Trixie lies in bed, going over the instructions.
She knows her first order of business is to try the little flame trick that Signis told her about.
Of course, that is easier said than done, and she is soon sighing in frustration.
She sits up and looks over at her sheathed blade on top of her vanity.
"Snakey, maybe I am not smart enough," she hisses.
"Yooooooooooooooooou oooooooooooovvvvveeeer thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinkkkkkkk tttttttttttthhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiingssssssssssssss," Snakey replies. "Whhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy dddddddooooooooooooooooooonn't yoooooooooooooooou ttttryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy sssssssssssssssssssttaaaaaaaaaaaancccccccccccccccccessssssssssssssss fffffffffffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssstt?"
Belaltrix shrugs, and stands. She walks over to her vanity, and runs a small hand over the beautiful sheath. Smiling, she picks up the sword, and takes it out of the sheath. She holds it in both hands, and runs over the stances in her head.
After a long while of practicing them, she yawns widely. "How did I do?" she hisses.
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeell," Snakey replies.
"Think I will be ready for more work when Signis comes around again? I don't want him to think I am not taking this seriously," she hisses, sheathing the sword again, and setting it on her vanity.
"Iiiiiiiii tttttthhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink Ssssssssssssssssiiiiiiigniiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssss wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill knoooooooooooooooowww yooooooooooooooooooooouu aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrre sssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeriiiiiiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssssssssssss," Snakey replies. "Yoooooooooooooooouuuu juuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave toooooooooooooo ppppppppppppppprrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaactiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccccccccccccce thhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ooooooooooooooooothhhhhhhhheeer."
"Later," Bellatrix replies, waving it off. "I need sleep." and with that, she lies down again. She pulls her sheets over her and curls up. Snakey slithers to the pillows and coils against Trixie's chest. He doesn't rest until he is sure that Bellatrix is asleep.

Krista DarkAngel Silme Cala peeks her head out from the Dragnid Forest, she looked around before slipping quietly out of the forest. Her small Demon wings flapping alittle as she looks around. It seem there was no one in sight. With her tail flicking across the ground she heads towards Landing circle. Maybe if she was lucky she would be able to figure out how to work it to get herself off the isle. Antidia Satisfied finally that the cooties were nice and washed off, Dagen wandered out of the underground tunnels. Zaden and Warslik decided to sleep. Lazy bums. Time for some solo exploration. Keeping herself invisible, as was her habit when wandering around topside, she spotted another little demon child leaving the forest. She nearly gasped out loud with excitement. She wondered if she could bring that one home too. On tiptoe, she slowly approached, exiting the forest. The Poison Arrow Rath frowned as dragged the bag of box sides, the brown goop, and the shiney on a fluffy flat thing through the forest. Kaelin was having sleepy times so he thought it would be a good chance to take the nummys back home. He was covered in the red wet, most of it not his own. Some big stupid fuzzy thing on four legs thought Rath was food, Rath was NOT food! The fuzzy thing had shapr teeth and bite Rath's leg. It didn't soon after and dropped Rath and spat red water on him and fell over. Rath walked over and kicked in, it made a squeaky sound and Rath walked away with his food. He squinted when he could see the big sky shiney once more and peered around. Krista DarkAngel Silme Poking at the ground of the landing circle she lets out a small growl as she tried to get it to work. She had seen others vanish from this spot so why wasn't she. Unwrapping the whip then was around her small body she snaps it at the ground a few times making a loud cracking noise cutting the ground up in the process. When she see this doesn't work she frowns " Work it not, Not it work...." she huffs looking around to see if she had missed something. Her body was giving off a light green glowing as she flaps her wings alittle. Antidia Wow! What a lucky day. Another little kid she could bring home. She paused in her persuit of the girl and looked at the boy, trying to decide who to talk to first. Dagen jumped slightly when she heard the snapping noises the little girl made at the ground. That was enough to pique her curiosity so she approached the girl to find out what she was trying to do. Actually ... the whole glowing thing is what got her attention most, but she'd deny it if she was asked. "What you doing?" she asked kinda loud, not making herself visible quite yet. The Poison Arrow Rath blinked seeing two smally creatures just on the outside of the forest. He looked closely and noticed they both had the same kind of things on his back. No, these weren't Kaelin's, they were nice. These things were smalley and looked like they didn't like the ground. He bundled up his food in his fluffy flat thing and held it behind him. He did all the taking, they could get their own. He circled them slowly in a wide arc, watching the angry one with a weird look on his face. Maybe the ground bit it Krista DarkAngel Silme ((Wonder who gonna figure out first which FF game Cala's speaking comes from..)) Cala looks around her eyes narrowing alittle as her body glowing switches to an amber color. She didn't like being snuck up on and she didn't like being watched " Is you where? Where you is?" she helds the whip in one hand just in case she needed to use it. A gleam from the end showing the reason why the ground ripped apart. A blade was attached to the end of it. Circling in the spot she was in she growls alittle more " Like no sneak. Sneak no like." she wings twitched as she stood her ground. Antidia "I right here." Dagen forgot sometimes other pae couldn't see her when she was being sneaky. She sorta flickered herself from invisible back to visible. She wanted this pae to come home so she needed to try to be nice. Then when Zee said she could keep her, then she could be bossy. "You make loud again, yes?" She looked hopeful at the girl. "I help?" The Poison Arrow Rath stared at the two, the talked, which dumb dumb fuzzys and squirrels do not. They just make squeaky noises and then go sleep for long times. Rath looked at the shiney on the end of angry ones long thing. Rath had a better shiney, pulling out his toy, he spun it and watched it sparkle in the big sky light. Spinning it up and down, he knew his was betterer, cuz it had a big shiney surprise for silly things that made him angry. Rath sat down to watch and looked at the red mess on him and licked some of it off. Krista DarkAngel Silme Cala looks at the child once she appears. She was like her only different. Lowering her whip she tilts her head then nods " You help me? Me help you?" thinking for a moment she nods " Yes you may. May you yes." she turns when she catches a gleam from the corner of her eyes " Who is that? That is who?" Antidia Dagen nodded and grinned. "How you make loud noise? Who is who?" she questioned, her own head tipping slightly to the side. She turned her gaze to where the other girl looked. "I nunno who dat is? Maybe he like loud too?" His toy did a good job of catching her attention, and now she was torn. See the new kids toy or help the other new kid make loud noises. Wow, tough decision. "Maybe he tell us who he is?" And share the toy? The Poison Arrow Rath looked up with a stern look at the pair that were watching him. Well not him... his shiney. Rath slowly put it away, take the shiney away from their eyes, it was his. Rath rubbed at his sore spot, stupid fuzzy bit him. He stood back up and dusted off his backside and grabbed his food, part of him didn't want them near, would they bite too? Let them try, he would wear their red water. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bellatrix yawns, stretching a little. The sun makes her lazy, and Snakey too. Her boa is currently slithering, just as sluggishly as Trixie is walking, right beside her, hissing nonsense.
Her tiny elbow blades catches the light, and make her squint her yellow eyes against the glare.
"Stupid Lenore better come soon," Trixie hisses, yawning again, this time so wide her jaw unhinges on its own and her fangs lower, becoming visible.
It is then that she and Snakey reach the landing pad, and Trixie stares a moment, jaw open, and teeth bared, before hastily shutting her mouth, and darting, albeit slowly, back toward the cover of the trees.
Snakey, however, stays there, closing his eyes a little as he sunbathes. Krista DarkAngel Silme Cala keeps watching him even after he place the shiney away. Keeping a tight hold on the whip she lets it hit the ground again with a loud crack. " We go meet? Meet we go?" she turns again just as she see something green dart back into the tree. " It go hide. Hide go it..." she growls then looks back towards the boy. She wanted to go what went running, but then she also wanted to see what caused the shiney. She frowns shaking her head as the glowing around her shifted to green again. Antidia Dagen frowned a bit as the boy put his toy away. She still wanted to meet him, maybe she could take him home too. Zee was sure to let her keep them both, she knew it! When she heard the loud crack, she squealed and grinned. "Let's go meet him, maybe he like loud too!"
Her eyes darted towards the trees when she seen movement. Another kid? Wow, what a great day this was turning out to be. "That another kid in the trees?" she points and looks back to the girl with the whip, like she might know. "We go see, yes? We take him to see too." She points towards the boy. She'd worry about his toy later, she needed to know his name first, or give him if he needed it. She didn't mind naming her pets if they didn't have them already. "Oh yeah, I Dagen." she says with a nod and then starts running towards the boy. "Hey you! I'm Dagen." she had to announce it again, just in case he didn't hear when she told the girl. The Poison Arrow Rath put his hands behind his back as one of the things charged him. It better not bit or he'd boonk it one with his shiney. Then it yelled at him and he winced and covered up his ears. He tried to point it away, so damn noisey, towards it's other on with the loud long thing. He frowned and poked it with a finger. Shoo! Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Trixie watches the goings on with twinking yellow eyes from her hiding palace in the trees.
The sun is partially covered here, so she doesn't feel quite so lethargic, and her grumpiness is slowly starting to dissapate.
She still doesn't know what to make of the other three. The little boy, he was a pretty color, and didn't speak. She thought she could get along with him.
But, those girls? Competition. The one with the whip was too pretty for her liking.
Not near as pretty as Trixie, of course. But, she would have to watch her.
Putting her hands over the hilts of her elbow blades, she waits, relatively silently. She is hissing to Snakey to hurry up and drag his a** over to her.
Snakey would grumble, had he the capability. Instead, he turns, and starts to slither over to Bellatrix. Alatariel Rakamash Finally hauling her lil bottom out of bed Zee noticed Dee gone and wanders out of the currow as well following that twin sense invisibly and winding up walking up right behind bellatrix. She was interesting making all sortsa hissy noises as she watched invisibly Krista DarkAngel Silme Cala frowns at the young demon boy shaking her head. She turns looking back towards the forest " Cala is name. Name is Cala." she narrows her eyes as she walks towards the tree " Who is there. There is who? Friend or Foe? Foe or Friend?" she keeps the whip behind her just to show she doesn't mean any harm for now. Antidia Dagen tiptoed towards the trees, her attention quickly averted as Cala headed there as well. She spotted something VERY familar, being that she is the only that can see her sister when she's invisible. "Zee!! Look!" She called out, waving then pointed to Cala, "New friend! Can I keep her?" She was glad Zaden came out to join the fun instead of her needing to take everyone to the burrow. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bellatrix's eyes widen, and she hides deeper in the brush.
If that freak even thinks about coming near her, asking if she can keep her, there will be hell to pay.
Through their odd little link, Snakey can feel the anger coming from Trixie, and the paranoia. The boa immediately coils loosely around Trixie's feet, and lifts his head, hissing threateningly, the tip of his tail twitching like a threatened rattler's.
Grumbling, Trixie rolls her eyes. "Yes! Give away our hiding spot, Snakey!" she hisses.
Snakey doesn't seem to care. No one is taking Trixie away from him. Alatariel Rakamash Still invisible Zee looks and sees her twin "I find nother one o'er here, I keep? this one have shakey noisey thingy!" she points at Bellatrix with a giggle Krista DarkAngel Silme Cala stopped looking over at Dagen. What was this about keeping her, shaking she head her she narrows her eyes " Keep me not. Not me keep." she wasn't planning on the island that much longer. So was in no way going to let someone keep her. Antidia Dagen frowned slightly. Hers wasn't gonna cooperate so well. "You keep yours, if I keep mine?" she called out to her sister, and looked to Cala. "You like our home, lots of tunnels and warm soft furs. Lots of toys too. And Slik, he cleans." She grins. Its a rather nice offer she thinks. The Poison Arrow Rath watched as more turned up, this was getting a crowded area. He wondered if the black man knew what he was doing when he put him here. Rath gathered his things, he could practically hear what was going on where he was. He walked curiously slowly, licking some of the red water off his arm, the big fuzzy tasted okay, but not as good as squirrel. He walked over to the small group but kept enough distance to have a heads up if one of them attacked. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bellatrix blinks when she hears the disembodied voice. She turns to look for the person speaking, butsees nothing.
Her eye starts to twitch when she feels a slight stab of pain in her back, and her tail twitches.
She ignores it, and says to the voice, "You NO keep me. I own woman. Touch me, I slap!"
She winces again, her right eyes twiching, and her wings flapping in irritation. Another sharp pain and she actually gasps a little. "No come near me, wherever you are!" Alatariel Rakamash Zee giggles and runs up and pokes Trix in the lower back and then runs away again with a giggle moving towards her twin becoming visible the sun catching her tail ring "Me touched Me touch!!!" Krista DarkAngel Silme Cala shakes her backing away from Dagen " Me not care. Care me not." she frowns before her eyes widen seeing another appear " You be two!! Two you be!!!" she frowns even more shaking her head " Confuse be me. Me be Confuse." She spots the young demon boy again then growls the color of her glow shifting to a near black. She didn't trust this many people around. And with someone saying they were going to keep her it didn't help. Antidia Dagen tipped her head at Cala a little. "You kinna hard to 'stand Cala." she informs the little pae, just in case she didn't know or something. She started giggling when her sister came closer to her after touching the other little child. "Zee, this is Cala. She makes loud and has that long thing with a shiney at the end. Its fun! But that kid, I nunno him yet. He quiet." She points to the boy from before. "What you name yours?" She stands up to her tiptoes to try to see the girl in the bushes better. Guardian_Iris Oh my! What's this?
The newest stage of Pae'il has arrived with the very first teenager!
Congratulations Bellatrix! The Poison Arrow Rath heard a fluttering, and looked up, the damn bug was back! He frowned and tried to swat at it but it buzzed away. Looking back, he noticed nearly all here had them, buzzing round their heads. Rath looked back to two that were looking at him closely, angry one was more angry, loud one was even louder. Maybe he should bonk them one, they might shoosh or cry, no, crying bad. When loud one asked his name, Rath remembered what black man told him and walked over to the dirt. And with a finger he wrote with a large capital "R" facing the wrong way " Rath". He held his food bundle in his tail and walked back to his spot and with that did something else black man told him to do at mean people. Rath held up a fist to angry one and raised his middle finger. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar (( She is SOOOO pretty! heart heart heart ))
Bellatrix is unaware of anything going on. She just sort of plops down, having the presence of mind to step out of the coil that Snakey has made around her feet.
Her wings wrap around her shoulders as she hug her knees to her chest. The only indication that she is even feeling anything is the twitching of her eye, and the tip of her tail.
But, waves upon waves of pain are washing over her. Even she doesn't have a high enough pain tolerance to not have her eyes well up.
And, just like that, it is over. Snakey buts her side with his nose, and she looks down at him. "That hurt," she hisses, rubbing her head.
She blinks, and looks down at her larger hands. She then runs her fingers over her horns. Her mouth gapes open, and she looks down at her knees, which are pressed against something unfamiliar.
Then she notices that she can barely breath. The top of her dress is like a vise, and she immediately goes for an elbow blade. She cuts the dress along the side, and shimmies out of it.
On shakey legs, she steps from her "hiding" spot, and looks over at the now-smaller Pae. "Noone name me," she says, a slight hiss at the end of her words. "I have a name. It Bellatrix."
She has time to think that she doesn't sound quite as terrifying as this larger body might seem, since she is still talking like a child. Hissing to Snakey, he slithers over to her, looking furious and doing his best to be terrifying. Nodding her approval, Trixie narrows her eyes at the twins, ignoring the others for now. Antidia ((filling in for Ala using Zaden with her permission)) Zaden watches her 'find' and grows amazed at the result of her poking and instantly an idea pops in her head. Giggling she turns invisible again and runs up towards Cala and pokes her in the back much the same sshe did to Bellatrix.Krista DarkAngel Silme Cala looks at Dagen ready to say something before she spots the green demon girl. She had not only grew bigger but she changed alittle. Frowning she crossed her arms over her chest. This wasn't good. Not good at all. She glares towards the demon boy her tail flicking. She wasn't sure what the hand gesture was but she didn't like it. When she feel the poke to the back of her head she growls her glowing turning completely black as she whips her bladed whip towards the area she had been poked making another loud crack. " That not funny!!! Funny not that!!!" Antidia Dagan looked at the things the green boy had drawn in the dirt. He could draw! That funny hand thing he did was just like the one Warslik's imp always did to her. Was he waving? She figured she'd be friendly and wave back like he'd waved to her. "Why you no talk?" she asked him, but her attention was quickly diverted when the little girl in the bush suddenly became the big girl out of the bush. The bigger people were fun to tease, but ... wasn't sure about this one. "Zee, your's uhh ... got beeeeeg. I no known how you gettin her in the hole..." She shrugged taking a step backwards. She wasn't quite sure what Zaden to her friend for this to happen and she hoped that she didn't sudden grow. Her hands moved behind her back to cover the spot she'd seen the green girl and Cala get poked. "Uh oh Cala ... I no know if you can come home with me now... you might not fit soon." The Poison Arrow Rath watched as one othem things grew, and one of them disappeared. He stared, bug eyed. Who were these things. No, not Kaelin's at all, he regretted leaving his squishy sleep spot. When angry got jabbed, he wondered why it made the noisy long thing swing. The hidey one, hmm, it wasn't gone, it was just no seen. Rath started to sweat, but it wasn't sweat, it was a glistening sheen of a sticky wet that made things go all happy googily if they touched it. He once watched a buzzy bug that bit him spin in circles for hours.Twas very weird here. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "I no going in a hole with anyone," Bellatrix says, her tail swishing madly behind her, and Snakey letting out a long, warning hiss to accent the statement. "I have home, no need 'nother one. Mine better than yours, anyway," she adds, with a huff.
She looks around at the glowing child. Cala, did the other annoying one say her name was? She grins, in a rather wicked an eerie way. Running a finger over her now-too-small elbow blade, she nicks her skin again, feeling a little blood leaking out. She then opens her mouth, and hisses to her, flicking her forked tongue out at Cala and letting her fangs drop down.
Maybe she would turn another color?
And, the boy, over there. All glistening. She eyes him a moment, but comes to the conclusion that he is no immediate threat. She would handle him if he came at her. . . . Alatariel Rakamash Zee ducked and ran soon as Cala started to turn and giggled "Dee yours is funny!, We need big tunnel so we get in" the little demon girl had a one track mind just then

Practice Makes Perfect! It is a few days after Trixie experienced the painful process of her growth. And, ever since it happened, she has refused to hiss.
All she has been doing is practicing her English.
And, now, she speaks with almost flawless grammar, and only slips back to hissing when she is feeling an extremely violent mood swing.
Lenore is beaming at Trixie from her seat on the cushion. She has brought over more of the same dresses, but in Trixie's current size. And, a few other trinkets as well.
"You have gotten much better at speaking now," Lenore says. "I am very proud of you."
"Thank you," Bellatrix says, smiling slightly. "I haven't slept in a few days. I wanted to get the hang of it. I can't go around looking like this, and talking the way that I used to."
Lenore nods, and pours some tea from the new set that she has brought over. "Yes, quite right, Bellatrix. But, you should get some sleep. I am going to tidy up around here," she says, and stands, setting her tea aside.
Bellatrix nods, hiding a yawn. "Good night, Lenore."
"Good night," Lenore says, shooing Trixie through the slit in the curtains.

Trixie looks down at the tape recorder that Lenore gave her when she came to the cave this last time. She had explained to her that this could be used to record her thoughts until she was confident enough to actually write them down in her journal.
She grins, and shakes her head. She doesn't think that she will ever be writing her thoughts. Her first language would be sufficient enough preotection. Anyone who heard the tape would not know what she is talking about, anyway.
So, picking up the recorder, she presses the button, and does a test. When she rewinds, hits play, and hears her hissed words, she nods, approvingly.
The days since that demon child touched me, and I . . . changed, have flown by.
And, things are getting mucked up.
Let's get the less confusing things out of the way, shall we? I found some snakes! Yes, I know where they are, now. I made friends with two of them. They have odd names that I do not wish to say right now. I was told that I was only to say them if I ever needed them, and since I don't now, I won't.
Another good thing? Well, I finally got that damn flame to snuff out in my mind. I might have meantioned that Signis was teaching it to me. I boasted that I would get it in less than a month.
It took me less than a week. Now, I am practicing getting it to burn out while I am doing other things. Even as we speak, I am working on it.
It is proving to be as frustrating as just trying to figure it out while I am doing nothing.
But, I am confident that I will have it in very little time.
I am also practicing those stances that Signis has taught me. The sword is now a little smaller than what I need, but it is something.
I am also practicing them with the new elbow blades that Lenore dropped off this morning. I must admit that I love my elbow blades more than any sword.
You can just get right up close to a person and cut them good with these things. See the light leave their eyes, feel their life leave them. If it gets that far, anyway.
In other news. . . . there is a break in the hissing for a chuckle. Signis is proving to be very confusing to me. Very confusing, indeed.
I love that he has the feelings that he does for me. Really, I do. I deserve praise and adoration. I DESERVE to be looked at in that unnerving way that Signis looks at me.
I know this, and everyone else should.
The thing that confuses me, though, are these . . . things, that he stirs up in me. When I watch him move, particularly his muscles, straining to lift something heavy, or swinging that blasted axe into a tree, I get this funny feeling.
I am not sure what it is, but it makes me squirm a little. . . .
What is going ON?! I don't have control over it, and it pisses me off! It pisses me off to no end!
It clouds my mind, and makes me weak. Even if it is for a moment, that cannot be allowed.
I must identify this feeling, and then figure out a way to shut it down. There is nothing for it. . . .
And, this kissing? Well, I happen to like that. . . . I don't think I would want that to stop. I just wonder if it is the same when kissing someone other than Signis? Maybe I might be able to find out at some point?
Signis gave me a beautiful chocker. It is so detailed! It is fashioned after the tree snake that I had with me. I haven't taken it off since he has given it to me. It looks good on me, compliments my green skin and the silver markings perfectly.
I got to watch him make it. It was . . . interesting. He looks as though he could hurt someone with his bare hands.
And, for some reason, that is extremely attractive. . . . Maybe, one day, I might be able to see him in a fight of some sort. . . .
I have found a few buttons I can push with Signis. I intend to use them. There is nothing like finding weaknesses and exploiting them. Especially if you get what you want out of it in the end. Or, you make someone uncomfortable.
I do love watching people squirm. . . .

"Do you know how bloody hard it was to drag that thing out here?" Lenore asks after she appears in Trixie's cave with a loud pop.
"Judging by that ridiculous sound that preceeded you, you didn't have to drag it very far," Bellatrix replies lazily, not looking up from her book.
"That is not the point," Lenore says, setting what she has in her hands on the ground in Trixie's bedroom.
"Yeah, you can set it there," Bellatrix says, sarcastically, looking up at Lenore now.
"Oh, I don't intend on carrying that thing any further. How you get it to whoever you are giving it to, that is your business," Lenore smiles a sarcastically sweet smile. "Darling, have a nice day," with that, she walks out of the room, and out of the cave.
Trixie looks over at the item that Lenore brought. She knows full well she won't be able to heft that big thing up on her own. So, with a resigned sigh, she returns to her book. She'll just have to wait for the recipient to come over next. . . .

Dearest journal.
Or, should I call you 'tape recorder?' there is a pause in the hissing for a chuckle.
Either way, I have news to report. First, I had my first, proper, training session with my sword! I did rather well, if I do say so myself.
Well, except at the end. I lost the void, and I started scrambling on the ground.
Signis got scarey! And, as much as it pains me to admit, it actually excited me. Some would call that twisted, but I think it is the norm. For me, anyway.
He is slowly showing me things that get my blood boiling. Pain is, apprently, one of them. If I want to keep my wits about me, I will have to try and not hurt myself when an attractive Pae'il is around, now won't I?
Anyway, I have finally figured out what that strange feeling I get in my stomach is. It is lust . . . want. How I can feel it so suddenly, and, apprently, at such a young stage in my life, is beyond me. I would ask Lenore about it, but I rather doubt she would explain things. So, it will be back to my books.
And, now for the unnerving part. Yes, it is still unnerving for me, and makes me a little panicky, I hate to admit!
Signis claims that he loves me.
Well, I should not say claims. I have argued that point over and over in my head, and have come to the conclusion that he is either seriously dilusional, or he is speaking truth.
I would like to think it is the former, but he has not shown any evidence of being such so far, so I must lean toward the latter.
Which makes me go. . . . Woah. I don't even know.
I must admit, I panicked, and pretty much threw his confession back in his face. I lashed out at him, and, dammit, I hate that I feel bad about it now!
I blame him. . . . Him and all that sweat. . . . And that crazed look he had in his eyes when he wailed at me with his sword. . . .
Enough of those thoughts, they are distracting. . . . there is another pause, as Trixie looks back at the mouth of her cave. Signis is still in there, and, although he couldn't understand a damn word she is saying, she still thinks he would be able to pick out the tone.
I told him that I liked him. And, I do, a LOT. But, love? Something so silly as THAT? I am unsure as of now. . . .
I would like to think that I am above such things. Lust has it's use, but something like love can make you stupid and leave you unfocused. I cannot be unfocused. . . .
Anyway, again with losing my train of thought. I am giving this thing a go. Why not? I like him, he is sexy, and strong, and. . . .
*clearing of the throat*
Yeah, I am giving it a go.
I had better go. I don't want Signis waking up and coming to look for me. . . . Yes, tape recorder, Signis is now, as I hiss, sleeping in my bed of pillows. Which I should get back to. . . .

Signis was awake before I woke up his morning. I opened me eyes and the first thing that I saw was him, lying there, his arm still around me, and staring at me.
He didn't stay long, because he had to get back and work on some things in his forge, he says.
I was treated to the sight of him picking that grindstone up and carrying it out of the cave.
Too bad he had things to do. . . . I might have invited him back in for the day. . . .
Anyway, I met another Pae'il today. Her name is Casala. I actually stayed over at her house for the night.
Well, house is a term I use losely. She stays in a ruined temple, with hardly any roof.
I will get to that later. But, tape recorder, I saw the most wonderous thing! I saw this beautiful ritual of snakes, welcoming the spirit of their dead brother into the embrace of the Yaaraea of the Snake Clan! You should have seen all of the snakes there! It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my short life! I don't think anything will be able to top it.
I have found that the snakes feel a kinship to me. I was a bit shocked when one of the Yaaraea called me their sister. He said the strangest thing. . . . I will never forget it. . . . "One of us . . . you are one of us." And, something inside of me told me to reply to him that I was, indeed, one of them. I don't understand it, and what he said next confused me even more. He said, "Sister, we thought you lost to us. Amusing, that you would show us yourself when we bring another into our midst. This is most timely. We sought a proper test for him, and we must not lose you now. That you live means you were granted the honor by the Guardians to guard in the flesh. We shall have him be yours."
The new Yaaraea was Casey. And, he was, indeed, assigned to me. No one else but myself, and Casala, have been able to see him as yet. And, I think this might prove troublesome when I try to speak to him. But, I could never, ever, disrespect this great honor that was granted me. I do not think that it is every day that a Yaaraea is assigned to someone. . . .
Yes, before I say anything else, I named Casey after Casala. She granted me the most treasured gift, even if only for a little while. She lent me her ability, and I got to SEE the Yaaraea! I could see them as plain as I could see all of the other snakes around me! For that, Casala will always have my respect. As I said, no greater gift has ever been given to me, and I don't think any gift could ever surpass it.
It's odd, how this Pae'il has been granted my respect so soon! It is a little unnerving, but I will not think too much about it. . . .
And, with that, I am going to go. I have much I wish to talk to Casey about. . . .

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Trixie steps in, glaring down at the stupid child in her arms as she does so.
Why did that stupid woman insist on her taking part in something so idiotic? she thinks, mentally cursing at Lenore. She has been told the meaning of this holiday, and it sickens her. And, just look at this place! It's so bright, and beachy, and grrrr!Bedtime is currently sleeping in Trixie's arms. Lenore made her take the little Care Pae out for a while.
As is his nature, he just keeps snorring away, sucking on a point of his star guardian.Sighing, a little frustrated, Trixie walks over to an empty table and huffs into a seat. She plops Bedtime, almost roughly, on the table in front of her, and just glares at him.The only indication that Bedtime know he has been moved is his slight stirring, and the slight opening of his bleary eyes to look at Trixie. Then, he is sleeping again. Torvil Rakamash Signis entered a short time after Bellatrix, having not been planning on showing up origonally, but having seen Bellatrix coming this way he'd been compelled by curiousity, so he'd followed her in. He smiled and waved at her, eyeing the small blue pae on the table as he walked over, sitting down next to her and running fingers down the side of her face. "Hello Bellatrix..." He chuckled. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bedtime stirs again, opening his eyes when he hears another voice. "'Lo," he says, and yawns again. He closes his eyes, letting go of his star guardian so that it can float around him again.
Soon, he is snorring, peacefully.Bellatrix looks at the child on the table, and shakes her head. All he ever did is sleep. And, judging by the peaceful expression on his face, he isn't having the sort of dreams that she would care about.
But, she manages her same, eerie, wicked smile when she turns her yellow eyes on Signis. "Hello," she says, fingering the chocker she has yet to take off since it was placed around her neck. "Long time, no see," she grins broader, her eyes twinkling with the same wickedness that her smile holds. "Didn't expect to see you here," she says, looking around again.
Well, she never expected to be in a dump like this, either. . . . Torvil Rakamash "I wasn't really expecting to show up here myself..." Signis grinned and ran a finger down Bellatrix's spine as he slid and arm around her side, letting it rest against her far leg after he brushed her spine. He chuckled and winked at her. "But I followed my favorite snake..." He murmured running his other hand gently over the choaker.
"Yes, long time, no seeing, this makes me... Not very happy..." He grinned and leaned in a little, pressing his lips to hers and pulling away again, just giving her a taste for now. "I think I will have to come visit you much more often, now that my hammers are done..." He chuckled.
His eyes darted to Vale and Dizzy and he chuckled. "Ahhh... The happy couple and their child... How nice..." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Trixie keeps an eye open on Bedtime, even as she shivers a little as the finger runs down her spine, and through the kiss.
She didn't need the little brat tattling to Lenore on her. . . .
But, true to form, he stays asleep, and she leans a little on Signis, eyes looking around at the other Pae.
PDA is only good when it makes people uncomfortable. . . .
She smiles slightly, again, and turns her eyes follow the direction he is looking in. "I hope you don't frequent places like this often, Signis. I would have to reevaluate my opinion of you. . . ." she says, looking back at him again, dismissing the 'happy couple' with a snort. Her smile broadens into a twisted grin as she says, "And, if you certainly cannot go a few hours without seeing me, I will have to really reconsider what I think of you. . . ." she teases, leaning her face closer to his as she runs a finger down one of his scars.
She then moves back a little, shifting in her seat to get more comfortable as she looks around her once more, cringing at the decorations. Torvil Rakamash Signis chuckled and shook his head. "No, no..." He laughed and with a little grin he hefted Bellatrix into his lap with a light and very much forced grunt. He ran a finger down her spine again and shivered grinning broadly, "And I'm fine for a few hours, it's the few days that tend to irritate..." He chuckled. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bellatrix's eyes widen when she is lifted up and deposited into Signis's lap, and involuntariy shivers again.
Her eyes start to dart around the room, as though making sure that no one is looking. She kind of wishes someone would, maybe some mean gossip about her would be circulated. . . .
Oh, she would love a fight sometime soon. But, now. . . .
She turns her twinkling eyes back to Signis, and wiggles in his lap. Satisfied, she sits straighter, and makes a show of batting his hands away from her back. "A few days, huh? Well, I will be sure to make myself scarce," she says, hissing as the smile comes back to her lips. "I like you . . . irritated. . . ." Torvil Rakamash Signis laughed and he leaned in, kissing her and chuckling, he wrapped his arms aroudn her waist and smirked, keeping her in place. He pulled away form the kiss again. "Oh but my dear, dear Bellatrix, that would just make me beat a path to your door, and probably cause several innocent people some harm..." he laughed softly and winked at her. "Go for it..." He then pulled her into another kiss, stronger than the ones before. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Trixie squirms again when she finds she is effectively being held in place.
With wicked thoughts swirling in her head over his words, she enthusiastically returns the last kiss, before pulling away. "I would love to see that, Signis. . . ." she says, an evil tone in her voice, and a glow in her eyes that says she is being deadly serious.
She then laughs a little. "You are going to ruin impressionable minds if you keep on the way you are," she says, in a conspiritorial whisper. Torvil Rakamash Signis laughed and kissed her again, smirking, when he broke it, which was not for a long time, he murmured. "Young minds are meant to be ruined, so let them watch..." He chuckled, keeping his arms around her, grinning widely as he kissed her again, his fingers working at her back. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bellatrix hisses into the kisses, now, and shivers again.
But, she is showing great restraint, and her own fingers are showing it by the twitching.
She lets out a cry, and pulls back when she hears someone move close by. She turns to look, and sees Bedtime's eyes right on her.
Her stomach sinks. Taking her arms away from Signis for a moment, she reaches over and picks up Betime, before setting him on the ground. "Scram, brat," she says, a slight hiss in her voice.Bedtime blinks up at Bellatrix with sleepy eyes. When she only stares back at him, unblinking, and with angry yellow eyes, he pouts, and starts to crawl under the table. "Blanket, please," he says, holding out a turquois hand.Bellatrix rolls her eyes, and grabs his blanket off of the table. She hands it to him and turns away. "See? There. Now Lenore is going to be prowling my cave, and it is all your fault, Signis," she says, poking his nose with a hiss. The smile on her face tells him that she is not angry."Thank you," comes a sleepy voice from under the table. Bedtime curls up in his blanket, but does not go to sleep again. He watches Bellatrix's tail swish in front of him for a moment, before turning slightly-more-awake eyes to look around at the feet in the room. Torvil Rakamash Signis chuckeld softly at that, and watched Bellatrix for a moment, before chuckling. "Well then, while she's prowling your cave I'll just have to make you scarce..." He chuckled and pulled her close to him again, kissing her just as passionatly as they had been before she had pulled away.
Time had changed Signis, he was not the honorable man he'd used to be... Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Oh? Ho-" but Bellatrix is cut off by another kiss.
At first, she is slightly annoyed. Then, she returns the kiss, not caring about the other people in the room now. . . . She runs a finger nail over one of Signis's scars, and wiggles a little in his lap before she pulls away.
"My, my, Signis," she says in a soft voice, her same smile on her lips. "What has gotten into you?" Torvil Rakamash Signis chuckled and looked into her face. "Mmmm... I don't know..." he murmured, keeping his face close to hers as he shivered and groaned a little. "Perhaps, it is the fact that there are soooo many people about to witness this?" He smirked. "I want to make sure everybody knows..." He laughed and kissed her again. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bellatrix doesn't allow the kiss to last too long. She has to ask this next question.
When she pulls away, idly running her hand up and down Signis's back. She narrows her eyes a little, and eyes him. "Why?" she asks. Torvil Rakamash Signis chuckled and he moved his hand to her cheek, shivering a bit. "Because..." he murmured softly. "I don't want to hide what we have, because, to be honest, it doesn't need to be hidden..." He ran his fingers against her cheek, along her face gently. "What better place for it to be known than here, someone is bound to see, and then, tell, someone else, till the entire isle knows..." He smiled. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bellatrix eyes him more. She is unwilling to admit that she had wanted someone to see, but, for her, there is an entirely different reason.
She could hear Lenore, clear as day, if she ever found out. And, she would be such a hypocrit. Her fiance is over a hundred years older than her. . . .
She could only imagine what others would say. Things might get heated enough to come to blows! And, she would be a happy Pae'il, indeed!
But, she finds herself thinking that she is not some prize pet to be shown off to all of Signis's friends. She knows, somewhere, that he doesn't mean it like that, but that is where her mind takes her.
She doesn't say anything about it, though, and says, instead, in a soft voice, and with a small smile on her lips and her head tilted, "And, Signis, what is it that we have, hmmm?" her tone is slightly teasing at this point, and her smile widens just a bit. Torvil Rakamash Signis chuckled and smiled, keeping his arms around her. "We have..." He thought for a moment, grinning. "A very, heated relationship and quite possibly... Somthing more..." He murmured and brushed her cheek, leaning in slowly, pressing his lips to hers. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Relationship? Did he say the 'R' word?! Trixie feels that panic again, and her wings droop slightly under it, even as she is kissing Signis.
Oh hell, oh hell, oh hell, she thinks, over and over and over again.
Finally, she has to pull away again. "What do you mean by that?" she asks, confused again. Torvil Rakamash "I mean, you and I have something going on..." He chuckled and brushed her cheek again. "That you and I have... a relationship above and beyond what most would consider friendship..." He chuckled. "I mean, that you and I have a relationship..." Antidia Torvil Rakamash Vale nodded his head and watched the two kids, kissing Dizzy's cheek and smling, holding her close, gently, but close. He chuckled and watched, keeping his eyes on Joi. He had a feeling she'd be just a firey when she got older too... Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar She takes a moment to search her vocabulary. Coming up with the right words, she asks, "What? You mean, that we are dating? Or . . . sort of. . . . boyfriend and girlfriend?" She is distressed by the slight squeak in her voice, and she frowns at it, squirming a little in Signis's lap. Torvil Rakamash Vale turned his head and looked and blinked. "Uhm... Yeah... What's he doing with that girl?" He eyes grew wider as he watched the goings on for a moment. "Oh my... That's... erm... I wonder what happened to his wife..." He blinked.Signis frowned and he brushed her cheek. "That is entirely up to you..." He murmured. "I would like it to be that way, but if you'd rather it not be..." He watched her face, already having been guaguing her reactions. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Trixie squirms even more when she sees the frown, and looks around again.
Uh oh, someone is watching. . . .
Pushing that aside, she looks under the table to make sure Bedtime is still there. When she finds that he is, and he is still looking around, she faces Signis once more.
She bites her lower lip and searches his face, and his eyes, still squirming a little.
She hates being on the recieving end of this! She forces herself to still, and absently runs a finger over a paler area of the skin on his chest. "I still don't know what I want, Signis," she finally admits. "I still need time. . . ." Antidia Dizzy took a deep breath, for no other reason then sometimes, her breathing was labored these days, tho it could have easily been mistaken as a sigh. "Maybe they split up? He seems rather ... happy." She wished she could say the same for the girl, she looked conflicted. Overly curious still, Dizzy figures she'd mind her own business on that matter. No need to be a gossip. She didn't have the energy for it. Turning her attention back to her husband and daughter, she smiles. "So what are we supposed to do at a Valentine's Day dance if I can't dance?" she giggled. Torvil Rakamash Vale chuckled and he nodded his head, but the thought kept dancing in his head that something was amiss... Either way, he turned his attention back to Dizzy and chuckled. "Well, we're doing a good job at cuddling..." he murmured, leaning in to kiss her.Signis nodded his head and bit back a sigh. Patience was something he had in spades. He leaned in, resting his forehead to hers and whispered. "When you do decide, please... Do let me know, and I will go from there..." He murmured before pressing his lips to hers again, just because he could. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Trixie smiles, and this time is wiggling in a good way.
Alright, he sort of understood. But, she senses something is bothering him.
She pulls her lips away from his, but keeps her forehead rested on his. She reaches up a hand and runs it through Signis's hair. "I want to tell you something. . . ." she says in a whisper, lifting her eyelids a little and meeting his eyes through her long lashes. She runs her fingers through the hair behind his ear, and then the skin there. "And, if you hold it against me, I will hurt you. . . ."
She pauses and closes her eyes again, still petting behind his ear. "I commend your patience, and I actually do hate what it must be doing to you. But, I wanted to let you know that I am commited to letting whatever this is go on, and evolve. I'm not just saying this to make you feel better, but, from what I understand, dating is a lot different than a relationship. . . . I can do the loose dating. . . ." She lifts her lashes again, to gauge his reaction. Antidia Dizzy cuddled up to Vale, sighing contently just watching the kids, trying to not to think about what could possibly have gone on with Vale's uncle. That thought will haunt her till she finds out tho. Torvil Rakamash Vale smiled and snuggled with Dizzy, sighing contently and rubbing her belly, starting to hum a bit. A light happy tune, as after all, he wanted happy thoughts for the baby... Happy thoughts! Happy!Signis smiled and brushed Trixie's cheek. He sighed a little and kissed her before he said. "That... That I can do..." he smiled and chuckled a bit. "Though I have to admit... I've not dated before, so I think we'll both be new to it..." He smiled. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Trixie grins, and laughs a little. "Well, see, that's easy. You buy me pretty things, and come and get me from my cave to take me out to dinner, or whatever," she says. "Think you can handle that? Because, I am high maintenance," she says, winking. Torvil Rakamash Signis chuckled. "How about I let you watch me make you pretty things, and then take you out to eat..." He grinned kissing her happily as he held her in his lap, pulling away to smirk. "But then... I really don't know that many places that cater to your diet and sell food..." He chuckled. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bellatrix laughs, leaning against Signis now, and draping one of her arms over his shoulders, more at ease again. "I think it would be a bad idea to let me watch you make me pretty things," she says, fingering the snake chocker again. "And, you," she pokes him in the stomach. "You can stop exploiting that!" she teases, a content hiss in her voice.
Then, she shrugs. "We can eat in. And, I don't eat often, anyway. I am still full from the rabbit. . . ." Torvil Rakamash Signis chuckled and poked her nose with a hand. "But should we not exploit weaknesses we find... You do it to me all the time..." He leaned down and kissed her nose, chuckling. "All is fair in love and war Bellatrix..." He grinned and cuddled with her a bit before pulling her into yet another kiss. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Bellatrix leans into the kiss a long moment, before pulling away again.
"You are not allowed to exploit mine, those are the rules," she says, a little huffily, but with a grin on her face at any rate.
She looks out the window, and notes how dark it is. With an obviously annoyed sigh, she turns back to Signis, and starts to gently pry at his arms.
When she has enough wiggle room, she sort of slides out from under them, and then stands next to him. She leans down and gives him a deep kiss, before saying, "I have to get back to my cave. Lenore will be coming to pick up Bedtime soon. . . ."
She doesn't really wait for a response. It is run out of here to make it in time so Lenore doesn't flip out, or stay and explain to Signis.
Signis, she could talk to later, explain things, and actually enjoy it. Lenore, she doens't want in her cave longer than she has to be. . . .
So, she snatches up Bedtime, and hurries out of the garish hut. . . . Torvil Rakamash Signis smiled and watched her go, standing himself and waving to Vale and Dizzy, having caught Vale staring several times... He'd explain to Vale later, he'd let the man think what he wanted for now, and he too headed out of the hut, moving on towards home...
One day he'd really have to meet this Lenore...

This Valentine's Day s**t is horrible!
Lenore made me take that brat she has been with every day to some stupid dance. The dance was held in this horrible place with garish decorations. Who wants COCONUT cups?! With stupid little POINTLESS umbrellas in them?
Anyway, enough of that. Signis showed up. Yes, I talk a lot about him lately, don't I? I figure that most of my tapes, at this rate, will be full of thoughts about our practice sessions, or encounters.
You know, thinking about that, I have come to the realization that I need to get out and meet more Pae'il. How am I supposed to have people to use, if I don't MEET any?
At any rate, Signis and I got into a minor fight, AGAIN. I swear, most of the time we are around each other, we are fighting. . . .
I love it!
He wanted more from me, again. Sometimes, I wonder. . . . I mean, why would someone want to be with me?
Actually, why wouldn't they? I am the sexiest woman here, I have a charming personality, I am witty as hell . . .
But, that is besides the point. The guy is crazy noble at times. So? Why me? Nobility be DAMNED! That's my take on it. Where does it get you? No where! Doing s**t for other people who probably don't appreciate it, and you never have time for things that YOU want to do.
Again, I am off topic. Signis wants a relationship. He keeps telling me that he loves me, as though the next time he says it, I am going to magically reply in kind. I am still confused when it comes to him.
I compromised though, after I got over my panic. I hate that he does that to me, by the way.
Loose dating. I don't think I could do anything else at this point. . . . I don't think I am capable of ever doing the relationship thing. I want to be my own woman. I want it to be: 'There goes Bellatrix, that b***h!'
Not: 'That's Signis's girlfriend. She's such a b***h!'
Maybe at a later date?
Did I happen to mention that I squirm when he tries to kiss me in public? Yeah, well, I do. And, I think he is going to use that against me. . . .
Maybe I will punch him next time. . . .

The day after Valentine's, and I am thinking I am going to lounge around the cave, maybe go out to make more friends with the snakes.
Nope, I got roped into another training session. I ended up on my a** again.
Well, it only made me want to practice more. I am only taking a break now because I needed one.
I got another blade from Signis. This one is bigger, obviously. And a little heavier. I am not ashamed to say that, yes, my arms feel weak as hell. Tomorrow, they are going to be so sore!
As I hiss, I am lying on my bed, and you, dear tape recorder, are resting on my stomach. I don't even know how I found the strength to press the appropriate button on this thing!
Anyway, I am thinking that I am getting sidetracked. I am making a promise, here and now, to slip out of the cave as early as possible, so that I may look for more snakes.
I don't know, yet, why this is so important. All I know is that something inside of me is telling me that it is one of the most important things that I will ever do.
I have to get to the center of Dragnid Forest. The fiercest snakes are there. I just need to learn how to use my elbow blades, and my sword, before I try getting any further than the edges. Signis said that there are far more dangerous things in the forest besides those snakes.
As if. But, it never hurts to be prepared, right?
My wounds are healing alright. I opened up the shoulder one again. I seem to keep doing that.
But, I like the pain, so I am not complaining.
I have a few more scratches, though. Including another on my face! I cannot let any of these scar!
I will talk to Lenore about it. . . .

Lenore leans against the cave wall, her arms crossed under her chest.
"You know, I shouldn't even give you this stuff," she says, holding a velvet bag filled with potion vials. "I told you not to train. But, you are as stubborn as Nyoka."
Bellatrix narrows her eyes at Lenore, brushing her bangs out of her eye, only to have them fall into it again. Lenore is slightly amused that Trixie would adopt even part of her hairstyle.
Rather than say anything, she lifts a scaled hand to her face, and runs a talon over her lip as she eyes the teenage Pae.
"I am out here, alone might I add. I need to know how to protect myself," Bellatrix says.
"That's your fault," Lenore waves it off. "I told you that you could live in the manor until you were older. You wouldn't listen to me."
"There are too many people in your bloody manor!" Bellatrix says, a slight hiss to her voice.
Lenore sighs, and then shrugs. "Fine, here," she tosses the bag to Trixie.
Bellatrix catches it, and opens it immediately.
"Everything is labeled," Lenore says, pushing herself off of the wall. "You have your basic healing potion, so that mess that you have made of yourself should heal in two hours, tops. And, the other ones are for scars. Be careful with that stuff. If you take too much, your skin will sag. . . ."
Lenore gets just a small measure of pleasure out of the look of horror that comes over Trixie's face. Of course, she is joking, but she won't say that. . . .
"How much is too much?" Bellatrix asks.
"One drop should cover the whole injury," Lenore says, eyeing the scrapes on Trixie's body. "Which dress was ruined?" she asks.
"The gold one," Bellatrix says.
Lenore widens her eyes. "Where is it?"
Bellatrix points toward her room.
It doesn't take Lenore long to find the dress, and she hisses angrily when she sees it. She liked this one!
Sighing, she takes out her wand. With a tap of the tip to the dress, it is clean, and almost as good as new. She folds it up, and puts it in the appropriate drawer.
She joins Bellatrix in the sitting room again, and frowns at her. "Next time you decide that you want to act like a warrior, wear the leather ones, please. That is what they are for. . . ." With that, she leaves the cave.
Bellatrix watches her go, before hurrying to her room to take care of her cuts.

Bellatrix is wincing as she tries to put a cottonball on the bleeding split on her back. She has reoppened it since she got back to the cave, and a million times over when she was at Emerald Haven. Hissing, frustrated, she tosses the cottonball down.
"I am going to get that b***h!" Bellatrix hisses to Snakey. "For now, please, go check on the new friends I made today, Snakey?"
The boa does his version of a nod, and then slithers out of Bellatrix's room.
Sighing, she picks up her tape recorder, and looks down at it. Frowning, she presses record. . . .
I met the most hideous Pae'il today. And, the most cowardly.
I didn't just meet her. No. My first day here, when I was younger and spoke no English, I met her. She threw snow on me.
And now, I have her running scared.
She dared to talk bad about my family! My SNAKES! No one gets away with that. . . .
Anyway, she did the lowest of low things. I was going to leave her, she was not worth my time. So, what does she do? She throws a rock at me! WITH my back turned! What a coward!
So, I set some of my family on her. She badmouthed them, and I have to admit that I flew off the handle. If she hadn't flown into the air, like the sissy that she is, I would have nailed her. I would have sunk my fangs into her, and got a good punch off in her gut.
I will have to be happy with the fact that I struck fear into her heart. She ran away, and I was left there, burning in anger.
I am still trembling from it.
The one day I want Signis to pop by, he is no where. I could use a training session. . . .
And, a reason to gloat. I sent her a little present. Yes. Lenore had come by again, to ask how the potions worked, and I had already had it wrapped and assigned. I asked her sweetly to take me to her manor for a little while, and she did.
So, I am sitting here, in my dark cave, imagining the look on that ugly insect's face when she opens her package to find what it is in it. I can imagine her screaming, and cringing away from it. Maybe even fainting. . . .
I wish I could be there. . . . I will have to content myself with the fact that one of my lovelies is posted outside of that horrible home. She will see all, and report it back to me. . . .
I will just have to talk Lenore into taking me back there in a few days. . . .
Until then, I had best try to get my wound cleaned and healed. . . .

Home, Sweet New Home! 02/17/2006
Lenore steps through the curtains to the cave, and finds Bellatrix lazing about in her room again.
She didn't expect anything different, actually. The sun is out, and she knows how Trixie is about the sun.
But, there is something different about her. . . . "You look rather smug," she says before sitting down on the cave floor.
"I don't know what you are talking about," Bellatrix replies, pretting Snakey.
Lenore simply shrugs. "I had this feeling that you might want to see me today," she says.
Bellatrix opens her eyes, and regards the vampiress with bored disdain. Then, she looks as though something has just gone off in her head, and she sits up, quickly. "Actually, I did want to see you, Lenore."
Lenore sighs. "Well, whatever it is you want, I don't think I want to do it, after that look you gave me."
Bellatrix shoots her an irritated look, now.
"Or that one. But, I will do it anyway. What do you want?"
"Plumbing."
"Ah, well, I had wondered when you would ask about that," she says, standing. She takes her wand from out of the front of her corset, and looks over at Trixie again. "You and Snakey might want to leave. It can get a little messy."
Bellatrix nods, and stands. "Please clean up after yourself," she says, before disappearing from the cave.
Lenore rolls her heavy-lidded eyes, and looks around the cave. While she is at it. . . .
~*~*~***~*~*~
Lenore exits the cave, a good four hours later, brushing the dust off of her clothes. "You can go in now. Look around, see if you want me to change anything. . . ."
Frowning, confused, Bellatrix hurries through the beaded curtains covering the mouth of her cave. . . .
And almost slams into the door in front of her. Frowning, she looks around. Behind the curtains covering what appears to be the mouth of her cave, is a small porch-like area. The ground beneath her bare feet is smoother. Frowning again, she reaches for the stone handle on the stone door, but stops. In the door is a large, glass window, ornately designed so that the cut panes form to make a coiled snake. Smiling a little at this, she opens the door.
On either side of the door are the busts that Nyoka gave her. But, she notes a huge difference. Not only are the floors smoother, but the silk curtains that made up her rooms are gone. In their place are stone walls, with entry ways cut in them so that the rooms may still be accessed.
Bellatrix smiles, thinking back. She thought she had heard some stone shifting, and that ridiculous pop that announces Lenore's arrival and departure. This is signifigant because there is more silk over the stone of the new walls, and hanging from the top of every entryway are crystal-beaded curtains that match the ones out front.
She also notes, after a fashion, that the rooms seem to be bigger, and that there are less of them than there were before. Frowning, she walks toward where the entryway that should be to the sitting room is. It is still there, but has doubled in size, and with the addition of a fireplace. She races to the kitchen area, and finds that that has also grown. There is a cold pantry, not to be confused with a fridge. This is a pantry that Lenore has enchanted to keep everything in it cold. Inside of it is some food, and tons of bottles of water. Bellatrix finds a pantry, with non-parishable food in it as well, and many tea bags, including some of Eirnae's tastey elven blends.
Turning, Bellatrix sees that there are cabinets above the sink now, and they are filled with nice china plates and bowls, all white with silver snakes painted along the edges, and crystal glasses. In the drawers are the silver forks and spoons and knives.
She goes into a smaller room, this one with a stone door, and claps her hands. The never-melting candles in the small chandelier in this room light, and she finds that is it a restroom.
When she leaves this room, she notices a new room,and the last one there. Stepping through the bare entryway of this one, she finds a large dining area, complete with a wood dining table, which is set low to the ground, and silver and black silk pillows around it.
Stepping out of this room, she frowns, wondering where her bedroom and study went. It doesn't take her too long to find the spiral stair case. Her eyebrows wing up as she walks over to it. She carefully climbs the stone steps to teh upper level. Here, she finds five rooms: Her room with a bathroom off of it, a guest room with another, smaller, bathroom off of it, and her study.
After she is sure that all of her things are still there, and finding that there are plenty of new things, something in the smooth stone in the floor catches her eyes.
Her brow furrowed, she crouches down to look at it. For the first time, she realizes that the floor seems like it is made of large stone tiles, and in the middle of each is an etching of her favorite flower: The Queen of the Night.
Hurrying back down the stone steps, she leaves the cave, and emerges from behind the beaded curtains to find a rather energy-drained Lenore leaning against the outer wall of her cave.
Looking on Lenore with a new respect, she can't seem to speak for a while. She is just in shock over everything that she has done for her, even after the way Bellatrix seems to dismiss Lenore at times.
Finally, she says, "I don't know how to thank you. I asked you for plumbing, and you gave me all of that. . . ."
Lenore smiles, and shakes her head. Maybe Bellatrix will come around. . . . "No thanks required, Bellatrix," she says. "Just, enjoy it."
"I will," Bellatrix replies, nodding her head enthusiastically. Then, without even thinking about it, she walks over to hug her.
Lenore returns the hug, rather shocked, and strokes her hair before Bellatrix can pull away.
"Maybe, when you come back next time, you can bring me some art, for the walls? Maybe some pictures of your family?" Bellatrix says.
Further shocked, Lenore nods, regarding Bellatrix thoughtfully behind her dark sunglasses. "I'll do that," she says, somewhat warmed that Bellatrix would even want pictures of everyone. "Well, I had best go. I did more than I thought I was going to, and I need to go hunt."
Bellatrix nods, and before she can disappear, she says, "Thank you again. I appreciate it. Really."
"I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think you would," Lenore says, winking, and disappearing with a pop.
