Who are you? - Tatia

As she slit the hunter's throat, Vincent gulped a bit scared. He knew now that this shapeshifter wasn't exactly the forgive and forget type of girl. At least he knew to be wary of that now. He kneeled down to the dead corpse and opened their pockets to pull out a bag of something seemingly sharp. He opened it to just clench his teeth in anger by the sight. "Son's of bitches were collecting their teeth." he pointed out before closing the bag. Then he attached it to his belt, he knew exactly what to do with them.

When she implied that he was going to sell them, an annoyed frown ran across his face. He shook his head and turned to look at her. "Do you think so lowly of me?" he remarked as he glanced down at the pouch. "No. I am going to burn them. That way, they'll go to wolf-heaven and reunite with their rightful owners. At least that's what people believe they'll do." he then said. Something caught his attention in the corner of his eye, making him walk towards it. Branches and nature was covering most of it, but it was bloody and made him shiver in disgust. "Keep the pup." he simply said, in a rather dark and disgusted tone, to sum up the sight.

"Well I guess you have your reasons for that." he then said, completely forgetting that he might had been judging her beforehand as well. He was too busy looking at the carcass to notice her sudden change in behaviour. It wasn't till she growled that he looked back at her. He grabbed his bow and prepared an arrow, before he stepped away from the dead wolf. He followed her carefully and clenched his teeth at the hunters. He put down the bow before grabbing her shoulder, stepping in front of her. "Just leave the wolf and get out of here." he said as he noticed that they were both very young. He turned his glance to the girl as he shook his head. "Don't. They're just kids." he then said, not as a warning, but hoping it would stop her from tearing them apart.

He squeezed her shoulder by her words. "Listen to yourself1 You're not making sense! They were born into these woods, just like you and I. Let. them. go." he warned her. He didn't know how well she coped with keeping lives on her conscience, but he would at least try to make her think of something else. One of the kids dropped everything in his hands and turned around to start running. Vincent out of reflexes, wrapped his arms carefully around the shapeshifter and locked her into place as the kid ran off. The other kid was still too scared to move out of his placed and just stared at the two. "They're just doing what is necessary to survive. Just like you and me. If you're angry, take it out on me, but let these kids live," he said, all prepared for her anger.

She could feel her hands shake a little. The humans words were the ones that didn't make sense. All she could see was pain and blood in her eyes. The flashbacks. It made her heart skip a beat, just to run faster and faster. They ran. The wolf wanted to hunt them down and she was about to. He hold her back, the human wrapped his arms around her. "LET ME GO!" She yelled more in frustration then anger. She started to panic. Tatia's brain was trapped in the past, made her heart race. "Let me go!" her voice was filled with mixed emotions, the anxiety was back - it would always strike from the shadows. The red eyes was glowing and looked at the last kid back. The grab on her dagger, she almost forgot she even had her dagger. The shakes in her hands made her drop it. The tears burned in her eyes, wanted her to let them go. The scream was on its way out, bottled up with emotions - and she pretty much hated it. The look at the last one standing was deadly. If the human let go.. she would kill.

Her struggling against his grip made it that much harder to hold her in place. Vincent wasn't the strongest but he wasnt weak either, so he had no problem in at least making sure she couldn't reach the kid. The struggling caught him off guard, so he stumbled, falling back on his butt with her in his arms. He made sure that he wasnt squeezing her too hard but not letting her go, not when she was like this. "Calm down. Come, breathe with me, nice and easy." he almost comanded her before he started inhaling and exhaling loudly in a calm manner, hoping that she'd cooperate and imitate him.

It was like them falling made her come back to herself. Away from all the panic, which just made her fight harder. No one should hold her back. "You don't think I'm calm.. when you don't know me much.." she hissed before using her hands to make her nails press into his thigh. And Tatia knew the strength she had, so it really didn't take long to tear the flesh a little up. She used her element of surprise to get free from him, and back on her feet. Tatia walked straight over the last young hunter. Was she going to let the kid live, knowing he would turn out just like the rest of them? "If I ever see you.. or your friends out here again.. I'm gonna rip the skin of your bones and feet them to your friends, so don't come back," she warned him. "Go." She watched him walk and turned back to the human. "If he comes back.. or anyone else come. Don't dare trying to stop me. Do you get that? I'm not gonna let my child's safety come to risk because of these hunters.. You have no idea how it is to live like a shapeshifter here," pointed she out and took her dagger from the ground.  On those words she threw her dagger in the air and she knew what she was doing. And it hit the kid in the back, made him fall to the ground. "I wont risk it. I will do anything to keep my family safe."

"Well, I mean, I dont actually know you, so you're right about that." he huffed as he struggled to keep her in place. Her nails digging into his thigh surprised him, but the pain wasnt too bad, as a rabbit-hunter, he had had his fair share of scratches and small wounds. When she got free, he stayed on the ground, staring at her with some sort of disappointment, just in case she was going to do what he thought she would. He exhaled relieved when she didnt kill the young hunter and actually let him go. He listened to her and scoffed, "Humans get hunted too, you know? But it doesn't justify killing everyone who might seem like a threat." he scolded her as he got up. Him getting up was the only reason why he couldnt stop her as she threw the knife at the kid. "NO! What the fuck?!" he exclaimed angrily as he got up and hurried to the kid. He put his fingers on his neck shortly because grunting angrily. "You didnt have to kill him." he said with a disappointed voice. Then he got up and squinted his eyes. "What is up with you and this paranoia for everything?" he asked with a curious tone, yet not hiding that he was angry at her for what she did.

He was angry, and she didn't blame him for that. The thing was, she was stopped feeling guilty about killing after the arena with Razor. She tried to feel something about it, but she didn't - it was like she had lost that part of herself long before - it was just another lie she told that she cared, so she didn't think about it. "Yeah, I did," she answered with a more clear serious voice. The thing he asked her, made her look surprised in a second - then she looked away, laughed a little. "There is nothing, well except all the forcing, hunting, torture, betrayal that had happened over the last couple of years.. well really just my whole life.. but if you have a problem with my behavior why don't we take it back to my cabin. You can even tell my boyfriend what I did, his reaction would most likely be the only thing I care about.. or are you done?" She asked as she raised one of her eyebrows. The young pup ran over to her and Tatia picked him up. "Your name is Gona," she said as she smiled at the young wolf.

When she spoke about heading back to her cabin and meet her boyfriend, Vincent simply shook his head. "Well I'm sure that one day you'll feel different about it. When your children starts questioning why you had to murder those people. Would you tell them it was just how it was supposed to be?" he said as he stepped carefully away from her, just enough to be able to avoid a punch for the invasive question. He lifted his hands and gritted his teeth carefully, "Sorry sorry. I dont mean to pry. I'm sure you have enough reason to not be affected by killing. All I'm saying is that it's better to build a counscience about it, so death wont be meaningless." which was probably just making things worse. "By the way, my name is Vincent. Nice to meet you."  

When was the last time had angered her like this? She couldn't remember, but it wasn't like she wanted to kill him. It was more because he made her think, not enough - but just a little more. "Let me one thing clear.. I will not stop at anything for anyone when it comes to protect my family. So if that means killing every hunter in the world to keep them safe.. it sure as hell is how its supposed to be. Killing people who hunt you down isn't a bad thing, not out here - not for me," she told - didn't even care he tried to say sorry. What is the point about conscience? I used to believe people was worth saving - but I learned the world is cruel.. you might just become the thing they fear in order to win, she added without looking away from him. "I know I'm a monster Vincent, but I had to become this in order to survive.. I had to."
