A scuffle. A shout. The whizzing of an arrow. Silence.
A whine.
"That was mine," the large pitch black wolf growled, blue eyes glowing.
A chuckle came from the pure white lambs throat, the wolf momentarily forgetting his anger.
"Oh, but you could tell he had given up," she said calmly, waving her hand gracefully. Her black mask hid her face, and the wolf wanted nothing more than to see her normal eyes gazing at him with love.
"Lets go home," he murmured, a wolfish grin stretching across his features as she ran her fingers through his silky fur.
"Hmm," she responded, following as he darted through the forest, abandoning the dead body of their kill.
When they arrived at their home, a large cave in the bottom of the hill, the wolf immediately collapsed in front of the fire that had lit up as soon as they entered.
"Taehyung..." the Lamb murmured, curling into the curve of his body. The predator looked at her, blue eyes becoming muted in the firelight.
Gently, she reached out and pulled off his mask, watching as his form slowly morphed into one of a human. A large one, but a human. His pitch black hair rustled, appearing almost purple.
He grinned at her, wolfish traits still apparent. Reaching up, he grabbed her own mask, revealing her human-like features. He placed his palm on her cheek, rubbing circles on her cheek.
"Did you ever think..." he paused and darted his tongue out to wet his lips. "Of what it would be like to be normal?"
She paused, looking at him curiously.
"What do you mean?"
"Like...a human. The ones that can love."
He was staring intensely into her eyes, and though he'd brought this up many times, it surprised her every time.
Sighing, she snuggled into him, feeling his arms engulf her, the warmth of the fire flicking over them.
"You know we can't..." she said sadly.
"Yes...but I can dream, can't I?" He pressed a kiss to her cheek, feeling her melt into him.
"Yes, but we're not supposed to. We are death. We do our job, and keep order."
His sigh echoed through the desolate cave, and he held her closer.
"Well then when all the life here is gone, and the world is empty, we can live this dream," He whispered in her ear.
"Are you sad?"
"I am."
"What does it feel like?"
"A long hunt with no kill."
There was a pause, and then the wolf spoke again.
"Lamb, tell me a story."
She closed her eyes, basking in his warmth before beginning.
"There was once a pale man with dark hair who was very lonely."
"Why was it lonely?"
"All things must meet this man, so they shunned him."
"Did he chase them all?"
"He took an axe and split himself in two right down the middle."
"So he would always have a friend?"
"So he would always have a friend."

my sister showed me this champion from League Of Legends and this was the only thing I could think of asdfghjkl. Anyways, the Lamb can be (Y/N), if you want. Just interpret it however you want to. ALSO I ONLY USED THE CHARACTERS. THEIR PERSONALITIES AND NAMES ARE FAKE.
