The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

He misses her. Greatly so. Perhaps, Tetra was and always will be his favoured companion, his sheer loyalty to the other man the very reason for his newfound imprisonment and yet, the bond of pack is powerful indeed, a truly unbreakable thing, one that will ensnare the trio to one another for the extent of their lives and as such, with each passing day, the highly animalistic, instinct based Were had felt Nadya draw further and further away, no longer lingering upon the outskirts of the club that had become a cage, dark eyes unable to spot her shadowy form, she alone having managed to escape the vampire woman's clutches and the situation the boy a had perilously found himself within. He does not understand, at least not yet, not truly, how very dire his situation truly is. He has spent little more the a week or so within the club, the entire ordeal little more then a change of routine rather then the nightmare it will slowly become, Risque yet to truly flex the muscle of her control- at least, in regards to himself and yet he has learned quickly, so much of his personality absorbed from Tetra's own, a disdain of sorts formed for the woman whom continues to refuse to allow him outside, who demands he be kept in her room at night, whose music and flashing lights push him to the edge of his sanity. He was learning, the hard way, that directly disobeying her was a dangerous past time and yet so much of his spirit remains so entirely intact, the boy not having suffered the years of abuse as his companion has and yet, for how long that childish, wild part of himself will last cannot truly be said. For today at least, it remains, the vampire woman having taken to her bedroom, an unlocked door having given the boy a momentary chance to escape through his favoured bathroom window- though for how long this freedom will last cannot be said. He simply seeks Nadya today, senses extended, his own unique power firmly ensnaring her. She is not upon her street corner, the place she has been each time Tetra and himself are given to make use of an open door, a forgotten lock, or the woman's deep sleep, the pair having been unable to make an escape in some days and yet the lack of Nadya in her usual position readily seeks a look of distress overcome the young man as dark eyes desperately seek her, a call for his pack-mate forced from his throat, though within his human form the sound is far less engaging, misplaced, a scratching cough of sorts. His senses however, react readily to this desire within himself, moving to direct him away from his own Westside territory and further to the east, the young man remaining within the shadows, attempting to do as Tetradore had commanded and stay away from the open areas, the places he may readily be seen lest he be dragged right back to his new 'home'. Confusion touches his features in these moments as his instinct directs him to a...hotel of sorts, the towering building foreign to him as he lingers outside a moment. She is here, of that he is sure, moving to follow another man inside the plush hotel, ignoring the looks he is given by staff and patrons alike, his leather clad outfit utterly ridiculous within this location, bare feet only furthering his unusual look as he moves to head upstairs. He has never been within a hotel before, the young man entirely alert with every stride, fortunate perhaps, to meet no others as he steps out and onto the rooftop pool, very near blinded by the sun and yet seeming to relish it's heat all the same- if only for a moment. His attention however, is readily captured by the sight of his pack-mate, the young woman reclined upon a chair of some kind, hands reaching to take something from a man as he moves to wander away and Tobias is content to bristle readily. He dislikes Nadya near other man, becomes readily and noticeably agitated by it though indeed he hardly understands why. He is protective of her, by nature of their pack bond, because Tetra desires he should watch over her and yet there is more to this, a desire he cannot fully understand or comprehend, an instinctive need that demands he remove any potential...suitors from her presence. He hardly knows why, does not question this animalistic side of himself, this very male side that becomes aggressive whenever any other man seems to get to close for his liking. Perhaps he may never know what it is he wants from her, yet he is assured he does not want any other man to find it first. The human male that had so held her attention is given to brush past him, heading for the doors he himself had merely come through moments ago as he near pivots in place, one hand seizing the back of the mans shirt and hauling him backwards.What the fucking hell is your problem! The words are barely free of the mans lips before Tobias simply bends, teeth suddenly and fiercely clamping onto the mans ear, seeming to have decided to bite the fellow for his trouble, the sheer force of his teeth, even in human form, piercing straight into flesh and resulting in nothing short of hysterical screaming before Tobias simply drops him with a snort, the terrified human collapsing into an utter state of shock, clutching the side of his head as he stumbles down into the lobby. It is a simply act of domination, a predatory one and one Tobias is sure he has won. Contented now the boy simply moves to wipe his hand across his lips before striding out and towards his pack mate, eyeing the water with wary disdain, hoping indeed that Nadya had not been given to notice his attack as he comes from behind, reaching suddenly over to snatch the room key from her fingertips, tossing it straight into the pool, determined that no boy save for himself or Tetra should be giving her anything, a pleased grin lacing his handsome features before he moves to stand before her now, arms folding across his chest as he seems to notice her bikini clad form, blinking in clear surprise in this moment, head tilting slightly. He has never seen her in such a thing before, unable to decide what it is he feels as those dark eyes travel the length of her form before whatever it is, is replaced by ready frustration with himself at being unable to understand what he wants- and at her, for making him feel anything at all. "You are not...supposed to be here....." His words are cold...sharp, holding clear derision as he scowls towards her. "I don't want you.....being near.....the other men....I do not like...it." He has told her this before, in the club and sees fit to tell her again now, her room key rapidly sinking to the bottom of the pool and yet for a moment at least, he is pleased, their pack bond reaffirmed, his possessive nature soothed by her presence, oblivious to the fight he may well be about to start. |
