"heh thanks Victoria" Fenrir said " but im sure I'll be able to
*hic* get back to the building without any trouble." He says as he
walked straight towards a wall. "Ow, or maybe not" he said while
rubbing his head. He then heard something, what was it? A bird. A
dog? Didn't matter he was compelled to it. He ran over towards a
corner seeing two people and a mutt, that explained the noise ...
hold on one seemed familiar but before he could speak a word he
blacked out
Vannister stopped as the woman turned to face him. He stood
motionless, staring at her for a moment before speaking. "Before
this goes any further, I would like to say, I am sincerely sorry
for what I'm about to do to you. I don't really have a choice." He
sighed, shrugging his shoulders at her. "Your life is simply not as
important as my families." He began the change. While changing back
to a Whight was simple, the transformation to Hollowgast was
excruciating. Vannister had grown accustom to the pain over time,
but it still felt like fire. He let out a gasping cry as his body
contorted. Luckily, no one seemed to be around. A few moments later
it was done, the creatures skin steaming. Panting, he looked up at
the woman. "I... must feed..." He hissed, before lunging at the
woman.
Niran tilted her head, confused on why this man was apologizing to
her. "I don't understand..." The jinn began but stopped as she
witnessed the man change before her eyes. What the...?!
Niran stared at the creature with horror, obviously taken by
surprise. Her instincts immediately kicked in as the Hollowgast
lunged at her, mouth gaping. Niran managed to rolled away from the
creature, a piece of glass jabbed her skin. She flinched at the
stinging pain, glaring at the thing before her. He plans on
eating me? I don't think so. The jinn smirked and stood.

Entering the bar, Rena's face turned even paler than usual. Almost
all of the freaks were here. somebody's not going to be happy
about this.... and swiveled around, rushing towards the exit.
Accidentally letting her tail snap out, a loud 'Pop!' Rang through
the room. Red creeped up her cheeks, burning with embarrassment.
She started pushing open the door to leave, wanting to escape any
prodding eyes.
Victoria runs to help Fenrir. She hoped wolf wasn't hurt. She then
walked to street, she soon had view over everything happening. She
pulls Fenrir in shadow. Something about way human 'If that girl
is human', her brain added, wasn't normal. She should be
scared, scream or run, but she was just standing and smirking.
Victoria was confused and wanted to see what will happen. She
looked at Fenrir hoping he will not wake up. She was ready to jump
in if girl will need help. She knew Hollowgast was probably strong
but she was also strong and, if nothing, she learned a lot through
all her long life.
As Theia walked she felt a disturbance a couple buildings down, she
could hear it too. Most people in that building could hear it. It
was loud, but all of a sudden, it stopped. Down the street walked
the man who was causing the disturbance. She turned to face him as
he stopped in front of her. She tilted her head at him and he shook
his head as he realized that he wasn't in his house anymore. "Hey,
what's the big idea here? Who are you and how am I not in my
home!?" He clenched his fists and growled at her as he went to step
closer but found he "didn't want to." His scowling face became one
of confusion and almost fear. He turned to run, but once again,
found he "didn't want to." Theia giggles childishly. "Having a
problem? I know, you're frightened... I'd tell you everything will
be okay, but that'd be a lie... You're not a nice man to your wife
and son. I can't just let you go back inside to hurt them again..."
The man turned back around to face her, he walked up right in front
of her and fell to his knees before her. His eyes filled with tears
as she makes him relive the feelings of his drunken wrath from his
wife and son's feelings. She reaches out and touches his head. "If
you can make these feelings leave your family for the rest of your
life, you won't be haunted in your sleep by the nightmares that
your wife and son go through in their waking hours." He gets up as
her hand falls to her side and walks straight and rigidly back to
his home. She stands there tapping her foot. Watching, listening,
feeling. Very little sound comes from the house before the light
goes out. She smiles before turning and continuing her silent walk
back to the hotel.
Vannister growled at the woman, crouching low. He tended ready to
pounce, when something caught his attention. A small steam of red
ran down her arm. Breathing in deeply, the metallic scent filled
his lungs and his mind. His whole body shook as the blood rage took
over. He let out a hell freezing screech, before lunging again at
the woman. He gave her no chance to dodge, snatching her up. He
held her up by her waist, six feet off the ground. He gazed into
her eyes, slowly allowing his tongues to creep out towards her
face.
Niran shuddered at the shriek the creature made, causing her to
move slower than usual. Dang it, She made an attempt to move
out of the way as it lunged but he was quicker, grabbing her like a
toy. She gasped as she began to struggle against his strong grip.
Niran watched the tongues menacingly leaning towards her and she
scoffed. "Not today," She growled as her eyes began to glow. Almost
instantly, her skin began to change into black scales and her
figure turned smaller. Now a snake, the jinn easily slithered out
of the creatures grasp and went into a nearby hole. I hope no
one saw that...

At first, he didn't understand what had happened. She had become
a... Snake? The small reptile slithered quickly into a hole.
Vannister tried to snatch it, but it was to late. He tore violently
at the ground, screaming with rage. But it was to late. And now he
was loose in the city, with no control, no mercy, only hunger. He
would keep going until he ate someone, and he might kill many
before he decided on a meal. He growled, scenting the air. The
closest life was back at the bar. So many people there. So much
fresh meat. He turned, beginning to lope back towards the bar. He
shot past Victoria, barely registering her. She was undead, so he
didn't think of her as food. She might as well have been a
lamppost. Someone is walking up ahead. A girl, blind yet not. He
crouched low, letting her walk closer. His mind could not be
detected in this form, so he moved without fear. Closer, closer.
She was only a few yards away when he gave an involuntary growl.
Theia stopped in her tracks having heard the growl. She tapped the
ground several times in quick succession. Her white eyes opened
wide as she realized there was a huge thing very close
nearby looking at her. She couldn't see it through her mind, and
that actually scared her. She turned around and began walking the
other way. Trying to act as though she had decided to simply change
direction, and not hint that she knew it was there. Perhaps it
would go away? Perhaps she could get into a populated area? No.
That thing would hurt other people. She took a deep breath and
stopped as she found a few somethings that might be able to help
her. She stood there, with her back to the thing, in between two
light posts, giving her two shadows.
Vannister crept along behind the girl, using her footsteps to
disguise his own. He hung over her small frame, stalking silently,
confident that he had not been noticed. The girl stopped between to
lampposts, standing totally still. He moved his head down beside
hers, inches away from her cheek. Her heart... I beat fast and
sharp. She knew. He was about to snap down on her head when
something stopped him. Something about her... What was it? He
breathed in deeply, taking in her scent. "No," something
said in his mind. "Not this one." He gave a small barking
noise, gave the girls head a nudge, and scuttled past her. He moved
quickly down the street, towards the crowded bar.
Victoria was kind of surprised when girl turned to snake, she
wanted to investigate it but Hollowgast was in town free. 'He
might hurt someone and that would bring notice to police. We don't
want police involved or near our family.' Victoria thought than
she looked at Fenrir. 'He is a big wolf, he can take care of
himself. And I will probably get back before he wakes up' She
then got out of shadows and went after Hollowgast. She got barley
in time to see him pass next to Theia. She noticed girl was
probably scared but not hurt in any way, so she just passed her
sending thought. 'Go for some help.' Then she continues
following Vannister noticing he is going to club.
Fenrir woke up to the sound of a bark. "Ugh what is it now?" Before
anything answered his stomach stated to rumble "ugh of all the
times"he said holding his stomach, he was starving and needed
something to eat. He sniffed the air trying to smell something that
wouldn't call the police or in his case that and animal control.
"Hmmm holowghast a bit mindless but too hard, human yeah .... just
no, a snake. Wait a snake?" He tought of the scales being crushed
in his teeth ugh disgusting but he needed to eat he dug up the hole
it was hiding in and saw a bit of black "bingo". He brought the
snake by it's tail "so long sucka!" He said before lunging at it
Theia clenches her jaw as she hears the inhalation of air coming
from right next to her face. She gasps at the odd barking noise and
she flinches at the sudden touch from the thing before it
moved past her and down the street. Once there was a decent
distance between the thing and her she let out the breath
she had been holding. She turned her head down the nearby alley and
several stray dogs came out, seemingly as scared as she was. For
they were the help she had called for. She knelt down as the
several wet noses sniff at her as she relinquishes her control over
them. She reaches out and strokes one's head before standing up and
nodding at Victoria, having gotten the message. She called out in
her mind for the stray dogs in the area, if a stray was killed who
would morn? Who would call the police? If anything, the animal
control would be called because something killed a few strays, but
it would be chalked up to a pack war. Theia walked down the street
after the creature, the dogs all around her, listening to the
gentle "suggestions" in their minds to follow her.
Victoria caught up with Vannister before he reached heart of town.
She stands in front of him and growls. ''What are you thinking? You
should have told me! Look at yourself. Are you happy putting your
whole family in danger?'' She continued growling hoping something
of words she said will get to human in mind of beast.She was only
hoping that she can keep him on place and that no humans will go
here. 'Hurry up, Theia' She sent.
Niran waited for the creature to leave, and eventually its screams
echoing away. The jinn sighed and flicked her tongue out not
realizing that another had spotted her. She hissed as her tail was
grabbed and forcefully pulled out. I can't get a break, can
I? Niran slithered away from the wolf, knowing that he would
purse her. I have to change back. As of now, it doesn't matter
if he sees me...I'll deal with that later... Her eyes then
glowed and once again her body changed back to the twenty-year old
woman.

Fenrir chased after the snake trying to understand its every move.
"Come on already it won't hurt a bit" he said. He saw her transform
"what the" he said "another human?" His stomach grumbled "ugh
finish what you started Fenrir." He lunged straight towards her
claws first "time to die ya rascal"
The woman standing before him... He knew her... Victoria...
Vannister stared at her with his large white eyes. Put the family
in danger? No, he was protecting them! Without this necessary evil,
they would be in constant danger from him. As for telling her, how
could he? She would have reacted the same as now. Rage began to
cloud his mind. She should be able to understand his plight, what
with her thirst for blood. His tongues thrashed in the air,
refusing to be contained. He pawed at the ground and growled, his
tone pleading her to move before she got hurt. He had to do this.
For the good of the family.
Theia catches up to Vannister and Victoria, the dogs snow sitting
around her as she comes to a stop. "Victoria, it seems to want
to kill... Would it eat the dogs?" The dogs look to her as they
almost sense what she's thinking. They keep looking back and forth
from her white unseeing eyes to the form of the enormous beast in
front of them. "Vannister?" Her voice betrayed her confident
posture as it trembled slightly.
Vannister turned at the trembling voice. He gazed down at the small
girl before him. She was scared. He could smell it. She had several
stray dogs at her side. He ignored them, cocking his head slightly
at the girl. Why had she come back? He was a monster, and she was
obviously scared, so why not run away? "Theia... Something
whispered to him. "Friend." He took a step closer, making a
low rumbling sound that could only be described as a purr.
