Take a number

Dante feels horrible today. Yesterday everything was fine but today it feels like his guts are revolting and trying to leave him in every direction at once. All of the smaller snakes have pulled back as he is thrashing around in pain to the point it was dangerous. Now as Silver comes over she flicks her tongue and after it hits his skin she jerks it back as she gags some and looks to the others. "He ate poisoned berries."

They both slither over and look up to her as she looks down shaking her head hissing softly. "But is there anything we can do mother, our mate is in pain?"

Silver looks to them and him before to them again as she hisses softly and looks to him. "Bite him." as they look to her she motions "Perhaps your venom can help break down the poison in his body but I don't know since his kind is not well known to me."

Cobra swings around as her fangs flash out and she freezes before she hears another voice. "It will be okay big sister, he will survive just help him okay." Looking down she sees her little sister and looks back to him as she moves closer. Looking up as Silver gives her where to bite and sinks her fangs in his biceps first one side with a fang than the other side.

Liquid fire is all he can think of as his body went from trying to explode to now being a current of liquid fire as it races throughout his entirety. He claws at himself at times trying to release the pain and after an unknown amount of time, blessed unconsciousness finds him and he fades away from the pain.

Dante wakes up and feels heavy when he glances around he feels safe as all his companions are here including his hunting partner from the one night. He moves slowly as he gets up and suddenly a snake pushes him down as it seems to be snuggling against him as it hisses. It sounds as if it is crying in his head. He shakes his head feeling he is spending way too much time out here.

He rubs her hood as she slows and calms before seeming to pass out as he smiles tenderly. She seems so much like one of his squad. Shaking his head trying to not think too much of them as he misses them so badly. Looking around he reaches out and runs a hand along the big one from before and nods. "Thank you my friend and perhaps we can hunt again."

He hisses some to whichever was talking as he is resting. "We can hunt again later sibling for now I am resting so head out with another for now."

Dante is frozen in place and his mind feels like the window the truck hit. Dante shakes his head as that couldn't have happened plus it is impossible. He moves and rubs her again as she lifts her head and smiles. "Um, can you understand me?"

She sways a bit and then her face hits his chest as he blinks and sighs as nothing is strange, it was all in his head. Resting back now he closes his eyes and drifts back to sleep as they will let him up later. She is near panic levels as she is losing her mind. His lips moved and she is certain without a doubt, she understood her mate.

Dante is slow to move and wakes up stretching again but this time he doesn't get snaked. He moves and does the soft sound as the others let him walk out to the area outside as he rubs his eyes stretching. Damn I feel like I slept badly. He moves and stretches as he finds his body cracking and popping as he slowly works kinks out of his body. Looking over he smiles seeing his girls coming out and smiles holding a hand out as they come up to him.

He goes to talk as he sees Silver and smiles as he turns heading in her direction then flops against her face with a grin. "Ah morning Silver, did you rest well?" he blinks as she is stationary and leans back some as she normally pushes some against him "Ya frozen there or something Silver?"

After a moment she leans forward and looks at him closely and hisses. As nothing happens she thinks and puts her nose against his chest. "Can you understand me child?" Dante is frozen in place now as his eyes are wide as she nods her head. Rising up to look around before lowering down to him again she touches him again. "Don't let others know."

He snaps out of it and as his heart is breaking a speed record his mind is going nearly as fast. He goes over everything he has ever heard, be it the rumors or facts, shared as he sways and hits his ass as he hears two voices. "My mate, are you okay? What happened big sister?" "Why are you blaming me? I only did what I did to save his life!"

He moves his hands on the two of them then moves them up by their mouths to shut them as he is fighting to come to terms with things. "Okay ladies please, give me some time." as both heads slowly turn his way he sighs and nods "Okay so yeah, what um what is this mate stuff?"

Silver shakes her head as she looks down and hisses some. "Good job not sharing it for all of three seconds." looking to the two girls she hisses "He can only speak with and understand you if you are touching. Now don't share this as he is to open with you two so keep this a secret from others."

They look to each other and back to him as he swallows getting the feeling something just happened and he isn't sure but feels threatened. "Okay uh let's head out and see if we can find food as I feel ravenous." As they head off she is looking at them as she has never heard of something like this happening before. However this is also the first time they accepted one amongst them to her knowledge.

Three wolves are around them as he is growling amongst hissing at them as they circle. He keeps Cora close as he decided that instead of a species like name and the little one is Tora since all he could think of was choker, but didn't want to go there. He looks to them and glares out as he swipes out they jump back circling more as he looks around and down to her before his body feels like a triple shot of nos hits his veins.

He steps past her as his body feels tense and after three steps he launches forward. The first wolf barks jumping back but as Dante doesn't slow down and just slams into it as he grabs around the neck and slams his feet down before he gives it the infant with a stuffed toy treatment. Whipping his body back and forth he doesn't stop until his arms feel the body quiver and the crack echoes out in his ears. He drops the body as he looks over and one is charging him while the other is after Cora.

She looks to Dante and he can see her eyes. He can see only fear in them as his body starts to rush forward. As the other wolf lunges he has a passing thought as the body collapses down as he rushes forward while she hisses and bites at the wolf it slows and goes to hit from the side. Suddenly it feels the world pull backward before suddenly she only sees Dante. She hisses out rushing to him as the two hug he holds her safe and now thinks on what happened. While he looks at his arm compartment and wonders did he just store two living or dead wolves?"

He is sitting now with her outside of the nest in the clearing as Silver has seen to her wounds. Now with her and Tora asleep he looks to his wrist and with no other options he activates it fully once more and sends a message.

Edna looks over and blinks before she jerks seeing the name she is crimson as she can only think he found out she was spying on him naked. Her aid is now there and motions as they answer the call. "I don't know anyone else in a high position such as yourself, so I hope you can answer a question for me."

They look to each other as her aid taps and holds up the tablet. Be honest and admit it before this goes worse. At worst he can just be mad but if you lie and he brings it to light you spy on naked students…

Edna nods and faces it. "Yes it was our drone that watched you for the last few days however the last two you were not seen after you went back into their nest."

Dante looks up and around before he thinks about it and closes his eyes. He has more important things to deal with right now then being her show the last few days. "I have something else to talk about besides that but we will touch on that later." Edna sighs knowing it wasn't going to be that easy "We get limited information at school and can only read books edited for us. What I need to know is a theory about what happened doing the City Wars, around five hundred years after the Territory Wars. Do you have access to such information?"

She looks to her aid and after a moment she signals everything is locked down and nods. "Okay Dante, what are you asking about as this could get people in trouble?"

Dante nods as that seems right to his worries. "We learned during the war that they used genetic work to make perfect soldiers and the like from the best of the human race. Could they have mixed in animal genetics into humans to create those soldiers?"

Looking to each other Edna sighs and looks to it than opens up a video as he accepts she sees him. "There are some reports where some places might have done such things but none of it is formally confirmed." when Dante waves looking to them Cora lifts her head looking around before he points and she looks to them "What is going on Dante?

"Welcome to my questions and take a number, I need answers first."
