Paul had already opened his mouth to offer reasonable arguments for a peaceful solution to the conflict, but at that moment Mrs. Stormbridge jumped on the table with a roar and drew her claws. Lan didn't wait for an invitation any longer, too. She growled, following suit, and pushed away from the chair next to her, landed on the edge of the table. In the next second panther leaped and knocked the girl with her whole body to the ground.
" Sweet Jesus F*ck!" - screamed Paul, bouncing back. - "Why the heck is she black ... and a cat?"
"You know, boy, it sounds kind of racist!" - Came Mr. Boyle's slightly mocking voice. Both shifters discreetly moved away from the table and now stood nearby, quietly watching the two women, or rather the panther and the she-wolf roll around on the ground trying to seize each other's throats.
Paul looked in horror at the two men, cool as cucumbers, who were watching the fight with interest, as if it was a common thing. Add some popcorn, and you get a perfect picture.
"You are not going to do anything?" - Paul demanded angrily, approaching them - "They will kill each other."
Mr. Boyle took a deep breath, expressing his annoyance. Mr. Benné, on the other hand, turned to the guy and patted him soothingly on the shoulder.
"Calm down, boy, this is an ancient tradition. Among the shifters, it is believed that a person can be understood the best in a fight. The nature of a character is strongly revealed at this moment. I am sure that as soon as Tonia gets her answer, she'll immediately ... "
His words drowned in a wild roar. Lana managed to wriggle out from under the panther and escaping from sharp fangs, jumped, pushing off from the edge of the table and bit the cat in the nape of her neck hard. Panther tried to get the she-wolf off her back with claws, but the wolf held for dear life, sinking the claws in a flash.
Paul clenched his fists and was ready to shout, supporting Lana, as the black beast jumped sharply, turned in the air and fell back down onto the stone step near the wall, crushing the she-wolf under herself. Lana howled in pain, letting go of the black beast's hides.
Meanwhile, the huge cat promptly rolled away to the side and not letting the opponent recover, attacked again. Lana barely had time to slip under the claws and a fanged maw, jumping back. But luck didn't last long for her, and a massive black paw hit a wolf in the face, throwing Lana into the wall. The white wolf yelped dropping on the floor and started to shack its head. The sharp claws left three shallow wounds on the muzzle, that was bleeding profoundly.
Lana was disoriented for a second from the intense pain and blood spurting into her eyes. Stepping back, the she-wolf rested her back against the wall, trying to recover. Panther clung to the floor, preparing for the last jump. Second and the cat pushed off the ground ...
At this moment Lana suddenly turned into a human form. The she-wolf seemed to flow in the form of a girl like a liquid. Without even stopping a motion she reached the nearest chair with her hand and hit the panther right in the face with it using all of her straight. The hit was so hard that the black beast spun in the air and fell backward.
It all happened so fast that Paul could not even understand at first why the wood splinters splashed in all directions, was it an explosion? Of a chair? And why the cat dramatically changed its trajectory and flew off to the side, tumbling and rolling on the ground. He turned a shocked look at the place where he saw a she-wolf just a second ago, but instead of her, there was a naked girl.
Lana shoved aside the remains of the chair and releasing her claws, stalked to the panther, that was still lying on the ground. The feline, stunned, shook her head, trying to focus, a trickle of blood flowed from her mouth. Seeing the approaching girl, the cat bared her fangs and at the same moment grimaced. It seems Lana has managed to break her jaw. And now she could not even open her mouth. This infuriated the animal even more. She raised herself on all four paws and holding the girl in sight, slowly began to circle around her pray, looking for a weak spot for the last attack.
But Lana had no plans to wait until next attack. Her face was blank, and the eyes were full of rage. As if she finally let go of herself and let the beast took over completely. Now there was only one thought in her head. Kill!
She stopped for a moment and then suddenly rushed at the beast, as if not realizing the danger. Panther hesitated, not expecting such a crazy move. But the old woman was in a rage too. She needs to teach this snotty girl a lesson, even if it will be a severe one. She snarled and leaped at the stupid girl. Their body met halfway.
They both fell on their sides as if clutching each other in mortal embraces. The black cat's claws pierced the girl's tender skin, leaving deep cuts on her back. But Lana, as if not feeling pain, suddenly transformed her face and plunged her sharp fangs into the unprotected neck of the councilwoman, wrapping her jaws around the panther's throat.
The feline tried to wrangle out, but Lana held on, sinking her fangs even deeper with every move of the desperate beast. The panther wheezed and froze.
"What the hell is going on here ?!" - a loud male voice thundered in the silence of the hall making everyone halt. The men jumped in surprise, and the fighters instantly rolled away from each other, using this opportunity to escape from each other. Paul turned and met Greg's stare full of explosive rage. The guy literally smoked with anger. His eyes found a bloody figure of Lana, and a long knife gleamed in his hands. He was definitely ready to kill anyone who stood in his way.
" I told you that humans are often underestimated!" - Mr. Boyle whispered, looking at Greg with interest. - "What a nice spaceman!"
Paul turned a bewildered look at the old shifter, who even licked his lips, watching intently as Gregory hurried to his girlfriend. Mr. Bennet just rolled his eyes, shook his head and ran to Mrs. Stormbridge.
"How did you get here?" - Lana croaked weakly, rising on her arms. She looked pretty awful. The face and back were covered in blood, and the hands were shivering, barely able to withstand the weight of her body.
She tried to rise, but one of her hands immediately snapped, and the girl almost fell face forward on the floor. But Greg was faster. Lana did not even get how, but a second later she was already in his arms. So warm! Her eyes began to close on their own.
"You'll get dirty." - was the last thing the girl managed to squeeze out before the consciousness left her and she went limp in the hands of her Mate.
