Ryker nodded at DeAnne's words. Then began to chuckle. "I eat really anything." "Oh except Lain, i can't harm her in anyway. We're joined in a way." He pulled her face closer for another kiss. "I love you DeAnne.."
________
Lain could feel tears streaming down her face, Getting off her bed she left her room and headed for Daemon's. She knocked gently. "Daemon.. Can i come in... I need a hug.."

Daemon was still awake when Lain knocked and he opened the door, "sure, you can stay here if you like, have new draws to show you," he said closing the door behind him. _____________ DeAnne smiled at him, "Anything even me?" DeAnne began to chuckle, "I feel the same way. Ryker, all this talk is starting to make me tired, I'll be back, just take a quick snack then bed," DeAnne said as she headed for the kitchen, "You want anything?"

Lain ran to Daemon and buried her head in his chest, being very careful not to touch him with her palms.. "Can you please just hug me for a bit... i need hugs.." She said her voice muffled. Her thoughts were a thick fog and she was slightly dizzy causing her to lean heavily on Daemon, Depending on him for stability. "I don't feel good.."
_______
"You'd probably be too spicy." "I feel the same way. Ryker, all this talk is starting to make me tired, I'll be back, just take a quick snack then bed," "You want anything?" "Um water would be really nice, please." He said smiling. He was getting tired as well. As he watched DeAnne leave his eyelids became extremely heavy, giving in he fell into a deep sleep.

"There there Laine, shh... what happened? Hey, if you want you can stay with me--seems like you need it," Daemon said comforting her. "Why don't I get you a drink, that might help--I have a Pinacolada somewhere in the kitchen, besides I am in the mood for a Screwdriver. Meanwhile you can look at this," he said as he showed her his art and paintings, then left for the kitchen.
Daemon was on his way and he had ran into DeAnne, "Annie, hey, why are you here so late? I am here to get a drink," he said going to the refrigerator
"I am going to get a bite before bed," DeAnne replied, microwaving a sand witch.
There was awkward silence and laconic replies that shaped the tone and mood of the conversation. Daemon felt the relationship between them had changed just in an instant due to many events, particularly her relationship between her and Ryker. DeAnne on the other hand felt Daemon was too caught up in his little world that he needed to learn to let go and see what it is, not what he wants to see.
"Night Daem," DeAnne said as she made her way quickly to Ryker, she did not want to have contact with Daemon, she felt it was unnecessary for now.
"Night Annie," he muttered as he made his way Lain.

Lain watched as Daemon left, then turned her attention to the artwork. "It's beautiful.." She whispered, Reaching out and grabbing a corner, Pulling it toward her. She felt her fingers tingling. Gasping she dropped it, watching the beautiful drawing with the small charcoal fingerprints fall to the floor. Lain weeped silently.. She didn't understand what was happening to her, she was scared.. She wiped the tears off her face, she could feel the heat radiating around her fingertips. Biting her lip she stood awkwardly, trying not to touch anything..
___
Ryker swam slowly through the murky lake, his mane sliding over his slimy face. He had just had his fill of meat and was feeling quite perky, His fish like tail propelled him deeper into the lake. He was ready to retire, fall into a deep sleep. That's when he heard it, a small quiet voice. "How am i meant to do that? I'm going to fail.. Mother is going to hate me.." He whipped his head around searching for the person linked to the voice.. who the hell would be here? This was his area know one ever came down there.. Unless they wanted to die. Ryker's eyes snapped open. "Well that was odd.." Yawning he rubbed his eyes..

"Hey did I wake you? I brought you your water," DeAnne said as she sat on the bed, eating her sandwich she was almost done. It was tastier than anything. "Ryk, another thing, please try to get along with Daemon despite him over acting? I just want the best in this household..."she said putting her sandwich on the side table and now laying down beside him.
She wondered how Daemon was, she still had guilt lingering in her, she could not help it. Daemon was a great friend but she had not been as wonderful. She gazed at Ryker, then leaned her head against his chest, "Ryker, promise me one thing. Promise me to stay close to me." _____ Meanwhile Daemon entered his room, he gave Lain the drink and started drinking his. He had noticed the drawing on the floor and picked it up, it was a picture of a woman looking like Lain but wearing a white translucent gown. He noticed Lain was not feeling right and wanted to say something to cheer her up, "Lainie, come to me whenever you need help, Ok? What's wrong?"

Lain began to cry heavily. "My hands" She spluttered "Everything i touch burns" She said in between sobs, her free hand clenched tightly into a fist at her side. "I ruined your picture.. and my pillow..." She began to cough, choking on her tears. "I-i-i-m s-so-rry." She quickly drank the sweet liquid and put the cup down and ran to Daemon, pressed her forehead against his chest. "I need you now Daemon.." She whispered. "I'm so scared.."
____________________
"Thanks!" He said taking the glass and chugging the cool, clear liquid. When Ryker finished he stared at DeAnne. "Ryk, another thing, please try to get along with Daemon despite him over acting? I just want the best in this household..." "I think you might want to tell that to him not me, He's the one who's never civil.." He said, gritting his teeth at the thought of Daemon. Ryker wrapped his arm around her as she leant her head on his chest. "Ryker, promise me one thing. Promise me to stay close to me." "I would never leave you DeAnne." He said, strength in his words.

"Thank you," DeAnne said as she drifted off to bed. ______________ "Its part of life Lain, fear is part of life.... its OK, I can always draw another picture, c'mon its getting late, better rest now, aye?"

Lain stared up at him, eyes wide in disbelief. "I tell you I'm lighting things on fire, with my hands and all you say is "It's a part of life" and that we should sleep?" She pulled away from daemon and hung her head. "Maybe you were the wrong person to come to, Sorry for bothering you." She moved around Daemon, and left him. She close the door behind her trying so hard not to cry again, yet failing miserably. She felt more alone than ever. Moving ever so slowly, she made her way into her room and searched for a bag. She shoved in a few extra clothes and a blanket. Pulling on a heavy jacket over her pajamas, she left her room and went to the kitchen. She found three pieces of fruit and some bread, she pushed that in the bag also. Slinging her bag over her shoulder she left the kitchen and found her way to the front door and paused. Shaking her head violently she yanked the door open, closed it behind her and broke out into a sprint. She needed to clear her mind, she needed to find herself.
_________
Ryker smiled and DeAnne's beautiful face, closed his eyes and drifted off.

Daemon sighed, maybe she'll be back tomorrow--nothing he could do now. He sat in his bed, he had been rather distraught lately that he cannot even give simple advice. He looked at the picture he drew of Serina, it conflicted with his image of Lain---they looked so alike. He realized he had been acting rather odd lately and still was puzzle on why he was. What were these memories about? ______________ Meanwhile... DeAnne lay awake, she could not sleep.
I wonder what will happen in the future, I wonder what will happen to Ryker and I....where is this relationship going? I love him, I do but a part of me cannot help but consider the future consequences and rewards. I am so allured by him, every step I take near him makes me excited, I love him. But there is something and other situations in the way.
Don't forget about Daemon....
He had been caught up lately, something wrong with him...something peculiar. He is in his little world conflicting with Ryker and me. Something about him is alarming, I cannot seem to point my finger to it but I just know it. Ugh, I feel so annoyed I hate feeling distressed. I do know what to do and I hide behind my love hoping he will protect me....but who will protect him? So pathetic of me, I-- don't know anymore. So much to think about, so much...
"Ryker, Ryk, I cannot sleep, I don't feel right, I think I need a shower," DeAnne said as she got up, showers made her feel clean and cleansed, not sinful and dirty.

Ryker's eyes snapped open. "Ryker, Ryk, I cannot sleep, I don't feel right, I think I need a shower," "Oh ok.." Ryker ruffled his hair, stifling a yawn. He watched silently as DeAnne left, he sat up and stretched, He wasn't really tired anymore. "I wonder what Lain's up to.." He thought aloud. All the muscles in his body ached, he felt as if he was going through a growth spurt. He watched in horror as his skin began to ripple like a stone when it hits the water. "Fuck.." He hissed clenching his teeth preparing himself for what came next. His stomach contracted causing his body to slump foreword, crashing onto the floor. He began to convulse violently, his teeth still clenched so that he wouldn't bite off his tongue. "W-he-re a-re you Laa-in! Fu-uck!" He bellowed, The tremors becoming more and more powerful. He managed to push himself into a crawling position, using the was as leverage, he stood up, Arm wrapped around his stomach as if it was going to fall out. He started to wobble his way out of the room, with every convulsion he got launched into one of the walls, causing a horrible noise. With every tremor, small cracks began to appear in Ryker's skin, He had to get to Lain and fast. Using the walls as guides he quickly maneuvered his way around all the obstacles in the house, managing to control his body when he convulsed so that he wouldn't crash into one of the walls. "LAIN!" He shouted, as a paroxysm sent him flying through a window. He was now covered in blood and glass, still suffering from vicious muscle spasms. Somehow he got back on his feet, and started off in a warped stagger, following Lain's thought pattern, moving as fast as he possibly could.
___________
Lain reached the forrest quickly, she felt safe around trees, peaceful. Lain pulled the blanket out of her sad looking bad and set it out over the grass, for something soft to sit on. As she sat down in a cross legged position he stared at the bridle wrapped around her small wrist. It was ugly, and really needed a clean, so she removed it, slowly. After it was off she placed it beside her and rubbed her wrist, the bridle had left small leather burns from continuous wear and tear. Yawning, she reached into her bag and pulled out one of the pieces of fruit she remembered to pack. "Yum.." She said smiling at the apple, just as she was about to take a bite, her ears twitched. Someone was coming to the forrest. They wanted Lain.

DeAnne went out of the bathroom after hearing the raucous, "Ryk--" he was not there. She felt fear strike her soul for what she knew happened was something unexpected. Definitely something wrong. She put on skinny jeans and a hoodie, she disliked wearing jeans, shorts were better---she found jeans to be restricting but it was cold outside thus being necessary. And just in case, she brought her katana with her, something she cannot live without.
She walked out the house trying to pick up Ryker's scent, which she memorized by now, she sniffed away running, teleporting and walking. At a point she felt lost, too lost. Why would he go to the woods? What could possibly be there? Nonetheless, she persevered reeling into the forest with quivering doubt. she stopped near the middle and decided to take a rest, she had not been into this part of Animus but she had the other side. Though an awkward vibe struck her when she took her first step into the forest, she knew she was not alone and a pair of eyes had been stalking her.
She heard breathing, heavy breathing, and could hear the leaves crunch from behind her. The thing or whatever it was started to freak DeAnne out, she could not help but check what it was she looked behind her and screamed excessively hard.
Then came to the realization that..... it was just Daemon.
"You! You! Asshole! Why the heck were you stalking me?! What is wrong with you?" DeAnne scolded.
"Lainie was missing and I figured wherever she goes Ryker goes and wherever Ryker goes you go, I miss out on Ryker and not you. Just wanna help m'kay? " Daemon said coolly as he leaned against his scythe. He did not wear his cloak this time but wore a blue shirt and tailored pants.
"Fine, I forgive you just stop acting like a jerk around him, he genuinely loves me I can tell. Please help me find him? I heard noise from the bathroom and when I came out he was gone....sure left the room a mess. Its unlike him to just leave."
Daemon's eyes started to twitch [stop acting like a jerk .
I was a jerk? But all I was doing was looking out for her, is that being a jerk? Oh no--but wait, damn.... I need to calculate the truth of the matter: he protects her at times when she nor I cant, he comforts her, says he loves her, they have chemistry. NO! Damn, me, am I admitting I was wrong the whole time.... I guess I am. I hate this part. I need to apologize to him....Damn Assqua!
Though I must admit.... he had sure helped DeAnne turn back to normal with a slight eruption of our relationship.... I guess thats good for her.
Daemon nodded in reply, "alright, now where to start?"
"I am as lost as you.... I wish Ryker was here."
"You always wish he was here," Daemon said as he trotted off, meandering around the forest helplessly. DeAnne followed him.

Lain got up from her make-shift seat, getting in a defensive position. She caught a snippet of a warped thought wave.. "But the only person that i can hear... Oh no.." A look of terror flickered onto her face as the truth dawned on her. "Oh no... Oh god no..." She glanced at wrist realizing what she had done moments before, The bridle was off.. She made a grab for it..
________
In moments Ryker was running with such speed the trees were a blur, yet easily avoiding them. He suddenly felt incredibly powerful, His skin glowed a dark blue. He felt horrendously hungry, he could smell "A Pure" not far ahead, He wanted it. He crashed absentmindedly through trees, smashing them to pieces. He saw a clearing ahead, getting steadily closer. He saw the beautiful girl reaching for.. A bridle. His bridle. In seconds he was right in front of her, flinging her back with a harsh backhand. __________
It felt as if she was in slow motion when she reached for the bridle, within seconds she had been hit by a giant force and sent flying into a nearby tree. Hitting it she let out a blood curdling scream as she felt her shoulder blade shatter. She watched half blind, as the tall man snatched up the bridle and wrapped it around his wrist. "No.." she mouthed, all her air had vanished. The man turned to face her, his naked chest dripping with water, his skin radiated a dark blue, his eyes, pitch black. "Ryker.. No..." She coughed, managing to use the tree as leverage, pushing herself up, gritting her teeth each time she bumped her shoulder. With her good arm, she whipped her dagger out of it's hiding spot and held it limply in her hand, in a pathetic attempt to protect herself. She watched Ryker approach, a seductive smile on his lips.. ________
Ryker walked slowly to "The pure" her scent radiating around her like a thick fog. Licking his lips he whispered. "You smell delicious, Cherie. But i bet you taste even better.." Grinning wildly he launched himself toward her, bearing his fangs..

Daemon and DeAnne approached the shriek, and saw Ryker attacking Lain. Daemon felt a surge of energy run threw him, his pendant, attached to his chest glowed and his eyes turned green, he tackled him and with his wings, he used his blades to pinned it down, they penetrated through his arms and wrist. The remaining blades shot at him sewing him to the ground. Ryker struggled but Daemon persevered, sitting on Ryker looking at poor Lain, battered and beaten. "Fuck you Assqua, I take my apology away."
DeAnne stood in shock, horrified, what had happened. She snap out of it and ran to Lain, she was struggling to keep alive. She nodded and took off her clothes, she could not cast a spell like this with any element that she was not born with. Even her ring, she laid to the ground. She started to cast, she rose up in the air, turning into a specter---a translucent ice-like thing in the sky, she knew what she would do would provide energy for her to move. Moments later, she started to slip into Lain's body, Lain now absorbing her, screeching in pain she was.
Daemon ignored DeAnne he had to focus on pinning Assqua down.

Ryker laughed like a maniac as he felt the blades pierce his skin. "Nice try Bitch." He sneered, as her melted into a black liquid and slid under him, reforming behind him, kicking him in the side of the face, sending him flying. With a sickening crack his bat-like wings appeared. "I'm going to have her.. YOU CANT STOP ME!" He roared launching himself toward Lain. Lain's eyes flashed a brilliant green, lifting her arms, palms facing outward, she shouted. "LEGARA!" A giant gail of gold wind shot him through 2 thick trees. Lain breathed heavily.
