Mariah's POV I've learned a few things since my escape, this smith wont be easily found, and the headless can talk. All I've been able to find out about where he lives is the name of the city. Once we made it Dave took me to an apartment that a lycan lived in. Dave: If he can't find your metal smith nobody can. Huh. Is that so I know of one other who may be better suited for this. Dave: Not possible. I stand back remembering how unstable some lycans are. Before I have a chance to stop him, he's placed his head back on its jagged stump. After three knocks the door creaked open, the lycan's resimblance to a tramitc event in my past was too close for me. ------------- Flashback The Great War was raging and the humans had just joined in by fighting eachother. My family has just called it a day. I was never one for the politics of the elven race. So my favorite get away was to take a long hot bath. I opened up the tap and started stripping all the royal crap off. I don't know why they still drag me to all these functions it's clear the like my younger sister better. They promised her the throne today. I don't care because i still get my baths. By the time I had fully stripped the tub had finished filling. I ran my fingers through the water already knowing it was at the right tempture but, it felt good so I keep doing it. I'm just stepping in when a lycan burst through the door. His eyes never moved from my body. Yes, I knew I was beautiful. But did the entire population of males have to stare? Without even thinking I drew upon my new found abilities with dark magic and crused him with immortality just to extened my punishment that he could never love any woman. ---------- I'm pulled out of the past by Dave screaming in my ear. Out of habit I took a swing for the face. It felt so good to hit someone again. Dave: Really?!?!? Did you have to knock my head across the room? And by the way that's Kern. My voice was just above a hiss. We have meet......many years ago. Kern: Well hell, time has been good to you sweetie. How long has it been since we last.....*SLAP*......ow. Dave you deal with him. Dave: Ok, I will Ms. Mariah. Kern: Was it something I said? Don't push it. You may have been the first I cursed and I will do it again. Kern: Or what you'll turn me into a worty old toad? Naw, more like trapping you inside a woman's body for the rest of eternity. ------------ Saffire's POV This last few days have been really hard with a human in my home. I woke up this morning feeling better than ever. I went down to his room and found him drained of every last drop of blood. I nearly feel apart in front of the help. I couldn't go out to the graveyard where all who die here are laid to rest. ------------- I decided not to leave after all so enjoy your update
