Peace talks in a city of war

Stephan shook his head. "I won't leave!" He shrugged Hestia off and ran back towards the fight.

Hestia grabbed his arm and glared at him. Roxine had ignored him, watching the fight with calculative eyes.

Stephan hissed at her- showing dominance for the first time. "I will NOT leave my father!"

Hestia blinked in surprise. Roxine turned and glared at him. "I am Lupa, you are not. Do as I tell you and get outta here." she ordered.

Stephan took a step closer to her, standing as tall as possible. "I dont CARE who you are, I WILL NOT LEAVE MY FATHER!"

Roxine's eyes flashed dangerously. She stared Stephan right in the eye and remained silent. Hestia gulped and stepped back.

Stephan didn't even flinch, he stared at her without blinking, his eyes seeping a yellowish colour.

Roxine's eyes narrowed slightly as she took a step forwards. "Back down, Stephan." she growled, dropping her nickname 'Kiddo'.

Stephan hissed. "Never."

Roxine rolled her eyes, breaking the eye contact at last. She glared at him and shook her head. "Never say never." she muttered, pushing him back lightly. "Now get."

Stephan snarled and changed into his leopard form.

Roxine watched him warily. "You attack me and I swear to God I will not be responsible for the things I do or swear over." she warned.

Stephan hissed but sat down and got back to watching the fight.

Roxine sighed. "Fine. Watch. But if you get me in trouble I am so going to make you pay." with taht she sat down beside him, scowling at the fighting wereleopards.

Stephan hissed quietly and then winced as Gabriel delivered a finishing blow to Mr.Oliver.

Roxine pulled a face but said nothing, watching calmly.

Gabriel collapsed onto the ground and let out a shuddering breath.

Roxine got up and moved towards him carefully, moving slower than she normally would in case it wasn't over. "You done?"

Gabriel let out another suddering breath and nodded weakly.

Roxine nodded and moved to kneel beside him. "Are you alright?" she asked seriously. She pushed him back. "Rest." she added, smirking slightly. Hestia went back to the Metro, muttering something about a first aid kit.

Gabriel smiled weakly. "I'll live."

Roxine smiled back at him. "You better."

Gabriel chuckled. "Are you alright?" He asked, running a finger down her face.

"I'm fine." Roxine assured him.

Gabriel nodded then looked at Stephan. "And you?"
