Shadowsblade: Betrayal And Forgiveness free porn video

Created for war and forged in pain, dealing with demons within and without! In this part: Rohanna is betrayed and hurt by a person close to her.....but at its end....redemption and forgiveness ---------------------------------------------------------------- As I sat in my room pondering on staying here at Whateley OR if I was going to leave Whateley, OR worse! me jailed or stuck in ARC! Sunday February 18 4:45 am Outskirts of Boston A small chancery of the church A small group of men gather in a back hidden room if the old building. This room is one of the first built here and has been lost to time, as ever being there. What seems to be the leader of the group, goes to a large table in the dark rooms center and the man next to him hands him files, as he watches a video play on a flat panel on the wall. That video playing, is of a Dark elf. That is chopping and burning down with spells, four well armed humans on a city street. Then the video shows the aftermath of the carnage, bodies laying in the streets of the four men and the adjacent damage they did to the street of all the civilians with their gunfire. The video ends and the lights come up a little in the room. The leader slams his balled fist on the table, covered in photos and files. "What happened! This ambush was perfect!" he howls out in anger. The leader stands into the better light over the table and now all can see that he is a middle-aged man, wearing a priests outfit with white collar. The man next to him slides a file to him and opens it "Father the attack would have worked if this "ELF' was not there." he almost spits the word 'elf' out in distain "Until just this morning all we had on her? Was she was going shopping with the BEAST! Then our person in Whateley. All they informed us on her powers was, she could teleport and was a mage....maybe? Then all the rest of the shopping group, was to be Donna...the Beast's guardian and one other small elf of no notable powers?" "SO what was the change in information!" the priest demands loudly, as he picks up the file off the table and starts to flip through it's contents. "Well....Father. We had planed that the beast...Sara. Might try and teleport out of the area somehow or her dad try to help. OR worst case, Fey the old elf queen would come. So in that case...a spell was set on the area, to slow and stop most teleporters and gates from being usable to and out of the area. This was one of the spells your contact provided to us." "So GO ON! what changed!?" he roared again. "This... Father. Our informant gave us this just a few hours ago." and the man turns to the screen again and presses a button on a remote. Then the video screen shows the SIM arena of Whateley. In the area, a female in dark armor, with a skull embroidered on the face mask. Just runs from group to group of simulated soldiers and she is killing them all with ease and laughing at it all like a maniac! The priest watches the video for several minutes and then howls like a madman at the video "WHY was this not sent to us sooner!" "Father...she did this SIM run, just last night...at near the AM hours? So all of this was not available, till just now?" "Hummm" the priest sounds out "then lets get plan 'B' ready for when Sara leaves Whateley again!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday February 18 5:35 am Whateley Academy - Poe cottage In Gwen's room, the small elf stirs for the hundredth time tonight. She just can't seem to get to sleep, as she keeps waking to see if she can still 'feel' via her Pixies, if Rohanna is still in the building. Gwen finally gives up and rolls out of the bed with a huge yawn. When she does, she finds her roommate is up and leaving the room. "Where are you going? she asks. "Me?...I am off the Dunwich to shop a little and have a lunch out? Did you want to come?....or...maybe I can stay and we can talk over what happened yesterday more?" her roomie, asks with genuine concern weighing on her voice. "No...you go and have fun. I am going to check on Ro and see how she is doing." Then Gwen thinks 'if she is still there...as I am not so sure?' Her roomie bends down to her on the bed and gives her a hug "Call me if anything happens...especially if Carson comes to get her! As the whole school, knows about that crap from her last night!" "I will!" Gwen chirps, as she remembers that the students will most likely stand-up for Rohanna. As she protected family....and the unwritten rule of Whateley is NO ONE MESSES with family!....EVER....and lives. Then her roomie leaves out the door, with a wave to her. Gwen jumps up, gets her things together and off to the showers she runs. After she gets back to her room from that shower, she tosses on a the first outfit of t-shirt and jeans her eyes lay-on and runs from the room toward Ro's room. ----------------------------------------- In my room I have been thinking half the night and crying for the other half. I am so worried about what Carson said....or maybe lied about. I find that humans lie far too much! So, I still am not so sure she will protect me or I am not going to jail or getting tossed into ARC for years! As I sit curled up on my futon and the light of dawn creeps into my windows. I can hear the other kids stir, then I hear one just outside my door....and its listening at the door. I know its Gwen, by her footsteps and heartbeat. Gwen finally knocks at my door, after listening for a minute "Hey Ro can I come in?" "NO!" I snap back at her, through the closed door. "Aww come on, let me in?" I sit there and think it over for some time...then Violet asks me from her perch over my bed "Let big sister in...she can help?" "Fine! ...but if she has bad news its your fault!" I warn Violet in my rage at the world at large. I then yell at the door "Come in!" Gwen opens the door slowly, then comes in the small dorm room and finds her new friend, in near the exact same way she found her a week ago....on or near a bed and under a sheet! And all balled up just like this. Gwen hops over to me, tears off the sheet from covering my head and yelps out at me "Good morning!" in a cheery voice, with a large grin on her face. "What's SO good about it?" I say, as I grab at the sheet again and go to tear them from her hands. "You're here?" she tells me, as she tilts her head to me. "SO?" my single word drips in sarcasm. "You're here...you choose to stay? That's the good thing!" Gwen notices now how wet the sheets are near my head "But did you cry all night? As you're all wet? Then you really love sheets, as this is the way I found you the last time?" she giggles in hopes it will help. "Yes....I did, I am upset! AND then, I like my sheets...they help?" my voice trembles, as I finally snatch all the sheets back from her, then cover back up. Gwen glances up to Violet, who is sitting on the shelf over the bed and questions her "Has she been like this all night?" Violet, nods to Gwen as she speaks "Yes all night. Rohanna is very....upset?" Gwen once she sees what to do, goes and sits next to me. Then leans up to me "Hey lets get-up and go have breakfast?" "No..its safer here....if they come?" I say coldly. Gwen does not understand that response from me and then looks over the room, to suddenly see what I mean by that? The whole room is covered in magic wards...and they are big ones! All that has to be done by me... is tap that Ley line near here to feed them...and then no one gets in!....at least easily? The next thing that catches Gwen's eye, is the room. Its sterile, like a military boot camp room. Everything is in its place, neat and straight! 'I have to get out with her and change this...make it look more like a home?....later.' She then smuggles close to me "Well if this is what you want?" she states "then I am staying with you, till you feel better!" and she pulls the sheet to cover herself up too! ------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday February 18 8:35 am Whateley Academy - Poe cottage Now I hear someone pounding on my door, they are hit it so hard, it startles me off the bed and then I hear Rosalyn yelling to be let in. I stand there not knowing what to do? I want her in here...with me? But she is a human...and several of them, tried yesterday to kill me! Then it dawns on me...'what am I doing...she is a friend. I can't lump her in with the rest?' As I think, Gwen has got up too and goes to the door "Hey? should I let her in?" she asks me and waits at the door. I nod back to her, as I sit back down. Gwen opens the door for me and Rosalyn blasts into the room with force. She leaps over to me and wraps me in a hug of death "I just heard! I was asleep all this time, no one told me what had happened till I was showering and I ran down after I heard! You should have come and told me all this, not stayed in here all night and cried?" she rambles out fast. "Its safer here" is all I can say. Roz looks at Gwen and questions her "Safer? what does she mean by that?" Gwen's eyes roll to Roz "Ohhh if you cold see magic like us...you would know! This room is surrounded by a minefield of magic!" Gwen jests, as she goes to sit on the other bed across the room. "Humm...but lets get you cleaned up and go out?" Roz asks. "No." "What...why?" "She has been that way for hours, since I got into this room at least?" Gwen tells Roz. "You have to get-up and eat at least?" "I ate last night." "Where" they both ask in near unison. "The Grove." Then Rosalyn remembers and starts to look me over "They told me you got shot in the face....and back? But I don't see any wounds on you?" "The Grove healed me." "Well that sounds good, but lets get you up and cleaned up. Then we go and eat?" "I don't want to" I whine back to her. Gwen is getting more than worried, as she has seen depression before in Poe and this is how it starts. A new Idea pops into her head. "Hey lets get Ro fixed up with one of Bunny's cell phones! That will cheer her up! A new tech gizmo to play with?" For some reason I look up from my staring at the floor "I can do that?" I say softly. "Okay!" Gwen beams, then grabs one of my towels, as Roz gets me standing and out the door. We all go down the hallway to the bathroom and they sit me on the small bench on one wall. Gwen gets a cloth all wet for me and I wash up as best I can with it. Roz hands me a towel and Gwen helps out with brushing out my super long hair. After we are all done, we go back down the hallway past my room and Roz just tosses my towel in my door, as we pass the room. I have to fight the urge, to go get it and put it away! They both drag me to Bugs room, knock and Bunny answers the door with a huge grin on her face "Hey Gwen what's up?" she asks after its open. "Bunny we thought it might be a great Idea after yesterday, that Rohanna has one of your...way cool phones!....just in case?" "I can see that! So lets get her all set" then she opens the door and for the first time, I see her egg based nightmare of a room...It hurts my eyes and stomach to see all of the strange eggs that fill half of the room. As I am let in, I see Riptide is her roomie and now I see why they hit the shower room at the same time. Rip waves me over to sit next to her and I do. Violet, on the other hand, starts to explore all the strange eggs in the room and pokes at several with her spear.... Violet was flying about the large collection of absurdly painted eggs and each one of them was some sort of robot or contraption. She poked at one till it moved, when she clearly hit the 'on' button and then it sped around the room sweeping up. Since it moved so suddenly and spooked her with a loud 'eeekk' coming from her. Violet then chased it for a second and was about to stab it rather hard.....till Bunny tells her to stop! All I could do, was laugh at it all. Bunny after she finished scolding my Pixie...while I watched on, she gets out a large case. Then pulls from it, a real nice box and inside is a flat cell phone "Here we are, my latest! You're going to be one of the first to get one!" Bunny boasts to me. I watch as she gets it turned on and sets up the basics for me. Then she asks me "How should we lock it to you...so you're the owner and no one else can use it?" "I don't know?" I shake my head to her. "Humm...fingerprints?" "Don't have them." "Eye...retina?....then she looks at me in the eyes...Ohh heck, that will not work on you. And I know voice is a bad idea? How about DNA?" "Blood?" I ask. She nods back to me...."No, that is a bad idea to have that in the phone...blood based magic... is very bad, if someone gets their hands on it!" I say flatly. "So what can we use?" she looks at me "What is really different about you?" Gwen jumps in with an idea of her's "She has two hearts? So I guess heart beat?...even one of them is different, as it has six chambers and beats differently?" "Ohhh cool, that will work fine. Lets just have you put a finger on the phones touch panel and it can read your heart beating. That will lock it, just fine." She shows me how to get that reading and we do it several ways to get a good reading with added back-ups of one heart beating and both, then with all six chambers firing on them. Then after I am set as it's owner. I insist that Violet be able to use it...just in case. So Bunny, has her place her small hand on the screen and it adds it to the locks on the phone. As Violet does this, Bunny thinks its too cute not to take a picture of something that small and cute using one of her phones! Next on the list, she sets up the basic 'AI' on the phone for me and enters everyone's phone numbers...so that I have them...The whole building that is! The next step is her running me through the basics. As we go I ask "Does this have maps in it?" "Ohh yes...it has GPS!" "GP....what?" I ask. "GPS...global positioning systems. Its a bunch of satellites, that tell the phone where its at." she adds. "Really?" "Yep...but my phones, do that far better than the regular ones. Mine use the DARPA-Military satellites and with that. This phone here, can tell you where its at, to the quarter inch! Even in this building! AND if your worried...my phones can't be tracked...unless you want them to be? Or they can't be bugged or traced!" she boasts even prouder. "So can this tell me...how far something is away from me in a direction?" "Yep to the inch!" "Please...show me!" I ask more than excited now. Bunny sits next to me and shows me how to look-up a city or place and enter it into the GPS mapping system. I look-up Central park in New York and get the exact direction and distance. Then Bunny shows me Google earth and is satellite pictures of where I am looking at. After I get all that done, I stand up and state to her "I want to try something?" Gwen stares at me and I can see she is worried a little "What?...if I can ask?" "Porting to places...via this!" "Ohhh I don't think that's a good idea?" she warns. "Ohh I will be fine and right back too!" Violet, just knows what I am up too and flies over to my shoulder to wait. I look at the map and finger drag the image to part of the park that near no one should be in. It gives me the measurement and the direction via me spinning it a little. I get what I want and start reaching out to the target. Gwen jumps up at me "Ohh don't do that! Its a bad idea!" I grin to her evilly and port! When I come into the park, I have to 'dodge' a tree and once 'in' I find I am alone. Just like I wanted to be! I grab my illusion charm, put it on my neck and walk out into the park for a look-see! Violet on my shoulder, she fades into her invisibility spell. Just a few yards off, I spot a pretzel cart and walk over to it and wait my turn. ---------------------------------------- Back in Bunny's room.... Gwen is going a little nuts, that I have been gone for over five minutes "This is bad....real bad. We might have just gave her a way out of here and she might not come back!" she shakes her head. Roz comforts Gwen..."She will be back...I am sure of it!" Gwen then spins excitedly on Bunny "Can you tell where she is?" "Nope...not on my phones. Unless she wants it?" she shakes her head and her twin pony tails bounce about. "Just great! We all just gave the keys to the Kingdom to a porter!" Gwen huffs out, as she falls to the bed in defeat. ------------------------------------------------ After my wait in line, I get five nice hot pretzels with cinnamon sugar on them. After I pay the guy for them all, I walk off into the trees, so I can't be seen and port back to Poe. As I fade into that room, I can see Gwen is jumping up and down...going nuts! I fade in, hand her a pretzel quickly and then the others follow "I had to get something...to show you all I made it!" Gwen takes the offered food, takes a huge! bite and shakes the rest of it in my face "Ohhh you!.... if this pretzel was not so GOOD!" she mumbles past the food in her mouth "I would bop you on the head!" she says taking yet another huge bite. All I can do is giggle at her, while I nibble at the food in my victory of finding a new way to explore the world. As we eat and Bunny shows me even more on the phone. Rip jumps up from her watching us go over the maps in the phone, with an idea "Hey can you go get me a burger from In-and-out? in cali!" I glare at her and her idea "Why would I do that? I can't eat those anymore?" "You can't?" With a nod of mine to Roz and she smacks Rip on the back of her head "Elves don't or CAN'T, eat meat you goof!" Rosalyn informs her. "Well I did not know...I just thought....you all just skipped it by choice?" and I can see, she is not happy she mentioned it. "Well lets go get breakfast" Gwen yelps. It pops into my mind after some thought about it..."Okay...and I will cave and get that burger for ya Rip...But you owe me BIG! I wanted to see how far I can 'port' anyway?" I grab the phone off the bed and look-up the best place to go too...I am looking for one that has a spot to 'land' in, that is not really seen! I find what I want, drop a invisibility spell on me and port out! After sometime, I come back with several bags of food...way more than the three human girls in the room can eat! They all look at me, the full of food bags and Rip asks first "What are we going to do with all this?" "Well the fries are mine and Gwen's for the most part...as that is all we can eat? Then a burger or two is for Roz. Then, the others? You can share some with Chaka...your girl, at breakfast today...the rest? ...I guess pass them out as we walk out to go eat?" I suggest with a shrug of my shoulders to her. At a group nod approval to my idea, we gather up the food I bought and start off to crystal hall and our breakfast. On our way out, Rip grabs Toni from her room and I toss a few burgers to the Poe folks on our way out. As I get to the entry doorway of Poe, Mrs. Horton is already standing there and she seems to have some concern written all over her face "Well good to see you out of your room" she smiles at me. I look down, as I get nearer to her "Yes Mrs. Horton...they dragged me out." "Hey its all fine...just if you....you know? Come to me?" she asks. "Yes...I might" She finally notices the bags of burgers and asks me "In-and-out burgers? That's in California...only?" "Rip wanted a burger...so I went and got it?...Mrs. Horton?" I mumble more than sheepishly to her. "Rohanna? You know, you should not leave the campus without telling us? As we have to know where you are at?" "Yes ma'am I will...just....I got all excited." "Its fine...just try and tell us...next time?" She says and then gives me a hug, to show it. After she lets go of me, my small group of Gwen, Roz and Bunny goes out and I port the whole pack to Crystal. The rest with Rip, Toni and a few others. They all gather up, as Rip wants to keep a group of Posies near me for support after yesterday's mess and they head into the tunnel network to get there. Once I am in crystal and waiting in the food line....the mumbling and whispers from the other students starts! I can hear almost every word and they are all chatting about what I had to do. I try and 'tune' them all out...but its not really working at all. So...I grab a bunch to eat and as I do that....Violet whispers in my ear, that she wants try out some of the fruits. So I get what she points at and fill her a small plate. Then, the group gathers back up and goes up to the usual table. As the group all sits and chats it up. I try and 'not' hear all the negative 'buzz' around me. 'its just not working' But I keep up with all chatting at my table and Rosalyn next to me is trying hard to help me keep calm...via a touch to my hand, now and then. But what seems to keep me the calmest is Violet, who is trying real hard to eat strawberries off her small plate...as its just too cute...I had forgotten, what its like to have a Pixie around me all the time. During my last life as a Drow, the last few decades, I had no companion like her. As most of them were dead or in hiding. My head spins right then, as just a few tables off I can hear Peepers squeaky voice coming this way! My hand drops its fork, to clatter on my plate and anger rises in me...as I just know that moron wants to mess with me. A hiss comes form me "udtila nindol rivvil...lebb har ssinssrin aphyon? Usstan orn belbau ol ulu ukta!" (does this human...round ear, want death? I will give it to him!) Gwen and Rosalyn both see and hear that 'sound' from me and start to look around for why I am mad suddenly. Just as I am about to get up and finish him...for good! Sara bumps into my head ~"Rohanna ....don't, I know what you're thinking of doing. I can feel it?"~ ~"Where have you been?"~ I ask. ~"Trying real hard to find out, who did this...I will see you later"~ and she fades off. But I see Hippolyta and Feral get up from the table next to ours and walk over to Peeper, as he comes up the stairs. I can just make out what is said, as I pick up my fork and a grin comes over my face. "Peeper you scummy male....get lost, she does not need your crud now!" Hipp growls at him, as she towers over him, in her Amazonian size. Feral glances at her clawed hands and shines the tips of them on her shirt, as she warns him "Leave Rohanna alone today...heck this lifetime!" "She is news! I have to interview her, as the story is still fresh!" his squeaky voice demands. "I should let you go over there and die! But she is a friend...and one of us Poe kids...we protect our own....so GO!" Hipp yells at him now and shows she is not kidding anymore! "I need to se...." and Feral stops that word, with a swipe and that swipe shreds his shirt. Now peeper looks down at his thoroughly torn shirt and sees no blood, as Feral is that 'good' with her claws! "GO....NOW!" Feral growls at him "Or we hurt you...and Paige will wipe every computer you ever own from now on!" she threatens him even further. He looks over at Paige, sitting at the next table eating...who just grins back at him and then waves to him. Then she opens her custom laptop and her electric blue eyes glow a little more, as her power over computers comes alive. Peeper is about to say one more thing and he stops as he sees.....Lancer, Beltane, and lots of others stand up. Then Constance, one of the other elves of Whateley bumps into him from behind and whispers "Watch out, you're about to get hurt bad or die?" she then smiles at him, as he turns to stare at her. He gazes around the room once more and hears the distinct sound of knuckles cracking... and its coming from all over. Greasy leans over to his friend now, as he hears all that "Hey boss, its sure getting hot in here!" he snivels at him "Okay....I will leave...for now. BUT! soon enough, I will get that interview with her!" Peeper shouts out loud enough, so that he is sure I can hear him. As I hear that....and my mind considers it a threat! I jump to my feet and glare at him, as he backs away from Hipp. Rosalyn stands up next to me and holds on to my arm...hoping I will not do something stupid? "Hipp....let him come here!" I wave to her and him "My other blades, they have yet to taste human blood this week!" I yell out even louder at them both. Violet flies to my shoulder and is growling at him....she is waiting till I say...GO! Hipp and Feral stand aside, then give him an inviting wave on toward me and look to be giving him...his wish...a quick death! Peeper backs away even faster, as he remembers. I do not play 'the threats game' at all. I actually hurt people and have done worse this weekend. After Greasy and he have backed up several yards, they both speed off to the exit doors. After they are gone, I hear one male voice a couple of tables off yell in defeat "Shoot, I lost! I had money on her killing him!" As I see them both go out the door, I regain my calm again and sit. Roz gives me a hug and whispers in my ear "Thanks for trying....you did pretty well, considering he was pushing you?" As I nod to her and the table...goes back to chatting it up. Most of what I now hear, involves me going near all over the world to get favorite food for someone there? I interrupt the chat "Hey I am not a taxi or a pizza boy?" with a giggle out at them all. -------------------------------------------- Just outside the doors of Crystal hall Peeper runs out the door, quickly followed by a winded Greasy and they both bump into Everheart, who is coming up to the doors to grab her morning meal. "Hey Everheart?" Peeper whines at her and wheezes from his short run "Yes?" she says dryly back. "That dark elf...Rohanna she threatened me!" "I am sure, she did not do that?" she groans, as she crosses her arms...showing her impatience to the boy "Yes she did!" he squeals out, as Greasy nods along with this Boss and his words. "We both know that, she does not threaten...she DOES! But I saw it all on the video system. Peeper?" she looks at him more intently now "Do you have a death wish...leave her alone...please? As its lots of paperwork if she kills you?" "So you're going to do nothing!" "That's right...my boy...nothing." "How about her attacking me at the student store? She did that Friday?" "I heard...and still don't care?" she rolls her eyes at him "As I heard, you were insulting her and she reacted. Besides, all that was hurt was your pride...Peeper." Everheart gets closer to the boy, to whispers to him "AND then, if it was me...as a student, you said that too?...or about. I would have busted your arm....or maybe a finger?" Everheart smiles to him and walks into crystal hall. Peeper just shakes in anger and Greasy shakes in fear! --------------------------------------------------- Back in Crystal hall As I sit with the group, I notice Everheart comes in the doors below us and I start to scan the room searching....looking for threats. Gwen notices I have stopped eating and am far jumpier than a few minutes ago...even after Peeper and his crud. "Rohanna? What's up, you're all tense?" Gwen asks me. "Everheart came in...." is all I say. Gwen looks around to see Sam at the take-out line and getting something to go "Hey I think its all right....she is just eating?" she explains. My eyes just keep looking....searching Gwen can now see my issue at its heart. Every time I get calmed down...some little thing sets me off again? Gwen, while she thinks on my issues. She sees Ayla come toward the table and an idea comes to her. "Hey Ayla...come here and sit near me please?" Ayla does as asked, as there is an open seat right there. As she gets seated and puts out her silverware "What's up?" she asks. "Well I have a little favor to ask ya?" "Yes?" she answers, while getting all her food properly spiced with pepper. "Well I would hate to have you miss some of that fine food of yours? But Rohanna is jumpy as heck again! AND maybe you can help her order a motorcycle...a rare one? That might calm her down a little?" "Humm" she tones out while readying a bite "What kind is it?" Gwen gets her laptop out and finds the link she made for Ro...."This one?" Ayla looks at the page shown "Humm" she says as she looks it over, then eats another bite. After its gone, she says "Well that one is a rare one indeed and expensive!" "Ya I know, but I am sure it...or at least ordering it, will get her mind off...all this crud that is going on?" Ayla, looks the green haired elf over for a second as she eats..."Hey? Are you alright after yesterday? I heard and saw some of what happened and it was not so....nice? "I am dealing with it....Its just....now I know why, in some small way? How and why, Rohanna is so messed up after seeing all that." Ayla nods her understanding...."I can help, I know someone that is in the racing world, who can get that done for her. But can it wait, till I am done and we go to the Poe sunroom?" she asks. "Thanks Ayla!" Gwen grins at her. "No problem....I kinda want to see her do better...as she is real interesting, to say the least!" she laughs. As I watch Everheart leave the hall, I scan the room a few times again...just to be sure she is gone? Then Gwen taps my shoulder and gets my attention to her "Hey Rohanna?" I nod to her and start eating again "Ayla tells me, she can get that bike of yours ordered...most likely?" "Really?" I say a little excited, as I look toward Ayla, who nods back to me. Gwen then spins her laptop to me, to show me that page for the bike. After she slides the laptop to me, I start going over the page again. To be sure this is what I want? Then I drop into the options for the bike I have selected. I start selecting all the options, that will get rid of the 'iron' on the bike or steel. As even thou its not...'cold iron'... it can and will affect my spells in someway when I ride it. Then most of all, its mere presence will make it harder for me to 'store' in my pocket space. As I go along that list and check most of it, I watch as the price of this one bike climbs up and up! But I want it! Then add, it will last me years, as I can only ride it on some weekends or so? Then the last option was gone over in my mind and the list of what I wanted was complete. In all total, it's cost would be almost all I had in my personal accounts. Besides anything I set as 'academy money' THAT I would never touch! As its not mine to use, in my mind! A tap gets Gwen's attention to me, from her talking to Ayla "Here is what I want?" "Wow that's quite a list off stuff to be done on it. But I can see why...you want all the steel or iron gone!" She tells me, then spins the laptop to Ayla to look at. All she says back is "Good I will get my guy on this, when I get back to Poe and we can see what else he can do then?" and she takes the webpage and copies the list onto her cell phone...a Bunny model like mine! The last bits of my now cold food, are now off the plate and in me! So I am now the last one done eating and the rest of my group starts to get up to leave. Gwen asks me quietly, as I drop off my empty plates "Hey do you want to go to the store and get more stuff to make that room of yours...Look more like a nice place...instead of that military bunk room, it now resembles?" "Ya that might be a great idea. Besides I have to get Violet a pillow to sleep on or something?" I look over to her sitting on my shoulder "sounds like an idea, to you?" She beams out to me in her joy "Yes that would make me happy!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A few minutes later we walk into the big campus store, I grab a small shopping basket to carry, as this time I don't have much to buy and I have plans for my money now! Gwen leads me off and Roz takes up the rear. The first stop Gwen leads me to, is a huge machine and a sampling of picture frames hanging on the wall. I watch, as she starts flipping though pictures on a computer screen mounted on the machine. "So lets get you a poster or artwork or TWO! For that room of yours?" I peek over her shoulder, as she flips through the list "So what do you want?" she asks me. "I don't know? I only had one poster at home...A huge poster of 'Bullet' with Steve McQueen? I wish I still had it!" Gwen flips the computer into a webpage, to search out an original of that one for me. After a little looking, she shows me the lists and I point to the one I had. She pulls up the sale listing and reads it over "Its over TEN THOUSAND for it!" she yelps out in surprise "Sheesh! you would want the most expensive one!" "It was the best car movie out at the time and he was the best actor for it!" I boast. "We can get a reprint done for a few hundred?" she asks me. "Okay! I like that!" "Any others?" she asks. I shake my head to her "Like I said, I have no idea?" "Humm" she sounds out to me "I know you don't want a 'hang in there' kitten poster!" "A what kitten?" "This" she shows me. Then I look at the screen and what I see is so sickeningly cute!... "BARF! Never in my room! Not even on a bet!" I exclaim to her and fake tossing my cookies! "How about another movie poster....one from today?" "NO! to many bad memories in those" is all I say to her. "Well okay? But one day you're going to have to tell me, why that makes you so mad?" she closes the screen, after she finishes ordering that one 'bullet' poster for me and sets it to be delivered to my room. "The Next item we should get?" I say to her "Is that pillow for Violet!" I wonder off to the bedding section in search of that item for her, as we go I grab a few snacks for the room. Then Roz drops a few little items in my basket to make the room look better, Some little wooden art pieces, that look like board game tokens. Then she adds some cotton covered throw pillows to the basket, as we get to that section for Violet. She must have been looking for this stuff, as Gwen and I searched for posters. I stroll down the aisle, with Violet perched on my shoulder and turn to encourage her "Well pick one you like...any one? No matter the cost....it is yours!" Violet flies off my shoulder to hop amongst the long shelves of pillows, looking for the one she wants. I watch on, as she tosses one after the other from the piles. To see what's under them and then places a few in a stack to compare later. She finally gets down to just a few and stands there looking them over on the shelf. As she does, John the boy who helped me find that futon walks up to us, as all that tossing seems to have got his attention! "Man Rohanna, that Pixie of yours, she sure is making a mess of that display. But no problem, its cool with me. I will have Peeper clean that up, when he gets in here next hour!" he laughs out. We all watch on as, she goes and sits, then lays on each one in turn. Gwen gushes out "She looks so cute doing that....maybe I will get a few pillows for mine...just for show?" Violet, tosses two of the five pillows.... She had it narrowed down to off the shelf and John catches both of them on the 'fly'. He then places them on a lower shelf for later. Next thing Violet does? Is she lays down on one and folds her wings in, to lay better on her back. I joke to the group, as she does "Now there is the one reason why....I don't want wings! I can't lay down!" John starts to lean in to see her better, as he does I warn him "I would not do that! Pixies can get nasty!" AND as I say that, Violet sees that John's face is far too close, pulls out a spear and pokes his nose with it. He reels back in pain, with a small spot of blood showing 'just' on the tip of his nose. All three of us, laugh at him "See I told ya!...Small but deadly!" John howls at me "Man that hurt and that spear's tip is so small and sharp! I could not see the tip of it, till it hit me!" "Yep! The Pixies are real good with them and they know how to hurt a human bad with them!" Violet yells up and me from the shelf "I want this one!" she then squeals in joy, as she bounces up and down on it! As she gets off the pillow, I grab it from the shelf and look it over. It has a real nice, purple silk cover, stuffed with feathers. Then add, its real long and still fits on the shelf in my room. I can see why she choose it. I gaze at her, as she flies back up to me "I bet you bought this one? So your sister can come and visit?" She nods to me "Yep!" "Okay...but you two! No more fighting and waking me up!" That pillow is dropped into the basket, then Gwen, Roz and I walk out to the checkout to leave. After its all bought and paid for, we walk back to Poe...slowly, as I want some time with no one around. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- We both walk into to Poe and go straight to my room. I drop off the pillows on to my bed to see what that looks like and place Violet's new one on her shelf. She jumps on it with glee and starts bouncing on it. "There ya go a new home!" I boast to her. Gwen goes to sit on my rooms other bed and asks me "SO what's next?" And Roz sits on my bed to add in "Hey we can order pizza?" Before I can even answer, one of the other Poe kids looks into my open door "Hey Rohanna? I heard about yesterday...if you....want to chat?" "Thanks Evvie, But I have Gwen and Roz here, to keep me at some kind of near sanity?" I try to laugh. After she goes, I get up and walk the room a bit...aka I am pacing it again. Gwen sees that I am agitated "Hey, we can go and do something else? Its better than staying here?" she asks me. "I have an idea! Lets go to town and catch a show?" Roz adds in her 'lets have fun' voice "That might be an idea...But go ask Horton? As I might be on lock down and not even know it?" "ON IT!" she yelps out and jumps off he bed to run off to see. As I pace more, that dagger shows up in my hand again and begins its ever present twirling. As the dagger travels its path around my thumb on its point to fall into my palm again, Gwen has an idea form in her head, one that I can help with and helps her too! "Ro?" As she whispers that, it gets me to look at her "How about you showing me some fighting stuff while we wait?" "Humm? any ideas on what you what to start with?" "I have no idea?" "Well give me something...anything? As I think, you should know almost all I do?" I laugh at her. "How about throwing one of those better?" "This?" I ask "YEP!" "You have that down good already? So why mess with that?" "I do!?" she questions me, with some pride showing "Yes...Remember I saw that...yesterday. You hit what you aimed at and hurt it. That's all you really need. I may teach you some ways, to toss them faster or more? But you're real good!" I praise her. "Okay! Thanks! How about some close-up stuff?" "We can do that? You do understand...most of what I know and do...is fatal?" "Yep...and if I am that close or they are...all bets are off anyway?" "Okay, so do you want to do this with your blade or mine?" "let me try...mine?" "Get it out?" She goes to a sheath on her back, pulls it out and hands it to me. I take it and start to spin it about via its looped metal end tang. She watches me, as I spin it like crazy from one hand to the other and all over. "I do love your blade...its so well balanced! Who ever made this...knew what they were doing!" I say as it spins about...then I get a feeling as I do...who or what made it.......and it spooks me! BAD! I stop and hand it back to her "Maybe you should take this time out, to learn a blade shaped like mine...as its more common?" "Makes sense to me!" she says. "You can use my old practice knife....as its dull. Then me..." I grab a ruler off my desk "I'll use this!" Gwen takes the old dagger from my hand, twirls it and cuts herself "DULL you say! Girl that stung!" she glares at me, while sucking on the cut finger "DAMN thing is sharp as a razor!" I laugh at her pain and her glare hardens at me "Want to use the ruler and I use the blade then" I playfully ask her. "No! darn it! But show me...what's the first move?" "THIS!" I yelp and step forward under her blade and stoop down a bit. My left arm rises, blocks her blade and my hand grabs her neck at is base. Then my right is busy slicing up across her left thigh from her crotch, then up the side to her armpit. Next finally, I slice under her chin and neck. AND to finish, a jab into where her heart is at, then give her a small shove back. "YOU'RE DEAD!" I exclaim, to her with a giggle. I turn to the sound of Rosalyn at my doorway....sighing a bit "Sweet Jesus! That was fast! I would have missed it, if I blinked. No wonder....those guys..." and she stops,.... thinking....not to finish. "Yes...'did not have a chance'....Is what you were going to say?" She nods to me...."Sorry I" "Roz....never say you're sorry to me, for what I do...its what I am? I have all that 'IN' me and its not leaving anytime soon. Now you see why, I worry a bit when....you're in my bed and I am asleep. I can kill even faster than that...if I had too?" as I stop talking, my head looks down and I start thinking... Gwen starts "How about we do...." "This later?" I say, as I turn to her "NO you need this! You're good with your blade tossing and then add the glamour laden pixies of yours. And you move fast and well...but up close? All I can see you do, is punch? That will not stop a human man, that is SIX FOUR and Three hundred...he will shake it off...then hurt you!" "But?" Gwen adds. "No buts? Please.... and Rosalyn? You might as well come over here and learn this too? It might help someday...Besides, I need a human stabbing dummy for Gwen" I smile at her. Roz walks into the room and I grab another ruler from my desk drawer for her. I hand it to her with a flourish "Your blade My Lady!" and she bows to me, as she is being cute. I then show Gwen, very slowly what I did on her and repeat it a few times. Gwen and her step up together, do the motions 'slowly' and repeat it a few times. I step in, when I see Gwen is off...really off. "Like this" I demo then step back. She does the move and I see why she is off. She does not understand where and why the cuts are on the body. So I step in and ask for Gwen's extended first finger...to use in place of the blade. She does the move and I stop her. Then I place the finger on Roz's neck where Gwen can easily feel the beating heart, via the vein there. "Feel that?" "Yip!" "That is the target of all these moves. You are cutting at least one with each slice! The leg, the side, the armpit and the neck. They each have one and if you hit it? That person...a human will bleed out in a minute or so?" "DEAD?" she squeaks out. "Yesss" I sigh "Dead. If you're doing this ....then the time for being nice has past?" "Is this the same on an...elf?" "No, we are built differently. That's why you run faster and jump higher than Roz. Then me?..I am even more different?" I grab her hand and yelp "Again!" and start the first move for her. I stop her at each place she needs to slice, she feels the beating vein beneath it and now she sees the idea! Then I run her though it a few times. As I am helping Gwen clean-up her moves and showing Roz the same. Doogie knocks on my door frame "Hey doc Tenent asked for me to look in on ya?" "Hey Doogie! I am fine. Just so ya know and I am sure she does by now?. The Grove healed me up. If you want to check...come on in and shut the door?" Doogie takes my suggestion, comes in my room and closes the door behind him. Then he drops that huge bag of medical goodies, that he carries all the time on the floor next to it. As he comes over to me, he notes my training Gwen and Roz with daggers and the placing of the cuts "Hey I did notice what you're showing them and Rohanna is right. You cut someone up like that and they are dead. Not a great thing ....but you have to do, what you have too...I guess?" "Well it works and I hope that they both never have to do it...as its a burden to do so? But Doogie? just have a look at my face and back. Then you can tell the doc I am fine, so that I don't have to go to that place...I kinda hate it?" Doogie laughs at me "Yep I bet you do! As the only time you see it, is when you get hurt!" "Its not really that? I don't like that...it takes so long to get fixed up! I have my ways and they are better!" As he looks over my face and where a wound should be "Ahh ya you do have your ways...by the looks of this. Now open that mouth and lets see?" I smile at him and let him look. As it looks like he is done, I give him a playful bite at him! "Well?" I ask smiling and showing fangs. "Well one.....it looks like your teeth, the one's that got knocked out.....are almost back. Then you're too funny!" he laughs at me. "Thanks?" I sass. "Now that backside...please?" I lift up my shirt a little, to show him where that wound was. As he looks at that he asks "Hey do you have any copies of that ARC exam they did on you?" "Why?" "I want to see it and the doc says...I can't. Why?....Because of the medical privacy stuff?" "I can get doc Otto to give you a copy...if you swear it never leaves your care?" "Ohh that would be cool! You do know that costs money to have one of those reports?" "It's mine...So I have say who gets to see it? Then add in, maybe someday you might need to patch up a Drow, that is not me!" I laugh. "So I just have to get in touch with Otto up there and tell him you said okay?" "Yep...should be that simple. He will probably call me to check and get yelled at by me, for doing it! Then he will set you up somehow?" "Cool...But I have to get going!..cya!" As he grabs his bag and opens the door to go, as he leaves....yet another kid leans into the open door. And this time it's Hipp "Hey....ahhh Sara asked me to check in on ya?" "Heya Hipp. I am just fine...I have Gwen and Roz here and they are keeping me sane? For now anyway?" Doogie waves to me, as he goes off and then Hipp steps into the room with us all "But if you want to talk?" she asks me. "Hipp? Please...tell everyone ..thanks. But then tell them to stop asking? As it's getting to piss me off! I am not a stack of dishes! I am used to this...what I can't deal with is...this human crap, that tells me what I did was bad!" "I can do that for ya?" "You know what? I am going off somewhere else...where everyone does not know where I am at!" "Sil'iluuth udos ph'Lagvarguth" (Violet, we are leaving) Violet can tell I am mad, so....she flies to me very quickly and I port! "SHIT!....Darn it now, who knows where she went!" Gwen yells out. "I goofed. I should have known everyone was bugging her?" Hipp adds, as she stares down at the floor in a little shame. "Not your fault...she needs time AND everyone needs to lay off!" Roz jumps in. more than mad herself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Sunday February 18 4:25 pm Whateley Academy - Hawthorn cottage just outside Puppet's room I port into the hallway, as I do, I note that no one is around. I move to Puppet's door and softly knock on it. After I do, I can hear her on the other ask "Who is it?" in a voice, that tells me she is not expecting anyone? "It's me Rohanna. Can I come in?" "SURE! come in!" she cries happily out to me. I slide into her room as quietly as I can and go to sit in her chair. As I do, she studies me and then giggles out "I know why you're here! You're hiding out!" "Am I that obvious?" "Yep! But I am not even going to ask what happened...Just sit and relax!" "Thanks I need the quiet." As I sit and meditate a little. Violet flies over to her "Hi! I am Violet. I help Rohanna. She needs some quiet time....and who are you?" she asks "Me little one? I am Melissa or Puppet." "Nice....What are you reading?" she asks, as she sits on the bed next to her. "A book on genetics....But Rohanna?" she looks up to ask me. "Yes?" I ask after my eyes open, from my thinking. "I have heard that Jobe, may offer that Drow serum to others?" I huff out "To make even more genetic...goofs like him!" "Ya...but my question is....Did you think it was ..safe?" she asks me with her hesitation showing. Now she has my attention and I slide up in the seat "You're not thinking of letting him do that to you?" "Yes I am. I want out of this room!" she shouts at me. Then pounds the bed a little in her frustration. "I can see that...I can not even understand what its like...I get edgy in a few hours of being cooped up! But is this safe? As I have heard its not a guarantee. You can die if he goofs?" "Yes...what you heard is correct. It's not perfect? But I need this....I want to get better? What do you think?" I sigh "Well here is my opinion and let me finish, before you ask. If I were you? I would wait till...there is no other option and he has done it 'successfully!' to others. Then add, make sure that, he has no conditions to hold over you. Next, ask others who know the subject...and can give you a opinion that makes sense? If it will work on you?" "Humm" she sounds out to me "I will do that....what you just said to me....is....what others have said in their own way?" I then stare at her, so she knows I mean it "Melissa? If you do this...today or tomorrow or in ten years? I will help you......be the best Drow you can be!" ....after I say that, my thoughts go to 'and if Jobe goofs and kills you? I will tear Jobe apart!' "Thanks...I hope I would not change that much?" "Who knows? Jobe is playing with forces that can get out of control fast....if he adds magic into that mix?......" I just sit there, staring at the floor...for some time. "What?....you get what?" she pleads with me. "Things....like me? Monsters....." I sigh. 'after Saturday....I was right...I am a monster' is the drifting thought in my head. "STOP THAT!" She yells so hard, it shocks me "YOU'RE NOT A MONSTER! Sheeesh, you did what you had to yesterday...You protected your friends. They are lucky you're a friend and you were there. I am lucky to have a friend, a good one, as good as you!" I shake my head a little "You don't understand...I liked what I did... yesterday ...that killing. Its what I do....." "No.... its not all you do? You're here, here right now with me? AND you're not killing me? So, you are fine...just don't let that control you or run your life? Whatever that 'feeling' was?" As I sit and lean back to think....that Drow in my head comes up into my thoughts ~"she would make a fine Drow! This one...I like her, she is smart and has fire in her!"~ ~"shush you...we are not recruiting!"~ I say back...then I feel humor? From that Drow part of me. "But Rohanna?" Melissa interrupts my thoughts and I look at her "you know anything about genetics?" "No not really? I...in my strange way? I understand how some of it is affected by magic?" "Humm any other....high school or college subjects you good at?" "Me? No. I am smart...but, I never really did anything...school wise real good. All I am real good with...is working with my hands...making stuff?" "So what are you majoring in here?" I laugh out "I guess magic or martial arts?" "Okay...but try some other stuff out....you never know?" "Okay.." I sigh out "but Melissa? I am going to go see Sara now and see what she has found out about yesterday?" "Cool cya...and try to have fun?" "Thanks I will be back!" -------------------------------------------------------- Once out of Puppets room, I port back to mine. After I get into room I glance over to Violet sitting on my shoulder "You're going to have to hang out here? Or go back to the Grove, as you can't go into Sara's room." "I want to go where you go!" she exclaims to me "It is not the place for your kind, it may hurt you? Sara's room has too many wards on it and I don't know if Sara will appreciate you in there?" "But I should be with you? You got hurt the last time, I was not with you?" "We will work it out someday? That you will be able to go into there? But not right now." "Okay I'll wait for you here?" she says less than happy. "I will leave the door opened, incase you need to fly in and out and you be good no pulling tricks on anybody!" she giggles a little bit at me "I mean it." ----------------------------------------------------------------- I fly down the stairs to the basement and find a bare wall staring at me where Sara's door 'should' be? Then once again, as I get closer to that 'spot' the door 'pops' into being. Just as my hand knocks on it, I hear and feel her say "Come in" But this time her voice is edgy and sounds like she is mad and worried? After I walk in and close the door, I say softly "We need to talk?" "Obviously we need to talk a little bit, yesterday was a complete disaster!" she sasses at me in a agitated tone. All I can think of 'is she mad at me? Why?' As I go to sit on her bed, I take note, that she is pacing the room and seems deep in thought. My sitting on that bed is not easy, as one of her books is already laying there and its growling at me. I sit and start pushing it away gingerly with my finger "Sara? would you mind picking this one up, it doesn't like me at all!" She walks over to me in a huff, picks it up, smacks a couple times and puts it on her bookshelf. "But Sara? Is there anyway to call Donna and get my stuff sent here? As I don't think we are going back to Boston anytime soon?" "I already called her on that, it should all be here sometime tomorrow. When its sent with an ARC courier?" "ARC courier?" I ask. "Yes I told her to stay put there, till we or I find out who did this!" "Humm good Idea?....Then...Maybe I can start porting up to New York or something, to finish up that shopping? I tried that today and it worked great!" Sara is still pacing the room very agitated, then turns to me obviously not hearing my last words "Tell me why didn't you teleport Donna out of there?" "The field was up and was keeping me from teleporting?" "But you could have ported Donna out?" "We were under attack and I thought it best to stay right there. Right behind the Shield. I had her covered up with two layers of shields in front of her, then my own body. I don't think she was going to get hurt anytime soon?" Sara, just stares at me and paces once more...thinking? I roll-up farther onto the bed 'god I love this bed!' I think. Its a nice huge four poster on a beautiful frame. I say to her jokingly "I have to get a bed like this in my room!" "Why? You don't sleep?" she questions me in a mean tone. "Well neither do you!...on this!" I giggle at her. All I get back from her is a stare, that kills that joy. Then she starts pacing again, she's nervous for some reason? After she looks away from me, I laugh a little "But we will plan a shopping trip for some other time? But anyway, the main reason why I could not port ...Donna? was...you know?" I grin at her. "What do you mean...you know?" she asks me more than confused. "You know?" I look at her again, she just shrugs and turns away from me. So I decide to 'play' with her "So? when are you and Donna expecting that kid of yours?" She just stops and stands there.....with her back toward me As I say that, Sara......she turns slowly to look at me, with a face of pure rage! Her eyes turn into black pools, deep dark pools of pure terror, that seem to suck into her head. They draw in all the light and life around them. I start to slide back on the bed, away from her. 'what did I say?' is in my mind A mass of black tentacles, with a fang filled mouth at each end. Erupts from under her dress and legs to cover the floor around her, by several feet in diameter. All surrounded by a light eating creeping darkness. A deep inhuman and unearthly voice growls from her now. One that frightens even me! "WHO TOLD YOU!" she ...now....IT...bellows at me. Then what really scares me! As I have seen this before in person and through the eyes of friends in the past, just before they died at the hands of a GOO. Sara's head splits open and out came a giant MAW! Filled with teeth! She then leapt on to the bed and covered me in her tentacles. Dozens of them went to grab my arms and legs. Then wrapped them up, till I could not move. She also used the bed frame for leverage, so that I could not roll off it or move off the bed at all. I can't even pull a weapon out to use it! Then, they all at the same time, started to burry themselves in my flesh, they bore right into me, eating right through my clothes! All this took only seconds! The tentacles buried in my flesh, start to suck out all my blood and look for my life force. MY SOUL! I feel her 'core'....her soul? Its looking for mine, to feed on! I toss all my magic essence at them to fool them, so I can buy time. My struggles get even harder now to work myself free. All during this time I plead to her. "SARA PLEASE! stop what did I dooo" I whine out "What did I say? PLEASE STOP! It hurts, you're killing me! PLEASE STOP? I don't understand?" I struggle even more. But I am losing blood fast! My essence is going faster, as I am tossing more and more of it at her and she is fooled now, but its only a matter of time! She will eat all of it and get to my life force itself and EAT ME! "SARA! STOP! What are you doing please don't do this?!" I plead, then beg and she is not listening to me. "Please calm down? What did I do? what did I say?" I try to think...'Teleport?....Can't. The room has good wards on it and they are not mine. They all 'lit-up' like Christmas time in here, when Sara jumped on me. It will take a minute....THAT....I don't have....to bust them down! Anyway, my teleport will not work, as she is so DUG into me....so....she will go with me! wherever I do go to?' I think more 'Weapons? can't get free! Spells? Nope can't....not while I use all I got, to keep her from my life force! I am doomed!' is my conclusion. "SARA PLEASE STOP I am dieing! " my failing voice whines again with no reply "WHY? tell me why? PLEASE?" I am in tears now 'I don't get it....why?'.... "YOU'RE KILLING ME MY LOVE? why, why, why?" I scream out. Now I hear banging on the door, someone is trying REAL hard to get in! Most of my essence is gone. Now I know why, my friends that fell in the fight, so long ago. Took so long to die, they did what I am doing. I always hated to see one go like this. To feel them slip away slowly..... via our shared physic link us Drow all had. I think 'At least no one had to feel me die and it hurt them too. A small comfort.' She has taken all my essence ITS GONE! My blood is almost half gone and my hearts are slowed. I AM LOSING! I am going to die! FOR SURE! She found my life force, my SOUL and she is tearing it from my body.... slowly... as I will not go QUIET! I feel my mind getting pulled down into something? I can just see over the edge of it! I can see hell now, in my mind. The one she must of picked out JUST FOR ME? All I can see from here is, its showing how useless my life was, as both a Elf and my Human time in the past. I was just a tool in war or a tool in making stuff for some stupid business. I never had control of my life as an Elf. In my Human time, the control that I thought I had was all FAKE! an illusion. I was just used up and broken. Then thrown aside Like I was nothing...that's all I have ever been. I AM SCARED more than I ever have been in my long memory! Over Forty thousand years, in facing death and this REALLY SCARES ME! "SARA STOP PLEASE!" After I yell that. I realize its not working and I am not going to hell like a wimp! "JUST KILL me then you bitch! End this crap now! I loved you, but why would not even you? Not stab me in the back, JUST LIKE everyone else in my life! If you feel this is what I deserve? Then DO IT! finish me now!" I feel the last of my blood going. Its getting hard to breath. I have to THINK to make my hearts even beat now. Most of my life force is gone. All that I have is hanging, I have just a toe hold! On life here left. "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU! even if you hate me now! SO kill me now!" I yell out. I let my shields fall and get this over with! Lets get this over with....in a minute or two I will just be blue dust, covering the bed...like all her prey. That last gasp of mine. Got through to her. She leaps off me, to across the room. She is Yelling out to me "I am sorry I did not mean it! My instincts took over" There is a look of pure horror on her face, as she looks at me. She starts to vomit up all my blood that she took from me, onto the floor and black tears flow down her face. Then she, starts to get up and come toward me. "I am sorry!....." she pleads at me. I don't really hear her. My brain has lost too much blood and I am losing consciousness. All I can really think about is 'She is off! get out!' Then I see her walking over to me. 'She is coming to finish the job! She wants this to last! To punish me!' I reach out to the Grove and call it. I ask for help. I need magic or something to pull me there. TO GET OUT OF HERE! I reach again and poof....I teleport. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ On the other side of the door, where that banging sound was coming from.... Violet is throwing herself at Sara's door! She knows that Rohanna, her new friend in life and her sworn charge. She is being killed or hurt badly just inside! The small Pixie, she hurls herself at the door over and over. Her spear comes out, as she tries to make a hole in the thick wood with it somehow! Violet jams the point of it into the wood, as deep as she can, to pry parts of the door away! In her growing desperation, she actually breaks her spear. Now in frustration, she uses the broken tip, her bare hands and the small claws she has....to tear at the door. Her wings beat the air fiercely, as she hovers at the door, then slams into it over and over trying to GET IN! The more she bangs, claws at the door and its thick wood. More of her blood is splashed on to it from her blows. Violet screams at the empty hallway in vain for help, if Sara's room had been in the regular floors, the other kids would have been here by now. But here in the basement? No one, can hear her cries for help. Then she feels Rohanna 'port' away...safe for now. Violet...scans the area for where she went. Then flies off in search of her and help! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- My body ports back into the world, FOUR feet off a carpeted floor is what I see. 'No Grove? What happened?' shoots through my mind... THEN, I land with a THUD on the floor. I see that I am in the Poe sunroom. I panic! I only moved about 200 feet! She is coming to kill me! I reach out to the Grove again, to say moaning from blood loss and pain "Grove help!" as I try to link again with it and go there. I see Fey step into my sight. She looks down at me flopping around on the carpet and yells out something I can't hear. Then her armor manifests on her and her sword is in her hand. She looks PISSED! Then I see Hank and Billie come to me. They look me over, as I flop around, half out of it. They say something and look really worried. 'No shit' I think in one clear thought 'I am dieing I am worried too!' Next after a few minutes I see "Doogie" and he is howling out something over me. He gets Fey to bend down to me. The things they say, mean nothing to my now fogged mind....I lost too much blood to think or hear anymore. That's when I pass out. ----------------------------------------------- After Violet flies off from Sara's door, she vanishes, wrapped in her invisibility. Once up stairs, she finds Rohanna on the floor of the human's 'sunroom' and the Queen is standing over her, guarding her as others treat her wounds. AND Violet kno
