Unknown POV

"Well, well, well. Hello there young pups!" She giggled as she looked over her shoulder at the three men standing behind her. As she turned around, she spread her arms wide, allowing the men to stare at all her finery and oddities.

Oh, what an odd sight she was indeed. Glowing silver hair, streaked with bright teal flowed bone-straight down her back. A beautiful vintage top hat sat at an angle atop her head. She was dressed in a tight-fitting blood red corset over a lacy black dress. She stood gracefully on the tips of her red pointe shoes. Her eyes were two different colors, each trying to glow brighter than the other. One as Blue as the ocean shining in the sunlight, and the other as silver as the full moon shining in the background of the forest the small group stood in.

The three men stood tall and gazed at her in confusion. One stepped forward and cautiously asked "Who are you and what are you doing here? You're trespassing. State your name and your business in these woods." She twirled in a circle, not bothering to answer him, giggling before her eyes landed on the man who spoke. She skipped up to him and eyed him carefully before leaping over to the others. She circled them as if they were her prey. Then she laughed, a sound that twinkled throughout the clearing like bells.

"I've heard things, you know. Things, naughty naughty things about your pack. Things that the birds sing, the bugs buzz and the trees whisper about. I'm here to make sure you get your just dessert. With a side of tea, of course. You all share the same stink of the Bloody Rose Pack. I've seen your roses. Yet, not enough of the "Bloody" part of your name. I think I'll change that, don't you?"

With those words she carefully dipped forward, extending one leg behind her, towards the man in the front. With the swish of her foot, she slit the throat of the man with dagger hidden in her pointe shoes. Just as silently she flipped over the falling body. She shasayed over to the second man and put her hands around his neck. With a peck on his lips, she snapped his neck with a quick turn of his head.

She sat on the first fallen and painted a smile on his face with his blood, and did the same to the second man. She delicately wiped her hands on his shirt and turned towards the cowering third man. "Hush now," she whispered to him. "I won't hurt you. No, no. What's your name young one?" He shook quietly, his eyes filled with fear. "I-i-it's J-jer-emy, m-mam." He stuttered and looked towards the ground.

She cocked her head at him and grinned. "Hello. Do you know why I'm not going to hurt you Jeremy?" He shook his head silently, still looking towards the ground. " She put a single finger under his chin and pushed his head up. She looked him straight in the eye, then slowly scraped one long nail against his cheek, drawing blood.

"You and I are going to play a little game, Yeah? Your going to run all the way to your little alpha, and I'm going to chase you. When you reach him, tell him 'The Mad Mistress has come to collect her debts and that it's time to play.' Can you do that Jeremy? So Tag you're it. Time to run little Jeremy. Run."

A cruel smile filled her face and her canines shone in the moonlight. Jeremy gasped in recognition and took off running. He jumped, shifting in to a small brown wolf. Several times he glanced over his shoulder to see if he could still see her chasing as fast as a lighting bolt striking from the heavens.

She followed silently, keeping her eyes on the wolf in front of her. She saw the branches of the trees draw close to the ground as they welcomed her into their grasp. She leapt gracefully through the trees, landing without a sound.

She drew close to the edge of the forest and smelled the scent of several werewolves mixed together. She slowed to a stop and settled into the nook of one of the trees. She noticed the little brown wolf shift back into his human form and slide on some shorts out of a bin by a large mansion-like building. He, then scampered inside hopefully to find the weak alpha.

The odd girl sitting in the tree, masked her scent and curled up into a small ball, hoping to catch a small cat nap, before the alpha decided to go all, well, alpha on everyone.

Sure enough, she soon heard a loud growl roar throughout the area, followed by "SHE KILLED TWO OF MY WARRIORS AFTER WALTZING ONTO MY TERRITORY AND NOW SHE IS DEMANDING AN AUDIENCE WITH ME? WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!"

The girl shook her head, laughing as she stretched and leapt down from the nook in the tree. She looked around her and smiled, before POOF, disappearing without a trace.
