The Hunt (Open)

[Krisseh!]

Anarante was hiding in a tree, watching the back of her fellow friend. She was excited, they were on a hunt, and it had been some time since she had been on one. She had her bow and arrows ready if anything went wrong. The wind was blowing and the forest was quiet, something was off. She hopped down from the tree, looking around. "Somethings wrong." She whispered to herself. She heard a cry, it was one of her friends. She ran to her, but was to late. Some how, a vampire had gotten into the land and attacked. Anarante didn't wait, didn't give it time to act on anything, she shot at it, but it was still to quick for the arrow. She saw that her friend was gone, she was as white as a ghost. She cursed, she had never missed, 'I will hunt you down.' She thought to herself, picking her friend up and carrying her to the village.

It had seemed the day had gone totally wrong. She was remembering how it was going so well, the sun was shining, it was a good day to go hunting for something, or even to play in the forest with the creatures. She held back the tears, she wasn't going to cry, she was warrior, not many cried. But looking down at her friend, the one she was carrying back to the village, it was hard for her to not cry. "I will kill him, I promise." She said, looking at her friend.

[glow=red,2,300]It was a nice blue spring day. The sun was shining, the birds singing and the clouds were moving from place to place as usual. And also as usual, Ryan lay in the grass, not moving, breathing slowly and watching the world pass by. His hazy eyes were on the clouds, watching them shape-shift from one thing to the next. He smiled as he watched. What it would be like to be a cloud, he wondered a lot. He always wondered when he had nothing better to do.

The smell of flowers came to his nose and he closed his eyes, thinking about his life. It was a boring one, walking around like a nomad, hardly getting enough to eat but surving. Once in a while, he got a good fight but that was rare. The hairs on the back of his neck rose slightly from the wind. His slightly pointed ears twitched from the cold and he pulled his hair over them so they wouldn't freeze. How he hated the cold. He turned over, closing his eyes once more and accidentally falling asleep.[/glow]

Anarente was sprinting through the forest when she tripped and fell on top of Ryan. She stubbled and then picked herself back up. But the friend she was carrying was on the ground, lifeless. She turned around and got ready to fight. She glanced behind her and then faced him again. "Who are you and what are you doing on my land?" She asked in a formal voice. She was trying her best to get this stuff over with, but it seemed the day just kept getting worse. She just wanted to bring her friend back to her home and let her family know what happened. She knew it was going to be a sad day and many more afterwards. She was needing to move on and get the b*stard that killed her friend.

"Now you can leave my land or you can follow me and turn yourself in." She said glancing around her. She could feel something wasn't right today, and she wanted to know what it was.

[glow=red,2,300]Ryan didn't stir when Anarante tripped over him. He had been in a deeper sleep then usual. Only when she talked to him, did he wake and look up at her. His eyes were hazy hazel and he only stared, as if he were dumb. "It's none of your business," he said, seconds later and closed his eyes again. Or almost, they opened wide when he saw the lifeless body on the ground. He sat up, going over to it and watching it with his eyes.

He couldn't fight the urge to poke it and he did, withdrawing his hand quickly. Her next statement made him smile. "To hell with either," he told her, standing up and facing her. She was shorter than he was. But of course, many people were. "I choose neither. I'll just lay here and continue my nap, thank you."[/glow]
