Sage's POV:
Lucifer looked towards me as I took in the information the Dragga had given to all of us. Chuckling, he stepped closer to me, making our pelts touch. "After we destroy your rich pack, you will have me, and me alone." He whispered in my flattened ears, giving them a lick with his warm tongue. I closed my eyes and shook slightly at the shivers running up my spine.
"No you wont." I breath out. Despite the fear he instilled in me, I wouldn't let their plan succeed. "I wont let you. I'll fight you all until I die."
"Oh really?" The Dragga took a step towards me, and the rest of the Varg rolled their eyes. They were sick of this, and I guess I was too. "Get to your chores and prepare for the journey. NOW!!" he yelled at his pack.
"You don't want to be making statements like that hun." Lucifer bared his teeth at me.
"Well, looks like I just did." I lift my head and looked them in their eyes. "You're all such dicks." I scold them.
"Okay... anything else?" Lucifer asked.
"You think this funny, but just you wait. I wont let your plans succeed. I wont go anywhere with you," My voice raises and I step away from them.
"What are you going to do then? Run? Fight?" The Dragga growls. "You wouldn't get a hundred yards before we caught you. Fighting would kill you."
"Okay, well you don't know for a FACT that I cant out run your sorry asses, and so what if I die. What you may do could be painful, but you wont kill me." their expressions were quite shocked and for once, I'm the one amused.
"Not kill you, but you may not be able to stand once I'm through with you darling." Lucifer took a step towards me.
"Does it look like I give a shit about how much pain you'll put me through?" I snarl.
"Damn..." the Dragga breathed out.
"Guess not." Lucifer replied.
Truth be told, they were dumbfounded by my outburst. I had them standing in front of me wide eyed and unsure about what to do. Now is my chance....
"I don't care if you're a lost pup looking for attention, but you're not getting it from me." I give them one last growl before turning around and bolting in the opposite direction, making sure to run away from the rogue den.
I didn't get too far before I heard them running after me, but they weren't laughing. This wasn't a joke. For once they were taking me seriously. I kept my head up and never looked back, knowing they would see that as weakness. I could hear them struggling to catch up. I am faster than them, but chances are, I'm going to run out of energy before them. I needed to loose them and fast.
"Come back here at once!!" I heard the Dragga growl.
I didn't respond for fear of loosing my train of thought and constant breathing pattern. I ran for quite a while, coming up to a river. This wasn't here before, but whatever. The water was quite fast. I hopped in, mid run, and began swimming quickly to the other side, being pulled slightly from the current. I got out, shook myself, and continued to run through the greener forest that awaited me on this side. suddenly, I felt pressure on my spine as I fell downward, rolling with whoever tackled me.
As I rolled, I latched onto my attackers neck enough to draw a lot of blood. He yelped and let me go, allowing me to stand and look at him. It was Lucifer, and in all his glory, he was bleeding pretty badly due to me. I could hear his ragged breathing. Serves you right you big pile of.....
"You have some nerve..." he growled, still out of breath.
"Don't I?" I scoffed back, eyeing the Dragga approaching. He was running, but not stopping... Shit!! I realized too late what his intentions were, and very soon found myself rolling once again. His teeth grabbed a hold of my scruff and he shook violently. He paused for a few seconds, giving me a chance. I leaned up and bit his snout fiercely. There was no way I'd go back with them.
As I expected, he leaped back and laid his ears back. "This is a new feeling..." He muttered.
I nearly laughed. "Told you I was faster, and.." I made a point to look over my shoulder at the direction we came from. "I defiantly made it past a hundred yards kiddo." then I looked to Lucifer, "And while I never expected you to mark me, I can say for certain that your assedness makes up for that small dick of yours."
"I'll have you know...." Lucifer began.
"Ah ah, no if's and's or buts's about it." I smirk.
"Smart ass." he grumbled. Then, the Dragga lifted his muzzle to the sky letting out a powerful howl. "We'll see how well you do against a pack of Varg."
I narrowed my eyes at him and backed up and turning to sprint again, but was pinned down roughly by Lucifer. His blood was slowly dripping on me. He seemed to be taking in my scent again. I've had it. So I leaned my head back and bit at him. My teeth made contact instantly with his eye. My head was slammed down by the Dragga as Lucifer regained his composure, his eye torn to bits. I stared him down in his remaining eye. He looked close to tears from the pain I caused him.
"I will make you watch as I kill your siblings and your father." The Dragga growled in my ears.
"You'll have to kill me first." I snarl. "Or I'll kill you."
"You will do no such thing. You're weak."
"Say that to your one eyed friend there."
Lucifer narrowed his eyes at me and let out a low growl. "Hold your tongue Sikla"
"We could rip her tongue out...." the Dragga suggested with a smirk.
"Can we really?" Lucifer asked like a child.
I couldn't help but gulp a bit at what they were suggesting. But I watched them as they discussed it, keeping my mouth shut.
"I say we rip it out. It'll teach her some manners hopefully, and make up for your eye." The Dragga said.
"Ripping out my tongue wont stop me from fighting you." I snarl from underneath the Dragga.
"Maybe not, but It'll shut you up." Lucifer walked closer to me and stood where my head was being held. "Force her head up by her scruff and make sure she cant turn." The Dragga ordered.
Lucifer took the Draggas spot with ease and had lifted my head up roughly. His frame stood directly over me, locking his legs at my side so I couldn't escape. The dragga leaned down and contemplated how he'd go about forcing my maw open. "Open up Sikla." In response, I shook my head and laid my ears back.
"I have an idea, throw her head down on her side." before I could react, my head was slammed to the ground causing me to open my mouth yelping.
Mid yelp, I felt a stump between my jaws. It was a leg. The Draggas thick powerful legs were holding my mouth open while Lucifer held my head down so I couldn't move my head away from his leg. The rest of my body was being held down by Lucifer's legs. I tried biting down on the Dragga's leg, but he didn't seem to notice. He instead leaned his head down and attempted to grab a hold of my unprotected tongue and was able to grab it roughly with his teeth, drawing blood. I gave off a small whine and tried to move my head upward to lessen the pain.
"Now you will know what it means to be silent." He growled through his teeth.
I didn't have much warning before he bit down and pulled on my tongue forcefully. I closed my eyes tightly due to the stinging sensation, but couldn't block out the sound of ripping flesh. My flesh.
Before I knew it, I tasted blood.... a lot of blood, but couldn't seem to do much about it. Well.... Shit... I thought. Surprisingly, the pain seemed to numb quite a lot but I glared at them all the same. The blood was an annoyance and I couldn't swallow too much, so I let it drip out, knowing it would heal soon.
"There," said Lucifer.
"How does it feel?" The Dragga asked with a slight smirk. If only I could say. But now you'll never get information out of me. Suck on that one kiddo.
He watched me and shook his head. "Now that we have your attention," he began. That's laughable, but by all means, humor me.
"You will come with us to your packs land!!" He snapped down at me.
In response, I tilted my head up with a glare and bared my bloody teeth. Like hell I will... He and Lucifer shared a look and sighed.
"Get up." Lucifer said. "You need water, and a cleaner mouth."
That statement goes many ways my friend.
I got up and shook myself, knowing the bleeding has nearly stopped, but my mouth was full of blood, and it was highly uncomforitable. They escorted me back to the river and watched me closely as I dipped my muzzle in the soothing coolness of the river. Blood instantly washed away from my mouth making me feel much better despite my missing tongue.
"She doesn't have much to say does she?" Lucifer laughed. "I'd say she's all out of words."
After soothing my mouth, I lifted my head from the water and looked at them with an "I don't care" expression. Their words might've made me annoyed, pissed even, but they could do better than rip out my tongue. Though I'd have to say it was a creatively sinister idea. They seemed satisfied with me being unable to talk, and the Dragga turned as if to go back to where they attacked me, but I stayed put next to Lucifer, giving him a glare, daring him to touch me.
"Please get moving." He sighs. "I have neither the time or patience for this game of yours."
Oh, but this is only the beginning of my "little game" Lucifer darling.
He laid his ears back and gave a snarl before jumping at me. I knew it would come, so I longued to the side, thanking Tor for the satisfying oomph as he slammed right into a tree. As if to make him look foolish, I trotted in the direction of the Dragga with my tail up and my head high.
