Claws

Knock knock

Drax and Onyx slowly made their way to the house where Rose and Nate lived. They didn't live with their parents because of something that happened when they were children. It's a pretty small house. One story, looks like a two bedroom one bathroom. Decent.

"Soooo... Do we sneak in or knock like normies?" Onyx asked.

"Uhh... I think they'd be pretty freaked out to see a weird creepy thing and a walking dog knock on their door. Bescides, what if the neighbors see?" Replied Drax.

"It's nearly 2 am, I don't think barely anyone is up right now."

"Whatever. We're still sneaking in."

"Fine."

"So this is what human houses look like" Onyx whispered while quietly walking behind Drax.

"Yeah. Shhh."

Drax and Onyx slowly looked into one of the bedrooms in the small house. There, on the bed, was Rose cleaning some sort of knife.

"Holy shit she's awa--" Onyx coukdnt finish his sentence because Drax put his hand over Onyx's mouth. Rose must've heard them because in a second the 5'8 girl was up and looking around. Drax and Onyx gasped and slowly tiptoed away.

"Do you think sh--" Drax couldn't finish his sentence.

"Freeze right there you two. Or this thing goes straight in you." Rose said, holding up a polished silver knife which was glowing with a creepy purple aura.

Drax and Onyx both froze in their tracks once they saw that knife.

The knife was dipped in Cheilith blood. Cheilith's were a masked creature who could basically kill anything. Their blood could kill any supernatural monster/being if it entered the bloodstream. There was no current antidote, but even if there was, you still wouldn't probably survive.

"Where'd you get that...?" Drax asked, slowly backing away and taking Onyx with him.

"Why do you need to know?" Rose asked with a sly smirk.

"Rose, what's going o--" Nathan started to say. Stopping when he saw the familiar shadow of Onyx.

"Are you???" Nathan asked, way too shell shocked to get out the full question.

"Ehh... This is akward. Can you put the glowing purple knife down please?" Onyx asked... kind of sincerely.

Rose set the knife back in its hilt on her belt. She walked towards a lightswitch and was about to turn it on. So she could finally see whom her little brother was talking about.

"Wait!" Drax said, reaching foward as if to try and stop Rose from turning the light on.

Rose already flipped the switch.

Rose gasped as she saw the two creatures only a few feet in front of her. She set her hand on her knife again, but didn't take it out.

"What are you two??" She asked. Still shocked at their appearance.

"I'm Drax and this is Onyx. I'm a weird dog thing called a Cauxtre, and he's a weird furry dragon thing called a wickerbeast. We're here because we need your help."
