I walked for hours through the forest. I ventured into an area I hadn't seen before, but the more I looked around the more I felt I had been there before, and the more that urge tugged at me, until I happend upon something that make me stagger when I saw it. The manor....MY manor....ancient home of the Swiftblades.

"Your mine Scarlet!All mine!You can't get away that easily!......Scarlet....Scarlet....kill them....kill them all!They belong to you!Their souls are yours....do it now...now....Now!"
"Never!"Scarlet awoke to the sun rising over the forest.Realising that she had fallen asleep under the oakk tree,she let her head rest on the rough bark.Her head was killing her.The nightmares kept on coming,but why?

I walked cautiously into the decaying manor and found my way into my father's lab, where I had spent most of my short childhood. I walked slowly through it, drinking in the sights, rusted inventions, items that would surely turn to dust at the slightest touch. After a minute of walking I was in the back, with the ancient vaults, stored within where the most powerful items aquired by my ancestors, being the ruthless tyrants they where most where used to dominate, or destroy. How was I supposed to open them again?

Scarlet began to get up when she heard some slight rusling in the forest and took a step before she felt a gun pushed into her back.
"Your coming with us Bloody Rose!"

I inspected the vault carefully, a basin with a knife in it, duh. I walked over and picked up the knife, I pulled back my sleeve and, taking a breath, I slowly sliced open the back of my arm, letting my Swiftblade blood drip into the basin, obviously they wouldnt let just anyone in. I might need a tetinous shot, suddenly I heard a loud grating sound, the vault creaked open by itself, dust floating out into the air. I jumped in and riffled through the the items, all maner of weapons and armor, what to take? Suddenly I saw something that made my jaw drop, that was impossible, on a pedestal stood a sniper rifle, I had been the only Swiftblade alive for over two hundred years, the technology for such a hi-tech piece of machinery would have been impossible back then, and the dust on it had only now settled, that was impossible too, it was new. And if it was new someone had to have recently come in, but only a Swiftblade could have gotten into this chamber. I walked over and picked up the gun, sleek, an item of immense power, reinforced with magic. No, my whole family had died....this was impossible...impossible!

Well, I am on, for a while, seeing as I am dealing with Dual-enrollment for my first time, I will be on an hour every monday wednesday and thursday. At least I am getting on...
I sit swaying oon the bus. For the past time I had been researching, and balancing a job. I was an M.E. at the city morgue, and hated the cops, all corrupt. I had researched the Wolfgang family and found out he had once gave birth to a child, whom no one knows who he actually is. I also had gone out of my way to buy a snub-nose .38 and a bigger Beretta for my protection. Both stayed on me, even in the morgue, and it seemed they would be useful here soon. Two people sitting in front of me get up, and sit in front and back of me. I shuffle in my seat, and eye the road. Two more stops, and I was home free. If I got that far. They stiffen and produce two Gov-Issue guns. I stare at them. I didn't know what those I had met, or Scarlet, if that was really her true name, knew. But I knew enough to stay out of their gun sights. My stop comes, and I slowly motion them to follow. I lead them into the allyway next to my apartment building and give them my Beretta. They laugh shakily then put theirs away. I crack my neck and kneel. I then grab my snub-nose from my boot position and blast them. I double tap both, or Two Shots for Good Measure them, then grab all the weapons from the ground, placing mine in it's good old position in it's holster. I proceed to my apartment.

Cookies for Axel for at least trying to get on!!!!!
Scarlet put her hand up in the air but the but of the gun raised to her neck where she could see it.She couldn't see who was pointing it but heard his voice.
"You know what Bloody Rose?These bullets were made especially for you.They are made of pure gold and were dipped in Holy water too."
Scarlet stiffened and struggled to get away.
"Oh no we don't!You and I have some business to attend to before I give you to the Feds!
Scarlet felt shear terror grip her face as a hundered voices began to laugh at her.She was so vunrable!

I realised I was on my knees, jaw agape, sniper rifle in hand. I had a living relative. How? I definately didnt have any offspring, unless someone was hiding something from me. Suddenly, before I could think it through, my hand buzzed, my body went cold. Scarlet was in massive danger. Hefting my new weapon on my shoulder I opened a seeking portal, placing it a mile off from her position. As I arrived on the seen I shuddered and took aim. I aimed for my targets ear, what an amazing scope! I breathed out, and pulled the trigger. To my surprise the bullet hit my target direcly on my cross-hairs, and whent through him and the naxt guy and the next guy. I gaped for a second before getting a hold of myself. I threw up a tight circle of fire directly around Scarlet, too high and bright for them to see her. I rushed in and laid about myself with magic and bullets.

I sit down in my apartment. "Vincent! Get over here!" I run to see my caller. My next door neighbors. I grunt and soon they leave. I sit down and put in some Trapt while I do some more reseach. I also sit down to make some dinner. I call up my assistant at the morgue, saying I won't be there tomorrow. He sighs, then agrees. I was going out to do some more bookwork on my family. I look at the picture of Mr. Wolfgang-Rose, and his wife, I had stolen it from Scarlet, and sigh. He was my supposed father. But I could not belive it. No, he could not be my father. I set it down and sleep. My next few days would be hard.

Scarlet weaved the flames higher and hotter until the shells started going off sending bullets scattering and the soliders holloring in pain.A couple grazed Scarlet as she ducked and another hit Drako in the leg.
I know that it's short but this week has been a mess for me.

As I got shot through the calf I fell in the middle of battle, I looked through the pain, almost enough to make me black-out, what where they putting in that stuff now days?! I threw fire and nature all around me, men exploded and where strangled my plants all around me. I couldn't keep conscious, I threw up roots three meters in diamter around myself, creating a cocoon, where I then passed out from the pain.

It was at lest an hour hour before the batte was broken up and manggled bodies was scattered everwhere.Scarlet burned the vines till they turned to ash and found Drako unconsionce and bleeding heavily from the the leg wound.
"Dammit!Why didn't I think befoe I made those flames hot enought to explode those shells.Why didn't I think!"
She knelt down next to Drako and stuggled to lift his shoulders and torso to put her cloak underneath his head.She took off her duster and ripped her shirt into strips and bound the the wound to help stop the bleeding.
Drako had then started to grown in pain and was trying to shift but it wasn't long till she saw the Drako's canines had become at least an inch long.
Her venom had done it's job.He was now somewhat protected.She started feeling a little woosy and laied down on the ground to rest.
on her right arm was a bullet hole with the insides of the wound steaming.
She never woke up!

I woke suddenly, like slamming head first into a wall with a blindfold. I looked aroun weakly and saw Scarlet, shoulder steaming and obviously passed out. I dragged myself over as fast as I could. I laid my head on her chest, she was barely breathing. I cursed to myself and broke off a small sharp piece of rock, I had been a good boy and drank all the blood I needed, Scarlet, as it seemed she did during times of stress, starved herself. I cut my forearm deeply and let the blood drain into her mouth, it didnt take her long to latch onto my arm, she needed alot of power to live through that, I did something that repulsed me to no end, I grabbed a small bush near my free arm and drained its life force, giving me its strength but completely killing it. As a druid, that was the worst kind of murder. "Always getting yourself into trouble aren't you Scarlet?" The bullet used had been of a lower grade gold, with substantialy less holy water, or else we both would have died. Soon she stopped drinking and lay there, now sleeping fitfully. A thought occured to me that made me curse outloud, something I had never did much. How was I supposed to get Scarlet away from here? I looked down at my leg, which I just noticed she had bandaged with a strip of cloth, and tried to move it, to no avail. Who did I know that could help? Shade was back at the Swiftblade manor, which I didn't have enough strength to make a portal to, Uriel had left shortly after Scarlet had woken from her coma, great, all of my friends where either not reachable or dead, the one time I could use Axel and he had to go off and die, it was just like him to leave me with all the work while he went to goof off with my sister. Suddenly it hit me like never before, my sister was dead. She had made me what I was today, and she had died. The government, why did it seem they where behind everything bad in my life? I rolled onto my back and stared at the stars, the sun would be up soon.

At the sound of approaching sirens, I grab my coat and head out into the sprawling city. I had the gov-issue guns, and my Beretta under the coat. As I am climbing down the stairs, I am confronted by two feds. I duck around and start climbing. I let my ears fall flat and then hide. I let my tail go away aswell. I then start my descent again. As I pass them, they don't even think twice of me. I sigh as I get back down the stairs. I head out into the night. They knew I was in the building, but they had already checked my apartment off, so I had no worries there. I only had to worry about the feds who knew me, and those would soon be dead. If I got them tooken care of, my worries should start fading, no loose ends. Soon, I am in the street that housed my building, and heading straight for the morgue. I had a special body in there, and I needed it. I get there, then turn the key. I am stopped by the feeling of cold steel on my neck. No not a gun, but a razor sharp scalpel. Those things were sharp, even to go so far as to cut through without feeling it. I sigh and raise my hands. I face the assailant. He looks at me perplexed. It was only my assistant. I shake my head.
"You really thought I was an intruder?" I question him. He moves off without question. He knew why I was here. Hell, he knew everything about me, but he wasn't of this city. By jove, he was from the same place I was, the small village. I also had confided in him with the secret of Scarlet, and in reward, he offered his hand in defeating anyone who stood in my way, fed or foe, even a "friend" or two. He was trustable, for thieves only trust the trustable. I slip in and grab the body of a one Mr. Donaster, or City mayor twenty years ago. I grab him and load him on a cart, then head out into the back ally. No way I was getting cuaght, I had my bases covered. I start out, then am confronted by floodlights. I blink
My assistant lay sprawling on the ground, slowly dying of the kidney wound he had sustained. I finger my Beretta. I decide against it. "Dr. Noringer!" They called me a doctor, they weren't calling me that for long! I wasn't their puupet. All the "Doctors" Here were. I wouldn't let them. "I know you have the body of the mayor, hand him over!" I pull my Beretta in my right, and a gov-issue in my left, and kick the cart to safety from the firefight about to insue. I get out, alive, wounded, but alive. My assistant being dragged by me, his wound tended to. I don't remember what happened, but I still had the body I had come to retrieve, pulling it by my waist, via a rope.

Drako had fallen into a fitful sleep from the pain but Scarlet wasn't doing too well.
"Come back Scarlet.Come Back to me!We own you!There is nothing that you can do.You will marry and rear a child in our name.Come back!"
"Never!"Scarlet screamed waking Drako up.Her eyes were a pure red and her fangs were longer than Drako had ever seen them.She truly looked like a demon.
The sun was just peeking out from the morning clounds and landed on Drako but it didn't bother him anymore.
