Rosehill Sentinel (OPEN)

[darklord]

Shade woke up feeling really cold. As he looked out of the shelter he saw that it was evening, starting to darken the sky again. The fire was out, so he went out to light it again.

[Yua]

She was hidden in the leaves, hungery she lost her meal. Atleast not in the shelter just to the side. She grew worse she rarely woke up aswell.

[darklord]

Shade spent many hours that night making a blanket out of animal pelt. After he was finished, there was a large four foot square, furry blanket for her. He laid it on her and went out to tend the fire. After it was roaring oncemore, he flew off for night patrol.

[Yua]

She stirred eyeing him than just purring. She was happy she just might make it throug such cold times. She'd be back asleep, plagued by nightmares.

[darklord]

After Shade had been flying around for many hours, he thought that it was just another uneventful night. He saw nothing at all. After he had started to circle back, however, he heard a loud sound echo up from an alley between the wood and stone buildings below. A mn had yelled twice, so he swooped down and landed on a building near the yelling noise. The edge of the roof cracked under him and a few stones had freed themselves and landed on an unsuspecting man below, knocking him unconscious. He dropped down, the snow crunching beneath is feet, and saw two men lying on the ground. One he had just knocked out, the other was lying in a pool of blood. He instantaneously saw a blade in the unconscious man's hand, and knew what had happened. He grabbed the murderer and flew to the jailhouse, dropping the unconcios man into a jail carriage with a note attached to his clothing about what had happened. He wrapped the corpse of the other in some cloth from a nearby market, a note also attached. He flew back to the camp, landing softer than usual, his head hung saddly.

[Yua]

She peeked out. Happy to see he came back. She gave a musical call feathers puffed up too. She was still ill but she enjoyed having something to look forward too. She pulled back under the fur blanket. Squeaking playfully.

[darklord]

Shade heard her and looked up, smiling lightly. "Hello" He walked over and layed next to her out of the blanket. "Are you feeling better?"

[Yua]

She peeked out from under the blanket, curious and smiling some. She was moving aalot more so she was getting better atleast. Not to mention friendly. She was no longer hostile.

[darklord]

Shade looked under the blanket. "Im guessing that that means yes." He said smiling. "Do you mind if I...?" He said making a move to scoot under the blanket.

[Yua]

She moved out of the way than curled up like a cat against his side. Smooth skin but much like a reptiles too. Feathers at that but still mammal.

[darklord]

Shade sighed happily and held Yua close to him. He was warm and no longer so alone. He closed his eyes and felt as warm as he could, smiling widely.

[Yua]

She yawned purring some. It gave her good memories of being a child. She use to crawl into a pile with other kids to sleep. Or with her mother and brother.

[darklord]

Shade opened his eyes and sighed. The events of the night had weighed on him heavily. Another had died and he didn't stop it. That made him upset with himself. Shade rubbed Yua's back and sighed saddly again.

[Yua]

She purred turning towards him. Nipping at him abit. Though was curious to his/mood tilting her head some.

[darklord]

Shade laughed playfully at her nipping and then looked into her eyes. "Someone died." His smile faded into a frown once again. "I should have stopped it..." He looked down at his legs. There was nothing he could do about it, so he would enjoy this moment. He rubbed Yua's back again and smiled widely, closing his eyes and sighing contentedly.
