Mythical Creatures of Sada

"A sword is easily replaced," James said still holding Georgia.

"What happened?" Lethero said.

"She got shot teleporting you out, she'll be fine though, she always is."

"Besides this be no ordinary sword," Lethero sadi trying to control his voice, "this be the sword of the pack leader, it be given to my brother and from him, me. This sword means everything to me."

"I'll see what I can do," James said.

James carefully set Georgia down and teleported back. There was nobody in the area this time, and Lethero's sword was in the open. Carefully he went over and picked it up, nothing. He teleported back and turned into a human again.

"There you go," he said giving him back his sword. Georgia was awake and holding her shoulder tight.

"I really hate guns."

"Told you you shouldn't have come," Lethero scolded.

"You have yet to drag my corpse away don't you? and besides we might all be dead if I hadn't tagged along."

"Because she found me, right georgia?"

"Right-o"

Syden attacked from his other side also barely missing getting hurt. Nicarga ran towards him teeth bared when he kicked her with his big boot sending her flying. Syden quickly jumped in front of her to keep from getting hurt. Nicarga changed into her humen form and pulled out her sword. Syden did the same, as the two faced the vampire Nicarga heard something behind her. She spun around and saw a bunch of men swords drawn.

"Syden, we've got a big problem here." She said backing up to where their backs almost touched.

"Tell me something i don't already know."

"You're in my home dear." He said smiling.

"Any who are you?" Her voice was quivering.

"A Friend. But you can call me Sam." Sam, what a nice name. She thought.

"Thank you for taking me in when I was hurt, Sam."

"Don't mention it. You hungry? I have some stew." He said gesturing towards the pot. She realized she was famished.

"I'd love some." He handed her a bowl and it was so good. And still warm!

"You make an excellent stew Sam."

He laughed. "That's not what some of the boys would say." She laughed as well.

She realized her top was shredded and her hair was a bloody mess. She turned away from him and cried.

"What is wrong love?" He touched her shoulder but she moved away.

"I look horrible. I'm ugly. Don't look at me!" SHe said through tears.

"Course not. You are just a little...uh....well, you've been through a lot. I don't think you're ugly. In fact, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." He spun her around and hugged her.

"Really?"

"Of course."

She smiled as big as she had ever done in her life.

"I'm gonna get you some better clothes. Those traveling clothes are a mess. And you can take a bath. It's down the hall to the right. Make yourself at home."

"Thank you Sam." SHe whispered as he left. she took a nice, long, warm bath and he had left her a beautiful dress. Before he told her he must go. She wasn't really into dresses, but it was very nice on her. She strolled into town and heard some guy telling everyone the threat of mystical creatures. How horrid they are. It was only 3 in the afternoon. She overheard a few men talking.

"So we can't do it tonight?" one asked.

"Nah. The preist says that they want the new ones that were spotted today. So at the latest, in one week."

"Oh Damn! I was really looking forward to it. Well I guess it'll be esier if there are more of em."

She ran as fast as se could, right into Sam's house. She bumped into him and he caught her before she fell.

"You ok?"

"Yeah just had a scare."

Raiana swore under her breath. Too much was happening at once. The dragon had no idea where anyone was. Kailani had left in a rush, trying to do something with the possesed Telayna. Lethero, the werecats, and the two shapeshifters had disappered, and Nicarga and Syden were nowhere to be seen.

Raiana sighed. Nothing was ever easy.

She ran into the forest and climbed into the highest tree she could see. Hopefully, it was high enough for her to spot SOMEONE.

She reached the top and looked around. All she could see was forest, forest, and more forest. She saw, far in the distance, the human camp where the creatures were.

"Well, that IS where everyone is heading...so i may as well go there and see if anyone is trying to do something, hopefully nothing foolish." Raiana thought. She skillfuly hopped down from the tree and onto the soft forest floor. Immdeiatly, she was set upon by a human.

"Who are you? You shouldn't be out here. Its against the law for women to leave the town." he said.

"Haven't you heard?" Raiana asked, a wicked grin spreading across her face. "There are a bunch of Mythical creatures are running around these woods."

The man took a step back. "You're one, aren't you?" he asked, aiming his gun.

"That's a good possibility." Raiana said and before the human could react, her hand became a claw and she sliced through his neck. Blood splattered over her and gushed down her hand. She stepped back and the body slid to the ground. Raiana wiped her hand on his shirt and glanced around. Humans were like ants, annoying pests and where there was one, there were bound to be more.

She saw no one in the thick forest and took off running in the direction of the camp. Her legs carried her far and, even though she regretted not being in dragon form, she couldn't risk it.

All of the sudden, she ran straight into someone, unseen until the last ossible second. Raiana sprang to her feet and looked to see who it was.

"Kailani!" Raiana gasped.

"Raiana?" Kailani asked, peering at Raiana in the fading light.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you with the others?" Raiana asked, helping Kailani to her feet.

"I could ask you the same question." Kailani said.

"We...kind of got seperated." Raiana said.

"Yeah, same here. Raiana, its back and i saw it with my own eyes." Kailani said.

"What!? Where?"

"It possesed Telayna. I got it out of her, put i lost it after that."

"Damn. It could be anywhere." Raiana cursed. She was so frusterated. It was back, and there was nothing she could do about it, now.

"We need to get to that camp. Our first priority is to free those creatures and make sure no one gets killed, like Lethero and Nicarga. We will need them if we are to take it on. If it gets to those creatures befoer us, who knows what it will do." Raiana said.

"Right." Kailani nodded and the two ran off down the path.

"Wait! Why are we running?" Kailani grabbed Raiana's wrist and the two teleported to the camp and crouched low to the ground. For now, there seemed to be nothing amiss, and they didnt see anyone they knew. They figured they would wait a bit to see if anyone would show up, and if not, this was going to be one diffucult rescue.

Lethero sheathed his sword. "Thanks," he said. "We need to get going."

"Yes, let's go," James said.

"Do you need my help carrying Geogria?"

"No, I'm fine."

She woke up in bed. She turned her head and saw Sam asleep next to her. She screamed and fell out of the bed.

He woke up. "You ok love? Did you sleep well?" He said smiling again.

"Yeah you uh just frightened me. I forgot you were next to me. I'm not used to waking up with a man next to me." She smiled nervously and he was laughing. She joined in laughing to and he hugged her.

"You give the best hugs Sam." He smiled and kissed her cheek.

"I must go for the weekend. Big thing happening. Take care my love." He said and walked out the door. Then pain hit her. Pain of guilt. She remembered Althen and cried. She liked Sam, but Alten was her own kind. She grabbed some money Sam left her and wrote a note to him.

Dear Beloved Sam,

I am sorry, but I must leave. Not for another man. I swear. I have friends in need of help. I love you and always will. I hope to see you again some day.

Don't Forget.

Love,
Telayna.

What? She wasn't lying. Althen was a Alan. Not a man. She left the note by the dresser and bought some traveling clothes and food. Then was off to find the others and save Althen.

catalina had been scouting ahead for the pack, as an egle which was worshiped by the nearest village. Suddenly, she saw a glint of somthing shiny. She swooped doewn for a closer look and flew straight back to leothero.

"I really hate guns," Georgia said as she walked.

"I know the feeling, but don't expect me to put this thing down."

"OKay i don't like guns pointed at me."

"There."

Lethero walked behind Georgia and James as they talked. Catalina reappeared next to Lethero's foot. "So what did you find?"

"Let's see," she said sarcastically, "lot's of humans, some creatures in cages, the usual."

"Catalina, be serious."

Catalinia explained what she found in a more serious tone.

"Well we've got to help them!" Georgia declared.

"You're not going anywhere," Lethero instructed.

"Come on Lethero, I can handle myself."

"REally?" He poked her gunshot wound.

"That's your fault, if you hadn't been so adiment about going off this wouldn't have happened."

"You're still not coming," Lethero said.

"He's right," James said, "you're still not compleatly healed, if you push yourself too far you'll be in SERIOUS trouble."

"You two have got to be the most-" she cut herself off, she couldn't think of a word. "I really don't like you two." She said simply.

"Now that's not nice," Lethero teased.

"So, I get to be mad at you right now."

"Fine, but you aren't coming."

Lethero flashed Georgia a quick smile abd was off towards the human camp, with Catalina at his heels. "Where are they other Wercats?" Lethero asked.

"Posted around the camp," Catalina said.

"Ok can you go in there and get me some human clothing, I can use it to desgiuse myself."

"Sure, be back," Catalina said and she was off.

Georgia crossed her arms and turned away from them, "why aren't you going? you're allowed to." she was really ticked off.

"I'm not-"

"They're going to need help, go help them!" She turned away from James, he set the gun down, turned into a wolf and followed them.

Georgia sat down on the grass and crossed her legs inside her dress. "Men," she sighed and laid back. "I remember now why I left to begin with."

"The priest wants them alive," One of the men said, " He wants to get the information of the rest of their packs where about."

"Then he can kill us now, you aren't getting it." Nicarga growled at him.

"You'll talk, trust me." He smiled,

"Whats the plan?" Syden asked.

"We're stuck, i don't know what we could do to get away." She sighed, "But we can't go to the priest either." She readjusted the sword that was in her hand and waited. The group of men started to break apart and a man dressed in robes stepped out and smiled at them.

"Aw, so I see we've found some wolves." He said, Nicarga growled lowly fury rising in her throat.

"Relax, we aren't going to kill either of you until we have the information we want, and we are going to get it." He smiled.

"To bad we're both loners, there aren't any more wolves around here, you killed them years back." Syden said nudging Nicarga to play along.

"The leader was a big black wolf with a white stripe down his back, he had one bad eye but I'm sure that if you were there he was the one that gave you that scar." Nicarga hissed motioning towards the scar on the top of the priest's head.

"THere is another pack around here, and y'all must know where they are. I've heard wolves always know what is going on around them." The priest laughed bitterly. A man about Lethero's age apeared next to him and smiled, his hand came up and both wovles made a break for the woods but were frozen stiff.

"Stupid trator," Nicarga hissed, they could still talk. The priest walked over to them and smiled,

"I'm sure it should be easy to get information out of you." He smiled at Nicarga,

"After I kill you I'll make sure no one will be able to reconize you." She snarled. Syden looked at her, Nicarga wondered why he wouldn't talk, then it hit her, they didn't want him talkin, they wanted to infuriate her. "You'll be dead soon, you've just battled with an undying force. And you, trator, you'll make for a fun kill."
