"Well there are MANY kinds. Like the basics vanilla and chocolate, then there's mint, caramel, mix and there's these new ones I hear there making it's Peppermint! I wanna try that one. Actually I once went to a pudding fair and people made their favors and such..." Clovis went on.
We talked about that subject for a while, It was over all, A pretty good conversation.
Then, there was a rustle in the bushes, as if something were following us. I began to become a little paranoid.
"I think we should get out of here..." Clovis stated, taking a few paces back.
"It's probably nothing...At least I hope." I said, trying to be brave.
The thing kept coming towards us, and it became larger.
Then, It disapearred.
Well, Uh...I guess we can keep moving then. Come on let's go." He started to turn.
"yeah.....Sure....." I mumbled, starting to follow him.
It became quiet. Even the wind had stopped, which had to be bad.
"MOVE!!!" We both exlaimed at eachother as a very string gust of wind came at us.
The blasts of wind kept coming, It was no time to relax. We tried to dodge everything.
"What's going on here?! And where are these coming from?!" Clovis asked, grunting.
"How the hell would I know!!!" I answered.
I spotted a bridge, and took Clovis with me. I dragged him away.
"This is the exit!" I stated.
I looked around at the surroundings, and the gusts of winds had stopped. I crossed my arms against my chest, and let og of Clovis. I looked at him expectantly.
"I...have no idea where to go now." I admitted.
~~~
Yeah.
Meridan taught a bit of what I asked and I waited till he answered. I hoped he would say yes even tho it seemed strange I a vampire was asking a Angel to travel with me.
"Sure..." He said."That's actually a pretty great idea."
I was so happy he had said that, I was even going to hug him. But that would seem strange so I tried to hold the erg in ad just nodded. When we begain to walk he suddenly ask.
"So...Do you like Pudding?"
I thought it was a strange thing to ask but some thing is some to talk about."Like...Pudding? Like, a certain kind?" I asked.
"I guess, Yeah." He replied.
"I...don't know." I said.
"Well there are MANY kinds. Like the basics vanilla and chocolate, then there's mint, caramel, mix and there's these new ones I hear there making it's Peppermint! I wanna try that one. Actually I once went to a pudding fair and people made their favors and such..."
He really liked pudding it seemed... He continued to talk about it and so did I for some time untill we both heard something in front of us, moving the bushes as if were coming towards us slowly. Ether of us could tell at the time what it was, we just know it wasn't good.
"I think we should get out of here..." I said backing away as I did.
"It's probably nothing...At least I hope." he said.
It kept coming towards us fast and fast as it did, and looked bigger as it came also the shadow figure look almost 10feet high. Then it suddenly just stoped moving. It look as if it wasn't there any more. Despaired into thin air...We both looked at each other in confusion. What just happened...? Some thing that big couldn't just disappear like that...Could it...?
"Well uh...I guess we can keep moving then. Come on lets go." I said turning to mountain path.
"yeah.....Sure....." He came behind me.
Then it just got too quite, not a sound any where. And even the wind had suddenly stopped...Any one would know...It's not a good sigh. Hearing the faint sound of the wind accumulating, our thoughts were confirmed. We then looked at each other again and said "MOVE!!!" As soon as we did a blast of wind came at us which cut though the trees in it's way. It seemed we jumped away on time but had no time for rest as they kept coming at us from every angle.
"Whats going on here?! And where are these coming form?!" I yelled, trying to doge them all.
"How the hell would I know!!!"
We kept running and dodging as much as we could. Even thought we were fast we couldn't doge them all and got hit a few times.Reaching to edge of the cliff Manden spotted the bridge. He then grabbed my arm at toke my with him.
"This way to the exist." He said as he dragged me away.

I can't seem to write anything now... I'm on chibi drawing mode. My story mood left me... You may go on if you want.
Sorry I haven't posted for some time...
I've just been so busy. It's been event after event AFTER event here. I'm going to try to post some thing up here soon.
Again sorry.
James had run so far ahead, it wasn't even funny. But there was no way I was going to run from that beast. I had picked up speed, but if he got NEAR me, it was dead. And then, it blocked my path. A horridly large beast with foul breath I could smell even at this distance, and a huge club in it's right hand. There was a horn atop it's head, and it seemed the beast only had but a single eye. Cyclops...no...not exactly. Some sort of mix breed. The rest of his body didn't follow suit. A large mass...like a fat horse...or something...
It reared up and screeched at the top of its lungs. I raised my eyebrow. "You don't say?" I spoke sarcastically. As it came back down, I jumped at it. Landing on the other side, I started to walk off. The beast stood there frozen...just before falling to the ground. Whining in miserable pain as it slowly died. I smirked. I had just broken every single one of his bones at the joints, causing massive internal damage...of which he would bleed to death in no time. After all...I had just shattered several of those bones. Which would in turn, pierce major arteries and perhaps organs.
When I finally started to catch up to James again, I caught a familiar scent. Mei! I ran as fast as I could, coming out just behind James. He had smashed into the pureblood woman, Jezabelle. Standing right beside her was my Mei. "...Mei..." I spoke in a relieved tone.
"Shori!" She exclaimed and embraced me. I held onto her tightly. I had been so worried...
--Shori
-+-
"Oh Shori! I was so worried!" I shouted. "I didn't know what happened to you! I knew you were alright...all I knew to do was to head to the village...I'm so happy..." Tears started to form in my eyes...but knowing that Jezabelle and yet another pureblood were in the room made me force them back in. I wiped the stray tear away quickly.
"I'm glad you're alright too Mei...I knew you would head for the village...so I had faith." Shori spoke calmly, holding me tightly.
We walked over and sat down. Shori acted as my chair, and I clung tightly to him. Not wanting to ever let him go again.
"Have a seat you two...we should get some rest, then leave as soon as the sun starts to set." Shori instructed James and Jezabelle. "It's a pleasure meeting you again, Lady Oread."
"The Pleasure is mine, Sir Benitsuki. I Understand the need to rest. However shouldn't we try going before the sun fully sets?" Jezabelle asked, popping out her umbrella.
"No." Shori stated flatly. "I don't only suggest this course of action because of the journey TO the village. Once there, we are to engage 'DEMONS'. We need all of our strength, therefore, we shouldn't put ourselves out in direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure will result with us in a weakened state. I want to be ready for the battle ahead."
"Well, when you put it that way..." She relinquished taking a seat.
I felt myself getting very drowsy. "Sleep Mei..." I heard Sho's gentle voice urge me as he stroked my hair ever so delicately. "Wait a moment...what happened to your hat?" He whispered.
My eyes shot open for a moment as I remembered Adam holding it. Looking to the side, I replied, "I...lost it..." I couldn't tell Shori about him...I just couldn't...
"Oh...well I'll get you another." He smiled. "Now get some rest."
I felt so bad for lying...I would tell him soon. But I couldn't let him get distracted...slowly I closed my eyes...and before I knew it...I was fast asleep.
It didn't feel like I slept long. Before I knew it, I was being shook awake. I was the last one too...Jezabelle and James were both wide-awake. I sat up straight, wiping a slight drool from my mouth, blushing slightly. "It's time to go." Shori urged.
I stretched, preparing my body for a sprint. My wounds had all healed, I was in top shape now. I gave Jezabelle a mischievous glance. If she had thought I'd moved fast last night...just wait until she saw me now. "We have to be there by dawn right? We have plenty of time." I asked.
"Yes, the teachers informed us that we are all to arrive before dawn, however I intend to be early. Prompt and on time." Jezabelle spoke bluntly.
"Hah...you would think you were racing or something..." I commented lowly, but coughed and hoped she hadn't heard. "Whatever...let's just go."
After leaving the cave, the sun was still slightly visible, but fading fast. I smiled over at Shori, then looked at Jezabelle and dashed off. She had obviously caught my grin, she was at my side in an instant.
"I see you're moving much quicker, No-...Shimei."
"You've picked up your pace too. Don't tell me you were going light last night because I was wounded." I commented back. "You're so thoughtful." I joked.
"If I wanted to...I could easily leave you in the dust."
"Ditto." I challenged, picking up my speed. I got ahead of her...but only for a bit, before she stepped up her game and caught up to me again.
The rest of the 'journey' was a bit of a blur. I kept side-by-side pace with Jezabelle...and we were at the village in no time. Sho and James far behind us. We smirked at one another.
"Not bad Jezabelle...not bad." I spoke, not even out of breath.
"Not bad yourself...Shimei." She said, with equal vigor.
Suddenly we heard clapping...loud clapping approaching us. "FINALLY Someone gets here!" I went on guard instantly. "And what better than two beautiful little ladies. Ciao Bellas...tell me...did either of you take the BRIDGE?" He commented with a sadistic smirk. It was Makoto the demon...
Shimei

Okay...I may be turning some of my posts into third person, so I can just combine Sho and Mei. LOLz! But yep, there you go Dark, as requested. teeheehee...grand scheme. >XDD
JAMES
Following Shori i held my PSP high trying to light the way.... but the caves were too dark. After a couple minutes of staaring at Shori's head I began to check out the walls, rounded at the top, inperfect edging... Not like modern tunnels today, you could even see the indervisual marks of the picks and what not that was used....
As i stared to my side i suddenly hit into something, looking infront of me i saw Shori staring at me. I put my free hand behind my head and smiled stupidly... GREAT i just walked into him, He looked back infront of him and he stayed still. Coming closer i looked over his shoulder and saw the massive drop that was before us. A sheer cliff face that plumted into a dark hole. I stared in amazment down the hole, meanwhile SHori was staring off into the distance. I looked up at him then followed his gaze. Several yards away (to far to jump, even for me) was what looked to be another ledge. But after staring for a short while i realised that what looked like the ground of the ledge was actually the top of the walls for a GIANT maze.
My mouth gaped open, Labyrith. GREAT. Now all i could think about was Minotaur and Hecules's rippling muscles. I took a step back and started to try and make my bicepts look bigger. After a couple tries i looked up to see Shori Staring at me with a... well lets just say... NOT NICE stare. I smiled again and then began to whistle. I walked in a small circle while he continued to stare at me. Eventually i decided ignoring him should work.... I leant against the solid wall...At least that's what i THOUGHT it was.
Tumbling i slid down the incline, rolling over and over again. Slaming face first into the ground i stopped.
"Ow...." i heard a grinding sound and raised my head in time to see shori 'sliding' gracefully down the incline.
"Good Job. You found our path." I couldn't help but growl at him. As he walked past me I ensured my fangs were still sharp and pointed. I pricked my finger against each, PEFECT, as always. Walking behind him i took out my PSP and brushed it lightly. Thankfully it obtained no injuries, But i did get a nasty cut on my cheek.
Healing in seconds I looked up from my PSP screen to see Shori had vanished.
"SHORI. OI, where are you!!!??" no answer came back.... As i looked around me trying to see where he could of went my psp made a familiar and gut-renching sound.... the LOW BATTERY SIGNAL!!!!!
"NO, NO, NO... you can't be dead... you can't!!!" I hit the screen against my palm and yet still, the screen faded. The darkness crept in. Closing all around me... This was the end, I couldn't last here.
"James! This way." I turned around clutching my dead player to my chest. Shori was half in, half out of a WALL!!! I walked closer my eyes open in amazement. WHAT THE HELL!!!? i tried to touch the wall, it was holographic! COOL!!!!!!
I continued to follow him, that is until A TRAPDOOR!! Shori fell through it, i tried to follow but it closed shut before i could enter. I tried to free SHori but the edges where almost weilded to the ground. I gave up.... Eventually continuing on i stumbled through another 'hollow wall' falling through and landing on my back i sat there trying to think what i should do next.
A warm breeze fluttered on my neck... no..... a hot.... BREATH... Panic shook my body, i remained ridged. Slowly turning around i looked to see a set of red eyes glowing in the dark. Staring at me, as though looking through me and seeing only my soul... Just wait... do Vampires have souls??
I got onto my hands and knees and backed away slowly, the eyes followed centimetres from my face, almost touching. As my foot exited through were it came the beasty yelled out a horrible bellow. The sound echoing off the walls... Scared like ANYTHING i RAN out of there as fast as possible. The thing had wings and flew after me, the maze i was in had no ceiling, the thing flew above me carelessly as i had to dodge the walls and turn around the corners.
As i rounded a corner a hit into a solid wall. A dead end. my hands instinctavly went to cover my face, anything but my beautiful face! The beast landed on the tops of the walls. It looked like a black teridactal. It's beak as long as my arm, and thincker then me. It's eyes huge and nothing but an eerie glowing red. Wings that were taller then 2 of me standing ontop of each other. HUGE BEASTY.... BIG BEASTY
"Nice creature of hell, good creature of hell.... don't hurt daddy now...." it leaned in closer and i covered my face with both my arms. This time my life didn't flash before my eyes... instead my grandma's voice came through
"You are a Desruk, the most powerful of all Vampires. You should be scared of NOTHING... and everything should be scared of YOU." Even her French accent came through. Uncovering my arms and looked at it.... Taking a deep breath in i thrusted out my chest, I wasn't scared of this little thing.
Snapping it's jaws i quicly exhaled and backed against the wall... OK i WAS scared of it!!!! We stayed like that for ages, or what seemd like ages. I couldn't help but look it over, it's massive strutcure, wings of scariness, beak of gigantic size (IF i go to heavan that beak is going to be TRIPLE that size)... it's bleeding leg....
My eyes instantly took a double-take. Bleeding leg..... A beeze came up and now i could smell it. Sweet yet powerful and strong. I hadn't had a bit to eat in ages. A cocky smile spread on my face. A split second later i tore off it's wing. Licking the blood that came seeping out, it tried to defend with it's beak. Taking my gaze off the gushing blood i grabbed it's beak and twisted its head in towards me until i heard the satifying 'creak' of bone. It fell onto the floor on the other side of the wall. Soaking up the blood, i finally looked up after i had enjoyed my fill only to see a short stought figure standing before me. Dull skinned, large beard, a large club in it's hand and a it's beard a fantastic orange/red colour. A Dwarve, the first i had ever seen in my entire life.....
Staring at it i couldn't help but think killiing whatever that thing was... might NOT have been a good idea.
"You are the fellow accompaning Master Shori from the Hano Academy am i correct?" the use of language from this monstrosity was amazing and i couldn't help but gap.
"Sir, am i correct? Your physical description matches that of what Master Shori advised us, however your skill with culling our guard bird suggests otherwise."
"ahhh, yeah.... I'm with Shori."
"Then please follow me this way sir."
I followed him until he hit his club against a trap door. and we both went down. He told me how he and his fellow Dwarves had inhabitated this place recently, and that there were still many more monsters to be faced infront of us if we tried to exit from the other side. After a short while i came upon Shori once more, He was well and thanked our guest for their considerations. After they told us the route out we were left to ourselves.
"They were nice." i said as we walked on. Before Shori could say anything more a ghastly bellow was heard, not like that of the bird i had killed before but something much worst. Deeper, louder, more threatening. It couldn't be a beast that we had any chance of defeating......... ok....ok....ok...... what did the Dwarve say??
Right, right, left, right, straight, down and then through a hollow wall, right and your out.....
The sreech got closer, the ground shook with giant footsteps. Shori picked up his speed and i followed suit. Another Bellow... this one CLOSER and LOUDER. I began to scream and ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Following the directions I heard a voice ahead of me but i didnt' care. Running i closed my eyes and hoped nothing happened to Shori.... i hadn't heard him beside me... or start to run.....
Running, my lungs starting to hurt i hit into somehting. I went sprawling on the floor and landed ontop of JEZABELLE
------------
and this is were Jezabelle's post comes in to..... hopes everyones ok with this... i guess the Dwarves can help you if you get lost.... or need someone... but i left the beasty that scares James to you lot and of course remeber there are MANY more beasties roaming around the labiryth....
