because if one thing works you might know it's true

It was a quiet night for Benjamin, the bear in him waking up fully, grunting and sniffling around. It was the nocturnal side of him speaking, dying to get out and assume its true form instead of being stuck all the time at the back of his human mind. Fortunately, he had plenty of control over the animal side of him, and the chances of the bear in him coming out and unleashing itself was highly unlikely. Still, Bear noted how it was always more awake at night. While he it was drowsy during the day, sometimes even completely asleep, it was how he took advantage of it, sealing it and finished every task he had set for himself without feral interference. At night however, he usually was unable to sleep because the animal in him loved being so damn nocturnal. He wasn't complaining though.

The hairs at the back of his neck stood up as he walked cautiously through the dark alleyways, his keen senses constantly on alert. Why he decided to come here of all places Bear had no idea, but he had badly wanted to explode the older parts of Manuka just to satisfy his own curiosity. He wished that Sawyer was him so that they could look around together, but the fact that his brother didn't remember him sliced him at the very core of his heart, and he was pretty sure that his older brother had lived here long enough to know his way around town. It seemed for the time being that Sawyer didn't want to do anything with him. Bear would have asked Kinsley out with him for a midnight stroll, but he figured that the huntress had enough on her mind, what with her hobbies and taking care of his older brother. He didn't want to trouble the beautiful blonde any further, she was already having him under her roof. Her kindness he hoped to repay one day, for taking him in, and saving Sawyer.

The sounds of nearby fighting made him cock his head, looking curiously in the direction of the scuffles. Wondering if they needed his assistance, he followed the sounds of the fighting and came across a nasty sight. Four on one, what a terrible, unfair fight. He had been warned that these things happened recently in the old town, and he shouldn't take no notice, but Bear hated the numbers and the thought of someone being bullied in his sights. His mind made up, he approached them. There was a man in the middle, seemingly human enough as he didn't look as though he was bound to reveal any sort of special gift anytime soon, surrounded by four vampires by the scent of them. He was doing a good job keeping them at bay, but the speed and agility of the vampires prevented him from doing any major damage and from the looks of it, they were obviously toying with the poor man, poking and snapping at him, almost playfully. They were skilled, veteran fighters, all of them clearly looking for sport and entertainment. Bear didn't often get pissed, but pissed he did get at the unfairness of it all.

Stomping forward, the boy walked into the fight, grabbing a snarling vampire and throwing him into the nearby wall, with all the strength and ferocity he had (which was pretty nasty since he was a bear and all) Slipping into the center of the makeshift circle in which the other man was surrounded in, he stood with his back to the human, glancing over his shoulder to shoot him a faint grin. "Thought you could use some help. I hope you don't mind. I'm Bear."

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: f9f9f9; border: #001122 solid 10px; width: 420px; padding: 15 5 15 5px;] let’s set the world on fire Kale had just gotten off of work from the gym and was on his way home. It was late at night and he was hot and sweaty and wanted nothing more than to go home, take a nice cold shower, and sleep til noon the next day. His feet hurt and he was thirsty as of right now, but he was glad to have gotten a good workout. His last client was a really pretty girl named Lauren who had tried to get him to go out with him sometime, but since he was already seeing Talia, he had to decline. Kale was thankful she hadn’t taken it personally, but he was no cheating man. He liked Talia way too much to do any sort of wrong to her. She was a big mess sometimes, but that was what he liked about her. She wasn’t afraid of telling him what was wrong and the only thing Kale wanted to do was make her as happy as she could possibly be. He knew she had some really rough, dark days, but he knew how to deal with them because when he was growing up, after his mother had died, his father had gotten to be that way. Kale had gotten pretty good at cheering people up, Talia included. Sometimes though when she was feeling depressed and he called her she wouldn’t answer her phone, so he had to go find her wherever she was. He usually caught her at her house and stayed with her until she was finally feeling a little better. Occasionally he would stay over, even when she told him not to. He couldn’t just let her sit at home alone and feel such darkness though. He just wanted to hold her until it all went away. Turning down the alleyways, Kale took out his phone to text Talia while he thought of her. He hadn’t talked to her since the day before yesterday and he missed her. They had just both been really busy with work that they were unable to get together or really even text. With it sent, he shoved his hands in his pockets. He had walked pretty far into the alleys and was about halfway through when a figure came out from behind a dumpster, which rank of old garbage and sour milk. Kale stopped dead in his tracks and watched as the man came toward him with his teeth bared, fangs protruding from his K-9 teeth. Kale’s breath caught and he backed away. Another figure, this one smaller and shorter appeared. She stepped out into the moonlight with her teeth showing the same fangs. She cackled harshly and took a deep whiff. ”Don’t you smell nice and…” She took another wiff and smiled. ”Hot.” The girl chuckled softly, almost sonuding evil and looked to her companion who then showed his face in the moonlight as well. He was pale and had eyes that glared at Kale with disgust. Two more of the vampires came into view. God he hated supernaturals. They were just creepy and Kale didn’t like that they had the upperhand on just about everything. There was no way in hell he was going to get out of this situation alive. He was going to die tonight and there was no way to stop it. Just then one of the vampires were flung away as if he were a bag of garbage being flung into one of the overflowing dumpsters. Kale’s eyes widdened with fear. Oh God, not more… But the boy who had come to stand beside him didn’t look frightening. He was a smaller guy with a sweet face and kind eyes and Kale wouldn’t be afraid of him on a regular day. Kale’s eyebrows furrowed and he looked at the vampire who had stood again and growled. Bear was an odd name, but he didn’t question it. “Thanks,” Kale said and got ready to fight—something he only did when he was angry, which was hardly ever. we can burn brighter than the sun tagged nagababy! words 670 outfit here! credits irisheyes of C.20
