The Taste of Seduction

Elvin lunged at Micheal with such inhuman speed and grabbed him by the throat. He raised him as easily as if he was a feather and squeezed Micheal's throat so tightly his eyes popped.

Micheal writhed and kicked violently to break free from Elvin's grip but it was to no avail. When he was gasping for air and his face turned beet red,

Elvin snorted and hurled him against a tree.

Micheal groaned in pain on the ground.

"You should have practiced more, Micheal. You were always weak, that's why you never qualified to be a knight." Elvin said, his lips curling up.

"Now I'm going to fucking kill you. All of you and your stupid cult of brotherhood." Elvin growled and removed a sword from his belt. Meredith didn't even notice that he was carrying a sword.

Meredith watched the scene before her as if it were a dream. Icy tendrils robbed her of action, freezing her in place and all she could do was nothing but watch, paralyzed with fright.

She stood in place, her jaw hanging open,and watched helplessly.

Micheal and his brothers or friends were shifting into something inhuman.

Her heart throbbed in her ears, loud and irregular, but she barely heard it, for her mind was clouded with fear.

They screamed in agony as their spine broke and changed strictly followed by their arms and legs twisting in inverse ways.

Their faces contorted as a long tail extended out behind them, and then they lunged forward onto their hands.

Their screams turned into a long howl as dark fur sprouted from their body, and their clothing tore itself from their body as their muscles increased in size.

Meredith stared up at the creature which was Micheal a few minutes ago as it opened its mouth and tilted its head back. It's razor sharp teeth dripped with glistening saliva as it let out a deafening roar toward the night sky.

Terror washed over her, raising the fine hairs on the back of her neck and then she screamed. She had read about werewolves and knew she was a tribrid but never did she think they were such scary creatures.

Elvin turned to look at her and he frowned. He came to stand in front of her and grabbed her by the shoulder.

"Heylook at me." He shook her, breaking her out of her trance.

"Go and hide behind the bushes. No matter what you hear or see, don't come out until I say so. Do you understand?"

Meredith nodded in a daze. Her gaze never leaving Micheal's figure.

"Now run!"

But she couldn't. Fear immobilized her.

The fear ate away at her sanity, reducing her to a gibbering wreck Haunted by horror, all she could do was watch helplessly.

He sighed and grabbed her hand with an alarming rate he hid her behind a bush and then went back to face the wolves.

Meredith watched, huddled beneath a large bush, as the three beasts circled Elvin, his sword

outstretched and at the ready.

"You will pay for killing my sister, Micheal."

He removed a bottle from his pouch and threw it at Nicholas and the other wolf. A smoothing scent filled the air .

Meredith scrunched her face curious about what was in the bottle. She watched in horror as the giant creatures froze where they stood. Their whole body seemed to be in a trance.

The only thing she could see moving was their eyes, which darted around in terror as their bodies refused to move.

He immobilized them!

"This is between me and Micheal.I will attend to you dogs soon."

Elvin flipped the sword expertly in his hand as he

continued circling, and she could swear he was

smiling, though it was impossible to know for sure

through the thick blanket of night.

Micheal lunged towards Elvin and he dodged, slicing the sword across the Micheal's left shoulder.

The wolf howled in pain and he bared his glistening teeth and swiped at Elvin's shoulder. But in his injured state, the blow was weak and slow. Elvin easily evaded the attack, ducking just in time.

He laughed at Micheal's attempt to strike him.

"You were always weak Micheal. That's why master never chose you. Even creating that cult of yours couldn't make your stronger just more pathetic."

Micheal grunted,pain flashing in his eyes.

"But most importantly you always lacked attention. If you had paid attention you would have notice the silver and wolfbane laced in my sword.

He lifted his sword and smirked while he came to stand directly over the wolf, pointing the sharp end toward the beast's chest.

The wolf whined and growled beneath him, blood

still pouring out of the wound in his chest.

"This is for my sister." Elvin said and plunged

his sword down with mighty force, straight through

the heart of the wolf.

A cry of anguish erupted from the creature's mouth.

It coughed and sputtered as blood splashed out,

creating a disgusting gurgling sound.

It struggled on the ground for a few more moments and then shifted back into Micheal's human form. He was completely naked.

"I-I-will say.hello to your sister- in hell for you." He chuckled and glanced at Meredith hiding in the bush.

Meredith met his gaze and she swallowed as he gave her a last look. His lips curled up in a dark smile before his body went still.

Elvin then turned to the others and walked slowly to them.

Without a word he pierced his sword straight into their heart. They fell into the ground and changed into their human form.

"Thebrotherhood won't stop..until she is dead"

Nicholas smirked before he exhaled his last breath.

His eyes remained open, staring into her.

The sudden shock made her tense her muscles a she stared into his vacant gaze.

A hand on her shoulder pulled her away from her daze and she slowly turned her body, meeting Elvin's worried gaze.

Her gaze trailed down his body and saw his blood stained sword.

Are you okay?" He asked cautiously.

Meredith tore her eyes from the weapon and stared up at him as silent tears streamed down her cheeks.

No..She wasn't.
