Territory of the Wolf and Undead

[Reno]

Sora watched with very fond eyes, and smiled ever more. The sight was precious and rare, and he wrapped an arm across Lilo's shoulders fondly, holding her close. It was not so impossible... to think anything could happen. A fox giving milk to kittens was just as obscure as a Vampir in love with a lycan or a witch...

He leaned over kissing her temple then her lips sweetly. As he pulled away he smiled and murmured gently, "I love you." As she returned it, he grinned happily, and straightened taking a glance at her side to see Riku's reaction - and was surprised to find it empty. He knew he had been there before.

He tilted his head, wondering what the other might be thinking before he turned back to the scene. They stayed there for awhile more before he murmured to his lover gently that they;d best leave the creatures in peace. Lifting her in his arms he headed back to the stream, finding the horses still safe and sound there.


Eyes fell shut as soft lips met his own and it was like Ven had lit a match because suddenly strong arms wrapped about him, pressing their bodies together in fervor. A hand wound around in his hair, holding his head ever closer as Terra suddenly kissed him passionately. It was mating season.

[Rikugurl]

Lilo wrapped her arms around her lover as he carried her back to the horses. She had always wondered why he carried her so. He said that such a beautiful woman shouldn't strain herself so but she thought it more that he was showing off his vampiric strength. She was relieved to see Riku with the horses and when she was placed back upon her feet, she quickly went to his side. "Ah, Riku... are you alright? You seem plagued with thought. Did you too wish to take those kittens as your own?" She giggled sweetly, having picked up the habit from her mother who giggles most of the day.

"No, I am afraid not. Other things have come to me and though I wish to continue on with you, I feel like I must return home." The silverette frowned before he mounted the largest of the gentle beasts.
"Oh... pity." Lilo frowned some, glancing at Sora. "I suppose we shall head back as well for our guard will no longer be with us."


"Mmmmmm!!" Ven's eyes widened as he was suddenly pulled closer, almost stoppling over the chair that Terra was sitting on. But they slowly lidded as the tongue made its way inside his mouth, his own tongue sweeping against the others. "Hooooo~~" Saliva pushed pass his fangs, falling down his chin as his own body started to become hot with desire. The blood of the librarian below the boards rushed through his body, stiffing an organ that it never had before. Quickly and clumsily, he got upon the lycan's lap, his own arms wrapping around the strong neck.

He broke away to catch his breath, panting hard against the other's as their eyes looked into one another's deeply. "Oh Terra...." Quickly, their lips were joined once again into a passionate battle of tongues as claws raked through the brunette hair.

[Reno]

"Ah! You offend me my lady! Am I not an adequate guard?" Sora said with quite a pout, but when she tried to make up for his masculine pride he merely smiled as if it were no matter. "Alright, we can go home then." He glanced up as the hunter said his farewell and started to trot past. "Ah, Riku?"

The man halted and glanced down at him - perhaps Lilo was well fooled but Sora was not. He knew for some reason the sight had disturbed the half-Vampir, and possibly his need to hunt. He knew just how strongly this man believed that carnivores and their prey should never mix. "I apologize if my discovery and actions offended ye, I had not meant to..."


"Mmmmm...mmmmmmmmm~" Came the groans from the elder male, his body shifting up against the other's as he leaned back into the cushions. His whole body was tingling and shivering, feeling his lust become out of control. Unlike with Aqua... he knew he couldn't stop. As they broke away from the kiss, he panted softly, his voice full of fervor and surety, "By the end of tonight... haa you'll be my mate."

He reached back and pressed his hand against the small of Ven's back, and their hips suddenly came together. The lust in the wolf was obvious when the blonde felt something hard press against him. The man gave a wolfen growl of pleasure, licking his tongue along the other's jawline.

[Rikugurl]

The reins were pulled and the stallion huffed some before shaking his head. Slowly, the hunter looked down, seeing the vampir's face before frowning. "Offended me it had not." He admitted, making the brunette blink. "If anything, vampir... it has opened mine eyes. Good evening." The reins were hit and he and the horse sped away in a fast run, leaving the two lovers with their ponies.

There was silence when the dirt settled before Sora turned and came back to the woman and ride. "I do hope he is alright..." Lilo sighed as she mounted the pony, taking his reins and making him walk slowly as Sora got on top his. Oddly enough, the brunette seemed not worried at all but had a smile upon his face, claiming that they had done it.


"OohAAAAAHHH!!" Ventus cried as he was was pulled closer and felt a harden object fit nicely between his clothed buttock.
"You'll be my mate."
Goosebumps ran over his body as he shivered, the heat wrapping around him as the husky breath came over his jaw as licked. "Hhhaaaterraa~" He breathed, clawed fingers quickly pulling around from the man's neck before unbuttoning his blouse, revealing the milky pale skin of his torso. The white shirt fell over his shoulders as his body ached, falling onto the wooden floor below.

His arms wrapped around Terra's neck again as he gasped, feeling the hot, wet tongue on his neck and strong fingers through his hair. "Oh God... I am yours, Terra..."
It was that which seemed to tie the knot. More clothes were pulled from their bodies and though it wasn't the most comfortable of places, it did not matter for them.

Harsh, choppy breaths filled the brunette's ear as wet lips were mere inches from it as a darkened eye could only glance back at what was happening to his body. His cheeks were a dark red, his and the lycan's torso together as one while the edges of his sight were so dark he had to consistently blink to clear them. His blonde hair was a shade darker in spots from the sweat his head gave off as his body lowered upon the other's lap again. One of his hands were pulled behind his back, fingers spread as he gripped onto one of his own butt cheeks and pulled at it to move, making away for a larger organ to get by. It was nothing like making love with his brothers. Though intimate and loving, his love for his brothers was different than his love for this man.

His mate.

The moon continued to move across the sky and as it did, their bodies moved as well. Positions changed dramatically as the couch did not seem to tame the beast inside the man. "AAAAHHH!! HAA-AAH! T-TERRA!" The blonde vampir could not hold back his lustful calls as his claws dug into the wood as his body arched over it, the pre-liquid from his own length splattering onto the ground. Eyes closed tightly as he felt strong jaws latch around the nape of his neck, feeling the sharp teeth against his skin just as he was thrust into once more. "HAAAAAAAAA!!"

It would of been simple... for the lycan to take the vampir's life that night but it wasn't meant to be.



The sun rose and once again, life for the sun people went on. Luckily, the library was still marked as closed until the prior woman came back from her trip to Ireland.

Shuddered closed when the even strolled upon the city except for those night walkers who enjoyed the nightly bar scene and late plays of the evening. A man with his horse quickly came from a stable, heading fast into the forest with weapons upon him just in case he were to be confronted. This was no longer a pick-up but maybe a pure battle to the death tonight as he came to a clearing he knew well. As he suspected, a man was already waiting for him there. The blonde was silent before he pulled up his bony hand, a £10 paper between his fingers.

Aquamarine eyes narrowed as his horse trotted near before he was halted. "Keep it, Kuku."
The pound was put away before dark eyes met the hunter's. "So now you shall do it for free?"
"I shall not do it at all." Riku's voice boomed, strong and determined as he kept his mind locked away.
"A hunter... who shall not hunt? My, this has been the most peculiar year I have seen in many. And what is your excuse, dhampir?" The master asked, his teeth grating some as he awaited an answer.

It was not given right away as the silverette seemed to wonder it himself before his head shook. "There is no point in killing a creature who does not do what the killing originated for. He does not take the lives of humans... which is why I kill your kind to begin with. I have no need to rid of him and I have no need to steal money from you."
"Any longer than you already have."
Riku's lips thinned as he realized that the master of the vampir already knew of his game. "I shall repay you back what---"
"Silence. I do not need it for money does nothing for me. It is Sora who I want." Slowly, Kuku turned and started to walk off. "Even the ages I have lived, I am still foolish as to not learning my lesson to if I want something done right, I shall do it myself. Good evening, hunter."


Inside the library, eyes slowly opened and a mouth stretched wide to yawn, sharp fangs glistening in the moonlight. His body was slowly pushed up and down and he quickly realized why. His bed was now the naked lycan who was still in slumber. A gentle smile ran over the vampir's lips as he watched the brunette sleep some, pushing some hair out of his face before nuzzling his neck. Finally... one to call his own. Now he knew what his brothers felt like... and knew why they would do anything to protect it.

[Reno]

Feet flighted across the branches, quicker and quicker with each moment past. the blue or black under the night sky looked almost small perhaps like a bird. Below, wild cries sounded as a creature charged, large tusks dismantling the forest as it ran. It knew not what chased it only knew that it was being chased. And yellow eyes glittered with hunger, knowing not what danger was awaiting him for when he awoke the night was simple as he announced to his lovely and beautiful woman that he would be hunting for the first hour and bring back a nice catch for her dinner.

Sora's teeth sharpened and he gave a hiss before he dived right from the trees, his feet pulling together to add to his speed and tackled into the wild pig. His mouth open and sharp fangs pierced the creature as his strength pinned him down. The poor creature had not a chance, even as its feet kicked and it's head tossed all about. Instead he just drank and drank and drank, blood started to stain the floor which he knew would soon drive the predators of the night near hoping for to fight for the meat. Maybe even a lycan or two - he had certainly come past one while they hunted for their own dinner.

After a time, the brunette pulled away, licking his lips. He patted the now dead flesh of the creature, knowing it's meat would last them until next time he hunted. "Ah, that was quite satisfying." He said, glad the pain of his stomach had gone away and he stood, lifting the pig and hefting it over a shoulder, trekking towards home.

Perhaps, now that Riku seemed to be much happier, he may spend the night visiting his siblings. It had been awhile since he last attended to their attention and he was curious of their lives thus far. He especially wondered how Ven's studies were going as before he had left the manor he had been told much of the lessons.


Meanwhile, the man Sora was thinking of had much to tell him perhaps for what had been done just a night prior had changed the Vampir's life forever. And the one who had done so was beginning to stir was the gentle touches, eyes shifted open from their long sleep and he yawned some. He had not slept so well since before Aqua's demise...

And when his eyes landed on the face of the Vampir - of his mate - he smiled. His mother had been right. Good things could still follow the bad... And Ven was a very good thing. "Good morn'. Had we slept through the day truly?" That was his own fault of course... he had mated with Ven a few times last night as he recalled. He must of exhausted the other. It was lucky the library did not open and they were not found... and that no windows were around the corner of where they were now resting.

[Rikugurl]

Unfortunately, Sora would not see his siblings tonight... or for months after this moment. Like a sting of a bee, the pain was so sudden and intense that it rendered the brunette stiff in shock as nails dug right into the back of his neck, blood spilling easily that he had just taken. And then he was gone, the pig falling upon the floor, left untended and would no longer be eaten by a pretty young woman but by the carnivores of the night.

When the brunette appeared, he gasped for breath but hardly the chance to catch it as he was suddenly pushed down a set of brick stairs, making some bone break from the impact. The sound of a large door slamming could be heard behind him and as his bones slowly started to pull themselves together, he was kicked in the stomach hard. "COME ON! HEAL!" A voice boomed over him before he was kicked again. "HEAL AND FIGHT ME! SHOW ME THAT YOU ARE A TRUE VAMPIR!"
A horrid hiss came through and Sora was kicked again, hard enough to send him across the cold stone floor and into a stone wall.

Bones still tried to correct themselves and this time, the brunette could finally start to piece at least who was doing this to him. It was but a blonde he knew well. The one who had taken his life and changed him into the demon he was now. Pearl eyes stared down at him as the sharpest of fangs bared. "You are mocking me..." A low growl seemed to come from the very depths of hell as the man started to step closer.


"Mmmm~ evening." The blonde hummed before he slowly looked up into the adoring blue eyes that had been ever so stormy the night prior. "Truly we have for the moon is still young in the sky. I can feel it." He too was glad that their final resting spot was in a corner, an exit to the library that was behind some bookcases and away from the windows. The shelves had blocked the sun to their bodies, keeping them safe. He wasn't sure if it was their subconscious mind that picked this place or if it was God who was looking over them to make sure their love did not die so early.

Claws gently ran over a strong, muscled chest, running across abs lovingly as the vampir's nose nuzzled the lycan's jaw. "Has your heart settled at the loss of your past mate as you have now chosen me? I fear that... I of course cannot bare you pups..."

[Reno]

Panic and fear alighted the young and unsuspecting victim, everything have happened so suddenly his mind did not have much time to respond before he found himself on the floor, the dust of chipped bricks settling over his skin and clothes. For a time he could only lay on the floor and pant in pain while a shoulder bone repaired itself but finally he was able to lift his eyes.

As he finally saw his attacker... blood rushed and boiled. He shook on the floor but no longer due to anything but unfathomable fury. He slowly started to get to his feet, bones so sluggish as they repaired themselves. He had to hold himself against the wall but even still he met his former master's gaze, his own teeth showing... before he grinned cruelly. "No... I believe to be mocking you... is to tell you that that kick of yours was quiet weak. I believe a woman could do better!"


"That is alright. Pups are messy annoying things anyways." Terra said, no sound of loss or regret in his tone. He truly did not mind. He had never really entertained such an idea even when he was to become Aqua's mate. He had certainly taken care of many of others every season.

The wolf's limbs stretched some, before arms wound around the blonde's back, a beautiful smile on his face as he looked at the other, "Just having you is enough." He kissed him gently, a strange difference to his ardor of the night prior. But it seemed to mind the Vampir none as he returned it.

[Rikugurl]

Nostrils flared as he heard the spite that the brunette threw at him, mocking him more. If he were not so intent on torture, he would of bashed the child's skull on the wall behind him with a flick of the wrist, having him bleed out for there was no chance his bones could fix themselves fast enough to stop the hemorrhage. He only continued to walk towards him, his sight none too pretty. "I suppose you have never been kicked by a woman then." He hissed back before his hand came out and the brunette made a sorry excuse to stop it but was too slow before the claws were pushed inside his neck and he was lifted from the floor.

"I see that the hunter was even having a hard time with you, newborn. My wage was not enough to have him kill you. His plan was a fair one at that though... wait for your guard to be down before a stake driven into you. He shall wonder where his money has gone." He hissed as his dark eyes darkened even more. Wide blue eyes looked down at him, making him sneer. "Do not tell me you did not know it. The false friendship is but a classic tale. He was but adding the days to his pay and rooting his way into you until he could finally destroy you. You are nothing but salary to him."


The kiss was nice... sincere and his. He remembered seeing his mother and father kiss at night, wondering what it felt like for he was sure it was different than their kisses given to them at bedtime. He knew he had not found the feeling with Xion, nor with his brothers but he was sure what he was feeling now was it. Calm and complete. "I must say the same... though now I am worried. What of your father if he finds us out... and what of my master..." He frowned, his eyes becoming concerned as he looked out at the books around them as if they would hold the answer.

[Reno]

The wide eyes turned dark quickly, blood seeping past pale lips and wetting his chin. The third youngest Vampir was shaking all about the lack of air only somewhat troublesome. "T...That... I....I...is....a....li.....lie...." He slowly gasped out, the feeling strange and painful as his voice box had to move around the claws piercing him. But how could he believe such a story?! Such a... such a monstrous tale...

"Let me give you some wisdom little Vampir before you meet your demise. Every being in this world is selfish for that is the way to survive. They will do nothing for you, only for one's self!"

The words of the lycan he spared spoke in his memory, but his eyes shut wishing he could shake his head in denial. No, Riku was not like that! The look of calm to him at the seaside, the laughter at the beach, the words after the horse ride... no one could tell him that was all acting! That it was all false!


"I...." Terra frowned for a time, wondering what they could do. "I am uncertain for now... we must keep it hidden. And if we must... we will relocate ourselves." The body in his arms jerked such an idea sounding mad to him. "We must do what we must to stay happy Ven."

[Rikugurl]

Kuku's face became more serious as the other stated that a lair's tongue was in his mouth. "You have known the hunter for near months as I have known him since he was brought to this city. I have seen his ways and when it is money that is involved in his hunts, this is the game he has always played. A dear friend he once was to one of mine until he dusted her coffin for the last night and slammed a stake through her heart. He was but a teen then but his ways have changed none. Every night he came for his pay and every night he deemed it would be his and your last. Does that sound like the friend you have acquired, newborn?"

Claws pulled from the flesh, the brunette falling on the stone once more before the master stepped back. "A child quick at tongue shall lose it all together. He will surely come for you but not in means of helping. His smell for our blood is as strong as money when his father lays sick in bed with fever. You shall learn that you are the only one lying... to yourself." He turned, slowly heading back up the stairs. "I shall see to you weekly to see if you have become enlightened. Good evening, Sora."

The sound of the iron door slammed again and was barred up tightly.


"But... have you not learned from what he have read? Would it be selfish of us to just leave? What of your mother...? And mine brothers?" He pouted some before his hair was ruffled, a reassuring statement from the lycan which proved he did not wish to move that far.
Slowly, the blonde pulled himself from his new lover, stumbling a bit before falling back upon the floor. "Ah... I have become immobile." He pouted once more, gaining him another kiss as Terra sat up. "If -or when- I can move and walk, I was thinking that perhaps he could change the nightly activity. I haven't seen yet and mine brothers speak of it to be a lovely activity. Also... I was interested in seeing a fine, old friend of mine named Lilo. She is but my eldest brother's lover and I have yet to see her as well."

[Reno]

The Vampir lay there, gasping and choking some before a hand shakily rose to his lips and he licked it, saliva and blood smearing across the digits. He pressed them against his neck. The process was a slow one and much of his blood was lost to the tiles, staining his clothes and now useless as the cells died exposed to the air. But after a time he got the wound to close and coughed up whatever was left in his throat and lungs.

Finally he was able to stand, woozy and weak, as he stumbled to the door, intent on getting out but the stairs were a hard climb as he was still aching badly from the fight. He stumbled on the last few steps, his legs smacking into the brick stairs and his upper half slumped against the cold iron door, his lower body spread haphazardly behind him. His mind was starting to grow fuzzy though he knew he had to get free because he had to... had to return home and... give Lilo her.... her dinner and then they were planning on doing... something.... something with... something.......

Sora's blue eyes slid closed and his body becoming limp as he fell asleep.


"I think it shall be when." Terra said with a grin, standing and lifting Ven up before settling him down on the comfort of the couch. "You can probably not even put on your own clothes and that shall not do - though I must admit I would not mind watching you walk about bare. Then again I would hope this sight is only for I as I am a jealous person." The other gave him a slightly exasperated look but it was quickly disappated when he was kissed quite thouroughly by the lycan.

"We can do whatever you like after you can stand on your own." The other murmured when he broke away, believing life despite the certain hills they would face, had become easier.

How ever wrong he was.


Seven days precisely passed, the sun rising and falling, the moon just a little different every night also doing such. The news of a loss had spread though the knowledge was lost to those chained down and locked up, knowing not the news was indeed about him. He did not know how his brothers cried when they found he had cried in their lovers' arms when they discovered he had been lost. Knew not of the weeping woman he loved so dearly laying in her bed with a lonely, broken heart.

In fact, the little basement in which he was, Sora seemed to have forgotten everything. Had forgotten the scratched on the walls, desperately trying to claw out and break trough stone, had been down by him. Knew not the fingernails laying at the foot of the iron door were also his, done for the same reason the marks upon the walls where there - yet the door had ltitle more than a scratch on it for his effort and loss.

All he really understood was the incredible hunger in his gut, sickly yellow-pearl eyes staring at nothing as he laid in the corner of the basement like a frightened rabbit. His mouth was open some, raspy gasps falling from the pale lips and brushing past the sharp fangs. Drools was slipping past his lips and chin, dotting the brick floor under him without notice. Had a doctor appeared before him now he would have called him by a very interesting medical term.

Brain dead.

Then again that doctor was probably only a human doctor - and perhaops had skill with a rat or two. Yet he certainly knew nothing of Vampirs - probably did not even believe in such things since who could honestly survive without a beating heart? If however he did know even a smidgen of knowledge about them, he would know that the young Vampir was not brain dead at all, that his mind was working all the time, senses on overdrive so he could hear trickling water dripping in the stone a few stories up. Raining it was. He could even concentrate carefully enough to hear the sound of footsteps wandering the house though he knew not the knowledge of who it was or could be.

Simply he was starving. Vaguely, a notion in the back of his head was forever there. The idea that he should be dead or perhaps at least - no, definitely dead. Yet somewhere in the middle of it all, he remembered a hazy image a human woman when his eyes had merely been yellow and hungry but his mind still soemwhat there - a servant, coming down the stairs. He remembered the shaking glass of blood on his lips - remembered the sharp bite of metal into his palm that prevented the craze of attacking her.

Now, he wished he had taken her, bitten her and sucked her dry. Ripped at the skin, torn at the muscle and organs - every inch every centimeter - until every last bit of it was dranken from every available body part. Didn't care about the nagging bit of his brain that told him it was wrong, silenced behind his hunger and pain. The pain... such pain... so hungry....

[Rikugurl]

If the starving vampir knew just whose feet those were, he would of screamed, cried, done anything in his power to call out for the brother who was birthed right after him. Blue eyes darkened as the blonde leaned up against the wall, sighing some. He had been up and down, inside and out of this manor for it was the only place that had a small hint of his disappearing sibling. The night he was taken by the strong lycan, they had not left the library until the night after when they visited the beautiful woman he had known as a child. To his shock, she looked awful and wrecked, having stated that Sora had left the evening past and never returned again.

On inspection, his coffin was empty as well and since he had slept in it since he had moved here, there was no question that he went missing. But why would he leave? And where would he go? Even if it were a surprise, he would of left a note stating not to worry and that he would be absent for a few days.

Ventus did not wish to report to Lilo again without an answer. "I must see if Terra has found any clues." He spoke to himself before rushing from the manor back to the city where he was sure Terra would meet him.


For the poor woman who was heartsick for her love, she sat upon her window, looking out at the streets as if her lover were about to walk right down them with something in tow. Why had he not returned? Had something horrible happen when he went to get the pig?
Had a lycan gotten him? And even when he came, she had a guilt upon her heart that she must confess to him... for the night she knew he was gone, she drowned herself with alcohol and surely did something she would regret.

Her dull eyes suddenly widened however as she saw a black carriage coming down the rainy path, stopping in front of her flat. She swallowed as she watched it for some time, wondering if anyone had called for it, but for some reason she seemed to know in the back of her mind that this carriage... was for her. It majick was stranger as it finally reached her and slowly she left from the sill and walked to her closet, pulling over a shall and then a cloak before leaving her flat. She walked down the stairs and to the door, heading out into the rain with the hood over her head and the doors of the carriage opened wide for her.

She stepped in, her hood coming down off her head and the door close. The two horses huffed some before the carriage was pulled away.


On the other side of town, another carriage was coming in. This one had a coachman with two brown horses and inside was a silverette, alone and rather exhausted looking. He had to take his father to another city where a better doctor was located for his fever was not cure by the medication. He was told to come back in three days or stay but knowing that Lilo's lover was absent, there was no one else who could keep her company.

[Reno]

A sigh admitted to the air, a tired wolf in disguise sitting upon the steps of the library entrance. He looked down at his hands, raw and red from endless running, and he sighed again, resting his legs on his knees so they hung, untouched. He had been near and far in the forest, passing so close to his uncle's habitat that the clan had scented him though luckily by the time they did he was long gone. Yet still he had found no sign of his mate's sibling. There was nothing for him to find - a scent while existing was gone by now as Vampir scent was very faint. Most of their scents could be masked by their stolen blood - a defense mechanism against the lycan no doubt.

Yet he had hoped to find... something. A scrap of clothing, a broken trial, a splatter of blood, a dead body! He figured that without fail the Vampir had faded away during his hunt - but why?

The wolf's head raised when he heard feet crunching on the ground - at the sight of his lover he only frowned sadly and bowed his head. He had no good news for him.


Meanwhile, the second brother of the three was doing little better. His heart was heavy and like Lilo, he had hoped the drink would qualm his heart. Yet, the taste of it did nothing to thrill him, so he only sadly stared down at the glass for hours and hours, barely making it through one in the night.

And yet even through all this, he was glad to say one man was always attending to him. Always near to his side despite his depression and lowliness. He would have smiled or maybe cried about it, but emotion was hard at the moment.

He just... wished he knew what happened.

Well, he had a feeling he knew. Axel had warned Sora of straying with the dhampir and his foolishness no doubt had been his end. Yet without proper evidence he could not rightfully take his revenge of ripping out that bloody monster's wretched heart. In fact both he and Axel had come to this conclusion but their was a missing piece to it all. Had it been the hunter who had killed his brother... why was his head not trophied upon the gate with the others? He hardly doubted it had to do with saving Lilo's heart - the man seemed too proud and uncaring for such trivialities.

If only Roxas knew the truth of the deceit... oh what his anger would be then.

[Rikugurl]

The young vampir panted some as he came to a trot when coming closer to the library. With the way his lover held his head, he knew he hadn't found a thing as well. "Nothing...?" He had to ask just to make sure and unfortunately, he was correct. "I see... thank you for your time in aiding me." He spoke softly as he sat next to lycan, a sigh admitting from his lips as he wondered where else they could look. What were they missing? As he pondered the unknown, his eyes traveled to see the palms of his new lover and saw how much they seemed to be hurting. "Ah, Terra..."

He gently reached out, taking one of the man's hands before turning it to see it better. Were his feet the same? Had he gone through this much pain to help him. Slowly, he lifted Terra's hand to his mouth, licking it gently and slowly it started to heal it a bit. It wasn't much, for he was not as powerful as the rest in his clan who could heal slashing scars but it was enough to ease the poor man.


As the driverless carriage drove out of the city, it was pulled down a path somewhat beaten though hardly driven through for decades. Still, as the horses came by, the trees and plants, bushes and branches slowly made sure that the carriage could get through with no issue. It came up to a shadowy manor, hidden well like a shadow and if it did not have light from it's windows, it would be impossible to notice. The carriage stopped at the entrance and the door slowly opened, allowing the fair woman to step out. She slowly walked up the stairs of the manor, the door opening and inviting her in.

She made her way inside the grand entrance, pulling off her hood so her velvet black hair could be seen against her pale skin. Still in trance, she moved through the first floor of the manor, the closed doors opening as she came to them much like they would of a lycan that came here. Instead of heading to the master's chambers, she came to a door that was by the entrance to the courtyard. It was barred and seemed to be that way for centuries... but a creak filled the air and the bar rose, the door slowly opening with a horrible sound. She walked through, her shoes stepping on cold stones as she walked down the stairs. Just as she got to the third step, a figure walked down the hall above her and as if he didn't focus too much on it, pushed the door close as he continued to walk by.

The bar slid down, hardly making a sound but it seemed to trigger something in the woman as her eyes went wide and she blinked, catching herself on the wall. "Wha... what happened? Where am I?" She glanced around the wet and cold basement, a chill running through her until she saw---
"SORA!"
Legs pushed her down the stairs as she came flying towards her love, her hnads taking his cheeks as tears filler her eyes. "My love!"


Back in the sleeping city, another carriage came up to the young woman's flat and the hunter got out, stretching some before glancing at the driver. "I shall have your payment tomorrow." The driver nodded before hitting the reins and away he went. The silverette was just about to head towards the small building when he paused, the stench of vampir and powerful majick filling his nose. Slowly he turned his head, looking behind him at the empty street. It was then that a lamp made an object on the ground shine.

As fair fingers pulled her cloak hood over her head to protect her hair from rain, an ivory hair clip fell onto the brick street before she got into the carriage.

The clip Sora had given her.
He looked down the street, seeing the signs of wagon wheels being left in the bricks from majick. "Lilo!" He cried, knowing she was in true danger. His hand quickly came to his mouth and he gave a mighty whistle.

At the judges home, the stable was dry and quiet, only the sound of the rain hitting the roof could be heard. At least until now. Black ears shifted atop a stallion's head before he suddenly reared and neighed, pulling on a rope that wasn't very far away. The rope released two bags that were tied together with a rope and as it dropped upon the horse with enough force and weight, the two bags swung under the horse's belly, came up over his flank and down again to create perfect saddlebags. Not caring about the fact of it raining, the horse was out of the stable like a bat into the night and quickly followed the scent to find his master.

A small smile fell upon Terra's face indeed finding the licks quite comforting to the burn his hand seemed to have. It could not be helped. The terrain was very rough and unforgiving to his paws, and having traveled mile upon mile consecutively with little rest, the pads got worn and injured overtime. "It is not so bad." He said, brushing it off easily. He seemed not to mind having causes some slight pain to himself - as long as it was for Ven it seemed worth it.

At least here, on the steps they were protected from the rain falling thanks to the elongated roof above, so they were not even more miserable then they already were. To be out there and rushing about was no fun and he certainly never liked the way it matted his fur down.


Eyes, every intent as he had a faint feeling he was meant to be greeted by a man who had promised he would return - stared as the door flicked open. The sound of rushing blood and a beating heart though made his mouth water. It was not the one of before - the one who placed him here.

No, this was his dinner.

And so foolish it was. Like a mouse confronting a lion, suddenly she was there, the pulses in her wrists roaring in his eyes. What a stupid creature. His lips pulling back and he gave a hiss, his head twisting as he snapped at her arms. She was lucky, her womanly fear having made her already tug away at his utterance so the teeth missed her by far. Wild eyes watched her though, still so near knowing he only had a limited amount of strength to get up and take her down.

The pain in his stomach, ever greater now that his meal was here, made him attack. Suddenly he was off the floor, his hands grabbing her shoulders and thrusting her down onto the stone, stunning her some. She was lucky to not be pierced by his claws as they no longer existed, as they had been lost in fruitless attempts of escape. Had she of been her scent of blood would of made him wild.

But even still he was a frightening sight as he looked down at her with a snarl his teeth opening and more saliva dripping from them like a rabid dog. He was ready to kill her - very ready.
