Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Lillith? Shh, shh, you're fine, you're okay...hon'." he gazed into her eyes, but instead of the joy that I expected after he had just found his true love, he seemed in pain. It was as if the life had just been drained from his soul, emptying into sorrow. "Isn't there anything you could do? You worked in the military, people get injured all the time at war, right? So, what would you do if this was one of your men?" He cleared his throat and layed back his head to see the sky. "Man down." he whispered. "So how do you explain how she thought you were dead? How could you not believe in miracles when here you are, looking down at the woman who thought you no longer existed?!" I stood up and shot a glance into his milk chocolatey brown eyes. "Don't give up, do something!" I felt a growl building up in my chest, but held back as much as possible.

"Set me down, your too weak for this," I looked down at the woman, her eyes ferocious. "You need to find the others and help them! Dusk will be safe with me, I know my way around this side of the city." I gazed at Dusk, who seemed mortifiedly confused and in a daze, probably better for now.

Mallory smiles and has to force himself to actually think about his response. He wanted to just say yes, but he had to be sure. And yet, what reason could he possibly have not to go? He would be with the man he loved and in a far safer place than this one. But what of the friends he'd made here? He would miss them if he left. But surely, they would wish him to be happy? "I would like to..." He looks into Lance's eyes and lightly kissed him. "I will. I have decided."

"Dusk!" I said, maneuvering myself away from the woman, attempting not to hurt her again. I ran to her and caught her in my arms. She wriggled under my embrace quite a bit before realizing that I was obviously stronger than she could ever hope to be. "Thought you could get away that easy?" I held her closer and planted a graceful kiss on her forehead. "You are indubitably the most stubborn little vampire I have ever had the infinite pleasure of meeting," I said plainly. I waited for Alexia to spring upon us, then realized that I had left her on the ground back behind us. "Get on," I said, as if she had a choice, I swung her onto my back and made a leap for the nearest balcony. Before she knew it we were on top of the same building, looking out at the scum of the city.

I yelped slightly as i was thrown over his back, but soon felt better once my feet were back on something more stable. The storm clouds that had began to disapate were overtaken by even larger clouds. I looked up as the rain began once more to pour without the smallest break. I sighed and rested my head against Asher's arm.

Lexa Bated the panties away and quickly jumped after him. She was plenty quick and very good at what she chose to do. "Listen to me worm, Put her down." She leapt at him full force, hoping to tackle him and knock his light out. She used all of her strength, not holding anything back incase it did not work or she missed. It was a foolish choice, but if it did work, she would have him.

I swooped away, just barely missing Alexia as she lunged toward us. What an idiotic move, considering I wasn't going to let anything happen to Dusk who clung to me with all of her energy. "Hang on," I said, taking her arms in my hands. "You know," I said, "things would be so much easier if I wasn't attracted to you,"

"Al!" I shrieked. I looked at Asher then back to the broken window. "Let me go, I have to see if she's okay." Tears welt up and began to flow down my cheeks.
