It seemed like he'd been walking for days. Maybe he would die trying to find people or at least somewhere he could eat and sleep. But it had been dying back there in that desolate hell among the embers, or dying in search for help. If he had to beg for food and water, he would. Normally, he was a strong and independent person that would never beg or ask for help if he could avoid it, but when you were pushed, none of that mattered. His instincts told him to survive. That was the only thing driving him forward. 

 

His legs ached, his clothes torn and his hands burnt. All in all, he looked like something hell had chewed up and spat back out. Just as his legs gave up and he fell to his knees, Aerion looked up through strands of messy black hair and saw something ahead of him that gave him a spark of hope and energy. It wasn't much, but it was all he had. "This... This better not be an illusion." He muttered to himself and got up, stumbling towards a house that sat on a hill, overlooking the sea. 

 

If they wouldn't help him, he had nowhere else to go.

{@ Script: I made sure not to specify how many children Jackal had taken with him, just in case you or IamAshley decided to go with him. Sorry if you got confused, but since I talk to The Wall and The Creationist on Facebook as well, I already knew their characters names and included them in the post.}

 

Jackal's eyes flickered open at the sound of Lilly's voice, and he groaned, not moving an inch. "Just eat without me, I'm tired," he grumbled, although his stomach chose that moment to make a noisy protest.

Sighing in a dramatic sort of way, he got to his feet and shuffled sleepily into the kitchen area, yawning widely with his hand over his mouth. He caught sight of the look Ally was giving Lilly, and a small smile lit up his eyes. "You don't have to wait," he insisted. "You'll be starving in a few weeks if you do...I have a lot of work coming my way.

He sat down between them and picked up his fork, ready to impale a slice of meat, when a sound rang through the small house. An alarm. Someone had wondered inside the protective wards around the place.

"Stay here," he commanded, although he knew that was useless. Knowing them, they would follow even if a dragon was waiting out there. He got to his feet and hurried to the front door. The alarm was not lying; there really was someone stumbling towards the house, in bad shape.

 

Inari wiped dirt from his face with the back of his hand, and gave a small nod. He was out of breath, and exhausted, but his eyes were filled with determination to get this training done. As he moved into a ready position, his eyes fixed on the knives, he winced slightly, feeling a small scratch behind his knee, where one of the knives had narrowly missed, tearing through the fabric of his trousers.

"I'm ready," he announced cheerfully, ignoring the pain easily. The only way to avoid pain was to learn how to fight, and to dodge; there was no point letting it distract him now.

Ally looked at Jackal.
"We're sort of family. We eat together!" She said authoritively and then she heard the alarm. They'd been told to stay where they were so she stood their ready to strike if they got this far. Which she hoped they wouldn't.

Akani gave a satisfied look and threw the knife at Inari, and before the other one got close they threw the other.
"Lesson #4 : always be ready for the unexpected" they said as a matter of factly.

((Excuse me, but you didn't have to act so unnecessarily rudely. I had no idea who Ally and Lilly were as they weren't clearly identified before, I only remember two random kids, some babies, and I assumed that the two girls you and TheCreationist were at the beginning were completely different characters. Excuse me please if I didn't read your posts thoroughly enough, but I am certain that the characters names and ages at the time weren't clear. Nor was the count of how many characters had been created. I'll just go ahead and leave now, thank you for your chauvinistic and incredibly over-done warning that I happened to be using your character.

My bad. Please accept my most sincerest apologies.  :im Not Worthy: ))

 

((Also, towards the creator of the roleplay, sorry about the confusion and my "rant" up there.))

Yuri froze when the alarm went off. " What the hell do we do, Jackal?" she whispered. As Jackal got up and began walking down the hallway, she followed.

"He told us to stay" Ally whispered. Yuri replied with a cheeky smirk, and ducked down to slowly walk down the pathway leading to the strange person at the front door. The person was clutching their chest, stumbling into the wall and door, "help." you could hear them mumble. She grabbed Jackal's hand as shock spread through her body. "What's wrong with them?" She shuddered.

Lilly smirked when Jackal told them to stay, he knew better then that, of course they would fallow him. When the door was opened the was a slight gust of wind that blew up a cloud of dust. Lilly coughed and stepped out to see the young man trembling in their doorstep. "Don't just stand there Jackal! Help him!" She said pushing past the others to the mans side. "Are you ok?..." She asked softly, noticing the burns and lacerations all over him.

Whatever was being said on the other side of the door, he couldn't make out. He could barely stay awake and upright at all. The only thing that went through his mind was to search for food and water. Someone that was willing to help him. His wounds ached badly, but the pain was not as bad as earlier. Now, Aerion was so tired that he didn't really notice it anymore. "Help..." He let out in a raspy voice as he placed a hand on the door and fell to his knees.

 

Voices rang through the air as someone opened it and thus moved the thing he was leaning against. Someone asked him a question that he barely understood. Aerion fell to the ground and let out a shaky breath, burnt hands trying to find something to grab onto. "Water." He mumbled, mouth dry as a desert. "Please... Water."

Lilly nodded, "Water..." She quickly got up and ran inside, and was back within seconds with a big cold glass of water. She held the rim of the glass to the mans lips, "Jackal what do we do with him?... We cant turn him out. look at him." She looked up at Jackal and the others, they had to help him. She looked back at the man, and watched as he drank the last of the water. "What happened to you?..." She asked looking at his hands and noticing how burnt they were.

Ally was the only one who'd done as they were told and stood in the kitchen, in her attack stance, so if anyone did get in, she'd be able to strike and also had the upper hand of surprise. Usually, surprise worked better than even brute strength. She stood there and when Lilly came in and got a glass of water she frowned in bewilderment. Ally called after her, and then reluctantly, she stood at the top of the hallway. 

"What's going on?" she asked a bit louder than she had originally anticipated. She looked over at the others... something seemed off, it wasn't like there was a threat but something else. Ally just didn't know what and no-one was telling her just yet. 

 

((Sorry in advance, posting is going to be slow, I've got no phone, and I'm away this weekend, so most likely my last post until sunday night/monday morning.))

Jackal stood watching as Lilly rushed around after the stranger, keeping himself between Yuri and the door. He didn't want another of the three girls to go out there. It could have been a trap, or anything...They could have attacked a guy and sent him to the door, to draw them out. But Lilly was too good to just leave him there to die. The problem was, all three girls were.

And now he'd have to bring the stranger inside, or they would never let him hear the end of it. "Yuri, Ally," he began, raising his voice as he called to Ally. "Get some blankets ready. "Lilly, since you're so fond of helping, you can help me carry him inside."

He grabbed the man by the torso and carefully lifted, waiting for Lilly to grab his legs. "But I swear down, I am not keeping another stray!"

 

Inari began to dodge, then gasped as the second knife hurtled towards him. He narrowly avoided being impaled through the chest by throwing himself to the ground, earning another graze in the process.

He got to his hands and knees, panting slightly. "I'm sorry," he muttered, unable to look Akani in the eye. "Can we try again?"

Soon they would not even be able to see the knives flying through the air, as night time crawled faster upon them, and, of course, he would expect the second knife now. I'm such a failure, he thought, cursing himself.

The taste of water was the best thing in the world right then. Aerion couldn't remember when he'd last had anything to drink. But he couldn't really remember that much right now. His mind focused on the glass that was held to his lips, and he drank eagerly. Voices rang through the air, but the only words that clung to his brain were water and help. So they wanted to help him. That was all he had hoped for. 

 

The next thing he knew, he was being lifted and carried into the house. "The fire..." He mumbled and held his hands up, shaking. Then Aerion passed out from exhaustion. When he awoke, he hoped that he would feel better and that he would get a chance to apologize to these people and thank them for helping. If he'd wake up at all.

Yuri helped the man in, carrying one of his legs as the others help with the rest of his body. They walked into the loungeroom and set out his body on a small couch. So small that the stranger's legs hanged over the couch's arms. When the man passed out, Yuri held his hands. "Wake up. Wake up... Can you hear me? Wake up!" She tried, shaking him. Soon, she realised that this would not help the man by shaking him, and only by rest could he get better and so put a damp cloth over his forehead.

 

"The fire...." she mumbled to herself " Do you think they've started coming towards us?" She asked to anyone who had an answer. She suddenly felt like a thousand rocks were sitting in the pit of her stomach. A strong sense of fear urged throughout her body. Surely they wouldn't find their way here again.

How long had she been staring out through the foliage, eyesight obstructed slightly by the dancing leaves every time a breeze trickled through the forest? She barely noticed the gentle caresses of the leaves against her feathers.

Should she leave? It had been awhile since she left the protection of the forest. Her senses began to wake, slowly. She could smell the mixed scents of the vegetation and animals all around her. Lacing that was the stinging scent of burning. Alarm rippled through her.

What was on fire? Curiosity bubbled in her chest. Why not check it out? No, not the fire..she wouldn't put herself in that kind of danger alone. Not like there was anyone else like her that could go with her. She snapped her beak, and her claws flexed around the slim twig she was supported on. Then she leaped.

Her wings snapped out, catching in the air and she smoothly began to glide towards the remnants of the old hill side town. The ocean sparkled just in the distance, almost blinding her.

As she neared the ground, she decided it was time for change. She had been a bird for a while now. Why not change bit up? She had been oblivious for too long. It was time to stop hiding.

She tucked her long wings in, diving. And then her skin beneath the feathers began to bubble. Her bones cracked and stretched. Claws grew, wings lengthened. And when she touched the ground, it was on the four graceful limbs of a leopard.

[sorry, I got interrupted]

She felt her muscles roll smoothly under her skin. The power and grace of her body had been unfamiliar to her at first; she had stumbled towards the house on the hill, but as she moved ever closer, she began to glide. Her large paws carried her across the land with ease; not as easy as flying, but she wanted to be grounded for a while. Her muzzle parted in the imitation of a smile.

That's when she noticed the commotion outside the small house. She fell in a crouch, gaze locked and alert as figures hesitantly approached what appeared to be a fallen person. Humans. How long has it been since she took her human form?

When they grabbed the person, she thought perhaps they were going to hurt the person. But they didn't, they picked the person up gently and hauled him inside. And then she saw no more. The door was shut, shoving her out of the glimpse of the first human interaction she had witnessed in a while, and sparking her curiosity. The spark caught, flaring through her like a fuse to a fire cracker. And when it exploded, she couldn't help but go even closer to the small house.

Ally looked around and grabbed the fire blankets they used when they went camping a few years ago. She picked them all up and brought them to the stranger, staying wary of what was going on, they couldn't have left him...but it could have been a trap or anything. She looked over at Jackal, and then went to him whilst the others were fussing around the stranger. 

"Jackal..." she whispered "what if it's a trap to get our defenses down?" she asked curiously,  standing ready for attack, somewhat like a cat that's ready to strike it's dinner. Compared to the rest of the girls, there, she was somewhat primal and primitive. 

 

 

Akani looked at Inari "What was one of the first things I ever taught you? Don't ever apologize to someone who throws knives at you. That includes me" they raised a short eyebrow. "It's dark, are you sure, you want to go again?" They asked Inari, wondering what they had in mind, and even though he would expect the second knife, there was no guarantee, he'd actually throw it. Dusk was turning into dark very quickly...and this was dangerous enough in daylight.

"But, if you're sure, there's something new I might try, if you're up for it..." not waiting for Inari to answer, Akani pulled up their hooded cloak, so they were pretty much invisible. "You can not see me, you will have to strengthen your other senses" Akani called out from some distance. Then before there was another reply, a knife flew from a slight height straight for Inari's shoulder.

As they brought the man inside Lilly noticed his hands and how burnt they were, she got up and went to find bandages. When she finally found them and made her way back through the mountains of books but by the time she was back by the mans side he had fallen fast asleep. Sighing she cleaned and bandaged his hands and arms then, still kneeling next to him, she looked up at Jackal. "What now?..." She asked softly.
