Chapter Four Confusion
(Feane's POV now)
It's been months since I last saw Taranis. I had gotten a new pet, and I was one season higher than I had been. I met new people, made new friends (That's what I was the most happiest about!!), and I learned a lot. During that time, I avoided thinking about Taranis because it always made me sad. But, here and there I would think about him. I hoped he was okay. I was in Feralas when I really began to think about him. I wanted to see him again, but I knew I couldn't. I promised that I'd stay on Kalimdor, so he could find me if he wanted.
'He would have found you already if he really wanted to." The dark little voice in the back of my mind told me, but I shook that thought off as soon as I could. He wouldn't forget about me completely, right? I hoped he didn't. My black wolf, Snarler, put his head on my lap, whining at me. He knew I was upset, and he didn't know why. I scratched him behind the ears. He was a lot more sensitive to me than Araga was. She was more detached, and a loner. But she was a great fighter, and a good friend. Snarler was just better to be around when I was upset. He knew how to cheer me up usually. One time he made me play tug-of-war with him, and he didn't realize how strong he really was. I had been dragged around for quite awhile before he let go. I gently pushed him out of my lap, and I stood up.
"Well, sitting around in Feathermoon won't do us any good, huh Snarler?" I asked him, and he howled in agreement. As soon as we could, we left on the boat. We headed out to kill Yetis nearby. It was kind of easy, but Snarler made it funny. He was a silly little wolf. He wasn't like the black wolves at Darkshire, so he didn't have the funny looking run.
Right after one fight Snarler, for some weird reason, ran off. I chased after him shouting for him to stay, or come back. He didn't listen. He found a lion that was nearby, and started barking at it. The poor lion didn't know what to do, he tried to growl back, but Snarler thought it was all game. He howled in excitement and jumped around the lion yelping with happiness. I quickly grabbed hold of Snarler, trying to pull him away. It didn't work too well.
"SIT! Heel! Down! Stay! STOP!" I shouted commands, hoping one would work eventually. Snarler didn't calm down until someone else came up to us. I didn't look up at them. They were probably really angry at me.
"I'm so sorry, Snarler didn't mean to do anything wrong. He's just really playful!" I defended, while Snarler howled again.
"Feane." The person began, "You really need to learn how to control your pet."
I recognized the voice! I glanced up, and saw that it was Taranis!! My face lit up, but fell when I heard him call for someone.
"Calypso! You coming?" I heard him call out. A human walked up to us, in a beautiful cloth robe. I could tell she was a mage. The way she carried herself in a manner that showed that she was very confident in her abilities.
"Yes, I'm sorry about that. There was something that caught my eye. I had to investigate it!" She explained with a serene-looking smile. I wished I was more like she was; confident and serene. I had gotten better, but I still could use a lot of improvement. She looked down at me. I then was very aware of what I looked like compared to her. I was dirty, my mail was scratched and torn, and on the ground holding my wolf back. She hid a little smile behind her hand. I guess she wasn't trying to laugh at me to my face.
"Who is this Taranis?" She asked him, but she didn't take her eyes off of me.
"Oh. This is Feane. I traveled with her awhile ago." Taranis told Calypso. I hid my face, frowning to myself. He didn't say I was a friend, or anything else. I let go of Snarler, stood up, and dusted myself off, trying to not think of what he said. Calypso moved towards Taranis, putting her hand on his arm.
"That's nice. You didn't mention her before." She told him, still smiling.
I winced inwardly at that. It was mean. Taranis didn't say anything; he didn't shake her hand off and it bothered me.
"You there, girl! Can you show us to the nearest Inn? We wanted to find one before nightfall, but we've been having trouble." She told me, and I looked away. She didn't remember my name? I nodded weakly, and motioned them to follow me. Snarler whined from behind me, he knew what my problem was. Rake knew as well. I could tell. I ignored it though. I shouldn't be bothered. I should have known this would have happened. I lowered my head, closing my eyes. We mounted up, and got to the docks. The entire time, neither of them attempted to include me in their conversations. I tried a few times, but I was ignored. I halfheartedly wished that I hadn't met up with them. When the boat arrived, I moved away from them as soon as possible. I couldn't stand it. As soon as we docked, and got to the Inn, I slipped away. It wasn't hard at all. After all neither of them cared. I left my quiver and bow at the Inn, hoping that they wouldn't go and try to find me, if they say that there. They probably wouldn't notice. I needed to get away. I just wanted to do some things for people. I got an errand to kill the Naga, for some item that I needed to get from them. With that, I fetched Araga, and left. Snarler was with Rake, playing. Araga and I arrived quickly at where the Naga were, and we began to take them away one by one.
Snarler and Rake watched Taranis and Calypso. They knew what was going on, they weren't stupid. Snarler whined, but he got no attention. Rake gave him a look that said 'give up, it won't work.' Snarler was a stubborn little thing, he didn't know when to quit. He tried different things though. Howling, barking, and whining just didn't work at all. In the end, he started to growl. He was low to the ground, and his ears were pressed back on his head. He started barking and growling at them. He finally got attention from Calypso. Taranis left, he didn't like dogs very much. Calypso glared at Snarler, and attacked him with a fire blast.
"Silence mutt or you will be prepared for dinner!" She hissed at him, in a low voice. Snarler backed away, whining. Nothing really did work. Now he was hurt, and Feane wasn't there to help him.
When I finished my errand, I went back to the person, and gave them their stuff. I quickly headed over to the Inn.
'Snarler is probably driving them crazy.' I thought to myself, and giggled at the image that came up. Speaking of him, he jumped on me as soon as I entered the Inn. He was whining, and looked very upset. I looked at his side, and noticed that the fur wasn't there at one spot. I took a closer look, and I could tell it had been a fire based attack. I frowned; I knew he couldn't have gotten attacked here, unless it was someone here. I could only come up with Calypso as the perpetrator. I stood up, and marched to Taranis and Calypso's room. They were sitting right next to each other when I went in. I didn't care what they were doing.
"You attacked Snarler!" I yelled at Calypso, pointing at her accusingly. Taranis stood up quickly to defend her.
"She did no such thing!"
"Then tell me why Snarler's fur is gone, and why it's obvious that it was fire that caused it!"
"Maybe that dog ran into a fire! I'm telling you, she didn't do a thing!"
"Snarler hates fire! And where would he run into fire here?! Night Elves normally don't use fire in random places!" I countered, balling up my fists. Taranis glared at me, but I was unfazed.
"Never mind." I growled, and stood up strait. "I can't believe I wanted to see you again."
Taranis just stood there, looking at my confusedly.
"I wanted to see you so badly. And then, when you're here, you don't even notice me." I paused for a moment, "Taranis, I never want to see you again." I turned on my heel, and left. He made no effort to stop me.
I packed as soon as I could. I left my pets with the Stable master, after they promised to send them to wherever I was headed. I stormed out on my own. I saw Taranis from the corner of my eye, but I ignored him. He ignored me the entire time; let's see how he liked it. I was lucky that the boat was there, so I didn't have to wait for it. When the boat docked again, I left and was walking on my own. At least I thought I was alone. After an hour, a hand shot out from behind me, and covered my mouth. Whoever it was, they pulled my arms back behind me. I began to kick, and struggle, but it didn't work. I lost consciousness without even knowing it.
I woke up in the Tauren's camp in Feralas. I was able to see outside of the small tent I was in, that's the only reason I knew. I remember passing this place, after I got Snarler. It scared me so badly, because of when I was in that cell. I hated it. I now was not tied up, or gagged. But I realized I was wearing something that I hadn't thought I was wearing before. It was a silver band placed on my head. It was almost tiara-like, but not quite. I slowly sat up, looking around. I felt different for some reason. It bothered me a little, but I ignored it. A familiar looking undead came stood about ten feet away from me. It was him! It was Cael, I knew only because Cael had bothered me, taunting me a little after Taranis talked to me; when I was in the cage.
"Stop, Feane." Was all that he told me, with a confident smirk on his face. I stopped right after he said it. I was frozen stiff.
"Well, that's good to know. I'm glad we were able to get our hands on some of that Gnomish engineering equipment. I hope you don't mind. We heard your little fight with the traitor, so we figured we'd put this to good use." He explained, "If you're wondering, from now on you now have no free will of your own. You have to have permission to do anything, even speak. You will do as I say, willing or unwillingly. The only thing you can control is your mind. I hope you like that small extravagance. Interesting that this was supposed to be used against the horde, isn't it?"
I gasped inwardly; my mind and body didn't seem to want to cooperate. He had been telling the truth, and it scared me. What did he want with me? I didn't know anything about the alliance that he didn't know. Taranis didn't care for me anymore, so that was out. I doubt it was because of my family's influence.
"Come, we have much to plan for." He ordered, and I was forced to follow him. I should have stayed at the Feathermoon Stronghold.
Their plan was to use me against Taranis, make me fight him, and then they would capture him. They wanted to know, like the alliance had, what he told the other side. After this, they would kill him. If I was a 'good girl' they might let me live, and allow me to go back home. I wasn't worried about myself; I was worried about Taranis (as much as I hated to admit it).
We went to find Taranis as soon as possible. I was to go in first. I couldn't believe it, I felt like such a back stabber, but I couldn't do anything about it. We found Taranis on the island which only housed the Naga.
I stood about twenty feet away from him and Rake. I hadn't been ordered to attack yet. He looked angry, but relieved. I wished he hadn't.
'Please leave Taranis, run away!' I mentally pleaded with him. I knew it was no use, not even my facial expression changed.
"Where have you been, Feane?!" He demanded, and waited for me to answer. He got angrier when I hadn't.
"Answer me, Feane! What's the matter with you?" He yelled. However, Rake knew exactly what was going on with me. I don't know how, but he did. He started growling at me, lowering himself to be closer to the ground.
Cael appeared from behind Taranis.
"Hello traitor. I see you've found dear Feane." He smoothly said, smirking sinisterly to himself.
"What are you doing here?!" Taranis growled, as he whirled around to face Cael. Cael only pointed at Taranis, still smirking.
"Feane, attack him."
As he said this, I involuntarily rushed at Taranis with my dagger and axe in hand. I barely missed hitting him. He reacted very quickly, for which I was very grateful for. My attacks didn't stop. I kept on attacking while he was backing away with a confused look on his face.
"Feane! What's wrong with you?!" Taranis demanded when he was able to get over his shock.
Cael started laughing. I inwardly wished that I could stop attacking, but I knew I couldn't. But something happened that was just as good. I was attacked from the side with a frost bolt. It slowed me down, but didn't do much. From the corner of my eye, I saw Calypso. I was so happy that she was there. Maybe she would be able to stop me! She ran up to me as fast as she could, and used frost nova.
I began to hack away at the ice, hitting my legs in the process. I could feel the pain shooting up from my leg. But I couldn't scream out in pain, or make myself stop. I saw Taranis was just staring at me, he knew something was wrong. Calypso looked confused, even though she didn't know me very well; she knew that I wouldn't ever act like this. By the time I was free, my legs were bleeding. It still didn't stop me, I ran towards them, attacking mainly Taranis, but holding Calypso at bay. I only wished that they would stop being so easy on me. I wanted them to make it all stop!
By the time they really did start to fight back, it was too late. An undead rogue came up from behind Calypso and knocked her out. I hit Taranis a little too hard, and he hit the ground just as hard causing him to loose consciousness. I wasn't able to stop myself from trying to attack him again. I almost did when Cael ordered me to stop. That had been the only nice thing he had ever done. I watched as they gathered everyone up. I inwardly wondered where Rake went to. I hope he could do something to help.
We hauled them back to the small village, tied them up, and put them in a hut. I was ordered to stay there, and be there when they woke up. No one bothered with my legs, or told me to bandage them. So, as I waited, I hoped that I wouldn't pass out. Calypso was the first to wake up. After all, she wasn't the one I had been attacking. She kept glaring at me, while my face remained like stone. I couldn't look away, even though I wanted to. I wanted to let them go, and help them. But I couldn't do that either. It seemed that whenever I was around Taranis, I began to question myself. Of course the first time had been his fault (and mine), but now, it was Cael's fault.
"What's the matter with you?!" Calypso shouted at me, still glaring full force. I remained silent. Taranis began to wake, and when he did, he wouldn't look at me. I wasn't sure which look I hated the most; the glaring, accusing one or one that wouldn't even look my way. Why wasn't he yelling at me, or glaring? I would have thought that was what he would do. After all, he used to do that kind of thing months ago, when we were traveling together.
That was when Cael decided to enter. He leaned on my shoulder, glancing from Calypso to Taranis and back again.
"Looks like you two are up. Do you like what I did to Feane? I must say, it's an improvement. She talks a little too much, don't you agree Taranis?" Cael told them, and Taranis looked over at him, glaring. Cael kept on going, "And, I can see why you'd like her. She's cute when she's quiet…. Speaking of which; I've heard that you talked a little too much to the alliance."
Taranis was shaking, I wasn't sure why.
"Would you like to tell us what exactly you told the alliance?" Cael waited for a moment, and frowned, "I thought as much."
"What did you do to her?" Taranis asked, as if I wasn't here.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Cael countered with another question.
"I mean, you told us that you did something to Feane! How did you get her to attack us on her own?! She would never-"
"'She would never' what? Betray you, the one that did the exact same thing to her? She told us she didn't want to see you again, ever, but we figured one more meeting was in order."
"She's not like me!" Was all he could yell back. He couldn't make a comeback about the part where I didn't want to see him again. I had said that to his face, after I left. Why couldn't he realize a rogue had been around?
"Is that all you can say? It's obvious that she isn't like you, now, isn't it?" Cael grinned.
"But you did something to her! You said so!" Taranis didn't bother to answer Cael's questions.
Cael sighed, I guessed he realized that he wouldn't get anymore fun, "Do you see that pretty head band of hers? Cute isn't it? It controls her. If I tell her to jump, she'll jump as soon as I say it. If I tell her to kill you, well, you get the idea. She realizes what's going on however."
Taranis became very angry; it showed in his posture, breathing, and facial expression.
"Feane," Cael began, not looking at me, "clean yourself up. I'm getting tired of that smell."
(Blood, not B.O. lol)
I involuntarily walked away, swaying as I went. Not on purpose. As I left, I heard Taranis start yelling in what I guessed was Orcish. As I went, the horde threw things at me, knowing I couldn't do anything. They laughed, and yelled at me. I couldn't understand them, but it hurt all the same. I walked to the nearest source of water, and began to wash off. While I was doing this, a hand covered my mouth, and pulled me away.
"Is this her?" A deep voice asked.
"Yep, that's her alright." A familiar voice put in. After trying to remember who it was, it finally hit me! It was a human paladin I met awhile ago, who helped me. She told me to call her "Painful Death", or just "Painful." The deeper voice I didn't know.
"Where have you been Feane?!" Painful demanded, but I didn't respond. I should have known she wouldn't know what was going on, she was an alchemist, not an engineer. How was I going to get help -?
Suddenly the headband was taken off of my head. I jerkily looked around when I could, and found a silver haired, and silver skinned Night Elf. I remembered him; I was supposed to call him "Wild Saber." I was relieved to see him there, he was a Gnomish Engineer. Behind them stood another familiar person, Kramor; he helped me one time when me and Painful were in a jam.
"Feane?" Painful asked again, and I shook my head to get my thoughts clearer.
"Painful! I have a big problem! That head band that was on my head was a…." I paused and looked at Wild Saber. He rolled his eyes at me, and sighed.
"It's a mind control spin off I think." He explained. I nodded enthusiastically.
"Yeah! Whatever that means… Anyways, this mean undead guy controlled me, and then he made me hurt 'Ranis, and his new friend, and now they're stuck in the city!!!" I quickly told them, I almost sounding like my words ran together.
Wild Saber was the first to understand me. Poor Painful and Kramor didn't know what to think!! It took them awhile to understand me, and when they did we formed a plan.
I walked back into the city with a blank expression, and the headband in place. I was to attack Cael, while Araga, prowling behind me, helped. It turned out that Araga got Painful's help, while Snarler ran into Wild Saber.
I made it back like how I left, people throwing things at me. I stood right outside the tent, waiting for Cael to tell me to come in.
"Feane… get in here and sit down." He told me in a tired tone. I did as he ordered, watching Araga out of the corner of my eye.
"Feane, me and your friends have been talking. I believe that we should put them out of their misery. Why don't you take out the human first." Cael ordered, and I stood up slowly. This wasn't apart of the plan. I slowly made my way over, and stood in front of Calypso.
"Araga attack Cael." I whispered, going for my weapons.
"What did you say?!" Cael jumped up to his feet. I didn't answer, I ran behind both Calypso and Taranis, and got them loose. Cael was about to yell, when we all heard a lot of noise outside. We ran out to see my friends fighting. Painful and Kramor were dealing with the guards, while Wild Saber made even more confusion by having a mechanical dragon out.
While we all (along with Araga) were watching this happen, I think Cael ran away.
Calypso ran off to assist the others. I was about to follow her but I looked back to Taranis. He was standing there, eyes wide, with a panicked look on his face. He almost looked like a confused child. I finally realized what his problem was. Something like this happened to his village. I looked around, and saw fire. It was spreading quickly. I heard screams as well. Even though they threw things at me, and killed others, what right had we to kill them? I shook myself, grabbed Taranis' arm, and dragged him away. He didn't protest, he just looked back in shock. I had to get him away.
"You guys! Let's go, we shouldn't kill any one!" I yelled at them, as soon as I got out of the small town. They all made faces at me (especially Wild Saber, he really loved to fight.) but did what I had asked. I was glad that they had.
The ride back to Feathermoon was a long one. We had to walk because Taranis still hadn't snapped out of it. He wasn't really responsive at all, and he wouldn't listen to us. I had to walk with him, while Rake and Araga trailed behind us. I was really worried about him, he had never been like that before (except the time I slapped him, that is). But even then he had some emotion. Now it was like he was a shell. I looked over at Calypso. She didn't look too worried, she was chatting with Kramor and Painful about something.
We finally reached Feathermoon; I still didn't let Taranis out of my sight. I was afraid that he'd do something stupid, or he would run away.
I had to force him to sit down on a bench when we reached the Feathermoon Inn. I felt like getting up, and when I tried, Taranis held me down.
"Don't go." Was all he said. I blushed when he leaned against me. I think he fell asleep, but I wasn't sure. It was the first time he had done anything like that, so it kinda confused me.
I was able to get him to a bed, and lay him down there. But because he told me to stay (and I knew he meant it.), I stayed with him. I watched him carefully as he slept. I was reminded when we were at the Rogue's area. He began to grit his teeth after a little bit, and he began to speak in another language again. It was obvious to me that he was having a nightmare. I bit my bottom lip, not knowing what to do. I knew that he needed sleep, or at least to relax. This nightmare of his wouldn't help him at all. I moved closer to him, and I knew that he didn't want to be alone. How was I to-?
That was when Calypso decided to make herself known. She had entered quietly, but talked loudly. It had made me jump.
"You should leave him be." She told me, with her arms crossed. I made a face at her.
"Why is that?!" I demanded, biting my bottom lip afterwards. I didn't mean to be so loud.
"Why? Well, he wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for you." She explained, with a small knowing smile. I hadn't known what to say next.
"I know what he went through. I knew it as soon as I met him; unlike you. We ran into you on accident. He hadn't wanted to come here." She told me, circling me like a shark.
She didn't stop there, she kept on going.
"He doesn't like you; he didn't even want to see you. Why do you think he stuck up for me, and not you?"
I looked away, and closed my eyes. It made sense, and I had been thinking the same thing.
"You should leave Kalimdor. Leave Taranis alone. It would probably be for the best. You're not even a decent hunter. Allowing yourself to get jumped on by a few undead."
I whimpered, and then ran out. I ignored the weird look from my friends. I grabbed all my things, and ran to the Hippogriff master. I saw Calypso watching me from the corner of my eye. I could tell she was smirking.
It was the only time I had willingly gotten onto a flying beast (alone, sadly) to get away. I was so upset that I didn't even realize how high I was flying. I flew to Theramore, and got onto a boat to Wetlands as soon as I could.
I went to the Hinterlands, and stayed there, doing tasks for people. I met a cool Draenei there too. He was nice. But that wasn't important. I made two new friends there. They both were guys, and they were very funny, but odd. One was a Night Elf (Yeah, another Elf) priest, named 'Thanatos.' The other was a gnome warlock named 'Oisin.'
Thanatos was sweet, and really nice and quiet. Oisin on the other hand was a…. Well, he was a pervert. He made weird jokes all the time, I never really understood them. I asked Thanatos one time, and all he said was 'You don't want to know.'
We were going to go and kill some of the trolls, but I refused to go. Neither of them understood why.
"Feane, what's the matter?" Thanatos asked me, in a concerned voice.
"Yeah. You 'fraid that those freaks with tusks will be worse than me?" Oisin joked, grinning up at me.
I shrugged weakly.
"You remember when that one Night Elf was found to be a troll? I knew the person." I told them, looking at the ground.
"You're kidding." Was all Oisin would say.
"So, that other hunter, the one he kidnapped, was you?" Thanatos asked, and I nodded.
"But he's my friend now. At least, he was my friend. I don't think he likes me anymore." I explained. Thanatos sat next to me, and smiled.
"It doesn't matter, I don't think. Oisin and I know that you are worth more than what you or he think." He comforted me, and Oisin rolled his eyes. I knew he was joking. I smiled brightly at them.
"You know…. I was just thinking about something. I think we saw you before." Oisin told me, with his arms crossed, looking thoughtful.
"Huh?" I tilted my head, confusedly.
"Oh yeah! You asked us about being maturity. I still don't understand why you asked." Thanatos recalled.
"Oh…. Taranis, the spy, said I was immature. I thought that I could get him to like me more if I showed him I could be mature." I explained.
"I still think maturity is overrated." Oisin muttered, with his arms crossed. Thanatos sighed, shaking his head.
"You're not immature, you just enjoy life. You're probably more mature than he is." He smiled again, and pulled me up. "Let's go, we'll forget about the trolls. I believe that we did need to get a picture of a turtle. Right Oisin?"
"Yeah, yeah. Jeez, it took you long enough." Oisin pouted, and we all left to find the turtle.
We got an interesting picture of the turtle. Snarler was with us, and he decided to play tag. We got a lot of funny pictures. We had to give the pictures to some lady that lived near Darnassus. This time, I wasn't able to ride back to the place. Oisin and Thanatos both said it was time for me to get over my fear. But, because I was so afraid, Thanatos offered to allow me to ride with him. I happily accepted. I didn't want to be alone! I didn't know, however, why he was blushing when he offered. I ignored it; he did get embarrassed over the silliest things. I clung to him, as we flew. He seemed to be really red by then. Eventually, I got used to it, but I was still afraid. He started talking to me, about weird things, and making small jokes here and there. When we landed in Wetlands, we got onto a boat to Darkshore, and I hoped that I wouldn't run into Calypso.
It took awhile a day or so to arrive, and reach Darnassus. It went by so quickly. When we arrived, we gave the lady her pictures, and then got a book in return. I watched her laugh when she saw the pictures. It made me smile. I loved making people happy. But I found something bad out; we were going to have to go to Tanaris. They didn't know why I didn't want to go there, but it didn't matter. We had to, and I didn't want to make a fuss. The worse part was that we were going to have to fly there. I supposed eventually I would get used to flying.
It took us a long time to reach Tanaris, and when we landed, I felt a million times worse. I just hoped that Taranis wasn't here, or Calypso. We walked into Gadgetzan, and I couldn't help but look around when we went in. He was there!!! He had his back to me, talking to some Goblin. I just stopped walking, and stared at him.
'Why is he here?!' Was all I could think before Thanatos pulled me along.
"Come on Feane, we need to get that book to the lady." Thanatos told me, and I saw Taranis' head snap up, and look around. I think he had seen me, because he looked upset.
Thanatos pulled me along for a bit, until I willingly caught up.
'I'll just leave as soon as I can. I don't think Calypso would care much.' I thought to myself, feeling a little braver. We gave the lady her book, when Taranis appeared behind us.
"Feane! Where have you been?" Taranis shouted. He didn't look angry though.
All three of us, Oisin, Thanatos, and I, turned around. When I went to answer, Oisin cut in.
"Feane's been everywhere." He said with a perverted grin. I was confused, I didn't get it. Thanatos, on the other hand, understood what he meant. He quickly whacked Oisin upside the head.
"I apologize for Oisin's… behavior. Feane has been with us, on the other continent. Why do you ask?" Thanatos told him, in a polite tone.
Taranis totally ignored Oisin and Thanatos.
"I've been worried about you, you know! You just disappear one night, with no notice, or anything!" Taranis shouted again. I looked down.
"Calypso said you didn't want me around." I whispered, and then walked away.
"What? Why would she-." Taranis began, but was cut off by Thanatos.
"I am sorry, but this seems to be upsetting Feane. Perhaps you should talk to her later." He suggested, and pulled me along. Oisin started laughing when we were away from Taranis.
"Wow, Feane. Looks like there will be some relationship problems in your future." Oisin joked. Well, at least I thought he was joking. I sighed, and glanced back at Taranis. He looked upset, still. I looked away, and tried to ignore him as best as I could.
"What are we going to do now?" I asked quietly, hoping that we'd get out of there that day. But no such luck.
"It is a tad too dark to go flying, if that's what you're wondering. Why don't we stay the night, and leave in the morning?" Thanatos suggested, and Oisin agreed. It was two against one, so I agreed hesitantly. Oisin was making weird jokes about everything he could see. Eventually, some female Goblin came up and slapped him. It wasn't the first one I've seen slap him. Actually, I think I remember seeing his succubus slap him once. I don't know why. Thanatos wouldn't tell me about that either. Anyways, after that we found the Inn, and paid to spend the night. We each paid for our own share. Thanatos tried to pay for my share, but I didn't let him. We all took a seat at the large table. Oisin was being his normal silly self (he was saying something about 'it's great to be short, there's a wonderful view!'), but Thanatos looked pretty upset. I rocked myself back and forth on the bench, watching him until the familiar human walked in. She was glaring at me out of the corner of her eye. She obviously wasn't happy about me being here. I didn't understand why she hated me. I looked away from her, and watched Oisin's Imp complain about everything. It was kinda funny to watch them argue. I watched the other Warlocks in the Inn grin. They could understand the Imp, because it spoke demonic as well. I couldn't understand, but they were acting silly all the same.
"Feane?" Thanatos spoke up, looking directly at me. "About this 'Taranis' guy. Are you sure you can trust him? I don't know what happened, but I know it wasn't good. If you need… my help to get rid of him, tell me."
I nodded, sighing to myself.
Authors note: Another one done. I'm glad I got some reviews (They helped a lot XD). I was wondering, who is your favorite and least favorite characters? I don't know why, but I love asking people that. I've also been thinking about putting pictures up, so everyone knows what (basically) the characters look like. I was bored, made the characters on WoW (as lvl 1s, of course), and took screen shots.
