Rhea shook his head and growled a bit when Ruran swung again he ducked and moved with to slam his shoulder into Ruran's gut.
Ruran's anger was building again. He stupid mutt was just playing with him. He dug his nails into the stick and swung only to be hit hard and he found his breath forced from him. He stumbled back his eyes glaring and started to cough. He tried to regain his balance when Rhea his him again and he forced to the ground.
Kanis felt her cheeks heat and brighten to red. She looked down. She didn't know if she should tell him she was watching his beautiful body. She bit her lip. "Y..yes sir....I um was wondering if you braided your hair...sir...cause I could braid it for you if you had time...if you don't normally do it then sorry for offering."
She felt like she might be running a fever just replaying the way his body moved over and over in her head. She knew she must look like a scared little girl. And she was so stupid to offer to braid his hair....she sounded like a surprise. And she had never seen him with his hair braided.

Armus caught Aras's fist in her hand and looked over at the boys sharply, hearing Ruran's cough. She saw Rhea throw him to the ground, and she felt a fierce pride for her son ...
"Let's watch them," she murmured to Aras, though she remained standing so that she could intervene quickly if she needed to.
Aras was more than happy to watch her brother and her love fighting - though she was worried about Rhea. It wasn't fair ... Ruran shouldn't be using a stick ...
Corrah chuckled softly. "Sometimes I do," he nodded, smiling warmly, his icy blue eyes bright. "Rarely, but sometimes."
He paused, looking at her thoughtfully. "I'll tell you what," he murmured. "If you promise to do nothing but rest while I check on the others, I'll let you braid it when I get back from checking on them. How's that?"

Rhea didn't smile this was serious to him and he did not like being treated like a wolf robbing a farm. He dove for the throat but before he could wrap his fangs around the elf's neck he felt Ruran's feet connect with his chest and the elf kick him off.
He was tossed a bit but landed on his feet and started to circle the still downed elf. He would have to get at the neck and end this a different way.
Ruran saw the reason why he had not wanted to fight the wolf just yet. Unlike his sisters Rhea had another personality. He would switch to a feral mode when not being forced to be civil and Ruran could feel the power the wolf really had.
When he saw Rhea dive for him he kicked his feet out feel them hit the stomach of the wolf that felt rock hard and sent a sharp pain threw his leg causing him to cry out.
He knew he had to get up on two legs before Rhea attacked again because he was more venerable laying weak. He forced himself to stand on his skinned and wrapped leg and held his stick ready.
Kanis looked up at him, though it was a mistake for the smile and the look in his eyes made her heart race again. She knew she must look like a fool. And for all she knew Corrah already had a wife and family that maybe was killed and he was still morning for them...like in the stories.
"You don't want me to keep practicing my punches sir? If you want me to rest I will...and I don't have to braid your hair if you don't do it often...its just good for keeping out the knots and keeping it out of your way." She was rambling and she felt her eye wandering down his face and strong jaw down his neck and to his deeply scared chest her heart beating faster and an unfamiliar warmth spreading threw her body.
"Um sorry sir. Don't worry I will rest wail your gone" she nodded slowly.

Armus stepped forward as Rhea's fighting changed, becoming more serious than ever.
"That's enough," she cut in, stepping between the two boys. "This is supposed to be a spar, not a fight to the death. As much as you two would love to kill each other that's not going to happen today."
She looked at Rhea seriously. "Go back to Aras," she ordered him, hoping that the thought of the girl he liked so much would calm him and make him more human again. Then she turned to Ruran. "Drop the stick. Now."
Aras's eyes were wide with fear, and she pressed her hands over her mouth anxiously.
"Rhea!" she called out, taking a step forward. "Come on!"
Corrah chuckled softly and reached out to ruffle Kanis's hair affectionately. "I won't be long," he promised her, rising once more to his feet. "I will see you shortly."
And with that, he disappeared into the woods once more.

Rhea still stood ready and growled at bit but at the order and the voice of Aras he moved slowly towards her. He didn't take his eyes off of Ruran at all. He would not have killed the male elf, he was just going to let him know who would win.
He moved and stood at Aras' side his unblinking eyes set one the young male. He wanted to make sure the elf knew not to hurt his partner.
Ruran looked at Armus, "This was just getting good too." he said and dropped the stick. Though he was still wobbly on his feet he would not go down yet...and temp Rhea to attack him again.
Kanis smiled at the ruffling of her hair then watched him leave. She was so stupid. And she didn't want to just lay there thinking about how dumb she had just been. BUt she knew if she tried to walk or started working herself again he would get upset. She sighed she had to think of something other than Corrah.
Her eyes widen. Today was the day her mother and father would be coming up to get them!

Aras reached out and put her hand in Rhea's carefully, afraid of what he might do.
"Rhea," she murmured urgently, "just leave him ... it's not worth it ... come on ..."
Armus rolled her eyes at Ruran. "You, kid, were getting your a** handed to you," she told him flatly. "Face it. Fighting fair - hand to hand, without that stick of yours - you'd have been long gone. Getting good? Sure. For Rhea."
She turned away from him. "Just be sure that you never do anything to him to make him want to seriously hurt you," she muttered. "Because if you do, you'll be in real danger - and I won't stop him again."
Truth be told, she wasn't certain she could stop him if he was in a real killing mood ... she had a suspicion that only Aras would be able to, and then only sometimes, depending on the situation.
Celebor and Niyana were indeed coming up the mountainside to see their children - though earlier than expected, and in a far different mood than usual. Celebor, for his part, was furious, filled with an anger that he had felt only when hunting down the slave traders that toyed with the elvish children's lives.
The only thing that was keeping him even a little calm was the fact that Niyana was right beside him. Every time he felt his anger getting the better of him, he had only to glance at her to calm down and feel a little better.

Rhea growls and wanted to kill something. He even wanted to drag Aras off and claim her hard. He whimpered a bit and turned his head to lick at Aras' stomach. Even if he could not show that he was mating Aras he wanted to at least let her know. He nuzzled against her belly.
Ruran sighed and rolled his eyes, "Yeah right...if you let us continue I would have gotten the upper hand." in truth he was getting tired of losing fights. And he was watching Armus not the wolf with his sister.
"You have to stop him if we are in training Armus...its part of your job." he smiled looking over her figure. She really was not to bad on the eyes. Apart from being human.
Niyana walked along with Celebor. Her hand holding his. She knew he was anergy and so was she. But she knew Ruran would not listen to her. She didn't think he could listening to anyone.
She smiled though she was still hurt by the growing distance between her and her mate. "IF he did do it...maybe we should castrate him." She said softly.
She didn't have the ears of an elf so she could not hear how close they were but she had spotted a thin trail of blood every now and then. She wondered if Celebor saw it as well.

Aras could sense Rhea's desires and she wanted nothing different from him, but until Aras gave them the go-ahead they had to stay there with her and Ruran. But she knelt down in front of Rhea and put her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly to her. She didn't like seeing him like this ...
Armus rolled her eyes at Ruran once again. "Whatever. You'd have lost, end of story - and in case you didn't notice, I did stop him. Unless you'd like me to set him loose on you again," she added with a curl of the lip. "You'd find out."
Celebor could hear Armus's voice ahead, and he knew that they were very close. The trail of blood he and Niyana were following didn't bother him - the children after all were there to train, and accidents were not uncommon in training. Not to mention, if what Idhril and Joruri had told them was correct, Ruran had been injured ...
"Nearly there," he murmured, squeezing Niyana's hand and trying to reassure her, even though he himself was far from being reassured. He couldn't help but smile grimly at her comment about Ruran though.
"If? I have no doubt in my mind that he is guilty," Celebor replied softly. "I wish we didn't have to do anything ... but something must be done ..."
Castrate him? Maybe. Would it work? Well, he might not be able to rape anyone again, but that wouldn't stop him from being violent or vindictive.

Rhea rested his head on Aras' shoulder and his body slowly started to relax within her embrace. He smiled and nuzzled his cheek against her neck.
When he was fully calm his tail wagged and he smiled. "Shall we train Arrras?' He asked playfully.
Ruran rolled his eyes, "That is what you think....I am sure I would have got some good hits in." he said and sat down. "So I guess I will be training with my sister next?"
Niyana nods, "Yes I know you don't doubt it and neither do I. Idhril was too scared for it to just be in her mind...and the marks on her body were real enough." She brought Celebor's hand up and kissed the back of it. "But we have to deal with this one way or another...though I don't think much will stop him...he does have our stubbornness."
She could hear them now Armus and her son talking. She set her mind, here goes nothing.

Aras wasn't sure what kind of training Rhea meant - if he meant train with Armus, he seemed a bit too playful, and if he meant their own private 'training' ... well she was a bit too upset for that right at the moment.
"In a bit," she told him quietly, still hugging him tightly. "I ... I just need to calm down a bit ..."
Armus glared at Ruran. "After what you did to Kanis, and the way you were fighting with Rhea right now, do you honestly think I'd even consider letting you loose on Aras? You're not nearly as smart as I gave you credit for. Your sense of logic is completely skewed - that is, if you ever had one in the first place."
Celebor squeezed Niyana's hand, but he was more focused on the conversation that he could hear taking place just in front of them. He glanced at his mate apprehensively once more before they entered the clearing.
"And just what did he do to Kanis?" he asked in a suspicious tone, his eyes narrowed in anger. "It had better not have been anything like what he did to his aunt ..."
He glared at his son, his green eyes filled with an anger that smoldered and pierced. He kept Niyana's hand in his own, and it was only her touch that held him back from grabbing his son by the neck right then and there.
"She is safe," Corrah's quiet and dark voice cut in, though the man was nowhere to be seen. "For the moment."
He appeared out of the trees, his long hair wet and sticking to his face, still covered only from the waist down. His body and clothes were dry now, however, and he moved slowly to stand between Armus and Ruran.

Ruran rolled his eyes, "Oh come on that was an honest mistake..." he started out before his father's voice interrupted him. He turned to look at his father fuming in anger and his mother emotionless for once. Maybe his father had finally told her it was over between them...but the fact that they were holding hands said other wise.
He wondered if he should try to lie out of this one or not. He knew he was all cut up but did Idhril cry about how he got cut up...she had passed out too early on to know what the doll had done to him. He felt the chill of the anergy elf stare. But he did not allow his body to shake. "As I was saying what happen with Kanis was an accident. And I don't know what your talking about with my aunt. She is not even in this world"
Niyana's hand tighten on Celebor's as his anger grew. She looked at Aras and thought maybe she should take thier daughter away...but if she left Celebor she did not know what he would do to Ruran, son or not. "Aras...maybe you should take your friend away for a bit, your father and I have a matter to discuss with your brother." She said softly then looked up at Celebor a bit worried and hearing Corrah she scanned the area looking for him.
She had to addmit seeing him standing the way he was dress made her for a moment regret sending her children to him. But she figured he had just been bathing, judging by the wet hair."What is wrong with Kanis Corrah?"
Rhea tensed up seeing all the people around suddenly. He growled softly but not knowing who to growl at he stopped and just moved his body in front of Aras. The fur along his back standing straight and his ears twitching searching for sounds of anyone else.
He looked at the alpha waiting for his signal. At least with him here all should be safe.

Aras was surprised by the sudden appearance of her parents, and though she was glad they were there to take care of Ruran, she was sad, because she didn't want to go home with them. She wanted to stay here ... with Rhea ...
"Come on, Rhea," she murmured, putting one hand on his shoulder and gently tugging him away from the others. "Mommy says we should go ... come on, we can go back to our cave."
Corrah looked down at Rhea and nodded his approval, motioning for the boy to go with Aras. Then he turned his attention back to Celebor and Niyana.
"Kanis has a broken leg," he told them flatly. "Thanks to Ruran's aggression. Perhaps he did not mean to break her leg, but nevertheless if not for him, it would not have happened. Now tell me, what do you believe he has done to his aunt?"
To his knowledge, the boy had been on the mountain all night - Armus had assured him that he had been safely in his quarters ... how could he have done anything at all? As much as he disliked the boy, he thought that for once, he was being misjudged.
Celebor's eyes narrowed. "What he attempted to do was rape her," he replied matter-of-factly, "and if not for her mate's timely appearance, he would have."
He ignored Corrah and Armus then and turned his furious gaze on his son.
"Stand up," he ordered him harshly.

Rhea nodded to Corrah and then nods, "Yes" he started to walk with Aras away wanting to go towards their cave. He hoped all would be really. He just wanted to distract Aras and calm himself as well.
Niyana watched Aras and Rhea walk off then she looked shocked, "Oh no is she alright? How bad a break was it?" she looked at Corrah worried. Her hand almost slipping from her mate's.
Ruran stood up and looked at his father, "She does not have a mate...she is too young to have a mate." he was going to lie, as far as he could. He knew it would get him into more trouble but what else could he do. If he admitted it he would be in just as much trouble.
Kanis sighed and shut her eyes pulling one of the blankets over her head and body from the sun trying to think of what was wrong with her apart from her leg. She had to stop thinking of her master in a non master like way.

"A very bad break," Corrah told Niyana with a frown. "Broke the bone nearly in two. She is safe now, resting ... but I do not see how Ruran could have attacked his aunt last night, he was safely at his ca-"
Armus cleared her throat awkwardly, interrupting Corrah.
"Actually," she admitted, her face bright red, her eyes lowered to the ground, "he ... wasn't ... he ran off after he broke Kanis's leg, ran down the mountain ... I was angry, so I let him go, I didn't even try to find him ..."
Corrah's eyes grew cold with anger, and he glared at Armus, and it almost seemed as though the air around them grew colder.
"I see," he said crisply. "And my missing dagger, I suppose that might have been you as well?"
Armus was startled. "I didn't even know you were missing one!" she protested. "Besides, I have my own! Why would I take one of yours? They were supposed to be for the kids, for their tra-"
She trailed off and looked back at Ruran. "You," she whispered. "You must have taken it ... and when I found you this morning you were in terrible shape, no animal could have done it, and yet I could not think of what weapon might have been used against you ..."
Suddenly angry once again, she turned back to Celebor and Niyana. "What weapon was used against him?" she asked them urgently. "What weapon? I can tell you if they match the wounds that he received or not, and we can find out once and for all what is the truth of this matter."
Celebor glanced at Niyana, his hand tightening around hers slightly.
"It was those wires, wasn't it?" he asked her. "Idhril said that lots of wires came out of him and he used them like whips, to protect her and to attack Ruran ..."

Ruran glared at Armus, "You stupid human why the hell would I steal a dagger! I went down the mountain yes...but I did not even know my aunt was in this land. Why would i take a dagger I don't even know how to use?" He wanted to tear into the human but he knew he could not win a fight with her yet and the vibes from Corrah seemed to be enough to send Armus into a fray.
He was glad that the dark elf seemed to be willing to help clear his name.
Niyana nods, "Yes his aunt's mate is a marrionette with metal wires attached to him. Though we did not see any blades where they were staying.." she said her voice still flat as she forced herself to keep calm and tried to keep an open mind.
She did not seem to mind the now vice like grip of Celebor on her smaller hand. "She said that he was injured though...but I hand not seen the doll, Joruri, without his shirt so I could not tell which on the two heavy set scars were from the attack...but one wire was broken...I didn't know that such a thin piece of metal could break a thicker dagger."
Ruran tensed up, "That cursed doll is not my aunt's mate! She would never defile her beautiful body with his not even living one! I bet he doesn't even bleed." he had almost slipped up and said, I know for a fact he does not bleed. But he had been able to avoid it with only a small pause in his words, that could be attested from his growing anger.
