Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shalendra smiled as she kissed Mikhail, "I'm glad you're back as well love" she said as she hands rested on his toned chest looking up into his eyes, she was so small because of her being a fairy, the top of her head not even level with his chin. She wrapped her arms around her love still trying to get used to him being back, she had spent so long training to get him back that she had almost gotten used to it, but now that he was back she would have to make sure she trained so she wouldn't lose him again. She suddenly began to feel weird, she looked up and saw that a red full moon was rising, she knew that this meant all of her people would be changing form, taking on a whole new look, a whole new body. Shalendra looked back to Mikhail, "Love, there is...", "There! We must punish her for this treachery!" a man shouted as a net was thrown around her. She was reeled in quickly and a knife held up to her throat as they backed up quickly, "If you wish her no harm then do not follow us!" the man shouted at Mikhail. They disappeared just as quickly as they had appeared, it was the same people who had been seen wandering the castle, but they did not belong to those people. They took her far away deep within the mountain regions, further then most human's dared to go for fear of the dangers. They made it to a large clearing with a city built out of a large tree at its center, they took her out of the net and kept a hold on her, throwing her into the dungeon deep within the earth under the tree city. "You will remain here till you have learned loyalty to your people" the male said to Shalendra as the blood moon shown brightly through every nook and cranny. Soon every person in the city including Shalendra began to glow with a silver light, their bodies changing drastically, the only thing that remained the same for Shalendra was her hair color, other then that she looked completely different. She curled up in a corner as the males left, most of her magic had been taken, but she had enough to send a small message to Mikhail, asking him to find her. She sat and waited for 5 years, knowing her city was hard to find, though she had lost hope of being found 2 years ago, but she would never let her people brainwash her into thinking that vampires were evil beings. Her hair was much longer, her body thin from the lack of exercise and food, with the change of the blood moon and the poor care, she didn't even think Mikhail would know her when he saw her. Shalendra curled up on the floor in her rags and went to sleep, dreaming of when her love would find her.
((I was getting bored so I thought it was Shalendra's turn to have something happen to her, make it difficult for Mikhail, I don't want him realizing who she is till after the escape, sound good?))

Shalendra was unconscious when Mikhail found her, she was badly bruised and filthy, the five years she had been in the cell in the city of her people had not been kind to her. Any part of her that might have held her original scent was covered by the dirt and grime, her white hair was dulled and almost looked brown from all of the dirt, she needed to bathe and be fed some proper food soon, her body was extremely skinny, to a point where her skeleton could be seen under the skin easily. They had barely fed her, only giving her water to keep her alive, they had been trying to force her to forget her love for the vampire, but she knew no matter what they did she could never forget. She groaned as she laid in his arms unconscious, she slept so much during the day and night because she barely had any energy, the only times she was awake was when they were either torturing her or giving her some sustenance for the next week.
There was a loud noise as the city alarms were heard, but they had gone far enough from the city they wouldn't be able to track them till dawn, the noise causing a slight headache made Shalendra begin to wake, her eyes barely open as she tried to look around but was too weak, "Wha?...." she asked barely whispering. She couldn't lift her head to see who was carrying her through the thick forest, panic started to set in as her heart tried to pick up speed, but it too was weak, and if she did not calm down she would most likely die from a heart attack.
((I think I shall have her have a slight hard time remembering some things, like who she is and such, she hasn't forgotten that she loved a vampire, but that is all that she remembers because of her peoples powers))

After being bathed and dressed, Shalendra had calmed down, once Mikhail laid her in the bed she looked at him carefully, "Thank.....you....." she barely said as she laid there. She looked at his face, something about him seemed familiar to her, from all of those years of torture and dealing with her peoples powers, though she never forgot her love for the vampire, everything else was muddied badly. It would take time and effort to clear up her memories, "You.......have......we.....met?" she asked him as she tried to lift her hand but couldn't even get it off of the bed.

Shalendra looked at Mikhail as she thought to herself, "I......my name.......I.........can't....remember" she said as her eyes began to droop a bit, "They........took......my......memory" she said as she passed out from exhaustion due to the lack of food and energy. Her dreams were blank, nothing revealed itself to her just yet, but if he knew to stay with her, that she would get her memory back.

Soon the sun rose above the horizon, the curtains haven been closed, little light filtered in from the edges, Shalendra groaned a bit as she woke, coughing a bit as she laid there. The bed was extremely soft, it was comforting for her as she moved her eyes to look around, seeing Mikhail asleep she remained quite, just staring at him, feelings of longing building up in her. She began to hum to herself, a small tune that she used to hum while in the bath when she used to still be stuck in the wheelchair and Mikhail was helping her. She continued to hum the little song, she didn't know where the tune came from, but she knew it in her heart as her song.

Shalendra heard Mikhail fall out of his chair, she stopped humming as he stood and then looked at her, "Are you alright?" she asked, it was a bit easier for her to talk after getting some proper rest, though her body was still very much weak. Her stomach growled a bit, bringing a small blush to her cheeks, but she was still curious as to why Mikhail had fallen out of his chair, did he just slip out or did something wake him up.

Shalendra breathed in the wonderful aroma of the food that was wafting towards her, her stomach growling louder as she sat there in the chair, "That smells so good, I've missed this food" she said without realizing it. She was too focused on the food that she didn't notice that she recognized the smell of it, that the reason her mouth watered was because she knew its taste, she was just too hungry to notice anything really. She tried to grab at a fork but couldn't even really lift her hand to it, her body had been starved for too long that it had no strength, sighing she sat there, the typical look she always had when she knew she needed help but was reluctant to ask, Mikhail knew the look for she always showed it when she need help getting around her house.

Shalendra looked up at Mikhail, confused at what he called her, but didn't say anything as she allowed him to feed her, she was too hungry to care what he called her. Not a minute later she couldn't eat anymore, because of five years of starving, the smallest amount of food filled her, she relaxed a bit as she then looked back to Mikhail, "What was it that you said earlier? It sounds familiar" she asked him as she was confused by it.
