@drugrushâ liked for a starter!!
tracy found herself following felix more than once,  and she always kept herself out of sight  ââ  kept distance between them.  he'd never brought it up in conversation before,  so she guessed he'd never caught her.  NOT YET.  was she wrong to think he might fall into a bad situation and need help?  she wasn't sure where the anxiety stemmed from or why she cared,  but she did.  perhaps it was who he was,  someone she knew had a habit of getting into trouble.  or maybe it was some part of WHAT she was.  a kanima who craved a connection,  a werewolf who needed a pack.  she'd chosen him.
        her suspicions were proven correct when felix was suddenly surrounded by shady-looking men.  one man held a gun in his hands,  yellow slitted eyes paying close attention.  she wouldn't make herself known until she knew the time was right.  they were all human ââ  including felix,  and he was left in the dark entirely when it came to her species.  she was dangerous,  a blood-thirsty monster,  and she preferred to keep it to herself when it came to him,  unless exposing it was necessary.  at this moment,  she knew how it would end.  it would be necessary.
        it wasn't long before their âtalk' had become violence,  and felix was on the ground,  steel-toed feet stomping against his ribs,  his stomach ââ  even his head.  tracy could feel the anger building,  burning like an uncontrollable fire within her chest.  it'd already gone too far.  when that same man with the gun raised it,  a ferocious snarl roared out from between bared fangs.  of course,  it caught their attention.  all eyes on the trees.  she emerged with supernatural speed,  claws and tail swinging through the air,  causing tears and rips in their clothing and skin.
        every man had dropped to the ground around felix,  almost like some sort of ritual,  eyes blown wide with terror,  and it was likely upon the realization that they couldnât move.  another roar of aggression,  slitted eyes scanning each man quickly before glancing at felix.  she knew he was horrified;  she could feel it.  she wouldn't let anyone hurt him again,  which was a promise.
        these men weren't getting away with it.  not one of them would live on to be considered a witness.  tracy would never be so stupid.  (except she'd left felix alive before,  and she would again.  )  they had all been injected with paralytic venom,  and she relished in the look of dread in their eyes just for a moment.  they were so scared,  and she was feeding off of it;  they knew what was coming,  and they'd deeply  REGRET their decision.
        then it was enough.  these men's fears would become a reality,  and tracy was pleased hers would be the last face they ever saw before they took their last breaths.  it began,  claws slashing through flesh,  ribs CRACKING under the force of each swipe,  blood spraying through the air,  hitting nearby cars and coating the pavement.  she didn't let up until their intestines were splayed free beside them.  her clothes were drenched in crimson,  her hair was caked with chunks and blood,  and felix was likely traumatized.
        once she could no longer hear their hearts beating,  she headed towards felix,  and a bloodied hand reached down to grip his wrist,  tugging him up from the ground.  â  i wonât let anything happen to you,  ever again.  â  DEJA VU.
     Getting into fights, especially in the part of the city where Felix lived, wasnât an uncommon occurrence. He had scars on his knuckles from years of getting into fist fights with people, and in some cases, knives or guns would even be pulled on people to give them the upper hand. Itâd been some time since heâd been jumped, Felix having a fair bit of street smarts and knowing what areas to avoid walking alone, but heâd had the misfortune of being followed and cornered by a group of men. Outnumbered, he knew that this situation could play out one of two ways: Either heâd be left severely injured, or theyâd just kill him and heâd turn up as another nobody in the newspaper that would be forgotten about by the next day. The best option he had was to hold his tongue and do what he could to cooperate with them, but even that hadnât been good enough for them.
     It wasnât long before Felix found himself on the ground, struggling to block their movements as they began to relentlessly lay into him. Every time he tried to get up, another firm kick to his ribs would have him succumbing to the pain, his hands doing little to shield himself from the blunt force of their steel-toed boots. The panic really began to build when they went on to target his head as well, stomping against his skull and even his fingers when he tried to lessen the impact. His face was uncomfortably scraping against the pavement below him, body aching and protesting against his motions. This was it, he thought. The gun had finally been aimed at him, and there was no way for him to avoid it. Dying young had always been in the cards. He knew that much, but this? This wasnât how he wanted to go outâand as if heâd pathetically beg for his life to men who would just laugh and mock him for it. Fuck that.
     Staring down the barrel of the gun, heâd been fully expecting for the trigger to be pulled when, instead, a loud snarling had grabbed their attentionâeven his own. He hardly had time to figure out what kind of dangerous animal was lurking nearby that had made that kind of unsettling noise, for someone or something had just appeared in the span of half a second. His eyes were wide while watching the scene play out in front of him, something bloodier and more graphic than any gory movie heâd ever seen before. Flesh, blood guts and sinew was everywhere, painting the walls, pavement, cars and whatever else happened to be nearby, and it was all due to a set of claws viciously tearing the men apart. If he didnât end up dying tonight, it would be a memory that would surely follow him to his dreams.
     Even if he wanted to make a run for it, the bruising and aching all over his body wouldnât allow him to get anywhere fast, so instead Felix remained frozen in place. Had just just died and gone to hell, which he knew would be a rightful place for him, and witnessed a literal demon? He couldnât make sense of it, but whatever this thing was, she was downright terrifying and menacing. He was the last to be approached by her and could feel his heart beginning to hammer in his chest, eyes observing the chunks of blood and torn flesh that covered her from head to toe. Rather than tearing into him next, however, her actions had been gentle in comparison. A hand, slick with crimson, had pulled him up to his feet despite the groan that fell from between his lips in objection to the movements. Even her words had been kind, albeit unnerving. Why? Why did she care whether he lived or died?
     â What the fuck are you? Keep your distance, â Felix snapped, harshly pulling his hand away from her grasp and taking a few steps back until he was met with the chain link fence, which he hooked his fingers into to aid him with standing. Sure, sheâd saved him from certain death and maybe he shouldâve been thanking her, but like hell he was going to trust a thing that just ripped a bunch of men to shreds. â Theyâre allâyou justââ he couldnât even find the words to describe what had just happened. â Holy fuck. â
