The Dark I Know Well [Twins] M

[Deleted]

As Mia began to move towards her, Julia tried again to move away from the twins. She was stuck, Mya still had a grip on her chest, though the claws were gone. Before she knew it, Mia was on top of her. She tried to fight back against Mia opening her legs, but she was too exhausted from the pain to put up much of a fight against Mia's strength. Julia tried to force her muscles to clench her legs shut, while doing the same behind her to stop Mya from being able to enter her.

Mya started to push her way in, bringing yet another ear-shattering scream from Julia. She could feel the piercings, as well as just the size, starting to tear at her skin, and that thought made her stomach churn even more. She couldn't even imagine having the other twin enter her at the same time. The young woman just continued screaming, hoping that someone would hear those screams and try to figure out what was going on. She closed her eyes, wishing herself away from this place and back at Gunnar's. Why had she been so stupid to leave without Zeus?

She swore she heard growling, probably one of the twins didn't like the fact she was struggling against them as they began to push their way into her. Then another sound, like a tree being uprooted. She opened her eyes, catching a glimpse of a rather large wolf. A wolf? Her head was spinning with too much pain to actually connect wolf and Gunnar until she heard his voice. She heard growls from behind them, probably Gunnar's dogs. "Gunnar." It was soft, hoarse, and laced with pain, but Julia was rather relieved to see her master.

[Deleted]

The twins heard the growls first. They quickly rolled away from Julia and took up squatting, animalistic stances. Black eyes watched as the werewolf picked up the tree and then he threatened them. They giggled softly before replying, in very cute voices which were equally as irritating. "Ohhh look at the cute little doggies!!!" The twins grinned slowly and then one of them shrugged.

"We can always have a orgy! That's always fun!" The twins giggled and then they slowly backed away. They shifted to their Human forms, fully female and nude. With a little grin, the twins kissed each other. They turned back to Gunnar and waved. "Take her! But we will be back for her... and your little dogs too!" They cackled and then they turned and hurried into the darkness. It was only a few seconds before they couldn't be seen anymore.

The tree in his grasp, he slowly held it off to the side after pointing it at the twins, allowing the flames the lick and etch at the branches, the heat seemingly melting the leaves from existence. It would soon become a massive torch in the hands of one massive Lycan. Each breath that pushed forth from Gunnar was raspy, forced and heavy. His chest rose and fell intermittently, an uneven breath as anger surged through his system. The twins by now had rolled away from Julia- taking on stances that only made them appear smaller than they were. Crouched and watchful, yet their voices were tinted with the amusement of their laughter. Their comments about the 'doggies' were subsequent to the waving of Gunnars free hand in the direction of Julia, the slick canines slithering through the underbrush like serpents- silent but deadly. They came to rest abreast the slave, Zeus taking on a protective stance between the girl and the leech twins, while Deuce, the female, paced around the girl, licking at wounds and fresh blood.

As the twins shifted and kissed one another, the maw of the monumental Lycan twisted in to a wicked grin-like snarl, large eyes squinted in to a soul piercing glare as he took two long gaited strides in their direction. Now raising the large Oak torch above his head in a recoil before tossing it with enough force that Gunnar's feet imprinted the top soils several inches. It would seem the girls had chosen the best possible time to leave the scene as the tree, now a massive inflamed projectile plummeted in their direction. Once landing, it crashed in to several other trees, flattening them, splintering their bases and causing branches to take to the air in a mess of debris. It was obvious- the fact that these girls worked with fire would also mean they would have some immunity too it, but lets see them take a tree twenty times their size colliding with them. The other trees fell upon contact, the loud rush of snapping trunks and branches as they fell hell bound shattering the silence of the night.

Gunnar's attention had turned to Julia before the last of the trees had fallen in the wake of the torch he had tossed, large ears laced back against his skull yet his movements far more careful and less threatening. Monstrous hands, thickly clad in the long pelt that covered the rest of his figure and adorned with talons like no other, hung at his sides, pivoting to face her fully. He remained silent beyond the raspy hiss of his breathing, waiting to hear what she had to say for herself.

[Deleted]

As soon as the twins were away from her, Julia curled into as much of a ball as possible, both from the pain and from trying to cover herself. Her arm was still bleeding, as was her chest, and each still stung as she moved on the ground. She would have laughed at the comment about the cute little doggies if she'd been able to. Zeus and Deuce were anything but cute little doggies if Gunnar wanted them to be. Deuce was quite adorable in Julia's opinion, but she had seen that the dog could be just as vicious as she was sweet. The dogs approached, she could see Zeus in front of her protecting her from the twins. Julia twinged slightly as Deuce's tongue touched her wounds, the dog's tongue a weird feeling against the open cuts.

The twins shifted back to their human forms and kissed each other, then waved at Gunnar. Their words sent a shiver down her spine. They weren't exactly the type of people she'd want to see ever again, so when they said they'd be back for her it was a bit terrifying. She watched as Gunnar flung the tree in their direction, quite an impressive display of strength on his part. The noise was deafening as the tree crashed into other trees, flattening them upon impact. Unfortunately the twins had left already, so Julia didn't get the satisfaction of knowing they had been crushed as well.

When Julia looked away from the fallen trees, she saw Gunnar approaching. Oh dear. How would she explain this to him? She'd been hoping that she would be able to get back before he missed her, that she would be able to just lie and say she forgot to take Zeus out with her, that she hadn't gone any farther than the highway. That obviously wasn't going to work anymore. "Gunnar." She said again, her voice still full of pain and quite hoarse from the screaming. It wasn't as if Julia was going to tell him that she'd gone out to find a pile of weapons she had hidden. "I'm sorry. I just... I don't even know why I came out here. But I knew Zeus wouldn't let me, and I thought I'd be back before you needed me..."

[Deleted]

Gunnar never did sleep much, but either way that would not have mattered. When she returned, he would have known- the keen sense of smell, the sound of her arrival, and of course the reaction of the dogs. Not to mention she would have been locked out, for the fact she left Zeus behind meant she was without a key. Perhaps.. she never meant to return at all? The thought passed through his mind yet he never reacted to it. She was a slave. A woman who was brought in to slavery against her will. Surely there would always be a sense.. a need.. for freedom. Take the chance, make the run- go for it. It was something they all had in them, even the obedient ones. Made trusting them very difficult. Perhaps he would just slap her on a towing chain out back with the other dogs, teach her the hard way that when rules were made, they were to be followed. See how well she did without food.. without water int he desert. Soon she would be begging to be let in.. begging for Gunnar. But he wasn't like that. He had brought her to his home for a reason.. as simple as it was, and that was the way it would be. A decoy.. and a maid.

The massive stance of the Lycan as he stood over the slave was still, silent until she spoke, apologizing.. and even admitting rather than trying to place blame. Shaking his head, tapered snout dipping lower to her as he looked her in the eyes before reaching out a hand to her, palm the size of a dog held out to help her to a stand. She had been curled in to a ball, Deuce still working at the blood and wounds before Gunnar waved her off. " It is my fault for giving you this much freedom so soon." If she never took the hand he offered, he simply would have grabbed her upper arm and lifted her to a stand.

Gunnar looked her over, large canine eyes narrowed to a squint in anger at what had been done to her. A hiss of an exhale seeped through his nostrils at the end of his snout, taking a step to behind her and around the other side to finish his thorough examination, resting a massive palm on her shoulder. "We'll get you cleaned up. How badly are you hurt?" he asked before heading her in the direction of the car which was still running. The high intensity white headlights still piercing the night, and casting devious shadows around them. The flames were dying down, running out of fuel and as he approached, he kicked a load of dirt over them to allow for passage of the slave.

[Deleted]

One of the twins shrieked as the trees started to fall. They quickly jumped out of the way of one with incredible agility. They hissed loudly and glanced back through the flames. He was taking their plaything. The demons were not happy about this overgrown fleabag. They would move back deeper into the darkness and then their demon forms took over again when they were sure they weren't being watched. Wings spread, the twins darted through the forests at a parallel to the highway.

They had been here many times, most of their time was spent in these woods. It was for this reason that the twins knew exactly where they were going. They hurried up a rocky ledge next to the street, several hundred meters away from the Lycan to not be seen. When they had reached the crest of the wall, the twins perched on the edge. They were planning to wait until the car was on the road and then they would take to the sky to follow. The cool breeze of the night air hardened the nipples of the twins, but it would make it so much easier for them to fly.

[Deleted]

Julia stared up at Gunnar, her body still tensed up into a ball, trying to read his face. The night he had purchased her, he had threatened to leave her chained outside like a dog if she were to misbehave. Would he do that now? Escaping had never been her intention, he'd treated her far too well. What would happen if she was caught again, sold to someone else? No, she wouldn't risk that. But would he stay as kind as he had been? She hoped so. Julia knew she wouldn't last too long left outside in the desert, that she would be begging him for forgiveness in a matter of hours if he left her out there.

But it seemed he was still being the same kind master she had known. She fought back tears as he looked into her eyes, then placed her unwounded hand into his and hauled herself into a standing position. "No. I should have listened to you. You warned me that there would be people like this who just want me for pleasure." Honestly, she should have been able to listen to his instructions. There had been no need to go looking for her weapons. There was plenty of space to run around Gunnar's home, and it was much safer there. Zeus would have stopped anyone before they got close to her.

Julia's face flushed, turning red again as Gunnar examined her. It wasn't that she was embarrassed by her body, far from that, she was just a bit uncomfortable with being naked. His palm on her shoulder sent a wave of reassurance through her body; she was safe now, any fear that something else was going to happen had vanished. "Their talons did a bit of damage, it will probably take a while, but I think I'll be fine." The majority of the pain was dying down now, embarrassment taking over as she walked towards Gunnar's car.

[Deleted]

Gunnar rolled his shoulders, the muscles throughout his entire body tense from the quick shift that tore his regular figure in to the beast that stood before Julia now. It had been a while since he had found any need to let his furry side be exposed, yet it felt rather good to be able to let loose. A hiss seeped from the cover of the trees subsequent to the shrieks of the twins, yet only the flick of one large lobe in that direction proved of any interest as he examined the slave for wounds. He was concern for her, unsure if they had broken bones or done damage that could not just be healed with time. He wasn't about to bring her to a hospital, that was for sure.

Taking his hand and allowing him to help her to a stand, Deuce and Zeus strode effortlessly beside her, the thunderous growl from Zeus vibrating through his figure as the twins took flight. Gun nodded to Julia as she explain that she should have listened, finding it hard to be angry with her when he was in a form that was so much larger and prone to doing damage. If he so much as touched her wrong he could hurt her- the serrated edge of his claws, and simply the fact he may not know his own strength. It was not often he felt the need to be gentle with someone, and it had perhaps been years since he interacted with a human so closely that was not meant to injure. No, he wanted her in one piece.

It would seem she was embarrassed about being nude, yet Gunnar seemed to look at the same as he would have if she were fully clothed- except for course for the fact that he paused his gaze on each individual wound which he would not have had such great viewing access of if she was clothed. Massive hand, thick with the long pelt that covered his entire figure, slipped off of her arm, yet he bent at the hip and without warning picked her up. The same as he had when he had purchased her from the auction block- except for the obvious differences. He was a monstrosity, a grey and black tinted creature that this woman most likely would have hunted not that long ago. He never tossed her over his shoulder, he cradled her closely- sensing the tension in the air that the twins were not yet finished with them. His stride was longer, yet he was not hurried as he stepped up the small ditch that the car was parked at an angle on, and opened the car door before letting her down on to her feet. Motioning for her to get in, he would just fold her up and put her in if she hesitated, then closed the door behind her.

The dogs remained outside of the vehicle for now, both of them taking up a spot beside the passenger door, their attention on the sky as they peered in to the night in the direction the twins had flown as if they could squint well enough to make out the detail of their demonic figures in the far off sky. Gunnar slipped back in to the trees, out of sight, in the direction they had just come, in search for the torn jeans he had managed to toss to the side before he shifted. In a matter of seconds, his figure fell on to all fours, back arched to the heavens as his muscled tensed, and the furry exterior seemed to melt in to his figure. His skin tore, muscle noisily tearing and reforming in a matter of seconds. He stepped out of the treeline fully nude, jeans in hand as he shook the jeans to rid of leaves and debris. Walking toward the car as he pulled them on in mid stride, opening the driver door before he managed to button them up and motioning for the dogs to crawl in. Swiftly both of the canines crawled in the drivers door, Deuce hesitantly stepping on to Julia's lap to take a seat on the slave while Zeus went for the floor boards at her feet. No back seat- this would be a cluttered ride home. Gunnar crawled in, closing the door behind him. "Seat belt." His voice was deep, and he never bothered to look over to see if it was already on- just a common request when he had a passenger in his vehicle- especially a human.

[Deleted]

The twins continued to watch the pair and the dogs. Gunnar had turned Human again. Good... very good..... this meant they would have a chance to severely injure him before he could turn back. They would just have to time the attack perfectly and use the car against them. It was only a matter of time before the twins would strike. They were waiting for the vehicle to be at a good speed.

When the vehicle was moving (hope you don't mind that very slight fast forward), the twins dove from the cliff. Black wings extended to catch the wind which pushed the twins higher. They weren't stupid. The twins were flying into the wind to push their scent away and mask their approach. A few flaps of their wings brought the twins over the car and they grinned to each other. It was time... time to get revenge for what the twins thought was rightfully theirs.

Shrill cries echoed from the air as the twins dove. Less than a second after the cry, the twins were alongside the car. At the same time, both twins folded in their wings and used their bodies as flying battering rams. Each one crashed into the same side of the vehicle with incredible force. They were hoping to knock the car from the road at the very least. The best outcome would have been the entire car flipping. After crashing into the car, both twins rolled across the ground in pain. It was only a few seconds before they were back in that animalistic squat, black eyes looking for the results of the attack.

[Deleted]

Julia had to admit that the enormous lycan in front of her was rather intimidating. Over three feet taller than her and quite muscular, Julia was sure that if Gunnar got mad at her, he could literally snap her in two. Well, in his human form he looked like that as well. Not to mention what had happened with the twins. If he could rip an entire tree from the ground as easily as Julia could pull a twig from a pile of sand, who knew what he could do when provoked? Well, she'd just have to be sure and not provoke him to anger ever again.

She was glad he was looking over her wounds, making sure that everything was minor enough to be healed with time. And it was. She'd probably have a bit of trouble sleeping for a while, but with the knowledge of the home's security, plus Gunnar and the dogs and all of the guns, she'd probably be better than anywhere else. And if she took care of her skin while the wounds were healing, scarring would be kept to a minimum. The wounds on her chest were rather embarrassing, but knowing that Gunnar didn't need her for sex made it just a bit better. And then he picked her up. "Really? I can walk, you know." She muttered, even though she knew if he put her down she'd probably take one or two steps before her knees gave out. But she had played the damsel in distress role quite enough for the night in her opinion. Their position was rather amusing if she really looked at it. A lycan saving her. Really. How many of them had she killed, and now one was actually saving her? Well, she was his property, and he probably wouldn't have wanted his new (still all shiny and new) slave to end up dead. He put her down at the car, Julia leaned against the car as casually as possible. As soon as the door opened, Julia gladly slid into the seat and buckled her seat belt. She curled up a bit in the seat, trying to calm down from what had just happened.

When she next opened her eyes, Julia saw Gunnar emerging from the forest. She closed her eyes again, smirking slightly. Well, he had changed from his lycan form apparently. There was a weight on Julia's lap, and a slight "Ow.", more out of surprise than anything else, and she opened her eyes again, Deuce right in front of her. Zeus was at her feet. This would be a rather interesting ride. She stroked Deuce's neck for a moment, rolling her eyes at Gunnar. "Already on." It would seem she was recovering mentally quite quickly. Julia had never been on for showing what she felt, even if she was still shaking from the experience on the inside.

All of her joking demeanor was gone in a flash when she heard the shrill cries. As good as she was at hiding her emotions, there was no way to hide her fear when she realized it was the twins again. No. There was no way they were back. Even as she felt an incredible force slam into the side of the car she was telling herself that there was no way that they were back. She was shaking again, one hand frozen mid-stroke on Deuce's neck as the car was attacked.

[Deleted]

Shifting the car in to gear, Gunnar took to the dirt road. The dust coiled behind them, leaving the dark scene behind as if it had never happened. The cool, calm effect of the soft purr of the engine and the comfortable interior made it possible to relax. The drama was over for one night, however he knew it would not be the last time such things happened. Slaves were bound to be slaves- getting in trouble and going out of their way to get there. There would always be those who sought to make your life more difficult than it had to be, but Gunnar only took it in stride. Secretly, behind that exterior mask of calm and cool was a man who was edging for more action. Gunnar relished int he heat of the moment when things turned hostile and every movement was unexpected. And it would seem tonight was just what he ordered.

It was a good thing that Julia had her seat belt on, because it seemed rather instantly upon the touching of rubber to pavement, a loud shrieking was heard. The dogs had been on edge before they had let the dirt, yet Gunnar assumed it was simply due to the close quarters. The scent of the twins was thick, even if they were up wind- yet once again he let his mind find an answer instead of thinking it through. he put it down to the fact that Julia had just had a romp in the bushes with them, not thinking they would attack again so soon. Sure, follow them back to the house, attack them on home turf.. maybe, but on the highway? The twins were instantly beside the car, and as they crashed in to the passenger side, Gunnars foot hit the brake. It was hard enough his foot almost pushed through the floorboards- and perhaps that wouldn't have been such a bad idea. It would have done more than the brake did, skidding with the high pitched squeal of rubber on the blacktop as the rear end swayed in attempt to pass the front.


The ditch came closer, and Gunnar steered in to it, finding the gas pedal and hitting it just as hard as he had the brakes, shifting quickly to have the rubber try to grip the pavement. Trying to catch the wheels up to the speed of their skid to allow for traction again rather than a slide. The one side of the car lifted, yet due to the fact it was such a wide vehicle with all its weight in the center (mid engine) and so low to the ground, they never flipped. The rear tires finally caught traction, the friction tearing at the rubber and coiling a white smoke beneath the rear fenders before throwing sand and debris when they took to the ditch. He slowed, parking the car and pushing the drivers door open rather quickly- instantly crawling on top of the car and casting scrutiny in the direction of the twins as they came out of their roll on the ground. Perhaps it hadn't been such a good idea on their part- Julia and Gunnar were unharmed, the dobermans now using the open hatch to slip in to the inky dark night and move in on the kill. The twins seemed to be the only ones who had taken damage- beyond the car that is- but it was replaceable.

Gunnars gaze was stern, leaping off of the top of the car and walking in their direction. His chest rose and fell with every step, his intentions: Deadly. One hand waved off to the side, the dogs turning their attention to Julia as they withdrew from their stalk of the twins and maneuvered themselves protectively to Julia. "Shotguns under the seat." Gunnar said, his voice carrying to Julia as his full attention held the twins. Loaded, sawed off powerhouse- shells thick under the seat as if they were a bed for the weapon itself. With the dogs, and the weapon, surely Julia could fend for herself, but Gunnar was not about to let it be tested. He lunged without hesitation, without even a brief moment of anticipation to allow for any empath abilities to whisper of his intentions. Leaping through the air- the flesh from his back spilling with the grey-black hues of his Lycanthrope hide. The material around his waist, the knee-torn jeans, shredded and fell to the desert floor as he shifted mid-leap, landing inches from the twins enraged, and in his second form.

He reached for the twin by the name of Mya- talons having replaced his fingers, at a length great enough to encircle her before crushing. He grabbed for her neck,his grip would hold like that of steel. No words seeped from his snarling maw, the serrated canines jutting from his muzzle snapping at the air in attack on the second twin, Mia.

[Deleted]

The twins watched as the Lycan jumped right towards them. They hissed in unison as the huge hand grabbed Mya by the throat. She gasped loudly and struggled air. Her clawed feet struck at Gunnar's body instinctively, trying to gut him but it was probably fruitless. Her large wings suddenly wrapped around the Lycan with a tight embrace with her feet kicking at his body. She might have been about to die, but she was going to keep him occupied until she couldn't any longer.

The other girl, Mia, used the distraction of her sister with the Lycan to duck the biting and then leap towards the car. Her wings extended to get her there faster. Instead of jumping into the opened door and having to deal with the dogs, Mia grinned and a fireball formed in her hand. She showed no emotion as she tossed the fireball into the front of the car. The flames should have quickly spread throughout the vehicle and turned the shotgun shells into explosions. Mia grinned as she stepped back from the vehicle and waited for whatever would jump out.

[Deleted]

Much of the color had gone from Julia's face as Gunnar began to maneuver the car after the twins' attack. She was sure they were going to flip, half of the car was already threatening to tumble over the other half. She closed her eyes, trusting in Gunnar to make sure they got out of it alive. Sure, Julia liked a bit of a thrill, but not when it was a threat of the car tumbling over and into the ditch looming before them. The car slowed, and Julia cracked her eyes open. Gunnar had managed to get them into the ditch without much damage. Good. Her heart was still racing as he got out of the car and jumped on top. Julia unbuckled her seatbelt, still in the car as she watched Gunnar attack. The dogs were close again, so she felt a bit safer, but there was still the matter of the two twins.

She heard Gunnar as he informed her of the shotguns, grabbing the two weapons and as much ammunition as she could carry and tuck into her arms. Slowly getting out of the vehicle, Julia dropped one of the weapons on the ground, the other held in her hands as she watched Gunnar going after the twins. It looked like he had things under control, but then one of the twins tore away and hurled a fireball at the car that Julia had just been in. She dropped down as the shotgun shells inside of the car exploded, covering her head as well as she could. Ever the hunter, Julia was already aiming her weapon at the demon through the flames, squeezing off a few rounds before moving, still low to the ground and dragging both weapons along with her as she moved away from the flaming car.

Firing off the remaining cartridges from one weapon at Mia, aiming mostly at the wings though the spray would probably hit many places if she was hit, Julia grabbed the second weapon and the rest of her ammunition, trying to keep a good distance between herself and the demon she was attacking. The dogs were close too, they'd probably be on the demon if she started attacking.

[Deleted]

The heat of broken flesh was blood spilled from gashes that split the flesh beneath the thick hide on his chest. Mya's claws made contact intermittently, some merely causing friction while others tore through the meat of his figure. Staining the light hue of his coat with the drizzle of crimson, yet healing rather rapidly- the pain had an edge to it. A flame that ignited deep within.. feeding the fire that would soon burst in to the inferno of utter rage. It fueled him, pushed him further- his massive palm tightening its grip around the one twins throat. Every sinewy muscle throughout that arm bulged, twisted, and grew rigid as he uplifted the demonic entity- the wings casting a great shadow and shrouding his bloodied figure from the wash of moonlight overhead as they reached to embrace him. The hook like talon of his thumb pushed against her shoulder, threatening to puncture through flesh and bone to hang her by the raptor-like claw without the need of such a crushing grip.

Maw snapped closed in a moist hiss of an exhale- missing the second twin and not touching hide nor hair as she maneuvered around him toward the car. The ruthless savage that was Gunnar clawed viciously at the wings that reached around him, his fangs now finding a new target to prey upon as they snapped and ground together in attempt to catch a wing between his teeth and gnaw it from her body. This fire.. this heat.. it sparked and sizzled beneath the surface before the mammoth of a Lycan lifted Mya as far to the heavens as he could manage, turning with a swift pivot and tossing her body at her sister. Taking a step, his entire weight put behind the toss, he knew that if the twin missed her sister, she would probably be embedded in the engine of his flaming car, through the fender and twisted and gnarled by the works of metal beneath the hood.

The single step that was behind the toss did not end his stride, but was only the beginning as he rushed forward, taking immediate chase to the second twin, Mia, hoping to have her in his grasp this time if she had not fleed the scene in the few moments it would take for him to diminish the distance between he and the flaming piece of scrap metal he once called a car. The dogs, both genetically mutated to handle damage in much the same way as Gunnar himself, hovered around his slave, teeth bared and bodies hunched- recoiled and ready to pounce if one of the twins got too close. They often worked as one- the female taking a move meant to disable while the male moved in for the jugular. Julia had managed to escape before the fireball had been tossed at the Audi, squeezing off a few rounds of which shrapnel from the blasts pinched in to his figure as he approached. Flesh molded over the embedded damage, as if swallowing it to use for later. Healing was one thing, but pain was another- a lion-like roar bellowing from his agape maw as he moved in on Mia, in response to the seering heat of the silver-shot ammunition. Only a few feet separated him from the second twin who had hopefully been hit by her sister when he had tossed her, and it would take a mere three or four strides before he loomed over her, chest dyed a deep red from the blood spill from wounds that would be near healed by the time he made a reach for her throat, jaws snapping at the air in hope to grab any piece of her he could manage..

[Deleted]

Mya cried out in pain as her wings were torn. Blood spilled from her neck and threatened to hit her jugular when she was hurled at her sister. Her wings were healing as she tumbled through the air and she tried to use them to right herself. She didn't land on her feet but she managed to hit the ground before the inferno of a car, or her sister. She had saved herself for a moment. Her tail whipped around as she rolled over to her knees, spitting up a little bit of black blood. Black, the color of her soul...

Mia faired much better. The shotgun blasts would fly over her head as she dropped to her hands and knees. She knew the Lycan was coming for her, so Mia jumped into what should have been suicide. She jumped straight into the flaming inferno of the car. Because Julia and Gunnar were on the opposite sides of the burning vehicle, Mia emerged on the far side unscathed. She was also not far from Julia and the mutts. With a grin, Mia launched a fireball at the ground where the dogs were. At the same time she flapped her wings and pushed herself into the air out of reach of any Doberman attack. She turned quickly and faced the Lycan. And she forgot Julia had a second gun... nonetheless the twins had a slight advantage. Mya quickly scurried around and tried to get behind Gunnar. She wished she had her katana.
