Night Play (Closed)

[Sweetp4u]

ooc: This is closed for Nightray and myself.

IC:

Kim stood looking at her new home. Sure it was cluttered with unpacked boxes, but it was big and it was hers. She was finally free of all the past. Broke off from it. For the first time in her twenty seven years on earth, she felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders.

It had taken a year and a half, a faked death and a make over to finally vanish, but she managed. She felt like singing and dancing, she felt like crying as well. She had only one connection back in California, a retired old police chief.. Here, she had no one. She barely knew the broker who helped her obtain this old mansion.

She smiled a little. Massachusetts was a distance away, hopefully enough away to escape her past? The house was surrounded by mountains and meadows, a huge twenty foot wall circled the entire property and she was more than ten miles from the small sea side town. She was at last safe from people, safe from their touch and their minds...

Only now she had to figure out what to do with herself?

She moved into the dining room to start unpacking her mother's china when a pounding at the door startled her.

"Who would...?" Her first thought was someone had tracked her down for another assignment.. Or worse, revenge. Her face paled as her hands started shaking.. Could someone she help convict find her here? Was it possible? Anything was possible..

"Stop it!" She chided herself, pushing her panic down to move towards the doorway. She eyed the door, hoping they would go away and leave her be... but that wasn't going to happen. Again the pounding on the door made her jump.

Reacting instantly she ran to her purse grabbing for her stun gun. Pulling it free, she depressed the buttons and watched the little line of electricity jump. Good.. it worked still..

She was alone here, the movers had long since gone. Now what would she do?

The insistant pounding on the door made her realize two things.. Her visitor wasn't going to leave and whomever it was was going to break her damned door down if she didn't open it.

"Wh-who's there?" She called out hoping for some strength behind her question. Her voice came out small and frightened.

"Please! Open the door..." A male voice.

Now what did she do?

"Lady? I mean you no harm.." The voice again plead with her.

He sounded hurt.. Scared? Agitated? She couldn't read his voice, her own thoughts warring so loudly she could barely think straight. Moving slowly forward, she noted the chain was over the door, safe..

She peeked out, barely able to see much but a large black clad man. "What do you want?" She said a little more irritated this time. Much like a normal person would at this time of night.

He glanced behind him, searching the tree line and then up into the sky. "I need assistance.. I will pay you. Any amount, I just need shelter." He turned back to her just as she heard a wolf howl in the forest somewhere.

The giant seemed to sway on his feet, his hand held against his side, his lips pressed together in a pained expression. She let her eyes roam over his face and down his broad chest.. He had a long coat of some kind on, hiding his body, but she could see a shimmer of dampness on his lower left side.

She gasped and stepped back a little, "are you.. Are you hurt?" Her eyes jerked up to his face, noting his look of irritation.

"Yes." It came out clipped, annoyed.

"Well can't you just go to the hospital or something? Why here?" She was worried for him, but cautious as well. Why would she open the door to someone bleeding? She wasn't that stupid!

"I won't make it there in time. How's ten grand?" He rambled off, still searching the area behind him. Someone was chasing him.. She knew it without asking.

She shut the door and pulled off the chain. Pushing the door wide open, she got her first real glimpse of his size as he stood upright. He was at least six-four.. At least! Broad, covered all in black, and blood..

Definite bad guy scenario..

"I will call someone for you.. "

"They won't get here in time. Look lady, will you help me or no? Is it the money? Want more?" He sneared at her as if not used to people helping him and drew out his wallet. He flinched in pain but got his wallet opened. "Here's five thousand..... I will get the more tomorrow night.." He shoved it into her free hand, avoiding the clutched stunner.

"Al-alright.." She looked down at the money, not caring really for the sum of it, but that fact he just touched her and she felt nothing.. She seen nothing?! She had never had that happen before.. Odd.

She moved back and made room for him to enter her home, but he stood immobile inside the door. "What?"

"I can not enter.."

"What?" She looked around, wondering why the hell not?! She just spent a good ten minutes arguing with him about helping, now he wouldn't enter?

"Without permission." He finished with a gasp. Gripping the door, his eyes went wide a little, teetered but managed to stay upright.

"You're welcome in my home! Now come in before you.." She never finished as he fell flat on his face inside her home.

Jumping back, she let out a gasp of surprise and stood motionless for the longest moment. Hesitantly she nudged him with her foot, noting he didn't move a single inch.

"Damn it." She would have fun trying to move him.. Which meant she had to touch him.. She cringed with the thought, not wishing to touch anyone.. never again.

Walking over his head, she bent her knees a little, gripped his coat and pulled him inch by inch inside her home. It took awhile to get his feet cleared of her door before she could shut it and throw the bolt.

She stood worrying her lip, wondering what to do with him when she noticed the amount of blood on the floor.

"Oh great!" She threw up her hands in frustration and moved down to her knees beside him. Pushing and shoving, she got him to his back, all the while complaining about her new home and his blood on it.

"Couldn't you find some where else to bleed?!" She couldn't get him over without a violent shove, which she did. His shoulder hit the back of her couch, but he didn't wake.

Now what would she do? She got up from the floor, moving into her kitchen to grab rags and water. She glared at the man as she scrubbed up the blood, not sure if she was really going to help him or not just yet.

A short while later, she poured cold water over his face, waking the man. "I can't move you damn it and I can't look at your wound until you strip off those clothes." She said matter-of-factly. Normally she wouldnt be such a bitch, but she didn't like this.. Not one bit.. Nor had she figured out why she could touch him, his skin to hers and not see anything.. Amnesia? Possible.. She didn't know him to even ask him his name.

What she needed to do was call the police!

"No.. Please. Don't call them.." His voice was faint, hoarse and dry sounding, but pleading with her.. Good lord those eyes! She gaped at him a second, unsure how he knew her thoughts? The howling outside grew louder, very near her home.. She felt a prickle of alarm go up her back and make her fine hairs on her neck stand up.. She shivered and said nothing for a long moment. "Well then, let's get you into the spare bedroom." What could she do? Why didn't she just leave him on the porch?!

My eyes snap open at the feel of the cold water hitting my face. I growl softly as the pain hits me my hand moving to the wound in my side quickly trying to ease it some. I shake my head trying to clear it as I frown faintly. I blink dazedly theirs something wrong with my eyes I blink slowly trying to clear them everything seems different brighter some how. The change is forgotten for the moment as my head jerks up sharply as I hear the howling closer now.

I frown my eye’s flashing with anger as I think of the fight I barley escaped because of my stupidity I should never of let those dam humans that close to me. They managed to injure me enough that the one I had been hunting was able to over power me it was luck more then anything ells that let me get away.

“Well I got what I deserve.” I think to my self as my head moves in the direction of the voice my eyes focusing on the girl.

I slowly push my self up in to a sitting position feeling my head start to spin from the effort. I grimes as I hear her say she needs me to move so she can get my cloths off to look at my wound. I see concern and curiosity in her eyes as well as fear. I tilt my head slightly considering her words before shrugging and doing as she asked.

I take off my trench coat revealing a bulletproof vest with several indents from bullets the gleam of metal shining where some still sit lodged. I grimace with a sharp pain slamming in to my side as I move. Two wounds that look like built holes are barley visible threw the glisoning blood there are blood stains where there were other wounds but the bullets had went threw me allowing the wounds to heal over.

I growl softly as I look down at my side my eyes lingering on the blood longer then I normally would but its different more vibrant some how more… I can’t think of the word thou. I grimes as I look back up in to the girls eyes frowning as I see the same thing in her face fainter some how but still...

I shake my head there’s more important things to take care of right now I can figer out what is wrong with my eyes latter if I’m not dead. I look her square in the eyes my own intense and forceful. “Do not let any one ells in to this home. No mater what.” My voce is soft and week but the forc of my command is clear and I trust to my powers to infors it. I lay back against the couch my face contorted in pain as I feel something moving in my side. Then a clink is herd as one of the bullets pops out of the wound the flesh closing slowly behind it. I grimus as I feel the other bullet still in my side wedged and not moving.

“The other one is stuck agenst a bone I think.” I say in a soft voice as I close my eyes concentrating on not feeling the pain. “Get me a knife and some neadilnose pliers I need to get it out or the wound won’t heal fully.” I grimes knowing that I would have to wipe her memory after this I’ll kill that vampire that dared to hunt the hunter first thou.

I slowly slide the vest off revealing lurid bruises that are already fading slowly as my body was putting most of my energy in to healing the open wound. My eyes open seeing her staring at the closed wound her eyes wide with shock and amazement at what happened in front of her. I sneer at her innocents her human blindness to the things that star them right in the eyes the things that share the night with them.

“Go now.” I growl irritated at her slowness to acct.

I close my eyes concentrating sending my mind out to find something out side to watch the vampire. I smile faintly as I find an owl flying silently over the woods. I slip in to its mind and look threw its eyes seeing clearly in night. I have it circle the large house looking for the one that dared to hunt me. I smile grimly as I find him sitting still in wolf form on the edge of the trees his eyes gleaming as he stars hungrily at the house sensing me and a human with in. I braise my self to guard the girls mind from his attacks knowing that he would try and trick her in to inviting him in. If I had just a bit more energy I would open the earth beneath him to swallow him and crush him to nothingness.

I have the owl land silently on a near by branch telling it to watch and listen. I keep part of my mind with it so it can alert me if he dos something that I should be aware of. I open my eyes blinking and looking back down to the wound grimacing. Right now I need to take car of this.

She stared at the wounds on his body, knowing he was going to die if something wasn't done. She flinched at his demands, but still remained motionless and staring. It wasn't comprehending in her mind, it was NOT possible!

"I'm.. I'm n-not a nurse!" She backed up a few steps, her features now pale as weakness set in.

No one healed like that! It was not possible! Surely it was a trick of light?

She stepped closer and eyed the wound, No.. It wasn't a trick of light.. "how'd.. How did you do that?" She stammered, gulping down a nervous lump now in her throat.

Now she was scared, now she was more than scared, she was terrified at what she allowed into her home.

She moved off slowly, into the kitchen. She grabbed a towel and the pliers before thinking about it. She took it to him and dropped them on his lap without thought it might hurt him to do that.

"W-wh.. Water. We need water!" Her eyes seemed glazed a little. Glassy.. Her body trembled as her mind refused to believe what it seen, but knew it had happened.

She moved into the kitchen, her mind franticly searching her memories for the location of her car keys and purse. She had to leave! Some devil or demon or something vile was in her living room! God only knew what it would do to her once it was healed.. It wasn't human though.. Alien?

She rambled off thoughts without conscious notice of her behavior. She hunted down her car keys in record time and grabbed her purse.

"I'll..." She called out loudly. What was she going to say?! "I'll get s-some water boil-ing." She felt sick, nervous. She opened the backdoor, shutting it as quietly behind her as she could and into the garage. Getting into her toyota, she fumbled with the keys and the ignition, cursing herself for her stupidity. She let it into her house!

She hit the remote to open the garage and started the car at the same time. Looking up, she feared he was going to come through that door at any second and thromped on the gas pedal. Sending the little car careening backwards without so much as a glance.

I grimes as I pick up the pliers ignoring her fear and confusion for the moment my entire concentration being devoted between the one out side and getting the built out of my rib. I growl as I push the pliers in to the wound I shut my eyes to better concentrate on where the built is in relation to the pliers pain shooting threw my side threatening to cause me to loose my concentration.. I snarl softly as I feel the pliers hit the built jarring it sharply in the rib. I grit my teeth as I pull the built free of the rib that it was logged in. My head falls back on the couch my four head shinning with sweet as I silently curs the one who invented the gun it made my life so much more difficult.

My concentration focuses on the one out side watching him from the eyes of the owl studying him trying to decide how to deal with him when my strength returns. The owls head turns quickly at the sound of the grog door opening the tale lights of the car appearing. I hear the filth below growl in triumph. I snarl as a sudden and unexplainable rage slams in to me my wound suddenly forgotten the idea of the thing touching her is like something ripping at my very sole.

Before I know what I’m doing I’m out the front door in time to see the vile thing jumping to the hood of her car changing from the wolf shape to human as he slams his fist in to the windshield. To hard hits and he has a howl his clawed and bloodied hand reaching for her throat. A vile smile of anticipation on his face twisting it in to an insane hungry mask of his inhuman intent.

I vaigly hear a primal almost insane roar coming from some where as I charge every thing seeming to slow the only ting I hear is my heart thundering in my ears my blood pounding threw my veins as I attack with out thought just the need to rip in to that unworthy worm. I feel a thud as my shoulder rams in to his side a tug as his hand is shoran off at the wrist landing in the car in front of the girl as its blood explodes from his wrist covering the windshield with it before his healing can stop it. I feel a second thud as we hit the ground on the other side of the car. I snarl in pain and rage as he slams his good fist in to my still open wound twisting the pain hire as he throws me off.

My back hits the side of the car rocking it as pain radiates threw my back and up my spine from the fours of the impact. My vision blurring as I watch him crouch before me holding the stump of his right arm still oozing blood as he watches me trying to decide if he should run or try and finish me off. I slowly stand holding my hand over my own oozing wound staring levelly at him my rage burning fearsly in my eyes. I fours an argent smile on to my face daring him to attack showing not the least bit of fear even thou I know as is he could rip me apart but I don’t want him to know that.

I watch as he slowly backs in to the shadows of the near my trees changing and limping off to lick his wounds. I watch threw the owls eyes until I see him leave the grounds completely at least for the night. I slouch then as the pain in my side over whelms me and my weakness causes my to fall to my knees and then to my face dirt gritting in to my face as I breath heavily trying to force the pain down then I fall in to darkness.

Kim

She had seen things in her life time, what with this mental gift of sight, she seen more than she wanted to.. but that in no way prepared her for what she just witnessed.

She screamed when the thing landed on her car. Screamed still when it punched through the window and grabbed her. She vaguely remembered grabbed the steering wheel to keep him from pulling her into it. Bracing, she screamed yet again as it's hand came from it's body and fell into her lap.

The man she let into her home was out there, looming omniously by her door, but he was not looking at her.. his gaze intent on the thing on her car hood.

The smell in the car began to stink so badly, she felt her innards roll and threaten to upheave. Glancing down, she felt the scraping of something along her leg, again she screamed out with fright as the hand tried to claw through her jeans. Jumping, she tossed it from her, threw open the car door and fell out onto the ground.

The thing was gone, the man was somewhere, but her mind was focused on the dark interior of the car... waiting.. Knowing any second that hand would launch out of the car like some sick horror movie and grab for her.

Sobbing she kicked the door shut with her foot and scrambled backwards until she bumped into Scott. Another yelp carried across the woods, scaring birds and other animals from their hiding places. Turning her eyes to his crumpled form, she felt more trapped than ever..

The world swam before her, her lungs fighting for air she was holding. Without warning, she fainted, landing across Scott's lower half, face down.

"Wake up, Kim. It's almost dawn. Kim?.... Kim! Wake up!" the voice inside her mind pushed her to obey and her lashes fluttered as they opened. Who had spoken to her? She pushed against Scott's leg, lifting herself upright and glancing around. True to the voice inside, it was lightening already.. Dawn was approaching.

Below her, Scott groaned and made to move. He had to get inside, and how she knew that frightened her. She never met this man before, but she seemed to know what he needed.

"Scott. Get up." She slapped his leg roughly, rising to her knees and looking around once more for that thing that attacked her.

She managed to get him up, inside her home and the shades all drawn. She went and locked all doors and windows, not knowing they wouldn't protect them... She felt Scott mumble something to her about safe guards before he went out again..

Sitting in a near by chair, she curled up and again let shock take her into a deep sleep.

Scott

Blackness surrounds me moves threw me is everything and nothing It is all I new and now and shall ever now from now and forever. Then there is light brilliant in the allconnsumming dark blinding but irresistible pulling me ever pulling. It fills me consuming me lifting me cradling and soothing me…

My eyes snap open I blink as the light seems to have left leaving the dark to remain and torment ever festering. I lift my head slowly wincing with the effort faint shards of pain remaining from my still healing wounds, My eyes landing on her the source of my inner light the thing holding the blackness at bay. My saver sleeping like and angel beauty and innocents beaconing to me pulling my heart and, soul to protect and, saver her to be with her for all of eternity.

I frown as I struggle to understand my mind sluggish from the loss of blood. The longer I stair at her the more my mind clears and understanding begins to seep in I’m seeing coller the inner light, my rage at the mere thought of that thing touching her. She is the one I’ve been searching for the one that all my kind searches for. She is my other half my soul mate the one who will keep me from becoming like that thing that attacked her. I stair at her amazement at finding her hear like this but then I'm amazed at finding her at all. I can already feel a wait lifting off my shoulders a wait that has been there waying me down for so long I had forgotten it was even there. I feel more relaxed more then I can remember ever being.

I slowly sit up staring at her drinking her in as I thirsty man in a desert gulps at water from an owayes. My eye hungry and for her my soul needing her. I feel my heart pounding in my chest like a love sick boy who’s about to get his first kiss from a movie stare that his been longing for fore years. I just sit and star watching content to just look upon her the danger forgotten with my new found feelings overwhelming my heart and brain.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Kim

She was sound asleep and trapped within a dream.

She could see nothing.

She could hear nothing but her own breathing, labored with fear.

She was running, from... something.

The over all sense was of dread and the secondary sense was of ice cold. She didn't know where she was, but it was woods. She was running from something she could not see, but felt. It would kill her if it caught her!

She ran, but gained no ground. Her legs like lead and barely lifting from the ground. Her heart thundered louder, harder, she gasped for air as denials rose loudly in her mind. Screaming to be let out, to be shouted, she couldn't speak. She was in trouble.

Whirling, she dodged left and right, weaving through trees and brush, tripping and going down hard, she rolled to her back, ready to fight..

She rolled from the chair she had been sleeping on, hitting the floor with a yelp, eyes wide with fear until she realised she had been dreaming.. And that the stranger was staring at her strangely.


"S-Sorry.." She flushed, her hands trembled as they brushed her hair back from her face. Eyes wide were glittering almost a emerald shade as she scooted from her bottom to seat herself once more in the chair.
"Do you need.. anything?" She was afraid she was trapped here with a living breathing danger, not out in the woods in some bad dream. She had tried to flee, she remembered that.. Why she didnt get away was still fuzzy? How'd they get back inside?

She remembered a brief flash of something on her hood and then this man.. She rubbed her forehead, creases forming between her shaped brows as she tried to trigger the full memory to resurface.

 

[nightray]

Scott

I watch as she rubs her head fear coming from her fear and confusion. I sigh softly not wanting her to be afraid of me but not sheer how to tell her that she has nothing to weary about from me that I would gladly give my life to protect her. I don’t know if telling her the truth will harm the sitchuwation more or if lying would be the best bet but then if I lie how will she trust me if, no when she learns the truth.

I slowly get up on to my feat keeping my distants from her for now not wanting to frighten her in to fleeing once agene, now that the sun is up fallowing her would prove to be most difficult for me. The thing that attacked her would be of no harm as long as the sun is up it can’t travel in the sun at all. I begin to passé slowly trying to decide what to do knowing that I can’t loss her now that I’ve fond her needing her to be with me needing the love that only she can give of her own free will.

I stop turning to her once agene thoughts blowing threw my mined even as I fight the weakness to stay on my feat I’m healed now but the healing and the fight both have weekend me. I need blood to regain my strength I could take hers but not with out her willingness her assent. I know of others that controlled there sole mate in the name of protecting them but I can’t justify that not for my self.

I move to the couch sitting carefully letting my legs relax trying to conserve my energies. “I think you have questions many questions espshilly after what happened out there.” I say softy my hand waving vaguely out to where the car is still sitting and the pile of ash that is all that remains of the severed hand of the thing that tried killing her.

“I don’t know where to begin but perhaps with your questions I can…” I sigh softly letting the suntans hang there in a silence that nether of use seem able to break.

My eye’s move to her face meeting her eyes not knowing what she sees reflected in my soul. She can sherly see plain in my eyes just as I can see in to hers. I don’t try to hide anything from her letting her see in to me as deep as she wishes deciding that the truth would be best, for I see strength in her eye’s instinctively I know she can handle it whether she knows it or not.

“Ask of me what ever you will I’ll not lie to you or hide anything form you.” The window in to my soul that are my eye’s are open to her freely giving all I have to make her believe that I mean her no harm.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Kim

"Questions?" Did he really think she wanted to know anything about what went on out there? The more she thought about it, the more certain she was that she had hallucinated the entire events.

She was losing her mind.. that's it! Nothing more.

It wasn't reality.

Besides, who could change from animal into human again? Who could leap those distances and really now.. Fangs? Pahleeze! She wasn't in hollywood damn it!

Her eyes didn't narrow, her temper didn't spark. She was just simply afraid.

"Do you.. I mean, are you here because you want something?" She was afraid to ask, she was afraid not to ask. Would she like the answer? Did she really really want to know the truth?

Perhaps not, but not knowing was just as dangerous as knowing what was coming. At least this way she could contain her fear and think clearly for means to defend herself if the need arose.

"I.. I don't have any questions. Well. Would you like me to contact your family? I have a phone.. in there." She pointed towards the kitchen, wishing he'd pass out again. She felt safer with him immobile.

She gave a small chuckle, more from nervousness than humor.
"besides, I can't have seen what I did see out there.. It's just not.. Well rational." She tried to brush it off, looking at him with hopeful eyes that he would confirm she didn't see anything abnormal.. Maybe even chuckle with her?

 

[nightray]

Scott

I smile slightly at her chuckling at her questions she obviously didn’t believe what she saw. “Want? At first I just wanted to have a place to heal.” I close my eyes for a moment then opening them agene. “As for family they’ve been dead for a long time now.” I shrug slowly tilting my head slightly watching her carefully.

I take a deep breath taking in and savoring her sent. I feel an eager to get up and go to her to comfort and sooth her fear away. I silently curst that bastered for scaring her like this she isn’t ready to know all this she should have been slowly introduced to it to the idea of it.

“You have more questions I can see them in your eyes.” I say softly. “But first do you have anything to drink I think you will need it before I explain anything ells.” I smile softly trying to ease her fear some hating to see it in her eye directed at me. I look away then not wanting to see her look at me like that the idea of her fearing me ripping at my heart.

“You must know that I would never hurt you in any way I could not bare to even think of doing anything to hurt you.”

 

[Sweetp4u]

Kim

"Uh.. I believe I have something to drink.. in the-the other room." She was nervous, he was mobile and a rather large mass of man. On top of it, she was hallucinating, he was saying he'd never hurt her.. but there wasn't a chance she'd believe that for a second!

She'd seen enough in her life time to know that false promises didn't mean shit when faced with someone psychotic. He seemed normal, but she wasn't going to get close enough to find out either.

She skirted around him, her eyes wary and watchful as she nearly ran into the kitchen. She didn't want to hear more, she wanted him to leave her alone!

her hands trembled a little, her mind picturing the things she'd seen outside.. "impossible!" She muttered softly. She hunted down a glass and poured herself a glass of lemonade from the fridge. She couldn't still her hands, so she gripped the glass. She had to think, did she have any weapons in this house? She couldn't really remember if she did or not?

She didn't hear him enter the kitchen, but suddenly she could feel his presense in the room. With a quick jerk of her head, she met his gaze across the kitchen where he lingered in the doorway.

If she touched him, she'd know if he was dangerous.. but could she bring herself to touch him, touch his skin? Getting close enough to touch him, meant he was close enough to grab her...

"Would you like.. something to drink?" She felt like a complete moron, not the self confident woman she had been.

 

[nightray]

Scott

I slowly fallow her to the kitchen my eyes drinking her in not wanting to let her out of my site the need of her filling me just being near her a salve to my inner turmoil. I lean against the door frame sensing that she is still scared of me. I frown sadly my eyes showing my hurt that she fears me even though I do understand why.

I smile almost sadly as she asks if I want something to drink her nervousness plain in her voice. “Yes pleas.” I say softly my voice low and soothing. I keep my hands in plain sight not making any sudden moments.

I watch as she pours me a glass of lemonade I don’t move as she walks towards me noting the tremor in her hand as she holds out the glass. I slowly take it letting my fingers touch hers feeling an electric shock move threw my arm at the soft fleeting touch. I watch as her eye’s go wide as she seems to be seeing something beyond me like she’s looking right threw me. I hold still my fingers still touching hers feeling her hands trembling with shock? Or fear I can’t tell maybe both. I frown worried sorrow felling me as I think she is just becoming more afraid of me.

I feel my loneliness growing deeper my need burring knowing that my relief is so near but yet still far away. I need her to except me to live to be whole to fill the void with in my soul. I begin to tremble her touch affecting me making me want to enfold her but I fight it sensing that would be too much too soon. I look in to her eyes trying to catch them even as she sees threw me at what I do not know and I will not invade her mind to find out.

I watch as she begins to shake from what she sees her knees trembling. I tens ready to scoop her up if she faints. “What’s wrong?” I ask softly concern plain in ever line of my body. “Kim?” I say agene trying to snap her out of it worry growing in me. I begin to guess what is going on she is seeing because she is touching me she is sensing or seeing my past my inner turmoil perhaps.

I slowly pull away taking my fingers away from her hand reluctant to let that small contact to the thrill it was giving fading slowly. I fight the erg to touch her agene to feel her agene but I refuse I don’t want to scar her or heart her. I sigh softly sorrow in my eyes afraid she would try running agene.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Kim

How did he know her name? She tried to think back to the first moment she seen him merely a few hours ago.. She couldn't remember telling him her name?

And the strangest thing happened when she touched him... She felt nothing. Seen nothing! She had no connection with him, no visuals in her mind to assist her in discovering his secrets..

How was that possible?

Her hand jerked back, her pale face registered it's shock in her expression, but she said nothing about the lack of 'reading' him. He might think she was really insane if she mentioned that fact to him.

"Would you like a ride into town?" She was not as desperate now to get away from him, but still very uneasy. Her safe haven was invaded... by what? And the things she saw outside.. Well she obviously needed to see her shrink yet again.

She stared at him a moment, lost in thought. She had no idea what else to offer him, nor how to get him to leave her home. Why would she protect someone she knew absolutely nothing about? He was hiding, but from whom? She still couldn't get over the lack of communication.. Were her skills dying? Was she so rattled she couldn't sense anything about him? Her touch hadn't helped when she was certain it would have..

Now what?

She went back to the fridge, put the lemonade away and picked up her own glass. Sipping it, she moved to the table to sit down. She had to get a hold on herself. She was acting like a paranoid baffoon. Logical was the best route to go.

"Well since you want to go no where, swear you wont hurt me.. Give me a reason I should let you stay here?" She shook a little, uncertain of his reaction to her blunt question, but she was no one's fool.. And she didn't bite easily at anything told to her.

I watch her as she sits in her chair sipping her drink. I lean against the door frame watching her with unblinking eyes. I slowly drink the lemonade as she speaks offering to drive me back in to town obviously wanting me gong. I sense uneasiness in her manner different now that she’s touched me almost like self doubt. “Did she not see anything?” I think to my self as she continues now demanding a reason for me to stay. I frown unused to any one demanding anything of me.

I slowly walk over to her putting my glass down on the table as I stand over her looking down. My right hand reaches out cupping her chin lifting her eyes to meat mine. All I know is I must not loss her no mater what my completeness is all that maters. I know she will feel it her self but first she must admit to feeling it.

“I’m not going any were sweet one.” My voice soft as velvet contains the slightest hint of steal in it brucking no argument. “You belong to me you are my other half.” My words remain soft but the steal in them fading slightly only slightly. My eyes remain unblinking and unyielding on hers boring in to her trying to force her to see what I see with shear force of will. I still refuse to influences her mind but I know she will see what must be.

My thumb absently traces a gently circle on her check as I find my self being drawn in to her eyes once agene loosing my self in there depths. I slowly lean down and gently kiss her my lips barley toucing hers but he electric shock of it slamming threw my body. I pull back slowly my eye locking on to hers once agene.

“You are mine.” My words are soft barley herd but they are a statement of fact. My mind woralling with feelings things that I’ve not felt for so long. The feel of her lips lingers on my lips the thing between my legs growing hard and throbbing painfully needing to be touched by her to feel her flesh agonist it. I know that its lust and that I have to control it she is mine but I don’t want to scar her.

I straiten my hand still touching her check now that physical contact has been truly made I don’t want to reles it I want to hold her to corres her to rule and protect her. “Buleav what you saw out there buleav it and take it to heart because now that I’ve fond you satin him self will not take you form me.” Agene my words never raze and remain soft but it’s like a silk sheath over a cold steal blade.

My finger moves from her check to her lips tracing them as jolts of electric publisher running threw my hand up my arm and blasting behind my eyes in brilliant colors. My eyes begin to burn with a volatile mix of lust and love desire to own her heart and soul.

Agene I lean down slowly something pulling me to her lips agene this time the kiss is longer my tong slipping between her lips. My eye shout as my hand keeps her from pulling away if she tried my mind exploding with the intense feelings blasting over my very soul a soft growl escaping my throat my lips pressing harder in to hers my tong moving deeper exploring.

She belonged to him?!

That statement confused her, caused an instant reaction to rebuff his claims to her, but it all halted when he approached her and caressed her face.

All thoughts fled her mind, all denials died on her lips. Her eyes held his and could actually see the affirmation in his eyes. He honestly believed she was his!

And that comment of his should have had her laughing or calling the cops, but still she was loathed to move away from such a shockingly hot caress.

Fire sparked in her system, his lips some how caressing her own, illiciting a response before she could think twice about it. Her lips parted slightly and then he was gone once more.

Nothing but lust singed through her. Not any of his inner thoughts, no secreted past he couldn't normally hide from her. But it was hidden!

She was startled to hear the heavy breathing in the room, even more startled and embarassed to notice it was her own. Her voice was hoarse, throat dry while her body seemed to sweat all moisture from her body in that instant. Again a denial rose in her mind, and maybe sensing it coming, he bent and kissed her yet again.

Kissing her so deeply, he robbed her of breath, reason and reluctance. She didn't fear him, she wanted instead to climb inside him and hold tight.

What had he done to her?!

With a growl of hot need, she gripped the laples of his shirt and tugged him to her, standing as she did so. Their mouths were fused tightly together, hungrily feasting from an unlikely source, wrapping her snugly in a blanket of blind lust.

"What are you doing to me?!" Her mind cried out as the need grew, awakening her from the ambrosia of his kiss. She stared dumbly at his mouth a moment before she lapped his flavor away from her lips. She backed away a few steps without a word before fleeing to the living room.

 

[nightray]

I smile as I watch her flee the room knowing that she can not fight this forever knowing that she will com to accept even need my touch as much as I need hers. I slowly fallow her in to the other room my eyes never blinking needing to feast on her beauty noticing the color of her clothes and the hue of her skill exiting me as it’s been so long sins I’ve seen culler so sharp and vibrant.

I move up behind her quietly knowing she can’t hear me but she can feel me as I can feel her. I know that I could find her in a bitch dark room full of other just bye sensing her worth the warmth that she is giving to me that will keep me from the fait of that thing out side. I press up agenst her back needing to feel her not getting enough.

My lips move to her ear my voice coming out softly my breath tickling her earlobe. “You are my other half you are what completes my soul just as I’m what couplets you. You know you’ve been missing something like you’ve been empty I know you’ve been searching for that part even if you didn’t know what you were searching for. Well now you have fond me and I have fond you, we are now complete two parts of a howl.” My lips part slightly as my mouth find her earlobe gently sucking it in to my mouth as my hand move around her waste comforting protecting giving as much as I’m taking.

My body tingles with life every cell in my body seeming to be newly energized and dancing. I feel giddy happy I think that’s the new wonderful emotion happiness something I’ve never truly felt before and now I feel drunk with it. My finger lightly cores her tummy as I hold her in a gentle but demanding embrace not letting her run agene needing this and knowing that I need to show her that this is what she needs to. I pull her closer to me letting her ass press agenst my cock feeling it grow to life at the touch knowing she can feel the throb of the large powerful organ agenst her ass. I keep my hands on her tummy for now not wanting to push her too far too fast the strain of not ripping her clothes off and baring my self in her makes my body tremble.

I know I can’t resist for long but don’t want to scar her. I let a soft growls escape my lips as my mouth moves to her neck gently nipping at it letting my long K-nine’s scrape across her skin fighting the erg to bite and feast knowing that she must give it willingly for that to happen. With out thought my hands move up and cup her breasts as my throbbing manhood grinds agers her tight ass. My hands squeeze gently the worm globes of her breasts all most burning me even before I touch her bare skin. I moan longingly as my hands move to the caller of her shirt and with a seemingly effortless movement I rip it down the front baring her to me.

"It's.. not that simple! I barely know you.. If you can call a few hours knowing someone! And you expect me to believe I am your soul mate? Seriously, who uses those terms any more?" She trembled under his hands as he teased at her neck.

Delicious shivers raced up and down her spine, her knees going weak and her morals were slipping into the 'i-dont-care' mode.

God! I need this! Again her mind was adding torment to the moment. Since he'd come to the door she had been doing nothing but acting like a complete moron. Not a rational, well-to-do woman. Instead she was seeing things, running away from her own house and now being man handled in her living room.. without protest!

She was ready to turn and go when his hands cupped her breasts. She gasped sharply, her eyes wide but unseeing as her nipples grew taunt under his hands. "Please.. don't do this to me.." She whimpered softly, wishing she had more self control to push him away. But she was too damned weak to do so, it has been too long since someone touched her like this.. Since someone needed her like this.

He growled in a very primitive manner, almost feline as his hands tore her shirt wide open. "SCOTT!" She gaped now, staring down at her bare flesh held tenderly in his grasp. "Really now! You just can't do those things..." Her words trailed away as he teased her nipples by tugging each one, rolling and rugging, releasing and still he played at her neck.

"Fuckin' tease!' She growled at him herself and jerked out of his grasp. Chest heaving, she turned to face him with a stern scowl on her face. "I am not some.. floozy you can just maul because you want to! And certainly not in the living room, on two hours of aquaintences.." She huffed at him. "And stop looking so damned adorable!" She shouted at him.

This was just too much for any sane woman to cope with. Really it was. A gorgeous man comes stalking into her house, claims she's his to do with as he pleases, seduces her like a cheap date and he expects her to just roll over and spread them!?

God YES! YES YES!" Her mind kept screaming at her rational side to shut the fuck up and strip while her rational side was telling her to put Scott in another room so she'd be safe.

"I am losing my mind.." She threw up her hands and turned her back to him once again, chewing on her thumb, trying to sort this all out.

Scott

I watch her as she glares at me trying to make me stop not believing what I know to true and I know she knows it too even if it’s a subconscious thing. My eye’s briefly drop to her exposed breasts the shreds f her shirt framing hem. I smile to my self as she is not trying to cover her self. I stand still as stone as she terns her back to me agene her hand moving up to chew on her thumb.

Thou on the out side it seems I’m still unmoving as rock on the inside I’m writhing my need for her growing every second. “You are my other half I’ve been looking for you longer then you are ready to bulev.” My voice is soft soothing almost like velvet but a velvet covering steal not quit hiding the strength of my words or the serenity of them.

“I new you were the one the minute I set eyes on you, and now that I fond you I WILL not let you go. I need you just as y99u need me.” I move up gently behind her agene silent as a cat. I don’t touch her but my lips move to her ear not quite touching as my voice becomes even softer. “Why do you resist what you know deep down must be?” My hot breath moving over her ear tickling.

My hand gently moves up and tilts her head to face me. My lips softly torching her lips before sucking her lower lip in to my mouth gently sucking and nipping it before I let go.

“Let your self feel my love let what must be happen don’t fight it.” My words still soothing soft. “Look in to my eyes and tell me I’m lying to you tell me what I’m feeling is fauls.” I look unblinking in to her eyes.

MY hands move agene around her waist gently caressing her tummy. I don’t press in to her I want her to know that I want more from her then just sex. I feel my self acktchily begin to tremble now need of her touch growing her closeness torcher to me with out her touching responding to me I feel like I will crack and shatter if she refuses me utterly.

I slowly tern her around keeping are eyes locked putting all of my new found feeling in to them willing her to feel what I feel to see what I see so clearly. “I need you.” I say simply my voice soft the steal from earlier now completely goon as I try to make her understand.

I then pull her tightly to my chest squeezing her tightly feeling her worth agene drinking it in needing it. My hands move over her back soothing caressing. I rest the side of my head on top of hers as I feel my self throbbing in my pants. I feel her hard nipples burning in to my chest.

She sighed heavily, trying hard not to lose patience with this guy and call the the police.

"Look.. Buddy.. Scott.. Whatever your name is. It's just not.. reasonable to say you are my other half. I mean I barely know you!" She was frustrated!

She couldn't read him by touching him, some how he could block her intrusions. He was massive in size, intimidating to say the least. And acting like a love sick puppy!

"Stop looking at my breasts damn it!" She growled at him. She was already wet, sexually frustrated and very much tempted to fuck his brains out right then and there! But she wouldn't be able to face herself in the morning if she did.

"I think you need some sleep.. Recovery time." She conjoled him, soothing soft pleading words, trying to get his cooperation. Certainly once the trama of his wounds were gone and whatever happened outside, he'd be normal again. Probably had a split personality.. That could explain his behavior....

Her brows furrowed as she ran over the symptoms in her mind, trying to find a logical explanation for his behavior.

"Rest. Yes, rest will be good for you.. And me too." She met his eyes to see he was staring at her, boring into her almost, trying to read her soul. She felt her heart stutter a moment and her knees grow weak.

"Please." She whispered softly as she stepped back, "I have some pride and I need more than pretty words. Especially since I haven't known you more than a few hours.." Her plea didn't fall on deaf ears, he dropped his gaze, seemed to be fighting something within himself as he gave a curt nod of acceptance.

"So.. Would you like to see the guest bedroom?" She tried to make ammends as best she could, hoping not to anger him. He seemed to be balanced very delicately on a fine line between reality and.. whatever.. fantasy?

I hear her words feeling them cut threw me like a razor ripping in to my very soul. My eyes drop to the floor the rejection nawing at me. I barley hear her say something about a guest room. I frown and shake my head sensing the cellar below the darkness calling to me to enfold me and comfort me. I don’t look at her agene not wanting her to see the pain in my eyes.

“Don’t leave this house wile I sleep that thing will try to kill you if you do. I put protection around to reinforce the natural once so he can’t trick you in to coming to him.” I grimace not even realizing that the pain of her rebuff was plain on my face for any with any who have the least talent at reading such thing can see, The feeling too new for me to know how to hide them yet. “If… If any ting happens to you…” I leave it unsed the words seeming to fill the room with out me uttering them.

I absently gesger to the floor. “I’ll be down there if you need me.” My voice now flat almost dead sounding compared to the feeling that was in them just a few moments ago. I close my eyes with out another word concentrating then the familiar weightlessness over comes me as my physical body seems to desalv before her eyes the mist that takes it’s place slowly seeps there on seen cracks in the floor as I seek the comfort of the dark.

I reform in the cool damp darkness looking around. I gesger at a window and some old peaces of plywood fly to it wedging there cutting out the harsh sunlight. It can’t rely harm me beyond hurting my eyes and weconing some of my powers but all of my kind sleep better in pitch blackness. My eyes adjust to the lack of light easily letting me see better even then a cat in starlight. I move to a corner spotting some sleeping bags picking them up I unfold one and lay it out putting the other down for a pillow.

I lay down my eye’s fixed on where I know she is I can sense her. I will always know prissily where she is if we’re close enough. I don’t know why she’s not feeling this as I am it don’t make sense, But then what do I know I’ve never been around a bonded copal before they tend to stay to them selves once they find each other. I know for the boding to be fully complete we must share blood but… I sigh softly fighting the pain and the need to be near her as she is obviously not interested in being near me.

I lay there wide awake for a long time before sleep over takes me sliding me in to nightmares. Faint growls and whimper com from my throat as images of her walking away form me fills my mind her never accepting and rebuffing me utterly. Worse images of one of the dark once getting it cruel hands on her ripping and cutting. The pain from both images ripping at my soul my need for her grate and nawing. I don’t fully wake from any of them just enough for it to fade then the dark take me agene just to give birth to another worse image….

One second he was there! And now he's not!

"It's ok Kimmie.. you just need sleep.." She muttered to herself, her wide eyes now remembering to blink. Shaken, confused and knowing she hurt him, she wandered down the hall way towards her bed.

Blissfull sleep would be welcomed right now, take all the memories away.. Dawn was approaching, she was worn out and pretty sure she was losing her mind. There really was no logical explanation to all she'd seen and done this night. It wasn't like her to act rashly. It wasn't like her to flee like a coward neither. Nor, now that she noticed, was it like her to wander around nearly naked!

"Figment of my imagination...." She knew Scott was real, but what she'd just seen wasn't. Couldn't be.

Nope.

"Sleep.." She was talking to herself and didn't care either way how her mind was about to crack apart like the nut she was becoming. She lay down on her bed, not bothering to fix her clothing, replace her shirt or even go hunting for the apparition she just seen melt into her floor...

She lay there through the day, sleepless, troubled. Surely he was kidding? He didn't really beleive all that nonsense about her being his soul mate did he?

She got up around noon and made a cup of tea, tempted to go into the basement but scared to. Why was he down there? When there was a perfectly good bed upstairs.....

She didn't want to know, she didn't want to ask, but she stood by the door, sipping her tea and resisting temptation.

Scott

I sit up strait my eye’s wide breathing heavily the images still burning in my mind. I blink fighting back panic struggling for control. A low rumbling growl escapes from deep in my chest seeming to vibrate the air around me. My hands clench in to fists trembling with the effort to control the new emotions burning with in me. My eyes shut once more as I sit there seeing the vivid nightmares once moor tearing at my very soul. I look up to the opposite end of the cellar seeing the door sensing that she is just beyond.

I stand slowly afraid to face her afraid of the rejection but the need to be near her driving me on. I slowly walk tords the stars moving across the room like a wrath not making the slightest sound. My feat move up the stairs not casing even the smallest of squeaks that one would expect from a basement stare case. I touch the door softly my fingers feeling the grain of the door as I reach out to feel her before I lay eyes on her.

I smile sadly as I sense that she feel asleep out there. I shift to mist and seep threw the cracks around the door so as not to wake her with the sound of the door opening. I reform just on the other side of the door my eyes moving to her sleeping with her head on her arms at the table. I frown thinking that can’t be good for her. My eyes focus on her face drinking in every line of it as she sleeps peacefully like an angel.

I slowly move over to her and ever so gently lift her up in to my arms. I smile as I notes that she is still warring the shirt that I had ripped. I look down at her exposed breasts feeling my self growing hard with renewed excitement but I force it down with all my will. I slowly glide threw the house so as not to wake her. I smile as I see her bedroom door is open. I move in and gently lay her down in her own bed pulling the covers over her body and softy tucking her in.

I lean over her and softly kiss her forehead. My eyes full of love and pain. “You are mine.” I say in a soft voice barley even a whisper. My hand moving to her forehead smoothing away a stray strand of hair. “I will not let anything happen to you this I swear.” My voice thick with emotion as I turn and walk out of her room. My senses shredding out in to the falling darkness searching for the thing that attacked her.

I smile as I don’t senc him near at least not yet. I walk out side looking at her car frowning as I see the hole in the windshield. I move to the car looking in nodding satisfied as I see the pile of ash that once was a hand. With a flick of my hand a soft breaz lifts and moves in to the car lifting the ashes out lifting them in to the air where a vivid yellow lightning bolt cracks vaporizing the remnants of the fowl thing.

I stand there for a long moment letting the feel of the land fill me taking note of every nuance every life force letting my power flow in to it twining with it making a fine delicate web that will alert me emedilty to any intrusion. I tap the natural powers strengthening my hasty shielding of the house from last night. Sweet beginning to form on my brow as I exert my self my body still not fully recovered. I need blood for that but for now this will have to do. I don’t dare lever her yet she needs to understand what is going on to buleav in the danger first.

I look up at a circling owl my mind reaching out to it lessoning to the warning it brings. I frown anger building once more. “So he didn’t go far.” I growl softly to my self. “He’s in a town to the east. No doubt recruiting more fools to try another ambush.” I snarl softly. “Well next time I will be ready. I must be ready for her sake.”

Kim

She awoke some time later, long after the sun had set beyond the horizon. Stretching out on the bed, she felt the good long pull on most of her muscles and flinched. She was sore and tired still, and very tempted to roll right back over and go to sleep until she felt like getting up.. but something nagged at the back of her mind.

"Scott!" She fairly growled his name, her eyes narrowed as her irritation grew. She didn't remember coming up to her bedroom? Was she dreaming the entire thing?

As much as she wished she had, she knew better than that. Unfortunately.

Rising slowly, she 'zombie' walked herself into the master bath and turned on her shower. Grumbling the entire time she showered and dressed, she again wondered where he might have taken himself off to? And if he was gone, was she safe?

"His?... HIS? Is he on something!?" She muttered as she brushed out her hair. She was tempted to whap him with her hairbrush right upside the head! No one dictated her life to her damn it! Most certainly not some cocky stranger!

Covering up a wide yawn, she stormed downstairs and right into the kitchen. She had yet to run into the 'brick wall' thus far, but she doubted Mr. high and mighty was near by some where, just waiting to dictate some more.

"My ass!" She went through all the normal motions. Toast in, coffee started, asprin located in the cupboard before she parked her ass back in the same chair she'd been in all day.

He must've moved her....

Her eyes about bugged out of her head, wondering how he managed to carry her up the stairs and put her to bed without once waking her? Hell, the stairs alone would be a test of strength!

"Showing off..." or he cared enough to move her to somewhere more comfortable? "the couch was closer.." Her coffee stopped perculating, the scent filling the room and prying open her eyes a little further. With a groan of pleasure she made herself a large cup and stood blowing on it, hoping for a taste of the life-giving juice soon!

Scott

I stand out side breathing in deeply savoring the cool night air the chirp of the crickets. My head tilts slightly as I sense her awakening and moving about the house. I don’t go in not yet ready to face her not wanting to loose control agene and frighten or scar her any more. I clench my fists still feeling the sting of her rebuff and the worse stings of the dreams.

I look down at the ground as I sense her moving down stars the sent of coffee drifting faintly from the house. My nose flares open at the sent my eye’s shutting savoring it. It’s been a long time sins I’ve had any doesn’t coffee. I slowly turn tords the house my eyes moving adimatinly to where I sense her knowing that if the walls weren’t in the way I would be looking directly at her. I can sense the gragyness lifting from her as the smell of the coffee wakes her up. I smile faintly as I slowly move tords the door.

I slip in on silent feet instinctively stepping lightly angh not to cos the slightest sound. I move easily to the door of the kitchen looking in at her my eyes on her back as she takes her first sip of coffee. My eyes flare up once more with love and lust the need of her once more filling me threatening to consume me. I take a long steadying breath feeling my heart beat wildly as I try to calm it make it slow. I feel my fangs trying to extend wanting to taste the blood of my mate the one that will complete my soul just as I will hers.

I can still sense her resisting the idea of it refusing to buleav in what I know is true and plain as day. I know she was not razed as one of my kind she has no idea of the things that I do but her resistance is still painful. I don’t even notes the single tear running down my cheek before I grit my teeth forcing the pain down. She is mine she will accept me and love me as I love her she will.

I don’t move from the door just watching her every move delighting in her graceful beauty. I breathe deeply smelling her past the coffee her sent intoxicating. I slowly walk in to the kitchen move up be hind her leaning over her shoulder and taking a deep wife of both her the coffee. “That smells good.” I say softly barley more then a whisper my breath moving over her ear.

With out another ward I open the coberd pulling down a cup and reaching around her I pore my self a cup of coffee as well my arms trapping her where she is as I work. I don’t bother with cream or sugar proffering it black and strong. Before I pull away I let my lips softly cores her exposed ear. I step back then bringing the cup to my lips taking a long savoring sip my eye’s watching her amusement sparkling in them as I watch her reaction to what I did.

She felt like a prisoner as his arms came around her, and yet he didn't really touch her.. Not until the end.

Frustrated with his behavior, she fixated a glare at him before she sat back down at the table.

That man was possibly the biggest tease she'd ever met!

"So.. you look fit for traveling. I suppose you're going to be heading home now?" She picked a nonthreatening topic to discuss instead of pointing out to him he was touching her again.

Not to mention the whole mist thing she saw last night.. Maybe she just blacked out and he walked away?

"What are you?" The question came before she could put a tight leash on her wayward tongue and nosey mind.
