[CrimsonMoon]

In a flash his steel hits flesh... But stops there... Fingers curl around his blade from where they had struck someone's palm... No... Her palm,"... Elizah...?" Eva whispers," I don't want to fight you..."

She's a traitor...![/i{

[mationix]

Elizah hesitated for a moment, her voice reaching his mind. Though the voice seemed to brush away her words, as he wrenched his sword from her grasp and stumbled to get his balance afterwards. He crouched down and suddenly sprang towards her, slashing his sword.

[CrimsonMoon]

The Magistrate stumbled away and pressed himself into a corner, Eva placing herself between him and Elizah before quickly parrying his blade away, wincing when her claws strike the steel

[mationix]

He gritted his teeth, quickly sliding his foot along the ground to trip her up. It felt weird fighting against Eva, fighting against his mate. Though the voice inside of him had rendered him unable to realize who he was fighting against.

[CrimsonMoon]

Eva manages to move her foot so she crushes his instead than murmurs an apology, she slams her sharp elbow across his face and dazes herself with pain," Elizah...!" She calls to him

kill... Kill it!

[mationix]

He grunted, stumbling backwards. Her voice seemed to slowly shift the fluff around in his mind, though not enough to get rid of it. Reaching into his pocket, Elizah swung his arm out in an ark, tiny knives flying towards Eva.

[CrimsonMoon]

Eva started in suprise and leapt back, throwing her arms over her face as the knives sunk into her body.

She felt pain for the first time and couldn't help but scream... Her Monster side usually took the pain, made her immune to it...

It shocked her so much that she froze and stumbled back, bumping against the magistrate who gasps and tries to hold her up," Yo-young lady!"

Eva barely here him... Wha-what's happening... To me...? she thinks through her pain fogged mind... The beast inside... It was dead... But she was still the Aswang...

[CrimsonMoon]

Mat:
Elizah hesitated for a moment. It seemed like he had actually injured her. Though his animal-esque brain quickly brushed that thought aside. Good. His prey was weakened. Elizah bared his teeth at her, almost in a grin. He lept forward, his sword slashing at her.

Crim:
The old man moves to protect her but suddenly-

His sword shatters as her talons curl around it. She stood now, breathing hard as flames seemed to dance in her purely red eyes,"... Wake up..."

Mat:
(Back c: ) Elizah snarled and slid his feet along the ground, hitting the calves of her leg. He sprung away and reached into his pockets again. With a loud /snap!/, a plume of smoke appeared, enveloping the room. When the smoke cleared, Elizah was gone.

Crim:
(Weba!) Eva lashes out at the smoke and whips around, struggling to keep her fury intact," ELIZAH!"

-TIME . SKIPEH-

Mat:
(Mk~) For a day, Elizah hadn't been seen in the town. It was almost like he had vanished. Though it was quite the contrary; Elizah was always in the town, though hidden in the dark shadows. His animal side was telling him to lie low and wait. And so, he listened to it.

Crim:
It turned out that Jackson had spilled the beans of Eva's power to the Boss that same night as well, so now she fearfully patrolled the town. Being avoided by people because the news of her becoming a demon to save the magistrate had spread like wild fire.

When Eva was alone, she'd call his name... She missed her mate...

Now Eva watched the sun sink in the horizon as she sat on a barrel and sniffled,"... Pitiful..."

Mat:
Though his instincts tended to be violent and short-tempered, it realized that someone was suffering. And it wasn't just anybody, oh no -he couldn't care less for anyone else's suffering-, it was his mate's. Cautiously, he appeared from out of the shadows, eying her warily. He stood a couple feet away from her, his eyes flickering from her face to everywhere else. Was this a trap?

Crim:
Her ear twitched, Eva looks at him and her eyes widen," El-Elizah...?!" She whispers, trying to push down the happy tears that had started to gather in her eyes," Wha...?"

[CrimsonMoon]

Mat:
He hesitantly took a step closer, his fingertips brushing against a tear that escaped her eyes. She seemed fine now, good. Though why...why did he feel so nervous being out here with her?

Crim:
Eva sniffs and puts a hand on his cheek hesitantly, her arms covered with banadages,"... You're still in there, aren't you?" She murmurs, biting her lip," So... Why are you acting worse than me?"

Mat:
He pressed his hand against her hand that was pressed against his cheek, and closed his eyes. He was quiet for a moment, standing as still as a statue. His eyes finally opened and he stared at her. "Hurts," he managed to say, his voice a deep rumble, "the want for...for blood is still there." It seemed as if he was having a hard time articulating words.

Crim:
Eva frowns sympathetically, she knew how that felt... And what would happen if that hunger went unchecked," Remember, before we left, you gave me some blood? I can give you some of mine," she smiles and presses her forehead against his

Mat:
Elizah paused, his shoulders tightening. "I can't do that," he pleaded, shaking his head. "If I do that, I don't know if I can stop; last night I was waiting in the forest and I came across two...two men. I wasn't thinking, and I was so thirsty." His voice raised an octave higher, swallowing nervously.

Crim:
Eva frowns and nuzzles his ear," i'll stop you... Punch you in the stomach or something, than maybe I can find out a way to... Seal 'it'," she shrugs, he wasn't used to the hunger so there was no way in hell he could starve the beast out like she had..

Mat:
He laughed, though it sounded forced. "I don't know," he slowly said, "if anyone sees us..." He let that sentence hang in the air, as he nervously licked his lips, glancing over his shoulder. (I'll reply tomorrow, going to bed. G'night. c: )

Crim:
" They'll just think we're makin' out," she laughs lightly, pushing her black hair back from her neck and pulling down her collar so her shoulder was exposed as well," It's ok, i'll stop you," she promises

(Night x3)

Mat:
He frowned at her, wanting to say no, that this was a bad idea. Though he was so thirsty. Elizah finally nodded, giving her a peck on the cheek, whispering hoarsely, "I'm sorry." He brushed his lips against her neck, and finally finding the right spot, sank his teeth into her skin, slowly drawing out her blood, not wanting to hurt her.

Crim:
Eva twitches faintly, putting an arm around his head and Murmuring," Slowly...."her tone seeming far off

Mat:
Elizah paused for a moment, not knowing if he should stop or not. As he drank her blood, he felt a himself relax, and he could finally think. His senses slowly dulled, as the animal inside od him was satisfied. Elizah slowly lifted his mouth from her neck, looking exhausted.

Crim:
Sorry, at school)

Eva fights a small wave of nausea and settles down, leaning against him quietly,"... Better?"

Mat:
(Ah, I see. Sorry. ^^;; ) Elizah swallowed and nodded, pressing his palm against the middle of her back, pushing her against him. "Yeah...thanks," he murmured, feeling guilty and embarrassed.

Crim:
(Sok! X3)

Eva smiles and gently runs a hand through his hair," But you feel ok now, yes? I had to do the same but... I always waited until the last minute," she frowns but hums gently, focusin on a wall behind him

Mat:
It felt like whatever was inside him, let out a sigh when she ran her fingers through his hair. He closed his eyes, a pleased hum coming from his throat. "Yes," he whispered, not wanting to break the silence. Elizah hesitated, before asking, "What about you, are you alright from...well, from my..." He couldn't spit it out; he had attacked Eva, his mate. The worst crime he could've committed.

Crim:
( *pats * s'ok xD i got chu)

Eva smiles and murmurs," I'm fine... But you need more help than I do at the moment," She pauses and pats his cheek playfully,"... I don't want the Boss to catch you... He thinks we're both from a family of monsters now... I think... He wants us to fight..." She trails off and closes her eyes, /don't you break, dammit.../

Mat:
(;A; thank you = I had tried to get on a couple hours ago, though I had to disappear and help unload, before I could reply to anything...) Elizah frowned taking a small step away, so that he could look at her fully. "'Fight'? You mean each other?" He asked, looking worried. Whether it was for him or for her, even he didn't know. He grimaced and, before continuing, "Wait a second. He knows about your secret?" Elizah let out a string of curse words under his breath, his eyes glazing over in thought, gripping her shoulders tightly without realizing it.

Crim:
( s'oooook xD i still luv ye)

Eva blinks slowly and calmly puts her hands over his," Yeah... Maybe... But i'm not sure... I'm just glad you won't get in any more trouble," she smiles slightly, watching him carefully

Mat:
(Thanks, I feel muuuuch better XD) Elizah shook his head, his eyes focusing on her again. His grimace turned worried, as he said, "That's not the point. Telling him was bad...bad, bad, bad."

Crim:
" He was gonna find out some way any way," She murmurs and shrugs, glancing up as se sees a figure approaching from a ways away

Mat:
He pinched the bridge of his nose, exhausted from this. He opened his mouth, like he was going to say something, though as he followed her gaze, he snapped it shut. "I gotta go, I can't be here," he murmured, kissing her forehead. He spun around and melted into the shadows once more.

Crim:
Eva tries to call him back but falls silent, she glanced back at the figure with a bit of annoyance... /huh... That kinda looks like the boss.../

Mat:
Sure enough, the Boss slowly plodded over to Eva, his cheeks bright from running. "Ah, there you are, m'dear," he puffed, patting his forehead with a tissue, "I've been looking for you." He eyed her warily, as a warlord eyes his insane soldier, though there was a sort of greed in his eyes. He had the perfect weapon at his fingertips. "I was told that perhaps someone would have visited you today, someone who I need to find," he casually stated, his eyes glancing over the scenery. He was quiet for a moment, before he asked impatiently, his tolerance for games done, "Where is Elizah?"

Crim:
" He hasn't come to me yet, Boss Man," she looks down, absently pulling her collar up so it covered the small wound," It's not yet night so..." She trails off and shrugs weakly

Mat:
He pressed his mouth into a thin line, torn between thinking she was lying or telling the truth. "And how do you know he'll visit you tonight?" He demanded, staring directly at her. "I cannot wait too long, I am an impatient man; if I want something, or something done, I want it immediately." A cruel smile spread across his face, his eyes looking her up at down, taking their sweet time.

Crim:
" Because all monster's come out a night, Boss Man," she glances at him, her bangs covering one eye while the other temporarily flashed blood red, making an extra creepy effect. Hell, she'd go into her full Aswang form if it'd get him to stop hitting on her!

[mationix]

(Yay phones~ I'll put up the rest of the replies, if you want. c:)

[CrimsonMoon]

Plz do xDDDD sorry!!

[mationix]

Mat:
He tilted his head to the side, looking like he was thinking for once. "Do you think he is a monster, Ms. Eva?" He asked, curious. He glanced away, deep in thought. "I wonder how it happened," he mused, half to himself.

Crim:
"No," she replies, a little too quickly, "...He's not a monster, he can't be a monster cuz...cuz he's Elizah," -She feels a bandage on her arm loosen and begins to attempt to fix it- "He's just being manipulated by something like me..."

Mat:
"I see," he slowly said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Is there...perhaps a way to give my other assassins what he has?" Without waiting for her to reply, he spread his arms wide, a large grin spreading across his face. "Just think of it! Hundreds of monsters in my control; don't you see, my power of this land will increase tenfold because of them!"

Crim:
Eva closes her eyes and suddenly starts to chuckle, a dark chuckle. Eventually she sputters and starts to laugh loudly, throwing her head back and hugging her knees, nearly falling off the barrel in her fit of joy.

Mat:
He grinned, thinking her laughter was an agreement. "See, you understand where I'm coming from. Join me and we can rule together," he said, holding his hand out, "you will be able to live in peace, if you help me. Perhaps even with Elizah, if you play your cards right." He frowned a little and continued, "Though I do not like to share my things, especially with one who had matted with her."

Crim:
She grins at him, her grey eyes flashing eerily. "You're a truly stupid human, did you know that?" She straightens her back, crossed her legs and rolls her shoulders. "Even now, Elizah doesn't have a fraction of the power of control I do. And even if you did manage to raise an army...I'd just wipe them out." She stares down the street, twiddling her thumbs in her lap. "Cuz...It'd be fun to slaughter your hard work like cattle."

Mat:
He let out a sad sigh, looking truly regretful. "We would've been a great pair, you and I," he said wistfully, shaking his head. He tilted his head to the side, studying her, before saying, "I respect your decision though know that now you are an enemy of my team. Every single one of them will be hounding you down, even Elizah. Even though he might care for you, I am still his master. And he will come running back, as loyal as a mutt." He gave her a curt bow, before turning on his heels and walking away.

Crim:
Almost immediately, she grabs the back of his shirt, purring softly, "What happened to wanting to mate with me? Was it a huge turn off when you found out I was a monster, or was it because I was already taken?" Her grip was like iron and she didn't even look at him.

Mat:
He glanced over his shoulder, looking at her in the corner of his eyes. "Quite the contrary. It is because you are too weak to realize your own potential, shrouded by your own lust for my assassin. I do no blame you, however. Realizing one's full potential can be quite difficult for someone." He pried her fingers off of his shoulder disdainfully and gave her another bow. He disappeared around the corner, the quiet sound of a shutting door was the only sound before silence ensued.

Crim:
She snorts and rolls her eyes. "Humans..." she growls and digs her nails into her legs. Maybe it'd be fun to let go and slaughter this town with Elizah... Hmmm...

Mat:
A pair of arms wrapped around her waist, as someone propped their head on her shoulders. "I apologize for disappearing on you," Elizah said, kissing her jaw, "I just cannot see him right now. Are you alright?"

Crim:
"Yeah..." She purses her lips and wraps her arms around him, by reaching behind her. "He thought he could build an army of monsters... Too bad there are only a few real ones..."

Mat:
He made a noise in the back of his throat, sounding like a quiet growl. "How easy it would be to just leave this place," he mused, letting out a sigh.

[mationix]

Crim:
"...What's stopping us?" She hums, seeming to realize this herself... It was so stupidly simple.

Mat:
He hesitated. "That would mean leaving my brothers behind; every single of the assassins there are almost like my family. It would be wrong to just leave them..." It was a weak attempt to try and dissuade her, though the idea of him and her finally alone sounded so nice right now. No more need to hide anything, hide secrets, or work for the boss. If they left, they could finally be together...

Crim:
Eva smiles and closes her eyes, leaning back slightly. "That's a good reason... We could always challenge the Boss for control of the whole operation... Kill him in a duel and lead the pack... Hmm."

Mat:
He chuckled, though it sounded forced. "That is an option," he hesitantly replied. "Though if we just leave, we won't have anyone at our tails for vengeance."

Crim:
"True... But do you truly want to leave?" She asks softly, glancing at him curiously.

Mat:
He shifted his weight from foot to foot, his eyes glazing over in thought. If he leaved, he would be called a traitor, his once ago friends would now turn into his enemies. Though if he stayed, both he and Eva would be used by the Boss. He focused on her, his jaw set stubbornly. "I want to. It's the sagest thing for use to do."

Crim:
She glances at him and mumbles, "But before anything happens, I'm gonna get that monster out of you." She pats his cheek with a playful smile. "I'm the only real beast her.

Mat:
Elizah blinked at her. "Can you do that?" He asked slowly, an eyebrow raising. He shook his head, taking her hand and leading her to the woods. "Never mind, I know you can. Let's just go to the forest, I'd rather not have anyone see us leave."

Crim:
"We'll leave if it doesn't work," she promises. He would be lonely without his old friends... Hmmm...

Mat:
"We'll leave even if it does work," he said firmly. Finally, he stopped as they reached the outskirts of the forest. "So...what do I have to do?" He asked, letting her hand drop from his grasp.

Crim:
"Sit still and don't struggle, it'll just make it hurt more..." She trails off and bites her bottom lip. "I apologize before this happens." She kisses his cheek, smiles, and puts a hand on his shoulder. "When we first met, you saw a memory of mine... Well..." She shrugs.

Mat:
He hesitated, not liking what she was telling him. "I trust you," he said, sounding unsure. He slowly sat down, watching her as he did. "I did...? That was awhile ago; a month was it?" He asked, sounding surprised at how long it had been.

Crim:
She grins. "Something like that." Eva kisses his neck lightly. Immediately there was a cave... The cave they had run into when fleeing the soldiers who had hunted her. A young man sat cross legged in front of it, he smiled slightly, three long and thing tails waving behind his back. "...hey, welcome to my humble abode~" the familiar voice goads.

Mat:
Elizah took a small step forward, eyeing the man cautiously. "Are you the voice in my head?" He asked slowly, glancing around the cave, trying to wrap his mind around what had happened.

Crim:
The man chuckles and shrugs mockingly. "Anyway...I see you brought your pet to try and kick me out.., Hey Eva, long time no see!" There was a growl and the huge Aswag steps up beside Elizah, bristling.

(So, because there's about 30 more posts left and they're mainly one liners, I'll put up a summary. The guy leaves and Eva and Elizah are now snuggling together, because why not? I'll put up the last post, for you Crim. c:)

He closed his eyes, drinking in her scent. God he was so lucky. "Mm, I guess that would be a good thing, to finally feel pain," he said, trailing his fingers along the nape of her neck.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Yeah, it's... Nice, even if it kinda hurts," se admits and suddenly chomps on his neck playfully

(Ok! X3)

[mationix]

He winced. "I thought you said that you weren't hungry anymore," he said, grimacing.

[CrimsonMoon]

" I like biting you..." She mewls pitifuly

[mationix]

He let out a laugh, his shoulders shaking. "You say it so calmly," he teased, rolling his eyes to the ceiling.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Cuz... Bitig is fun," she nods and nibbles on his neck

[mationix]

He trailed his fingers along the nape of her neck, tilting his head to the side to give her more room. "My neck'll be completely bruised the next day," he sighed, "not that I'm complaining, mind you."

[CrimsonMoon]

She smirks and pats his head," So... Are you gonna come back to us?"
