† Blood-Stained Reflection

[Sheikra]

Sheikra shook her head backing away scared. Ears flattened to her head she backed away but only to stand by Lirael. She didn't want to leave but she also wasn't sure if what Kelri said was really true. Kelri had helped her and she wouldn't leave until she found that she could do something for Kelri. She stood by Lirael whimpering and shaking scared.

[Lirael]

Lirael paused and look at Kelri. His character had suddenly changed and he seemed to be aiming alot of negative energy towards Sheikra. Shielra had wandered nearer to her now. Maybe she was scared, she looked into Sheikra's eyes ahd looked into her mind, she was scared. Lirael merely kept a blank expression on her face. Kelri didn't really seem to scare Lirael, amybe it was because Lirael didn't scare easily or maybe because she didn't really see much of a threat to her. Well she was going to stand by Sheikra if Kelri made an movement towarsd her that could intend to hurt.

Then Lirael suddenly took her mind of what was going around and her mind focused on the nature around her. The leaves were blowing around her and the sky was slightly more cloudy now, giving a grey tinge to surroundings. An uncomfortable mist was floating over the edge of the bank now from the water. Lirael looked at it in observant way then kind of wandered of in her own world.

[Kelri]

He watched as Sheikra began to back away, but only towards Lirael, who seemed to be in her own world. The springs seemed to slow slightly, mist rolling from them as if it was overflowing the springs. It shrouded round his paws do he could barely see them, but his eyes focused on the things around him. The wind began to abnormally force its way through the trees, making the dead leaves pile past the wolf's bodies. Kelri stepped back and growled, his stomach loosening again, as if the presence was leaving, but whatever was happening, he knew it wasn't over. As he began to growl because he was tired, a throbbing pain sneaked its way through his head, it made him whimper, he fell to the ground in pain and lay in a twitching lump. As he lay, the pain travelled through his body, along his spine, this was the worst, it felt like, something had stuck a needle in his back and injected poison. It felt like his bones were being broken in half, imagine how that would feel, even for a God, it was pain. Closing his eyes tightly he saw the black wolf, smiling in a crooked manner his black pelt seemed to droop in tiredness. Kelri opened his eyes again before he would get a disgustingly spiteful comment. He stood awkwardly and began to shiver, he bit inot his tongue, making blood pour yet again from his mouth. But this time he didn't choke, only, neither did he breath. He held his breath, though his eyes were screaming for air, he refused to breath. Closing his eyes suddenly he saw the black pelted wold begin to panic. He ran around and screamed into his own mind. "BREATH kELRI! BREATH YOU STUPID WOLF!" Kelri did not breath, he kept his breath until the pain subsided, and the thoughts in his mind had stopped. But there was an eerie feeling around him, though he was concentrating on getting the evil thoughts out of his mind. How it happened, he couldn't even explain, how he thought of it, was this. If he was dying, he could no longer be controlled, for what would evil control? A dead body? No, he would leave, thats what he did..left...for now. He breathed deeply and just stared down at his paws, then slowly he looked up at Lirael and Sheikra. He was angry, angry at what, he didn't know. He felt like destroying something out of anger. For things that are destroyed, are always rebuilt. Kelri left the springs, they could follow if they wish..if they wish.

[Sheikra]

Sheikra tilted her head quizzically as Kelri left it seemed as though whatever had happened was gone and so was Kelri but the question was what had happened and why?Sheikra batted her tail on Lirael's side telling her goodbye and that they would probably meet again. She padded in the direction thatt Kelri had left. She was way tired and she headed for someplace to sleep.

[Lirael]

Lirael nodded to Sheikra as her signal of goodbye. Then Lirael let herself go with the wind that was blowing violently now. She just let go of focusing on the surroundings around her and let her mind right into the wind. Her appeareance then slowly 'evaporated' into the air. She then left the Opal Springs travelling on the wind. Where she was going even she didnt know. Maybe she wuld bump into the wolves she met here, maybe..
