The night had pushed in late and the glow of the fireflies flickered in his lazily made temporary den. He laid there waiting, counting the time as it passed in hours. He knew he had to wait for his mother to go to sleep before he slipped out on a meaningless adventure. He was often trying to escape his mother's grasp and he was growing more and more comfortable leaving and wandering. He wasn't scared of her any more. He was done with her abuse. He was realizing now how grown he was and he didn't need her anymore. He just didn't feel like it was the right time to leave. Until tonight. His paws carried his weight out of his den neighboring his mother and he would start to wad through the grasses surrounding the lake as silently as he could. This was it. He would find the Abraxas, he would join them. And they would kill her if she showed and if they knew the treachery she preformed. Walk "Talk" Think

She slept lightly these nights. She knew Kefka was escaping the bubble she placed him in. As devious as she was, she knew he was dangerous. And maybe that was a reason she pulled him away from Kaine and from the Abraxas and kept him away from everyone. No. She didn't want to live that life as much as she loved Kaine. She couldn't use Kefka as an excuse out of the mistakes she had made. She heard the rustling in the grasses outside the den and wouldn't take even a moment to think of what could be outside because she knew. Her body rose and her joints hurt from the day. She was growing too old to care for Kefka but she couldn't find someone to entrust him with. She needed someone that could hold him back and keep him in line. But it was impossible to find a suitor. He was dangerous to everyone and no one else could handle him. As she saw his large figure crossing the plains through the light of the fireflies and would immediately sprint in his direction. "Hey!" She shouted but her voice quieted as she neared him, "Where do you think you're going?" Her voice stern as a mother should be. She never felt bad for scolding him, it was for the good of everyone. Walk "Talk" Think

He no longer had any thoughts on his mind as he crossed the lands of the lake heading west. It wasn't that he would feel safe in the boarders of Thalia's pack, but that he knew once he crossed, Agria wouldn't have a hold on him anymore. She'd be history. And dead. It was a joyous thought but his expression was stale as he sought his mission. When Agria's voice hit his ears he wouldn't stop, hoping he'd lose her in the night. But she was now beside him in his steps and he would only stop to look at her through anger for a couple seconds without a word and begin to fall step after step again away from the life he lived. Walk "Talk" Think

He ignored her. What. The. Fuck. She was quick to go after him, jumping in front of his huge body without fear that he would do anything to her. "Stop!" She screamed as he continued on to run her over in his wake. "STOP!" She jumped up and pushed her paws onto his chest making him see her. She need his attention. She needed him to stay. She needed to keep him locked away from the rest of the world and this was her only task the last three years. She followed his midnight gaze even as dark as it was. She knew him better than anyone, better than himself. He would never understand this, and she would never understand how such a tyrant came from her even as she raised him herself. She didn't do anything wrong, he was born like this. But he couldn't help it either. Maybe this was her punishment for wanting a happy life alongside someone. Her life was never easy and it seemed she would die that way. Unhappy and undesired. Kaine would kill her if he ever found her and she spent all these years suffering over a mentally ill son. She didn't have time to start over or fuck around or anything other than take care of this prick. She was out of time. Walk "Talk" Think

Her voice... was annoying. He was done with it. Her pushing on his chest felt like nothing on him, but it got his attention. He'd stare at her a moment, waiting for her to say something. Whatever it was she felt so desperate to keep him here. But she had nothing. Dumb bitch. He swiveled on his hind legs, now stomping back towards their den but in no intention to go back into the prison. He branched off at the lake heading in the opposite direction, maybe he could lose her going around the lake and maybe even throw her off to his destination. But he was tired of her. He thought everything that was him was perfect, every thought, every action. Nothing was wrong to him. Where she saw him as damaged and dangerous, he found himself powerful and superior, in more than the physical world. He didn't know Agria felt him so menacing and life threatening to everyone else. But he felt if they weren't strong enough to take him head on, they needed to be cleansed. And he felt he deserved everything he ever wanted especially after Agria beat and abused him. He needed a life with no troubles and no consequences. And he could feel a little bit of himself being set free every time he left Agria and went on his own. Walk "Talk" Think

He paused and she... had nothing to say. She just stared blankly at him. She couldn't form the words. And he would be off back towards the den. She sighed with relief, it wasn't as difficult as she was anticipating. That was, until he veered of at the rim of the lake. "Wait!" She'd trot off after him. He was acting like a young child and it was actually unlike him to be so immature. Or maybe she was being immature, not that she'd admit. "Kefka!" She was more pleading than stern now, "You can't leave! What about your father!?" It was a lie, she didn't know where Kaine was. But if it would hold him at bay at least for a little while longer. She knew Kefka always had that piece missing out of him, but she would never be able to regain it for him. She left Kaine out of his life ever since she abandoned the Abraxas, only when he asked her ear off she gave him a little snip bit about him. But she knew Kaine was a big puzzle piece of his life that he wanted back and wanted to rekindle. Walk "Talk" Think

He was furious with her plea, "What about him!?" He would come to a halt but not be able to look her in the eye. She didn't care about his father, he knew she didn't anymore at least. She was so involved in keeping himself chained that she had no feeling left in her lifeless heart. "Kaine is dead!" he argued, not having the whole truth of that statement. "I spoke to an Abraxas. They didn't know who he was." He backed away from her in disgust, he wanted to be done with her. She didn't have anything worth giving him. She wouldn't tell him any more about his father that meant anything. And she couldn't return him for that matter. He knew this. "Kaine would want you dead." He was spiteful but he knew this was why they ran for so many years. "I want you dead. I wish I could deliver your corpse to him." Kefka had never spoke like this to his mother. He was respectful with an occasionally teenage annoying sigh. But he was at his end and he didn't care anymore. There was a lot more he could say but he wouldn't. It would just drag her closer behind him. Walk "Talk" Think

His booming voice almost frightened her as he remained silent the whole time she tried to stop him. And his words were not as hurtful as he may intended. Anyone else to tell her that Kaine would want her head on a silver platter she would have put them in the dirt. But coming from Kefka it meant almost nothing. He barely knew his father. But what made her blood boil was the fact that he met with another Abraxas. "You met one of them?" her voice hissed now spiting with venom. She knew letting loose would break him, and now she felt destroyed. "I should have killed you when I stole you. I wouldn't be here then. I could move on with my life. I wouldn't have to deal with a little ungrateful bastard child." Now she was just talking out of her ass. But if he wanted to think he was all big and bad then so be it. Let his ego be bruised. Maybe it would help him, maybe it wouldn't. She didn't care anymore. Walk "Talk" Think

That was it. He couldn't handle her bitching anymore. She acted like he wasn't grown, like he couldn't make decisions on his own. She needed to know he was far superior over her and this was his last chance to do so. Kefka immediately lashed out and sought to to grab the whole crown of Agria's head in his jaws. His neck twisted to the right and he wanted get his teeth in a perfect square with her head. He'd latch down regardless and went to twist her entire head to his left in a brutal fashion. He wasn't play games anymore with her. They weren't training or sparring anymore. This was a serious battle. And afterwards nothing would be the same.

When All Is Said And Done I Will Be The One To Leave You In Your Misery ________________________________________ She was honestly taken by surprise when he attacked. She didn't think what she said would be so hurtful. And she had gravely mistaken the intention of her son. Her jaw  sprung opened as she saw his tongue coming straight in her eye sight. She clamped her jaw down on his jowls from the inside of his mouth and when he twisted it wasn't what she was expecting. She yelped in pain as he twisted her, her grip becoming free and her lips slipping out from his grip. She immediately went to counter after recovering with a bite towards his windpipe just where his neck flexed at the base. All of her defenses aligned to protect her eyes, ears, her sensitive underbelly. She was scarred to know he was a lot more powerful than she was especially in her old age. But she wouldn't bend into the idea of that and just let him win. She wanted to believe she could over power him in the end.

Agria's teeth against his jowls and his own teeth was painful. More pain than he had ever experienced. But his twist wouldn't go unfollowed, he'd worry about the pain later. Agria would slip from his teeth and he knew he would have to be quick to respond as he didn't have time to linger on her escape. She grabbed hold of his windpipe and with a choke he closed the space between his cheekbones and the base of his throat hoping to squeeze around her skull with his much more massive muscles. His teeth bared, he sought to grab hold of the very top center of her neck around the spine and yank her upward with such great force he hoped to throw her across the ground. He kept his defenses minimal in the heat of all the anger rushing through his veins.

When All Is Said And Done I Will Be The One To Leave You In Your Misery ________________________________________ It was frightening as his bones and muscles closed in around her skull and it was almost a relief when she could breathe again other than the fact that she was practically being thrown across the dirt. She wouldn't fall even though her balance was compromised. Her paw pads slid across the wet ground and just as she felt her footing, she immediately went forward and bent the front half of her body down and aimed to grab hold of Kefka's right side ribs, just behind his front elbow. Her chest and legs swung forward hoping to take him out at the knees with as much force as she could. The only way she could actually win this battle would be to make him sustain enough pain and injury to sedate him. But she wasn't feeling very lucky tonight. Agria had a much clearer head as she kept herself protected with her defenses as Kefka just stomped around like an angry titan only seeking to harm her.

He was disappointed that Agria wasn't on the ground and cowering where he could do as he wanted to her. This would be her last lesson in life if it was even that, and he knew she'd leave him alone after this. He was breaking the bars of his prison every time he grabbed her or threw her. It was exhilarating. She'd bite down on his sensitive ribs and he let out a growl in pain and reflex would make his head jolt in to her for punishment. He would now go to draw his teeth against her face in an effort to get his blind in, but the angle was not easy and he was pulling his body out away from her jaws that were shredding his skin. He wanted to end this now, it was about time he got her down to suffer.

When All Is Said And Done I Will Be The One To Leave You In Your Misery ________________________________________ His bite was well off as he tried to reach around to grab her, and she wouldn't let her grip loosen if that meant he couldn't reach her. But it was close. And when she saw the opportunity, she let go instantly and reached to grab hold of the front bone on his thigh. She wanted to get her face far enough away from his teeth and still inflict more pain in another part of his body. As Kefka saw this as a lesson to teach her to back off, she would find it disgraceful for him to lose such an emotional battle to him. And this "lesson" would be nothing more than to teach him not to fuck around while his life depended on it.

His mother was able to grab hold of the thin skin on is back leg and would instantly throw his body away from her, her grip ripping apart on his leg. He still faced her, not one to admit defeat so easily but the shine in his eye showed a little disappointment in himself. Agria lunged up at him with her paws landing on his shoulder and if nothing else his labored breath tired him into submission on his side. He pridefully lay there as he awaited her to maim him, blind him as he had attempted to her. Her teeth lashed out around his throat. And he did think to himself that this was it. And if this was the way to go, so be it. But he was released and Agria's paws let go off of his shoulder. His eye opened to gaze at a non-existent wolf no longer ontop of him. Not too quickly but he wouldn't waste time before rising and seeing her walking off back to the den. What a coward. He wouldn't even take a second before stalking after her, a burning fire through his eyes. She was stupid to turn her back on him, and she was going to regret it now. -Exit Kefka to Next Thread- Walk "Talk" Think

Agria tasted Kefka's blood in a bit of disgust as he ripped away from her grasp. She stared him down for a moment as he did to her, not sure what the next move would be. She needed to scare him, remind him that she ruled over him. And that he wouldn't ever again think to over power her again. She leaped up toward his large body, it gave in to her smaller form easily and she was satisfied knowing he was ready to take the punishment. She lunged to his throat around his windpipe, wanting him to believe she would kill him in an instant. And though she knew he was a dangerous wolf and she believed she had the reigns back on him, a small part of her didn't want to do this to her son. Her grip tightened around his throat as if ready to rip out his jugular but just as quickly she let go and released him under her little weight. He would follow her back to the den, and he would do it obediently. -Exit Agria to Next Thread- Walk "Talk" Think
