Tauris' p.o.v.:

Richard found the trail and agreed that I was correct. There was a pact of Lycans, on our territory. I could feel that he wasn't happy about it. He enjoyed his rest and peace here and so did I. A war was the last thing that I wanted right now, I knew that we could win this: Richard with his experiences and wisdom, and I with my strength and head. But still one of us could get hurt. No, it was not something to look for. So, we hoped that we could talk some sense into their heads. The closer we came to the pact, the stronger the horrible scent of wild Lycan got.

Richard approached the pact and asked to speak with their leader. I could feel the curiosity of the pact members and their awe for Richard. They didn't understand what a Lycan, so old and wise as Richard, did in the company of a vampire. They were scared of him. I smiled inwardly. They were scared of the old man. Not that it was a bad thing to be. I would be scared as well, if I was one of them. Richard was wise and experienced.

As Richard talked to the pact-leader I could see and feel their dislike for me. Richard asked me to participate in the conversation. I stepped forwards and saw a guy who looked like he was a year of 20 maybe 25 on tops. Richard introduced him to me as Lucius. He agreed to a treaty, that allowed him and the pact to stay around, as long as they stayed out of the village. Richard and Lucius discussed the borderlines. I made sure the Lake-house was safely on the inside of those boarders.

Happy with our achievements we left. Richard returned to the castle to continue with whatever he was busy doing. I ran to the hill from where I could keep an eye on the Lake-house.

"Hi, bloodsucker." a Lycan called as he approached me, while I was watching True's house, from a distance.

Tauris turned around and growled: "We told you not to come near the village."

"Sure you did, bloodsucker. I still can't believe that our leader is so scared of that old man."

"What do you want? " Tauris asked angry, ignoring the remark about Richard. As he tasted the emotions, he was surprised to find joy, amusement and most of all confidence.

"Just coming to check something for myself and now that I've done that, I'm here to make a deal."

"I don't make deals with dogs." Tauris said angry.

"Sure you will."

'Why is he so sure about himself?' Tauris thought doubtfully and said: "Not a chance, dog."

"Hear me out first, will you?"

"I thought we made it pretty clear that we're not interested in your shit."

"Well you'll be, in mine!"

Seliors p.o.v.:

How do they say it? While looking to your right, they're stealing something at your left. Well, wasn't that true? While I was busy, taking care of Marcus, a clan of wild Lycans was disturbing my plans. How could they, or better: How dear they. Now I'll need to change my whole plan. Ah well, maybe I can use them to my advantage.

Tauris p.o.v.:

I still can't believe that I made a deal with that dog. How could I? I nearly allowed him to hunt on my territory. And all of that for a human, but I couldn't risk that life. Still, I was risking a lot more lives for that particular one. But that one was so meaningful. I hadn't hesitated for one second, to give everything and more for that one life.

And still the thought of her being at risk made me scared to death. So scared, that I jumped trough my window, and ran to the Lake-House.

What I hadn't expected was to see the dog at the edge of her balcony. "What are you doing here?" I snarled furiously.

"You know what, bloodsucker? I didn't know what you see in that silly mortal. But now that I've see her myself... God, she's hot!" that dog said smiling.

"How dare you? We made a deal!"

"What can I say? I was curious." he said smiling.

"You dog."I snarled and launched for his throat.

He slapped me aside and we stumbled from the balcony, down into the meadow. During that fall he managed to transform into his wolf-form. And as he fell to the ground, he launched to bite my head of. My immortal speed came in handy to move out of his way. Still, he was capable to bite my right arm. I immediately felt the excruciating pain as his poison got into my system, biting like pure acid. I had known before it happened that it would hurt like hell. You see, this wasn't the first time that I was bitten by a Lycan. It was just a long time ago, that it had happened. So this felt as if it was killing me, and if I didn't got the poison out in time that was exactly what it would do. But I chose to ignore it, for now, and fought back. I managed to break his cheekbone and twist one of his legs in such a position that he had no other option than to limp around on tree legs.

At this point the coward desired to run of.

I chose against following him because currently the pain in my arm was excruciating. So I called an old ally of mine to watch over her during what was left of the night. I ran back home. There I hide myself, into my privet-wing, to clean the wound as good as possible. The last thing I remember doing was going to the library and starting to look up some works for the assignment.

I was scared that Richard would find out about this and give me a well deserved lecture about responsibility and stupidity. And while doing so, I felled asleep on the bench.
