Fighting Academy by Fire of Hearts (Closed)

(If Flower wasn't busy She'd give mel some back up. If you want I could get James back into the role play. Since Jobox seems not to want to role play myra anymore...I have to talk to her about that later.)
 
(I guess anyone can come along but the fight between Jinn and Riff has to one on one. It's so he can lose and I can have Mel be a jerk about it.)
 
Still grinning, Faith nodded happily in response to Macal's description, taking his arm and impulsively moving it to swing her out in a dancing twirl before reeling herself back in, partly leaned against him. She smiled up at him again before glancing at Raina, addressing her.


"Yeah, like he said, make sure you don't touch it, because believe me, it would suck for you. I've been there, and it will literally make you crazy. You aren't exactly a bucketful of super sanity yourself sometimes, so watch it."


But the words are said with a smile, no real hostility towards her, and she looks up at Macal again, practically bouncing on her toes in a Liza-like manner with anticipation.


"I have got to be around for this...or at least soon after it. You think she'll talk to herself? You think she'll start biting thin air...hey, you think she'll CRY? Damn I hope she cries!"

Liza attaches herself to Lil's arm, smiling as she looks up at her. "Don't you think I can, Lil? I do. Plus also I think I can make that bad girl my friend. I saw her and she was mean to me, but I think I can make her nice. Do you know where she is?"
 
(um... a few quick questions, what time period does this RP take place in and what country is the academy in? Also, how much land does the Key Holders own? )


What she just said confirmed it: Ginger had been following the drone, which really wasn`t a big deal, however the fact that this was the first time she had seen one struck Mar as odd, it would be very commonplace to see one or two drones a day in the area he was from. The boy opened out his palm horizontal to the ground so it could serve as an impromptu landing pad before having some of his nano machines cluster together in a small visible cloud of silver-grey at one point slightly above his outstretched palm as they procured atoms from the walls, ceiling, and floor to construct another drone that was identical to the one he used to find Ginger particle by particle, after about 14 seconds the process was finished and the cloud of nano machines Mar had employed returned to their normal dispersed position that wasn't visible to the unaided eye. The boy held out the finished drone to Ginger ; "did it look like this?" he inquired.


---


Hal barely stifled a snicker when Sara launched Nick into a wall and had nodded and said the occasional "I see" throughout Nick`s explanation of the blood coffin ability, being stabbed to death inside of a coffin... wasn`t a very ideal way to die; Hal was about to affirm that Reaper and this denizen of the blood coffin had a few things in common but the information about the king of Key Holders being resurrected had just hit him “wait, old king Moons back and your related to him?!?!” A look of urgency came across the Key Holders face, Reaper was bound to Hal by a very specific contract that compelled the entity to hunt down any enemy of the Lionheart family, this compulsion was so strong in fact that Reaper could actually sense such people from a certain distance.


Any warning that Hal was about to give Sara would be to late as Reaper could be observed coming around the corner with Hal`s scythe held in both bony hands at waist level, making the floating entity which had left a little before Macal had elaborated on his anti-Eve plan look like hockey player going in for a slap shot. That was likely take out Sara`s legs if it connected.


 
*Macal smiled at his wife* You're enjoying this way way more then I expected you to in fact I was thinking you'd be pissed that we're postponing our trip. But I'm kind of looking forward to this too but I'm more interested in freeing my daughter from that vampire's control without me having to take her head and scarring Sheena for life. If it can be helped I rather her come to the realization of Eve's true self on her own, well maybe we a tiny bit of intervention by us but mostly on her own.


*Alex's jet touches down back at the base and after a quick shower he grabs his motorcycle and starts the track back to the Academy, he's in a rush back to see if he can stop Raina from using the video and breaking Sheena's heart, he realizes that he was a bit of a coward considering he always says he'll do anything to protect her but he's sure taking the coward's way out of dealing with the situation.*
 
(present/not too distant future. Country is undetermined...not too sure. Fantasy country. and as for land...?)


"Hey, we can go on a trip whenever we want...and Evangeline suffering is vacation enough," Faith continues to relish the thought, tossing her hair back behind her shoulder. "And yeah...Sheena needs to know. Like, today. I'm guessing it won't be that fast, but...we can't let this go on, and I don't want her having anyone but Evil Eve to blame."


She pauses, her enjoyment fading as she thinks about what this will mean for Sheena, even if she herself will get some glee out of watching what it will mean for Evangeline. Whether Sheena finds out on her own or by others telling her, she will be very much upset...how can she avoid being scarred by this? Losing her baby sister yet again, discovering her to be the monster Sheena had once so struggled against being or fearing she was herself...how could she escape that unscathed?


Faith sobers then as she looks at Macal, not saying aloud what she is now thinking, but it is fairly clear on her face. She thinks to herself then that regardless of how Sheena takes it or what she does, she will be there for her to try to pick up the pieces. Faith more than anyone knows what it is to lose a sister...to be forced to kill a sister.
 
*Mac can imagine what Faith is thinking cause he's thinking the same.* If I was at my full power I'd just erase the little brat from Sheena's timeline and make it like she never existed, saving her all the pain that is eventually gonna come her way. Raina I'm gonna have to ask you please if you care for Liza as much as you say you do, don't use this to hurt her sister and after this is over if you wish to celebrate please spare Sheena from seeing it. It's taken us a year to get her where she is I want to prevent as much of her slipping back as I can..Faith unlike it was with Rika this has to be slow and subtle I want to break Eve, not Sheena. *He's right when he did this to Rika he was like a bull in a china shop, Rika was isolated she had no one to watch her downfall except for him and the agents on the taskforce, Eve will have Sheena watching her fall apart this has to happen in a way that won't spread to Sheena...How is the question.*
 
Sara jumped up and then landed behind Hal. "Yeah so what?" She said and then looked at Reaper. "Whoah chill out." She said and then smiled. "Sorry I don't plan on leaving my younger sister alone for a while. Geez." She said and then smiled. "This must be your friend Hal." She said and then chuckled. "Why you so freaked about my old man?" She asked keeping her eye on Reaper. She looked back at Hal. "And I don't sense feelings all the time and they have to be pretty strong to get my attention or if I'm looking into someone which i don't so often....so stop being so freaked out by me."


Ginger looks at it and then smiled. "WOW!" She jumped up and down. "That was cool!" She said and then stopped and blushed. "I've never been out much." She said and then looks at him with a smile. She tilts her head. 'Your amazing....I can't do anything." She said and then looked down. She sighed, she was a normal human. She looked back up at him.


(Mythcal country, land....the key holders own most of the northern lands, vampire's south, werewolves west forests and others either islands or eastern lands. Dragons live in the mountains.)
 
Jace grinned as Ben mentioned Flower's old crush on him again, and felt his own cheeks heat slightly, he quickly looked away before Flower could notice, though Ben probably would have seen it he simply shrugged at Ben's request.


"Uh yeah, I don't mind. But like Flower said, I'm pretty sure Sethos will come out. And he won't be happy either. He's currently swearing at me a hundred times per minute." He winced lightly and smacked his head, "It's really annoying, like my own personal commentary, but an extremely violent one."


He stepped back, nodding at Flower, "Uh, ready when you are I guess?" The only issue is, Jace wasn't the fighter, Sethos was. And he was sure that would show for something.


-----------------------------


Raina rolls her eyes at both of them, but she doesn't openly protest, nor does she push them away and run off to Sheena, but instead chucks Macal her phone as requests, sighing, "You two are SUCH party poopers." She flicks her hair behind her shoulder and when Macal speaks of Halloween she frowns and tilts her head, "Halloween?" She is genuinely confused, and sounds it, before realization lits her eyes and she speaks like they are boring, "Oh yeah right, Halloween. Isn't that for kids? Haven't celebrated it in 7 years." This is true. But not because Raina thought it was for kids. She hadn't celebrated Christmas in seven years either. Or Easter, or any holiday. With her dad, she wasn't allowed to even mention it without getting a smack to the head. What do yer need Christmas for? Ain't ya' got enough stuff already? She looked down and pretened to inspect her nails, pretends to ignore them as they speak to eachother about some girl called Rika.


Then her name is spoken and she raises an eyebrow at Macal, crossing her arms, "I'm not young! I'm almost 18!" She knows this is a lost battle before she even starts, but what the heck, she needed something to gripe about. She rolls her eyes at Faith's comment about not being sane, "Who wants to be sane? That's just boring." She comments, leaning against the wall now, she does grin lightly at Faith's excitement though about the girl crying and comments breezily, "Sheesh Faith, could you be any more of a sadist?"


Raina has to admit though, she wants the bit*h to cry too.


She then senses something, something that sends a chill up her spine, and as she glances to the door, to see what it is, she spots a figure in the hallway, not near the door, quite far away, but still close enough to see. And she pales, she pales so damn much that she looks like she's just seen a ghost. Her eyes widen unintentionally and she feels her heart, she can HEAR her heart beginning to thud so fast it sounds like a humming. No. No. NO. Her chest is rising rapidly with her fast breathing now, and as she stares at the smug face down the hallway, the flaming red hair, the pure black eyes, the smirk that set fear deep into Raina's heart. As she stares at Kol, her Father, her DEAD Father.


Her legs wobble. She has forgotten Faith, forgotten Macal, and all she can see is Kol Sharpe. The man she feared even more than Jace Kalhorn. More than anyone she had ever met. He winks at Raina before turning and walking off, and though her fear is consuming her, her wide eyes full of it, her hands shaking, she mutters, "No." And the word is not rebellious in any way, nor it is angry, or casual. It's scared. So scared.


She needs to go after him. She needs to kill him, even if he is already dead. But she can't. She suddenly remembers the couple, the happy, joking couple infront of her, and she looks to them with trapped eyes. She closes her eyes then, knowing she looks so weak right now, and she runs her hands through her head. "Sorry. I have to put the Eve issue on hold." She opens her eyes then, glancing back to the door to avoid their gazes. "Seems daddy's back. Even though his stupid ass is SUPPOSED to be dead." Her fear is still there as she looks to them, but she is trying desperately to replace it with anger, "Isn't the whole point of death is that people are supposed to STAY dead?" She growls this, but her voice betrays her and shakes a bit. "When people get sent to hell aren't they supposed to stay there?!?" She shakes her head, "Maybe he's just a ghost. Sure as heck didn't look like one..."


She then moves to the door, her back to them, and calls back with a shaky voice, her hands wobbling though she tries to sound tough, "Keep an extra close eye on Liza please." She looks back to them with troubled eyes, "If my dad is back from the dead. He's going to try his very best to kill anyone who I like, and Liza falls into that category." Then she speeds off, heading to the training room.


(Sorry to dump that on you two xD Thought I should get the Raina and Kol storyline going. Oh, Macal and Faith might have sensed Kol too, since he actually emits this creepy, evil feeling. Oh, and could either Macal or Faith, preferably both, follow Raina pleaseeeeee? She's gonna have a confrontation with her dad in the training room, and it won't be particularly nice. She might just need saving..)
 
(feel free to pin Eve with that thingy any time so I can see dead people! lol)


"I know, I know...but cracking the little b*itch into splinters would be so much more fun," Faith says to Macal with a sigh, not only because she regrets the method of torture for Evangeline, but also because she is still thinking about how deeply Sheena will hurt from the inevitable results. Her little sister has grown so much over the past year, become so much more strong and happy and capable than she was...how far would this set her back? How long would she grieve Evangeline and what she had never truly been?


"Yeah, Halloween...aka ghouls, gore, and ghosts?" Faith raised an eyebrow at Raina as she girl sounded clueless in response to the word. "You'll know soon enough, because Liza will basically give you marching orders to take her trick or treating. Better prep yourself for that one. Oh, and Liza's birthday is October 30, but I'm sure she'll inform you soon enough. And yeah, she's gonna be five...again. For the third year in a row."


She snorts in response to Raina's comment about eighteen being "not young," rolling her eyes and crossing her arms back at her. "That's how old Sheena is and I still call her my BABY sister. What's that make you?"


When Raina pales, Faith frowns at her, not understanding what could have provoked that reaction from their present, rather light discussion. The girl is shaking, ashen, and breathing so fast that she looks on the verge of passing out...this from a vampire, who shouldn't have to breathe at all. Faith doesn't understand it, and then she feels it, almost as a delayed reaction...a strong, oppressive evil presence. By the time she turns, she sees nothing, but she can still feel it lingering and knows Raina must have either seen or felt it too.


"Raina," she starts, but Raina, not listening, cuts her off. Hearing her speaking about her father, hearing the fear and emotion in Raina's tone, Faith's concern grows. If her father is dead, yet back, what does that make him- a vampire? A ghost? How the hell had he gotten through? HE wasn't a student...was this place not protected in any way? How could she ever expect her daughter, her sister, her students to be safe in this place? Why was SHE not doing a better job of making sure they were?


So much for a f*cking vacation, she thought to herself as she spoke to Macal.


"I'll go after her. You check on the girls, the other kids...see about this guy?"


she followed Raina down the hallway, easily overtaking her and blocking her path. She didn't touch her, but she kept her voice soft, not uncompassionate as she addressed her.


"Raina...help me out here. If your dad's back and he's a threat, I want to know what you think is going on so I can know what to do."
 
Raina is trying to keep it together as she walks, she is trying to stop that annoying blurry vision thing that happens when your stupid eyes decide they want to cry, and she is trying to not crumble to the ground as it feels like the air around her is getting tighter and tighter.


Then Faith has to go and ruin it.


Raina is forced to stop adruptly as the woman cuts her off, and as she blinks at her there is a thin layer of liquid coating her eyes, the early signs of crying, and when Raina hears Faith's words an anger spikes in her. An anger fueled by fear. "I don't know! Okay Faith? He's supposed to be dead!" They have barely started the conversation and yet Raina's voice is already raised as she throws her hands down in exasperation. "I don't know how he's still alive, but if he is, then he's here for two very simple reasons. The first is probably to visit Myra again, since he raped her a few years ago and failed at doing it a few months ago when he was KILLED" She emphasizes the fact he is supposed to be deep in the ground by now, and then pauses, swallowing back a sob that won't let escape her lips. "And to kill anybody and everybody I've so much as spoken to." Another pause. "That includes Liza."


She shrugged, but as an involuntary action her hand reaches up and wipes her eye where a bit of liquid managed to escape, "And then he'll probably take me away to some far place and...." She can't say it, so she stops, then moves past Faith as quickly as she can, "Just look after Liza and you have nothing to worry about okay?" Her voice breaks on the last few words, as though she is about to cry.


She walks into the training room and shuts the door in an oddly soft manner behind her. She heads to the punching bag and does a flying kick at it, so fiercely that the punching is blown off the hinges with just that kick and smashes against the wall with a crash.


"That's my girl." Raina's body freezes up as she feels the hot breath on her neck, and she can feel the weight of Kol's hands on her shoulder, he chuckles and a shiver runs down Raina's spine as she swallows the bile that has risen to her throat. Spinning around she puts a knife to the man's throat. Only to see no-one there. Her eyes widen and she mutters, "Must be going insane." She turns around and Kol chuckles, "Ya' certainly are Raina. Seeing a dead man ain't exactly normal now is it babe?" Raina steps back, fear in her eyes but a determined tone, "Don't call me babe." "But that's what ya' are Raina, you're my baby ain't ya'?" She shook her head, stepping back but then Kol was gone, behind her now, and she spun around just as the man pulled her into a tight hug, her arms restrained to her sides as Kol spoke in a low dangerous tone, and Raina could feel his hands moving behind her, like he was signalling something. "I'm very disappointed in ya' Raina, you're much too soft now, and ya' let me die." Then Raina knew what he had been doing behind her back, for the sharp point of a blade was at her back, most likely a dagger or large knife, and she sucked in a breath.


She knew what was coming. But it still didn't stop the scream that left her lips when Kol stabbed the knife into the girl's back and then slowly, very slowly, dragged it down, making a deep gash down her back as the back of her top turned crimson. He had purposely avoided hitting anything serious. It was just to cause her pain and he whispered as he dragged it down, "That's the first of many Raina. Once I've done it a 'undred times THEN you'll know the pain I was in when I died." Raina managed to gasp out, "Good. I'm glad it hurt you sick monster." He pushed harder on the blade and she gasped out in pain. "With that scream you just let out, someone will be 'ere soon. Seeya later Raina. Maybe I'll pop in and say 'ello when you're having a shower." Kol snickered at his own joke before he pushed his lips onto Raina's forcefully, she struggled violently, immense pain coming from her back where the blood was still flowing.


(Yeah. Kol's not nice. At all. He's a better demon than Sethos and Kol's not even a demon.)
 
Flower looks at him and then smiles. "Well then beating me up will calm him down right?" She said and then looked at him. She smiled at him and then looked at the castle. "Listen if he comes out...I won't fight unless he plans on wounding me to much....I'll block." She looked back at Jace. "Sound good to you Sethos or is it to boring. What ever you'd like." She said and then started walking. "Before he comes out...maybe I'll train you some Jace." She said crossing her arms. She glanced at Ben who's smile was the kind that said. 'I know something.' She raised an eyebrow at him but he just waved her away. She shruged and then continued walking.
 
Kesson was quite pleased that Zelda seemed to take it all so well. Of course she didn't know anything of his past, but he was fine with keeping it that way for now. Maybe later. Maybe if they didn't get any more closer. If Kesson let that happened and she found out. He worried what might happen. He liked Zelda and she was a good friend.


"Hey! Not fair!" Kesson laughed, letting this thoughts return to the fun that he was having at the moment. He chased after her, trying to get ahead.


----


Jinn was surprised by someone calling out to her. The assassin paused for a moment and then yanked Hayley forward, wrapping an arm around her waist and neck, pressing her back to Jinn's front.


"Oh and why should I do as you say? I'm sure it's not because you're a friend of Hayley's. In fact didn't I see you earlier? I didn't think you'd care." Jinn gave a smug smile. Whatever happened, she would have Hayley one way or another. The girl herself trembled in Jinn's arms. She was scared. Worried about what might happen to her. Yet someone had heard her cries and came to help her. She had to hope that they would be successful.
 
Zelda looks at him and then flew fast. She looked back at him and then glared. "Catch up...or is that weight getting to you?" She said and then flew down and then flew near the ground. "You know Kesson there are some things that can easily make a dragon faster..." She said and then blew fire into her claws and then fire blasted out of her claws like jets and she sped up. She was much more serious then she would be for a simple race.
 
Mel pushed a lock of black hair over her shoulder. She should really tie it up. Or maybe she should cut it. It was getting long. It took a few seconds before she was aware that Jinn was talking back. "I suppose you don't have to do as I say. After all, I have no authority or power over you. That girl isn't a friend or even an acquaintance. I barely see her as a blip on my radar. And I don't particularly care what really happens to either of you after this encounter is finished. You may all explode for all I care. But something about your face and your ways ticks me off so it appears I have intervened out of subconscious will. Now I refuse to repeat myself but it would be a much wiser choice to simply let her go."


Mel wasn't smiling and she didn't have anything on her face that let on any bit of emotion. But everything about her pose and aura seemed arrogant. "Perhaps you have, but I don't remember seeing your face. I rarely have the energy to remember anyone not worth my time."


She now turned to Hailey who was still bound by the assassin. "And you. You're a shapeshifter, are you not? Can't you just change into something that would help you escape? An insect, bird or something? Instead you simply wait there to be rescued? You're such a weakling you couldn't even try to save yourself? You desperately need to be here."
 
"I can't." Hayley looked away ashamed. She knew that she was weak. Everything that Mel said to her was true. "I can't change into anything not humanoid." She could only imagine Mel's response to that. But she knew whatever it was, it would be the truth. She was pathetic. Weak, useless. A failure. She couldn't even control her power properly, although she was happy it wasn't flickering on her.


Jinn scoffed at Mel's comment and then let Hayley go. Hayley stumbled forward, but she did not move. She didn't believe that Jinn was simply going to let her go. She waited to see what would happen.


"Cocky words for someone who doesn't even know me, let alone knows what I am capable of. I'm quite sure I could kick your little precious ass Princess, but I don't think it'd be worth my time at all. I don't deal with people like you. You are simply just another faceless mark to me. But if you are willing I'd gladly show you that I am not some simple student here. Unless you're too scared to face me. All talk and no bite."


----


Kesson laughed again. "That might be it!" He wasn't taking the race as seriously as she was, but he was certainly going to try and outbeat her. He followed as she did and zipped by her, dipping low to the ground as well and rushing over it before shooting back up into the sky.


"But the race isn't over yet!"
 
Zelda looks at him and then sighed. She followed him and flew under him. "You know Kesson....I've made one big mistake once...and I found...I couldn't fly." she said and then swooped her wing up striking him in the stomach. It wouldn't hurt him. She sighed. "Do you even know what I'm getting at you stupid dummy." She said and then looks at him pulling ahead again. She sighed. "Let me put it blunty....the past holds you down...when that happens. You die quickly." she said.
 
Mel looked at Hailey. "A lack of skill, huh? Well that is not the same as weakness. But if you continue to stay on the ground like a cockroach then you might as well be weak." As Jinn challenged her, a smirk crossed Mel's lips and she began chuckling. She stepped forward, glaring at Jinn though hidden by her mask. "Woman, I fear no one." She didn't. She was the Princess of Lucifer. Of course she was only human but she was stronger than what her blood let on. Too many had made the mistake of underestimating her. That stupid angel was a prime example of that. The scent of fresh blood would probably bring her something to enjoy at this dull school.


But just as she was about to demonstrate what she was capable of, Riff placed himself in front of her. "Out of the way, Riff. This is my fight."


"No. You don't need to dirty your hands with her blood. I will fight." Knowing full well that this could be seen as insubordination, Riff continued to stay there. It was his job to protect Mel after all. What kind of follower would he be if he simply watched her fight without doing something to stop her.


Seeing the determination in her servant's eyes, Mel smirked. Her stance loosened and she walked back to her original spot, beside Vash. "Do as you please. But don't embarrass me."


"I won't." Riff then turned to the assassin. "Whatever your reason, I cannot forgive anyone who wishes to harm my master." He then readied himself for battle, waiting for Jinn to make the first move. Slowly, he allowed white scales to cover his body.


Vash was a bit conflicted as he watched Riff. Was the boy so set on possibly losing his life because of Mel? Where was this unshakable loyalty coming from? And was Mel okay with watching Riff fight her battles for her? Still he stayed quiet. This had nothing to do with him unless an attack came for Mel. That was his place. His fists clenched. Was all this really okay?
 
Faith listened to Raina very seriously, her expression grave as she took this in. There was a rapist roaming about the school, with all these young girls...with her little girl. With her sister, who had had her own torture with men like this. Yet another serious threat, another evil being...how could Macal even think about letting them go on a vacation? There was no possible way she could rest knowing that a man like that, or undead being, or whatever the hell he was, was anywhere near her family or the other students.


The thought of this enraged her even more than Evangeline's presence, because this struck a nerve with Faith that had never entirely healed over. A man like that, in HER school...because that was how she was starting to think of this place now, as entirely hers... it wasn't going to go on for another second if she could help it.


When Raina went into the training room, shutting the door behind her, Faith knew she was upset, that she needed to hit things or cry. In a way she was proud of her, because she easily could have stalked about the school looking for a PERSON to take her feelings out on. She started to walk away, entirely focused on finding this man...but then she felt it again. That oppressive evil, so close her body shuddered in disgust as it swept over her senses...coming from somewhere near...


"Raina," she called, and opened the training door- and there he was. A redheaded man, pinning Raina against the wall, a knife to her back...and Raina was bleeding. Raina was bleeding, Raina had been stabbed, and Faith saw red.


It seemed no more than one huge step, more like a leap before she had crossed the floor. Grabbing the man's wrist, she squeezed it hard enough to break the bones of most beings, snatching the knife away. Aiming a punch at his face that would be powerful enough to knock most across the room and even possibly through the wall, and still holding the knife, Faith stabbed out at him, intent on killing him.


No one was touching one of her girls.
 
Jace shrugged, "I have no idea what will calm him down, nothing?" Jace watched Flower as she moved, also ready to fight and his hand twitched. Sethos was screaming at him.


Come on Jace! This is our opportunity! She's just asking for it! And we're not linked anymore! I can kill the bit*h!


You so much as touch her and I'll become an emo.


Hah. An emo? Is that the only threat you got?


Well what else can I do? We share a damn body Sethos!


Share? You call it sharing? Then where's MY share Jace? I'm always stuck inside here! Always watching! IT SUCKS!


What about when you killed Hunter. Raina's mum, her sister, what about when you brought back Kol? What about when you killed all those others?


With Sethos safely shut up - for now - Jace readied himself, nodding at Flower, "You go first."





------------------------------


Kol had been in the middle of kissing Raina, blood flowing freely from the girl's back as she struggled against him, when he heard movement, pulling away from Raina just to see a girl - no, a woman - rushing at him amazon style, and before he could teleport outta there she had gripped his wrist and he let out a yell of pain as it snapped completely, his wrist now broken by the simple grip of a woman who he had never met.


Suddenly he could no longer feel the knife in his grasp, and a fist slammed into his face. He felt his feet leave the ground entirely as he flew across the room and smashed into the wall hard enough to daze the man for a moment. Then a knife was headed his way. Kol wasn't dying today. Not until he'd done what he needed to do. So, he teleported away from the woman, but in his injured state he only managed to teleport to where Raina was standing still, shocked. And he ground out his words, his voice pained as he grabbed Raina and held her so that her back was against his front. "Who's yer friend Raina? What did I tell ya' about makin' friends Raina?" He leant closer and hissed in the girl's ear, loud enough for Faith to hear though. "I'll kill them."


No. Raina couldn't take it. Faith, Faith had saved her. Faith was here. Her back hurt. Faith had managed to hurt Kol, she had snapped his bone without even breaking a sweat, she could smell not just her own blood now, but Kol's blood too, which was coming from his forehead where Faith had thrown him. Her back hurt. She could still feel Kol's lips on hers, even though they weren't, his arms around her, and she, despite the excruciating pain coming from the gash in her back, spun around and kicked the man in the side hard enough to make him fall down as she stumbled back, towards Faith. Kol looked up in anger before he hissed his words, "Keep an eye on ya' baby sister Faye, because she's going first." Then, there was no smoke, no flash of light. He was just gone.


Raina took in a shaky breath, the pain of her back was almost nothing now. He was going after Faye. Her legs were shaking and as she looked to Faith, there were tears in her eyes, "Thank you." She whispered, barely audible. She could still feel Kol on her, and as she reached to her back she winced, her hand covered in red. It was a pretty deep gash. She then looked to where he had been, and she closed in on herself, arms wrapping around herself protectively.


Faith was so strong, much stronger than Raina. She could break Kol's bone without even having to think about it. Raina was sure if he wasn't able to teleport, then he would already be dead on the ground by now.


(Oh my gosh! I almost cried when I saw that!! 'No one was touching one of her girls.' !!! That's so sweet! :3 Oh and sorry, I had to make him teleport otherwise I'm sure Faith would have killed him O.o But she'll meet him again so don't worry :P )
 
(lol Raina is one of her girls now, even if Faith is regularly angry at her...people grow on her and then she's fiercely protective. She might not say so to Raina now, or any time soon, but she does care about her.)


"Kill me? Oh, you fuckin' think so? Think again, Chester Molester," Faith spat back at the man, more than ready to finish this before it started. "You can't handle a real woman so you go for little girls? Let me give you a piece of what you're so afraid of."


She lunged toward him again, but then he was gone, leaving only smoke behind. Faith stumbled, then turned sharply, furious to see that he was nowhere at all. How had he gotten in? Why was an academy for children made in such a manner that unauthorized people weren't blocked from coming in and out like that?! What the hell was going on, the guy had been solid. Solid, and not a vampire...was this like with Sheena, had he come back through the tear between worlds in the last year? Shit, how many had this happened to?


"F*cking coward," she spat bitterly, her muscles almost aching with her desire to fight, to lash out at that thing- he was a thing to Faith, not a man at all. She had wanted to torture him rather than simply end his life...and she would. Oh, she would.


But she had Raina here now. Raina, wrapped around herself, still bleeding freely, looking as vulnerable and traumatized as Faith had ever seen her. Looking at Raina, Faith found it hard not to flash back to herself, to thinking of that time in the training room, years ago, with the thing that had worn Buffy's face...to her own home, her father easing the door open, whispering her name.


Pushing that aside, she knelt beside her, hesitating. Raina had never accepted comfort from her before. Raina had never appeared to want it. Raina, for all Faith knew, despised her. But she could not have ignored her own instinct then, and she lay a hesitant hand on her shoulder, saying nothing in the moment. She just remained there with her, and hoped that would be enough.
 
Flower looks at him and then smiles. "Well hold on..." She said and then started pulling out knifes from hidden places everywhere. She pulled out two hand guns from her boots and and a buckle around her stomach will throwing knifes. She pulled out a pistal and key holder spear that was in the shape of a knife, but if you pressed the button it would stretch out into a spear. She looks at Jace with a small smile. "Heh....oh man i think I just lost a few pounds." She said and then laughed looking at all her weapons. Ben was watching her with a nervous smile. Exackly how much trouble does his little girl get into to carry so many hidden weapons. How the heck does she not cut herself when she moves? Flower looks at him and then dropped her sword. "Alright now I'm ready." She said with a smile.


"Alright Jace let's see what you got." she said her smile turning into a smirk. "I'm going to train you how to fight so you have no reason to bring Sethos out in a fight." She said her eyes narrowing. "I'm unarmed, but you can use any weapon you choose." She said and then jumped toward him raising her fist to punch him. With out all that weight of the metal she was much faster now.


(Heh...she'll probably grab a weapon if Sethos comes out. But she's trying to avoied a fight with Sethos as much as she can.)
 
Raina was thinking so quickly that it felt like there was a hive of furious bees in her mind, bashing against her skull and buzzing so loudly she could barely hear Faith's voice or even her breathing. But she could hear her own heart, thudding dangerously fast with her fear. Faye...he was going after Faye. He would kill Faye. Then Liza. Maybe even Chameleon. Who else? Who else would she have to watch die? Hadn't he already killed too many that she loved? Mabel? Mum? He hadn't killed them with his own hands; the coward had tricked Sethos into doing his dirty work for him. But if he hadn't of angered Sethos, then Mabel would still be here, alive, 12 years old. She would getting her first crush, asking Raina for advice, she would be wanting to try on make-up, and Raina would have been there, helping her, teaching her.


But she was forever five in the world of death. Raina would never get to see her as a teenager, as an adult, she wouldn't be able to see Mabel walk down the aisle dressed in white with her perfect boyfriend at her side. And that's what he would be, perfect, because Raina would accept no less for her baby sister.


But Faye. If she saved Faye, she could watch her walk down an aisle someday.


Then Faith's hand was on her shoulder, and as Raina looked up with clear surprise in her eyes, as though she had been brought out from her own world. And there, there was Faith, offering comfort. Faith could kill Kol. Easily. If Faith hadn't shown up, if she hadn't stopped Kol.... Raina didn't even want to imagine what might have happened.


Her eyes watered and with a sudden impulse she pushed forward and her arms wrapped around Faith in a tight hug. For once, she did know what she was doing. She hugged the older girl fiercely, her body shaking lightly as tears left her eyes. "Thank you." She managed to whisper out again inbetween her light sobs. As much as Raina hated to admit it. Faith had saved her. Raina wasn't sure if her Father was planning to kill her, just hurt her or do....other things to her.


But Faith had saved her.
 
*Macal did like Faith asked and checked on Liza and Sheena, the agent with Liza gives an all clear on her but when instructed she steps closer to Liza and tells her that she's to return to her quarters on her father's orders. He then contacts Sheena via her commbadge, to be honest for once he was actually relived she was with Eve, having a vampire that seems to have a twisted devotion to her could come in handy if there is a threat to her, even if it's just cannon fodder. He arrives in the room just as the figure vanishes and Faith is looking like she's been fighting and Raina is bleeding, he had overheard the man talking before he made it into the room. Since Faith didn't seem hurt he moved to Raina and place one of the towels students use to wipe themselves off after training (a clean one :P ) over the wound, sadly because of Raina non-benevolent ways.Meaning she would drain a puppy if she felt the need or was bored, his powers to heal don't fully work on her and she would probably burst into flames if she drank his blood he only needs slow the bleeding till her own healing factor kicks in* Come on Raina lets get you to the infirmary I bet they got a nice 2002 A Positive for you, While you'll recovering I'll be happy to hear about who the hell that guy was. And by the way don't worry about your little sister my Sweepers are staying close to her.
 
Faith in no way had expected Raina to even accept her attempt to show empathy, let alone to return a gesture of affection. She freezes briefly when the girl embraces her, even begins to cry against her, thrown by this show of acceptance. But then she lowers her hand, placing it lightly between Raina's shoulderblades, and hugs her back.


If one good thing might come out of this chaos, it might be this.


"Hey, it's gonna be all right," she tells her quietly, letting the girl hold on. "You think I'm gonna let him lay a hand on any of you and escape with an arm intact? No way. Not my students, not my sister, not my daughter...not any one of my girls."


She stops, realizing what she just said, that she's including Raina as one of her girls and actually spoke it out loud, and hurriedly tries to cover her tracks. What had she even meant, saying that?


"Look, Raina...he's a coward. Believe me, I've known men like him, and he won't last around here long. He'll mess up coming back, because you know those guys, they never can resist, and we'll take him down. I won't let him touch you or your sister either."


As Macal comes into the room, she looks up, grateful he said nothing about them embracing, and lets Raina go, still keeping a hand on her shoulder. "You heard him, they can fix you up in the infirmary." She walks with her though, not yet wanting to let her be alone.
