"Hey, wait... what are you talking about?!" He trails after her and steps in front of the door way before she can go in. He cradles one side of her face with his hand and says, "Talk to me... Do you know something that I don't?" Him being totally oblivious to what she's really getting at.

"I know what I am," she snaps harshly. She had two options: get emotional or get angry. It was a no-brainer which she would choose. "You haven't seen me at my worst. But you're going to. And that's something even you won't be able to stomache." She lingers in his touch for a moment, then pulls away one last time, going around him and pushing the door open, stepping into the cafe.

Frost moves behind her and whispers slightly, "I'm not going to leave... if anything, you'll be horrified and what i can and will do to these people." He's then gone. He watches her work her way through the crowded cafe with desire and worry.

Julianna makes her way over to the counter, as though she were going to order something, and waits until the cashier person walks over on the other side of the counter. The cashier smiles brightly and asks, "Can I help y-" and then cuts off in mid-sentence, eyes widening as he caught Julianna's scent. A slow, silky smile spreading over her lips, Julianna says cooly, "Yes, I believe you can. You see, I have some unfinished business with an associate of yours.." Leaning across the counter slightly, she discreetly reaches out and pins the other were's hand, nails digging slightly into the underside of his wrist. Lowering her voice to an intimate whisper, she says, "Your Rex. His name is Greer Kartane, is it not?" The guy's gaze flicks around the café, realizing there were too many people around and he couldn’t call an alarm without risking exposure. Besides, he was a submissive – Julianna far outranked him. The cashier nodded jerkily. "Good," Julianna crooned. "Now, where does your pride hold its lupanars?" After a brief moment of hesitation, he says, "There’s a forest, on the outskirts of town. Ten miles in there’s a clearing." "Good," Julianna says again. "You’re going to call one. If your Rex and the rest of your pride is not there by midnight.. I will not be pleased. I can and will track each and every one of you down. But that would be messy, and with the lupanar, less people will get hurt. Understand?" The other were nodded hastily again. "Wonderful. I’ll be seeing you, then." Julianna released the cashier’s hand, leaving four red dots of blood on his wrist where her nails had pierced the skin. Julianna then turned and walked out of the café, stopping outside to close her eyes and take a deep breath.
[phew! that one took a while!]

[Lol! Yea, it's all good though, very nicely done, if i say so myself. *thumbs up*]
Frost walks out of the cafe and puts each of his hands against the wall on either side of her, "Very nicely handled, very sexy." He smiled and kissed her very strongly and passionate. He then leaned closer to her, his mouth right up against her ear, his body pushing her up against the wall, he whispered, "I do have a dark side you know, and a thing for women like you..." He chuckles and caresses her ear with a brush of his lips.

[woot!]
Julianna shivered at his touch, her eyes fluttering closed. Swallowing hard, she whispered, "Don't.." This would only make it all the more difficult to do what she had to, knowing it would drive him away.

Frost felt her tense and heard her plea but could barley stop himself, there was only one thought that stopped him.. and he pulled back. His eyes a little harsh he said, "Julianna... the things I'd like to do to you in the future, after we kill these guy.... If I told you, you would be the one running away from me, not the other way around. And whatever you did couldn't possibly be worse than the fantasy I had then. Where to?" He walks away from her and crosses the street.

Julianna hangs back a little bit as she gets her breathing under control, then picks up her pace to catch up to him. "There's a forest on the outskirts of town. Ten miles inside of it, there's a clearing. They hold the lupanars there. All there is left to do is go there and wait."

"Fine, see you there. Have fun." He starts to walk a little faster, but not flying off just yet, knowing she'd ask what he was gonna do.

"Where are you going?" Julianna asks, predictably enough.

He stops and looks back at her with a very michevious look and says, "I've got some business to take care of... I will meet you there." And with that, he's gone.

Julianna frowns, wondering what the hell he was getting himself into, then sighs and shakes her head, focusing instead on looking at the map she had and figuring out where the forest was.
[later...]
An hour later, around 11pm, Julianna was waiting in the clearing. She'd found a flat rock off to the side to sit on and had taken her shoes and light jacket off, sitting there cross-legged in short jeans shorts and a dark sapphire blue tank top. She was currently working on tying her long wavy hair back into a ponytail, her eyes continually scanning the clearing for any sign of movement.

Frost lands right in front of her and then sits down next to her saying, "There on their way here through the forest."

Julianna nods, standing up and going through some stretches, also double-checking to be sure she could move easily in what she was wearing. As she does so, she looks over at him and asks, "You gonna tell me where you were now?"

He doesn't even look at her this whole time and then, still without looking at her says, "No." He's scanning the outskirts of the woods, watching intently.

Julianna frowns at him, but shrugs it off and occupies herself with keeping track of the scents the wind carried and watching the edge of the forest for movement. Finally, she tenses up, power slowly starting to rise to crawl along the surface of her skin. A few moments later, figures detach themselves from the shadows of the forest and a large group of werelions slide into the clearing in dead silence.

Frost, on account of his instincts, moves in front of Julianna and starts to walk forward with clenched fists and teeth barred.

A soft hiss rising from her, Julianna steps up next to Frost, her eyes hard and determined. Lowering her voice so the others across the clearing, even with their enhanced hearing, couldn't discern her words, she said, "Don't. This is my fight."

"I know!" He screams. "I'm killing all the others that I saw there!" He 'blurs' forward and starts slaughtering them. ((Pouts, since star wont let me kill, lol, jsut kidding! ^.^))
Frost, through clenched teeth says, "I know, get on with it then before I snap." He is staring at them all, planning their deaths as he looks at each of them.

[O.o w....t...f..?] [not yet, lol! we just need to werepolitic first, lol!]
Stepping in front of Frost, Julianna walks forward at a slow, casual pace, though already as power rolls through her there's an added feral, feline quality to her step. She exudes arrogance and self-assurance as she comes to a halt within the center of the clearing, surveying the pride with a lofty, holier-than-thou expression. She waits in silence until one werelion detaches himself from the others, walking forward to meet her in the center of the clearing. He's a large man, with a body-builder's physique - too bulky to be actually attractive. His long dark hair is left down, seeming to be a physical allusion to a mane, and his eyes are almost black in tone. He's the first to speak. "I don't appreciate rogue lionesses coming into my territory and making demands of me and my pride," he says, voice deep and with a rasp to it that was like nails on a chalkboard. Julianna just looks at him for a moment, her eyes cold, then says, her voice carefully empty, "You are the Rex of this pride? Greer Kartane?" The werelion nods jerkily and says, "I am. And you are..?" With an icy smile, Julianna replies in almost a sing-song croon, "Vengeance."
