Ehl watched as Ameika hid from him, smiling slightly. "I really didn't mean it," he said softly, standing and stuffing his hands into his pockets. Glancing to Helga, who he smiled at with an expression that carried much amusement, the youth shook his head. She was just mad at him for hurting her, and scared that he wanted to do something again. "I promise I won't hurt you again."
Before the girl could respond, Vyr appeared once again. Even with his easy-going nature and lack of aggression toward others, Ehl bristled. Something about the drow just rubbed him wrong, making him uneasy around the newborn. And it wasn't just the fact that he was new to the vampire world, but something else - his thoughts were clear now, and he was actually trying to make amends with Ameika. Taking a step back, Ehl watched to see how he fared . . . after all, they both hadn't meant anything by their actions - or so he said. - Esmme sighed, and moved toward Auda. "Hold still," she said quietly, using her loose black sleeve to wipe away the blood as best she could. She tore the end of her shirt, making it just a bit shorter, in order to tie it as best she could about the wolf's large head. "Think you'll make it?" she asked in a lighthearted tone, blue eyes flickering down the hall to the den as she scented Vyr once again. "It seems like a grievous wound." Of course she was kidding, but she enjoyed such playful bantering with her clan-mates. Perhaps it would be like this for the others as well, once things settled down a bit. Her gaze then moved to Aida, and she smiled a bit. "Have you had your drink yet, dear?" - ((You did see my earlier post for you, didn't you Ember? :XD)) |
((Last post was him holding out his hand... she took it... I replied on page 6))
|
((Hmm. I must have missed it. -_-' That's terrible. Sorry! I'll go read it and reply now. :XD Poor you, just sitting here with no connections . . . :XD Grawr, I'll edit his post when I have it.
Here we go. :sweat:)) Kej watched Lizz for a few moments, sighing quietly. "For now, we need to move as quickly as we can. There is only so much night left for us to travel." His gray eyes filled with pity. "If you have no objections, I would like to take you to my den." He shook his head. That didn't come out quite how he wanted it to. "I have a family who would enjoy your company, Miss . . .?" The elf trailed off then, raising an eyebrow. Slowly stepping toward the alley's entrance, he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze while leading her out into the street. They were soon near the edge of town, headed out into the wilds and toward the forests. It would take the remainder of the night, and then a few more nights, to get back to the Cullyn home, but it was worth it. |
Helga was about to get up and see exactly how things had turned out. Ehl was a good guy, and she knew that Ameika could be left with him, most certainly. It was just that Ameika did not, and as Helga was rising, the girl clutched her again, bringing her back to a sitting position.
"I. . .," she started, staring at Ehl. "I . . . vill not leave you." Despite these words, she sounded uncertain. Helga was fine with comforting people who were a bit more mature, but when someone she hardly knew seemed to stake so much on her being there. . . well, Helga worried she'd mess up somehow. Soon the newborn was hovering over them as well; checking up on the girl. But the girl seemed no less upset. Giving Ehl a half smile and Vyr a nod, she began to mimic what she had seen Esmme do. To Helga, Esmme could do almost anything, even be a mother to the motherless, so she played auntie and stroked the girl's hair like their clan leader had. As Helga began to feel a bit more "at home" in this auntie role, she noticed a streak of blood on a cushion near Ameika. "Ameika, are - are you hurt?" *** Adia nodded. Apparently, this clan was nothing like any she had heard of. So maybe they weren't bathed in luxurious fabrics, drank from bottles, and didn't have any waiting staff, but. . . yes, she would consider this second chance. Hadn't she always wanted to be capable of more than bookish knowledge? Maybe she could be. Soon, she became absorbed in watching the leader as she continued to surprise her in her interactions with her clan members. They were playful and . . . caring. The bloodcurdling tales she was brought up on seemed completely untrue in this case. Esmme's soft question shocked her momentarily. Adia had completely forgotten that she was holding a bottle. "Oh! No, no. I'll . . . thank you," she stammered rushing off to the kitchen to pour herself that glass of blood. |
awww mistress, thank you but u didn't need to do that. im just gonna lay here and die in peace hahaha he says in a playful tone, knowing she will see the humor in it.
|
Vyr watched as the girl retreated from him understanding he had failed, but the effort had been put in now he would allow time to take its hold on the situation. Turning around and peering at Ehl as he felt the male's gaze on his back, the black elf stood to his feet and finally turned fully to face his older "brother" he assumed, "You seem tense. Why?" His words were blunt, but held no malice in them and similarly his eyes were seemingly cold but not harsh, and there was a certain element to them that was not readily identifiable. As Vyr stood there, extremely relaxed and poised, as he waited patiently to see how his elder would respond.
|
Lizz smiled nervously as he spoke of bring her to his den then let out a breath of air when he added more. She followed him silently, until they reached the edge of the forest then froze. "Pi..p..pitro told me never to leave the city...." She said in a low scared voice.
|
"Hurt?" Ameika said as she cocked her head to the side, she popped out from under the blanket and pulled her shirt off, falling backwards as she searched over her self for any wounds she might have gotten. She found it, a long gash on the back of her leg, she quickly tugged her shirt back on and hugged Helga once more. "Auntie Helga!!!! The meanies gave me a boo boo!!!! SEE?!?!?!" she cried as she turnned her leg to point it out to her, still holding on to her as her ears drooped and her tail wrapped around her leg, still avoiding the two men that had been either protective or just plan angry at her help.

((Elder. THat's just weird. :XD Ehl's like . . . the youngest out of all of them. :lol:))
Kej paused, slowing his step. "Did he ever say why?" he asked, keeping hold of the girl's hand. Frowning a bit, the vampire shook his head. "There's nothing to be frightened of. Not around here." His gray eyes flickered over the not-so-distant outside of the city, and the elf tilted his head questioningly. "Perhaps he merely wanted to keep you from leaving?" - When Aida moved to pour herself a glass of blood, Esmme stood, patting Auda's flank before moving into the kitchen. "Care if I join you?" she asked, giving the girl a smile. She retrieved her own glass, and extended a hand with a questioning expression. "Or should I get my own as well?" - Meeting Vyr's gaze, Ehl merely smiled grimly. "I didn't mean to give off that impression," he said stiffly, turning his eyes to the kitsune once again. The readings he was getting off of the newborn were logic - thoughts of Ameika, questioning about himself - and, of course, the readjustments that the drow was having to make during every moment of his continued existence. It was then that guilt slowly encroached on him, and the teen sighed. Bringing his crimson gaze back up to meet the silver eyes of the new clan member, Ehl extended a pale hand. "Ehl," he introduced himself brusquely, a small uncertain smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. Instead of introducing his ability to the newcomer slowly, he just blurted it out . . . tactfully, of course (:sarcasm:). "I read minds." Of course, it was then that Ameika began to search herself for any scratches, and the thoughts tumbling through her mind made Ehl smile. His gaze flickered to her, and then back up to Vyr as she found a cut - they would never hear the end of this. |
"H..h..he said that there were things in there that could....." She said gulping and biting her lip. "T..t..t.t....that could kill me." She finished looking over at him with evident fear in her light blue eyes. In truth, Pitro had told her not to leave the city, because he did not want another vampire coven to find his Beloved Lizz and steal her from him.
|
(:lol: he's older than Vyr as a vampire so elder "fits" if only in the way I used it haha)
Vyr listened silently as the vampire tried to make a case for himself although it seemed he still he was uneasy with his presence. As the Ehl introduced his self and in turn explained that he could read minds, Vyr immediately thought about if he too had a special ability unique only to him. But he quickly shoved the idea to the back of his head and took the elf's hand, "Vyr." Hearing that the kitsune had found a wound on her body only gave the male a slight amount of grief, she seemed to be capable of holding a grudge so maybe he would never make amends with her? If that was the way it worked, so be it. Looking back to Ehl the drow commented, "I won't attack you again, so if that is still on your mind then you can rest easy." Does he fear me? He hadn't meant it in a disrespectful way it just seemed that Ehl didn't understand how strong he actually was, if that was the case. |
((okay this is loads of fun lol and well....sorry if anyone is having problems with ameika but it is just how i created her lol oh and she is five feet even and growing....slowly lol well goodnight guys oh and es said she was getting off for the night also :) ))
|
((I don't have any problems with Ameika, LOL. She's cute. Helga's just trying to get her mind wrapped around her new "auntie" roll. And yes, this is fun. ^_^
I need to log off as well - it's 3:30 here, lol. Night!)) Ameika's wound was not life threatening, Helga knew that much and at least rested in the fact that the girl would not perish tonight. "Ik vill be okay, I promise," Helga said, petting her head again. "Let's see if ve can find some bandages, yes? Now, you vill have to let go of me so I can get dem." Though the cut wasn't bad, walking would still encourage blood flow, making the wound bleed more. Helga learned that the hard way once when she was younger. It hadn't ended badly, but seeing how the girl was already frantic, she didn't want to scare her by asking her to walk with her, which would only lead to an even bloodier appearance. *** Adia smiled at the leader. "No, of course," she said, pouring some blood into her glass. After a pause, she said, "I'm sorry, if I come off as. . . " she couldn't think of the word, but she knew that she was different from the others somehow and that they must have noticed it somehow, "if I come off as . . . . misanthropic? This is just a much more social occasion than I'm used to." She took a sip of the blood and watched the leader closely. |
Kej smiled slightly, tightening his grip on Lizz's hand. "I won't let anything hurt you." Pulling her gently after him, the elf continued forward. "You will be safe. And you will have a chance to change things in your life." The den will ensure that.
Glancing back to the city, the elf frowned. "Do you need anything before we leave?" - When Vyr spoke of withholding from battle, Ehl smiled tightly. He'd been following the newborn's thoughts as he pondered about abilities, but said nothing. Instead, he nodded, and turned his gaze away. "I don't fear you," he said as though defending himself, his red eyes narrowing as he looked toward Ameika. I just sense something . . . off. Obviously seeing no other reason to continue the conversation, Ehl moved forward, away from Vyr and toward the kitsune. "Ameika?" he knelt, keeping his distance. "What food do you usually eat?" May as well make myself useful. - Esmme looked slightly distracted as she kept an eye on the rest of the clan, but smiled at Adia's halting apology. "I apologize if we come off as . . ." she paused, thinking, "overwhelming." Pouring herself a drink, she sipped at it, leaning against the counter. Blue eyes followed Helga as she went in search of bandages (for they didn't have many, but they could be made), and the elf sighed quietly to herself as the scent of Ameika's blood filled the den. Temptation. |
((yay!!!! lol *huggles everyone*))
“Will you come back?” Ameika asked Helga, letting the woman go so that she could go and get the bandages, it was rather reluctantly on her part but she did it none the less. She wrapped the blanket around her and shrunken into it, trying hard not to be seen since she didn’t have her Auntie with her and her Mommie was in the kitchen at the moment. The Ehl spoke to her, she didn’t question how they knew her name, it was just something she accepted none the less, her dull green eyes looked at him, trying to figure out if he was going to hurt her again or not. “You gave me a boo boo…..that makes you a big green meany.” she said to the man as she stuck her tongue out at him and buried her self deeper into the blanket, unconsciously sliding closer to the fire. Her dull green eyes were the only thing to be seen as she looked out of the darkness the blank gave towards the people around her. “I don‘t usually eat….” she whispered to him in answer to his question, and she wasn’t lying, she was an orphan that lived on her own, eating what ever was fresh and that she could find, sometimes she went weeks with out eating. “Are….is everyone here my family now……” she whispered, it was clear in her voice that she was about to cry now, they gave her a feeling of family so it was easy for her to feel part of it but she also knew that if they didn’t want her that she would be on her own once more and that thought just made her cry again. |
Keeping a clear mind so not to allow Ehl to read it, it was hard for Vyr to not be satisfied that he had fallen for his mental question. It was apparent that he was constantly able to read minds or either always in the head of the one he was interacting with. To be honest it somewhat baffled the drow that he didn't use that ability in battle, which meant it had to take a bit of concentration to use it. It was a simple analysis that was based off of simple observation, whether or not it was true would only be revealed in time. Turning around and walking towards the area where Esmme and the other female was he gave them both a polite nod of acknowledgement then softly asked, "May I join you ladies?" Not that he was hungry but they seemed to be a little less on edge than the vast majority of the other members of the den.

Lizz looked up at him and bit her lip as she walked past the invisible barrier between the city and the forest and stood looking back at the forest. "When Pitro was murdered.... they burnt everything... All I have left are the clothes on my back... and his necklace.." She said in a sad whispered as she closed her eyes and flinched. She was reliving the night it happened. Waking up to the sound of screaming and the smell of burning flesh, rushing out of the house as Pitro yelled that he was right behind her. Her face hitting the cool snow as she fell down the stairs of the old Mansion. Looking up at her home burning to the ground with the love of her life inside.

I'm bored Auda says, as he begins to get up off the piece of floor he's been laying on. I'm gonna go take a nap on Kej's bed He says with a big smile on his face. Then he begins walking to Kej's bed
|
((lol, Auda. :P What a silly pup.))
Kej frowned, pulling Lizz closer to him as they walked. He could offer comfort, but it always looked as though he was trying to get on someone's good side - so he merely stayed silent. "I'm sorry." The two of them continued on for a long while, and after walking for a few more minutes the elf smiled down at the girl. "How fast can you run?" he asked, glancing toward the horizon. - The pale youth heard Vyr's mind shut him out - it drew to a blank that could not be read. Ehl smiled slightly, shaking his head. Alright, I will keep myself out of his thoughts. He then turned his attention back to listening to Ameika, frowning a bit. He let her speak, and then tilted his head in question. "You might not eat often," he said slowly, glancing toward the kitchen, "but if you want to eat, I need to know what you want. I can go get you some." He knew she didn't trust him, but that was alright. Judging by her childish character, it would only be a matter of time. "Do you want fruit? Meat?" He paused. Ehl hadn't been near his hometown since he'd been changed over two years past, and for good reasons. Large populations (which he wasn't allowed near) meant an overwhelming amount of thought life, and a huge amount of blood - both of which Ehl had avoided like the plague. It was strange having the kitsune here, and her blood- It was then that he really caught scent of her wound. Ehl scrambled to his feet, his red eyes darkening a bit as he did so. Trying to shake himself of the temptation that suddenly called to him, the youth shuddered, turning away from the young girl. "So what would you like?" he asked in a voice husky with the urge to feed. - Esmme chuckled as she sipped at her glass, and her blue eyes followed Vyr as he approached. "You may, Vyr." The clan leader motioned toward the cupboard where they kept their stash, and then to the bottle that both Adia and herself had been sharing. She had seen the meeting between the drow and Ehl, and smiled inwardly at the way it had gone. How strange. Ehl wasn't rude to anyone - not that she'd seen, anyway. Perhaps it was the clash between personalities? Sipping from her glass once again, the dark-haired elf smiled at her new clan members. "Adia, Vyr, tell me a bit about your lives. I am eager to hear more about you both." |
"Fruit....Mommie gave me fruit. It tastied fun but i not hungry anymore." Ameika said to him as she poked her nose out of the darkness the blanket made, keeping her eyes on him just in case he tried something else. "I like.....anything fresh." she said to him as she nodded her head vigoriously causing the blanket to fall off of her head, her ears twitching towards any sound that was made, all thoughts of him being a meany were gone as they were replaced by thoughts on if this was now her home or not and if this was really going to be her family or if it was temperary before they kick her out and she was orphaned once more.
|
Lizz grinned and let go of his hand. "Pitro said I was the fastest he'd ever seen." she said blushing a bit but still grinning.
((Sorry so short, I have a hole in my finger the size of a piece of rice)) |
