3 Days later. (FELIX/HIRO)

[Deleted]

It had finally been three days later Since Zains meeting with The wolf king Hiro. And the possible turned traitor Felix. In that time though much has happened. Zain had evolved from his shell. He had finally arisen to his true being no thanks to Kayen and Xavier fighting him. From that battle though the two warriors got a large warning. Even though Kayen slipped away..Xavier was not as fortunate as he....lost his head. Now upon the sewers was a box addressed to Hiro. In it was Xavier's Head. A warning to both Felix and Hiro. Zain was close..very close by.

[Deleted]

Of course, Felix knew what had been in the box. It was a simple matter, really. The smell, the pure stench of death and decay coming from it were not enough to override the owner's scent. She brought the box to Hiro., throwing it down at his feet. The lid fell off, and the head tumbled out, grotesque and sickening. She turned from it, her nose wrinkling is disgust. The message couldn't have been clearer if Zain himself had come and told them the meaning of this display.

"Well, Hiro, I'd say that this is the best gift I've ever gotten," Felix remarked, hands on her hips. There was pure sarcasm lacing her every word. For now, she had taken to wearing high-collared shirts and suches, after seeing the black collar tattooed across her neck. It was disgusting, but there was no way of getting it off just yet. Felix sighed. "However, I think that it's best that we do indeed join Zain."

There was a lot she hadn't said before, but now, the small werewolf launched into it. Her green eyes barely left Hiro, intent upon his reaction and response, as well as his decision.

"For one, it gives us a chance to be rid of Kayen, finally. As well, it saves the two of us, along with anyone with some power here, from the wrath of Zain - it keeps us alive. He wouldn't let us live, he told me so himself. Anyway, there's also a slight chance that we could possibly take him out, though I wouldn't count on that. Siding with Kayen would put us in direct opposition to the halfbreed, but if we stayed nuetral, someone would get tired of waiting and take what he wants. I'd say that this is our best bet."

Felix stepped back, looking the doors before looking at Hiro.

[Deleted]

The smell of death and decay entered the area. Only darkness, the death of a fellow comrade. A fellow wolf. No he did not know the head of this warrior. But he felt the sadness of loss. All lycans and werewolves were like family to him. It took him hundreds years to get more then 95 percent of lycans and other races out of slavery. It took him three months to conquer more than half the land. Now, his potential co-leader wishes to throw all of it away. For what? Not dying? He wasn't leader for trading his life over the lives of others. Despite the disappoint he felt looking at her. He kept his face calm and his hands behind his back. He rubbed his chin, then placed it behind his back.

"From what I know Kayen has little land and is of little threat. A while, Zain. He promises us good things. He promises mercy. But from hundreds of years of wars. Deception is a bitter thing. And I no where near trust Zain. If I do die. At least my people with have others to lead them to freedom. I would never trade my people for my life. That is like treason, for me at least. As long as there are those who follow and believe in me I will always fight and never die. If we side with Zain, we would go against everything we believe in. And more than likey be used in the war like dog troops. If we side with Kayen, it would be the same thing. But if we get Malachi or Daimon, if they are still alive, to us. We would be unbeatable. Felix, are you with me? Do you believe in our cause?"

The smell of Zain entered his nose, once more. Zain was closer than before. He placed his hands on the hilt of his swords. His holy brassed knuckles hung from his pants by a chain. Zain was foolish to come back to wolf territory once more. He tilted his head hearing a pop of his neck. The smell of the hybrid Demon and Angel. He wondered for a moment how the hell that would work in the first place. A dark angel and demon, maybe. But an angel and demon. Sheesh. All he had to do now was wait for a witty or some kind of arrogant counter to his speech from Zain or possible loyal or treasonous and sarcastic from Felix.

[Deleted]

Zain appeared from the shadows clapping his hands.
O what a joy it was to be talked about so. He liked the attention..but this was abit of a business meeting

Well now..Malachi.., thats a name I have not heard in quite some time. Interesting to how you know him. None the less I have come for one reason..and one reason only. I want a answer Hiro.


Zain walked up to them as he placed his hands in his pocket. No smirk..no cockiness. Strictly a business look that would look unnerving to most seeing as Zain always had this cool calm collective aura about himself. He was slightly anxious as well. Having heard Hiro mention Malachi so casually. What was that all about? Zain was not one to like being in the dark. None the less that would be for another time.

As Zain looked around he noticed Felix and the clothes she wore to conceal her neck. O how cute he thought. He wondered if Hiro knew about it as well? It would be a shame if he did not.

As for some incentives..I have decided that if you join me..you will keep your title as king of the wolfs. Only difference is this land will be shared between us. Think of it as me loaning it to you to do as you please. In turn I add extra protection over your kind. After all..alittle more protection can not hurt. So what do you say Hiro? I'm bending over back wards here. Say yes..

[Deleted]

The little werewolf detested in having let down her mentor. He was disappointed, she could tell, and the redhead turned away from him. It was a careful motion, and the woman was thinking about her decision and the words to say to Hiro.

"Hiro, you don't understand what I'm saying. If we die, who's to stop Zain? Who's to make sure that we are led with a careful hand, nothing brutal. Joining him.. it not only saves our own pelts, but our race that resides here as well. Do you understand me now?" Felix looked back to him, bristling a bit as she too caught wind of Zain. She had figured the man was close, but this.. this was too much.

She crossed her arms, glaring at the man that had appeared so suddenly. However, she relished having scented him anxiety. It made the woman smile, showing her slight canines in human form. "Tch. Protection? Last I heard, we don't need protection from you. Unless there's been a war declared on us, then please, be my guest to inform the two of us, won't you?"

Felix may have been a smartass, and though those last couple of words were said sarcastically, she was dead serious. The werewolf uncrossed her arms, and stuck them in the pockets of her dark grey skinny jeans, tilting her head to look at Zain. She had nothing more to say, but now she could understand where Hiro was coming from. It was that pride of a leader. But where was the honor if you simply died to protect it, leaving the rest of your people defenseless? She shook her head slightly, directing her green gaze to Hiro. Now it was his turn, and she couldn't wait to see how it played out.

[Deleted]

The wolf leader finally looked down at Felix. He understood her point. But if did die. There was Ramidon, Aiden, Fang, and maybe even Felix. He tilted his head, he understood her concern. But why live under Zain's rule? It was like the mob pressuring a small business. They promise good things, but nothing ever happens but misery.

"You are as beautiful as you are wise, Felix. I understand your point. But I plan not to die anytime soon."

His ear tweeked a bit when he heard the angel clap. Why is it that all angels or dark figures like to clap slowly as a way to let their presence be known? A odd custom perhaps. Zain promises protection and what he saw was death. A funny thing to do really. Send a head of a comrade as a warning then come promising protection. And it was obvious Zain didn't understand the 'rank' of King. He was a symbol of not only wolf freedom but all races as well. Every 'slave' he bought he gave them a normal job, a comfort of a home, and the security of friendship and family. Of course they could leave, but there was the chance of being captured once more. They even had the option of joining and fighting directly under him. Wolves, Nekos, Angels, all races free.

The wolf King was greatly underestimated. Zain had the power of wind and whatever. But Hiro, was a warrior for over thousands of years and had a ability he has yet to reveal. He smiled and moved in circle around the Angel. If Zain truly wish a good friendship, he should understand the wolves way of life. And the true strength and heart he and his men had. And how cunning he could really be. There was no need to want to control the heavens and what not he wanted peace for all. If Zain truly wish for him and his influence to join. Zain had to play his card better.

"Zain, if you wish for protect my kind. Why threaten? Why put fear in their souls? Must say it is impressive to strike fear in so many. But not exactly intelligent to do. I do not think you only wish for this land alone. You are an angel demon. I know you want more then this mortal area. If we were to share this land yo would have this and more while I only control half. And my title will be meaningless. And there is the fact that there was a head in a box for me. If we were too get the short end of the stick and a short leash. Then what? Kill us? Like you have threaten? But more painfully and slowly and more...Humliating. How can you expect me to trust you?"

[Deleted]

HAHAHA!

Zains booming laughter broke out in the room as he grinned so his teeth and fangs were showing.

I SAID I WANTED A ANSWER NOT QUESTIONS HAHA..Its a shame to. You could have lived. Now you both are going to die..

With that Zain threw his hand behind him as the door incased in a thick sheet of ice that spreaded to the windows sealing all possable escape. Something was odd though as Zain began to laugh he grabbed his stomach and buckled over. His hair hanging loosely.

O HAHA..AHAHA....FINALLY I GET TO PLAY..AND KILL.

Wait..We need one of them alive...or maybe there head. Just do not go over crazy ok? Conserve our power.

O SHUSH YOU NEVER LET ME HAVE FUN!

Zain raised his head slowly as now one of his eyes were crimson red and snake like while the other was still green and snake like. Two forces one body. To Hiro and Felix it would seem as if he was talking to himself, but they would soon relize there was more to this madness than what meets the eye.

Ready...

[Deleted]

Of course the woman was armed, even within her own home. Well, maybe not a 'home' but her place of residence. Felix watched Zain, and took Hiro's words to her with a polite nod. Now was not the time to talk about things like that with the Lycan. It would wait until later. However, Zain's new tone and voice had chills going down the werewolf's spine. If she were in her pelt, she would be bristling and snarling, the hairs on the back of her neck standing up on end. It was eeriy, and something that she had never encountered before. Again, her lips pulled back in a feral snarl, her two guns drawn and pointed at the man. If he did indeed wished to kill the two, Felix wouldn't go down without a fight. And neither would Hiro.

The woman knew that escape was impossible. Unless the door was blown open, or something else to let them out, Felix and Hiro would have to battle their way out. "Well, Hiro, let's get cracking at this new side of Zain. He's a nasty, spiteful little beasty," she cooed to Zain, smirking and slowly positioning herself so that the man was between her and Hiro.

[Deleted]

Zain's became greatly different, there was more evil than before. It was a strange prenence, just like Daimon when he changed. Yes he had experienced this kind of fight before. Zain should be faster and much more stronger than before. The strength of Daimon and the insanity of Dark Fang. Not a very good combo. Hiro kept the frown on his face. He wasn't worried, he was fearless. With a scroff the wolf king got into his battle stance slowly, moving his front foot a few inches foreword, his back foot securely behind. A hand on the hilt of blade, ready for a fight. He relaxed his boy awaiting for Zain's insane charge.

Zain smirked as he roared out in a ferocious battle cry as a blackish red fire coated his arm all the way up to his elbow as he threw it in a large arc at both he and Felix before turning his attention to the girl with a wicked grin.


PAIN!

With that her ring around her neck activated turning red infusing her body with tremendous Pain leaving Hiro only ten minutes to kill Zain and save her or the ring would kill her. But before that he had to dodge the chaos flame that was casted at them both. Zain snarled in pleasure as his eyes widened. Zain was not in his full form but it was enough to get the point across not in just terms of power but intelect to. Zain was a dirty fighter and he would win at any cost.

[Deleted]

Her screams reverberated through the room, pain lurching through every part of her body. It was a fire, then back into tehe icicles, stabbing at her, every little bit that was possible to attain on and in her body. Felix fell, crumpling to the floor and she curled up, her nails clawing at her body again. She contorted, she twisted. This was almost like before, at the beach, almost but not quite. The woman now understood what the collar was for, and why Zain had bitten her. It was only to use it against her, not only to inspire fear. There was much, much more.

She clawed, ripping the collar of the shirt, trying to get rid of the intense burning pain coming from her neck. Her breaths, once even and calming, had turned into gasps for air, pupils dilated until only a fine line of her iris remained, the green only barely there. She couldn't stop the spasms rippling through her body, unable to concentrate on anything else. Felix was dimly aware of Zain and Hiro, and the flames. Other than that, all she could do was keep her mind on the pain and beg to whoever listening in her mind that it would stop.

[Deleted]

He watched as Felix fell to the ground and scream with immense pain and agony. As the leader of the lycans, he saw that as weaknesses. And telling by the mark, she allowed him to get close to her. How pathetic to call herself a wolf. But as a fairly close friend, he could only mourn to see her in such pain. He looked around as flames engulf the insane Zain's body, the surrounded him. This seemed familiar. What is with angels and fire? The symbolism of hell to come maybe? Were they so obcessed?

Back to the fight. He wondered why Zain wasted energy blocking the door with solid ice only to melt it with intense heat of this fire. To top that he had to use a woman to hide behind. A wasteful and dirty fighter. He tapped his blade with his index finger, thinking of any possible moves against the furious Zain. Zain was itching for him to fight. But to go so sloppy as of this? Did he truly wish to die? The thing was Zain was an angel demon. Would he just come back? Same thing happened to Daimon. Hiroshi killed him and he only came back stronger.

Choices, choices. He was in quite the pickle currently. Kill Zain and possibly stop Felix's pain. Or kill Zain, and he might come back stronger than before and Felix still dies. There was always that third option that he hated most. Try to reason with Zain. He let out a soft sigh, and began to pet Felix. She was never alone and she had to know that. All before speaking.

"Zain, stop this aimless destruction of my people. We can agree on a compromise."

He said calmly, a hand resting on the hilt of the blade. If Zain didn't wish to reason. Hiroshi would have to kill him, no matter what.

[Deleted]

Zain clasped his hand as the fire dissipated to nothing as he lowered his hand slowly. He kept the pain on Felix though and the time was ticking leaving Hiro only eight minutes till the woman would die.

The only compromise here is with you joining me Hiro and ending this foolish fight of yours.

Zain stepped closer as a smirk crept to his lips. His methods were cheap and usually odd. But such methods proved to work very well in the past and it seems even now they work just as beautifully. This whole...thing was just a giant game of chess. But these peons were simply pawns to the greater game against his true opponent. A enemy who had limitless pawns and power. Lucifer. But the matter at hand was much more important. He pretty much could guess Hiro's move. He would either pretend to bow and then strike Zain down when his back was turned. But Zain had a nice little insurance plan to prevent such obvious betrayals.

[Deleted]

The pain did not stop, and at the moment, Felix couldn't let her mind wander. In this little place, inside of her bpdy and mind, there was hell. It was something that she had never experienced before, such physical torture. It was a fire at one point, burning through her and causing the sudders to continue. He was a dirty, cheap player, and Felix wouldn't forget that, even if she did die here, at the feet of such a disgusting bastard. Hiro was more than likely upset, but there was a calmness in Felix, despite the pain. It made her want to sigh, just to settle down and not wake up. Even in thisprocess of dyin, Zain would not allow her that.

Body writhing on the floor, Felix was clawing at the ground, her nails lengthening to claws as she ripped her at stomach and ribs, again in an attempt to aleviate the pain. The woman couldn't help the quick breaths. She could feel her body going into shock, the tremors that started and went through her spine, with each of them bringing new pain and injury. The werewolf bit down on her bottom lip, drawing blood. It was harsh, and she couldn't stop anything. The petite woman hated Zain, even past the pain. It was an overwhelming wave, and she was soon drowning beneath it, as he gasps for air became more desperate. If Hiro didn't concede soon, she would die right here. Inside, Felix knew that.

She just hoped that after death, there would be peace.

(( Sorry guys, I won't be on much for the next couple of days, up to next Tuesday.. once a day, maybe. ))

[Deleted]

"Why not be allies of equal footing? Why not join forces and not make war with each other?"

He looked at Zain with calm intent. Slowly walking circles around the Demonic fool. Always know one's enemy, always at least show them understanding and respect even if you hate one another. Did Zain have the same morals and virtues of a wolf? No probaly not. It would surpise him if Zain did. He did not fear the Gods, he did not fear the devil and sure as hell he did not fear Zain. But he did nt wish to see Felix be in pain. Even though she brought it to herself. Fang would have to look her over a bit. He tilted his head then rolled his neck.

"Let us be allies, instead of enemies. If you agree, then release Felix from her pain. It is rather annoying. If you do not I will have to end her pain by ending you.
