Thread: Bleed Me or Love Me, Either Way I Die (Raivh and Rogue)

Continued... The sound of metal scraping against cement was a horrid one, and one that seemed to last forever. Matthew had smelled the smoke before hed seen it, and by that time, it was too late. The vehicle went up in flames, lighting up like a torch. Panic spread over his features like the fire did the car, and he could already feel it burning him alive, melting away his flesh, charring him. It wasnt the first time hed been in a fire, but for a moment, forgetting his strength at the worst possible time, he felt it would be his last. He could hear her echoing in his mind. Shit! Fuck, just open! he bellowed, finally remembering that he could shred through the obstacle in his way. She was out there, right out there. Near the fire. His rage soared, and he slapped out the fire before it could get any deeper into his system. Had he been human, he would have burned alive, and he would have gone up in flames faster as he was now, had he not escaped. Lifting his green eyes from the pavement as she approached, he glared over at her. It wasnt a matter of whether or not she was worried about his wellbeing at the moment, it was the fact that she was advancing on a burning vehicle, endangering herself. His nostrils flared out, and he licked his lips. Grabbing her by the wrist when she reached him, he tugged her quickly out of sight, away from the staring audience, and away from the inferno. What the hell were you doing? Walking towards a fire. Are you insane? he bellowed, gnashing his teeth in her face. There were burns clean up his arms, chest, and several on his face as well. He kept one eye closed, opening it only on occasion, but it was painful when he did. There wasnt anything you could have done if Id have gone up in flames! Jaw clenched tightly, he averted his gaze from her for just a split second before returning her his focus. Now we have a bigger problem, one involving the sun. Its going to come up, Sam, and when it does, were both going to lose our lives, he spat at her, still fuming. That was the stupidest, most woman-like reaction hed ever seen her give, one that made him almost believe she wouldnt have been able to help herself. A team of medical staff rushed to surround him, asking him questions, a gurney not far off. Matthew roared, sending them on their way, and they went quickly, having experienced a sense of control unfathomable. Huffing, he set his jaw, the muscles along his throat rolling as he swallowed, and then he pushed past her. You and your fucking cars ---- Zeb was after her in a flash, kicking up pine needles and dirt from the forest floor. He was enjoying being able to run so freely on such soft ground. To be able to hunt for meat was a rarity for him, as the most hunting he got was done in the grocery store. And maybe he was slipping up a bit, but he hadnt expected her to catch a deer so quickly. She hadnt really given him much in way of warning, and by the time he had moved, the animal was already dead. A large grin spread over his features, and he let out a huff. She was acting a blatant showoff, but a kill was a kill. Good job. The words came as a surprise to him, and he realized then that he had shifted back into his human form, having relaxed enough around her to do so. Even as he stood, human, the smell of newly spilt blood evoked a growl to roll through his stomach. Shifting, he approached her, and eyed her with his piercing amber eyes. Its your kill. So, you choose. Do we haul it back, or partake of it here like our ancestors would have? His chest rose and fell, slowing with each breath he pulled in. It had been far too long since hed been able to really stretch out his legs, get the adrenaline pumping. Stepping forward, he admired her kill with his eyes. Nice sized buck. Too bad you didnt warn me sooner. I would have stolen it right from under your nose, before you would have even had a chance to clamp down on its throat. Smirking, a flicker of alpha arrogance in his eyes, he shook it off, and frowned. He was being rude, and custom was, no matter the rank, the wolf that made the kill got the first choice of meat.
