Eclipse huffed, walking through the halls. For the past two weeks, all he can think about is that blasted human that has slithered into his brothers lives and wrapped them around her fingers. He has seen that human slinking around, running away whenever noticing he was in the area.
He always noticed the human before she noticed him, so he always noticed when she ran away.
She feared him, good.
That would keep her away from his brothers.
But.... just in case.....
He gently rapped his knuckles on her door, frowning irritably.
The door opened, and revealed the female rubbing her eyes with a yawn, hair messy. "Ye-" She started to say, but stopped as she saw him.
She started to close the door, but he set a hand on it.
"May I... come in?" He asked, baring his sharp teeth in a lopsided grin full of malicious intent. She opened her mouth to answer, but he didn't give her the time to, as he barged into the room and closed the door behind him.
He lifted her by the collar of her shirt, growling as he demanded, "What do you want with my brothers? Why are you hanging around them?"
She whimpered, her eyes wide as she instinctively kicked him in the groin.
He growled, falling to his knees and curling up in pain. As he dropped her, she made a beeline for the door, but he jumped up and slammed all four hands on the wall, caging her in with his body.
"Answer my god damned question, woman!" He snarled, and she curled up, shaking hands shielding her head. His eyes narrowed at her actions, a thought in mind.
"Uh, look dude, I don't really know. We, we became friends over time, okay?" She stuttered, and Eclipse's frown deepened as he heard her voice. Conventionally more androgynous than feminine, low. She's the quiet type, doesn't like attention because of something that happened to her early on.
His lower two hands grabbed her head, tilting it back so she looked at him. He pried her jaw open, examining her mouth. Well, for a human, she had a strong jaw, some sharp teeth, healthy for a species conventionally known for eating whatever they can touch.
He tilted her head back and forth, claws trailing along the soft flesh of her neck. She certainly was pretty, following beauty standards that could certainly be used to seduce his brothers.
He fluffed her hair, examining her arms. Strong, sure, but not as strong as him. His claws trailed over her skin, feeling her soft stomach. She must eat a lot, for someone so strong. Bit on the pudgy side, but she certainly has charms. Would make a good partner.
She pulled her shirt back over her stomach, frowning in discomfort. "Look dude, I'm not a danger or whatever to your brothers. We are just friends, I'm not trying to hurt them or whatever." She said, her hands fidgeting as Eclipse patted her large hips with a look of concentration. Certainly child-bearing.
"All you humans are the same. Seductresses who use their looks and charms to get whatever they want. Well I won't allow it. Girls uglier than you have tried their tricks on me and succeeded, so to think of how easy it would be to make my brothers wrapped around your little pinky?" Eclipse replied, growling as he examined her right leg.
He examined her left leg before looking into her eyes, leaning in close as his upper right hand wrapped around her throat.
"I bet you are after their valuables. You females always do have an eye for shiny baubles. Or maybe you are trying to get at me. I am famous the galaxy over for my skills, and you would have no chance of hurting me directly. But going for my brothers? Such a dirty trick." He growled, his eyes narrowing.
She let out a choked sound as he tightened his grip on her throat, and she stiffened as her hands tried to pry his hand off.
"I swear! I'm not trying to take anything from your brothers! They were the ones who approached and befriended me! I expect nothing from them!" She said quickly, voice rising slightly in her panic. "Please, please, please Mr. Eclipse, don't hurt me! I swear, I-I-I can avoid them! I can stay as far away from them as possible! That should appease you, right?"
Eclipse thought over her proposition. "Do you... fear me?" He growled, grip not tightening nor loosening.
She nodded quickly, breathing rapidly as she replied, "Very much so! I'm fucking terrified right now!"
Eclipse hummed, looking at her. He released her throat, and she gasped as proper oxygen was inhaled. "For a female, you don't seem all that.... Confident. With your killer looks, I would expect you to be a bounty hunter. You don't seem so with your reactions to my threats." He hummed, tapping the side of his face as he examined her.
Was he initially wrong? She does have the curvaceous figure that she could weaponize to seduce anyone, but she didn't react to his threats like a bounty hunter. She must be a more civilian type of human. Maybe works with animals. Or maybe a construction worker, she has the muscles for it.
"Tell you what...." He said, leaning in close. She leaned away, her back pressing against the door. "I will allow you to continue to be in my brother's presences. BUT," He said, one hand grabbing her chin and forcing her to look at him, all four of his eyes widening as the orange started to swirl with hints of black, "You will NEVER think of doing anything that will cause them harm. You will never take anything of theirs without permission. Do you hear me?"
She growled quietly in her throat, shoulders slumping as he hypnotized her. "Never fucking planned it in the first fucking place." She growled, and Eclipse frowned as he felt her resisting his hypnosis.
No matter. He has what he came here for.
"Good." He growled in return, letting go of her. He picked her up by the shoulders, moving her out of the way so he could leave.
He didn't see it when she flipped him off from behind, but he wouldn't have cared anyway.
All he cares about is that his brothers don't make the same mistakes as he did.
