It was a cold night, Torches were lit around the village as everyone was gathered around the center of the village, They were talking, Speaking of old tales & of news for the village, Though all but one person was there, As peregrine looked up at a stained glass window with art on it that was on the cult/church building, Her robe she wore went all the way down almost to his paws, As he just stared and pondered
"Thats what they see me as.." he thought, "Thats what im ment to be for them..."
She continued to stare at it, The stained glass window had a drawing of a goat-like beast, With predatory eyes of a wolf, Horns that looked like they could reach the heavens, Goat legs and hooves with a long thin tail, Its whole body covered in black fur, While holding a nether star
Peregrine subconsciously scratched at her arm, Hissing a bit, Sacrifical markings..., Put on him once the cult realized he was a liability to use in the war, The scars and markings itched, Never being able to heal properly as the cult forbade it
She looked behind her as she watched the village talk, His ears suddenly pinning back, Eyes focusing on the cult leader, ....The town always favoured that damn vampire, He never understood why the town hated and disapproved of him but favoured and praised the cult leader so much, It made her jealous
As she stood there a figure suddenly appeared beside her, Its body almost looking like peregrine, Same Legs, Same antlers, Even the same tail and ears, Tho it wore bandages on its chest with a cloak overtop that seemed to be more on one side then the other, And it wore a mask that had a smile on it with upward eyes
"So what are you gonna do about that?" The figure questioned, Tilting its head as it stared at peregrine, If close to the light nothing about it seemed....Human, As peregrine jumped in surprise, The bell on her spiked collar ringing a bit, Before he looked confused
"Wh-..What..?" She tilted her head at the figure, "I see the way you look at them...With anger and jealousy.." Its voice distorted as it spoke "If you want to get back at them what about this?"
The figure held out its hand, A fire suddenly starting, As peregrine stared, "...Y-..You want me to set the village on fire...?" Peregrine's voice seemed a bit conflicted at the idea, Though not totally against it, "Well if you want to get rid of this hell hole faster i would say so..." It closed its hand as it suddenly disappeared
Going back onto peregrines arm as just a clump of sculk, Peregrine stood in place, Before suddenly having a determined look on her face, As he started walking away from the cult/church building, Heading towards one of the torches in the ground
He stared at it for a second, Before suddenly grabbing it and heading to one of the nearest houses, Torch in hand, As her bell rang as she walked, Before coming to a holt at one of the houses, Staring at it before tossing the torch towards it, Stepping back in a panic as the home immediately burts into flames
Before peregrine ran off to flee from the scene, Grabbing another torch tho to throw at a building, Soon the towns people & the cult noticed what was happening, Tho by the time they did most of the buildings were already engulfed in flames
People panicked as they ran frantically, Trying to either stop the flames from spreading more or going into hiding, The cult leader stood still, Trying to figure out what to do before suddenly getting shoved(?) to the ground, Upon looking up was peregrine
Tho her eyes no more were full of curiosity and joy, They were now full of jealousy and anger, As peregrine looked at the vampire, Her faceplates twitching, Opening and closing as they did, "What the-..." Before he finished his sentence peregrine suddenly bit him, Biting right into his throat with open faceplates, Tearing some skin off, Before stopping and sitting up a bit, Her face covered in the cult leaders blood
As he sat there in shock and horror, Trying to get away tho unable to due to peregrine on him and the blood loss, As peregrine stared, Part of his long hair covering his face, And her right face side was bloody and burnt, An eye no longer there anymore
The vampire gasped, Wheezing a bit, Before speaking in a gruff voice, "I shouldve believed them when- *Cough* When they spoke about you, You damn devil-...!" Before he finished speaking peregrine stabbed a stake into him
As she panted a bit, Standing up suddenly as she stared in horror, Before suddenly backing up as she started puking, Her body unable to digest the skin from the vampire
Before suddenly hearing voices, The village towns people!, Peregrine looked back, Before immediately bolting it towards the woods, Not aware of where he was going, As he just kept running, She wanted to flee, She wanted to run, She was afra-...Peregrine snapped out her thoughts as she fell to the ground, Landing on her side as the bell rang in her ears
What the hell did i run into..? a tree or-....? Looking up she stared into the eyes of a Fae vex hybrid, Having hearing tales of different fae types he scrambled backwards, Panicked, "Wh-..." Not able to get a word out as she started coughing alot, The blood on her burnt right face was too much
The fae stared in shock, Before immediately rushing to peregrine, "Ho- Holy shit are you ok..?! Uh-..Um..Here" The fae rummaged into her bag before pulling out some bandages
Half-assing it before pulling back, "There...Are you okay..?" The fae questioned, Her ears lowering a bit, Peregrine looked up as she fully saw the fae, Like fully fully saw her, His face going red as he looked away, His tail suddenly starting to wag, Before nodding at the question
"Ye-...Yeah im fine..", The fae stared before suddenly speaking, "Shit! i didn't introduce myself-...Im fang..!" The fae-...fang said, Smiling a bit
Peregrine looked back at fang, Her face still red & tail still wagging, Her hair a bit in her face, Before softly muttering
"Peregrine..."
