( ♛ ) Bruno's Territory
Bruno walked in through the deep layers of iced precipitation that coated the terrain- a terrain that was rarely seen with anything other than the white blanket that so often inhabited the lands in addition with himself. Nyx lifted off into the sky, perhaps taking the time to hunt in familiar territory. In the meantime, Bruno continued to saunter toward his abandoned family cabin- the cabin he grew up in before his father moved out into the city. One would believe Bruno was uncomfortable constantly living out in frigid temperatures, but when it came to being outside, his wolf fur protected him from the harsh climate.
Tara Wolfprism had no control of where she was going. The minute she stepped onto the mountains, her paws were hit with the stinging cold. Her side bled little but still, she was running out of time. She needed to find the cure quick. Faster she ran, to avoid the bitter sting of the cold.
Bruno's nares immediately picked up the familiar scent of Tara and he sharply turned around, able to sense her getting closer based on the redolence she carried and the ever-growing stench of the sanguine that was coating her flank in which she had been hit. Alighting himsf down in the snow, he merely waited for her to reach him.
Her mind was so clouded. Tara zoomed by Bruno, her senses taking her deeper into the mountains toward his house. The cure is close! Drop of red stained the snow she passed.
Bruno watched her speed past and realized she was heading toward his house. However, if she entered without his permission he was certainly going to attack her and rearrange her countenance. Though he acted as if it were a light deal and merely trotted after her, following her.
She saw a house. A large one in fact. Her body stopped taking control and she stopped abruptly, staring at it. Her vision was going dark. She stumbled, one leg tripping. She was at the edge of a wolf's house. A wolf scent that was...familiar. Then she blacked out, and rolled down harshly, slamming her shoulder at the stone of a garden. She shifted back, and lied unconscious. Her leggings were torn and her shirt was stained with dark red.
Val had raced after Tara.Yelling her name continously. Her voice now hoarse."Tara?!" She ran faster and harder now, not realizing she was in Bruno's territory."Tara!!" Val saw her fall. Running towards her, she saw her change."Shit!" Her clothes were covered in blood. Hesitsntly, sge picked get up. "Tara,can you hear me?" Slowly, Val moved towards the house.
Tara groaned, she could feel herself being moved. She knew the cure was close, but she couldn't tell what was happening. She used her strength to send a message to Val, Wait! This is someone's house, be careful. I thought the scent was familiar. her voice couldn't travel any further.
When Bruno reached the house, he remained at the edge of the trees, watching. He loved how they entered the homes and lands of others without even a second thought about how much the individual might feel their privacy was being intruded upon; he sure damn felt that way.."Don't go any further,"he told Valentine. He wanted to know why they were here intruding on his personal childhood home.
"Stop hiding you twit." Val stepped closer to his house. Sge had known it was his. "Tara needs help, so come out of hiding and help." If he didnt come out soon , she was going to tear his vocal cords out. Not caring if this was his territory or not. Tara needed help and she was going to get it. Even if it meant Val had to fight and die.
Tara's body's runes glowed again and Tara groaned, "Val! Drop me! I'm going to..." and she began to shift.
Bruno canted his head to the side, able to smell the poison in Tara's system. "I can't help." There was nothing he could do. There was no cure for wolfbane in existence, unless Tara used her magic and witchcraft to heal herself like she always did; why couldn't she do it now? Either way there was nothing he could do.
Val dropped Tara but not before Taras hand scratched her face. "I dont care if you can help! Get out here NOW!" Val was looking at the surrounding forest. Her voice was dripping venom.
Bruno rolled his eyes and stepped out. "Happy? Now what difference does it make now that I'm out?" He was tired of the both of them and they had deprived him of two naps he would have taken so far and he was fatigued. It seemed no matter where he went, they followed with this drama that could not be helped.
Tara ran to the house and started to dig. After what seemed like hours, she grabbed a box that was buried and dragged it out of the hole. She shifted back, panic clear in her eyes and picked the lock opening a box of orbs. She smiled thankfully and picked one, swallowing it and feeling the poison dissolve.
Bruno growled beneath his breath and stalked over to the hole she made in the his yard, kicking dirt and snow back over it. "Now both of you get out. NOW!" He was infuriated; they were not only in his territory but destroying his childhood- his last memories of his mother and he seriously wanted them out. He was solely pissed at the moment.
Val glared at him."Nice of you to show your scraggly arse." She turned away and wached Tara."Feeling better?"
Tara crawled back, seeing he was larger as a wolf then she realized. She took out her knife and held it. "I don't want to hurt you Bruno." She stood shakily, her legs unsteady and weak. In one arm she had the box cradled.She looked up, seeing the blizzard storm. Casting a look at Val she told her in her mind, There's a storm coming. Go, and you might make it. She wasn't about to add that she couldn't run, let alone have the strength to fight off Bruno but she had no choice.
"Neither of us is going to make it. Bruno just going to have to learn to share." She smiled at Bruno, gently patting his head and rubbing behind his ears.
Tara Wolfprism started to crack up laughing in her head but she wouldn't dare show it on her face. She wouldn't want to provoke Bruno now would she? Well not provoke him MORE so.
Bruno had no intentions of sharing his mother's memories with these people but as soon as Valentine scratched behind his ears, he closed his eyes and panted, content. Suddenly ripping himself away from her, he growled beneath his breath and smelt the air before making his way behind a bush, and transforming whilst putting on trousers. He then sauntered out, the cold not seeming to effect too much. "Don't touch anything," He mumbled, opening the door to his cabin and walking in, waiting for the others to follow.
Tara smiled but it was hidden. Val was a perfect calmer for Bruno. She wondered if there was a bond growing between the both of them. Entering, Tara held a face of expressionless motion but she was AMAZED at how the whole cabin looked. Who was she kidding. A cabin? More like a mansion!
"Stop grinning like that." Val looked at her, cocking her head to the side. Turning around she took in the glory tht was Brunos house.
Bruno flinched, closing his eyes tightly at the contact of the kiss on the cheek, panicking for a split second. "Don't touch me as a human; he has a phobia of skin contact." his wolf did not mind being touched if he would let someone but his human, whether he loved the person or not, feared being touched. He closed the door and locked it, quickly going upstairs to open a window in case his eagle decided to come back. Which she probably would given the coming blizzard. On cue, Nyx flew through the window and he closed it back and looked it. He did that with the rest of the windows and doors given a blizzard was coming to and closed all curtains before going back downstairs.
Val nodded innocently."Will do." With a spring in her step, she walked to living room. Plunking herself down in one of the big comfy couchs.
Tara followed and without her warning her face turned into something more beautiful with sharper features. Her clothing changed into a sleek black dress. "Damn it!" She forgot that her vampire side will heal her. She froze. She looked like a vampire, and there was nothing she could do to stop Val from seeing it.
"Woah gorgeous! What just happened here?" Suddenly, Val's eyes narrowed. Jumping up from the couch she stared at Tara."Vampire?"
Tara stood still. "Yes," her lips barely moved. Then in a flash she went into the kitchen taking her pack and came back with speed. She touched her sword and hissed when she couldn't turn back. She didn't want Bruno to see her like this. It could mean the death of her. "Val," she said looking up. "Remember being what I am wasn't my choice. I was born like this.
Bruno came downstairs just in time to see the transformation and he rolled his eyes. For once, can she not have this stupid drama crap? Bruno mumbled beneath his breath, giving Val a look that suggested she calm down; Bruno neither liked nor disliked vampyres and decided he could tolerate it.
"Its never a choice. But its a choice when it comes to sharing tht bit of info with your friends." Val's words were cold, she shoved past her. Seeing Bruno,"Whers the washroom?"
Tara looked at Val, and then at Bruno. She clenched her teeth and sat on the couch, crossing her arms. She focused out the window and slowly the transformation died and her clothes shimmered back to her bloodstained legging and shirt.
Bruno pointed upstairs, where the rooms were located. "There are five guest rooms upstairs; each one has its own bathroom." He walked into the kitchen and went into the fridge, digging out a water bottle and taking an insignificant sip.((Finally added those other pictures so you can have a better picture of the guest rooms and bathrooms!))
"Fine," she muttered. "I'll go into the stupid blizzard if you want Val." She played with her knife, spinning it into her hands. She knew Val would hate her anyway if she found out what she really was. Calla had warned her about this. But of course, she didn't listen.
Val whipped around."Who told you to go out into the blizzard?I merely said tht she shoul've told me. I thought you were my friend ." The hurt was evident in her eyes.
Tara kept her gaze out the window, "My... my old mistress told me that it was always best to keep one part of me hidden. It's a habit she make me develop. And when it's burned into you from a woman like Calla, you remember it."She looked at Val and in her eyes the message was clear. I just told you something I never told anyone. That's my trust in you.
Val sighed and nodded. She walked to the guest bedrooms washroom.Stripping off her clothes, she stepped into the shower. She turned the tap on and let the scalding hot water burn her skin. Her head was on the tiled wall infront her. Her hands on either side of her face.
((Thanks Bruno for the pics. Makes it easier XD))Tara got up and went to the kitchen. She sat in a chair, putting her pack back where it was again. She watched Bruno. Was it right that she told him that piece of her too? No doubt he heard.
Bruno put the bottle back in the refrigerator, turning around to see Tara sitting in a chair just outside the kitchen, able to overlook the room. "By the way; you didn't answer Valentine's question-like… at all." He rolled his eyes and sighed, going through the refrigerator again for food.
Bruno closed the fridge, face palming. He looked at her, suddenly looking a hundred years older. "She asked you why you immediately assumed she told you to go out in the blizzard when she only told you she would have liked it if you mentioned your vampyre side." Was everyone this stupid?
She smirked so Bruno can see she knew exactly what he meant. She hoped that he got the message that she could read him easily, she knew what would distract him. "I did it because that is exactly what my old clan would've done." A cruel victory showed in eyes. Her dangerous side was showing, the darkness in her stirring. "You hid something and you were thrown to suffer till you learned your lesson." She sat back, calming down and her eyes cleared.
"But we aren't your stupid clan." He just waved it off, declaring her mentally impaired as he left the kitchen and went into the living room, plopping down on the large couch and turning the TV on. He did not watch TV but sometimes it was worth something.
She rolled her eyes and mimicked him without him looking. She got pissed suddenly, going to him and sitting near him on the joint of the couch that was connected to where he was. "Why do you hate me?" Her eyes flickered gold. "And don't say you don't. Or even then, why do you give me this..." she didn't know how to say it so she flourished her arm, pointing at him.
Bruno rested his arm on the rest, cupping his chin in his hand. He tried to ignore her, his physique getting more and more hot at the close proximity in which she was sitting next to him. He scoot over just a little bit, for there was not much room to scoot anymore on his side. "I don't like either of you, so don't take it personally."

He scoot ..."She narrowed her eyes so she was on the other edge, giving him some space. "Well I know there's something you find entertaining and annoying about each one of us." She smirked. "So entertain me, what's the one thing that annoys you and one thing that entertains you the most about me?"
She wasn't ready to sleep. She was stalling and she knew it. Tara didn't want to deal with the nightmares. Besides she DID want to know.



surrounding // VICINITY 」 Majority of Bruno L'overture's territory takes up the mountains, which is located toward the edge of the woods and due to its higher altitude, the snow here is almost year long, but Bruno likes it that way given individuals ( especially humans ) often dislike the cold and rarely wander this way. In addition, humans mainly come to the woods to collect delicacies like berries and herbs. One will not find any berries in this cold, nor will they find much herbs.
However, if one did bother to travel out here, one would have no harm time finding large wolf prints larger than that of even a bear; thus this area either attracts hunters or scares away timid humans. Bruno's home is located on the other side of the mountain, in which there is a beautiful lake that may or may not be frozen; depends on how cold it is that day.
