Butterfly gaining wings? (Scarlet)

[shadows]

Shadows walked slowly into the center of the park and glanced at the male before him. The man was huge, almost the size of Shadows himself. Shadows bared fangs as the strong scent of lycanthrope slid from the males body. SHadows held out the package as the well toned tan man gripped it and pulled it into his chest. "Is it all here?" Shadows hissed as he spoke. "Every cent. Now no hurting her and none of your sick fuck fuck games." The male smirked, orange eyes gleaming as he starred up at the secret master of the city. Shadows growled and turned before speaking. "Protection for you and your sister is granted, now do not fail me." Shadows started walking away as the male smirked "IfI fail it'll be because I wanna piss you off. Don't worry about it." Shadows snarled as he walked away. If this lycanthrope weren't near his strength and one of the strongest fucks he'd ever heard of he'd kill him now. Disapearing into the darkness the man sat alone.

Gabriel's orange eyes opened the envelope and counted the cash before sliding it into his pocket. Sliding out the piec of paper he wadded it up and stuffed it in his pocket. "I don't need his fucking protection, but the paperwork is easier this way." Gabriel glanced at his watch and groaned. The girl named Scarlet should have been there ten minutes ago. Gabriel didn't like Shadows but he knew that unless you wanted majorly fucked you didn't piss him off too much. Gabriel sighed as he slid his button up shirt back on, muscles bunching and flexing as he did. The shirt remained open but he liked the smooth silk over his flesh.

Scarlet sat silently on the curb, rubbing her hands together slowly. Her knees were close to her chest because of the heeled boots and her arms rests upon them. Apparently Shadows had called her, but she didnt want to go. He was probably upset with her again, and with how tender he body was from the lack of blood it would hurt even more. She also knew that she had to go, otherwise her punishment would be worse. Scarlet's head rested heavily on her arms which were on her knees. "Cant i EVER get a brake...?" She mumbled and stood slowly. Scarlet vanished from under the street light and headed toward her destination.

Scarlet arrived shortly after getting up. It was dark here, as everything was. There was a male there, and her eyes looked at him from the shadows. She'd never seen him, but he had the air of Shadows around her. Maybe he knew where Shadows was. Slowly and cautiously Scarlet slipped out of the shadows her long legs and slender body visable. The tattoo upon her chest was black against the white marble of her skin and her long hair was pulled up. "Excuse me..." Her tone was soft, innocent. "Shadows was here.... do you know where he went...?" Scarlet emerald eyes sparkled brightly.

[shadows]

Gabriel turned starring at the female. A smirk spreading across his face. Sliding to his feet as if pulled by strings he turned to face the female. Orange leopard eyes stared at her, a side effect of being in his animal form for far too long. "Hello beautiful, you must be Shadows' crimson butterfly, Scarlet right?" Gabriel moved closer to her, his body seemed to be disjointed and have muscles in places it shouldn't with the way he moved, all fluid power. " I'm Gabriel, were-leopard extrodinair." Gabriel flashed a smile, small fangs on both top and bottom where his canines should be. Gabriel walked in a small circle around the female and stopped infront of her.

Eyes moving slowly up and down her body they stopped on her face. "I know something that Shadows doesn't. I know that you've accepted training from that other vampire. That isn't too smart a move. Besides what you think Shadows is the only vampire that age doesn't matter a whole lot with. That guys sure as hell strong but no one has ever seen Shadows at his full power, I can't imagine what that fucker hides." Gabriel stepped closer to her again, his smooth scent drifting towards her, it smelled of rugged terrrain, freshly tilled earth, and the hot wet climate of a rainforest. "Now enough about that, I'm a messenger and an observer. Shadows won't hurt Linx unless you fuck with him. You could try to kill him but I assure you that after you failed you'd pray for death and the death of your beloved before it was over. Now, I'm here to train you how to actually fight, is that ok?"

[scarletcross]

Scarlet stepped back from the male as he moved forward, her eyes gazing over him, a little captivated by the odd color of his eyes. He was a different were animal, something she hadnt encountered yet. "I suppose thats me... I'm Scarlet." She verified. "Has he gotten too happy with my nickname...?" Scarlet joked lightly. When she was nervous or unsure she often tried to laugh, it always helped. She still shifted back a step, for he moved even closer. "Were-leopord... well thats a new one." She said softly. "Anyways, Its nice to meet you Gabriel." Scarlet nodded softly.

Her eyes watched him pace around her, body at slight ease. "Yeah, dont tell him about that. Im already in enough trouble. But, I need help. I need a ll the training i can get and if Shadows unserstood why i did these things and listened to me without getting all.... GRRR.... about it he wouldnt try to kill me." Scarlet sighed. "All this time he had been gone, and left me here without any knowledge of how to use my powers..... When he stepped in when i was talking to Samael he just got jealous. thats the only reason why he's decided to have you train me. He's threatened that i might know something that he doesnt. Shadows probably doesnt trust me, but he should know that i wouldnt try to kill him unless he hurt Linx." Scarlet sighed, her sweet flower and sugar like breath mixing with the forest smells of Gabriel. She sneezed softly, rubbing her nose. "Whew... chu smell funneh." Scarlet giggled softly. "Im sorry, im not used to...." She took another sniff, leaning toward him. "A damp forest." she confirmed. "Its rather nice really." Scarlet admitted.

"Like i said. I will not attempt to hurt Shadows unless he hurts Linx. I made that promise to him." Scarlet stood tall, her long neck like a gentle slope that emptied into a vast sea of her marble chest. The only thing there was Shadows Mark. "Well i suppose thats alright. If he trusts you enough i think i need to." Scarlet moved around him, further out into the street lights where her skin shimmered gently. "So...... whee?" She grinned.

[shadows]

Gabriel smirked as she circled him. "Whee? Whee for me, pain for you. First lesson, dealing with pain, understanding it, twisting it to power, and then avoiding." Gabriel walked in a circled slowly as he rolled his shoulders sliding his shirt from his body. As it fell to the ground his hard muscled body flexed and clenched with every movement. Stopped his eyes froze on hers as they flashed a bright orange. Fangs on both top and bottom extending a quarter of an inch as he crouched, hand landing flat on the ground. "Begin."

As muscles tensed it almost seemed as if the ground itself bowed under his living warm power, so unlike that of a vampire yet at th same time, in no way human. Gabriel was gone as a small gust of wind billowed behind him as his rosk hard should smashed into Scarlet's chest sendiong her spiralling backwards Before she struck the ground he was sliding on his back under her and kicked hard with both feet into her back. Rolling he was gone again as he caught her in mid-air slamming both their bodies into the ground. Gabriel grunted as his head smashed into the ground busting open slightely. Rolling away from her he was on his ass laughing hard as he held the wound on his head. "Fuck it feels so good." Gabriel's voice was a masochistic purrrrrr.

[scarletcross]

"Pain? Oh brother... this will be fun." Scarlet sighed, hanging her head as though she hated the idea. Really, in all reality she was happy to be finally trained by someone who knew Shadows powers and could help her. This pain portion wouldnt be too hard really, Shadows would attest to that. Scarlet hardly ever cried out in pain unless it was absolutely unbareable and the same for Shadows pleasure filled bite. Enough of her little thoughts, it was time to act.

Gabriel had removed his shirt, and crouched down. Scarlet slid her feet apart a little to balance herself and held her arms slightly wide. She was braced for his attack, something she was always ready for. He threw himself at Scarlet and she caught him for the moment that his shoulder slammed into her. She was able to prevent some of the impact, but not all. She still fell. Gabriel was gone and then her eyes flashed to black, now highly aware of him under her. Scarlet twisted her body, holding out her hands in a fraction of a second before his feet made contact. She was higher in the air now, his force being able to push her up. Then she met the cold, unforgiving ground. Gabriel took most of the force and Scarlet was nothing more than a little sore. Gabriel moved away, clearly amused that his head was bleeding. Scarlet sat up, crossing her legs indian style. "Well look who got hurt." She laughed softly. "Masochistic son of a bitch, arent cha?" Scarlet grinned darkly, her eyes still empty holes.

[shadows]

Gabriel turned starring at her. Twisting he slid his feet back so he was on his finger tips and toes. Pupils slipping into an elongated version of that of a cat. "You have no idea babe." Gabriel growled and he was gone again. Power still perfectly contained he was at his weakest, his most human. Skidding to a hault his foot shout out at a sideways glance towards Scarlet's side before twistng in the air and stomping towards her face. Before anyone would have time to react Gabriel planted his hands on the ground and aimed a blurr of a kick towards her chest. Spinning hand over hand he thrust his body into the air corckscrewing and ending upright in the air.

Slamming his feet into the closest tree claws extended from his finger tips as he shot at Scarlet. As a blurr he burst past her landing behind before darting to the side. Using his animalistic speed he was untraceable to the human eye and barely able to follow by the immortal. Spiking low to the ground he spiralled in the air making slashes with his claws at any part of Scarlet that came into range. Landing on his feet he sent multiple barrages of strikes towards her abdomen and then a knee was sent for her groin area simulatainiously striking out with an open palm aimed for her chest.

[scarletcross]

"Ah, well i can be when i feel like it. Im just too innocent." Scarlet nodded as she disappeared. She shot up, her body braced once more for attack, her eyes flicking about looking for some trace of Gabriel. He was a lot like Shadows, so she knew that she wouldnt win, she could only try to keep him off of her until he wore himself out. A foot was coming for her and she shoved it away tword the ground. The next was aimed for her head and Scarlet grabbed it roughly with both hands, throwing Gabriel at least a few inches to the side. Another blow was heading for her chest and she just missed it, her hands not being able to move there fast enough. She coughed and slid back, but never fell.

He was gone again and Scarlet breathed deep trying to get it back. Before she could get more than two breaths in he was lunging for her once more, claws bared and slashing. Scarlet flashed to the side, sending a kick behind his knees and her own knee into his nose. She hopped back then, away from the shreading claws. He once more aimed for her. Scarlet caught his knee, then then his hand. Her nails dug deep, her feet planted firmly and he could move it forward no more. Her blackened eyes stared fericely into the oddly orange colored orbs of Gabriel. "So... am i as weak as Shadows thinks me?" Scarlet asked, her voice low and hoarse before yanking his arm forward and shoving her boot into his stomach.

[shadows]

Gabriel smiled, a fierce baring of teeth as her foot smashed into his hard muscled stomach and stopping instantly. Gabriel twisted his hands and gripped her wrists as he stepped into her causing her knee to bend with his power untill her knee was against her own chest. Gabriel's mouth was a few millimeters from her face. "Shadows has said many things about you Scarlett, how innocent you are, how good you taste." Gabriel smirked and licked his lips before continueing. "But never once has he ever even hinted that you were weak. I wouldn't put words into that man's mouth. No one, not even Aiden knows what he really thinks or feels."

Gabriel's muscles bunched as he lifted her off the ground and suspened her in mid-air with his strength a low growl trickeling from his mouth. "But right now, I wouldn't worry about him, I'm the most dangerous thing around at th moment. Now it's time for you to feel what it's like facing an immortal your strength and speed."Gabriel cracked his neck as energy trickled from his body more and more. The energy was thick, hot and alive, so unlike that of a vampire. Unlike the cold, dead, omniouss energy a vampire produced this was intoxicating and provactative."Time to play." Gabriel lifted her higher into the air before throwing her hard towars the ground while at the same time aiming a stomp for her stomach.

[scarletcross]

She frowned when he caused her leg to fold back up on itself. Her hands were clentched into fists, trying to get out of Gabriels grip. Scarlets nose wrinkled up at the taste comment. So he calavanted around telling people that his personal refridgerator was delishous? Hmph. Fabulous. She snarled darkly at Gabriel when he licked his lips. "Dont even try it. I'll tear those pretty teeth right out of your jaw." Scarlet growled lowly. "Or take your jaw off all together. Depends of how i feel at the moment." She'd do it to, or at least try her best. Let Shadows be mad at her, but if Gabriel tried to take a bite out of her out of sheer cruetly, out they came. "Regaurdless of what he thinks or feels in damn sure he does. That ass called me a whore! Said i was good for nothing without someone to show me where to go!" Scarlet grumbled, a low noise that came from her chest.

Scarlet nearly roared out, not enjoying her feet being away from the ground. Her teeth snapped at his hands which would not release thier grip on her wrists. Scarlets fangs were much longer now, but not nearly as huge as Shadows', Gabriels, or even Blaises. Yet they held those two little things that could put down any immortal with the right amount. Scarlet leaned down, her nose nearly touching Gabriels as her wide, ominious black eyes stared. some how she still looked innocent and harmless. "You're not dangerous. Your just a kitty cat." She smirked as she was lifted higher, then dropped.

Scarlet landed on her feet crouching low to the ground. She easily moved out of the way of his kick, and let her legs sweep out to knock him down. Her body coiled as she threw herself at Gabriel, thier bodies making impact before he hit the ground. The noise was loud, then followed by the sound of falling bricks. Scarlet had slammed Gabriel into the building behind them, her body pinning him there. "Inflict some pain." Scarlet snarled, throwing him across the alley into the other building. "Make me scream then. I can bet you i wont make a peep if you can land a blow!" Scarlet flew at him again, well aimed fists throwing punches. Then finally..... her most effective weapon..... A bite.

Her fangs sank deep into the flesh of Gabriels shoulder and she tighened her jaws. With a jerk of her head she could have torn away flesh, but she only injected the side of her venom that numbed and paralyzed the body. Within a minute, Gabriel wouldnt be able to move for at least ten minutes. He wouldnt be able to move, be he could blink, talk and do other functions such as breathe but that was it. She hadnt injected much, only enough to get the point across that he needed to watch her teeth. Scarlet stepped back, her body across the way from him now. "Didnt see that coming, did you? Shadows doesnt even know about that." Scarlet grinned, triumphant. "But dont worry. it will wear off soon i promise." she winked.
