The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 5 authors
He got up suddenly and took aim with his handgun, firing bullet after bullet into the beast. The silver tipped ammo would burn the lycan quite severely, leaving nasty marks all over where it was shot. Darren however was in too much of a bloodlust filled rage to stop, firing until he ran out of ammo and kept pulling the trigger afterward despite the clicking. By now the Lycan was quite dead and bleeding out.
"You did it, cher, you got him," she said softly. She looked at his head, noting the wound, before turning to tear off a sleeve from her dress and going to wrap the wound on his head. "At least you weren't bitten, but... I was reckless... sorry."
A pair of eyes was fixated on them both, a slight smile on the face of who they belonged to. This shadowy being appeared to be a small girl who had been observing the fight since it began.
"I understand I'm far from human, far from everything, but if there is anything I can do, or be," she began, before stopping and sighing. She didn't know how to get through, and she wasn't going to force it. "I don't remember myself, I don't remember what I was before I was this, I just remember fear and anxiety, a need to be... something, anything. That's why I consumed beings for a while, and only found myself only more isolated as a result. I..."
She paused as her senses kicked back in, giving her a feeling that they were still not alone.
The figure did a very calm and sinister laugh directed at them both. She kept herself in the shadows so her appearance was obscured. "Well, you took care of that beast fairly well didn't you?" She spoke in a callous tone, as if she was expecting all of this.
She then turned to the figure, wearing her typical grin. "My, my, such a pugnacious tone you have chile, where are your ma and pa?" she asked, tilting her head. She knew quite well that this was no mere child, but all the same, if she was still a child, even by mind, she would be treated no different. "And that beast? It is regrettable, a victim dealt a poor turn, but something had to be done."
"Put it here," she said, repeating it with a bit of disbelief. "First off, how does one simply... put... a werewolf somewhere? You make it sound like you dropped a toy off in the way of others just to watch them stumble over it. Secondly... what is your intent?"
Darren was in disbelief watching everything unfold, quickly standing up once she had vanished.
"I've had it once, but I wouldn't recommend the flavor," she said, being rather impish as usual. "Do you think I'd make a good Wyvern? That could be fun," she continued, grinning. She then cleared her throat as they approached collection. "Oh... oh... but ah, the bounty, yes, the lycanthrope! You know, impressively, the killing blow was performed by Darren himself! I was mostly on guard for the battle. Not bad for a rookie, right? And guess what? Nobody was bitten! Aside from cows, but y'know, better cows that villagers, right?"
"Ah, that a lot?" she asked, an almost child-like naivety in her tone.
As they both were taken by the reward money for divergent reasons, a small dispute has broken out about one of the jobs. Apparently a paper had been placed on the board rather hastily, by a child no less who had thought to partition for their services. As expected, the job was crudely written, full of errors, and the hunters were having none of this. It was an awkward situation all around. The boy was a pretty average child, around ten in age, skinny, a bit dirty and worn out. Obviously from looking, the kid came here by bicycle, as one of equal grime was nearby.
"Where's your parents? Do they even know you are here?" one asked, looking around in hopes they'd suddenly appear to take the kid home.
"Look, kid, there are procedures, and honestly, this just sounds like a bad dream. Too much junk food before bedtime, maybe?" another said, trying to just push the issue aside. "Besides, there's no such thing. Parents make this stuff up to scare you into behaving."
"But-I... b-but... he's real!" the kid pleaded, fumbling his words. "I've seen him!"
The scene had attracted Bellatroix's attention, shifting from Darren, she silently and quickly stepped over beside the two hunters, and knelt down to the kid all in one unbroken motion. The hunters at first unaware what had happened, until shock took them as they became aware of the currently human-like creature.
"What's the matter, chile?" she asked, honestly intent to hear what the boy had to say.
"Eh, don't bother, it is just another creature in the closet, monster under the bed, y'know, we get these all the time," one of the hunters managed to utter, giving a dismissive shrug.
"And you dismiss it just like that?" she replied, giving a stern look.
"W-well, I mean, it is just one child's account. If we had something, wouldn't there be more witnesses?" the rookie responded, trying to apply logic to the situation.
"But they, he..." the boy began, clearly distraught, until his body seemed to undergo a seizure, his body jerking for a moment, before shakily raising his hand, finger to his lips, and shakily let out a hiss of breath. "Shhhhhhh..." To the rest it just looked like he was being dramatic, for the observant, his facial features were stiffened, the very way he twisted his hand seemed forced and bizarre.
"What did you just..?" Bellatroix asked, reaching out to grab the boy's hand. There was a strange look on her face, somewhere between shock and anxiety. Something was there, like a deep distant memory echoing back to her. "Where have you seen that?"
The boy stepped back and away from Bellatroix, staring at her for a moment. There was this brief moment of silence, an unsettling glimmer in the boy's eyes that sent a chill through the old beast. He then went back to his bike and left without a word.
"Guess he came to his senses," the rookie said, giving yet another dismissive shrug.
