A Little Fright Never Hurt Anyone [OPEN]

[Deleted]

She had woken up early just like she did every morning. The sun was barely up but she wasn't tired. So she climbed out of bed and threw on a the first outfit she grabbed. Tight black pants with a matching tight black top, finished off with black leather boots. After dressing she left her room and made her way through the castle. There was something stirring inside of her that was making her feel on edge and restless. So she decided she would go out and maybe go for a walk. She hoped that it would clear her head and put her a bit at ease. The minute she stepped out into the new morning air she felt a tight pull in her stomach. The dark creature hiding within her being was tugging to break free. It had been a few days since she had gotten to come out and play, she was getting anxious. Angelique began to walk down the trail, feeling her pulse quickening the farther she went. The more she walked through the forest, the more she felt that tug within her stomach. It just got tighter and tighter with each fall of her foot.

The darkness was crawling up her body, sliding like velvet unde her skin. The soft grey of her eyes grew darker the farther she got into the forest. The last time she had been out was probably three days now. Three days without a fight or a true hunt was a long time for her. She was an evil creature who reveled in the misery of humans. She enjoyed going out and scaring the crap out of humans, hearing them scream, seeing them in pain. Their fear seemed to calm her beast, to make her feel at ease.

Her muscles tightened as she walked around a corner and smack into a tall man. She stumbled backwards a bit, but luckily stayed on her feet. Her dark eyes narrowed on the man as he stood and glared down at her. Watch where your going bitch, the words came from his mouth and her lips curled into a devilish grin. "Oh darling you have no idea how much of a bitch I am" she said, her voice a soft purr. She placed her hands on the muscular chest of the man, pushing him backwards into an alley. The stranger was caught off guard by the push and tumbled into the alley onto his rear. Angelique grinned darkly as she glared down at the man, sauntering into the alley towards him. The look on his face was one of complete shock as he watched her come forward, his look quickly changing to one of obvious lust as she got closer. She knelt down in front of him and gently touched his cheek, making him believe that this was all a game. The minute he leaned forward however, she slammed her head into his making him fall backwards. He let out a yowl of pain but she didn't give him time to do more. Her fist slammed into the side of his face hard, and then the other. The darkness was purring with joy inside of her body, cherishing every hit she made to the innocent man's face. "You need to learn some respect" she growled happily, slamming another fist into him. She got to her feet and then kicked the man in his side.

She knelt beside the man's crumbled body as he writhed in pain, moaning and crying. "Now who's the bitch" she whispered into his ear and then she licked his cheek. The man let out a whimper of fear and flinched at her touch. Angelique merely smirked down at him as he lay curled in on himself. She gave him one last dark look before getting to her feet. "Have a nice day" she said with a grin before walking out into the village once more. Her body was radiating with her excitement as she sauntered through the human village. It was a beautiful day, and so far things were going great.

Asher started her day like any other, by waking up to her mortal enemy the sun. Its golden rays streamed in through the cracks in her walls every morning. Not that it was her only adversary attempting to wake her up. Nope that would be too simple; the crows were in on it too. It was a conspiracy if she ever saw one; the universe would never let her sleep for more then four hours at a time. Most of her activity revolved around the night's shadowy embrace, well most of her work activity. Still she didn't feel like getting up and throwing a black blanket over the wall, or growling to scare the crows away. It was better that she gets up and move around, she needed to exercise. Last night she let her panther get the better of her, and had devoured a deer. It was a fairly decent sized one too, though she thankfully hadn't over gorged herself and had left plenty of remains behind. Lately she had been deferring to more of a healthy diet. The kind where fruits, vegetables and nuts are pretty much the only thing on the menu. She guessed her cat minded the fact that she wanted to lose a few pounds and rebelled, hence the deer. Not that she really needed to lose the weight, she just needed to stay toned and in shape for her lifestyle, which consisted of robbing people, since she was a thief.

Asher was lying on her belly still in her cat form on the mattress. The sheets would likely be covered in her fur, making the nice white linen she had stolen, into more of a blackish grey in tint. She was going through that annoying shedding phase since it was getting hotter out. Lifting her head to scan the bed confirmed her theory. Untucking her front limbs from beneath her body, and unsheathing her claws from the confines of her padded feet, she stretched. Her back hitched high into the air to complete her morning routine, and she jumped to the floor. Not surprisingly she was still full from the previous night, so she walked across the tan carpeted floor and out her window. Her living space was two stories up, and was only about a foot away from the next house, which was a one story building. Landing silently on the roof, she took in a run of what was becoming her normal path over the town. It bothered her in a way that she was starting to become habitual. As a thief that could be dangerous for her, but then again she had recently landed enough funds to secure herself for a while without having to steal to live. She had to admit that it was a nice change, not to have to worry about planning the next job. Her contacts were leaving her alone, as per her agreement with them, and she was taking a much deserved break from it all.

While leaping from one roof to the next, she happened to glance down and her eyes opened wide in amusement at the sight below her. Once she landed she turned around and crouched so low on the roof over looking the scene that she was almost laying down. Below her, a woman was straddling a man's chest, and she was kicking the crap out of him. A sense of female pride made her want to cheer her on, however she did acknowledge that what the woman was doing now was overkill. The man was beaten and broken, surely what ever he had done, was atoned for. By the look of his face, he would be feeling her onslaught for weeks. Finally the lady stood back and after mocking the man, left to wander about else where. Asher surveyed the wounds, and felt bad for him, but for all she knew he may have deserved it. Either way she needed to follow the female, and make sure she wasn't intentionally hurting these people. The last thing she needed was over lords of the town looking into things that would mean she would have to pack up and move. Growling in irritation, she turned and made to follow her, staying to the tops of the buildings. Maybe she would scare her with her beast, and that would prevent her from venturing out for a while. At least until she could finish her vacation.
