Faline

Should probably be worried that I'm hunting a human down with the intent to harm...but I'm not. Following both my nose and Seth's lead, we find the man in one of the other community bathrooms, humming cheerfully as he washes himself.

Shifting back to human, I hold Seth back for a moment, whispering to him to wait for me. He nods, eyes looking a little putout. I grin at him and tap the side of my nose. He has no trouble keeping eye contact with me, and with Lex being the one to tell me who he is, think ‘ole Seth here bats for the other team. No problem here.

This bathroom setup being much the same as the last one, I walk right in. Totally naked mind you. With him being in here, I guess his room didn't have an attached restroom. Most of the ones I'd been in did, so he got screwed. Would like to know who the hell gave him the wrong 'merchandise'.

Sort of on the tallish side, pale, skinny, and real nondescript looking. Short dark hair, no real muscle tone. Would explain his need for restraints.

Before I became a Vampire I’d already had a decent figure, now it's just enhanced. Small bust forever perky, hips rounded, longer hair, and eyes bright. A golden gaze takes him in and judges threat level.

Minuscule.

He turns as I walk in, his blue eyes open then widen as I walk towards him. Soft package starts to stiffen immediately. Men can seriously be gross at times. Then again, so can women.

Swaying my hips makes his eyes darken, stepping out from under the water spray. Nothing about this man sticks out till you see his eyes flare in his madness. Not crazy exactly, but a need to hurt others.

I give a small smile as I stop in the middle of the room. The bush surrounding his saggy sack and hardening shaft needs an appointment with a weed-whacker. His toothy smile turns my stomach. No fangs, but just as predatory.

"Well hello there, cutie. Did you come to show me out, or to play?"

My mind whirls for what to do to this man. While with my sister, I had learned how to produce my claws. An ability I was given upon being Converted, I can do what the Were-animals can and grow claws while in human form.

Vampires usually only have two forms; human and animal, no in-between. Least not that I've seen, unless they have this ability, which so far I only know me and Lady to have.

I smile sweetly and put my arms behind me, rocking back and forth on my feet. The picture of innocence. He doesn't even realize I could be a threat or had come to him for what he'd done. Completely clueless.

Coming closer to me, my innocent smile turns into a smirk. Fingers having grown a set of claws to make any feline proud, I ready myself. He now senses something is off, eyes going wary.

"I hear you like blades. My sister is the one who’s more for those, but I have something else you may find enjoyable."

His face pinches down. Get the feeling this man is a woman-hater. That's okay, he won't be for long. Keeping my smirk, I pull my arms from behind my back. A hand raises to my face where I slide a finger over my lip, tongue out licking it, smirk baring my teeth and small fangs. The look on his face finally shows fear as he takes a step back, eyes darting to the exit.

"Wouldn't go that way if I were you... Big wolf just waiting to cause some pain is out there. I told him to stay, but he and I can trade places, if you like?"

"That slut asked for what she got. You can't harm me, I'm a paying customer. I paid for the bitch, I can do what I like."

Gold eyes harden as I sneer at him.

"Paying customer... Yes. That doesn't mean I can't hurt you. You paid for sex, not flesh. If you wanted to cut someone up, you should have dished out the extra cash. But since you didn't, it's now going to cost you. Eye-for-an-eye an all that."

His mouth opens to protest more, but I don't give him a chance. Bringing claws down across his body, I lay him open. Cuts going just deep enough to hurt and bleed a lot.

"Sorry if I don't get the lines right; sister is the artist, not me."

With the first slices having been such a shock, he just stands there. Finally screaming with my second and third swipes, his wounds mimic the ones he put on Mercedes, plus a few extra. Groin of his gets a very close shave as his inner thighs get marked up.

His shouting echoes in the tile room, but no one comes to his rescue. Small nicks to his shaft only happen because he moves. Not my fault.

Both he and I are splashed in his blood as he cowers in the corner, arms shredded from trying to protect himself. Judging from the way I see things now, he had started slashing at her before she was restrained. Can't exactly do that in here, but I can do something else.

"Seth, care to join me?"

The tall monster wolf walks in, the cowering man starts really screaming then. Doesn't stop till I crouch in front of him and motion for him to hush.

"You tied her down. I can't exactly replicate that in here, but I'm sure if Seth here can watch you for a moment, I can find something to improvise."

Standing once more, the man whimpers. I sneer at him before walking to the shelving and his clothes. Button-up cotton shirt with slacks, socks, and tennis shoes. No underwear. Go figure.

Personal effects are also there, but I ignore it all. Reaching for a longer towel and tearing it into long strips as I move back to the huddled bleeding shape, showing the pieces to Seth and tossing a look to the showerhead, he nods and bears his teeth in a smile.

"Well come on then, cutie. We've got to do this fast, others will be coming soon and I don't want to be right in the middle when they arrive."

His tear-filled eyes have a spark of hope, which just makes me laugh. When he refuses to stand, Seth moves closer to him with a growl. The scent of urine reaches my nose, causing it to scrunch in distaste.

"Big bad man can cut up a woman who's tied down, but when faced with the same, he pisses himself. You know something? Even with that saggy ass pair between your legs, that woman has more balls than you do."

Anger finally gets him to stand, the thought to come at me halted with Seth's tail flick. The man winces but moves where I direct him.

"Now you'll have to bear with me, I'm too short for this next part, so my friend here is going to get pretty up close and personal. If I were you, I'd refrain from pissing anymore."

Watery blue eyes glare at me the whole time Seth is tying him, arms going up as his wrists get lashed to the arm of the showerhead. The water had been turned off so don't have to worry about that as towel scraps get wrapped tight around his skin. The Werewolf gets even more creative, lashing up the man’s ankles to the lower water spigots so his legs are spread wide. I still get glared at, but I just smile at him.

"That looks really uncomfortable. Sadly, there are no bath salts in here to rub in those wounds of yours, but I'm sure Seth has a few drawings he'd like to do."

The man’s eyes widen to the size of saucers, face falling into terror. Soon as he opens his mouth to scream, the wolf shoves a wad of leftover towel into his mouth. Can still hear his muffled yells, but they aren't anywhere near as piercing.

"You see, while I've been in the kitchen cooking, the poor wolf has had nothing to do but stand around. We have to let him amuse himself in healthy ways to teach good habits. Tormenting sad little women-hating men like you should do just the trick."

With that said, I move to a different showerhead, turn it on, and wash the blood from me while listening to his muffled cries. Weird flashes keep flipping through my brain, but when I try focusing on them, they disintegrate.

Frowning, I peel down the wall within my head that keeps my sister out. Sure enough, the images are from her. She's dreaming.

Having seen just how messed up her dreams can get, I pull out immediately. A parting image of Asher appears just as I close it off. The weird part is it wasn't him as a wolf but as a man. He's cursed to staying in wolf form, so the only way to have been seen as a human was the pictures we had found before all this happened. He was very handsome as a man, still is according to my sister's dreams, but it was warped with sadness. She must be dreaming of him and his wife. Don't envy her that.

I'm knocked out of my reverie by Lady clearing her throat. Seth has backed off from the human male. Before I gather any more, I wrap myself up in a towel and turn the water off.

A rapid heartbeat has me inhaling deeply. Near metallic-colored eyes snap open to land on the human who's covered in blood. Stepping up close to him, I turn on the cold water to the shower above his head.

Icy water has him crying out again, but it clears up some of what Seth has drawn. His claws are much thicker and larger than mine, so his marks are wide furrows. Relatively shallow, but if left alive, he will scar up something fierce. I can't make out what he's done, but he seems to enjoy it.

Looking back at Lady, I make a motion of offering the human to her. Her eyebrow raises, arms crossing over her suit coat.

"I'm done with him now, think Seth is too. Just returning tit for tat."

She motions for Seth to leave, so he does so immediately. Not exactly cowed, but very submissive towards her. She walks up to the man, a slight look of distaste on her face as she pulls the gag from his mouth.

He's whimpering and begging for her to let him go. Blubbering through the water. I turn it off so he isn't spitting it at her. He should be glad for the cold...it slowed the blood flow.

"Mr. Gopper, I have a few questions that I'm hoping you can clear up for me."

His chattered begging gets ignored as she keeps going.

"Did you not pay for pleasures of the body?"

He nods.

"And you bought the woman Mercedes, yes?"

Again he nods, face drawn in pain.

"Explain to me then, why the girl is all cut up and with my healer right now. If you had wanted flesh, you would have been presented with someone else."

Through chattering teeth, he manages to get his answers out.

"I p-p-paid for the girl. She was m-m-mine to d-do with. Was just getting m-m-my m-monies worth."

Lady nods and the relief on him is visible.

"You did indeed pay for her and was yours for an allotted amount of time. You did not, however, pay to bleed her. Sex was what you bought, that was all you should have gotten. You have broken rules here, Mr. Gopper, and just action was taken."

His face falls into more tears before he tries to threaten. The Mistress holds up a hand and looks at him haughtily.

"If you wish to stay alive human, I suggest you close that mouth of yours. Faline and Seth were very gentle with you. If you would like to be taken to my quarters, I can show you my tender mercies."

Features redden as he glares at her, staying quiet for only a minute before threatening about exposure and burning the place to the ground. I shake my head at him, which catches his attention, then he looks back to Lady. I can't see the look on her face since I had stepped away, but the color drain on his speaks volumes.

Now he tries pleading and apologizing, but he's ignored as she turns and comes towards me. Aww, shit. Here's to hoping I get some lube before the reaming I'm about to get. Bodily moving me, we leave the room.
