Wars of the races

Lily

I watched as Zire placed Alexynia by the fire and then stalk away again, Daklana at his side. I didn't trust those two and yet... there was an urge in me to do so. A part of me wanted to get up and dance along to their enchanting song. Perhaps I've just had bad experiences with vampires and maybe my resistance to them is no more than a bias against creatures of the dark but...

I sighed and leant over Alexynia. The bite in her neck was shallow and little blood had been drained so it was an accident, yes? They mistook her for a plain passerby but still. Hadn't Zire implied that they would feed off of animals? With a sigh, I washed the wound with a handful of water, wrapped a cloth bandage around it and pulled her shirt across to hide it.

Ariana closed her eyes and tried to sleep, even though she knew she never would again. She needed to walk, she needed to see for herself Arias's body.

She rose and in a zombie like state walked passed everyone and into the woods, in the oppsite direction that Zire and Daklana went.

The direction she chose was in the direction of the-now demolished- castle. She didn't know if they were following her, and she didn't care. Let them follow her, let anyone follow her, it didn't matter anymore.

**Thank you, Thank you Thank you for posting A13**

Zire yawned. He wiped the blood off his face and then licked the blood off his arm. Beneath the branch he was on a dead horse lay.
I wonder where Daklana is though Zire
Suddenly someone bit him on the neck, sucked some of his blood and pushed him off the branch. Zire looked up the minute he landed. Daklana now stood on the branch laughing.
"I couldn't resist it. I am sooo refreshed" said Daklana still laughing.
"Why you!...I'm going to get you for that" Said Zire
"How?" asked Daklana

"Like this" said Zire and disappeared.
He appeared behind Daklana and bit her on the neck sucked some blood and pushed her down.
"I hear something" said Zire suddenly.
"Yeah me too" repeated Daklana and ran towards the sound without making a sound followed by Zire.

(They heard the foots steps of Ariana)


**Hope this is okay SAC**

Ariana could sense Zire and Daklana following her now, and ignored them as best she could. She didn't think they knew who they were following, until they tackled her.

"What do you want?" she asked.

Daklana and Zire looked at her surprised. "We could ask you the same question."

**Some one take control of Tera untill TN returns**




"I was just... walking" replied Ariana
"He's dead Ariana" said Zire
"How did you know?" said Ariana
"If you really want to go you can go with one of us. The other must stay with Alexania and Tera" said Zire
"I will go with Daklana" said Ariana to Daklana's surprise
"Well hurry up and return" said Zire , he turned into an owl and flew back.

Daklana saw Zire fly off.

"Psh. Did it accour to them to ask me?" She said, mostly to herself. She turned to Ariana. "Why me?" She asked. She shrugged and they walked to the area where the castle once stood.

*I don't know what to put...And Firestalker, that scene was fine. lol*

Lily

I turned my head at the sound of wings and watched an owl perch on a branch near by. For an owl it sure was nosy and I couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. Tera stirred and I went to her, draping a spare jacket across her shivering form until she lay still again. Where had Ariana gone? I'd considered following after her when she left the camp but with the vampires out hunting and the others sleeping, I didn't feel comfortable leaving no guard.

"Why do you not sleep?" A voice asked softly. I turned to find Zire sat on a branch, high in a tree. The very spot where the owl had been. Very clever.
"I'm watching them," I replied vaguely.
"You do not trust me to do that?" Zire asked.
"I do not know you," I answered simply and turned away, humming a tune under my breath, lower than a whisper. I don't know why the song came to me but my mother used to sing it to put me to sleep and it helped soothe my pain at Arias' passing.

**No one can post anything about Arias or A.k 5 alive unless they PM me with a good reason**





"Good, don't trust anyone, you'll live longer" replied Zire
"Where's Daklana and Ariana?" asked Lilly
"Gone to check if Arias is really dead or not" said Zire
"Is he?" asked Lilly
"Yes he is" replied Zire confident
"well then, why didn't you stop them?" asked Lilly
"I...I just hoped that he....... I told her, but she didn't listen" said Zire
"Well the sooner she comes the better, I don't trust Daklana" said Lilly
"I do" said Zire
"I just thought you said don't trust anyone for you'll live longer" said Lilly
"Well practically i cant die. And i know she wont hurt Ariana, but if she does i sware to drink almost every drop of blood in her" said Zire gritting his teeth then added smiling "And she might even like it"

"I'd rather go with you than Arias's brother," Ariana admitted.

"Ah, how do you know I won't kill you?"

"I don't really care anymore. I deserve to go to hell."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because its my fault Arias is dead, I kissed him and Darius Darius=the hooded dude caught us."

"Yeah...it is your fault huh?" Daklana said.

"Oh thanks for the kind words." She growled.

"Anytime." She winked and smiled. "Come on, let's get back."

"But he could still be out there." She said desperately.

"Ariana, he's dead. Did you not see the big explosion? Do yo not see the ruins of it in front of us? Give him up!" Daklana said, grabbing her shoulder.

"Get your hand off of me." She said, trying not to show her fear. Daklana lunged forward and nipped her neck, but didn't feed, and then started laughing. Ariana shot her angry looked and stormed back to camp. Daklana rolled her eyes and followed her from a distance. Ariana sat on a log and glared at Daklana who leaned against a tree. Lily saw the marks and freaked.

"Oh my gosh! You bit her! You aren't supposed to hurt her!" She yelled at her. Zire turned and looked at her with eyes that she couldn't even tell the emotion of.

"What? I didn't do anything. But I might just..." She glared at Lily.

Ariana crossed her legs and continued to glare at Daklana. There was a small sliver of hope, Arias had survived a blast like that before.

Maybe she could convince Zire to go with her this time. He'd let her go all the way. She had to do something.

"Zire," she whispered sevreral hours later, "will you go with me? I have to see this."

Alexynia sat up, holding her head. She was slightly dizzy, and the back of her neck hurt.

"What happened?" She asked, looking around. She saw Zire and Alice sitting near the edge of camp, and Daklana leaning against a tree at the other end of camp.

"Someone accidently bit you!" Lily answered, glaring at Daklana with utter disgust.

"you bit me?" Alexynia exclaimed, jumping up and whipping out her dagger angrilly. Her other hand glowed as a purpley fire ball appeared in it.

"Woah, just calm down!" Tera exclaimed fomr her seat. "I'm sure Daklana has a REASONABLE explaination..." she turned her gaze to the vampire expectantly.

"Well, I...um...I." Daklana stammered. Alexynia prepared to hurl the fire-ball at her at full force, anger consuming every bit of good judgement she pocessed.

Lily

With a regretful sigh, I gently took hold of Alexynia's raised hand. She turned to glare at me in anger and surprise. I winced as the fire flickered towards my arm but dared not release her. Perhaps I would not be able to stop her should she decide to throw the fire bolt but at least I'd know that I'd tried.

"No more fighting, okay? It's late," I whispered soothingly. She frowned at me and jerked her arm away so I placed a hand on her shoulder instead.

"Lily's right," Tera agreed passionately. "We have to all work together now." Alexynia though did not seem to be listening. With a blind fury, she hurled the fire. Daklana had already moved though and now she edged a few more steps out of range.

"Get her under control or I'm out of here!" Daklana declared.

"Alexynia, calm down!" Lily snapped, sounding a little stern. Alexynia glared at her, her eyes glowing. "Alexynia?"

"She's not herself; she has been taken over by Elf-Rage; it happens when and elf becomes too irritable, or holds in their emotions for too long," Tera noted.

"How do we stop it?"

"We either calm her down, knock her out, or kill her," Tera's answer was nonchalant.

"I vote we knock her out," Lily said, looking at Tera to be the one to do it.

"I vote we kill her," Daklana answered, stepping foreward eagerly.

"No!" Lily snapped, glowering at the vampire. "No one is dying. Tera, knock Alexynia out before she hurts someone," Alexynia was forming another fireball, this one large and red, in her hands, and throwing it around playfully. Tera sighed, stood up, and hit Alexynia in the back of the neck, a pressure point. Alexynia crumpled on the ground, and Daklana stalked off angrily.

Lily

I glared at Daklana one last time and then turned to observe Alexynia. I straightened her body out gently and tucked a jacket under her head.

"Everyone happy?" I asked as Kate stirred and then sat up and blinked sleepily.

"Good morning," Kate mumbled.

"Morning?" Tera responded. Together, we all raised our heads to the sky and saw the first light of dawn creeping across the horizon.

"Morning," Daklana agreed with a toothy grin.

"Where's Ariana?" Kate asked, peering around.

"She went to assure herself that Arias is dead," Tera explained.

"On her own?" Kate gasped.

"No. Zire went with her," I replied.
