Thread: Can you hear them? |Lagertha x Kosmik_Khoas|

Vince smelt the wolf outside with Sani. Snapping his head to the door he growled and without a word to Angi who was still on the floor at his feet he stormed off and nearly took the front door of it's hinges when he threw it open. His muscles rippled under his dark sun kissed skin as he ran across the empty expanse to Sani. Arriving he snarled at Garai and and started to shift. Sani shifted his weight and with the soft sound of dust being shifted underfoot he had moved effortlessly sliding himself to Vince's side. His arms were suddenly three times as large as they were before, clawed and covered in a thick brown fur. The massive paws they ended in both hammered into Vince's chest sending him straight to the ground even though he was head and shoulders taller, and had at least sixty pounds on the older man. With another fluid movement Sani was standing over Vince, a leg on either side of the younger, larger man's rib cage. A massive clawed fist slammed into the ground beside Vince's head causing him to flinch. You will remain calm boy. Grown folk are talking right now, I do not have the time nor patience for your reckless behavior child. So either behave and listen or go back inside with your sister. He said dark eyes boring into Vince's like an auger. Vince swallowed hard and nodded. He had forgotten just how strong Sani was, and how fast the man could shift. It was incredible the speed he could change and the degree's he could control the change, Sani was by far one of the most skilled shifters Vince had ever encountered. Stepping away from Vince, Sani turned back to Garai clenching his once again human fists, his knuckles cracking with the action. Okay boy. Lets for the sake of argument I believe you, because I do. I can smell if you are lying to me, that your pack master is lying and plans on killing the girl, does she not realize that she will be sacrificing her pack to do so, herself included? He asked. A myriad of scents came to them trio as the wind shifted slightly. It was a mix of several animals, humans and something else that smelt...wrong, unnatural. A pack of seven abnormally large Coyotes came trotting towards them, their golden and amber eyes glowing in the dim light of predawn. As they drew closer the let out low threatening growls. Sani raised his hand and they ceased growling, but kept their long fangs bared. From slightly to the east of where the coyotes came pack of ten wolves came standing by Vince who had returned to his feet after Sani stepped away from him. A short stocky man, clearly of Mexican descent soon joined them a toothy, dangerous grin on his face. Two werebears followed behind. Three Navajo women wearing ragged cloth skirts that were little more than a piece of cloth tied in a knot at their hip and no top joined as well. Last to join the group were a group of ten, a mix of six slightly misshapen animals that smelled wrong, a fox, two wolves, a mountain lion, an overly large owl and an eagle, with four men that smelled just as wrong as the animals they accompanied. They smelt tainted with death, like corpses, ashes, blood and dark power. Each and everyone of them wore a talisman crafted from teeth, claws, feathers, and pieces of obsidian. The eldest of the wrong smelling men stepped up silently to Sani and held out a similar talisman on an overly large leather cord, something that wouldn't snap when Sani shifted. Sani accepted and put the necklace over his head and rested it against his chest. Turning his attention back to Garai Sani looked him over and sighed heavily. If you pack attacks, my tribe will protect our lands. If what you say is true, then let it be known to everyone here. This man is a friend to our people. He came to us against his Leaders orders and warned me of what may come. He isn't to be harmed unless he chooses to take action against us. Sani's words were loud and rang clear in the steadily brightening sky which was now the deepest shades of purple, with a thin line of dark red resting on the horizon. The gathering of people and weres all nodded in agreement. Stepping to Garai, Sani extended his hand to the man. The girl you wish to see and protect is safe with us. Join us and after this is all settled I will allow you see and speak with her. Or don't join us but stay out of the fight, either way I will hold to word you will be able to speak with her. Vince bristled at the agreement, Sani was his chief and the decision was his to make, but Vince didn't have to like it. Just as he was about to open his mouth to offer protest he stopped. He felt a deep terror coursing though his imprint link with Mixie. His head jerked so fast to Sani's house his neck popped at the strain. All of you are to follow Sani and do as he says. He said distractedly to his pack. I'm needed elsewhere. He said walking away from the gathering without saying another word. Sani glanced at him for a moment understanding dawning on him faster than the rest. Vince had imprinted on the girl inside and she needed him for something, and that was now more important than anything else for Vince. Entering the house Vince looked past Angi who shot up to her feet from the couch. What's gong on? She asked but was ignored as Vince went straight down the hall to the guest room Mixie was in. Huffing and giving Vince the bird she plopped back down onto the couch and crossed her arms, returning her attention to the television. Stupid dog brained moronic idiot. She swore under her breath. Vince stepped into the room and walked to the bed. Standing over Mixie he reached down and stroked her hair. Don't fret precious I'm here. He said pouring reassurance though the imprint and pack link. Lifting the blanket he slid into the bed beside her and pulled her much smaller body to his holding her against his chest, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Lowering his face he pressed his lips to the top of her head, burying his face in her fiery locks. Her scent filled his head as he breathed in slowly, steadily pouring comfort, reassurance, a sense of protection and a budding love into her to fight away whatever nightmares that were tormenting her.
