"No"Kirei whispered menacingly "You owe my master an apologie" And with that, she struck out, her nails ripping through the soft flesh of Nariya's cheek. Her head whipped to the side with Kirei's well delivered blow, and she looked up through her silver hair, her eyes glowing with hatred.
"Sister!"Eirya cried.
"You're going to pay for that!"Nariya hissed. In one swift movement, she dropped to the ground, and kicked her leg out. Kirei fell hard, her side aching with the harsh landing. Nariya took the advantage and jumped on Kirei, grasping her fine hair, and pounding her head on the metal floor.
Kirei struggled onto her back, Nariya above her, and kicked her legs. Nariya cried as she hit the wall, suprized to have the same defense used on her twice. She glared at Kirei as she stood. Kireis attention was focused on Nariya, and only a second before Eirya plowed into her, did she notice her. The fell to the ground, ripping at each others hair, and crashing into the wall. They rolled right over a decline in the flooring, and tumbled down the dark ramp, onto flat flooring.
Kirei could feel her leash tighten, she knew she only had a few meters to go before it ran out. Kirei struggled to her feet and climbed on top of Eirya, using her knees to hold down Eiryas legs, while she punched her mercilessly. Eirya whimpered as blood started to stain Kirei's black gloves, the red seeping through the fabric and wetting Kireis bare knuckles.
Nariya cried out angerly as she ran to the stop of the decline and watched at Kirei punched Eirya over and over, she ran down the ramp and tackled Kirei, knocking the breath out of her. Kirei felt the leash tighten even more as they rolled down anouther hallway, fighting hard. Kirei choked as the leash pulled taught, and she felt arm being bent backwards as Nariya landed on top of her and started beating on her in the same manner Kirei had been beating on Eirya. But Nariya neglected to hold Kireis legs down, and Kirei kicked her stomache with all her force, Nariya rolled off her and cried out angerly, holding a bruised wrist.
Eirya stood above Kirei and kicked her head. Kirei could feel her vision blur with the blood that ran down into her eyes, and she turned hard to her side, trying to avoid anouther kick to her wounded head. Eirya knelt beside her, and grabbed her arm, twisting it hard back. The pressure built in Kireis arm untill she thought she could endure it no more, she felt blood fill her throught and she caughed, red crimson liquid dripped from her lips, then, tierd of holding back her anger, she lashed out at Eirya, who was still behind her. She hit her with the arm Eirya had obviously thought was pinned beneath her body, and Eirya fell backwards. Kirei ignored the shooting pain in her arm, knowing it was severly hurt, and concentrated all her force on beating Eirya's face in.
Nariya reached out, and harshly pulled on Kireis leg, she cried out as pain shot through her calves, and she closed her eyes tightly. She kicked out and hit Nariyas stomache, knocking the wind out of her.
Faintly, in the reccess of her mind, she thought she could hear feet pounding on the ground, but ignored it, and pressed a memory back. A memory of feet running on soft grass, the wind whispering in her hair, and laugter, laughter... stolen from her lips as fire engulfed the sky. Where was that memory from? Why was it taunting her? That sound! It was footsteps.
"Kirei!" A voice yelled a Kirei continued to beat Eirya, and Nariya continued to scratch her leg.
"Nariya! Eirya!" It was Folkens voice. Kirei ignored him, he wasnt her master, and she wouldnt stop for him.
"Kirei!" Dilandaus voice broke through to her mind, shattering the rage she felt within her soul. She felt strong arms pull her from Eirya, and noticed that Nariya had stopped also. Eirya lay on the ground, gasping for breath, her face bloody and shredded.
The hands let go of Kireis waist, and she dropped to the ground, weakly. She looked up to her left, and saw Dilandau. She crawled to him, trying not to cry, but could feel the tears welling in her eyes. She saw Migel step back, and knew it was he who pulled her from Nariya and Eirya
"Nariya! Eirya!"Folken knelt down beside his Catgirls, petting their heads affectionatly and tenderly, then he helped them stand, letting them lean on him for support.
"Were sorry Folken"Nariya breathed as she grasped his cloak and burried her head in his shoulder. Folken nodded, glaring at Dilandau.
"Dilandau!"Folken cried angerly. "Look what she has done to Nariya and Eirya"
"Maybe they deserved it!"Dilandau replied coldly. Kirei crept up in front of him, and sat on her haunches, glaring at Nariya and Eirya defiantly. She hissed under her breath and Nariya narrowed her eyes at her.
Folken stood straighter, ignoring Dilandaus comment. "Keep her away, or you will be severly punished. You wouldnt want Emporer Dornkirk to know of this, would you?"Folken warned as he carefully held Nariya and Eirya up.
"Chesta"Dilandau ordered, waving Folkens warning off. "Take her back and tend to her injuries"He ordered, glaring at Folken.
Kirei stood, her legs shaking slightly, and stumbled to Chesta. She stepped beside him, casting a glance at Nariya and Eirya as she walked strongly beside Chesta. They turned around the corner, and Kireis stance imediatly weakened. Her shoulders dropped and she tripped, falling against the wall. She stumbled down the hall for a few steps, then dropped to her knees weakly. She whimpered as Chesta kneeled in front of her, his face full of concern as he grasped her shoulders and kept her from falling forward.
"Oh Chesta!"She whispered. She could hear Dilandau and Folken arguing down the next hallway, and she numbly let her head drop. Her shoulders shook with sobs as she fell against Chesta's shoulder and he held her to his body tightly. She leaned against him and felt him run his fingers through her hair.
"Its okay Kirei, calm down"He whispered in her ear. She held her arm against her chest and reached up with her other hand, sliding her finger over Chestas neck. He bent over and kissed her cheek, tasting the saltiness of her tears.
The voices in the other hallway stopped, and Chesta gently lifted Kirei up in his arm, cradling her to his chest. She whimpered again as he stood, his eyes closed as he breathed in deeply, he could smell her hair, like flowers, and the sweet pungent smell of blood. He stepped forward, starting off down the hall.
"Chesta!"Dilandaus voice echoed from behind him. Chesta turned to look at his master, and paused.
"Yes sir?"
Dilandau walked up to Chesta, he nearly towered over his dragonslayer. "I will carry her"He said. Chesta nodded and held out his arms, Dilandau slipped his under Kireis limp body, and she slowly leaned against him. Dilandau nodded towards Chesta, and turned down the hallway, striding ahead of him and Migel. Kirei opened her eyes painfully, and looked up at Dilandau, he looked down at her, his expression impassive. She reached up her hand tierdly, and brushed a hair from in front of his eyes. His expression softened, and she felt him pull her closer to him.
"Master?"She whispered, almost not believing it. Then blackness crowded into her mind, and she fell against him, her last thought, of Dilandau...
