Stonegit: Stonegit moved his shoulder tenderly, his arm still mostly unusable due to his broken collar bone. He gripped it gently, letting his basic healing magic help it. It would still have to stay in the sling a little longer, just to be safe. He breathed a sigh, glancing over at his two guards. “Rotgrass…Tronpike,” he said carefully. “Open the doors please…I have an appointment.”
Tronpike walked over and Rotgrass looked unsure. Then the guard reached out, stopping his friend. “Wait,” he said, giving a small shake of his head. “ chiefakkeyofthestoichearts was already wounded because of all this.”
“I heard it was an accident,” Tornpike grunted. “We don’t hurt our own.”
“Swords wound,” Rotgrass said. “No matter what the person wielding them believes. And do you honestly think all the men here have the same morals as we do.”
“It sounds like you’re having second thoughts Rotgrass,” Stonegit said quietly, giving a smile. “How human of you,”
Rotgrass ignored him, turning back to his friend. “Face it Tornpike, we serve a madman. As much as I respect and owe to him, I can’t just let him out of a cell so he can hurt somebody. I may as well go attack whoever is on that crazy list of his myself.”
Tornpike grabbed the other guards arms firmly, pushing him back. “I swore to follow orders that did not have me actively hurting someone, or standing by and watching, opening this door is neither, so stay back.” with that he pulled the door open, undoing Stonegit’s chains.
Stonegit rubbed his wrists as he walked out casually, scooping up Akkey’s fallen sword as he went. “You’re a good man Rotgrass,” he said, brushing past him lightly. “It’ll serve you well in the end." 
Tornpike stepped up beside his friend, meeting his eyes, and then slowly tilting his head towards Stonegit’s turned back, gently tapping a fist into his hand. Rotgrass raised his eyebrows, and then nodded, the two of them quietly stepping up behind him.
Stonegit squinted, and then dropped the sword, turning around and blocking Tornpike’s strike. "Guards!” he hollered, the three that had been stationed outside running in. Stonegit ducked down, backing away as a small riot formed in the cell hall. He sighed as the guards fought each other, calling casually. “See them locked up with the other traitor.” with that, he picked up the sword again, stepping out of the prison. 
***Stonegit walked easily down the halls, as if he was right at home, the guards he passed covering for him, drawing attention away from him so that no one raised the alarm. As he rounded a corner, he reached up, taking his pike from a guard’s hand, nodding in thanks. He trotted down the steps into the outside area of the fortress, stopping by a watch tower. The man inside looked down at him. “Glad to see you in the light of day again sir. I have all the on goings of the camp recorded,” he said. 
“Where is Emily the Alpha?” Stonegit asked simply.
“ ectosleuth?” the guard asked. “Outside clearing snow and expanding our fortress. Is that all sir?” he asked, looking unsure. He had been gathering weeks worth of data and Emily wasn’t even on Stonegit’s hit list.
“Just that,” Stonegit sighed, walking away in the direction the guard had pointed in. 
***Emily was doing just what the guard had said she was, almost done with her work in fact. Things were quiet, sunny, peaceful…and then suddenly a pike shot down from above, sinking into the snow in front of her. With a roar, Stonegit’s formed jumped down on her from a snow rift. He grabbed her by the horn, twisting her, forcing her to fall onto her side. Stonegit tumbled onto the ground as he let go, growling in pain as is arm jarred painfully from being used. Breathing heavily, Stonegit stepped forward, jerking his pike out of the ground. “Look at me…” he breathed, his shoulders heaving.
Emily tried to back away. Here she had been, just working with the ice and snow, when Stonegit had come out of nowhere, wielding a pike and yelling. She had been hearing rumors from camp about him and his antics, but thought they were nothing more than gossip.
Getting back up, she glared down at the man in front of her, warily eyeing the pike stuck in the earth. She was starting to believe those rumors might be true.
"Stonegit, what’s going on? What have I done to earn you attacking me?"
Stonegit: "I did not ask…for words!" Stonegit yelled, his weapon swinging around and crashing painfully into the side of Emily’s leg, sending her to the ground. He lunged forward, the pike clipping her in the shoulder before it angled down, bracing against her neck. "I told you, to /look/ at me." his eyes met hers. "Show me your other side," he said darkly. "Show me…the side of the Alpha!"
Emily: Emily struggled against the pike against her neck. Although she was far larger and stronger, he had an advantage with the position they were in  and she knew it. It didn’t stop her from trying. Adrenaline was starting to flow through her, senses running wild with fear and anger.
"I don’t know…what you mean. This is all there is to me!"
Stonegit: "NO!" Stonegit barked, placing a foot firmly under her arm and letting go of the pike. He grabbed her face, jerking her head harshly. "No it is not! You are a half breed! You are gifted with great power, but you have one weakness!" he hissed through his teeth, using all his strength to keep her down. "You can revert to your less human side." he slammed the side of her head in the snow, never breaking eye contact. "Half cats get frisky, rabbits head shy, and dragon…ferocious." he leaned down, speaking in her ear. "Show me that side! SHOW ME THAT SIDE NOW!"
He leaned up, shoving hard and making her roll over, he hauled the pike over his head, slamming it down next to her head threatening. “Revert!” he yelled, his boot kicking her again. “It’s your only defense against me! Show me! Come on! Attack me, forget your human side!”
Emily: Emily got up, still dizzy from having her head slammed. She made sure to keep Stonegit in her sight, she wasn’t letting him get the drop on her again.
"Stonegit, stop! This is madness!" Her voice came out as a roar of frustration and she smashed her hand against the ground in front of him, hoping he would see the error of his ways without her having to hurt him. This was foolish, she wasn’t a half-breed, she just had alpha abilities that she got from the Warden. Her appearance and abilities were different, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t human.
Still, she wasn’t sure if it was the sudden fighting and surge of adrenaline, but it was getting harder to think right. All she wanted to do right now was crush Stonegit, but she pushed that alluring thought away, not wanting to hurt someone she still regarded as a friend and ally.
She instead picked up the pike and tossed it away, hearing it land in a snow pile a few dozen yards away.
Stonegit: Stonegit jerked forward as the weapon was jerked from his hand. He snarled, still never breaking eye contact with Emily, which flared something up inside of her. He yelled, charging forward, ramming his elbow in to her her leg, and then jumped up, smacking her across the face with his fist. “I am a threat!” he yelled, rolling away from her retaliation. “And you must deal with me! Address it, and find a way to stop it…NOW!” he finished, his yell ringing in her ears.
Emily: Emily snapped her head back after she was suckerpunched, shoving Stonegit away from her and sending him crashing to the ground. Blood boiling, she pinned him to the snowy ground with her clawed hands, immobilizing him. She let out a truly ferocious roar, icy breath and cold saliva spraying onto him and the ground around him. Stonegit was truly making her furious now, and fighting as she might  not to, she was close to snapping and going over the edge. Emily wasn’t going to let herself be pushed around by anyone, friend or not. She could still remember with vivid clarity what it had been like to be under the Warden’s control.
Stonegit: Stonegit’s eyes widened, but they remained dead and emotionless despite his heart rate spiking. He turned his head, his hair frosting over, but kept looking at her, his lazy pupil burning into hers. He gripped at her wrist with his good hand, squeezing, and then his fire magic kicked in, burning her slightly, just enough to get her to let go. He shoved up a foot, kicking her in her inner thigh and headbutting her. Then he rolled over starting to scramble away.
Emily: Emily hissed at the burn on her wrist, the heat stinging fiercely. Watching as he scrambled to get away, she breathed in deeply and released, sending a powerful blast of ice after him, trapping his ankles in solid frost. He wasn’t going to get away with burning her.
Stonegit: Stonegit cried out in surprise as the ice caught him, pulling at his feet. He leaned back, trying to melt it with his magic, but faltering. He pulled desperately as Emily got closer, his hand grasping and scratching at the ice. Stonegit gulped dryly, seeing her standing over him, and then he gave a small grin, exhaling through his nose. His hand shot down, grabbing up the pike he had been able to get close to and swung it up, knocking her across the jaw.
A loud keening filled Emily’s ears and the world around her vibrated, her vision swimming. 
Emily: Something within Emily snapped and she let out the loudest roar she had ever mustered. The sound echoed in the frosty air, forming spiderweb cracks in the ice surrounding the two of them. It felt like rational thoughts were impossible now, all she could feel was a ferocious hatred that seeped into every cell of her body. She wanted to fight and destroy anything that stood in her way, and no force on Earth or in Hel could stop her.
Stonegit: Stonegit pulled his feet free from the ice, staggering to his feet. A smile spread across his face, seeing the human side of Emily vanish. “Now, we have a fight!” he yelled, his teeth barred. He trudged forward, swinging the pike over his head and yelling loudly as he approached the enraged Alpha.
He could not afford to let her unleash her fury on him, so he had to take her now. He reached up with the pike, hooking one of her horns and pulling her down savagely. He placed a foot on her hand, using the pike to pull and push her down every time she tried to get up, yelling at her the whole time, and never breaking eye contact.
The pike slammed down next to her head over and over, Stonegit occasionally flicking it so the side knocked Emily in the head, intend on exhausting her.     
Emily: The Alpha felt her strength being sapped by Stonegit as she struggled, wanting SO BADLY to obliterate him and bury him in a sheet of ice. She instead settled for wildly swinging her head, trying to knock away the pike holding her horn or gore Stonegit. His gaze seemed to burn holes into her, straining her eyes as she struggled to look away from that cold stare.     
Stonegit: With one last roar, Stonegit shoved the pike through Emily’s coat, pinning her down. He crouched, grabbed her one with one hand and slamming his forehead into hers, keeping it there. “Look at me Alpha!” he growled, holding her down. “Look at me and listen! See…see for yourself! Question yourself! Do you want to challenge me…or submit?” he gritted his teeth, slowly pushing her chin down to rest on the frozen ground. “Choose…”
Emily: The Alpha stared intently for a few seconds, then looked down, the last of her fight gone. She bowed as low as her current position allowed her to, her anger for the moment cooling off.
Stonegit was her leader.
Stonegit: Breathing heavily, Stonegit slowly stood up. Shaking slightly, he shifted his foot up from her horn, resting it carefully on her head. “You belong to me now,” he said. He stood there for a silent moment, the wind blowing across the hillsides in the distance. Sighing, Stonegit took his foot away, walking past her, dragging the pike behind him. He stooped a few feet away, and then tapped it on the ground once, circling his shoulder. “Follow,” he said in a low voice. “We’re going back to the fortress."
