Jennifer's P.O.V
As I wait for the arrival of my clothes, I take in my surroundings. I take a deep breath and realize something... the air... it's different... and iv traveled the US I know all its smells, but this... this is new. I growl softly.
My ear twitched to the sounds of foot steps, I peek my head over my shoulder to see the man returned. He gulped, placed the clothes down and turned the corner.
I walk over to the clothes and examine them, black long sleeve sweater and black shorts with my luck, panties. I quickly put the clothes on and shouted in the direction of the man, "You can come out now," he peeped around and then slowly made his way to me with his head bowed, "Please forgive me, I had no clue you were the queen," I growled at this... I'm not a queen I don't want to be a queen... I want to be me. He had jumped at my growl, "I am no queen. I'm just me. Jennifer Clearwater," he looked at me in horror, "Your her sister?" That's when it snapped.... Ziara...
Anger surged through me, I blink my eyes and the next think I know, I have the man up against a wall by his neck, I instantly released him, "I'm sorry... I can't always control my anger.." he nodded and held his neck. I instantly felt bad, "What is your name?" He took deep breaths and spoke with a shaking voice, "Malik ma'am," I smile,"Malik would you be so kind as to tell me where I am?" He gluped, "San Marino ma'am," chills shot all over my body, I spoke with a low voice, "Marino...." I started moving franticly, I ran out the door and up the stairs into a library, I run down another hall and find a kitchen, I take the back door outside and froze at the sigh in front of me. I growled with fright and anger.... demons... everywhere...
They all sniffed the air and looked at me with a snarl. Malik came tumbling out the door and froze at the sight of the demons... that's when.... she came out....
"Jennifer! My lovely baby sister! Your finally awake," I growled at her voice... she was a snake with a venomous voice that stings your ears and sends chills down your spine, "Ziara....." I turn my head to the sight of my sister, her tall 5"11 hour glass figure, small chest, rounded butt, white hair and brown streaks with grey tips, blue eyes and a pointy small nose with small lips and a bunch of freckles, she was standing on a small stage in front of the demons.
She began to cackle... like a witch. I snarled under my breathe. She spoke out of her cackling, "I'm suprized your awake," she then looked at Malik and growled lightly, "Your awake ahead of schedule," Malik whimpers softly.
I look around at the demons and I spoke with my voice rigged, "What's this, a party for me?" I then smirked up at Ziara. She growled loudly, " You won't disrespect me in my house baby sister," I make a fake loud chuckle, "Ha HAHAHA," she snarled, "Big sis, why act so little?" Demons began to snarl even louder. I could see Ziara shaking with anger. She then yelled, "SILENCE!" As everyone went silent, I chuckled.
Ziara pointed to the demons, "See them?" So I played dumb, "What? I don't see anything. OH that tree?" Looking at her with a dumb look on my face. She began to shake more, "They do as I say. I'd hold your tongue if I were you," I sighed, "Oh Ziara.... You have lost such valuable knowledge ," she growled. I looked around, "This would be nothing but simple practice," shrugged and looked back to her gaze. She laughed, "You think this is all of them? I shrugged, "Have a million, then we will have a nice small battle," with a grin.
She began to tisk at me, "Oh baby sis, you under estimate me," taken by suprize, I submerge my fear and bring in more of my smart ass out, "Do I?" And that was enough to make her shift. I laugh, "How pathetic, Iv already won," she looked of shock, caught off guard and baffled.
I looked over at Malik, "Ready?" He looked at me with fear, "Ready? Ma'am?" I snickered, "To leave," I jumped when I heard a roar, I looked to see Ziara charging at me, I shifted to my tiger and took off at her.
All the demons awed at my cat, probably because I smell of wolf.
I look for Ziara weakest point. I slam my paws down and stand still as she charges towards me. I bent down. I watched Ziara's strides. Her wolf... so tiny... a white Wolf with grey and brown speckles. As she closed in, just when she was in reach, I launched up at her neck, head budding her sending her 15ft away choking for air. I speak out of my mind, "You've gotten no less weak. I expected more, " and pounced on her small figure, crushing her chest with one paw. She winced in pain.
I step my leg off her and begin to walk to anywhere but here. I roar at Malik and he begins to follow. All the demons watched me leave the scene with heads raised, showing me their necks in act of respect.
I begin to look forward when I dodge a pair of canines......
