Adrian curled up into a ball in the corner of the square, he had been drifting in an out of consciousness for ages as he drifted back in he saw the men with blades. They were advancing on him obviously rogues, normally he would easily be able to kill them but in this situation he was helpless. He had lost the control of his muscles and he was drifting in and out of consciousness to rapidly to transform, not that he would want to transform anyway. He sighed as he waited for them to hurry up and kill him, he had killed many rogues before and he had tortured many more thanks to his beast side, it was only justice for them to kill him...

Suddenly a bandit at the back of the mob screamed and fell, blood pouring out of his neck. As the remaining bandits turned to the corpse, a russet-coloured wolf leapt over them, landing between them and Adrian. The wolf crouched down and shivered, until there was a tall woman standing in it's place, blood around her mouth from when she had torn the bandit's throat out seconds before. She drew her ornate blade, Nightfang, glancing back at Adrian for a second before turning to face the bandits once more and smiling. "If you had any sense, you would run. But being who you are, I'm guessing you think with your balls, if you think at all." Lycara smirked, getting into a guard position.

Adrian fell out of consciousness again, he just managed to see Lycara in front of him. He smiled as he heard her then everything went black, moments later he woke up again he muttered, "Hi" as he saw Lycara infront of him standing facing away with her Nightfang out facing a bandit. He knew if she was hurt then the beast would come out and there would be no stopping it.

The bandit smiled, "You a woman, stop us?" he sneered and he lashed at her with his blade, he was just angry, he had came for an easy kill for some money and none of his men should of died, especially not to this woman.

"You shouldn't have run off." Lycara told Adrian, but her tone was light. After all there was little that a bunch of bandits could do to her, if anything. As one of the bandits approached her, Lycara grinned. "Underestimating me? Big mistake." Lycara caught the bandit's clumsy sword blow near Nightfang's hilt, before reversing the blade and thrusting it up the man's brain. Lycara pulled her blade out as the man sank to the floor and glanced back at the other bandits, looking almost bored. "Is that all you guys have? I've seen insects with more skill." She mocked them, wiping Nightfang on the dead bandit's clothes.

The three bandits all turned and looked at eachother, there leader had just been killed. They sprinted down the streets, hoping the woman wouldn't chase after them..

Behind Lycara Adrian was sick again all over the floor, the bone in his arm snapped in on itself, breaking the bone clean in two, Adrian shouted in pain, he still couldn't move anything. He had one long canine tooth and human looking canine tooth, it would be hilarious if not for the growl on his face, one arm was long and had massive muscles pounding out of it while the other was a normal human arm, with fur on it. He ran after the bandits, renewed strength, he couldn't control himself, he just ran after them in a blood thirst. The bandits screamed as they heard someone chase them but they turned around and faced him off when they saw he wasn't Lycara. He brought his huge arm down on top of one, breaking his neck snapped his backbone as he fell to the floor. Adrian bit the other in the neck and started taking his blood, it was warm and lovely down his throat. He was occupied with feeding though and the other bandit hacked his sword into Adrian's huge arm, it was ripped off but there was no blood flowing from it. He picked up the other bandit chucking him into the wall and fell down to the floor. The blood had made him stronger now and the stump where his big arm was started shifting where it was there was a normal human arm and he fell asleep curled up into a little ball like a baby.

Lycara ran after Adrian down the street, catching up to him in seconds. Exhausted, Adrian had collapsed, leaving Lycara to clean things up. She was not hungry after the night's hunt, so she drew Nightfang, stabbing it into the corpse in the middle. "Awaken" Lycara intoned, and Nightfang burst into black flames which swiftly consumed the corpses. Scarcely a minute later and the bodies were nothing but ashes on the wind. Satisfied, Lycara sheathed her blade, before picking Adrian up and carrying him back towards their apartment.

Adrian woke up, he was full of strength from drinking, "You can put me down, i am fine now." He wanted her to put him down to let him walk. He did not remember anything that happened but he knew that whenever he had a mental blank it was because he had lost control. He had got used to having mental blanks, "What did I do this time?" His left arm hurt, alot.

"You ran off, the got cornered by some bandits. As usual I hauled your ass out of the grinder, until you transformed and took the last three. That's about it really." Lycara let Adrian down, since he insisted on walking. "So all in all, just another night out." Lycara grinned.

Adrian shivered, he had probably been close to transforming into the werepyre, he remembered the first time he had transformed, he killed eight bandits, sending one through a wall, he had came close to killing Lycara too. He stumbled forward as he was first put onto the ground, but caught himself on the wall and levelled himself back up. He started walking back to the apartment, "I won't run away again.."

"If you do, I'll just have to drag you home again." Lycara chuckled. She could understand what had made him run off, after all he may not be a hundred percent werewolf now, but some traits, like the love of open spaces, were ones that stayed with you your entire life. Lycara turned her head curiously as a passing shadow, but found only a tawny brown cat staring back at her. Lycara turned her gaze back to Adrian, who had now taken the lead. "You look a lot better after a drink." Lycara observed, wondering if blood strengthened him as much as it did a full vampire.

"Yeah it does help, alot" He didn't want to admit it but it had and there was no point lieing to Lycara when it was probably obvious. He had another voice inside his head lately, it was the vampire. He could hear it as a chilling voice speaking inside his head, it told him what to do, even helped him in situations. Sometimes it was evil though and made him drink blood or tried to gain control and make him transform although he could not stop this.

"Still thisty?" Lycara asked, glancing up at the almost full moon again. It was a good night, perfect for a little run through the Wastes, but first she had to see what Adrian thought of it. Going alone was never as much fun as when they ran together after all.

"I am kinda..." Adrian trailed off, he felt really energetic, like he could run for miles without stopping atall. He frowned, "Why what do you have on mind?" He felt full but also felt like he could drink more, it was a strange feeling. He frowned, how could he want more after that...

"Not much planned, just a quick hunting trip in the Wastes if you're interested. It's a good night for a run, don't you think?" Lycara asked, her grin returning. She shifted into her wolf form, and faced Adrian. "Coming?" Lycara asked through their telepathic link, the most convenient way to talk in their transformed states.

"Sure, but you know I can't transform..." He couldn't transform, it wasn't a wolf what he became it was an abomination, a mixture of the two. He looked into the sky, it was getting dark. Like Lycara had said it was a perfect night for a run. It would ware off some of his energy aswell. He started jogging he knew that Lycara would easily be able to keep up since she was in her wolf form and she was incredible fast compared to him...

"Don't worry, I'll keep pace." Lycara replied mentally, before a short burst of speed brought her level with Adrian, who had recieved a few moments head start. "So, what or who do you want to hunt tonight?" She felt like a couple bandits herself, and knew quite a few choice locations where camps had sprung up. Mentally Lycara sighed. The city watch were indeed hopeless to allow such foolish men to thrive.

"I dont mind really." He thought and remembered her favourites, "Bandits if you want." He knew that the bandits weren't much sport though but if they were left to roam they would kill innocents. Then again thinking along that lines he should be killed himself, he had killed many innocents. Oh thats bad, isn't it?! The jester sneered. Adrian frowned, "Shut up" He said he hoped that since he had his link up with lycara that she wouldn't hear the Jester. The Jester was the soul that accompanied his brother, it hated Adrian and loved his brother.

"Alright" Lycara said, though as she did so, something jolted her with a burst of energy. She stopped, returning to her human form to find Nightfang in her hand, burning with barely contained power. Black flames flickered along it's edges, and Lycara turned to face Adrian. "Nightfang is reacting to something. Any idea what it is?"

OOh I am here little boy! Adrian stopped in shock he turned to Lycara, "Leave!" He pushed her away with a bit to much strength and he turned around watching the darkness. He saw the flare shoot up into the sky and new his brother was there. Adrian started shivering as he saw his brother come out of the darkness his hands were on fire and his eyes were now blue and red. "What happened to you brother?" Adrian asked as he backed off from his brother, Raken. "I have found you atlast, the Jester doesn't want you to die now for he wants to do it later when HE is in control!" Raken shot some flames at Adrian. Adrian narrowly dodged them and burnt some of the hairs off of his head. Adrian shivered and his bones started snapping. The screaming could be heard and where Adrian was standing now was a huge wolf abomination, there was no skin just raw muscle and it only had two teeth, two huge canines. Raken's eyes went wide as he saw the beast, he sent more flames towards it and fled. Adrian did not chase him, he just lay down and waited.

"He's your brother? Strange family." Lycara mused, though she was obviously concealing a grin. Nightfang was still in her hand, glowing with black flames. Lycara could feel it's power flowing into her power to greater levels than possible for even a Lycan under other circumstances. "What's the story between the two of you?" Lycara finished through their telepathic link, Nightfang still held out to warn them should Raken return.

Adrian transformed human, his first time ever at will. "First take the flame off. Second he burnt down our house and the family kicked us out, he learnt the path of fire and hunted is all down 1 by 1, I ran from him and became a Lycan, he chased me and was possessed by the Jester." Adrian shivered, the Jester was not to be reckoned with.

Lycara focussed on her blade, the flames now spreading, covering her arm like a cloak. "Sleep" She soothed, and the flames dissipated, the power sustaining it drawing back into Nightfang. "Interesting. And who is the Jester? Funny name for a Daemon, if that's what it is."

"He is a daemonhost no larvae. No body knows his true name, he calls himself that and we follow. His voice is hard not to obey. He can control people even threw death by whispering in there ears. I must get him out of my brother. But if he does come out he will be even more powerful." Daemonhost were hard to kill, one of the most powerful things in the nether, he had only ever encountered the jester and he had no idea how to kill it.

"Interesting. I'll lend a hand when it comes to killing the Jester, of course. He was quite fun to duel last time. So how long ago did all of this happen? The possession, and why did it choose your brother?" Lycara shifted back into her wolf form. "Still up for some hunting?"

"No hunting and when did you duel him? It chose my brother because he was easier to control he fueled his hatred. Even if you did duel him he wasn't released then. That was just him in Raken's body. Fully released he would be even more powerful. No lets not hunt, go back to the apartment, be safe for the night." He started walking towards the apartment. He wouldn't let her go hunting with Raken around.

"I dueled him a while ago, when he first came to Nether." Lycara stared up at the moon, and considered slipping away, before sighing. No need to worry Adrian unnecessarily, lest he do something stupid. "Alright" Lycara replied, still through their mental link, and headed off in the direction of the apartment.

Adrian smiled, he knew she would come with him. He started testing his psychic powers again, shooting stones high into the air and using his mind to catch them again. He was bored though. He opened the door to the apartment and held it open for Lycara to enter then he shut it and locked it.

Lycara nodded, entering the apartment as Adrian closed the door behind her. She sat herself down on the couch and watched him practice his telekenesis for a while, before drawing Nightfang. She examined it, checking for any damage, and found none as usual. Nightfang never seemed to be damaged in any way, no matter what it went through. Must be part of the enchantment, Lycara thought. She placed her thumb against the blade edge, drawing it across to leave a line of blood from blade tip to hilt. "Awaken" she intoned, and black flames emerged once again, only this time there was only a little, and instead of reaching outwards the flames consumed the blood before vanishing again.

He sat down bored, he was thirsty already. He sat next to Lycara on the couch and frowned when she fed the sword her blood. He didn't like her doing this, it made him thirsty to see the blood and the sword was like a inanimate vampire in its self. He flicked the TV on and like usual there was nothing good on. This would be another night where the vampire genes were winning since he had drank blood, that meens he wouldn't need to go to sleep. He sighed and rested his head back, a long night ahead of him.

Lycara smiled as she felt Nightfang hum it's approval for the blood. It was a simple relationship really. Lycara would give Nightfang blood regularly, and in return Nightfang's power was her's to command. She sheathed the blade again, and turned over to look at Adrian. She had been out hunting the previous night, but now she hungered for something other than meat. Slowly stripping off her clothes so that Adrian would notice, she slid closer to him. " You look bored. Want to have some fun tonight?" She asked seductively. A wolf could not purr, but she came pretty close.

"You know I do." He said smiling as he kissed her roughly. He woould have to keep his mind on track though so he didn't... Loose control. He laughed as she sounded like she was purring, "you ARE a cat not a wolf." He said inbetween kissing her on the throat, slowly moving down her body.

"I might be half-cat." Lycara said, before moaning as Adrian reached her breasts, before continuing further down. Lycara grinned, she had missed this, even though it had only been one night gone without it. She gasped and moaned again as Adrian's tounge reached his destination. Noticing the lack of space on the couch however, Lycara got up. "How about we go to bed, it's a lot easier there."

He had noticed the lack of room to so he picked her up, still kissing her and took her to the bed.

(OOC: sorry really short but Blader put x in title or skip..)

OOC: I can't add an x (not being a mod), so a time-skip it is :P

Lycara woke up to find herself in Adrian's embrace, his vampire genes meaning that he was wide awake, having required no sleep the previous night. Lycara smiled at him. "That was a fun night. So, how long have I been out?" Lycara could see sunlight, so she guessed it had been quite some time.

He hated not sleeping, it felt wierd. "8 or 9 hours, I haven't got up to check." He kissed her as he got up to check "Oh, about 10 hours" he laughed, he hadn't got any sleep atall and it was like she was sleeping double to make up for it.

"Quite some time indeed. But I've been very comfortable. " Lycara replied, getting up and kissing Adrian hungrily. After they pulled apart for air, Lycara decided she wanted to go for a walk, after all she had not gotten to hunt the previous night, as good as the alternative had been, but now she wanted a little fresh air. "You coming?" Lycara asked, knowing Adrian heard the rest telepathically.

"err, ok then." He decided he would go to keep an eye on her making sure that his brother would not come back. He knew his brother wouldn't come back till night time though. He quickly got dressed and pull a belt over his trousers with his weapons on it.

Lycara grinned as she felt Nightfang act up again. "Blood" it seemed to whisper to her. "Where do you want to go?" Adrian preferred to lead them around when they left the apartment during the day, after all.

OOC: Sorry for short. Playing FUMBBL.

"err the wastes?" he knew it was her favourite place and she would agree so he led on to the city gates. He wouldn't suck blood for he wanted to sleep that night so he would have to be very careful that night.

"Sure!" As they reached the gates, Lycara checked the sky. It was soon approaching sunset, and then the fun would really begin. Only one question though. "Should I hunt as a human or a wolf?" She asked herself mentally, though she knew Adrian could hear her. On one hand, Nightfang was quite thirsty, but on the other hand she wanted to feel the wind on her fur as she hunted.
