Chapter 3 - Nixre

"Mmmmmm...." I lick my claws.
I bend down and pick up the carcass. I fling it over my shoulder to take back and skin. My ears perk up again. I hear a whispering wind behind me. I freeze and turn around slowly. I see a dark figure, dark eyes. I stand rooted to the spot. Wait. I look a little closer. Not dark. Not bloodthirsty. Just scared. I sense fear surounding it. It's scared of me, just like I am of it. I set the deer carcass down.
"Hi." I say quietly and gently, trying to coax it out into the open.
"Hello." says a feminine voice.
"Were you watching me?"
"Yes."
"Are you a girl?"
"Yes. Are you?"
"Yes. My name's Eina."
"Mine's Nixre." she says, alighting to the ground.
I pick up the deer carcass again and head towards my cave. Nixre follows me in silence. We get there and I set the deer down. I whip out my skinning knife and begin skinning it.
"Um... Not to be rude, but, what are you?" Nixre asks curiously.
"I was about to ask the same thing." I say not looking up from my work. "*sigh* I'm a werewolf." I say quietly.
"I'm a vampire." Nixre says looking at her feet.
I finish skinning the deer. I stretch the skin out to dry and begin scraping the meat off the bones. I toss some in a pot of water and drape the rest on suspended sticks to dry out in the fire's smoke. I shove the bones aside to deal with later.
