((Ameika remember that you cant actually die... Your a vamp lol
Wavikz told me to tell you that.))

"That is impossible......i can't kill not even my self if i could i would. Besides you wouldn't keep your word because once i am dead....there is nothing stopping you from leaving her like she is." she whispered up to him after she had gotten her wind back from when he knocked it out of her. He was asking for her to do something that she could not do, something that was completely impossible for her. If she could kill her self, she would do it just so her friend could be back to the way she was. She saw that she seemed to have made this man angry even though he told her he was emotionless, she couldn't help but reach up and touch some of his hair.

((i remember but Lyna doesn't know she is lol plus she is all emotional and if she does get hurt her powers would just heal her cause they are going hay wire right now lol))

Caedis grabbed her wrist to keep her hand away from him, "You are insulting me with this much physical contact. And it is not my fault you can not die, that is simply my deal. Find a way to kill yourself and the other human gets her mind back, should I be able to find it."

"You bastard." Torrence wasnt going to move this time. She couldnt protect Lyna from physical contact. She couldnt touch Caedis who was fully materialized on the other side too. "Please leave her alone. Just leave her be. Tell her ill be fine just so she gets off your back. Just dont hurt her." She came up to Caedis trying to plead for Lyna. Plead for her life to be spared. "You have me. Just dont hurt her."

"Kill me your self......see i found away to die." she whispered to him, she didn't bother struggling to get out of his grip, that would be fighting and she doesn't fight. She met his icey gaze with her own warm gaze, she wasn't going to give up even though on the inside she was crying her eyes out pleading for Zero to come and save her. Her eyes were maybe the only things that were giving her away, but she wasn't going to back down.

Eleanor had grown irritated with herself and the selfloathing, if you wish to call it that. "He's not coming after me so why give him the chance?" She asked herself as she stood up. Taking a deep breath she looked around, there were lights nearby. Lights mean civilization, she thought as she began walking in that direction. She had an issue with branches and whatnot every now and again but nothing that really pulled herself from her numb state. The city was closer than she thought it was seeing as she only made it in a few minutes, but once she got there she froze.

Caedis was there, and so was Zero's girl, oh geez what was her name? Lyna, that was it, at least she remembered hearing the name at one point or another. A heap in the distance caught her eye as she saw Torrence's body. Her gaze became a glare as it fell upon Caedis and the girl he was holding by her wrist. She felt a warm sensation pulse through her as her tattoos unknowingly began to appear. He hands balled themselves into fists as she stalked over to the group. "Causing trouble again are we Caedis?" She asked, her tone becoming dangerous. Her steele gaze was upon the Talin male as a smirk formed. She was going to toy with him.

Eleanor was no longer herself, those that knew her could see this plain as day, but those that didn't know her would just think she was cocky or getting too big for her britches. "You want a fight? Then why don't you fight me, or are you too weak to take down 2 fight worthy humans?" Her gaze then quickly flashed to Lyna as she said, "No offense." Then looking back at Caedis her right arm became a blade, her left a sheild. "Come on tough guy, show me what you got." She was taunting him, standing in a battle ready position.

Caedis glanced at Torrence, that look in his eyes said he was messing with her as much as he was with Lyna. He looked back at Lyna, "I would, but where's-" he cut off as Eleanor appeared, somewhat irritably his gaze settled upon the new arrival, "Excuse me, it is exceedingly rude to interrupt someone in the middle of their speech." he scolded, "You do realize that fighting me will not bring back your foolish friend, don't you? Not to mention, should the laughable matter of you killing me come up, that would only seal her fate."

"What the hell?! is this a party or something? Geezus." Torrence was thoroughly pissed off. Caedis had given her the look she knew he would. This was more to torture her in the state she was in rather than just torturing the others. She might as well have been trying uselessly to get back into her body while the other fight him off for the very same reason. She looked at him again after looking irritably between the two others that were there.

"Ok... OK you win.... You WIN!!!" Her protective instincts were taking over. If her friends tried to kill Caedis, she would die with him. Thats what she thought anyways. It was his magic that had brought her to where she was now and it was tormenting her just watching as her friends tried desperately to get her back.

Torrence wanted so badly to tell her friends that she was ok. That she would be fine. That she wasnt dead. It was killing her how her friends were trying so hard to defend her unknowingly causing her pain in this tormented state. Eleanor had walked straight through her when she walked up to Caedis ready to fight. It was getting harder to fight him knowing that he could use physical attacks on them and they would pass right through her.

"Please just stop.... Ill do anything.... anything" She leaned up against the wall with her head down, next to the man. Her words were getting quieter as she spoke. He was torturing her and she knew it. He actually did win this time. Eleanor was now in the fight that started with her and he would try to hurt her too. She didnt want any of it. She didnt want any of this to happen. It was only happening because she had taken a walk away from Rroy. Because she was careless and got caught in a dome. Because she was alone. Because she was powerless to stop the man from taking her mind. Now she was powerless to stop the man from hurting her friends. If he used anything that dealt with the shadows she could stop it but she couldnt stop him from breaking her.

Thats what was happening now. He was breaking her. Breaking her in a different way than Varun had done. Or Damian. Or even Rroy. She thought she was always the tough one. The one that wouldnt break even under so much torture. She thought that she was unbreakable because she had survived so much already. From losing her family to losing Damian and Rroy, then Varun only for Rroy to come back. Now she had to watch in the shadows, literally, while a man started to torture her friends at the same time as torturing her. It made her realize that she wasnt invincible. She was breaking. She had always been broken. She leaned her head against the wall and just looked up at the sky.

Chris had finished scrubbing himself and coming to terms with what him and Eleanor had done, he was secretly wishing it was him and Nieko but he wasn’t going to tell her that or let on that, that was what he was thinking. He got out of the shower, turning off the shower and drying himself off, he picked up the pair of pants that Nieko had tried on and pulled them on him self. He looked around for Eleanor, sighing heavily when he couldn’t find her in his house. He started to search for her, franticly, he needed to talk to her, he needed to figure out everything that had happened between them, he needed to find out where Nieko stands between them.

----------

Lyna looked over at Eleanor when Caedis acknowledge her, she looked back up at Caedis as she tried to think of something. “What if she kills me instead? Wouldn‘t it be fun then? To see me die by the hands of my friend?” She said to him, it was be coming obvious she wasn’t going to give up on fixing Torrence, she didn’t want to die unless she knew Zero was dead but if it saves someone then she will do it. She wasn't fighting him, but if people didn't know what was going on before they arrived it would have looked like, Lyna was planning her death, basically committing suicide.

((FYI, Zero's not gonna die. If he were gonna, Rroy, Nieko, or Melik would save him. So yeah, Zero will be back. :)))

((i know hun but Lyna doesn't know that))

((Oh, she should be smart enough to figure that out. Rroy would never let anything bad happen to his son. D'awwww, cute father x son moment. XD))

((Very true lol yea it would be a very cute father x son moment.....hhhmmmm but who said she was being smart right now? lol))

Eleanor faultered slightly when Caedis said that Torrence wasn't dead, well not those words exactly but he spoke as if she were still alive. The Lyna said something about how she could kill her instead, what was she going on about, what she daff? Her nearly black eyes flicked from the smaller girl back to the male, she wasn't enjoying the playing around like this.

"So what interest would you have in my dear Torrence? Hmm?" She asked as she began pacing around Caedis. She had no intention of killing Lyna and if the male was telling the truth about not being able to bring Torrence back then she would see what she could manage. "Were you jealous of her little Rroy? So sad taht you cannot experience the same emotions as he or other beings that walk this planet?"

Eleanor's blade then lowered to the ground, the tip scraping across the surface. She watched it for a moment as she walked saying, "You know, many say that emotions are a weakness, but where is the strength when there is nothing to defend aganist?" She then looked back at him, her eyes teasing. She would make her own game of this.

Caedis watched Torrence from the corner of his eye. He was curious, more than anything about what it was like for someone to break down. He had seen many emotional responses, he had studied them for so long but this was something new, something fascinating to observe.

Turning his attention back towards Lyna for a moment, he gave her a smile, "I don't really care how you die, as long as you no longer waste the little piece of world you take up." he stated crudely, "Just look at yourself. What sort of creature is really so useless that they can not even help someone they care for? You breathe air that is more worthy of another, you suck the breath of life all around you. Defenseless and weak, that is all you are and all you will ever be. Self sacrifice is the only redeemable quality you may be able to take with you to the grave."

Caedis turned back towards Eleanor, "and you. How many have you lost? How many hearts have you broken and how many times has yours been shattered in return? Don't you think that after so much pain and confusion, it's time to start wonderring if it isn't them, but you who is the problem? You are trying so hard to break the cycle of being that little girl who needs rescuing, when in truth all you are doing is covering her up. Go on, hide behind your markings, find your false hope that everything will get better and fight me like the animal you have become. You aren't even worth calling human anymore, for clearly you have lost your humanity."

A growl escaped Eleanor's lips proving Caedis' point even though it was still human sounding rather than animal. She was tired of people seeing her like that, that was true. She was also tired of people thinking things about her when they didn't even know her. They never seemed to give her a chance to defend herself. Her eyes narrowed as her body lowered to the ground just before lunging at Caedis.

Eleanor had cocked her bladed arm back and a couple steps into her lunge she thrust it towards the male. Though her eyes were open, they were wild, watching her target. When her blade came in contact with flesh, a crazed smile came to her face as she looked to the end of it. It wasn't Caedis she had gotten though. No, Lyna had jumped infront of her, was he protecting the guy? The sadistic happiness wiped itself from Eleanor's face as a rage took over.

Her wild, angry eyes snapped up to the male as she hissed, "This is your fault." Lyna's body fell from her blade and as soon as it hit the ground her current weapons were replaced by her clawed arms. With a loud yell she lunged at the male again, her left clawed arm cocked back and poised to strike.

“Than take care of me your self…..if I am such a waste, at least then you will know I am dead. Eleanor, you should take Torrence and go….” Lyna said as she was starting to lose her nerve, her raw emotions be coming even more evident then what they were, she closed her eyes a few moments so she could hold back her tears better. Ceadis still had a hold of her and there was nothing she could do to him, she breathed in deeply and watched what he was doing, she stepped closer to him, drawing his attention back to her. She always believed that everything was balanced and she guessed that she was here to balance out this man before her, this man who was pure evil. “Everything you say about me maybe true, but I believe that everything is balanced. You….you seem to be pure evil, wanting to kill everything…and I well I am the complete opposite of you. As long as I am alive your evil will be balanced out by me and my kindness.” she spoke to him, then she saw that Eleanor was about to stab Caedis, this was something she couldn’t let happen, it wasn’t in her character to stand by and let people get hurt. She moved in front of Caedis, taking the blade into her gut, she gave a weak smile, to her it was ironic and at least now Torrence will get her mind back. The blade was no gone from her, causing her to fall to the ground, as if she were dead, she wasn’t even breathing and her eyes went to a muddy brown color. For those that didn’t know she wasn’t really dead, but appeared dead, she was a vampire since that is what Zero made her when she was actually dying.

Caedis cocked his head as Lyna stepped in front of Eleanor's blade. He watched her fall and then turned his gaze to the girl that was attacking him once again. Raising his hands, he created a pair of blades made from shadows, bringing them up to block her attack. Thrusting forward the blades melted into a pure blast of darkness at Eleanor.

"Thank you for shutting her up" he smiled at Eleanor, "but somehow that isn't quite good enough for me. I want to see her burn" his eyes fell back upon Lyna darkly as shadows crept forward. They approached Lyna, reaching out with their wicked tendrils, attempting to steal her away into the darkness."

(( I hope you know i have like mixed feelings for what just happened lol
Torrence: NOOOOOOOOOO *Runs up to Lyna* Dont die on me))

Torrence just stared up in the sky as the man taunted her friends. She wasnt going to be able to stop it. She wasnt even able to stop her own self from getting trapped. Hell she wasnt even able to stop Damian from dying, Varun from getting sucked into the shadow realm, or Rroy from killing himself before he came back. No she felt like she was useless. She may have been at a young age when her family died, but she was useless then too. All she did was cause the fire to her house. She was the cause of it so her usefullness came at the price of losing loved ones.

Now her friends were fighting a man so evil just to get her back when Eleanor didnt even know that she was actually alive and not dead. She could feel that her friends were just making her time in this shadow prison so much worse for her. He would treat her poorly for all the annoyance her friends had caused. They were taunting him for crying out loud. Hugging him. It was hard for her to believe but thats what was happening. She couldnt hear any words come out of Eleanor but Lyna told her to take Torrence's body away from there and that if Caedis wanted her dead that he had to kill her himself because she was his opposite. She was the pure good and he the pure evil. How can you stop pure evil though?

Thats when she heard it. Her eyes widened at the sickening sound of a sword flying through the air and then slicing through flesh and bone. For a second, she though she was going to die. Had it been Caedis who was stabbed? No. Eleanor's scream of something being Caedis' fault was defening in her ears. Torrence's head slowly looked down from the sky in sheer terror of what she had seen. Eleanor had been trying to get to Caedis but instead had gotten Lyna who had stepped in front of the blade.

Immediately Torrence was on her knees at the girls side, trying desperately to grab her and hold on. It wasnt working. She even tried using shadow magic but that didnt work either. "No no no no no this cant be happening. Lyna. Wake up Lyna. Wake up. Please wake up." She turned towards Caedis and tried using shadow magic to harm him but she only passed right through and ended up on her knees on the other side. "YOU BASTARD... Ill rip your throat out... Ill rip it right out of you" She was protecting Lyna with her own shadow magic and running after him. She tried to tackle him into the ground using her own shadows but went straight through. She did this a couple times before she gave up on that and just sent shards of shadows his way.

Eleanor flew back at the blast, it stunned her slightly and by the time she got up she saw the tendrils going towards Lyna. Another growl came from her throat as she said, "You're fight is not with her, pay attention!" She then shoved her clawed hands into the ground. A wall of spikes shot up between Lyna and the tendrils while a jagged line of the same spike type objects broke through the earth, racing towards Caedis in a jagged pattern.

Her eyes were black, dark green to the point that they were black that is. Her low stance was more animalistic, more battle styled than Eleanor would normally do in her right state of mind. But she wasn't in her right state of mind, she was out for blood at this point.

((I edited lol... Didnt see you had posted.))

Caedis continued to ignore Torrence, she was nothing but an spectator now and he didn't think she was talented enough to make a difference to him. It was almost amusing how she ran right through him in her pitiful attempts. However when those shards came his way, it caught him off guard, he swiftly stepped back to avoid them, a rather uncharacteristic move to anyone who could not see what was going on in the shadow plain. He found himself swiftly moving again in an attempt to avoid Eleanor's attack. His gaze raced between on and the other as he tried to keep his focus on both.

He frowned slightly, directing his shadows to drag Torrence away from the immediate area. If she wasn't going to be a good little spectator, he was going to have to start taking away privileges-like watching her friends suffer.

((Such a twisted view O.o))

Torrence knew she had caught him off guard with the shards. She kept throwing them at him. Even when his shadows tried to drag her off, she still shot them at him until she needed her hands to fight them off. Was he seriously not going to kill her but keep her as some kind of ghostly pet? She fought the shadows that tried to drag her away from her friends. She was already on a frenzy so why not just fight until the shadows consumed her or something? She shot the ground that lead away from her friends, pushing her and her captors towards the wall she had leaned up against earlier. It made her cough as she hit but she at least she had made it so that she could go up against the wall instead of getting dragged off somewhere. She kept trying to fight them as she shot another couple shards at Caedis. She didnt want to be his pet and she would show him that through her fighting both he and his shadows.

((Chris to the rescue!!!!!))

Blood. He could smell it and Eleanor, fight was all that came to mind when he smelled it. He siftted until he was more wolf then human. He ran fastter until he came across Caedis and the girls. Torrence was passed out a few was back from them, Eleanor was in her fighting mood, and Lyna.....Dead, well that was how she appeared at the moment. He quickly moved over and picked her body up, ignoring the spikes and tentacles of darkness, of course he was hurt in the process but he was finally able to get her body out of there. "She is dead....." he stated out loud as he felt for he pulse, she indeed appear dead. His eyes flashed gold as he looked at the man and Eleanor, she was fighting, he didn't feel that she would win.

Caedis shot Torrence a look as he sent another wave of shadows at her. It was his favorite attack, allowing a barrier to block his enemies while lashing out at them at the same time. Effective to say the least.

Turning towards the others he raised his hands as Chris appeared, not giving the wolf-man a chance, he immediately sent a barrage of shadow spikes towards the new arrival.
