She Screamed Once, Then All Was Silent

The look of surprise flooded the soot-pelted wolf's face and Raissa felt a rush of satisfaction. He leapt back and out of the way of her paw, his face forming into a laugh at his own near accident. He introduced himself as Slade Nightmare and Raissa let her hackles down and her ears up, her snarl forming into a half smile half smirk.

"Pleasure. I'm Raissa" she drawled, her words heavy with her accent. She flicked her ears and her smirk grew wider, "And it is wonderful to have you at my service." she chuckled.

Raissa sat back on her haunches and studied him for the first time. He had strong shoulders and seemed to have the air of a ruler, his golden eyes glowing with authority. Next to him she felt small. She wondered who would win if it came down to a fight. She was fast and hard to grab do to her small size but he looked extremely powerful, probably quick too.
