Guardian Angels: the children of the night.

Melanie huddled against the box, having just woken up from a nap watching Shai and Lucian and thought to herself. She mentioned something about an expedition...what use would I be on one of those? Not much at all, I'd only slow the group down. They wouldn't want a useless nobody tagging along with them that cant be any help. Maybe I should get back 'home' She snorted at that. That place has never been my home... With that she drifted back to sleep.

[Niala Ornitier]

Shai looked happily at Lucian, the happiest she'd felt in a long...long time. Her head leaned down to his chest and her ears flicked as she heard his heartbeat. Shai placed a paw on Lucian's chest, on his heart and she closed her eyes tightly, exploring his emotional past.

The arctic fox twisted and turned as she slept...

Melanie ran down the dark alley away from the figure that followed her.
"Melanie I am your father and I order you to get back here."
"No!" Melanie cried. "Leave me be!"
Then a large figure swooped down from the sky, blocking the foxes way.
"Come now Melanie my dear." Said the eagle. "Its getting cold out, lets go home..."
"You are not my mother so you cant tell me what to do!" Melanie snarled.
The eagle's eyes flashed in anger and she grabbed the fox in her talons...
The dream changed.
Melanie jumped around wildly, trying to avoid being crushed by the stampeding caribou's hooves. Tears streamed down her face as she saw flashes of her arctic fox parents being slowly trampled to death through the caribou's legs. "Mother! Father!" A hoove clipped Melanie on the head and another crushed her left back paw and there was a sudden cry. Melanie looked up to see a pair of orange eyes and a pair of talons reach down and grab her...

Melanie jumped awake, hitting her head on the box. "Ow!" She rubbed her head with her paw and then rested her head under her tail, her paw placed over the necklace which her mother had given to her before she had died. Melanie drifted off again into hopefully a more uneventful sleep.

Shai lifted her paw and her head and stared into Lucian's eyes with her icey, piercing , "innocent" eyes and she smiled. She rubbed her body along his again. "your heart is more pure than you think, mein freund." She said, smiling as she prouled around away from Lucian and headed back to the group. She slowly rimmed her body around the edges of the shadows in the sunlight. She went back to the group and sat beside Melanie, taking the neckalace from her paws and examined the broken stone. "this is an easy fix..." Shai slipped the neckalace into a pouch of deer skin she kept. She hoped Melanie would not notice its disappearance for a while. she smiled and her tail gently stroked Melanie's cheek, whispering "sleep tight."

*Shard staying to the shadows as he vetured away from the group, as he went down a dark ally a bum got up and held knife to his throat*
" evenin , gov ouws about you emty yer pockets"
*Shard laughing in his head*, time to clean up the streets, no?  * his voice giving off a cool tone* Non , but that is a very nice blade *Shard now absorbing his negitve aura *
"oh yea?" 
*having finished the negitive he starts in on the rest* Oui, but you look so tiered, you should probably just take a rest, you've had a hard day
"yea I 'ave 'avent I?"
* the bum slowly loses counsisness, till he hasent enough energy to make his heart beat once more, Shard leans over and picks up the knife* rather shotty build * he tosses it away and walks back twords where the group is*

[Niala Ornitier]

Shai looked at the Bum. "Hmm..." then she looked at Lucian, and back down at some viles. She grinned and picked them up, and filled them for Lucian for later, and anyone else who needed it. She felt not hungry herself so she left the body happily and returned to the group, the viles in her Deer skin pouch.

[Kindran Ornitier]

Inally able to get away from the group, lucian took out a small photograph. It was his old family. Before his exile and turning. A single tear fell from his eyes, now reverting to their original blue-green-hazel. Hearing someone approach he put the photo up and reverted to his cold self.

[Niala Ornitier]

Shai smiled and sat beside Lucian. "Hi... i got you something..." She pulled out her deer skin pouch and snuffled through it. She moved closer to Lucian with her paws clenched and she reached out for his hand.

[Kindran Ornitier]

Hoping the siren didn't notice his paws shake he held one out. "thank you mein Frau"

[Niala Ornitier]

Shai smiled and took his hand gently in hers and she helped him up. "I got this for you..." she held out her outstretched paw and handed him 3 large viles of crimson coloured blood. Once she handed him the viles her hand moved to his forehead and she stroked it gently. "I know it hurts..." and she turned and left to hand Melanie some of the drink.

[Kindran Ornitier]

Lucian sent shai a thought. What hurts? I know not what you mean fräulein

[Niala Ornitier]

Shai thought back. Your past... all our past does is hurt, in a good or bad way... I knew you weren't all cold, from the moment my eyes set onto yours. She flicked her tail and sat by Melanie. She placed her paw on Melanie's and when she lifted it, the neckalace that broke was made new again. Shai looked quietly and warmly back at Lucian and smiled.

[Kindran Ornitier]

This is true. But I must give a cold appearance. I cannot stop searching for them. I don't know if they are even alive or abything. I cannot allow myself to become too involved with others.

[Niala Ornitier]

I have no family, i'm a lonely soul. Never had one. I wish you luck Lucian. A build of tears began in Shai's eyes and she turned her head away from Lucian and the first tear dripped onto Melanie's fur. And in a whisper she said "You're the only one i have little guy..." Her tail softly ran through Melanie's fur and Shai looked back up at Lucian.

[Kindran Ornitier]

Feelsing compassion Lucian took shai's head in his paw and stared into her eyes. His began to change to the blue green. "Would you like to accompany me on my journey? We might get back to the fatherland. Plus you remind me of someone I know."
