Suz hung her head "Look lady, I just barely escaped from there with my life the first time. Do you really think I want to go back" she says

B- “Bunch of winy babies. What's so bad about waring me anyways?" it seemed to ask. "At least their alive so what if their enslaved" it went on

Lorn nodded "Yes of course I would like to be free" he said

Vivi frowned glancing at Suz “So you want to stay messed up in the head and forgetting everything?" she paused hearing the bracelet and rolled her eyes thinking ~coming from experience...being a slave isn't that great~ she sighed and glanced to Lorne “So why not go...we can at least try...." she shrugged "I'm not going to make anyone go but unless you want to be stuck with me forever we need to try and do something"

Suz was trembling remembering some horrible cold dark place. "I'm scared of going back" she told Vivi.

Lorn sighed heavily "I want to go back but I don't know the way" he says. "But if she recently escaped I bet she knows" he comments

Vivi groaned and leaned against the wall and looked at the both of them “Fine...Suz...you don’t have to come if you don’t want to...but if you could at least...draw us a map...or something....that would be great.."

Suz shook her head "No, it's ok I'll go. I don't want to stay like this. I will just have to face my fears I guess" she says "Just need to write a note to myself so I don't forget where we are going" she mumbles moving off and leaving the two alone

Vivi frowned watching Suz leave and shaking her head “That would piss the ever living hell out of me forgetting shit all the time" she glanced at Lorne and tilted her head slightly as she looked at him "you okay?"

Lorn nodded "my healing is kicking in. I should be fine soon enough" he says "Though I could really go for some food and drink "He laughed his stomach grumbling as he spoke

Vivi nodded then laughed "I'll go get you something....stew ok?" she turned heading for the stairs and pausing on the first one

Lorn nodded "Yha stew will be fine" he says sitting up now

Vivi wandered upstairs and moved to the bar leaning on it catching Wendy’s attention "hey ya doll can I get a bowl of stew....the angel is hungry" she smirked propping her chin in a hand while she chatted idly with the barkeep while she waited on the meal "where'd Suz go?" she glanced around looking for the wolf while she waited

Wendy smiled serving viv and chatting "she went upstairs something about packing her things" she told vivi

Vivi nodded sliding the bowl of stew closer looking for a rag so she could carry the hot bowl "didn't think she'd start that fast...she must like to be prepared...or nervous" she shrugged blowing a kiss to Wendy who was an old friend and grabbed a towel before picking up the bowl and moving back downstairs with it "okay this sucker is hot," she moved to the table beside Lorne’s bed and sat the bowl down gingerly

"Shit…I forgot your drink" Vivi sighed fluttering off the ground and flying back upstairs for the sake of speed grabbing a mug and bottle before flying back down landing beside Lorne’s bedside before she set the cup down and tried to uncork the bottle her wings glistening in the light as they moved slightly before laying back against her back again

Lorn was staring at Vivi again and there was the odd sensation that he wasn't the only one. ~So..unfair...I..~ the though passed his mind leaving him feeling angry and hurt. But why? What the heck was that all about? What was't fair? he gave his head a shake as if coming out of a daze. The bracelet heating up around Vivi's writs yet again.

Vivi held the glass out to him after filling it feeling the bracelet warm up "ow...take this please" she sighed handing the glass over so she could start rubbing the bracelet on her wrist "damn thing..never know when its gonna do that" she sighed moving to sit on the edge of her bed and leaned forward putting her face in her hands and rubbing her eyes a bit before moving to lay back on the bed while Lorne ate

Lorn takes the drink and begins to eat "I'm sorry. I wish I could make it stop hurting you" he said completely unaware for the voice Vivi heard from the bracelet

B- "I do it whenever the hell I feel like doing it" it told her sounding like some child sulking. "Everyone blame the bracelet, when if only you had just choose to being with I might have actually been nice.... Might" he emphasized

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 9 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

Vivi sighed and looked down at Lorn “The bracelet...." She sighed again trying to get it together to talk “It...it said I had to choose how you looked...I didn't want to...I want you to be you..." Her bottom lip was still trembling “But...it tried to choose for me…started to make you change....so I...I had to..." She shook her head slightly "I'm sorry....I want to fix this...but I don't know how" She squeezed his hand a bit “At least now it's over"

Lorn blinked and frowned "It's not your fault Vivi, Neither of us knew it would do this" He told her honestly, his voice weak. He had only ever belonged to the witch so had no idea this would happen.

Suz frowns “That bracelet of yours is some nasty piece of work" she commented

Vivi glanced over her shoulder at Suz and nodded “Yeah...I just don’t know how to get rid of the thing...I don’t want it to hurt him or me....but every time I try to take it off it burns us” She sighed her shoulders slumping slightly glancing back to Lorne “Can I do anything for you?"

B- the voice hissed in Vivi's mind "You can't take me off unless you give me to another and then the process would just start all over again" it taunted.

Lorn shook his head “Not unless you can ease the pain more then that girl..." he trailed off recognition in the mans eyes "You!" he breathed in a harsh gasp.

Suz brought a paw to her chest "What about me?" she asked

Vivi heard the bracelet's voice in her head and winced slightly at the thought of Lorne getting stuck with another master and shook her head slightly, glancing down again at Lorne then stiffening as he exclaimed in surprise glancing back at Suz then to Lorne again “What?" She frowned looking at Lorne with her brows raised.

Lorn raised an arm pointing a shaky finger at Suz “She was there, at the place where I was made" He told Vivi, mentioning this fact for the first time

Suz Tilted her head and squinted here eyes looking at him for some time "Oh yha, I thought you looked familiar" she says finally

Vivi looked back and forth between the pair and looking confused “What...wait...so she was where....what?" She sat back a bit and sighed trying to make sense of it…”You both were....made?" She perked a brow “So you looked like a demon when you last saw her?"

Suz nodded “Well mostly, when I first saw him he was lovely. He was an angel." she said dreamily

Lorn Scowled “And then they turned me into what you see now” he told her

Vivi frowned shaking her head “If he was so damn sexy why did they change him....couldn't the witch just find a demon to start with...or was she not your first master?" She ran a hand through her hair looking confused still “Wait...where is this place anyways...does it still exist?"

Suz frowned and nodded "It's the same place that is responsible for me being the way I am and the stupid memory spell that keeps me from remembering what I am" She explained

Vivi started to rub her temples now trying to make sense of it “So...you aren't really a werewolf...or...just cant remember you are one...or...ugh..." She moved to fall back on the bed beside Lorne “This is fucked up" she sighed laying there a bit “So...can they fix you if they messed it all up in the first place?"

Suz shook her head " Oh no I'm a werewolf alright, but they were trying to separate the two sides, It's what they do. They take you apart and then put the parts back together to make something else. I have seen it all done. Though I'm not sure if it can be reversed" she admitted with a shrug. Then she laughed "Now why would you start out with a demon when you can have one customs made to your liking?" She asked her eyes going distant and showing pain

Vivi shrugged laying there "why not just have you bite someone to make a new werewolf or use something closer to what you’re trying to make, to make it not the damn polar opposite....seems a waste..not to mention stupid..." she frowned sitting up "still...if they can take people apart why cant they fix them"

Lorn growled "They do it because people pay them to do it and because in doing so they bind us to those stupid bracelets and make us a slave. " he said to her

Suz nodded "Yha something about the process being needed for the binding to be affective " she agreed "As for fixing us I truly don't know. I have only ever seen it done the one way" she admitted

Vivi moved to stand and ran a hand through her hair again "well...how else are we supposed to get this damn bracelet off...well not bound to Lorne anyways? I'm sure he'd prefer to be a free man again hmmm?" she gave Suz a look then glanced back over her shoulder at Lorne "right?"

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 8 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

B- “Well I would have just communicated with you through your mind but you blocked me out. So now I'm using Lorn" It said the scent she asked for coming off of Lorn now and if she were to taste him the same could be said to be true, not that she would at such a time. "Very good, What kind of man do you like? color of hair and all that?" it asked next becoming more personal with it's inquiry. Still sounding like some underpaid intern who would really rather be doing anything but this right now. Still the jealousy and hurt remained though a touch more obvious in these questions.

Vivi tilted her head, brow still raised and looking confused “Well...I'm not in the habit of letting anything get in my head so...no offense" She sighed “Against the job description ya know" She blinked in surprise at his next inquiry, stepping back a bit looking guarded “….Why....?" She frowned "I don't have a preference"

B- “Oh but you must choose you see for it's part of my contract to each new owner that wares me. To make the man exactly what and how they want. So please miss Fae what will it be?” The voice almost hissed sounding angry now that she was being so difficult.

She shook her head looking down at Lorne almost looking hurt “No...I don't want to....cant you just make him look like....well him...ya know what he's supposed to look like...I don't own him....that's why I got him away from that witch...he doesn't belong to anyone he isn't property for Gods sake" She crossed her arms almost hugging herself

B- The voice growled "Fine you don't want to choose then I'll chose for you, how's that?" it practically yells at her, anger and frustration all mixed in together as Lorn now wakes screaming in agony. His skin becomes a similar shade to hers and his hair goes from red to blue as well. He was slowly tuning into a male version of Vivi minus the wings though. His screams become worse as his wings drop away leaving gapping wounds on his back.

Suz rushes over and grabs some potions trying to get him to drink them so that they can sedate the man "Dear lord, what the hell have I got myself into" she gasps

Vivi watched looking shocked and shaking her head “stop...you're hurting him....stop damn it" She shook her head seeing how the bracelet was changing him “Geez..what’s wrong with you…?” She moved over to Lorne’s other side trying to help Suz “What do I do to make it stop?”

B- The familiar felling comes back up her arm as Suz tried to deal with the now awake and in pain Lorn. If Vivi let it in it would simply say in a deep uncaring voice "Choose"

Vivi felt the feeling running up her arm and did let the voice in this time hearing him and nodded “Fine...alright..." she sighed trying to think “Ummm...." She couldn't think of what Lorne said he looked like or if he had ever said, eventually she gave up and shrugged “Black hair....long...soft.....good skin....pale...but not too pale...green eyes" She paused chewing her bottom lip….”Sea foam green" She nodded "I like the way he was built already and his height...." She frowned “Give him his wings back...please"

B-The voice left her mind and seemed to concentrate on Lorn once more as Lorn became exactly what she asked for. Though more screaming was to be had as the bracelet made the man grow his wings back, meaning more blood was shed. Even Wendy at this point came down to see what the hell was going on shaking her head.

Vivi watched Lorne change and winced shaking her head knowing growing wings had to hurt but figured it was best to keep him as close to what he was used to as she could and only make him hurt once if she could help it glancing to Wendy and moving to her friend hugging the woman looking pitiful as she glanced at Lorne "I didn't know what to do....I feel so bad" she sighed stepping away and moving to Lorne to sit with him while he changed and taking his hand once he was finished and able to lay back trying not to cry looking at him "I'm so sorry…so sorry" She sniffled

Suz finished wrapping the man up yet again, making him smell nothing like pumpkins thanks to her salve. After Wendy gives Viva hug she comes and helps to remove the execs wings laying on the floor, Shaking her head at the scene

Lorn he looked to Vivi, tears rolling down his face his grip on her hand weak at best "What's going on? why am I in so much pain?" he said, not aware of what just happened . But at least it seemed with the change the burns were gone along with other wounds. If you didn't pay too much attention to his back and wings he looked fine.

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 7 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

She smiled and brushed against the woman in a flirtatious manner "You don't say and you’re such a fine young thing too" she smirks taking the woman's hand to examine the bracelet "Odd how localized this burn is" she says kissing it lightly “How about I buy you a few drinks hmm" she smiles batting her eyelashes at the woman

Vivi laughed, smirking as Suz looked at the bracelet and shrugged “Must have gotten hot when he caught fire...I was close" Her smile widening as Suz kissed her hand then moved to slip an arm around the other woman's waist…”Sure thing toots"

Suz led the way upstairs flirting heavily with the woman, she was open to loving all and often made the effort to at least try to hit on those who didn't look like they might kill her for it. It had taken her some time to get to this point since she thought herself human and found the other races too strange. But these days it hardly seemed to matter. She bought the woman drinks and things led to where they always seemed to lead with Suz, into a bed where the fey found out the girl was a wolf but didn't mind. The two finished in their fun and the white werewolf lay holding Vivi now content.

Vivi sighed and lounged with Suz a bit then sat up with a groan "now I'm tired...I totally blame you by the way" She glanced at Suz and laughed shrugging, running a hand through her blue hair “Might be time for that nap after all...and we should check on your patient before he wakes up alone in the basement...hmmm?" She chuckled

Suz yawned and nodded "I'll go check on him in a bit before we sleep” She said kissing the woman and nuzzling her. '"I have to warn you though I may not remember this when I change back" She told the woman as she got up, her white ears cut short to look more human

Vivi was cuddling with her but paused hearing Suz as she explained “Hmmm? maybe I shouldn’t stay then...unless your used to waking up with strange woman and no memory of how they got there" She grinned rubbing Suz's back “Let's go check on Lorne then we'll figure out where we’re all sleeping" she sat up and moved to get dressed before heading down stairs

Suz looked to Vivi "I don't think you understand you see my human side doesn't remember anything my wolf side does, stupid memory curse. I'll remember coming up here with you but that's as far as I will know in my human form." She explained leaning into the woman's touch before getting up and wrapping an apron around herself since normal clothes wouldn't fit this form

Vivi shrugged before pulling her shirt over her head “Still seems like you'd freak out waking up with a naked woman in your bed....well or pleasantly surprised" She chuckled “Lets go see how the...whatever he is, is doing" She tugged on pants before slipping into boots and headed out the door

As the two left the room the warmth in the bracelet returned and something traveled from it and along Vivi’s arm trying to get into her mind

Vivi glanced down at the bracelet as she walked frowning and closing off her mind, she reached over and rubbed the bracelet just incase it tried to burn her again. She walked down the stairs peaking around the corner to see if Lorne was up as she took the last few steps into the basement

When she refused in entry it sought out another source and though Lorn was still asleep as Vivi approached Lorn’s mouth began to move as a voice not his own spoke making Suz startle " what's your favourite scent? what is your favourite flavour?" The voice asked almost dryly as if going through a list of boring questions it was being forced to ask because it was .

Vivi frowned hearing Lorne and moved closer to him “That's.....weird....why would he say junk like that in his sleep?" she leaned over Lorne and touched him gingerly trying to wake him up “Hey....hey Lorne"

Suz looked between the two confused "Your friend sure is odd" she said watching the odd conversation and keeping a safe distance

B-The voice became irritated "This is the bracelet talking through Lorn my dear thing now please answer my questions so we can get on with our existence as such" it said a bit of hurt and jealousy hidden among the tone it used now

She blinked in surprise glancing down at the bracelet on her wrist "what the…you talk? well..sort of" she glanced back to Lorne... then to Suz nodding in agreement with her "my favourite scent is jasmine and rain if its perfume...in general its pumpkin spice....same for flavour too" She shrugged “Why?" she perked a brow curiously

Suz could do nothing but blink her words lost at just how odd this was, even for her.

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 6 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

Vivi fell to the ground gasping and wincing from what little of the fire that was on Lorne touched her patting at her cloak and thankful she wore it as she coughed holding her throat. She scrambled for the bracelet clutching it to her breast as she looked up to see Lorne going after the witch pushing more magic into the illusion to try and keep the woman cowering

He collapsed when the witch was dead, the fire still threatening to burn him alive. “Vivi, the bracelet stroke it" He gasped, as he gave into the injuries and passed out next to the mutilated body of the witch.

She held the bracelet and stroked it like a cat while she caught her breath still coughing a bit

Lorn did nothing but the fire that threatened to consume and kill him died away as she stroked the bracelet at last. He was burnt all over, skin pealing in some places and bald spots on his wings from feather loss. He was barley breathing

Vivi rushed over to Lorne looking him over “Shit...Lorne!" She put the bracelet on and tried to move him but he was too heavy. Finally holding him as she began hopping from spot to spot with him, each time the pair burst into golden leaves as they disappeared and reappeared, getting them away from the witches house and near town before Vivi collapsed exhausted beside Lorn in the woods.

As she came to rest there was warmth from the bracelet and it changes shape to wrap more fully around her writs. It soon started changing colours landing on a shining purple, Vivi’s favorite color at that moment. Lorn groaned gasping for air still.

*** Sometime Later ***

When Vivi next woke she was in the infirmary in Wendy’s Tavern, a red head human looking her over "Boy what the hell, where you two up to. Him burnt to shit and you passed out?" She asked in her souther drawl

Vivi blinked and groaned before rolling and sitting up holding her head "what the hell....where are we?" she glanced at the woman still looking out of it

Suz smiled gently pushing her to lay back "You are in the Infirmary in the basement of Wendy's Tavern my dear." She told the woman "Now lay back, you need to rest" she coaxed her gently. She then moved to continue to wrap Lorn's burn flesh with cold wet dressings covered in some salve that stank. She then brought some water for Vivi to drink “Here love have something to drink" she says "Your friend is burnt pretty bad”

Vivi laid back as Suz nudged her and sighed “The infirmary? I've been to Wendy’s a million times and I never knew this was here....she was holding out on me" She smirked despite feeling like hell then glanced to the side watching the woman wrap Lorne’s wings “Is he going to be okay?" She looked at him worriedly feeling like shed failed him slightly letting him get so hurt

Suz nodded "He seems to have self healing abilities so he will heal himself in time. The salve will just help him along really. I don't have any magic so just everyday first aid for you two." She told her and smiled to Vivi "yha, I think Wendy told me it was some new addition before she hired me" She smiled kindly. The bracelet beginning to warm up on Vivi’s writs after being ignore for so long.

Vivi listened and sighed in relief laying back on the bed closing her eyes and nodding while she listened. The bracelet heated up until it was actually painful making her wake up again and yelp sitting up "OW! holy fuck!" She looked at her hand, forgetting about the bracelet until then and pulled on it…”What the hell?” She finally remembered to pet it and sat back rubbing the bracelet quickly more like she was trying to polish it but wanting to make the pain stop quickly

Suz startled hearing the woman call out "Is everything ok?" she asked Vivi, pausing in what she was doing to look over at her. The bracelet of course would cool down as Vivi pet it

Vivi blinked looking at Suz and sighing "yeah...just...hurt my wrist" She held up her hand to explain “I’m good....just help him...ignore me" She smirked and lay back down

Suz nodded and went back to patching up the passed out Lorn. "You know I doubt your friend here will be awake until tomorrow. If you like after I patch you up you can go stay in one of the rooms upstairs" She offered

Vivi listened and nodded “I’m good here for now...but maybe later"

She sighed finally finished her work with Lorn "Well I'm done with him for now, did you want something to eat or drink since I'm going to grab a few things from upstairs anyways?" She asked Vivi.

Vivi smiled moving to get up once more “If you’re going to go get food then I’ll come with you” she told Suz

Suz sighed and nodded "I was going to bring the food back down to you but all right missy, if you insist. So what's the tail with angel wings there. He your boy friend or something?" She asked Vivi

Vivi shook her head and glanced at Lorne “No...we just met yesterday. I helped him leave his master that's all"

Lorn moved unwillingly forward "I bring nothing to you master. I only return home as normal" He lied, but the witch moved the bracelet like a whip and without touching him whip marks appeared on his back. A twist of the bracelet had him gasping for air, as the sound of his rib breaking again could be heard

"don't lie to me boy, you make me angry when you lie" she says in her wheezy and old haggard voice

Vivi watched the witch in horror, rushing forward standing between the witch and Lorne even if it wouldn't do any good spreading her arms wide "STOP IT! STOP you retched old hag.!" She frowned, breathing heavily, trying to keep from simply rushing the woman

The witch cackled "You really think standing between me and him will stop his punish meant. You know for a fairy you're pretty dumb" She cackled, choking Lorn "Now little angel rip off her gaudy wings and snap her neck before I snap yours" She hissed warningly

Vivi glared at the witch before glancing back at Lorne and moving forward so she was out of his reach, incase he had to do what the witch said. Looking back at the witch hunting for what she was afraid of, using her gifts as autumn queen "Yeah well you’re still the ugliest witch I've ever seen…No wonder you have to force him to sleep with you...I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole you bitch" She smirked

Lorn moved as the choking stopped, the witch hisses "Trying to use fairy magic hu? Well lets see how you like my magic?" She says blowing stink powder in the girls face and making Lorn move to grab Vivi.

It's not long before he move to Vivi's side and reaches over to wrap a hand around her throat. His teeth clenched as he fights for control. But smoke rises from his wings the more he resists, threatening to burn him up.

The witch tosses blinding powder in the fairies face screeching "get her make her stop" She howls the fear starting to sink in

Vivi looked at the witch in surprise when she caught on to her magic, sputtering and coughing as the powder is blown in her face. she trys to fight off Lorne when he grabs her kicking and wiggling not wanting to hurt him “Stop…Stop it Lorne..." She finally screamed before it was cut off as Lorne wrapped a hand around her throat, he could feel her pulse fluttering very fast against his hands from the veins in her neck as she struggled trying to blink the dust out of her eyes. Finally she uses glamour to make the whole front yard of the witches cabin into what the woman feared most in sheer defence

The witch yelled in fear but pressed the angel on “Kill her, kill her” She chanted, griping the bracelet tightly as her fears came at her making her face go pale.

Lorns's black wings caught flame even as his grip tightened around Vivi’s throat. He was struggling and Vivi would see the flash of something or was it someone else staring out from Lorne's eyes. But it was too quick of an instance to know for sure.

Vivi kept struggling tying to stay conscious, finally blinking the powder from her eyes as she saw Lorne’s wings catch fire and gasped. Her body going slack in his arms as she tried to stop fighting him in hopes that it would save him from further harm though she kept the illusion up…Her focus on that and trying to keep breathing around Lorne’s tight grasp…She started to breath terribly slow despite the pain it caused her lungs while Lorne squeezed her, holding her off the ground "Lorne...it's okay..." She rasped trying to speak as best she can... "I....I prom,,,ised...I'd..free you" she wheezed and tried to cough, only making her throat hurt worse as she turned her violet eyes to the witch looking at her murderously watching her cower in fear “What..ever...you...see...I hope..it ki...kills you....bitch"

Lorne’s eyes glow brilliant white "No It's not ok, I can't hurt you. I.." He didn't finish the sentence, as he was now fully being consumed in fire he dropped Vivi at last and stalked over to the witch who's face deadpan. She tried everything but even the bracelet seemed against her. It turned black in her hand and no matter how much damage she tried to cause nothing was happening. Lorn grabbed the bracelet screaming in pain as he tossed it to Vivi then began his attack on the witch, who was too lost to fear to do much in defence.

She nodded in understanding not seemingly bothered at all “Well if she’s as bad as you say I’m not surprised. I doubt she has much luck finding men on her own and you’re quite handsome so..." She shrugged glancing down beginning to draw in the dirt with the stick she still held.

He smirked a bit and felt shy as she complemented him "It...It's what I was made for" he told her. Finally enough time had passed for him to feel up to moving without wheezing and he got up and looked to her “You sure about this then?" He double checked with her.

She nodded again in understanding having met several changelings made for similar reason. She glanced at him as he got to his feet and nodded “Yeah... I'm sure" She got up and dusted off her clothes "I wouldn't be a very good person if I walked away from this would I?" She picked up her cloak a pretty dark blue thing dusted with shimmering lights like stars and draped it over her shoulders

He felt a pull and his hand moved without his bidding to brush her cheek again as he smiled, so beautiful, The though came to his mind yet he had no clue where from. But it was gone as quickly as it came. He quickly pulled his hand away from her "I... I'm sorry, I really don't know what's gotten into me today" he says.

She blinked but stood still letting him touch her and smiled. The smile growing as He apologized and shook her head, her blue curls swinging gently “it's okay. It doesn’t bother me, fae are very touchy feely creatures so its pretty common for me" She shrugged “Let’s go deal with your witch" She smirked gesturing for him to lead the way

He nods and moves off into the woods leading the way. The fact they are walking making it take longer then it should. But after awhile they finally come to the edge of the clearing where the cottage was. Even from this distance Vivi could feel the pulsating magic barrier around the cabin.

She followed him through the woods glancing around casually trying to remember the way. "This would be so much easier if we flew but I didn’t want to give us away" She sighed turning as she felt the barrier the closer they got, the thing making her skin crawl as she rubbed her arms

He looked to her “Right, I will fight her if you get the bracelet. I can't touch the thing or I burn up. Also you will need to stroke the bracelet, it’s what keeps the magic concealed in it at bay. If you stop, again I'll burn up.” He explained quickly

Vivi listened to him and nodded glancing to the house “Right... Are you sure you can fight her on your own?" She glanced at the cabin again "I'll help if you need me to"

He sighed "well I guess we will fined out won't we" He said sounding a bit afraid himself. Yet he stood now and began walking forward through the barrier. To him it was like nothing, because he was suppose to be here. But to Vivi it would have a sickeningly sweet smell to it and an oppressing pressure that would weigh on her as she walked forward.

She watched him walk through then put her hand out testing it frowning at the pressure before stepping through having to push till she reached the other side and covered her mouth to keep from gagging, glancing at the barrier warily “Ugh…That’s awful" She shook her head whispering

He tilted his head, not having felt the same thing she had. "We must be quite or the witch will know we are here" He said. But for that it was already too late, The magic had done it's work and let the woman know of their arrival.

She nodded and fell into step behind him walking to the house using his larger frame to hide her a bit

He moved into the cottage, a dry old voice greeting him "Back so soon boy and with a gift for your master, bring it here" She said making a motion with the bracelet in her hand that jerked him further into the room.

Vivi jumped slightly hearing the witch, but kept quiet as the woman dragged Lorne closer. There wasn't much she could do about it since she'd been found out ,so she stayed in place to keep away from her for now

She frowned looking to the shackles and glanced away looking at the ground "I didn’t want to presume..you never know right?" She shrugged, her gaze partially hidden by her hair till Lorne brushed her cheek making her look up angry tears rimming her violet eyes and her hands clenched tightly into fists "I..." She sighed, her shoulders slumping a bit as she shook her head muttering “That’s not fair"

He gave a half smile, though his own eyes where hallow from the years of torment “This is true" he said, then seeing her cry he felt his hart ache. - What’s wrong with me I'm not supposed to have felling like this for anyone but that bloody witch. What's going on? - He thought to himself. He wiped the tears form her face pulling the woman into a hug even if it made his chest burn with pain and caused him to wheeze more loudly "Life often isn't fair " he said between sharp intakes of breath trying to comfort her.

She let him wipe her tears and hug her feeling oddly relaxed around him even if he was a demon nodding against his shoulder as she lifted her hands to hug him back feeling bad for him. Her hands feeling the sticky wetness of drying blood on his back which made her gasp and pull away from him, turning him so she could see the damage that was done to him “What did that piece of shit do to you..." she shook her head more angry than ever looking at Lorne “This is awful" Past memories of her own mistress and her cruel ways filling her head

He frowned, pulling away from her as she found out about his exteriors wound but soon fell to his knees. His head swimming at not being able to breath right “Broke a few ribs, whipped my back. The usual " He manages the pain showing on his face as he clutched at his chest

She dropped to a knee to catch his shoulder “The usual? That’s bullshit..." she was shaking her head “You’re not going back, I wont let you"

He looked up to her from where he was "I don't have a choice. If I don't go back she will continue to hurt me even from afar. There is a gold bracelet she wares that holds me to her and doesn’t let me go too far or resist her call for too long. It's why I had to go earlier the pain was getting too much" He says, moving to lay down now in an attempt to ease the pain in his chest

She frowned watching him “Can we take the bracelet? " She sat down near him looking puzzled

He lay still, wings wrapped about him like a feathery cocoon "I can not, another could but it would mean having to fight the old hag" he said wheezing

She chewed her lip thoughtfully, sitting a bit before glancing at him "I'll do it" She was quiet but loud enough to be heard wondering what he'd say

He blinked in disbelief, a part of him in that moment wanting to kiss her “But...I mean are you sure? That would bond me to you and you would have to put up with me always being around. Are you sure you want that?" He asked her

She nodded looking at him “If it means you wont get hurt anymore...I know it isn’t the best option since you’re still stuck with me but I suppose it’s better than nothing right?" She shrugged “At least for now…Then we can see if we can get rid of the bond all together for you....so you can be really free" She smiled

He smiled and nodded “All right, just give me some time to heal before we go facing her. We can head back just before night fall" He said to her, relaxing and closing his eyes even though he remained awake "So Vivi why is it you want to help someone you just met so much?" He asked

She nodded and sat back on her palms relaxing slightly as she listened to him tilting her head slightly “Because I used to be a slave too… I wouldn't wish it on anyone"

He sighed "A beautiful fairy like you was a slave? He says with disbelief in his voice. Blushing as he even says it, not that it can be seen with his dark skin

She smirked and nodded “Most changelings start off that way....we’re made to serve our masters however they like...even if they prefer us as furniture, hunting dogs or lovers" She shrugged "I can’t complain considering its made me how I am but... I wouldn't go back for the world..." She sighed shaking her head slightly

He listened to what she had to say, the day seeming to be crawling by. But he didn't mind so much, he somehow felt he was right where he belonged and even found himself staring at the woman. Once more he had to think, What's going on with me? Not sure why he was drawn to this woman in a way he had never been to others while under the witches rule.

She picked up a stick poking at the fire they had made lifting it out and looking at the smouldering end a moment before sighing "so where is this mistress of yours?" She glanced at the man

He motioned with his head “She lives that way in a cabin.” He tells her, slowly feeling better as he healed himself.

She glanced in that direction, staring for a moment as if thinking “And there's no way she could just.....let you go?" She blinked turning back to Lorne

He gave a dry laugh "she could but she won't, She enjoys.. well" he coughed a bit uncomfortable “She enjoys my company at night" He said, finally finding more appropriate words

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 2 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

She froze with her hands in her hair pulling out twigs looking puzzled "why would I hurt you? I would think running into you was bad enough. " She blinked still looking confused, demons usually didn't seem so....innocent. she stood up and smiled "I'm Vivi by the way"

He blinked lowering his arm, grunting as he feels the pain in his shackles increase when the witch gets more impatient for his return . He wanted to go and leave right then and there but something held him in his place. It made him want to draw closer to this woman he had only just met "I don't know just seems to be what people do when they see me. They run, they scream and then try to do away with me" He told her looking to the forest floor "I'm Lorn" he tells her in a nervous voice

She frowned listening to him and placed a hand on her hip cocking it out. “Why would they do that? You don't seem the type to cause trouble" The fairy was so used to creatures of all types she really didn't seem to grasp right away that people might want to hurt him simply because he looked scary.

He went to rub the back of his neck between the metal of the collar where it had gotten soar and raw from the chaffing. As it turned out even magical shackles could cause discomfort for the skin. "Because I look like a demon and they think I'm going to do them harm" He said shyly

She shook her head “That's not fair...you didn't actually hurt anyone" she sighed knowing it wouldn't matter, people liked to assume and think what they wanted regardless of if it was true or not. “Well it's nice to meet you Lorne"

He shrugged his shoulders "it's the way it is" he said simply "Um look Vivi I would like to keep talking but I need to go check in. I'll be right back if you'll wait" he says to her not able to ignore the pain from the witches call any longer.

She perked a brow and nodded "....sure" She looked at the demon puzzled but didn’t argue

Lorne would go to collect his things that where not hidden too far from where they were. Spreading large black angelic wings before taking off into the air. Flying at last back to the cabin where the witch was staying. The woman beating him thoroughly upon return for being so tardy

Vivi waited for him to return, wandering idly out of boredom..shooing away another bee and shaking her finger at it like a naughty child. Finally realizing her cloak was still missing and hunting for it. She moved to stand at the base of the tree, now spotting the garment hanging from a limb and groaned "why....why do you have to be a dick tree?"

He would return much later then planed. His wings looking like they had gone through some sort of moulting from the abuse he had suffered. Fresh whip marks were on his back and he was wheezing a bit, from the damage done to his ribs. He tried to keep it all hidden though as he approached the fairy from the shadows barely seen or heard. "I'm back" he wheezed sitting now with his back to a tree so she would not see the blood on his back.e

She jumped slightly having not heard him, turning to face him as he sat down “Geez...you need a bell or something....wow...did you have to go far? You look like hell, if it was that far you didn't have to come back ya know"

Lorne slumped, not looking to vivi "It was only far to walk back and being here is better than being there" he said "Besides I'm done with the master for now, she won't be calling me until nightfall now" He says simply, a beaten down tone to his voice that was combined with wheezing sounds.

She frowned turning to look at him fully, forgetting her cloak for now “What do you mean?" She tilted her head walking closer to him “You have a master?" She bit her lip not wanting to pry “Your not a slave are you?" She was holding her breath without realizing it hoping to be wrong

He pressed closer to the tree wincing as the rough bark cut more at the cuts on his back "Yes I have a master" he tells her, feeling an even stronger tug. The tug was pulling him to go to Vivi and so he stood now and looked at her fully in the eyes "Yes, well not to be rude but I don't ware these out of fashion" he says gesturing to his shackles on wrist, ankles and neck. He moved a hand to brush against Vivi's cheek not too sure why he had done it.

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 1 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

Lorn crouched in the woods behind a bush watching a rabbit hop across the clearing in front of him towards the trap he had set up, his black wings tucked in close behind him. He was so dark that he blended in with the shadows of the forests and wasn't easy to spot. He kept a bag half full of already killed prey next to him. He knew he would have to fill it before returning to the witch that was his master. Already he felt her pull in the gold shackles about his neck wrist and ankles. They looked to have no chains or connection to anything, but this was hardly the case.

Vivi was asleep in a tree nearby. The fae had decided to take a nap that afternoon and was slumbering soundly the trees leaves hiding most of her colourful form, her blue hair fluttering in the breeze gently

Lorn ignored the witched pull, knowing very well that if he should return without the bag full he would be punished greatly. The witch was not one to take even a simple failure kindly, the marks on his flesh from past failing barely visible do to his dark skin. His read hair was tied back in a braid to keep it out of his face. He watched patiently as the rabbit got even closer to the trap, a slight pain going through his body at the witches impatience

Vivi continued to nap undisturbed by the creature hunting nearby. Slumbering soundly for the time being

The trap went of with a clack as the rabbit was caught at last. Lorn moving to collect his prize. He would snap the poor things neck before tossing it in the bag with the others

The screech the rabbit makes when caught is unpleasant to say the least. The poor bunnies cries making vivi wake up and try to sit up with a jerk only to slip off the branch and get wrapped up in her cloak before it caught on another limb sending her hurling down and landing on the ground with a crash. The fae laying in the tall grass winded a moment "ow..." She jumped to her feet and shook her fist at the tree "stupid tree..." She wandered over and kicked its trunk only to end up hopping on one foot clutching a stunned toe and cussing a blue streak

Lorn startled hearing something fall and the voice of a woman cursing. He stashed his bag of rabbits in hiding and drawing his hunting blade moved cautiously and quietly to see what it was. He kept low to the ground as he moved, his twilight skin making for perfect camouflage. He wore nothing but a loin cloth to coved his modesty, allowing for free movement.

Vivi finally stopped hopping and sighed running a hand through her vivid blue hair plucking out a few leaves and dusting herself off. Rolling her eyes as she realizes her sleeve is torn then shrugs still grumbling a bit

He came across the female but kept hidden afraid that she might freak out and react the way others had. Yet he felt a pull and warmth rise inside him he had not felt before. He continued to watch as a bee now stung the fairy woman

Vivi had finally started to calm down when the bee stung her making her yelp and jump in the air before turning and seeing the bee. She begins shooing it with her hands a bit wildly which only made the bee and a few others chase her around the tree looking quite comical "holy fuck...what’s with nature today….I’m on your side...argh..... hey...get...stop!...my hair is NOT a flower!" She squealed and tried to run away and hide in the tall grass

Lorn couldn't help but laugh at the site, thought he tried not to. He cried out as the woman ran right for him and tripped over his form. "Ow" he said his green demonic like eyes looking to Vivi.

She tripped over the demon and went tumbling head over heels finally landing on her back with her feet in the air "ugh... this day is awesome...why did I get up again? " She looked up spotting the man, she was upside down and blinked at him, her violet eyes going wide "oh...shit..." She rolled over grass sticking in her hair and clothes and her hair a wild mess as she sat up “I’m really sorry, I’m really a damn klutz, really I am" She smiled trying to pull the debris from her clothes

He backed away from her fear in his eyes that she might hurt him "I'm sorry.. Please don't hurt me” He says in a voice that doesn't match his looks. it's masculine but sweet and submissive. He holds up his arm flinching away as if expecting a hit to follow, that same odd warmth tugging him to move closer to Vivi even though he shows fear of her.

The Forgotten - END [ Rating = L1,S1,V1 ]

Bella glanced down at Orin as he mumbles and sighed "yes I know but you cant go play right now, maybe later okay?" she glanced at Drac then grimaced as he pulled out one of his own teeth, she ran her tongue instinctively over her own fangs looking a bit sick as he handed the purple stone to Dalton "one of your teeth will keep Orin sane?" she looked at him skeptically. then Glanced at Dalton "maybe we should take him someplace else till you find Manic"

Dalton rolled his eyes when he thought on Manic. "He is.. well he is Manic. He isn't easy to really describe. He has white hair and horns and well he will try to be anyone and everyone." he frowned, making a face as he pulled a tooth from himself and gave it too him looking at it doubtfully. "ok .. we will try but I will not be keeping Orin here.. I will not put my family and town with his presence. I would start at the temple of destruction and see what you can find there as I have no clue where he could be" he admitted.

Orin frowned but nodded "ok mother" he sighed, kicking his legs a bit as he sat in her lap and getting upset when Dalton mentions going away "no! I don't want to leave mother... I want to stay with her." he whimpered ,thinking he was to be taken away from her.

Drac nodded and looked to orin as he pockets the gem for the moment then "Were not leaving for good orin, we just have some more work to do before we can come back. We need to find manic and try to get things straightened out"

Bella nodded in agreement with Dalton "you'll know its him if you find him...he'll hit on you or try and molest you or something" she sighed "if he isn't at the temple maybe they at least know where he is..isn't the demon priestess there is girlfriend or something?" she shrugged then glanced at Orin shaking her head "no were just going someplace else that's all" she glanced at Dalton "you stay with moon while Drac goes to the temple I'll handle Orin" she smiled trying to be reassuring "or I can go with Drac if nothing else Malkin can handle this"

Dalton didn't really like this idea of letting Bella go with Drac an d Orin but perhaps in the end she would be the only one and only thing to help keep him calm. He sighed reluctantly. "yes go with Drac and help him find Manic. I'll stay here and look after the place while you are gone. just... make sure to come back to me ok?" he said to her and moved to live her a kiss, his hair temporarily in Orin's face as he did. He stood up strait and looked to Drac"You keep my wife safe or i promise I will come after you and I don't care if you can turn into a dragons I'm sure our dragon friend would be more than wiling to go against you" he told the man.

Orin continued to listen to them all, becoming quite happy that Bella would be coming with him "oh yay! We get to go on a trip" he cheered, sounding every bit like the seven year old that he looked.

Dracyl nods to them all then looks to dalton "Don't worry, if things get out of hand i'll make sure to get bella away from any threats first"

Bella let Dalton kiss her before she patted Orin and moved him off her lap so she could stand up. "I need to do a few things...why don't you, drac and Dalton take a walk around the garden while I'm away" she smiled ruffling his silver hair and looked at the pair of men "Dalton show him the little play area we made for Moon, he'll like the swing and the fountain.." she moved away from Orin to give Dalton another kiss "I'm going to get some clothes and tuck Moon into bed, I don't want her upset either...I'll explain you two will get to spend the day and have some daddy daughter time tomorrow" she chuckled giving his arm a squeeze and walking towards the door "I'll just be a moment

The Forgotten - Part 11 [ Rating = L1,S1,V1 ]

Bella turned to look at Dalton and nodded "yes I know.." she turned hearing Orins cries turn to laughs almost as she said it and tensed instantly reaching up to grab a wad of the boys silver hair in her hands "sorry but I don't think you'd fancy eating me...I'm far to old..." she frowned looking at the boy sternly as if scolding him for not eating dinner or forgetting to feed the dog. She didn't want to scare Orin but she didn't want her throat ripped out either

Dalton hissed at Orin. Looking to everyone in the room. "perhaps the best thing is not to talk on the past though if you truly wish to perhaps we should talk on it in privet some other time when there isn't a psycho in my wife lap" He said, putting a hand on to Drac's shoulder hoping he would be able to control Orin in ways he could not. "Bella!" he said, getting ready to attack his brother if he should try anything.

Orin continued to laugh even as she grabbed his hair and spoke to him in such a way. "Oh .. but I have so wished to rip out your pretty little throat." came a girls voice from his mouth but as Drac worked his magic his eyes shifted back to his natural blue/green and he calmed blinking at Bella "mother? Don't hold my hair so tight. it hurst" he told her, trying to brush away her hand from his hair.

Drac sighs "that wasn't the other one we know. That means theres more than one in there..." He looks up to dalton "Do you have a forge? i may be able to make something to suppress the others making it a lot easier for orin to keep control"

Bella frowned hearing Julia's voice from Orin and sighed "you didn't last time you wont this time...just leave the boy alone you useless thing" she turned and looked at Dalton as he called out to her and shook her head keeping a firm hold on Orin's hair "I'm fine dear...he isn't as strong as he normally is...he must not be eating much" she waited till Drac finished the spell and Orin came back eventually letting go and smoothing out his hair

"I'm sorry Orin you were about to fall it was a reflex" she smiled to keep him calm and let him lay against her again while she looked at Drac "there's three personalities in poor Orins mind well maybe four considering his normal behaviour...there's how he normally is, Julia which I'm assuming was her now and Snare the more destructive and less intelligent of his personalities, Manic was the other but he has a body of his own now and normally watches over him"

Dalton tighten his grip on Drac's shoulder as Julia's voice came out of his brothers mouth, remembering her voice and cruelness. He only relaxed when it seemed Drac managed to get control over the boy and put him back to normal. "she speaks the truth and each time he comes he comes to see my daughter moon who looks just as Julia once did. But Julia is dead... I was forced to kill her in my youth and it sent us both into madness from which only I was able to escape fully" he sighed and came back around to where Orin and Bella were "we do have a forge but very little can help him. your best bet is to find Manic and perhaps then he can be controlled once more" he frowned, not liking the idea of leaving his brother like this but not knowing what else to do.

Orin lay against her, enjoying the affection and only half listening to them talk, occasionally he would take a drink from one of the flasks of blood Drac had brought along., his eyes flashing red when he drank and his hunger seeming to be just as unending as when he was Snare. He sighed "you're all so boring... I want to go play with Julia" he frowned, seeming to have already forgotten that he had killed her.

Drac nods and sighs "Don't think I've met him yet but I'm sure if i head to the temple i can find a clue" He reaches up and pulls one of his teeth out. It regrows rapidly and the tooth changes to become a small amethyst. He does reveal the half formed fangs in his mouth doing this though. He hands the crystal to dalton "That should help suppress the others in him until we can find Manic"

The Forgotten - Part 10 [ Rating = L1,S1,V1 ]

Orin frowned when he saw the look on Bella's face but then smiled and finally broke down into teas when she scooped him up to hug him. the boy hugging her back tightly as if he was afraid to let go and lose her again "no... I don't .. I just remember my family and a fire...I was scared... so scared I wold never find you all but what.. what are you doing in this place in the castle of that foul beast the count?" he asked her.

Dracyl nods to him "Im Dracyl. Son of both the McArther and Oinari families and leader of the city of gaius. I met orin a while ago and though our meeting wasn't friendly it didn't end badly. I made a few other friends because of it and so i gave him the benefit of the doubt"

Bella held Orin while Dalton and Drac talked letting the boy cry and calm down a bit. "I'm sorry you don't remember, maybe that's for the best....We live hear because the count is dead...We've done all we can for the vampires he made and made this a good place to live again. If we can sort all this out I'll show you" she smiled slightly leaning back enough to look at Orin still adjusting to him and trying to remind herself he was just a child like any other she might speak too for the moment. "maybe Dalton can help you fill in some of the blanks too" she glanced over her shoulder at her husband then back to Orin knowing it must be odd to see his twin so much older.

Dalton nodded to Drac "I'm dalton the Lord of this land and this is Isabella the lady of the lands. I took over rule here from the Count and well Orin here is my twin brother.. or at least he was... We were both abducted by the count and turned at a young age but Orin.. he got the worse end of the deal as the only memories he has as the ones given to him by me through some twisted magic. you see my mater was hoping he would be my replacement should I ever get killed or go missing and so he did his best to make sure everything about us was the same including our memories. " he frowned and sighed,, wondering if it was really a good idea to reveal so much to someone he didn't know.

Orin calmed after awhile, still holding her wincing ever now and then "you're... you're not my brother.. my brother is the same age as me." he said and looked up to Bella. "where is Julia mouther? I miss my sister.. is father ok?" he asked and then screamed at a memory that came flashing to the front "No! please... don't make me kill her" he begged now rocking back and forth in Bella's lap and whimpering.

Dracyl looks to orin and sighs "I could help him regain his memories but i fear if i push too hard it might make the other able to grab hold of his mind fully..." He shakes his head and looks to dalton "I can only do so much after all"

Bella frowned at a loss of what to say to Orin before he remembered on his own. She simply held him closer and rocked him once he started to rock himself cooing and shushing him quietly "its over...it happened a long time ago Orin...everything is fine now remember....the count is gone...he cant hurt you or Dalton or anyone else anymore"

Dalton frowned and shook his head "you really want to see his memories? because they are no different then mine just I know the truth and he does not." he said getting up and moving around the table to the side of the table drac was on. He looked to Orin as he screamed, his own eyes going red "Bella... be careful he could snap at any minute" he warned as he watched them both now and couldn't help but give a sad smile at how she was treating him and knowing when would be upset when she had to let him go.

Orin let himself be comforted but soon the wailing cries turned into a wicked sort of laugh. It was like Drac said remembering things was not a good thing, not in Orin's case as it gave the others a foothold into his head once more. His eyes flickered blue a Julia tried to take advantage of the break down.

Drac looks to orin his own eyes shifting blue "No, your not ready to come out yet, this is Orin's time. Stay locked in there for now or else" He was stern, not knowing Julia but figured anything else in Orin's mind was not needed right now
