Lost and Alone }{ Very Open!

[renkhal]

Renkhal was tired, but he was torn. He would have been able to sit up the rest of the night, and he told Raine he would. But he didn't want to insult Twichey either.

"I'll rest a little, then," Renkhal said, getting comfortable in his previous spot. "Wake me immediately if that feeling of yours gets any stronger, or you start feeling the least bit drowsy. I'm a fairly light sleeper anymore."

He closed his eyes and let himself drift off.

[Twichey]

[navy] " Aye can do mate". Twichey said as he continued sharpening his hidden blade. He watched Renkhal drift off into a light slumber, he could tell this man had spent many a night sleeping with one eye open, so to speak.

About 45 minutes later finally satisfied with the sharpness of his blade. He drew in the blade with the small metal peg that was on it. He then placed the wet-stone back into his bag and shifted his position on the stump.

He gazed up through the treetops at the glimmer of the full moon that shown through and began to think. " With demons following us and the forest creatures enthralled by the full moon this is going to be one sticky escape even for this small group. I hope that my master will watch over me and my new traveling party."

Just as he finished this thought his stomach began to churn and his eye began to twitch.[/navy] [glow=red,2,300]"Its not hear yet but soon it shall come"[/glow] [navy] "Thank you master I shall prepare", Twichey said as he jumped from his stump and started making his way to Raine he then whistled sharply in the direction of Renkhal.

"Miss Raine rouse your self we need be ready. I have a very bad feeling."[/navy]

[laraine]

Raine awoke and pulled herself up into a sitting position.

"What's going on?" She asked. But as the words finished leaving her lips, a sound from far into the forest turned her attention. She stared hard into the dark woods as the sound slowly moved closer to their position. Her eyes widened at this and she sprung to her feet. She grasped her crystal wand and transformed it into her shimmering sword, made entirely of the same stone her wand was made of.

She got into position. Narrowed purple eyes stared into the abyss. From it finally several demons sprang from the darkness, landing before the three. The ground shook as each grotesque demon circled them.

"Not again.." Raine hissed.

"Laraine." A voice called out and suddenly a figure appeared before her, a hand under her chin and forcing her to look into his red eyes.

Raine's eyes showed fear, then anger.

"Hello, half breed." The man was smirking, still holding Raine's head in his hand.

"You..." Raine growled, She swiftly moved her sword, only for it to be caught in his other hand. Dark blood stained her blade from the large gash it was making into his hand, but he didnt seem to care about that. He still stared deep into her eyes.

Raine didn't know what he was doing, but she knew that if he continued, she would die.

Suddenly his eyes widened and then closed as Raine punched him with one of her hands that had previously held onto the sword. She sprung from his grasp and swallowed uneasily as he got to his feet, laughing.

"Brilliant Laraine...." The glowing red of his eyes intensified as his demons suddenly attacked Twitchey and Renkhal.

Meanwhile this strange man with red eyes and long pink hair strode towards Raine.

[renkhal]

Renkhal opened his eyes at Twichey's whistle, and eased himself into consciousness.

"Miss Raine, rouse yourself we need to be ready. I have a bad feeling," he heard Twichey say, though it didn't quite sink in right away. It wasn't until they were surrounded by demons.

"Well, that's one way to wake a person..." he mumbled to himself before drawing his sword. "They're resilient, I'll give them that."

He prepared himself to fight, moving close to the others, but not seeing the demon come up to Raine until she spoke. Looking over his shoulder, he winced. The demon was holding Raine's sword. However, he didn't get a chance to do anything to help her because he had to concentrate on the oncoming attack from the other demons.

Impaling one on his sword, he took a blow to the shoulder as he pulled out to swing at the other. The pain in his shoulder lessened the power of the swing, so it did next to nothing. Renkhal had to switch his sword arm up, barely missing another attack.

With the attack, he could barely spare a thought on whether the others were all right or not.

[Twichey]

[navy] The first demon that Twichey had spotted was only a few feet from him. Unsure of how many there were or what exactly they were he rushed the closest one. He drew his two hip blades and dashed between its legs. Arms extended he sliced what he thought to be the demons calf's on each side. The demon fell to its knees and howled in pain. He took this opportunity to leap upon the demons back and sink both of his blades deep into its neck from either side. This silenced the howl of pain and was replaced by a short wet gurgle. He drew his blades from the neck of his foe and a dark liquid gushed from the two gashes and it fell to the ground with Twichey on its back.

Not taking time to inspect the body he moved in closer to Renkhal who looked as if he had been bashed or swiped on the shoulder fairly badly."I've got yer back mate" Twichey stated as he began to rush to Renkhal's side.
Only after he reached his friend did he see what was happening to miss Raine.[/navy]

[laraine]

Raine stared hard at the man as he slowly walked towards her. The ever dimming moonlight exposed his long pink hair, stark red eyes and slim figure. He wore black pants and a brown shirt with torn sleaves. At his waist was a old and rusted sword. His smile was crooked and demented. His scent was entirely of blood and rust.

Raine's own nostrils flared at the smell of blood, it triggered a memory she had wished she forgot. Gritting her teeth her eyes began to fade into a dark red color, rage starting to overcome her soul.

"You...bastard...what are you doing here?" She snarled, swinging her sword before her.

He laughed, a demonic and twisted sound.

"Why Laraine, don't you want to greet your family? It's so rude not to." with one swipe of his sword, a large tear appeared in Raine's shirt, a second later a cut appeared, blood flowing rapidly from the wound. Raine grasped her side and glared up at the man.

His amused eyes faded into a cold disinterest.

"You really are no fun unless you are crying...remember the last time we met? I still remember your pain...it was simply delicious.." a slight smirk appeared.

Something snapped within Raine and she attacked him with her sword, each attack he evaded effortlessly.

"You.....I'll kill you!" Raine screamed. "For everything you have done... I swear I will kill you Rusty!" Swinging at him wildly, she held back the tears that threatened to form.

While dodging, he laughed. "Very good Laraine! That's the pain I want! The pain when you lost everything! Now....CRY!" He sword slammed hard into Raine's.

Raine's pain consumed her. Thought and reason seemed to fly out the window as she and Rusty traded blows.

Raine didn't feel the pain as Rusty's sword cut through her flesh again as they fought. She was too consumed with revenge. Sstill she had a fragment within her mind that told her she was going to die if she didn't stop and her new found companions as well.

"Do it Laraine! Set loose your doomed magic on me! That's the only way to destroy me!" He laughed again, knowing that he had her where he wanted her.

Now that girl will break apart...and be nothing but a doll...

Raine managed to hold onto her last bit of sanity as he said this.

If I use that....it will kill Twitchey and Renkhal too...I cant....let him control me....Raine...gain back control...

Still her body and the pain within her heart continued to fight.

Once Rusty realized that she wouldn't let loose her magic, he frowned, meeting her sword with his own. Then used one hand to send a blast of demonic energy at her chest.

She flew back and hit the ground hard a few inches from the others who were still fighting the demons.

"If you won't be a good girl Laraine...then I suppose its time to die...." Rusty's voice was emotionless as he walked up to her figure.

"Die..." He sent another demonic blast towards her as she struggled to stand.
