Thoughtful Illusions

[Rayne]

Death Games.

The rumors of what had transpired in the tunnels had reached her, making her restless with anger. Try as she might to just forget about it, to tell herself it wasn't her problem, she couldn't. She may not live in the tunnels anymore, but the people there would always be important to her.

And vampires killing lycan children struck a cord in her, leaving her plunged head deep in a pool of hate. Nessa had died at the hands of a vampire, her fragile life snuffed out as easily as a candle. Rogue's pups, as well as others, were killed in the tunnels. Killed just because of what they were, killed because the vampires didn't want the threat they would be once they were grown.

She could almost smell the blood she knew had spread over the tunnels, could see it staining the floor and the walls. Her mind was whirling thought after thought together, creating a most vivid picture in her head. She was oblivious to anything but the scene playing through her mind.

Pulling herself out of those thoughts, shaking away the blood, she blinked several times before her eyes came back into focus. Looking around she realized she'd pounded her way to the astronomy tower. Walking over to a large window she flung it open, leaning her hip against the frame she breathed deeply of the crisp night air.

I wonder what the lycans will do for retribution.. she thought, staring out over the night sky.

Raijin had heard the rumors of what had happened to the tunnels. His heart went out to the lycans the ones he cared for anyway, he had heard of Amelia’s death and feared her pups had been killed, but it had been his siblings who lay dead in the tunnels their blood staining the rocks. He hated vampires before but now they would all have to die for what they had done to the lycan pups.

He had made his way to the tower to think, the cool night air always helped him think. As he walked up the stairs a scent rose him his nose that he remembered instantly it was Rayne. He had feeling for Rayne from before when Nessa was still alive it had not been long after that he himself died. He wondered how she would take to him being alive and not only that but a new being as well.

“The night still smells of blood.” he said as he stood in the doorway of the tower. He knew Rayne would not know his form but a trace of his scent maybe. “Been a while girl.”

[Rayne]

“The night still smells of blood.”

Pink eyes slowly swirled to purple, snapping instantly to find the source of the voice. A familiar scent wafted through her nostrils, familiar yet different. He smelled like Railyn, yet at the same time he didn't. What had happened to him? Why did he somehow smell.. demonic?

“Been a while girl.”

Yes, it had been a while. Since shortly after Nessa's death. She never gave much thought to what had happened to the people in her life after she left. She'd only ever contacted Sealla, no one else. Until recently she refused to think of her past and those in it. But now she wondered what had become of the lycan she once knew, because this surely wasn't one and the same.

"Indeed." she answered finally, inclining her head to the side "And what has happened to you since last we saw each other?"

[raijin]

Raijin smirked “You always could tell me apart.” he said softly there was no need to play his role with her she would not fall for it, unless he wanted her to. He moved beside her “I went to hell.” he said simply she had not known of his past when they had nessa nor had she ask. “Lets just say me and a friend had to make a big deal to get out.” he said simply with a smile “I am a new breed, something beyond lycan and demon.”

He looked at her softly “I see you heard of the happenings in the tunnels as well.” he said simply. He sighed “My siblings gone, along with a new one.” he said softly staring towards the tunnels. “So what have you been up to as of late Rayne my dear.”

[Rayne]

"Beyond a lycan and a demon, hmm." she murmured, more to herself. It would certainly explain his scent. Curiosity pushed her to ask more questions, but something told her it was a story best left for another time.

"Oh you know, this and that. Meeting new people." she said, shifting slightly.

She thanked whatever power had told her to keep her hair loose, because now it fell in a veil of blond over her face. And thankfully it covered the blush staining her cheeks. None of the lycans she'd known before, other than Hayzie, knew of her involvement with a human. Though she didn't think Railyn would judge her harshly for it- after all he had been human when he was with Amelia- she couldn't be too sure about this new Rai.

[raijin]

Raijin nodded “I guess that’s good.” he said softly meaning it more then he really knew. He hoped she was happy he had been upset when he had heard of Amelia’s death. “This may sound odd but do you know if any other pups got killed.” he said softly looking off the tower “I mean Amelia’s pups?”. He knew that was an odd question to ask someone he had basically wanted to have nessa be theirs.

He sat on the cold stone “So these new people at least one is a male human.” he said smirking “New body higher senses.” he said with a soft smile, a echo of the old Railyn showing threw. “I am happy for you.” he said smiling.

[Rayne]

"That I know of, her pups are alive..though I do believe one has gone missing." she answered, racking her brain trying to recall all the whisperings she'd heard.

"Yeah, one is a male human...Aridan." she replied, smiling slightly "And what about you? You carry the distinct smell of a female, and human to boot."

Shoving back the blond locks she peered at him curiously. She wondered what else was new about him. A glimmer of the Rai she'd known had flashed in his eyes, but it was obvious there was a lot more to him now than the boy turned wolf-y.

[raijin]

Raijin sighed “Well that’s good to hear, Maybe I could find the other one.” he thought aloud. As she mentioned the human boy he almost laughed, Rayne had never been one to fall for a human he thought. As she mentioned the scent on him he smirked “Well when you seduce a young girl into your bed you tend to smell like them don’t you.” he said with a smirk “and as for what’s new I am back from the dead , you?”

[Rayne]

"Seducing innocents are you now?" she joked, smiling slightly. She just couldn't picture the Rai she knew with a human pet though. But this wasn't the old Rai, she had to remember that. He was very different now, physically and otherwise.

"How did you die?" she asked, the smile slipping from her face. In all the havoc of Sealla leaving, pups being born, she hadn't even heard that he had died.

[raijin]

“Kage.” he said simply as if just that one word would explain everything that had happened. He had thought it funny that she hadn’t bothered to check out the tunnels after Nessa. He of course missed the little girl more then she thought he did he was style Railyn to a degree just a little darker and understood hell a little better then when he was alive the first time.

When she ask about his seducing innocents he laughed a little. “Well it is not like I don’t care for her, she is a nice little thing.” he smirked a little “She is my pet if you will, I take care of her and she takes care of me.” he smirked at her “But don’t get me wrong she chose this willingly.”
