Hell Bound

''When the days are cold And the cards all fold And the saints we see Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail And the ones we hail Are the worst of all And the blood’s run stale

I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you But with the beast inside There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed We still are made of greed This is my kingdom come This is my kingdom come

I felt claws unsheathing underneath my gloves. I turned and looked at her under my hood. Her eyes were mesmerizing. I closed my own eyes and let out a hardly audible sigh. I felt an invisible wave of heat flash through my body. I felt myself being drawn to her, wanting her.  === <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;text-align:center;">Her eyes searched my face. What could I give her? What could I ever give her? I was...a demon. To go down the stairs, I had to take a step closer to her. I did it slowly, waiting for a reaction. ''

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;text-align:center;">''"I'll wait." She said ever so softly, before stumbling away. ''

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;text-align:center;">''I let out a harsh breath and ran down the stairs. I sank to my knees as the full moon shone upon my body. An utter cry of anguish escaped my throat, turning into a vicous roar of a bloodthirsty demon.''

One-Moon Elf
The first time I saw my sister was when she was learning to fight. With fire. I was invisible to her, hiding in the trees. She fought well. I heard a snap behind me, and whirled to see my father.

"She is going to be good." He said.

I nodded.

"The war isn't going well. The Sun Elves refuse to back down." He said quietly.

"I can help, father." I said.

"No, Zaeren. You're too young. You're capable, but..." A flicker of dark light came into his eyes.

I shuddered. That light appeared whenever he became shdy about me or my past. What secret was he keeping? I shrugged and turned to watch my sister again.

"What's her name?" I asked simply.

"Seera."

I admired her powerful spurts of flame. I had never possesed something like that. I used flame, but it wasn't my specialty, which was strange for a Moon Elf. I was relatively weak. My powers hadn't been found yet, as my father claimed.

"Your mother is pregnant with another child." Father said gravely.

I gasped softly.

"Why? Do you want someone else who is better than me?" I said angrily.

Father smirked and smacked my shoulder.

"...yes."

I clenched my jaw and turned away. I left him behind, ignoring his faint cursing.
