Cardinal instantly joined in with Eight's snarling, throwing herself against the bars of her cage only once. She did it without hesitation.
"Leave her alone!"
She noticed his glance, but she didn't falter. Eight, however, seemed to calm down, evidently realizing that he was starting to care. She glared at him with the same intensity as she glared at Darcia. She returned her gaze to the massive white wolf that seemed intent on messing with Shade, who had already partially given into his wishes.
"I SAID LEAVE HER ALONE YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
---
His ears folded behind his head and he let out a small snarl, but he said nothing. Hell, he would have ,but Cardinal seemed to already have what looked like a biffle with Darcia.
He finally got down in his gut and after Cardinal had immediately said something, he responded,
"Get away from her you flea bag!"
---
Eight looked back at Darcia he knew as he bet the others did, it wouldn’t work, he wouldn’t move.
Shade crinched, surprised by the sudden snarls around her, her eyes shooting from left to right as if the snarls where meant for her.
She knew better, of course... but the tention was almost too much to bare. It was horrible, being so close to this unnatural beast...
She wondered if she should have refused to obey the wolf. If she should have stayed back in her cage, where she was safe...
But it was too late now.
And he didn’t. When shade walked up to him he smiled, then put his nose throw the bars and drew in a long breath taking in all of her scents. As he did he closed his eyes flitering throw them, enjoying them savering them as he always did.
“your fear is intoxicating, the aroma is like sweet perfume, I love females like you, a fresh flower plucked from the wild lands, ready to have her thorns sharpened”, he said opening his eyes and looking into her’s with a intense look. His back was to the others his tail swaying slowly.
So... he knew she was afraid. She caught his intense stare, and quickly turned her eyes down.
For a second, she felt like denying. Telling him she wasn't scared.
But she knew it was useless; it wouldn't make a difference... and thus, she just waited, silently, her eyes looking at his chin as she refused to look him straight in the eye again.
He loved females like her... BRILLIANT, damnit... She was in for it now.
She hoped he would loose interest with her quickly....
She was surprised to find a sudden thought pop up in her head; she actually wondered where Bloodhound was, for a second.
That confused her even more; why would she care about THAT? As if hé would HELP her...
“I want to know what give a girl like you pleaser, so I can make you scwerm, and your body betray you”, he said his grin growling now showing off his white fangs.
As she was still staring at his chin, his unusual fangs quickly caught her eye. One of steel... and all unnaturally sharpend.
She suddenly wondered what it would be like if he bit his tongue, and almost chuckled at the thought.
But his unexpected words made her freeze; it send chills down her spine, but only partly because of fear.
Somehow, his words hit a snare somewhere deep inside, a snare she didn't knew she had. She wasn't sure what she felt. Fear... or some kind of strange excitement? Maybe adrenaline? She simply didn't knew how to interpretate her body's response, but it made her feel strange, and restless. And dirty, somehow. As if she was feeling something bad, something forbidden, something she didn't want to feel...
She chose to ignore these feelings, no matter how they confused her, and still stay perfectly still. Part of her wanted to tell him to leave her alone, to forget about even TRYING to give her pleasure, to tell him he wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING that would make her squirm. But she knew he'd laugh at her, just like the other dogs...
The support of the others around her, even now Eight had fallen silent, gave her strength. She knew she just had to stand through this...
And thus, she still refused to speak and just kept looking at his chin blankly. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of showing fear... Not even now.
He moved closer and lick her fur long and slow like a lover might, be for drawing back throw the bars.
“I look followed to see your progress”
The sudden intimacy was unexpected.
Shade nééded fysical contact... it was something that she needed as much as breathing. It was something she couldn't do without... she would wither away and die without it. She needed another living body to touch her every now and then, no matter how innocent the touch. Just touching noses, or sleeping against one another was enough... Like she and George had done...
But this was an unwanted intimacy, and it made her turn her ears back. She supressed a shiver. This time, he didn't stir up the confusing feelings she had felt at his words; this just scared her. Just the thought of this monster touching her... and the intention behind this touch...
Why was he even interested in her?
Dice had believed she was worthless, why didn't Darcia think the same?
It was so... confusing...
Without meaning to, she took a slight step backward, to avoid his tongue, even though it was already too late. She ignored the strong urge to flee from him and rush back to the back of her cage; instead, she finally turned her eyes back up again, looking him straight in the eye for a moment. But there was no emotion in those big, green eyes; just an emptyness as she hid her feelings.
But as sudden as his tongue had touched her... hell broke loose.
Oh, she was SO glad to hear Eight stand up for her.Eight throw him self agest the bars exstremly hard forgetting about what harm it could do to his body that he should be looking after.
But his didn’t growl or bear his fangs but his hackles were up. He was falling back into his old self and he knew he must.
“Don’t you dare do that again”, eight said in a low voice.
Darcia looked around at each of them, time to teach them some respect.
“Or what Eight, you were never able to stop me back then and you cant now”he smiled as he spoke moking eight.
Eight growled deep in his chest but still he didn’t change his face, no beared fangs, but his eyes made it clear what he would do if he were let out of his cell.
She didn't knew WHY... and she didn't really care, either. She was just happy that someone would draw Darcia's attention away from her... And that it WORKED.
''W... WHAT? NO!'' Shade screamed out, before even realising it.Darcia turned away from he and went up to Tsuna straight up to his door.
His body langwiged change from when he had been with Shade, he moved quicker sharper. Eyes wide and aggressive.
“you want to prove your self boy!. Back up your words we will see whos the flea bag”, he spat and then he moved his tail up down then around.
Jack who had been watching with a sad look gasped. “shit” he whispered.
The door to his cell clicked and opened with a screech.
Darcia chatged followed towering above tsuna.
She then turned her ears backwards entirely and lowered her head; she had been so glad that Darcia had lost interest in her... she shouldn't provoke him and redraw attention to herself. But she couldn't bare the thought of him attacking Tsuna!!
Unsure of what to do, she took a few steps backwards and one forward again, her ears moving restlessly.
Shade's eyes shot with Darcia's moves, able to follow them since she was used to fight with speed herself.Eight slammed his body agest the bars again.
“Give him hell kid”, he growled, he knew he wouldn’t win but he should fight any way.
Never back down, never surreneder.
HE also knew Darcia wouldn’t hurt him to much other wise he would get in truble, they needed to be trained not hurt.
Darcia went to headbutt Tsuna right in the side, moving like a bullet, like he wasn’t as big as he was, the speed didn’t seem to fit his size. And he gave no pause he ran in and lunged, he would make this pup whine in submission.
He was amazingly fast for a wolf that size and build... how could that be? EVERYTHING about him was unnatural....
Still, she wondered if she wouldn't be faster, if she tried...
- ''Darcia, LEAVE HIM!'' She realised her call was a cross between an angry growl and a whine. Yes, she was scared... but she also wanted to protect Tsuna, somehow.
Inside her head, her thoughts swirled. WHY did she wish to protect the others...? WHY had they wished to protect hér just minutes ago? Something had bonded them already. They where like family... and Tsuna was like a brother to her, she realised.
But what could she do...?
She began to turn in circles in her cage pretty fast, unable to rush to Tsuna's aid, and unable to just stand and watch...
