Thomas Currie

He grunted as the werewolf's claw dug into his side, but the pain didn't wipe off the smile. Perhaps this was understandable, as mere moments after the claw had left his body, the blood on it detonated to the effect of a small fire cracker.
He grinned.

"Yeah, see what I mean?" he asked with a devilish grin at Daniel.

Turning towards Rubrec, he straightend up, though a twitch across his face belied the fact that this move caused him some pain.
He feigned casual demeanour by dusting off his suit and stooping down to retrieve his sunglasses. He still kept an eye on both Daniel and Rubrec, as he did; obviously ready to counter a rushed attack, somehow.

"If you're done playing with puppies, rodents and playdough, brother, I've come to bring you back on track. You can't deny that you feel the Pull, surely? Syria, Persia, Ukraine, South America and Mexico?"

He replaced the sunglasses and cocked his head slightly, looking directly at Rubrec. If anyone else at the scene were any of his further concern, he didn't show it. Except perhaps in an overall tenseness of his body and flexing of neck muscles.
His chest was even returning to the former skinny size and the teeth seemed to revert to human standard as well.

He inclined his head slightly in Becky's direction.

"And when we leave, should we take the trash out, too? Make sure, she never breathes a word of this place, or just plain breathe, ever again," he added in a tone, as if he was idly chatting.

Rubrec DeBheil

Rubrec's hands closed in fists and openend again. He was breathing hard, forcing the air in through his nose and out his mouth.
The five o'clock shade on his chin that he had had, when he came running in, seemed to have diminished somewhat.
To anyone with acute eye-sight, the stubble was actually myriads of small spikes.
He shivered.

"I am not your Brother, Tristan, Thomas, what ever you call yourselves these days. And I will not fall in, subservient to the Void again. Never."

Kirsten was still with the girl, "We do exist, but we mean your kind no harm, we are simply trying to live our lives in peace and one day your kind will understand" she explained and motioned inside, "How about we go inside, away from the fray" she offered with a warming smile.

Riley pulled Ru back. "Ru, don't fight" she asked, putting her hands gently on his shoulders.

Thomas Currie

Thomas snorted at Kirsten's words. Still facing Daniel and Rubrec, he tilted his head slightly and projected his voice at Becky.

"Oh, but I do wish you harm. And frankly, you can't trust these guys either. You've already seen the angry cur in his party suit. A werewolf. A predator. Predators want meat. Who's got meat? You do. The nice lady hanging on to my Brother? Vampire. Needs blood. Who's got it? You do. And somewhere on the premises, there's a human baby. None of these guys are humans, so where did it come from? I think some mother is desperatly missing her brat. Ayup. All nice folks here, wishing no harm. As for my Brother and I? We've got demon blood. It's basically our life purpose to ruin your day, your life, your world."

He looked over his shoulder at Kirsten, then quickly back at Daniel and Rubrec, while still addressing Becky.

"And that one, I don't even know what is. Apparantly, neither does she. I'd say run for your life, little human. Go on. Please do. A hunt makes it more fun."

He chuckled and made a beckoning motions at Rubrec.

Daniel gave a low growl and turn to the castle "yeah let's go back inside but Thomas is not welcome" he said and started walking while grumbling"next time I will be prepared, bloody demon with explosive blood I won't let him harm my children especially.......XAVIER!" Daniel said panicked and bolted inside looking for Clara and their 'son' "Clara? Where are you? It's Daniel" he said as he walked to the castle with a worried voice which echoed through the castle

Becky was concentrating on Kirsten but kept an eye on the others, frowning slightly as Thomas said something rude. She shrugged it off though. She didn't care much for threats. It didn't scare her. Someone could threaten someone all the time but never actually do what that person threatened to do. She looked towards Kirsten and smiled kindly. She nodded, that was a good idea. She wondered how the castle would look from the inside. Maybe it looked like a classical example of a castle, maybe it was very modern, she couldn't judge from the outside of the castle. It made her curious. The guy then started talking again, she turned towards him and listened.

'Well he's one little shit', she thought, frowning slightly. He didn't even look at her, the coward. She hated it when people talked to her but didn't look at her or even face her. Instead he looked at the other two, a werewolf and someone else. It was rude and stupid, disrespectful. And it angered her, more so than Becky could have thought. She rarely got angry but this was plain rude and disrespectful, two things she absolutely hated. Even if he was a demon, he was just another inhabitant on this world and where she'd treat him with respect he just acted stupid. Because he was a demon, he was so much better.

"Listen you dipshit. If you're going to threaten me, at least have some dignity and look at me. You're being a rude coward for not looking at me. Also, your threats don't mean anything to me. You're just a low-life loser with nothing to do but throw a few threats in a cowardice way." She inhaled sharply, taking in a deep breath. She watched Daniel rush into the castle, searching for someone. She sighed, took a few deep inhales and exhales before she calmed down.

Rubrec DeBheil

Rubrec shook his head at Becky's growing anger, like it was something he expected, but didn't particular approve of, or perhaps even something he had wanted to avoid happening, for some reason. He quickly moved to stand between Thomas and Becky, turning to the side, so he had both in his peripheral vision. If it bothered Becky that he wasn't looking at her, he didn't seem to care.
He winced at her words and faced her.

"Stop it, girl. You're playing his game, and don't ask him to back up his threats. He has taken down small armies, turning them into ribbons of bloody flesh and decorated the homes of their loved ones, just to get their ire going. It's what he does. I've even done something like that once, too. A long time ago. The difference between him and I, is that I try to be... less what I am. Some of his words are true, though. There are creatures out there that won't treat you with respect or kindness, even if you show them nothing but. It's a common misconception made by humans who try to be meta-cosmopolitan and accept the supernatural races. They expect us to act with the same free will that was bestowed on humans. Some of us try to. Others..."

He fell silent and looked back at Thomas.

Thomas Currie

Thomas had turned, when Daniel rushed inside and listened to Becky's small tirade with an expression of overt disinterest. As Rubrec interposed himself, he straightened up and ducked his head slightly. He squared his shoulders slowly, as a small grin grew in the corner of his mouth.
In a sudden burst of speed, he bowled over Rubrec, with disheartening ease, and stood before Becky.
His reached out with a hand to grab a fistful of her hair; and if he was successful, he would lift her off the ground by her hair, bringing her eyes level with his and hold her like that. Without much apparant effort.

(Assuming he's successful...)

He spoke in a calm voice.

"In my nigh-on half a millenium on this wretched globule of muck, I have encountered 631 other humans who had the misconception that a big mouth was all they needed. They lived to regret it. But only because I took my time in killing them. Ask my Brother. We share memories, he and I. And he has not learnt to keep his from me. Where as I, relish feeding him mine."

Kirsten turned to Thomas, "If you're going to threaten someone on my land, have the balls to do something" she snarled, her hand now on Becky's arm. "Let's go inside, you don't need to see what might happen" she said softly. "I noticed you have a phone, if you took any pictures of us, Riley won't show up in the picture, hence why we only have one mirror in this entire castle. I would love if you would delete any picture you took of us" she asked in a sweet tone.

Riley stepped up, "To feel big, you use threats, are you compensating for something?" she said blankly, her eyes sparkling, she had a smirk on her ruby red lips, her arms crossed now, one leg out, resting her weight on the other leg.

So Becky definitely had expected a response from Thomas, not from the other guy who placed himself in between Thomas and her and explained why Thomas kinda was who he was. She still thought of him as a coward for not facing her while threatening her, though she knew she was wrong, especially after an explanation of Rubrec of Thomas taking out small armies. She turned towards Thomas as he approached quickly, grabbed her hair and lifted her into the air, without much ease. She narrowed her eyes, bit her lip hard and grabbed his arm, staring at him angrily.

Thomas' look changed to mild contempt as he moved Becky slightly away from Kirsten, still holding the girl by the hair. He sneered at the shapeshifter and reached up to the wound that Daniel had given him earlier. With a grunt, he massaged a few drops of blood out onto his fingers and swiftly flicked them at Kirsten. Where they hit, they burst with loud pops, doing no more damage than toy gun blast caps. But he had been aiming at her distended stomach.

"Really? I should do more, you say? Let me just get rid of this filthy human, and I'll see about getting you an abortion, or caesarian. You look about ready to pop," he said in a casual tone.

Then he reached up with the other hand and swatted at Becky's hands holding on to his arm. He started to turn on the spot, looking very much he intended to throw Becky into the nearest trees, as if she was some sort of athletics implement.

"Seriously, miss Venom? Going for the call-penis-size-into-question approach?" he said to Riley after making one full circle and beginning on the next. Then he let go of Becky's hair.

"I ought to do to you what my Brother never has had the guts to do."

He was all smiles, as he spoke.

Daniel skit to a halt as he heard the bangs. His unborn children were now in more danger then Xavier, he would be safe with Clara, he trusted her in that. Daniel turned around and went on the double back to the group.

As Daniel got outside again he heard Thomas "I ought to do to you what my Brother never has had the guts to do." He heard him say and gave a growl, the girl had done nothing wrong so she didn't deserve to die, yet. "Becky, get away from him" he said wanting to keep her safe, a human teen missing pulls a lot more attention

Rubrec DeBheil

Rubrec had got up, while Thomas was busy mocking the Venom sisters. His brow furrowed for a moment and where ever and how ever hard Becky would reconnect with the ground, her own shadow would rise up to cushion the blow.
As he stepped up to Thomas on Thomas' left side, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. His own shadow rippled on the ground beside him.

"I. Am not. Your Brother. Thomas," he hissed around his teeth. There was something off with the sound. Everyone could hear that. As if it came from the wrong direction. Small tiny lumps of something were beginning to show on Rubrec's scalp, partially hidden by the hair. He still held his eyes closed and raised an arm to strike Thomas.

Thomas Currie

Curiously, Thomas turned to his right and looked at thin air, as if he was facing someone. He grinned and spoke.

"We share the same parent, Brother. Blood calls, can you not hear it beckon?"

Then he ducked under a punch that no one else saw. And was caught in the back of his head by DeBheil's closed fist.
He stumbled to the ground and lay prone with a moment of surprise showing on his face, then he grinned again.

"Clever, Brother. Clever."

Kirsten's skin began to quiver as she quickly turned to ner werewolf form, grabbing Becky by the arm growling at Thomas. "Becky, inside, now" she snarled, clasping the girls arm in her jaws, which were capable of ripping the arm off if she wanted to.

Right, so she was still being held by her hair, swung around and flung towards a tree. Great, not that she noticed, she just closed her eyes, tried to make herself as small as possible to lessen the damage from impact. She landed on some sort of pillow? And once she opened her eyes and got up, noticed it was Rubrec who had saved her from some very serious damage. Thank god, she was not interested in spending time in the hospital at all. She got up, straightened her clothes and looked towards Kirsten as she changed into a werewolf. That too was certainly interesting. Daniel had returned? And then she was grabbed by her arm, teeth sinking into her skin. She yelped for a moment but didn't try to pull it loose in case it would rip her arm off.

Thomas Currie

Thomas kicked himself upright and crouched his shoulders slightly, assuming a defensive posture. The smarmy grin just didn't seem to be able to leave his lips. He moved his head slightly from side to side, taking in as much of his surroundings without ever letting a single one of them entirely out of sight. He backed away a few paces.

"Well, well. Look who's back to play. Did you forget your ball, boy? Or maybe you found your balls and decided to come back?" said Thomas, the double entendre underscored by his intonation.

The grin widened, because the mouth did. The perfect pearly whites belonging to the human face was rapidly melding into the three-rows piranha-like scissors. The whole face elongated and started to resemble something canine. Hair was starting to appear down the neck like a viscous fluid oozing from the base of the skull. The suit shimmered and was gradually replaced with dark scaled skin with tufts of dark gray fur interspersed between the scales.

"And the bitch is getting ready to party too. Lets all go canine, shall we?" there was a winded growl to Thomas' voice now. Like he was snarling down a plastic pipe.

The transformation looked incomplete for now.

Daniel growled and stand in between Kirsten and Thomas"you leave my wife and pups alone!" He said with his fangs bare and his claws ready to rip and slash, cause he had an idea on how to let Thomas blood work against him

A flash of disbelief passed over Thomas' face, then he started to laugh. A genuinely amused laugh that quickly got a malicious tone.

"Oh, Brother. Where do you keep finding such imbeciles?" he said, obviously directed at Rubrec. Then he let his eyes wander over the others.

"Tell me, have you truly not understood yet? How. How can this be? Dogboy, you think a simple threat is going to keep me from ripping your yet-unborn bastards from the womb and paint the door with them? That somehow, because you tell me not to, I'm supposed to not do what I was made to do? And Miss Venom, it really is that simple. I want you and everyone else in the world to die. You are in the way. You are filth mucking the perfect Void. Meat whose only justification is that you will rot in the aftermath of the apocaplypse that my Brother and I are here on this world to precipitate. A.Pok.Alytes. Apocalypse. Get it? We are Apokalytes and we are here to end the world. That is our purpose. That is our destiny. Now, less talking, more ceasing to be," he said and then he pounced at Riley, claws springing from his fingertips and another set shredding the fancy shoes he had worn until now.

As he jumped, it was like a string trailed behind him, linking him to the place where he had been standing. In truth, it was a tail shooting out from the small of his back. And the end of it was a wicked looking barb.

Daniel bolted to Riley and tackle her so she was out of harms way "if you so much like a void why don't you go to space! All the void you want is there" he said to Thomas and watch Riley "are you okay? I hope I didn't spook you" he said and quickly got on his feet with Riley

Rubrec DeBheil

Rubrec's legs twitched, as Thomas pounced at Riley, but he remained standing where he was, eyes closed and arms raised in a defensive stance.

"We may share a parent. We may both be spawn of the Void, but I don't want to see this world end. I will not come with you. I will not leave this place, now, with you. To go to some hot zone in the world and escalate the hot tempers. Those days are in the past. I'm not sure what my purpose is, anymore. I know what it isn't, though."

He spoke calmly and patiently, as if explaining things to a child. As he spoke, he moved his arms and hands in small gestures. They weren't quite matching his words, though, and if they had been meant to underline what he was saying, they failed.

Their purpose was a different one, anyway. On the ground beside him, his own shadow rippled and twisted. On his scalp, the lumps in his hair grew into small horns or spikes. On the ground around Thomas' feet, dark pseudo-matter rose up and held him fast.

Thomas Currie

When he landed, a little behind where Riley had been standing, Thomas was no longer humanoid. A creature with canine features and somewhat larger, than the human body it had been, wheeled about and the barbed tail cracked like a whip.
The maw opened and dark saliva covered the three rows of scissor-teeth. The sunglasses were gone, revealing the solid black eyes behind the nostril-less snout. A full mane of coarse black hairs encircled the neck and framed the head. The hair followed the spine down to the middle of the back. Every inch or so, from the neck and all the way to where the tail began, rust red spikes jutted out from the spine, through the dark gray scaled and fur-covered skin. Each paw sported three forward curving claws, each the size of a steak knife, and two spurs digging into the ground, like a hot knife into butter.

It tugged at the shadowstuff holding its four legs in place. Looking down, the creature snarled, and pulled one of the legs free with a roar that made the windows of the castle rattle. The shadowstuff broke like a chain. The busted links faded from existance before they hit the ground, however.

"Will, or won't, I will bring you back in line, Brother!" There wasn't a hint of human left in the voice.

Rubrec DeBheil

"Don't fight him out of hate or anger," Rubrec muttered, though whether to himself or any of the others, wasn't clear.
Then he opened his eyes. Their colour was slowly cycling through the dark shades of gray, green, brown and blue. Some could find that mesmerizing to look at.

Riley fell to the ground with a loud crash, sounding like thunder. She screamed and let her fury out in a punch to the gut, her arm had shattered, and her back cracked, her fangs scratched across his throat as he was pulled off of her, she jumped back up, and ran to her sister for protection.

The canine creature that was Thomas snarled and tugged at its restraints, but they seemed to hold, for now.
His snapped around to follow the fleeing Riley with its solid black eyes.

"Don't run. You'll only die tired," he called after her, mockingly. The voice was a hollow snarl heavy with promises of death and destruction.

Then he turned his head and looked deliberately at Becky, before he also very deliberately looked away from her and back at Daniel.

"That goes for you too, human."

"And as for your question, furboy, why do you think there's a void out there, why no great civilizations have come by or been spotted? We've already been there. Now, have the decency to fold up and die, will you?"

The tone was light, which just sounded all wrong in a breathy snarl; with just a hint of murderous rage behind it, which fitted the speaker and the situation far better. The creature opened its maw impossibly wide, unhinging the jaw, and exposed the three rows of scissor-like teeth. It was still trapped on three of its four legs, though. The remaining limb was raised with claws forward.
