Picking Up Stars Vice Captain

 Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 8:20 pm
Her fingers idly played with her hair and she had the thought once again to cut it. It annoyed her when it rested against her shoulders anyway. She reached over and lightly trailed her fingers in the water, listening to his words but refusing to look at him. How did he know those things about her? She'd hidden her nature from her own family for years until a slip and then things had gotten out of hand. But he had the ability to get right past all her defenses, all her walls and see her, naked before him. "No but knowing how you'll react if you do find out is enough to dissuade me." She shivered lightly when she thought about that disappointment shining in his eyes. That had stabbed her right where it hurt most and she wasn't looking forward to experiencing anything like it ever again. Finally she pushed herself to her feet and reached down picking up the bottom of the shirt. She hated being covered like this. Considering the extra fabric for a moment she finally tied it into a quick knot just above her swollen belly shoved her sleeves further up her arms. A reluctant smile tilted her lips softly as she turned to look at him and shook her head. "No you don't. You're not a coward and never have been..." If only she could say the same about herself. Twisting her hands lightly she took tentative steps towards him and lowerd her gaze. "Thank you for coming to my aid. Even if I hate to admit it, I really did need it. I got in over my head and without your assistance..." she trailed off there not really wanting to think about what could have happened.

Kat blinked her eyes. what was a cat doing in her soccer game? She was sure her mother wouldn't appriciate having her pies ruined by a big cat!
She put a bloody hand up to her face, making small trails through the dirt and body fluids there.
"Mom says it's time for bed... say goodnight please? Say goodnight to daddy... and... and..." She tried to swallow but something was worng with her throat, she was shure it would be fine in the morning when she woke up.
"And say goodnight to moonstone, let him know... the carving...the carving on the desk..."
her eyes were getting heavy, she must have been more tired then she had thought. Sleep sounded good, maybe if she slept... if only for a little bit?
Kat's world went dark as the last of her blood spilled to the ground from the gaping wounds in her mangled body.

"Oh now you don't. You aren't about to die on me, Moonstone will have my guts for garters."
His hand flared with red energy, sparkling a bit like flame.
"Alright you damned demonic pissant powers. You better work for me on this one."
Okay. we need blood. lots of blood for transfusion. keep that girl alive..at least that was the idea. keep her heart pumping...hmm. he was much larger..lets try this.
Siphon. from his hand to her, blood through skin into one body from another. and damn these powers they better work.
"You can tell him. we'll get you back to the clinic..and I'll do what i can to patch you up...but this really isn't my area.."
Taking hold of her wrist, enclosing it with his hand.
"come on. make this work."
then wisps. one darting and darting fast. the integrity. Whirlwind, the elves there. one of them had to be a cleric type. Warhammer was a shaman, even he woudl be appreciated right now. Find those that can offer aid. bring them to him. demand, summon, threaten, cajole. whatever was needed. he was not losing anyone! His father never lost a packmate to an outside force, and he wasn't going to let his father down in that manner like he did with his strength and his skills.

Yeah that answered her question...oh well, she was used to his short worded defensive mode by this point, so she let it go. With a sigh she got up and then picked up her letter. "I'm going to see Serino..." Thus leaving the room with letter in hand and making her way out to the stables and thus to a Serino who was lazing about. "Get up you...I need you to take a letter to mother and father for me." To which a short conversation about how he wanted apples for it ensued and ended with her aggreeing to it. Of course with the departure her dear friend...those now yearling from combinbed time in both places...horses wanted her attention. To which they got pets and what not. "Sorry guys, can't rough around with you anymore. Have to be careful with myself or Malik will tie me to the bed and lock the doors and windows to our room."
"You would have been osmosised by a worm." His hands letting go of each other, he brought two of them under her chin and tilted her head back up so that she didn't have her eyes turned down to him. He couldn't stand having someone do that to him if he wasn't trying to get them too. Maybe because he never wanted to cast his eyes down either. "And how do I act that dissuades you so? It's not as if I lift hand or voice to you..."More or less seeing if his little tactic was that had her off.

Malik had forgotten to answer her question and when she walked off he wanted to talk to her...and went to the stables and put hsi hands on her shoulders.
"A shadow cat is a displacer beast. looks like a big panther, with two really long nasty tentacles coming out at about it's shoulders. it's fast, stealthy, and mean. it has the ability to displace itself. make itself appear to be somewhere it's not. usually in front of itself. that was you get close, go for a kill, andit grabs you with it's tentacles or the like. very dangerous alone, even worse if there's more than one."

Warhammer felt the little ghostly creature creep into the hold, he looked at it, and heard the message creep from it. "Alas, my Goddess is dead, and I am without magic." His once might head looked rather morbid, and very depressed.

Kat felt good. She was happy... she didn't know where she was... but it was a place surrounded in her happiest memories.
There was the kitten her Father had given her when she was five...
And That was the first time she had read "The Cremation Of Sam McGee"...
There was her first carving... and supper time with her family... the first time she met Onyx and Moonstone... the others from that castle thing she was at for a time...The Starting of the Hospital.
Kat smiled. yeah, she felt good. 'I think I'll stay here."

Arthur smiled a little bit as he left the dinning hall, he just finish having a nice meal and felt full and re-energized which made his body all happy and not complaining about the soreness all over his body. Though as usual the damn slaves kept on bugging the hall out of him, he needed to do something about that and soon before things get way to much out of hand. Where is everyone...? he wondered as he scratched his head lightly, Piper and Malik might be together as always but Zahara and Sevilin might be around, if so then where the hell can they be? The young elf ran a hand slowly through his soft hair and sighed a bit, even though they will always be on him for something that may be wrong on how he acted towards them he didn't mind not knowing what the others were up to. So curious just a little bit Arthur set out to look around the fortress and see what was going on.

She took a deep breath and swallowed forming the words in her mind to explain her point correctly. "No...but I don't like it when you look at me like that." Her voice quavered and she could almost feel the guilt suffocating her just thinking about it. And she'd felt so lonely and so upset and hadn't even felt right asking for comfort for it. Her eyes filled and that overwhelming feeling of loneliness pushed her forward till she was standing as close as she could get with her current state. Normally she would have just brought her arms up and run her hands along her arms to rid herself of the bereft feeling but this time she took a different route entirely. Refusing to pause and ponder, she merely moved forward until her head was buried in his chest, one hand clutching his shoulder as she whispered brokenly, the words muffled against his chest. "You're the only one who's ever looked at me like that and it...it hurts..."

Okay this wasn't working. New tactic. demonic possession. that's a power he should have, right?
So, trying to force his spiritual presence into her flesh. he was going to force this damned girl to life. No losing anyone this time! Damn it Moonstone! get your a** here!
The wisp shot through Warhammer, and around, and growled and snarled.
Faith. Faith is what gives power. have faith, and you have power. a god cannot do anything without your beleif. find a new power, and come help! A child is dying. and I am not able to heal! Or get teh elf! get one to help, or if you are so without power, we will take our anger on your flesh if her life fades
Hey, Onyx was getting desperate here.
"you haven't been given leave to die, your still on duty. SO get your lazy eyes open and get your heart pumping again."

Kat's corpse opened its eyes and blinked.
It stared at the sky.
It didn't move.
It didn't speak.
The soul had already left.

A look back over her shoulder away from horses who were vieing for attention from her, at the feeling of hands on her shoulders, though she knew it was Malik before he even touched her, bond tuggings and what not. Seemed he had decided it was better to set her curiosity to rest before she prehaps thought to assuage it herself...which yes the thought had somewhat crossed her mind. "Sounds like something that would make a bad house pet." Returning her attention to nudging snouts a moment to give out some more pets. "And so then how do you get rid of one? Something horribly simple or perhaps overly complicated?"
So, it was in the silence that the messages got through to her and not in the physical expression of anger and what not? Just as he thought. Though he blinked and dared even gave a look of utter surprise as those eyes seemed to shimmer with something and she then moved close as she could get to him being as she was, inclinging her head to more or less press it to his chest as one hand went to his shoulder. Though another blink at her little proclomation. "I didn't mean to hurt you...merely to try and make you understand." Letting his arms come around her, giving her what she was actively seeking without verbally asking.

Warhammer looked at the small ball of light, "My love of my Goddess was my power. That cannot easily be replaced." He stood, "But one on this ship may be able to help her." He walked out of the hold for the first time since his goddess fell, and hollared up the cavity of the ship. "STONESHAPER!"
Within seconds, the stone coloured human was by the minotaur. "Oftly lively today, mate."
"A girl needs help."
"Who?"

Onyx looked, titled his head. processing. where had he seen that expression before. processing. then eyes went cold, angry.
He dropped her arm, and just stood up. his wings only flitted a bit. his claws extended, his fingers splayed out. his lips twitched, curled, and then he let out with anger, and saddeness. He threw his head back and roared loudly, wings splaying out and didn't care who or what heard him.
That thing. that black tentacled thing...his eyes burned with demonic power. it flowwed through his viens, burned in his blood. vengence, destruction. that's all he wanted right now. to kill that thing, to crush it, to break every bone it's body and let it live while he put through a meat grinder. he wanted to her it scream.
And Moonstone, for that matter.
Kat. a thing killed her...a beast with tentacle, that looks liek a cat. can she be brought back?
Malik shrugged lightly.
"you kill it like you would anything else, just get past it's defenses."
Petting lightly at the yearlings.

"No. Her life cycle is complete. No druid dare turn our backs on the natural order." Stoneshaper said and walked away.
Warhammer turned his head to the spectre, "I know not of anyone who could preform such a feat. The Captain most certainly would." He looked about the ship, and felt rather clostrophobic. He walked his way to the cargo hatch which he used to get up and down from the deck, and climbed through. That rather surprised quite a number of people, but they left him be. "It is sad to lose someone you love."
Erchin bolted away from the monsterous cat creature that just rampaged about the body of her doctor. She ran and ran until she found her aunt, who craddled the child in her arms.
