Howie snorted and punched the tree in annoyance. There was an odd clacking sound when they met, as if his fist was armored in something, but it looked positively normal. Ugh! "Okay, okay, think this through. So you... fell asleep. Yeah, that makes sense. Damn, I can't stay awake lately - Guh! Now I'm talking to myself! I'm as crazy as that Jessica chick, damnit!"

Nezumi looked suprised. "Well this place is certainly getting crowded! Harukichiii! Why don't we join the party! That girly over there looks like a gooooood figgghtteeee~~r!"
Haruko smiled grimly. Unsheathing his spear, he walked up to Serlina. "Care for a fight?"

Serlina smiled to herself. Then, she flipped out of the tree and landed gracefully in front of the boy, ignoring the man who had approached her. "Hello, love," she said softly. Her blue eyes were smiling, as if sharing a private joke with smeone, and her brown, waist length hair was flowing loosely. she was dressed in dark gree, which easily blended into the shadows. The shirt and pants complemented her form nicely. All in all, she was quite pretty. The only hint of her elven blood were the slightly pointed ears and the unnatural grace.

((Rock: FINALLY!!! Someone who isn't either a demon, a mage, OR a cursed human!! Welcome to the club, buddy! Me: Rock, if you will, would you please look again at the huge antennae. He is, quite obviously, the opposite of normal, and is therefore impossible for you to make friends with. Now go back and stare in awe at your little girlfriend. Rock: SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!!! Chantre: At least, not yet... *seductive wink* Rock: NOOOOOOOO!!!!))
"Sh-Chantre?!" Rock sat dumbfounded, mouth open, eyes wide in amazement, wonder... and fear. "Hiya, Dirt!" Chantre grinned widely at him, her entire body extinquished except for her hair, which still burned merrily. "So, what was that you were saying? Something about, 'Durrrr, Chantre, go aways, I can take care of dis myself!'" "Chantre, I was just trying to protect-" "Well, now you know! I can take care of myself, okay?! Is that too hard a concept for you, mortal?" Chantre burned brighter, glaring at the cowering boy.

Howie spun at the voice, then calmed down. Then panicked again. "Ack!" He yelped, his hands going up to try futily to cover the wildly waving antennae. "Love to talk, sweet thing, but I got, ah, other engagements! Yeah, perfectly human here, though. Nothing out of the ordinary, nope!" He was babbling. Badly.

Serlina smiled. "I'm not exactly human myself, boy," she said, moving her hair to reveal her pointed ears. "Oh, and," here she moved quickly, pinning the boy against the tree, her knifepoint poking into his gut. "Call me sweet thing again, and your guts will be spilling out of your body before you finish the sentence. Got it?" she said, no longer smiling.

"No sweat, babes!" Howie broke out in an enormous, if slightly strained, grin. "Just your ears, huh? I guess I'm still on the island after all. Or just dreaming all this crazy s*** What do you think it is?" He didn't seem bothered by the knife. Obviously, he was either crazy or stupid.

serlina smiled sweetly. "I'm half-elf, boy. I have no idea what you are, but I suspect you will die by a slit throat as easily as any other creature, hmm?" she asked sweetly, moving her knife from his stomach to his throat. Arrogant humans. How they irked her.

In the middle of ranting, Chantre picked up a conversation elsewhere in the forest; their former antagonist, and someone new. She scowled fiercely at Rock, and held out a hand to help him up. Rock, completely at sea as to what exactly was happening, took her hand in a dreamy like state. "Come on, 'Love' has a new victim, and if she does what I think she'll do, this part of the forest will stink of human flesh for weeks." And saying so, the girl lead the stunned boy through the trees, finally reaching the clearing where the woman was holding the young man against the tree. "Should we help him?" whispered Rock. "Sure, doesn't look like he's having a lot of luck lately... STOP!!"
ooc: Don't mind Chantre for thinking the wrong thing, but she didn't really get a very pleasant first impression of Serlie.

"Half-elf? What the hell? You're even crazier than I am," He was still smiling and speaking in completely cheerful tones. "I'm human, believe it or not." His antennae dropped forward, waving around Serlina to get an idea of how she 'smelled.' Damn moth instincts. "You know, you're real easy to p*** off. Maybe you should get some therapy, hm?"
He blinked and tried to look over at where the shout was coming from, but he wasn't able to move his head without slitting his own throat. Hey, he wasn't suicidal

Serlina looked back. "Oh, how cute. The children are back," she said softly. She flipped away from the teenager and landed away from all the people. She looked towards the strange teenager with a sneer. "You do not believe me?" she asked, deceptively calm. she walked towards him, moving fluidly.

Rock threw himself away from Chantre, just in time to avoid being toasted as she burst into flames. "Hey elf-lady, I'm not finished with you yet!!" yelled Chantre. Rock groaned, covering his eyes with one embarrassed hand. Again with the dramatics.

Serlina sighed. really, all she wanted to do was gut this foolish teengaer who wouldn't believe her. What was so wrong with that?

"Umm, Chantre?" "Yes, Rock?" "If you're going to threaten someone, shouldn't you at least try to beat them up? You look a little goofy just standing there." "Right." Chantre smiled a little wide-eyed half-grin that frightened Rock rather than encourage him, and started running at the woman, already forming a large fireball in her hands. "Whoop!" The girl landed face first into the rich, thick grass, the flames quickly licking up the dry twigs and leaves. "CHANTRE!! YOU BIG, BUMBLING IDIOT!! CRAP!" Rock jumped up, ran over to where his friend lay with a scraped knee, and tore off his cape. He spread it over the flickering new fire, and stomped on it until all he could see was smoke. "Jeez louise, Chan!" He picked up his cape, flapping it to rid it of ash and dirt, when it burst into flames. "ACK!!" He threw it into the air on reflex, and hit his head soundly as the flaming cape fell onto the grass, the fire eagerly greeting the grass.

"Oh, that's not good..." Serlina muttered. Blasted grass fires. "Boy, get out of there," she shouted, running towards them. Reaching into her shirt, she pulled out a small bottle of glittering dust, which was attached to a chain around her neck. "I hope this works," she muttered, pouring a small amount of dust into her palm. She flung the dust over the flames with a whispered word. The dust glowed brightly, settling over the flames. after a few moments, the fire went out, and serlina dropped the bottle back in her shirt. "Thank god..." she whispered. "Hey, are you two all right?" she asked, going over to Chantre and Rock.

Rock and Chantre simply glared at her; Chantre had a tic pulsing on her temple. "Alright, this is weird. One minute, you try to slice everyone who catches your fancy, and now you prevent this forest and everyone else in it from going up in flames. What the #3!! is up with you?" asked Rock.

"As I said, you may recall, I don't kill children. That was just for fun. but that kid," she said softly, pointing at the teenager, " really gets on my nerves. Like the idiots who think that just because I'm a half breed i shouldn't be able to defend myself."

"You know, I've never really got what was up with people being against half breeds. It's not like all breeds have enough of their own species to remain pureblood," pondered Chantre outloud. "You know, I really don't know anything about what you guys are talking about, so if you'll excuse me, I'll just, uh, leave, if you don't mind..." said Rock, sidling out of sight of the clearing. He had seen the edge of the forest through the trees, and maybe he could finally figure out exactly where he had landed this time.

"Yeah, we're both alright. I mean, I've got a scraped knee, but I get that all the time," said Chantre. She glanced at Rock disappearing into the forest, and suddenly grew distressed. "It'll be fine, for now, I have to go get my friend before he gets lost..." she continued, and quickly got up, running after Rock and calling his name.

Serlina watched the girl leave. "Huh...well, those to were interesting to say the least..." she said outloud, thinking. Then, with another sneer in the teenagers direction, she followed, keeping pace easily by leaping from tree to tree.

"Rock?" The boy stumbled around roots, pushing branches out of the way. Finally, a way out of this place! "Rock, come back!" Only a few more feet till full, unobstructed daylight... He jumped a fallen tree, straining his eyes to still be able to see the light he had seen. "Rock, please!" And then he was there. Not outside; far from it. The clearing was completely enclosed by trees, it was a wonder he had been able to make it through. But the light was still there, dancing, yellow lights that wandered teasingly around him. " ROCK!!" Chantre screamed. She had followed him just a few feet away all this way, but he never heard her, and now he had disappeared. She was lost, dark forest all around, and no light except for a few twinkling yellow sparks... "No..." ooc: Don't really know where I'm going with this, but it sounds fun. I love improv...

"You!..." started Chantre, swirling around, but stopped, remembering how she had stopped the fire. "Nevermind. He's gone, now; the faeries never relenquish what they take, only give what they can't be bothered to feed." She sank down to her knees, trying to fully realize what had just happened. She deeply considered chasing the mocking yellow lights, but knew that she would only get even more lost, and possibly die of hunger. She sighed, depressed; her eyes dull and her shoulders drooped. "I... I'm going." she stated simply, and started following the trail of broken branches back to where they had first met Thorn. ooc: I'd chase after Rock, but I have to go to bed now. WHO EVER HEARD OF GOING TO BED AT 10:00 ON A FRIDAY NIGHT? Stupid dentist appointment. Seeya tomorrow.

Howie poked at the ashes, looking downright gloomy. "Damn. Pretty fire," he muttered, then sat back, shook himself, and looked around. "What was that all about, anyway? Half-breeds? Fireballs? Maybe I've been smoking. Yeah, that has to be it. The good doctors slipped something into the joints and now I'm having tripped-out dreams." He spoke of the doctors with a sneer. Then paused.
"At least, that would make sense if I smoked."

Thorn walked into the area. He looked around, and saw Ashton. "Ashton?" he said, walking forward a little. Ashton's head turned in the direction of the sound and he stared at his father. "Daddy?" he asked, then he smiled. "Daddy! Daddydaddydaddydaddy!" he said, running over to his father. Thorn smiled and scooped his son up, hugging him tightly. AShton yelped when his wing was touched, and Thorn sat him down hastily. "Are you ok?" he asked, looking his son over. "My wing hurts," AShton informed his father. Thorn examined Ashton's wing carefully. "Broken..." he muttered, frowning.

The young girl trudged through the woods, her head hanging low. Wet, sparkling tears tripped down her cheek, falling like glistening diamonds off her nose and chin. "Rock..." she whispered. A dancing yellow light flitted in front of her, curious as to what this being was doing in the forest. It flitted closer and closer, almost touching her nose-SNAP. Chantre's hand closed around the captive faerie, mercilessly tightening her fingers around it. It desperately tinkled, and soon they were surrounded by furiously twittering lights. "Quiet, before I crush your friend!" she called. The lights immediately settled down, buzzing like several hundreds of angry bees. "Now, take me to the boy! I will not let go of this faerie until the boy and I are out of your territory!" The lights fell in together, a bright yellow star in the middle of a forest, and discussed what to do. Finally, they broke, and they lit a path through the trees. A grim smile passed Chantre's face, and she walked forward into the path, the small faerie still pathetically whimpering in her hand.

Serlina followed close behind. When the girl started walking, she dropped to the ground beside her. "Can I come with?" she asked Chantre. This looked like fun...

Chantre nodded silently. It had been a long time since she had been among faeries, and she might need some help. "New plan, villains!" she said to the angerly buzzing lights. "This woman is going to help me, and when we have the boy, she is going to leave with me. Got that?" She squeezed the poor fae still in her hand, and the lights all nodded. "Come, you will be able to leave without trouble, now." Chantre said to Serlina, and continued down the path.
