scarlet hissed at fade, blushing faintly.
''stupid bird... be lucky i don't drink you're blood..'' she
growled.
she got up and sighed.
''i'm going to go hunt...'' scarlet complained, turning into a bat
and flying towards the wood's.
"Scarlet--" Rain said, his hand reaching out halfway in attempt to
halt her. He quickly drew back, his mouth halfway open. Scarlet was
already gone. Rain glared at Fade. Please. That girl can think
better with a hole in her head, Fade replied icily. Rain bolted
towards the woods, slamming a bottle onto the floor and running
through the blue mist it conjured.
He transformed into a fox-human hybrid with fluffy ears and a tail
the same color as his hair. Now about ten times faster, Rain leaped
through the woods with ease. He climbed up a tree, leaping from
branch to branch until he was on the top. "Hey," he said softly,
smiling lightly at Scarlet.
scarlet looked over at him, holding a small black kitten in her
arm's while she was sitting at the top of the tree.
''hey... look at what i found abandoned in the wood's below the
tree, the poor thing was all alone.... isn't she just a little
darling?'' she asked, smiling as she held the little black kitten
up for rain to see.
the kitten had a sleek pure black coat with black paw pad's, but
it's eye's were a bright amber color.
it mewed at him and tried to bat at his nose with harmless, yet
pointy, needle like claw's.
Rain's ears perked up as he saw the kitten. His fluffy tail flicked
slightly, a result of him being surprised. As the kitten meekly
pawed at him, he noticed its luminous amber eyes that seemed to
stare at him so innocently. His hand drew back, the Fox claws that
had overtaken his nails barely touching the kitten. The kitten's
eyes flashed ever so quickly from blood-red to amber. Its mother
must of been a spy for the vampires, Rain thought, recalling
the moment Crysia had talked about how they used to use cats. He
stroked the kitten's head. "I think you should keep it," he said
softly.
she smiled happily and hugged the little kitten.
''the school won't mind me with a kitten, they think i'm just a
poor little blind girl.... i have a special pass for seeing eye
pet's, and i'm sure this little cutie will help out!'' she said,
cooing at the little kitten as she scratched under her chin.
the kitten purred and swayed her tail happily.
''i think i'll call her midnight'' scarlet said.
she sat midnight down in her lap and leaned over, kissing rain on
the cheek.
"Always the mild ones, hm?" A voice said. Rain looked towards the
source of the voice, whereas the kitten yelped and clawed directly
at the familiar sound, causing the vampire to reveal himself and
draw back. "Ugh... damned cat," he hissed, in which Midnight only
hissed back. "You scared it," Rain said, laughing softly. Reign
just shot a glare at the cat. Crysia laughed, sitting on a nearby
branch somewhat naive them. "
You got wrecked by a cat," she gasped between laughter. Reign
flicked a butternut into her mouth, and her hair turned a hot pink
with sparkling violet horns curling out of her head. "Rain!
Crysia hissed, glaring with her now lavender eyes. Reign just
laughed, smiling with white teeth. Crysia's black devil tail
flicked grudgingly, which seemed odd since it had a heart on the
end of it.
scarlet blushed furiously in embarrassment and climbed and out of
the tree, careful not to hurt midnight.
she stormed off deeper into the wood's with the cat, grumbling
something to herself quietly.
midnight tried to comfort her by purring, but scarlet didn't
respond.
gale was flying over head, along with her brother skull.
scarlet looked up, seeing both of the crow's through some gap's
that were between the treetop's. lucifer must be nearby.. along with his cabin.... she
thought, looking ahead as she continued to walk.
midnight was sound asleep in her arm's, purring softly in attempt
to comfort her new master still.
"Scarlet, please. Why do you keep running away from us? There's
nothing to be ashamed of," Crysia said, a bit of mist flowing off
of her as she appeared next to the vampire. "Reign just gets... you
know how he gets." Her devil's tail flicked as Celestial landed on
her shoulder. Why does your tail have a heart on it? The raven remarked,
picking softly at her pink hair. Reign's stupid candy,
Crysia replied, pushing her beak to the side. Celestial gave a
small caw of amusement, Crysia glaring at her raven.
scarlet stopped walking and turned around to look at crysia, her
face still flushed a faint red.
''it's embarrassing.... how would you like it if i watched you
being alone with my brother? how would that make you feel crysia,
cause i know you like him'' she said, trying to get rid of her
embarrassment now.
"We are only acquaintances to each other, and at the most,
friends," Crysia said coldly. "And we weren't watching you,
Scarlet. Even Reign wouldn't do that. We sort of just saw you guys
and approached you. We're not stalkers," the vampire said as her
raven cruelly perched on her horns.
scarlet's teeth clenched and she looked away, tear's swelling up in
her eye's.
''well the next time you see me and rain alone, just assume i want
to be alone with him...!'' she muttered, restraining herself from
yelling at her friend.
she took a few shaky breathe's and looked at crysia, now looking
calm again.
''it was embarrassing enough when that stupid bird caught me and
rain alone.... fade's such an annoying rat with feather's....'' she
grumbled.
"Fade just hates you," Crysia said calmly, tugging at her hot pink
hair. She then quickly added, "A lot." Her dark eyes looked up at
the sky, her mouth opening as she let out a suppressed breath. "The
bird is protective of Rain. He's quite timid, and can be caught
off-guard easily, so the bird takes that into account whenever he's
with you. Fade doesn't approve of you, Scarlet, but that's all
there is to it," the vampire said, "She's really just trying to
look out for her master."
scarlet blinked.
''the bird's a girl....?'' she asked, seeming a bit surprised.
midnight yawned and woke up, rubbing her head against scarlet's
arm.
she scratched the kitten's head and just stared at crysia.
Crysia made a sound that sounded like both a cough and a laugh.
"Yes, Fade is a girl," she said, giggling as they, for some reason
kept walking forwards. "Shouldn't we go back to the twins now?"
Crysia's horns sparkled a bit, the bottom of her pink hair growing
a bit purple.
''i guess so.... though i wanna go see my brother, you can go get
the twin's if you want'' scarlet said, walking ahead of crysia as
she continued to lucifer's cabin.
"Eh, I'll just follow you," Crysia said, shrugging. "They hate your
brother anyways," the vampire added, trailing after Scarlet with a
reluctant tug at her horns.
once they arrived at the dark cabin, scarlet knocked on the door
and leaped up into the air, landing on the roof stealthily.
she grinned down at crysia and waved.
when the door opened, lucifer stood in the doorway.
''oh, hey crysia.. you can come in if you want'' he said, standing
aside so she could get inside.
"Excuse me for a moment, your sister is on the roof," Crysia said,
smiling to the roof. "Scarlet, you can come down now," she said
invitingly, Celestial perching on her friend's shoulder.
''darn it crysia...'' scarlet grumbled.
lucifer stepped out and looked up at the roof, crossing his arm's
and grinning.
''hey scar, what are you doing up there for?'' he asked.
scarlet climbed down and sighed.
''i was planning on leaving crysia here and heading back to the
forest's edge.. oh and look, i found a cat'' she said, holding up
midnight as the cat looked at lucifer innocently.
lucifer looked at the cat and rubbed one of her ear's.
''cute little ninja kitty you found'' he said.
Crysia just sighed and shook her head. Scarlet is so teasing
sometimes, she thought, turning her head to the side to gaze at
the trees. She found Lucifer an unlikely loner; he seemed more
social and joyous than she would think a regular outcast. Her
graceful raven companion glided onto her shoulder, her jet black
feathers neat for once. "It seems vaguely familiar," Crysia noted,
not even touched the amber-eyed creature. She was bad with any
animal besides ravens (and Reign).
