Part 1

~B is for Bite~

The snow was coming down harder than usual making visibility close to zero. It wasn't weather Matt was used to driving in. He wasn't about to crash, if he could help it, but truth be told all the fluffy white stuff sticking and piling up on the roads made him uneasy.

He had the window open a crack, smoke trailing out into the cold winter air, and he was certain that Mello would be pissed with how late he was going to arrive. Not because Mello was worried about him. Oh no, heaven forbid that.

Mello was waiting on his chocolate that Matt had been sent out, in a blizzard warning, to get.

He usually didn't mind doing things for Mello but next time he could get his own damn chocolate if it was snowing. He turned a corner and struggled with the wheel as the car slid. He probably should have picked up some groceries while he was at it; they would probably end up snowed in at this rate.

And somehow he could picture himself being the only one to starve to death as Mello wouldn't share his chocolate on a good day never mind if he had to ration it.

He sighed softly and took a long drag, watching dimly as the cigarette burned red and ash formed, before exhaling sharply. He hated the cold.

He was thankful that the small gas station had still been open or he would have had to go further from their apartment to search out Mello's confection. Or perhaps addiction.

He rolled passed the stoplight, no one else stupid enough to be out in that, and down a few more streets to park in front of the apartment complex. He didn't want to risk parking in the underground garage where the entrances were likely to get blocked in.

Matt shut the engine off and hoped he'd be able to get out again if they needed something. He grabbed the heavy bags of chocolate, and one filled with cigarettes, and kicked the door shut with his boot.

The air was frigid and his face was battered by the howling wind. Only it sounded like there was something else mixed in too. Something closer. Matt didn't find out until too late what that something else was.

A dark blur barreled into him five feet from the apartments main entrance and knocked the wind out of him when he landed on the ground; the bags he'd been holding spilling chocolate and cigarettes on the ground like a broken piñata.

Matt was all too suddenly aware of the snarling mass baring its very large teeth at him and the beating of his own heart in his ears. The animal, too large to be a wolf though it couldn't have been anything thing but a wolf, widened it jaws and Matt struggled under its weight.

He was not going to be eaten by something five feet from his fucking apartment.

He froze for a split second as it reared its head back and howled. He tried to reach the gun inside his vest but the animal snarled and lunged forward. Matt threw up an arm in front of his face and swore in pain as teeth pierced the skin and tore at his flesh.

There was no more time for hesitance and he kicked and pushed at the animal as its jaws ripped at his arm. He kneed it in the side and heard it howl in pain; his goggles were almost completely covered with snow making his vision fuzzy and spotted.

His heart thudded painfully in his chest as he frantically groped for his gun.

The animal growled and released his arm, going for what he assumed was his throat. Matt didn't think and simply thrust the gun in front of him and pulled the trigger. He caught the furry mass in the throat and its beastly howl was cut off as it rolled off him.

It was stunned for a moment before it took off running, leaving a trail of thick dark blood in its wake.

Matt rolled onto his side, arm cradled to his chest, and lay there trying to catch his breath and calm his racing heart. He knew it was stupid to stay there, for many reasons, but he just couldn't seem to get up.

He clutched at the snow covered ground with his good hand but made no more movements; dimly he could see the dark shapes of the chocolate being covered by the snow. Somehow, Matt just couldn't bring himself to care about Mello's fucking chocolate.
