"Get up." He said firmly as he pushed himself to his feet quickly.
His eyes focused on the hulking beast. Then his eyes widened as he took it in. This one was massive, bigger than most of the runts he'd seen before. He was about eight feet and nine inches. It towered over him and Lorelei. He wasn't sure about what course of action he was going to take. Instead he slid his right foot back and slid his hand down to his thigh slowly, waiting to see what action this wolf would take.
"Just be careful... He seems like he's a stray like you." He growled as his fingers closed around his pistol with silver bullets strapped to his leg holster. The wolf growled and snarled at them, baring it's large fangs as it dropped to all fours and began sprinting at them. Andrew fired off several rounds at the wolf, all missing as the wolf manoeuvred and bounced from tree branch to tree branch.
"s**t, he's like a monkey." He growled angrily.
Andrew usually didn't have too much trouble placing a hit on a wolf. In fact, usually they were quite clunky and untrained. Andrew didn't like how much of a difference in strength this one had to the rest. He was by himself but that didn't mean it was going to be an easy win.
"Dodge it!" He yelled, darting to the side as the lycan pounced to try and pin him or Lorelei. When he missed, Andrew spun around and jammed his gun into his holster and held up both of his hands. He clicked his wrists together, the two pieces of metal within them began reverberating throughout his body. Silver and metal alike began stretching throughout his body and around his hands into gauntlets. Andrew held up both of his hands in a boxer's position in front of his face as he awaited the wolf to attack.
