- You know I wanna make you scream - {Kris}

[ansy]

There's no way he could stop himself from falling from the impact of a full grown werewolf hitting him in the chest, as he falls back the most Sully can do is lash out with his knives to try to make Kris flinch and move away. The sudden pain of Tahmores biting his arm makes Sully let go of the knife he'd been holding in that hand, he claws at the floor in an vain attempt to get the knife back into his hand. Pinned down by Kris, Sully looks at the wolf right in the eyes. "Go on then, do it. Kill me. Become the animal that you are, the beast. You're no better than some stinky stray on the street looking for food in a bin". Breathing heavily, out of reaction more than the need to draw more oxygen into his bloodstream, Sully lifts his free hand which still holds a knife and rams it into Kris's shoulder.

The stab is mainly just to injure Kris, to ge thim to move off of Sully. The pain from Tahmores biting his arm has dulled a little, but not enough for it to not be noticeable. "Get off of me you damn dog". His chances of Tahmores actually letting go are slim to none, and the loss of blood is starting to make him feel slightly light-headed. "Alright! I'll leave. I'll leave and never come back to this damn place again". Sully moves his bitten arm a little, but it is still held firmly in place by Tah's teeth.

"Go on then, do it. Kill me. Become the animal that you are, the beast. You're no better than some stinky stray on the street looking for food in a bin," the assassin said from where he was pinned under the weight of Kris’ wolf form. Boy, did he ever want to kill this guy. One because he had come into his house and after his son and two for what he had just called him. And he might have done it too had it not been for the sudden sharp pain of the knife entering his shoulder. Kris yelped, taking his weight off the leg that shoulder belonged to. Not having the weight he needed to hold the vampire pinned like he had before on three legs, he got off of his captive. The guy wasn’t going anywhere with Tah clamped onto his arm like that.

"Get off of me you damn dog,” he said, looking in the other wolf’s direction. Yea right. His chances of Tahmores actually letting go were pretty much nil. "Alright! I'll leave. I'll leave and never come back to this damn place again," the vampire added. Kris growled. Like he believed that. Looking at Tah, it was pretty clear what Kris would like to do with this guy.

[Tahmores Stian]

The worst kind of insult for a werewolf is to compare them to common dogs, feral or tamed. He could rip this vampires arm right off and have no qualms about it afterwards. Restraining himself Tah' instead just bites harder on the arm and shakes his head again. The movement of Sully lifting the knife to stab Kris catches his attention but he can't move soon enough to stop it. Tahmores lets go of Sully's arm, ony to swap his arm for the vampires neck though not with his teeth but with his paw, pressing down on th vampires windpipe. He knows that their kind don't need air to breath but it should cause some pain for the assassin having a heavy paw pressed down on his throat.

Truthfully Tahmore is a little glad that Sully happend to stab Kris, it stopped the other werewolf from enacting his desire to kill th vampire. A knife would isn't going to keep Kris down for long. With the adrenaline pumping through his body the pain of the stab wound, and the fact that the knife is still in his shoulder, will numb quickly and feel as if there is no wound at all. Tahmores has seen people keep walking on fractured legs and keep fighting while suffering from life threatening wounds. He growls at Kris, warning him not to attack the vampire any more. Tah doesn't like having to let the vampire live any more han Kris does, but doing so would just cause more trouble. Slowly Tah' lifts up his paw, enough to let Sully move out from beneath it.

Feeling the weight of Kris move off him Sully is about to move when he is pushed back down again by Tahmores's paw on his neck. Sully puts his hands on Tah's foreleg, trying to pull or push the paw off of his neck, not to breath but to stop the pain of his neck been crushed. "I sais I was going to leave! Pinning me to the ground isn't going to make me leave any quicker". He turns to look at Tahmores. "You seem like the more sane and in control of yourself one out of the two of you. You know that letting me go is the smarest thing to do don't you?! You kill me and you'll have a whole more of my kind chasing your tails".

When Tahmores lifts his paw Sully quickly moves backwards and out from underneath it, propping himself up against a wall. His arm has stopped bleeding for now, but the wound will take a good while to heal totally, his neck also has a few small cuts on it from where Tah's nails have pierced the skin. "You hold him back from going for my throat and I'll leave, never come back here again...". He looks at Kris, obvious fear in his eyes. For probably the first time in a long time there is fear running through Sullys veins.

[Kristian Vulpez]

Kris growled back at his friend. How could he let this guy live after he had come after Nick? It seemed he wasn’t going to just let this go, at least not easily anyway. "I said I was going to leave! Pinning me to the ground isn't going to make me leave any quicker." He turned to look at Tahmores. "You seem like the more sane and in control of yourself one out of the two of you. You know that letting me go is the smartest thing to do don't you?! You kill me and you'll have a whole more of my kind chasing your tails." Kris didn’t believe him. If you let an assassin just go, what was to stop them from coming back? They lied to get out of jams. It was common knowledge.

"You hold him back from going for my throat and I'll leave, never come back here again..." the vampire said, scooting away from the wolves after he somehow managed to get Tah’s big paw off his neck. Tah could easily take Kris but the black wolf wouldn’t be easy to keep back. Not with the adrenaline high he was on because of the knife wound, which wouldn’t heal with the knife still in the wound keeping it open. He took a few steps towards the vampire.

[Tahmores Stian]

Tahmores looks at Kris, growling at him to tell the younger wolf to stand down, to stay where he is and not make any moves to go near Sully. Though he doesn't really want to Tahmores will do what needs to be done to keep Kris from going after the vampire as he leaves. He also hopes that Kris is smart and rational enough to know no to go after Sully when this is all over. He may catch up with the assassin but could end up walking into a trap where there are many other vampires. Tah' moves in front of Kris, so to stop him from moving towards Sully.

Turning towards Sully Tahmores growls and barks, trying to give the vampire the idea that he is to leave... and leave NOW. Stay behind me Kris, stay here and do not go after that vampire when he has left. Your son needs you here after this is all done. Hearing Kris step forwards Tahmores whips around and snarls at him. If he has to be cruel towards his friend then so be it. He has to learn that he can't win every fight, that every now and then he has to let some of them go.

The larger wolf is either in a way protecting him or simply stopping the smaller from possibly poisoning himeslf by taking in his vampire blood, either way Sully isn't going to complain this is his chance to get out of the house and away from these two wolves forever. Using the wall to help himself get up off the floor Sully edges towards the window he had broken to come in through.

Tahmores has been keeping Kris busy. The scents of these two werewolves will always be in his mind, always in his memory. If he were to ever come across the two again, even if he didn't remember their face the scents would be there to let him know that there is something about them that he didn't like. He glance at the kitchen where he knows Nick is hiding. He could go after the boy while the two wolves are distracted but then what would he do with the child? Where could he keep it? He spends most of his time at Izan headquarters and has only a simple flat; neither are place suitable to hide a child. I'll get that kid one day. "Goodbye wolves, it's been a real pleasure to meet both of you this night". Cringing a little from the pain in his arm Sully leaves through the window.

[Kristian Vulpez]

Stay behind me Kris, stay here and do not go after that vampire when he has left. Your son needs you here after this is all done. Tah barked. He had already told Kris to stand down but that was against the young wolf’s better instincts. Even with his injured leg, Kris was still willing to try to take the vampire down. Still he took a step towards the assassin, only to have Tah whirl around and snarl at him. That seemed to get the point across that his friend wasn’t going to let him go after this guy.

"Goodbye wolves, it's been a real pleasure to meet both of you this night." the vampire said, cringing as he went out the window. The adrenaline rush subsiding, Kris sat on the floor. Should have let me kill him, he ‘said’, whining a bit as the pain came back as the numbness went away. Nick was still hiding under the table in the kitchen. After a few minutes, he started to get brave enough and feel safe enough that he wanted to come out. He still stayed away from the wolves, even as he came into the room’s doorway.

[Tahmores Stian]

The words of the vampire are hardly heard by Tahmores, he is focusing more on Kris. Slowly he walks towards his friend and gently nudges his muzzle. He can smell the blood on from Kris's shoulder wound, it has already started to heal up but with the knife still embedded in his shoulder the wound will never fully heal over. Using his teeth to take out the knife is too risky, he could cut the skin even more or twist it and hit an artery, also Kris can't change back to human with the knife in him. Tahmores would have to change back to human, he would also have to be the one to explain all this to Nick. Keep things simple, a child's mind is not meant to deal with such shocking things as finding out that there are such things as vampire and werewolves an that your father happens to be the latter. Tahmores motions towards the bedroom door then walks into the room and starts the change. Changing back to human is a no quicker process than changing into a wolf and it is equally as painful. About fifteen minutes later Tahmores is back in his human form.

Tahmores comes out of the room wearing a pair of the biggest jeans he could find that Kris has, not the easiest task given how skinny the boy is. Looking a little worst for wear Tahmores stops near Kris, then notices that Nick has ventures out from under the kitchen table. Smiling a little at the boy Tah' takes a few steps towards him. "Hi Nick. It's alright to come out now, all the bad things have gone".

[Kristian Vulpez]

Kris whimpered to his friend as he nudged his muzzle. While the action hadn’t hurt, Kris was still in pain from the wound. He half contemplated just turning back to his human form and taking the blade out himself but then he figured that if he even started to change back, it would cause more harm than it would good. He already knew from experience that it was painful enough changing back into human form on a normal night. He didn’t want to even try it with a sharp instrument in his shoulder.

Tah left for a good fifteen minutes. When he came back, he was dressed in a pair of Kris’ jeans. Kris had to admit he looked pretty ridiculous in the smaller guy’s pants. Tah was at least twice Kris’ size, mainly because Kris was so skinny. "Hi Nick. It's alright to come out now, all the bad things have gone." Tah said. Kris looked over to where his son stood in the doorway. He had no idea what Nick thought of him right now or even if he was afraid of him. Nick, recognizing the human Tah, ran over to him and hid his face in the pants leg of the jeans. Kris had to wonder if he would do the same to him when he was human again.

[Tahmores Stian]

Tahmores leans down and gently takes hold of the handle of the knife in Kris's shoulder. "This is going to hurt a bit buddy, but once the blade is out the wound will start to heal up properly so the pain is worth it". In one swift movement Tahmores removes the knife from Kris's shoulder and takes it into the bedroom and on the bed then comes out back to Nick and Kris. "If you want Kris you can change back now, but personally I'd wait until it's sealed up just a bit more, if you change while it's still scabbing over it'll probably just tear back open again, wont bleed as much but it'll hurt but it's up to you". He looks down as Nick runs to his leg and buries his face in the jeans.

He places his hand on the top of the boys head and kneels down to be eye level with the kid. "I know the things you saw tonight were scary, that you probably don't fully understand them... but you're father fought so bravely to make sure that you stayed safe. He was willing to risk his life for you". Tahmores puts his arms around Nicks shoulders, looking like if he hugged too hard he'd end up popping the kids head off. "Kris, why don't you go into another room and change? Though... perhaps you should stay in wolf form for a while longer around Nick, get him used to this part of you".

[Kristian Vulpez]

"This is going to hurt a bit buddy, but once the blade is out the wound will start to heal up properly so the pain is worth it." Tah said, taking hold of the knife handle. With a swift jerk, he removed the blade from Kris’ shoulder. Even with the warning that it would hurt, he still whimpered at the sudden stab of pain. Tah took the knife into the bedroom and laid it on the bed before returning to the room. "If you want Kris you can change back now, but personally I'd wait until it's sealed up just a bit more, if you change while it's still scabbing over it'll probably just tear back open again, wont bleed as much but it'll hurt but it's up to you." he said when he returned.

Nick looked up at Tah as he knelt down to eye level with him. "I know the things you saw tonight were scary, that you probably don't fully understand them... but your father fought so bravely to make sure that you stayed safe. He was willing to risk his life for you." he said. Nick didn’t understand how his dad was able to turn into a giant doggy as he called it, but standing as close as he was to Kris now with Tah standing there, he wasn’t near as afraid as he had been. That was partly because Kris had no reason to be aggressive as he had been a few minutes ago.

"Kris, why don't you go into another room and change? Though... perhaps you should stay in wolf form for a while longer around Nick, get him used to this part of you." Tah said. That made sense. How could Nick get used to seeing this side of his dad if he just changed back now? Instead of changing back at that moment, Kris nuzzled his son’s hand. After a moment or two, Nick started to pet him, seeming to get more and more comfortable with the wolf by the minute. Once it seemed like the boy was used to his dad’s form, or at least less afraid of it, Kris went into his room to return to his human form. Twenty minutes later, he came back into the room. He looked at his friend with a look that said he had no idea how to explain what had happened before Nick. Maybe Tah could help out with that?

[Tahmores Stian]

Tahmores moves away to give Kris and his son some room. He smiles as Nick starts to pet Kris. One of Tah's close friends back in the desert had given birth to a human child, a complete freak accident. The child of course was afraid and weary of the wolves but like Nick all it took was starting off with the child been around one wolf at a time and then eventually having the kid around more and more. It will just take some time for Kris to get his son used to him been a werewolf. It's not something that will hugely impact the lives of the two, at least no as much as if Kris were a vampire.

Also he hopes that having a werewolf father during his upbringing will teach Nick to be more accepting and tolerant of people who are not human. When Kris leaves to go change from wolf to human Tahmores moves back beside Nick, choosing to sit on the ground so that that he can talk to the boy at his level instead of standing and looking down on him which, from his experiences as a child, can make whatever the person is saying threatening even if they don't for it to be. Seeing the look of confusion of not knowing what to do about his son on Kris's face Tahmores frowns a little, thinking of how he could do it.

"Nick the two dogs that you saw in here before were not ordinary ones. They were myeself and your father. We are werewolves. Able to change from human to wolf whenever we choose. We do not become savage beasts though so there is no need to have any fear of us whenever we're around you".
