Speak of the devil....

[Iris]

{Marie} Well, then. That went nicely. I stared after the retreating form, biting my lip. In all actuality, it hadn't gone all that badly, but I wasn't one for making many enemies, especially not with my potential allies. All I'd done was demand my pay, Athena being killed. She was simply in the way, which would not do at all. The annoying orphan girl had grown up with me , and we'd basically gained a mutual respectful distance, though inside we hated each others' guts. She was like the Dark Angel, all mysterious and sarcastic, in one word; witch with a Capitol B. She referred to me as a brat, ignorant as she was of my plans.
Of course, I'd originally arranged for her to be murdered by a hired assassin, but the dumb guy had claimed that my pay wasn't worth it. As if! That little amulet was more powerful than he knew, but whatever. I'd just have to get it done on my own.

.....

{Athena} Dumb lock... I jiggled the key innefectivly trying to open the old door. I did, however, succeed in wedging my key into such a position as to make it stuck. Cursing under my breath, I turned around to scale the house to my bedroom window, and came face to face with Marie. She stood across the street from my dingy old house with its old, rotting porch and peeling blue paint, the lamplight catching her sleek blonde hair and making it glow eerily. "Marie?" I stool a step forward, then darted to the side, the knife grazing my sleeve and wedging in the wall behind me. Now, I knew Marie didn't like me, but I didn't know it reached to the extent of wanting to kill me. I narrowed my eyes at her as she lunged, shifting into a wolf. In momenta we were locked together on the street, she trying to pin my down, me fending off her teeth and claws. Damn jealous werewolf.

{Cole} As usual, I was bored, and ditching school. Lydia may thrive in that environment, but there was nothing for me there. I preferred to stay in my wolf form and roam the woods - it wasn't much more interesting, but it also wasn't a classroom, crushing me until I was ready to explode, shift, and rip out of the throat of a teacher, an annoying classmate, I didn't care really. ||OOC: Not hard to guess who he takes after, is it?||
I finally decided to pass back into the city, hoping I would have more luck finding something to actually do there, and that was when I noticed the fight. Vampire and werewolf; I could tell that immediately. Of course, other than my sister, who I was forced to tolerate, I wasn't really taken with bloodsuckers as a rule, but I could see no reason to join in the side of the other wolf yet either. Instead, I padded over calmly, swishing my tail and raising my eyebrows at them. "What exactly is going on?" I inquired. How no one else noticed the two wolves in the middle of the street, one of them fighting a vampire, I didn't understand, but Amenia was like that most of the time.

[Iris]

{Marie} "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm killing her." I growled, lunging for her neck.

{Athena} "Correction, sissy, trying to kill me. Trying, and failing, I mean, god, I knew you hated me, but kill me? After I grew up with'ya? You have some serious issues!" I flung her off and into the porch of my house, leaving a hole through the rotting wood where she landed. "My house! Dang it, I need to practice me aim." I narrowed my eyes at the other wolf. "Hi, I'm-" I darted out of the way as Marie sprang at me again. "-Athena. The phsycho is my adopted sister Marie." I slipped away again as she lunged, teeth bared, stuck my leg out, and sent her sprawling.
"Pathetic. If you want to kill me, do it already!"
She shifted back into human form, eyes nearly burning a hole through me in her rage. "The assassin bailed."
"Jeez, if looks could kill I'd be dead a hundred times over." I chuckled , lifting my arm as she threw a knife, the blade only grazing my skin.

[Luna]

"Hmm..." I grinned. "Well, it's something to do, isn't it?" I stepped forward, choosing spontaneously to side with the vampire, and folded my arms calmly over my chest.

[Iris]

"Well, it sure beats climbing to your bedroom window to break into your own house.l I agreed, shooting a dark look at my door, the key glinting mockingly. "Nice of you to side with me by the way. For a minute, I thought I was screwed."
Marie flung two more knives, one at Cole and one at me. "How many knives can you fit on one person?" I complained, catching the knife as it flew past. I closed my fist too soon and ended up slicing my palm open. Cursing silently, I flung it at my door handle, jarring the look enough to knock the key loose. I smirked triumphantly.

{Marie} Okay, so now I was beyond angry. Killing Athena hadn't turned out to be as simple as I had thought, and now that she had the other wolf on her side, I had two people to take care of. I leapt againt, landing squarely on Athena, locking my hands around her throat and applying as much pressure as I could, slowly suffocating her. She struggled to shove me off.

[Luna]

I growled, slipping fully into a different mode, my eyes glowing with the light of battle as I transformed swiftly into a sleek silver wolf, then lunged for Marie, knocking her to the side. I raised one eyebrow at her. She didn't seem to be very good at this...

[Iris]

{Marie} I grit my teeth, pressing my lips in a tight line. Okay, so I was doing badly. I was letting my anger control my actions, which was something I tended to do. A lot. I stood, clearing my head and pursing my lips at Cole, giving in to the wolf that lurked inside of me, feeling my predatory instincts sweep through my mind. I was learning, and with learning cane practice. I simply needed to let instinct take over.
I narrowed my eyes, noting Athena stand as I tipped my head towards Cole. My eyes flickered as I studied him, a mere moment later, I was a black streak. The moment I reached him, I shifted back to human form and kicked him in the stomach, then whirled and caught Athena's fist inches from my nose. I fisted her arm, eyes blazing.
{OOC} Hmm...she is definitely still an ameture, though she could be fun once she learns.....

{BIC} {Athena} I widened my eyes at the sudden change. Of course, she still wasn't all that great at the whole concept of fighting. I twisted my arm free from her grasp, ducking under her arms, and popping up behind her. I grabbed her, whirled her around, then let her go, sending her flying in Cole's direction.

[Luna]

{OOC: Cole isn't all that experienced, but he has the benefit of being the son of Lucian ^__^}
I caught her arm as she hurtled towards me, then threw her to the ground. I shifted quickly and quietly and lunged, managing to sink my teeth into her arm.

[Iris]

{Marie} I twist my arm away, cursing under my breath at the blood that gushed from the puncture wounds. Narrowing my eyes, I shifted into a wolf again, sinking my teeth into his paw.

{Athena} I grabbed Marie like you would a crazy dog, yanking her back. She released her grip on Cole's paw, clawing a gash in my leg, and tearing my favorite jeans. Great. I thought sarcastically, kicking her off before she could do damage with her teeth. She rolled away, shifting once again into a human.

{Marie} I pursed my lips, the blood on my arm clotting up and preventingbthe wound from bleeding as heavily. I really needed to practice fighting, I was fairly sure I was still standing by the grace of sheer luck. Even so, Athena did need to die, and if no one else would kill her, It was my job. I pulled out my last knife.

[Luna]

I crossed my arms loosely, not the slightest bit concerned, a slight smirk curving up my lips. I remained still, waiting to see what she would do with her last option.

OOC}} I know, it's short and sucky T_T I'm not in a creative mood right now

[Iris]

{Marie} I finered the ring on my left ring finger, flicking the needle up and tossing the knife at Cole. I darted forward, grabbing Athena's wrist, the needle piercing her skin. I flipped her over my shoulder casually, the effects of the poison would take effect soon, knocking her out for hours, and giving me plenty of time to dispose of her, providing I could keep the other wolf at bay.

{Athena} I kicked her in the back of the knees and then kicking her into another house's porch.
Aw, crap.... I thought, feeling a slight dizziness overtake me. I glanced at my now burning wrist and confirmed that I had, indeed, been injected with some sort of sleep drug orpotion. I scowled at Marie's form as I collapsed, managing to choke out a few words before I was sucked into unconsciousness.
"That's not fair.....you're..........cheating....."

[Luna]

I rolled my eyes and lunged straight towards her. I shifted in midleap and pinned her down as a giant silver wolf, snarling, my teeth inches from her face.

[Iris]

{Marie} Okay, so fending off the werewolf might not be so easy. I sighed, shifting into my own wolf form and wriggling away. I snarled at him, baring my teeth. "You might as well continue on with your night, I got what I wanted, and there really isn't any reason for you to stay. Protecting a bloodsucker? It just doesn't seem to be your nature."

{OOC} Sorry I was gone for so long. I got grounded.

[Luna]

OOC}} Ahh... *glares accusingly* What'd you do?

I rolled my eyes. "You have quite a valid point, but then, my little sister is a bloodsucker. Besides, this is providing entertainment, and I'm too stubborn to give up now." I crouched low to the ground, swishing my tail as I waited to see what she would do next. Blind lunging was not my style.

[Iris]

{OOC} *looks sheepish.* I might have broken my window when I tried to toss my basketball on my bed..........in short, It hit the lamp instead and smashed my poor window.

{BIC} I studied him for a moment, working out a strategy, which really ended up simply being a single move. I lunged biting into his foreleg and yanking it to the side and successfully bringing him down- much to my surprise, though I didn't show it. In the same moment, I had him pinned, my teeth mere centimeters from his neck.
