Watching him through narrowed eyes and a bunched up face from all the growling, she saw him come back to reality. The tree branch was just a tree branch and whatever seemed to cover his fur wasn’t covering it anymore. As he slowly came back to reality, so did she, but she continued to growl anyway. Her brains began to come back very slowly, and even though the anger was still there – the reason for it was absent.
As Malakai made his way out of the river and stepped towards her in a ballsy manner, she felt the need to rip a chunk out of his body. She snorted and licked her teeth, feeling herself begin to drool like a rabid bitch. She continued to snarl toward him, each step towards her earning him a louder growl and larger array of fangs. Her eyes were wide, ears forward, tail pretty high (not alpha high, though), and hackles were on all sorts of ends. She snorted at his words; he would rip her apart? Not with these muscles. Even if he were to get the best of her somewhere down the line, she was angry enough to rip a lion into quarters. She doubted it highly. He would not be able to beat her. Ever.
As he inched toward her, she readied herself for the attack. Her muscles were tense, but loose – just how Alaki had showed her when he gave her Katana lessons. Tense enough to hold her own strength, but loose enough to let her be flexible and move fast. Her fangs ached for something to bite, something to sink into. His challenge tempted her, and she figured she didn’t have much to lose. By her winning, it would show him that she was better. That she couldn’t be beat by him. ”I wouldn’t ask you to run.” Her voice was sinister as she thought about the taste of his blood in her mouth. Dripping off of her tongue after she was done beating him.
It was time. Time to kill. She didn’t really plan on killing him, but hurting him just enough. Her growling lowered – too much of it would make her voice raspy. She stepped forward, muscles tense and ready to spring. Nothing was on her mind except for the spot that she planned to sink her teeth into next. Another step brought her towards him, and her hind legs tensed for the lunge. Feeling herself ready to spring, it was almost like the anger was balled up and was about to be thrown at him – except, she couldn’t.
She couldn’t because unfortunately, they were still on Anathema grounds. If she were to spill his blood, everyone would smell it and all the evidence would be traced back to her. She would get banished, and it wasn’t something she wanted. All for something useless. The blow of realization hit her like a wall. Her awkward start of movement stopped so suddenly. She stopped growling and whined, reclining to her haunches with her big head low. Her eyes were set on something in front of her, passed Malakai. Her hackles were still raised, but there wasn’t anything she could do about her annoyance. All the acting she wanted to do right now would get her in trouble.
”I can’t.” She was pissed off at the fact that she almost was able. Her mind was clear now, rid from the grip of the poisonous mushrooms. Anger never mixed well with anything, including just her. Axelle was hot-headed. Whenever she was angry, she made sure whoever made her that way paid for it. And she was even more annoyed at the fact that this time it was with Malakai and even more at the fact that she couldn’t do what she planned to. She looked weak, but she knew it in her heart that she would’ve done it. She would have attacked him if they were not in Anathema territory. She hated looking weak though. She wouldn’t look at Malakai. Instead, she continued to look passed him with her head lower than her shoulders. Her two-toned body tense with nowhere to go. She sat there silently, trying to get rid of the anger that was just burning through her like wildfire. She needed to cool off, but she wouldn’t run away. She had to face her problems, and she had a feeling that he would have something to say sooner or later.
