The Fantasy Forest is a few miles past the famous Malkavian mansion's grand garden. The first few miles into the forest are always loud with chirping birds and other sounds of the forest. After twenty more miles in things are quieter and the temperature is starting to get cooler. The lush full trees are starting to get skinnier and less fuller. Finally you come to a large waterfall and you can feel the cold air nipping at your skin. Even though it's cold the water still rushes quickly over the jagged edges of the waterfall and into the river. A few wolf packs are known to dwell in this territory because it is very peaceful and isolated from other clan members.
There is a path you can follow that will take you to fantasy cave, the iced wonderland. The seasons changed differently in the forest then they do in any other part of the Malkavian Clan area. Most of the time it's very cold and silent in the deeper parts of the forest near the mystical cave but the cave is in it's own changing land and is about twenty or so more miles from the waterfall.

Leah runs through the forest, bare footed as if something is chasing her, her light blond curly hair flows with the wind while she runs. she's wearing a white silky dress that looks like it's feathers of an angels wings. She finally gets to her destination which is by the waterfall, she sits down near the water and lets out a breath of relief, watching the water flow as it always does.

Running for her life through bramble and tree branches, Jade is being chased by a pack of wolves. With no clue as to where she's running to, she prays that she comes to civilization soon enough; the wolves are getting closer and she's becoming more and more weary. The wolves are having an easy time finding her because she's dripping blood all through the forest from her gaping wounds. She notices that the temperature is dropping and the trees are becoming less full. "Where the hell am I?" she thinks to herself as she stops for a moment to catch her breath. "Uh-oh!!!!" she thinks quickly as she hears loud snarls and footsteps behind her. She begins to sprint again, annd before long she finds herself at a waterfall. She barely stops in time before she runs of the world's edge. "...I hope these dogs don't like to get their fur wet..." she said allowed as the wolves became visible. Snarling and drooling as they glared at her, she only had one thought in mind, to jump. The wolves drew upon her closer and closer, and each one looking more menacing than the last. "Alright then...," she said through her clenched teeth, "...Let's do this". One wolf foolishly jumped at her, she quickly dodged, leaving the wolf to fall off the edge and plummet into the icy waters. Two more lunged at her, she smoothly evaded the first, but was overwhelmed by the other and an unexpected companion. All three went over the edge...

Leah jumps up and gasps as she sees the wolves fall over the edge of the waterfall into the rocky waters at the bottom. All but one had faced their doom and ends of their lives. The wolf that had survived was bleeding tremendously from it's side and appeared to have broken it's front paw. It swam towards Leah and the wolf seemed as calm as ever. " suuki.. " Leah sighed and took a piece of her dress and stopped the wolves bleeding and took care of it's wounds. The wolf bowed it's head in shame and thanked leah then ran off. Leah looked up to see if the stranger was still there.

Lucky for Jade she could swim and she narrowly missed the rocks that killed the wolves. The current was strong, especially since she was wounded, weak and weary. She managed to keep her head above water long enough to see the wolf being taken care of by a young woman. "..What?!...That fool tried to kill me!..It's his fault that I'm nearly dead right about now! Ughh!!", her thoughts were angry and filled with confusion. "I can't focus on that right now, gotta get out of this water." The current was pushing and pulling her every which way. She finally managed to work her way towards the river bank. After pulling herself out of the water, she collapsed in the sand. To her dismay, she was not alone, the remaining wolves had found their way down the waterfall and were there to finish the score. "There's no way in hell that I'm going down without a fight!" she thought heatedly. She managed to raise herself to her feet, only to collapse again. "Don't think I'll make this easy for you!" she cried with her vampire teeth flaring. One wolf walked up to her, grabbed her by her throat and raised her off the ground. With a tight grip around her throat, which only grew tighter he said, "It's already easy enough..." he let out a loud laugh as he squeezed tighter. Jade stared helplessly as she found it becoming increasingly difficult to breathe. She namaged to claw his face, but that didn't seem to phase him much. "I'm not...going to die...like this!" She put all the energy she had left into fighting for her freedom, only to no avail. The pack began to laugh at her meager attempts at freeing herself. She did not care, she kept on fighting, while slowly losing consciousness..

Leah looked over to the helpless vampire girl. " Stop Damon! " she yelled at the leader wolf. The wolf looked towards her way and stopped. " Why hath you attacked this girl?? has she done any wrong to you? Do you not remember the laws? " Damon and his pack backed away from the girl. " You can't protect everyone leah.. even if you do help us " he snarled and the pack fled.

Gasping for air, Jade laid in the grass, thankful that she was alive. She wanted so badly to explain to the kind stranger what had in fact happened, but she was exhausted. She tried to get herself to her feet once more, but she didn't have the energy. Her long, wet, black hair stuck to her as other loose strands flailed around as she tried again to get up. She let out a groan of anguish as she gave up. Her clothes were stained with blood, some hers, and some not, and ripped. She collapsed again to the ground, and made no more attempts to get up. She passed out in the cool grass and prayed that the stranger was truly as kind as she had led Jade to believe that she wouldn't kill her in her sleep, or have the wolves return to finish the job...

Leah looked at the girl with her ice blue eyes, she closed them and muttered a few words under her breath. A few moments later a white stallion came forth from between the trees and came to Leah's side. Leah welcomed it then got onto the horse's bareback and crosses over the river. As it got deeper the horse had to swim but it made it to the other side. She got off the horse, and attended the girl. She attempted to pick up the girl and put her on the horse, then got in back of her and she rode to a near by castle. The guards at the castle took the girl and put her in a room where she was given hospitality for.

The healers come out of the girl's room, and tell Leah " milady.. this girl isn't normal. " leah nods " i know.. she's a vampire but she was getting attacked and i couldn't just like abandon her " one of the healers shrug their shoulders. " she is alright now but i don't think you're father will let a vampire stay ". Leah looked in the room at the girl that was still sleeping, and sighed.

Nightmares plagued Jade's mind as she laid unconscious. Voices and shouting sounded all too real and the images she was seeing were becoming too unbearable. Her home was under attack. Children and women were screaming and trying to hide as the demons came down and attacked. Men fought hard, but were no match for the creatures. Jade fought along side the men, but she too was no match for the unnatural beings. One came gunning straight for her...She woke up with great fright, bearing her teeth and battle-glare as her jade-green eyes grew dark and austere; she was ready for a fight, regardless of her current physical condition. She found that she had startled the women who were in the room, causing them to run out screaming. She calmed down, lessening the intensity in her eyes and ferociousness in her teeth. For a moment, she felt whoozy; she reached her hand to her head as she struggled to keep consciousness. Apparently she had done to much, before she knew it, she was down for the count again.

Leah's eyes widen with shock as she watches the women leave, she enters the room silently trying not to disturb the girl. " how are you feeling? " she asked.

Her forhead was laced with sweat, and her throat was still feeling tight and in an immense amount of pain. She tried to speak to the woman who had helped her, but her voicebox felt too pained and wouldn't allow her to utter a single word. She was in great pain and duress. From her own self-assessment, she figured that a few of her ribs were broken. She was pretty banged up in short. She figured that since she couldn't speak with her voice, that she would have to do so with her thoughts...
"Not too good. Your 'companions' really did a number on me...I think the waterfall dive is what really did it though. Thank you by the way, for interveining."

nods " I apologize for their sudden attack, they usually don't break the laws. Damon is starting to act like he's the ruler around here.. but don't worry you'll be alright soon enough " tries to smile to reassure her.

Jade breaks the "thought conversation" for a moment to have a personal thought of her own: "I highly doubt that...," she thinks as she looks toward the open window. She looks back at the the woman, continues the "thought convo", platering a fake smile on her face, "Yeah, yeah, I'm sure of it..." she told her. Jade figured that she woman was looking for an explanation as to what it was that happened...well, now is a good a time as any to give it to her.
One of their clan members was murdered. They think I did it, but I found him that way, well, he was dying when I found him...I tried to help him, but he died right there in my arms...He was bleeding immensely, someone did a real number on him...Anyhoo, it got all over my clothes.
She paused for a moment, recollecting on the gruesome event.
I was just heading into the forest for a walk like I always do. Not too far in, I found him. He still had some fight left in him, so he attacked me, that's how I got a few of my wounds. When he realized that I wasn't the enemy, he collapsed and in with bated breath, he apologized continously and with sincerity. I held him in my arms, and inspected his wounds only to find that, his chest stopped moving. I gently laid him down on the ground, and as I turned to leave the forest to go and find some help, -they- came. It was unreal how it all got out of control soo fast...it was even more unreal as to how quick they got there, almost like, they were there already...
She paused again...
...then, well, you know the rest. She looked away from the woman and back to the window.
