Cursed with Prophecy

[ForeverMischievous]

A red figure hovered through the tunnel, leading towards a large ball shaped room. The red figure was not human, but still had the form of one, it's skin merely red with yellow glowing eyes, and tentacles growing from her head, in replacement of hair, and several thin tentacles hanging from the right side of her neck. She had a worried expression, as her naked body floated towards it's destination, baring ill news.
In the room she was approaching, a tall purple figure was standing, staring through a large window section of the room. The room was filled with highly technological computers, and two other figures where placed in front of two large panels, with several floating objects in front of them, that their tentacled arms kept pressing about on.

As the red figure arrived, she landed near the entrance, and knelt down before the male figure.
"Most esteemed Councilor. I must inform you.. He.. Has escaped.." She spoke, with an almost booming voice, as she remained knelt, with her face downwards. The Councilor lowered his head, and slowly shook it with a sigh.
"Who?" He asked, already knowing the answer to his question, but not wanting to admit it.
"One.. Sir." She answered, pinching her eyes in fret. The man growled loudly, before he gave an outburst of rage, and kicked the table in front of him, before he turned his gaze back on the woman.
"How could this happen! You where supposed to ensure he wouldn't escape!" He shouted in anger. She whimpered and turned her head lightly in humiliation.
"I am sorry, father.. The Prison.. It.. Nearly blew in his escape.. He.. Has grown powerful. Much.. Much more powerful.." She whimpered, slowly shaking her head. The man growled and turned his attention to one of the tentacled beings by his side.
"Track One." He said, walking over behind the creature, as it followed One's projectile. He grunted in dismay, as he saw it head towards earth.
"Wonderful. Of course he decides to end up there... The Earthlings primitive minds aren't ready to know of us yet.. We'll contact that.. Special force of theirs.. Get a link with their primitive.. What ever they call them.. I wish to speak with them." He turned his gaze back upon his daughter, still kneeling where she was, still with her eyes downwards in shame.
"And you.. Prepare yourself for a journey.. They'll need someone to help them track down One.. You.. Have just voulenteered.. Bring nothing.. Go to the shuttles, and we'll have you brought down, as soon as we get in contact with the beings from earth." The woman whimpered and nodded.
"Yes, sir." She agreed, raising with another sniffle, as a tear ran from one of her eyes. The man growled again, before he turned his attention back to the screens.. "Have you got them yet?"

Emelia cheered happily, as she spun around on her chair. She looked like a girl at the age of no more then 15, yet she was centuries old. She was a Vampire. Not at all pure blood, yet she had the knowledge of a thousand years. And yet, she was more a playful little girl, then she was the wise woman she was should be. But the knowledge was there. If anyone wanted information in the SDTF, she was the one they came to. She had knowledge beyond her crazy age, and had a gift with computers. So if there was something she didn't know, she'd find out in seconds. The simple laptop in front of her, started beeping slightly, and her eyes moved towards it.
"Uhhh... What's.. That?" She asked herself, leaning forward in the chair, so almost lay on her stomach upon it, leaning her elbows against the table the laptop was on. She waved a hand in front of the screen, and the screen created an image of an even larger screen, where she reached up and pressed a button.
"Uhu huuu.... Where is this! Coming from!?" She chattered to herself cheerfully. "Better call the Captain." She said, raising in the chair. She pressed a button on the headset she wore, making a beeping sound in her Cpatains own.
"Eeeemilia here.. Calling straaight from the control room.. Over and out.." She had a moment of silence, before she realized she was supposed to ask the Captian in. "Oh yes.. Woups.. There is a call coming in, Ma'm.. From an unknown origon.. Aaand you'll be excited to know, that it looks like it's not coming from earth.. But... From outa spaaaace.." She said, giggling as her chair suddently dropped and she gasped as she bunked against the floor. "Better come and have a lookie!" She then shouted in the microphone, as she tried to get to her feet again.

XDD Emelia makes me thing of Ed from Cowboy beebop XDD soooo cute!!! XDDD)

the SDTF, or Special Division Tactical Force, was a large organization that spanned the globe and a little bit beyond it. They where an organization that remained hidden from all and any humans, even the president and other world leaders where completely unaware of the SDTF, which was made up of some very interesting beings. Not humans, no, but 'immortals' creatures that where seemingly ageless, creatures that where not supposed to exist. Vampires, werewolves, Dragons, fairies, succubi and other various beings where in fact real. Even Demon's and Angels, though they held no ties to religion, they where in fact the beings that created it.

The SDTF was invisible to everything that was human, nothing knew about them, but them, and the immortal that ran around the world. They where there to protect the humans from the immortals who would love to do them harm, a secrete organization that helped human's flourish even when they where crap-shooting their way to the dumpster at mach 10 speed. They where a silent benefactor to the human species, waiting for the day when human's would be intelligent enough to handle not being the top of the food chain. If war where to break out with the humans, the immortals would win, no matter how overpopulated the humans where. The immortals had better weapons, better bodies, and better abilities, humans where just lucky they survived the dark ages.

The person who lead the SDTF, or the Captain, of the area in which One landed was a woman known as Chandra Rosewood. She had been called Chandra because of her utter pale perfection. She had long perfectly black hair that was so dark it looked like it had blue highlights when she stood under the lighting just right. Her skin was pale and milky perfection that gleamed with health. Her eyes where a deep dark midnight blue that could hold and captivate anyone who crossed paths with her. But the reason why she was called Chandra, which meant Moon, was the perfectly white mark on her forehead that was shaped like a crescent moon, a common birthmark in her families line, but it always meant that person was doomed for greatness. Doomed, because it often came at a very heavy price.

She was eating lunch when the call came in, her eyes reading over a series of paperwork that she needed to fill out. She looked to be no more than twenty five, but had been alive for over a thousand years, one of the only remaining pure blooded vampires she was one of the most powerful beings on earth, and possibly beyond. She was a seventh generation pure blood, that meant her parents where vampires, their parents where both vampires, her grandmother and grandfathers where both vampires, all the way up to seven generations, a very strong bloodline ran through her veins. She sighed when she heard Emilee chatter at her from the small invisible earpiece she had in her ear, which wirelessly connected to everyone elses. Anyone of a certain authority had her connected to their head sets and she sighed, pressing a finger to a button laying just beneth the skin behind her right ear, beeping into Emilee's line.

“you've been drinking coffee again haven't you? How many times have I told you not to drink that shit? It make's you hallucinate.” but she got up, tucking her paperwork under her arm and headed to the control room rather than listen to Emilee whine at her. She headed in, smacked the ancient over the head, simply because she felt like it and could... not to mention the woman was sitting on her chair improperly, again... and focused on the computer, her eyes widening. “shit and Jesus.” she cursed shaking her head. “bring up the video feed and put it onto the big screen.” she ordered. The ten foot tall and seven foot wide screen was normally only used for football games and important conference calls so everyone could see everyone, today, it was used to communicate with alien life.

As soon as the picture flickered on, and the alien's voice began, Chandra saluted to the creature. “i am Captain Chandra Marie Rosewood, Captain of the SDTF Sector 42 Sir!” she informed him. “what can we do for you today?” that was so like a vampire, she didn't even bat an eye that she was talking to an Alien, something that wasn't even supposed to exist, then again, neither was she, so that probably had something to do with it... her being odd was a big help too. All the while she was speaking calmly, she was studying the alien intently, looking amazed at his appearance, humanoid yet clearly very much NOT, a human, or an Immortal, she had never seen something so remarkable before in her lifetime, it was stunning, amazing, and for now she was going to keep it to herself. “Emilee, make sure all feeds into this room are closed, we don't want anyone to know about this just yet.” she ordered, her voice hushed so the Alien wouldn't hear her. “this could cause a mass panic and that's the LAST thing we need right now. If I catch you telling anyone about this either I'll gut you and see how long it takes for them to heal.” she growled before turning her attention back to the alien.

(She should She's inspired off her)

Emelia pouted lightly, looking down at the cup of coffee next to her laptop, tilting her head lightly. She looked back and forth between it and the screen, eyeing the communication feed very deeply. "Well.. I have been drinking coffee, but that's nooot it.. I'm not seeing eliphants this time.. Nor am I screwing up a mission. And I'm quiiite sure that little blinking red light, is positioned somewhere between Earth and nowhere... Deeper then even our brothers and sisters have been able to travel..." She chantered on, as she spun around in her chair. She tilted almost entirely vertical as Chandra entered the room, spinning to face her. "Hey Chaaand... Auh.." She sat up straight in her chair, and spun back to face the screen. "Sorry Captain. But lookie.. The red light really is beepy out there, somewhere." She said, making a wave with both hands, to make the transparent screen even larger. She knew what the technical term of everything was, but she almost never used real words.

"You should really not take Gabriel's creations' name in vain. It's baaad luck." She murmured with an almost serious voice, at least as serious as it got with Emilia, even though she didn't believe in the stories either. She just thought them good reading. "Ay ay, Captain." She accepted, pressing the red beeping mark with two fingers, stroking them outwards to make the mark bigger, before pushing it through the transparant screen, making a large video feed go up on the big screen. But instead of showing there, a lght shined from the screen and to the floor, and instead of a video feed, they got a living picture of the Alien instead, to see it in all it's splendor. The being seemed old and rinkled, yet in shape like a young man. Emilia widened her eyes a bit. "Wooow.. I didn't do that..." She said with a silent voice.

"No.. I did." The Alien replied, his eyes focusing on Chandra as she presented herself. "I am very well aware of that. The Intergalactic Communications Center, has kept an eye on you, since you where born. A remarkable family you've had. My name is long and impronounceable in your tongue, so you shall know me as Divine, as must of the Earthlings I've been in contact with does." Emilia giggled slightly, rolling her chair closer to Chandra. "Uhhh it's been spying on yoou... How.. Much do you think?" She asked, giggling with an innocent grin, before she rolled back to the computer as ordered. "Ay ay Captain." She agreed, pressing a few buttons to lock off all feeds, leading to the other SDTF communication centers. "Ouh.. That really won't be necessary, Chandra.. Last time that happened, it made such a mess, and it took me Weeks to find all my parts again." She mumbled, before she leaned forward in her chair, almost laying in it again, leaning her elbows on the table to look up at the Alien.

"Your world, could be in great danger." This shut up Emilia entirely, and she just stared at the Alien now. She knew when to be serious. "The rest of the Earthlings, is not ready to know of us yet, so we have kept ourselves a secret. But now, someone potentially very dangerous, has come to your planet. Someone, out of our control. He is a convict, and the most dangerous of that kind. This means, that we wont be able to keep his position hidden for very long.. Bounty Hunters, will come to your planet, in search of Convict One, and they won't be discreet. They will kill whomever they have to, to find Convict One. His bounty, is now Dead or Alive.. We would prefer him Alive, but this is up to your group, and your judgement." The Alien continued.

Out in Sector 42's Camp, a hybrid lay on the floor, close to a small fire she had created. She broke small pieces of the bread she had in her hand, leading them to her lips. Her body was nearly like any other humans, except she bore a thick scaly tail, that could be hidden for others view, but never was in camp. Over her breasts, her hips and other intimate areas of her skin, was a scaly hide, that hid away what she didn't want others to see. She rarely wore a suit, because she enjoyed the fresh air. As she wanted to breathe, a long snakelike tongue whistled out from her lips, dangling in front of her, as if tasting the air. A man on the other side of the fire, also eating a piece of bread grunted. "I wish you would stop that, Slither." He grinned. She returned the grin, leaning a bit up on an elbow, as she stroked her legs together.
"You didn't seem to complaint last night..." She taunted, licking her lips with the long tongue. Suddenly a small capsule landed close to them, burying the spike of it in the ground. It was only just large enough to fit a human being. Slither hissed and almost jumped up from her position, shooting out claws from her fingertips, as she observed the capsule. She tilted her head as she eyed it, both her and the Angel tilting their heads at each other. Slither pressed behind her ear, chuckling lightly. "You better come see this, Captain." She remarked, not knowing what an important meeting the Captain was undergoing.

"I have sent someone down to you. Her ship was cloaked, so only you will know of her position. She is one of my race, and she is the one responsible for Convict One's escape. She will help you track him down, because none of your.. More primitive tools, will not do this trick. No offence to this, your race's haven't had long enough to evolve." He complimented, waving a hand. "Now. I grant the task of tracking down Convict One, to the SDTF. Your. SDTF, Captain Chandra. THis is of utmost importance, that this is done as silently as possible. Humanity.. Is not ready for us. Once your ready to greet your guide, your hand will open her capsule, and no others.. Do your best, and better.. If that is necessary to catch Convict one.. The fate, of not only Earth.. Is possibly in your hands." He said, bowing his head lightly, before his image fizzled away. As it did, Emilia pouted. "I don't think my computer is primitive..." She mumbled, stroking the laptop lightly.

damnit XDD you make me wanna watch Cowboy Beebop now and i'm in the middle of Death Note! curses Yeeeew!!!! lol)

Chandra actually looked surprised to know that she had been watched. “i... I'm sorry?” she asked, looking amazed and a little angry that her privacy had been invaded. But that was for another time, she shot Emilee a glare at the girls inability to be serious and tensed when it was informed that their world would be in danger. “Sir humanity isn't even ready to be aware of US and we've shared this planet with them since before THEY where even humans.” she stated with a wrinkle of her nose pondering the Alien's words. “you say he is Potentially, a threat?” she asked lifting an eyebrow. “and a convict? What has he done?” she asked, not about to go on a global wide man hunt without all the proper information. “i would like as much information on this person as I can get, mostly his appearance, can't find out anything if we don't know what he looks like.” she pointed out. “obviously you've captured him before so I would like the report on that as well if you keep reports.” she paused then. “weaknesses if he has any, those will be crucial, even if it's just a fear of spiders or a love of strawberries.”

Chandra couldn't name how many times she had caught dangerous immortals using their personal information against them. The more she knew the easier it would be to catch One without doing too much Damage. She examined the Alien, her paranoia twinging in her gut. “and if I find out that your using me, Divinity...” she warned suddenly. “if this person isn't who you say he is, if your not who you say you are.” her midnight eyes blazed deep red for a moment. “being in space won't save you from my wrath.” she promised before hearing the beep in her ear her head tilting but ignoring it for now. “i will go and great this... ambassador.” she promised the alien. “and I won't let this person, whoever he is, to harm us or this planet.” she stated. “if he leaves our planetary gravity there's little that we can do for you however. As you said, our technology is not capable of such things.” she watched the image blip out and turned towards Emilee, gently stroking the girls hair, she knew how much those computers meant to Emilee. “they are not primitive my dear, they are just not on par with that egotistical bastards.” she explained calmly before hearing the beep in her ear and pressing the button.

“This is the Captain, Slither, you may continue, what seams to be the problem?” she asked, not giving any insight on to why she hadn't been receiving any calls. “em, you can bring the feeds back up, I want you to alert everyone of Sector 42 to come back to base immediately, no matter the mission. This is more important.” everyone had long ago learned to listen to Emilee, Chandra had an unusual fondness for her, and the last time someone had made her cry, Chandra had almost killed them. “i have to go to slither, keep the fort alive while I'm gone.” that basically meant 'behave and I'll let you have a cookie'.

She headed over to the Elevator, which would take her directly to the Campgrounds, the opening hidden in a tent which was buried in a thick forest, no human would ever come across it, not without complete luck or being led there. “what the hell is that?” Chandra demanded, stalking around the Capsule, remembering the words that the damn Divinity had spoken to her and glanced at Slither. “you and your buddy back up.” she ordered. “in fact you better head back to base, Emilee is calling everyone back.” it was right then that Slither and her fellow Guards headsets would been and Emilee would order them back to base for an important announcement when Chandra felt like it. She nodded to Slither and shooed her off, the top base would be alright without a guard for an hour or two, they where only positioned there to make sure no humans came across the place by accident, or bears.

As soon as the two where gone she turned to the capsule and set her hand on it, running it down the cool metal outside with shock and awe, her eyes wide in astonishment as she tilted her head, watching it slid open and gaping at the strange being that spilled out. Red skin, yellow eyes, tentacled hair, Chandra had an instant uneasy feeling at coming face to face with something that was very much not of this earth. She swallowed hard and then her training took over and she saluted the creature. “i am Captain Chandra Maria Rosewood.. er, Ma'am and I am in charge of locating One!” she explained swiftly. “please follow me for briefing, your insight into the situation could be crucial. You will be working directly with me and possibly one or two others.” she wanted Emilee on the team, and slither as well as Tank. She had used this four man crew, including herself, before with amazing results.

“please follow me.” she ordered heading back into the tent, and leading it down and heading into the control room where a fresh pair of clothes where laid out, thanks to Emilee who had been listening in on Chandra's conversation as she always did, just in case something bad happened. “if you need to bath there is a showering unit just through those doors.” she stated before turning to Emilee. “call in Slither and Tank.” she ordered, waiting for that to be done before turning to the man who strode in, he was a traditional chimera, created years ago by an insane alchemist that Chandra had taken down herself. Tank had been in there, suffering. He was part bull and part werewolf, giving him incredible amounts of strength and brute force, though he wasn't the smartest bull out in the field he took orders well. The thick horns that curled around his head, even in his human form, where very intimidating as well. As soon as slither walked in, Chandra had Emilee cut all the feed again. “lady, gentleman, we, have a problem bigger than any we have ever faced before and I need your help, all three of you, to solve it.” she would let them register that first before she started explaining the Aliens.

 

[ForeverMischievous]

Divinity gave no heed to Chandra's words, showing no interest in explaining things to her. Divinity thought the creatures of Earth primitive, and was far from interested in having a conversation with any of them. Not even Chandra, even though she had been followed from birth, and had been chosen as a direct feed to Earth, should they ever need to be warned of something. Divinity shrugged off all of her questions, without even moving a brow, continuing his own rambling. Only the last words from Chandra was reacted upon. "Your Guide will let you in on One's personality. She knows him better then even himself. And your petty threats, won't do you much good.. Captain.. Should you fail to apprehend Convict One, Bounty Hunters will know of his position. And your world will be in danger. I am trying to help your primitive little planet, and should you continue like this, I might take a different cause of action, next time your planet comes in dire danger..." He explained, before his feed disappeared. Emilia giggled a bit as she spun around in her chair again, so the long red hair twirled behind her.
"Not much of a talkative Spacy..." She said with a smile, before looking up to Chandra. But she then smiled as her computer was complimented, giggling lightly. "I'm sure Betty would be better then any of those spacy machines, given time.. Wouldn't you, Betty." She said, even giggling at her own silliness, of talking to a Laptop, and now stroking it.

Emilia looked up to Chandra as she spoke, smiling widely as she was given orders. "Okydoky!" She chattered, spinning around one last time, before returning to her computer, starting to wave her hands, the computer making sounds as it was ordered. "Heads uuup Everyone!" She said to herself, as she opened window upon window, avoiding strange bird like shapes, that seemed to fly about on the nearly transparent screen, for no apparent reason. She looked back to Chandra and giggled. "Since when did I do something wrong? Except that time with the dancing flowers.. And the time with the Christmas songs.. And.. That time with the Jazz songs.. And." She continued chattering, even as Chandra left the office, returning to her screens as she spoke.

As Chandra made it to the grounds, Slither's bright green eyes stared at the capsule with narrowed eyes. It was clear her animalistic mind fretted this machine, having dropped down from the sky, still having her claws out, as Chandra arrived. She almost purred as she looked back to Chandra, her tail wrapping around Chandra's ankle, as a sign of affection and care. Slither was still quite young for her race, and had been with Chandra since she herself was an infant. So she always felt a lot warmer when Chandra was around. Slither looked surprised to Chandra as she was ordered back. She whimpered with a hiss, her eyes trailing to the capsule, and then back on Chandra. She clearly didn't want to leave Chandra with this foreign object, but she knew best to follow orders. She turned her back on the capsule, and walked towards the direction Chandra had come from. Her tail reluctantly let go of Chandra's ankle, and she was off.

As Chandra's hand touched the capsule, a blue light shined from bellow her hand, and a beeping sound, followed a sound of pressure being released. A door bridge slowly dropped down to the ground, followed by a white smoke. A bubble still appeared at the entrance, almost as if a shield. A figure then appeared in the white smoke, and the naked red woman walked out from there. As soon as she had left the bubble around the entrance, she gasped loudly for air, as if oxygen didn't work with her. As if she couldn't breathe on this planet. This was normal, her race had adapted a system, that let them learn to breathe on different planets very shortly. But Earth was rough, and it was far more painful then she'd imagined. She dropped to her knees, as her hand was placed on her neck, the two tentacles hanging from the right side of her neck twitching and turning around each other. After a few moments of desperate gasping for air, she started to calm down, starting to breathe air like any human would. She coughed a bit, before slowly getting to her feet, looking down to Chandra. At first she looked judging, but then she realized her father was not around, and a smile widened on her lips.
"Greetings Chandra. I am glad to finally meet you." She said, seeing it natural that she was naked in front of Chandra, having different customs on their planet. She listened to Chandra's explaining, and nodded a few times. "I know, Chandra. Keeping this mission as small and discreet as possible, will be preferable." She said in agreement, nodding a single time. "Oh yes.. And my name is Moonling. It is not my real name, but as my father probably explained.. We.. Don't really know how to pronounce our names in your language.. Heh." She said with a somewhat shy expression, before nodding and following Chandra.

As the two arrived in the control room, Emilia had just brought out the things, and dropped down in her chair again. As Moonling walked into the room, she widened her eyes and her jaw dropped lightly. "Aaw... She's pretty.." She at first gasped, before flying up from the chair, running over to Moonling to quickly grab her hand, before she could even react. Moonling gasped lightly, but giggled at the eager little girl. "Hello Spacey! My name is Emilia, but everyone calls me Emilee! It's good to have you here." She said, shaking Moonlings hand intensely. "And your Moonling! It's wonderful to see you!" She repeated herself, before finally letting go of Moonling. She giggled as the two tentacles on her neck twirled a bit around each other, bowing lightly. "Well greetings.." She said, before looking back to Chandra. "Bathe?" She looked thoughtful for a few seconds, before remembering. "Oh yes.. No thank you, our ship is quite sterile." She said, her curvy body being clean of both dirt, and imperfections. Emilia looked up to Chandra and nodded eagerly a few times, before running to her computer.
"Pweety Duo! Cap'n want's you in the control rooom! Hop hop!" She urged, as she spun around in her chair, having only put a feed out for Slither and tank.
It took a little extra time for Slither to arrive, and as she walked in, her eyes widened lightly. A soft grin formed on her lips, Moonling not having applied any clothes, had she not been told to do so. "Uhh.. Who's this?" She asked, her grin only widening a bit more, before she walked over to Chandra. Once again, her tail wrapped around Chandra's ankle, and her eyes listened carefully to the briefing.

Slither tilted her head lightly, as Chandra had explained about the Aliens, and Convict one. "So.. Let me.. Get this straight.. Hottie here.. Is going to help us find.. A dangerous convict, from.. Out of space? So.. It's just.. One man?" She asked. Moonling bit her lip a bit, clearly not agreeing to Slithers statement, but her eyes looked to Chandra, to be allowed a word, or to be asked. This had come from birth, that the highest ranked in the room spoke first, and no other spoke before they where asked, or allowed a word. And she knew very well, that her Father expected her to be nothing but a guide.

(Let's downtune how fast it's going dear We jumped a bit too quickly past the capsule, and I'd like to evolve the story, without breaking it down into several different time zones.. Heh)

 

[FoxWriter]

sorry XDD i was just so excited lol)

Chandra ignored the insults and the subtle threats. She knew better, earth was important to those people somehow or they wouldn't have been watching it and they sure as hell wouldn't have warned them of their impending doom. She smiled at Emilee and tapped her nose playfully. “and behave.' she ordered. “if I catch you trying to hack into 'mister spacey's' systems I doubt I'll be able to save your ass this time.” she teased shaking her head as she headed out well aware that whatever had Slither 'freaking out' it was no doubt the capsule that divinity had warned her about. “what the hell kind of name is Divinity anyway?” she growled, annoyed before shaking her head and walking out, offering Slither a small smile.

She had the same affection for slither and Tank as she did for Emilee, they where like her children, she had even raised Slither since she was a youngster, after saving the newborn from the grasp of a Dragon that had slaughtered her parents. “it's alright Slither.” she promised patting the woman's shoulder. “go on.” she ordered calmly, watching slither go with concern in her eyes. This was going to be their most dangerous mission yet, and part of her knew that someone was going to get hurt, and she doubted it was going to be the damn Aliens, in fact some part of her had a very bad feeling that someone was going to die on this mission. But a mission was a mission and earth was in danger and it was her job to fix that problem.

Chandra gasped when the alien did, the creature gulping to breath, Chandra rushing forward, mind racing to think of what to do, so she did the only thing she could think of to do, she tried to shove her back into the Capsule so the poor thing could breath. Of course every time she tried the infernal stubborn creature stopped her, making her snarl in fury. If she'd have known she was being given a suicidal Alien she would have demanded someone else! She relaxed though when the woman started to breath easier, relaxing as she hesitantly helped the woman up, scowling at the judgmental look on the woman's face, opening her mouth to bitch her out before looking startled at the almost chipper greetings, looking rather baffled. Clearly there was something wrong with these people.

“er... yes I am aware that we wont be able to pronounce your names it's already been made clear that we're all monkey shit.” she grumbled, grouchy from being frightened half to death. She looked the Alien over critically before sighing a little and leading the way back to the control room, taking a back way so that no one else would follow her or see the strange Alien. She had to grin at Emilee's reaction to the Alien however, nothing daunted Em's, nothing at all. “Emilee don't rip off the alien's hand.” she ordered patting the woman on the head as she called her two 'children' into the room. She could practically hear Tank grumbling about being called Pretty, but he had long ago stopped trying to argue with the insanity that was Emilee, he just sulked at her when he came in.

he did look astonished however when he caught sight of the naked Alien and a large blush spread across his cheeks as he blinked stupidly. “Moonling this is Tank, that's not his real name, it's actually Jacob Sterling but we call him Tank because he's big and a bit slow in the head.” she admitted, Tank grinning a little at the insult, the joke as old as he was. “pretty lady.” he stated picking up her fingers and gently kissing them, Chandra rolling his eyes. “and he falls in love very easily... would you please put some clothes on?” she complained well aware Slither was going to enjoy the alien a little too much as well. It was too late though as Slither walked in and Chandra sighed, shaking her head as Slither walked in and she quickly introduced the two. “Slither, this is Moonling, she came out of the thing that you found.” Chandra explained. “Moonling this is Slither, my daughter of sorts.” a silent subtle warning to the alien not to touch the slithery one.

“alright ladies and gentleman.” she stated looking around the room before yanking a dress over Moonling, sighing a little. “there, the alien is wearing clothes, you can stop drooling Tank!” she growled, the wolf, bull, human hybrid blushing hard. “sorry...” he mumbled listening now as Chandra explained what was going on and why the strange alien was there. She glanced at Slither when the girl voiced her opinion and shook her head. “this convict could be very dangerous slither, he has unknown capabilities, unknown powers, and unknown weaponry.” she stated simply. “we don't know what he looks like or what violence he is capable of and worse off we don't know what he looks like yet. Now whatever, whoever, or however he is we have about a week at most to catch this man, bring him in before bounty hunters swarm us and start mass murdering our planet...” she wasn't sure on the time line but she wanted this thing found and gone before the week was out, the sooner the better.

“now, us five are the only ones who are actively going to be hunting for this thing.” she explained. “to everyone else, they are going to be told that we have been contacted by aliens, that we are on the lookout for a very dangerous alien criminal. We are going to say nothing of him being a convict, or about the hordes of bounty hunters who are going to be on their way to find this thing, or about how their technology is better than ours. We can NOT let word get out about this. For now, Sector forty two is going to go into lock down.” she explained. “we are going to search hi and low for this thing and hope it's here, if not, we'll have to alert the other sectors of the problem, though I would rather not have them know, it could cause a panic.” she turned to Moonling now. “please, your insight, you are here to help us no? Never be afraid to speak up and offer advice. None of us have hunted an alien before and anything you have to say could be a great help. I would also like to know everything there is to know about One.”

Moonling was surprised that Chandra started trying to push her back into the capsule, not fighting back the strong Vampire's wishes. Yet the Capsule's bubble, was only made for people to go one way, so the blue barrier kept her out, forcing her to adapt to the oxygen. As she started to adapt, and get used to the oxygen, she gulped and put a hand on Chandra's shoulder. "Th.. Thank you.. But our race has evolved to adapt to other systems oxygen. I just.. Didn't expect it to be so.. Heavy. Here." She said, smiling lightly at the woman, nodding a single time as another thanks.
Moonling widened her eyes at Chandra's reply to what she had said, gasping lightly, and shaking her head. "N.. No no.. That's.. That's not at all what I wished to imply, Ma'm.. My.. Birth name is:" With a light tune, she almost sang a short verse, the words more reminding of sounds, but with a beautiful rhythm to it. The first part of the verse, sound most like Ashalah, Moonling was merely a nickname for her in person, because she was born in first light of the blessing Moon of their planet.

As they got to the control center, Ashalah giggled lightly at Emilee, smiling at the young girl. Emilee giggled cheerfully as well, nuzzling her head against Chandra's hand. Ashalah turned her attention to Tank as he entered, smiling gently at the large man, tilting a bit as she noticed his horns. It reminded her of the Arkthorian race, that One was also a part of, but she made sure not to stare. "Greetings." She said, bowing lightly before he took her hand, and kissed her fingers. She tilt her head a little again, the tentacles, forming her hair, writhed around themselves for a few seconds, before she cleared her throat slightly. Any of her race would know that was a sign of shyness or of being nervous, though the 'Earthlings' wouldn't. She then looked to Chandra, her eyes trailing down the woman for a few seconds, before dropping her jaw a bit. "O.. Oh.. Yes... I.. Totally forgot that custom.. I.. Apologize..." She said, looking down a bit, as her tentacles writhered around themselves again.
"Don't.." Slither said with a grin, as she walked over to the table with the clothes, leaping up to sit upon them, making them inaccessible, smirking as she did. Ashalah cleared her throat again, as the tentacles started writhing around themselves more eagerly, catching Slither's eyes. She rose her brows lightly in ammazement, before looking down Ashalah again, just as Chandra grabbed a dress from bellow her. "Auh.. Your no fun..." She complained, as Slither got herself a dress on. Ashalah looked to tank with a small smile, as her tentacles kept writhing. Slither crossed her legs, as the briefing continued. In everything she did, she had inherited her race's elegance and beauty. If one could see past, or even like, the yellow and red scales covering her intimate areas, she was a beauty beyond many.

Emilee had remained silent throughout the hole, but not stationary. She constantly spun around on the chair, looking to Chandra whenever she could. This was usual, something she always did doing briefings and.. Anything. Throughout the briefing, everyone else remained silent and let Chandra speak, and as she was finished, their attention was turned towards Ashala. She cleared her throat, as she prepared herself. There was much to tell. "Well.. I'll. Start with what I am.. I was born a Seer, of our people.. When I reached adulthood, a long time ago, I got the gift to link with some people. However, as very few of our race's women, I.. Was cursed. I could not choice who I link with.. The links are.. Random. Some links with happy family husbands, or perhaps a mere musichian. Yet.. I was linked with Convict One." As she explained, she approached Emilia's computer. "Ma'm.. Do you have a world map? Perhaps.. One in 3D?" She asked, leaning a bit down to Emilia. Emilia smiled widely and nodded. "Of coourse.." She said, stopping her spinning to wave her hand in a circle, pressing a few buttons as she did so, and a globe map in 3D appeared. Ashalah was about to continue, before Emilia stopped her. "Do I get a kiss then?" She asked with begging eyes. Ashalah chuckled lightly and leaned down to kiss Emilia's forehead, causing the girl to sigh happily, and spin around in her chair again, giving Ashalah a bit more space. "Hmf.. Wish I was good with computers..." Slither commented silently, as she bounced with one of her legs.
Ashalah put her hand against the 3D image of Earth, and as she did tentacles grew from her wrist, starting to press in different places on the glove, and after doing so she pulled her hand back. She faced her palms against each other, making a ball with her fingers, before increasing the ball in size. This made the map zoom out, and show off Earth's Solarsystem. She widened it even wider, and it zoomed out from it, and displayed several others in the progress.

"This, is where One was born." She said, pointing at a solarsystem, making it zoom in on it, and then pointed on one of the planets, creating an image of this as well. "In my vission.. I saw.. One grinning. Wickedly.. And then. This." She said, pressing the planet with two fingers, as two tentacles pressed a few places around it. This made an explosion of the planet, causing it to send a wave of fire into the solar system. "And it doesn't stop with that." She said, Zooming out once again, to show off the solarsystem. The entire system was shortly filled with fire, and as she zoomed out again and fastforwarded it, a black hole was created. "This creates a merging of systems. Dragging every system to this hole. Once the planets are there, they would collide, and this Galaxy would collapse. In fear of this, my race 'arrested' One as an infant. They.. Whipped out the rest of the Arkthorian race, to ensure.. This could never happen. A.. Brutal, and unpleasant truth." Slither widened her eyes a bit, but remained silent for now. "Pretty lights..." Emilee whispered as she stared at the monitor. "How... Did you even do that?" She mumbled on, Ashalah not even taking heed of her words.
"One.. Has been raised in a prison.. I.. Have not been able to do anything but track him down, for a long time, so I don't know his state of mind. We don't know his weakness'. His likes. Anything. We only know.. That he himself. Is a weapon. He holds the birthright of an Arkthorian Prophet. Legend, they call it. It gives him great telepethic abilities, far beyond my own race's comprehension. There is nearly no way to shield ourselves from his powers. He could be in many shapes, the Arktorian race being a Morph. Yet here, he will most probably have Morphed to ressemble an Earthling. This.. Is really all I can.. Tell you." She mumbled, looking a bit down as she tightened her fist inside the 3D image, of a burning galaxy, making the image go away. Emilee held her hands out towards the lost image and complained. "Aawh..." She pouted. Slither sighed and stroked her neck gently. "So.. We are looking for.. Anyone.. With power unimaginable... Capable of collapsing an entire Galaxy... This sounds like fun.." She mumbled sarcastically, looking to Chandra.

Chandra looked astonished at the name, her eyes wide. “that's a beautiful name, but it wasn't you I was implying where calling us monkeys.” she promised smiling at Moonling. “i'm sorry, it has just been a very stressful day for me.” she admitted. She scowled at Slither when she sat on the clothes and rolled her eyes as she smacked the girl upside the head for being impertinent. “behave yourself Child.” she ordered. “or you'll go without a bed for another week.” that was the whole reason Slither had been on guard duty in the camp in the first place, she'd done something wrong and instead of making her scrub toilets until the porcelain was stuck under her nails for a lifetime, she'd made the girl do guard duty instead. Not much of a punishment but it suited Chandra's needs.

As Moonling began to explain everything Chandra's eyes narrowed, pondering. “you imprisoned a child because he MIGHT ruin the universe?” she asked lifting an eyebrow. “don't you know anything?” she sighed a little pinching the bridge of her nose. “you slaughtered, an entire race of people, because of a single vision....” she had come across many true seers in her lifetime, many who saw the future and she knew one thing for certain. “the future isn't set Moonling.” she stated, her eyes flickering pink, not yet pissed, but still very angry. “you may very well have doomed everyone by taking the steps you did. Even children can remember, and if he remembers what your people did to his... well, then he might very well be out for revenge.”

“might be learning.” Tank grunted suddenly. “Tank locked in cage long time, not know anything. Chandra set Tank free, Tank want touch, smell, see everything.” he explained with a shrug of his massive shoulders. “might be, One only wants be free.” Chandra nodded. “let's hope that's the case Tank.” she muttered softly, replaying the image of the planet blowing up in her mind with a violent shudder, looking towards Emilee. “i want you to track any known falling space anything, including the ship that Moonling appeared in. if we can track those things we might be able to find One's course through our gravity.” she explained turning to Tank and slither. “this is going to be the hardest mission we've ever faced... and we're all going to be in great danger. If you want to back out... tell me now. I will not hold it against you.” “Tank stay, find One, save earth.” Tank grunted, smacking his chest with his own fist, creating a heavy smacking sound. “protect Mother Chandra.”

Chandra smiled as she gently kissed Tank's cheek. “thank you Tank.” she turned to Emilee and Slither. “and you two?” she asked, waiting to hear their answers, knowing in her heart it was going to be the same as Tank's, but wishing they could just for once decide not to help her and walk away, to be safe. No matter their decision, she had Emilee pull up the screen again and turned to Moonling. “can you give us an image of One, in the last time you saw him? Morphing creatures almost always have signature tells, eye colors, birthmarks, scars, things like that.” she explained. “on earth anyway. If we can find a way to tell him apart from all the other humans, and find out where he landed, we have a much greater chance at finding him.”

 

[ForeverMischievous]

Moonling looked a bit down, with a gentle smile as Chandra complimented her on her name. "I don't.. Tell it very often.. I'm not particularly.. Popular. Among my people. Thats why everyone calls me Moonling." She explained, chuckling a bit. She shook her head at Chandra's apology, smiling again. "I'm.. Quite sure it won't be the last time I.. Mess up this planets customs, or misunderstand something you, or any other says. The races here are all so.. Hasty. Even those of you with immortal blood." She said, as they where on their way to the control room. "Oh.. Not. That there is anything bad about that.. I.. Sometimes wished we didn't live this long." She said, almost sounding a bid morbid.
Slither grinned at the threat from Chandra, the smack not really having been felt. She held her hands up in a defensive stature, moving her behind slightly, to let Chandra take the clothes, but not without almost touching her behind.

As Chandra kept asking questions, Moonling's eyes traveled further and further south. Her eyes filled with shame, and every single tentacle of her hair, clamered close against her red skin, not moving an inch. Slither tilt her head lightly, observing Moonling's reactions, until her eyes started turning watery. "Hey.. Chandra. It's.. Hurting her." She said, trying to calm Chandra a bit down, to let Moonling explain herself, before she put more accusations with a 'you' in front. Moonling slowly shook her head. "I'm.. Just a Seer..." She mumbled, and after that remained silent again. It came without doubt, that she was immensely ashamed of her peoples actions. Her father's actions. She knew everything Chandra had said was the truth. Yet there was nothing she could've done about it. She was cursed with blood of the unclean, and a vision of Doom. She could only tell what she saw, and then sit back.

As Tank spoke, Moonling now remained silent. Slither looked up to tank, pouting lightly as she tilt her head. "If.. I had limitless powers.. That I didn't know entirely.. I would be trying to learn further. And if he's been imprisoned his entire life, and only just broke out now. I doubt he has any idea what he is capable of. And in that case, he'd only be even more dangerous. There might even be a chance that explosion will be here.. But. Not be on purpose..." She said, shrugging lightly. Emilia looked up to Chandra with a smile as she was spoken to. She had remained silent as the others spoke, having realized this was a bit serious. She spun around in her chair a few times, efore pushing towards her computer. "Oookydoky! Tracking Spacy Invaders!" She mumbled to herself, as she started waving her hands over the screens, only really herself knowing what the hell she was doing.

Slither smiled at the question, leaning a bit to her side so her tail could reach CHandra, wrapping around her ankle again. "You know my answer.. I'm helping you, what ever danger the mission might be.." She said, as the tail stroked up her thigh, before letting go again, but Slither's eyes remained on Chandra with a caring glance. She couldn't let Chandra go on this mission on her own, even if she was actually afraid of the danger it carried. Her race was extreemly protective over those they cared for. And Slither loved Chandra, and could never let her come in danger, without being there herself, or if she'd been ordered back. Even though Chandra was both faster and stronger then her. The only thing she really carried over Chandra, was her flexibility.
"There is nooo signs of other crafts, such as Moony's capsule.. Almost like he didn't travel in thingy.. Oh, and I'm coming! Who else would be carrying Betty?" She asked with a grin, leaning forward in her chair. Moonling glanced a bit up as she was asked about special characteristics. She slowly shook her head, and walked to the computer again. She looked down to Emilia, who nodded towards the laptop, allowing her to use it again. She put her hand on the transparent screen, as she explained, her tentacles still completely still, and eyes still sorrowful. She had never really come over her race's actions, caused by her vision. Because of her word, an entire race had been whipped out, and an infant ripped from it's mother.
"The Arkthorian don't just.. 'barely' Morph. They are the Masters of that, and there will be no way of telling who it is, except. That he is Coldblooded." She explained, as the tentacles from her wrists, pressed several places on the screen. "This.. Is the last image we have of him." She said, as an image was widened on the screen. A humanoid figure was standing in a well lit room, staring at the camera, but engulfed in darkness, so they couldn't actually see how he looked, could only see the shining blue eyes, and a faint blue aura around his hands. "And this. Is the last video feed of him." She explained, as a video came up. It was of a guard in a hallway, firing his weapon down the hallway, until a blackish creature could be seen nearl him, holding it's hands out towards the guard, only to pull his hands apart, as the guard's body was ripped apart as well. The creature ran so fast, that it passed through the blood that sprayed from the morbid display, and it was barely possible to see what it was. But Moonling paused it, and turned it a bit back, so they could see him before he disappeared. The creature was almost shaped like a wherewolf, capable of runningon two legs, but sprinting much faster on four. Only, this creatures skin was pitch black, and it had tentacles for hair, just like Divine and Moonling. "The.. Arkthorian.. Are a. Sister race, to.. Our own." She mumbled silently, reminding them that they almost slew kin, when the massacre went on. But she didn't try to defend herself. Even though she had'nt exactly commited the crime, nor liked it. It was her fault it happened.

Chandra paused when Slither spoke and looked startled as she examined Moonling, Chandra was kind and caring, but she didn't understand people all that well, that was why Slither was so helpful to her, the little one understood emotions and facial expressions, even in creatures she had never seen before. The Pure blooded Vampire grimaced and gently gripped Moonling's shoulder. “i am sorry, I didn't mean it like that...” she whispered softly, looking over at Tank and then Slither as they spoke. “i have my doubts he knows why he was imprisoned unless Moonling told him. You where his caretaker yes?” she asked, looking a little puzzled. “it would have been better to tell him.” she mused. “or not.” she muttered with a grimace. “well. The past is the past, it can't be changed, but the future can be, and I will do everything in my power to make sure that your vision never comes true.”

Chandra was no idiot, she knew Fate was real, she had met her once when someone had run off with her magical tools and started mass killing hundreds. The Black Plague had NOT been pretty, fortunately Chandra had been able to stop the man and give Fate back her tools, which had apparently all been foreseen and foretold. Chandra had only been twelve then, yet had easily beaten down a vampire three times her age. That was when the SDTF, already fully an organization then, had found her. “i do not know if Fate's Hands reaches as far as your planet, but I am sure you had that Vision for a reason, catastrophe might have come of it, but I have to admit I couldn't tall you what might have happened if It hadn't.” she admitted, wanting to comfort the distraught Moonling. Chandra liked her, she was a sweet, kind, and empathetic girl. Not like that blue bastard from the screen.

She smiled at Slither and wrapped the girl up in a hug. “thank you slither.” she whispered softly before smirking. “but, for being a nuisance earlier, YOU have to go and get everyone Coffee.” she ordered snickering, she loved giving her daughter a hard time. “i want Black.” Tank grunted, as he always did, even when it was him getting the coffee, though everyone in the room knew just how everyone liked it. Chandra's with blood, Tank's as thick as soup, Emilee didn't get any... “Moonling would you like some coffee?” Chandra asked before she whipped around to blink at Emilee. “didn't arrive in a pod!? Is that even possible!? Nothing can survive the cold of deep space!” well, that's what she had thought anyway... “and your right of course, no one else could carry Betty.” Emille wasn't allowed out on the field normally unless something technical needed to be done, but she did travel with them when they went to other sectors, or even countries. She was usually stationed in the hotel and stayed there, guiding the team whenever they needed it. But Chandra usually let Emilee out on the field if she begged enough and they all knew it.

“cold blooded?” Chandra asked, amazed. “well we do have equipment to register body heat...” she admitted. “i don't know if that will do any good... at least we can leave the cold places out of our search.” she leaned forward to examine the picture of him, sitting in his cell. “do you have any cleaner pictures?” she asked, looking very interested, Tank leaning forward, gasping as he saw the guard be ripped in half, his eyes widening as he saw the wolfish creature, Chandra looking back at him. “Tank? Would you mind?” she asked, no doubt Moonling wouldn't understand until Tank took off his shirt and grunted in pain as he transformed. He still had the massive horns, and a thick bulls forehead, the rest of his face and body was covered in pitch black fur, the anatomy of a wolf in an almost humanoid form, heavy hands and paw like feet dug gouges in the floor as he struggled to stay uptight during the transformation. A bulls tail, and a body so massive he almost looked like a tank bore an eerie resemblance to One. “... yeah that's just creepy.” Chandra admitted, Tank offering her a big wolfish grin.

“Moonling, do you think One would react to Tank? Since they appear to look so much alike?” she asked, her head tilted. “Emilee, I want you on news duty, look for anything about falling shapes from the sky, UFO's, the likes.” she ordered calmly. “if you see anything that resembles Moonling's pod, have it erased from the internet, destroy it completely so no one can even bring it back after you've erased it.” she ordered patting the girls head before turning to Moonling. “i have no idea how to start looking for this fellow.” she admitted. “... do you think he would react to you? He knows you, sort of i'd guess... there must be some sort of emotional bond between the two of you?” she paused and gently set her arm on Moonling's shoulder. “and don't worry... I'll do everything in my power to make sure he isn't hurt.” she promised softly. She knew that feeling all too well, guilt for killing the parents of a child, taking it in and raising it, there where many in Sector 42 that Chandra had rescued from bad parents, two or three of them had even tried to sacrifice their own babies, guilt was a ruling factor in Chandra's life. “there is one Arkthorian left... it only takes one to bring a species back.” she promised. “all is not lost for your brethren.” she didn't understand, but it was good to have some hope.

 

[ForeverMischievous]

Slither smiled a bit as Chandra reacted to what she said. she knew Chandra would never hurt anyone on purpose, unless they deserved it. But she was also very forward, which caused her to act before really considering what she said. Many took this to hear, Moonling being one, but as soon as Slither had remarked it to Chandra, she reacted and tried to comfort Moonling again. She only smiled halfly, knowing very well it still was her fault, but it was better to be comforted, then just told 'It had to be done', as her father had told her so many times. Moonling shook her head a bit at what Chandra said, not waiting to be given a word this time. "I.. Have not told him. Yet. He knows. When he reached Adulthood not long ago, his wisdom seemed to.. Evolve. At a unfathomable rate. He learnt about his powers. About his fate. And about his people. All in the cause of a few days. He knows what we did, and how. And. We have no idea how he learnt all this.. He just.. Did." She said, looking a bit down again.

She nodded a bit at Chandra's mention of Fate. "Fate.. Is not one being. You will see her as such.. But every planet has their Fate.. And their all connected.. I know I had it for a reason.. But.. I still wish, that it had not been me." She said with a somewhat sad expression. Slither smiled as she was hugged, wrapping her tail around more of Chandra's leg. Then as she was given 'punishment', she rolled her eyes with a soft giggle. "Whats wrong with a bit of spanking, hm?" She asked, grinning lightly as she looked to Moonling, waiting to hear if she wished something. Moonling looked a bit thoughtful, before she scanned her knowledge of Humans, finding out what Coffee was. So she shook her head, about to politely reject, before Emilee answered Chandra, and Chandra seemed confused. "No thank you, Ma'm.. And.. One did not arrive in a capsule, as I did. He.. Passed through space, protected by a barrier of his own creating.. And.. Yes. I am afraid, that is.. Possible.." She said with a slight frown. Slither grinned slightly as her tail let go of Chandra. "No need to call me Ma'm, hottie." She said to Moonling as she passed, gently padding her behind, before pushing her gently with her own. "Name's Slither." She said, with a smirk, her tail stroking Moonlings hip as she left the room. Moonling cleared her throat, her tentacles starting to writhe again. She never blushed, but this was how shyness was displayed.
Emilia smiled happyly as she was allowed to come, rolling her chair over to Chandra, to throw her arms around her waist. "Yay! Thaanks.. I want to go look for Spacy as weell!" She cheered happily.

Moonling nodded as she said she wasn't sure it would help them. "It will.. Remember. One can look like anything.. With your devices.. We can tell Human from Arkthorian. Since.. They are. Not cold blooded, are they?" She asked. But she then shook her head at Chandra's words. "N.. No.. We. Can't rule out cold spaces.. Akthorians doesn't need.. Anything. They don't need warmth. They don't need to eat. Sleep.. They are. In many way's, perfect beings.. And no, all his pictures is like that. As if.. A dark aura, is.. Always around him." She explained. She rose a brow lightly at the two, then watched Tank as he transformed. Her eyes widened a bit as she watched, tilting her head lightly. As the transformation was complete, she looked to Chandra as she spoke, before back on Tank. "I think it's.. Beautiful. It's.. Very much like the Arkthorians transformation. I.. Don't know how painful it was, though. For the Arkthorians, it's immensely painful. But.. I don't think he would react.. In the way you think, at least. He. Would be able to smell that.. Tank. Is not Arkthorian." She explained. She first seconds after realized what she'd said, and put a hand on Tank's shoulder. "Not to say, that you smell... Eh.. I meant. In your blood.. It's. Warm. Not cold like his.." She cleared her throat, lowering her head a bit, as she took her hand back.

As Slither entered the room, she widened her eyes a bit at the sight of Tank. "Uhh... I love it when you look lie yourself." She mused, walking close next to Tank, letting their bodies meet, looking up to him, as the tip of her tongue wiggled in front of her lips with a pleased hiss. "Here.. Coffee.." She said, smiling as she gave him his cup. She walked over to Chandra, offering her the cup in her other hand, as her tail reached out in front of her, where she took her own flask of Energizer, and then looked over to Emilia. "Emii." She called, catching Emilia's attention, sending big eyes to Slither and a smile. "Here." Slither said with a giggle, er tail throwing a Chocolate Candy bar to the girl, making sure the throw was out of reach for Chandra. Emilia giggled loudly and catched the bar, rolling her chair to the other side of the table behind Chandra, quickly opening the bar to have a bite. She wasn't really supposed to have candy, since it made her even more energetic, but Slither knew how much the girl loved it, so sometimes took petty on the thing, knowing how it was, when she wasn't allowed to have any meat. Emilia looked up to the order, as she quickly gnawed down the candy bar, nodding eagerly at Chandra's request. She turned the laptp around so it faced her, starting to wave around one hand, the other still busy with the candy bar.
As Chandra spoke to Moonling, a frown graced her face as she gulped. She listened to her words, but had to look a bit down as she finished. "I.. Wish that was true.. But. The only flaw with the Arkthorians.. Their genes are weak. The race, in fact, is rather weak. When they mate, their genes need to mix with the other hosts, to form a child. M.. My child. Was half Arkthorian. And lived on their planet, with his father. They are very animalistic, until they reach Adulthood. There.. Will never be a pureblood Arkthorian again." She said, scratching her arm gently. "I.. Have always told myself, that.. That it needed to be done, but. Now when I'm not around my father.. I'm.. Not so sure anymore.." She murmured silently. She then looked up with an almost apologizing expression. "I.. I swear I didn't know what they would do, I.. They kept me in the dark, because.. They knew I would object.. I.. I couldn't.. Stop them.. I.." She tumbled slightly, sitting down on the floor, as her tentacles went stiff again, her eyes glancing downwards. No tears graced her face, not expressing sorrow with tears, but the torn expression made it clear how she felt. Slither frowned as she looked down to Moonling. Her tail reached out, gently wrapping around Moonling's wrist, stroking it as she purred comfortingly. Moonling gulped, trying to catch her composure. "H.. He.. Will be in isolation.. It's.. All he knows.. He.. Doesn't like being around others.. That's.. What I know.. And he will probably react with hostiity, towards me, I.. I don't know.. I do know.. I would.." She whimpered, looking down to the tail on her wrist, her other hand raising to stroke it gently.

Chandra pondered what she had just been told. 'he just knew'. “Species memory.” she explained calmly. “in some types of creatures, what one knows, they all know. A werewolf pack, Lupe Garou, the kind that turn into actual wolves are this way. They know everything the others know. Perhaps when he reached a certain age, those memories became a part of him?” “could be psychic.” Tank grunted. “Lezbith... she knows things, can see peoples heads.” Chandra nodded. “that could be too, One could easily have gotten the information straight from your head Ashalah? You said he was unique, even among his people, maybe he has powers no one expected?” she blinked at Moonling and sighed a little. “we all wish it hadn't been us, but it is, and we must do what we can with what we have been given.” she smirked at Slither. “and you don't get spanking's my dear because your ass is covered in a nice thick scaly hide so it won't even hurt. And if it even did you'd enjoy it, not much of a punishment.” she taunted chuckling a little as she watched the woman scamper off. “Don't mind her, she flirts with anything that moves, give her half a chance and she'll see if your kind can bisexually reproduce.” she teased looking even more amused.

She patted Emilee on the head, looking amused. “i'm only letting you come with because I think One might react to someone else who's completely insane.” she teased smiling a little as she watched what the woman was doing on the screen, Tank Grimacing as the cold places where put back on the list. “is Very painful.” Tank explained to Moonling. “Tank used to pain.” “he was created out of pain.” Chandra explained. “for the first ten years of his life he was experimented on so he doesn't feel pain the way most creatures do. It takes a hell of a lot to actually hurt tank. It's why he's called Tank.” she admitted looking amused as Moonling started to stutter, Tank letting out a huffing Laugh. “no no, Tank smells.” he purred looking amused. “smells like lilies n roses.” “more like rotting garbage and a three month old port-a-potty.” Chandra stated simply, Tank laughing again as he patted Moonling on the head gently. “Pretty one not be so nervous, is good place here, bad words hurt not so much.” he promised Chandra smiling.

“he's right Moonling, you need to relax. If you hurt our feelings we'll tell you and explain why it hurt, not everything you say is going to be an insult, I promise.” she stated smiling as Slither came back in and rubbed against Tank who purred happily and ruffled her head and ran his tongue, sloppily, up the side of her face just to gross her out as he accepted his coffee, groaning as he shifted back into human form, accepting the pants Chandra tossed him as she accepted her own coffee, sighing a little as she shook her head, watching the candy bar fly through the air, smacking Slither upside the head again for it. “you get that ONE candy bar Emilee.” she ordered her eyes narrowed a little, allowing it since taking it away was more trouble than it was worth. “we need you focused, not bouncing up the walls and off the ceiling.” she paused when Moonling started to speak and her eyes widened in horror.

“oh god.. Ashalah “ she whispered suddenly grabbing the woman into a tight hug, holding her close, comforting him as she ran a hand over her hair... tentacles, simply holding her close. “shhh, it's alright.” she whispered softly. “you couldn't have stopped him little one... what was done, has been done, we will help you find One, and then, if you want, you can stay here with us, away from your father.” she promised. “i'm not about to let some alien dictator what I can and can't do on my own planet.” she promised gently stroking the Alien's cheek. “if One will be in isolation we can probably rule out the large cities.... Slither!” she stated snapping her fingers suddenly. “Give One a proper name, I'm tired of calling him One, he might be a convict but he's still a person.” she decided gently kissing Moonling's forehead. “everything will be alright in the end, I am sure.”

 

[ForeverMischievous]

Moonling listened intently to their words, realizing this could be resembled with another Species their race had discovered in her first millennial. She slowly nodded, realizing this might've been why. Her father had never thought much into it, always been ignorant towards One's evolution. And this, she had never thought of. Then again, she was also still young. "That.. Might be, yes.. I've.. Had sessions with him. Where we've spoken. He has always seemed.. Wise. On things he shouldn't know. Things he couldn't have learnt, before imprisoned. He.. Might very well be psychic. It is not shared memory, their race didn't inherit it. Then again. Then that.. Could be another thing unique to him.." She mumbled her last words more or less to herself as she pondered.
Slither pouted lightly, looking over her shoulder as she walked out. "I can still feel it.. And.. I could also pretend I disliked it?" She winked, looking forward as the door opened before her. "Your no fun." She said with a giggle, before vanishing. As she was gone, Moonling cleared her throat again, looking back at Chandra after having followed Slither with her eyes. "W.. We can..." She said silently, her tentacles writhing among each other again, a small smile on her lips.

Emilia giggled as she spun around in the chair again. "Oh but I'm not insane... He might react to my Superior knowness! Or my Charms..." She said, smirking slightly as the chair almost tilted again, giggling as she caught her balance. Moonling chuckled with her eyes down on Emilia, before looking to Tank as he explained. She frowned slightly at first at the story, before putting a hand on Tank's shoulder. She then giggled at Tank's response to her hesitation, her tentacles again writhing among each other. She desperately hoped no one had noticed what that meant yet. Then as she was patted, the tentacles at first tried to avoid the big hand, before they instead pricked against it with his second pad, and as he took his hand away, they had started trying to wrap around his fingers. She cleared her throat as she ran a hand through her hair, to make it relax again. She would be burning red on her cheeks now, if their race even had that function. "I'll.. Try to remember that.." She said, chuckling a single time.

Slither giggled as she was licked, her tongue hissing happily, as her tail smacked Tank's behind, drying off Tank's drool from her cheek. "So charming." She said with a small gentle grin up to him, before she quickly kissed his lips. Slither had always been tempting towards everyone, and anyone. She had never judged anyone on their appearance, and was gentle to anyone who was so towards her. Slither grinned a bit as she was smacked, and Emilia mumbled happily as she opened the candy bar. "Don't tell me you can resist that pretty little face..." Slither said with another grin, and a wink towards Emilia, who had already managed to smother a bit of chocolate over the side of her upper lip. She giggled and smiled widely, before continuing with her bar. "Nooot jumping that much.. Maybe only a little.." She stated, grinning a bit as she continued, before looking up to Moonling as she almost tripped.

Moonling almost gasped as she was caught, and then hugged so gently. She first seemed startled, never having been comforted in this way before. She was a shunned offspring among their race, which was also why she had found her love among the Akthorian race. The first tentacles that Chandra's hand touched, pulled back almost nervously, before thy reached out again, and as her hand was in Moonling's hair, the tentacles started stroking and wrapping around and between Chandra's fingers, as if they wanted to do anything to keep the hand there, to keep the comforting touch. Moonling seemed surprised again, as she was offered to stay on Earth. She gently bit her lip, closing her eyes as she begged that would be possible, even though every part of her being, told her that her father would never allow this. And if she tried to hide here, she'd merely endanger more of Earth inhabitants. "Th.. Thank you.." She murmured silently, as one of her hands stroked Chandra's back in return, just as the larger tentacles of her neck, started stroking Chandra's arm as well. A sign of comfort among her people. Slither giggled a bit, not pulling back her tail right away, and instead of pulling it back entirely, it caressed down Chandra's hip and thigh. Moonling giggled a bit, and then looked to Chandra as she called for a name to him. She pouted thoughtfully a bit, before remembering something. "He.. Mentioned a name a few times.. 'Sear'. We never took to call him this, and it wasn't in a context with.. Anything burning. So. Perhaps that is what he calls himself?" She suggested. She didn't let go of Chandra, before Chandra let go of her.

Emilia's hand suddenly shot into the air. "Uh uh! I've found something! Lookie!" She called, before shooting an image up on the large screen. The image was of a dancing bear. It took Emilia almost a minute to realized it wasn't what she wanted to show, even though she was staring at is as well. "Woups.. Not that one.." Moonling had looked confused, before giggling as she changed the image. Emilia fiddled a bit with her own screen, before sending another image on the big one. "Lookie, Lookie, see?" She pointed on a map of the largest forest near Sector 42's main base. There was nothing clear on the screen, at least nothing out of the ordenary to the naked eye. But Moonling's eyes narrowed, seemingly catching something. "What? What Emilee, your clearly seeing something, we ain't..." Slither complained with a giggle. "Ouh.. Lookie better!" Emilia complained, walking over to the screen, pointing at a tiny blue spot. "It was Clickedied not long ago.." She said. Moonling nodded a few times. "That does look like the kind of barrier O.. Sear. Would have up. The blue glow? It.. Might very well be him, if not a flicker of the screen." She said. "My screenie no Flickie..." Emilia complained.

because i'm an idiot and can't figure it out, what is Slither?)

Chandra smirked at her families craziness and shook her head a little. “Em, you are completely insane.” she teased looking amused yet again. “but it's a good insane so it's ok.” she promised chuckling a little as she watched the testicles wrap around Tanks hand. “hair has a mind of it's own hmm?” she asked looking curiously at the alien, wondering if she really got so little affection that her very hair was trying to get as much loving attention as it could. She rolled her eyes at Moonling and Tank's affections and grinned a little as she watched Emilee eating the chocolate bar, shaking her head again. “my entire family is insane.” she complained to Moonling. “your the sanest person in the room and your an alien.” she complained sighing a little. “this is going to be a long ass day.” she grumbled.

She felt warm inside as she comforted Moonling, enjoying the sensations of the tentacles on her hands and she wondered why this was why she had never found love, because she had been looking in the wrong places, should have been looking in outer space. Still she wasn't going to try and date Moonling, that would only cause serious problems, especially if that freak from the holo found out, she had a feeling the real reason why Divinity destroyed all the Arkthorian's was just to punish his daughter for finding a brief bit of happiness. She offered her daughter a small smile when her tail ran down her hip and thigh and gently released Moonling, stroking her cheek gently. “you never need hide your feelings here Ashalah.” she promised softly. “we are all family here, and we will help you, in whatever way we can, through the pain.” she promised gently kissing the girls forehead, wrapping her fingers in the woman's, Tank suddenly standing behind her, his hand on her shoulder, offering comfort as well.

“Sear?” she asked her head tilted. “hmm, I like it, it fits the blue aura around his hands.” she admitted nodding a little. “alright so Sear it is. If he's been recluse all his life, being called by name might help us connect to him.” she admitted nodding a little before looking at Emilee when she called for attention, turning her sharp eyes to the screen, picking out the blue dot before anyone else did. “Emilee can you enhance and clean up that image any more?” she wasn't sure if Emilee could on something so small, though the woman had been able to clean up a face from a blurry video recording but how would she fare against alien technology. She studied the blue dot intently and then the location of where it was and nodded. “that's just at the edge of out territory.” she admitted calmly, licking her lips. “we don't want to frighten him.” she admitted glancing at Emilee. “start up every camera in that section.” she ordered calmly. In the woods and in fact everywhere in Sector 42 there where camera's and video surveillance recorders all over the place, leaving no blind spot. If sear was in those woods, the camera's would catch him and keep an eye on him for the SDTF.

“we don't want to frighten him.” she explained, voicing her reasons for not rushing out there right away. “we want him to get used to Earth's atmosphere and the planet before we rush in there and try to talk to him. If we go after him now he might panic and then all hell will break loose... if he's been solitary all his life, he might be looking for something to become friends with, even just an animal or a rock.” she was used to the behaviors of solitudes, many of the children she had rescued had been kept in dark places with no one to talk to but their captors. They often made friends with mice, rocks, and one little girl even became attached to a clump of dirt on the floor. “if he makes contact with something and befriends it we'll have to be very careful not to harm or damage it, it will make him very distraught.” she explained, scanning the camera angles for any sign of Sear. “does anyone see him?”

 

[ForeverMischievous]

(She is a Dragon. Yet she can't take complete human form, resembling a hybrid when trying. Only thing she can hide of how she looks now, is her tail. Her scales will always be there. She has an ability to harden them for protection, and then she can transform into a Dragon. Yet not very powerful yet, she is still a young Dragon )

Emilia giggled at Chandra's words, chewing down her chocolate bar, tilting her head from side to side a few times. "Perhaps a itsy tini bit... Yes.. Good kind of insanity. That excists! Perhaps One... I mean.. Sear is so too? Hm.." Emilia entered one of her thinking faces, just spinning around in her chair, with a wondering stare towards the ceiling. Moonling cleared her throat lightly, with a soft giggle, at the mention of her tentaclly hair, now writhing even in between Tank's fingers. "Y.. Yes.. It.. Sort of.. Has a life of it's own.. Which.. Is sometimesa curse as well.. It's.. Pinched and whipped my fathers hand a few times.. Got me in trouble more times then I can count..." She mumbled, chuckling a single time, as she looked a bit down. Slither rose a brow as her tail gently whipped Chandra's hip. "Hey! I'm mildly sane..." She objected, grinning lightly. Moonling smiled and looked back at Tank, and then over to Emilia, slowly shaking her head. "I find them.. Comforting.. A family like this.. It.. Must be wonderful." She whispered silently, more or less to herself, with a wanting smile. She quickly whipped that off of her face, realizing she would never be part of something like this. It was not her place. That. Was by her fathers side.

As Ashalah was in Chandra's arms, her tentacles stopped forcing the comfort, instead almost stroking Chandra's hand with care, offering affection in a way they hadn't done before. Not demanding it, nearly accepting it and instead gently begging for it not to stop. But it couldn't persist. It never had, and she feared it never would. Love was out of her reach, as long as her father was there. Her father would always bare an eye over her, even once Sear had been dealt with. He would expect her to link with another dangerous murderer. Another wickedness, that needed striking down. As Chandra pulled away, the tentacles kept in touch with the hand as long as they could, before falling back upon their rest on Ashalahs head, no longer writhing menacingly in discomfort, but stroking each other with happiness. She opened her eyes again as she felt the warm hand against her cheek, her yellow eyes almost glowing with warmth as she smiled. The tentacles started writhing among each other again, but not as menacingly as when she felt bad about her shyness. Her eyes shortly glanced to Tank's hand, as the tentacles from her neck gently stroked it, before she looked back to him with a smile. "Thanks.." She said silently, looking back to Chandra with the same smile, her eyes showing deep gratitude for those simple words. She tilt her head a bit, at the rather crude interpertation of her name, realizing how beautiful it sound in the human language. "Ashalah.. I.. Like that name.." She murmured, smiling as she looked a bit down for a second, before looking back to Chandra.

Ashalah nodded as they agreed to his name, even though she wasn't sure it was really it. But it was the closest they would ever get to a real name, so it would be what they sticked with. "It might.. I really hope we will be able to connect with him. I do not wish any harm to fall upon the last Arkthorian. They've suffered enough. I. Desperately hope for a peaceful solution to this. Yet.. I fear the worst from my father. Ashalah looked to Chandra as she asked for an enhancement, slowly shaking her head a bit. "I doubt we'll see anything else then a blue dot. The barrier's he create, are too powerful to see through. But I can assure you.. That is Sear." Ashalah mumbled, still looking to the screen. The image was enhanced, everything around the dot getting much clearer, but the blue dot just getting more blue. Emilia looked up as she was ordered to do something else, nodding eagerly as she pushed her chair to a monitor near the opposite wall, pressing a few buttons. "Aaaand Camera's on!" She said with a happy smile, pushing back to her laptop. "They'll look for moviements as well.. Anything.. Bigger then leaves falling, of course..." She said to herself, giggling as she stared at the screen with big eyes.

Ashalah nodded a few times, looking back to the screens again. "Perhaps.. My father would've never suggested such a thing.. But he sees evil in all things. Yet.. I do not think he would seek a friend in primitive form.. If anything.. He would find life to befriend.. Animals of this Earth, perhaps. Or.. One with his mind, he'd be able to befriend two parts, or knowledge bases with each other..." She said, shrugging lightly. Emilia looked up to Ashalah with a tilted head and thinking expression. "That.. Would be so cool... That's a whole new level of..." She silenced herself, as a beeping popped up in her ear, her eyes turning back to her screens. "Ou! Movement on camera one two five! Widening screen!" She said to herself, as she pushed an image in front of her, in the direction of the big screen on the end wall. On the camera, a figure was walking through the glass on the ground, in the far distance of the camera. The figure was now humanoid, but covered in the same dark aura, as in the picture from his cell. The figure stopped walking, as it's eyes moved towards the camera. The figure changed form in almost an instant, showing no signs of pain, now the figure in a form, much resembling a werewolf once again. The figure then started flowing in the direction of the camera, before floating bellow it's view. "Ouh..." Emiee said to herself, pressing a button to make the camera move a bit downwards, before meeting Sear's face head on, the dark red eyes staring into the camera, only inches away from it's lens. Slither gasped an leaned her head a bit back, shocked of the dark image suddenly on the screen, and Emilee almost cowered down by the creatures wicked stare and wide grin. Ashalah's eyes was filled with sorrow, with an almost sorry expression.
"Chandraa..." A voice whispered in Chandra's head, that none other could hear. And with a blink of Chandra's eye, she suddenly saw herself in an empty dark space.

"Chandraa" The voice whispered again. "Chandra!" It then suddenly shouted, as Sear appeared only inches away from Chandra. Yet she could not move to intercept, or even to falter away from the dark creature, now before her. There was no longer a grin, gracing those dark lips, only a cold serious stare. "Chandra. You've been tasked to track me down, and you know why. Yet.. There is something.. That you could never imagine. Without watching it.. From my eyes." The dark, distorted voice spoke in Chandra's eyes, without Sear's lips moving. "You need to see, what I've felt. See, what I've seen. See.. What I've heard my ancestors tell.." The voice spoke again, as Sear slowly approached, the still stunned Chandra, unable to move in this trance, Sear had put upon her. And as Sear merged with her, she'd feel a pain strike through her Vampire heart, as a vision of Tank, valiently fighting off several Anurian's. Ashalah's race. Defending a wounded Slither, and a crying Emilia. Tank fought, only until a glowing spear, pierced his heart, and the strong Bull fell to the ground. "No! Why!?" Emilia screamed, crawling backwards as the dark figures of the Anurian's approached both Slither and Emilia. Slither hissed wickedly. "Don't touch her!" She hissed, giving one last whip with her tail, to the face of one Anurian, before an Anurian spear, pierced through the weak point of her chest, sending her dead to the ground as well. Emilia cried out as she closed her eyes, covering her ears, as the Anurian's put a great shadow over the helpless girl, nothing worth without her Rifle in hand. And so the vision ended. "Now.. What would you do! Would you not feel the slightest urge! A minor Lust! A great need.. To just watch the world burn!! To simply.. Tear everything, from everyone! As they had done to you!" As the distorted voice growled in her ear, she saw visions of planet's burning in blue flames. "Now.. You've seen my side.. Now.. You can imagine.. You could not even begin to imagine my situation before! Remember this. When you meet me.. Eye.. To eye..." The voice ended in a whisper.

And so the vision ended, before she even had a chance to speak her mind out to Sear, and there Camera 125 turned to flimmer. Emilia pouted. "Awwh.. He broke my Camera..." She complained. Slither slowly shook her head, as her shoulders shivered. "Erh.. That.. Was a menacing creature.. Can't.. Wait to meet him in person..." She said with a sarcastic voice. Ashalah slowly nodded, still staring thoughtful at the flimering screen. "That face.. It was almost.. Saying.. Just as when h..." Her eyes then moved to Chandra, widening lightly. "He spoke to you.. Didn't he?" She asked.

 

[FoxWriter]

Chandra smiled as he gently kissed one of the tentacles on Ashalah's head. “you do have a family.” she promised smiling at her. “you have us, we will protect you as our own.” she promised enjoying the sensation of tentacles on her hands, smiling with a wickedness as she imagined those lovely tentacles causing damage to divine. “it's the closest I can come to saying your real name.” Chandra admitted smiling at her. “i thought it might be more polite.” she admitted gently kissing the woman's cheek. “your father is a cruel man.” she admitted softly. “but just because he thinks he is more powerful than us, doesn't mean he can tell us what to do. So long as Sear is on OUR planet WE will handle him OUR way and slaughter anyone who tries to get in our way.” she explained. “alien or not. Your kind underestimate mine, we are capable of amazing things Ashalah, things your father has no clue of.” and she wasn't talking and technology wise either.

“good work Emilee!” she chirped eagerly, watching the Camera closely, examining Sear closely, looking amazed. “god... he's so... beautiful.” she whispered softly, looking astonished at the shape and form, freezing at the sight of the red eyes and the voice in her mind. She tried to raise her mental shields, but it was too late, she was flung into the darkest recesses of her mind, groaning as he practically yelled in her ear. 'Sear...' she whispered back, mind to mind, voice tinted with fear. He could easily kill her like this, what happened to the mind, happened to the body after all. She watched with growing horror as all of her friends where killed, trying to cry out trying to save them. 'NO Leave them Alone! Don't hurt them!!!' she cried out, tears rolling down her face, in her mental plane, and in real life, the blood red drops one of the signs of her pure bred heritage. She did not cry water, she cried blood.

'Sear! Please! I don't want to hurt you! Please wait! Speak with me!!!' but it was too late, he was gone, leaving her crying in the middle of the room with Emilee pouting about her broken camera, a sob spilling from her throat as she collapsed, the only one close enough to catch her being Slither. “yes... he spoke to me.” she finally whispered blinking at Ashalah. “he showed me his pain.” she whispered softly. “i was right, on both counts... he has a racial memory... and he's psychic as well, he pulled me into my own mind and I was as helpless as a newborn babe against his power.” she admitted softly, swallowing thickly. “i need blood.” she whispered softly. “and I need to rest... I'm tired...” his intrusion into her mind had left her completely exhausted. “.. Tank.. please show Ashalah to a room, make sure it's comfortable and she has everything she needs... I must... think about what he has shown me... Slither... please, would you help me to my room?” she asked softly. “Emilee... see if you can't keep track of him somehow, satellite, camera, whatever you can do...” she whispered.

Tank gently set a hand on Ashalah's shoulder. “please follow Tank.” he ordered calmly. “will take you to pretty room.” he promised. “give you anything need.” he promised. “Ashalah need food or drinking?” he asked as he led her down the hall and into a bright cheerful room with a large soft bed and a large, bright window that seamed to show a large meadow full of flowers and pretty wildlife like deer, squirrels, and rabbits. “window fake, but make pretty.” he explained. “clothes in here if want change.” he explained again, patting the dresser. “computer for researching earthy things.” he stated indicating the computer. “if have password, can connect to SDTF public networks, learn about immortals, want password? Is T33F42” he told her. “be happy in here while Mother sleeps, pull rope.” he indicated a pill rope next to the bed. “if need anything. Tank will come.” he promised. “Ashalah should rest, log day.” he stated kissing her forehead. “Ashalah no worry, Mother strong, she know what do.”

 

[ForeverMischievous]

As a tentacle was kissed, Ashalah's lips parted, a soundless moan wanting to pass them, but she kept control over herself, closing her lips to clear her throat. No moan had passed them Slither saw, grinning lightly. Ashalah sent her begging eyes, not to tell Chandra, that could not have seen the urge for a moan. Slither merely winked, her tongue slithering past her lips as it wiggled, but she remained silent. So far. Ashalah would blush if she could, her tentacles having tickled against the kiss, the short time they could, now writhing among themselves with happiness. She smiled at Chandra's words, nodding a single time. "A.. And I you.. As if you where my own. Already. Finding you more so, then my own father.. Heh." She said with a soft chuckled. Slither wouldn't stop staring at her, having found a little secret of her's, at it only worked to make Ashalah more shy. Not uncomfortable, only shy. She might even have guessed her affection for Chandra. But she didn't want to imagine that. She nodded at Chandra's next words, frowning lightly. "Father.. Has the whole galactic fleet under his command. As.. Long as he commands this.. I'm.. Afraid we would stand little chance.." Now she had ideas. Ideas of treachery. But she hoped it would not come so far. "Yet.. I admire your courage." She said with a soft smile.

Emilia wiggled a bit from side to side in her chair with a happy smile, having been complimented. Ashalah slowly nodded at Chandra's words, not capable of disagreeing. "He is.." She could only murmur in agreement. Slither rose a brow at them both, before looking to Sear. "Right now... I find him rather.. Frightening..." She murmured, not easily scared off. Emilia nodded from behind her knees she had pulled close to herself to hide half of her face. "Me too." She whispered from behind her knees.
As Chandra suddenly dropped, Slither swiftly catches her without wasting a second for confusion. "Chandra!? What the hell?" She asked, taking Chandra in a loving embrace, her tail wrapping firmly around her leg in a desperate grip of affection. She had no idea what she had just been through, now frightened out of her scales. "A.. Are you alright?" She begged, her hand stroking Chandra's hair. Just now Emilia swiftly looked over to them, before quickly jumping up from her chair, running over to Chandra and Slithers side, putting her hands on Chandra's arm as she jumped lightly on the spot. "Motheer?" She also begged for answers, before Chandra had a chance to explain. Ashalah held out a hand for Chandra, her heart burning with fear, but seeing Slither catch Chandra, she could sigh with some relief. She frowned with compassion at Chandra's words, knowing how it felt to be helpless in her own mind. Exactly how she felt during her visions. Ashalah nodded at Chandra's words, and so did Slither and Emilia. Ashalah walked over to Chandra, putting a caring hand on her shoulder, gently stroking it. "I'm.. Sorry you had to go through that.. Wish.. I could've helped you.. But.. I'm afraid Sear's powers.. Is beyond mine." She whispered, almost as an apology. She leaned closer to gently kiss the side of Chandra's head, before following Tank with a smile. "I'll do my best, Mother." Emilia agreed, sitting herself over to her screens, but not taking her eyes off Chandra, as long as she was in the room. "Of course, love. Come." Slither whispered softly, stroking Chandra's hair with care, before relieving her leg. She first walked with an arm around Chandra, to see if she could and wanted to walk herself. If she was too exhausted for this, she put one arm bellow Chandra's hips and one on her back, carrying her towards her room.

Ashalah looked around the room Tank had lead her through, her tentacles writhing happily still, even though her heart was heavy with both fear and sorrow for Chandra. She smiled at his first question, turning to look to him. "I.. Would love some what, thanks.. I won't need food for another week.. We.. Don't need nourishment as often as those of your planet." She said with a soft smile. She looked out the window with a soft chuckled, tilting her head a bit at the pictures in it. It.. Is indeed pretty.." She agreed. She looked to the computer and then the rope as he explained it, nodding a few times with her smile aiming for Tank again. "Thanks a lot.. And.. I know.. Maria... Is an extraordinary person. With a.. Wonderful character.." She said, looking a bit dreamly to the side, before realizing what she was saying, clearing her throat, as the tentacles of her hair started writhing again, and she looked back on Tank with a smile. "Ehm.. Thanks, I.. Think I'll.. Have everything I need.. But.. I'll make sure to let you know, if I need anything." She said with a somewhat shy expression. She was so horrible at hiding emotions, even though she couldn't even blush.

Slither carried Chandra with care to her room, sitting them both on her bed, as her hand stroked through Chandra's hair again and she kissed her shoulder. "Are.. You alright.. Dear?" She asked with a concerned expression. "What.. Did he make you see? To.. Hurt you this much?" She asked, as her tail stroked around Chandra's back, before wrapping around her waist, as she kept Chandra close. She was very prepared to offer her blood to Chandra, she knew she could always take what she needed from Slither. Slither enjoyed the bite beyond measures, and she knew her blood was treasured by Chandra's race. She never really knew why. She just had the feeling Chandra liked it, which was good enough for her.. Was not like she'd offer it to any other Vampires then her. Perhaps Emilia. If she begged enough.

she smirked a little. “i'm afraid we have our own secretes.” she admitted. “we might stand much of a chance, but we do have a slim chance. I have my own theories about your father.” she admitted growling a little. “for one thing, I have to wonder why he didn't just kill Sear along with all the other Arkthorian's hmm?” she mused, looking over at Ashalah. “i'm sorry to say but I think your father wanted Sear to use as his own little weapon.” she admitted calmly staring at the screen, for some reason she found Sear... irresistible, his form was so perfect, his aura as black as ink and his eyes as red as blood, power was attractive to her kind, she couldn't help herself, but that wasn't the only reason why she felt drawn to him, she could almost feel his despair.

When she dropped and was caught by Slither she smiled weakly. “shh Little one's.. I'm alright.” she promised softly. “just tired.. it's like he sucked out half of my energy.” she admitted gently gripping Ashalah's hand. “shh now, there's no need to feel guilty... the pain... I understand him now.” she explained. “i understand what drives him.” or she hoped so. “he said we would meet, eye to eye.” she admitted. “he intends to meet me in person, and soon I think.” she explained before slowly getting up with Slithers help, and allowing the woman to carry her, unable to stay on her feet long enough to walk a step, let alone the twenty feet it was to her room. She looked up at Slither when she was laid on the bed, offering her a smile. “thank you slither.” she muttered softly, pondering the other woman's question before finally answering. “he made me see the loss of everything that I hold most dear.” she admitted softly. “so I would know the pain of his existence, he who has nothing and no one but himself, may I have a drink?” she asked hopefully. “it's been so long since I fed live...” she admitted, a little worried about hurting her daughter, but it was necessary.

She gently took the mother's wrist and smelled along it, locating the vein before dropping her fangs, the four long sharp fangs slipping easily into Slithers flesh, sucking on the sweet, so sweet, rich blood that flowed out of her vein. Slither's blood, as always was so rich, tasting of so many good things, and best of all she could drink two or three pints without hurting slither in the least, Chandra's only problem was stopping before she hit that point. She had no trouble this time thankfully, and she released her daughters wrist, panting hard as she lay on the bed. “thank you.” she mumbled again before drifting off into an uncomfortable and nightmare filled sleep.

Tank smiled at the other and moved over to the sink, filling a glass with water and offering it to her, not realizing that he probably should have gone and gotten some cold from the fridge. “Ashalah not worry about Mother.” he promised smiling at her. “mother good, strong, brave.” he promised offering her a smile. “mother likes you lots.” he admitted. “slither and Tank and Emilee too.” he admitted watching her. “we protect Ashalah good.” he promised. “let no bad things happen. Ashalah good person, good character too.” he promised beaming at her before shuffling out of the room, leaving Ashalah to her own devices. “oh! Please no leave room without tank, Slither, or Chandra.” he ordered. “be very dangerous sometimes here.” he admitted. “big fights being sometimes, and being afraid of you they might.” he admitted before pausing and leaving to go to his own room, which the bell would ring in since it was normally Emilee's room, but she was busy, and he was sure the woman wouldn't mind sharing a room with Slither or Chandra for a while.

Ashalah narrowed her eyes lightly at Chandra's words, looking thoughtful for a moment, before she slowly nod a few times. "Th.. That's.. Sadly.. Rings possibility.. He always wanted me to try.. And make him look up to my father. Almost.. As if he wanted to take Sear to him. But my father would never take a Akthorian to him, if he didn't have.. Plans. That..." She was about to curse at her father, the tentacles on her head pointing their tips slightly outwards, before she got back her composure, the tentacles falling down and relaxing once again, as she cleared her throat.

Emillia and Slither could only smile halfly. They where still worried about Chandra, no mater how much she'd try to calm them. Their fear for Sear only grew from this. He was no where near Chandra, and yet he invaded her mind. 'I wish this had never fallen upon us.. Mother.. Sear.. Is too biggy.. How.. Could we ever even...' Emilia was talking into Chandra's mind, to not alarm the others. Emilia had never lost heart, at any mission at all. Often had she showed fear, but that had been a childs fear. This. Was her centuries of wisdom, telling her this was bad. Very bad. Her eyes looked up to Chandra for comfort, having the stout heart she could never evolve. She would always have a childs heart.
Ashalah looked somewhat frightened at Chandra's words. She couldn't tell, if this was a good thing or not. But Chandra seemed brave. Brave enough to face something like this. And. Strong enough as well. She had the heart as well. So she slowly nodded in agreement, her thumb stroking against Chandra's fingers.

Slither frowned lightly at Chandra's explanation. Hoping desperately that she hadn't seen the loss of the three. She then smiled at her question, and simply nodded. "Of course, dear." She whispered. She didn't offer her wrist, not really carrying where Chandra bit. As the fangs punctured her flesh, she moaned pleasently, tilting her head a bit back, as her tongue hissed pleased. She loved the rush it gave, when Chandra fed from her. She enjoyed it every time, almost especially the times she couldn't control herself, and drank a little more. She'd love that exhaustion. Made her feel helpless, in a pleasant way, knowing she was still in good hands. She groaned softly as the teeth pulled back, shaking her hand a bit as she looked down to Chandra with a smile. "Your welcome.. Sleep well." She whispered, before she cuddled close to Chandra, wrapping her arms gently around her waist, and lay one leg over Chandra's as her head used Chandra's shoulder as a pillow, hissing pleasantly.

Chandra's restless Nightmares, was not of noone's doing. She saw Arkthorians. Murdered by Anurian superiority. After some time, Sear's image appeard a few feet away from her. Looking like he was floating over the ground. This time, she could move, but not as if she walked the ground of the images around her, seeing Arkthorians of many colors, all resembling their rich culture. White furred Arkthorian's from the mountains. Camouflaged green Arktorians from the forest and yellowish ones from the deserts. Should Chandra try to move towards Sear, or contact him, he would not answer, and he would move away from her, constantly keeping the same distance, without it even looked like he moved.
"One hundred.. Twenty two million. Eight hundred.. Thirty five thousand... Nine hundred.. And sixty three, possible friends. Possible family.. One mother.. One father.. Two brothers.. Two sisters..." His voice still dark and distorted, as the dark red eyes, glared into Chandra's, no mater where she looked, his figure followed that direction, to be in front of them always, only way to avoid them should she want, would be to close her own. "I saw them all die.. Slaughtered.. Burned.. The last five seconds, of each of their lives.. Seared.. In here." He said, finally moving as he rose a hand to point a finger at the side of his forehead, the tentacles of his wrists writhing with anger. "That.. Is where that came from.. "Armand.. Armand Bloodmoon Shatalh.. Was ment to be my name.. Yes.. That I saw to.. My parrents wishes.. All.. Ripped away! By the merciless hands, of a neglecting race! A blind race! Foolish! Wicked! Doomed!" Was his last words, before he vanished, the visions of Arkthorian murders continuing, until she would wake.

Ashalah accepted the water thankfully, nodding a single time as she got it in hand. She looked up to him again, standing lower then almost everyone else in the small group, now of five, except Emilia. She smiled happily at his words. Even though crude, his words meant a lot to her. It was clear speaking was somewhat of an inability for Tank, yet he took his time to comfort her. This, in itself, meant a lot to him. The meaning warmed her even more. "Thanks.. Thanks a lot. The warmth and care you all show me here, means a lot more to me, then you might imagine." She said with a silent voice, and a gentle smile. As he was on his way out, she turned to look 'out' the fake window, until he said something again, looking over to him with a smile. She tilt her head a bit, and then nodded a few times. "Thank you.. I will.. Remember this." She said with a gentle smile, before returning to stare out the window with a small smile.

Chandra smiled at Emilee. 'I know Sear is strong, but he isn't here to hurt us... he only wants to hurt the Anurians...' she wasn't sure where the name came from, perhaps residual information from Sear. 'it will be dangerous Lovely one, but I am certain he means us no harm... if all else fails, we can only hope he will be kind enough to protect us from Divinities wrath.' she explained calmly to Emilee. 'no matter what happens My Lovely, I will let no one harm you or the others, not even if we all have to flee to another planet.' she smiled at Emilee. 'be brave my little one, no matter what happens, we will always have each other.' she promised before she was picked up in Slither's arms and carried away.

Chandra watched in horror as she examined the death, the slaughter of innocents, tears falling from her eyes again, the red gleaming sickly in the light of the Arkthorian light, and even in the light of her bedroom. She bent down and tried to stroke the fur of a white, baby Arthorian, her lip trembling on horror at so many lives she hadn't been able to help, hadn't been able to protect, unable to do anything but stand there and watch, turning towards Sear. "why do you do this to me?" she tried to ask him, upset when he ignored her. She tried to look away and examine the massacre but his eyes followed hers, so she stared into them instead, seeing into him, seeing all of him that she could. She saw the pain in his eyes.

She stared at him as he spoke, swallowing thickly, her eyes sad. 'Armand Bloodmoon Shatlah...' she repeated almost obediently, staring at him with pain in her eyes, reaching her hand out to him. 'please... let me help you... your people have suffered a great agony, you have suffered a great agony, but destroying the Arkthorian's won't ease that pain... many of them are as innocent as your people where... please, take out your rage on that one responsible for the orders...' she didn't know what was happening really, all she could do was hope that he would listen to her, would let her help him. He deserved a life, and she wanted him to have it. She didn't give a shit about Divinity, he could kiss her pale ass for all she cared... she had a bond with Armand... she wanted, NEEDED to give him the life, the love, and the hope he had never had. But before she could plead he was gone, and she was awake again.

She blinked slowly, looking around the room, glad to see it empty as she wiped her face free of the red before ringing the bell, Slither rushing in as she knew the woman would. “please go and get Ashalah for me.” she ordered softly, slowly sitting up and rubbing her eyes, she had gotten no real rest, and was tired, so tired... but she knew Armand would never stop, not until he had what he wanted, not until he had the entire Arkthroain race dead and destroyed and anyone in his way dead as well. She closed her eyes, dozing until Ashalah got there, smiling at the woman. “it seams I have formed a bond with the Arkthorian.” she admitted holding out her hand. “come, lay on the bed next to me, and I will show you what he showed to me.” she promised, moving over to Ashalah could lay next to her, setting her hand on the others and closing her eyes, gently feeding Ashalah a tendril of her own mind. Chandra was so old, that mental manipulations where now very easy for her.

She laid there and showed her the dreams she had been shown, shared her pain and her sorrow and the flash of glee she had felt when she had seen Sear, shared his name with her and shared his rage with her, opening her eyes and blinking at Ashalah. “he wants your people to suffer the way he has suffered.” she admitted softly, gently sitting up and rubbing her eyes, smiling at Slither who would no doubt be hovering, worried to death. “it's alright Sil.” she stated calmly, taking her daughters hand. “it was nothing that hurt physically, it just hurt my heart to see the pain in his heart.” she admitted calmly. “it hurts to see the deaths, like he does every day.” she wasn't sure where that knowledge came from, again it must have been residual information from Armand's and her minds connecting. “i have to meet him... face to face... and alone, I need to try and talk him out of creating another mass genocide...” she didn't know if she could but she wanted to try.

 

[ForeverMischievous]

Emilia's scared eyes, lightened up with Chandra's words, as always so easily seduced, but Chandra would still be able to feel the worry in her heart. She still had a horrible feeling about Sear. She still had a horrible feeling, that this would be the end of Chandra. Would be the end of them. And they where all she had. The rest of the SDTF wasn't as nice to her as Chandra and the others. She wouldn't be welcome anywhere else. She didn't want, what they had, to be destroyed. At Chandra's last whispers in her mind, Emilia smiled lightly, nodding a few times, before she walked to her computer, following everyone with her eyes, before she turned to work. She got no rest that night.

Slither had woken a few minutes earlier then Chandra, and had only really managed to get something to drink, before she heard her beeper react to the rope pull, removing everything she had in her hands, before rushing to Chandra's room. "Are you alright?" Was her first words as she'd opened the door, looking down to Chandra. She hesitantly nodded, before quickly rushing out the door again, and towards the Emilia's room, knowing Tank had brought Ashalah there. She nodded and smiled to Tank, shaking her head in the direction of the door she had come through. "You should go to Chandra's room as well. I'm here to get Ashalah." She said, before opening the door, and bringing a wake Ashalah to Chandra's room.

Ashalah looked down to Chandra as she entered, with worried eyes, her tentacles again writhed among each other. She gulped at her words 'bond' realizing that was probably not such a good thing. She nodded as she was ordered to Chandra's bed, walking over to her, laying next to her. As the visions swept over her, her eyes darkened to a purple color instead, as they always did with visions. Being a seer, it was very simple to grant her visions through their mentality. It would come as if her own visions. As the images swept over her, she slowly curled herself into a ball, a soft whimper passing her lips, as a gleaming tear left her eyes, before they where closed entirely. All that pain and suffering, on her account. Her vision had started all this. She deserved that wrath directed at her, the rest of the Anurians didn't. It pained her to see Armand so angry. He did not seem hurt, as if there was no space for that, beside all his rage.

As she'd seen most of the visions, she cut the connection, unable to bare anymore, now showing emotions far beyond what she was usually capable of. She had not cried, since she lost her wife and child. But now, tears graced her red skin, as she lay curled together as if a ball. "O.. Our.. People doesn't deserve it.. H.. His wrath.. Should be directed at me.. Me, and my father, i.. It's all our fault.. O... Our people.. Just follows orders.." She cried, her eyes shut, and her body as much pulled together as it could. Slither frowned and walked over to them, sitting down behind Ashalah, laying a gentle hand on her shoulder, stroking it. Slither then looked to Chandra with worried eyes, before she was comforted, only smiling halfly as her tongue slithered past her lips. Yet Chandra's last words, made her flinch her head a bit back, with widening eyes. She quickly got her composure, starting to shake her head. "No.. No. Definitely not.. I'm coming with you, unless you chain me to this bed.. P.. Please.. Don't chain me to the bed..." She begged, her eyes now filled with worry even stronger. "I'm.. Going with you..." She begged again. Emilia suddenly appeared from her hiding and listening behind the door as well, eyes just as worried. "Me too.. He's.. Ben ruining most of our Camera's around the perimiter.. Staring.. I.. Into most of them, before they was deaded.. Except for one.. One that now captures him.. As.. As if smaller.. Then before. Just.. Crouched forward, only a few miles off our grounds.." She told, her fingers itching each other. "I.. I wanna come to.. Please? I can't let you go alone, I just can't."

Tank agreed to go to Chandra's room, and got Emilee on his way, simply picking her up and carrying her over his shoulder like he always did, looking amused when she squealed and protested, tickling her toes as he walked and gently setting her in a chair in Chandra's room, taking his time to sniff Chandra all over, the woman giggling as his nose tickled her, but putting up with it because she knew he'd fret if she tried to stop him. She smiled at Slither and Ashalah when they walked in and gently stroked Slither's tail when it wrapped around her wrist. “i really am alright, just tired and heart sore.” she promised before laying down and showing Ashalah the pain.

“i'm sorry Ashalah, I know it hurt.” Chandra whispered, puling the woman into her arms, holding her and comforting her gently as she kissed the woman's cheek. “it hurts but your just as innocent as the rest of your people.” she whispered softly. “you where used just like everyone else was, you share their blame, but it's your father who should be punished. I just have to convince Armand to listen to reason, I have to hope he'll believe me.” she admitted stroking the woman's tentacle hair. “there is so much pain in his heart, and so much anger, usually people who are that hurt have no room for negotiations, I fear what might have to be done...” she admitted softly scrubbing her face with one hand, the other still stroking Ashalah's hair. “i am sure everything will turn out to be alright, I am sure of it... I just... don't know how yet...”

Chandra shook her head. “you don't understand, he picked me for a reason, I think he trusts me... he needs me for some reason, I'm sure he won't hurt me.” she admitted calmly. “and I'm so not chaining you to the bed, that's not one of my kinks, talk to Slither if you like bondage.” she ordered looking a little amused as she sighed, rubbing her eyes. “i have to go alone, I don't think he'll come talk to me if I have other people with me.” she admitted calmly looking at all of them. “i'll take a laser pistol with me if it makes you feel better.” Laser pistols where their latest technological advancement, it was a gun that shot localized radiation beams that burned the target violently and if aimed properly could kill with one shot. “but I need to go alone and Ashalah I REALLY don't think you can go with, he'll react to you with hostility, he'll recognize you as his captor and he might try to kill you. I don't want to hurt him, and I can't let him hurt you either...” she paused, suddenly realizing exactly why Divinity had sent his daughter.

'Emilee, I need you to watch Ashalah closely... I think Divinity sent her here to die... I think he expects Ar.. er, Sear to kill her, we have to protect her AND Sear. Can you help me protect Ashalah?' the had her doubts that Emilee would refuse, the girl liked Ashalah, everyone liked Ashalah. 'I don't want Ashalah to know this yet, so tell Slither and Tank when you have them alone until I have more concrete proof, all I have is my gut feeling right now.' Chandra often referred to her gut feelings for things like that and she was often right, not always, but most of the time. She could only hope she wasn't wrong about this. She gently kissed Ashalah's forehead and smiled at her. “come have breakfast with us Ashalah.” she offered getting slowly to her feet. Chandra didn't need to eat 'human food' but she liked to because it tasted good. The perks of being a pureblood meant she could eat as much food as she wanted. “we'll talk more about meeting Armand... Sear, in person.” she wasn't sure what to call him, she wished she could ask him what he would prefer, but that wouldn't be possible until she could either sneak away and go alone or convince the others to let her go alone. For now, keeping Ashalah safe was her main priority, Sear wasn't hurting anyone, yet.

 

[ForeverMischievous]

Ashalah looked up to Chandra with clear fret in her deep yellow eyes, clearly still not pleased with the idea of Chandra going alone. Her eyes almost begging to be brought, at the tentacles in her hair again wrapped gently around Chandra's fingers in a needy embrace. She wrapped her own arms around Chandra as well, wanting to keep her close as long as she could, whimpering silently as she shook her head. "I.. I fear.. I could never forgive myself.. Even when glancing at reason. There.. Has been too much pain, suffered because of what I saw. Because of what I told my father. Maybe.. If I'd just.. Kept it to myself. Stayed my tongue. N.. Not... Mentioned what I saw.. But.. I fear my father.. I.. Could never contradict him. Lie. He would know. I'm.. So sure he would know..." She whispered silently, once again closing her eyes, as her tentacles shortly gave Chandra's hand a firm and gentle squeeze. She slowly nodded to Chandra's comforting words, doing her best to believe her. But her hope, was so bitter sweet, and desperately dim.

Ashalah slowly shook her head again, still not liking the idea. Slither grinned a bit at Chandra's words, but shook it off, looking serious again, also shaking her head. "I.. Don't like it.. It.. Might just as well be to trick you. To keep you.. Vulnerable... Alone." Slither disagreed, shaking her head. Emilia nodded eagerly, deffenitly agreeing to Slither's words. "I think so too..." She said silently, rocking a bit back and forth where she sat on the other side of the bed. Ashalah pinched her eyes slightly at Chandra's words, snuggling herself closer to Chandra in a gentle hug. "It.. Would be no less, th.." She stopped herself, no longer wanting to sound so morbid anymore. "I wan't to see him.. Look him in his eyes.. Tell him.. That.. I'm sorry.." She whispered, opening her eyes again to look to Chandra. "I.. Don't want to hide anymore. The last many years, I had not been in his cell. In fear.. Of his power.. But I want to see him again. Want.. To let him know, that I fear him. Let him know I am sorry.." She whispered, looking a bit down once again, as her tentacles kept stroking Chandra's hand, for as long as it was there.

Emilia looked a bit up as Chandra spoke to her in her mind. She whimpered slightly, pulling her legs closer to herself. "I.. I still.. Don't like it, Mother.. I don't..." She was interrupted by a low growl in Chandra's mind, which Emilia clearly also heard, currently being in Chandra's mind, since she put her hands before her ears with a scared whimper.
"Bring the captor! Bring the Seer! I wish her, to see me again... See what has happened! See what she couldn't prevent! See.. How isolation breaks a mind.. And bring the others.. I wish to see them.. I wish to see family.. How things.. Could! Have been for me.. Your the only one strong enough to see my visions.. The only one with the capability to handle my presence.. I can't see them.. But.. I can feel them.. Especially the one.. In here.. Right now, with us.. Bring it.. Bring them all.. Let them all see.. Your desperate attempts to protect them is in vane. I will reach them.. One way. Or another. Your choice.. If you wish to be with them.. As I do. Or not.." Armand's presence disapeared as well, leaving a whimpering Emilia, staring at Chandra with big, scared eyes. "H.. How... Can you stand that?" She cried out silently. Slither rose a brow, looking over to the scared girl, before she got up and sat over next to her, wrapping an arm around her neck. "What's wrong, dear?" She asked, Emilia not moving an inch. "I.. I think... I really.. Need breakfast.."Emilia whispered and nodded a few times at herself. Ashalah also nodded, after having observed the scared Emilia with worried eyes. "I'd.. Like to, yes." She agreed and nodded. Both Slither, Emilia and Ashalah would all follow, whenever Chandra was ready to good for breakfast.

Chandra shook her head. “no... it's not a trick.” she stated calmly. “i can feel it, I can feel it in him... he wants something from me, I just don't know what yet.” she admitted still comforting Ashalah, gently kissing the woman's neck as she tried to comfort the woman. “the past cannot be changed, but the blame is not on you. Your father would have gotten the information from you one way or another I have no doubt of that.” she admitted calmly, closing her eyes as she rested, tired form the constant invasion of her mind. She sighed a little as she realized there was going to be no talking Ashalah out of it, but she was going to try hard, staying close to the woman, enjoying the contact. Chandra got so little cuddle time, she would get it from slither but the girl just couldn't keep her hands to herself, and Tank was so big he half crushed her, and Emilee had personal space issues, so she was enjoying the cuddles with Ashalah.

She groaned as she felt her mind being invaded again, panting hard as tears pricked at her eyes again, his rage enveloping her mind, ordering her. But she would do as he told her to, she wanted him to trust her, wanted to show him that he could follow his instructions and obey him for so long as it wasn't dangerous. She slumped a little as he left her mind again, she didn't even try to talk back. “uhg...” she groaned smiling at Emilee. “it's alright Little One.” she promised softly. “i can stand it because my mind is strong and similar to his.” that was her theory anyway. She slowly stood up, Tank supporting her gently as she smiled at slither. “will you help Emilee to the kitchen while I make a quick announcement to the Base?” everyone was still waiting. “Emilee, everything will be alright.” she promised. “don't tell anyone what was said, I will tell them myself when I get back.” she promised, Tank helping her out to the podium where the entire two hundred population of the SDTF was located.

She explained calmly that she and her group where involved with an alien race, and that the entire base was on complete lock-down, no one in, no one out without Chandra's permission. They where unhappy about it, but accepted the orders, anything needed to entertain a population of immortals where on base anyway, and most of them where living there already, those who weren't still had their own rooms. They where explained who Ashalah Moonling was and that they where not to disturb her if they saw her and then she was carefully escorted by tank back to the kitchen where the others where waiting. “i informed Base what was happening... they know only that there is an alien here and that we're hunting an escaped convict.” she promised to Ashalah. “you can now wander base as you please, no one will bother you, not when I ordered them not to.” she promised smiling at Ashalah before sitting down and accepting the glass of blood that Tank offered her, swallowing it down quickly.

“... we're all going.” she explained suddenly. “he wants to see all of us, to see what a family is like... and I feel better with all of us being there at the same time than alone.” she admitted calmly. “he said he wanted to see Ashalah the most... to show her what isolation did to a person.” she admitted swallowing thickly. “we have to keep her safe... I have a terrible feeling that Divinity sent her down here to be killed.” she didn't want to admit that out loud, but she had to if she was going to protect Ashalah. “i don't know this for sure, it's just a feeling, but I'm sure Divinity suspects Ashalah might die on this mission, we have to keep her safe above all else.” she ordered calmly, taking Ashalah's hand in her own. “we'll go this afternoon after lunch, everyone will carry a laser pistol and be ready to defend but I don't want anyone to attack unless I give the order, even if he roughs me up a little I don't want anyone to make a move unless I tell them to, clear?” she didn't want things to go south if Armand lost his temper and smacker her or something. If he actually tried to kill her, sure she wouldn't mind her children trying to drive him off or kill him but she wanted desperately to settle all of this peacefully.

 

[ForeverMischievous]

Slither murmured a soft protest in a hiss, as she looked down again. She still didn't like it. Someone as powerful as him, why would he need her alone? She couldn't imagine anything else, then something bad. And she wasn't usually a doomsayer. Ashalah's closed eyes fluttered slightly as her neck was kissed, and a soft moan passed her lips, as the tentacles on her neck rose to gently stroke Chandra's cheek. The tentacles in her hair started to writhe among each other again, as she listened to Chandra's comforting words. She knew Chandra was entirely right, and that her father was far too persisting, for her to be able to contradict him. "Mmh.. Your.. probably right." She mumbled silently, smiling halfly as she sniffled. She didn't wish to let go of Chandra either, still holding her close in that warm hug.

Ashalah realized Chandra had another vision, feeling the presence of an invader in the room, even though he had only mentally been there. Emilia slowly nodded, as she whimpered slightly again. "That's.. Why your exhausted when he visits.. His presence.. It.. It is heavy.." She mumbled, still frowning lightly. "My.. Itty bitty head would implode if he ever visited me..." She mumbled with a soft pout. Slither couldn't help but gently chuckle at her words, stroking Emilia's shoulder in comfort. "Don't worry dear.. I won't let your pretty little head, do any sort of imploding." She said with a gentle smile. Emilia giggled lightly, looking up to Slither, before leaning her head against her shoulder and looking up to Chandra as she rose. "Of course.." Slither agreed, raising as she picked up Emilia, carrying her as if she was a child. But Emilia liked that, and everyone knew that. That childish comfort you'd not remember once grown up. Emilia had never grown past that. Ashalah also rose as the others did, and she stroked Chandra's shoulder, before the group split up, Ashalah, Emilia and Slither heading to the kitchen.

As Chandra arrived at the kitchen, Ashalah and Slither was sitting on each side of Emilia, giggling at the hungry girl feasting on the white bread she had gotten for breakfast. Just as Elise, she didn't need it. Nor was it really good for her stomach, but she also just loved the taste. "Don't eat so fast, dear.. You'll end up choking.." Ashalah giggled. Slither slowly shook her head as she rested her head on her arms, laying over the table. "She can't choke herself. She doesn't even need to breathe.." Slither explained, looking up to Ashalah with a smile, who just tilted her head, before looking back to Chandra as the two arrived. Ashalah then nodded a few times with a gentle smile. "Thanks.. I.. Hope no one will mind my.. Intrusion." She said. Slither giggled with a soft grin. "No one.. Will mind your intrusion..." She said, giggling again, as Ashalah's tentacles started writhing among each other, as she let a soft giggle embrace her lips as well.

Slither seemed a bit surprised that Chandra had suddenly changed her mind, but nodded as she explained why. "Good.. I prefer it that way." She said. Ashalah's eyes widened, slightly frightened. He had actually asked for her? She feared the worst, but also felt she was prepared for his justice. The darkest parts of her mind, still felt she deserved anything he would throw at her. She then dropped her jaw lightly in surprise and shook her head a few times. "N.. No, I.. I can't believe that.. My.. Father is cruel, but.. He wouldn't..." She mumbled, still shaking her head as she looked a bit down. As Chandra took her hand, her eyes moved to their hands, gently stroking Chandra's fingers with her own, before looking up with a soft nod. Slither and Emilia also both nodded in agreement. "Yes Chandra.. But if his hands starts glowing, and he get's too hostile.. I will shoot..." Slither side, tilting her head a bit forward. "He ripped that guard to pieces, and only by waving his hands... I don't want him to give him that chance.." She said with some fret in her voice. She didn't want to lose Chandra. And to even imagine watching her torn to pieces like the guard on that video, sent shivers through her spine. Ashalah looked to Slither, and then back on Chandra. "I.. Have to agree with Slither.. He is.. To dangerous, to even let him have that chance.. But.. I'll do as you wish.. I don't think.. Your the one he really wishes to hurt.." She said, with a soft and short smile. Emilia looked back and forth between them all, before putting down the bread she had been munching on. "Tell Emee... Why is it.. That.. We do not just... End it? He.. Could do the most horrid things to us, and possibly would.. I'm.. Sorry to be the only one saying this, possibly seeming like.. The wickedy little which.. But.. Why don't we just blow him up, where he is now?" She suggested with a slight frown, looking a bit down. She knew how evil this would sound, but Chandra had seen her fear. Her discontent. How horrible her thoughts had been on these maters. Slither smiled a bit, stroking Emilia's back. As much as she didn't agree on just executing the creature, she saw some sense in the suggestion, that couldn't be ignored. Ashalah looked down to Emlia, with a half smile. "Everyone.. Deserves a chance.. Even. Those who seems to have the worst of hearts.. They deserve a chance. And.. I could not be part, in dooming the remnants of the race, I already pushed to the brink of ahnialation." She admitted, looking a bit down. Emilia frowned, looking down as well, though still not pulling back her question.
