Jinx

Jinx could sense the security on this house. "there is the kind of place that I would like" she said to herself with a smirk. She sensed the other dogs, they smelled like hier old pack.She also could sense the motion detectors, but she was not worried she just maneuvered around each of them until she got to the door, then, she sat down and waited.

Malachi * Jack * Ripper * Griffen

It wasn't long before both Ripper and Jack came rushing towards the scent of two new comers. To...Female new comers. The first male was a rottweiler, and he launched himself up onto the deck with great ease that betrayed his massive size. Hello, dove. He murmered to Jinx, his voice soft and liquidy.

Malachi was just closing the door when he saw both Jinx and Ripper. Keep your friend on the porch, big guy. I gotta entertain some people. Then he stepped inside.

Jack, however, was slipping silently through the trees, his foot steps making no sound what so ever. He came from behind water drops, and when he spoke it was with a velvety richness. Is there something you need? The doberman was large, but thin to his counter part. Mainly for breed standard.

Malachi was heading back inside, a smirk on his face. About to reply to Cassidy, when Griffen came from the kitchen with....Two people in his hands. Both male, and both looking very sheepish. Friends of yours, I'm assuming? Griffen said mildly. The two males blushed deeply. Jason, Georgio! there you are. Been looking around everywhere for you. Griffen let the two men drop, and both flew out the door. Ripper glanced at them as they ran by, but there was no buzzing on his color so nothing was wrong.

Mainly we have parties, get drunk, play poker. Malachi said. He seemed so easy going. Until you looked into those blue eyes. Play with our little gang. Quietly he observed her reaction. He wasn't kidding about a gang. He was talking about a Mafia. No childs play here.

Cassidy

She eyed the incoming Griffen, a faintly amused smile on her face as he unceremoniously deposited the two young men on the floor. A low laugh escaped her as they fled like whipped puppies, and she turned that enticing smile up to Malachi, voice soft. Well if it's playing with gangs you're up for, I might be of some assistance. I have my... uses.

And she turned her eyes up and back to meet Griffen's, smiling more broadly, though her words were for both men. Really now, did you think that an innocent face reflected the soul? And she removed the knife from the top of her boot, giving it an expert flick to send it sailing across the room, barely missing Malachi's left ear as it planted itself squarely in the floor by the door. And that wasn't a miss. She grinned and rose, prying the blade out of the floor. It had barely nicked the surface, but then she hadn't wanted to damage it.

Moving slowly back toward the chair, she plopped back down, saying,Any questions?

Jinx

Jinx turned her head calmy as the dog aproached. She eyed him up and down before replying. "Hello poppit" she replied with a sneering grin, her pearly white, razor sharp canines gleaming in the light.

Waterdrops

Waterdrops did not jump when she heard the other behind her. She just stoob up quietly, turned to face the other, pulled back her lips into a snarl to show she had no fear of the smaller. "I do indeed, but not from you" she said, her voice soft and silvery, her blue and white fur ripling with every movement.

Jack and the Ripper

Griffen sat down across from Sarah, his leg propped up on the ottoman in front of him. Really, now? He murmered. He was about to speak when suddenly a ringing occured. Malachi grinned at his friend and opened up his own cell phone. Yeah? He said. With each word he heard, his face grew colder and harsher until it was a stony mask. Alright. I'm on my way. Yeah. Yeah I'll tell him. Dude, I said I'd tell him, you can trust me, man. Then he snapped the phone shut. Malachi stood, liquid grace as he did so, and said softly Theres a slight problem with one of the men. Apparently, someones not paying up. So, I'm on my way. You stay here and relax. Then he walked out the door. Griffen just shook his head. My family and his family know one another very well. Mafia brothers, you might say. Tell me, Miss Cassidy. Do you shy away from such things? Those mettalic eyes were on hers again, cold and hard.

As Malachi stepped over him, Ripper looked back to Jinx. You want a job, I'm assuming, yes? Well, we'll give you and your little friend a test drive. Theres two men in there. The one that just went by, and the one inside. When there are others with them, you let them by. Otherwise, you pin them. If they make any....Idiotic moves, you attack them. Understood? Good. He didn't even wait for her answer as he leapt off the porch. Either come with me, or stay on the porch and pray they accept a house pet. He sneered at her.

Jack however, was much kinder on Waterdrops. If you want a job, you take it up with the humans. They feed well, and theres a warm place to sleep. If not, I'd get out of here before the Others find you. They're not as kind as I am. Predatory eyes could be seen no more then fifteen yards from where they were standing. No one would attack with him here. Yet.

Jinx

Jinx stood up and followed Ripper, snarling in an unsatisfied way, as she did so. She liked him.

Waterdrops

"where will I find the humans?" asked Waterdrops as she eyed her surroundings, unafraid.

Jack the Ripper

Jack gave Waterdrops a cunning smile, and said softly Go up to the house and wait. Eventually a human will be out. Have fun getting there. Then he melted into the trees. Those predatory eyes began to move closer, and the low growls of other dogs could be heard. Jack had made it a test for Waterdrops. If she could get there unharmed, then she could stay.

Ripper glanced into the woods where Jack was. My colleage may have another as well. You shall meet him soon. Quick and to the point. He began to trot forward, his muscles bunching beneath his dark coat. The house remains pretty active at night. During the day its quiet, but you must watch for intruders. Stay with me, and I will show you humans you can't attack. He circled to the back of the house where a huge dog kennel could be seen. This is where we sleep. When the weather gets bad, they put us under house for warmth. He held a russian accent, and it was apparent that he was Malachis dog. Not pet. Dog.

Cassidy

Pearly whites flashed in her most charming smile as she watched Malachi leave. She gave a vague flip of her hand that was almost a wave, and then returned her attention to Griffen. Me? Heavens, no. Do you think I learned that trick by being a sweet little school girl? No, love, I'm an old gang member myself, trained in the use of blades of all kinds, and hand-to-hand. Dagger's my best, but other things work just as well.

And teeth flashed again, a soft, husky laugh hitting the air. She did not give him the name of the gang yet, for she did not know of his settling with Cryptic Silver. No, better to wait and find that out before she let that kind of information loose.

Waterdrops

Waterdrops emidiatly turned to face the oncomming dogs, her eyes gleaming with delight. She could hear them coming, she pulled back her lips showing her pearly white fangs. She got down, ready to lunge, watching as the first dog aproached.

Jinx

Jinx clamly followed him drinking in every word, but, as soon as they reached the kennels she winced as if in pain, shutting her eyes tightly as memories flashed before her eyes. "do they ever use chains?" she said after claming down a bit, she sounded as if she longed for it. Her voice was silvery and had an almost russian accent as well, but something, something else was mixed in. She looked back at the kennels, again wincing, as she waited for his reply.

Griffen * Jack * Ripper

Ripper glanced back to Jinx, and something came into those eyes. Something like he knew all ahout what she was going through. No. He said softly. His eyes went back to the kennels, and he said in his normal voice The kennels you go to sleep when you wish. Normally the only time we get locked in there is during a high priced party. A couple months ago one of the Others attacked some guy, and got beaten. You learn quick here, or you perish. He began to talk some more, showing her the area where they guarded. Its busy here, all the time. Just watch out.

Two dogs seemed to melt from the trees, there eyes glowing as they came towards Water drops. Make it to the house, pretty girl, and we let you live. The first was a female, of mixed breed. Her coat was solid silver, but her eyes were the blackest of black. Unknown Origin, indeed.

The next was a male, a rather large wolfish looking male. His teeth gleamed in the falling light, and his eyes were that of solid silver. Ready to attack and kill he was.

Griffen smiled darkly at his female counterpart. Katanas became my strong point. Blades in general. Malachis strong suit is guns. Another dark smile, another dark anger.

Waterdrops

Waterdrops snarled at the two "do I have to make it past you two by killing you?" she smiled at the thought, not moving, she did not take her eyes off the two. The sparkled with delight.

Cassidy

She returned Griffen's dark smile with a smirk of her own, and this one held less innocence, and more of the darkness that lurked within the girl. Well, then I am in good company, I see. But she was a shrewd girl, or she wouldn't have gotten this far. So she spoke up again, tone more serious. So... what exactly is it you want? You didn't bring me here just to chat, and not to make use of my body, either. Spill. What you want? All this was said with that same smile, but the light of intelligence was bright in her eyes. Her mind was keen, and he had best watch what he asked, for no deception would escape her.

Griffen * Malachi * Jack * Ripper

Griffen smiled darkly at Cassidy. I Think I Can trust you, pretty one. The mafia has sent me to these shores, to build....An empire I Guess you would say. I Saw you, and figured you just might be interested in joining. His voice was barely above a murmer, his eyes watching hers carefully.

Jack gave a dark smile to Jinx. Chains are not used here, dove. There are harsher ways of punishment. He knew this from experience, and hoped silently to himself that she would never run into the same problems he had, nor make the same mistakes.

The two canines were ready to spring, the female more so, when a sharp whistle pierced the air. We'll deal with you later. The male snarled. He turned and began walking away. Lily! Leave her. The female bristled but turned and headed toward the call. It was the only invitation Waterdrops would get.

Malachi stood on the front porch, a new canine at his side. A Dog he had found while wandering about, and a guardian at that. Why not keep her? She would be his... Personal pet. He mused silently at the thought. Yes. A Personal pet, instead of the guard dogs that were here, for what were they but killers? Lily, Stetson. This is our new friend. Treat her well. You know what happens if you don't. Then his eyes lifted, to catch the outline of Waterdrops. Hello.... And what is this? He murmered softly.

Cassidy

Her eyes had taken on the look they sometimes got: the one that reflected all that she saw without leaking a hint of her own thoughts. She pulled the dagger from her shoe as he talked, fiddling idly with it as though she was paying no attention to him, but in reality she was listening with the utmost poise and weighing each word. She let him sit awhile after he'd finished, making a face to suggest thinking though she had already made up her mind. Finally, she let her voice flow again, her seductive smile back in place as though it had never left. Very well. Terms?

Jinx, Waterdrops, and Silverwing

Silverwing looked up at Malachi, her bright eyes calm. She sat next to him, awaitng anycmmand he might give her and ready to spring if anyone where to come and try to harm him.

Waterdrops silently followed the other two, her muscles ripling and her fur flowing, the blue and white wolf stopped a couple feet away, waiting for acceptance, and ready to fight if she needed to.

Jinx looked around at the sound of a whistle.

"should we go?"

She asked Jack.

Jack

Jack lifted his eyes, and he nodded and began to trot towards the whistle. Ripper should be along... He said softly. His eyes drifted to waterdrops and Silverwing but he said not a word.

Looks like I'm set for protection. Whats your name, pretty girl? He said softly, holding a hand out to Waterdrops. Then he smiled at Jinx and tapped the deck, and Jack murmered Go to him. An inspection of sorts.

Waterdrops and jinx

Jinx jumped lightly onto the deck and stood next to the man. Her ears were pricked and her entire body was tensed, unsure of what the man would do. Her feep eyes stared calmly at him as she awaited the `inspection`.

Waterdrops sniffed the outstretched hand and then licked it gently, her blue ears swivling a bit on her head.

Malachi

His hands slid over Jinx's back, along her head and down her legs. Sure she had no vices, he patted her on the head and nodded before doing the same with Waterdrops. Good dogs. He murmered.

Jack nodded and looked at them both. Wheres Ripper? He asked softly.

Jinx and Silverwing

Jinx cocked her head. He had gone and then she hadn't seen him. She turned to the other dog, she stared for a moment, this other wolfish dog was white and blue, odd coloring, she thought about t only for a moment then snapped back to reality.

Silverwing looked up at Malachi. Then she took a step towards the edge of the deck, her nose to the ground, the rope was still around her neck, but she didn't mind, she preffered having a chain or something around her neck, and to be tied to something or in a cage, or at her masters side.

Malachi

He smiled, running his fingers over Silverwings fur. You all wanna go for a run? He had pent up energy, and no way to be rid of it. Why not go for a run and stir up some trouble? He knew Silverwing would join, but wasn't so sure of the other. He looked to Jinx with raised eyebrows, then smiled. He began to walk, and if they both followed would run.

Jinx & Silverwing

Silverwing jumped up in excitement she wanted to go, run with her newly beloved master. She immidiatly began bouncing along at his side, feet moving, eyes fixed on him.

Jinx stared at him. Her wild, black and red fur waving in the sudden breeze. She also took off after the two, her pace much wider and easier/
