An Encounter in an Alleyway, or: Suzie relieves some stress
Theo came around the corner at a dead run, dark eyes burning with power. He came sharply to a halt at Georgie's side; the girl in question was huddled against the wall, eyes too wide, cheeks drained of color.
The blood dripping from my fingers was the only sound aside from harsh breathing for a long moment as Theodore looked her over carefully. "You're all right?" He asked, and when she nodded rapidly he looked up at me.
I nodded as well.
"I see." His breath came out in a harsh sigh and he stood, lifting Georgie into his arms. She was a little too big, but he was stronger than a human boy would be and balanced her with ease. "Thank you for your restraint."
I flicked blood free of my fingers and stepped carefully over the crumpled, bleeding form at my feet. I'd have to wash my boots when I returned to the safehouse, I noted with distaste. "You asked me not to kill anyone," I answered, walking to the mouth of the alley and taking in a deep breath to rid my lungs of the smell of blood and help my face ease back into fully human proportions. "I try to accommodate my hosts."
.....I love writing Suzannah.
