Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tinania was deep in thought as she walked through the forest, it was early evening yet because of the trees it was darker then it was suppose to be within the forest. Her mind was still trying to process everything that had happen today that she hadn't once heard the footsteps that were following behind her.

It wasn't until she heard a twig snapping that she snapped back to reality. Reaching down to grab her blade she was cut off by lighting quick speed of Ducan as he reached down grabbing her wrist, his other hand grabbing a fist full of her hair pulling her head back so she could look into his eyes "I told you...your mine, and because you turned into a little b***h for that guy you have to die.."

Terror creeped into Tinania's eyes and she screams out as Ducan bend her wrist back farther then it should have gone. She heard along with felt the the bone snapping causing her stomach to knot up in pain. Breathing hard she hisses between her teeth "Your an a*****e Ducan I'll never be yours." balling up her fist she slams her other arm backwards aiming her elbow right for his ribs.

Crying out in pain he pushes her forward watching her land hard on broken wrist. Crying out in pain she Tinania pushes off the ground with her other hand as she pulls the emo bag off going for her blade.

Crying out she tries to get free as Ducan's arm warps around her chest immobilizing her. Breathing slowly she shakes her head looking at Ducan from the corner of her eye "Ducan stop this..." she stop speaking when she felt the cold metal against her skin at her throat.

Her breathing picked up which only Ducan to smiles "Shhh, Shh, now not the time to pick up your breathing Nani..." he whisper this against her ear through her hair.

Taking a deep breath she felt the sting of the blade as the blade penetrated the flesh covering the most important bloodways in her body, the carotid artery. She sucked in air through her teeth and held her breath as tears threaten to spill down her cheeks.

Ducan smiles rubbing his face in her hair "I could kill you right now then have my way with your body. Or I could have my way with you now.." with that he let the blade fall away from her neck as he kicked her soild right int he back causing her to fall foward onto all fours.

Ducan was right on top of her in an instant, she tries to scream but the punch he landed hard at the side of her jaw. She tasted blood, her blood. Her body was trembling as she looked up at Ducan spitting the blood right into his face.

Growling he didn't care any more as he lifted the blade. Tinania eyes widen and she closed them screaming out as a split second later she felt the blade rip right through the muscles before her shoulder blade.

Pulling the blade out again Ducan lifted her up looking at her face, a twisted smile formed on his lips as he pulls her face close to his. "I'm going to enjoy your body once your dead." he locks his lips with hers. Tinania growls biting down as hard as she can when his tongue snakes between her lips.

Crying out he pulled back then knocked her sqaure in the eyes watching her tumble to the ground. What he didn't see was the back of her head hit a rock cracking it alittle.

Wiping the blood from his lip he kneels down looking at her, when he see that she is knocked out and the back of her head was bleed he laughs alittle dropping her blade down next to her as he stood "Can't say I won't miss you Tinania." spitting on the ground near her lifeless body he watches for a few mintues as the blood forms around her head.

With a twisted smile he looks around before turning and heading back into the forest to heading down one of the dirt paths.

The voice seem so distance to her, as did the touch to her back. But it had been enough to awaken her even if it was only for a few moment. Wincing she breathes slowly her as she kept her eyes closed, her head was throbbing, almost to the point it felt like she was being ripped apart.

She felt like she was slowly losing all sense as to what was going on. Her body felt like lead, as her very life was draining from the body. "Damien..." her voice was barely above a whisper and it sounded like it was being forced.

She was already extremely pale, almost ghost like against the blood that was caked on her lips.

Tinania cries out as she was turned over. Her breathing seemed to be forced as she heard Nyoka explain to her what she was about to do. Feeling the liquid run down her throat, she coughs alittle causing the pain in her head to only intensify.

Opening her eyes slowly the one that had been hit was already swelling, but even then she was trying to laugh. She could see it in both thier bodies that she was in trouble. Looking to Damien she winces alittle "I tried....to...stay...away...from...him...." closing her eyes to block the pain again she soon fell quiet again as she blacked out.

Her chest rose and fell very slowly...

Krista walks out to of bedroom running her hand through her hair looking to Rinion "Yes Rinion you called?" her hair was soaking wet as she has just gotten out of the shower.

Melantha walked out of the study shifting her top alittle so that it was once again long sleeves. She stopped only when she sniffed the air, her eyes widen alittle as she spoke a single word "Tinania..."

Krista looked at her sister then at Rinion. That gut feeling of fear sinking in before she turned racing out of the house heading towards the main home. She didn't even stop to see if Rinion and Melantha were following her.

Coming to a halt when she reaches the sitting room, it was Melantha who caught her as she stumbled alittle. Krista nearly paled as she saw the sight of her youngest daugther on the stretcher.

Pulling away from Melantha arms' she went to Tinania side looking her over her voice was tembling as she looked up "What happen?!?!?" she was doing well trying to stay calm as Melanatha stayed away growling deep in her throat.

Tinania seem to not move, in fact if it wasn't for her chest rising and falling very slowly she appeared almost dead. She seem to be growing paler by the minute even after they had managed to stop the blood flow.

Tinania was slowly starting to come to once again because of the potions, the wounds were slowly healing but the pain in her head was worse then ever. She had heard Damien's word about being found after work and she spoke a simple name before slipping back under "Ducan....."

Krista looked at her daugther her eyes going slightly wide as she spoke, shaking her head she bites her bottom lip "There no way, he always been a sweet young man...." she looked up when she hears a fist go through the wall.

Melantha's eyes were glowing as she looked toward her niece. She had failed her, by not protecting her from Ducan "He not sweet Krista, look what he did!!! He been hurting her for months now!!! Tinania's life nearly hanging here...." she stops screaming looking away as she tried to calm herself.

Trembling Krista backs away from Tinania as she pulls out her phone, she knew of three other people who needed to call. Lookign down at her cell she click speed dial putting the phone to her ear "Aylana, get here as fast as you can hun. Its Tinania she been hurt....tell Surion if he at work with you..."

Quickly hanging up the phone she dials another number as the tears offically started falling. She needed to get Ala here, she knew it was the only way they were going to be able to keep Surion calm.



Aylana eyes had widen as her heard her mother's voice tell her somethign had happen to her sister, she turns to the other bartender "I gotta go, something happen at home." placing the money into the register she slips from behind the bar heading toward the dance floor in a near sprint.

Climbing up the ladder she pulls at Surion's pant's leg screaming to him over the music "Surion!!! We gotta go!!! Tinania been hurt!!!!"

Surion looked down at the feel of the tug on his pants... But it was the words he heard. He didn't worry about changing, or getting any of his things, he just pulled a tiny disc from his pouch and expanded it, and jumped from the platform with it. There was no telling him twice to hurry as he lands on the disc and heads for the doors at top speed

Ala took the call and heard moreso the desperateness of the voices on the other end of the line over and the words 'Aylana', 'Surion', 'Tinania', 'need them' and 'club' it was more then she needed to hear. And with a loud CRACK she jumped the nether straight finding Aylana in a fairly still place, though Surion was moving, he'd be harder... Oh well Aylana first "Eyes closed" she says without another word to the Fa'e when seeing her though having to take a double take at the not-so-blue figure the scent giving her away rather then the appearance. And pulls her into the Nether soon as the young woman's eyes are shut, soon landing on the Haven stoop with her before disappearing again

Rinion holds Krista closer, making soothing noises as he rubs her back and strokes her hair. He can't look over at Tinania, either. He saw the pain in her face, and it tears at him. Instead, he focuses his energy on trying to soothe Krista.

Lenore's eyes soften considerably when she sees Mel's face. Not even thinking, she strides over to her, and kneels beside Mel. She takes her free hand in her own scaled one, giving it a squeeze just as Mel had done to Tinania. She knows how Mel's mind works, and she is trying her best to give her some of her own strength. She nods to her, in response to her mouthed words, and offers her a shakey smile, as if trying to tell her it will be alright.

Meanwhile, Damien, always trying to be the strong one, puts an arm around Aylana. "She'll be alright," he says, in his soft voice. "She's already healing."

~*~*~***~*~*~

Nyoka knows how to track. Countless hours of her life have been spent hunting, and she uses all of her skill to follow Ducan. He didn't try to cover his tracks, and she is using his sloppiness against him.

Gripping her dagger in her right hand, she looks down at the trail of blood, and a twisted smile comes to her lips. Judging by the faint smell of the smoke wafting on the breeze, she is getting closer.

Silently, she hurries on quick feet through the forest, stalking her prey.

Krista looks up hearing Surion's voice. She didn't dare move as she hides her face back in Rinion's chest. She was trembling even more at the thought of Surion having to see Tinania like this. Looking up alittle se did look over at Tinania this time as the tears continue to fall. She was beating herself up for not being there like she should have. If she had known she could have stopped it.

Mel looked down as Lenore took her hand closing her eyes a single tear slips down her face but she doesn't care as she continues to squeeze Tinania's hand lightly. She refused to be weak, she was going to stay strong no matter what.

Aylana looks at Damien giving him a side hug before turning when she hears Surion's voice. Nodding to Damien she slips away from him but grabs his hand "Were going to have to calm Surion before he gets into this room....And I know his mother gonna need calming.." with that she turns heading into the hallway to meet both Surion and Ala.



Finishig the cig, Ducan tossed it to the ground stepping on it as he lit up another. He didn't know why he was so damn nervous. But his hand was trembling as he pulled the cig from his mouth.

"
All he need was some vodka, and some sleep. After that he would be fine and this night would be forgotten to him.
