Thread: Precarious Vampiric Encounters ((HaloHeroWolf118 and Miss Alyss))

Edric sat up and pulled on his shirt and boots while she toasted bread for him but hunger was far from his mind as he stood, I'm sorry but I should get going Mrs. Jenny might be worried since I didn't show up for supper. he said. His shirt had yet to be buttoned and his scars were still visible anyone who had encountered animals could tell the largest scar which was a series of five lines had not been made by any animal native to those lands. He hastily buttoned his shirt so he could hide the old scars, Thank you for your hospitality and the enjoyable evening. he added as he made his way toward the door. I hope we might do this again but without the henchmen. he finished as he said farewell and exited her apartment. He left her home and hurried to the bakery leaving his shirt out as he headed for the rear of the bakery and walked up the stairs to his own room. He changed clothes and his eyes caught the bundle under his bed he picked it up and unpacked it. A long trench coat the bottom torn and tattered from countless hunts some chest armor and shoulder guards came out first joined by a long grey scarf whose ends were as tattered as the bottom of the coat. All the gear was soon laid out across his bed the only thing missing was his hat and badge, Even here duty calls. he said as he began to pulled on the gear. Mr. Pennyworth and his pack had watched the Apothecary all night waited spotting Edric as he left and waited for the woman to leave next. It may be ungentlemanly but this girl will provide adequate leverage to get Mr. Edric on our side. he said. But boss that girl smells strange. said the one of the goons. Mr. Pennyworth slapped him hard with the back of his hand with enough force to snap the other mans head side and make him step back whimpering. I do not care we'll seize her in the woods and tell Edric to join our little enterprise. Mr. Pennyworth said smiling a wolfish grin. Mark showed up with his hat and badge as Edric had told Jenny to ask him for them out a chest in his wagon. I can't believe your doing this lad but if you say there are werewolves about I won't stop you. he said as Edric put the badge on and hat which cast his face in shadow hiding his features save his eyes which glowed in the unnatural shadows. I know Mark but I know beasts like Mr. Pennyworth and he'll hurt whoever it takes to get me on his side. he said his voice distorted by the scarf which covered the bottom of his face. The badge was a star with a fanged skull in the center it named him a hunter now he waited and watched from his window till Belamine left to gather what she needed for her store. She was discretely followed by Pennyworth and twenty of his men overkill it would seem but wolves always hunted in packs. He waited then followed. Pennyworth and his men transformed so they could vanish into the woods Pennyworth the largest of all his pack as the alpha. Edric watched them as they tracked Belamine through the woods careful not to be seen same as him he was unaware of Belamine's secret and while she could fight he was sure these were monsters and he knew she couldn't handle them.
