Hunting the Dark Side

Wolf's Bane

Sapphire just stood staring at their stunned faces, she could see how dark of a brown that Dominic's eyes were, she momentarily got lost in how brown they were, it made her feel like she was running through the forest all over the again, the dark brown of each passing tree. Sandalio seemed to love his eyes for the same reason because she was getting very excited.

Dominic was staring stunned that her own brother would try to hurt her, the anger built up within him, it felt like burning in his chest, his hands were in tight fists. Thoughts consumed his mind.

Why would he do that? Because he is jealous of her? No, he wouldn't kill because of that, would he? I mean he has had Jackson all of his life and now Sapphire suddenly is there. Still not a good enough reason for him to attempt to kill her.

When his rush of thoughts finally came to a halt he noticed that Sapphire was just staring at him, straight in his eyes. When he looked back it felt like she was staring straight passed his eyes and into his soul, he shifted ever so slightly which made Sapphire look away.

Jackson stood trying to process what he was just told, she cannot be right, the pack cannot be right. It couldn't have been Leo, he would never do anything to hurt our sister right? A voice in the back of his mind answered.

Are you serious Jackson? You have seen him hurt her on two occasions now, the first one you slipped under the rug because he was saving you, but this time it was unprovoked. Sapphire didn't do a thing, he is out of control. You need to somehow get through to him, that or keep him away from your sister.

Jackson didn't even try to argue with the voice in his head, he knew that it was right. That he had to figure out what is going on with Leo when he snapped out of his thoughts he looked at Sapphire who was staring so intently at Dominic. He turned to look at Dominic who seemed to be staring back at her though he seemed to look at little uncomfortable about the situation he was in. Jackson looked down Dominic analysing his stance and he saw how defensive that it was, her hands were in fists that showed that he was angry about everything. Maybe he really does love her.

When Dominic shuffles Jackson notices Sapphire look away looking almost embarrassed. Her eyes looked at the ground, her paw seemed to play with the gravel on the floor nervously. Jackson cleared his throat feeling the tension in the air.

"Alright, umm, let's deal with one thing at a time. First, let us get you mended Sapphire, then I will find and talk to Leo, how about that?" Jackson finally speaks up, not liking the tension. It didn't help that the air was still around them that just added an eeriness to the whole situation, it was like something would jump out and attack them at any minute. Of course, that only happened in movies. Plus he was pretty sure that Sapphire would know by now if something was wrong or off about the area. If there was something in the area she would know. She would hear or smell their scent then she would let them know but she hasn't informed them of anything which means they are saved.

Jackson shook his head trying to get the eerie feeling away from him, he walked towards Sapphire slowly. "I'm going to pick you up to put you in the car, ok?"

Sapphire nods but she talked to Sandalio. You heard him, he is just going to put us in the car ok? No sudden movements and certainly no biting or scratching! She warns her as she was extremely worried about hurting or turning Jackson, she would never forgive herself or Sandalio if she did that to him.

Sandalio felt how anxious and nervous she was and she whimpers a little nervously too. I will not move a muscle I promise, I will not let you down.

Sapphire felt relief wash over her, she was lucky enough to have a wolf that cared about her just as she cared for her wolf, they seemed to have an understanding of each other which isn't always how it is with werewolves.
