The angel of shadows: Prologue.
'Nother story! And of course it contains homo material. If you no likey, why you on here? Gtfo. I was inspired to write this after I saw that movie Twilight, which I loved. It combines two of my favorite things: foxes and Vampires. And now, on with the insanity!
"Why did I drag myself here again?"
Terri asked himself that question for the third time in just a few minutes. The wolf's work colleagues had dragged him here to wind down for the long weekend. His buddies were out enjoying themselves and undoubtably trying to get lucky while he was sitting here, vodka cruiser in hand, watching everyone grinding their way across the dance floor to almost unbearably loud loud techno music being blared out by the biggest speakers Terri had ever seen.
Terri sighed to himself.
He would much rather be sitting at home with a good book in his hand than watching people gyrating around, most likely drunk and then pulling some poor sap into a dark corner and humping them 'till the cows came home. Yes, Terri was cynical. He made no secret of that. What people didn't know was that his cynicism stemmed from a bit of a rough childhood. His mother was a dug abuser, his father an alcoholic. Terri's birth had been the result of a one night stand in the back room of a place not unlike the club he was in right now. The poor pup had been dumped at the nearest orphanage the moment he was born, his birth parents rushing off to get themselves killed in a car accident. Terri was adopted by a loving family who gave him everything they could and for that he was thankful. Although his school years hadn't been so kind to him. Right up until year 12, he was tormented by a hulking feline (oh, the irony) named Justin, who held a grudge against Terri for an unknown reason. But two months after graduation, Justin received his just desserts; he was arrested for raping a female police officer.
[Served him right.] Terri thought to himself. As for Terri, he went to to college and got a degree in MIT. He now worked at a banking company, making $70,000 a year. By some people's standards, it wasn't much but as Terri said: "It's a living."
"*Sigh* How do I get myself into these situations?"
Terri muttered to himself, at least that's what he thought he said; he couldn't hear himself over the music. As far as he could tell, all his friends were on the dance floor. And almost every dancer's attention was centered on an undulating figure at the center of the floor. Terri craned his neck above the throng to see.
His jaw dropped.
The figure was a male Fox. He looked to be around 20 years old. He was of a slender build with toned, swimmer's muscles. Terri could tell because the Fox was wearing an unbuttoned shortened black leather jacket with no shirt underneath, exposing his white furred chest. Terri noticed a glint on the fox' well toned belly. He made it out to be a navel piercing. Terri's eyes went lower still as he observed that the Fox was wearing tight black leather pants that accentuated every curve of the Fox' hips, thighs and legs. Twirling seductively behind him was an unusually long and slim tail with a tuft of white fur on the end, the rest of his fur, Terri noted was a deep vermillion red.
This Fox was hot.
He knew it, Terri knew it. Everyone else in the club was informed of it once the Fox graced their vision.
Terri continued to unashamedly stare at the Fox, his wolfhood stirring slightly in his jeans. At that point, the Fox twirled around, his back to Terri's prying eyes and began to swivel his hips, brandishing his toned buttocks in time to the music. The Fox then crossed his arms and slid his hands down his body in a sensual fashion, his tail swinging lazily behind him. It was strange. For a moment Terri thought that this simple movement was... just to show off to Terri, as if the Fox knew of the series of sinful fantasies running through the Wolf's mind as he greedily drank up every inch of the Fox' perfect body. Reluctantly, Terri turned back to his drink. Anyone that hot would never waste their time with Terri.
[Besides, from the way he's dressed he's probably just after sex.]
That was Terri's cynical side talking. He was about to take a swig of his vodka when a silky, almost hypnotic voice made itself known over the music in his ear.
"Hi there."
Terri turned to the source of the voice... and almost fell out of his stool.
It was the Fox.
After recovering from his slight scare, he examined the Fox more closely. He was even more beautiful up close; his muzzle was carved like an angel and had a kind and slightly sexy half-smile gracing it. His hair, which was platinum blonde was styled in a coif, the fringe hanging just above his left eye. His ears were a little taller than normal, his right one having a single gold ring through it. His most fascinating feature was his eyes, which were an almost unnatural shade of light blue. Terri suddenly felt his throat go very dry.
"Um...Hey."
He managed to choke out. The Fox took the empty stool next to him. For a moment, the Wolf was mesmerized by the graceful manner in which he slunk into the seat, but he quickly recovered. The Fox regarded him with a curious smile.
"You look sad."
His accent was British and his voice was polished, making him sound like he was from a well-to-do backround.
"I-I do? Well..."
Terri surveyed his surroundings for a moment.
"I'm not really comfortable here."
The Fox chuckled, the sound resembling running water almost.
"Not to offend you but I can tell."
"No offence taken."
They regarded each other for a moment.
"Do you have a name?"
The Fox asked.
"Terri."
He said, sticking his hand out to shake. The Fox took it. His grip was firm but gentle and his fur was very soft.
"I'm Addrian."
He said.
[My God, even his name is beautiful.]
Terri thought to himself. The Fox' smile seemed to break out wider at this. Terri's cynical side was sprouting some very negative thoughts about the epitome of beauty sitting before him, but those thoughts went completely ignored, something that was very unlike Terri.
"Any particular reason why it seems your friends are having fun and you're not?"
Terri shrugged.
"I guess I'm just a big stick in the mud."
"Oh come on, I'm sure a handsome fellow like you knows how to have fun."
[What did he just say?]
"I... uh."
Addrian grasped Terri's free hand in his own Now Terri really was at a loss for all words.
"Care to dance?"
The Fox asked, gesturing to the crowded floor. Terri's speech returned with that question.
"I-I don't dance. I, er... Well I can't."
But Addrian was hearing none of it.
"If you can walk, you can dance. Besides, I think it is a lot better than watching other people have a good time."
Terri was about to protest further when he realized that Addrian was right. There was nothing the Wolf wanted more than to get on that floor, party the night away, tear this fox' clothing off and... Well, the rest is self-explanatory. Terri then realized that Addrian was still waiting for an answer.
"Er... Yeah. I'll dance."
With an effeminate "Yay!", Addrian took Terri's hand and led him onto the floor. Terri wound up becoming entranced by the sway of Addrian's finely chiseled rump as he ever gracefully walked himself and Terri onto the floor as a new song came on. Already, Terri was having second thoughts.
"Um, I don't know about this..."
"Don't worry, just follow my lead."
Addrian began to gyrate his perfect hips in time to the beat. Nervously, Terri followed suite. To encourage him, Addrian twirled around and grinded his behind up to Terri's crotch. It worked; the Wolf began to dance with a little more vigour, mouthing the song's lyrics as he went.
"Do you know what just started?
I just came here to party.
But now we're rockin' on the dance floor, actin' naughty.
Your hands around my waist,
Just let the music play.
We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face."
Feeling audacious, Terri placed his hands on Addrian's hips. the Fox simply chuckled and draped his hands around Terri's neck.
"See? You're having fun!"
Terri couldn't help but smile. He was enjoying himself. He was enjoying dancing with the most beautiful Fox he had ever seen, he was enjoying the green eyes of envy staring at him from all corners of the room. For the first time in a long while... Terri was happy. He began to laugh as they twisted and turned amidst the throng of dancers. Although they had only just met, Terri already felt something for the Fox that wasn't just lust. There was something mysterious about the Fox that made him almost irresistable. After dancing to two more songs, Terri and Addrian moved off the floor, the majority of the club's patrons still watching the Fox with lust and the Wolf with envy. They took their seats back at the bar, Terri panting a bit from the effort exerted on the floor. Addrian however looked completely unfazed; he wasn't even sweating. Terri took a sip of his drink, and almost choked on it when Addrian placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Let's get out of here."
The sexy Fox whispered. That voice... that silky, sensual, seductive voice... Terri just grinned like an idiot and nodded.
"Good."
Addrian grabbed him by the hand and dragged him to the exit. As they left, Terri could have sworn he heard a chorus of depressed sighs come from the patrons of the club.
Just across the street from the club was a small park. It was nothing fancy, it only took up a block but the grass was perfect, the oak trees were old and tall, the paths were paved with flawless bright red brick and at the center was a circle of benches surrounding a large fountain. Addrian led Terri across the street and past the wrought iron gates. Strolling along the path, Terri gazed at the array of flowers planted along the the verges of the path, the dew drops upon them glittering in the moonlight. It was a pretty sight, though it paled in comparison to a certain fox. A comfortable silence fell over the pair, until Terri cleared his throat.
"So um... I hope you don't mind me saying but... you don't seem like the kind of person to go clubbing dressed like a cocktease."
[Oh God! Real smooth Terri!]
The Wolf winced, steeled for the slap and the storming off. To his amazement and relief, Addrian laughed.
"Well... going out to clubs dressed like a cocktease as you so wonderfully put is basically the only thrill I can get out of my weekends. I lead an incredibly boring lifestyle you see, which is quite amusing, considering my family condition is, shall we say: more than financially adequate."
Terri nodded.
"So you have everything a man could ever want, but..."
Addrian turned to face Terri.
"...But not what I want."
He said somberly. Terri swallowed nervously as they finally reached the fountain. He cleared throat again to ask the million dollar question.
"And... W-What do you want?"
Addrian smiled and stepped foward, placing his hands on the Wolf's hips. Terri shivered at his touch. The Fox leaned closer until their noses were almost touching and whispered:
"To live life."
Addrian finally closed the distance and connected his soft lips with terri's.
Terri's eyes went wider than dinner plates, then closed to slits as he opened his muzzle for Addrian's exploring tongue. The Fox moaned into the kiss as he slid his hand under Terri's shirt to rub at his chest, flicking his fingers across his nipples. Terri just melted into Addrian's arms. His skin felt like it was on fire wherever the the Fox touched him. Finally Addrian broke the kiss, much to Terri's disappointment. The fox' muzzle had been the sweetest thing he had ever tasted.
"That was..."
Terri's smile faded as he looked into Addrian's eyes: They had changed from their luminous light blue to a swirling crimson red.
"Well, always leave them smiling."
Addrian said with a malevolent grin. He then-for lack of a better word- hissed, forced Terri's head to the side and sunk his fangs into his neck.
ARRRRRGH! What are you doing?! Stop... Please..."
Addrian took an iron grip on the Wolf's arms. Terri screamed as the bones in his arms were crushed to dust under the Fox' impossibly strong fingers. Addrian compressed his jaws, coaxing more blood out of the Wolf's veins and causing him to squirm in his grip. Terri was horrified to feel torrents of his own blood flow from his neck and soak his shoulder. at last Addrian retracted his teeth, threw his head back and howled. He then slammed Terri onto the fountain edge, Breaking the Wolf's spine and several ribs. Addrian wiped his muzzle on his jacket sleeve. He gazed forlornly at the broken wolf before him. He sighed.
"I'm sorry. Truly I am. I wish there was another way that I could satisfy my hunger but..."
Addrian paused for a moment, then burst out in sarcastic laughter.
"Oh who the hell am I kidding?! If I had the choice, which I do, I would do it over and over again. I'm sure you know by now that you're going to die so I thought that you should know that you are by far the most disgusting mortal I have ever fed on. I wanted to vomit when you touched me. Ugh!"
He spat on the wolf's face, then turned to leave.
"Be seeing you."
He called back. The Fox' behind was the last thing Terri saw before everything went black. Meanwhile the water fountain trickled on, blissfully unaware of the atrocity committed under it's gaze...
hope you like! :)
