Mythical Creatures of Sada 2

Sano ran for the woods. He was no good there. After trying to fight a dragon he barley took down he decided he had over stayed his welcome. As he reached the edge of the wood he heared a scream from above. A dragon had a girl in its claws. He realized it was the elf from before. He saw her shoot of it's foot, but she was still trapped and falling fast with other dragons closing in.

"Son of a..." Sano took off in sprint holding onto the handle of his axe. When he thought he had a clear shot he took it straight from his back and threw it spinning at the closed claw. The large blade cut through the talons and the elf fell more quickly missing the dragon. Sano settled under her a waited to catch her.

He caught her, but he fell to the ground a swore in pain. When he was helped to the ground he sighed, "I thought you elves were supposed to be light and graceful."

**A bit confused here...**

::Peyton::

Peyton continued to run, panting hard. The extra weight wasn't helping her at all. She glanced behind and saw a dragon soaring after them, crashing through all the trees in its path. She swore under her breath and dodged a soht of fire, jumping through the burning flames and continuing.

::Travis::

Travis ran his fingers through Alesha's hair trying to calm her. He cussed out loud at Peyton as she ran through flames. "Last thing I need is to have us catch on fire!" He growled.

"Then you be the pack mule!" Peyton barked back, her words now only known to Travis due to her being full form. Travis grumbled something unaudible and turned to Alesha, who had screamed once again.

"Calm down," he whispered, "It'll be okay."

****I have been gone for a day and am several pages behind. What happened and where are my people???****

Lethero Sr.

Lethero parried a blow and took off the head of his attacker. That was when he remembered that Laney and Velna were still at his house. Damn!" he cursed as he cut down another man and made his way towards his house.

Lethero made it to his house finally with some difficulty. He threw open his door to find Laney and Velna with their weapons drawn in his face. "Oh, sorry Lethero," Laney said sheating her weapon.

"No, keep your sword out." Lethero entered and slammed the door behind him.

"What's going on out there?" Velna asked.

"A war. Now don't ask anymore questions. I want you to run as fast as you can towarsd the west end of the forest. Run as fast as you can and defend yourself well."

"What about you?"

"I will stay here and fight till everyone is gone." Laney was about to protest, but Lethero silenced her. "Do not worry about me. I may be old, but I can still fight better than all those bastards.

Anyway, continue you on and you should come across my son and some other survivors. Tell him to stay there until I return. If I do not return within a few hours go on without me.

"But-"

No buts. Do you understand me?"

"Yes sir," both girls said. They ran out of the house and towards the forest.

Lethero collapsed against the chair and started tending to the cut on his left forearm that he had managed to hide from the two girls. With a sewing kit he painfully sewed the skin back together. He tied up the end, cut the extra off, and returned to battle.

Laney:

Laney ran her feet picking up the pace as she went. Velna clung to her shirt as she went. She saw Aren fighting on her way out. He was surronded by two guys. She killed one and he killed the other.

"LET'S GO!" She yelled grabbing his arm and pulling him with her.


**tears**

Ra'enya

I looked at Sano, not sure how to respond. He had just saved me...He had caught me!

"Um..." I smiled at him, "thanks. And we're human, just like you. Just because we're gifted doesn't mean we can't be clumsy."

I looked at the dragons that were flying away. Damn it all. I'd missed my chance.

"They're the ones...the ones that wiped out my family...and I missed the shot at the leader..."

I fell to my knees as grief and anger swamped me; I fought to hold back my sobs.

Alesha:

I hurt everywhere. I didn't help that other people were hurting. I could feel every pinch, sword, arrow, cut, any and every wound on their body, not to mention my own. I tried to block out the screams, but it didn't help. I concentrated on that wonderful voice. I loved the hands. They helped soothe my aching body. I finally opened my eyes to see Travis. I smiled up at him and without thinking, pressed my lips to his, feeling wonderful. I sighed and vlosed my eyes again, reveling in the feeling of him.

Aren:

I growled and trnasformed, racing along with Laney. we had to get out of here. I saw some other wolf like creatures head towards the woods. I nodded in that direction, hoping Laney would follow. The mayham around us was horrible. dead dragons and humans littered the ground as well as some of our own. I just hoped that someone knew what to do in the midst of this.

::Travis::

Shocked by this Travis began to pull away but decided against it, kissing Alesha back. He stifled and laugh and ran his fingers through her hair, oblivious to everything else around.

::Peyton::

Peyton stopped and did a quick victory prance as she lost the dragon. She grinned and looked back at Travis, wanting to tell him the news. Now, she wanted to gag. She growled lowly at Alesha and transformed into her human self, dropping Travis and Alesha to the ground. "Peyton!" Travis yelled and Peyton gave him a death glare.

"Go find another pack mule," Peyton barked loudly, glaring one more time and running off at a blinding speed. Love brings protection. If you constantly want to protects that person, it brings failure. I won't fail. Peyton thought with a snarl, putting more space in between the two and herself.

Alesha:

I groaned as I hit the hard ground. I winced as my wounds started throbbing. The noise level was deafening. I longed for quiet, for peace. I hated the strong sense of hurt I felt near by. But this was emotional hurt and damage. someone was hurting internally. I gasped as I felt their wound. I moaned and tried to move, but my body was still in bad shape. it was healing quickly, but not enough. Internally, the wounds still hurt. and being dropped didn't help any.

(See, this is why I don't like storybooks with too many people. The plot moves too quickly when I'm not around and all the posts get confusing. One of Rabid_Writer's characters had Alesha and another on her back, not mine. Sigh, oh well.)

Draco landed in the forest beside Ra'enya and Sano. Ryder slipped off his back. "Thanks for the ride." The dragon nodded.

Ra'enya looked up at the dragon, marveling at its size. "Are you a friend or foe?" she asked.

Friend.

Ra'enya gasped when she heard a voice in her head.

You seem surprised. Speaking mind-to-mind is one of the abilities the black dragons possess.

"Black dragons!?" She brought out her weapon and pointed it at the dragon. "You're with them!"

Calm yourself. I am not one of them.

"Then why do you happen to be in the same town why they attacked?"

Because it was their target in the first place.

::Travis::

Travis snarled silently at his sister's actions. He stood up and helped Alesha onto his back, not bothering to transform into his dog form. "I'm sorry about that. My sister is such a little brat sometimes. In her mind the only thing that matters is herself and the people we've got to find. She's really selfish." Travis sighed and began to run, still in human form. His strides were smooth and gentle. He made sure not to hurt Alesha any further. "She gets on my nerves so bad," he sighed, "I'd love it if sometimes she'd just leave me alone. We've been side by side since we were born. She's never left my side for more than a couple of minutes and it really annoys me. Her selfishness, her attitude, everything!"

Alesha:

I swallowed. "Tha-That's al-right." I struggled. "I-I'm sorry." I closed my eyes as my head pounded. I was starting to wake up more. I realized that the deep pain I felt earlier had come from peyton. "Ever wonder if it's something else?" I asked him, trying to be nice. But I was commpletely drained. Unlike others;my "powers" never turned off, thus leaving me drained if I was around a lot of people hurting. I could still fight, but I was limited. I found it better when I worked with healing because I could always find the source of their problem. I sighed and laid my head on his shoulder. "How much further?" I whispered.

::Peyton::

Anger pulsed through her veins, along with a mix of emotions. She automatically sent them towards Travis in huge emotional waves, ones that she knew he would feel no matter how distracted he was.

::Travis::

"We can stop here if you want. I think we're far enough from the town." Travis set Alesha on the ground, gathering a pile of wood and lighting it quickly until it grew and grew. A wave of emotion knocked him off his feet, making him almost land in the fire. Another one came, even stronger. "Good lord. That stupid sister!" He gripped his head and sat up right, grimacing as another hit.

Alesha:

I screamed as I felt pain so close. It hurt so bad! It stopped, then came again. I grimaced. On top of mine, I felt lik I was drained, and yet the pain kept coming. I gasped for air, wanting it to stop, but it didn't. I felt tears sting my eyes. I hated this war. the only good thing that came out of it was Travis. I jus wanted all this pain to stop! It was why I tended to be alone a lot. I just couldn't handle the feel of too many emotions at once. I screamed again as another wave of pain racked my body.

::Travis::

Travis immediately went over to Alesha, gathering her in his arms and sitting her in his lap. "Shh. What's wrong?" He whispered, trying to calm her down. I swear to god if it has anything to do with the waves Peyton sent I'll kill Peyton! He looked at her worridly, running a hand through her hair.

::Peyton::

Hearing the scream Peyton smiled wickedly and cut off the waves, walking towards the area she had left Travis. She came upon the two love birds and raised her lip in a snarl, jumping to the nearest tree branch and laying against the shaft of the tree, closing her eyes.
