≈ Macalania Forest ≈

Taemin (Dhampir):Laying there, studying those cuts from the tree. Somehow it looked like a star, or just random lines forming some kind of figure she never intended to create. Still, the tree was fallen. Fallen like she just became. Suddenly, drops hit her silicon skin, soaking its pale, smooth appearance, salty as it was. She rolled over to stare at two legs blocking her view. Looking more upwards a face met her, it was that guy from earlier. However, now did she actually see his facial expression, his dark brown eyes, showing the reflection of herself staring at him. Clean skin, no acne`s at all. And the pink shaded lips meeting her with his words. “I-I`m …. Fine” she lied, sitting up with her kunai`s firmly tied in her hand. “It`s nothing more to see.. The show here is over” she spoke bluntly towards the male. She never expected him to actually care. No one cared for a piece of trash like her. No one. The scientists looked at her as a failure of their project to create the perfect pleasure toy, the perfect wife to the ones who paid for her. Yet she escaped that madness of desire to earn money of human`s frustrating addiction of earning this satisfaction they do in form of human body contact. Icky, If you ask her. Yet, her opinion on that was the opposite. Her programs tells that she enjoys those kind of things, and is a master on that field. Yet, if she had more of a free will to think, she would have thought differently. And the good news is that she can. Still if her instincts says otherwise. But her ability to have consciousness, and to think more of her own opinions than the ones they created, was the failure she found more as a gift.. Yet, she never realized it herself before after the years of massive killing and rough _____. No, after the years of the lack of being clarified is over. She now knew her reason for being created, and what her goal for the life was. To fight the committee and earn her rights to show that she wasn`t just an object, but that she could have rights too. “Why did you approach me?” she asked the younger. Expecting a reasonable answer that would safe him from not make the girl have a reason for killing him.
(so crappy xD forgive me )

@Nicole (Android-H) Taemin looked at the girl as she looked down to the ground. Was she...shy? He wasn't completely sure. Maybe she didn't like him. Nodding to himself slightly at this thought he sudden;y heard her yell and jumped. So surprised he was he fell into the shallow water in front of him. Quickly sitting up he heard sounds of metal and splintering wood. Once he rubbed the water from his eyes he stared at the girl that was lying on the ground. His goldish-brown hair had turned to a darker brown from the water. The drops dripped into the water with small plops as he sat there, his feet submerged in the blue colored liquid. Water also streamed down his face and his clothes were completely soaked. Though it was freezing he didn't really feel as much as any full human should. Shaking away the thoughts he stood up slowly. Walking over to the girl cautiously he made sure to calm his beating heart. At the moment he was afraid. What if she hurt herself? If he got to afraid he'd lose control and he didn't want to hurt anyone else. Now just a few feet away from the paled skinned being he bent down and stared at her. At that point he didn't really know what to do so he just sat there without saying a word and stared at her. Finally the silence was broken when he decided to speak to her. "Are you alright?"

@Taemin (Dhampir): The echo of her laughter, sounding so… fake. Unreal as the robotronic,digital feeling to it dominated the try of sounding human. As it vibrated into her ears, she felt for puking, disgusted by the truth hitting her straight at the face. Those small moments of her smiling, faded away, faster than you could count to one. Not even a second could compare. The birds was flying over her, singing so beautifully in tune. The pitch, was just perfect, so clean, birds never failed. “cute” she muttered for herself. She stood up again, shrugging her shoulders before she took a deep breath, letting it sink in between her lips. Turning the gaze to a direction, she by accident noticed the boy again. in a try to avoid eye contact with him, she swung her head to the opposite direction. Looking down, with this intense stare, her face of looking ashamed, yet stiff as it shown no kind of emotion at all, it was like a doll stare. Ugh, dolls. Her nickname through her lifetime of being. She didn`t even take it as a compliment anymore, more like an insult. Forever hunting her. “AAH! GO AWAY!!” she screamed, those memories, she wasn`t programmed to be able to forget, no.. Those memories had to follow her till her body was not more than trash of metal, till she died. “I wish….” A whisper was brave to even get out. pulling out her kunai from her sleeve, directing it against a tree as she pulled the blade deeply inside. For so taking it out again, deciding to slash scratches against it. To calm down, to throw out anger.

By time, which felt like hours, she stopped. Staring at it as she realized she just destroyed the tree itself. Yep, she was meant to destroy, it laid in the cards, she was meant to do it. Pretending to breath heavily out, dropping her weapon, she collapsed down at the ground, on her knees before she drifted the body to the left, laying down to just stare lifelessly at nothing. She wasn`t dead, but instead of crying, this was the potential way to show her sadness. By doing nothing, and to wait to be executed.

(Part 2/2)

@Nicole (Android-H) It changes you. Makes you into a whole different person and that same exact emotion made Taemin who he is today. Imagine that, fear shaping your entire life. Surrounding you in endless darkness and sorrow. It's not a nice feeling. Closing his eyes Taemin shook the thoughts away from his head. It wasn't good to dwell on such things. Opening his eyes once more he heard a laugh off to the side and jumped slightly. The laugh was different than the ones he'd normally heard. Before, at the orphanage, the only laughing he heard was when the kids bullied him. It was an evil laugh that could possibly break anyone if they heard it for too long. This laugh was different though. It sounded...robotic almost. As if whoever laughed, wasn't supposed to. Turning his head to the side he saw a girl. She had short, platinum blonde hair and bangs just over her eyes. Her skin was clean and perfect like a doll's but Taemin didn't find it particularly attractive. Just a few words to describe what she looked like. What struck Taemin as odd was as to why she was out here. Why would a girl just walk through the forest in the middle of the day?

@Nicole (Android-H) Taemin continued staring up at the sky. The sun didn't hurt his dark brown eye as they shined with a sort of luster in its light. These were one of the few things he enjoyed in the desolate world. Everywhere he went he would here people talk of The Committee. Whenever he asked what it was they would just bow their heads down and walk away quickly. It puzzled him, yes, but he never chose to dwell on it. Just the name put him slightly on edge if he even if he had no idea what it was. Who could blame the boy? He was homeless after all. Taemin didn't mind though as he loved wandering. Sometimes, without even knowing it, he'd walk for miles on end. The sun against his back and warming every part of his cold body. His longish brown-blonde hair would shimmer like gold as his head would bob in his gate. To him, it was a kind of magical feeling. To be completely free in the middle of nowhere. Someone always found him though so he never got the chance to fully enjoy the experience. Sighing to himself happily and sadly at these thoughts he looked into the water. His hair brushed past his cheeks and slightly covered his eyes. In the water his reflection showed a pale boy with what could be described as perfect features. It made him look as if he belonged here but he knew he didn't. He was different than everyone else. He was something not completely human. His other half, something people, anyone, feared. He hated that. The feeling of fear that came off of others. It just made him sick with grief of what he'd done before and reminded him of how he experienced fear many times before. The emotion was a ghastly spiral of darkness. Wind would whisper to you in the middle of the night and storms would come knocking on your door to remind you that you weren't always alone. That anything could happen to you in the blink of an eye and poof, your gone. Dead. Non-existent. Just like that your whole being shuts down. Fear is just like death.

(Part 1/2)

@Taemin (Dhampir) Behind those shadowy trees, passing the big fall, steaming down with its shine of glitter, blending in the reflexion of the waterdrops. One by one, they fell. And the miss was speechless of the breathtaking view. Leaving town for this side of the planet made her feel, quiet relaxed, or if she could feel relaxed. Passing the corners of the forest, her glassy eyes envied this peace this animals had. How they didn`t go against each other, not making a war, not spilling blood and eat each other. It was chaos, the committee ruined everything. Everything that could create peace, the clean air that once was in the city, is now dead and gone thanks to the society they built up, for example creatures like her. A non feeling creature, created by the nicest metal, looking completely human, even if she didn`t resembled the qualities. Sighing. She turned to the right, heading towards a small lake, probably connected with the fall she saw earlier. When she thought she was alone, she was completely wrong. A young boy, by himself he was sitting. His skin was fair, clean it seemed. Like he was a part of this planet. Probably someone living there? An intruder like her. What should she say? Should she approach this human looking being? Honestly, she found humans weak, but utterly fascinating, because of their will to be brave, have emphaty, and show compassion. They had those qualities that would help them decide what was right or wrong, to show piece or madness. Running through their veins, it was a heart in the center controlling it. Those feelings. Nicole wasn`t addicted. Just jealous. He probably had a more reasonable reason for living on this galaxy. She herself was… Born to be pleasure toy and a massive assassin. Nothing more. She was worthless, created to do evil. To think evil. She might be insane, but deeply inside, she would have a good heart. Well, she just showed it the wrong way, not having directions to treat people nicely. She just…. She just acted by instincts. “Maybe I should leave this latter alone?” she thought. “Or just ignore him” she smiled satisfied by the idea. Just walk with certain steps and don`t care about him. And so she did, she passed the loner, sitting down just to stare. Stare down in the reflection this water created, inspecting her face. Making funny faces and gags. Somehow… practicing a smile, practicing a mad face, maybe even pretending being in love. yes, even aegyo was tried. Still, she didn`t care about the boy. Since she didn`t have feelings, so she wouldn`t feel embarrassed. One of the few things she liked to not have. Becoming red in the face looked weird. Just thinking by it. made her laugh.

@Nicole (Android-H) Taemin treaded lightly through the forest as his footsteps were barely heard through it's silence. Leaves fell through the almost empty branches as winter was soon approaching. Still, he walked on silently not paying attention to the crunching of dead leaves under his feet. Looking around at the trees and small animals he smiled slightly. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining through the tree branches and the reds, golds, and yellows were a melting pot of color.

Down the path he could see hues of beautiful blue. That was his destination. The lake in the forest was one of his favorite places on this planet. His eyes had a sort of twinkle in them as he came upon the vast, deep blue expanse. The forest bed seemed to seep into the edges of the bank and pop out with green and blue.

Now he was sitting at the edge f the lake with his feet in the water. Looking up at the sky he let the sun shine down on him. This was just one of the very few days where he experienced true happiness.

@Jiyeon (Werewolf) "It does, doesn't it?" Yongguk whispered, watching the Moon Range. He looked over at Jiyeon with a smirk on his face, her head start making him break out in laughter. He knew he was faster than her, especially considering she hadn't ran in a long time. He took his time moving up to the Top, reaching her shortly after she had taken off. He ran next to her a smile on his face, teasing her slightly. "Hm, I wonder who will reach the top first. What's the prize for the winner?" He chuckled more as he moved a few paces in front of her.

@Jiyeon (Werewolf) Yongguk felt her jump off but decided to keep running. It had been a while since they both had the chance to even run, so he figured it would be some good exercise. They should always be fit and ready if anything was to happen. "You have to run faster if you are expecting to catch up."" He yelled over his shoulder, avoiding the trees and bushes in his way. Reaching the end of the forest Yongguk stopped, waiting for Jiyeon to stop next to him. The moon range was just in view, looking the same as it had when they were young teenagers.

@Jiyeon (Werewolf) Yongguk nodded, standing up as well. "Arasso let's go before the witch realizes you are really not that cool." He laughed, running away from her before she could hit him. They hadn't gone to the moon range in quite some time, maybe since they were in their early teens, but now seemed like the perfect moment. Going back to grab her hand, he carried her on his back, changing into his wolf form and running through the forest. It would be much faster this way and that way, they could stay at the range longer before having the come back to their responsibilities.

((So sorry this took so long!!! I had insane writer's block and too much hw))

@Jiyeon (Werewolf) Yongguk nodded, sitting on the floor. "That is because this forest is magical. It is known to be ruled by the witch of shadows, who can decide who she allows into it. Anyone with mal-intentions can be harmed by her since she has full reign here. To be honest, I'm surprised we are even allowed in here." Yongguk looked around suspiciously, but let it go as quickly as it came. “You know what? We need to do this more often. The pack won’t benefit from us being cranky and unhappy at all points in life. We are young adults too. We need to run free without a care in the world.”

@Jiyeon (Werewolf) Yongguk laughed, taking Jiyeon's hand and standing up. He really wasn't a dancer, and not the way Jiyeon was expecting him to dance either. But for her, he was willing to put his embarrassment aside and dance with her. Besides, no one was here to question his dance skills. Holding her hand, he spun her around in circles, trying to dance like she had before but failing miserably. He laughed at how free he felt, and watched as the butterflies seem to wrap around their bodies. They welcomed them, and nothing could have felt better than being alone with Jiyeon. "We look ridiculous."

@Jiyeon (Werewolf) "I lost on purpose to save my ears and body from the violence I'd get from you." He pouted, before laughing at the memories. He watched as the butterfly flew towards his face, landing on his nose. Using his finger he coaxed the butterfly to move onto it, moving his hand in front of Jiyeon. "Beautiful, right? Butterflies are so lucky. They have beauty; they are not feared by others, but welcomed. They can fly freely wherever they like, and no one will tell them otherwise. Sometimes it would be nice not to be told what you have to do." He let the butterfly flutter away, watching as it flew up into the sky.

@Jiyeon (Werewolf) Yongguk walked out of the water, shaking his body and moving towards Jiyeon. He lay on the floor, his head propped up against a tree, pulling Jiyeon to lay with him. "I want that just as much as you do. But it's hard to do when you are taking control of an entire species. Sometimes, I'm just too tired to do anything." He looked over at the waterfall, watching his it made a rainbow towards where it crashed. "I miss when we used to run around in our wolf forms and not care about anything." He looked down, smiling at how small she was compared to him.

@Jiyeon (Werewolf) Gasping as the cold water ran down his back, Yongguk stared at Jiyeon in bewilderment. Standing up he ran towards her, grabbing her be her wrist and hoisting her up to his shoulder. "So you thought that was funny right? Well I have something amusing for you." He laughed, walking towards the edge of the water. Deciding to walk in as well, he slowly made his way into the water, making sure Jiyeon was not touching it. When he was waist high, lifting her above his head, he threw her into the water in front of him. Laughing, he slowly moved away from her spot. "Now that is what I call funny."

@Jiyeon (Werewolf) Yongguk tried to look up to where the butterfly had landed, but couldn't since it was too far back on his head. He watched as Jiyeon laughed at him, and his eyebrows rose slightly. "Oh, you're laughing at me now?" He ran towards her, a mischievous look outline his facial features. He picked her up, throwing her on his shoulder and running around, occasionally throwing her up into the air to watch her reaction. Doing this for some time, he finally got tired, putting her down and sitting near the waterfall. "It's beautiful, isn't it? I think we should come here more often."

@J.R. (Vampire Slayer Leader) "Or perhaps a low life like you mistook him for another human." Donghae grumbled, not even flinching when the other surrounded himself with illusions. He kept his eyes focused squarely on the other as he reached into his pocket with his free hand and pulled out a electronic that resembled and Iphone. He tapped on it a couple of times before a life like hologram projected itself onto the ground, showing a man only a couple inches taller than he was. "I am the Ace Specialist of The Committee. My mission is to come here, and retrieve this cyborg. His body was hacked by one of our holograms and we need to extract that hologram and return it to the central core before it does any damage to your planet as well." Donghae explained impatiently, the hologram flickering and disappearing from existence once he replaced his phone like device into his pocket. "Now cut the ____ with the little projections or are you such a coward that you have to hide behind them for your own protection? After all... I can sense which one is the real you."

@J.R. (Vampire Slayer Leader) Donghae snarled out in anger as he felt the other land on his back and try to cut off his oxygen. Did the other just attack him? Wait.. It spoke english? He grabbed the other's arm, ripping it off from around his throat with little resistance. "What the ____ are you?" Donghae hissed out in anger, his eyes growing pitch black in color as he scrambled to his feet stood up, eyeing the other up and down. 'what kind of specimen is this?' he half wondered to himself while flipping out a knife and pushing a button on the hilt of it, causing a blue laser blade that was 4 inches long to sparkle and spring to life. No way was he going to risk himself getting killed. Especially against some weakling. "A cyborg came this way around 8xt-9 time. tell me where he went, and I'll let you live... barely." he grunted while taking a step closer to the other, flashing the knife by his side as he fisted it in his hand, ready to use it while growing impatient with each passing second. "Cyborg. Direction, now."

@J.R. (Vampire Slayer Leader) As the space craft lowered, landing upon the wooded terrain, Donghae went over the various instructions for their mission with his other specials. "Spread out. Search for the cyborg. When you find him, notify the rest of us. Do not make contact with any of the creatures or humans dwelling here. We are here only to complete our mission and return." Donghae muttered while pulling on thick leather gloves for extra protection. Who knew what was out there? After all, the only thing they ever learned about this planet was from their zoo, and all those animals were imprisoned. Donghae hopped down from the machine, disappearing into the forest quickly. He knew he didnt have much time before the area was covered in darkness, and based on the size of this planet, it was larger then the moon they lived on. Donghae spotted a foot print buried deeply into the soft earth; squatting down to examine it before realizing it didnt belong to one of his specials nor a cyborg. His senses heightened as he scanned the area, sensing he wasnt alone.

@Song Qian (Level Three) Minhee was known to be able to figure out the feelings and emotions of other beings that were around her. No, she wasn’t a mind reader – she never could grasp the concept to do such (or create a spell for it), so it was all so foreign to her. But, she could tell that the woman before her, Song Qian, was going through something. However, she wasn’t going to be the one to pester her about why she was sitting in the Forest of Macalania on the ground in such a way. She walked towards her and knelt down before her as she wrapped her arms around her legs and stared into the eyes of the younger woman. “I don’t know what’s bothering you, and I won’t ask for that, but why did you come out like this alone? Although the Forest of Macalania is safe, it’s never recommended to tread any place in the Eternal Realm alone. It is not certain the barriers of this forest will keep dangers out.” She informed her calmly as she lightly touched the knee of the woman before her. However, as soon as the woman stood to her feet, Minhee did the same, her long dress covering her feet and touching lightly against the forest floor.

It was no surprise that Minhee would be out in the forest at this time. Day in and day out she was patrolling, casting her protective spells, monitoring the Ruby Center, and guarding her people. It would have tired many and although, yes she was slightly growing weary, it was something that she enjoyed doing – something that would cause her people to live a potentially safer life once she passed on (which she would extremely soon). She lightly bowed her head to the beautiful woman before her. It wasn’t strange for Minhee to encounter Humans who wandered the forest, but they were usually in groups and didn’t wander out too far. She raised an eyebrow as she studied the girl before her – she could sense that she was alone and, indeed, wasn’t coming to meet anyone here at the moment.

“Well, since the two of us are out together, we might as well walk around, yes? Besides, I wouldn’t mind giving you a little company if you’d like me to.” She smiled reassuringly as she indicated the direction that she was walking towards before she had met with the woman.

The forest was one of the places in which the Witch of Shadows, herself, had created in the hopes of sustaining beauty in a corrupt world. True, it had took many years in order to create what the Humans - her people - see now. She had wanted the small, innocent youth to be able to take pleasure in what beauty was left now. None were old enough to remember how the world once looked like this - bright, colorful, and full of life. She had hoped to have the children be able to grow up with one place having that for them to bask in, to relish, to thoroughly enjoy. Protected by her magic to thwart Vampires away if they tried to attack, and keep anyone other than the Humans out of the forest, this forest was the perfect place for her kind to roam freely. However, once they reached a certain point of the forest, she would immediately sense their trail and be there to warn them of the dangers of going out further. But, many never roamed deeply towards the outskirts of the forest where the backyard of her home resided, for they'd see the front of her hope, which faced the corruption in the world. She never worried of such things, though, for the Humans knew their boundaries - unlike other creatures out there in this world.

Her long gown trailed on the dirt path that led through the forest. Minhee reached down and picked up the tail of her dress, keeping it from staining as her bare feet were exposed underneath. She smiled as a slight breeze rolled past her, blowin her soft, long brown hair behind her. She loved it here. It was beautiful, peaceful, calming, and definitely colorful - a huge contrast to what the Eternal Realm was now...a desolate wasteland.

As she walked quietly through the forest - her footsteps barely making a sound - Minhee sensed a presence that could only come from someone of high stature in the low-lined Human species. A Level Three Human - one who possessed great powers and could control and manipulate magic, if trained perfectly. Her smile reappeared on her face as she caught a glimpse of the being who had sat quietly on the ground, unmoved, with her head leaned against the bark of the tree.

"Song Qian..." Minhee whispered to herself. It wasn't unusual that Minhee knew the name of each Human she came in contact with. It was her job as Witch of Shadows, as someone held high in the world of Humans. She slowly walked closer and looked down as she raised a slight eyebrow. "Song Qian, what seems to trouble your mind?" She asked as she dropped her gown and allowed it to touch the ground.
