Sorin smirked, 'Just because we are immortal doesn't mean that we don't bleed.'
Selene nodded, "I would rather not bleed all over my favorite dress...." |
"Then, if I am not mistaken," he said, clasping his hands behind his back professionally, "we have reached an agreement: If you both stop 'reading' me, or analyzing me, or whatever it is that you're doing to come to these conclusions, then I will keep the knives to myself and no one will have to bleed over anyone's favorite pretty dress. Do we have a deal?"
|
She began to hold back her tears as she watched Hans climb off into the trees. She thought it was a sweet gesture, but something clicked. She heard him say, "I'm going to get her an orange." Almost as if she wasn't listening. Not only that, but his mouth didn't move as he said it. Her body crawled with goosebumps as she shivered to the fact that she might be some sort of freak, which produced more tears to well up into her Dichromatic eyes. She began to sob once more and whispered to herself, "I'm a freak." And fell to her knees as she attempted to use her tears to wash the blood off her hands.
|
Hans came back with a couple of oranges and found his new friend on the ground again. He jumped back down from the tree, sat cross-legged again, and held out the fruit. "Don't cry, don't cry," he said. "Look, I brought you a delicious fruit!"
|
She wiped the tears from her eyes and pushed back her bloodied blonde hair from her face. "Thank you." She reached out for the fruit when she noticed it started to float, she quickly retracts her arm and watches the fruit fall to the floor. "Did you... see that?"
[[By the way, can you write your characters thoughts so I can read them???]] |
((Hans is usually pretty straightforward with thoughts and actions, but if it will make it easier for you I can try to layer it better.))
Hans blinked, unsure of what to make of it. "NEAT," he exclaimed once he came to a conclusion about his feelings. He picked up the orange and tossed it into the air. I didn't know oranges could float, he thought. He tried to make it float, but it landed with a thud on the ground. Maybe it got tired, he thought. He picked up the orange and handed it back to her. "Careful," he said. "I think this orange is haunted." He took a closer look at her and noticed the amount of blood on her... everywhere. He tilted his head, ignoring his usual impulses. "You've got blood on you," he stated. |
"You really think that orange can float?" She looks up at him with a slight smirk, she shook her head and said, "Um, yeah, I think I hit my head over there." She pointed to the dry spot of blood on the dirt patch sitting in the now setting sun. "Um... I'll clean myself up over at the lake first. Okay?" She got up and walked over to the clear water. She dipped her whole head into the water and swiftly brushed her hair with her hands, splish, splish, splish. She flings her head up and gasps for the air she had lost underwater. Her hair swiftly, but smoothly flies over the top of her head and into place as shiny droplets of water fling in every which way. She looks over her shoulder towards Hans.
"So, do I still have blood on me?" She said innocently. |
Hans' jaw went a little slack. There was an aesthetic about the entire performance that he could not quite pinpoint. Very few thoughts were going through his mind at this moment, but the only one he could feasibly catch was: wow.
He shook his head to bring himself back to earth. "Uh... uh... no," he said. "Nope, nope, nope... no blood anymore. All gone..." |
"Um... did you just say wow?" She had a confused twist about her face and a slight blush on her face as she tilted her head oh, so slightly, but still enough for some of her hair to dangle from behind her ear forward across her face.
|
"Um... no," he said, turning a shade of pink. He knew that he had at least thought so... OOO! Maybe she's a mind-reader, he thought. He'd met some strange people, but he'd never met one that could read his thoughts. The idea was silly and strange.
He waded halfway into the water and put his face two inches from hers. What am I thinking right now, he thought. The answer is pickle relish. |
She blushed a bright red and turned away, she hadn't realized that he hadn't moved his lips. "This is stupid, I'm not going to entertain your thoughts any farther than it has. And besides it won't do you any good telling me the answer!" She got up and swept her hair back with her cold and wet hands, her white top was all wet, so she pulled her jacket over her top as to not have him start thinking of OTHER things she wouldn't want to hear him think.
|
((I apologize for any late replies. I have six people to make dinner for. ^^'))
"A-HA!" Hans exclaimed, jumping out of the water and back down again. "I didn't even say anything about an answer. You are a Fallen Star!" He giggled delightedly. "Finally, someone like me!" He made a very childish face, like a toddler who has figured out a puzzle. |
She lets out an exaggerated scoff, and her posture changes from a normal stance to a more 'I'm annoyed' kind of stance, with her arms crossed, her head lowered slightly, her eyes fixated onto his, and her brows denting in towards the center of her pale-ish face. She turns away from him once more, "I am not a freak if that is what you are implying, I am a normal human being just like y..." She stops mid-sentence and her heart practically pounces as she falls to her knees. A shrill high-pitched noise drills her mind as a memory suddenly rushes back to her. She is sweating, and breathing heavily, almost as if she had just ran a marathon. "Ooohh... my head... That really hurt." She stood back up and wiped of the sweat from her brow as she looks over to Hans in confusion.
|
Hans stood very still, unsure entirely of what to do. One minute she was, through the transitive property, calling him a freak, and then the next she was on the ground again, looking as if she might have seized. He immediately dropped to the floor as well. "Miss, Miss! Are you okay?"
|
"Chemicals... were poured into me. I felt like I was there all over again. I was human. I ws normal, but they made me different." She once again had began to cry and she quickly grabbed hold of Hans and began to cry on his shoulder. It was the only thing she could do for reliving an experience she had now regretted remembering. The tubes of green acid-like fluids burning into her veins peircing her mind and shredding her heart. All she could do was cry, until the burning images have subsided. She continued to cry, and eventually grew weary and fell asleep crying on his shoulder.
|
Oh, he thought. She's not a Fallen Star. He was disappointed, but his disappointment was overcome with concern. That seemed like quite an ordeal for one person to go through. He came closer to her and spread his arms open wide. "I can't say I can relate," he said. "But hugs make everything better?"

Selene remained quiet until she saw a couple of people up ahead, "I think I found them!" |
Evolithia's eyes were shut in sleep in Hans arms, her hair still wet from having washed off the blood with the water from the lake layed upon Hans shoulder and left his arm damp. Evolithia seemed so peaceful, like all her cares had diminished to nothing. A peace that would cause you to cry, for you have never seen anything like it or even had come close to it. Her heart had regained it's original beat, boom-boom-boom, boom-boom...boom... boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom. Her breathing stayed at a steady pace, and her eyes had relaxed; her pores had stopped leaking it's sweat, and her nerves ws not causing her body to shake like it once was. All it was, was peace. A beautiful, comfortable, wanted, peace.
[[I'm tired and I have school tomorrow morning. g'night guys.]] |
(( wow you guys went very fast lol I'll try to make up for my absence! ))
Breeze had followed Hans to the lake where he found the girl. The woman looked like she was in a horrible state and since she didn't want to scare her more than Hans did, she stayed away from the two. Once the girl fell asleep in Hans arms, Breeze floated over while giggling. "Need some help Hans?" she smirked at his confused innocent face, "I can lift her with my winds and set her on the shore, unless you want to prove your manliness and take her yourself..." ------------------------- Flame had watched the little argument, that had happened between the immortals and the human, with amusement. Times like these made him happy that he didn't bleed or couldn't be touched by objects. Less to worry about after all. 'No wonder Breeze and I get such amusement out of people with flesh and blood,' he thought to himself with a smirk, 'They worry about things all the time and have many conflicts.' He leisurely followed the immortal's leads and saw a guy sitting in the water with a female hugging him. If this guy was the other guy's friend that they were looking for, Flame could see why he left him since the girl hugging him looked to be quite beautiful. They must of needed some alone time from that freak of a human. He looked up above the couple and his eyes widened in surprise as a smile erupted on his face. "Breeze!" |
((Yeah, sorry... people showed up and I got a little carried away. ^^;;))
Hans may have become a permanent shade of red as the girl fell asleep in his arms. That had to be the first time someone had ever done that, and it didn't help that she looked and acted very much like his first love. He bit his lip, wondering if she could hear what he was thinking now. He began to answer Breeze... As Grizzly came upon the scene, he could simply not believe it. Simply couldn't believe it: the delusional illusionists had actually done something right. They had led him right to his mark. As his traveling party moved forward, he hung back, hoping that they would not be alarmed as he reached for and cocked his gun. He aimed, and fired. BANG! Hans heard it. How could he avoid hearing it: it had been aimed at him. The bullet whizzed just past his ear. It was safe to assume now that he had been startled out of his reverie. "Breeze! Take the girl! Take her somewhere safe!" He couldn't carry her and run for his life at the same time: there was a high chance that neither of them would have come out alive. He dropped the girl in the water, trusting that Breeze would know what to do, and immediately jumped up into the trees, hoping they would provide a suitable cover. |
Sorin couldn't believe his eyes..... This man was a hunter and people like him were his pray.... He growled and shifted into his largest wolf form. It was a good one hundred stories high. Not bad for a mere wolf pup. Yes, indeed Sorin was still just a pup in many ways. He was still a growing boy even though he was now eighteen.
'I should've known better than to trust a mortal!' He sent to Grizzly. Selene gasped in shock, "I knew he was unpleasant but I didn't think he was evil!" |
Unperturbed by the illusion of a giant wolf, eyes on his target, he took aim in the tree that the convict had taken shelter in and fired again. BANG, whiz, flit as the bullet missed again. "Damn trees... never did anyone a bit of good," he mumbled. He took a few steps forward to see if he could catch him as he moved.
"Before you all go flying off the handle," he said to his traveling party. "You should learn the difference between good and evil." He aimed again. BANG, whiz, flit: another miss. He only had three bullets left, but that was what knives were for. "You think," he continued to his traveling party, "that because I hold the gun that I am 'evil.' Pah! What you fail to see is that the man I am shooting at is a wanted criminal, an escaped mental patient. He's killed half a dozen people just for jollies. "But because I hold the gun, because I hold his life in my hands... that makes me evil. Of course, of course." BANG! whiz, flit. "Damnit all to hell, he keeps moving." |
Sorin growled, 'Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you.... HE may not be innocent but what of those women?!'
"It doesn't matter to him. He's just a heartless narrow minded human.....," Selene said, sadly. |
"You'll notice that I'm not aiming for the women," he said, gritting his teeth. "They are in the lake. My mark is in the tree. It takes a much less-skilled marksman than I to hit that far off." Bang, whiz, flit. Damnit... only one bullet left. This distance is a waste. He began walking towards the tree that Hans had scampered off into, in a shocking calm. "If you kill me," he said in answer to the 'wolf,' "then you'll have left the world to a feeble-minded murderer. You oughtn't berate me for being human, girl. Its humans who run this world: no one else. It would do you well not to take us at face value."
|
Breeze was shocked when the gun went off and a bullet whizzed past Hans ear. She didn't have time to react right away when Hans jumped up and ran after telling her to take the girl somewhere safe. Even though she was concerned about Hans, she fulfilled his wishes and gently lifted the girl from the water with her winds and carried her over to the shore. She laid her by a tree. She was about to go after Hans and protect him from the shooter that was chasing after him when she heard the voice of someone she had been missing for many months.
"Yo." Breeze turned with excitement towards the sound to find Flame leaning by a tree with a smirk on his face. "Flame!" She exclaimed as she floated to him and grabbed him around the neck in a hug. Flame hugged her back with a serene smile on his face. They were so wrapped up in their reunion that they weren't even paying attention to the chaos happening around them. (( Even though they can't touch real things, they can touch each other just fine because they exist on a different level then flesh and blood people :) )) |
