</div></div><br/>A corrugated steel door slammed shut behind Lilly as she departed an unassuming warehouse on the docks. "Yeah? Well, fuck you too!" Arm raised back with her middle finger flying high. she let out a howl of a scream with her words. in her other hand, she held a handful of bills, quickly stifling her rage to count her winnings. An illicit fight club, her boss might have forbidden her from such locales, but that didn't stop the lioness. She lived for the exhilaration of a brawl, it was one of the few sanctioned ways for her to blow off some steam. Lilly didn't need the money, not with her recent promotion, but it was still nice to see a fat stack after a victory, she'd probably just spend it on shoes. Glancing down at her weathered sneakers, it was surely time for a new pair.<br/><br/>Stuffing the cash into an inner pocket of her leather jacket she rubbed at her bruised knuckles and retrieved a pack of cigarettes and adjoining lighter from another pocket. A strong gust brought a fierce glare in the direction of the sea, turning her back to it and cupping a hand over her mouth to light her smoke. Lilly hated oceanside towns, nothing but awful memories, and even worse people. There was no real destination to her wandering, merely burning the clock before her scheduled meeting, but she remained within sight of the ocean. On her second cigarette, she suddenly came to a halt, head raised to the sky and smelling more than salt on in the air.<br/><br/>Blood.<br/><br/>Piquing her interest, Lilly bent over to touch her toes, coming back up to pull each foot behind her in a series of stretches. Tying her thick raven locks in place, the shifter broke out into a sprint without build-up, an unnatural quickness from her metahuman nature. The source of the fresh crimson was barely a minute away, and as she approached, she bound up the side of a structure for a vantage point. Silent steps as she walked the top of the roof which by all means should have produced noise of some kind.<br/><br/>Past the edge, Lilly peered down at the carnage basked in the moonlight. Immediately her lips curled into a frown, losing ash from the dangling cigarette. She didn't need to look upon the gangly man standing around the corpses to know what he was. Her body knew the mortal foe of her kind--a vampire.<br/><br/>Lean muscles tensed under her clothes as she fought the instinctive urge to shift then and there, the hair on the nape of her neck pricking in irritation. Another inspection of her knuckles showed how her healing had already kicked in to fix up any wounds received during her stint at the fight club. She didn't come here looking for trouble, but one never knew with vampires.<br/><br/>Her emerald hues had shifted into feline slits as she noticed the cat accompanying the lifeless fellow. "Not a smart cat to be hanging around the likes of him." Her voice carried in the silent night air, clearly feminine, but holding a rather serious tone despite the ridiculous commentary. "Must have been hungry you to take down four big guys like them." A statement Lilly practically spit out. She might have been a poor excuse for a Simba of the Bastet, but she knew full well of the stain that his kind was upon mother Gaia.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="6446" data-username="@Salaciousalpha" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6446/">@Salaciousalpha</a><br/>[I got you, friendo.]
