Guess who is back!! I been playing LOK: Defiance.it's cool! Confusing but cool! Yah!

Alora watched Adrienne the next evening through narrowed eyes as Adrienne smiled and sat among the boys who were playing a game on who could tell the best fight stories.

'Pathetic! What has happened to her?! To the warrior?!'

When Adrienne giggled at some silly joke Alora slammed her slender hand down on a nearby desk causing everyone within to jump and jerk their heads towards her.

"Adrienne! What has happened to you?! You are weak! Giggling like a fool. like a love sick young girl without a care in the world! You were once the best! The cruelest! What happened!"

The boys looked at Alora silently then slowly slid their gaze to Adrienne who was sitting on the side of Marcus's chair with an expressionless face.

"I still am the best."

Alora snorted ,"Your not the Adrienne I remember! You've gone soft!"

Adrienne just sat there calmly and glanced to Vorador who looked back at her in response as he tapped the hilt of his sword at his waist, after a shake of her head he leaned back into his chair, but his hand still wrapped around the hilt readily.

Alora stomped up to her then shifted her gaze to Vorador then back to her.

"Did he cause this? Did he cause you to go soft?"

Alora slowly pulled her sword from the black scabbard at her hip. After the weapon faced in front of her small form Adrienne stood to her feet, her warm green eyes now hard frost emerald.

Her voice was soft as she stared at the form of Alora.

"Put the sword away Alora."

Alora smirked," I think not my dear friend! Not until I rid you of your silly fantasies!"

Adrienne walked forward slowly, her hands clenching and unclenching slowly.

"Stop this now Alora before it gets out of hand."

Alora gave a soft growl as she charged forward with a scream, only to be found against the wall, her face embedded in the uneven wood.

Adrienne growled into her ear.

"Give up now."

Alora hissed in outrage, twisting her body to knock Adrienne off. She had barely pushed her back when Adrienne's claws whipped around smashing into the side of her pale face knocking her body onto the cold marble floor.

She shook her head slowly only to have it slammed back into the ground and Adrienne's pale face to swim into view after the red haze had cleared.

"Raise your hand to Vorador or my friends again, friend or not to you, I will tear you apart."

Alora's pale face paled even more as she nodded, the once brave eyes now shadowed with renewed fear and awe of the younger woman standing over her.

Adrienne shoved her back to the floor and walked out of the room, ripping one door off the hidge.

Marcus glanced at Alora.

"How does it feel to be the prey? To be hunted? I believe she was telling you the truth in her warning."

He nodded his head to his brothers in a silent goodbye and followed Adrienne out.

Alora turned over on her stomach and groaned at the pain in her head as she watched Adrienne walk away as she looked down and whispered.

"I'm your guardian. Why won't you let me protect you?"

She was given no answer.
