(hm... maybe when either both of them are passed out of Destiny's about to)

Destiny whimpered and shivered some the tears still coming down her face as she saw the blood from Jace's back and hoped that he wouldn't bleed to death... though she remembered someone saying that they weren't aloud to kill either of them so she wasn't too awful worried... still it was enough. She listened to Jace as he continued to murmur things to her though she had to do this, she had to keep him safe. She shivered when she heard the male and whimpered at him some closing her eyes tight as she lowered her head a bit scared to see the blade AND feel it.

((how about right before Destiny passes out we have them head out to get the others))

THe man smirked when he saw the tears and just moved closer as he got hsi sword ready. "awww, dont cry girly it wont hurt that much." he said as he got hte blade and placed it on her stomach and slowly drew a line across her. Blood insantly started to cmome out of her. Jace growled when he smelled her blood and wanted to hurt him more then anything else. The man continued to hurt her and drew lines across her till he heard someone say, "come on, we need to fetch the others before they start to get suspicious." he said as he drew the last line on destiny and she was now covered in bloody lines. He then pulled hte blade away and smirked at her, "we will be back you two." he said and dropped them on the ground before starting to head out of there. Jace looked at her and tried to move towards her.

Destiny whimpered at the man though didn't scream the first few times that the blade cut through her skin. Soon however she couldn't hold it back anymore and had to let out the screams of pain as the lines got deeper and moving into more tender areas such as her back, thighs, and shoulders, there was even a thin one right under her collar bone. When they let her go she just fell to the ground flat on her back. She whimpered some though slowly moved and was able to pulled herself over to Jace and lean against him some with her head. One of her arms reached around to his shoulders where the deep gashes were and she let her powers heal him just enough so the wounds wouldn't bleed anymore then she leaned against him and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Jace looked at her worried when he saw her gashes but relaxed when he felt her hand on his back. But when he felt her magic going into him to heal him he wanted to pull back. When she was done he slowly wrapped a arm around her and pulled her close to him. "you shouldn't of done that." he said softly and slowly started to thread some of the remaining power he had into her. Her wounds closed slightly so she wasn't bleeding as badly but that was all he could do. He then pulled her into his arms and held her even though it took a lot of strength to do. "were still alive." he said but he knew part of him was dead. His wings were gone but at least he still had her. That was all that mattered.

"I won't die from bleeding like you will though." Destiny whispered as she looked up at him and found even laying on the floor with him was nice. "I... I have an idea but you have to trust me... you can't get mad at me." she whispered softly and didn't have a pretty good idea. The men knew that the two were so weak they were almost dead so she had a feeling they left the door unlocked and she knew easily how to get herself and Jace up to the door... it would just take half of her strength but she didn't care. If they could get out in the open Kaze would see them and have someone come and help them or her parents or Konran would find them sooner.

Jace nodded and held her close to him. The thought of death made him shiver and he kissed her head gently, "well we aren't dead now and I know we aren't going to die any time soon." he said to her softly but frowned when he heard her. Slowly he nodded at her and said softly, "okay, I won't get mad but if I don't like it you will know." he said and wondered what she had in mind. He hoped it didn't involve her getting hurt again because he doubt he would be able to deal with that. It was already hard to see her like this. She was usually so brave and strong and now she was hurt and scared. He never wanted her to be like this again. He would protect her better then anyone else from now on.

Slowly Destiny took a breath in before moving a little bit away from Jace and shifting into her albino panther form laying on the ground as low as she could so he could get on her back easily. "Get on... no complaints just get on and hold on as tight as you can until I need you to move." she told him though her mouth didn't move really as she spoke to him and hoped that he would do as she said since she knew she could get them out of here she just had to do it right.

When he heard destiny he just looked at her and felt horror wash over him. That would surely hurt her more then anything else. But deep down he knew there was no choice. He was worse off then her since he had a part od him cut out of him. Hefelt like he could hardly move half the time. But slowly he nodded, "fine.. But tell me of I am heavy." he said and you could tell he hated it. But slowly he managed to get himself over and onto her. It nearly made his back start bleedig again but thankfully it didn't.

Destiny grunted some when she felt the weight on her back though then stood making sure he had a good grip on her before moving quickly up the stairs. "Get the door, I can't right now and I'm not strong enough to break it down." she told him and had a plan. Even if they couldn't get away she could get out of the house and fall onto the ground then start whining which would right away bring Kaze out. He knew her whine since he had heard her when she was younger and he would come to visit.

Jace gripped onto her but it was weak and hurt him. His body screamed of pain since he had something gouged out of him. But he had to stay awake and continue to move for her. He then nodded alittle bit and slowly opened it. "hopefully someone will help." he said softly. He could tell that his back had broken open again from destiny moving and felt blood running down his back. The thought of his wings gone hurt him, but it wouldn't compare if he Had lost destiny. Gently he kissed her neck, "If anything happens I will protect you." he said even thouh he could hardly move.

"N-No I'll be protecting you! You better not move, you better not fall asleep."Destiny demanded weakly and you could just hear it in her voice that she was also saying that to herself slightly at the end. She was able to get the front door herself and when it was open she went out and got as far as she could before her body gave out on her and Jace. She fell to the ground then started letting out whines and cries hoping that it would attract Kaze's attention since they were close to his house now. Her whines and cries were weak and soon she found her head becoming heaving and trying to lean down on her front paws but before that she shifted to normal and moved a bit so she was next to Jace feeling weak and helpless and hoped that Kaze or someone else that liked them would come out to help them.

Jace smirked when he heard her and nodded, "both of us aren't going to fall asleep." he said even though you could tell he wanted too. But hope rose in him when he felt sun on him but it slowly died when he felt desiny finally collapse. He should of guessed that would happen but smiled weakly when he fekt destiny next to him. Slowly he wrapped his arms around her. Hethoight he heard foot steps comming and then running towards them but he couldn't tell. He just held onto destiny tighter and whispered before passing out, "I will always protect you since I love you." and right before he was completely out he felt hands on them. Kazu had heard destiny and had come out of thr house. When he saw the two he had called for help and now they were quickly taking them to the village healer.

Destiny sobbed breathlessly when she heard him though managed to move so she could see who was coming and hope filled her when she saw Kaze. He was getting old though she knew him well since he came at least once a year to visit them. She then felt someone moving her and picking her up then saw someone else pick up Jace and slowly but reluctantly she let go of his hand before she passed out herself. She wasn't sure what happened after that though she could hear voices later on and she could feel heat next to her. She moved a slight bit to feel it was Jace and she leaned into him some. Kaze came into the room quickly when he heard word that the two were becoming conscious again and preyed they would both be akey.

Jace didn't wake up for a few more minutes but slowly his eyes opened. When he felt someone leaning against him he knew it was Destiny and he sighed with relief. She was okay and here with him, that was all that mattered to him now. Slowly he managed to wrap a arm around her and pull her close to him. His back hurt but less then before so he could deal with it. He then heard foot steps coming over to them and smiled when he saw Kaze. He wanted to hug that men forever for saving them but he doubt he would be able to even get up right now.

(sorry I took so long AND got his name wrong XP )

Destiny moved a bit as she felt Jace pull her closer and then heard Kazu walking into the room. She moved slightly to look over her shoulder at him and smiled some. "How do you two feel?" he asked softly and Destiny really had to think about this. Her whole body was in really bad pain though it was better and she felt better. "I'm okay... just really hurting... is Momma and Poppa here?" she asked and really wanted to see her parents and hoped that they were okay and weren't hurt or anything.

Jace held Destiny close and looked up when he heard Kazu. "I am better but I cant move much." he said softly and just relaxed more. Then fear hit him and he looked up at Kazu, "did you tell them yet? you have to go to them and warn them! they are going after all of us." he said and you could tell he didn't want the others to go threw this. He then looked at Destiny and smiled when he saw all the bandages and knew that she would be okay after a few days.

"Don't worry don't worry we took care of the men that were going after Dustan and the others. The only one that got hurt was Konran and she'll be okay after some rest and maybe some help from Baindo. I believe the others had came to the village outer ring though I'm not sure I haven't seen them yet. We can send someone out to get them if you wish?" Kazu asked softly and Destiny nodded slightly then leaned her head against Jace again closing her eyes a bit and wished that they could have avoided this though didn't care so long as they were now okay and safe and she was with Jace and her family was safe.

Jace sighed and relaxed when he heard him and then the urge to kill came to him. He wanted to kill the men who had done this to Destiny and him. They deserved it more then anything. Yet when he tried to moce he couldn't, he was still to weak. Slowly he nodded, "we would like that." he said softly as he brought Destiny closer to him. He doubted he would be able to survive all of this without her.

"Jace, don't worry the ones that hurt you two are already dead, we don't take lightly to that and the ones that are responsible are handled right away... it's actually one of my promises to Dustan before Destiny was born." Kazu told Jace softly then nodded and went off to get Dustan and Gesei quickly hoping they were either in the village or still outside of it and close. Destiny closed her eyes softly then opened them again as she looked up at Jace softly. She wanted him to hum to her some... she wasn't sure why but she did though she didn't really want to ask right now... she didn't want to really talk right now, she just wanted to be with Jace and to lean against him and knew everything would be okay.

Jace nodded when he heard Kazu and slowly he let himself relax. "good." he said softly and was glad that he didn't have to worry about them. Once he was gone he pulled Destiny closer to him and then looked into her eyes. He was glad he didn't have to lose her to them and never really wanted to. Slowly he found himself humming to her like before and whispering, "everything worked out, we are alive." gently he stroked her head a little bit and smiled at her.

Destiny smiled a bit as she heard him start to hum and slowly her eyes closed listening to him then she opened them again to look up at him and smiled some nodding a bit. "Yeah... I didn't doubt you for a minute." she smiled some giving him a small kiss on the lips then laid her head back on his chest softly and listened to his heart beet wondering if he was going to start humming again though didn't mind if he didn't want to.

"Dustan?" Kazu called as him and the new leader of the village went walking out of the village and looked around for Dustan and Gesei whom they were pretty sure would be in animal form probably stalking around the area waiting or something.

(which do you think works better for Gesei? I kinda like the tiger one X3 )

((I like the tiger since Dustans original form is a white tiger))

Jace smiled when he heard her and held her close. he then kissed her back and gently stroked her head, "I am glad that you didn't." he said to her softly and slowly he started to humm again. He closed his eyes and enjoyed being with her and humming her to softly. He never wanted to let her go now that he knew that she was going to be okay and just wanted to hold onto her forever.

Dustan was waiting outside of the village and was growling softly. He coudln't believe that this had happened and right now he just wanted to hold hid daughter in his arms and see that she was alive.

(yay XD yeah I liked that one because I could imagine her standing up in that one. Of course she does have the top though it depends on if she's in the full tiger form or just a normal tiger XP she's in the full tiger form right now so she has the top and a short pair of shorts on XP )

Destiny smiled some as she listened to Jace then yawned a little bit after a few minutes of listening to him hum softly to her. It wasn't hard for that to put her to sleep and she smiled in her sleep as she listened to him. She still needed to heal so she needed the sleep that his soothing brought upon her and she knew that he would agree.

Gesei was pacing back and forth behind Dustan on all fours growling some her tail flicking in irritation. She was worried about the two teenagers and especially her daughter and feared that something really REALLY bad had happened to them. She then heard someone in the distance walking from the village and her growling got a little bit louder as she waited for whomever it was that was fool enough to come out.

Kazu was worried about going out with the leader of the village so he told him while they were at a distance to stay back as he went to go talk to Dustan and Gesei. He saw the two not too far away and got even more worried at Gesei's angered pacing. Though he knew that the two would not attack him since they knew that he would never hurt any of them. Still he stopped a little ways away still a bit worried about the twos foul mood that he could tell they were in. He wasn't sure what to say at first so he kinda thought on it some and had a feeling Dustan would talk first anyway unless he growled at him.

((okay and just to say Dustan is in his tiger form))

Jace smiled when he felt her fall asleep next to him and knew that this was exactly what she needed. She needed to sleep so that her wounds could heal. Yet he knew all to well that even if he slept his wings would never come back, he would never get them back. The thought was sad but slowly he found he was falling asleep besides her and after a little bit he was snoreing softly besides her.

Dustan was trying to keep his calm and could feel Gesei pacing behind him. He wanted to join her but he knew that if he did he would lose his mind. But when he saw some people coming close he found that he already was. A deep growl came to him as his tail twitched more then ever. When he saw Kazu come towards him he leaped over at him. He soon stood infront of him and he growled deeply, "where are they?" he said simply.

Kazu stumbled back a step when Dustan pounced close to him though didn't hit him, he was grateful for that since he wasn't as strong as he once had been. "They are fine Dustan I swear to you that. They are resting in the healers house and I was coming to get you. They found they're way out of the house and the men that Konran hadn't already torn appart by the time we got to her were killed soon after. Konran's okay too she's injured though resting in the house also. I know you two are very mad right now though please hear me out once more, none of us knew about this at all, we didn't even know the two were close or that anyone had a conspiracy toward you. You know I love your family and I would never hurt any of you. I've had several people in the village sentenced to death just for having a part in what was going on." the elder said softly in a defensive tone though he could see Gesei behind Dustan still on all fours and her tail still swishing angrily. Of course she wasn't really angry at Kazu since she knew that he tried to protect their family though she was mad at the village for this though she would listen to reason if she thought it right to.
