All the Fantasy

[Ariaddne and Victor]

"Sweetheart please... I want you to go. I want you to run and Don't think about us at all. Please. I need you to do this. I can't let them have you to Ari!" Ariaddne watched the tears fall down the face of her mother as she cupped hers gently in her hands. "Forget this! Go and never come back!"

She never did forget. Mostly because they wouldn't let her. Ariaddne traced the marks on her wrists. They were the most prominent of the scars received so long ago. Occasionally she would move her back muscles as if she still had wings. As if they hadn't been brutally torn from her skin back then. She had almost lost the ability to feel. She used to hate her parents for giving her the life that she's had. over 800 years she's been running. They caught her at one point, but now she likes to think that she's finally free except that she isn't. She will never truly be free.

Ariaddne traced the fence as she walked along side it. Her steps were in a rhythm or sorts. A small, dying tree sprout caught her attention. Her eyes looked from side to side. No one was around. "Hey there... You poor thing." she said, bending down to touch it. She felt it's energy flowing through it. It was trying, but didn't have quite what it needed. Ariaddne closed her eyes and gave it a bit more energy. When she opened them, it was a little greener, and a little taller. She brushed her hands together as she stood. "Much better," she said with a small smile on her face. She continued walking in her rhythm until someone walked by and broke it. They gave her a supernatural feeling...

[Nova]

Nova hurried by the girl, ducking her head as she passed. It was dangerous for the wolf girl to be in this neighborhood, it was well known in her pack as a Hunter's neighborhood. She'd needed supplies for injured wolves, casualties of a recent fight between the Hunters and the wolves, and the only way to get back to the lair from the supply shop was through the dangerous neighborhood. Keeping her head down, Nova quickly stepped around a figure on the sidewalk, wincing when a rough hand came down on her shoulder. She froze, blinking her eyes quickly as her instincts started to kick in. The person who had grabbed her, a tall boy, leaned towards her, placing his mouth next to her ear.
"This is a dangerous neighborhood for a wolf like yourself to be taking casual walks in." He snarled in her ear, making her wince and frown. "If I had half a mind, I would kill you right here, right now, but since we have an audience, I won't do that. Instead, you're coming with me." He started to pull the wolf-girl down another side street as she struggled in his tight grip.
"This is kidnapping! This is illegal! Help me! Help me, he's kidnapping me!" Nova screamed out towards the girl she had passed, her eyes wide with fear and hatred.
"Shut up!" The boy hissed, backhanding Nova across the face to make her be quiet. She let out a pitiful whimper before falling silent, her eyes still trained on their bystander as the boy dragged her away.
"Please...help..." She whimpered almost silently before turning around to unwillingly follow the boy back to his headquarters, where she would probably be executed on the spot.




Logan dragged the girl after him, rolling his eyes at her constant struggles. He had known right away that she was a werewolf. The almost canine gait that she walked with, the way her head was down, as if to avoid being noticed. Not to mention the ever present stench of dog.
"My pack will know I'm gone. They'll come for you." She stated matter of factly, giving up trying to get away from the Hunter.
"And we'll be ready for them, like we always are." Logan replied. "Now shut up, before I make you." The girl let out a 'hmph' before falling silent again, hurrying to keep up with his long stride.
"Are you gonna kill me?" She asked as he unlocked the front door of the large mansion that was the Hunter's headquarters. "I haven't even done anything to warrant this. You know, I could call the police and have you arrested for kidnapping me."
"Didn't I tell you to shut up, you stupid dog." The girl made an indignant huff as Logan rolled his eyes once more. "We probably won't kill you." He allowed after a few seconds of silence. "We'll probably just use you as a negotiating tool, to get your pack off of our land." He explained, rather unkindly, as they waited in the entrance for someone to take the girl away to a cell.
"We didn't invade your land, oh my god. Come off it. We were here first, YOU invaded OUR lands, and you should think yourselves lucky that we don't try harder to take it back. You haven't seen our full potential yet!" She boasted to the Hunter, but he didn't seem to hear. Another Hunter, a girl this time, had finally arrived and was talking to him in a hushed tone.
"Come on, dog. Let's get you to your kennel." The girl grabbed her roughly and dragged her away from Logan, who watched after them with cold indifference.
"I'M NOT A DOG!" The girl yelled as she was pulled through another door. Despite himself, Logan found a smile of amusement growing on his face at the quirky werewolf he had captured.
