Fiero was PISSED. He lost his mate. He WILL find him. Using his dragon abilities, he catches Hollows scent, running at top speed, leaving Naut in the dust.
-----------------
Hollow knew they were being tracked. He could feel Fieros presence all around them. Sweat dribbled down his brow, Atlus confused as to why they had to leave the other two. "Hey, wh-" Atlus was cut off by a hand on his mouth. Hollow shook his head no and continued to listen to the noises around them. There a twig snapped nearby. He jerks Atlus down into the bush with him, still covering the boys mouth.
------------------------------
Fiero could sense him, but couldn't see him. He knew they never left this area because Hollows footprints show they never continued up the small clearing. Following them to a small patch of bushes, Fiero grins widely. "Come out, my sweet poison." He says, stepping through the bushes.
--------------------------------
Hollow saw Fieros shoes first. Swearing, he went to stand, but a kick in his back sent him right back down. "Carefule, Naut. Hurt him too much and I can't promise your safety." He says, scowling under his mask. Naut rolls his eyes at Fiero and hoists Atlus up. But it's too late. Atlus sends a kick flying up into Nauts groin, causing him to fall over and into the dirt. Fiero subdues him easily, twisting the pirates arms behind his back. He has a huge strength and level advantage over him. "Up close, your kinda cute. I think I'll take you as my mate as well." Fiero says. Hollow starts to run, planning to circle back for his friend, but Fiero uses his other hand to grab Hollows throat. Losing air fast, he kicks and scratches with all his might, until his vision goes blurry. Atlus jerks forward a few times, but goes slack when he hears a crunch from his wrist. "Now, who should I start with?" Fiero asks himself, looking between the two. His stomach bubbles with hunger and excitement as he licks his lips.
