I opened my eyes taking an unnecessary breath. I tasted and smelled bacon in the air, and automatically turned my head away from the smell in disgust. I could hear the sizzling of the oil on the other side of the house.I got up and was by Deilian’s side in he fraction of a second ” why are you cooking bacon? were all alone, we don’t need to keep up this jig.” I said signing. He turned around to face me, his movements dull and sluggish, the way he acted when around humans.His currently crimson eyes danced playfully, he looked like a man in his late thirties with gray hair tied back in a pony tail and a pair of unnecessary spectacles rested on his nose. ” My dear, you must learn habits so that you can do them without thinking, especially ones of such importance as ours.” he said a smile dancing across his lips and turned back to the sizzling bacon. I sighed annoyed ” Ugh, your gonna drive me crazy if you keep acting so human!” I said angrily.As I began to turn around his hand shot out, with his usual flowing movements,so quick that they would be unregistered by human eyes.With one flick of his wrist he spun me around and gently lay his other hand on my other shoulder.” Azia,control yourself, remember your restless behavior had almost gotten you killed several times.” He said, his hands slid of my shoulders and with one more quick movement he tossed the bacon out of the window. I sighed, I knew he was right, I had many times unknowingly almost got myself killed and he saved me every time. “come on get ready it’s time for school.” I heard his voice say from upstairs, accompanied by the rustling of paper as he gathered his teaching materials.I darted to my room grabbed my back pack slinging it over my shoulder and darted out of the door. A split second later I heard the whisper of wind as Deilian dashed out of the house, locking the door without ever stopping. Then he was beside me, his movement once again slowed to a sluggish human pace. I growled quietly under my breath as I imagined that my limbs felt heavier, and forced myself to move at an irritatingly slow pace. He smiled at me, then closed his eyes, sitting down on the floor.My accurate  eyes noticed the slight change in his posture as he became unconscious then almost immediately regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes they were a rich jade.I sighed again repeating his gesture, feeling the slight burn as I willed my eyes to alter color. I stood up and look into the mirror satisfied with my light blue eyes. I nodded to him “Okay, lets go” . He nodded back and we walked to his black Volvo. After a ‘short’ drive we arrived at the high school. We got out and walked to the front doors.” remember don’t do anything suggesting your not human no matter what happens.” he whispered as a reminder then kissed me on the forehead before walking away to the teachers lounge. I was left standing alone staring at the front doors. “joy oh joy another day at my wonderfull human highschool!” I said sarcastically scowling at the doors, then shrugged my shoulder, making the strap of my backpack slide up my shoulder and walked in.

I pushed my way through the mass of warm, moist bodies, I could feel the burn in my throat, pitched dangerously high by the mouth watering smell.I shook my head trying to ignore the burn.I immediately though of the Twilight series, it always puzzled me how close to the truth those books got, thank goodness there was no such thing as the Volturi.I froze, narrowing my eyes.Here came the most annoying human alive, Keira. Whith her pink jacket overdone makeup and puckered lips, she probably though herself good looking, I shuddered.Then I noticed the way she was walking was, more, well clumsy, then usual, then my eyes darted to her shoes and I almost burst out laughing.She was wearing hot pink high heels and as she walked she placed one foot in front of the other, moving her hips from side to side. I raised an eyebrow at her,” Ummm whats up with the-?” I began to ask but she raised her hand silencing me,”please don’t een talk to me weirdo, i know your jealous.” she said gesturing to her shoes with her identically ridiculous handbag.This time I couldn’t stop myself from laughing, and felt several heads tur toward me, and my laugh was  echoed by several others. Keira huffed angrily ” Nerds!”she mumbled turning away and stomping away, her heels clicking on the tile.Suddenly one of the heels snapped of and she fell, with a shrill scream.I broke into a new fit of laughter…. right when Deilian dashed out of his classroom, signing when he saw me.He helped Keira up, who was currently sobbing about her poor shoes,and looked at me,, his eyes furious and his jaw clenched tightly ” i didnt do it.” i whispered only loud enough for him to hear. ” i don’t care.” he whispered back, before leading  Keira to the nurse. as soon as he turned the corner the hall way erupted into cheering and I was surrounded by people clapping me on the back and congratulating me, apparently Deilian wasn’t the only one who though it was me, and even worse it was certain he heard all the cheering and patting on the back.I pushed my way through the mob for the second time, and dashed into the classroom, sitting down at my desk, i set my elbows on the desk, there was a crack ad it split in two, apparently I had put my elbows onto it with more force then I thought, I sighed, this wasnt going to end well.

Deilian shook his head”we are going to die,we are going to die,we are going to die.”he repeated like a crazed man.I stiffened,he had saved my life countless times now it was time I repay him. I gripped his shoulder tighter and pulled him out of his chair,he seemed to be in a trance,not responding to anything,but he kept mumbling those wretched words.”Deilian?”I asked quietly “Deilian.”I said louder frustration and fear taking over.”DEILIAN!”I shouted,suddenly his eyes cleared and he looked as if I had just dumped a bucket of cold water onto his head.I let go off him,hoping he would stand “we have to leave now.”I told him quietly.He nodded “But first we need to hunt,and then we will leave.”he said grabbing my arm and pulling me out of the door.We walked at a normal human pace until we were in the woods.There he let go of my arm,and we ran.I closed my eyes ,sure we were in the country-side now, and searched for scents.There was the heavy,musky scent of a heard of white-tailed deer,the sharp overpowering stench of fox,several small forest creatures….and then there was the sweet juicy scent of human.A smile crept across my face and I opened my eyes,I noticed that Deilian was heading toward the scent too,I could smell more than one human,which was good.I could hear the shallow breathing as if they were tired and the blood pumping through them.My mouth watered and I dropped into a hunting crouch,all my scenses trained on the spot of heat that was like a sign saying “FOOD” in big red letters.

okay so they do hunt humans and I am not sure if I should do the hunting seen.Reply

I sat there, my fingers digging into the wood of my desk my teeth clenched, waiting for Deilian to come in and take me home.I sat there thinking of how unfair it was,I didn’t have any part in that, but Deilian would have no part in listening. I sighed then heard footsteps coming closer,I recognized them as Deilians. The door opened and sure enough he walked in. He grabbed me by the arm, and without the word pulled me up, and began walking away, and as my arm was in his grip I had no choice but to follow. I notice he was carrying his suitcase, which meant we were leaving, apparently he though it was worse then it really was.Once he pulled me through the door I jerked my arm away.” Deilian-” I began but I was cut of for the second time today, it seems that alot of things were happening twice today.He got into the car, and I barely managed to get into my seat and close the door before he hit the gas.We drove in silence, yet I constantly watched the mirror in hopes that his expression would change or his clenched jaw would relax, yet his face seemed frozen into the mask of fury.He got out and dashed into the house not even making sure I was following, I reached to grab my bag, then realized I left it at school.” Deilian I left my backpack.” I called to him, even though I knew he could hear just fine. ‘ You won’t need it anymore.” Came his steely reply from the inside of the house, I dashed through the doorway ‘ so I’m not going to school anymore?” I asked, He nodded his head ” were moving.”"Again? WHY?” I asked angrily, he sighed ” Because they might figure it out.”" But i didn’t do anything.” I growl, suddenly he froze, and I could hear somebody else breathing, I began walking forward curious, but Deilian’s hand shot out stopping me, he immediately dropped into a defensive crouch, apparently our guest was not welcome.”Oh,please Deilian, my old friend, let the child see.” Came a splendid voice, seemingly from the kitchen ” What do you want from us, Zador” Deilian hissed, Zador chuckled” very well if you insist, the child has a gift, I have observed her for several months,” at this Deilian gave an outraged his but Zador ignored him” An I have noticed this, after careful consideration I realized that the child can move things wiht her mind, and I wish to-”"Deilian cut him of” I wish to hear no more of this, Azia will not get involved with you or your wars.” He said coldly ” Wars?” I asked him. ” yes my dear, yet it is not so much wars as, concurring.” Zador said smiling, and instantly I thought of the Volturi from Twilight. “No” Deilian hissed” now leave and do not return” Zador sighed.” Shame, because I am afraid that I will have to return, yet I will not be alone.” and with that he jumped out of the window. Deilian stood up, only to walk over to the chair and sit down, he put his head in his hands ” what have I done?’ he mumbled, I walked over to him and placed my hand on his shoulder” whats wrong?” I asked, he looked up at me, his eyes miserable ” we’re gonna die.” he whispered, and those words seemed to echo in my head

well now since my Idea has been jerked out of underneath me I am going to take the drawings into my own hands:Just got Silvia done,unfortuanatly the coloring is harder than the drawing on the computer so it’s not colored.

Silvia

(the computer made it all pixilated and weird)

These are the characters most comonly seen in Bloodthrist,but I decided to draw them more realistic then anime,because I am horrible in computer anime.

I smiled in vague relief as I felt the burn in my throat fade.In a few minusculemoments we had a hole dug and the corpses in it,in the next we had the hole filled and covered with grass as if nothing had ever happened.I turned on my heals and began to slowly walk away,whistling tunelessly.Suddenly I bumped into Deilian.He gave me a meaningful  look then nodded towards the grave. I stuck out my tounge  but walked back over to it.I glanced at Deilian who was beside me,then put my hands togather in a mockpraying stance. He shook his head looking at the sky as if he wished lightning would strike me,not that it’d hurt.I grinned at him then cleared my throat.” Um you were good guys even though I only knew you for,um, yeah.And I am sorry to your families i hope they ugh,ugh” I thought then put up my hand and made a V with my fingers. “Live well and prosper” Then I smiled widely at Deilian,who glared at me silently.He stepped forward and looked down at his feet.”You came out this day,thinking it another day of your life,which has now been taken to sustain other lives.The world has a delicate balance and it rarely offers a way around that.Your lives were spent with care and mind on your part….”SO on so forth,soon he trailed of into Latin,then Greek,then ancient Arabic, then who knows,goat?Finally after what seemed like an hour,literally,he looked up. “I am NEVER going hunting with you again.”I said gritting my teeth “You won’t have a choice.”He said smiling.Then we ran.”So,who is Zador exactly?”I asked cocking my head. Deilian turned grim.”He is one of the Lords,And is quiet unworthy of the title.”He said coldly “Are the Lords like the Volturi?”I asked He looked at me quizzically “Like the what?” “Remember I told you about Stephanie Meyer?” “Of coarse I remember.” I held up my hands “Just an expression.” A grunt. “The Volturi are like the rulers of the Vampires,they have this huge army of vampires,alot of them gifted,and they keep order and secrecy in the world.”I said. He nodded “I see,yes they are much like that,but each lord is in charge of a Nation,and Zador has stired up a war beetween the Nations, all eight of them,well actually five now,three fell.”We jumped over a log.”Are we part of a Nation?” I asked.He shook his head”We are ones of the few loners,most have been rounded up into Nations.It’s no different really,you just have to stay on your Nation’s land or you are killed.”I nodded absorbing this new knowledge”Do the Lords change?” Deilian narrowed his eyes “Not usually,the lords are chosen and stay lords.”My eyes grew wide “They chose Zador?”I asked He shook his head smilign darkly “I said they don’t change normally.” I shook my head,confusion weaving itself through my head like tendrils of smoke”does Zador  have a gift,is that how he became a lord?”Deilian chuckled”if you consider dirty play a gift then yes.”He said his voice  sharp like steel,cold like ice. I had never heard him speak like that before and  it frightened me,I could have sworn I felt a chill.I asked no more questions for a while

He stared at her for a second  “Whats so special about you, except for the freakishly pale skin.”He asked leaning against the table. “well the skin isn’t that different from yours,”At this he looked down at his arm and his eyes grew wide again.” I am thousands of years older then you,and,well I’ll show.”With that the shadows of the wall,the table the chair,her and Itzcóatl grew and lengthened until every single millimeter of the rooms was black.Tendrils of Darkness snaked form the floor and walls,joining each other in an elaborate dance,which sped up and they became whirling streaks,and soon the dance turned into what looked to be jumbled chaos.A  gale whipped up,tugging at their clothes and hair.Suddenly everything froze,and there seemed to be light,but it wasn’t like sunlight or electric light,well there was no light,just some sort of illumination.Soon what seemed to be a mess of figures became trees and a rushing stream,the trees leaves rustled and the grass swayed in the gentle breeze.  Itzcóatl stepped forward and ran his hand over the rough bark,it felt like any other real tree,the only thing that showed that the forest wasn’t real ws the fact that it was all shades of black and grey.He walked over to the stream and saw small sparkling grey fish dashing by. He looked at Silvia. “Can the water be drank?” She looked at him “Such horrid grammar.” He puffed out his cheeks. “well how would you say it,Mrs.Know-it-all?” She rolled her eyes ” ‘Could someone drink the water?’ Mr.Three-years-old.” He mumbled something to himself,which Silvia could hear just fine,but wasn’t even words,again.”So can they?”He asked again “No.”"Why?”She clicked  her fingers and what looked to be a silhouette of a man appeared,in it’s hands it held a real human.The silhouette dropped the man then was gone. “Drink.”Sivia commanded the human and he did.He watched  in horror as  veins of blackness crawled all over his body,and soon concealed any remains of the man,then they seemed to unintwine themselves  and fleet to the shadows like frightened snakes,melting into the surroundings.Then everything was gone and we stood in the gray room again.Silvia smiled at him”And there is much more,that was just a taste.”Itzcoalt chewed his lip thoughtfully.”Can I see something else?”He asked unsure if he really wanted to.Silvia nodded”Just one more thing then,Hmm,ah I know,maybe two,I really enjoy the second one.”With a flick of her wrist a dozen silluhets appeared,one walked up to him,picked him up and tossed him onto the table as if he were as light as a feather,the others circled him,like eager observers.The one that had thrown him leapt onto the table next to him,while four of them held Itzcoalt down,it crouched near him,and extended one clawed finger,the claw grew to about four inches long,curved and sharp,it ran the claw lightly over his skin,but it left a light gash.Itzcoalt writhed,but the sillhuets hands on him felt like sinder-blocks.The claw ran over his throat,then paused and began presing deeper and deeper.He  gasped in pain,then the silluets disolved and he sat up in a hurry.Silvia stood there smilign at him.”Are you crazy?” She shook her head “You wanted a demonstration,now for the second thing.”He shook his head violently”Oh no!”She grinned “Don’t worry you won’t be harmed.”He backed awa near the door then said fine”Fine.”She nodded.then a wortex of shadow incircled her,untill that was all to be seen,it expanded and shrunk,then as it churned whisps began separating and disolving,and in her place there was a shimmering black dragin,which soon focused and became a true figure.”Still me still have my mind but a dragons power.”It hissed.Itzcoalt gritted his teeth”Why can’t she be the Soul Weevil?”He muttered

Silvia sat there as she had for three days and five hours.She had not blinked a single time in those day,but watched the form on the table silently.Finally the form stirred and moaned.She was by the table in an instant.”M-my head.” He moaned again,he ran his hand over his ginger-brown hair then  clutched his scull as if he wanted to crush it.”It will be sore for an hour or two, but it will pass.”Silvia told him in a soothing tone “Pass?PASS?”He yelled his voice rising to hysteria “I will die before it passes.”He yelled”Oh your exaggerating.”She said waving her hand impatiently.He stared at he as if she were   crazy.”EXGATURATING ?!?Have you ever felt it?”Silvia sighed “Yewa.”He looked at her smugly.”I thought not,if you had you wouldn’t say I was exaggerating.”He said putting his hands on his hips.She rolled her eyes “For one,you idiot,I said Yes,Y-E-S,used as a function word to express assent or agreement.And two:It seems to not hurt anymore.”She said.He opened and closed his mouth like a fish.”I,ugh um,Suppressed it,yeah.”He said smiling at his own cleverness.Silvia rolled her eyes again”Itzcoalt-”"How do you know my name?!”He shouted,his eyes growing wide.She hit her forehead with the palm of her hand.Then took a deep breath”I know much more than your name,and I am going to tell it to you,and if you interrupt me one more time you won’t have a tongue anymore.”She said slowly.”Your bluffing.”He said,in a flash she was beside him,a curved black knife at is throat” Or I might not even bother with a tongue,just cut your throat.You can find out if you wish.” She said a smile playing across her lips. He leaned away from the knife.”nah I’m fine” She sat back down in the chair.”Alrighty then,You know your name, Itzcoalt.It means Obsidian Serpent,or Serpent of Obsidian in Aztec.Your family is from a line of Aztec Shamans,and you have a gift,most accurately called Soul Viewing.”She said.He cocked his head.”Soul Weevil?” Silvia blinked “What? Soul Weevil?”That doesn’t even sound like what I said.This isn’t one of your petty comedy movies,You idiot!And now that I think about it,Soul Weevil would be more fitting”. He mumbled something to himself, which wasn’t even words. “You shure like the word Idiot.”He said. “Only because it fits you.Now was your miniature brain stretchy enough to wrap around that?”She asked and not waiting for an answer continued” No?I didn’t think so,I hope it managed to stretch around the most important parts at least.”Itzcoalt folded his arms “It IS stretchy enough For Your Information.”He said,then “Hey wait,it isn’t miniature!” Silvia raised an eyebrow.”What?”He asked.She shrugged “Oh nothing.”

I screwed my eyes shut pretending to cry in misery. I could not be silent this long,the previous conversation had fled my mind. “Deilian?” I blurted out a bit loudly.He turned to me.”Y e s?” “Zador said that I could move things with my mind but I can’t.” Deilian stopped suddenly which made me skid to a stop. I walked back to him.”I think he meant a far more useful and powerful gift then moving physical things with your mind.” I sat down. “what do you mean?”" I believe he meant a very rare gift,I am certain he’d  have plenty that could move things with their minds in his armies.I think that you have a gift of moving memories between things and people,and perhaps since he came personally get you , it must be powerful enough to move gifts,to a certain extent.And you see how that would be useful.”He said sitting down next to me. I nodded slowly,pursing my lips thoughtfully, “Don’t you have a sister?”He asked for what seemed to be no reason.I grimaced  “Yes a very wicked and twisted sister at that.”  He moaned,which I found to sound quiet odd. “is, is that bad?” I asked suddenly worried. He nodded “You see,if one has a gift and is biologically related to another,like a sister or brother,it is guarantied that their relative will also have a gift. One has  a weak gift so does the other,One has a rare and powerful gift…”  “…So does the other.” I finished,my stomach churning with fear for the first time in decades.

I gaped at Deilian. ” A hut?!” I asked angrily. He nodded and smiled patiently “You told me it would be a pleasant place, not a place crawling with rats and salmonella!” I yelled, wanting to claw that wretched smile of his face. ” Salmonella is a disease that comes from-” “I don’t care!” I yelled, balling my fists “I don’t care! I don’t care! I don’t care!”I ranted, stomping deep pits into the ground. He sighed “What were you expecting? A 20 bedroom mansion?” I nodded “Actually yes I was. You rented the Taj Mahal for a week before! Remember?” He nodded  ”Yes, but that was an emergency.” ‘And this isn’t?! We’re being hunted down by an army, and you don’t call this an emergency?!” He shrugged “I found this place, and it’s much less conspicuous then the Taj Mahal. Plus, there is more to it than this.” My eyes lit up, maybe there was still hope. ” Really? How many bedrooms?” He grinned “Well… it’s not exactly that…” I moaned “Well, what exactly it this ‘more’?” ” About 50 acres of pasture.” He said, smiling. “Pasture?” I asked “Yes, for the cows.” “Cows?” “Yes, about a dozen of them.” I gaped at him, when I finally could speak I said “Let me guess, we also have some fifty odd chickens?” “Actually sixty.” I took a deep breath “Joy oh joy.” “Well at least you will have company.” “Chickens? Company?!” “Look on the bright side, you can read your diary to them and they won’t laugh.” I glared at him. “I am done with this conversation.” I said crisply and stalked of into the little hovel-like hut.

I ran into the dining room were Deilian was sitting reading a cookbook. “Deilian!” I screamed even before I entered the room. I stopped in front of him, my face red with rage and embarrassment. “One of your stupid chickens made a nest in my hair!” I bellowed, unconsciously running a hand over the large clump of feathers and hair on my head. “You know chickens are actually more intelligent then they look.” he said from behind the cover of the book. The cheery picture of an apple pie on it’s cover only fueled my rage. I ripped the book out of his hands and flung it into the trash. ” Look at my head!!! This is the work of one of your precious demon chickens!  I swear if- Hey! Stop laughing! This isn’t funny!” I glared at him, literally shaking with fury. He managed to contain his laughter and reduce it to an insolent grin “Well, I’m sure this could become a new trend if you adjusted that tuft of hair and moved that feather a bit.” I drew myself up  “This isn’t a joke, I am serious! If I see another one of those evil fiends I will wring their necks!” He leaned back in his chair and plucked the book out of the trashcan ”Maybe it was your fault.” I was taken back by this remark “Wa- what? My fault? How?” he shrugged “Maybe it was the shampoo you use.” My rage returned ” ‘Shampoo’ my foot! Transforming my hair into a Casa De Chicken was fully their intention!” With that I turned on my heals and stormed of, Deilian’s laughter sending fresh waves of anger and embarrassment coursing through me.
