Having been knocked off of his feet by the wolf wasn’t the most pleasant feeling in the world, the ground was hard. If he was human he would likely have the air knocked out of him, from the sheer force of his speed meeting the ground underneath him. Devin let out a soft groan laying on the ground for what seemed like a moment for him, though it might have been longer than that. Hearing the wolf growl at him again he quickly got up, glaring at it. The aggressiveness of the growl might not have been as clear as before, but in this state he was sure it was a trick. 

He wasn’t fighting because of want, he was protecting himself. She had been the one to attack first, she had been the one to go for the throat first. Devin had already died once sure it was too bad living after dying, but that didn’t mean he wanted to be killed twice. He would have to kill the wolf to need himself alive, he had come let his new found source of amusement that he didn’t kill one of her clan. Now it seemed he would be focused to.

Were all wolves stupid enough to close their eyes in front of him? Was it some sort of species thing? When the wolf opened her blue eyes, his mind started to snap to attention, realizing who it really was he was fighting. The woman bowed her head as if giving up so he could kill her. Why? Why did she have to do that?! 

She was making herself easy prey to a hungry vampire, only he didn’t want to kill her, a much stronger want of not killing her. His mind was slower in its state of pure and quiet calmness than his body. Quickly he closed the gap between them, hand going to her throat and roughly pushing her head out of the way to get her neck. At least this way she would only feel the pain for a few moments before feeling bliss as he drained her. 

No stop it…he screamed loudly in his mind as his head lowered to her neck, his hand loosening on her throat slightly. He had better control of himself, he hadn't killed a woman in over three hundred years, and he would be damned if his was going to kill this woman you he actually enjoyed being around. Inhaling deeply to control himself, his hand loosened on her neck until it just sat there. [b]“Should I consider it a pleasure to fight you lass? Or be annoyed you attacked me?”[/b] He whispered in her ear before pulling away from her completely, he winced as his fangs retracted going back to normal human teeth. [b]“I wouldn’t kill one of your clan lass, let alone a changeling!”[/b] He said angrily as he sat down a little ways in front of her, his eyes slowly faded back from black to dark gray, the emotion returning back to his voice.
