Fate hadn't been stupid-enough to slip off into even the lightest sleep. Her ears perked at the noise of wolf steps, and she whispered to her children frantically. She jumped to her feet, pushing her three pups to their feet, who roused sleepily. She nipped their ears to wake them quickly.
"Well, it was nice to meet you, Perky, Wiley, Orian, its time to head out. Come on, let's go!" she said quickly, shakily, she glanced towards the direction of the devil, and quickly nudged her pups, her paws growing frantic.
"Mom... its too late to leave! I'm tired--" Perky barked lazily, she began to lay down again, but Fate wouldn't have it; she snatched up the three pups quickly, glancing only once in the direction of the male.
She prodded the female, in worry. She didn't want her to have to live like this. She put her pups on their feet quickly and spoke to the female frantically.
"I can't leave you! He'll turn your pups into-- his species! What will he do to you?" she gasped.
She didn't know what to do. She had to save her pups from the horrible life of Mephisto, but she couldn't leave this female.

"No... no. Just go- it's okay... they're already his anyway..." She murmured softly, beginning to rouse from her 'sleep' at Fate's frantic voice. "Just get your pups out of here-"
"But that wouldn't be nice- I have yet to be properly introduced to them!"
Aaliyah sat upright, eyes flying to the brute that now stood a few feet away from where she lay. His eyes were hungering... and she suddenly felt very vulnerable and frightened.
"...Mephisto..."
"I thought I recognized someone's voice," came a soft, sinister chuckle from the large male, blinking in Fate's direction.

Fate backed over her pups, as she had when she had spotted the pup. Her teeth bared, her eyes dangerous. Her fur stood on the end, and she crouched low over her three pups, protecting. She barked, wordlessly, snarling and growl in warning. Her tail lashed, high in the air, whipping through the air like a copper-brown banner.
"Mephisto! You leave us be, or you'll get more than you asked for when you spotted me!" she barked, ears pinned to her head.
"Mom-- I thought dad killed Mephisto..." Perky asked in a worried tone, voice muffled under her mother's thick coat.
"Hush, Perky!" Fate barked at the pup.
"Yeah mom... you said our dad killed the beast..." Orian added.
"Hush, Orian!" Fate growled, through clenched teeth.
"Yeah... you kind of said that Hero, our dad, saved our lives killing Mephisto.."
"HUSH, WILEY!" the scared mother barked.

Mephisto raised a brow at the fae he had forcebred some time ago. He had heard before that there was none such fury as a mother protecting their young, and though he had proven the assumption wrong before, he decided against testing the theory again. But that didn't mean he couldn't toy with them. A small, half-gentle smile (the best he could manage) appeared on his face. He took a few pawsteps towards Fate's pups, and lowered his head so that he was talking directly to them. "I'm afraid you're mistaken, my children- Mephisto is very much alive indeed. And 'hero'?" He glanced up at Fate with an amused glint in his eye before standing up. "Well, I don't know about that...""Get away from them, you bastard," Aaliyah hissed weakly, narrowing her eyes. Mephisto glanced over his shoulder at her. "Oh yes... I almost forgot about you..." He padded over in her direction, stopping in front of his look-alike. "Well, well, well... who is this?"((okay, what's it's name?  )) |

Fate barked wildly at the male, teeth snapping towards him. Her paw swung towards him, claws outstretched. She pushed the copper-toned, Perky backwards, but as she tried to do-so the pup launched forward, out from under her mother, sides brushing against her mother's legs. The most extraordinarily odd thing happened:
On her sides, which had brushed against Fate, there was not the copper-toned fur of her mother anymore, but the dark red-brown fur of her father.
On her mother's legs? None other than the ink-like dye she had applied to her daughter's fur to hide her Mephisto, carbon copy fur.
[[**shrug** something good??]]

((how about Damien? that's the spawn of the devil kid from the Omen's name XD))
Mephisto breathed in the scent of his son, opening his jaws to say something-
Only to be interrupted by the sound of snapping behind him. He sighed slowly, not at all disturbed by her outburst. Turning around to face her, he had to blink twice before focusing on the pup that had ran out from under Fate's leg.
"...well, what's your name?" he asked kindly (of course he was faking it).
When Fate came at him, he dodged her, making no effort to hit her in return- only aiming to get closer to the daughter.

[[Sounds could ^^]]
Fate barked at Mephisto, warning him not to go any closer to the pup. She stalked a bit closer, herded her other two pups with her, they had both slipped out to her side, watching their sister with wide eyes.
"Mephisto, if you put one paw on her..." she warned, trying to get close enough to her so she could snatch her.
"Come on guys! Don't act like a bunch of scared pups!" Perky barked at her brothers in annoyance and taunt.
"We're not scared!" Orian barked.
"Yeah, Perky, don't think a girl has more bravery than we do!" Wiley barked as the two pups ran out to meet their sister.
Perky turned back to Mephisto, and looked up at him. "Hey mister, Mephisto sir, earlier, or five seconds ago, or whatever, you said 'my children'... thats a little weird, you know? Since you have pups right there..." she pointed to the newborns with her muzzle. "So.. I just wanted to correct you on that, and say: it's nice to meet you mister Mephisto sir!"
Orian and Wiley were now standing at her sides.
Fate grabbed hopelessly towards her pups. She stared at him, frozen, seeming to think if she made one move, her pups could be dead.

Aaliyah- weak from the birthing, could only stare helplessly at Mephisto, panting the entire time. She knew she wouldn't be able to fight for her pups, nor Fate's... but she still hoped and hoped that Mephisto would just leave them all alone.
It was beyond unlikely that he would.
Mephisto glanced up at Fate, an ever-amused expression on his muzzle. Oh, he did love this mental teasing...
"Right then... pardon me, then. Let me introduce you to these little guys-"
He stood up so that he was between Fate and her offspring, just in case she tried to snatch them back while he was speaking. He nosed the black pup, who's small, damp pelt bristled at his touch.
"This is Lucifer."
Raising his head, he headed toward the tan pup suckling hungrily at Aaliyah's side. As he bent over, Mephisto glanced toward Aaliyah's face and gave her a twisted smirk that only she could see.
The new mother visibly winced in response.
"This is Steigen."
His gaze fell upon his look-alike once more.
"And this... is Nero." He turned toward the pups again, looming over them. "What do you think of them?"

Fate loomed forward, jaws snapping at Mephisto's neck, she had snapped two inched short. She backed up, front paws going down, back side still raised. She sighed, defeated. She was too paranoid that her pups would get hurt to fight. "Please, Mephisto, give me my pups," she begged, looking up to him with puppy-dog eyes. Perky jumped towards her mother only to bump head-on into Mephisto's leg. She shook her head, and focused her eyes, "Ow?" she seemed to be asking. She smiled a crooked smile-- her father's crooked smile-- and trotted in a circle, the ink-like copper-toned dye that dyed her fur, fading into it's natural dark red-brown tone. "Hey! Mephisto! My name's Perky! Thats Orian and thats Wiley-- he's the crazy one!" she yipped up to him. Orian poked the Mephisto look-a-like with a paw. The look-a-like barked in its high-pitched bark, snarling and growling. He snapped his jaws towards Orian's paw. Orian quickly pulled his paw away. "Fiesty!" he smiled humorously. [[Bringing in a fae, that needs to be rped: mysticsiv.proboards66.com/index.cgi?board=cb&action=display&thread=624]]The perky, young femme trotted happily, and freely through the lands. Her head was high and she felt the freedom lift the weight of her past pack life lift of her shoulders. Her bright green eyes sparkled as she trotted with ease through the lands she once knew.
"Oh, Kamuri, how much has changed since you were last here!" she yipped happily to herself. "But the peaceful serenity that hung then still hangs here! The food is plentiful, the wolves are friendly, and the lands are free of the horrible sickness that killed my parents!" she paused, slowing to a stop. Everything she said was peppy, even up to 'the horrible sickness that killed my parents.' She shook her head, clearing her thoughts of the wolves, glowering at her, saliva slipping slimily from their mouths.
She again smiled and began trotting again; she wasn't much to dwell on the past. |

Mephisto looked down at the pups, eyeing them one by one... studying them, really. Perky, Orian, Wiley... hmm... a bit distasteful, really- too carefree...
Upon hearing Fate's plea, the brute slowly turned to face her, a cynical gleam in his eye. Shaking his head, he uttered a small tsk tsk before lifting his head again. "Now now- begging doesn't get you- or me, for that matter- anywhere... you should know this."
"What do you want, Mephisto?" Aaliyah whispered softly.
The male glanced down at Aaliyah, and then back to Fate. Finally addressing Fate, he murmured "Is there somewhere we may send your three children that is nearby... but safe?" His eyes added out of earshot?
Of course, this was not out of compassion, but a mere detail he wanted to fix before he continued with his dealings with the faes. This needs to be a more private chat...

Fate regained her composure. She quickly leaped around the brute, and stood behind her pups.
"Yes, I know a place. Would you like me to go alone, or would you like to accompany me?" she asked, eyes sparkling. Either way, she knew she would come back. Her paranoia was getting the best of her, and she would come back for the safety of her pups.
"Son of Fire?" she spoke to Orian, who she often called Son of Fire, since this was what his name meant. "Would you stop poking the pups... thank you."
She didn't look down as she said this, she knew he was doing so, it was mother's instinct.
"Actually... its only around those bushes... its a small burrow...its hidden by bushes, and they don't like leaving it because of the thorns."

Mephisto lowered his head, looking over the pups again with his eyes. "I don't think I need to follow you- just tuck them in and come back here, if you would be so kind?"
He sat down at this point- directly beside Aaliyah. He had a feeling that even if Fate wanted to leave, Aaliyah would be a big reason for her to stay.
Even if she did leave, I still have her he confirmed, glancing toward the frail mother.

Fate nodded, and she and her pups quicly headed towards the den. She assured them she'd be back, she tucked them in, and she made sure they were still protected. She smiled kindly to them, and galloped back towards Mephisto.
She smiled kindly to the other femora, and sat down, her tail wrapped around her paws.
She nodded towards Mephisto.\
[[short, but it gets to the point XD]]

Mephisto fell silent, looking Fate over thoughtfully when she returned, the three wolves having formed a sort of triangle amongst themselves.
After a few minutes, he uttered a sly, "You look well, do you know that?" His eyes flashed as he spoke, like sparks of fire in an open field.
((lol XD))

She smiled in discust, but answered with a sly. "You too." She smiled sweetly at him, remembering her promise to her pups.
"So, you had business in which my-- oh excuse me-- our pups couldn't hear?" her voice was sly. Her sweet smile remained on her face.
She waited for him to speak, patiently. Her pups were fast asleep, and if they did awake, their fear of the thorns would keep them in the burrow.
