Just Gotta Get Away[Gabriel]

[scarletcross]

Kali, atop her black stallion walked at a casual pace down the back streets of new york. Blakes hoves clicked heavily, his head swung low. She knew he was tired, but she was afraid her human master would find her. Kali was a slave in a stable of the most beautiful horses in the buisness. There was a track behind it, and the rich would come there. She had finally gotten fed up with him, and in a sudden burst of courage, saddled up Blake and rode away. Kali didnt understand why she tacked him up, the two were so intune that she didnt even have to touch him for the horse to know what Kali wanted. She could understand the horse language and speek it, as well as read and project thoughts to horses.

Her short black hair fell into her pale face, violet eyes wandering around the scene lazily. After a few more blocks Blake gave a huff. There was a secluded park near by and Kali hopped down. Standing beside the horse, even with his head hung, he was massive. Being an arabian he should have been a reletively small breed, yet he was almost as big as a draft horse. It seemed the two were misfits of thier world. Blake was kind only to Kali, and dispised all others, Kali was afraid of everyone. None the less she walked toward a soft patch of grass and started to unsaddle blake. She heaved the black and silver saddle that seemed bigger than her to the ground with ease. Kali's small, scarred hands then removed the black bridle and Blake gave a happy snort.

"I know... I'm sorry i pushed you so hard today... thank you." Kali's shy voice mumbled. She sat at his feet, watching him chomp on the grass around her. he never went far, feeling very protective of her. Kali played with her purple tank top, her hands twirling over the soft fabric. That odd cross tattoo over her heart was visable. It had been there as far back as she could remember. "Rest Blake.... first thing in the morning we need to find some place to hide before i burn." Kali muttered, and Blake twitched his ears in recongition. She was able to be in the sun for no longer than an hour, just because all of the drugs she had been shot up with in her childhood killed some of that vampiric gene. She sighed, resting her head against the stallions leg. His massive head turned and his nose ruffled through her hair, making her smile faintly. "Thank you..." she giggled.

Gabriel purred as he ripped the throat from the deer. Orange eyes scanned the terrain looking for any who would steal his prize. Munching happily on the carcass Gabriel pawed at it's kull making the corpse wink. Gabriel's broken cackled sound was obviously a laugh as the corpse twitched causing him to chortle harder. Suddenly a scent caught his nose. A mixed scent of a vampire and a horse. "What the fuck? Now they're turning horses?" Gabriel rolled large eyes as suddenly the pair came into view.

Gabriel continued eating as he watched them and decided it was boring being alone. lifting his massive furred body from the ground he wiped his mouth across the grass. Any onlooker would think they were watching a retarded cat try and commit suicide. Gabriel's black heavily muscled form padded up a tree and pounced. landing a few feet from the horse the animal was radiating hostility. "Stupid prey." With a loud screach he wanted to show the horse that he'd eat the fucker if it tried anything. Circeling around it he saw the female. "Meh...kinda hot..."

Gabriel purred as he moved fluidly. Obviously a complete predator. Orange eyes blinked as he pushed his mind out. He knew they couldn't use telepathy but if the girl could talk to the horse she should be able to see the projected images. Gabriel thought of a word GABRIEL massive in his head, then asked who she was."

Kali rubbed the horses leg as he lifted his head suddenly. Blake was looking off with wide eyes, ears flicking. He had heard something. Blake then snorted and told her to hide. she scrambled under him for safety. She looked so small and fragile. A large cat jumped from the tree and Kali gasped, her eyes wide. The violet gems glittered brightly with fear. The animal made a horrid noise toward her best friend. Blake got into a defensive stance over Kali, his head low, eyes angry and ears back flat. He make a low noise, stomping at the creature showing his aggrivation and how he would protect her. Kali cowered under him all the while, not knowing how to fight. She was terrified, shaking and clinging to the horses leg. Why was this animal here, and what did it want? It padded around to her side so that it could see her, Blake still hunching over her.

When her eyes fixed on the animals she heard one word in her mind. Gabriel. She scooted back, Blake following and getting over her even more. "Gabriel...?" She questioned, her voice too soft, too innocent. Then another thing entered her mind, what was her name. Apparently Kali could understand more than one animal. "My.... my name....." Kali gulped. "My name is Kali..... You... You arent going to hurt me..... are you...?" She asked, and stroked Blakes belly, the horse relaxing only a little under the small touch.

As the horse stomped Gabriel growled, the fur on his back rippeling as his massive paw swiped threatening at the horse. Using his animal side he projected to the horse that if it doesn't calm down he'd eat it. The horse may be brave but it stood no chance against a true predator. Gabriel purred as his massive eyes moved back to the girl. Using his mind he spoke again. "If I was going to hurt you I would've done so by now." Gabriel purred as he lowered himself.

Tilting his head to the side I continued. 'You're a vampire....obviously you know that. Then you should know about us. I'me a lycanthrope. A were-leopard if you will. I'm human...but can turn into this.' Gabriel purred as his eyes scanned her again. 'You're hot.....what's with the horse?" Gabriel growled as he spoke of the large donkey like thing.

Kali hissed at the animal, a noise she hardly ever made. She flicked inbetween the two. "Dont touch him." she said firmly, Kali never was like this unless it came to Blake. The horse seemed to laugh at the large cat, and Kali reached back and smacked his vast chest. "Knock it off. I cant afford to lose you..." She shook a little, still afraid because if the animal decided to attack, she was useless. "Dont hurt my friend. He's all i got. alright...?" her voice shook like her body. She was so small, to breakable that she would be a snack to this animal. Kali looked at the hose, and he huffed, laying down behind her. She was sure to move the saddle before Blake squished it, and then leaned back against his large warm body.

She fidgeted, wanting to hide, but she wouldnt let the animal see this. "I... well... I've been around for 600 some odd years.... and.... i didnt know that... were-lepords exsisted...." Kali rubbed Blakes inky black coat absent mindedly as she horse voiced his opinion on the animal inside Kali's head. Blake didnt like the animal, didnt trust it. She couldnt blame him, for anyone but Kali treated him badly. "If you can be human... why arent you...?" her voice was really nothing more than a mutter, being so shy. "Im actually really cold..." she said softly. "And Blake is.... well he's the male in my life.... He protects me since no one else does...." She looked off, then back at the orange-eyed cat.
