How Soon Is Now?

Sumiko snarled.

Damn. Persistent thing, aren't you.

She struck at him again in the face, before popping his wrist out of socket.

Maybe that'll slow ya down...

he looked at his wrist and laughed."thank god I can't feel that...damn I might have been in agony.." he snapped his wirst back in place." I cam to do my job...just let me finish it" he smirked as he took his hat off and coat." I failed to mention...we are the same species...just thatcI choose not to go Wolf...not yet anyway" he said as he increeased his muscle size., he got ready. and shot forward. as he sense she would attack, he moved to his left and grabbed her arm, flipping her onto her back. he placed the arm in a lock and slammed his foot down on her neck."let me make it quick for ya" he mocked

Su didn't like being put in a vulnerable position. She snarled and kicked her feet out, catching him behind his knees and making his legs buckle. She knocked him on his back on the wide tree limb and scrambled up to place a knee on his chest. She leaned down and growled in his face, loud and menacing. her eyes had turned to emerald and her teeth had changed to serated fangs. She snarled,

I'm going to rip you limb from limb.

With that, she buried her face in his shoulder and tore in to the flesh with her fangs, ripping his arm off at the rotater cuff. She threw the arm to the ground, where it flopped lifelessly.

Mikhail gripped where his arm was torn off. his faced turned nearly wolf like."me first" he said, lunging at her. he swiped her across her face, to which he then bit right into her leg and lifted her off the groundand swung her, his fangs burying into her thigh quickly. he finally threw her and and jumped on her. he smiled insanely, lfiting his claw up ready to swipe. just then a blade went through his chest. Sameal lifted him up, with help from his scythe.Sameal threw the body and looked at sumiko."another Wolf huh" he smirked, extending his hand to help her up

Sumiko snorted and waved his hand away. She stood to her feet unsteadily before she moaned and swayed. She tried to catch her balance but began to tilt sideways drukenly. She was bleeding heavily from cuts on her face and leg.

Sameal sighed as he followed her."you need help there?" he asked noticing her pained walked."you gonna lose alot of blood if dont slow down" he retorted

She snarled, I'm fine. Damn healing gene should kick in here any minute now.

Wish it would hurry the hell up... For all I know this bastard is gonna attack me and I wouldn't be able to defend myself.

Just as that thought crossed her mind, the gaping holes in her thigh bound themselves up. The blood that soaked her pants was the only telltale sign that she had ever been injured to begin with

Sameal sighed again." look if you still think I'm working for azreal, just say it..." he said as he grabbed her arm and turned her around."the only reason I took the job was that I could confront Brask about my daughter...I probably wouldnt have took that bounty any further." he said putting his scythe to the side of himself

Sumiko shrugged.

Never said I thought you were working for the twisted son of a bitch... That's your own insecurity. I just don't trust you. Before you get to feeling all special, don't. I don't trust anybody. Not anymore.

She huffed and turned around, continuing to limp as her leg finished its healing. After a moment though, her curiosity got the better of her. She whirled back around and stared him down.

Who is your daughter, anyway? Is she traveling with Brask?

Sameal looked down in shame."Serenity....thats why Brask was alittle..."cold" to me last night.." he then looked back at her."please...this has to stay between us...I...she needs to take it little by little...if I just tell her...she won't forgive me" he started to worry, but he then picked himself back up."lets just go back" he rushed ahead

Sumiko blinked a few times, not quite believing what she was hearing. She followed Sameal back to the camp.

Serenity? Wonder how he feels about her and Vahn... Probably not the best time to ask...

She shook her head, half smiling to herself.

Ryden polished his van's wheels, he then noticed Sumiko and ran up to her." hey...um...my son Dunkel...I'm sure your pack took him in after he became...a wherewolf...just wondering...but when you left...how was he?" he asked his expression was that of worry and wanting answers

Sumiko was startled at the question.

Could that dude with the gun fetish be who he's talking about?

Err... He was, ahh... Very... Strong.

She cleared her throat.

Ryden smiled."if you cant remember...it was a few years back...short kid, blonde hair...he was attacked by a wold pack...I think it was your sister who rescued him...yes!..you asked me if it was okay to take him and teach him how to handle his wolf form." he said as he seemed to smiled more.Sameal walked up to her."I've met his son...he is fine...you must remember him right?" he whispered

Su squinted for a moment before realization flashed across her face.

Oh yeah! Dunkel! Good fighter. Smart. Very clever.

She smiled, remembering the sparring matches she'd had with him, helping him through his awkward stage.

Ryden was releived with what she said."thank you...for helping him..." he said as he went back to polishing the wheels. Sameal crossed his arms."how are the battle wounds?" he asked seeing that Vahn and Serenity were aitting outside together

Su shrugged.

I've had a lot worse. So how do you feel about that?

She nodded toward Serenity and Vahn.

"not sure...I can't say or do anythin since she doesnt know I'm her father...but I'm sure Vahn is not like...you or Seven..thats for sure" he smiled slightly. he looked up and laughed alittle."I'll keep guard...take some time to relax...its more than likely this mission will have some sort of "catch"...they always do" he retorted as he at down on the step

Su nodded once.

We'll definitely have to be careful.

She shook her head a bit, twitching her hair out of her eyes.

Sameal looked at Sumiko."before you go...a question...how do you think I should tell serenity that I'm her father...should I just tell her...or work on it for awhile?" he asked as he noticed Serenity cuddling up to Vahn."atleast she is happy" he thought to himself

Su thought for a moment.

Well... There's really no way to sugar coat that. You need to tell her straight who you are... But get her to trust you first. Would it kill you to try to be loving?

She tainted her voice with a slight joking edge but her eyes said she was serious.

Su thought for a moment.

Well... There's really no way to sugar coat that. You need to tell her straight who you are... But get her to trust you first. Would it kill you to try to be loving?

She tainted her voice with a slight joking edge but her eyes said she was serious.

Sameal smiled laughing slightly." I suppose it won't...thank you" he smiled, getting up and walked over to Vahn and serenity, he sat by serenity and talked with them, truly being a nice guy, unlike how he acts infront of Seven and sumiko

Su grinned and shook her head. She paced, thinking about her past. Something she didn't do often. She thought about what her parents would have been like. She never met her father; he ran out when he found out Su's mom was pregnant with her. And then Su's mom was killed in a bitch fight for dominance... For who would be the Alpha's primary mate. Unfortunately, her mother wasn't quite quick enough. Sumiko's sister had been eight at the time and was haunted with the memory of her mother's dying coughs. Her eight year old sister was left to raise baby Su. Sumiko hated herself for that. But she hated her father more. A tear strayed from her slate eyes.

Dammit, stop it, Su.

She dragged he hand roughly across her face.

Vahn was restless, he had been since he had left paradox city, a nightmare he used to have when he was younger, a recurring nightmare. as it turned midnight, he woke up, sitting up quickly, looking around his room. he sighed with relief, but he heard somethin walk in the halls, he slowly went to grab his sword
