If only I could say that understanding any of my characters at all is no mean feat, since I don't understand them sometimes either. :D

Talamar promptly leaves the physical world, becoming invisible to anyone who cannot see the realm of souls. He also levitates.
Svartr rolls his eyes.
Talamar lands and becomes visible again. "I had not realized it was possible for those who are not moroi to do so," he compliments. "Nor that there was a school for learning such things. Tell me, did you see me just then?"

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could lol!

"I thought you'd left forever!" Kacia cried.

Caius laughs profusely.

Machiko nodds slowly, "I did actually. But your image was...blurry."




message 103: by [deleted user] (new)

If only Svartr could have held back his snort at Kacia's words. But elves never say anything so ridiculous, and his contact with humans only increases his amusement at their antics, and his desire to know more about them.

Talamar looks pleased at Machiko's skill. "My compliments." He turns to Kacia and says "I would never leave without a farewell. Though there have been many that wish I would," he adds, grinning.
"And I hope you realize that statement is a complete fabrication," Svartr says after he has recovered. "You usually just do whatever strikes you at the time."

(gtg :/ ttyl)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could say I hope Svatr is enjoying his look at my humans.

Caius thinks that he would probably be one of the ones that wishes Talamar would leave.

Machiko blushes even more at Talamar's praise.

Kacia looks annoyed that Talamar seems to be ignoring her.

(bye! ttyl too)


message 105: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I could say Svartr is fascinated by all humans, though he knows only a few personally. They're so...clumsy and blunt, and capable of so much. To him, they are an embodiment of a multitude of contrasts.

Talamar thinks Caius is probably one of the ones that wishes he would leave.
He turns to Kacia "Do you practice the same kind of magic as Machiko, or do you specialize in a different area? Svartr here, for example, is adept at earth magic, particularly rock and metals."
"There's no need to include me in the conversation," Svartr says in a low voice so only Talamar can hear, though he knows Caius probably will as well. He's not sure about Machiko or Kacia. "I know how much you wish to talk to Kacia alone."
Talamar decides not to grace this jibe with a reaction.

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could have warned Talamar sooner.

Kacia grinns wickedly and sweetly at Talamar.
"Yeah I do but we can talk about that later." She fingers something in her back pocket that she discovered while Talamar and Svartr were gone.

"OH NO!" Caius yells seeing Kacia. He turns to Talamar. "RUN! RUN BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!"

"KACIA NO!" Machiko cries trying to grab hold of her friend.

Kacia slips past Machiko and hurries over to Talamar. Triumphantly she holds up a green plant with lovely white berries (http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/galleri...).
"Do you have this in your world Talamar?" she asks sweetly and triumphantly, holding it over her head.


message 107: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I could laugh harder!!!!!

Talamar blanches, takes a step back. "NO..."
Svartr has to lift a hand to his face to stifle his overpowering surge of laughter.
Talamar shoots him a glare laced with panic, and continues in a terrible imitation of his usual courtly assurance. "I am afraid I've...been deprived of - of the sight of such a...beautiful plant." He hesitates, looks around as if for inspiration. "Unfortunately...Svartr and I have pressing concerns in the mortal world. We were interrupted in our travel, and I don't know how fast time passes in this corridor."
Despite an urge not to, Svartr decides to help him out. "It is true," he says. "We were seeking to aid a friend of ours." His laughter fades as he recalls it.


message 108: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could not imagine their actual reactions! I can't stop laughing!

Kacia smiles unperterbed.
"Oh this will only take a minute." she says sweetly, "This is called mistletoe and if a girl and guy get caught under it they have to kiss."

Again Machiko tries to stop her but Caius holds her back. He wants to see how the vampire will deal with this.


message 109: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I had a camera. It's such a Kodak moment.

"Is that so?" Talamar says vaguely. He looks at Svartr again, but the elf has made it clear he is done interfering. His eyes flick back to Kacia, and he reddens, looking cornered.
"I'm promised to someone," he blurts out.
Absolutely unable to control it any longer, Svartr lets out a very uncourtly guffaw and subsides into laughter.
Turning even redder, and wishing that his ability to disappear would help him in this situation - but he wouldn't be able to stand losing so much face - Talamar continues awkwardly. "So you see, Kacia, I couldn't - couldn't...not possible to..." he trails off, trying to compose himself while he waits for her reaction and failing miserably.


message 110: by Eloradenin (last edited Dec 11, 2009 09:24PM) (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could feel really sorry for Kacia, (she's crying in my head right now but she won't show it outwardly)

Kacia's face falls.
"Oh." she says quietly lowering the mistletoe and backing away. Then she gets another gleam in her eyes.

She races over to Machiko and holds the mistletoe over her friends head. She winks at Caius.

Machiko is about to leap out from under it and protest, when Caius kisses her.

Kacia giggles.

Machiko's face turns red but she lets the kiss last for a minute before jumping back from Caius with a "Nya!" and her ears pop out again.

Caius stands red faced grinning broadly.


message 111: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I had joined this earlier!! (I'm Wlfgrl22's bff and she convinced me to join)

Two human figures appear off in the distance headed towards the group of misfits.

"Gabriel. I don't think we're in Paris anymore. I told you we were supposed to turn left back there. Are we even still on Earth??"

"I... think... so? Oh! April, look. There are some people over there. Maybe they can help us figure out where we are." Gabriel and April approach Machiko and Caius while they are still lip-locked.

"Excuse us, could you possibly tell us... oh sorry, are we interrupting something?"


message 112: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only you hadn't come in at this part!

Kacia notices the newcomers and races up to them holding the mistletoe over their heads.
'New Pray!' she thinks wickedly.

Machiko is still too shocked and embarressed to stop her.

Caius can't stop grinning.


message 113: by [deleted user] (new)

If only they hadn't been a couple, then that might have been a bit more interesting.

Gabriel is at first scared (though he'd never admit it) and shocked by the girl's energy, but sees this as a lovely opportunity to embarrass his girlfriend. He takes her hand and kisses it softly on the back like he did when he first met her last winter. Of course, April blushes the same way as she did back then. As if that was his cue, Gabriel smirks and leans in to kiss her ever so slightly on the lips.

April should have expected this by now, but she turned bright red at the small gesture. She would have prolonged the moment, but someone clearing their throat brought her back to... reality?


message 114: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I didn't have to go to bed so soon and wake up tomorrow for a concert, I might be able to see how things turned out. But I will (hopefully) be back tomorrow. However April and Gabriel will be stuck until they find out how to get out =3


message 115: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I could say welcome! Talamar wishes Gabriel and April could have come sooner.

Talamar feels both relieved and guilty. He can see souls, and he knows how hurt Kacia was. He sends a serious, questioning look at Svartr, who hesitates and then gives a tiny nod. He did not like the way he laughed so hard, thinking Kacia took it the wrong way.
While Gabriel and April are busy, he pulls Kacia away and murmurs "Do not mistake Talamar's feelings. Being the prince of the moroi means he is immortal, stuck in an existence he loathes. It also means forming attachments...is difficult. He does not have a future with anyone, and so does nothing to encourage any serious designs...You understand my meaning?" He pauses, and then adds. "I was merely amused by the idea of his friend the kitsune being promised to him. She wouldn't like him to say that," he finishes dryly.
Talamar is looking at Kacia, an apology and uncharacteristic hesitation in his ochre eyes. (Really. He doesn't usually act like this. But then, he's never met another person like Kacia in his vampiric life. He doesn't remember his previous life.)
Svartr turns to the newcomers. "You were trying to get to Earth? So was I, and my friend, Talamar. I am Svartr." He bows.


message 116: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could say hahaha a vampire promised to a kitsune!

Kacia's eyes go wide as she listens to Svartr's words. She turns to Talamar with a pained expression. She has not meant to hurt him.
"Talamar." she says quietly, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to..." she trails off looking at the ground trying to keep the tears out of her eyes.

Machiko finally snaps out of her daze. She wraps a comforting arm around her friend.

Caius loses his grin. Though he knows Kacia doesn't like him he still feels sorry for her.


message 117: by [deleted user] (new)

If only he actually was promised to her. The kitsune would be just as thrown as he was with Kacia if she knew he had said that. :D Probably more so.

To Talamar this is agonizing. The only thing worse than pitying someone else is being pitied. But he shows good grace.
Running a hand through his hair, he gives in and walks closer to Kacia, lifting her chin with one hand and kissing her lightly on the cheek. Then he steps back and grins, cockily. "Don't tell the kitsune," he says with a wink. "But I enjoyed that."


message 118: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could say awwwww...Kacia is giggling like an idiot in my head.

Kacia blushes profusely and turns from Talamar to hide her grin.

Machiko smiles at her friend.

Caius is annoyed. He can't believe that Kacia actually let the vampire kiss her. Even if it was just on the cheek.


message 119: by [deleted user] (new)

If only Talamar didn't see souls and auras - he can see just how happy and giggly Kacia is, and now he's getting cocky again, quickly covering his old hurt back up. He's never kissed a girl in undead memory, and he likes it a little too much for his personal standard of not getting involved.

"Svartr, you missed out," he says.
Svartr lifts an eyebrow.
"I'll bet I know who you want to kiss," Talamar says, smiling slyly.
Before Svartr can do more than redden ever so slightly, a new voice says "Who?"
Cristina walks into view, looking at Svartr curiously.
Svartr blinks, and then bows hastily in greeting, grateful for the time to compose his expression. "Cristina. I couldn't tell you who Talamar is talking about. I have absolutely no idea."
"Sure," Talamar mutters to him, grinning. "And what if I borrow Kacia's mistletoe?"
"You do and I--" he can't think of a punishment horrible enough for a moment. "I'll tell the kitsune what you said about being promised to her," he says triumphantly.
Talamar turns beet red.


message 120: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could laugh. What have I started?

Kacia hears Svartrs comment to Talamar.
"You're not promised to the kitsune?" she asks in surprise.

Machiko smiles at Christina.

Caius grinns wickedly at Talamar.
"Oh you did it now." he gufhas triumphantly, "Lied to a girl."

Kacia continues to stare at Talamar. Even though he kissed her she still feels hurt inside that he lied to her.


message 121: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I could laugh too. This is so much fun. Poor Talamar.

If only Talamar had known Kacia didn't know he had lied. He had thought it was obvious, and that Svartr's explanation had covered it. Now he's jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.
He closes his eyes for a moment. "I thought you knew," he says in an entirely different voice than his cocky one moments before. "I promised myself I wouldn't get involved with anyone. I'm immortal, and...Kacia, I-" Now it's his turn to look at the ground. "I prefer not to start anything that cannot last," he says finally.
Even though inside she's curious and sad for her friend, outwardly Cristina is studiously ignoring this conversation, knowing Talamar hates this kind of exposure. She smiles back at Machiko, mouthing I'm Cristina.




message 122: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could say I anticipated that. Kacia's got some surprises up her sleeves. Why do you think she doesn't like Caius and he doesn't like her.

Machiko mouths back,
Machiko she motions to Caius, Caius

Kacia grins.
"Who says you can't finish anything with me?" she asks grinning, "You can't tell what I am can you?"

She grins finally revealing her concealed fangs.




message 123: by [deleted user] (new)

IF ONLY I COULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING!! (Not really though - I love it when I get surprised!! That totally threw me!! I thought Caius didn't like her just because.)

Svartr has to bite his lip hard to keep from laughing at the expression on Talamar's face. Talamar recovers quickly, however.
"And what kind of vampire are you?" he asks, a little coolly.


message 124: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could laugh more! You remember I'm playing with Kacia's character and that idea just came to me when I was trying to figure out why Caius wouldn't like her. Plus I told my bff that I was trying to base Kacia's character off of her and she was reading with me at that part where Talamar talks about his kind of magic only being able to be gained through either having your blood or your souls blood taken. After she read that she screamed out "BITE ME!" and that is how the idea was formed. I'm sure she'll love Kacia being a vampire.



message 125: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only that wasn't so long now I have to put the real chat on here.

"I was bitten as a child by a pure blood vampire." Kacia said, "Which means that I will have the same qualities as them, apart from the ability to turn others into vampires. But I retain immortality and since I was bitten young I stopped aging when I was 16. That was 10 years ago." she finished, smiling.

Machiko stared at her friend in astonishment.

Caius growled. He had been trying to keep this secret from Machiko as long as possible.


message 126: by [deleted user] (new)

If only April and Gabriel had known what they were up against earlier (they're just normal, plain humans).

After recovering from her embarrassment, April looks up to see the new-comer. Once April's attention shifts from him, Gabriel starts listening to everyone. After a sincere smile to Cristina, April listens, too.

"And what kind of vampire are you?"

When Talamar asks this, April's eyes widen in fear and shouts before thinking, "I thought vampires only existed in books!! Who are you people? Or WHAT are you?"


message 127: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only you're characters weren't so normal Lex!

Caius grins at the two humans.
He points to Kacia and Talamar, "vampires"
next he points at Svartr and Christina, "elf...not sure about her"
Finally he grabs hold of Machiko, "cat girl"
Lastly he points smuggly at himself, "Werewolf!"

Machiko squirms in his grip.

Kacia laughs at April's reaction.


message 128: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I could say that's just awesome. :D

"I'm human," Cristina supplies proudly. "But I can see the soul realm, because...Talamar fed off of me when he was injured." She's lived in the immortal realm, never Earth, so the concept of being weirded out by supernatural beings is strange to her.

Talamar is too angry to register April and Gabriel. "My apologies. I didn't realize I was kissing a leech." It's not a very well-formed insult, but he's too shocked to come up with a good one, and it's hurtful anyway.
"Talamar." Svartr places a hand on Talamar's shoulder, but Talamar turns transparent, and invisible to those who can't see. Svartr's hand slips through and before he can adjust to grip Talamar's soul Talamar has turned and streaked out of arm's reach, so fast not even the elf could grip him.
He reappears, bows with chilled civility and says "I think I have worn out my welcome. If you will excuse me. I hope you manage to find your way back." Then he continues off in a random direction.
Cristina looks at Svartr. "I'm beginning to believe you when you say he used to be human."
Svartr only nods. He looks at Kacia, trying to gauge her reaction.


message 129: by [deleted user] (new)

If only April wasn't so sensitive to other's emotions.

April is completely stunned by Caius's introductions. She cannot even speak.

Gabriel on the other hand just nods in understanding. Being a fan of fantasy/sci-fi all his life, he is all too thrilled to actually meet characters he's only ever dreamed existed. However, he keeps his cool so April doesn't think he is a freak.

After deciding that everything she ever thought to be fake was true, April is not nearly as shocked by Talamar's mysterious disappearance as she should have been. She is only confused at how Talamar could be so cruel towards another of what she thought was his own kind. She turns to face Kacia with a look of empathy on her face. Even though Kacia is not human, April still feels sorry for her.


message 130: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I understood why Talamar got so upset!

Kacia stares after Talamar in dibelief.
"What did I say" she whispers, finally letting the tears pour out, "I thought that would make him feel better. That he's not alone."

Machiko turns to Kacia.
"You're a vampire?" she whispers.

Caius is ignoring the two girls. He can sense Gabriel's excitement so he decides to introduce myself.
"Hi I'm Caius" he says, holding out his hand to the boy.


message 131: by [deleted user] (new)

If only there wasn't something abnormal about Gabriel. Perhaps he is not quite as human as he lets on.

Gabriel takes Caius's hand in a firm handshake. "I am Gabriel," he says confidently, though he is screaming like a fan girl inside his head. "I've always been fascinated by creatures like yourself. What's it like being a werewolf in love with it's master?" He asks as a smirk begins to tug at the corners of his mouth as he questioned the information that he was never given. For even though Gabriel is in awe by these people, he has a bit of a rude side to him as well.

"Gabriel! That's so mean! How could you say something as stupid as that! He has free will and can do whatever he wants and he doesn't have a master," shouts April.

"Whatever you say, babe." Gabriel shrugs and turns toward April with a sweet smile, but not before one last smirk at Caius.


message 132: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only you hadn't done that! Now you're gonna get it Lex!

Machiko squeaks in surprise.
"In love with his..." she begins.
"You stupid boy!" Caius growls trying to control his temper. If he becomes a wolf right now he could hurt both Gabriel and April and that wouldn't be good. He would hate himself for it afterward. He took a deep breath.
"You are very intune my dear Gabriel. For I am certain none of us told you she was my master." he completely passes over Gabriels other remark. He wishes he could get him back but he can tell that Gabriel and April are dating.

Kacia, now that Talamar is gone, decides she has had enough of being looked over. She comes over and slaps both Caius and Gabriel.
"That's for believing that my best friend could ever love a werewolf!" she screamed at Gabriel, "And that's for actually falling in love with her!" she screamed louder at Caius. Then she breaks down in tears on the ground, sobbing, "He's gone. He's gone. And he won't come back. Oh what have I done!"


message 133: by [deleted user] (new)

If only

Gabriel rubbed his cheek tenderly. Kacia's slap hurt more than one April could have done. "My appologies ma'am," Gabriel says to Kacia as he lends a hand. "I never meant to insult you. And I'm sure Talamar is not gone for good." For though Gabriel has a bad boy side, he is truely a gentleman.

April on the other hand is bitter towards Kacia for hurting her man. And although she pities Kacia for losing what seems to be her love, she will hold her grudge for her man.


message 134: by [deleted user] (new)

If only my poor characters weren't SO overwhelmed! They are like a page behind now. lol!

Damius looks around warily and says, "It seems that this place is getting more crowded. Welcome to the newcomers, and try not to get out of hand!"

Erever steps forth and looks everyone in the eye. "Welcome...Thank you for joining us. I hope that everyone can remain happy."


message 135: by [deleted user] (new)

If only Cristina hadn't reached her limit.

"That jerk!" she explodes. Exploding is easier than crying in sympathy. "C'mon Kacia. Let's go--"
"I wouldn't advise it," Svartr interposes. He also seems a bit miffed by all the surrounding drama. Elves don't really do drama - at least not like this. "Talamar needs to calm down."
"You know him," Cristina says, rounding on Svartr. "Better than I do. What got into him?"
Svartr regards Kacia with a somber expression, addressing his words to her. "Prince Talamar is a moroi - he feeds on the blood of the soul, not the body. In the world where we come from those who feed off of blood are the enemies of the moroi." He paused. "And that is what he now seems to view you as. Not that is is fair in any way - to you or to him. But I believe you also offended him by not announcing yourself sooner. He is, after all, a prince," a note of disgust creeps into his voice. Svartr hasn't had luck dealing with any prince as of late. "And he isn't used to, shall we say, dealing with emotions in general. After exposing himself like that, such news was not welcome."
Cristina has been listening with increasing impatience. She's mad - she doesn't want to see both sides of the argument. "Good for him. Let's go, Kacia."
"It would not be wise," Svartr insists quietly.
"What's he going to do? Bow us to death?" Cristina is excellent at glaring, and she uses her talent well.


message 136: by Eloradenin (last edited Dec 13, 2009 01:55PM) (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could say NOW I understand.
Kacia stares at Svartr with understanding and she dries her eyes.
"Cristina" she chokes, "Go find Talamar I need to talk to him but I can't go with you to do it. It has to be in front of everyone."

Machiko stares at her friend woth concern,
"Kacia..." she begins.

"It's ok Machiko." Kacia says quietly, "I just need to explain myself, but Talamar need to be here too"

Caius growls interrupting her,
"No Kacia you need to tell everyone now. Tell the rest of them why Talamar's beliefs do not describe you."

Kacia sighs,
"All right." she takes a deep breath, "In my world there are these things called blood tablets. They are a synthetic blood substitute. Not all vampires choose to use them. But most of us that used to be humans do. I have never bitten a single human in my 15 years as a vampire. And I never plan to. Though the blood tablets don't ever quench the thirst, I will not let myself become a monster."
Kacia finishes staring at her friend for a reaction.

Machiko stares at Kacia in astonishment.
"You're not a normal vampire?"

"No but I am." a gruff voice calls.

Machiko whirls and Caius growls Kacia starts shaking.
"No!" she moans, "Not you!"

"That's right my little creation. I've come back for you." the boy standing before them says icily. He licks his lips and his fangs show perfectly white.

"Cristina!" Caius shouts at the girl who hasn't left yet, "Go get Talamar now! This is an emergency!"

The vampire before them is draws closer. Caius pushes Machiko behind him and his body starts trembling.
"Gaston" he growls, "How dare you show your face here!"

Gaston snears and in fluid motion he has slipped past Caius and Machiko and grabs Kacia. He stands behind her one hand on her waist the other caressing her face. He licks her neck teasingly. "I'm going to finish you off Kacia since you haven't been a good little creation."

"No!" Caius screams, "He'll kill her! A human changed vampire is immortal to everyone but their creator. Gaston is Kacia's. He'll drain her of all her blood and she'll die! I've seen it before!"

"You remember well werewolf." Gaston hisses icily, "Now lets continue shall we." He bites into Kacias neck and begins draining her blood.

Kacia screams.

((Wow that was long! But I needed to get it all down!))


message 137: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I could say 'eek'! :D

Cristina runs in the wrong direction, disappears for a little while around a corner and comes thundering back, mounted on a black pegasus.
"Sadalbari," Svartr says in recognition. The winged horse answers his question of how Cristina got here. "aus fren de ny" he tells the stallion in elvish. "Tenar plakya"
With a whinny Sadalbari leaps into the air, his great wings creating a gust of wind.
Svartr has already drawn back his bow and fired an arrow aimed perfectly for Gaston's heart. He realizes it will probably fail to kill him, but it will certainly buy some time. He has eleven more arrows left and he never misses.
"Caius," he says quickly. "What is fatal to this kind of vampire?"


message 138: by Eloradenin (new)

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could say, I know! I was planning on bringing Gaston into this eventually but not quite like this! ;)

Kacia has stopped screaming for Gaston's freezing ability has started to take hold of her.

The arrow hits Gaston in the chest and he ripps his fangs from Kacia's neck sending blood everywhere.
"You stupid idiot!" He laughs cruely at Svartr, did you honestly think that would do anything?! Shoot me again and I'll put her in front of me. We may not be able to be killed by normal means but it still hurts, especially to transformed vampires." he glares at the elf pulling the arrow out of his chest and throwing it to the ground.

Machiko faints dead away.

Caius shouts to Svartr.
"Only another pureblood vampire can kill him! But there is a way to weaken him. Do you know of a plant called wolfsbane? Crush some of it up with deadly nightshade and tip your arrows with them! I'll get Kacia away from him so you can have a clear shot!"

With that Caius transforms into a huge wolf and lunges at Gaston. He tackles the vampire to the ground and the two begin biting and wrestling with each other.

Kacia free of Gastons grasp collapses to the ground and begins convulsing. Blood pours from the wounds in her neck. Her body starts turning an icy blue.




message 139: by [deleted user] (new)

If only I could laugh. Looking back at how we started and where things are now is very funny.

Svartr picks up Machiko and Kacia and slings them over his shoulders, retreating to a safe distance and resting them gently on the ground, covering Kacia with his cloak. As he does so, he sends his magic into the earth, searching for the plants Caius mentioned.
There. He senses them a while away, where it would take even him too much precious time to retrieve them. But it's not like he has a choice.
Glancing back at the mass of fur and fangs that are Gaston and Caius, he starts to sprint toward the plants.

Cristina wished desperately her eyesight was more like Svartr's or Talamar's. She had to fly lower to the ground than she would have liked, and it took time for Sadalbari to dodge obstacles.
"Talamar!" she called over and over again. "Talamar you idiot, we need you! Another vampire showed up and he's attacking Kacia!"
She screamed as she felt Talamar leap onto the horse behind her. Talamar hissed with impatience, guiding Sadalbari back toward the others with his knees. "Fill me in," he demanded.

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could say I know! Poor Emily she keeps coming in when chaos is reigning and she has to catch up on so much!

Caius bites ferociously into Gaston flinging him twenty feet away.

Gaston hits the ground with a crunch. He staggers to get up and races at the werewolf eyes blazing. He leaps onto Caius's back digging his clawed fingers into the werewolfs fur and pierces his tender skin. He sinks his teeth into Caius's neck.

Caius howls and tries to shake Gaston off of him. It's not a full moon so he is finding it difficult to keep his wolf form. Plus Gaston's freezing ability is transferring through his bite and beginning to invade Caius's bloodstream. He finally manages to shake Gaston off but the effort proves almost too much. He sways on his feet and nearly collapses.

Svartr, Cristina, please hurry!

Kacia grows even colder, the ice is nearing her heart.

Machiko stirrs,
"Caius...no..." she moans.

If only say that is definitely true. Emily has bad timing. :D Or good timing, depending.

An arrow slices cleanly through the air and hits Gaston in the heart. Svartr sprints into view and draws his sword, placing himself between Gaston and the others.

Talamar doesn't wait for Sadalbari to land. He levitates down to the ground and streaks toward the group of people. A glance tells him Kacia is in more need than the others. He kneels down next to her and feels how cold she is.
"Kacia!" he says, low and urgent. "How do I heal you?"
"Caius was bitten as well," Svartr calls back to him. "Cristina, stay in the air!"
Cristina ignores him, landing the pegasus and running over to Caius, trying to drag him over to the others.

Gaston screams in utter pain and falls to the ground paralyzed. His eyes are filled with hatred as he sees Svartr holding the bow.
"How...dare...you..." he manages to hiss before his eyes close.

Caius loses control of his wolf form do to the pain and and transforms back into a boy.
"I'll be all right, werewolves are immune to vampire bites in general I'll just pass out for a while, but Kacia..." he gasped in pain, "She can't hear you anymore probably. But you have to stop the ice from reaching her heart. Heat, that's the only thing that can stop it. You need lots of heat. Wake Machiko. She has learned about the properties of magical fire and heat. But..." he groaned in pain and felt himself slipping into darkness, "It may already be too late."

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I couldn't hear my characters minds! They're all unconcious but their minds are screaming! Kacia is sceaming at Gaston and Talamar a little. Caius is sceaming at me for allowing Machiko to pass out. Machiko is screaming at me for letting Gaston hurt Kacia. And Gaston is screaming at me and everyone else. He is one pissed off vampire! So someone please respond so that they'll stop screaming!

If only my characters could do something!! Or can they? O.o

Gabriel and April were in shock and fled to a safe distance during these horrible turn of events. But now that Gabriel has regained some of his composure, he turns to April and grasps her shoulders. "You stay here no matter what, do you understand? Until I come back for you or anyone comes after you, you stay put."

"But..." April calls after Gabriel as he's running towards the fight.

"Just trust me," he calls back.

He sprints over to Kacia and slides onto his knees beside her. 'I hope I'm not too late,' he prays to himself. He places his hands over her heart as if her were performing CPR. Suddenly, his hands start glowing brightly and the blue color starts receeding slowly from her body.

If only I could say Gabriel is awesome....oh wait, I just did.

Talamar watches intently until he is sure Kacia will be fine, and then stands, drawing his rapier.
Svartr, who has been assisting Cristina in carrying Caius over to Machiko, sees this and straightens. "Talamar, it is not your duty," he says.
Talamar continues walking toward Gaston, slowly, as if he were telling himself the same thing.
Cristina looks up. "Talamar!"
"You said only a pure vampire could kill him," Talamar says. "I don't know if I qualify as one, but I figure I could try."
"He deserves to die," Svartr said quietly, "but does anything deserve to die like this? Killed while unconscious?"
"Elven philosophy," Talamar hisses.

Eloradenin (animalsaremyeverything) | 392 comments If only I could say OH MY GOSH! Go Talamar!

Kacia stirs, groaning on the ground. She can feel warmth sreading through her but there is still that feeling of chill in her body. She shivers.
Am I dead. She wonders. Is this what it feels like to be dead. Her throat burns, But if I'm dead than why do I have such thirst?,/i>

Machiko blinks her eyes open and looks around in confusion.
"Caius, Kacia" she croaks struggling to sit up and failing miserably.

Caius twitches and moans in his sleep.

If only I could say I don't know if I can kill one of your characters!

Cristina moves over to Machiko, helping her sit up. "They'll be fine," she says. "They just need rest."
Talamar turns at the sound of Kacia's movements. "Let's let the creation decide, shall we?" he says sarcastically to Svartr. "Fair enough?"
Svartr only looks at him. Talamar, still keeping an eye on Gaston in case he wakes up, turns back to Kacia and kneels next to her.
"Kacia," he says quietly. "Wake up."
