[pain]

Pain didn't sleep well, he kept dreaming of them taking Love, they took her and killed her in front of him, then they expected him to lay down and die. Pain jolted awake to screams in his own head. the big bough that cradled him didn't seem nearly as comfortable as it had earlier. It must have been around 3:00 AM and something was wrong. Pain looked around in the night, his eyes having perfect night vision. he took a deep breath and he could smell the musky odder of Eraser. Pain swore under his breath and took off silently form his nightly resting place. he had been holed up in the forest for nearly a month, biding his time, letting the Erasers think he had moved on.

Pain spotted a male and female eraser walking through the woods. Pain landed silently behind them, like a stealthy angel of doom, bringing death , destruction and pain to his foes. Pain grabbed the female by her red ponytail and puller her head back into his oncoming knee, she let out a yelp then blacked out, Pain had the male by the neck and let rip his Pain, he fired every synapse the Eraser had, then after he screamed himself horse he broke his neck, reveling in the sickening crack.

The female he would take time with. Bitch Erasers had killed Love and he would make every bitch he came across suffer. Pain turned from the downed male to discover the Female was already standing and though she was in a fighting stance she was weeping violently, Pain had killed her mate. for the first time a wicked smile crossed Pain's pale, gaunt features. the Female screamed why, why her, why them, and all pain could do was laugh. "Why? Why is it anyone, does anyone deserve to lose someone they love?" Pain took his stance and the Female was on him in the blink of an eye, Pain was faster, he put the heel of his hand in her face and with it an explosion of pure agony, she screamed as if she had been branded with white hot iron.

Pain spinned elegantly and kicked her in the ribs with a black combat boot ad followed up with a punch to the solar plexus, now the female choked and stammered with the loss of breath and the tears from her lost mate. Pain putt a huge hand over her face and let the agony rip through her brain like white hot needles being driven through her brain from every possible direction. Pain dropped her on the ground and kicked her in the gut.

then the interrogation started, he got allot of useful information from her before she died, the location of the Eraser Base and high ranking members of the school he would like to pay a visit, and he had found one of the females that killed Love. all around a good time for pain before he took her neck in his hands and choked the life out of her watching the light leave her eyes. now Pain might actualy get some nice sleep.

[Night and Akito]

Night was headed home from a long and late shift as a Bartender/manager at the Moonlight Rose dance club and bar. “Sheesh, I said last call and that party of who knows how many still wouldn’t leave!” She sighed, irritated and exhausted. As she walked the dark street with broken street lights everywhere she got lost in her thoughts and when she found her way out of them and looked around she found herself lost down a very dark street where almost all of the lights were broken or flickering. “I am not where I should be…” Night heard something kick a can; there was no breeze or not one strong enough to move the irresponsibly disposed trash. She went to turn around and see who was behind her. There was a small but evil or cruel laugh then as she turned she saw out of the corner of her eye some blunt object and the lights went out; she fell to the grimy filthy ground.

“Ugh… mm… agh…” Night’s head moved side to side; she could feel her hands tied and suspended above her head; she opened her eyes but couldn’t see and felt something around her head, blind fold; sore neck and head, she was hit. “W-where am I? What’s going on?”

She could feel water droplets falling upon her flesh; she could feel the breeze and hear the trees swaying along to the winds whispering song; and now she could hear the the echo of excrusiating screams outside and a small sadistic chuckle with the smell of wet dog and earthy natural smells. Somewhere in the woods.... a cave possibly?

She heard a cackle and then... she heard the swush through the air before the whip struck her skin. "Ahhhh!"

[kaila]

Kaila grinned as she alk into the cave where she heard a cry of pain. She watched as Night, a former enemy of hers, before she left. She looked at her attacker, one she was not familiar with. "What got you in this problem Night?" Kaila growled in the most sincere, yet sickening voice she could. "You seem to be a bit tied up. Would you like some help with that?" Kaila laughed harshly.

Kaila started to circle around the cave area watching as the vigil started to whip Night again. She had no plans of stopping the other vigil, in the moment, she was finally enjoying seeing night be beaten. She had never gotten the chance to see it, and know she did. This was a show to watch.

[pain]

Pain heard the whip crack against flesh and he got a running start and took off, heading straight for the noise, his silent wings pumping through the cool night air, he thrust his wings hard and dove above the tree tops and followed the sound of maniacal laughter and the sound of the whip, judging by the acoustics they were in a cave, he could tell because the sound was traveling in only one direction, directed by the mouth of the cave.

Pain landed outside the cave, dropping from the sky to land lithely to the right of the mouth of the cave, his combat boots barely made any crunch on the soft earth surrounding the cave, he could smell two Erasers and an avian. Pain, silently entered the cave, his all black outfit and long black hair helping hide him in the shadows, first to go was the Eraser with the whip, Pain lunged with blinding speed and grabbing the whip wrist with the left hand he placed his right hand on the elbow, he pulled with his left and pushed with the right, breaking the elbow joint by making the arm bend and crack with an ugly snapping sound Pain savored like the sweetest orchestra.

Next he took his left arm facing towards the eraser and swung the arm hitting the Eraser in the shoulder, Pain shot his left leg between the Erasers legs and slammed him on the ground, then pain cocked a fist and punched the eraser in the throat, then with the same break neck speed punched the Eraser in the special part of the chest 5 times giving him an arrhythmia, the heart beating irregularly leading to a myocardial infarction, the heart seizing up and having a fatal heart attack, the Eraser’s face turned an ugly crimson and the light left his eyes, this entire process took under a minute to complete and the eraser lie dead at Pain’s feet. He looked at the other Eraser and took a fighting stance ready for whatever she threw at him.

[kaila]

Kaila watched as the new avian few in and attacked the eraser. As soon as it started the fight ended. She wathced as the avian turned to look at her. Kaila let out a wicked laugh and clapped at the site.

"If I wasn't for the common sense that you were bird-kid, I would say that you could be an eraser." She stated plainly. "I've never seen a bird-kid fight with such power, and passion. How long have you been praticing?" Kaila said as she watched the avian stand in the position.

[Night and Akito]

Bird-kid? Night wasn't sure if there really was another bird. her senses were out but she did know kaila was here. she knew here name and everything it wasn't ahrd to tell when she's around even if it's been forever. night stuggled in the binds and was upset her sight was still blocked. she couldn't see what was going on and she couldn't smell a bird... she hated not knowing and being helpless...

[pain]

Pain gave a sardonic laugh, “My power is my pain, my passion is my hate, and my practice is killing as many Erasers before they kill me.” Pain started circling; it looked like he was staying the same distance but he was slowly inching closer and closer with each revolution. The Eraser was wrong, they had no passion when they fought, they had training to be sure but pure passion, and an urge to completely destroy their opponent that was something they lacked. They lacked a need for the kill, the sheer dominance of will to crush their mark by any means necessary no matter the cost.

Pain was close enough to reach out and touch her, his first move was several shots through, not on, through the solar plexus, a muscles spot under the ribs and above the abdominal muscles, his next move was two rapid kicks to the nerve cluster in the middle of the thigh, hitting these would cripple the subjected leg for a second or two and that would be all pain needed to send a bone crushing punch through the jaw, the key to the bone break was to not stop the punch until your fist was fully extended, often going deep inside the opponent.

[Night and Akito]

My passion is my hate? what happened to this guy to make him say something like that? Night just hung there while her wrists felt like they were cracking as she was hoping the drugs and blocked sense would go back to normal soon and with any luck would be freed from the binds and could be free again.

[kaila]

" My power is my hate driven soul, and my pain is my past." Kaila responded. No one really knew her past. She wouldn't let them. She keep hidden what she could, but she killed truely as little as possible. Her attitude did alot and she only attacked when it was needed. Her life style had changed since she had left this school and went off on her own. Though she was just as strong, and just as much a bitch, she stuck to her almost kill free life.

Kaila watched as the avian slowly closed in on her, she stayed where she was, just bearly aware of Night. "So, whats you story? You're rying to be a hero out of every bird kid in the world? Well sorry about your luck.. You can't. It's an impossible job. Each day more of your kind is made, an deach day and improvment on my kind is produced." Kaila said clearly board with the 'I'm going to save every body.' Life many Bird-kids had. It annoyed her, and pissed her off. It was usless, yet some were to dumb to notice.

"If all you want is Night, then just take her. I have no need to hurt or kill her. Anyways I have a feeling that if some certin vigils were to come back they would have more need for her then I do." Kaila said, remebering Fox and Raine who both seemed to have some need from her.

[Night and Akito]

At least she doesn't seem to care what happens about me and isn't going do anything. but who would this strange bird be that went out of his (judging from the vioce) way to help put? Night struggled some more, trying to break free of the binds. Her back was sore from the whips; for some reason she wasn't healling, she was possibly drugged, her senses were out she was god knows where and the only person she knew was there was an enemy but luckily she wasn't here to mess with her.

[kaila]

Kaila growled annoyed at Night consent fiddling with her binds. "Oh my fucking god Night, do you need some help there?" Kaila screamed in her own frustation. She pushed past the new Avian, making him tedder towards the ground, though he caught himself. Kaila walked towards Night, stopping near her. Kaila slowly took hold of the bindings and ripping the apart. With Night still in her hold, Kaila dropped Night to her knee's. She grumbled at the sign of weakness, slowly walking out of the cave.

"You obviously don't need to protect your kind from me. " Kaila said walking out of the cave.

[pain]

Pain watched the Eraser leave, he picked up the female Avian and took off her blindfold, he removed the rest of her bindings and help her stand “Weaklings should stay away from Erasers, let the big boys like me handle them.” Pain picked up the whip; it might come in handy later. Pain walked to the mouth of the cave and took off, his black wings silent in the cool night air. He would return to his little branch in the thickest part of the woods and sleep.

[Night and Akito]

"Weakling?!?! You let kaila push you around... literally! I was knocked out and drugged!!! "Big boys"!?!? Sexist jerk!" NIght yelled as the black winged jerk spread his wings. Oh the nerve! i'm tied up, don't know where i am and he just calls me a weakling!

[kaila]

"mmhmm," Kaila says, as she watches from the bushes, -just as I though, a glory seeking stuck up jerk. My favorite-

"Night!" Kaila shouted at her rival like enemy thing, watching her jump at the shock of Kaila's voice. "He let me push him around around for a reason." Kaila said as she watched the idiot in discust as he flew into the tree's.

She turned into the wolf form she was oftenly seen in her lush color swayed into and with the wind. She set of into the sky her speckled dark brown wings (an identical match to her coat) just bearly supporting her. She flew like this until she found in perfect distant to hear the odd Avian and see him as well.

[Night and Akito]

"Screw this I'm leaving!!" Night started stompping out of tghe cave... wobbling as she tried to look mad. She slipped and started to fall over the ledge. She couldn't think straight and her back hurt and stung so much she could bring her wings out.

[flick]

Flick had been flying through the sky and noticed the commotion. She was there in a second wondering what to do, she caught the girl and flew her up to a tree. "Are you alright?" She asked when she landed on a branch a little higher.

[kaila]

Kaila was still watching from afar, when she seen something fly towards the cave, she moved her eyes from the Avain she was watching to Night and another Avain. "Why in the world would any body want t help that little rat of a bird kid?" Kaila questioned to herself, as she watched the new Avian fly Night up to a tree.

[Night and Akito]

"I'm fine!" Night yelled as she regained her senses and wanted to chase the basturd that called her weak. She looked up at at the female avian. "Sorry that was meant for someone else. Now first thanks for the help... second if you'll excuse me I have someones ass to kick!" She ignored the pain in her back and whipped out her shimmering black and white feathered wings and headed in the area she believed the male bird went.

[kaila]

Kaila growled at the stupid idea to chase the other Avian that Night had. Yes she was asvery strong but she was no where near the other Avains strength levels. "NO!!" Kaila shouted startling herself as sh jump off the tree while changing into the wolf form she loved. She herself looked like a normal gray and white wolf. She whipped her wings out as she watched Night continue after the male Avain.

[flick]

Flick wondered if she could help so she flew up and followed the girl she had saved. She spotted her with the minute, they way her wings traveled. She just kept up high just in case.
