Ella & Vlad at the end

#11 - out and about

Conversation between Filomena and Vladimir was sparse and simple for the most part. They did find out both have the same preference for lapping up the blood up herd animals over human. They were almost the same on people agreeing taste differs greatly; Depending on the person's basic diet, overall health and age. Fil's people preference is Latin and Asian with the spicier diets. Thinking that an odd statement Vlad jested he was a superhero for those who couldn't defend themselves and went after vegans.

Flying for a while Filomena's famished, "where are we going Vlad? How far west have we gotten? I don't think I'll be able to make it all the way back before dawn."

Attempting to impress, Vlad didn't account for traveling time, "sorry. It's a bit out of the way but I promise you, it'll be worth it." Leading her to a secret place he's yet told Ella about.

Way out in the countryside Fil's only seen weed covered fields, "yeah? Better be at least a nice farmhouse and not some hick's barn."

He's able to make out the house high on the next hill, "right up there. It's the kind of place you ladies would enjoy living in. A billionaire's modern, country estate, backing onto woodlands."

Filomena begins to see the flat roofed structure, "is that a manor?" Bow shaped it appears to be a business building, "mansion? Looks like some sort of isolated IT company from here. Is it?"

"Modern mansion with lots of big glass windows. The owner would hate to see what happened. One of these places with the no trespassing signs. Now it's a safe haven." Getting closer Vlad scans the property.

"Safe haven? For who? You? For a rendezvous?" Detecting large creatures over there peaks her curiosity, "what's over there? A private zoo without any cages?"

"Rendezvous?" He finds the truth amusing, "I've yet told Ella about the place. There'd be a paradox with her knowing what's here that I'm afraid of. Ella the wolf may kill them within a year. Ella the woman would want us to wrangle home those cows."

"Cows?" All her physical sides get excited, "are you teasing me?" On the property she makes out silhouettes of cows, sleeping in place. "Vlad if that beef is disease free I'll forgo my first date rule."

"They are." Hearing the first date rule mentioned throws him a bit. "They're using the main house as their barn and the pool for drinking. How's your old school hunting skills? I've yet spooked one."

"Not in the last year," hungrily she spies Vlad, "for a few things." Viewing some of the sleeping herd she salivates in anticipation, "all these are disease free? Wow, Fil's getting her fill tonight."

"Filomena, you find a good one and dig in." Spotting a trio of cows Vlad slows to land between them, "I think I'll choose from one of these three Bessys right down here."

"Oh okay," she hadn't seen those focused on others, "well I'll just settle into one of these fine smelling ones over here." Wanting to gauge Vlad's hunting prowess she lands facing him.

On the ground he studies the cows guessing at the heaviest sleeper. That one. Adjusting position figures out his trajectory. That's it. Feet firmly planted and using the wings to spring up with Vladimir leaps upwards.

She's impressed to see him land softly on the back of its' neck. Seeing cow hairs float away she's sure that cow won't wake.

Not about to be left out she sizes up the bovine before her. Taking longer Filomena rocks back and forth on wings and feet.

Muscles worked up she tenses back momentarily before springing almost straight up.

Gliding down she gently lands on the neck smelling the cow first. Just sniffing the animal so closely her razor sharp teeth remove hairs. Oh clean.
