The Ravenclaw girl walked out of the castle, in her mind she was not aware of where she was going. Currently she had no clue what to do at all, all she could remember was Faith and Anya. And the fact that she should find them. Where? She had no idea. She walked along the castle grounds in slow strides as her mind overtook her. All she could do was think. And the more she thought the more confusing everything got.
If only she had known where she was going. Her feet seemed to walk her to the forest, anyone else would have sense enough not to put a foot near the forest if they were only a mere student. But maybe it wasn’t her fault. She was completely unaware. And off-guard. Probably a better chance for any creature to snap her neck.
All though she should worry she practically skipped through the forest as she dodged all of the trees and vines that got in her way. She looked like a five year old that had just found a beautiful flower. Her eyes widened amusedly as she murmured;
“Pretty!”<br> Tru made it deep into the forest when she realized that she had no clue where she was. A minute ago this place seemed so nice, and peaceful. But now she swore she could see shadows moving swiftly around the trees. She rested her back on a large tree trunk, slowly sinking to the ground until she was in a position so her knees were up to her chest.
Suddenly she could remember, she knew some of the things the forest could hold. She remembered coming here with Faith. And even though she was with a Lycan, the creatures seemed not too happy about the presence of a human. Now, imagine them seeing her without anybody. Just her. …Just her.
Tru stayed there helplessly, she wanted to get out but she knew she couldn’t. How? All she could see were trees that surrounded her, nothing else… No sign of how she got in here. Tru gritted her teeth.
What once seemed so beautiful now seemed so deadly… What were she to do now?
Faith wasn't here to save her... Nobody was...

A slight breeze blew on Ceiced's robes as he strolled the castle grounds. He brought a hand up to smooth his black hair, and stopped. Since returning to the school he'd been mobbed with schoolwork to make up, and he'd decided that a walk in the early spring air would cheer him immensly. Things had been going fine until he spotted a figure somewhere in the distance hurrying towards... the Forest? He squinted and leaned forward slightly, yes, it was a girl headed straight for the Forbidden Forest. What in the world was she thinking going there alone?!
So he stood in indecision, filled with concern yet not wanting to have anything to do with the Forest and it's inhabitants. His first visit there had been anything from pleasant, and he had a feeling that trying his luck again could leave him dead. He frustratedly ran a hand through his hair, then sighed. There was nothing for it- if he saw that girl injured he would never forgive himself. In a moment he was off at a run for the Forest, his blue robes flapping behind him as a strong wind kicked up. Fear came on him slowly at first as he approached, then continued to increase until he stood timidly at the edge of those menacing trees.
Yet even in terror his mind was working, he pulled his wand out of a pocket in his robes and pointed it at the ground in front of him. "Flagrate" he commanded, and a line of flames shot from the tip to the grass, though it refused to spread. The spell would give him a handy guide to find his way back out once he found the girl. With a resigned expression on his face, he made his way into the trees. She had left a fairly obvious trail, broken branches and muddy footprints abounded. In fact it wasn't all that long before he found her standing terrified in the middle of a small copse, looking utterly lost. At that moment all of the trees looked ready to attack, the malice seeming to flow from them, or perhaps from whatever approached? Hurriedly he ran up to her and grabbed her sleeve.
"What are you doing?! We have to get out of here!" he said quietly but urgently, tugging harder to try and get her moving. The firey line stretched away back into the forest, he was glad he'd thought of it. He just hoped they could follow it out before anything found them...

...But she already had.
Perhaps the biggest mistake was to leave a trail right to themselves, or break everything living and dead thing in their path, or perhaps it was to speak, seeing as their adolescent voices echoed off the bark of each tree, filtering the knowledge that there were students in their midst all around the forbidden land.
Mai stood at the edge of the forest, the black-leather toes of her boots just dipped in the beginning of the fire line. A thinly pale finger was poised at her chin, and she stared down the hollow trail they'd made in the foliage, each carmine eye on each student. "To be, or not to be?" She muttered, analysing the distance between herself and the two mortals.
Narrowing her gaze, the demoness dropped her hands infront of herself and stretched her palms towards the fire, then with an explosion of a pair of magnificent ebony wings, she raced towards them with her feet just off the ground. As she approached, the fire beneath her sputtered in protest and eventually froze into a thin line of ice, which melted soon after she touched down inches from the boy's face.
Tipping herself forward on pointed toes she snatched his wand from his hand and broke it in two with her slender fingers. Letting the pieces fall to the floor she thrust her boot into the ground over them and smirked with satisfaction as a cloud of grey smoke billowed from underneath her boot, signalling without a doubt that ashes were all that was left of the wand.
Her expression flittered on amusement for a moment, before fading to an impatient look. She grabbed the boy's arm and tossed him aside, then she bent down and hooked her fingers under the girl's collar bone, piercing the flesh and lifting her high off her feet. With a spark of malice in her eyes, Mai threw the girl in the same direction as she'd thrown the boy, turning a calculating stare their way as the girl landed.
"What are you doing here?" She hissed through clenched jaws, noting the knowledge in their eyes that told her they knew this forest was forbidden for students to trespass upon.

Sungai was wandering aimlessly through the forest when the standard cracking of leaves and branches broke through the forest. He raised an eyebrow and turned in the direction of the noise. He waited a moment, his golden eyes darting through gaps in the trees and branches, trying to find the source of the noise. There was a hissed whisper and a flash of flame. Sungai knew he was close. He heard a familar voice whisper "To be or not to be," then the small brush of wind against his face. Mai had discovered them. Sungai allowed a smile to drift across his face and he strode toward the scene, his boots managing to remain nearly noiseless.
He reached the clearing and leant casually against a tree, in Mai's line of sight after she had tossed the two students aside.
"That is the question," Sungai spoke the next line of the famous verse and tipped an imaginary hat to Mai, as she had done to him on their first meeting. He stepped further into the small clearing, nodding thoughtfully in agreement with Mai.
"I think the Demoness here has a valid question," Sungai's eyes sparkled dangerously and his fangs were visible over the top of his bottom lip. "What are you doing here?"

Tru looked at the guy, she wasn't going to go with him! For all she knew he was a vampire, demon, lycan... Anything! She pulled her arm out of his grasp, she noted the line of fire which was bright, it would lead anything to them. Anything.
She was almost in tears as she saw the pale figure com towards them, she actually had enough sense to realize that she wasn't human. When she saw the black wings, she knew. Demon. 'I'm dead...' She thought hopelessly. Tru knew, though, after she had realized exactly where she had ran to, that she was a goner. A whimper escaped her lips as the hand of the demoness grabbed her, flying her next to the boy, her thud as equally loud. She groaned. 'If only I had my wand...' Tru thought, her life was coming back to her somewhat. She did know magic. But she did know, magic was no use against this magnificent creature.
Tru stood up quickly, perhaps it were a mistake, but she had to do something, she was not going to be on the muddy forest floor. She looked at Mai, she sucked back the tears that were so desperatly trying to leak out of her eyes.
If only she knew that it was forbidden when she came here... But no, of course she couldn't have remembered it before now. Tru bit her bottom lip to stop it from trembling, she thought demons were cool, they were amazing creatures along with the rest of the magical creatures that lurked in these very forests, but she knew she had walked in their territory, now she had to pay. She looked over at the boy who still lay on the ground. He obviously no more then a wizard.
Then another one came. This time a boy, yeah, she was dead.
"I-I don't know..." Tru stopped herself from stutering like a maniac, she was going to go on about what happened, but they would not care. It would just give them more of a reason to kill her.
"..." -No, she was about to say 'I'll never bother you again if you let me go!' But no, that was not a good idea she realized, after closing her mouth from its open state. That would be... Begging. Maybe they wanted that? Her mind was in a million pieces, the girl was simply clueless, she just stood there. For some reason she couldn't run... Not like it would do any good, would it?

Mai tasted the girl's sweet blood off the skin of her fingertip, savouring the flavour of iron as it teased her taste buds continuously. As the final majority of the substance touched her tongue and moved off her flesh, she dropped her hand by her side, the bloodstain still visible on her pale complexion.
Somewhere in the area Mai noted the undead and strikingly familiar aura of a vampire she'd been aquainted with not so long ago, called Sungai. A smirk slipped into her cherry-red lips and she looked up to see the vampire leaning on the trunk of a sturdy tree nearby.
As Sungai spoke the next line in her imaginary play, she couldn't help but allow a grin to break apart her lips and reveal pointed rows of teeth, which she normally concealed. And when the vampire tilted his hat her way, Mai let loose a delighted chuckle and beckoned him over to join her, and that he did, throwing in his own proverbial speech to the students.
As the young girl stood up, and rather quickly too, Mai's lips sank closed again, into a patient smirk, while her arms lifted to cross before her chest. Her posture resembled an expression similar to the question 'where do you think you're going?'. The girl bit her lip and sputtered out a weak "I-I don't know...".
Mai's face formed a look of mock-pity, which soon dissolved in a soft expression, a hidden expression masked behind a possible act of sympathy. She knelt down infront of the girl so they were at the same level, then she lifted her hand and cupped the girl's left cheek gently, just as she closed her mouth.
"Y-You don't k-know?" She mimicked the stutter in the girl's speech, but widened her ruby-red eyes and raised her shapely eyebrows in a look of playful innocence. Holding the girl's face in her hand, Mai felt the tender pulse of the girl's veins, close to her neck where the closest arteries rested so perfectly.
Catching a brief glance at the girl's neck, the demoness moved her thumb towards the girl's eye, causing her to instinctively blink, and Mai chose this moment to delicately brush her smooth thumb over the girl's eyelid, prepared to clean her cheeks of any tears that might fall.
"My dear child," She cooed with sudden affection, taking her hand away from the girl and settling both her clasped hands in her lap. Her soft scarlet eyes held a strange glow as she gazed upon the girl, and then she parted her lips to speak again.
"Tell me your name."

His body struck the tree with a dull thump then another thump as he struck the mossy ground, the wind completely knocked out of him. He blinked once or twice at the bluriness around him that was the Forest, and he felt around the ground in a panic right as the girl landed nearly on top of him. She too hit the ground, but with a slight crunch instead of a thump. Ceiced winced as he heard it, like the sound was painful. 'Wonderful... first my wand, then my glasses... I can't even use Reparo...' he immediately curbed his thoughts and watched the blurred outline of the demon steadily approaching. Couldn't demons read thoughts?
So he staid stock still as the demon approached and started conversing with the girl. No matter how much he blinked and squinted he couldn't make out her face through the fog that was his vision. It seemed that he was quite literally helpless, without his wand or his sight he had nothing. He could only stay as calm as possible and as silent as possible, then if his fate allowed he would be left unnoticed. Unlikely.

Tru watched silently as the girl licked the crimson blood from her fingers, she wondered if Faith was like that, being a lycan and all... To be so able to just... Torture someone, lick the blood of someone elses from their fingers... Tru contemplated it, well, she was a lycan, so, perhaps she did. Tru cocked her head to the side, did the demoness seem to have a look of somewhat sympathy? No, it could not be, it must have been an act. If someone could take your blood from just a moment before, how could they suddenly sympathize? It wasn't right... It was a game... All a game... She thought a squeak escaped her lips as Mai's hand caressed her face, but perhaps she was wrong. The voice that was once there had seemed to leave her. She listened as Mai mocked her speech - in a normal situation she would have said something to defend herself - but this was anything but normal. Tru felt that if she dare do or speak something the wrong way, she was a goner. Well, darn, she was probably a goner anyway. She wondered how the boy behind her was doing, oh how she desperatly wished that she had went with him. But of course she had to be stubborn. That could have saved her her life. 'Or maybe I should have played dead?' She wondered, thinking, she could have just stayed on the ground instead of rising to her feet so quickly. It seemed hard to think of your actions, she did just what first entered her mind. Tru nodded slowly, "I do not know," she tried desperately to straighten her voice out, and with much effort she did. "I temporarily lost my memory, and of course forgot the dangers of the forest..." She spoke, in her mind it she spoke more boldly, but for real her voice was soft, and surprisingly calm. Maybe not being demanding would get her out of this mess. How could the demoness show such... ... Pity? Sympathy? Tru blinked a few times, Mai seemed as if she meant no harm... Tru wished that was the way it was going to be. But her prayers would do her know good. "My name is Tru... Tru Davies," she told Mai, waiting for her relpy, or perhaps action. Ooc: Whoa... How tall is Mai?

Post by Maí Lé Rosà on Apr 14, 2005 7:41:11 GMT
{ooc}: A good six feet tall. I'm not sure how tall Tru is but I assumed Mai would be taller, my apologies if I'm wrong.
{bic}: Wonderful... first my wand, then my glasses... I can't even use Reparo...
Mai did indeed hear the boy's thoughts, only because she had half her attentive mind set on him as well as the girl. Holding two people captive, or dinner, was always considerably harder than two, for obvious reasons. Out of the corner of her eye, Mai caught sight of the boy watching her, he grew very still as Mai began talking to the young girl.
What a quiet meal he would be, should she have planned to eat him. Mai chuckled lightly at this thought. Clearly the boy was opting for the 'silent and harmless human' act, and he most likely was harmless, he sure was silent, unless one counted the pulsing of his heart and his more-rapid-than-usual breathing. He was also quite calm, despite the situation. The demoness, couldn't ignore him. It just wasn't her nature.
Mai raised herself to her full height and placed a finger over her lips to the girl, telling her to wait a moment. Then, the demoness made her way lazily over to the boy and knelt beside him, scooping the remains of his glasses up in her right palm. With the cupping of the other palm over the shattered frame and glass, Mai smiled once at the boy, before removing her hand and revealing a repaired pair of glasses.
She leaned forward and placed the center of the glasses on the bridge of his nose gently, then winked and stood up, returning to the girl. Hearing the girl's thoughts on playing dead made Mai chuckle out loud, and she placed her hand to her lips, knowing the others in the clearing were probably wondering what on earth she found amusing.
Had the girl decided to play dead, Mai would have known she was alive, unless the student could hold her breath for an unspeakable amount of time, halt her heartbeat, and block all thoughts and fears from her body and mind. What a creature Mai would have had on her hands then.
Finally Mai regained her composure and looked at the girl, still standing. She ignored a fair deal of the girl's explanation at first, but then chose to spill a few threats and see whether the girl's fear would leak into her aura and fuel Mai's interest. "Perhaps we should remind you how dangerous the forest can really be." Mai suggested with a cocked brow. "Tru Davies," Mai sifted through her lips.
"Have you wondered what it would be like to lose your memory, forever...?" She asked with a note of danger in her silky voice.

Sungai smiled wickedly, eyes glinting in the moonlight.
"Ahh, an interesting concept, Mai. I can't say I've ever experienced it, but I'm sure it would be a rather intriguing experience," Sungai walked idly around the two, circulating them, winding the story around them as he spoke.
"Not being able to remember your name. Who you are. Where you come from. Where you've been. What you're doing here. Where you are. Who to trust. Who to be wary of." He came to a halt next to Mai, sliding his hands into his pockets and surveying the two in front of him.
"A very intriguing experience. But you would barely remember it of course, after all, your memory is gone," Sungai's eyes glittered in the dark, his teeth flashing white against the pale moonlight.

Ooc: Well, Tru is about 5'2 I do believe, so, I was thinking Mai was close to 10' ... But, yeah, I suppose that would work... ^^. Bic: Tru watched as Mai left her for a moment, wondering what she was doing. She walked over to the boy, and fixed the glasses that he had been wearing. Tru tilted her head to the side slightly, she was wondering why Mai did that... Well, that was the least of her worries now. But she didn't understand, maybe because she stood up so fast Mai decided to give her a hard time, and the boy could just... Be pampered? Tru's eyes never left Mai, all though it would not matter - she proably had some power to make her go faster then the human eye could see. She knew how dangerous the forest was, at least now she did. Tru couldn't help but feel sorry for herself, she knew it wouldn't get her anywheres... At least she knew someone felt bad for her. "I know how dangerous the forest can be," Tru said, wondering if she should have made that bold statment. That could have just gotten her killed, and Tru did not want that. If she could take words back, she gladly would have did just that. It would have been best just to not say anything, she could have just listened, and waited. "Tru Davies..." Tru's heart skipped a beat, she almost screamed, and ran for her life. But her voice would not work, and her legs would not move. If Mai let her go, it would not matter, she couldn't walk anyway. Perhaps if they said that she could go, then she would. Tru was not to sure anymore. Dare she speak? Yes... A voice told her in the back of her mind. If she did not respond, Mai would think she was ignoring her, and that would lead to no good, Tru assumed. "I've wondered about it..." Tru responded, she folded her arms over her chest as she looked over at Sungai. She knew what loosing your memory meant. Did he have to explain? Or did it just make him appear more... 'Mystical' ? Tru didn't know. Maybe he thought her dumb. She did walk into the forest... That was dumb. 'Really?' Tru felt like saying sarcastically, sometimes she was horribly sarcastic... But it would not get her out of the situation, so she decided to ignore what the vampire had said, unless he was looking for a reply...

Mai swivelled her gaze over her shoulder at Sungai as he stopped speaking and wove the words into Tru like a spider would weave it's web over and over again like prey. Sungai certainly would have known that Tru knew what it meant, for spiders knew that their prey knew there was no escape, but it didn't stop them weaving a stronger web, a web of fear.
Turning her wine-coloured eyes back to Tru, she narrowed her gaze at the girl and sighed softly, considering what to do next. Fortunately for the girl, Mai couldn't be bothered performing the ritual in stealing someone's memory, nor could she be bothered piercing something particularly sharp through both ears of the girl, to spear the memory point in the brain.
Instead, Mai grasped Tru's shirt and lifted it a little, revealing the girl's belly. Tilting her head to one side, Mai dropped the shirt once more and spun the girl around, plucking a long strand of hair from her head, making sure it was at least as thick as her finger. Then she tied the girl's hand together with the hair, forcefully so she couldn't free them.
Slamming the child back against a tree's trunk, Mai lifted Tru's shirt enough to reveal her belly button, such a sensitive spot, and pointed her sharp nail towards it. Capturing the girl's gaze with her own deadly stare, Mai smirked, and ever so slowly began to drive her dagger-tipped nail into the girl's sensitive little belly button, revelling in the warm blood that trickled over her own slender fingers.

Tru screamed... Not more of her hair! Getting back from the hospital she had lost enough of her hair - her once long, gorgeous hair was now short - above her shoulders! And Mai ripped some of it out... Tru wanted to cry, this was so sad... She hated when people even tried to play with her hair. But it would be useless to try and fight her... A human against a demon... She sighed at herself; she sighed in her head so Mai's sensitive hearing couldn't pick it up. Or so she hoped - Mai proably could read minds aswell, and maybe she was doing just that.
She looked down as her quite toned stomach was exposed. She saw the looks on Mai's face; and figured what was coming next was not going to be pretty... Not fun... She gulped. Tru yelped as she felt the demoness' nail slowly drive harder into her belly button. It hurt dearly, and she knew this was just the beginning. As blood flowed from her stomach she thought that she wouldn't make it through this kind of pain... Tru had never suffered like this before - and it wasn't an extremely large amount of pain.
It was a lot to her though. Wet tears leaked out from her heavily shut eyes. How could she look good in a shirt with scars all over her belly button? Tru whimpered. She did not want to show the demon what kind of pain she was in. But it was obvious, so Tru let herself go. She cried like a baby that might have hit its head - "Please... Stop, please!!" The screams were heard throughout the once silent forest. She knew that begging didn't get her anywheres... But, it hurt Tru too much to not.

Mai smirked devilishly as the girl screamed at the force of her hair being tugged. Somehow, in some sick and twisted way it gave the demoness great pleasure to see one suffer, though at other times, she felt oh so sincerely sorry for the poor dears. Pity for Tru, this wasn't one of those times...
Mai indeed caught the sigh, and she considered tugging harder for a moment. Time saved the girl, as one could have said.
As her nail slid between two miniscule points in the girl's flesh, the demoness closed her own eyes, feeling the warmth on her fingers and the ice in the girl's scream. So tender, so very very soft was the girl's flesh, so prettily toned and so sweetly flavoured, both to the tongue and nose, Mai concluded.
The girl began to cry, Mai could smell the salty tears leaking from her pretty eyes. But the demoness didn't open her own, nor stop as the girl began to plead. She heard the thoughts rushing through the girl's mind, and she frowned in mock-pity, smirking all the while.
"Please... Stop, please!!"
Echoed her piercing voice, and that was what the demoness had been waiting for. Retracting her nail from the girl's gut, she twisted it to exit and let it hang lazily in front of the girl's face, her belly now bleeding freely from a pin-pointed wound. "Shh now love." She cooed dangerouly, now opening her eyes and driving her deep gaze into Tru's eyes. Mai's irises were close, if not the exact same colour as the blood dripping off her fingertip.
"What are you crying for?" She asked, quite simply.

Ooc: Blah... Sorry for how long I took, I am a lazy bum, as always. ^^.
Bic:
Tru felt relief as Mai removed the piercing finger from her belly, but soon waves of pain rippled through her once again, the wound was deep, she felt like she had been stabbed. ...Whatever that felt like... Tru didn't want to know, she didn't want this.. Why had her mind not caught on about the forest... Couldn't she have clued in?
The blonde squeezed her eyes shut to blink back as many tears as she could. Finally Tru opened her glassy eyes to gaze at Mai, who was now speaking soothing, calming words. Her eyes opened only a little bit, for her gaze had fell upon the blood on Mai's fingertips; her blood. A woozy feeling washed over the ravenclaw, she didn't know if it was pain, or shock.
Why had the demoness stopped at Tru's plead? Was that what she wanted? Tru was sure that would never have gotten her far. Tru was confused by Mai, she seemed to have so many sides, ones where she was kind, and gentle... Others where she was murderous... Somtimes just defensive... Tru stared at the demoness, her many emotions intrigued Tru as she stared into the scarlet eyes, the same color of her crimson blood.
What was the demoness saying now? "What are you crying for?" were the words she heard, echoing over her thoughts. Tru blinked, tears dripping from the wide honey eyes. She allowed her lips to part slowly, wondering how to answer the question, it was quite simple, was it not?
The pain was excruciating, that's why.
She didn't want to sound sarcastic towards the demoness for some reason, she was inflicting pain upson Tru, but yet she said nothing sarcastic as she normally would've.
It's because she is more powerful then you... A little voice rang in Tru's head, of course that was why, she did not want to make the demon angry at all... But would it matter? There was no way she could talk her way out of this, or fight her way... She was simply trapped due to a lack of intelligence... Or was it memory?
"It hurt..." Tru finally answered, dismissing her thoughts with a few words. "I'm crying, because it hurt..." Tru said, almost admitting she hated pain. It was obvious anyway, for her to confirm it would just be all the more pleasurable for the demoness. Maybe admitting that it hurt was just as bad. Demons liked hurt...
Finally, she took a brave step, and continued looking at Mai. "Please, let me go, I promise to never again enter the forest, I will never bother you again, never..." Tru said, while saying it she was wondering exactly where that had came from. She wondered what the demoness would think of that... Before she knew it, she bowed towards the one who caused her pain. She had no clue why.
Tru clutched her stomach, she didn't know if she could bare it... How she wished to return to the damned hospital... Even if they had cut off the majority of her luxorious hair.
