As Lykca slept he tossed and turned almost nonstop. His head full of memories from that day, as well, full of images of what might have happened if Nudek was not there...if she hadn't saved his life. He awoke in a state of shock, to a cold sweat. His memory was kinda screwy and fuzzy about the past day. <span style='color:red'>Where...where am I? what happened?</span> He tried to move his arm but felt the pain jump straight up and stopped moving it, instantly grabbing it with his other one. <span style='color:red'>How...did i get injured? I can barely move....</span>
nudek was back in her former position. she shook her head. <span style='color:darkred'>Sorry.. i woke from a nightmare.. and found you.. in my hands.. sorry.. i didnt think i hurt you... um.. here..</span> She handed him a bottle. it have a syrupy liquid in it. it was a healing potion. it work alomst imidiatley on pain and healed a major wound within a few hours... she had been using it quite a bit lately... <span style='color:darkred'>Drink it..</span> She looked into the fire and watched as it licked the air about it. she was always amazed by fire...
<span style='color:red'>Ah..uhm...Nudek...ugh...my head feels fuzzy...</span> Lykca drank down the potion and sat, staring off into space. What had happened? He wondered. It hurt his head to think about it all. He only knew that he had almost died in Nudeks arms... <span style='color:red'>Thanks for the potion. hope it kicks in soon though...But enough about me...How are you doing? You look like you have been through alot today as well...Are you okay?</span> He asked looking at her, hoping she was alright.
She nodded slightly. she looked back into the fire.. dazed as hell... Why did her life have to be THIS way? <span style='color:darkred'>Don't worry... i'm used to it... I'm surprised you still sitting there... hanging around... </span> She shook her head and sighed. she looked from the fire, to the stars... wich slowly faded as dawn aproached. <span style='color:darkred'>-maybe i will be fine if i get out from this forest... to many dangerous things are in here...-</span> She thought to herself. She looked down towards the ground and took a deep breath.
<span style='color:red'>Why would you be suprised? I mean...you saved my life Nudek? And even if you hadn't, i would still be here by your side. And by the looks of it, we both need someone for help right about now.</span> Lykca said quietly as he placed his paw on her shoulder. <span style='color:red'>Lets just take it easy for now. Then at first light, we should get as far away from here as we can. I have a bad feeling that whoever it was that attacked us will return in greater numbers.</span>
She looked at him as his hand rested on her shoulder. A wind blew past as her nose twitched. She could smell them... All around them... She took Lykca's hand and pulled him up. <span style='color:darkred'>Grab your stuff... There here... The've surrounded us... We must leave.. NOW!</span> She looked at him, worried. A sound came from the forest around them. as if they were chattering to each other. A menasing roar came from behind them and the ground shook. A mutated 'dragon came from the group. It was a dark night blue. he camoflaged well in the shadows. The moon light revealed more features as he stalked towards them. He had a hounched back and blades from it's shoulders and knees. He had a metalic arm Attactched to his shoulder... <span style='color:darkred'>Holy.. were in trouble.. He looks like something from a horror film... or a highly developed frankenstien...</span> She stood infront of Lykca as the creature crouched and lunged forward. Nudek had no choise but to let her alternate personality take control. The voice in her mind chuckled. <span style='color:purple'>I knew you'd need me... Though it will have a price.. you know that...</span> Nudek mentaly nodded as the evil laugh came from within. Her body morphed once again into the very creature she dispised. She looked like the female version of the creature before her... Her oversized claws extended to their maximun as she blocked the creatures first strike. He was a smart type. Not the brawn over brains... he had both.. He was strong.. very strong.. overpowing at that. He tricked Nudek into blocking his first attack and kneed her with the blade at his knee joint. Blood spurted from her back as the long blade penitrated through her body. She gasped and gurgled at the pain. It hurt to much to screem. He pulled it from her body. the blade covered in blood. She crouched on all fours as her life fluids poured down her legs and stained the ground. He went to kick her again to the grond to finish the job and head for the next 'dragon when she grasped his leg... the blade inches from her neck. She let the power of the demon inside her and the force of the kick into her body as she lifted his foot and tossed him into a large tree in the middle of the clearing. She turned to him as he struggled to get up. OOC: im in a gory mood XD ehehe :P
Seeing Nudek transform once again...It brought back all of Lykca's memories in an instant. He bent over clutching his head for a moment, thinking about all of this...All of the cruel things that had happened to both himself and to Nudek today. He snapped. Lykca grabbed his knives and regardless of the pain he was in went to protect his friend. with practically unseeable speed he dashed and climbed on top of the monster that faced Nudek, and buried his knives inside its skull. The monster was practically uneffected by this, and tossed Lykca off of him with a simple swipe of its giant paw. Lykca flew a few feet and landed hard on his back, a large scrape up his side formed from where the beasts claw had caught him. He let loose a growl that made him sound like a wild beast and turned to the attackers in the bushes. <span style='color:red'>That one is yours Nudek. I'm happy with the leftovers.</span> He dashed off into the woods and all that was seen was a glint here, a shine there, and dark bodies hitting the forest floor. The screams that were heard from the forest were those of brutal death and agony of Lykcas attackers. Lykca emerged from the forest wiping the blood from his knives. <span style='color:red'>Well, all finished.</span> He said evilly, with a grin on his face.
Nudeks mind had been taken over completely... She no longer even saw what was happening or could even tell that she was the way she was. It was like a long sleep... <span style='color:purple'>AHAHAA!</span> Nudeks demon form laughed evily and charged blindly at the monster. Even with blood dripping down he lowr half and skinn hanging from the hole through her body, She lifted her claws and braught them down apon the creature in front of her. Her claws made a huge gash from the creatures face to his chest. it growled at her and made a wierd noise as it lashed out with poisoned claws. He puposely missed her and grabed her neck. He slamed her against the same tree he was hit on and held her neck with his large paws. She gasped for breath as he lifted her up by her neck and slamed her body against the tree again. She heard a few cracks as her back conected with the tree. She wasnt sure if it was the tree or her body breaking form the force.
Lykca leapt into battle once again, this time attacking the dragon itself, trying to get it off of Nudek. He charged and brought both of his knives down on the dragons arm, with such force, that the tips of the blades were showing through the bottom of the arm, dripping blood. He Pulled them out again and attacked again, this time slashing at the beasts legs, making it fall slightly, and lower his grasp on Nudek's neck, allowing her to escape. <span style='color:red'>Go now Nudek!!!</span> Lykca yelled as he slashed away at its legs and arms.
The creature swiped at lykca, not caring wheather he hit or not. he turned back to his original prey and picked her from the slouching position on the ground she had taken up after his release on her. Like a dark mist steaming from Nudeks body. Her form went limp as the creature held her to the tree... having fun killing her slowly. Her body returned to normal as the blood dripped constantly from her. The creature laughed and let her go. her form slid down the tree and face first into her own blood. The creature turned to Lykca to get revenge on the painless wounds he had inflicted on him.
As the beast turned Lykca got himself ready, and ran at it, at full speed. The beast lunged forward towards him as he ran. They met just as Lykca jumped straight into the air and flipped himself upside- down. The beast staggered a bit, kind of confused at first as to where Lykca went, then looked up into the air, just as Lykca came down, arms extended, and blades in hands. The only thing the beast saw was the glint of shiney silver as the blades plunged deep into its skull through its eyes. Lykca flipped off of it, and stood, watching it bleed from the eyes. <span style='color:red'>You lose then, beast.</span> He said as he turned and ran to Nudek in hopes that she was alright...Although he knew she would not be. He was scared for her.
The beast cried a blood curling screech as its punctured eyes bled and bled. blood dripped down his face. he held his hands to his eyes as the curling screem continued. Nudek was plastered with her own blood. still concious.. but barely. the hole in her mid body still bled.. she had lost to much... She closed her eyes and tryed to forget the pain as her body numbed from the blood loss...
Lykca got to Nudek and saw her there, pretty much bleeding to death. He jumped down to her and put his paw over the would, hoping to slow the blood loss. <span style='color:red'>Don't worry Nudek, you'll be fine. I'll...I'll take care of you...</span> In his mind however, he was wondering how he was going to help her. He then had an idea. He grabbed his blade and ran over to the beast, and fut a large strip out of its fur, and ran back over to Nudek. <span style='color:red'>This may hurt a little...but it will stop the bleeding. Hold on Nudek. Stay awake for me.</span> He said as he wrapped the fur around her making sure to cover both sides of the wound. <span style='color:red'>There...now relax. you will be alright Nudek.</span>
Nudek coughed up some blood as she smiled as best she could up at Lykca. <span style='color:darkred'>Th.. Thank you... lykca...</span> She knew she was as good as dead.. but to know someone wished to help gave her confidence. ~~~~ The beast was already dead from the knives hitting his brain. He lay.. bleeding from teh eyes.. and the skinless spot on his back...
Lykca smiled at her. <span style='color:red'>any time Nudek. Besidesm you have done more for me today than i have for you. For now, you try to get some sleep. I'll be here with you when you wake up. After you get some rest I'll see what i can do about getting you out of here, and back to some civilization.</span> He said, gently hugging her.
She smiled and nodded. she closed her eyes and cringed as she moved slighty. She closed her eyes again after looking at lykca and tryed to sleep.. <span style='color:darkred'>-sleep.. no pain...-</span> She said to herself as she drifted asleep from excasution.. ~~~~~ Later on she woke up with a grunt. Her body was stiff and hurt like hell.. She smelt a fire.. She opened her eyes and saw the fire... the comforting fire.. She looked into it weakly..
<span style='color:red'>Ah your awake...i thought you might be a little bit cold. So i re-lit the fire. Its still early in the morning...Too early to move you anywhere.</span> Lykca said as he looked up at her. Finally a sight other than him wrapping his arms in bandages. <span style='color:red'>We will see about moving you and getting you to a hospital when the sun comes up. that is...If you feel upto it Nudek.</span> He said, walking over to her and making sure that the furry bandage was still in the right place,
She chuckled and winced. she smirked at him. <span style='color:darkred'>heh.. bring it on...</span> She sighed and looked back into the fire. it.. seemed to calm her.. always did.. thats why she decided to learn pyrokenisis..
Lykca felt kind of faint. He laid down beside Nudek and stared with her into the fire. thinking about everything that went on today...About how two perfect strangers could meet and become friends close enough to save eachothers lives over and again. But he was happy...Definately happy to have found such a good friend. <span style='color:red'>Are you warm enough Nudek? i can go skin the big guy some more and get you a blanket...If you want.</span> He suggested, looking at her, trying to think but trying to let go and just relax as well.
Nudek shook her head slightly.. <span style='color:darkred'>no.. im fine. thank you...</span> She curled her legs up as far as she could and closed her eyes. She wanted sleep to find her again. so she wouldn't be in so much pain.. ~~~ She woke up to the sound of birds.. and the sun shining on her face... <span style='color:darkred'>Mmmm.... im guessing it's time to get up...</span> she mumbled to herself...
