Darkness is Light

He smelled them. The familiar scent drew him like a bee to honey;melting away from the Queen while she consulted Marius. He has been a lurking shadow since then, out of sight, biding his time with the self-proclaimed promise of violence. He knew they were far from fond of each other, and now they are in disarray while the blood of Yeshua coats the stone floors in a macabre mosaic of Mystique's making.

Now, when their alliance hangs by the most precarious of threads, is when he strike; and he will take her out, the strongest first.

Teeth and claws, bone and flesh, reveal themselves in split-second anticipation of deadly impact.

Fresh blood. Fresh meat. The smell, oh, the sweet, sweet smell.

Catacombs.

She follows the pack leader; yipping in excitement, nipping at his heels as she runs on all fours, lapping up the blood that flows from his ankles.

The alpha seems distracted with the blue girl - which is fine by Peter, because Logan would make an excellent specimen for later experimentation, with his capacity to heal.

Out of the darkness, he launches a fearsome right cross to introduce himself to Rahne.

"Bad doggie."

The punch flattens her to the floor. She rolls with it, shifting into her transitional form.

"Itsssy bitsssy ssspider." She grins past her fangs. Spicy meat. Yum.

She lunges forward, jaws wide, eager to take a bite right out of the middle. Hard muscle. Soft organs. Tainted blood. Her mouth waters at the thought.

"Didn't anyone tell you not to play with your food?"

He leaps for the ceiling, firing a burst of webbing for that open maw - the new, improved webbing laced with garlic essence and holy water.

Pain!

She rips at her mouth, clawing at the horrible, sticky webbing. The scent of burning flesh rises into the air.

Pain. Pain. Pain. Rip out his throat, drink the blood to quench the pain pain pain.

Her nostrils flare. Find him. Kill him. Eat him. Pain!

He's on the other side of the chamber now. "Hey, Wolfie - want to see a magic trick?"

[marvel-citizens.livejournal.com]

Pain!

Eat him first. Then kill him.

She spins towards the voice, her flesh smoking, a snarl rising from her throat.

"Magic?" Pain. Pain. Pain. "We have spells to keep you alive until you beg to die. Beg, beg, beg...gonna make you beg for it...."

"Watch my hands carefully. Now you see me.."

Thwip. Twin weblines shoot out from Spider-Man's hands, targeting the Wolf's eyes with pinpoint accuracy.

"..now you don't." He jerks back on the lines.

"Aaaaaaaagh!"

Rhane collapses to the ground, her hands clutching the burning, gaping holes where her eyes once were. Blood gushes from between her fingers, pouring down her face, matting in her fur.

At the end of his webline, the bloody orbs sizzle in the presence of holy water, smoking as they cook from the inside out until they finally explode.

"This is the part where, ordinarily, I'd comment about you not seeing the humor in the situation. Possibly, I'd even say aqueous humour, if I were feeling especially sassy."

He tosses one of his homemade napalm incendiaries to Rahne, covered in webbing so it'll stick.

"But since vampires murdered my family, your kind and I just don't see eye to eye."

The incendiary bursts, covering Rahne in the napalm.

Everywhere the holy water touches, her flesh sizzles and burns. She tries to claw off bloody hunks of her own skin in an attempt to get away from the horrible burning pain, but the webbing just glues her hands onto a thicker chunk.

She can't see anymore, but she can feel the flesh literally melting off her hands, off her back, slowly dripping off into a charred, sizzling puddle.

That howl of pain draws S-Man's attention... and he catches his predecessor's work.

"Holy shock..." he mutters to himself.

Eventually, this constant horror could become rote to him, but right now, seeing the man whose shoes he's trying to fill do THAT - her EYES are torn out!

That cold pit in his gut.

"Do you HAVE to torture them, man?! Just KILL them!"

[webslingah.livejournal.com]

"You didn't see what they did to my family. This is less than they deserve."

[spidey2099.livejournal.com]

"You're letting them suck you down to their level."

[webslingah.livejournal.com]

"It's not like I'm torturing a living thing, here. They're just objects that happen to move and talk."

"And have children and scream when you try to kill them and..."
