He would have to continue this fight this way from now on. He looked down to see the blood dripping from his abdomen area and grimaced at the sight. It would take him a while to heal after this fight. Those claws of hers were just too damn sharp. As he was running though he seemed to recall a memory of the facial expression she gave off. When she heard him whimper from the pain just for a split second then he saw her facial expression change. So once again this would prove to be a plan but what he had in mind was similar to his previous plan. Except now that he thought about he would have too take a much greater hit to bring her back or he would have to show signs of really being in pain. That made him contemplate exactly what he was going to do next. He wasn’t exactly scared because he would do anything back and this was the kind of things that brothers should do that’s what he thought. So, either way his mind was made up and he smirked getting a glance back to see nothing. s**t, where had she gone that face.

Then It was not so hard to follow her. She had something of his and that was his blood on her claws. It was a faint smell but with his senses he could pick up that faint smell. He sniffed the air trying to keep up with her movements. He knew that she was near him, he just could not hear anything that was giving her away. No footsteps, now noises, just going off of smell alone. He figured it may be the best bet to get the hell out of the trees now since she did not follow him so when he went to leap down he turned and his red eyes fell upon horror when Andrea cut him off. It was as if he was falling down in slow motion and she was right in front of him with in seconds.

It would have been best if he would have stayed with in the trees so his leg could have been skewered or he could have tried to divert its path but since he decided to drop his whole body from the trees thinking she was still behind him then he paid a very costly price for it. This time it wasn’t a regular whimper that was heard, sharp appendages that felt like many swords slammed into his already lacerated abdomen and with in his chest. A loud plaintive sound of whining could be heard and his body was latched onto by her as they free fell threw the air. He even managed to cringe his eyes shut from the pain. He had never been injured so bad before in a fight but this time he really wasn’t trying to get injured in such a way. The real damage had yet to happen yet.

As they free fell then she had the higher ground being on top of him and with her claws embedded into him, the action of his body hitting the ground would be more then enough to end this fight. His hands were reaching up to retract her claws and then a loud sound of Casion’s body hitting the ground. Now the fall didn’t hurt but it was more or less the claws being forced into his body so deep that only the bottom of her paws could be seen. His hands slowly released from her wrist that he was trying to remove and they fell at his side. His eyes widened and he grasped around on the ground frantically, flailing in panic. It was obvious he was in pain and the loud screech of the unpleasant physical sensation was a formal statement of it.

His body begin to shrink and the sounds of her claws tearing out of him due to his shrinking could be heard. The only thing he could manage to do was divert her claws from his heart but from the looks of things it still looked like he ended up in bad shape. Slowly but surely his hands begin to slow down and one hand rose to grasp her face softly and just as fast as he had tried to reach out to her one last time, his hand slowly dragged down her face slowly and hit the ground. His vision was becoming blurry and his upper body from neck and down even below the waist had been covered with blood turning his body into a honeycomb. With his last ounce of consciousness he gripped her clawed hand that was covered in his blood and grasped hold of it. If this was enough to change her back then she would at least know that he was there the whole time so she wasn’t alone and with that, everything grew dark and the movement of everything but his chest stopped. His chest heaved up and down showing signs of breathing.

[Tarsh_1]

There is a desire deep within
the soul which drives from
the seen to the unseen,
to philosophy and to the
divine light

Divine just looked as Tsukiko seemed to be preparing herself and she stared at her contently. See, it wasn’t everyday that Tsukiko decided to go fight, rather it was never, in her eyes. That only meant one thing, she had felt some kind of insulted in some way by her opponent but could Lady Awa really have said something to get under her Aunt’s skin? Hmmm, either way it wouldn’t matter. Ambiance seemed to radiate threw her head and she grasped her head listening and feeling them out. Besides Brody and his lackeys, something else was really wrong. Someone was being hurt and not knowing why she felt obligated to go there! With a quick grasp of her spear she took off with in a flash. Tsukiko knew everything that was going on but Divine herself did not. She had made her way and rather quickly to a forest as her danced with in the wind that her speed generated. She was not supposed to be seen so it would be best to stay hidden.

The instant she entered the forest, she detected using her keen senses and got a whiff of honey. From a reasonable distance her golden eyes narrowed in on what appeared to be someone screaming at the top of there lungs. This caused her to look downward only to asses where the pain itself was coming from. Then some kind of beast came into a view, all black in color and glowing red eyes, one’s that she had read about. Those hatred like eyes explained so much to her and the vibrations that she was feeling from the beast caused her to slowly tighten her already firm grip on her spear. See one thing about Divine was, her body did not allow her to tolerate evil so each time she felt it, she had a beat rapidly and forcefully of pure urge, to eradicate whatever it was. There were two things holding her back though.

The first was Tsukiko’s orders. She was not to be seen and if so, then she was to pretend to know nothing at all. Second, three out of the five of them had the same scent similar to her own and Tsukiko’s, though the one screaming out, and the animal like one, was slightly watered down with a honey scent, she could easily still pick it up. The other she just stared at. She knew exactly who that was now. He smelled and resembled closely too Tsukiko. This was her first time actually meeting him, but before her was the strongest alive member of there clan, Scion Lostran? She could only smile to know that he was doing alive and well. She would automatically assume that those two engaging in combat were none other than his and the famous Caska’s children. Technically they were far cousins. She had wanted to meet them but not under these terms. She would continue to watch intently. She couldn’t seem to draw her eyes from the one who had been making the attack on the male.

She knew that it was female, and she knew that it was a Lycan but the question is, what kind of Lycan looked like that? It couldn’t possibly what she thought it was could it? A female version of it though? Not even Tsukiko herself had reached such a transformation. It seemed that this girl before her was …talented or special? Well Tsukiko would love to know about this eh? She would be sure to report to her. Next to Scion were two unfamiliar faces. One was a woman with vanilla colored hair while the other was a red hair child. She sensed no evil in them so they would not be a threat to her well being. Soon enough, she heard footsteps behind her and with a swift twist of her spear it was thrust around with vigor and intensity behind it and it stopped just short of it’s victims fore head. It was none other than Tsukiko and she was smiling about the whole situation. She didn’t like that look on her face. She always seemed to be up to something. Divine retrieved her spear back and she stood up straight. Before she even spoke Tsukiko decided that it was time to meet there family and with that Divine nodded and made her way into the open. Tsukiko walked first and Divine quickly followed after. Tsukiko walked directly next to Scion and watched intently. The look on his face was not so nurturing. If Divine didn’t know any better, she would have thought he was about to attack. She just listened as Tsukiko spoke out to him.

“ How very rude of you Scion. Why have you not introduced me to my grandchildren? Be at ease, I haven’t even come here to start any quarrel; I simply wanted to say hi to them. It’s surprising but I never thought I would see both of them reach the stage and let alone make it to Alphas. What’s wrong with them though? Not being able to control that stage posses a problem to them both. It shows signs of not being prepared. I take it, it’s difficult to show them what being a alpha of the Ragnars are like? Well, I don’t care, that’s not really my problem. After she is finished bringing her brother near death then I will say hello to both of them. They should at least know who I am. It makes it that much better when they see what I have in store for them. Oh by the way, meet Mithaia’s daughter Divine.

Divine turned to Scion who’s eyes were burning with fire. It seemed that no one thought affectionately towards Tsukiko. She just smiled towards Scion and looked back too the fight going on. She was curious to see the outcome. She didn’t know what was really going on but, one of them was being killed slowly. It would be quite tragic when the sister came back too her normal self.

Awa just continued the rest of her walk silently. Both Mixa and Mind had fallen silent, and Lyra and Kyran had left her side to attend to other matters most likely. Or it was more like Lyra had orders to carry out, and Kyran was just going to wait around for her to return. So while the young vampires played messenger the rest of them would head to the Hall of Methuselah’s and get settled. Hopefully there wouldn’t be any delays, there wasn’t time to waste. Even now Brody was probably getting ready to annihilate them all. Right now, without a plan the odds were defiantly not in their favor. The only trump card they had up their sleeves was Novious being some sort of heavenly being. She wouldn’t say angel because she didn’t believe in such things. Valkyries maybe, but not angels per say. Other then that all they had to tip the odds in their favor themselves was her and Mixa’s strength coupled with their extensive battle experience. Sure Lyra and Kyran were strong, but their minds were still young. And the same went for the lycan twins. However the male twin would probably have a better chance of surviving then his hot headed sister. Now Mind was a wild card, she didn’t know what the newcomer was capable of. Although right now Awa was just thankful for having another stand with them in this new battle.

The Hall of Methuselah’s soon came into sight, and Awa only lengthened her steady stride. It was time to get down to serious business, not to mention Novius still had a lot to explain. He claimed that the heavens were getting involved to put the world back into balance. So was it Brody’s return to the surface that disrupted the balance of life and death? And how had he even returned in the first place, was Caska’s and everyone else’s sacrifice not enough to destroy his evil? It just didn’t seem right to her. So many lives were lost in the first battle yet Brody got to live on in some new demonic form! It disgusted Awa to no end. Her mood was certainly becoming more foul as the night wore on. And that was probably because still in the back fo her mind she was wishing her love had returned to earth with Novius. It seemed selfish of her, but she couldn’t help it. However Novius had said that he didn’t want to hurt her a second time, which led Awa to believe that Novius was not here to stay…none of those that returned from the dead would be back for good…including her lost love. No matter what happened if Loki returned, or did not…. she would still be heartbroken in the end.

Awa ascended the stairs that led to the hall, following directly behind Mind. They soon reached the doors and pushed them open to bathe the gathering hall in the light of the partially full moon. Funny, before she knew of Brody’s existence she actually enjoyed the silver ambience of the moon. However now, she only associated the lunar sphere with the evil that it seemed to continually bring down upon them. Awa quickly found her seat and settled into it while Mind immediately began to speak. It seemed as though he did not wish to wait for everyone to be present to begin discussing the matters at hand. And to be honest Awa didn’t mind, they may as well start and not waste any time. The others could catch up on the conversation when they arrived. Awa then just rested her ax against the table and crossed her arms over her chest. “If Novious had the power to just simply swoop in and dispose of Brody so easily then I don’t think this meeting would have a point…so I would assume that his power is not on par with Brody’s.” Awa said after Mind had finished speaking. Her green eyes closed and she just seemed to grumble a little. If she had offended Novious with her assumption then so be it, but it was how she saw things. If the heavens could stop this on their own then they would…likely without the help of the earth dwellers.

The look of shock and horror on her enemies face when he turned and found her in his path was certainly pleasing. And a triumphant fanged grin couldn’t help but slide across the dark creature’s furry face. Casion had no time to react or dodge as she slammed into his body and began to drag him down with her. However it wasn’t his leg that her claws had managed to catch. Her sharp claws burrowed into his already bleeding abdomen as well as his chest. He cried out and whimpered in pain as she twisted her hands as they both fell. And finally they hit the ground, Casion landing on his back with Andrea crouched on top of him with both hands buried into his flesh. His hands gripped her wrist as he futilely tried to pull her hands from his body, however he was too weak. A triumphant snarl came from the creature as her opponents hands let go and seem to fall away. For a minute it seemed as though he was ready to just lay back and accept death. Then suddenly he began to shake about violently and screaming. However the creature remained latched on, and soon the shaking ceased and her opponent was still again.

This time his eyelids fluttered, a sign if slipping consciousness. Satisfied that her opponent was down for the count Andrea ripped her hands out of Casion’s body. However he had the strength for one last thing, and that was raise a hand to touch her face. Fingers trailed down her cheek, then disappeared as his hand fell limp and fell back to the ground at his side. Andrea sat there confused for a moment, curious as to what it was he had hoped to accomplish through his actions. If he had been looking to reach to the Andrea that was being smothered by darkness then he had failed. Casion blacked out and was now at the mercy of his crazed sister.

Instead of going right for ripping out his throat she instead just bent over and just sank her sharp teeth into his shoulder. She wanted to savor this kill… this victory. The taste of his blood was something she wanted to remember for all times. Teeth depressed until they broke skin and blood began bubbling up from the incisions. The liquid leaked into her mouth, and it was as sweet as it smelled…like honey. However suddenly something snapped her out of her blood reverie. Because she was bit into his shoulder she was incredibly close to the man’s head…and what had caught her attention was how soft his breathing had become. Her large ears twitched, and she for some reason withdrew her teeth from Casion’s shoulder. The creature then just leaned back to look at her motionless opponent. He had returned to the form he had originally faced her in, and his bare skin was painted red with his own blood. His breathing had become shallow, and he looked so weak. “Cas-“ The word began to slip from her mouth however it was halted as a sharp pain seemed to rack her brain. Andrea gripped the sides of her head and jumped to her feat. She yowled in pain, and not before long the black fur that covered her body began to melt away. Her ears and tail disappeared as well…and soon all that was left was just plain old Andrea.

The girl then immediately fell to her knees. Her body was trembling so badly that she could not even stand. What had just happened to her? The last thing she could remember was her dad just…doing whatever he could to piss her off. Then soemthing happened…and everything went black. Andrea originally thought she had just lost consciousness, because she could have sworn she had been having a nightmare. There had been blood, and just…seething rage and madness. Golden eyes then dropped to look at her hands…and she was horrified at what she saw. Her fingers and arms looked like they had painted red, and not only that…but there was a familiar bitter taste in her mouth. Blood, why was she covered in it? It was then that Andrea noticed her brother lying just to the right of her. “C-Casion?” she stuttered. Her nightmare….it…was real. “CASION” she suddenly shrieked as she crawled over to her brother’s side. He looked as though he had been through a shredder. Greif washed over her…she…she had done this to him. She had attacked her own brother, and not only him...but her father as well. Tears sprang forth and streamed down her face. She became a monster who wanted nothing more then to hunt and kill. And the even more terrifying part, was that Andrea could feel it…it was like a burning coal in the pit of her stomach.

A shaky hand reached out to touch her brother’s face. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry….Casion open your eyes…please…..I….I” sobs continued to break up her sentences. “I didn’t mean too” She whispered as she bent her head over to touch her forehead to Casion’s. However she still got no response, all she could hear was the sound of his shallowed breathing. Andrea suddenly began to feel panicked. Casion had always been stronger, he was always the one that could bounce back from an attack like it was nothing. So to see him just laying there motionless was terrifying for his sister. She lifted her head and tried tapping her brother’s face a few times, she did everything even shaking him a little. In her hysterics she seemed to forget that shaking him was only going to agitate his wounds. Her breathing began to become more erratic and it was almost as if she was beginning to hyperventilate. “Casion please…PLEASE!!!” she suddenly wailed however there was no reaction. Hands immediately gripped the sides of her head and she rocked back and forth and she just began to screech at the top of her lungs.

This had all happened because she was weak. She couldn’t handle the training that her father had given her, this form…this power. It was pathetic, she was a failure…and they had all paid the price for it. Don’t be so hard on yourself, your not weak….just look at what we did Andrea’s shrieking suddenly stopped as a voice suddenly began to ring in her head. It sounded like her own, but it was saying things that she would never utter. We are more powerful then they could ever imagine, and Casion is only one of many that will taste our strength and speed This voice. Andrea suddenly came to a horrifying realization. Her transformation had awakened something that was never meant to surface, something evil. And all her rage was only feeding this thing, and making it stronger and uncontrollable. Next time, there will be no survivors Next time? Next time? What would happen if she got angry and it goyt loose again, what would happen then. Who would she kill? What if she went after Ruby…or Artemis…? The voice just seemed to laugh at her concerns and Andrea quickly leapt to her feet and began to back away from Casion and the others. She couldn’t be near them….not now…she was volatile. “SHUT UP” She yelled and the voice only seemed to snicker menacingly. It was there, it was waiting to get out again…it knew she didn’t have control over it. And it was taunting her, trying to make her angry again so that it could continue it’s bloody rampage. Essentially, Andrea was just a ticking time bomb. Andrea continued to stumble away from Casion’s body and the others that stood at a distance. “Stay away!....all of you” she whimpered….”GET AWAY” she screamed again.

[King Kiyen Kurata]

===========================================
To live such a hard life,
and to truly find happiness
and settle would sooth any rageful soul.
That's how I felt when I found her.
Or rather she lured me to her. I could
have never thought to live a day without
her and yet he stole her from me......I will kill
him.
===========================================

Scion had been watching the whole thing content with not helping his son and daughter with this matter. They needed to learn how to do things for there own because he would not always be around and neither would Mithaia so they needed to learn what to do, what not to do, to make decisions and so on. It pained him to watch because despite Casion being so calm, Scion could see it written all over his face, this was a situation that he honestly had no idea what to do. He was handling just as his mother would, assessing the situation, trying to take control of the most reliable action, and sticking too it. With this situation then he could not bring himself to harm his sister. Which was most likely the correct choice but he also had to defend himself against a strong and blood-thirsty opponent. That at which he was failing. He was probably failing because this was his sister and like his mother, he could not bring himself to hurt anyone with in the pack. Sure, he had transformed to try and match her power but throughout that whole fight he had not even taken a defensive swing.

His eyes were diverted from the fight when he heard someone from a distance. He was thinking it may have been Miria but the scent was different and not too far afterwards, he smelled a all too familiar scent of the person he could actually say that he hated more than Brody. She even made it her business to introduce herself. The woman never did know how to shut up but the person with her was strange. He knew her just by her appearance, she was indeed a Lostran. This didn’t stop him from immediately releasing his seal and barring his fangs at her. Glowing red eyes were present. Divine was right to look cautious because he was certainly going to tear her to absolutely nothing at all!

It wasn’t until his ears twitched when he heard flesh slam into flesh and he turned to see that Andrea had managed to catch Casion off guard. What?! His head and eyes moved with them as they fell threw the sky. His eyes widening the whole way down. When they landed even he shuttered. They may not have noticed but her claws had dug directly into the bones with in his chest. He was about to let himself be relieved when Casion’s hands reached up to grab Andrea’s but when they dropped and he writhed around in pain screaming out in dear agony. He honestly could not believe it. He never thought he would see his son hurt so badly. It was hurting him to see him in pain. He fell unconscious and Andrea took in his blood afterwards, her own brother. This obviously was enough to snap her back into realization. He cringed just thinking about how she would feel. Maybe she wasn’t ready for the training and he had pushed her too hard. He just shook his head. Yes, this was certainly his fault. He turned too look at Massa and the look on herand Ruby’s face was just pure shock. That’s when his daughter begin to scream out. Of course she would be devastated to know what had happened.

He was slowly walking over to her and then he quirked an eyebrow when she seemed to scream as if she was talking to someone.”…….no……” If she was speaking to someone with in her. Then it meant she was just like him, that beast was another entity. Just as he had when he was younger and still today. So one thing was accurate. The evil side of Scion did have a daughter, and that thing was it. He felt terrible even worst then he had.”Andrea…..”

“ Stay away!…..all of you. GET AWAY!

It was obvious she was now terrified of what she may do to the next person and Scion understood that feeling all too well. It was the same feeling that he attacked Beo with. He was ready to kill him right then and there off a mere whim, a urge, a animalistic feeling that he could not control. He knew what she was dealing with and she was right to be afraid of it, it had took him a while to manage himself and that was with Caska’s help. Hell, he still could not separate it completely. He would not let her deal with it alone. He first appeared next to Casion and placed a hand on his chest. He was still alive and he looked down to see where the wounds were and he smiled softly.” Your very intelligent like your mother. You could not avoid the attack but you made sure she missed your vital areas. It seems that I was right about you. You could handle it. You knew exactly what you were doing. You also knew the sacrifice and you were willing to take it to bring your sister back.” He brushed some of Casion’s hair from his unconscious face and looked to Massa who had appeared by his side.” Take him back to have him treated please. He will be fine.”

He turned around to look at Andrea and appeared in front of her pulling her closely into a hug. That was the first thing that she needed. Tsukiko being there was not going to help this situation at all.” Andrea, listen to me and listen to me closely. I will not sit here and beat around the bush with this. Nor am I going to lie to you. That thing that took over you, will never leave. If it’s here, its here because you willed it to be. Most likely not on purpose but all that anger and hate that you carry. It simply manifested itself and will not be leaving. Each time you grow enraged, so will the seal that has it locked and it will continue to break. Once it breaks, that mind frame that you were just in, will remain. Sadly to say, that what you just performed, the transformation, was the easy part. The hard part is the control of it. The ALF (advanced lycan form) is simply that. Anger transfused into immediate power. If you can’t control it, it will certainly control you. You always thought your brother to be stronger than you? That is completely wrong. Your twins so technically one cannot be stronger then the other. As of right now your stronger than him but for the wrong reasons. Look down at your hands, the blood all over your body. Who’s blood is that? That’s Casion’s blood. Your stronger than him because he will not attack you, giving you open doors to crush him. His eyes could barely follow you because with in his mind you’re his sister who he feels he has to protect more than anyone. More than ruby, more than massa, more than even me. I know for a fact that you feel the same way. So, do not run away from this situation because you are not a coward. You have ragnar blood, and Lostran blood running threw your veins. You don’t know but I could even tell, your brother was afraid. It was written all over his face. It wasn’t the fear of dying, being hurt, or injured, it was the fear of losing you so he took everything you threw at him until the very end just to get you back. I will assure that he will recover and he will hold no grudge against you because do not forget, whatever you feel mentally he will feel it in some kind of way. Above all, he made a promise that he would not leave your side if you were in trouble and you made the same. So yes, it will be hard but you of all people can over come this. Did I run away from you? Did massa run away, did Ruby run away? No, were all still here by your side no matter what. We will get threw this. You are my daughter and nothing will ever make me want to….stay away from you. I love you as I always have and always will.”

With that he pulled her into a much tighter hug and then bent down to her rubbing the tears from her eyes and rubbing his cheeks among hers. It always calmed he down but there seemed to be other problems on hand. Like what the hell was Tsukiko doing here? Dark red eyes turned to look at her as he seemed to be shielding Andrea. He watched as Massa left with Casion. When they left then the area around them erupted with a siring sound and instantly ignited with fire that seemed to be just as pissed off as Scion. It had been a while since he even used his power to this extent but if he was doing that then that meant he was serious. His voice held a strong feeling of grievance and displeasure as he spoke,” You better listen real well to me MOTHER! Get the ******** away from my children. You had your fun with me and if you wanna see how your son turned out, then make any false move you want and I will turn your entire body into hell itself.” It was obvious that Scion’s power had definitely increased. With in his eyes a glimmer of lightening could be seen and around Andrea was a cool sensation of moisture almost as if water was around her. It seemed over the years he was able to conjure all three elements at the same time. His fire was used to burn everything, his lightening added the sudden ignition effect and the water was to protect Andrea from his power. He had certainly come a long way and he wasn’t even transformed yet. Speak up and make it quick, before I decide to make this area just a little bit hotter” His voice held no mercy with in it, just pure anger. This would be Andrea’s first time that she even heard him mention mother. She was believed that she was dead but for good reason. Tsukiko was …….dangerous.

you, you must prove your worth

Mixa herself had been pissed off knowing that so many had died for Brody and yet this b*****d had returned. He had become a very annoying and stubborn individual! She wanted to anxiously just kill him. She actually couldn’t wait to fight him because with Awa pissed, her next victim most likely would not survive. She couldn’t help but turn to the pissed off and now grumpy woman with a smirk. See Mixa knew that raging attitude of hers all too well. That would be the most time to just either listen to what she said, or just shut up. She wasn’t in the mood for games at the moment. She made her way inside and she looked back to Kyran who was obviously waiting for Lyra. They made a cute and interesting couple. Before she entered then she felt something hit her mind! It was like a wall of worry!

What the ******** was that? It was almost enough to make her drop her sword. Of course she was too much of a woman to do such a thing. She quickly closed and re-opened her eyes to show a burning red with n them. Why in the ******** could she feel Scion’s anger?! It was because she had drained that idiot Tsukie. After she drained one of the Lostran idiots, she felt even more of a connection to them which is why she wanted them dead! This so called sync was just sickening! She hissed turning in the direction and mentally she could feel his power. So it was true, what Tsukie and Tsukiko had said, he was certainly strong. All that did was make her want to kill him even more. What had gotten him so riled up though? Of course the others had no way of feeling his rage but she could. No, it wasn’t Brody because she was certain his rage intensity would be much fierce then that if that was even possible. If it wasn’t Brody, he could take care of himself.

She almost sliced her own head off for even worrying about the talkative idiot. It wasn’t that she was worried she just had to continue feeling this emotion until she forced it mentally from her head. With that, her eyes returned to there beautiful, icy, aura like color and she shook her head. Hmph, she wouldn’t give it another thought. With that she made her way inside and Mind took it upon himself to walk up ahead to have a guy talk with Novious. His question seemed to have pissed Awa off and she took her seat beside Awa and placed a hand upon her shoulder.” Easy, be calm my friend. She gave Awa a warm smile. It was rare to see the woman ticked off in such a way that was Mixa’s role and Awa was suppose to be calming her down.

She was curious to Mind’s question but if Novious could beat him he would have done so already just as Lady Awa had said. Mixa said nothing, she would simply wait for everyone to arrive, including the annoying mutts. She could smell Lyra’s scent and it was good to know that she made it back without running into Brody or any of his people.” Novious I too have a question but I will let it wait until everyone arrives so you wont have to explain yourself over and over again.” Mixa leaned her sword up against her thighs and would wait as patiently as she could. The last to arrive would most likely be the new lycan girl and the twins. How annoying……….

“ Could I do what again?” She asked innocently, looking up at him with faked confusion as if she didn’t have a first idea what he was talking about. She couldn’t help herself. Kyran looking positively embarrassed and stuttering was just too good of an opportunity to let pass. He should be used to it by now. Her mischievous grin would tell him enough; Lyra was teasing. She could just picture it. Kissing Kyran in the middle of meeting. That was definitely one way to embarrass people. Lyra herself wouldn’t be quite as bothered. She generally cared little about what other people thought of her, safe for a few important ones in her life. So even if it was only to see the shock on peoples faces she’d give it a try if Kyran asked her. It might just be fun. Lyra was well aware of her own twisted sense of humour. By all means anyone else might have slapped him for even suggesting such a thing. It just made her laugh. Kyran’s suggestion sounded like he caught the idea from a nickelodeon. He grasped her hand and Lyra entwined their fingers, swinging their hands lightly in between them. It was Kyran’s fault she was wearing a silly smile on her face now even though the meeting was serious business. Maybe it was her selfishness again but she felt better having talked with him and knowing she had his word. He would not attack Lain or Vester. Not tonight anyway. It made her breath a little easier even though she knew in the back of her mind she had made him promise an unfair thing. He had promised her because he felt obliged to do so, because he loved and Lyra, well she loved him back, or at least she thought she did. She just couldn’t help but to feel there was still a gap between them. She just couldn’t figure out why that was and if it was only her who felt it. The smile which faded from her face instantly reappeared when she looked up at Kyran. “ They’re probably waiting for us.” She agreed.

It was sort of nostalgic to walk through the corridors again. Lyra vividly remembered the first time she had been here and remembered she had caused a right ruckus by storming into the hall in the middle of the meeting. It was the night Novious had died and she remembered feeling like she was being suffocated, being near hysterics when she had finally shaken off the assamites who attempted to stop her from going inside. After all such a meeting was hardly a place for a little girl. Lyra had been to upset to see sense and reason and didn’t calm down until Lady Awa herself told her he was really gone. Trust the barbarian woman to say it like is. But Lyra greatly appreciated the woman’s bluntness. It was something she still admired, knowing she had been quite lucky to have Lady Awa for guidance during her training. That night, seventeen years ago, had been the only time Lyra had raised her voice against the woman. She had never done it again. Now, being a little more mature and rational, she was even sorry she hadn’t treated Loki with a little more respect but he was gone now and according to Novious he was not coming back.

This time she did not have to run and neither was she being chased by angry assamites. They where nearing the hall and Lyra’s hand all but tightened around Kyran’s. By the looks of it the Lycan’s where yet to come and so where Lain and Vester. You’d think they hurry it up a little more. Lyra wondered if Andrea’s training might have gone a little out of hand. She could smell, even if faintly, the honey scented blood, which belonged to one of the Ragnars. Well, as long as they remembered this meeting was urgent then whatever they did was fine with her. Slipping through the open doors at the end of the staircase Lyra took a moment to look around. Everything was exactly as she remembered it. Lady Awa and Mixa where already sitting and Mind was talking to Novious. It seemed they had already made a head start though they really had to wait for everyone else to arrive before they could make a proper start. “ What I’m interested in right now...” She started, walking past Lady and Awa and Mixa “ Is why a stranger appeared, literally at our doorstep.” It wasn’t like she had anything against Mind but it just struck as strange that he was just suddenly there and no explanation was given as to what his business was with them. “ What is your interest in helping us?” A smart vampire would have stayed away. This one had come looking for them while it seemed the majority of the vampire clans where cowering like dogs. To Lyra’s eyes it was equal to betrayal but non of that mattered if Brody succeeded in destroying them.

[Tarsh_1]

You may not agree with how I treat my Kin
but you will learn to except it. Let's face it, what can you really
do about it? Engaging in combat wont be very wise for you
I am the the oldest Lycan and the most intelligent.
Don't let the looks fool you, If you know
who I am then you know that I am the Devil's Mistress.
Tsukiko.

The whole beautiful speech that her son gave to his daughter was oh so touching. She couldn’t help but just raise her hands and clap.” Well, That is good, I didn’t raise a liar. You told her everything but I wonder, did you tell her that because I was here. See I like that other side of her do you know why? Well because that other side is the granddaughter that I would love to get to know.” Before anything else could happen then everything around them in a three hundred and sixty degree angle went into an uproar instantly! It caused her divert her eyes to the fire. How very rude, he thought he had told her that he would not be harming her. Doing acts like this would only get Divine upset. She turned to Divine,” please remain come my dear. He will not attack, he is just playing the loving father role, very well might I add.” Tsukiko brushed some strands of hot locks from her face and she smiled at him.

“Andrea, your so beautiful like your mother? I doubt you know who I am so let me tell you. I am Scion’s mother. Not god mother, but actual mother. I assume he told you I was dead? Well to him I am due to past decisions but I am not dead to you sweety. See grandma’s has come here to help you. Daddy cannot show you how to control the other you but grandma can. She is the only one who has technically seen the female advanced lycan form and it’s rare because in certain ways its superior too the male versions. One being the speed, no male with the Advanced lycan form will ever be able to keep up with you. You may think it as a curse now because of what you did to your brother but, you are your fathers child, so it’s going to surface again weather you like it or not. They can only help you so much, I know every aspect of it. So, when you are ready to learn how to control it, then you can seek me out and I will come to you instantly. Don’t let my words scare you, I am only here to help because If I wanted to do something to you and your brother, I would have done it while you were younger. I have a certain respect for what your mother did. So if you don’t want a repeat of what happened seek me out. Until then, be prepared to live guilty knowing what you could do. Your brother just happens to be a very exceptional calm thinker because he dodged a vital wound, but if he did not, you would have had to live like your mother, the only Alpha and I can assure you, you will need your brother with you. So grandma is waiting and as far as your brother, deliver him a message for me. Tell him to be quick to become more like his mother and fast, because just like my son, you can’t control that thing alone and yours seems to be far worst then Scion’s ever could be. Grandma brings you a warning as well,”

Holding out her hand she aimed it Scion. She didn’t do anything but just explained,” Your mother is not around so I can snatch control of your father whenever I want because of that thing. If you don’t learn how to control it with in a reasonable time, grandma will come and get you herself no matter who’s in the way so be sure to except my invitation soon. Scion, let down this wall of fire and it was smart to protect your daughter with that thin layer of water. I cannot talk to the beast. You really are a smart boy. But now, you have to watch your daughters well being. You are unimportant now, I want both of them. I want Andrea’s power, I want Casion because he holds Caska’s will and unique mental power with in him. Ha ha ha. I get what I want Scion. Nothing has changed over the years except that Mommy has gotten stronger. Divine lets go. With that she blew a kiss too Andrea and took her leave.

"Now Divine, I have some unfinished business to take care of so your coming with me. Lets see what the beautiful vampire warrior is made of. You will destroy anyone who comes in between our battle. Brody's children should be about to attack and when they do, Lady Awa and Mixa are ours. I don't need to warn you to be careful, besides Novious, they have the most experienced in fighting and they both would not be happy to see us. Don't worry, I don't believe Mixa can kill you and she's going to attack you anyway because of your blood. Your a Lostran and the woman that I told you that hunts our clan is her. So I take it, you will not let her live. Tsukiko chuckled slowly walking to there destination with a sword strapped to her back. It belonged to Tejin and today she was going to fight. seriously with a woman who had been so eager to kill her.

Blood, it was all she could smell…it was all she could taste. And knowing that it was her brothers was taking its toll on her already disturbed mind. Her stomach churned, and bile was threatening to rise in her throat and ultimately spill the contents of her stomach onto the ground. Andrea couldn’t handle this feeling, it was just eating away at her. “Just leave me alone” she shouted at the spectators again. She had to get away from here, just run until her legs couldn’t move anymore. The further away she was the better right? If she wasn’t here then they wouldn’t be in danger anymore, and she wouldn’t have to worry about losing control and attacking them. Mazoku and her father always told her that she shouldn’t run away from her problems. However this time she didn’t think she could take their advice, this was different. She was unstable and there was no telling what would make her snap next. Just her being here was putting the entire pack at risk, she just couldn’t put them in that position. Casion wouldn’t forgive her for fleeing…and when he woke up he would likely search for her. However by the time he regained consciousness, she would make sure that she was so far away that he couldn’t be able to chase her down.

Andrea turned her back on the others and was about to dart away. However before she could take more then one step someone appeared in front of her, blocking her escape. She lifted her tear streak face to see her father…and she noticed that he was also bleeding. Her eyes quickly moved to stare at the ground; she was too ashamed of herself to look him in the eyes. “please….move” her throat was tight from her grief, and her words sounded strangled. However he didn’t budge, instead he began to close the gap between them, causing Andrea to take two steps backwards. Why wouldn’t he let her pass, didn’t he see that she couldn’t stay here. She could take it, she couldn’t look at Casion without wanting to die. It was impossible for her to serve the pack like she was…she had to leave. “GO AWAY!” she tried yelling at him, but to no avail. Before she knew it her fathers arms were wrapped around her and squeezing her tightly. At first all Andrea could think about was the smell of her fathers blood. It sickened her, she just wanted to get away…to run away.

And so at first Andrea squirmed, trying to escape her fathers embrace. “LET ME GO!” she shouted as she continued to twist and turn her body. “DADDY PLEASE!!” she was sobbing now, and her body was shaking uncontrollably. “please….” She whimpered, now she was pleading with her father. However it was to no avail, if anything his grip on her only seemed to tighten. And finally Andrea stopped struggling, realizing that they were not going to let her go. Her arms fell limply to her sides as she surrendered, and then just buried her face into his chest. “I’m sorry” her whispered apology was muffled by her fathers clothes, but she was sure he knew what it was she was trying to say. “I’m so sorry” it seemed that all she had done today was cry. Finally her hands moved from her sides to wrap around her dad. Salty tears poured from her eyes and showed no signs of stopping. Her father then began to speak, and showed no signs of pausing. “That thing that took over you, will never leave. If it’s here, its here because you willed it to be. Most likely not on purpose but all that anger and hate that you carry.” It was never going away, this thing was going to be there taunting her forever. The thought was enough for the crying to become more hysterical. It was her fault it was there. Miria always told her she had to learn to control her temper. And maybe if she had been more calm like Casion….this would have never happened.


When her father mentioned the blood on her hands and her body Andrea began to tremble again. She couldn’t look at it, the very thought was enough to make her nauseous. However what her father said was true, she couldn’t run away no matter how much she wanted too. She couldn’t be such a coward right? Besides, she had promised Casion that she wouldn’t leave his side, she couldn’t abandon him and leave him to run the pack all alone.” No, we’re all still here by your side no matter what. We will get thru this. You are my daughter and nothing will ever make me want to….stay away from you. I love you as I always have and always will.” Andrea sniffled as she was pulled tighter. She certainly wasn’t going to calm down as easily as before, but at least being held made her feel more secure. Right now he was the only thing keeping her from falling completely top pieces. Suddenly his grip on her tightened again, and Andrea glanced up at his face. Although he wasn’t looking at her anymore, his head was turned and he was looking off to the side. And to say he looked unhappy would be an understatement. Andrea then turned her head as well and saw two unfamiliar being standing there. When they had shown up she wasn’t sure, their presence had gone unnoticed due to her hysterics.


“You better listen real well to me MOTHER! Get the ******** away from my children. You had your fun with me and if you wanna see how your son turned out, then make any false move you want and I will turn your entire body into hell itself.” Mother? This was her grandmother….but…she was supposed to be dead wasn’t she? Andrea just stared at the women with confusion in her eyes. She had heard Miria and Mazoku speak about Tsukiko before, but they never had anything pleasant to say. All Andrea really knew that her mother had a strong dislike for the woman. And it was perfectly clear that her father didn’t think much of his mother either. Scion began to activate his elemental powers, but he was sure to protect her from the elements. However the woman did not seem impressed by her fathers display. She instead seemed more interested in talking to her granddaughter. And her words did not exactly make Andrea feel any better. In fact it only made her start to tremble again. She hated this, she hated being terrified of what she was or what she was capable of. “You may think it as a curse now because of what you did to your brother but, you are your fathers child, so it’s going to surface again weather you like it or not. They can only help you so much, I know every aspect of it. So, when you are ready to learn how to control it, then you can seek me out and I will come to you instantly. “ Was what she said true…could they not help her? Andrea didn’t know what to do…or what to believe. All she wanted was for things to go back the way they were. “you can’t control that thing alone and yours seems to be far worst then Scion’s ever could be. “

And then, Tsukiko said something that disturbed the poor girl even further. ” Your mother is not around so I can snatch control of your father whenever I want because of that thing. If you don’t learn how to control it with in a reasonable time, grandma will come and get you herself no matter who is in the way so be sure to except my invitation soon. “ It was a threat, and that only upset Andrea futhur. "Go to hell!!" she snarled instantly. No one threatened her or her family, but suddenly her eyes flashed red as her anger began to rise. That hot pit in her stomach seemed to become more intense and the voice in the back of her mind was growing louder, making Andrea realize what was happening. She quickly gasped and hid her face in her fathers chest, trying to calm herself. She couldn’t lose control again. However Tsukiko’s presence wasn’t making it easy. Basically what her grandmother was saying was that in the end she would fall into this woman’s clutches. And Andrea didn’t feel like it was a place she wanted to be. She wanted them, she wanted their power. And with that Tsukiko blew a kiss, turned, and disappeared from sight. That left Andrea and Scion alone to ponder her words. Life just suddenly became even more distressing…..

Massa turned to gaze at Scion and he seemed confident still after Scion had broken for the forest to try and reach the lake and she continued to watch. Ruby eyes were widened to the point of horror. She felt bad for the girl because it seemed that she was looking at Andrea and Casion as her own older siblings. Casion still seemed to feel confident and she gave him a soft smile as she took off. That was until Massa pointed up to Casion in front of him with a very strong feeling of fear, shock, and disgust plastered onto her face,” CASION LOOK OUT!!!!” She screamed out to try and alert him. It was too late because those claws of Andrea slammed into his body easily ripping threw flesh as if it were nothing at all. She gasped as both of them fell with Andrea keeping the higher ground on there drop from heaven to hell. Massa’s eyes went from looking up to slowly seeing Casion fall.

When he hit the ground then her body jerked and she closed her eyes tight knowing what kind of pain he would be going threw. She opened her eyes slowly when a smile came across her face. He still could fight? He was reaching up to grab her hands to remove her claws from his body. She knew Casion was strong, and she let out a sigh of relief. Everything quickly became revulsion when his hands dropped to his side and he begin screaming. He was in pain and she was killing him!!! She knew it wasn’t intentional but just hearing him scream out in such a way caused her to have mixed feelings. Her breathing elevated and she didn’t know what was happening to her but, she couldn’t just let him be killed. She didn’t even realize Ruby was screaming to be let go. That was when she heard the penetrating sound of fangs into flesh. She looked up in fright, and slowly her free arm raised behind her where she gripped one of her shields. Slowly but surly she was going to make a attempt to help but she too couldn’t keep up with Andrea’s speed but she couldn’t just let Casion…..die.

Luckily she wouldn’t have to enter the fight because Andrea reverted back to her normal self. This caused her to release the grasp on her shield. Massa was tear struck when she saw Andrea’s reaction. She was crushed. As any sister would be if they did something like that to there twin sibling. Massa eyes slowly begin to water feeling Andrea’s pain. That was such a tragic moment! It was interrupted though, as if they didn’t have enough trouble. Two women appeared one seemed to be normal but the other smelled like Brody’s group which caused Massa to glare at the woman. It wasn’t until the woman spoke that more amazement came. She was…..Scion’s mother?! What…..that had to be some kind of lie! Before anything Scion informed her that she should get Casion back. With that she quickly sprang into action appearing next to a body torn Casion. She lifted him up and even she was still taken back that he had been injured so greatly. She lifted him off of the ground to feel his warm blood hit her skin. This caused her to close her eyes in grief. Once after she gathered her own mental strength and turned back to smile at Andrea.” Don’t worry Andrea, your brother is tough, he will be just fine.” With that she sprang into action and took her leave. They weren’t that far from the camp but what would she tell them when she got there?

She couldn’t inform them that Andrea did this right? They would be terrified of her. She would let Scion speak of this. When she arrived and walked into the den they were all already starring. They knew one of the twins had been injured because they could smell the honey scent blood. They just didn’t know which one. Though when they saw who it was they were shocked. Miria pushed passed everyone and her eyes widened. She quickly ran and snatched Casion from her hands. Probably not intentionally but out of worry. She didn’t even asked what happened which was a good thing because she didn’t know what she would tell them. She just carried him to the back of the den and the elders surrounded him. Well, she would just have to wait. She looked down to ruby who was crying hysterically. She was ahead of her time but she was still a little girl so she wasn’t sure what would happen. They would just have to wait……

[King Kiyen Kurata]

===========================================
To live such a hard life,
and to truly find happiness
and settle would sooth any rageful soul.
That's how I felt when I found her.
Or rather she lured me to her. I could
have never thought to live a day without
her and yet he stole her from me......I will kill
him.
===========================================

Scion gave off a wild abhorrence level towards his mother. She came and spat off her threats and then she took her leave along with Divine? Mithaia’s daughter? Well, that was strange because he had never seen Mithaia with any other male Lycan. That wasn’t the threat here, the threat was that his children had become a target for Brody, and now his own mother and she knew the influence that she had upon him without Caska being around. Not only him but with Andrea out of control, who was to say that she could not control her to some degree either? Scion had a stressed out look upon his face. It was true what Tsukiko said, Scion could not help master it completely because he didn’t know what Andrea’s sudden rage besides common genetics came from. See Scion’s was much different, his came from the mistreatment of his mother but what could Andrea’s possibly be from? Until she found it out then that thing would surface whenever it wanted. Casion was easy to train because he was free from civil disturbance and erupting emotion like he had ever seen.

The amount of tranquility he had was easily on par with Caska herself. He could continue to utilize his advanced Lycan form with ease. Andrea was going to be tough because now that it was activated, getting it under control was going to be a huge problem that would be difficult to actually discipline let alone deal with. His red eyes seem to cease as his daughter was buried into his chest. This was the one time when he wished Tsukie was still alive. She was able to do so but now that she was dead, Tsukiko had grasped the most information about it as far as the rare woman trait but, something he did see was that when she injured Casion to such an extent and tastes his blood then she immediately changed back. Once again he was going to have to ask Casion to get involved. He felt bad for what happened to him already but he should know the importance. If Tsukiko get’s his hand on any one of them well then, this war was over and though the guardian seal would protect them. It did not activate when Andrea was in such a evil state despite Casion’s life being in danger which led him to believe that it did not activate towards any form of evil.

He looked down to feel Andrea’s body shaking, not with fear but with surging anger that was building waiting to erupt. Scion clutched her close and whispered.” Andrea, calm down. Do not let yourself anger so quickly. I know this anger because I hate that woman too. But if you let your anger consume you, your going to transform again and without being able to control it, you will give the true animal with in you everything that it wants.” After his words he looked down to her waiting for her to regain her composure and surprisingly she succeeded which gave him a sigh of relief. What is strange is he had no effect on calming her down despite him not trying he knew that he wouldn’t. Casion was only able to break threw. He would keep that in mind. One thing was for certain he knew how this would have to work out for not only Andrea but Casion as well. One of them or both of them would have to instinctly develop a completely new discipline and from scratch. Either she would have to learn how to channel her rage to him, or he would learn how to channel his serenity to her. He figured that’s what Caska was doing with her Animalism to him. He would think about that later when Casion woke up and check his thoughts. First thing was first, and that was the pack. There would be no doubt about there thoughts. He would have to actually lie about this one. Andrea had enough stress is. She didn’t need the pack being afraid of her. He held out his hands and warm water begin to flow all over her hands. It would have naturally been cold water but the warm water would work best. To wash away the honey filled scent. He reached to her hands and scratched them to open up some small cuts so they would not be able to tell the difference of hers and Casions blood. He could easily say that he held Casion which is why blood was upon him.” I see no reason to cause further conflict OK? So if the others want to know what happened? You can simply say we ran into Tsukiko. That will be reason enough. They know the extent of her power and if she wanted she could have attacked. She may have caused more damage if she actually did. First thing is first, we get back to the den and despite your brothers injuries, your both Guardians and Alpha’s so you both will still attend the meeting. You still have one hour left so with the elders helping him, he will not fully be healed but he will be just fine to go to the meeting and make it back. I need you too keep yourself in check during this meeting at all cost. After the meeting then you and your brother will come back to the den and we can discuss a course of action for the other you. Besides, we still have to figure out what’s going on with Artemis. For now lets head back and simply check on your brother.” Scion smiled at her. Things had just taken a turn for the worst but he had been in similar positions when his mistress was alive so, they would make it threw this one to. It would just take a little more time….and time they did not have.

What the hell could Tsukiko possibly want?! Of course they all knew she wanted to see the Lostran and Ragnar become one but what was it to accomplish? Sure the twins were strong for there age but, nothing out the ordinary had happened yet but then again, she always saw the bigger picture and Andrea's ascension seemed to be the start of it.

[King Kiyen Kurata]

I'm suffering from a bad case of Amnesia.
I can't remember who I was.
What I did.
Or where I even came from.
They took me In and I am Kyran.
I am grateful for the person I have become.
I'm not sure If I want to know who I really am.
To bad fate doesn't work the way we want it.

Kyran couldn’t help but chuckle at her confused look. She acted as if she didn’t know what he was talking about but it probably was too good of an opening not to tease him. That’s what he liked a lot about her, she was never ever going to be the stuck up prissy type like all the others that he was scheduled to marry, she was a free spirit and along with her other charming qualities, and her beauty, it that free spirit that he liked the most. Wait, what the hell was he saying, he couldn’t keep himself from being devoted from her beauty. This caused him to pull a grin to his face. He was quite fortunate that Lyra had not developed that annoying ability to read minds or he would have found himself being teased a lot more. Only if she really knew what he was thinking. Anyway, the thought of being kissed in front of millions of people had no anxiety with in this ones mind, he could care less what anyone actually thought but it acted as many things. For insurance on his power, added affection that he never could get tired of, and for those bastards, Lintain, Mind, and Casion starring at his woman. It was Lintain mostly because the way those disgusting eyes starred at Lyra made him imagine what he was thinking.

That dirty perverted mind b*****d fret for woman in a whole different way. A way that spelled out, violation. If Kyran saw him every look at her that way again, he would do everything in his power to erase his eyes from this and his next life. He was snapped from his thoughts of killing Lintain when the soft voice of Lyra caught his ear. He looked down to smile at her,” yeah I suppose they are, so let’s get back.” Kyran and Lyra soon made there way pass the doors that were opened from which everyone entered. He just smirked after looking at Lady Awa. Oh wow, he knew she hated meeting but she was overly pissed off at the moment and he couldn’t help but chuckle. He really felt bad who her next victim was. He had seen her blood draining technique but this new technique that was rumored threw the assamites was something to be fear. What happened when a person’s spirit got drained? Kyran never knew but was hoping to actually see it in action.

So many abilities but his own woman had a very dangerous one. See all but Brody and Novious could be pulled into her war. Yes, her power limited you too her level and fighting at her much stonger level was complete suicide. He felt as if she was unbeatable which is why he never had to worry to much when she actually got serious. He followed behind Lyra slowly with his hands in his pocket smirking at her question. Great minds think alike because he was going to ask the samething. Without even thinking Kyran spoke up,” Well, I suppose he is some kind of pervert and couldn’t wait to see the vampire women that are fighting in all of the MEN’S places. But it’s funny Mind, isn’t a serpent suppose to be some kind of devil like creature, not that I’m implying anything.”

Kyran couldn’t help it. He had such a big mouth but he was taught to always say what was on his mind or that’s the kind of attitude he had developed hanging with Lyra for years on end. See as a prince he was raised to be proper and noble so this felt more comfortable which is probably why he decided to do it much more often or didn’t realize when he was actually doing it. He just didn’t like Mind and probably never would because those green eyes were always upon Lyra, Mixa, and Lady Awa. It was annoying, and it said what kind of person he was but he still couldn’t discern Mind’s loyalties which is why, Lyra’s question was such a good one. He stood behind Lyra smirking and wrapping his arm around her petite waist just letting Mind know that she was his. He liked rubbing it in.” I guess now we wait for whatever other Methusalahs will show up, and then the canines to show up and Novious can get started but Novious I know your back in all but lets not make this a all night meeting please. I am very blissful that your back but let’s not use up all your time talk forever.” He chuckled slightly but after looking at Novious nonchalant face towards everything he just shook his head.” ……I was only kidding. You know as…a joke. You should really try smiling once in a while not that this is a time to smile but…….forget it.” At least Loki knew how to actually laugh once in a while, s**t!

Amnesia is what they call when a person forgets?
No,
I call it a change in reality.
Some people don't want to remember who they are.
I am one of those people who like my life.
I like the people in it.
I wont trade them for anything...even power.
My loyalty is unmatched.

By the time Andrea dared to look up again Tsukiko had already disappeared from sight. Andrea now understood why no one ever had anything positive to say about her grandmother. I mean, her father even went as far as to tell her that her grandmother was dead just to keep the woman out of their lives. That was probably one of their mothers wishes. Miria had made it clear in her stories that Tsukiko was one creature that rubbed her mother completely the wrong way. Caska had been appalled by how the woman treated others, Scion especially. Unlike their mother, the twins father had not grown up with caring parents. They had treated him more like some sort of science experiment then their child which was utterly disgusting. The anger that Scion had towards his mother was more than justified. Tsukiko was clearly a woman who thought about nothing but power and how to obtain it. There was no love or affection to be given, even if she was the woman’s grandchild. All Tsukiko saw her as was some sort of tool that she could use, however Andrea refused to be some sort of pawn in her grandmothers game.

Although there was still something that weighed heavily on the poor girls mind. Her grandmothers words continued to echo in the back of her mind. And Andrea didn’t know whether to believe Tsukiko or not. Was it really true, was she really the only one that could help her control this….this thing that was living inside of her. It was frightening to consider, because if it was indeed the truth then Andrea felt like she was screwed. If she wanted to be control of herself, then she would have to go crawling to the one person who was likely to exploit her abilities. Andrea was not a fan of her current situation. If she didn’t want to go crawling straight into the clutches of her estranged grandmother, then she was going to have to get control all on her own. However she had her doubts. She wasn’t sure if she could do it. Andrea had never been able to control her temper, so what made her think she could all of the sudden do it now? No one in the pack had a higher skill of animalism then herself, which really sucked a**. Animalism was the one thing that had been able to calm her father down according to what the elders said. That was how their mother managed to keep him in control of his temper. However Andrea couldn’t exactly use her own discipline on herself, which was unfortunate.

Suddenly her fathers grip on her seemed to loosen. And to be perfectly honest she suddenly felt a slight sense of panic rising up within her. For some reason she was afraid that if she let go something horrible was going to happen. For all she knew she could all of the sudden snap and go crazy again, or just fall completely to pieces and become a crying mess again. The amount of tears may have begun to dwindle, but they had not stopped all together. However she knew she had to let her father go, she couldn’t just cling to him forever and pretend that she wasn’t a freak. So she reluctantly unwrapped her arms from around his waist. Then suddenly her father held out his hands, and instantly warmth washed over her hands. She looked at them and saw the water flowing over them and washing away the stains of her brother’s blood. And once it was gone her took her hands and scratched the skin of her palm, causing blood to bubble to the surface and spill out onto her skin. What was he doing? Andrea couldn’t help but look at her father curiously. And that was when he began to explain.

” I see no reason to cause further conflict OK? So if the others want to know what happened? You can simply say we ran into Tsukiko.” Andrea couldn’t help but suddenly look distressed. She had been so incredibly torn up over what she had done to Casion that she hadn’t even stopped to think about what the pack would think of her. If they knew that she had been the one to do that to Casion then they would surely never look at her the same. The thought of being ostracized by her own pack was more than just depressing...it crushed her. She was a monster, and they had to lie about to keep people from being afraid of her. Andrea was going to have to pretend that she hadn’t maimed her own sibling, pretend that she hadn’t attacked her own kin…yea, that wasn’t going to be easy. “Yea…okay” Andrea whispered quietly agreeing to the plan. Her father then also told her that despite her brothers injuries and her…condition, they both were still expected to attend the meeting woith the Methuselah’s. Andrea immediately interrupted “B-but, what if something happens….what if I lose control again” she asked.

If she lost herself again she didn’t know what would happen, especially in the presence of the vampires. Lady Awa would probably not hesitate to try and kill her. And the likelihood of Andrea losing her temper was high…especially of Kyran was present. He had already made a joke about her crying once today already, and knowing him he was probably not going to let it go until he got a rise out of her. Although this time, he might end up biting off more than he could chew. Andrea just clenched her bleeding hands into fists and stared at the ground. She knew that it was pointless to complain, because she would be going no matter what she said. Right now they had to go back and check on Casion, another thing she was nervous about. How was she suppose to lie and tell these people Tsukiko did this to him when every time she looked at him she was probably going to have guilt written all over her face.

[King Kiyen Kurata]

===========================================
To live such a hard life,
and to truly find happiness
and settle would sooth any rageful soul.
That's how I felt when I found her.
Or rather she lured me to her. I could
have never thought to live a day without
her and yet he stole her from me......I will kill
him.
===========================================

Scion just looked down at his daughter when her question was asked about what would happen if she lost control and transformed again. Of course she would be nervous which is why this question did not come as a surprise. He was expecting it but it’s not like he didn’t have a plan. This is where her brother would come in, See another reason why he allowed there fight to carry on was so Andrea would recognize the pain. No matter how out of control she might get, sooner or later she would be able to force her way through the entity’s grasp and break free. Now, after hurting her brother and bringing him close to death, it should give her more of a fighting will to do so.” Don’t worry, you will not, at least not at this given moment. It’s because you have duties to uphold, you’re an Alpha, if you let yourself go out of control while currently on duty, you endanger your pack, your hurt your brother again, and worst could happen which is why your will as a Ragnar, as a sister, as a guardian should keep your other half in check. The angels choose you as a guardian knowing full well what could happen and yet they put there faith in you, just as we all still have in you. You just have to know that it’s aligned with in your heart.”

Sure, Scion made it sound so easy but it certainly was not. There was one thing that everyone was failing to forget. She was his daughter, so if he could muster up the strength to keep his in check and learn to control it, she would be no different soon enough and when she did learn to control it, the power she would be granted would be much stronger then what the other side of her was displaying.” So, let’s head back and check on your brother now. Mass should have gotten him there by now and the elders should be taking care of his wounds. He will heal fairly quickly with there help and when it is time for you three to leave. He should be in condition to make it there listening to what they have to say and make it back. One thing, if you are attacked, look out for your brother, he still may be weakened during the meeting and I cannot guarantee that Brody or Tsukiko will not attack. This time, it’s your turn to watch over him. Besides, to know that your back to you should bring a smile to his face when he opens his eyes. I want you to know that while you were in your other form, he was terrified. I could see it written all over his body, his movements, to think that he would not get his sister back, no, to think that he would lose his sister is Casion’s greatest fear. He has his strange ways of showing it but despite this fear, he did everything he had to do to get you back. I know for a fact that you would do the same. He’s your twin and I can’t pinpoint where your anger comes from but you both have a link. Share your feelings with him, do not leave it bottled up any longer or else that entity shall get worst. Lastly, weather you like it or not, until you learn to control it, your going to have to come to terms with it to keep it suppressed. Battle is one thing that you can bargain with it. It would not benefit it, if you were to jeopardize your position, talk with it and make it so you two come to terms. That’s the first step. Anyway, let’s head back.”

With that Scion would let his hand rub across her face to comfort her and then they would take there leave. He wouldn’t travel too fast; he would give her time to take everything in. Soon enough they would reach the din and Miria was waiting with a not so happy expression on her face. The first thing she did was run pass Scion and examines Andrea, scooping and checking her for injuries. She could smell Andrea’s blood all over her from the wounds. She pulled Andrea into a close hug. She was obviously worried after the state that Casion was In. She turned to look at Scion and he muttered,” Tsukiko, she wants them both.” Miria eyes seemed to widened in anger just at the name and suspecting Andrea was completely from her mind.” What?! That Lycan witch! It was only a matter of time before she came after them. I will inform everyone to be on the guard! By the way, Artemis has been giving Grea hell looking for you Andrea so please, DO SOMETHING WITH HER! With that Miria would inform the others and Scion turned to her with a smile.” Did I not tell you, everything would be OK? Now go check on your…….” Before he could say anything else he was trampled by something with white hair fur, or rather hair that he thought was fur and it tackled Andrea. After wiping his face and dusting himself off, he chuckled to see that Artemis had tackled her completely. Her, she was worried about losing control, that was impossible with Artemis child-like antics. Well, with that being present, Scion would tell Massa of the plan because if Miria didn’t try to kill him, he figured Massa had not told them anything, smart girl.

Suddenly her father said it was time to head back. Casion would still be attending the meeting with he, and she would have to be careful and watch out for him. If someone attacked he was not going to be able to fight at his full strength…obviously….thanks to her. She was going to have to look after him for a change, and Andrea only hoped that she would not disappoint Casion again. If she failed to protect him if they were attacked, then the outcome could be devastating. Her father then told her to talk to her brother, and share things with him…find the root of her anger. The only problem was…that Andrea wasn’t sure where her anger actually came from. They then both began to walk, her father moving slowly enough for her to take her time. She had a lot to take in and think about….yet at the same time she did not want to linger any longer. She wanted to hurry back to the den. A pit formed in her stomach as she anticipated seeing her brother…she was worried and needed to see him…yet dreading the moment at the same time.


The minute they walked into the den Miria seemed to just sense her, because the dark skinned lycan appeared out of nowhere and immediately began to inspect Andrea for wounds. The only thing she seemed to be able to find were the scratches on her hands and arms. She was probably expecting something terrible, especially considering the state that Casion turned up in. After she was done examining the girl Miria pulled her into a bone crushing embrace…which caught Andrea a little off guard. The two of them were always fighting, so sometimes Andrea forgot how much Miria actually cared about her. Miria’s grip loosened when Scion suddenly told her that Tsukiko wanted Andrea and Casion, and the anger that immediately filled the woman’s eyes was intense.” What?! That Lycan witch! It was only a matter of time before she came after them. I will inform everyone to be on the guard! By the way, Artemis has been giving Grea hell looking for you Andrea so please, DO SOMETHING WITH HER!

Andrea just nodded, for once not giving Miria any lip about anything. However the woman probably just brushed it off as Andrea being in shock or something after meeting her grandmother. Well, half of it was right…Andrea was still in shock. Although not for the reason that Miria was thinking of. Suddenly her father started to tell her that everything was fine and that is was alright to go check on her brother. At least that was what he was probably going to say before something appeared out of nowhere and smacked right into her. Before Andrea knew it she found herself lying on the ground with a certain white haired woman lying on top of her. To bad Artemis’ body did not match her mind, it would have made her tackles less painful. Hell Artemis was even taller then Andrea was, it was a travesty! Artemis just wrapped her arms around Andrea’s waist and gripped her tightly. That was when Grea showed up, looking completely exhausted as she just glowered at the white haired woman who was nuzzling Andrea’ stomach. “Well, she’s finally gotten the hang of walking” the blonde drawled “and I don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing” she muttered.

The girl pinned beneath Artemis actually cracked the smallest of smiles at the situation. It was hard to stay sad with Artemis around…even if she was no longer a dog. Her canine companion had always been her rock. Andrea would have always cried into her white fur for hours when upset, and the dog would never move an inch. Now as a human Artemis just seemed to lighten the mood a little. Andrea sat up and patted Artemis’s head affectionately; the white haired woman wasn’t smiling but instead seemed upset. She had probably worried the woman to death with her absence, pushing her onto Grea hadn’t really been fair. “Sorry Grea, I’ll keep an eye on her now” Andrea said, relieving Grea of her babysitting duties. The blonde seemed overjoyed, and then cried something about being free to take a nap. She probably hadn’t been able to sleep since being stuck with looking after Artemis. Although Artemis didn’t seem ready to look go Andrea managed to stand up, just pulling the weird woman up with her. She had to find Casion, whether she had Artemis physically attached to her or not. And it seemed as though Artemis was fine with that, as Andrea began to move she switched her grip from Andrea’s waist to her arm.

For where she stood Andrea spied Massa, and sitting at her side was Ruby….who appeared to be crying her eyes out. Another sharp pang of guilt plagued Andrea and forced her to look away from the two. She instead focused her gaze on the group of elders who stood just past them. Casion was likely to be found in the center of the group…and so Andrea quickly made her way across the den towards them, dragging Artemis along with her. She passed both Massa and Ruby without looking at them…she just couldn’t bring herself to look them in the eyes at the moment. One of the elders looked back and saw her approaching…his eyes quickly moving to her bleeding hands. “I’m fine” she spoke before he could even ask to look at them. Andrea then took a deep breath and in as calm of a voice as she could muster she asked about her brother. “ How is he?”
