It seemed to Leo that theyâ€™d been standing here for an eternity. The wind had picked up and howled mournfully through the trees, and the youngster heaved an entirely unnecessary sigh. Robyn was no happier, but she hid her impatience from her fledgling and resolved to wait a few more minutes.<br/><br/>But still, nothing happened. An owl hooted and insects buzzed about their business, but otherwise all was silent. There wasnâ€™t even the thrum of the human hive at this distance.<br/><br/>Robyn pouted and spun one foot to face Leo. The male had ceased paying attention to his silent sire and was instead staring up at the stars through the lattice of branches. He was trying his hardest to ignore the hunger chewing at the forefront of his mind. It was getting more and more difficult and his tolerance for this little charade was very nearly at its end.<br/><br/>â€œWell, come then Leo. The master wonâ€™t be happy about thisâ€¦â€ Leo looked at her long and hard. He had no response for her because heâ€™d never, in fact, met Nikolai and so was in very little danger from the elder. â€œBefore we tell him this venture was pointless, weâ€™ll get you fed.â€<br/><br/>She said â€˜weâ€™ as if Leo would have any part of her discussion, and he smiled a crooked smile at her, lowering his face from the sky. â€œThis wasnâ€™t what you had to show me then?â€<br/><br/>â€œNo. Of course not, goof.â€ Robyn gestured for him to follow, which he did so eagerly enough.<br/><br/>The unobtrusive grey car of Leoâ€™s pulled to a stop in front of a bar. From the outside, it was just like any other bar. Leo wasnâ€™t particularly happy with being dragged to a bar either. There was far too much work involved in the taking of prey from public places. And how could one little building where alcohol was served be any different from the rest?<br/><br/>Robyn climbed out of the driverâ€™s side and after stalling just a moment, Leo got out after her. Together, Robynâ€™s elbow hooked around Leoâ€™s arm, they walked through the door. He was struck immediately by the scent of living beings; it registered even before the sight of them. There were five and only by scent he could tell that at least two werenâ€™t human. â€œWhyâ€¦?â€ But Robyn shushed him and shoved him into a seat at the bar. There wasnâ€™t anyone back there, as far as Leo could tell. Of course, even if there had been, he didnâ€™t plan on ordering anything. His head was pounding; there were too many different heart beats in his ears, his teeth itched, and he found his hands balled into fists on his lap.<br/><br/>Robyn thoughâ€¦ Robyn seemed interested in two of the women and left him there to struggle with the ravenous, endless, animal hunger by himself. And he was afraid heâ€™d lose that fight this time. Hopefully the other non-humans wouldnâ€™t want any attention on him, if he did let go and kill those humans.
