All These Possibilities

Cecil frowned, "I'm sorry, but these are hunters that only hunt for packs. You need to leave. I really don't want you to get hurt." He told Elsa, looking at her desperately.

Jez blushed, walking into the shop. She closed her umbrella and took off her glove, revealing dainty fingers with black nailpolish.

Elsa sighed and shook her head. "Why does it matter to you? I can handle myself - I am the daughter of the alpha, okay?"

Rian smiled at her. "Look at your hands! They are so tiny!" He grabbed her hand and played with her fingers. He smiled with her and chuckled.

Cecil frowned, "Great. Now I can hate myself even more for liking you." He grumbled. He wanted to protect her. But he made a promise to himself that he would avenge his friends.

Jez giggled, intertwining their fingers. "Lovely..." She said simply. She turned and looked at a few random items on the shelves. Most were glass, so she wanted to be careful.

Elsa was surprised. She didn't hear that very often. "Hey - what was that you just said?" She asked teasingly and she stepped closer to him then, smirking.

Rian smiled at her and held her hand tightly. He liked this - he didn't usually spend time with girls like that... He didn't usually have time - but he would make time with her.

Cecil pouted, "I said I like you. See, the hunter likes the wolf. Now can we please get you out of here so I can know that you are completely safe?" He begged.

Jez smiled, bumping into a girl who was looking at a glass cup. The girl dropped the cup, it shattering. She leaned down to pick it up, cutting her finger, the blood beginning to bubble up. Jez's eyes widened, burying her face in Rian's chest, trying to ignore the scent of the coppery liquid.

Elsa laughed at his words and she crossed her arms with a snide smirk. "Oh - that is the funniest thing I've heard." She teased and then reached her hand out for him. "Fine - but you have to guarantee my family will be safe - otherwise, I show no mercy."

Rian smiled lightly and then gasped as she bumped into some girl and all things became clear. With her face buried in him, he knew. He pulled her out of the little shop, keeping her in the shade. "Please... Please tell me I'm wrong... Please." She had to know what he was thinking.

Cecil nodded, "I promise. Now lets go." He agreed, trying to pull the beautiful girl out of the market place.

Jez looked at him with wide eyes, figuring out what he was. She stumbled back, wanting distance between them. "P-please, stay away." She wouldn't usually be scared of hunters, but it was sunny, she was too close to this man, there were people around..... And Jez- Jez didn't want to hurt Rian.

Elsa smiled and shook her head. "No - no... That doesn't sound too convincing!" She said lightly and took his hand. "Convince me." She liked seeing him squirm.

Rian frowned and walked out into the she, running his hands through his hair. "Shit! How?!" How was he falling for a vampire?! That was so damn disgusting. He couldn't believe himself.

Cecil wasn't prepared to get on his knees and beg her. "Look, if you wanna die, so be it. But I'm am not going to growl at your feet just because I have a crush one you. So are you coming or not, princess?"

Jez wanted to go after him, but she would not risk the sun. "I'm sorry.... Just don't kill me." She all but begged. She had a life and did not want to die. She was already suppressing new found feelings for this man.

(Ignore this one.).

Elsa chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Are you always so stubbornly annoying?" She asked teasingly and then started walking pulling him along. "I do things when I want to - not when someone tells me to - I am a princess after all."

Rian was freaking out. "I can't believe I didn't see it right away! What's wrong with me?!" He didn't even care - he couldn't kill her... But his whole family was hunters - what was he going to do?! "Shit... Shit... Shit."

Cecil rolled his eyes, muttering under his breath. "Princess of what exactly? A bunch of dogs?" He led her out the back way of the market place.

Jez had slipped her gloves back on, opening the umbrella. "Rian?" She asked softly, a hint of fear in her voice. She reached out touching his shoulder gently.

Elsa looked at him and hit his arm. "We aren't just a bunch of dogs, thank you! Don't you dare call me that!"

Rian had closed his eyes and was thinking. He didn't know what to say. "What?" He asked in a tense voice.

Cecil looked at him, "Then don't act like I'm below you. Because from where I stand, we are equals. At least you and me are."

Jez flinched at the tone in his voice. "P-please don't hate me? I haven't hurt anyone, and I wouldn't dare to hurt you. Just don't kill me at least."

Elsa crossed her arms. "Then don't cal me a dog, thank you very much!" She frowned.

Rian sighed and nodded his head. "I know - listen... I have family that will kill me if they find out about you..." He shook his head.

Cecil nodded, "Okay, I won't call you a dog and you don't treat me like I'm beneath you." He compromised.

Jezebel bit her lip, "You don't have to tell them..." She said softly, grabbing his hand, pressing it against her cheek.

Elsa smiled. "Fine - and by the way, dog is very offensive. First of all, we are wolves, and second of all, you can't kiss a dog like I know you want to."

Rian caressed her cheek and nodded his head. "For now, but not forever. I will protect you though..." He said. "Hell, what are you doing to me?"

Cecil rolled his eyes, "Whatever. Lets get going then." He said simply, pulling her in the direction away from the hunters.

Jez smiled, "I honestly have no clue. How old are you anyways?" She asked Rian. She liked him, and wanted to know everything she possibly could learn about him.

Elsa giggled and then shook her head. "Come on you big baby! I'm sure you want to." She teased, slipping her hand into his.

Rian chuckled lightly and shrugged."probably quite too young for you, hmm? I'm 21 - almost 22."

Cecil frowned, pulling her into his arms, kissing her deeply.

Jez giggled, "I'm 18... Technically I'm waaaaaaay older... Like 2000 years older..."
