There are times,Ethrach mused irritably,that immortality is so...tedious.

The serene sounds of the forest were an incessant irritant to his senses as he lay under the trees,idly considering tearing the place apart.
He had been going days without finding any worthy prey on the island and his nerves were grating.
He caught the briefest flicker of movement from beyond one of the pathways in the thicker underbrush.Quickly scenting the air,he smiled with feral satisfaction as the wind brought to him the scent of...innocence.
Hastily transforming into his human form,Ethrach made sure to compose himself.He quickly tied back his long silver hair and made sure that no leaves clung to the back of his long coat.

Time to have a little fun he thought with a sudden smile on his lips.

He approached the girl from the front,making sure she saw him well in advance.Her terror would be long in the making and he was nothing if not patient...

(mind if I join? =3 )

Nanaca rushed through the woods, opting to take a shortcut to get to her class on time, If she did become late it was a one way ticket to the basement, not a pretty option as far as students are concerned.

The forest was another thing on its own, she had her first run in with one of the islands more obscure residents here, and she wasnt up for a repeat performance. Her eyes flitted about as she ran, wary of her surroundings, trying to spot anything suspicious in the foliage, so much so that she didnt notice the person approaching her, summarily crashing into the stranger, she herself falling on her rear from the impact.

"AAH!! oof!"

Nanaca gazed up quickly, trying to discern if it was man or beast that she ran into, relieved to see that it was a human figure she had the most unfortunate pleasure of ramming against. He had silver hair, just like she did, although his was much... shinier.

"oh! s-sorry, I didnt mean to..", as if by clockwork, her face turns cherry red, and quickly she gazes off to the side.

(shure!)

Allowing a gentle smile to cross his sharp features,Ethrach kneeled before the hapless girl where she lay sprawled on the ground.Resisting the urge to use his natural voice he reverted instead to a quiet,compassionate tone.

"Are you all right,Miss?"

He took in her features in a blink,being careful to hide the savage hunger inside him as he noted the softness of her pale skin,the fleshy roundness of her breasts.

I will take such pleasure with this one! he thought savagely.

"May I ask where you're headed?These woods are dangerous to travel alone," he said,offering her his hand to pull her up.

"Um.. y-yes... sorry about that...." still glancing off to the side, only taking occasional glances at him. He held out his hand, and Nanaca shyly reached out for it, pulling herself up and dusting herself off. She squats down to gather her stuff, and also to avoid eye contact with this stranger.

"Heading to my class, Im a bit late, so I had to take this shortcut" she explains with a rather soft tone while collecting her possessions. She reaches for her sketchpad, but it was staying just out of range of her slender arms, making her over-extend and summarily causing her to fall forwards, letting out a small yelp as she plows the ground with her chest, any who are quick of eye get a fleeting view of her firm rear.

out of sheer embarrassment, she plops her face to the ground, unable to look at her spectator, "This is not my day".

Her clumsy antics aside,the girl had potential,Ethrach mused to himself as he took an unobserved peak at her backside.

Soon.Patience.You will be able ravage it soon.

Helping her up again,he cupped her chin in his hand and lifted her face to his.Locking her blue eyes with his slightly grey ones,he smiled at her reassuringly.

"No need to be embarrased,my dear,everyone stumbles every now and then."

Guiding her by the waste he led her down the path she had been running on.

"Now.I will escort you to your destination.These woods are like a second home to me and I may well be able to shorten your trip substantially.Besides,there are...risks in travelling alone."

Nanaca swallowed hard as those grey eyes pierced into her, her cheeks burning as he stared at her dirt-ridden face. This was a bit of a shocker, as Nanaca wasnt used to getting this much attention. She brushed herself off and looked down at the ground, nodding at him as he offered his assistance to walk her out of the woods.

He snaked his arm behind her, and soon they were treading along the forest path, Nanaca only able to look at her pacing feet as she was afraid of meeting that beautiful stare of his again.

"Second home? S-so does that mean you frequent here often?"

He smiled at her question.

"Nowhere else offers me such...pleasure," Ethrach answered.

The paths he chose kept them in full view of her location,but diverged to a secluded glade sheltered between a series of rock walls.Guiding her unerringly toward the fork that would take her either toward class or his trap,he paused with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Um,I hope you don't mind my asking,but..." he said with an embarrased hand to the back of his head.
"...I left some food in the glade beyond this fork.Would you,maybe,like to join me for a quick meal?"

Wait for it...almost there...patience now, he thought to himself,relishing in the anticipation once more.

Nanacas heart skipped a beat. She knew this little ploy all too well, and like what mothers say, "dont accept candies from strangers" or something of that sort. The campus lay just a few meters past the forest, she could probably outrun him if she wanted to. Probably.

"Im grateful for you kindness, sir, but I really should be getting to class"

Nanaca moves her hand toward the arm around her waist, trying to push it off and make him let go.

Busted! Ethrach thought with a flash of irritation.

Feeling her arm trying to free herself from his embrace,he tightened his grip.The amiable mask fell from his face as he resumed his usual expression of cold disdain.

"I see you have known the...affections of others of my kind before," he said in cold tone of voice.
"Pity."

Slowly,gradually he began to retake his natural form.His muscles burgeoned and he began to grow in size.The clothes he had been wearing melted away,were replaced by the armored silver scales of his true lineage.His hair grew longer,wilder and as he exploded into full size he uttered a roar from his fanged maw that emptied the forest of all creatures and sent the distant students running for the relative safety of the school.

She didnt know if she screamed. She might have after seeing his monstrous form rise above her, but his roar was drowning out every sound. She stood rooted to the spot, fear had overrun her entire body as she looked at the silver behemoth, eyes wide open, mouth agape, the sight both terrifying and unbelievable.

Inhaling deeply the sweet currents of fear that drifted from Nanaca,Ethrach scooped her up into one clawed hand. He slowly lifted her toward his face and once more locked eyes with her.Deep blue to blazing silver.

"Come,child.Let's play," he said quietly in his monstrous,low and rumbling voice.

His reverberating footsteps shook the ground as he stomped off for the secluded glade,his prize still clutched in one clawed hand.Her struggles were amusing enough,but what lay ahead would surely give them more energy.

"Shall we release you from these cunbersome clothes?We wouldn't want you constricted now,would we?" he taunted cruelly.

She bolted the moment she started to reach for her, but it was to little too late as his massive hand engulfed her petite frame in one swoop.

"Gyaaah!!! Let me go!!!"

She beat on his finger with her fists, only managing to make her hands sore as his hide took the beating with little effort. Once that didnt work, she went and attempted to pry herself loose from his grip.

Her tiny hands clawing at his fingers,her pleas for help...Ethrach shuddered with pleasure.This was fighting spirit!None before had shown such admirable efforts at escape,and though he was impressed,he had reached a threshold with his patience.
They reached the glade soon enough and still her struggles continued.Taking her by the ankle he let her dangle upside down between his thumb and forefinger.Her skirt fell toward her waist,revealing the underwear beneath.He laughed as he saw the expression on her face.
Blushing,furious and...petulant.

"Do you know what I am about to do to you,girl?" he asked suspisciously and idly began plucking the bottons from her blouse with the claw on his other index finger.

"EEEEE!!!"

Nanacas world turned upside down as the lumbering beast held her wrong side up, her platinum tresses waving about as they swayed underneath. Hurriedly she put her hands up to her skirt, covering her unmentionables as she hung there, she wasnt about to give it a free look.

even with her in that position she wouldnt give up, starting to kick at his fingers, shed sooner risk breaking her neck than to give up to this beast. And as he started to part her blouse, she kicked even harder, trying to discourage it from going any further.

"Let! me! GO!!"

She screamed for him to let her go and all Ethrach could do was chuckle.

"I was hoping you'd say that."

He ran the claw of his index finger all along the length of her blouse.The delicate fabric was shredded to pieces and drifted daintily to the ground.
