Life In the Shadows

A New Member?

I had cleaned up, feeling absolutely better now. I sighed while the spring air passed by my skin making chills run up my spine. People would think I was absolutely nuts the way I acted and killed people in bloodlust. Yet, I didn't care it came with the demon half of me, and also my Beast, loved blood. It was a perfect combination, though I can turn very frightening if I try to suppress the lust for too long. I grinned a bit psychotically, that asshole will be in my gasps soon enough. I dreamed of bathing in his blood while watching his life drain away from his eyes. I wanted my revenge on breaking my heart, I wanted to see him the way I felt for many years. My pain that I have felt for so many years now will soon be over. I gasped loudly loosing all the air in my lungs, my heart clenched tightly making the air flow cease. My eyes widen at the pain in my lungs, it soon gave way as I almost collapsed to the floor taking big breaths. This was not usual, lately my heart has tightened yet this.... this feeling was as if he was near and... the mixture of rejection and an unknown pain. Was it my body just sensing that Colton was close? Yet I have been near his territory and yet have felt like this. No, I have been close to Colton previously but this was a different pain, something more. I got my posture back and continued to the back of the packs house. I could already see that Salem was teaching his class demonstrating a couple block attacks. I took a deep breath, I had to shake this feeling off of this dread. I needed to be on my game to instruct my new members, I couldn't show them any weakness. I got closer to the point I could now hear Salem's authoritative voice, yet I stopped as I sensed my little ones presence. I looked down to my side to see Gaara standing next to me staring at Salem. I laid my hand gently on his shoulder and asked quietly

"Why are you not with Kana, you need to get control of your beast Gaara."

Gaara looked up at me with... sadness and fear. My heart clinched, what had happened to him? I got to his height as he replied in a fearsome tone.

"Zander was making fun of my beast... I fear that if I let him out he will automatically attack him. I do not have that much control over Jaken, he wants to show him how powerful he truly is."

I took a deep breath as this mornings news played through my mind. I could not bare the thought of my little Gaara having to go through that pain from his own beast. I could not even bare the fact that Jaken could harm my little Gaara in such a gruesome way. I bit my lip as
I say sternly

"That is why Kana is there Gaara, she knows the spot to press that will make Jaken go back down. Heed my warning Gaara... if you do not learn how to control your beast, he will hurt everyone close to you as well as you if he has power over your body for too long."

Gaara's eyes widen in horror, this was the only way to show him how important it was for him to get these things down now, before it was too late. I gently touch his face showing him that I was completely being honest with him. He was the type that didn't like things sugar coated. Gaara nodded his head in agreement after a bit of silence and disappeared. I took a shaky breath and turned back towards Salem's group. It was time for me to kick his white ass. I smirked as I entered the group as they immediately stepped aside from my path. Salem grinned evilly at me while saying in his cocky tone

"Awe, Alpha Vex, you have finally appeared. I was starting to think that you were too afraid to fight me."

I chuckled lowly at him, my was he a cocky little thing. I smirked at the new recruits, may have my pack grown so much while my news ones observe. I then say amused

"Do not get too cocky now, Salem. Remember I am the Alpha and you're... just the beta. I do not fear you."

Salem smirked evilly at me and quickly glanced at my legs. Soon he had shifted into his natural form and aimed to take out my stance. Just as he was close enough I move to the side and twisted my body grabbing the back of his neck fur and flung him into a tree. I heard a lot of gasps as I spoke out in my Alpha voice
