supernatural things yes.

[longwinded]

[It was a centuries old rivalry. As cliche as the entire werewolves versus vampires thing sounds, it's always been a thing. Marked lands and certain territories. John had heard stories as a pup about the rivaling clan, their clan leader mysterious as always. Disappearing for months on end, and coming out only when he absolutely had to.

As John grew he became more curious, venturing on the lines as young adult, and going as far as crossing them when he was almost mature. He wanted to take risks, as next in line to be the Alpha dog he needed to know the lines well. He wanted to know the territories.

It's the dead of winter now as John is exploring, sniffing out where the lines diverge and the territories divide. He's crossed into their ground with full knowledge that he is there. Usually as long as he isn't causing any trouble they don't bother him, but their seem to be a pair of watchful eyes on him tonight as he heads into a moonlit clearing.]

[He isn't sure if John is resilient, stubborn, or just an idiot. Probably a mixture of all three. But he's growing tired of this and he really wants to turn in for the night.

While John lunges at him with all his might, he clenches his free hand into a fist and aims a good punch right at John's jaw.] Just stay-

He slams his fist into John's face.] -down![And that cracking sound isn't from John's jaw. It was definitely from Dave's hand. He really did not give a shit about what injuries he may get if it meant taking this kid down so he can leave. Even if it meant breaking bones on John's face to keep him down.]

[longwinded]

[John was right, it was after that hit that he morphed again. He turns his head- spitting blood. If this asshole thought he was done then he was sorely wrong. His teeth are still bared as if he were still in his wolf form, and he's still primal in the way he brings back his fist to try and bring him down.

Fuck giving up. That isn't what he's about.]

[rememberstime]

[Dave dodges John's fist. There was no way a kid who wasn't even thinking was gonna get an upper hand when he was completely in his right mind. He broke his hand on John's jaw though so he'll have to resort with some well placed kicks.

He aims a kick at John's side. He was gonna keep beating this kid up until he stopped getting up. Jesus Christ.]

[longwinded]

[It was stupid of him to try. But it was a pride thing. He didn't want to leave here with his pride damaged. He had to get in at least one hit. He's sure at least one of his ribs is broken, if not the entire right side.

It hurts but he gets up again, staggering this time. He's stupid to keep trying.]

You can keep kicking me down. [He laughs dryly.] I'm going to keep getting up.

[rememberstime]

[Dave lets out a sigh.] Okay, look. I have 0 interest in whatever crap you want to fight me for. This? I just came out to eat. I rather not have to kill you just so I can go home and sleep. I seriously don't.

You are seriously being a damn idiot right now. What do you have to gain from this? You're not going to win. And I'm damn sure that you have more to live then getting yourself killed because you let your pride blind you from thinking proper.

Learn to pick your fights or it'll get you killed. [His eyes narrow.] Unless you want to die right now.

[longwinded]

[John backs away. He hates being talked down to. His Father did it enough when he acted out, he didn't need it from someone else. In that time though, John was lucky that Dave was telling him to back off, it gave his mind time to catch up on his injuries- the ones he had gained in under ten minutes. Embarrassing.]

Don't think this is the last time you'll see me.

[He knows who this is. He knows exactly who he picked a fight with and it was stupid of him to do it. But he wouldn't be a proper werewolf if he didn't challenge.

With that, he morphs again and turns to retreat, looking back only to snarl again. He'll act like it doesn't hurt until he gets away.]

[rememberstime]

[Dave doesn't seem all that phased by John's thread and even his snarl. Mostly, he just wants to go home. He sinks his teeth into the heart in his hand and starts making the trek back home. Didn't want to be stuck outside when dawn came. That would be terrible.

Hopefully, the kid will forget and leave him alone. He didn't want to deal with a dumb werewolf brat.]

[longwinded]

[It'll probably be a few months before John stalks back around. He goes home only to get scolded by his own father. How he had nearly brought shame upon himself and made the feud between the two species worse. John then took off away from his pack to heal, his rebellious streak was because he was young- it was a desire for dominance.

It was well into spring the next time John came roaming around the vampires territory. He's sniffing around for the same guy, not that he's hopeful that he'll find him. He remembers those words from the last time- about him not thinking as clearly as he should have. This time he wouldn't lose. He would trump the other because he actually has somewhat of a battle plan.

Come out come out where you are....]

[rememberstime]

[Dave has long since forgotten about John. Months was such a short time to him, but he didn't really think much of their meeting. It didn't leave much of an impact on him as it probably had with John.

He was actually just wandering around. Once in awhile he liked to just stretch his legs and walk around to pass time. He liked to keep himself busy, but it was one of those rare nights he just mulled in his thoughts.

Dave didn't do it often. He wasn't a friendly face for hunters and vampires weren't well liked in general. But he wandered still, stuck in his thoughts.]

[longwinded]

[When he finally spotted that familiar scent it was a better situation for him than he thought. It seemed that the other was lost in his thoughts? He thought vampires didn't mull like that. Hah. Better for him. He could get the upper hand if he pounced while the other wasn't paying attention.

He doesn't waste time.

He plows into Dave, completely blindsiding him.]

[rememberstime]

[On the upside, vampires can't get the wind knocked out of them on the account that they don't breath. That's convenient, but doesn't help him much when all of John's wait comes straight at him.

He lets out a yelp that quickly becomes a low growl.] What the hell?!

[longwinded]

[John is using his weight to his advantage. He's pretty ferocious now that he kind of has the upper hand here. He knows his strength can trump the other's now that he actually has him pinned down- his claws dig into shoulders and his teeth are bared.

Hello Dave, hi Dave!!!!!]

[rememberstime]

[Dave is struggling, trying to kick the other off him. He was strong, yes. Being a vampire gifted him inhuman feats, but he wasn't built for strength. He used his speed more so as an advantage.

He ignores the pain shooting through his shoulders, glaring at John.] Get off me!

[longwinded]

[Ha. Kick away. John isn't letting the deter his paws from gripping harder. His teeth still dangerously close to Dave's throat. He has the upper hand here and he could throw this bullshit vampire around by his neck if he wanted to. He might do that if Dave doesn't surrender.

John was getting some kind of power trip from this as well. A young wolf being able to hold down the leader of a clan.]

[rememberstime]

[God, that would be humiliating. Letting something or someone else prey on his throat. But he honestly doesn't care. This brat with his damn pride going as far as playing underhanded tricks to get the upper hand.]

You dirty playing little shit.

[longwinded]

[But he will if he's given the chance to. Hahahaha, mostly he's having fun watching the other squirm and complain under him. It was empowering and as much as he wanted to laugh he remembers he has to keep the other down.

Don't ever fuck with a werewolf. Ever. John lifts one paw, swiping it across the other's ribs. Ha. HA. Remembering doing that to someone, Dave? That was his revenge.]

[rememberstime]

[It was your fucking fault in the first place, you asshole. John picked a fight with him. He was minding his own business.

He tilts his head a bit.] You gonna break my ribs? Give me the same injuries I gave you? You ain't nothing but a brat with too much pride. [He's sure John isn't even aware the problems that can arise for attacking him amongst the rest of the two clans.]

[longwinded]

[Stop trying to sound so wise Dave. Stop being so old. Stop being so calm about this. It's really annoying. His impact ended up not being as hard as it should have been. It could have broken all of his ribs, with that maybe one or two.

He hates hearing "too much pride", of course he has pride.

John ends up not being able to focus. He steps away, morphing back to his normal form.]

Stop fucking talking down to me. It's called getting even.

[rememberstime]

Getting even. You deliberately started a territorial dispute with me. You do know that goes against the treaty that I have with your clan, right? Territory is only disputed during meetings, and I've been more than generous with keeping our sections as even as possible.

You're mad because I beat the shit out of you because I didn't want to play your game. [Dave's pain tolerance was pretty high. Dave didn't seem all that hurt. Even with broken ribs.] You should have known what you were getting yourself into.

Don't tell me what to do. [There was no way in hell he was gonna take orders from a brat. Even if he had the upper hand.]

[longwinded]

[But John knew the story behind this particular piece of land. John knew that his own father had lost, and that wasn't something he wanted to think about. Dad never loses fights. Dad couldn't lose a fight against this scumbag. All his life he was told they lived along the territory, and they didn't socialize with the vampire until meetings.

John's fault or not, his ultimate goal had been winning that land back from Dave for the sake of his Father.]

I wasn't playing any games, I was being completely serious. There was no game to that. I was intent on killing it. [He did know what he was getting into, that was the funny thing.]

If it wouldn't cause any more trouble than I've already caused, I would kill you right here. [He raises his fists, pretty much just to wail on Dave. This is about the only time Dave would have time to get away since this idiot just freed his shoulders.]

[rememberstime]

[Dave wastes no time to sit up and slam his forehead against John's. He would take whatever injuries necessary if it meant getting free. There was nothing he wasn't probably willing to give up to stay on top. It's why he's been leader for so long. Why no one dared to usurp him since he took down the last leader.]

If you wanted to kill me, you didn't take the time to figure out how. [He aims a punch at John's side, intent on getting John off him.]

And wailing on me doesn't really give you any favors.

[longwinded]

[Woop. That sure was his head, and it's enough to deflect him. He's getting off of Dave now and holding his head. He may have a thick skull but he wasn't fucking prepared for that what the fuck.]

It would cause a bigger rift than I'm already causing, ha. Like any of us need that. [The punch to his side didn't really hurt, it was just annoying. It was annoying and not necessary. Fuck you Dave.]

Makes me feel better, beating your ugly mug. [Okay...so...his mug wasn't actually ugly. Dave was actually rather attractive. Ah, fuck. Shut up John no.]

[rememberstime]

[Dave actually kind of just flops back on the ground. God, this kid is so dumb. Killing him would make it worse, but beating the shit out of him makes it worse too. Just not as bad as if John killed him.]

Fine. Beat the shit out of me. [If it means John will leave him the fuck alone, god he will take getting the shit beaten out of him and not have John stalk him.]

Make yourself feel better.

[longwinded]

It's not any fun when you're like that. [Saying it like that sounds kind of weird. Err, wow. That was fucking awkward. John is going to get up after a long moment of pondering what the fuck he just said. Wow, wow, wowowowowow. That was stupid.

Stupider than coming her.]

Uh...

[Yeah bye. Dave isn't gonna see John around here until he thinks about what the fuck he just said. Oh no, ooooooh no. He finds the vampire attractive and that is just downright weird.

Isn't he old?????]

[rememberstime]

[What...?

O...kay. Dave just gingerly gets to his feet. Ow. Fucking broken shit is the worst. Dave is just...gonna go with his business? Like, okay. Kid is weird and maybe John won't bother him anymore.

He can hope right?]
