The Tale of Lynia

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari blinked before smiling softly and heading into her room.

[Strega]

Skittles changed into the black cat and trotted down the hall happily.

[Kitty_Chan]

(( okay.... Should we make it daytime? ))

Katari sighed before plopping down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling.

[Strega]

((Sure.))

Sora woke up the next morning, fairly confused, and a weird feeling in his gut.

Skittles was curled up at the foot of Miho's bed.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora blinked her eyes open before rubbing them. She stood, having slept against her door.

Katari sighed, staring at her own reflection before walking into the main hallway,

[Strega]

Skittles opened an eye, stretched his arms, flexing his claws. He jumped down and walked into the hall.

Sora stood and staggered, using the wall to hold him up.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari walked down the hall, blinking as she saw Sora.
"You feeling okay?" She asked.

Auroa stretched before looking in the mirror. She sighed, opening her door and closing her eyes, walking down the hallway.

[Strega]

Sora shrugged, "Just a bit dizzy.... And I've been really rude and now I wanna crawl in a hole and die."
Skittles was sitting on a bench closeby, vmpire form, "He's back to normal." he smiled.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Well... As normal as he'll get." Katari smiled, patting Sora on the shoulder. "So! Any idea of why you've been so rude?"

[Strega]

"... No, not really...." Sora gave her a really confused look, which sent Skittles to the floor laughing.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari sweatdropped. "Yes... well... I suppose it's because you're human."

[Strega]

Sora blinked, "Aurora hates me, doesn't she?" he flinched.
"None sense!" Skittles said cheerily. He was a morning person, if no one couldn't tell.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Of course not! She's just a bit upset." Katari offered a smile.
"Hello Katari. Hello Skittles." Aurora muttered as she walked down the hall.

[Strega]

Sora was deflated.
Skittles waved, " 'Ello, Aurora!"

((... *eye twitch* I made him too cheery....*eye twitch*))

[Kitty_Chan]

(( nooo.... He's Skittles! Skittles are always fun! ^-^ ))

Katari winced, having Aurora contradict what she and Skittles had tried to prove.


(( WHOO! I sound smart! ^-^ ))

[Strega]

((lol))

Sora sighed, shoulders slumped, "I'm gonna try to find something to do...." he walked back into his room, a spot on the wall suddenly seeming really interesting.

Skittles blinked, "That didn't go well......"

[Kitty_Chan]

"Not at all..." Katari sighed. "We need to get them to talk, though...."

[Strega]

".... This oughtta get interesting.... I call Sora." Skittles chuckled.

[Kitty_Chan]

"What? No! I meant talk to each other!"

[Strega]

"Yeah, but somehow they have to be in the same spot at the same time. I call convincing Sora, silly!" Skittles grinned.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Convincing won't work." Katari thought for a moment before snapping her fingers. "So trickey will!"

[Strega]

"... And how are we doing that?" Skittles looked at her, now interested in the topic.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Alright, we just need to tell them that there's something in some room and then lock them in." Katari thought again. "But we need to make it sound convincing...."

[Strega]

"What do they both like?..... Their horses?" Skittles raised an eyebrow.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Tara and Lia..." Katari nodded. "Of course, we need to get them in a room, so how do we accociate that with the horses?"

[Strega]

"Well, I found Sora's horse a few days back and say that her's are injured or something...." Skittles shrugged.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Alright. You tell him that the horse is in the room resting and I'll give Aurora my lie." Katari smiled.

[Strega]

"Nkay!" Skittles skipped off.

[Kitty_Chan]

KAtari thought for a moment before running after Skittles. "Waitwaitwaitwait! Tell him that the horse is in the dungeon instead!"

[Strega]

"Okay!" Skittles continued to skip.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari rolled her eyes before juogging down the hallway, keeping an eye out for Aurora.

[Strega]

"SOOOOOOO-RAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Skittles sang.
"What?" Sora mumbled.
"I know where Bolt is...."

[Kitty_Chan]

"Aurora!" Katari called.
"Yeah?"
"We've found a strange human snooping arund the place. He looks like he was in the army."
Aurora's eyes narrowed. "Show me."
Katari nodded, taking her in the direction of the dungeon.

[Strega]

Sora followed a giddy Skittles. His happiness even made Sora want to strangle him.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora followed Katari into the dungeon. She began to walk to the far end. Aurora looked in each cell, looking for the human.

[Strega]

Skittles skipped into a cell, where Bolt was waiting. Sora stared happily. Skittles giggled and disappeared.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Here we go!" Katari smiled, stopping at the one with Sora. Aurora blinked before gawking as she was literally shoved in. Katari slid the door closed, locking it as Aurora growled.

[Strega]

Skittles skipped away, "Good luck kiddies, and no killing each other!"

Sora stared at Aurora, then focused on the horse.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Why you-!" Auroa ran up to the door, shaking it. "Let me out!"
"No... I don't think I will." Katari smiled before waving. "Bye!"
"NO!"

[Strega]

Sora stroked Bolt's nose. Bolt nudged him happily.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora growled, holding onto two of the bars so tight, her knuckles were white.

[Strega]

"I'm sorry...." Sora whispered.

"Do ya think we should've explained to her what was wrong with him?" Skittles waited for Katari.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari froze, a giant sweatdrop at her forehead.
"Whoops...."

"For what...?" She muttered.

[Strega]

"Being a jerk...." Sora couldn't look her in the eyes.

".... Should we go back?" Skittles looked at her.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Nah. They'll figure it out." Katari shrugged. "That, or one of them will die. And it'll probably be the human."

Aurora kept herself from scoffing, still staring out the cell.


(( gotta go. night! ))

[Strega]

((Kk, night.))

Sora bit his lip, trying not to be his usual self and cry.

"... Great." Skittles sighed holding out his arm, "Breakfast?"

[Kitty_Chan]

"Prove it...." Aurora muttered, still staring out the cell.

"Sure!" Katari smiled, taking his arm.

[Strega]

Skittles smiled and walked forward, ".... Katari.... Will you not flip out if I tell you something really, really strange that you'll never believe?"

Sora thinks for a second, then kisses Aurora.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Huh?" Katari blinked. "What is it?"

Aurora gently pushed Sora away and stared down, sadly.

[Strega]

"Aurora...." Sora stared sadly.

"That I'm really a prince and me missing would be the reason of the sudden violentness in this war." Skittles said plainly.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari paused for a moment before continuing along. "Wow...."

"I don't know...." Aurora whispered, making a fist.

[Strega]

Sora flinched at the sight of her fist.

Skittles laughed, "That went better then planned."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora's eyes teared up before she closed them.

"Well.... I'm still taking it in..." Katari shrugged.

[Strega]

"Yeah, I'm waiting for the, 'Wait.... WHAT?!' to come. Until then, I'll enjoy this reaction...." Skittles put his hands behind his head.

Sora stared at the floor.

[Kitty_Chan]

"I've seen and heard more surprising things....."

"... I just don't know anymore, Sora...." Aurora whispered, taking a step away form him.

[Strega]

Sora closed his eyes.

Skittles laughed.

[Kitty_Chan]

"What's so funny?" Katari eyed him.

"I'm sorry...." Aurora whispered.

[Strega]

"Everyone is.... I'm sick and tired of hearing sorry...." Sora mumbles.

Skittles shrugged, "Just need a light in such dark times."

[Kitty_Chan]

"I see...." Katari nodded, knowingly. "I hope those two are okay..."

Aurora averted her gaze before turning back to the cell door.

[Strega]

Sora sat down on the ground, dead silent.

Skittles bit his lip, "I don't know...."

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari sighed. "It'll be hard...."

Aurora just stared outside the cell, vision blurry.

[Strega]

Sora's happiness and willfulness diminished.

Skittles opened the room to the dining hall, "Mi'lady."

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari smiled, walking in. "Thank you!"

Aurora closed her eyes again.

[Strega]

Bolt nudged Aurora.

Skittles nodded.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora carefully stroked the middle of Bolt's forhead, eyes still closed.

Katari made a motion for Skittles to come in with her hand, smiling.

[Strega]

Skittles sat down.

Bolt closed her eyes, 'I know human.'

[Kitty_Chan]

'Human.....?' Aurora muttered to Bolt.

Katari sat as well, looking at the already prepared table of fruits.

[Strega]

Skittles picked up a carrot and nibbled on the tip, mumbling, "Dang habbits...."

Bolt nodded, 'Yes. Sora... taught me... He was young and didn't know what he was doing.'

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari stilfed her laughter, smiling widely.

'.....' Aurora just stared down, sadly.

[Strega]

Skittles grinned, turning into a rabbit, still eating the carrot.

Bolt nudged her again, 'She hurt his health...'

[Kitty_Chan]

'She....?' Aurora blinked.

Katari smiled. "I can see why Miho has you as her supposed 'pet'."

[Strega]

Skittles turned into a human state, slight pain in his eyes, "Yes, and unfortunatley that's why your people have lost lives and family members and places to live...."

'That girl... Dark and selfish....'

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari sighed. "It's not your fault.... I knew this would happen sooner or later...."

'Oh.... HER...' Aurora scowled, grippping the bars of the cell tightly.

[Strega]

Skittles stared at Katari sadly, "It could have been prevented."

'Stop that. He's scared when you do that.'

[Kitty_Chan]

'Hn. I should just rip Miho to shreds... then he would never get scared of me ever again...' Aurora thought, loosening her grip.

"Yes, well, so can everything else." Katari shrugged. "But it's life. There are things to and not to prevent. A few deaths may be sorrowful, but having more is dreadful..."

[Strega]

"A few? Katari, over half of them died, rather brutifully." Skittles frowned.

'No, then he'd still flinch.'

[Kitty_Chan]

"I'm talking about the whole Elevn race." Katari folded her hands. "Though Earthen Elves have decreased, there are still plenty Fire and Water...."

'Then what do you want me to do?!?' Aurora yelled, leaning her head on the bars, tears streaming down her face.

[Strega]

'Talk to him... He's emotional... Like a girl...'

"Hmm... That is what your elements depend on..." Skittles picked up a drink.

[Kitty_Chan]

'I can't....' Aurora practically whispered.

"What do you mean?" Katari blinked.

[Strega]

"Your elements that the elves use. You don't grasp all of them, just one and build it up, though you could use all. You support one another, which is good, but if one dies-" Skittles put out a candle, "-it makes one too strong and the other too weak."

'You could try. Like he did.'

[Kitty_Chan]

'I......' Aurora held in sob as she bit her lip.

"The Distribution of Elements." Katari nodded her head, slowly.

[Strega]

"But, light or darkness can make or break everything. In your case, you're harboring both. You have the keepers of the darkness, and the prince of the light himself." Skittles took a drink.

Sora didn't look up.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari closed her eyes. "I suppose that's true...."

Aurora slumped to the floor, staring down still.

[Strega]

Bolt nudged Aurora, 'He won't listen to me.'

Skittles strugged, "But on a lighter to-move right about a foot."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora continued staring down, ignoring Bolt.

"Why?" Katari blinked, still moving to the right.

[Strega]

Bolt huffed, knocking Aurora next to Sora and blocks the way to the cell door.

"WHEEEEEEE!" M&M came soaring down from the ceiling.
Skittles pointed, "That's why."

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari stared at M&M, confused. "I wondered where she had gone..."

"Sora... I..." Aurora managed to whisper. "... It just... hurts..."

[Strega]

"I don't know what happened. Skittles tried to explain, but I'm HUMAN Aurora. I don't understand anything." Sora looks at her.

M&M grinned, tackling her brother, who fell backward and onto the floor, both laughing.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari laughed softly, smiling.

"It hurts... to think about...." Aurora continued, still staring down.

[Strega]

"The fact that I'm human, or that I can lose my mind because a vampire can suck it away?!" Sora stared hard at her.

M&M stood, then promptly tackled Katari.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora looked up at him, eyes teary. ".... That I'll lose you...."

"Kyaa!" Katari gawked, falling to the floor.

[Strega]

"Emmy!" Skittles laughed harder as the small girl kissed Katari's cheek and ran away. Skittles walked over to Katari, still laughing, "Sorry about that."

"Well stop!" Sora slumped his shoulders, "Please...."

[Kitty_Chan]

"Stop what?!?" Aurora snapped. "Worrying about how maybe if I allow myself to love you, I'll just end up being alone again?!? Whether it be Miho or that fact that you don't really care!!!"

"It's fine...." Katari laughed, standing.

[Strega]

"She loves climbing things then falling.... It's kind off cute to watch her wake people up." Skittles picked up the chairs that fell.

"You act like I'm a newborn child! Like I need to be craddled every second of the day!" Sora said frusturated.

[Kitty_Chan]

"I bet it is..." Katari smiled. "How old?"

"Because I don't want you to leave me!" Aurora cried out, tears running down. She covered her face.

[Strega]

"Then stop smothering me, but don't shun me!" Sora watched her, "I have needs and feelings too." he slowly stood and walked to her.

"Er....." Skittles blinked, "I'm 4972, so that makes her...... 381."

[Kitty_Chan]

"Okay..." Katari sweatdropped. "... How old in HUMAN years???"

"Then tell me what to do..." Aurora whispered, looking at him. "... I don't know how to love or anything.... I haven't loved or cared baout anyone for ten years...."

[Strega]

"You think I have?" Sora snorted, taking her head in his hands, "I know nothing about this. I know beat the sh.it out of them till they do what you say."

"She passes as 4 I pass as late teens, early twenties." Skittles shrugged.

[Kitty_Chan]

"I see." Katari nodded.

"Then tell me what you want." Aurora closed her eyes. "Not what you've learned... But what's inside...."

[Strega]

"What I want? I want you, Aurora." Sora whispered.

Skittles nibbled the carrot.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari rolled her eyes, grabbing an apple and taing a small bite, smiling.

"..." Aurora averted her gaze.

[Strega]

((Night))

"You asked, I answered." Sora mumbled, walking back to his corner.

Skittles glanced at the ceiling.

[Kitty_Chan]

(( night! ))

"You're lying somewhere..." Aurora muttered. "You said you want me.... but you can't stand how I love you...."

"Hm?" Katari blinked, looking up.

[Kitty_Chan]

(( ..... ))

[Kitty_Chan]

(( lol, sorry. my computer flipped out :P ))

[Strega]

".... This is a beautiful place....." Skittles mumbled.

Sora sat down and pulled his knees to his chest.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari looked around the room she was in. "Eh... It gets old after a few hundred years..."

Aurora sighed, closing her eyes.

[Strega]

Bolt huffs. She gave up, but remained where she was.

Skittles shrugged.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari smiled. "My parents built it. I always loved it as a kid, though now it's kinda old...."

"... Sora, do you want to talk about anything?" Aurora asked quietly.

[Strega]

"... How old are you? If you don't mind me asking?" Skittles leaned forward in his chair.

"Like what?" Sora mumbled.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Oh, I don't remember...." Katari thought about it. "....I'm guessing around 600, maybe 700...."

"Anything...." She muttered.

[Strega]

"Geez, I feel old." Skittles chuckled.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Well, you are." Katari smirked, playfully.


(( whoops, forgot about Aurora. Anyhoo, I edited my other post ))

[Strega]

"You're not that young yourself." Skittles grinned.

Sora shook his head.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Younger than YOU." Katari huffed. "By, about 4000 years."

"Then you just want to leave everything where it's at now?"

[Strega]

"What do I say, Aurora? I'll be your pet untill the end, obeying your every command?" Sora looked at her, "I can't do that."

"Aw." Skittles pouted, "But I look cute...."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora recoiled a bit, eyes wide. "Is that what you think I think of you?" She whispered.

"Mostly as a rabbit, though." Katari nodded, knowingly.

[Strega]

Skittles turned into a rabbit and hopped into her lap with a 'pet me please.' look.

"It's how you treat me." Sora looked back at the ground.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora looked down. "I.... I'm so sorry...."

Katari scratched behind his ears. "Yep. Definetly cuter."

[Strega]

Skittles slumped in her lap, completely happy.

Sora shrugged, "Don't worry about it."

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari laughed, scratching under his chin.

"Yeah right...." Aurora muttered. "I already feel awful...."

[Strega]

Sora closed his eyes.

Skittles watched her, his eyes held a smiling glimmer.

[Kitty_Chan]

"So, why are you mostly a rabbit?" Katari asked. "Was it Miho's wanting?"

Aurora walked over to the cell bars, peering out the best she could. "Why won't let just let us out....?"

[Strega]

Skittles shook his head, 'No, it's what I'm most comfortable in....'

Sora shrugged.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Ah." Katari nodded. "More comfortable than your real form?"

Aurora sighed, sadly.

[Strega]

Sora closed his eyes.

'I don't have to be me like this.... I can just blend in with other rabbits...' Skittles nudged her hand.

[Kitty_Chan]

"What purpose does that serve?" She asked, petting his head again.

Aurora rested her forhead against the bars.

[Strega]

Sora leaned back.

'I hate being me.... I've gone crazy because I've seen so much. That explains my behaviour.' Skittles slumped again.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari sighed. "I'm sorry.... But the world's full of crazy things.... You need to try and get used to it, like I have."

"...." Aurora stared at the ground, wanting to say something, but not sure of what to say.

[Strega]

Sora opened his eyes.

'Hmm, but now that I'm a pet, I have nothing to look forward to.' Skittles sighed mentally.

[Kitty_Chan]

'You should run away.' Katari whispered in his mind.

Aurora walked over to a small window-like part of the cell. It was small, but large enough to see outside. She stared out it, looking at the ruined village.

[Strega]

Skittles stared at her with big rabbit eyes, 'To where? My home is destroyed.'

Sora groaned slightly, the pain in his neck increasing tenfold.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora blinked, looking at Sora. "What's wrong?"

'That, I don't know....' Katari shrugged.

[Strega]

'Don't you think I tried running? She finds me no matter where I go.' Skittles sunk slightly, the pulled himself up.

"My neck hurts soooo bad......" Sora rubbed the bite marks which were firey red.

[Kitty_Chan]

"The bite marks!" Aurora gasped, going over to him. "Maybe I can heal them, or at least put a spell over them...."

'How?' Katari thought, loud enough for him to hear clearly.

[Strega]

Skittles mentally shrugged, 'Like I-.... Something's wrong....'

"Don't touch it!" Sora winced, "It already hurts!"

[Kitty_Chan]

"I won't." Aurora said, softly. "I'm only looking...."

"What do you mean?" Katari blinked.

[Strega]

Skittles jumped onto the floor, landing as a human, "We need to check on them. Now."

Sora moved his hand.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari nodded, running towards the dungeon.

Aurora looked at it, carefully and seriously, eyes narrowing a bit.

[Strega]

Skittles followed closely.

Sora whimpered slightly as the color got brighter.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari carefully and quickly made her way down the stairs, waiting for Skittles.

Aurora slowly reached her hand towards it. "Don't worry.... I'm not going to touch it...."

[Strega]

Sora pulled away instinctively.

Skittles caught up, then started forward.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Right. They're at the end." Katari muttered.
Aurora blinked, hearing footsteps before seeing Katari as she unlocked the door.
"His neck!"

[Strega]

"Miho...." Skittles growled, walking towards Sora, who backed away.
"Don't touch me!!!" Sora yelled.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Sora!" Aurora snapped, shaking his shoulder. "Stop being an idiot and let us help you!"

[Strega]

"It burns him. He doesn't know what else to do..." Skittles mumbled, waving a hand and Sora's hands were stuck to his sides.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora blinked. "Still...."
Katari looked at Skittles. "So I guess it didn't work after all...."

[Strega]

"It worked, but it's trying to get out. I promised a good mental state, not physical." Skittles blew the hair out of his face. He gently touched the mark.
"OW!!!" Sora struggled.
"Sit still!" Skittles sat on top of him, "Geez, you act like I'm stabbing you."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora sighed as Katari sweatdropped.
"Yes, well...."
"Where IS Miho?" Aurora snapped. "I need to give her a piece of my mind..."
"Mind, or strength?" Katari blinked.

[Strega]

"I don't know where she is. I'm the pet, not her." Skittles said something else under his breath and the marks turned darker and Sora calmed down.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora nodded before walking off. "I'm gonna go find her..."
"Aurora..." Katari sighed.

[Strega]

((Skittles: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c262/AngelAurora627/9c3cdd2f.jpg ))

Skittles stood, "I can't let you hurt her."

[Kitty_Chan]

"Fine. Then I'll talk to her." Aurora muttered, not stopping. "I'm sick of her."

(( wow... that's totally diffeent than I thought... ))

[Strega]

'So you still care for the human?' Skittles raised an eyebrow.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora closed her eyes, still walking.
'I never stopped caring....'

[Strega]

'So is this for his "own good"?' Skittles picked up a now sleeping Sora.

[Kitty_Chan]

'I don't know what good for him anymore.....'

[Strega]

'Well, he's not taking it well.'

[Kitty_Chan]

'I tried. I don't know what he wants anymore.' Aurora climbed up the stairs, now walking down the hall.

[Strega]

'You might want to think of something soon.....'

[Kitty_Chan]

'I'm out of ideas. He needs to finish it.' Aurora looked around for any sign of Miho.

(( ugh.... I don't wanna get off.... -_- ))

[Strega]

'I don't think he plans on finishing that. Something else maybe.'

((lol, I don't want you to get off....))

[Kitty_Chan]

(( hmm... I'll give myself 15 minutes ^-^ ))

'I'm open for any ideas you have.' Aurora walked around outside.
"Miho!" She called out.

[Strega]

'.... I can't be of any help. I've never really had a... "lover".'

Miho ignored the calls.

[Kitty_Chan]

'Psh. No wonder you're getting nowhere with Katari.' Aurora smirked before looking aorund.

[Strega]

'Hey! Your relationship problem is the topic! Not my lack of one!'

[Kitty_Chan]

'Tch. I don't even HAVE one anymore....' Aurora walked around, not really paying attention anymore. 'In case you haven't notciced....'

[Strega]

'Well hurry and find a solution. He gives up on everything.' Skittles tossed Sora onto his bed then leaves Sora's room.

[Kitty_Chan]

'Exactly.' Aurora huffed before blinking. She was right in front of her old home.

[Strega]

'Not on finding a solution, other things.'

[Kitty_Chan]

'Could have fooled me.' Aurora stared at the ashes, sadly.

[Strega]

'.... Both of you need to get out of your teen years....'

[Kitty_Chan]

"I WAS. Until I met him....'

[Strega]

'Wonderful effect he has on people, huh?'

[Kitty_Chan]

'Yeah.... Just look at me now.... Though, while I may be back in teen years, he's still in child years.'

[Strega]

'He was never allowed to be a kid.'

[Kitty_Chan]

'I know...' She stared down, sadly. 'He couldn't be a child and neither could I. I had to be independent my whole life....'

(( i gotta go. night! ))

[Strega]

'Then see it through his eyes.' Skittles's eyes closed in pain as Miho's teeth dug into his neck.

[Strega]

((Night! ^.^))

[Kitty_Chan]

'What do you mean?' Aurora blinked.

[Strega]

'Nevermind... Just ignore me....' Skittles closed his eyes in pain.
"Bad Skittles..." Miho mumbled as she pulled away.

[Kitty_Chan]

'.... I'm coming back...' Aurora headed towards the castle again, blinking as she saw Katari.
"How is he?"
"Unconscious." Katari shrugged.

[Strega]

"Sorry Miho...." Skittles turned to face the girl.
"You should be. It's not your job to be blabbing about me and healing humans." Miho crossed her arms.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora looked around. "It's so hard to believe..."
"Yes..." Katari sighed as they came back into the castle. "Though, those living are safe.... They have no courage or hope left..."

[Strega]

Skittles stared at the ground, "I won't do it again..."
"And don't think about Katari ever hooking up with you. It'll never happen." Miho walked away from the now sad Skittles.

[Kitty_Chan]

(( ouch.... ))

The two made heir way down the stairs to the dungeon. Aurora blinked.
"I sense Miho..."
Katari nodded. "Same here...."

[Strega]

Skittles started to walk, hands in his pockets.

Miho heard their voices and smelled the elves' blood. She rolled her eyes, "Speak of the devil."

((lol, she's so cruel^.^))

[Kitty_Chan]

"The only devil around here is you." Aurora snapped, walking towards her.
"Calm down..." Katari muttered to Aurora.

(( I could tell.... lol ))

[Strega]

"You're one to speak!" Miho snapped back.
Skittles heard Miho's comment and spun on his heel and walked toward the girls, "Miho, calm down, please."

[Kitty_Chan]

"Yes, you're right." Aurora rolled her eyes, snapping sarcastically. "I'm not the one biting people and forcing them to do my bidding, am I?"

[Strega]

"I'm not forcing him, it's the feelings he's never shown resurfacing! And you don't tell me what to do!" Miho slapped Skittles, who didn't do anything but wince.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora growled. "Yeah right. You're just a possesive spoiled little BRAT. Why should I believe ANYTHING you say?"

[Strega]

"Because this stupid war is depending on it!" Miho walked away, pulling a startled Skittles with her.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Depending on what? You feeling the need to recieve everything you want?" Aurora turned towards her, scoffing. "Like you're helping the war."

[Strega]

"No, because I control the vampires and your pathetic little army couldn't fight them off even if it was bigger." Miho growled under her breath.
'This is pointless....' Skittles rubbed his cheek gingerly.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora growled. "Funny, you call our army pathetic, but it's YOUR race that needs our help."

[Strega]

Sora woke up and stretched.

"Hmmm, but who is alive because we showed up? Your princess. You would've had nothing if we hadn't." Miho slammed the door to her room. Skittles turned into a rabbit and curled up under her bed.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora huffed before angrily walking up the stairs and down the hallway. "I need some air...."
Katari sighed, going into the main hallway again.

[Strega]

Sora walked to the door that led to the balcony and walked into the light. His skin was slightly paler then it should have been and he recoiled at the sudden light.

[Kitty_Chan]

"I wonder if Sora has awaken..." Katari though aloud as she softly knocked on the door. "Sora?"

"Ugh..." Aurora sighed, walking outside. "I just can't win today...."

[Strega]

"I'm awake." Sora said, coming back into the room. He wasn't smiling.

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari eyed him. "Are you feeling alright....?"

Aurora sat down by a small pond, humming quietly.

[Strega]

"No. I don't. I feel horrid, I've chased Aurora off and I keep screwing up." Sora sat on his bed.

[Kitty_Chan]

"It's not your fault...." Katari sighed, sadly before looking at his skin. "... You look too pale....."

[Strega]

"Two bites'll do that to ya." Sora shrugged, "How is it not my fault?"

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari sighed, a bit angrily. "Because you're not the one that bit you, right?" 'Everything seems to be HER fault...'

[Strega]

"Yeah, but I didn't exactly stop her." Sora shook his head.

[Kitty_Chan]

"What would you have done?" Katari asked. "How would you have stopped her?"

[Strega]

"By having a stronger will, but that's lost forever."

[Kitty_Chan]

"Why's that?" She blinked.

[Strega]

"I have nothing left. I don't have the will, Katari. I've always barely had a grip on it."

[Kitty_Chan]

"You know, Aurora doesn't hate you at all, Sora."

[Strega]

"She doesn't act like it."

[Kitty_Chan]

Katari smiled, sitting beside him. "Too bad you were unconscious, then."

[Strega]

Sora looked at her, "What'd I miss?"

[Kitty_Chan]

"after you fell unconscious, Aurora went looking for Miho, with the intent of hurting her." Katari laughed, softly. "Then she and Skitttles had a telepathic conversation. One that I managed to listen in on."

[Strega]

"I've never been good at eaves dropping..." Sora laid back.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Well, it's not easy. Especially when it's telepathic." Katari sighed. "Luckily, though, I managed to listen to Aurora's mind."

[Strega]

"And what'd she say?" Sora sounded like a three year old asking about an unopened present.

[Kitty_Chan]

"After she walked off, Skittles asked her if she still cared about you. Or 'the human', as he put it. Aurora told him that she had never stopped caring." Katari smiled at him.

[Strega]

"Really?!" Sora bolted upright.

((lol, Sora reminds me of the Sora in Kingdom Hearts right now...))

[Kitty_Chan]

"Yep." Katari smiled. "Promise you."

(( lol, I know. ))

[Strega]

Sora grinned at her.

[Kitty_Chan]

"You see, I think I know what's been going on."

[Strega]

"Thank you!" Sora hugged her.

[Kitty_Chan]

"It's no problem!" Katari laughed.

[Strega]

"Where is she?"

[Kitty_Chan]

"Outside. Somewhere near her old home, I'm assuming."

[Strega]

"... Which is?"

[Kitty_Chan]

"Uuuh...." Katari looked around before pointing North. "That way."

[Strega]

"Thank you." he bounced out happily in the direction she pointed.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Sure." Katari smiled before leaving the room.

Aurora walked around the ashes of her home a few more times, eyeing it and seeing if anything survived.

[Strega]

Sora was soon there, he wasn't as hyper, but still slightly hyper.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora blinked, turning to him. "Hey. How're you feeling?"

[Strega]

"Better." he nodded.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Soo....? Why did you come bouncing over here like a rabbit would if it's tail was on fire?"

[Strega]

" 'Cuz I can!" he smiled.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora stared at him like he was crazy before smiling a bit. "Back to normal, I see."

[Strega]

He hugged her lightly, in a friendly 'is this okay?' way.

[Kitty_Chan]

She hugged him back, tightly.
"I missed you..."

[Strega]

He smiled, "I missed me too...."

[Kitty_Chan]

"Are you REALLY back to normal?"

[Kitty_Chan]

(( I gotta get going. Night! ))

[Strega]

He shrugged, "I guess we have to wait and see." ^.^

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora blinked a few times before shaking her head, smiling.

(( Hey! I'm only on for a bit! My bro's being a butt... ))

[Strega]

((Kitty! *glomps*))

Sora hugged her, "Ha!"

[Kitty_Chan]

(( *Waves before glomping back* wuaaah! I hate getting on so little! ))

She rolled her eyes, still smiling.

[Strega]

Sora gave her a goofy grin, "Wanna go somewhere? Anywhere?"

[Kitty_Chan]

"Like WHERE???" She turned to the open area, arms out. "Not a whole lot left...."

[Strega]

He tugged her by the hand, "Follow me!!"
