The Library

[XxEnslavedNekoxX]

After gathering the medical supplyes November rushed back inside. She knew the young man was still here and she had to assist him quickly. Heading back to where he was November set everything down onto the ground. November checked him over and started the IV first. Pulling down a nearby picture to hang the back up on. Putting on a pair of rubber gloves she tied a piece of rubber around his arm, feeling around for a vien, she had seen people do this before..hopefully she would do it right, it was this boys only shot. Grabbing the needle she held his arm firmly and stuck it in, getting exactly what she aimed for.

Letting out a sigh of relief, November attached the IV to the needle and with some tape, made sure it wouldn't move. This would be sure to rehydrate the boy and give him some much needed strength. November then looked at the burns on his body..Grabbing some medicine she placed it onto a large cotton ball and gently began to clean his wounds. Afterwhich she applied something else to ease the pain. Wrapping it up in gauze to make sure it wouldn't get infected.

November sat and watched the young man, looking at his singed hair..she hoped he would be alright..she didn't want the first person she met to die, that would just..well that wouldn't be a good start to a new life now would it? Besides she was sure he had friends and family that would miss him. "Come on..you've gotta pull threw..I'm sure there are lots of people that would miss you if you died..Be strong..."

Upon reaching this warm looking building, Lyra hurried insides and shivered slightly, allowing the cold moisture on her skin and clothes to fall to the floor. Yes, it was raining, and somehow Lyra had managed to locate herself no where near a building when it began. Shurgging off her raincoat, she hung it on the coat hook near the entrance and pulled the sleeves of her light gray sweater over her hands.

The library was warm and buzzing with the sound of students milling around, waiting for the rain to stop or at least let up a little so they could rush back to their dorms. Lyra chuckled and quickly strode past all the boys and girls and behind a random shelf, blocking her from view of anyone else. Ah, she was finally alone.

Pulling a random book from the shelf, she opened it and after a second, quickly shut it and replaced it. No, too hard. She moved down a bit and plucked another book from the shelf. "...maybe this won't be so bad..."

Lyra tucked the book under her arm and found a comfortable chair and plopped down, tucking her legs under herself and she set the book on her knee and opened it. "Witchcraft in the early 1700s..." she mused to herself, smiling.

Cid would have resisted what she was doing for him but he was still too weak to move much. "I.. told you I didnt ca..re anymore," he said trying to breath and talk. "I've done something terrible a-and... I ne-eed to b-b-be punished for it," he gasped out as his eyes grew heavier and closed on themselves. Cid's heartbeat returned back to normal and he just lay still, his body still week aswell. The adrenaline rushed in his body and kept his worn-out lungs going.

There would have been an easier way to research on a subject, but Genbu was too old fashioned for anything related to technology. He opened the door with the thought of seeking out several books. However his search led him to the botanology section of the library. He began pulling mutiple books from the shelves and set them on a nearby table.

Sitting down after acquiring a large sum of books about plants. He pulled the chair out and sat in as he opened up the first several books while carefully taking down notes and specific key points in his little black book. He had kept at it for quite some time before closing this half-dozen books, and opening the next six books repeating the same process over and over again. Because of his quick thinking and supernatural gift, reading and writing down notes was a breeze.

But, apparently after reaching a dozen books, Genbu himself had sat back. He laid his head upon the top of the chair and looked to the ceiling for a moment before turning his attention back to his work.

"Don't be so stupid! I'm sure you've got lots of friends and a family that loves you! You should think of them and stop being so selfish!!" November couldn't help but scold him. Obviously someone cared about him and would be upset if he died.

She knelt there beside him, happy to see that the IV was doing its work. It was about halfway down already..he had been in really bad shape. "Besides you shouldn't talk until you get your strength back. Ontop of that everyone makes mistakes, taking your own life because of the mistake is just an easy way out of the problem. A real man would continue living and try to make amends anyway he can. I'm sorry to say but in my eyes, just killing yourself is a cowardly move..."

Of course no one had asked her what she thought but she gladly gave him a piece of her mind, she wanted to see that he would pull threw and not try to kill himself as soon as he was able to move again.

"If you can move later then I'll take you to the infermery. There you can rest and get better and possibly inform your friends where you are."  

[BlackWolf_in_Winter]

Cid just shook his head and looked into this girls eyes, though he was wolf now, his carpathian blood still blessed him with its presence. Allowing him to send images from his mind to her. "My parents are dead, and this you cant make amends for," he said as the images transferred from his brain to hers. The War and how he led human men to their slaughter, how he had killed innoscents and younglings when he was thirteen.

Images of him killing a child and its mother cause he needed to be stealthy. They all stormed his mind and kept coming and coming. Cid sat up slowly and his eyes became grey and emotionless as he dug deeper. The images showed him dying and being reborn again. He showed the recent war and how he had led a pack of other wolves to feast on the rebels and doing what he promised to do never again. The wolves didnt just eat the men but the women and children and Cid tried to stop them. He lost and watched as his own kind killed his people too.

The images stopped and Cid just stared blankly at November, "now... can you see my grief? My pain? My sorrow?" he asked as the tears came back but they were crimson, blood tears. He fell back again and closes his eyes as they fall. "I have betrayed my friends and the only one who loves me isnt here so I... could care..less if I died... aga.i.." he said slowly before losing consciousness.  

[XxEnslavedNekoxX]

"Mn..." November sighed as she looked over at him. Viewing all the images in her mind as if it where nothing more then a movie. Looking over at the wolf now as he lost conciousness. Taking a deep breath she began to stroke the wolf's furr as he laid there unconcious. Determined to get this man healthy again.

"Sorry but I still think that suicide is a cowards way out..then again I guess I wouldn't know to much.." November said to herself as she sat there and watched the wolf. Closing her eyes softly as she thought. "People live and people die..sometimes you have to kill in order to stay alive..sometimes you get pushed into doing something you don't want to do..either way..you can't make up for your mistakes if your dead.." November continued talking to herself as she sat there. Her mind going blank for a moment. November shook her head and placed her hands against the sides of her head.

Once that feeling of passing out had passed she dropped her hands down to her sides and looked over at him. Looking up as the iv stopped flowing now that it was empty. Unplugging the bag she picked up another one and plugged it in. After this bag he would probably be feeling even better. Atleast she hoped so..if he stayed that long that is. If he really wanted to kill himself he was going to do it weather she was here or not. All she could do was hope that he figured out the only way to make amends was to stay alive and fix it. Instead of dying.  

[BlackWolf_in_Winter]

The Black wolf lay still, passed out fro the blood loss and partially tired from his days of no rest. Cid could hear her words as he saw himself inside his head once more. Walking in the dark, searching for something he had lost. His will to do anything in the form of the wolf stood before him, piering in from the darkness in his head. Like a shadow it circled him and snarled as he watched with cautionous eyes. Quickly he placed his hands together in fists and tried to ignite a fire but failed. It angered him with in ability to summon his fire.

He stared at the wolf as it circled him until he finally grew tired of it and ran to the wolf, fists ready. It only dodged and pivoted his attacks as they continued to come one after the other. Cid was mentally wearing himself out fight his "will to Live" image of the wolf. Finally he stopped and fell to the ground, waiting for the wolf to eat him but still it only circled him. Then he realized he was fighting a loseing battle, one can never totally lose the will to live and it took the woman nursing him and this wolf to help him realize that you must embrace your will to live because in the end that is all you have. Cid remained unconscious and lay still as the black wolf, his body warming up and the pain he would have felt if woken again fading.

((sorry for not posting for so long. Lost my connection for a while >.<))

November smiled as she lightly placed her fingers on his arm. Feeling the warmth comming back to him. "Good he's fighting it.." November smiled and stood up. Walking away from the wolf that laid there and heading over to the books. Looking around curiously she took out a big book that held the records of all sorts of different speicies.

November stepped back to where the wolf laid and set the book down on the ground. Opening it up and looking threw it. She hadn't seen a creature like this before. Most of the creatures she had witnessed in her life have been mindless monsters only out to look for blood. She knew very well thats not what this boy was.  

[BlackWolf_in_Winter]

(its fine,I've ben working really late hours and not gettin home till about 12 or 1 in the morning, so sorry it took me awhile too)

Cid slightly opened his eye, having regain a bit of strength to do so. He tried to move his paw but it only twitched. His strenght wouldnt be back for awhile but the little bits he would use to at least stay conscious. He remembered the last time he felt so helpless and so tired. Though he was tired he couldnt sleep and even the small hunger that grew in his stomach bothered him.

Cid noticed November was into the book about creatures. He figured she was looking for his species and if he could have, he would have laughed but only managed a smile. The word slipped through his mouth, "Carpathinan". It was a race mistaken for vampires with the ability of a vampire and a wolf. He was one of the last remaining few left. He was a carpathian, but since the blood moon, he has become the wolf fully now.  

[XxEnslavedNekoxX]

November was startled abit and fell back when she heard him speak. She hadn't noticed him wake up. Pushing herself back up she blinked and laughed rather nervously. "Eh heh Carpathian. Yes of course I knew that!"
She was lying of course but was sure he was still to tired to care much.

Now that he was finally awake..and though he was in wolf form, she could probably carry him to the infermery. Closing the book she set it on a nearby table and walked over to Cid. Kneeling down infront of him and scratching his head with a smile on her face.

"Well I'm glad your awake. I can take you to the infermery now so you can rest in a more..well..sterle spot. Besides atleast there I could have easier access incase you need something. What do you say? Want me to take you there?"

November continued to smile as she pulled back a sleeve and exposed her frail looking arms, "Oh and don't worry I'm sure I can carry you, see?" November tried flexing a muscle but to no avail. "Eh..well..muscles aren't that important anyway...I don't need them anyway."

(No worries its all good ^^ Life is important afterall)  

[BlackWolf_in_Winter]

Cid understood her laughter all to well. "Well if you really knew that then you'd know I am fully healed now and only need rest, but I am stubborn so.." he said laughing abit as he tried to rise once more. He only rose to a half-standing position as his weakened legs started to shake abit and gave out once again. The black wolf fell slightly hard but laughingly at that. He hadnt known the last time he'd felt this weak but he did remember how much he hated it.

He looked back to November, his eyes carried a slight pain in them. Something he'd been missing. Something he'd been sure he had lost but its name was lost from war and sorrow. Then he closed his eyes and lay as the wolf against the cold floor. Fighting his own feelings of depression and sorrow. Again he opened his eyes and looked to november, hi eyes turned from a golden bright color to chocolate brown.

((yes it is lol, stupid bills to pay for ))  

[Melfina rose]

Asmeria walks inside. She walks to white magic section and opens the door to the millions of books inside. She grabs at least fourteen books. Then she goes to the combat room of the library and get twvele sword books. She sits a chair or two away from a guy. She cracks open the books and begins to study hard.  

[XxEnslavedNekoxX]

Novermber blinked as he laughed at his own misfortune. She couldn't understand why he would do such a thing unless it was a form of sorrow. Atleast he was doing much better. Smiling softly November reached out and began to scratch the wolf on the head.

"I really don't understand why someone would laugh at his own misfortune but whatever makes you feel better right?" She blinked and watched his eyes change color. Moving her head to the left abit as she continued to pet him. That smile returning to her face after a few moments.

"Do your eyes always change color or is it something special that happens?" November questioned. She didn't know much about other races that weren't human or vampire so she was naturally curious.
(Yeah I hate bills @_@ It sucks so much...)  

[BlackWolf_in_Winter]

Cid let his eyes close and his body relaxed to a nice lay. "Well first of all, I laugh at myself for all my misfortunes," he said laughingly. He pressed his head into her palm and moved his ear between her fingers. "Well secondly," he said laughingly, "my eyes change to a brown color when im happy, golden when im sad and crimson when Im hungry or pissed off."

He smiled warmly and let his eyes slightly rise to look across the room. 'Wow, one minute I was going to let myself die, and the next im fighting to live,' he thought to himself with a smirk growing on his face. "Well life finds a way," he whispered as he moved his head into her palm again. "So lets here about you," he asked looking up to november, "what has your life been like?"

(exactly, just pains of life I suppose lol)
