Versipellis

The moment the blade was removed the wound started to heal. Desten didn't even give the pain a second thought as he continued to stair into the emerald colored eyes of the women before him. When the woman sat down Desten took it as a sign that she was surrendering herself to the idea that he wasn't going to just let her walk away.

"Serenity, Roxana...Please do me a favor and escort our new friend to the house, find her some clothes and something to eat too please. I shall re join you soon." he said finally breaking eye contact with her. Serenity and Roxana where both next to the woman in a flash. Desten turned back towards his brother who was still laying unconscious on the ground with his head resting on Elena's lap. His wounds had already almost completely healed. Desten walked over and picked his brother up off the ground, giving a slight nod to Elena to show that he would take him from there and was greatful for her watching over him.

"Desten are you sure it's okay for her to come with us?" Chaos asked as he came up next to his cousin. "To be honest...no I'm not sure, but I feel that there is much we can learn from this woman about our enemy and right now we need all the help we can get. Just keep a close eye on her for me okay?" Desten said as he turned towards the direction of the family house. The sun was rising now making the whole night seem like a bad dream. The forest seemed peaceful. "Time to go home." he said as he jumped off into the trees, his family close behind.

Roxana and Serenity came up behind the woman. She stood up very annoyed knowing that the girls were about to force her to go somewhere she didn't want to go. The woman glared at each of them demanding they not touch her. She followed behind Chaos and Desten Serenity and Roxana following behind her making sure she didn't try to run.

When they finally reached their home it was soon discovered that the Supremes had had some fun before heading out to toy with the others. The table had been smashed to bits the chairs were almost dust. Dishes were nothing more than broken shells scattered across the floor. Everything that was of any value in the common areas of the house was shattered to pieces. The woman froze in the doorway seeing all the shattered plates on the floor. She looked down at her bare feet then back to the floor. She watched as Desten calmly walked across them to Jack's room up the stairs and placed him in his bed. Chaos stood in front of her waiting for Desten to return.

Desten placed Jack down gently on the bed. He made sure his brother was okay and that his wounds were healing nicely before he slipped back into the hall and down the core door to where his parents room was. Desten pulled out some clothes that he thought might fit the girl along with some sandals. He stopped for a moment to look around the room. It had been years since anyone had even stepped foot in this room, and even longer still since someone has touched his mothers garments. They still had her sent on them. Desten felt a tear tug at the corner of his eye as he started to remember his mother and father. He could still remember their voices, the way they smiled, and even how the used to scold him when he did wrong. He missed them so much, he remembered the vow he took the day he became alpha and how he swore to protect his family. He quickly regained his composer, 'this is not the time to be morning.' he thought to himself.

Desten turned and went out of the room leaving those thoughts and memories behind him. He went back down the stair and into the kitchen where the woman and the rest of his family was waiting for him. "Here try these on, they may be a little tight but its better then running around barefoot and in rags." He said as he presented the clothes to the woman.

The woman looked at the clothes then back at Desten tilting her head to the right in confusion. She turned to Roxana who was on her right. Roxana sighed and took the clothes from Desten and handed them to the woman. The woman then understood what was being asked of her. She placed the white satin dress Desten had offered her on the floor. Before wasting no time removing her old "clothes" to make way for the new ones. She tossed her rages onto the floor beside her and picked up the white satin dress turning it over in her hands trying to figure out how to put it on.

Roxana glared over the woman's shoulder to Chaos who couldn't help but stare in shock at how the woman could remove her clothing with out shame or modesty. He quickly turned around other wise it would be hell to pay later. Roxana then turned her attention to the woman taking the dress and unlacing the back and slipping it over the woman's head.

The woman slid the dress on and turned so Roxana could lace it back up. Roxana did so looking up at Desten to see his expression. When everything was done the woman turned and faced Desten and stood there waiting for his response.

Desten's expression didn't change from the serious demeanor that he usually carried. "Well, glad to see you're not modest in the least." letting a slight grin crease his face. "Around a group such as ours modesty doesn't go very far. So I guess I should explain as to why I brought you back with us, I would love too, but for now my family and i must attend to cleaning our house then we shall talk..." Desten started to say before Serenity chimed in. "Desten we will take care of the house. You take the woman and have your discussion. Don't worry about Jacky either, we will take care of him as well. For a moment we have peace so please use that time to your advantage."

Desten looked amongst the rest of the group and they all nodded their heads in agreement. "Alright, seeing as I'm out voted i guess we can go outside and talk." he said gesturing towards the door they came into. He held it open and let the woman pass before looking back at the rest of the group, some with worry in their eyes and others with questioning looks. "I'll explain later, and I'll be okay. Remember I am the alpha." He said with a light laugh.

Desten stood there on the shore, taking in the smell of the water coming of the lite breeze as it brushed by him, he could feel the power of the moon still coursing threw his vary being. He could even feel the power slowly leaving him as the moon slowly sank down under the tree tops and he could see the sun trying to come over the horizon. From this point it seemed like it was all just a dream, and that was just waking up for the morning rise, 'why couldn't it have just been a dream?' he thought to himself.

Desten turned to look back at the woman, trying to find the right words to say, not knowing where to start or how it would finish..."So how long have you lived in those woods?" He asked almost unsure if that was the right thing to start with. He remember how he had already asked for her name and how she seemed a little less than compelled to answer him, so he though maybe he could learn more about this woman and get her to work with him little by little.

Desten followed the woman to the edge of the forest, he was more than just shocked to hear her call the woods her "Home". How could a human survive for so long and be so comfortable as to call the place most humans would dare not cross into a place of refuge.

The thing that puzzled Desten even more was the woman's apparent lack of communication skills. She made more gestures than really spoke and when she did speak the words seemed to be more of questions than statements, as if she didn't fully understand the very words she was speaking.

"So you've been living in the woods for a long time, hunting vampires I have to assume." Making a gesture towards the teeth that adorn her body. "I have to say I am impressed, but I must ask, why the forest?" He said looking back towards the woods that lay ahead.

The woman listened watching Desten's body language trying to piece together his message. She saw his point to her fangs and then to the woods with a question in his voice. She bit the inside of her lip trying to make sure she was going to answer the right question. She then pointed to the fangs that adorned her wrists and paused as to say 'Vampires' then she looked back at the woods and pointed to them. "In woods." After a moment she shook her head no. She pointed to the woods and tried to motion jumping with her finger "woods" she was annoyed that she didn't know the right words or way to communicate. All she really wanted to say was that vampires live in the next set of forests. She paused looking up at him embarrassed that she couldn't properly communicate with him. She waited for him to try and understand her and reply.

Desten stood there waiting on a reply from the woman, watching her as she seemed to be trying to peace her words together and not having any luck. 'Maybe I can ask this in a different way.' he thought to himself. "So how did someone like yourself come to posses so many vampire teeth?" he asked as he got closer to the woman and gestured towards the jewelry made of taken vampire teeth that adorn her wrist, ankles and mid section.

Desten was very curious to know just how one human could have came to collect that many teeth. 'It would be impresive in even the most basic of lycans to have slain that many vampires, let alone a mere human...then again maybe this was no mere human he was dealing with.'

The woman once again didn't fully understand Desten's question but could read from his body language and his gestures to her belt and cuffs that he was asking about how she was able to slay so many vampire. A slight smile formed at the sides of her mouth. 'She may not have been able to tell him how she did it but maybe she could show him.'

The woman pulled one of her special made daggers from her side and handed to the now puzzled looking Desten. She then jumped back and took a fighting stance showing him to prepare himself.

Desten took the dagger not really understanding what she was trying to communicate. He watched as the woman took a stance a few feet back as if she was ready to charge at him. "Alright, I guess I can play along." he said with more of a questioning tone than a statement as he took his own stance.

The moment Desten took his stance the woman charged him with unexpected speed. She brought her blade across with deadly speed and accuracy and yet seemed as if she wasn't even trying. Desten was so surprised that he barely had the chance to bring his weapon up to stop the blade from being planted in a vital spot and even though he was able to block the initial strike she quickly countered his block and was able to slice open a spot on his leg leaving it torn open almost to the bone.

Desten winced at the new gash that now left a very large open wound on his left leg. 'I guess that's what I get for underestimating her.' he thought to himself as the wound quickly closed itself. Desten turned to face the woman who was now standing a few feet back, still in a fighting stance but now with a very visible smile. Desten brought up his blade, this time much more ready for round two. "Alright, if that's the way you want to play, lets try this again shall we?"

Desten looked at Chaos a little disproving for interrupting his fight with the woman, his attention was quickly changed after the mention of Lucius. Desten felt awful at the thought that he had almost completely forgotten about his cousin. "Sorry Roxanna, I guess i just got a little carried away, but you are right I need to get back to Lucius and need to get word to the rest of the clans to check and make sure that no other Alphasupremes made it out."

With that Desten handed the woman back her make shift blade, "we will have to continue our little 'dance' some other time." Desten quickly turned and started off towards the direction of the human town that he had left Lucius, he paused for a moment in front of Roxanna, "can you please watch over her and make sure she is safe, also try to figure out a bit more about who she is and where she is from if you can. Lucius and I should be back within the week." Desten looked over at Chaos, "make sure they take good care of Jacky."

Desten turned to give one last smile to the unknown woman, turned and with great speed ran off into the woods.
