Meredith watched her husband leave with their latest purchase, her eyes narrowing at the female still getting that odd feeling from her that something was not quite right about her. As if reading her mind Shey spoke up, â€œYou know she is not completely as she seemsâ€ her tone very matter of fact which made Meredith turn to look her over, while Max was busy on his cell arranging for Sheyâ€™s thing to be brought up.<br/><br/>â€œOh? And what makes you say that?â€ Meredith asked intrigued enough by her comment to not even think about chastising the slave for speaking out of turn.<br/><br/>â€œHer scent is off. Itâ€™s not pure wereleopard, she is mixed with somethingâ€ Shey spoke in that emotionless and matter of fact tone again steadily meeting the eyes of Meredith.<br/><br/>â€œYou can smell a difference in her scent? Please elaborateâ€¦â€ Meredith was now beyond intrigued as she looked Shey over, this time giving her a close and personal exam of her own. Already finding her female form and the hidden strength there to be both terrifying and arousing in the same breath; oh yes they were going to have a lot of â€˜funâ€™ together.<br/><br/>Shey paused for a moment to gather her thoughts before speaking, â€œBeing a werewolf my sense of smell is far keener then that of a human or even of most other weres. Not only that I have spent a life time honing my skills and pushing myself to limits which many can only imagine. When in the arena I learned long ago not to trust my senses completely for there are beings out there that hide who they are with magic and other manners of trickery. So I have learned to look past all of that and allow for my senses to work together to see beyond the surfaceâ€¦â€ she paused as Meredith came back around to the front of her.<br/><br/>â€œSo what is it that your senses tell you about my husband latest purchase?â€ Meredith asked with an amused smirk on her face.<br/><br/>â€œShe is very dangerous. She smells of leopard on the surface but the longer I spent in her presence the more pronounced her other scent becameâ€¦â€ she looked away from Meredith to look to where Adam and the other slave had left. â€œShe is mixed with some power fae magic and given what I know of the fae there are only two ways to handle them. One is you kill them and you kill them fast before they can kill you. Most of them are deceitful little creatures with no honor to speak of that would sooner back stab their own mother then perish themselvesâ€ this was perhaps the first hint of emotion for Shey as she spoke of fae, which  Meredith noted for later.<br/><br/>â€œAnd the second way?â€ Meredith asked wanting to see more of a reaction from this slave.<br/><br/>â€œThe second way is to control them totally and completely. To break their will and trap their magic and use it for your own needs and ends, but you must do it swiftly because they will surely kill you when they get the chanceâ€ again that hint of emotion in Sheyâ€™s tone as she spoke which made Meredith want to ask just what it was that she hated about the fae so much.<br/><br/>â€œHow does one control a faeâ€™s magic?â€ Meredith knew of ways but wanted to get the slaves take on the matter.<br/><br/>â€œMaster uses a specially made collar to control them, at least the more powerful ones. I am sure that he can aid you in your needs for controlling one such as herâ€ Shey offered back in that emotionless tone.<br/><br/>Meredith nodded looking to Max who just finished his call and came over to see the two of them off, â€œAlright so all the arrangements have been made and tomorrow morning her bit of personal effects will be brought over to your home. I hope that is not a problem?â€ Max asked with a charming smile that made Meredith smile.<br/><br/>â€œNo thatâ€™s fine. But I will be borrowing these two to escort her with me to our homeâ€ Meredith said motioning to the two males who had remained flanking Shey on either side and not so much as twitching as the meeting went on around them.<br/><br/>â€œYes yes that is more than fine. They will remain with you actually since she is use to them and they are well broken in and trusted slavesâ€ Max said with a nod of pride before he then took up Meredithâ€™s hand and kissed the back of it in a most charming and gentlemanly fashion. â€œAlas my dear I must depart your beauty for there are matters I have to attend toâ€¦though I hope that perhaps you and I could have a â€˜privateâ€™ meeting in the futureâ€¦â€<br/>The hidden meaning was clear as day to Meredith who smiled coyly and batted her eyes at him,<br/><br/>â€œWell Max a â€˜privateâ€™ meeting sounds justâ€¦.delightfulâ€ she says flirting back and basically sealing a future deal between the two of them.<br/><br/>Max smiled and kissed her hand once more before he stood to his full and proud height, â€œTake care of my girl now and I will be contacting you about her progress and well our meeting of courseâ€ he smiled then nodded once more before turning and leaving.<br/><br/>Meredith watched him leave and was not disappointed in the view which made her smirk and arch an eyebrow before she turned back to the waiting slaves, â€œAlright letâ€™s get goingâ€ she said to them and strode off without a glance back knowing that the two of them would follow her.<br/><br/>Out in the open now the quartet walked to the residence that Meredith and Adam shared, the night air was oddly still though faintly the roar of the evening matches in the arena could still be heard.  Meredith led the way without too much concern till Shey suddenly stopped; making Meredith walk ahead for a bit before she stopped and turned anger in her eyes.<br/><br/>â€œWhat is the problem?!â€ she snapped, ready to be home and starting in on that bit of fun with her husband.<br/><br/>Shey stood still her eyes closed as she listened and sniffed the air, barely moving; her escorts at her back doing much the same. Then without warning Sheyâ€™s eyes snapped open, a snarl coming from her lips as she rushed to Meredith, the two males behind her following suit and moving into guard positions about Meredith.<br/><br/>â€œWhatâ€™s going on?!â€ Meredith asked quite alarmed for she realized that she was not really well equipped to deal with these slaves should they try to run.<br/><br/>â€œDanger!â€ Shey snarled as her body began to shift a bit and her entire being focused down the street deeper into the slave market.<br/><br/>Suddenly the sound of a motorcycleâ€™s engine winding out could be heard and the lights around them became dark. There were screams and the echoes of gun fire off in the distance that had Meredith instinctually moving closer to the male slaves for protection; though she was focused on Shey who was intently staring down toward the evident location of the disturbance. Then abruptly everything went silent and all could be heard was the heavy breathing of Shey who looked on the verge of a change though she still managed to hold it off.<br/><br/>â€œMaybe we shouldâ€¦â€ Meredith began but was cut off by a motorbike tearing down the street straight at them.<br/><br/>â€œProtect her!â€ Shey snapped before she ran out to meet the aggressor, her mind slipping seamlessly into predatory mode. Arms and legs pumping in unison as she locked in on her target, the change aching to happen but still she held it off as she charged forth. The lone man on the bike fired once, missed, then fired again that time catching Shey in the left shoulder yet it did not seem to faze her as she continued to run full tilt at him.<br/><br/>Time slowed down to the counting of heart beats for Shey,<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">â€˜Oneâ€™ </span></span>her legs began to tense,<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">â€˜twoâ€™ </span></span>she began to push off from the ground,<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">â€˜threeâ€™</span></span>her left foot landed on the front fender of the bike,<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">â€˜fourâ€™</span></span>her right knee came forward and much to the surprise of the man on the bike it made contact with his face. As she landed time sped up again as she stalked slowly over to the man who lay moaning and groaning on the ground, trying to get up from the flat of the back where her knee and the combined momentum of her running and bike left him some twenty feet away. She arrived to him just as he began to crawl away, her barefoot slamming down on his back with a crunch that dragged forth such a scream of pain.<br/><br/>â€œButâ€¦.butâ€¦wâ€¦we are only trying to save youâ€¦â€ he gasped out before coughing up a bit of blood.<br/><br/>Leaning down and pressing more of her weight into his back, â€œI did not ask to be SAVED!â€ she snarled as she reached down taking his head in her hands. He screamed and tried to struggle but to Shey it was music to her ears before she finally decided it was enough and snapped his neck.<br/><br/>Standing up she licked his blood from her hands then returned to Meredith and the others. Not a word was said between them before Meredith led the way again to her home, though the entire thing was surely going to be relayed to her husband when she saw him.
