You found me (War part 3)

[morgen]

Lucien held the hand of the young girl who he later found out was named Alice. He walked through a field and into a small town then walked through an alley that looked messy and horrible. Once at the end of the alley, there was an opening to another large field but this one was filled with flowers and had a large tree placed in it. It was like from a movie, a large, beautiful meadow that was too good to be true. There were many ways to get to the grand place but this was the closest to where Lucien was. This was nothing different for Lucien for he had been here with his crush. His crush told him that she liked Lucien but they couldn't be together next to the tree. For the past week, Lucien had been bringing Alice here and let her grow to trust him and him back to her. So, as far as Lucien knew, they trusted each other pretty much. Lucien let go of Alice and smiled at her and watched as a white horse was grazing on grass. He walked slowly toward the tree and felt the cool breeze. Once he got to the tree, he sat down and slowly closed his eyes, thinking about the time his crush found him here. He listened as Alice laughed as she played. Lucien didn't care to keep an eye on her for he trusted her and loved the little girl to death. For some reason, since he took her, he's felt calmer, more at ease. She gave him the there's-no-care-in-the-world feeling. He opened his eyes slightly and looked forward to find the girl when he felt a drip of sweat drop for his cheek then chin.
"A-Alice! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Lucien asked, freaking out, sitting up quickly.

Comment ~ Maybe, should could be hiding then, just then, the brother come by and notice Lucien caring for Alice but Alice being kind of scared or something.

[Hachiubi!!!^^]

[glow=red,2,300] Alice had to admit; Lucien was very different from what she had expected. Though he had refused to return her to her brothers, he had in a way taken their place. She'd given him a hard time the first few days that he'd held her captive but he'd been patient with her. She fingered the bandages that were wrapped around her arms where he had burned her and then healed. Her skin was still slightly charred but it didn't hurt her anymore. It took a while but she finally came to trust him and she thought he trusted her to.
Lucien's hand was cupped around hers as he led her to the meadow that he'd been taking her to for about a week. She was immediately captivated by the white horse and pulled out of his grip to go play with it. The horse whinnied and nipped at her hair as she pet it; then followed her around in a game of tag as Lucien sat down to rest. Afterwords, Alice went to go hide in the bushes, just to annoy Lucien a little and get him to worry. As she sat there, she found that with his eyes closed and him resting; she could just run away and try and find her brothers by herself.
Still the idea sounded a little far fetched and dangerous so she just stayed in the bushes, peeking out at Lucien. Since she'd been with him, he'd spoiled her a lot; playing with her and taking her out for ice cream. And she'd learned how lonely he really was. It made her kind of sad and not want to leave. When Lucien realized she was gone and called out her name, she giggled and stayed down. If one thing was really fun to do with Lucien, it was to hide and have him try to find her.

Ryan walked along the sidewalk, having lost his brothers some miles back. He hopelessly missed Alice; she was his pride and joy and now she was gone. Though through all the misery and pain, he couldn't be mad at Lucien. He was just too depressed to be. He looked up into the sky, wondering what was happening to Alice about now, wondering if she was scared and worried about him and Zak and Ralph.
Was she even thinking about him? Ryan sighed, continuing to walk. He would've been in his tiger form about now except he was way too upset to focus on transforming. He crossed down a road, keeping to the left as trucks and cars went by; his mind completely on his little sister. In fact so on her that he was almost hit by a truck. Ralph ran through, grabbing him and both rolled out of the way onto the sidewalk. "Alice will not be happy to know you committed suicide," Ralph said and rubbed his neck which now hurt.
"I didn't mean to," Ryan said, "I just wasn't paying attention." "Bro, don't worry about her. Zak said he thinks he has a lead." Ryan's eyes looked hopeful; "Really?" "Yeah come on."[/glow]

[morgen]

Lucien rose quickly, hearing a small giggle and having to smile himself. With a laugh, he walked around.
"Hmmm, where in the world could little Alice be!?" Lucien asked loudly in a fake evil voice. He stomped around and continued to call out. He stopped quickly, standing straight up and looking around. He was standing right in front of the bush but heard someone or something and looked toward the alley way. Lucien got down on his knees and looked down at the bush.
"Stay there" Lucien snarled, a familiar angered voice from when he had taken Alice. He rose to his feet and walked toward the alley and crawled against the side of the wall. He peeked into the long alley and looked confused.
"I swore that I heard something" Lucien mumbled to himself, glaring into the long path and starting to walk down it. He stopped himself and turned back toward the meadow. He walked into the flowers again and sat next to the bush.
"I fear- um... I think your brothers have come for you" Lucien spat in anger and slight sadness. He laid back in the flowers and green grass and closed his eyes.
"You know what little one? I love you..." Lucien said, half asleep but him saying the first thing on his mind. It seemed truthful and it was. It seemed like a few minutes later when he heard voices. He started to open his eyes and slowly recognized the voices from somewhere. He was still half asleep when he mumbled something. What was it? "Alice" it sounded like but no one could be sure.

Muse ~ Ok
Comments ~ I left it pretty open, I think. They could have tied him down. They could have beaten him and he woke up from that. Alice could be clinging to Lucien. *shrugs* who knows! LOL

[Hachiubi!!!^^]

[glow=red,2,300] Alice giggled again as Lucien began to 'look' for her. He was so funny, she thought and hid a little deeper. A minute later he was right in front of the bush and she bit down her giggles waiting for the part when he would jump in, tackle her gently and shout, "Gotcha'!" But it never came, instead was a very angry order; one that scared her. She stayed where she was until he came back and told her he thought that her brothers had come for her.
After that news, she found that she wasn't really exited about it; more of sad. She winced at what her brothers would do to Lucien when they found him. Especially Ryan. Lucien leaned down on the grass and said that he loved her. Alice smiled and crawled out, lying next to him. She reached her hand over him, which got almost all the way around him and snuggled on his chest. "I love you too Lucien," she said, "Your a really great brother."

"So where is she?!" Ryan shouted at the oldest. His blood was heated; he got his hopes up on a lead?! d**n it! "Calm down," Zak said, use to Ryan's temper tantrums, "I said that Alice can't be couped up all day in a house or she goes nuts. More than likely Lucien took her somewhere outside near here. Like that meadow behind this town." "So we should go there now and get her!" Ryan said but Zak shook his head. "Lucien still has Alice and he can still use her against us. We have to be discreet and get her first before he has that chance."
Ryan groaned, Stupid war strategy brother. Why couldn't I be an only child? Ralph put his hand on Ryan's shoulder, "We'll get her soon enough. And you know Zak's never been wrong in his efforts." Ryan grunted and lay flat on the floor; He hated it when they were right. "Oh just shut up!" was his way of submitting with his dignity. "'Kay then, we look out for them. Ralph, you go over to that meadow and check it out. Ryan look at all the seemingly abandoned apartments and houses. I'll go through people's houses and see if there are any hidden doors or such."
All nodded and left, Ryan through the window as a falcon, Ralph as a hawk and Zak as an eagle.[/glow]

Yay! I finished!!! ^^

[morgen]

Lucien smiled, wrapping his arm around Alice as she cuddled with him. He sniffed the air silently. He smelled Ryan but wasn't sure how far off he was. He listened on, hearing the voices, familiar. What was it? Alice wasn't reacting like anyone was around so it couldn't be any of her siblings. He opened his eyes and rubbed her hair. He glanced around quickly and noticed that no one WAS around but he hear voices, no, one voice. He tried to think about where he heard the voice before when it click in his mind. It was his demon. What was it saying? Lucien listening, understanding the muffled demon language that he demon used. "They are determined Lucien. They will do whatever is necessary to get her back." The demon was telling Lucien in his head, in his own tongue. Lucien opened his mouth, forgetting that Alice could here him but not his demon in his mind.
"I understand that. That's exactly my plan" Lucien replied out loud, feeling Alice move. He looked down at her and blinked.
"Sorry Alice, I was talking to... my demon" Lucien mumbled, sighing when he mentioned his demon. He sat up and grabbed Alice in his arms. He held her like a young child, her small hands wrapped around his neck, her head resting on his shoulder. His left hand holding onto her back and his right hand under her bottom.
"Shh, don't fret. I'm simply standing" Lucien said sweetly, as if talking to a lover in a whisper and rising to a standing position. His demon had silenced at Lucien's reply and he was thankful for that. Lucien slide the hand, that was on Alice's back, up so it was holding the back of her neck softly. He looked up slightly and watched as a bird flew overhead. He glared at it and thought that the bird was mocking him, "Haha, you can't fly or you'll get caught by the brothers. Haha, you can't fly or the girl might get scared!" Lucien bite his lip, not wanting to grow overly angered and so he looked over at the girl's head that was resting softly on his strong shoulder. He leaned over slightly and kissed her cheek.
'I don't know... should I hand her over and be in sadness again or never hand her over and let her grow sad- no, she'll be happy with me no matter what... but... what's right?' Lucien wondered, looked forward again. Lucien started walking toward the alley when he felt something. He stopped and glances around franticly. Was it pain or just an odd feeling?

Muse ~ Good
Comment ~ Tada! Lol, left it so there are three choices. His demon's coming out (unlikely but possible), one of the brothers appeared (from being the bird or just being near), or one of the brothers attacked him. I might be missing another option but I'm not sure. Lol

[Hachiubi!!!^^]

[glow=red,2,300] Alice felt at peace just laying there with Lucien. She was happy; really happy. Still she couldn't help but think about her brothers. About where they were, if they were doing okay. She enjoyed when Lucien rubbed her hair; it felt good. All was silent and peaceful then Lucien spoke. At first she thought he was talking to her, so she looked up. But he had been talking to his demon; thats what he said stumbling on the word demon.
Alice sat up too and looked into Lucien's eyes. "What did it say Lucien?" she asked. When he answered, she nodded and lay back down. She whimpered when he picked her up but quickly settled down as he began to walk along. "Lucien?" Alice asked as they went, "Do you have a family? Because you know, if you don't, we could be family too. I'm sure once my brothers calm down and we all talk about this they'll understand. It'd be great to live with you. Your so nice and kind and gentl-"
She cut off, looking up into the sky, a white falcon circling around the meadow. "Ryan?" she whispered, loud enough that Lucien would be able to catch it.

Ryan flapped, stopping himself in mid-flight. His eyes caught sight of two people down in the meadow. Alice and Lucien. He gave another flap with his wings and dove towards the ground, wings in. At the last minute, he spread them and landed transformed into his tiger form. He roared at Lucien, angered. "Give me back my sister!" The raw intenseness of it shook the ground.
His paws threw up dirt as he paced back and forth. There really wasn't much he could do, not while Lucien was holding Alice. He didn't want her hurt; her arms were hurt enough. He snarled at that thought. How could he had hurt his sister like that?! He trusted Lucien and he got a slap in the face in return. He roared again, louder and more fierce. "Give me back my sister!"[/glow]

[morgen]

Lucien listened to Alice's words that slowly pieced together a question that he hated thinking about. His winced when he heard the roar and slowly turned around. He felt like crying.
"NOT YET!!! NO! NOT YET!!!" Lucien cried out. He didn't mean to say it out loud but it came out. Ryan roared again, most likely not hearing Lucien's plead. Lucien's knees buckled and he almost fell forward but caught himself. He was shaking, from anger that Ryan had come so quickly, sadness that he would have to give her up, and another feeling, a feeling that his friend, Ryan, was growling at him. Lucien's head was fuzzy from what happened their last meeting because the demon was fighting to come out. Now, his head was clear and he thought that he understood. He wasn't sure why he had taken Alice exactly but now he would die to give her up.
"NO!" Lucien screamed back. His voice not covered with the sound of his demon but of pure anger. He looked at Alice and pushed her head against his shoulder, forcing her to stay against him.
"I'm sorry about our last meeting. I thought that you got the angel's dagger as a mission to kill me. I decided to take her, see if you would kill me for her. I don't care if you do anymore, I don't care what my meaning in life is... I WANT SOMEONE TO CARE FOR WHO I AM AND NOT WHAT I AM!!!" Lucien explained, his voice having the harsh mixed emotions, sadness and anger. He had learned about Alice's power to feel his feelings so he tried to stop his heart from pounding with the mixed feelings he had. He didn't want Alice to feel his pain but he couldn't stop it.
"My love is too busy trying to find the remaining griffins. My family doesn't love me because I'm a demon. The Netherworld wanted me to join them but it hurts me to think I'm bad. Sarah is my only friend, if not, acquaintance. You're family doesn't like me because I couldn't control myself! BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND" Lucien cried out, that tight feeling in his chest growing ever so more painful.
"I will not loose any more friends" Lucien concluded, not really explaining what he was planning to do. He looked at Ryan who looked worried and angered. Lucien got to his knees and let go of Alice.
"I don't wish to make any more enemies... this war has me caught between good and evil, what side is which, I'm not sure if I can tell anymore..." Lucien mumbled. He glared at Ryan then looked at Alice with caring eyes. He reached into his pocket and tossed a small metal whistle to Alice. The whistle was on a rope necklace and he nodded. He heard something and quickly rose.
"Your pathetic brothers are coming?" Lucien asked, slightly irritated that all of them were after Lucien at once. Lucien had trust, for most part, in Ryan, but the other two brothers made him stay on guard. Lucien stared at the alley and slowly backed up toward the tree.

Muse ~ GREAT
Comment ~ Lucien made a good choice but Zak or Ralph may come in and be like "WHERE'S OUR SISTER!!!" and not see her. Also, that whistle is hand made by Lucien, only he can hear it. If she blows it, he will come as soon as possible. He told her about it but never let her see or try it. If you've seen Sound of Music, it's like the small whistle that the father uses to call the kids.

[Hachiubi!!!^^]

[glow=red,2,300] Alice felt Lucien tighten his hold on her. His outburst conformed her thoughts, he didn't want to let her go back. She wasn't surprised at all; she almost didn't want to leave. Still, it was only right that she went back to her brothers. Ryan especially. He was so miserable without her. Lucien's emotions swarmed her and she felt every sad and angry feeling roaring inside of him. He was trying block some of it because it would fade somewhat then come back.
More of his confession, made her not want to leave him. He was so much like Ryan; he just wanted someone to love him, to care, to be there for him. Still he set her down, looking into her eyes with some amount of self-control and trying to look brave. "Lucien?" she asked, but he didn't answer her, not verbally anyway. He dug in his pocket, pulling out a whistle. The one he'd told her about so many times; his hand dropped it in hers and she looked up, smiling at him. She wanted to see him smile again but he wouldn't. A sound had caught his ears and he stood.

Ryan growled and padded over to Alice, putting himself between her and Lucien. He had her back, and right now revenge was very far from his mind. He rubbed his furry face into her tummy and she laughed; how'd he missed that sound so much! He understood why Lucien did what he did and he forgave him. For once he would put the past behind him. Nothing mattered more than knowing that Alice was home and safe where she belonged.
A growl caught Ryan's ear and probably Lucien's for he asked about his brothers. Ryan was sure they were here too and was right when two other big cats came out of the alley. He almost missed the first one, a cheetah. It had come so fast and ran for Lucien, knocking into him with its shoulder. Ralph, no doubt. The second one came slowly and didn't attack; a panther with black fur, dark blue when the light shined on it. Ralph growled, "That's what you get for hurting Alice!"
He turned, and padded over to the girl, pushing her away towards the alley. "Wait!" Alice cried and ran back towards Lucien. She threw herself in front of him, in the way of her brothers. "Please don't hurt him," she told them, her eyes fixed as if she were about to cry, "Please! He was so nice to me." All the brothers looked at each other surprised. Well except Ryan. He wasn't going to in the first place. [/glow]

[morgen]

Lucien felt claws dig into his shoulders and felt the claws rip out of his shoulders before he landed. When he landed, he heard a snapping noise from under him. He held strong, biting his lip from screaming out in pain from his broke wing or wings. He was about to get up and kick the cheetah but decided to stay down. He tried to calm himself down but it wasn't working must. He sat up and stared at the cheetah's angered eyes and swallowed hard with wide eyes.
"I-I let her-" Lucien started but quickly stopped and gasped for breath. He wasn't used to pain on his fragile wings. He was quickly shocked by the sight of Alice jumping between them when Ralph looked about to attack. Lucien reached out to grab her and tell her to move because he could handle what happened but he stopped half way and his arm fell limp at his side.
"Alice..." Lucien whispered, not noticing that he was crying. A little girl, sister of the people trying to kill him, was protecting him and doing everything in her power to defend him. He stood and wiped his tears away.
"I'm sorry..." Lucien mumbled, reaching over his left shoulder with his right hand to try and rub his left wing.
"To all of you... I shouldn't have lived as long as I did. I'm a threat to all the worlds. I'm a monster" Lucien rambled quickly, leaning down and killing Alice on the top of her head.
"I can't go up for I'm a demon and now can't FLY! I can't go down for I'm angel. I can't stay here, I'm not welcomed in the human world." Lucien added, slightly pushing Alice toward the alley. Once Alice was slightly out of the way, he looked at each of the cats and thought. He bit his bottom lip to where it bled.
"Ralph? The cheetah. You seem more mad at me. Kill me!" Lucien ordered, noticing the confused look on everyone's face.
"KILL ME!!!" Lucien screamed, stepping and Ralph's tail to where he could here it snap.

Comment ~ Great going Hachiubi... you made Lucien emo XDDD

[Hachiubi!!!^^]

[glow=red,2,300] Alice watched her brothers as they looked at each other, wondering what to do. Ralph, the most angry, growled at the very thought of leaving Lucien alone. He wanted revenge and was surprised that Ryan didn't feel the same. When her brother's started to calm down, Alice turned to Lucien who was on the ground in pain; she could feel his pain as soon as she touched him. She cried when she saw the tears in his eyes.
"No Lucien," she whispered, "Your not a monster. A monster would of killed me when he had a chance. A monster would've killed my brothers when they tried to get me back. A monster would've been selfish and kept me away from them. You were none of these things Lucien. No matter what, you're very human to me." Still, he didn't seem to listen to her words. He pushed her slightly away, getting her out of harms way. Then he looked at her brothers; Ralph was still pissed off.
Almost immediantly, he shouted at the boy; ordering him to kill him. Alice looked at Ralph, pleading with her eyes. He seemed confused at Lucien's shout but the next time he demanded him to, Ralph seemed ready to. Lucien stepped on his tail, snapping the bone in two. This pissed Ralph off more and he roared and jumped at Lucien. Or tried to. Ryan pushed him back and the two brothers began a growling match.
"Do you even care what he did to Alice?!?!" Ralph shouted, swiping a paw at Ryan who dodged. "I do," Ryan said, "But Alice forgave him. So I'm willing to forgive him too. He may have hurt her but he took care of her. And Alice would never care for someone who was mean to her!" Ralph just growled, his eyes on Lucien; staring intently at him. Alice walked back over to Lucien and hugged him around the waist. "Stay please?" she asked, "Maybe the world wouldn't care if you were gone....but I would."[/glow]

OMG!!!^^ They are such a cute pair!!! If only she was older! >< But anyway..... O.0 Don't Kill Yourself Lucien!!! You'll Leave Poor Alice All Alone!!! >< You big meany pants!!!^^ XD

[morgen]

Lucien stared, more like glared, back at Ralph. A saying locked in his eyes, "do it!" Lucien was caught off guard, Ryan was trying to save him from Ralph. After they growled at each other, Ryan showing anger and Ralph showing irritating and confusion. He suddenly felt something wrap around his wait and he quickly looked down. He spotted Alice and sighed, closing his eyes and rubbing her hair, completely forgetting about the world around them. He lowered so he was on his knees and Alice's hands slide up his back to his wings so she could feel the feathers. It hurt that someone was touching them but he didn't mind the touch of Alice. He heard silence, for once, nothing. Wither the brother's stopped fighting or even he was draining everything out in his sob, he enjoyed the quiet time with Alice. A snarl broke through his peace. He was laying his head on Alice's tiny shoulder. His head shot up and he felt anger surge through him and he had no idea why. His vision went blurry and he immediately knew what was going on. His demon never did like him to express his love and decided to break it himself. He turned toward Ralph, Ryan, then Zak.
"GET OUT OF HERE!!!" Lucien screamed, his voice seeming to break into a cursed echo. His eyes shone bright and he flapped his wings to cause himself pain, trying to cause the demon pain as well. A small cry in pain when he looked back at Alice who seemed so stubborn to move, as if she could help.
"GOOO!" Lucien growled, a pure growl, one from an animal or beast. He placed his head in his hands and sighed a demon sigh and mumbled something that he wasn't sure they could understand, for it wasn't meant for them. He was repeating that he was a monster to himself.

[Hachiubi!!!^^]

[glow=red,2,300] Alice hugged onto Lucien with all her strength; how she just wanted him to smile. She's seen him do it before and she wanted to make sure he did it always. Her arms touched his wings, going through the soft downy texture of it; she rubbed her face on his shoulder, liking when he rubbed her head. He's my second favorite person in the whole world, she thought, Ryan would always be first. It was peaceful, her brothers were quiet watching them.
Alice never wanted this to end, but her ears caught a growl. She looked up as Lucien did but didn't know where if was coming from. "GET OUT OF HERE!!!" Lucien's voice echoed and she looked up to see him in pain and slightly transformed. Her brothers backed up a little but she remained there, holding on to him. Maybe in some way she could help, some way she could make it okay....."GOOO!" Lucien shouted to her. She didn't want to but she ran away, towards her brothers. Ryan leaned down so she could climb up on his back and then, taking one last look back, they all ran, leaving Lucien alone in the meadow.[/glow]

I ended it! Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! ...........okay so I guess we get a next one right?
