Skye growled. "She's the one trying to start something, she's trying to take you away from me..." he stopped and turned to face her, crouching down on all fours, his shoulderblade's starting to form wings. He let out a thratening growl. "And I'm not going to let that happen..." he snarled, his upper lip quivering as he growled. The full moon pierced through the trees and caressed his flesh. His eyes slit with fury, and he parted his jaws and roared viciously, his neck muscles straining. He planted his claws into the ground and felt his bones snap into place. His ribcage cracked and showed through his skin. His leg structure dislocated and reformed and he let out anguished grunts and snarl of pain. I haven't transformed in so long...I-I didn't remember how painful it was... He arched his back in a ripple cranging his neck and letting fur shroud his body. His claws slid out of their sheathed and the flesh on his back was torn open as wings pierced through his skin. Tears filled his dark eyes, his body quivered with pain. As the final tranformation took place, his eyes faded into a smoldering copper color, his canine teeth and ears took the form of a bat and his nose turned into a wrinked horn. He felt the earth quake beneath his paws, his senses were all completely changed. Though his eyesight was a faded grey instead of clear colors, his hearing and sense of touch were incredibly sensitive. He let out a high pitched shriek and chitters, his hackled on end.

Aithne's lip curled and she let out a horrid snarl. "You think a little stunt like that can scare me off? Just drop it Skye. You're not thinking straight. All this unnecessary skulking around is freaking everyone out and it's not helping in any way shape or form. Enough..." Her eyes narrowed, making Skye a target. She flicked her hands and her fingernails pulled back and claws slipped out in their place. The claws on her wings lengthened considerably and curved inward, creating pointed hooks. Her canines on both sides of her jaws grew an slid out of her mouth. The horns on her head grew as well and the fire markings on her body began to glow like real fire. The red and orange began to twist and spin, creating tornadoes of real fire around her. Her pupils faded into the same tainted green as the rest of her eyes and a throaty hiss escaped her lips. "I'll say it once again, Skye. Let. Her. Go. You have no right to keep her as a prisoner."

"Prisoner?! All I want is to be loved...understood by my counterparts...But you wouldn't know what love feels like would you? It's the best feeling anyone could ever imagine!! You have no Idea what feeling IS!!! ...I haven't scared anyone! Everyone loves me!! They...they can't be afraid why should they be??" he stammered, a lost look in his eyes, he started backing up, his head lashing back and forth in utter confusion. But as he saw Aithne's agression rise he grinned challengingly. "Alright, a fight it is..." he sneered, raising his voice in a roar. He leapt at her, but she raised her arms in defense and their hands interlock. His lips quivered as he growled, and his wings were scrabbling with hers. His foot was planted on her tail and his bright copper eyes blazed with fury. "Feel the darkness..." his throaty voice rumbled.

"Believe me. I KNOW what darkness is...." her lips curled in their demon smile. Whip-lashing her tail, she spiked the tip upward into the anthro's foot, making it all the way through. Now, jerking rather forcefully, she hurled her tail in the opposite direction, tearing the wound open even further. A thrush of her wings and she had them both untangled, but not without tearing a few spots in both of the membranes. "You think you've got it bad, you pathetic ball of fur. Next time you're dragged into hell and scrambling for your life, you let me know..." Another jerk and she threw him into a tree on the other side of the glade. She whipped around to face Christabella, who was standing, eyes wide, and watching the whole incident. "Christabella! Get out of here NOW!" Aithne shrieked. The last thing that needed to happen was a vampire queen being killed.

Skye let out a roar of anguish as he was tossed like a rogdoll across the clearing. He opened his eyes to see he was nearing a beech tree and twisted in mid air, gripping onto the tree with his claws, his head facing downward. He cranged his neck upwards, laying his ears back and parting his mouth in a snarl. He winced as a piece of wood slid through his foot. He kicked off the tree and thundered towards Aithne. He leapt onto her, pushing her into the ground. He raised a paw and dug his curved claws into the back of her neck, letting out a furious screech. He dragged his hand around her shoulder, Aithne's skin making a horrible ripping noise that echoed through the hallow. His hackles raised and he raised his mouth to bite her, but she took her wing and sliced through his right eye. He reared back with a roar of pain, blood clouding his vision. He perked his ears for sound of movement, a low rumble rising in his throat. He turned to hear footsteps running away. Christabella! he said in shock. Tracking her movements through the ground he leapt in front of her barring her way. "You aren't leaving me...are you?" he rumbled, lowering his head to her level, a cloud of cold air coming through his mouth as he slowly walked towards her, his teeth bared and his eyes slitted.

Christabella looked into his eyes. No Skye, I love you She looked down, and took his hand, holding it in hers. I just don't want you to hurt me, I don't want to get hurt, stop fighting, please, just stop. she took her hand, and placed it on his cheek, looking deep into his eyes, she traced his lips. Then took her hand, and slid it down his jaw, neck, and laid it on his chest. Please Skye, stop fighting.......please. Tears began to fill her eyes, and fell from her face. She looked down to the ground, and let the tears fall to the damp ground. She took her other hand and placed it over her eyes to whipe away the tears. Please.

Skye pulled his hand away, his breathing pace quickened and he backed away slowly on two legs. "You're afraid of me aren't you..."he echoed in disbelief. "You just want us to stop fighting, so we can go back to the castle and you can go back to your precious Cillian and leave me here...alone. That's what you want isn't it, to have a safe escort back to your true love, that pretty boy Cillian. Playing me like a a toy...."he snarled. "Well...be my guest, Aithne, please take her back...I don't want to see anyone right now..." he rumbled. He glared at her for a moment longer and headed slowly back into the forest.

Skye I would never be afraid of you, I mean sure you don't look the same, but you are the same person. Cillian is just a vampire in the coven he is not my love. Skye last time when I left you I am so sorry it was so dumb of me, I was so scared I did not no whta to do, I did the wrong thing. I never stopped loving you, when I left you a could not be seen I just cried I-I am so sorry. I know I must have hurt you so badly, I love Skye, and I am not afraid. She looked at him and saw Aithne coming her way, and watched as Skye slowly left into the forest.

"Skye, stop," Aithne called, though he was almost completely gone. "Just wait a moment." She turned around to Christabella. "Christabella, please. Get out of here. I don't want to be responsable for the queen of a coven getting hurt. I'll try to talk to him, but I don't know how it will go. It is in your best interest to get out of here." Turning around again, she took a step in Skye's direction. "Skye, please stop. Just hear me out. I only want to talk." Ignoring the pain in her shoulder and neck, she took another step foreward.
Lia's eyes widened as a terrible howling screech shook the night. She was out of the window in a flash and running through the trees in the forest. Stopping only for a moment, she picked up a strong scent of blood and rushed in the direction she had caught the scent. She burst through the trees into a little hidden glade. Aithne was facing the opposite direction and calling out to Skye. Skye was a lot larger, furrier, and much more evil looking, though Lia only caught sight of his back. CHristabella was standing and facing Skye as well, and she looked like she was about to totally break down. Flying past both Aithne and Christabella, she grabbed hold of Skye's large shoulder before he could completely disappear. "Skye? What happened?" she gasped, feeling the unbelieveable mass of muscles under his rippling pelt.
Cillian just held his position and didn't react when Lia jumped out the window. Now, only Elisha and he were in the labratory and everything was quiet. Everyone's certainly a little jumpy tonight. Well, I can't expect too much from a group of oddly matched vampires living far away from a coven. They've almost no manners at all. Especially that Skye. What a bloody beast. Taking off on a meaningless rampage just to get attention. Acting all depressed and lonely for no reason but to gain pity from others. He's completely lost it. And everyone wonders why I never talk. There's nothing I can say that will change the stupids things others say and do. No point in wasting my breath. His gaze flickered over to the window. The storm had stopped and the evening was now completely silent. Skye's nothing more than a pathetic child, striving to be noticed becuase everyone ignores him anyway. Oh well. If he thinks he'll get anything that way, he very sorely mistaken.

Christabella watched as Lia went up taking hold of Skye. Skye I do love you with all my heart, but I can see I was to late. She thought, and eyed Lia. Christabella dropped her head, and let the tears slither down her face. She quickly whipped the tears, and they dissolved into her sleeve. I guess I should just give up, he does not want me anymore. She thought, forgetting that Skye could hear her thoughts. Christabella swiftly turned around, and almost collapsed when she started moving. She decided Skye did not need her, and she would go back to the lab. Her body was shaking with sorrow, and the steps became harder to take. She slowly took step by step, but it seemed like she was getting nowhere. I can't go back to the lab like this, what will Elisha, and Cillian think, a queen in this kind of condition,I have to go somewhere that no one can see me like this. Chsistabelle flew into the air, went in the opposite direction of Skye, and the lab. She went deep into the forest. When she landed she saw a little warn out burrow, She miserable dug down inside of it. She cried , and rested her head on the outside of the burrow. She then put her hands over her eyes. A pool of shadows covered her, and hid her in the forest, she hoped no one would find her like this.
Elisha felt kinda strange because Cillian did not talk. She, went over by the couch, and sat down leaning back, and getting comfortable. She stared over to Cillian, studying him. Some thing was different the way he acted, and the way he looked. The eyes they were so strange, she had never seen anything like them. They were so beautiful, but there was something more, it was hard to tell, he did not look at her one time. She looked more, and more into his eyes. There is something about his eyes I just don't no what. She just stayed there for a moment looking, deeper, and deeper, but could not figure it out. Hmm... it's so odd, but marvelous, what could it be? I couple minutes past. She still did not no, but decided to start a conversation with him. She silently raised her hand, and placed it by her neck she scratched it a couple times, then put it down by her side. Her lips barely parted. "Hi." Elisha said softly.

Skye turned around. "Aithne...Lia. I have to go...I don't know where, but I have to figure things out. I'm so confused about so many things. There are questions I have to ask certain people, things I have to learn. I don't know how long I'll be gone. But I know I will be leaving...Aithne, tell Blood to do whatever you and Lia ask of him, I'm sure he'd do it anyway...but don't send him to find me." he said, turning to the rising dawn. His fur rippled and slowly melted back into skin, his pants torn. A hole lay open in his foot, black blood seeping from the rim and red blood pouring from the center. A scar marked his eye and lashes and open wounds hatched his chest and upper arms. "Hopefully," he said with a grin, "When I come back, I'll be a different person..." he turned away from them and began walking away, but abruptly came to a stop. "Oh and Aithne...would you tell Cillian I hate him...in the meanest way possible....you'd be good at that I'm sure..." he said, a small laughter escaping him. He looked again at the sun, the crimson color fading back into an icy blue. "Bye." he said and began running off into the dawn light.

Aithne nodded, her eyes fading back to their normal color. Her teeth shrank back into her mouth and her wings curved back out into their regular shape. Her claws slid back into her fingers and out came the fingernails. Her horns began to shape back into their normal position and the fire on her body became still once more. "Don't worry. I'm sure Cillian already knows," she said with a smile. She turned to Lia, who was frozen. "Lia, I'm heading back to the castle. You're coming, aren't you?"
Lia closed her eyes and tried to fight back the tears, but one slipped through and slid down her cheeck. I'm so confused. What happened to Skye and why was Christabella here and crying as well? Something was going on between those two... But it doesn't matter now. "Yes, I'm coming..." she replied weakly. She turned around and took off toward the castle, not bothering to wait for anyone.
Cillian's cold gaze flickered in her direction. The silver in his blind eyes seemed to twist and swirl as he studied her for a moment, though he could not see. Great. She wants to start a conversation. "Your name is Elisha, is it not?" His eyes narrowed and he placed his hands in his coat pockets. He tilted his head toward the ceiling, closed his eyes, and sighed. "And you're new to the part of the woods I see. You haven't been here very long and you know not what to do or even what to think about all of this." His lips curved into a small smile, but he kept his head tilted toward the ceiling.

Elisha turned her head to te side. "Um yeah, I am very confused, and lost. She looked at him. Wait how did he no that.. She but her hand by her lower lip, and traced it. "Um........might I ask how did you know..... that?

Cillian's gaze went from the ceiling to Elisha, his eyes locked on her. "Well, I can't tell you everything, but I can tell you this. Many elders say this land is different, maybe even cursed. Many vampires here have powers of some sort. Some more than others. Some say the powers come from the very air and lie in wait until they choose a vampire to their liking. Others say it is the land and space itself. That there is a curse lying about and those with powers are but pawns in something bigger to come. Never-the-less, I am one such vampire with a few powers. Mine lie in my eyes, and what they are I will not tell you. But if you think on it, it is not hard to figure out." His smile crept back onto his face and he took his hands out of his pockets. "Now, if you don't mind, I've wasted enough time here." Without waiting for so much as a comment, he took off out the window and hit the ground running straight for the forest.
Lia reached the castle a few minutes after Cillian had left. She lept through the window and looked around, her eyes still holding back tears. The place was empty except for Elisha, who was sitting on the couch with a confused look on her face. "Umm... Elisha? W-what's wrong?" she asked, wiping away a few tears that had broken through.
Aithne sighed after Lia had taken off. Everyone's so confused and my head hurts. Screw this. I'll tell Lia I'm heading home and then cut myself off from the world for a day or so. She opened her wings again and took off above the trees, but at a leisurely pace. Suddenly, a flash of silver split across the ground below her. She stopped and hovered for a moment, taking in a breath. Cillian? What's he doing out here? I thought he was back at the castle. Turning around, she blasted through the trees until she caught up with the blazing fast vampire. She flew a few yards ahead before plummetting in front of Cillian to stop him. "What are you doing out here?" she asked, catching her breath.
