Wrong way in!

[Shae]

The girl was genuinely shocked at this raging outburst. Such hostility so soon was almost unprecedented.

But that was often the effect she had on people, so she just shrugged and raised herself to her full four feet, pulling the sword out of the turf as she did.

"My name's Shadow Tell, or Shae, if you like. What's yours?" The girl asked the other, her right hand casually gripping the sword hilt.

I never lie to myself, only to others. She said silently. Besides, you all seem to like games well enough, why can't I play?

What ever was getting into her? Oh well, as long as she could buy time, it was good. Admittedly, dawn was still hours away, but really, did she need dawn to come so soon?

I've tried being a meal in this forest before, the vampire turned down my offer. She added.

[†Amelia†]

Amelia was confused by the girl; she couldn't tell whether the girl was on the human's side or on the lycan's side and either way she was getting impatient

[Paige]

Only those with a tail and four paws can play,human.[i/] she sent to the new human But if you truly wish to play then you shall have to drop your weapon over on the ground. Her golden eyes glared at her coldly. If the girl decided to use magic then she'd better be prepared for a fight because Paige, unlike others of her kind, still held the power to use magic due to the ancient blood curse that courses through her veins.

Her gaze turned deceivingly warm as she looked upon the other human girl. Come with me and I shall take you to safety. This girl Shae is not to be trusted, nor can she protect you from the dangers of this forest. she sent to Caris in a motherly concerned tone.

[Daniela]

I'm Daniela..or Danni for friends.. the blonde sent to Paige I'm Xavier's pup...anyway..lets play now..

"Come with me girl! Can you trust someone with four paws and some strange girl that wondered in?" she called and came closer to the group, she sent a look at Amelia, Danni was sure she would notice that twinkle in her eyes...

"And you shouldn't touch her Lycans she haven't done anything to you..." she yelled at the wolfs.
Like I said in the day I was bitten...humans are stupid, thanks god I'm not one of them now... sent Danni to her lycan friends.

[Shae]

The Lycans must have thought she was stupid to just put her sword down. She sheathed it, and crossed her arms over she chest.

"I'm not to be trusted? I suppose you could be right." She admitted, dark green eyes flashing black.

The girl was just about ready to walk off, but the other girl was scared, and she was confused already.

As heartless as the girl was, she wasn't one to leave the helpless to get themselves killed in ignorance.

"So, let's see. You can't trust me, you can't trust any one with four paws and a tail, and I'm strange." The girl put her hand to her chin, acting the pensive, thoughtful type she had once been.

"Four paws says you can't trust me, other - I hesitate to say girl - says you can't trust four paws or some strange girl who just wandered in, which oddly also includes herself." The girl thought trough this again and again.

"So either everyone is lying, or they're all playing mind games, or they are begginning to get confused themselves." The girl decided to try and reach the other.

"I don't expect you to trust me, I just want you to find your wand, and get some light going. I almost can't see your face, and from here, that is a very bad thing."

The girl tucked some of her purple hair back behind her ear with one hand, and reached her other into one of the many pockets on her coat.

She pulled out her own wand and demanded of it "Lumos." Causing it to light up.

"I do hope no one minds if I shed a little light on the situation." She said, smiling as sweetly as she could. She wasn't very good at it, so it looked more like she was bearing her teeth in a horrible contortion.

[Maí Lé Rosà]

The 'horrible contortion' of the purple-haired student was close to comical in comparison to the jagged grin of the demoness in the canopy above. Mai had been observing the scene from the start with mild interest, until the second student stumbled across the first, flashing about a smoothly crafted sword and a smart wit.

Clad in a corséted dress with a rippled skirt and tight bodice all bathed in black, Mai blended into the dim canopy easily, her ivory cream hair rode down her spine in a twirl, twisted together but tied with nothing but gravity. Heeled leather boots struck a tree branch above the student who called herself Shadow Tell and Mai stepped off the branch, dropping to the ground with ease.

A quick gaze at the lycans told them they weren't of her concern, nor was the pathetic girl that had wandered into their midst in the beginning. Shae had Mai's driven attention and the demoness eyed the girl closely through ruby red-tinted eyes, hellishly darker than the eyes of the young brown she-wolf. The body language Mai was using to confront Shae should have been enough to tell the lycans that Shae was the prey of the demoness, and should they choose to interfere, they wouldn't leave without serious injuries.

Mai's hand shot out to Shae's and she curled her slim fingers around the bright wand, pulling it from the students grasp with speed. The hands of the demoness were covered with gloves of black lace, serving her fingers protection from splinters as she snapped the flimsy peice of wood in half and threw it to the ground behind her.

"I'm afraid some of us do mind." She hissed in a venomous tone, her crimson eyes narrowing as she leaned closer to the girl. Acting with lightning precision she unsheathed Shae's sword and spun sharply on her heels, letting go of the sword in mid-pirouette. The sword flew over the heads of some of the lycans and sank fast into the barked trunk of a tree, directly beside the neck of the first student who'd entered. No doubt scaring her to a state of shock at the close call.

The underside of the ruffles on the skirt of Mai's dress rushed around her pale legs as a harsh wind suddenly blew through the group, unravelling her cream-coloured hair and sending it in a dance around her hips. She kept her snakelike gaze on Shae, prepared for any smart moves she may try. However, the demoness sensed something different in this girl. She was more one for words than anything physical, and she was sure talented in keeping a calm exterior.

Mai would indeed have fun with this one...

[Shae]

The girl was, to say the least, infuriated that the demoness had taken and broken her wand. To her, her wand was her best friend.

It was just as bad that she had taken her sword.

"Well, I apologise for offending you." The girl said, as calmly as she could, walking over to the tree where her sword was.

She gripped the hilt and whispered "expelliarmus". It was the disarming charm, but with her and the sword, it would free the sword and blast away some of the tree.

Then she walked calmly back to face the demoness, careful not to tread on what remained of her wand.

"repairo" She said, her sword tip touching one of the peices of the wand.

She had never been more appreciative to her gypsie grandpapa for turning his wife's wand into a sword for her.

The wand was fixed, but not quite good as new. She wouldn't use it again. Instead she put it safely in one of her pockets.

"Now please don't do that again, or I will have to retaliate." The girl said, green eyes flashing black again.

She looked to the other girl.

"I want you to run, and I want you go run in a straight line, and I want you to run that way." The girl pointed the direction back to the castle, where the trees were thinner.

"And I want you to keep a tight grip on your wand."

If the girl did not run, that would be her own fault. She could not watch out for her now.

She had her own probelm now.

"The time to face my demons has not come soon enough." The girl said, eyes fixed on the demoness in front of her.

[†Amelia†]

Amelia kept looking around; very nervously.

Guys...I think we had better get moving...we are on their turf...

[Paige]

Oh no, no, no. I'd prefer to stay and watch this could get interesting she sent to the group her gold eyes watching the demoness.

[Shae]

The girl kept watching the demoness, but her mind wandered.

She would find out what it was like to die, then who knows? She had seen ghosts around the castle, maybe she could be a ghost too.

Just so long as she didn't have to keep chasing her head around, that would be fine.

How would the demoness kill her? The girl had no doubt that she would be killed, once you had the attention of a demoness, you didn't walk away alive.

Perhaps the attack would be aimed for her heart. But perhaps not, there wasn't much there, after all, and what was there, well, surely it was cassed in iron and ice.

Just so long as her ghost self didn't have to chase a head around, she didn't care how she died.

Now she held the sword in her right hand, in a way that she had learned that was a compromise between holding a wand, and gripping a sword.

She whispered a soft charm to sharpen the edge. Being thrown into a tree was bad for it, and the girl liked to keep the point sharp.

If anyone knew, it was her, that blunt things, hurt even more.

"I am ever so pleased to be of entertainment values." The girl said, slightly annoyed.

But if the lycans were watching her, the other girl would have more of an oppertunity to run. And that was what mattered.

[kouga]

Kouga moved slowly and low to the ground as he stalked them. He hhad been following them for a few moments now ever sense he got their sent. As any good hunter does he was down wind of them and was moving alone withthem while getting closer as well.

He could see the girl shae and the lycans near her and he grinned. He knew the lycan girls had lead her in this far for fun of it, he knew they most likly didn't mean the girl any true harm. He moved slowly till he caght the sent of a demon and he stopepd not sure wether to go ahead or not.

He had a idea to use what his lycan 'mother' used often. he lay on the ground to make himself hard to spot and the wind was blowing their sent to him so they could not smell him out. 'Well well if it isn't the tunnel lycan, and i see a nice and taste human child with them[/b] he grinned at his own thoughts to all fo them You are on Forest Lycan land My dear Tunnel lycan females, you know i can kill you if i truely wished it, but sense you have a seemingly lovly plum girl with you i will recommend you trade her life for your own.[/b] he hoped they would agree he could atatck and kill one before the others could move but after that it would be up in the air.

[Paige]

Paige's ears perked up, she recognised the voice. We may indeed be on your 'turf', pup, but you are still young and have not the experience that I have she sent back. She tensed slightly, trying to pick up a scent. The wind did not carry any, so that left only one direction. Turning her head towards the only direction left she gazed, albeit unknowingly, directly at the spot were here crouched concealed.

occ: Just to make it clear I'm not looking for a fight, I'd have gone by now but I happen to like/appreciate Mai's posts. My character hasn't yet had the oppurtunity to post with her, but who know Paige-y might get the chance now...

[joey crowe]

(while flying over, joey noticed a squibble between puppies in the forest, so he went down to watch them play like the cute puppies they were...)
oh how i wants to hug them! (makes cute face)

[Sealla (Retired)]

The black fur melted away, and the Lycan stood on her hind legs. The next second a tall woman stood before the two demons, four Lycans and two human girls.

A new scent filled her nostrels. A Vampire. But it didn't matter. He didn't pose as a thread. Hello she sent to him in a kind way.

Her cold eyes turned even colder towards the direction Paige was looking in.

"The younger of any species should show respect to their elders, wether they like them or not." Sealla added in with Paige's words.

"And besides which, you are too young to be able to kill us, especially Paige and myself. Amelia and Danni have been Lycans long enough to defend themselves. Not meaning to be abeit rude." The woman stood tall and proud before them, but not meaning to intimidate anyone.

Twas true. He could hurt her, but not kill her in a true fight. She was right when he first met her. He was a little too arrogant for a new Lycan. New Lycans should always show respect for elder Lycans, otherwise they'd be in trouble. Amelia and Danni knew that already.

[joey crowe]

(cries) dont ignore me puppies! (flies down and hugs) I WUVS YOU!!
