the wind blew into the Cove,rushing over the water and into alexander's format,his red and brown hair swaing softly in the wind.He came to examine the cove to see if it was a nice place.what he found thought was not nice,having found bodies littering the cove he wandered in to see if teh attacks where here.sure enough they were and had now had him as a captive.

They Chained him to The stren of one of their ships with Chains of Silver and Gold,subsiding Alexander's Adnormal strenght with a few spells.he was now too weak from the trouge the stuck him thru,his body was littered with bruns and cuts,scars and marks.his head was hangign as he stood,pinned aginst the stren.

He needed help,he needed his Lifemate aswell to strength him but giving some blood,but she was away and he had no way of contacting her thru their mind link because of one of the spells.he just remained there as the Pirates mocked and poked at him.

Ciara had found herself along the shore of speaking shells early in the evening sitting just off the shorline running her hands through the dry sand. She had watched the sun set and felt something pulling at her. It wasn't just here that she felt it, it had been pulling her since she had travelled through the forest nt too long ago. She had wanted to come to the shore to keep her mind off other things, it had been a few days since she had heard from her beloved and she was quite upset that she could not seem to reach him. The last thing she remembered seeing or hearing from him was of the water and a cave. After that there was nothing. My dear Alexander, where are you my love? Her eyes rose from the sands as she continued to run her hands through it, up the the sparkling waters which seemed to go on in the distance. Why is it you do not speak to me? I miss you so, I wish to see you face again, where are you darling? She tried to speak to him but she found nothing of him in her mind. She frowned as the moon was up high in the sky now, the winds gently playing at her hair, as if pulling her hair in a direction down the shore. Her head turned as she sensed something in that direction, but searching what she could see, she found nothing. Standing, she let the handful of sands fall, being picked up by the winds and flying in the same direction, a soft glow rising from them as the bits were illuminated by the light of the moon. She walked aimlessly down the shore, saddened by the fact that she could not hear Alexander's thoughts.

Slowly his eyes difted shut as he grew weaker,his vision was now blurry,well what remained of the gap between his eye lids.He felt a pull,a low sence in his mind as if he was being spoken to.He aloud his sences to roam,a soft mountain air smell found his nose,it reminded him of his Beloved Ciara's temple.She Was here!he could feel it but he couldn't contact her thru Telepathy.

In a last ditch effort and hope of being saved Alexander called apon the last of his strenght,drawing in a deep breath before he let out a single word yell"Ciara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"his voice was so loud it echoed out og the hidden cove,traveling over the winds.One of the Pirates pucnhed Him in his stomach,his eyes difted apart as he gasped for air and soon passed out.

She had been walking along the shore as the winds rose and fall. Her long blonde hair being whipped in front of her. Ciara pulled the strands of hair down, trying to secure them down, but as the next wind rose, they flew free once more. What is it? Why can't you just leave me be, I am already upset enough. Can't you see? She wasn't really thinking these things to anything specific, she was just thinking them. Still saddened by the fact that she had not heard from Alexander. Shaking her head, she pouted, her head lowered to watch the still sands she walked upon. Perhaps I was not his lifemate at all, and he lied to me. Sighing heavily she held back a tear. It is not fair, he did not even tell me goodbye, he could of atleast told me he was leaving and that we had been wrong. Kicking at the sands again, the wind picked up the sands she kicked and took them farther away from her, glowing softly in the light as the others had.

Then she stopped, lookign around. She heard her name, faintly, being called, being carried on the wind. Could it be? She strained to find the direction, but the voice was still too soft to tell. Perhaps it is only the winds playing tricks on me once again, I hate when they do that. But something inside of her didn't believe all of what she thought. She stood still for a long moment, looking in all directions for a sign of the source but found nothing. Running a hand through her hair, she tilted her head curiously, ruffling her own hair trying to think. Well, since I am here, I will let the winds be my guide. They are blowing in this direction for now, I shall walk along this shore. There seems to be a cove or cave of some sort up ahead. Now that I think of it, I haven't been this far, perhaps a little adventuring will take my mind off things. Sighing again, she nodded to herself, stepping out, quickly making her way to the cove. Her step was not filled with as much spring as it usually was, but she tried to make the best of what was in front of her.

My love can you hear me?....I hope you can i'm being held captive by pirates...i shall try to escape."he called uot fomr his mind to her,hoping she heard it as he awoke.he closed his eyes,despite his weakening he had been pulling at the chains and was now able to pray them loose.

With one finally expand of his msucles the chains snapped,cuasing him to collaspe forward.Yet,He had no time to loose the pirates were on him in a second,lifting him up to chain him again.a kick and a punch now and then was all he could muster,failing on his escape they chained him again to the stren.

One pirate walked up and stabbed him with a dagger in his chest,they others followed stabbing at him repeatly untill his arms,chest,lower torso,and legs were covered in stab wounds.As his blood drained he closed his eyes.

As she walked, the shore became filled with rocks, not as sandy as it once was and there was a cove of some sort laid in front of her. There were bodies drawn about, flung over rocks and voices inside of the cove that echoed. It seemed as though they were fighting, but she could not make out what exactly was going on. As she continued to walk, she watched as she passed a few dead bodies. The stench of death was all around her and she scrunched her nose as if to push away the smell. The winds had died, giving her no aid and all she did was look up, shaking her head. Her hair falling down laying messily across her shoulders. "This is where you take me?" Her voice was low, as if not to draw any attention to herself from those that were in the cove. Shaking her head, she quickly moved across the rocky beach to the entrance of the cove, peeking in from one side.

There doesn't appear to be anyone there. But there was light farther down the cave and she lowered her eyes again, taking a moment to think about what she was doing. Suddenly, another gust of wind came blowing across the beach, taking up what sand was there and throwing it at her and the rocks she leaned against. "Alright alright, I take it I am supposed to go in, but I don't see why. I am liable to be hurt inside here." The winds were rising again as she stepped inside the cave, more voices coming from inside as the light grew stronger. Ciara shook her head. I should not be here. The cave curved, she peered around the corner with just the top of her head, only allowing only a small portion of her head to be seen as she peeked into a room within the cave. There were men, who were bickering back and forth on one end of the room. On the other, was Alexander. She frowned and let out a small whine as he hung from the wall almost lifelessly. Why did you not call for me my love? I would have come to you. She tried to speak to him, hoping he was still alive and that he would tell her the reasons why.

Mountain smeel again,Ciara's smell,Came to his nose he opened his eyes half way and saw her head peeked around the corner.He lifted hid brusied and beaten head up,his eyes fell on her as he tried to smile but couldn't.She came....good.....his mind flowed now,too low was his power for the spells to stop him now they were design for higher strength then what he had at the moment.

His mind locked to her's,the sound of his weak voice came but only in short half words or few at most."Spells...stoping mind.....sooo...Weak.....Leave....Catch you..."he lifted his head up and looked over at the brickeing men,tring to determine a way to keep them from seeing her,but he was begining to lose the battle to remain awake.

Ciara watched as his eyes opened, she suddenly felt guilty for all of the things she had thought poorly about him, how he had lied and such. She closed her eyes, pulling away from the cave. As she sighed heavily, the bickering seemed to soften, her eyes flashing open a soft glow in them as she again peeked around the corner to see that the men had wandered off, away from the table they had been near. Her eyes kept watch from either side for any sign of their return as she tiptoed closer to where Alexander was. My dear, I cannot just leave you here to die, I will not let that happen to you. She was looking at him while she spoke to him through her mind, hoping he still heard every word she said. I will get you out of here, I promise you. The men's voices had all but fallen silent, she quickly darted across the room as there was no sign of them for the moment.

Her eyes searched the many chains that held him to the wall, she frowned once more. How did they get you here? Why would they do this to you? Her hands works quickly as she tried to unchain him from the stern. She also tried to keep it quite but she could not help but let them rattle while she unchained Alexander from the wall. "We will get out of here and we will heal you up. Please, we must go now before they return, come with me out here." Her eyes looked up to his face, she was frightened for a moment that he was not going to make it. "Please just a little further and you will be free and away from these men." Her voice was hushed as she heard the men coming back, they were talking now, no longer bickering back and forth as they were. Her eyes looked to the hall in the direction from which they were coming then back to Alexander. "Alexander, please." She pulled at him, trying to drag him but even as light as he was she would not get them out of there in time before they were both caught by the pirates.

As she worked on the chains he could feel her close to him,even if he couldn't see anymore,the blood lose from his wounds did this.He smled at her courage and enjoied the touch of her as she held him,pleding o him to hurry so he could be free,and even enjoied the question of why they did this to him.

He heard the men coming back,he called apon all of his strength and lifted her up,running as quickly as he could in his weaken state untill they got out of teh cove,just before the men came back.their screams and angry shouts came to his ears as he collaspe apon the sand,his sounds bleeding."Ohhh...i can't go much further."

"Please you must. I cannot carry you alone." She lifted his chin, looking into his eyes not knowing whether he could see or not. She seemed to plead with him to keep going, she did not know what else to do, she had no way of getting him out of there alone. She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly as she tried her best to lift him up and drag him over the sands, but as the men grew closer, she paniced, losing her balance and falling to the sands once again. Looking back, her eyes flashed a hot red shade as she sighed heavily.

Turning toward the men, she looked around the beach standing as she lifted her hand, pointing toward a small cluster of rocks. Taking up about three of the rocks, she waved her hand toward the men, intending to hit them with the rocks, hopefully giving them enough time to escape. She ran back to Alexander, kneeling beside him. "We must go now." She had no idea what else to do, she couldn't think of anything that would aid them besides stalling the men behind them. As she turned back, she realized that they were now getting up and nearing their spot on the rocky beach. "Alexander...." She was still knelt down over him as they approached them, she couldn't carry him by herself but she wouldn't leave him for those rotten men once again.

((hope u dont mind if i join, if not ignore this post))


-suddeny a big shadow flew over Ciara and Alexander as it was warrior with his black wings spread gently lead by the winds-

-he landed infront of Ciara and Alexander, he looked at alexander who was bleeding what happend? he said while he turned and faced the men who started running in there direction again as they where stunned for a moment when the big shadow flew over the beach-

it looks like you have got to take care of another man ,because he needs to get out of here Ciara, i will carry him if u allow me

Ciara nodded to warrior. "Please, take him away from this place, far enough to where these men will not reach him but not too far that I cannot find you. I will hold them here so that you might get away. Now go." She grazed Alexander's face with one of her hands, tears stinging her eyes as she laid him upon the sands. Reaching for her wand, she waved it in front of her glaring at the men. "I would not step any closer if I were you." The men only laughed at her. "And what might you do? There are three of us and only one of you." They laughed still, thinking they had her outnumbered and overpowered. Ciara turned back to make sure that warrior would get Alexander away.

all Alexander could hear was Ciara's Voice,full of panaic that he knew the men had followed them.As he slipped in and out of the abyssmal void of Unconsiouness he heard Warrior.Thank the gods someone else was hear to help he thought as he was let ot the ground,hearing Ciara speak to the men.

His eyes opened slowly,blood shot and were the blood red rivers weren't his eyes had become jet black from the pain.He tried to get up once,failing at it he laid back down before tring once more,useing his Sowrd Of Air to help him up.His knees wubbled under him as he rose up,very slwoly.He couldn't see anything besides blurry shadows,buthe could make uot which one their were.

Warrior was on his right and Ciara was infront of him,standing between him and the pirates.slwoly and very rigidly he stood straight up,shaking voilently form the blood lose.His blood was still leaking out and leaking wrose as he pushed his body.
lifting his sowrd up he began to take a step foward,his foot shaking and makinf it hard to stay balanced,but he was intent on helping Ciara.

His shadow Came next to her's as he stood now next to her,his cannies fully extend and grithing as the pain in his body grew more unbareble at every second he breathed.thru his grith teeth he spoke towards the men"Corr...Corret...Correction....There is two of us and three of you....Three on three if you can't the other.."blood flowed fomr his mouth as he spoke,pain shooting thru his body,making him go rigid for a spilt second.

Ciara frowned at the sight of Alexander standing next to her. She was glad that he was there but he had been too weakened to fight. The pirates had appeared to grow in number from the time she last looked. "You cannot fight, you are already wounded far more than your body can take." She smiled weakly at him as she kept an eye on the pirates who were now coming across the rocky beach. "You must go before they destroy you. I shall be fine." Taking his hand, she squeezed it gently, trying to reassure him that she would be alright. Her mind raced as she tried to think of some way to get him out of harms way.

He frowned"i'll be fine.....really." he knew she knew he was lieing,but he couldn't help it.

he rose and slamed his sword inot teh ground as they came fourth,a wall of wind exploding fomr the tip,tearing thru their line,throwing them off into the air.The aftershock caused him pain but he ingored it.

Ciara disliked the fact that he would not leave, she could not let him continue on like this. She knew that he was lying at she saw right through those lies. Searching for an answer deep inside her she turned to Alexander leaning in to gently kiss his cheek whispering softly into his ear. "Beria mia mela yassen pirukend sulea." She smiled to him as she let him go and a massive whirlwind formed around him, forming a somewhat protective barrier for him. The center standing still as the winds around him raged spiraling upward into the sky. "You may have promised to protect me, but this is a time where I must protect you." She turned from him, watching for warrior as she walked to the group of men that were coming at them.

He smiled weakly before falling down on the ground,his body had no more enegry he was near death now.he closed his eyes as the wirlwind raged,smiling to himself as he went out cold.his bdoy bleeding onto the sand,making it a goldish red color.

He twicthed as he became deadly cold,and dreamed of horride things.

Ciara frowned at the thoughts that ran through her mind as she watched as Alexander dreamt. She tried to force the thoughts away, but she could not, they clouded her mind. There were at least 8 men left, much more than she figured she could handle, but she knew she had to try, for her beloved. He would do the same for her if their places were switched and she would not allow any more harm to come to him. Raising her wand, she concentrated, her skin slowly beginning to darken in it shade as her voice whispered the same words over and over again. "Yal calim Pelekt." It was soft so that even those around her would have had to strain to hear it. As the men grabbed her arms she smiled as she drew the toxins to her skins surface and concentrated on their touch, the men dropping around her, gasping. Many bolts of lightning stuck the sands of the rocky beach. Several men were struck, others grazed but still falling. Her magic was still new to her, but she knew the ways to use it.

Turning, she sighed heavily as the whirlwind around Alexander slowed and calmly disappeared. She had grown tired from the amount of energy she had just spent and was glad that it was over. She could tend to her love now, taking him far away from this place and save the worry of all of this for another day. She had thought she had won the battle, but with a quick and strategic spell, the last unseen standing pirate landed a blow with a magic from another land. (The spell reflect/mirror to her summon lightning.)

Ciara fell to the sands as she neared Alexander, her breath feeling as though it had been caught away from her. The pirate fell shortly after she had, thinking he and his men had won the fight against her. The force and energy of the bolt left her steaming in the sands, her long dress singed. Her skin smoothed back to the pale color that it once was and she lay there silent, only a few paces from Alexander.

Pain Sruged thru his body as he laid there,Feeling every ounce of her pain as Ciara had gotten sturck.He groaned as his body countned ot bleed,without the slighiest bit of healing,he was to weak to heal himself.He opend his eyes and looked over,seeing only her blurry image he grined,knwoing what he must do.

Calling apon all the strength and Engery Left in his body he raised his Hand towards her singed body and graments.His hand Glow light Blue as he bgean to chant in a low voice.Ista Orkin Normic...Velitl!"The glow appeared around Ciara's body as It began to work it's magic,healing every wound she had recicved on her body and inside.

His eyes rolled back as he passed out,all of his engery gone now,his soul slipping away as he fought to hold on.

A few moments time had past, and Ciara's eyes fluttered open. The violet color had faded from them, leaving them teal. She rubbed at her face, her eyes seemed to water. Letting out a deep sigh, she lifted herself up from the sands. Her once long blonde hair, now a light grey in color, even though the white strands still remained, there were now strands of black. Running a hand through the hairs, she realized that her frosted markings were no more, but looked like colorless scars across her arm and legs.

Panicing, she didn't remember where she was. Looking around, her eyes fell upon Alexander and her heart sank. Quickly she crawled over to where he lay in the sands. The blood had puddled and she didn't feel his presense. Lifting him into her lap, she looked around, the pirates had gone and the memory of the recent events flooded through her. She lifted Alexander more, laying him in her lap and rocking with him as tears stung her eyes.

She did her best to heal his wounds, closing them, but her attempts didn't seem to heal the damage that was done. A tear fell from her eye, rolling down her cheek. Alexander, please don't go. I have only just found you. She hugged onto him, stroking his hair as she again tried to heal him, but the wounds appeared to be too deep.


She had forgotten about her own transformation, forgot the panic that it had brought. Her only concerns were of Alexander and healing him. She lay with him in the sands hoping that her magic would be enough to bring him back from wherever he had went. And still she called to him through their linked minds. Alexander...

Alexander...."Alexander?....That's my name......"He spoke to himself as his nakkid,curled into a ball, body Difted between space and time.His life travled past him as he remained in a ball,the warth of all the love making him smile.

A light shone apon him,Two figures Appeared before him,one laing it's ahnd on his shoulder and speaking in a soft female voice"alexander.....Wake up.....Wake-up...it's not your time....son..."alexander looked up at the two figures,relizing them to be his long since dead parents.he smiled to them both.

the second figure,his father came fourth"My son it's not your time...but even though you won't die fomr this you will be changed.....Both pyhsical and Mentally......Your mind will be whiped clean of your fighting knowledge..only able to come back when you need them or call apon your vampire side."the man took a breath and sighed,touching Alexander's closed eyes"And sadlly you will never see again even in your vampiric form....your eyesight shall be lost foever....but enough go bakc to your Lifemate my son..."

Alexander's perents fadded away as he groaned,while awaking in Ciara's lap"mmmm......Ciara my love?"

Ciara squeezed him gently. Yes I am here. Welcome back. She was happy to hear his voice again, it was a treat to her ears. I was afraid for a moment that I have not thought of what my actions would do, that you would be taken from me. She frowned now, stroking his hair as they lay in the sands. Occassionally she would turn from time to time to check behind them that no one else was coming. She had lost sight of warrior and wondered where he had gone. Taking a deep breath in, she smiled down to him. I should have just gotten us away from this place. I shouldn't have tried to take them all on, but in the beginning there were only three. She sighed, hoping he would say something to reassure her that things were alright again. That she had made the right choice though she did her best to hide how she felt from him at this time.

"You did what was best...and i'm grateful for it...i wouldn't have lived if you hadn't atleast came here....."he squeezed her hand very weakly,but reassuring,knowing she was different.he opened his eyes,his heart skipping a beat as he saw nothin but Darkness....He was truely blind.

He smiled weakly relizing he didn't need his sight he had his Love and that is all that mattered to him.he tried to lean up,but,because of his wounds was unable.he just laid back and smiled more"I love you and i'm happy too have you as my lifemate....nothin you could do would ever make me less to you....nothin."he held her hands softly,his cold as ice as he tried to bring a spark of happiness back into her.

She did smile, but weakly. "You are freezing. Is there anything I can do for you now?" She had wanted for him to heal, she sensed that something was wrong, but he was speaking to her, like he always did, so she pushed away any worry that rose. "All you have to do is tell me what you need, it will be done." Leaning down, she kissed the top of his head and then laid her cheek against it. "By the way, who were those men and what did they want with you?" At these thoughts she did worry. Worried that they might come back to finish what they had started. That they might succeed next time.

He smiled up at her"No i'm fine my love once we return to the Temple i'll retreat to the Healing Soil of the earth and sleep untill i'm healed."he smiled more at her kiss as he stared at her,his eyes now Pure white."I couldn't tell you my love...the must have been the ones that atacked my boat on the way here....and since i survived it was time to get rid of me."

She frowned at his words then gasped slightly at the sight of his eyes. Taking his face in her hands, she gently tilted his head farther back so that she could see his eyes in the light. She had thought they were a different color and in doing this, she saw that she was right. Your eyes.... It was unusual for anyones eyes to be the color that his were and she didn't know it was right or now. He did not seem bothered by them and she thought for a moment that it was just part of his vampiric side, nothing that hurt him. What is wrong with your eyes? She couldn't speak, there was a lump in her throat and she looked into his eyes. She could hardly see anything in them anymore, it was like they were someone else's eyes. What happened to you? She hadn't let him speak and she only grew more worried as she answered her own questions with horrible answers. Her heart began to race a bit, worried that the worst had happened.

He allowed her to move his head,gladden by the fact there was no pain in it,he looked towards her,the white pupils and irises looking into her's.He took in a breath"All the troute and spells i was put thru have taken a toll on me....My eye are blinded...i can't see anymore...and when i change to my vampiric form i'll see only blurry images.....i may heal i may not but there is no real difference...i can see cleary thru your eyes."he smiled towards her,tring to block out the images she was bringing up with her own anwsers.

She looked into his eyes, still searching for something, but she didn't know what. It is all my fault, I should have come sooner. I should have gotten you away from this place instead of standing my ground. Turning away, she took a deep breath in. Tears stung her eyes but she didn't allow them to fall. Shaking her head she stroked his hair once more, playing with it in her fingers. I should have healed you much sooner. I am sorry. You are blind because of me. She hadn't intended to use so much time that it would cost him his sight. She felt horrid for what had happened and did not understand how such a thing could happen. She turned back to him again, looking down upon his face, touching it lightly, thankful that he was still with her. She knew that things could have been much worse than they were if she hadn't come at all.

"Don't you ever say that my love...You did what you could and it was my choice to come here so it is not your fault."he gently laid his hand on her face,his thumb touching a tear,making him forwn at tghe very thought fo her cring.i will eventully heal my love...it is nothin to worry about....i'm still the man i was and will always be...."he spoke into her mind gently,assuring her it would be fine.

I know you are, but I cannot help but feel that I am responsible for your loss of sight. It is something that I do not wish to be taken away from you. She did her best to feel better, but couldn't. Leaning down, she kissed his forehead then tilted his head back to kiss his lips gently. "Nothing can change you of who you are, I will always love you." Her words were soft and gently and then she kissed him once more. As she kissed him, her mind slipped away and she forgot of most that had happened that evening, though there were still questions on her mind. She would save them for another time. Right now she was thankful that he was there with her and not some place far far away where she could not reach him.

"I know my love..it his something i wished not to have taken awya either but it happen nonetheless...could've been wrose."he spoke gently to her before kissing back each time she kissed,his wounds were healing alreayd and he would soon be able to walk,but untill he got to the soil he wouldn't fully heal.He smiled up at her after her lips parted his"Do you think we should head back now?...Are you up to it?"he spoke with worry in his voice for he knew what had happen and didn't wnat to over-work her.

She nodded, forgetting for a moment that he could not see her and she kissed his lips once more. Yes, I am ready, we may go. Shall I call for assistance or would you like to walk back to the Temple? Ciara didn't know what he was capable of and did not want to rush him. She felt that there might be something else wrong that she didn't know about yet, but again didn't push the subject know that he would tell her if there was anything else. For the first time since she had awoken, she realized that she herself was not the same, something inside of her stirred. Her eyes narrowed curiously as she shook her head to shake the thoughts but still the feeling was there. She stood, pulling his arms up so that he might stand with her and test his balance and strength.
