Wolf among Sheep

Huginn led You in... and people sure as Hell noticed, You seemed to draw a lot of attention, the Amused Cries seemed to die down, replaced by furtive whispers "Look who it is, Huie brought the New Blood!" The man that was speaking was one that You had seen before... yes, You had seen him the other night when You escaped the Breaking Chamber, He was a man of medium height, an angular gaunt face, He had a lot of tattoos on his thin arms, Occult by the looks of them "I did indeed," Huginn cried so that all could hear "Mr. Drake here had agreed to a couple of matches" Okay, that certainly coveted some interest as the entire room erupted into gossip.

That is when eyes began to flicker to the corner of the Hall.

Sat there in a Green tank top was the large form of Hawkins, in front of him lay a stack of what You realized were small plastic bags of blood, He looked at You with Hard eyes, like a fly had buzzed into his room or something.

He sighed, standing from his chair, christ He was big, tall and Muscled, He rubbed his stubbled face, running his index finger down his Soul-patch, with a thunderous speed He appeared in front of You, looking down at You like an Ant from under his Heavy Grey brows... You weren't gonna lie, this guy was scary "Hawkins, I have a new Gladiator for You." Huginn said with a smile, How was he so friendly with this guy, this guy was Gregor Clegane big, his face hard as stone and fixed with a cold uncaring visage.

"No." He spoke, his voice deep and Hard, his accent... He had that same accent as Rose and Valerica... but his was darker, stronger "Oh come on Hawkin's don't tell me that You aren't curious?" Huginn spoke, the Man with the Black mohawk interjected: "Lord Corvus is funny enough about these fights as it is, Jester." He looked at You with cold eyes "He doesn't look all that impressive anyhow."

Hawkins grunted, turning to walk back to his table when Huginn gave a sinister grin, "Ai devenit atât de laș, în timpul tău?" He sounded different, Huginn... his tone was stabbing, insulting, his accent the same Romanian as Hawkin's.

You did not know what He said but it certainly caught the big guy's attention, He turned his head, a monstrous smile on his usually cold face "Very well." He spoke, "Five Pints," He turned to the both of You "My prize when Your man fails to counter My Umbra." He gestured to the Mohawked man, Umbra did he say?

"This is the One that caught Your sister's eye. Huie, I expected more," I spoke Umbra with a cocky smile.

"And what if Charlie here, Best's Mr. Toilet brush over there?" Umbra scowled, but Hawkins smiled "He has dined already today... so, perhaps? O noapte cu dragostea mea?" Darkness overcame the room as Hawkins hissed gleefully, outside... You could hear, wolves, Howling?

"I'm sure He would like that." Huginn nodded "Alright then It's settle, Game on Meat-Head." The Vampires around You stirred, all excited for what was to come.

Huginn pulled You aside, Umbra was smiling at You darkly as voices hissed in the air and Wolves howled from the outside "Alright then mate, the rules are simple, Beat up that Cunt until He gives up... or You give up, oh yes, by the way, don't give up."

"Hold on wait, why, what..." Huginn interrupted You with a few firms slaps to Your shoulder, "Good luck New-Blood."

Suddenly You were left alone, in the middle of the Hall as the Vampire's gathered around You forming an arena, where Umbra stood smiling "I am going to enjoy breaking You in New-Blood!" Umbra's body began to shift, his face twisting and his claws lengthening, and before You could say a word in protest, He rushed at You.

The attack was brutal, He swung and clawed, his jaws gnashing You only just managed to escape each attack, He was Fast, damn fast and strong at that, You could feel the weight of his blows even though none had yet hit You.

The Vampires around You cheered, all watching as Umbra chased You with his monstrous barrage. From the corner of your eye, You spotted a familiar face, Muninn? You thought. She watched eagerly, stroking Her long blonde hair with anticipation as Umbra continued his ****, Her presence threw You off some, nearly catching a couple of clawed swipes as Your eyes met hers "What's the matter Lover-Boy, Afraid to lose in front of Your little crush."

"I'm gonna rock Your world, Lover-boy..." The words resonated inside of You, an echo of hatred, whatever had bound the hesitation in You... had been broken tenfold.

You caught his arm, effortlessly, lifting him by it and sweeping his legs from under him, Umbra gasped as his form flew sideways only to be met with a kick so hard that it sent him flying.

He flipped twice, managing to stabilize himself, landing hard on his feet, his claws grazing the ground as he slowed.

Everyone looked on it shock as Your Face twisted, eyes filling with crimson claws extending; Fangs In view as You roared, Huginn smiled, Umbra clutched his abdomen as he winced "What the fuck..."

"Don't just stand there, Fucking Brawl!" Huginn shouted, setting off the crowd's monstrous cries of encouragement. Umbra hissed his eyes burning as He flew at You again, this time it was different, You could not see every move he was going to make, but You could feel them, every fiber of his muscles: predictable.

He swiped and jabbed, all brushed away with Your powerful hands, You saw it, the pattern, _Right, right, left, right, left, left... _The sequence, it was like a video game, like a boss that You had fought a thousand times, You waited for his heavy Right swing, it came... You swallowed the blow between Your arms and with absolute ease, You spun, lifting his small form into the air and smashing him into the floorboards.

Stretching again, You reached down, clutching at his throat with Your claws, You lifted him with a single-arm, snarling at him with wide eyes "Submit." You growled Black blood dripped from his nose and mouth, Malice on his face as He struggled to loosen Your grip.

You pulled him closer, Looking into his eyes and Roaring so loud that everyone covered their ears "Submit!" Umbra raised his hand as He began to become pale as Ice "I... S,S,S... Shub.... met...." With one more harsh snarl, You cast the weakling aside.

All were silent in the Hall, shocked faces looked on at You, all were astounded save for two, Huginn with delight and Hawkins with a shadowy Grin.

"Superior" A few voices whispered "Nosferatu," Hawkins spoke as He stood from his seat.

"I believe that the day is ours?" Huginn said as he approached, Hawkins pushed the smaller man aside to study You with his eyes, it was strange... How could You be threatened by this guy, He was so weak compared to You, You could feel it in Your bones, they were all so much less powerful... No, No that wasn't You, That was the beast inside, Go back to sleep now Beast, Go back to sleep.

Hawkins began to bellow with laughter "Remarkable, You have resumed control so easily, Remarkable."

You felt slender hands wrap around Your arm, You looked to Your side to see Muninn, looking to You as a woman on a mission "Come on, Let's go."

"Little Crow..." Hawkins spoke, Muninn scowled "Enough Hawkins, You and Huie had Your fun." He bowed silently, turning to You one last time "I owe a debt to You, Nosferat, Visit me when You wish it paid." You merely nodded awkwardly to the Large Vampire, finally being dragged away by an irritated Muninn, Growling at Her brother as You both passed him "See You soon, Tough guy."
