Was it bitter when you tossed and turned

Her body seemed to be boiling up from within when the woman finally retired from today’s sword session with herself. In the very beginning it had been exhausting to dance around on her own without a partner, but this was something she hardly considered anymore. The movement was practised and imprinted into her mechanical memory for later use. Muscles ached dully, but it was a pain she bore with great contentment. She had feared she had fallen too deep into shadow to ever remerge into the sunlight, but she had been wrong. Things were moving very slowly, but definitely in the direction she wanted them to move. The young mother even found that she missed the heavy presence of her only son, though she was glad that Kaena had taken over the main custody of him. She knew that she was not fit to be a mother no matter if she tried. The child did not deserve to be unhappy, and so moving him to Kaana had been a wise choice.

Moving to the Russian’s bedroom door, she found that the room was empty. She had no intentions of storming into his private home and sneak around in his things, so she merely turned and made her way downstairs instead. It was extraordinary how well she did, for she had believed that her life had been beyond mending. How wrong she had been ,and it was wonderful to know this. By the stairs, the woman looked up to cast a crimson glance in the direction of her own floor, which was located on the floor above. Her eyelids seemed to droop with the lack of rest, and the night continued to mature. Perhaps it would be worth it to make it an early night and go to sleep. Yet she remained reluctant, for her body was still in high gear after the workout session. She rarely got to sleep straight away right after physical work out anyway, and so would allow a few more hours to pass by before pursuing sleep. In a tragically rare bolt of curiosity, the woman wandered into the Mansion’s living room to take a look at the literature available.

I hope I'm correct in assuming that Halo's in her home. Here goes :3. WC: 325 {3 points}


Night had come to the land and Sepirah was just carrying herself along. Her body hung as her mind was filled with questions. A lot had been on her mind lately. The jackal had been out of the pack much more than she thought she ever would be and she was making friends with some wolves. What would the other Inferni members think of her if she told them what she was doing? Was it wrong for a jackal to make some friends with wolves? She didn’t think so, but Inferni seemed like a bit of a weird pack. There was also Shawchert’s purposal of his new pack and having her join. Inferni was not feeling like home but who could she even talk to? Would anyone in Inferni listen to her and not go behind her back? She sighed and continued on home.

The darkness was coming quicker than she thought and everything was looking the same. She paused and lowered her rear as she looked to the sky. The stars were dancing beautifully in the sky as the moon sat proudly. Her golden orbs stayed on the sky as she moved back into her thought. She closed her eyes and folded her ears down as she waited a bit longer for the moon to rise into the sky. It was rather lonely coming back home. She wished there was someone who’d welcome her back home after a long day. Once a bit of light shined on the land, she began to head back to her cave once more.

Sepirah continued on until she was right out in front of the house. The jackal hadn’t realized that anyone lived in a home around here and crept closer to investigate. So far it seemed her fur was blending in well with her surroundings. All that could be seen where her golden eyes. From what the dark princess could tell, someone was living here, but who?

She is in the mansion Smile
[html]

Eyes narrowed as the woman glanced over the various titles of human literature. She had never quite managed to find much interesting in them despite having learned the art of reading. She could not spell and so was a horrible writer, but the reading part had stuck with her, she guessed. Now, though, she had a reason to attempt to fish up knowledge. Yes, she genuinely feared she was boring. She had never really had much to work for, except for her warrior skills after she had been promoted to Hastati. Now as a Hydra, she was probably one of the deadliest coyotes in the clan, but Silas was not a canine that she imagined would remain heavily impressed by that. He was no warrior, and she wanted to be more like him and share his interests. She knew that these thoughts were silly and kind of obsessive, but she could not help it.

Closing her fiery eyes for just a moment, fingers grabbed for a random book on the shelf and drew it out. As she peered at the cover, she guessed she could have picked worse. How to kill a mockingbird. Did they have to write books on that? She knew how to take down birds. Traps, poison, even archery, though that was not on her list of skills. The corners of her lips lifted slightly as she thought about this, turning around to walk to the couch. The mansion seemed lonely tonight, so she would be able to sit in a common room without interruption. With her maroon eyes busy with the first page of the strange book, she failed to notice the glowing pair of eyes outside the window.

Sepirah continued to move towards the structure and peering into the window. She noticed the female scanning over the books and trying to find one to read. The dark princess had to admit that she was not much for reading, unless they had certain fighting techniques she could learn and form into her own style. Her mind moved back to the thought of joining Shawchert’s pack. The jackal was sure that writing would also be welcomed with the arts, but she wasn’t really a writer either. Her mind was forced back to her decision on whether to join the wolf’s pack or not. This was the one thing she didn’t want to think about. The jackal wanted her mind to relax and not think about the decision she would son have to make, a decision that may or may not change her life and the pack’s view of her.

After Sepirah finally set her mind free, she watched the female pull out a book and begin to read it. As the dark princess sat there, she tried to think of a way to get the coyote’s attention without making her upset. After a few minutes of thinking, the jackal took her front paw and began to tap on the window. As she waited for the coyote to turn her attention away from the book, and towards her. The breeze was beginning to pick up and it was getting cold outside. The jackal was pondering about racing back home, but if she could take a break here and get to know more Inferni members, then she wasn’t going to pass up that chance. The dark princess moved back from the window and sat outside the door to see if the female would let her inside and hide from the wind. Her fur danced as she wagged her tail, waiting patiently on the coyote.

She is in the mansion Smile

He was not allowed much time to swim through the pages before a soft rap sounded against glass. Ruby eyes sharpened, almost dangerously so, as the Lykoi looked up from the yellowing pages of the human book to gaze to the darkness outside the window. Indeed, there was a face there. Eyebrows furrowed as she stared at the stranger. After a few moments the face disappeared and the hybrid woman wondered if it had just been a weirdo member passing by and demanding her attention before moving on. The woman waited a moment longer before tossing the paperback book down on the table. She should make an effort out of figuring out who the fuck was the creep stalking the mansion’s shell.

Halo moved swiftly to the door and wrestled the handle down as she pulled. Indeed, there was another canine sitting outside on the step. Again, ruby eyes narrowed as the Hydra glared at the dark creature. She was not certain of name, but could this be another one of the jackal siblings that had arrived in Inferni half a year ago? A frown of disapproval pulled the corners of her lips down. ”Don't you know how to open a door?” For a luperci, this was not impressive at all. A patronizing snort was given before she simply turned and walked back into the living room. Was she some kind of servant expected to open doors for others now?

She settled down in the seat again and gazed at the tired title of her book. She had worked up her focus before starting to read, but the stupid girl had ruined her concentration.

Sepirah waited patiently at the door and formed a smile on her face when the female opened the door. Her expression quickly changed to a scowl to the coyote’s comment. Just what was her problem? She had done nothing wrong and didn’t want to trespass on the female’s home, that is if this was her home. She growled lowly and began to step inside. ”Yes I know how to use a door but I know better than to trespass on someone’s home. You don’t have to be so rude miss.” The dark princess moved off to the side and gave a small yawn. She was still in her lupus form, as was her preferred form. The jackal didn’t want to get into the coyote’s way so she stayed out in the foyer.

Sepirah watched as the female left and she sat near the door, looking out the window. Already she had regretted even asking to come in and stay in the mansion with this coyote. The dark princess began to shift into her optime form and felt her body shifting. Her structure took its change and rose to her feet. Her black hair hung from her head while her braids laid on her left shoulder. She gave another small yawn before heading to where the female went.

Sepirah came in and noticed the female reading a book. Not wanting to start up her temper, the dark princess moved over to the books and began to look through them. Not really any of the book caught her interest, but she continued to look through them anyways. Her eyes wandered away from the books and over to the female. Her eyes caught onto one thing in particular, this coyote had the Choas Star tattoo on her body. So this woman was a Lykoi just like her. She turned back to the books before speaking. ”So, you’re a Lykoi huh? Who knew such rude wolves came from our family.”

The impolite response from the dark woman was ignored and received no audible response from the Hydra. She had better things to do than to shackle with some lowly underling here. Even the book would be more worthwhile. Yes, there were some wannabe Lykois that came and went as they pleased, but there were some that never really stuck to Halo’s memory because they were merely passing through, believing that Inferni was some kind of camp with free food and protection while they got ready to move on and leave without another thought. The lack of general loyalty amongst members made lips curl in seething disapproval.

A few minutes were all she got before the idiot came into the living room to disturb her once again. Again the other’s worthless words would have been ignored, if it hadn’t been for the inane words that came from the other. Wolves?” My god, what has this family come to.. ”How fucking dare you come into this place and call me wolf?” the transition from annoyance to fury had happened instantly. The mockingbird book was forgotten and Halo rose from her seat, slowly turning to face the ruthless thing. Oh, if she only had her sword here now. What was worse—this lowly being before her seemed to believe that.. what, that they were wolves?

Ruby burned in a beautiful face turned ugly by the expression possessing it. ”Say that again, I dare you.” Her voice seemed almost teasing—the female Hydra was not above giving Inferni members a physical lesson when they failed to recognize their place in the hierarchy. It was still with fondness that the Lykoi woman thought of the beating she had given Eris when she had killed one of her rats and thrown it into Halo’s face. She believed she wanted to turn this half-sibling's face into a bloody pulp.

Sepirah was far from a “wanna be” lykoi. She was a proud wizard of this family and was glad to wear the trade mark of the family. She noticed that the female did not have the orange muzzle that most of the family seemed to have. Speaking of how she was acting, she felt she wasn’t being impolite in any way. In fact if anything, she felt like the coyote was the one who was being impolite. She wandered her eyes around the room and then back to the books before she noticed that there was something wrong with the female. There was the sudden look of anger in her eyes. Did the jackal say something against her besides the fact that she was rude? There was no need to get upset over a comment like that. She ignored the fact that the coyote woman was angry and decided to continued to look at the many books in the room.

It wasn’t until the female began to shout at the top of her lungs at Sepirah that she even gave a care to turn around and look back. She then realized her mistake in calling her a wolf rather than a coyote. She shook her head as the coyote made her threat to say it again. The dark princess gave a small smug look on her face before rolling her eyes. ”Oh my mistake miss. I meant to call you a coyote. I’ve just seen so many wolves around that I seem to forget that Mudbloods hates them so much.” She then turned her head away, not wanting to bother with the female anymore. The jackal wanted to just bolt out of the place and head straight for home. At least there she wouldn’t have to put up with this.

I apologize for Halo's behaviour Undecided
[html]

The harm had already been inflicted and with Halo there was no immediate way back. Sepirah could attempt to take back the words she so thoughtlessly had spoken, but Halo’s ruby held deep judgement within their burning hues. It was not only that, but the other girl was so clearly disrespectful in her general behaviour. Perhaps the Hydra could have partly understood it, as she recognized that it could be difficult to behave properly when the superior member held an unpleasant personality, but fact was that she was one of Mudbloods’s trained warriors yet was treated as if she was an equal or lower by the dark hued woman. Unacceptable.

And not to forget that she had been called a bloody wolf? Sepirah’s words did the opposite of soothing the Lykoi’s annoyance. How could one seem to forget such a thing? Perhaps—and only perhaps could she have forgiven a common wizard not related to the Lykoi family for speaking such words, but this female carried the same blood as Halo, and the very thought of that caused her lips to curl with plain disgust. The other turned her face away from her standing form, again lacking the ability to even attempt to repair the scene. Well, first impressions were very important, and Halo was quite certain that she had received a correct image of this pathetic half-sibling.

Taking two steps closer to the dark clan member, eyes narrowed with that same burning reluctance. ”You're no true child of Samael.” The girl did not even have a chaos star. The latter wouldn’t have meant much in general—quite a few Lykois lacked the branded star—but she was quietly relieved to see. As soon as the insulting words were spoken, the Hydra spat. Not at the ground, but at the other luperci. To believe that they were equals and spending time with the enemy so that she lacked the brains to distinguish whether or not her family were wolves or coyotes was too much for the proud Halo Lykoi.

This is sure to be interesting. WC: 322 {3 points}


Sepirah knew she could not take back what she said, but in her mind, she was right and the coyote woman was wrong. She was the better one here and she didn’t need to hear anymore of the crap she was getting. The dark princess could see the anger in the female’s eyes and wanted to get rid of her so bad. Well soon she wouldn’t have to because she would be leaving soon. The jackal gave her a snarl before leaving to head to the door. She turned around and bared her teeth.

Sepirah paused when she heard the female’s voice and folded her ears down in annoyance. Considering she said that the dark princess was no daughter of Samael, so that must have met this female had the same father. She snorted and tensed up her body. ”I may not be what father had wanted in a daughter, but at least I have more discipline and manners, which I’m sure this pack wants more. They don’t want a rude bitch running around.” She turned back to the door and began to head out. She paused one last moment, but kept her head turned back. ”Some sister you turned out to be” With that, the jackal walked out of the room and back into the foyer.

Sepirah was done and right now she just wanted to go back home and curl up in her den. She’d rather be near her grandmother than with her half sister. It probably would have been better if she never came back here again. The dark princess walked back out into the cold of the night and raced back home, unsure if the female would follow her or not. She was not afraid of her. If it all came down to it, the jackal would prove that she could be just as nasty as her half sister could. She strolled along, but cautiously just in case.

She enjoyed seeing the other cast off the careless attitude, giving into anger as well. But, duh, what could the stupid bitch expect; treating a higher ranked member in such a way. Manners and discipline? As the dark furred woman tried to speak up for herself, Halo couldn’t do anything but to come up with a mocking grin. Discipline and manners? Really?” the copper woman laughed, knowing things to be different. She wouldn’t be one of the highest ranked in the clan in that case, and that was all that mattered to the ruby eyed Inferni princess. Sepirah was simply a pawn, and so her view meant very little.

When the woman turned around to pace out of the building, Halo allowed her, turning away from the half-sibling that she decided unworthy of her time. The Hydra wondered what Samael had wanted in a daughter. It many ways, it was an internal struggle to allow her thoughts to linger with Samael Lykoi for a longer period of time. The first time they had met, he had thought she seemed promising. Many things had happened after that, but she firmly believed that she could still become what her biological father had wanted her to be. Sepirah did not even seem to know that Inferni was a clan and not a pack. Wolves and packs? That little traitor did not belong here.
