Daklana woke him up with a bucket of cold water. He shrieked and she punched him in the gut. This man was dangling for chains by the ceiling. He was covered in cuts and bruises. He was only wearing torn, blood soaked pants. His bare chest was covered in sweat and blood. She kissed his lips and he shook. She moved to his neck and bit. He moaned then started to scream. She looked up at him wiping the blood off her mouth. She grabbed a whip and started beating on him. Everytime he screamed she got harder. When it looked like the man couldn't take anymore he came in. He was wearing his cloak and he looked at her.

"I've got a new pet Daklana. He seems promising."

"Promising eh?" She said licking her lips.

"No feeding off him. He's an elf. A very good one at that. But I may need your help if he starts to remember." He smiled and so did she.

"Of course Master."

"Daklana, I thought I said you were free of calling me that. I no longer am your master. You proved yourself when you killed those who had ruined you."

"Of course. It's just a habit. I did kill my family for you."

"No, you did it for yourself."

"Yes of course." He looked at the man hanging from the shackled and nodded to her. He left the room and the mans screams echoed until it stopped. Daklana walked out and wiped her mouth.


*I think this guy should have a name. But I just joined so I don't wanna take over. So you guys can think it up*

*where are you now Daklana?*
**if your evil join me for a while*


A.k 5 looked at them riding towards the clearing. he knew they would never make it.
he sommoned a spell and made some traps for them.

Lilly

Ariana and Tera went one way, Alexynia, Kate and me the other. As we approached the clearing, I looked back over my shoulder. No one was following us but, to the left, Arias was levitating towards Ariana and Tera who appeared to be tangled amid a net.
"Ride on, I'm going to help them," I called out to the two ahead of me.
"But..." Kate protested. Alexynia nodded and took the other girl by the arm, rossing the last few metres.

I turned my horse and hurtled towards the other girls. Pulling out my daggers, I leapt from the horses back and hurriedly sliced the nets away from Ariana, Tera and their horses. Then Arias descended on us.
"We can't fight him," Tera sighed.
"But we can't run either," Ariana realised.

A.k 5 smiled three girls were just standing there. He whispered some words. In a instant all three of them froze. A.k 5 whispered some other words, they suddenly fainted.
A.k 5 used his magic to do something that he did not want any enemy to know.

Tera's mind raced as she was froze in place. She started to feel her mind being crushed, then she fainted. Her mind buzzed but her eyes just wouldn't open. She had fallen for that stupid trap. She started to fight the dark mist that kept her in darkness. She summond all the strength she had to fight it and it slowly started to fade. "Almost there" She sighed to herself. She pushed against it again but it started fighting back.

Kate rode into the clearing and jumped off her horse. She turned to see Ariana, Lilly and Tera falling to the ground. She was about to run to them, but then her senses kicked in.

"Great..." Kate swore under her breath. She turned to Alexynia. "There is nothing to do now."

"You cant say that! We have to help them!" Alexynia protested.

Kate sighed and turned to the girl. "Help them? How? We cant kill Arias, and if we follow them, we will be caught and tortured until death, along with them. We would accomplish nothing."

"You're right. We cant kill Arias, but knocking him out wouldnt be a problem." Alexynia pointed out.

"I'm afraid it isnt that easy-"

"Sure it is. You have Rouge magic, dont you?"

"Yes..." Kate trailed off, clearly getting what Alexynia was saying. She nodded, transformed into the little black spider, and scurried away. She told Alexynia to stay here, in case anything went wrong.

Kate scurried into a tree only a few feet away from Arias. She drew one of her poison tipped arrows, whiped most of the poison off, so it would only knock him out for a while. She drew her bow and knocked the arrow.

Arias turned as he sensed her magic. Kate released her arrow, and it found its mark. It wedged itself into Arias's neck, and after a moment, he sank to the ground. Kate leaped off the tree and transformed into a dragon. Now was not the time for secreacy. She lifted Lilly, Ariana and Tera onto her back, and flapped her wings once, raising her enough to Grab Arias in her claws. She flew to the clearing and dumped Arias off in the trees as he could not enter.

Alexynia ran over and gently lifted the women off of Kate's back. Kate turned into an elf and ran to Arias. He was out cold. Kate took some strong vines, used her magic to make them unbreakable, even by magic, and tied Arias up. She cast another simple spell that made him immobile.

Kate walked back into the clearing. She checked on the others quickly, an seeing them fine, sat down.

"Can you do anything for them?" Alexynia asked.

"Yes. But i dare not use that much magic right now." Kate said.

"But you have to!" Alexynia demanded. Kate sighed and shrugged. She got up and transformed into a wolf. She was going to need spirit magic.

Kate worked with each woman in turn. When she finally finished, she lay back in the soft grass. She heard the others stirring and sighed. Now it was her turn to rest.

Lilly

When my body went rigid and the inky shadow of unconsciousness entombed me, I heard a voice.
"Lilly. I can't fight it. I need more magic."
"Arias? But how? I don't understand."

When I cast that teleporting spell, I couldn't see Ariana so I needed to borrow some of your magic to strengthen my own. At that moment we were linked and I didn't break the link when I was hypnotised so a part of me is still here. I need you to warn the others that someone is coming. A dark, powerful creature. You have to get far from here before she arrives," Arias explained.
"But I thought the clearing was safe?"
"Not always. Not from everyone and I doubt it is from her. Either way, don't take that chance. Warn them."

With that, I was jolted back to the waking world and his presence dwindled but it was still there, lingering in the back of my mind.
"We have to leave," I whispered with a dry throat. Then I repeated myself in a firmer voice.
"Why? We just found somewhere that's safe," Alexynia protested.
"But it isn't always," I replied.
"How do you know that?" Ariana demanded as she pulled herself into a sitting position.

"We got a problem," Tera said feeling the presence of a creature she had met before.

"What?" Alexynia asked.

"Theres a vampire around here somewhere, a very very dangerous one." She replied.

"We can deal with it." Kate said,

"Not this one, she'll kill us, easy." Tera sighed, "Its a mircle i've seen her and lived. Now lets ride." She changed form to a dragon and let the others climb on then took off.

Daklana received orders that his pet was cought. She was to bring him back. Why he would let her just have the little worm. He look good enough to eat. She let out a small laugh. She wipped through the trees and found him in an area of trees. He was unmoving.

"Magic." she spat. The worm couldn't even hold against magic. It took the best of magicians to be able to hold her for only an hour. She picked him up and threw him over her shoulder. She saw some girls running off and licked her lips. She loved a good chase. She preffered feeding off men, but if she was hungry, and boy was she hungry. He had told her no side trips. She rowled but went on. She saw it darkening. She hated being out in the day. Most vampires can't be in the sun or they burn up, but she could, but not for long. She needed the dark after a while or she grew weak. She took off with the one called A.k 5 back to his Master. When she reached the area it was fully dark and she smiled.

A.k 5 woke up, he was being carried by a vampire. Strong, but weak for the moment. Since he was far from the ones who had cast the spell the bounds of the ropes had weakened. A.k 5 smiled. Then in without a second thought he teleported out of the ropes. With his magic he sucked the magic out of the ropes and bound them around the surprised vampire. The he pushed the vampire under a shade.
"A worm eh" asked A.k 5 then added "you will be able to get out of those in a few minute. Until then i am going to finish my job."

Daklana struggled against the ropes. She still couldn't get out. This one was strong. But he's gonna get himself killed! Why should I care? He can kill himself! Fine by me! She thought. It had been about 5 minutes and the magic was weaker. She used all her strength and rippede the ropes off. She ran after him.

**Thanks a bunch Kitty, that summary was very helpful, much better than reading all those pages.**

"What do we do now?" Alexynia asked, looking around. "We have a killer vampire of doom on our trail, as well as a friend that has gone crazy. I don't want to leave Arias behind, but what else can we do?"

"I still think we can beat that vampire," Kate said.

"No, she's far too strong," Tera insisted.

"There are a lot of us, and we're all strong." Tera continued to shake her head no.

"Than how'd you survive it?" Arianna asked.

No problem WC, I'm glad Im could help =)

Lilly

"Let's just say I got lucky," Tera replied, evading the question.
"How? Arianna pressed.
"Look," I interrupted, "That's not important. Arias wanted us to resume our mission and that is what we should do but personally, I would love an explanation of what our mission is."
"I'm with Lilly on this one," Kate agreed.
"To be honest, I know little more than you. Arianna and Arias deal with the specifics," Alexynia admitted.

We turned to face Arianna in unison and she gave a little half shrug, a deep scowl and then sighed.
"To be honest, I only know where we're going and I can only guess at why. This mission belongs to Arias," Arianna sighed.
"Then why do they want you so badly? You must know something other than a vague direction," Tera protested.
"Well..."
"What is it?" Alexynia asked gently.

"Arias gave me some envelopes. I open one each time we reach a certain part in our journey. He said I should not read ahead and if we're caught Im should burn them all so that no knowledge leaks out," Ariana explained.
"I say we should open them all," Kate suggested.

A.k 5 levitated towards were the scent came from. He could not teleport since he did not know where exactly the others were. A.k 5 landed almost exhausted. He stretched his hands, closed his mind and released his mind. In less than one minute everything small began to die, then more larger things began to die. Finally even the large trees around him died. A.k 5 opened his blue glowing eyes. He was fully recharged even more than he was ever. This was black magic. Using it turned you more evil, but for A.k 5 knowing he was more evil was was soothing.

Tera didn't like any of this, she sighed and followed the others, but she could feel that vampire. THe side of her neck began to burn where the vampire had tried to feed off here. She unconciously pulled her shirt up incase it was showing. She felt cold suddenly. She had to get this 'assinment' done and then she could go back and wonder by herself.
