Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Thieves..." She paused agaian. "Aren't exactly the pinnacle of evil. Generally have their motivations, and I havent met many thieves who steal for the fun of it... Ok, maybe one or two, but they were jerks anyways." She thought back to the past few years... I've done much worse than steal...

Slipping farther into her slouch, her neck was starting to ache from leaning against the bed. Deciding to counter his offense, instead of simple evasion, she popped out another question. "And I still don't know why you want to become an angel... is it because you want it, or because people want it from you?" Alar...

VERY startled by being lifted, Shae pulled the covers up around her, and turned on her side. Looking at the boy at the far end of her bed, she blinkly slowly, and stifled a yawn. "Well... I don't really think there are evil deeds, everyone has their reasons...." She murmured, thinking back to her own 'excuses'. "Honestly, there is no clear cut 'right and wrong'. That is all nurture. Good and evil are just names applied to concepts that are far too complex for any being to really understand. LKike eternity. Yeah it goes on Forever but how long is forever, really? It's just too big for us."

Shae took a breath, and tried getting to the point. "Things aren't that easy, and there are a million different circumstances which can cause a situation to turn out like it does. This is what i believe..." What I need to believe.

"Except of course, burning down a nun run orphanage, and painting pregnant mothers with their blood. That's just inherently evil." She joked, trying to lighten the conversation. Can't sleep yet... night...ma... she furiously thought, and rubbed some sleep from her eye, trying to wake up her brain... But the bed was so warm... "I came here to... get some breathing space. I felt too confined in the city."

"I'm not that tired" She lied, "I'm a night person." She grinned. That much WAS true at least. Her ears perked at his last words, and was filled with curiousity. and, like a child, the question popped out before she could stop it.

"Why?" she suddenly felt full of energy, most of it intent on figuring him out. "I mean... uh... how?" She couldnt think of another way to phrase it that was less rude. She was also painfully aware that she was breaching her own personal rule, of asking too many personal questions, and being a total hypocrite. On the other hand, her curiousity demon had been awoken!

Shae looked into his eyes, barely focusing, but she couldn't sleep yet! Not while he was here! Her body begged to differ as it started slowly shutting down, preparing for rest. Struggling to maintain eye contact, she tried speaking again. "Keep your secrets then." She said sarcastically and playfully.

"Go sleep angel boy." She mumbled, half of her face sunk into the pillow, she reached over with a heavy feeling arm, and gently 'push/prodded' him to go to his bed laid out on the floor next to hers. She grinned sleepily, and against her brain's better judgement, fell into a doze, snoring softly....

As long as I don't dream...

A dream sequence began in a dark space, like someone had thrown a bucket of pitch over everything. Nothing was visible.

A spark started in the distance, growing into a swirling flame. It was moving, like her feet. Running, always running. then the noise came.

Screaming children, and she could stop it. But instead she laughed, hearing word echo in her mind...

Oh, why are we so sad?
Are we feeling hurt by their evil lies
and all those empty words?
We are thirsty for payback?
What would we like to do with the town?

Not ME! NOT ME!!! She screamed. Or tried to, opening her mouth, no sound came out, she simply ran faster, but in the wrong direction (towards the disaster "Away! Run Away!"). And the faster she tried to run, the slower her legs moved.

Shae tossed in her bed, mouth moving, no sound escaping...

...and every man gets what no man deserves

No... NO! She slowed to a stop, seeing the horrors... Just a little farther she promised herself, their animated corpses howling at her from the netherworld.

"THIS ISN'T WHAT I MEANT! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!!"

Tongues of flame whipped her, she could smell burning hair, they still howled "YOU!"

"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGH"

Shae fell of her bed. "s**t..." she muttered, wiping her brow of cold sweat. then she rememebered that she wasn't alone tonight.

First, she panicked, then realising the idiocy of THAT Shae thought. Think, think, THINK! THEN she realised the idiocy of THAT, and fought. There was a strange man, in her room, covering her mouth, and he was telling HER to be quiet?

oh no WAY.

Opening her mouth as wide as she could get it, shed bite down hard on whatever her teeth could catch, a flap of skin, as thumb, ANYTHING! She caught the edge of his hand, as he had misplaced it, overesitimating her height, his hand had gone a little high. Powerful jaws clenched, her canines sinking into his hand, she could soon taste his coppery blood.

She then pulled her arms up, and knowing right off her arms were too short to reach his face, she grasped at his arm, and started scratching and slashing at his sleeve, trying to get to the veins near his hand. Her 'claws' were shredding fabric at an alarming rate. Soon...

Shae snarled, a growl forming deep in her throat, her voice was now an octave deeper as it reverberated with her growls. "Oh him?" She sounded cocky as she slowly circled the man with weapons, getting between him and Granu. "The only way he'll make this fair, is if he's on your side."

Suddenly switching from a defensive to an offensive, Shae lunged at him, claws at the ready. Her thoughts whirling, she didn't even have time to process the information she was being given, she just stored it int he back of her mind for later examination. She fought like an animal, wild and unpredictable, she had no traceable movement, and was impossible to predict.

With about 4 days to go, Shae's nails were harder, and her teeth seemed to be getting longer. Her eyes focused in the darkness, making them glow, and as she moved her left hand darted out, going strait for his solar plexus, the other moving behind her to give some momentum. Forcing half of her body weight and all of her power into the blow, she hoped to dear god he wasn't wearing a lot of armour under his clothes.
