"It doesnt matter" Brago shrugged. "I kinda like it when a woman gets physical. Call me crazy..." he chuckled. "But dont you think you should top yourself off? your getting a little furious."

 Nike backed away, taking deep gulps of air as if she were swallowing something down, trying to bottle it. "Don't mock me, Brago. You have no idea what this implies," her voice sounded harsh in her own ears, her blood pounding. But she fought for control. My body, dammit. Mine."I do not want people to die, but they are. If I stand around with my thumb up my a** and do nothing like atwo-bit politician, more will. How long before the Weres see you as a threat, how long, Brago?"

"Calm yourself Nike. Now." Brago demanded. "My people are a threat. That is why the strong wear our restraints. We keep ourselves in check. There is nothing wrong with diplomacy. It ends up with less dead"

"Brago, I am not dismissing you, but I am telling you. They are not going to sit by and wait for me to talk to them. There instincts tell them to fight for territory and they will only show their bellies to someone who is stronger than they are. It is my duty to remind them becuse even a leader must give proof that they can still lead. Besides, only vampires and demons sit around tea and talk turkey." Nike sat in her chair, the chair that was starting to become a curse. Her head pounded and she was starting to feel the strainj of not eating.

"Nike, remain calm. What is going on with you? You here a few rumors about killing then your getting ready to slap the wolf leader around... This is not like you. You dont seem calm and its makeing you look unattractive.. One can not know what others will do, only anticipate it."

"Brago, I am calm," she hissed. I am not going to do anything until I have proof, but I cannot standby without preparing. Happen i show up at the retreat to talk, and I walk into a trap that will kill me. I am not alive today on what ifs."

Nike stood up and grabbed her coat. When she got to the door, she paused and turned around. "What is that to me when I carry 10,000 yrs of experience,"she said, her eyes flashing to that strange red. "You know where the window is," she called over her shoulder as she walked out.

 "Brago, she's dead, she doesn't have that time of month." Hana told him with a sigh. "But you are right, she is acting strange. I'm going to talk with her and then I'll meet you back at the mansion." Hana ran out after Nike. "Nike, please wait." She called as she caught up. "What is wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong Hana,"She said swallowing a growl. I'm fine. I just need to eat, then problem solved."

Nike was startled by Hana's true concern. She couldn't tell her the truth. Not yet. "I-it's the mantle. It's very heavy. It does things to me. I'm having a hard time with the hunger. I'm always hungry and if I don't eat, I..." at least some of it was true.
