Reminding Nightmares

It was getting dark, and starting to get a little cold. A lone figure quickly moving around the apple orchid picking up a few good apple to eat for later. Hearing the moans and groans from the zombies who detected that she was there, quickly packing away a few more apples. it was to far from the town and she knew that there was a building near by as she made her way quickly to it now. A zombie stood between her and the house then as she quietly took out her war hammer, the zombie shuffled around and made a loud groan seeing her. moving ahead in it's shuffling way as she raised her hammer, as it got closer reaching out it's rotten arms. 'Thud' the hammer coming down and across as the head snaps of on impact and splatters across the ground, 'thud' another hit sending it to the ground as she quickly moved around it and into the house. magic locking the door with a quick spell as she looked at her blood stained hammer, Eli sighed "to close".

Looking around the main room, a fire place with no fire as she quickly fixed that with a fireball. The room comes to life in the light, chairs and tables line the walls. Two doors leaning to bed rooms she guessed on the far wall. "Guess am staying here for the night" she said quietly getting off some of the under leather she started wearing, folding it on one of the tables. Getting out some rags she quickly cleaned the hammer head and tossed the rag into the fire. leaning it on the wall, "am sure they wont mind me staying her for the night" going to the back rooms and went to see what was inside. The first room had a nice double bed, " Oh?" looking at it. walking over to it she runs her gloved hand over it "looks soft" climbing on it then, as she bounced a little. Looking at the door, " Should keep out the deadies as none of them know magic" pulling back the bed sheets then. " I'll just see who owns this later and pay them for the night" climbing into the bedding and pulled it back over " Just a night... next time I wont run it so close" letting her eyes close slowly.

Before opening again, "right... fire place..." crawling back out from under the covers, sliding her feet to the edge of the bed and hopped out. Opening the door she saw the fire still going. walking over she looked at it a few moments before putting it out. Letting the dark fall back into the house as she moved back over to the door feeling around for it. Crawling back into the bed, still hearing the shuffle and undead outside as she looked out the near by window. Pitch black over then the moon light reflecting off the near by water " Would say it's pretty but..." pulling the blankets back over herself " Nothing really pretty anymore here..." rolling onto her side back toward the door as she looked at her hands. feeling the leather weak from her constant use of magic, "going to have to see if Althy can make me a new pair soon" she mumbles a little.

letting her eyes close again, this time sleep sucking her under. it was the same dreams; she was back in the town before, she knew these walls and this scent. She was down in the basement again shackled to the wall, 'crack' the whip hitting her back again as she lurched forward a little feeling the warm blood running down her back as she looked back. Seeing a shadow figure, 'crack' she wont give him the satisfaction of a scream. 'crack' then chains let go then as she slides down the wall, it hurt but she wouldn't cry. Two more shadows came over and grabbed her hands holding them on a table still coated in blood from last time. 'crack' the whip now finding her hands, 'crack' flesh tearing away. Bone starting to show 'crack crack crack' Eli finally letting out a cry as she tries to pull her hands free only to be held fast. "Guardian Filth" the voice rang out around her not really from anyone in particular.

"Please no, am not" Eli sobs a little, " We saw you try and raise the dead you monster" venom words spat in her ear. 'Crack' Eli winced a little " Mom... Dad" she whimpered a little more watching her hands be ruined. " You tried to use necromancy!" the words like the whip smashed into her, " you tried to raise them as undead" Eli closed her eyes then opening them.

New place, no it was home. Dead were walking killing everyone around her, locked in her room with her mom and dad. No they were dead to, brother was out fighting with the church trying to hold them back. " Daddy? Mommy?" Eli was much younger now trying to wake her parents "wake up please" she sobbed. Her hands glowing a little as she touched them " Please wake up" trying again as magic tendrils warp around the corpses and sank into flesh.

The bodies starting to move a little, "Mommy?" looking at the remains of the women as it lifted it's self up and looked around moaning. "Daddy?" he was already up and moving around as best as he could with only one leg before they turned to her and moved over slowly holding out their arms. Eli doing the same as they held her in a loving embrace, blood pouring out from wounds soaking into her little dress. The door smashed open and the church men were standing there, they yelled holding up there blades and axes. Eli made a scream, the undead got up lurching forward. More screams of pain as Mommy and daddy kill the men, ripping them apart. Sudden pain, Eli falls forward. Brother standing behind her with the back of his blade handle where Eli's head was. The undead fall apart then, the remaining church men take Eli then.

Eli wakes up screaming and sweaty as shes now sitting upright. looking at her hands, trembling. "Just a nightmare" looking outside the window beside the bed as she turned her head back now looking up at the roof. " Why brother?" she said softly, " I could have brought them back, if only I was stronger". Eli sighed then as she got up again walking out to the main room then relighting the fire place. sitting on a chair, looking into the fire. " No... Never again... it was evil... wrong" she said then wiping away a tear as it rolls down her face. " Brother... Lucain... mom... dad..." watching the fire dance around. Hours pass then as day light peeks in the window, Eli haven't found no more sleep that night. Gets up and looked at the door, unlocking the magic that held it, " It's why Brother took me away from them... why we came here... to start a new life... now he's dead... and I don't know what to do" putting out the fire again as she collects her things putting everything back on.

looking at the inside of the house again, "I'll pay who ever own this place back" shutting the door behind her as she moves back to town. Mind heavy with nightmares, thoughts, and magic.

Re: Reminding Nightmares

Fiery orbs watching the house, Betrayal sat in the dark hidden from mortal eyes. Her bones creak slightly on her blood red blades, dripping with poisons. She pulls the hood over her burnt eye sockets a little more as she turns and leaves. The fire dies down leaving them as dark pits as she turns her attention to the town. Her simple mind restored, the need to kill her own version of revenge on those that did this to her. A hiss leaks from her teeth as she fades back into the night. Something told her The flesh inside the house was not worth the effort. Stalking through the tree Betrayal let her thoughts go as that's what happened more often then not, the need to kill always on her mind. To purge and clean the flesh from the lords and masters land. She moved by the lesser dead as they didn't even seem to notice the black robes move by, before coming to the forest where she stayed most of her time waiting for prey to come to her. Deer,  bears, and wolves moved through the forest around her. Betrayal stopped for a moment as she watched them, her pits turned to them. Her black leather gloved hand touched over chest catching the hole of the rib cage a little. Her eyes flare back to fire as anger took over her simple desires. Lashing out at the wolf with a pain strike and the beast howled and fell to the ground. The others ran off leaving their fallen to her. She came out then her blade drawn, she fell on the creature as she started to eat it alive tearing it's fur and skin getting at it's innards quickly as she feasts tearing flesh free and eating. Blood dripping from her jaw as she eats. Leaving very little remains she looked down before getting up pulling the hood back over her skull and continued her hunt in the dark. " Venom" a single word uttered, fading back to the dark once more for her next prey.

As night started to turn to day. Betrayal, unsuccessful at her hunt started to head back to the barracks to her coffin to rest the day. She moved by the skeleton guards who guard this area while they are resting. Entering the building she was greeted with blood and the re connection to the black stone. She moved down to the basement as she watched the area small fiery orbs scanned the dark seeing that Carnage nor Famine where moving around yet. As she turned to her own room and entered seeing her chest and coffin. Climbing into her coffin as she hissed again. Letting her simple mind go, falling 'asleep'. Her mind then wondered back to when she was alive faceless people she couldn't remember voices without words around her. Before seeing Kraven back at that night, in the inn. Mind skipping ahead to the day she died feeling the pain again in her bones and she burns. Shifting again as she comes back to the remains of her body, her finger slides into the hole in her skull as soot comes free on her gloves. Hissing once more " Richard..." a name she remembered.

Betrayal sat up in her coffin then as she held her thin bones that made up her hand over the black cloth then. Her mind still the basic need to kill but something was there now. Getting up she pulled off the Black cloth and the black cursed leather under it. Her hand going to the hole in her chest were Richards bolt shattered bone and pierced where her heart was. Feeling the pain again, her head raced again as her sockets burned again in a fiery orbs. " My lord..." she started as she moved out from her room and looked at the others doors. Before going to the stash box and picked up some nightshade and the correct tools. Moving to the other room she started to work on other poisons. She felt alone again, empty. Meriel was poking through in the black of her being. Betrayal hissed in annoyance, taking out her red blades and rest them carefully on the table beside her as she started to re coat the cursed metal. 'Rake, Craystar Rake' a name came to her head then as she stopped confused. " Betrayer" the word heavy with hate " Lucain Cain...." Name coming to her mind then as she growled " RICHARD!" she howled in pain then as she felt on fire again as her tools and blades crash to the floor. Her finger digging into the holes in her skull " My lord." her hands pulling free then as she falls back into herself. The ash clings to her gloves a little then as the names fade, faces, Merial all fade back to darkness as she recollects her things from the floor and continued her work for tonight hunt.
