   Bane gave an amused little smile. Turning a deaf ear to the brute's loud mouthed threats and insults,he chose to address the vampiress instead. ''There is some truth in what you say,I suppose. Neither of us are in any position to judge the other. Both of us are dangerous abombinations and monstrosities in the eyes of the world. And your kindness does touch me.'',
   
   He reached a hand back to run it through his tangled hair in a reflective manner. ''Beggars cannot be choosers. I am in no position to turn my back on the hospitality you offer me. The White Glove stalks the night and I have no wish or desire to confront them. So let me express the deep gratitude and the thanks which I owe you. But there is one thing more I would ask of you,though you have already been more genarous to me than others have. Please refrain from calling me a demon. I am no pureblood who carries the undiluted demon heritage in him. A human I was raised and a human I shall ever be. My demon ancestory means nothing to me,for I am twice the man your wolf pet will ever be.''

   I stood up and seized Bane by the throat and hauled his carcass into the air with one arm, my finger nails slowly grew into long razor sharp clawss that pressed against his soft fleshy throat. I stood there naked, scars covering my body, and I was quite the man I assure. "Make my day halfling, know this I came of my own free will, I have lived longer than you most likely will. I am a Lone Wolf and I am my own man, and if ever again insinuate that I am anyone's pet I won't kill you I will unman you, you spineless pondscum."
   
   I held back the urge to bodily throw it into Hunter's standing curtain. The heart thundered in my ears. My fist slowly crushed his throat then I let him drop, I held back a kick to his curled up form, I backed away waiting for the youngster to get up.

   Bane pulled himself back onto his feet with trembling hands,his heart juddering madly in his chest. Gods,he had been so sure that the brute would haved killed him then and there. Unlikely that a were and a Lone wolf at that,a pariah even among those other flea bitten eaters of human flesh,would have thought himself bound by the laws of hospiitality.
   
   It would be wise not to say anything that would send that wild thing into another violent outburst. If this happened again,the were would kill him in cold blood. He was as sure of this,as he was of the fact that the vampiress would sink her fangs into his throat if she decided that she was famished enough to devour a guest,regardless of how hard she tried to convince him that she wan't like the rest of those undead leeches. An eloquent,charismatic vampire was still a vampire. No doubt her victims would testify to that,were they able to.
   
   Yes,uttering a single word that would upset either one of these two,was nothing short of sucide. He should remain silent. It would be the wise thing to do,improving his chances of surviving the terrors of Moonloch castle the way it did.
   
   Inconvenient then,that the demon in him didn't see the wisdom of that. With the human part of him momentarily stunned into pure panic by the were's violent asssult,it was that dark twisted half of him that took over.
   
   He let out a low growl,one menacing as that of any lycan and glared savagely at the one who had dared to manhandle him in such a vicious and callous manner. ''Careful,wolf boy. You don't want to see just how much demon I can get. The fiend in me is not as polite and understanding as the human,I assure you.''

   Hunter watched the conflict with a concerned expression on her face. Whether the two tore each other to pieces or suddenly shook hands should have been no concern of hers, but something told her the former of these two situations would not do any of them any good.
   
   "Enough!" she said aggressivly stalking towards Bane. "Make one more harrassing comment and you will have two pining for your blood. You hold no command here". By now she had calmed a little. She gave Bane a reprimanding look. "As I see it, you are both standing on my territory, unmarked or not" she said sending this last comment to Fearno with a small smile. "And as such...Can I formally request a small verbal contract from you both that you will refrain from any more heated arguments and/or attempted blood spilling?". She looked at the two with her head to one side, ever the mistress this night, or morning as it was fast becoming.
   
   She bent down and picked up the blanket and tossed it to Fearno. "I have a small feeling none of us will sleep this day, so sit down and at least make yourelves comfortable. You will both learn the errors of your ways by this evening, for you have both yet to see a Vampire suffering from a severe case of sleep deprivation" she said trying to lighten the situation. She sat down on one of the lounges tucking her feet under and rubbing her hands to warm them.

   Instantly,Bane was all polite contrition,humbly bowing to the vampiress. With the steel glinting in her eyes the way it was just a moment ago,he thought it most prudent to to put on a repentful face. Why anger the host who took you in,by being stupidly stubborn?
   
   ''I am deeply sorry for making a threat of violence against another guest of yours,lady. It was a rude and flagarant violation of your hospitality,one that will not happen again. My tounge can sometimes get the better of me. When I was a child,my dear mother would often tell me that unless I learnt to rein it in,it would make life very difficult for me. Twenty years since then,I see that she was more right than I could have known.''

   "It is all forgiven" she said looking at Fearno hoping he was thinking similar thoughts, because she felt she herself could not contain his anger should he decide to attack Bane.
   
   "And should you call me by my name and not the pleasantries you have chosen I may even decide to go and see what I can find for you to eat. I doubt there is much...You will have to wait until tonight in either case". After seeing his expression she added, "No, not human flesh" she said almost smiling.

   Bane begun chuckling ''For a moment there,I was sure that you were going to tell me all that there was to eat were a couple of corpses,lad-,I mean Hunter. Hunter. A rather unusual name for one of the fairer sex,if you don't mind my saying so.''

   Hunter nodded. "My father was a stubborn man. He had chosen the name long before my mother even fell pregnant, and even when I proved to be female he would not be persuaded otherwise. In either case he has not been proven wrong" she said attempting to jest.
   
   "I doubt you will find much in this stone prison. But perhaps tonight you can hunt, or if you win the favour of Fearno he could indeed find something to suit your fancies. But of course that is for Fearno to decide" she added looking at her friend.
