The Beast R'Auco..solid black from wing to taloned appendange. She had met it at the cages, a week or so ago..its long arm extended into the cage after a mouthy girl. She had watched, amused, for a time, until it asked her with wicked black eyes to get the girl out for him.
She had..and in exchange had asked a favor, to be decided upon another time. The Beast agreed, and they parted ways.
It sniffed her down a few days later, but she bid him give her leave and he had.
Little did she know, that he would sniff her down again..and this time, at the Chateau.
It had come, it said, to know the favor she wanted. She had bartered, his protection was what she wanted, for her, and those she called hers. Agreement was yet to be made..for he showed interest in the House, and wished to be invited in.
She could just imagine the screams of the girls and the shocked look on Nessas face should she bring a Beast sauntering in in the middle of the afternoon. She agreed, but managed to set the date for the next day. That would give her time to prepare Nessa, get the girls out of the house, and call Shard. Not to mention just where in Zeuses name was she going to find a live deer for its lunch.
It left the way it had come, promising to return on the morrow, though she was almost certain it would be sneaking around in the middle of the night.
She couldnt get into the house fast enough, and when Nessa found her in the garden, Shard was already circling overhead.
She told Nessa all that had happened, and Nessa agreed to send the girls to the beach the following day. Cricket just wished Nessa would go with them..for her own safety, but this was her House. They probably both should have told Burgoo, but Cricket knew he would kill her for bringing this danger upon his women..and she didnt want the Beast to wind up dead either. He could be a very valuable asset..if she could just keep everyone from getting mawled in the process and keep Burgoo in the dark until dinnertime tomorrow.
She left, to scout the grounds, to make sure the Beast was not lurking in the brush, and Shard had been sent to do the same from the sky, and not to leave until this was over.
They would see tomorrow..when the Beast R'Auco..
came for lunch at the House Du'Mont.
