[I]I smell them. The blood. The flesh. Rip. Tear.
No. I must take it back. My orders.

But the flesh. The blood. I need it. I crave it. Food, good.
No. Orders.

I fall from a high place of concrete and steel, words I have been taught. Images flash through my mind. Odd black snakes snap around me, crackling and jolting. Like the rod...

I roar in anger. The pain does not last. The anger does. Wood stick, big, holds the snakes at bay, my tail pushing it down. The snakes fall.

There are screams. Prey. I begin to chase....
No. Difficult no. I can smell the fear. I lick my lips and release my wings.

But wait... That smell. It's him. The old one. And...a new one.

I take off, running across black rock and yellow rock and white rock into grass. Cool against my feet.

Ahead, him and the other. I grin. I can eat the other. Him must survive. But can break. I lash out with my wings, sharp scales flying from them. Most miss. Few hit wood brown object. 

I growl, angry. My eyes narrow as I extend my tail, preparing for the next assault. [/I]

Alice frowned at the woman leaving. Had she been too aloof? She hadn't meant to offend the lady, but now it was too late to make amends, with the woman out the door already.

She sighed. Next time she'd approach the woman differently. She'd run into her eventually.

She looked back at the young girl thoughtfully. [Color=00aeef]"Yknow, I could teach you how to properly fight. Like, more than just getting into a brawl. Though I'd really prefer to get you away from all that violence, but that's not something I'll push,"[/color] Alice said quietly. [Color=00aeef]"But feel free to come back in and talk and relax, so long as you aren't dripping blood all over the place. That's bad for business, eh?"[/color]
