Meanwhile, back at Uncle Bob's, HaiLoong and I were soon slicing and dicing the pieces of steaks that had been served, sizzling in their hot plates, fresh from the stoves in the kitchen. The smell and the sizzle of the meats brought Beast and Spotty on their feet and haunches as they savoured the pieces of meat that were served in front of them.
In fact, every single bite of meat that I take, it would be passed down to the beasts within me as well. It was like sharing what I ate and they would eat too. When I was growing up, at first I used to have greens like long beans, broccoli, cauliflowers and mashed potatoes with the occasional meats like beef stew, buffalo wings and pan pizzas in the past as a kid.
However, right now I have to fill them with sustenance from the huge pizzas, sloppy meat burgers, buckets of chicken drumsticks and biryani rice with chicken, beef or mutton dum. Eating fewer vegetables alone unless accompanied with meat would make those beasts purr with sheer delight and satisfaction.
I looked at HaiLoong and reached over for a paper napkin and lightly touched the sides of his mouth as it was smeared with a bit of Barbequed sauce. He let a small laugh and took the napkin and wiped his mouth with it before resuming his meal.
Looking at him makes me wonder how I could fall head over heels with a man who was nearly close to 1.5x my age. Maybe his maturity and sort of fatherly figure that attracts me most or either his fiery and slither tongue and his hot volcanic lips and his butterfly and feathery fingertips touch that excites both me and the beasts within me, especially the mountain lion.
"Still hungry... Needs more meat." Beast smacked her lips and was eager for me to order another few rounds of rib eyed steaks, but definitely not in from of HaiLoong. "Hang on there, I'd grab a few on the way out and we can have seconds back at my place." I formed these words in my thoughts and both Beas and Spotty were delighted.
They had to be accustomed to cooked meats since I myself finds it hard to swallow raw and bloody ones. There was a time when I was walking in Chinatown, and my sensitive nose picked up pig's blood and liver that were sold in the open market. Both Beast and Spotty made me buy a small vat of pig's blood and had me drink on the spot.
Pig's blood curd is rich in riboflavin, vitamin C, protein, iron, phosphorus, calcium, niacin and other minerals. Moreover, it is easy for the body to digest and absorb. It also contains a certain amount of lecithin and can curb the harmful effects of low-density cholesterol.
The liver was brought home and was thrown on the Barbeque pit and roasted over a bed of coals, unmarinated and served medium rare which both Beast and Spotty liked very much. They insisted me to go over to the Chinatown market every other week to purchase them.
Chinatown in Chamblee offers a variety of goods on sale at either the shopping mall or the fresh market place. It offers cheap affordable prices and haggling for prices lower than the offered one would always be my peaceful battlegrounds.
I was putting up in Coal Mountain near a Meat Market where I could have convenient access to all kind of meat ranges and cuts. There I learnt a few sections of meat that would either be good for roasting or making into a stew and these brought both Beasts into a feeding frenzy that we three liked.
It was a good 45 minutes ride from my place to Chinatown if there's heavy traffic, otherwise, I would have easily shaved off 10 minutes the usual trip. I chose a place like Coal Mountain because it was close to a nature park that once in a while I could shapeshift freely in either the form of a mountain lion or a cheetah and let them roam, pace around in their natural habitat.
Being a Shapeshifter like me is rather different from other Shapeshifters out there. I had to undress and packed my clothes in a small pack where either Beast or Sporty would pick it up and head for a safe place to store it before it goes around looking for small game in the nature park or just laze around on the branches or boulders to warm itself.
I made about a few trips per week just to let it stretch their limbs, rather than being cooped up within me and doing nothing but eat and sleep. Hahahaha. I'm never gonna let them be fat just like the rest of the animals in captivity, no siree...!!
And the thought to be away from the serenity of the nature park and a nice lake just across it, makes me feel dreadful for these beasts. How could they enjoy the freedom of being close to their natural habitat? Furthermore, the rental of the place around the Coal Mountain area is rather affordable for a girl like me.
How do I get in this business, you may ask yourself this question to me. Ever since I had left the University of Georgia after completing my Major in Agriculture for about 3 years and competing in several sporting meets which resulted in a bountiful of ribbons and medals.
I completed my scholarship and had gotten a lump sum of gratuity award that amounts to USD$36,000 that I could comfortably use to fund my own lodging while I was looking for work. As Georgia is an agricultural county, it was one of favoured subject next to business law. After getting hold of the prized scroll, I managed to land a job as a site supervisor at one of the peach plantation that was acres wide.
Frankly, I didn't last long in that industry as one day, while waiting for a bus home, a girl came running past and was tearing and shouting for help. I was looking past her as she ran and was wondering what happened to her that made her run that fast...
I chased after her and stopped her in her tracks when I managed to overtake her. I pulled her aside and asked her what happened and she told me that she was chased by some unknown thugs. I hushed her and told her to keep quiet as silent footsteps could be heard running over to our direction.
"That bitch must be somewhere here...! I saw she turned the corner and hide somewhere here. I can almost smell her now... But there's something else too... Keep your eyes peeled...!!!"
I heard the first thug hollered out as I placed a finger at my own lips to hush the girl. I passed my satchel bag at her to safeguard it while I waited with bated breath for the next thing that would happen real soon.
I hid in the shadows and behind a big dumpster that could easily conceal me, leaving the girl whimpering and sobbing as she clutched my satchel bag in fear, hoping it would provide her with some kind of protection against the imposing threat that was inevitable.
The moment the thug who was hollering poked his head in the alleyway, he shouted back to his Comrades that he had found what they were looking for.
As a Shapeshifter that had 2 Beasts within, the acute scent of wolves were in the air and these thugs that were inching their way towards the poor, sobbing and terrified girl, made her cower in fear behind my satchel bag, which she had covered it above her head.
"Little bitch, where are you going to hide from us, eh? We could smell you for miles and there's no escaping from the coalition at all. Hahahahaha... I and my mates are all been waiting for fresh meat until you came along. Tsk...Tsk...Tsk... You'd think we gonna let you go, little bitch?!? Your fresh meat belongs to us...!!"
As the first thug inched closer to the poor, terrified girl, I stood up from behind the dumpster with my fist tightly clenched till my knuckles turned white. No sooner when the first thug arrived at the girl, two more followed the first one and their eyes shone yellowish in semi-darkness of the alley.
They didn't hear me stalking them slowly behind when a voice boomed in my head, "Die...! Wolves...!! Scum of the earth...!!" as I pulled my right leg back and let a big upper swing kick between the legs and crotch area of the 3rd thug.
BOOM...!!!
"Arrrrgghhhhh.....!!!" The last thug of the pack went down, curled up in a fetal position with both hands clutching his crotch while foaming at his mouth.
Hearing the scream behind them, the other two thugs spun around and one of them was met with similar balls kicking effect and "BOOM...!!!" he went down just like the first one, writhing in extreme pain, literally foaming at his mouth like a rabid dog and clutching his crotch area with two hands and convulsing and writhing about on the cockroach-infested ground.
"Who the fuck are....." the first thug glared at me and was in a pouncing position, with his arms raised as in a wrestlers position, ready to pounce on his unknown assailant.
"WHAM... BOOM... CRACK...!!!" I jumped into the air and got the right momentum before Sporty took over and swiped its big paw with semi-retractable blunt claws over the face of the thug. Not once but twice as I swung my hand across the side of the head that went down after the second one. The crack sound came from the forceful smash that simply cracked the jaw of the thug, spinning his limp, unconscious body and he landed first face against the side of the dumpster.
The girl was simply peeing in her pants as she discovered that I was much more of a threat than the 3 thugs that were chasing her. A simple whack, bam and boom had taken down 3 thugs in a matter of seconds, where the two were still writhing in agony over my massive kicks to their balls.
I walked over and stood in between one of them and began to stomp mercilessly on their balls once more and to the next, hoping they would never be able to impregnate and bear any descendants any more. Howls of screams in pain and horror echoed in the alleyway and died off as soon as the two thugs were unconscious.
I walked over to the girl, introduced myself and brought her up to her feet and then hailed a cab and sent her home, at the girl's expense of course.
Imagine introducing myself as 'Angel' despite the stomping and crushing of the thugs' balls to her and decided to just address me as "May", "Mae" or "Mei" whichever they choose as it all sounded the same to me.
Beast and Spotty were rather happy at seeing their common enemies fall to the ground after the inhumane beating a girl at the age of 22 could have delivered. After I for back to my pad, I asked Beast and Sporty of what actually happened and I felt the adrenaline washes over me when I instinctively went after thru balls and the thug's face.
"Wolves... Enemies...! Dirty humans in wolves skin. Everywhere... We see we kill...!" Beast spoke up deep within me while Spotty was happy to lend a hand on her last part when I smacked my hand twice on the last thug's face. I reached out to them and rubbed their heads and that's where it all started.
