((Just wanted to let everyone know that Dre and I are thinking up a new plot line for the hunters so everyone don't do anything drastic before we finalize it! Dre has some really really good ideas!! So go slow:)))

Slithering back and forth Azra watched the hunter intently and got ready to strike at any point. "Not sssso extinct asss mosst think." When she had shifted her tongue shifted also so now she hissed as she spoke. Azra was so angry that her fangs slid out and gleamed in the night. "You really think you can take on two of usssssss?" As she was talking she felt Ahanna coming nearer them. Flicking her hand a lightening bolt sprang up in her hand to shape into a sword. Lightening pulsed off the sword as she spun it in her hand. Grinning she struck out fast aiming her sword at the hunters head.

Still in a fighting position Chenol shifted as her sister distracted the hunter. Within seconds she was now on her tail, more powerful. Her tail flicked behind her as she watched her sister and the hunter intently.

Laughing hard Zalia nodded. "Yes we are the old naggy women of the circus and I agree!" She continued to laugh as Cire's stomach growled but settled down when she felt what Cire was talking about. "I feel it also, there are hunters in the circus. The magic is calling to me." As Ahanna left Zalia shouted after the elf. "Be careful!" Bending down Zalia grabbed her staff from her boot and whispered a word making it regular size again. "Let's go to the tent Cire, the three of them can take care of themselves and will know if they need help."

Rythen wrapped his arms around her too. He blushed at the thought of what succubi usually used this power for. "Good, then you wouldn't be hurt. I wouldn't want you to pop up in my dream only to be killed by a hunter who is long gone." He pulled away from her. "And I know you wouldn't do anything I didn't want." He smiled at her. "Your too sweet for that. Well then in that case you may enter my dreams. There isn't really anything I care if you know. Just that another shouldn't have those nightmares. It is enough for me and Ahanna." He paused at that thought. "I want you to know something though. I love Ahanna and that feeling is always stronger in my dreams. But I want you to understand it is the love of family I feel for her. I just don't want you to get in there and feel that and be hurt by it." He stopped talking and just looked up at her.

In his dreams he was always thinking of Ahanna, especially in the nightmares. It always felt like if he lost her he would die too. Rythen knew that in all probablity if she did die he would soon follow her.

((edit: ok, I'll wait to post with the others for a bit then.))

((Thank you:) I just want to wait for Dre to get back on to talk more about it!! Hopefully will have the plot by tonight!))

----------

We are getting two more hunters soon!

((That's fine. I'd like to know what the other hunters want to do too. I feel weird just sitting there but I don't want to ruin anyone else's plans. Yay, our group is getting bigger.))

((I'll tell you when I get the profiles! So you can talk to Papillon))

((New hunter profiles are up!))

Rythen reached out to her knowing he had once again hurt her. "I'm sorry I've hurt you. My feelings for her aren't the same as the ones I have for her. She's just... she's just the only family I have left. I watched everyone die. She's the only one I still have." His voice broke for a moment before he continued. "But I was hoping to change that." He looked away before continuing. "We were told to wed five hundred years ago. In all those years our feelings never grew and never changed for each other and they never will. Some day I will give her away at her wedding and it will be a happy day." He turned back to Mellie and placed his hand on the bed but didn't touch her. "I care about you. I wouldn't agree to let any of the others into my head, especially not Ahanna."

((cool, I'll go look))

((Ok everyone I need your help! Here is what Dreizehn thought up! I would like to hear your input:)

Zalia decides to try to enlist the hunters as personal guards for her circus? So hunters I really need your input!
THEN maybe add some corruption later on with them.

Just a broad idea I would like to add more to it so please input away!!!))

When her blow hit, even though it was slight Azra laughed wickedly. She had been itching for a real fight and now she had one. If she wasn't careful she was going to loose control. When the hunter came at her stomach swinging she slithered back trying to block his blows. She deflected everyone but one, his sword nicked her side and she let out a hiss. Baring her fangs she raised her sword, this time when the blow hit lightening would shoot out and hit anything the sword touched.

Off to the side Chenol was staying out of the way, still watching intently. When the hunter attacked her sister she cocked her head to side in though. The way he moved was graceful, like a snake. Gasping Chenol watched watched her sister get ready to make a blow and she knew she had to stop the fight. Flicking out her tail she wrapped it around the hunters waist and pulled him backwards. Her movements were so fast and unexpected the hunter didn't stand a chance. When he was behind her Chenol let him go then turned around. "Azra he'sss one of us. He might not be fully but he hasss Naga blood in him." She watched the hunter for any sudden movement.

Azra was just about to land her blow when Chenol swept the hunter away. She started to hiss but cut herself off when she heard her twins words. "Are you sssure?" When Chenol nodded Azra knew it must be. Slithering forward she stopped by her sister and stared at the hunter. "Did you know?" She asked softly? Now that she knew he was one of them she had no hatred for him.

((Sounds good to me. I mean I've already made my characters into people that don't like the hunters and will flip sides to survive.))

Roe gasped when she saw one of the nagas grap and pull Mikhail out of way of the other's attack. Then she heard what was said. She looked at her sister to see what she was thinking.

Rae couldn't believe this. The leaders could not know this bit of information. Then her eyes widened at a thought. Maybe they did know. Why else send so few hunters after a group like this. Maybe we are being culled instead of the freaks.

((Sweet ok!!! And now everyone may post as they wish! Now more 'slow' posts lol))

Chenol slithered forward just a bit and tried to look as least intimidating as she could. "Thiss isssn't a joke I promisse. We know our own kind when we sssee them. You are one of ussss." She heard a gasp coming from the woods but ignored it she knew her sister would protect her as she talked to the hunter. "What'ss your name? I'm Chenol and my twin is Azra." She was hoping to strike up a conversation with him to distract him so she could grab his sword.

Hearing the gasp Azra swung her head in the direction of it and studied the surroundings. Slithering forward she looked around, as she went forward she could feel two other hunters. Curious she held her sword at the ready in case they attacked her. "I know your out there. Why don't you ssshow yourself. If your a friend of the hunter here we don't want to harm him."

Before Rae could stop her Roe stepped off the tree limb landing on the ground easily. She slid her katanna in place at her hip but brought her arms up. She walked out of the tree line so that they could see her. She started to speak when she heard another thud behind her.

Roe sighed as her sister disappeared. She looked down to find her sister walking toward one of the nagas. Before her sister could speak she had landed on the ground and was walking forward. "I guess he can be considered a friend. First time meeting him though." She moved her hands forward from behind her back, each holding a gun. Instead of pointing them at the woman she simple threw them low towards her then held up her hands. "I don't like being played with and this all appears to be a game for our leaders. They sent us out to die so we will not fight you. I hope your kindness towards that man will extend to us." She kept ready though. She had tossed only two of her guns while she had three more still on her. If they had to fight to leave they would but she no longer wanted too. There was no point. They couldn't go back to the hunters now.

Rae turned to look at Mikhail. "I am not here to help you. You were the one to rush into an attack. I am always serious when my sister's life is at stake. The order has tried to many times to get us killed and this just proves it. Why send three hunters, that they have reasons not to want around, to take out this group? We were told they were a strong group that had to be destroyed and yet just us. I have seen them send entire families out for a single monster. I will not die for them. What will you do?"

Roe silently watched everything. She noticed that no one had mentioned the elf that was still watching them.

Ahanna knew they all knew she was there and one of the human females was staring at her but she did not move or speak. She would not leave the twins, especially now, but if she had to she was far enough away that she could get away for help if need be.

Rae was so mad. Men were so stupid and only saw one way. He said the leaders had always been happy with him but he didn't seem to realize things change. "Sitting in a tree would have been better then a stand off and a lightening sword to the gut. And you want to know what we did to piss off the others? They wanted me to kill a phoneix instead of save my sister. I was told to leave her. To use the distraction to kill our mark. And she would have died. I disobeyed, I saved my sister and I let the bird fly away. And that is why we don't work with other hunters. You still think they are going to attack us. If they wanted you dead you would have been gutted already!"

((I forgot they both had snakes tongue's right now lol. So they hiss when they talk!))

Watching as the two girl hunters disarmed themselves Azra couldn't help but feel relieved. "Yesss our kindnesss goess out to you two alssso." She glanced at Mikhail and frowned. "I didn't mean it like that! Gosssh.." Looking back to the sisters she listened as they talked. "Great! Ssso were on the watch lissst? I really need to talk to Zalia about upping the charmssss." When one of the girls spoke about hunting down phoenix's Azra hissed. "The hunterss are hunting down one of the mossst sssacred creaturesss in the world?" Now she was mad but she made herself calm down so she didn't spook the girls into using the weapons still hidden on there bodies. When the hunter's outed Ahanna she looked in her direction. "Ahanna can you pleassse go get Zalia. We need her."

As Chenol watched Mikhail with interest her upper body was swaying while her lower half stayed still. Back and forth she swayed as she listened to everyone talk. "Mikhail, a very nicce name. The hunterss probably didn't want to tell you about your blood. Just like thossse two are sssaying they probably want you dead. You move like usss, I noticed it while you were fighting my sssisster. Not asss graceful but you do." She ignored everyone else and just focused on him.
