"HEY! hey wait just a second!" eliot barked. whta in the world was wrong with this thing.
Not wanting to fall behind she padded after the chattering ball of fur.
"Who are you? whats going on? why can't I find the slaves?...Hey are you listening to me?" Eliot was beginning to get anoyed...at least Warren she could understand.

Tarathiel smirked at those who left. "Good choice, you get to live another day." He turned his eyes towards those who were encircling him now, "Bad choice, your doom is nigh." He waited until they wer close enough together that they would be easier to kill. Quicker than anyone would have suspected possible, Tarathiel Charged the person directly in front of him, and cut him into two well defined pieces, and then leaped onto the man beside him from the right side, just above the shoulder, he could have struck a slower opponent, but his game was speed and endurence. Speed will win if a strike can be placed well enough before endurence became important. A sword to the throat, ceasing the breathing. Using this body as spring board, Tarathiel used it to leap at the person standing next to him, but instead of landing on him, he merely landed beside. A qquick turn broght both of Taratheil's blades across the man's face, onto the next one, who felt the continue of that initail turn, and so on down the line. The soldiers barely could adjust their weapons to meet the charge, often enough, meeting the swords first, and nothing after that.
The men fell to the ground in a fury of blood and limbs, as anything that got too near to that drow became a fine mess. within a few seconds, perhaps eight, the remainder of the loyal guards who wer not near Dimitri either ran, or died.
Dagger watched everything, quite amused. Diamond watched Dagger, and Jiscal kept an eye out for any one foolish enough to come to these doors. Orko seemed detached from the events, like he had seen it all before... Which, was partially true. Tarathiel did enjoy so much being a blender.

Gees, yes! He was listening, but he wasn't responding. I told you before where all the slaves were. Hmmp. He turned a corner, ran down some stairs, and turned left. Sudden;y, they were in a huge room drapped with silk curtains, the floor scattered with a multitude of pillows and blankets and sheets.
Morelle stopped as if to say, "See? No one here. All gone."
She cocked her head, gave a little pout. Then she round housed him in the forehead, knocking him flat on his back. "No. No, I don't think so." She bent, picked up on of the swords rhat had gotten tossed aside in the fray. It was covered with it's owners blood. She turned it over in her hands.
"You know, you did so much to try and break me. But none of htat is near as painful as what I am going to takea away form you, before you die." She raised the sword to strike..e

Eliot came to a sudden stop. Where were all of the slaves? she could smell them alright, but they were obviously gone.
"But...But they were here! Just yesterday!" If a wolf could cry she would have. There was no where else to look. No where else to go. 'They're all gone, every last one..."
She couldn't handle the pain. her mother, her father, most of her pack, were all gone. Her body shook, her eyes flashed to grey. She lost control of her self, and she as once again within her human body.
She had no where to go. She was a lost wolf, with a fracture past and no future.
She sat on the floor, and cried for the first time since she was a pup.

"Good..then lets go back and see your father before he comes looking for us. he was supposed to be my backup in case you tried to gut me."
A small chuckle at that.
"Or woudl you like to test your new skill out a bit with a friendly sparring. I won't do anything but defend, see how well you can get past or even push me back if you'd like."

"Gut you? Please...I think you'd toss me down all too easily before I even got close enough to gut you..." Though she didn't laugh, she was still a little dismayed over the deal, her brain working to give her all kinds of ideas to pull this off. Then a raised eyebrow to him. "I don't relish the idea of taking you on anywhere but in the bedroom where I know I stand a chance of winning without being offered the help to accomplish that victory." Quite proud of herself for that too, after all, no one else was sharing that bed with Malik now were they? A point up to her bandana. "Does that start now or tomorrow." Yes, half stalling.

A small chuckle, and a shake of his head.
"You'd be surprised what fury and adrenaline can make you capable of doing. and as for your bandana..that will start tomorrow. and the bedroom..you are the undisputed champion there, Piper."
Heading back up to the main floor.
"I'm sure your father wants to know your calmed and not on a slave killing spree down here."
Simon watched them both. He coudln't beleive what he saw. Malik was allowed to..touch..piper like that? certainly not what he remembered. Malik had always been so suberviant, docile like a beaten dog might..unless told to kill. then he was a vicious, cold, killing machine. and a damn effective one. Seems his daughter and the others were completely correct. this piper and malik were far different than the ones that broke him to teh collar so many years ago.

Damn.
He had not always been a very..caring animal. But having spent so much time with his mistress, who was at times quite emotional, he had grown somewhat of a soft spot.
Rand, at the moment, was very distraught with the disappearence of her first born, Cymarron violently so. Which ws why Morelle so diligently searched for the twins. But over the years, he had left home for long periods of time, helping this person and that if they tweaked at his conciousness. the she-wolf was one of them
His ears drooped, and he nuzzled the wolf on the cheeck. See? it's not so bad is it?

Eliot's tears stopped. The little animal was nuzzling her. It made her feel better, like she had family again, like she had someone who cared.
"Thank you." She whispered, and nuzzled him back. "Things are a bit rough...i guess i have a lot to learn abotu controlling myself. I'm not used to being away from home."
The little animal indeed was making her feel better, he was kind. She had always been more comfortable around animals then she had humans, they were so much more understanding. Actions and smells were important, and rarely lied. Humans used words, and they...always seemed to be twisted, and unreliable.
Eliot calmed down. She took a deep breath, and lived in the body of a She-Wolf once more.
"I need to get out of here," She whined, 'I cannot be caught here again, I have little time left in this body."

Almost instantly, Morelle's ears perked up again and he barked happily. Running back and forth, he chittered, intent to have her follow him again.
He could, of course, go just aobut any where without people noticing him. Course, he was just better at it...smaller...and had tht little knack for turning up whereever he wanted.
He bounced up and down. This way, come on now! Tail in the air, he shot off down the hall, deeper into the castle's bowls. He twisted down winding staircases, through doors that for some reaosn were hard to see, even for an animal. Half hidden, narrow choridors spead off in all different directions, and still the tavled farther and father, until it seemed that they were no longer in the castel at all, but winding beneath the city streets.

Eliot laughed the way wolfs do, a low weazing from deep within her throat. Now maybe she couldn't understand the small creatures titterings, but his body language was quite clear.
She followed him willingly, happy to be running, stretching her legs. She ran beside the fox-squirrel for a time but when the path grew narrow she was forced to fallow behind, and slow down in fear of scraping her shoulders against the rough stone. The air hear smelled different....were they below the streets? they were no longer in the castle? She would have to remember this rout.
Periodicly she purosely bummed her body against the walls surrounding her, she would leave her scnet, and follow it if there was a need to.
Now where was this squirrel taking her?

The air became ominious, and Morelle was starting to regret comming this way. The walls looking damp, and the smell was putrid. He slowed to an almost crawl, carefully watching where stepped and the halls he turned down. This place had not been like this the last time he was here.
Soon, they found themselves in what looked like a dead end hallway, with three doors on each side. Morelle took aobut five steps into this place, before he took a frightened look around, and started to back up.
"Oh, what fun. Meilikki, you've brought me guests. We will ahve some fun now, won't we?" Oh yes, a wolf child. How delicious.

Eliots eyes widened in surprise, and she stood stock still. She smelled danger everywhere. She saw three doors in front of her but she had no idea where to go. Smells where engulfing her, confusing her. It was like drowing, she couldn't tell up from down! everything smelled the same but everything smelled different.
She noticed Her friend was scared to, he kept bakcing up. That was not good, she had thought he knew where he was going, was he in the same boat as she was? Sh ebegan to whine.
She had been a wolf for to long. She was loosing her grip. The disadvantage of her ability's were that when she exausted her self, she could not keep a hold on her wolf body. Sometimes it lasted longer than others but usually it was only a few hours or so. She calculated it must be well over two hours now.
Her vision was swimming, her head was heavy and dizzy. She lost her Hold very suddenly, and colapsed on the floor.

A chuckled, dry and raspy, flooded the corridor. "Oh, how wonderful."
Morelle stood over his frends body, hissing and growling at the the stange man swathed in scafs and cloaks. At elast, morelle thought it was a mn. he couldn't tell! He couldn't smell if this person was male or female.
He paused for a moemnt in regards tot he creature. But only a moment. his hooded head seemed slowly to turn to regard the girsl body on the floor. The little foxsqirrel then lunged at him, but the creatures little teath couldn't get through his tough layers. he swung a bony hand, caguht the little yellow animal and flung it against a wall, where it collapsed. "Such unreliable creatures, aren't they?"
He bent down, ran that bony finger along the wolf child's jaw, down her neck. "Isn't that right, Eliot?" Then suddenly, without any of the gentless that he seemed to have displayed, he reached out and grabbed a fist full of hair and hood, standing up and dragging the woman into the second of the six doors.

Eliots eyes slowly opened. Her vision was fuzzy, she couldn't make sence of anything. She tried to move hre limbs, but she couldn't. Her head hurt but she couldn't figure out why...
She groaned, her stomach felt like it was of fire, she wanted to throw up. What had happened? she remember the most disgusting smell....and something...
Her friend! where was her friend! the little fox squirrle had gone! She was afaird for him, fox squirrels were very loyal, and never would have left her. Even if he had known her for a very short time, fox squirrels were just like that. And they were fierce....what had happened to him?
Her eyes finally focused. She couldn't make sence of the...person before her.
"What is going on?" She forced the words past her lips. It hurt to speak.
