RPG Hunters: Dark Blood (M)

Alender approached Rebecca cautiously, rubbing his great head against Rebecca's leg. Rebecca turned her gently in his direction, reaching down to touch his soft white coat. The great white tiger poured gently as Rebecca held the girl close to her. The words that the girl had utter running wild through her head. Rebecca took one more look at her companion before pulling herself into the sky. Alender kept his pace below the half demon as they made their way back to the mansion.

Holding the girl tightly to her chest, she could feel the overwhelming rush of negative energy that shot from city below. Rebecca shivered involinetary as did Alender.

(Something is coming...) Alender's sweet voice echoed through Rebecca's mind.

"Something powerful," Rebecca replied.

Alender and Rebecca arrived at the mansion, hunters running around like crazy. Rebecca held tightly to the girl in her arms, her rather limp structure was light and easy to manover. Alender stayed close to Rebecca's side as she made her way through the crazied mansion towards Night's office. As she approached the large doors, a very strangely dressed Phoenix rushed from the room. He swarmed past her with a great edge of greatness about him. Rebecca watched him for a moment, his sparkling whiteness as he strolled powerfully by her.

(He has changed.) Alender spoke softly.

"How could you tell?" Rebecca said with heavy sacrasm.

"Rebecca," Rebecca heard her name called and saw Selino standing next to Night.

"Hello Selino, what has happened to Lord Night?" Rebecca replied, making her way into the room shutting the door once Alender was in the room.

"A battle with the demon known as Cold."

"Ah, and Phoenix?" Rebecca stood a few feet from the large desk noticing that Night had recongized the child but couldn't say anything about it until she and Selino were finished.

"Boru nearly killed him. He talks of a Lady in White that brought him back."

"Lady in White?"

"I have never heard of such a creature or thing, but Phoenix believes it firmly."

"Most be a human thing," Rebecca shrugged. She tilted her head to watch Alender sit by her feet.

"Who is the child?" Selino finally asked.

"This is the girl that the Queen of Hearts had taken." Rebecca answered, holding the girl up so that both Night and Selino could see her.

Selino walked forward and approached Rebecca as he always had. He reached out to talk the child, but Rebecca pulled the girl from him. He gave a quizical look as Rebecca crassed the child.

"I will keep her with me." Rebecca said in a low voice, sounding very close to a growl.

Selino looked over to Night and the Hunter nodded his head. "Alright, Lady Rebecca. You shall watch the child then."

(You have taken quite a responiblilty to this girl.) Alender stated as Rebecca and he left Night's office.

"I know of the demon summoning in the slums, Alender. I trust this girl with no one except myself and the Queen of Hearts. All the others are far too busy with this new war to worry about one small child." Rebecca pulled the girl back from her chest and looked into her cloud-covered eyes. *No one shall ever harm you.* Rebecca spoke gently to herself.

OOC: can't wait for the next chapter!!

Night tapped the desk impatiently. He was frustrated at the brace. It was pissing him off to no end. He couldnt speak, he couldnt even get attention to ask for something. Selino finished with the bandages. Shiro nudged his masters arm, still bandaged around the ribs.
"There you go. You'll be good as new in around seven hours."
"Mmm! Mhmmm!"
"Sorry? Couldnt quite get that."
Night glared at the servant. He tuned out the world and began to fill out papers on his desk. In his current state, it was all he was good at.

Boru smiled at Ziarre. He waved the demons aside, and helped her stand. There was a murmur among the gathering demons. The malacha'ai raised his claw to silence them.
"Silence. She is no enemy. She is a half breed from the hunters."
Cries of outrage came from the gathering, and one demon leapt onto the raised platform.
"I refuse to ally myself of one with such foul blood! I'll kill her here and now!"
Boru smiled as the demon charged. He placed a claw on Ziarre's back. She felt warmth seep through her body. Her eyes took on a red tinge and she felt...strength. Like never before. She felt the very soul of fire touch hers and embrace her in its warmth.
"Kill him Ziarre. Kill him and prove your strength!"
With a whirl of her hands, a jet of fire shot out. But before it hit, it raveled around the demon's throat, changing into a fiery saw. It sliced through, before snaking back to her gracefully, almost looking like liquid. It took the form of a giant lizard, and nuzzled her neck before dissapearing. The corpse fell to the ground, twitching. Boru turned to the gathering.
"She is the very essence of fire! That which gives us demons our birthright. We will kill all who oppose! We will conquer! We will rule this world once again!"
The mass erupted into cheers and yells. Boru turned to Ziarre.
"And you...will lead the charge to the mansion. You will destroy those who used you. You will be my greatest warrior, Ziarre. The soul of fire."
