These Strangers Seem So Familiar.... Have I met them before?

[sukinamae]

A part of Namae wanted the other woman to follow, it was apparent that Veritas and the female had met before. Hey that was Veritas, always willing to help a damsel in distress. Getting him into the passenger side of the car, Namae quickly assembled his seat belt and got into the drivers seat. Slamming her foot onto the peddle, the car quickly jolted off into the distance; she glanced at her husband and could see that he needed to return to normal. She would never admit it but she was afraid of his full form. As much as she loved him, she could never tell him the truth. She gazed around noticing an area to the left of the road. It seemed to be secluded and without a shred of life.

"Excellent" She muttered to herself.

Stopping the car, she got out. Taking off her shoes, she walked around to the other side in order to help Veritas out of the car. She was nervous as he obviously needed to release his energy, by the looks of him, it was make or break. Wrapping her arm around his waist, she walked into the secluded area looking around in case there was any danger near. Letting go of him, Namae backed away as she placed her hands together, she was now going to create a barrier for Veritas to release all of his trapped energy. A small violet circle formed around her feet and began to spread out; she hoped that the barrier would be enough, however, she had never seen him like this before. There were many things that she knew about him that he may not know she knew.

She then formed the barrier and began to reflect back on the events that had passed. The girl that had helped them out at the concert kept coming back to her, she wasn't too sure why this was, but one thing was for certain, there was more to this girl than met the eye. Part of her wanted to know more about her, however, with everything that was going on, perhaps now was not the time to do this. Highrum had concealed himself very well, that was until herself and Veritas came into the scene. In fact, it was his melodious voice that forced this to happen. Perhaps he was not aware of his powers releasing as much, however, there were memories that had still clouded her.

Ripping her blue anxious eyes from the door vixze looked back at the stage. She could feel confused, angry, and worried looks from the people around her. Feeling self conscious and sort of panicked vixze started for the exit. Her escape was blocked by highrums bodyguard. Her eyes found his as the large man handed vixze a piece of paper. "what's this?" she asked herself after reading. Looking up the man was gone. Crumpling up the paper she tossed it to the ground and left the concert hall for her car.
To be honest vixze felt mostly scared and confused at the moment. The anger from earlier was very dull now and was the least of her concern. As she started her car vixze narrowed her eyes feeling the need to get the hell away from here. Home wasn't an option. She would drive until she couldn't keep her eyes open. Turning out of the parking lot without pausing to check on coming traffic vixze drove about fifteen miles over the speed limit to no where in particular. About fifteen minutes down the road vixze noticed an abandoned car on the side of the road. She slowed down but didn't stop for a few feet. Turning her car off vixze waited. Her eye lids were growing heavy and she closed her eyes to rest. It had been a long night.

The eyes of a man . . .

Veritas Was silent and not moving much until Namae released him. Unfortunately As he was relinquished his form crumpled and buckled to the ground. He hit the earth rather hard but it would be nothing for him. Even without access to his power veritas was much stronger than the average human. He had always wanted to enter into a strong man competition but someone as normal looking as he winning would attract attention.

That was the kind of thing they avoided. Too bad there was no avoiding this...

Veritas twitched lightly and scrambled to his feet in hands in a crouched, predatory position. His eyes were feral slits as he looked everywhere in a panic. The demon inside had won out and was taking seed. Snarls rose from his throat without so much as a second thought. is skin rippled with muscle as his entire body tremble. The demon within made one last push and the control snapped.

Clothing flew apart in a brilliant explosion of shreds and buttons. Another curious ripping sound that was more like flesh being torn than anything also resonated from where Veritas had been. The form of the man grew and became mishappen as his body was forced into a new and far more menacing form. Demonically wild eyes looked around and the large creature threw it's head back.

An agonized howl split through the night, impossibly loud and echoing. The windows of the two cars away by the road and the cars themselves shook with stress from the sound.

Where Veritas had been stood a large, deeply red tinted wolf. This Wolf was far from ordinary. It seeped aura off of it without even attempting to control it. It was roughly the size of a large horse and it's fangs were obviously made to tear it's enemies to shreds. The large and dangerous eyes locked onto Namae and a single advancing step was taken, a powwerful growl forcing it's way up before the beast shuddered to a stop of hesitation.

. . .Are only one step away from the eyes of a Demon

[blue-eyed-beauty-89]

Vixze was completely relaxed as she sat in the car listening to the radio. Her eyes had been closed until the song break came over the radio. It was a new song that had quickly become one of her favorites. As she leaned foreward to turn up the volume the car windows vibrated like they would break and a strange cry filled the air. Her hand turned quickly on the volume knob out of surprise. The volume hurt vixzes ears but she pushed past that to look out the drivers window. In the night there was nothing. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary and so vixze left her car to investigate. The air was cool almost as if it had just rained in the area. Quickly she made her way towards the abandoned car and recognized the perfume scent. It was the scent of the lady in red. Quickly turning her head to scan her eyes at the area around her vixze noticed no immediate danger. But something... Something was on the wind. Vixze could smell it. Heading into deeper darkness vixzes heart pounded as the distance between herself and the car grew bigger. Sounds in the trees were startling her easier than usual. Then out of no where a strange scene folded out before her eyes. Through the darkness vixze saw the lady in red crouched low to the ground. There was a creature that looked like nothing she had ever seen before. Maybe it would exist in one of vixzes fictional books but not in reality! Hey eyes grew wide in fear. Not in fear for herself but fear for the woman. Without thinking, or trying, vixze suddenly felt determined to help this woman. To protect her. As vixze ran in her direction she wondered why the woman didn't try to run. Was she crazy? Could she not see the dangerous large wolf creature standing in front of her tiny defenseless body?! A wave of anger covered vixze as she rushed to defend the woman. Finally at her side vixze didn't feel like herself anymore. What had happened? She had made eye contact with this beast and the next thing she knew she was on the ground. 'I'm such a coward!' was meant to be screamed but didn't pass through her lips. Instead vixze half screamed and half growled as her head hit the grass now curled up in a ball. Until now she had not felt any pain. She was shaking from the panic and the pain. She could feel the sweat on her body and the adjustments her body was making without her permission. What was happening?! Then the pain was gone.

Vixze stood eye to eye glaring furiously at the beast across from her. She was beside the woman and suddenly taller than her. A low growl was caught in vixzes throat as she stood protectively near the woman ready to defend her at any second. Her new form, though vixze couldn't see it herself, stood just under the height of the other creature. She was mostly pitch black except for the tip of her tail and ears which were the blue of her eyes. If this creature was looking for a fight he would get one.

[sukinamae]

They had reached the perfect place for him to release all of the energy that was breaking out; she noticed that as he began to release his energy his form began to change. In fact he had become a creature like nothing she had seen before, well not since they had ended up in this world. As she watched his skin rip uncontrollably she felt slightly intimidated, however, this was not the time to show fear.

His form was no longer that of a man but of something else, in fact his form was that of a large wild wolf. Everywhere began to shake as he released a large howl, she knew then that his power had increased too much. She knew that something had to be done in order to calm him down. Somewhere in that form was her husband, his fangs were large and able to destroy anything they touched. Suddenly their eyes locked intensely. He took a step as he began to growl at her, he then stopped his movement, he was hesitating; this convinced her that he was trying to control himself.

She then took a step towards him, she knew that she to had to transform; however it would only be a secondary form as she was not sure how to change into her ultimate form. In a lot of ways she had forgotten what it looked like. A she was about to transform another body appeared in what was meant to be a secluded place. It was the blue eyed girl from the concert, it seemed as though she was trying to protect her, in jest this was sweet; however, she was not meant to be here. Veritas could kill her if he wanted to. What was with this girl? As crazy as she seemed to be stepping in the way, there was something about her that seemed familiar to her.

'What the hell are you doing here? You should not be here?' She then saw the girl fall to the ground, something was happeneing to her. She was slightly smaller than Veritas and her body was completely black with the exception of eyes, ears and tail; she did not know what she was getting herself into, even though the girl seemed strong she knew that her husband was stronger. They both stood there in front of each other, she knew that a fight would not be the answer here. Unsure of how much they would understand her, Namae ran in between the two of them and held her arms open. She was defending her husband, the look on her face was serious and strong. 'Please don't fight him.....please, I dont want you to get hurt.'

An aura surrounded her body as she began to levatate from the grassy earth; wings escaped the skin on her back as the power surrounding her ripped her dress up to her thighs, her hair turned jet black but her body size remained the same. She turned towards Veritas and looked into his eyes. 'I know your in there' she said as she knew that something was going to happen.

Veritas, or rather this beast that had taken his place felt it's hypothetical back hit a wall. Why couldn't it attack? Why could it not tear that thing to pieces and feast? Why!? The answer was deep within, the will from before was holding on by it's fingers and strength of mind only. That wouldn't stop this beast for long. The hunger it felt and need for slaughter would not be quenched by it's medeling other half.

This creature in front of it...this meal looked so delicious. And better than that! More were coming. may it be only one but it was still coming and it smelled even more satisfying. How glorious to be 'fed' such a dinner after such a long time. Saliva and aura dripped heavily from it's mouth as the beast paced and waited impaitiently for the slip of mind and control.

As the meal to a step foreward the other entered the area....The hunger took over another notch. The beast wasn't sure how to tell the two apart so he named them sliently withing his min. Dinner...and Dessert.

It observed with a low growl as Dinner began to shout at Dessert. What was with all the talk? Just come over and give your lives to salve the hunger! Why waste time on such silly things?

But the beast drew back and flattened it's ears even as the hunger presisted. Dessert was changing. Her scent and everyting right before it's eyes. The careful eyes of the predator looked over it's new target and a rush of new thoughts came to it's mind...it was after all the only other creature of it's kind it had seen in so long...but the hunger was far too stronger and those thoughts vanished. The instincts of an animal were too hard to control so the stronger ones always won out. Too bad it wasn't the same for man...

Dinner spoke once more as she as well changed. He unerstood what she said but she looked expectant of something. Like something was going to happen. and something did happen. That tiny bit of restriction. The other half...it failed.

The wolf howled starvingly as it lunged forward at a blinding speed. It's large and inescapably powerful jaws were open and ready for blood.

(( thought i'd make it a little fun before the party ended XD nice outfit Suki what top is that? ))

~**Vixze**~

Vixze watched the woman become stronger from the inside out. The inner human personality was rather confused and shocked while her demonic form found her a threat... or more likely a match. She was to not be underestimated tonight. Vixze watched the woman as she spoke to the male demon who seemed on the edge of his control. In a split second everything changed. The wolf had lunged for the woman and without hesitation Vixze bolted in between the husband and wife to protect the woman. No matter how strong the woman was there was no way to tell if she would survive a wolf demon attack. Especially when that wolf had the intention to kill.

Vixze bit down through a patch of fur and some skin on the other wolf as she caught him just behind his ear and pulled him with incredible strength and some anger. A moment later she had his head against the cool soft grass and the moist dirt beneath. Demanding control she growled as her eyes narrowed and she shoved his head further into the debris. The blood was more than the wolf could stand. It triggered her instincts to thinking he was food. She shook her head and Her grip on his flesh in between her jaws intensified as she tried to prepare for his attack against her. Blue eyes darting back to the woman she wondered if there would be an attack from her as well. After all Vixze had just attacked the woman's husband.

[[Guess what I am going to see in a month?!?!? SHINEDOWN!!!! IN CONCERT!! W00T!]]

[sukinamae]

It had become apparent that a fight was going to take place; her main objective was to ensure that no harm came to the newlhy transformed girl and her husband. However, this proved to be a lot more difficult than Namae had first thought, it would seem as though the two had begun to attack. Veritas had launched in for an attack, however, the girl who had discovered them had also launched her attack.

In some ways it was as if the two knew each other with every bite taken, unfortunately with all the noise around them, they were no longer safe. Namae had been moved out of the way as the two fought each other, however, she did not like what she was seeing. Levatating upwards, power began to circle her arms. The aura developed into what can only be described as bright wavy lines; forcing her hands in front of her body, she was able to produce a force that was strong enough to seperate the two creatures. With one hand in front of her she was able to keep her husband pinned to the ground, she knew this would not last for too long. Waving her free hand away from her body in the direction of the other creature, Namae aimed to create distance between the two, besides the way she was being looked at was not inviting.

Even though her intentions were good, the other female was attacking her husband. The main concern was to get Veritas back to normal, her problem was to figure out how this was going to be done. Gently landing in front of the beast formaly known as her husband, Namae brought both hands in front of her in order to hold him down a little bit more. Gazing into his blood thursty eyes, a single tear rolled down the side of her warm cheek. "Veritas, this is not who you are is it? What about your family, your children. Is this what has become of their father?" She knew that the beast would not understand her words, but some part of her wished that he would.

Pain came first. It soon after burst into a dull agony which dissappeared soon after. This wolf was not one to take thing like that lightly. Already as it was pinned down by an unseen but felt force it's flesh was knitting together and healing rapidly.

The wolf was now glaring madly at the half woman creature. the smell of fresh blood, even if it was it's own was driving the beast insane with the urge to feast. Even if it did understand the beast would not be overthrown now. Already a few trees had been broken or uprooted. the small peacful clearing was now covered in giant paw and claw marks. The battle might end up getting out of hand.

Power fluxed within the demon's heart and it's entire body tensed to rock hard qualities. It's legs began to exert tremendous force as both it's demonic aura and it's physical body were fighting against the hold upon it. If the other creature were in it's full form or maybe even just a slight amount more powerful it could have held the demon there much longer. But that wasn't the case. And a blood thirsty demon with temper problems was nothing that could be stopped easily.

Ivory blades of death collided in an audible snap as the demon's perfectly white and razor blade sharp teeth snapped closed. It's lips pulled back in a loud snarl as the glimmering death trap waited inpaitiently for it's prey. It would tear them both to sreds, limb from limb. It would make them both suffer for trying to deny it. But the first would be the other wolf. Revenge was a powerful motive. One that could drive a demon of any kind to many lengths. And this one had so many options.

The strain on the force against the wolf was reaching a stretching point. No....a breaking point. It felt it's own body quivering along with it's opposition. It's muscles were like steel traps being force to open, hard to do but once they were open the next thing near them would be dead.

(( screw you Vix >:T and coolio Suki! ))

[blue-eyed-beauty-89]

~**Vixze**~

Knowing very well that this demon was gathering more strength Vixze did the smartest thing she could do. Let go of his flesh and make a run for it. He was fighting back underneath her body. He seemed to be growing angrier and stronger by the second. A loud snap and snarl made Vixze almost let go of him in fear. This creature was way too powerful for her and she never would stand a chance in a fight against him. She had tried her best and had given her all but it was simply not enough. Opening her jaws she released his flesh from her grip and took a few slow steps back to see that somehow the wolf seemed more dangerous and even bigger than before. Right now Vixze felt so tiny in comparison and after keeping a cautious eye on the creature she turned and took off in a full sprint into the night. She needed to get away from this wolf. She had seen it in his eyes... he would kill her without a second thought.

[[And guess what? Now Im going to see Breaking Benjamin and Three days grace in a few weeks ^_^ ]]

[sukinamae]

Gazing as she watched the girl move away quickly, all that was left was Suki staring into the eyes of her angry demonic looking husband. She was glad that the girl had run off, she knew that if Veritas had caught her with his new found strength; he would have killed her and that was something she did not want on her conscience. She wanted to calm Veritas down, however, she knew that what ever she done was not going to work.

She then levatated in front of the demonic wolf and looked into his eyes, a single tear ran down the side of her cheek as she began to speak. "Veritas, it is clear that you are not yourself anymore. If you feel the need to kill me in order to feed your thirst then go ahead I am not going to stop you". She released the barrier that had been protecting her and waited for him to strike.

[Veritas Airieth]

The eyes of a man . . .

The beast finally stood, free to do as it pleased, fearsome and hungry. One got away...he'd chase her down with a little trouble but he'd get her. nothing could hide that scent. But this one was still here, a free meal. The wolf paced around the being a few more times and tensed it's body. Every muscles a short fuse to a stick of deadly dynamite. Each milisecond passing bringing his jaws wider and ready. His muscles flexed and he moved for the woman. His jaws snapped shut with a massive bone breaking slam.

The wolf's mouth was inches from Suki's shoulder. It had stopped and was shaking voilently as if fighting itself. Suddenly a light came into it's eyes and it's jaws opened again. Only this time it was precise and measured...and words came out "N-Namea...I have made a deal with the demon. It gets control for the night and it won't hurt you" Veritas' voice was weak and strained. This couldn't be easy on him at all. He was using all in his power to speak alone and this was even while the wolf wasn't stopping him.

"F-find that girl...calm her and bring her t-to our hom. I think we should all talk" Veritas gave a muffled groan of pain and took in a deep breath before speaking again "Please g-go now...I will see you in the morning Namea. Tell the children I am busy hunting animals tonight"

Veritas' voice cut out and was replaced by growling. The demon wolf retreated, angry it was denied this meal but satisfied by the deal. It spared namea one more look and the other one's scent one more whiff nefore it bolted off into the woods. It was strangely quiet for such a huge animal. Who could ever have thought such a thing could be in such a gentle man.

. . .Are only one step away from the eyes of a Demon

[sukinamae]

She clentched as his jaws drew closer to her body, suddenly she noticed that no pain had been felt. Instead she heard a familiar voice calling out to her. It was Veritas, at least he was ok. However, knowing that he had made this contract with the demon concerned her. She wanted to help him but knew that there was no way this would happen while he was in this form. She saw that he was fighting in order to speak to her and this made her want to embrace him, his words were shifty but it was clear what needed to be done.

Instead she listened to him speak, he needed her to find the other female that was here. Her scent was still fresh which would make it easy for her to track. Nodding she watched as her husband quietly left the scene. descending to the ground, Namae took her wolf form and began to sniff the air for the woman's scent. She had to find her and bring her home, Veritas had questions and truth be told so did she.

[blue-eyed-beauty-89]

Vixze slowed her pace deep into the forest area and concentrated on her breathing and pounding heart. She sat down ears up and eyes wide open and alert to anything around her. She was still in wolf form as she remained still and quiet. A familiar noise was close by as she tensed and lowered herself closer to the ground narrowing her eyes. That wolf was close by. Was he hunting her? Was that poor girl dead now? The thought sickened her and she quietly growled at the very thought. This was not the same wolf as before. This wolf was much smaller than the demon she had seen before and this wolf was more calm. Was it looking for her? Forcing herself to all fours Vixze stared the other wolf down waiting for its next move.
