Alura smiled and nearly broke into tears as he said it back and blinked a few times, not able to look away from Lemartes. She felt as if her heart was in her throat as the ceremony continued, asking the questions she'd never dreamed to hear. "Do you, take this man to be our lawfully wedded husband?" She nodded slowly and, after a minute or so, found her voice. "I do..."
Larkin stood in the back of the chappel, an evil grin on his face as he stay in the shadows, awaiting the moment. The moment they were married, he'd snatch the girls up, and his plot would unfold.

Nikkie's eyes were closed as she drifted to sleep.
CC and JJ stood behind Larkin, waiting for him to make the first move. The two had Jacob in their sights...Werewolves were such fun to kill...

Fighting the urge to embrace his love, Lemartes waited for his turn in the ceremony. His smile widened at Alura’s answer, and he was forced to swallow a fit of nervousness when the priest turned towards him, and asked him the same question, except using wife, instead of husband. “Y-yes...” Caught up in the excitement and anticipation, he blushed a little after blurting out his reply, and slowed down his speech. “Yes, I do…”
Waiting in an adjacent hallway, Logan and Jamirus, along with their stubborn sister, readied their weapons just in case. None of them expected any real resistance to be at a wedding, but most of the leaders of the races were here…Along with that mutt, Jacob, thought Allicia as she lightly ran her finger across the edge of her dagger.

Tears blurred Alura's vision and she smiled as the priest said that he could kiss the bride, but, not able to stand still any longer, Stepped foreward and wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and gently pressed her lips against his.
Larkin errupted into a dark and twisted laugh as he clapped his hands, vague amusement on his face. "Now." He whispered before un-sheathing his sword and walking up the isle. "Congratulations." He growled dryly before lifting his sword and contining up the isle. "I almost don't want to kill you all."
Syrenia, morphed into ehr Lycan form, the bride's maid dress tearing here and there. "You shan't touch either of them." She snarled, ehr blue eyes blazing with rage. "I will kill you before you take another step."

Now it was time for CC and JJ. Stepping quickly around Larkin, the two smiled as an evil, twisted look appeared on their faces. "Ah, the famous Syrenia. Allow us to introduce ourselves. " they said with dark, twisted, child-like voices. "I am CC""And I JJ" We are oracles from the Elf kingdom, allow us the pleasure of finishing you quickly so that we may move on to more important things. " they snarled as they glared at her, twisted smiles showing sharp teeth.
Nikkie screamed as she awoke, and memories of her past engulfed her again as her eyes hazed over, her left arm becoming a large scapel, and her right a large butcher knife.

All of Lemartes’ joy vanished at the sight of his hated rival. Keeping his new family behind him, he breathed heavily in indignation. “Larkin! How dare you show your face here and now…” Without even thinking, his arms morphed into their usual sharp blades. However, he remained by Alura and Nikkie, not willing to risk leaving them alone. His eyes were burning with a terrible hate, and something in his gut warned him that something horrible was about to unfold.
Stepping beside Syrenia, Jake’s tuxedo also ripped as he changed into his lycan form. The threatening looks on his face promised death to those who were not welcomed here. He may not have had his chains with him at the moment, but using a pew as a bludgeon wasn’t totally out of the question. Already people were filing out in a terrified motion. But even in the chaos, he kept his eyes on the several drow gathered. “Go back to your holes, before I bury you all six feet under…”
“My, my… Is that really how one should treat old acquaintances? How rude, Lemartes… And shame on you two dogs, meddling in affairs that do not concern you…” Sitting innocently on a table, Allicia smiled menacingly at her targets while running a finger across the edge of her dagger. “I suppose we’ll just have to teach you all a lesson then, won’t we, boys?”
As if on cue, Logan and Jamirus darted out of side halls, maneuvering through the rows of seats and heading towards the shapeshifters. Jumping up and using the backrests as stepping stones, it wasn’t long before Logan closed the distance, and he took a bold leap at Lemartes, swing heavily with his broadsword. The youth had a determined look on his face, and said nothing as he continued the assault. Jamirus was more subtle, though, probing at Alura with feints and jabs. He had a sadistic smile on his face, knowing that Nikkie would be Alura’s foremost concern. “You may have bested my brother, but I am a more seasoned fighter!”

((SHADOW! *GLOMP* Meh Missed you. ^^''))
Alura was stunned for a moment, and caught the edge of the drow's sword on her upper arm. "Oh my god..." Grabbing Nikie and leaping a few feet away, the shifter placed the child on the ground and clenched her fists. Nothing would get close to her adopted daughter. not as long as there was breath in ehr lungs. "You are a fool Drow..."
Syrenia blinked surprisedly for amoment, before falling side-ways as Larkin's blade scored deeply into her thigh. "God damn it...." She snarled, reaching for the drow lord, who snaked past her easily.
Throwing the special 'choker' that Lachra had custom made in Jamirus' direction, a dark gleam in his eyes. Turning on his heels inorder to face both Lemartes and Jacob, the drow smirked amusedly ebfore blinking at the Lycan. "Hello..." he blinked at Lemartes "and congratulations...."

Nikkie's eyes burned with a fierce rage as she separated memories from reality. Someone..Was attacking her new mommie..And she could do something to stop it. Whirling in front of Alura, she sliced at the air, doing nothing but blocking the attacks of Jamirus. A growl slipped from her lips as her brought the large butcher knife down on his shoulder, whether it would hit the target, she wasn;t sure, but she would try.
CC and JJ lunged, each had foot long nails as they jabbed out at Syrenia. JJ lunged over the woman and began to attack her from behind, while CC covered the front.

In replay to Logan’s daring charge, Lemartes parried the attack and moved pass the youth, before something caught his attention. Staring questioningly at the choker that had been thrown, Lemartes frowned before turning his attention back to Larkin. “I’ll feel happy once I bury your corpse! I don’t need your approval for anything, Drow!” Practically spitting out the word, he dashed in at the dark elf, thrusting forward with one of his ‘sword-arms.’ “I’ve had enough of your meddling ways!”
Nearly losing his balance, Logan stumbled a few steps before recovering. He saw that his Lord was in danger, but found himself not really caring at the moment. What ever Allicia saw in him was beyond his comprehension… But, like it or not, Larkin was part of the family now… And so, Logan dashed after Lemartes, and cut him off once more with a grin. “Relax, this is your wedding, after all… A time of joy, no doubt…”
Seeing Syrenia in a jam, Jacob was quick to cover her flanks, warding off JJ and CC to the best of his ability. Parrying with his hands and arms, he ignored the fine red lines that started to appear on his limbs, and continued defending his leader with grim determination. “Vile demons! I shall see to it personally that you do not live to see the end of this conflict!”
Darting out of the way of Nikkie’s brutal weaponry, Jamirus received a gash on his arm for his efforts. ‘Better then no arm,’ he thought. His eyes caught sight of the magical choker, and he swore softly to himself, realizing that there were two shapeshifters that he had to deal with, and only one choker… “damn it, Larkin…” Grabbing at in none the less, he clutched it in one hand while defending with the other. Who would he put it on?
Her brother’s confusion was easily read, and Allicia was at Jamirus’ side in a few seconds, dagger drawn. Whispering over to her kin, she smirked. “That goes to the small one, as leverage over the others…” She understood his frustration, and tried to redirect Jamirus’ indignant rage at the pair of females before them. “I’ll keep Alura busy.” Exploding into motion, the wily Drow leapt up in the air, and turned before landing behind, and facing, Alura. “Come now, surrender. Defeat is inevitable… Wouldn’t want to hurt that handsome man of yours…”

CC and JJ were obviously upset with Jacobs interference. JJ turned around to face him. "You can try, but people have been, trying for years. " she growled as she flashed her fangs, her nails growing longer and thicker as a snakelike tongue lashed out of her mouth. Sharp as a razor, and like her nails, it grew. Flicking his cheek she hissed as she tasted blood.
Nikkie screamed in rage as she became blinded by rage. Whirling around, she spun towards him, her arms straight out, bound to hit something.

Syrenia blinked at Jake and raised ehr brows. Why couldn't there be just one day when everything went as planned? A growl rose from deep in her chest, comming out a threatening snarl as she lifted ehr fisted hands. She couldn't let Jake fight all of her batles. Stepping to the side, she blinked at the two small drow and lashed her tail annoyedly. "Didn't your parents ever tell you to respect you elders?"
Alura narrowed her eyes. "Okay, you just want me to smash your face in, don't you?" She smiled before laughing darkly. "Okay, I guess it's only polite that I oblige." Lifting a fist, she threw it toward the other womans' face, her jaw clenched tightly.
Larkin leapt back evasively, but still was caught by the tip of his 'sword-arm'. Growling darkly, the drow smirked and shook his head before laughing and lifting hisown sword to deflect the vigorus attack.

CC Laughed. "Our dead parents taught us that the older they are, the weaker they get. You proved their point. Now, we have Larkin and Allicia, I'm positive they would have us kill you, so why bother them with the question!" She lunged forward, her nails out as large fang grew from her mouth, turning her soft voice into a raspy breath, her tongue lashing out.
Nikkie's hand returned to normal only for a second before changing. Her right arm became large surgical scissors. Her left became a large needle, God only knows what was in it, but one thing was sure, it was lethal. Her eyes became a blood red as th color ran through her eyes, creating dark red orbs.

In no mood for their sick jokes, Lemartes swung heavily at the younger drow, Logan. Following up with a strong kick, the shifter was pleased to feel his foot hit something soft before turning his attention to the ringleader. “You will not beat me here, nor anywhere, Drow!” He didn’t risk transforming into a dragon, like Alura had suggested… He might end up hurting some of his friends in the melee.
With a grunt, Logan crashed into and through a table, and the world seemed to spin cruelly as he tried to stand and gain his bearings. Fighting the nausea, he leaned on his broadsword for support. “He’s got quite the kick for an old timer…” His breaths were labored, but he’d live, he knew. But before jumping back into the fray, he paused, catching his second wind. Besides, if Larkin fell, that meant that they could go home.
“What in the world-!” His sentence trailed off into a cry of pain as his cheek was cut, and Jacob glared at the little girl in front of him. “Truly you have no place in this world with such an appearance and personality… I don’t care how long it takes, but mark my words, I will make your death a painful one indeed!” Stomping his foot down hard to emphasize the point, his muscles tightened for a second before he bravely rushed at his opponent, letting lose a deafening battle cry in the chapel.
Jamirus’ eyes widened as he witnessed Nikkie’s changing hands, and swallowed involuntarily. Sure, he had fought shifters before, but they usually changed into animals, what kind of madness was this? He didn’t even dare try to guess what she could inject into his body, knowing that it would probably kill him anyways. Parrying away the deadly instruments, he reached into a pocket with his free hand, and pulled out a small silver orb. Throwing the object on the ground, he quickly closed his eyes for a second as a bright flash erupted between the two combatants. Hopefully with that distraction, he could slip the collar on.
Such a bold offensive maneuver was unexpected, and as Allicia tried to dodge it at the last second, the blow still caught her cheek. Falling back, she quickly rolled into a crouch and frowned disdainfully at Alura. “That wasn’t very woman-like, if you ask me… What he sees in you I’ll never know.” She rose to her feet and smirked. “Maybe I should do him a favor, and kill you, then…” Her aim was just to separate Alura from Nikkie, and goading the shifters apart was just one thing in her bag of tricks.

Larkin raised a brow at Lemartes and smirked. "I wouldn't be so sure." He laughed darkly and lifted his sword, staying weary of Lemartes' 'sword arms' he both struck and parried, alternating appropreately, his only intention was to keep Lemartes from Alura and Nikkie. The shifters had no idea what they were up against. At least, not this time.
Alura smirked. "Bring it on b!tch." She lifted her fists again and smirked. "In a fight, I've found it quite un-effective to fight like a woman." sHe turned her lips up in a twisted snarl-smile before shaking her head.
Syrenia blinked wide-eyed at Jacob and sidestepped, before lurching toward one of the twins, her clawed hands out-streched.

CC Lunged right back at him, her claws outstretched, but he reached her first. She felt his blow as she was knocked to the ground. Looking at her elbow, she felt a single tear in her eye. "To hrt a small child such as I, you truly do not deserve to live!" in a flash her small, hurt child act quickly changed as she lunged at him, her claws aiming for his neck, blinded by her anger, she felt skin, but knew not where it hit.
JJ Turned to Syrenia. "Don't worry, we didn;t forget about you. " Quickly, she ran past her, stopping just behind her. Whirling around, she grabbed the older womans arm, wrenching it behind her back. Twirling, she twisted.
Blinded by light, Nikkie fell back onto her butt. Her hands quickly changed back to normal as she shielded her eyes, yet before her hands reached her face, her left involuntarily changed into a small kitchen knife. As she felt the blade scratch er face, she screamed, and began flailing around, only injuring herself, and whatever was near enough, worse.

"We'll see about that, now won't we!" Not hesitating at all to use full force, Lemartes swung heavily at his hated rival. Larkin had been a thorn in his side for far too long. And how dare he even think about ruining his wedding with Alura! Noticing that Logan was hanging back, he took his chance and focused solely on Larkin.
With a smirk, he looked around, spotting his brother's plight. Let Larkin survive on his own skills, he thought as he rushed over to pin the confused girl. As she made a wild swing, he stopped suddenly though, receiving a thin cut on his cheek for the effort. Better then losing his tongue, he figured... Ignoring the pain, he managed to wrestle Nikkie onto her stomach. "Jamirus, now is a good time if any!"
Seeing his brother subdue the unpredictable child, Jamirus darted on in, sheathing his sword and wrapping the collar around Nikkie's neck. Watching as the child's knife-hand was forced back to normal, he shooed Logan off of her and picked her up firmly, holding Nikkie so she couldn't move. Whistling a signal to the others, he frowned and dashed off for the nearest exit.
Taking a step back as the girl lunged at him, Jacob winced as her claws dug small holes into his chest. His handsshot out quickly, grabbing the child by the sides of her chest before pushing and holding her at arm's length. "Vile demon!" Flexing his muscles, he tried to cave in the girl's rib cage.
Hearing the whistle, Allicia smirked, scanning the room quickly before resting her eyes on Jacob's catch. "Well I'd love to stay, really, but there are better things for me to kill... Tah-tah!" Dashing off, she used the pews as stepping stones, making her way to save her adopted daughter. Upon reaching Jacob, she slashed the back of his wrist, and caught the girl as she fell down. "Come my dear, we must depart... Larkin! Our business is done here!"

Nikkie squealed as She became pinned and morphed her hand back to normal. Memories flashed into her mind again as she flailed, but silenced as the collar was placed around her neck. Tears rolled down her hot cheeks as she fumbled with it, trying to pull the dammed collar off. She barely noticed Jamirus as he picked her up taking her with him, but she did noticed she couldn't morph her body anymore. That had been her only protection, it had freed her, it kept her alive. Terrified now more than ever, she began to scream and flail, growing more and more terrified as her took her off.
CC merely laughed at him. Digging her nails into his arm, she began to claw her way closer to him. As Allicia knocked him off of her, she released him, falling into her mothers arms. "JJ!" She called. The girls quickly left Syrenia, mocking her as she left. "You got lucky!" she called as she darted quickly beside Allicia with ease.

Everything happened so fastly. The drows had scooped Nikkie up and were sprinting away by the time the shiftress broke form her opponent. "Nikkie!" She screamed, running after them awkwardly in the long wedding gown, her eyes wet with tears. "Nikkie!" Bile was rising in her throat. She was supposed to protect her-- Nikkie and Lemartes. Tripping over her gown and heels, the woman fell onto the floor, still trying to move after the drows, clawing at the red carpet as she crawled down the asile. "NIKKIE!" Her voice cracked and she lurched foreward, standing awkwardly, on her heels.
Larkin leapt backward and smirked mockingly while lifting two fingers to his brow in a teasing salute. "The better has again triumphed." He smirked darkly before turning and leaping, easily clearing half of the room, not stopping to look back as he propelled himself foreward and out the doors.
Syrenia snarled, her pelt bristling as the twins mocked her. "Don't be so sure!" She growled. Hearing Alura's cries, her eyes widened. They'd captured the young shifter? Rage overcame the lycan, who had, in the brief moments she'd come to recconcilliation, transformed into a wolf and sprinted after them, her chest heaving with effort. She couldn't let them take away Alura and Lematres' daughter! Not when she'd almost lost her Rina to things under similar circumstances....

Setting CC beside her sister, Allicia motioned for them to follow, heading in another direction different from Larkin and Jamirus. "Logan, protect your brother!" She led the girls out of the building, and flashed Alura one final smug smile before exiting through a door.
Pausing to see what all the screaming was about, Lemartes' eyes widened as he spotted Nikkie in Jamirus' arms. "No... Nikkie!" A cold glare shifted onto Larkin, but the wily drow was already near the door by then. "damn it!" The drow were using different exits to disorient them, but he chased after Jamirus, anger and frustration clear in his expression. "No!"
Despite his yearning to kill that demon of a child, Jacob followed Syrenia's lead and changed into a wolf as well, and sprinted like a bat from hell after the fleeing Jamirus. No... Lemartes and Allura had gone through too much for this to happen... He had to get Nikkie back!
Hearing his younger brother's curse at Allicia's instruction, Jamirus glared back at him as they ran through the pews. "Just do it! You don't have to stay here for long! Just hold them off for a minute Logan!" He didn't like being chased by TWO large wolves at once, and hopped out a window, wishing his brother luck.
Biting his lower lip until blood slowly trickled down his chin, Logan skidded to a stop in front of the window his brother had used as an exit before turning to analyze the situation. His conclusion? FUBAR. fucked Up Beyond All Recognition... "This won't end well..."

CC and JJ followed Allicia, but stopped for a breif second at the door. "Ta Ta you old hag, Sorry our visit was cut short!" Called JJ, blowing her a kiss. "You owe me a rib puppy, I'll come back and get it personally." Snarled CC, blowing him a kiss as well. Quickly following Allica, the two had sinister smiles on the cute little faces. They couldn't wait to play with Nikkie....If only Larkin an dllicia would let them...
Nikkie buried her face into Jamirus's chest as he lunged out of the window, silent as the glass smashed. She would refuse to speak again. These..creatures were new to her, but they tore her away from what she loved.

Syrenia snarled, and with a powerful kick, launched herself foreward, sailing through the air, toward the drow who stood near the window. She hadn't been fast enough to stop the others, but she wouldn't allow the drows to leave without a loss of their own. Her fangs shone demonicly as she opened her jaws, still flying at the drow, her massive paws out-streached... ready to rip into the dark flesh....
Alura chocked back a sob, and threw her head back before morphing into the silver-winged falcon and taking to the air. She wasn't going to let them take Nikkie... They couldn't take her. Soaring out the now broken window of the chappel, the female released a deafening screach, ehr wings beating hard as she flew after the drows.
Larkin narrowed his eyes at the shiftress, who flew above them, circling and drawing nearer with each beat of her powerful wings. "Jamirus! Go!" He called, his expression growing more and more annoyed with the fact that the shifters were fighting back.

Following his wife's lead, Lemartes morphed into a hawk before flying after Jamirus. How dare that coward of an elf use Nikkie as a hostage! He wouldn't allow this to happen. He'd be damned if he just let them take her. The shifter was going to do everything in his power to stop them, and started a sharp dive, planning to intercept Jamirus as he was leaving the area. "..Over my dead body..."
"Crap, if I stay here I'm as good as dead..." Staring calmly at the two rushing wolves, Logan bit his lower lip. His courage had fled him the moment he had been given this task, and fear started to grip at his heart the longer he remained. Not able to decide on whether he should fight or not, his decision was made when Syrennia leapt at him. "shit, shit, shit, shit, shit...." Already sprinting for his life as the wolf landed on nothing, Logan made a desperate dash for a door.
Changing direction as the drow decided to flee, Jacob roared in anger at Logan and skidded to a stop in front of the drow's intended escape route. "Leaving so soon, are you?" The wolf slowly stalked towards his surprised foe, his footfalls cracking the ground under him. "I think not... You and your kin have done an awful thing today, and now you'll have to pay for it...."
Concerned for her kid-brother, but focused enough to keep going, Allicia met up with Larkin outside and ran alongside him. "So, they decided to give chase, have they..? Well at least the lycan's are being kept busy..." She glanced at Jamirus' fleeting figure and shouted. "Keep moving!" She frowned when he saw his face turn back to hers, his thoughts easily readable. "He'll be alright, Logan can take care of himself!"
"..." Suddenly feeling a tad bit guilty and sympathetic towards his brother, Jamirus bit his lip and continued on, sprinting like a bat out of hell to get away from Nikkie's adoptive parents. Well, at least the child wasn't squirming anymore... Hopping over a line of hedges, he didn't dare look back to see where Lemartes and Alura were... If looks could kill, surely he'd already be dead...

Nikkie's eyes were widened with fear as she began to tug at the collar. Well..Since she couldn't morph anymore, she was more terrified then she had ever been, and she had been thinking vile thoughts. What was the worst thing she could do to him once this thing was off of her.....Running her tongue over her teeth accidentally, she screamed, she had been to deep in thought to realize she had other means of protection without her tools...although it wasn't much.
Deciding whether or not she should do it, other thoughts ran through her mind. She felt so utterly defenseless..Her tools had saved her life...and had also dammed her....But she had grown dependent on them..she needed them...And if she couldn't change..she would grow ill again..Like she had already so many times..She would be forced into the hospital wing again..More needles...More needles...
Already she had begun to hyperventilate. Her eyes glazed over, and her grip on the drow's arm weakened significantly. Dipping her head back,s he went limp in his arms. Closing her eyes, she furrowed her brows, and broke out in a sweat. the drow's didn't have the medications she needed....She would grow sicker..and be in more pain. Slowly, she completely passed out.

Larkin growled as Lemartes started his dive. "Allicia, get Jamirus back to the castle." Saying no more, she un-sheathed his sword and leapt foreward, intending to meet the bird with his weapon. "You damn shifters don't know when to give up!" He snarled, heaving his sword up, swinging it toward the other male.
Alura's eyes widened at this, and panic filled her. Now what? Help Lemartes, or go after Nikkie? She folded her wings against her body, dropping toward the drow and her husband. The wind ruffled her feathers as she descended, dropping fast...
Syrenia snarled as she landed, annoyed with ehrself for missing the intended target. "damn it...." She lifted ehr tail and pinned her ears back, stalking foreward slowly, claws scratching the floor beneath her.

Hearing Larkin's taunt, Lemartes frowned, swerving to the side to dodge his foe's deadly blade. Screeching at the drow in indignation, the shifter looped up, trying to find a safe angle to dive in at Jamirus. Seeing Alura fly in for support, he tensed. "Go after Nikkie! I'll be alright!"
Noticing that the two lycans were backing him up into a corner, Logan smiled nervously. "I suppose it's too late to ask you guys to let this little intrusion slide..." An angry stomp from Jacob confirmed his suspicion. Raising his sword defensively, he bit his lip. One of them would go down...
Seeing Logan's intent, Jacob growled. Quickly moving forward before Syrennia could do anything, he rushed at the drow. He'd be damned if he let his leader get hurt. It was an honor to serve under her. Protecting her was the least he could do for all that she and her family had done for him.
Nodding at Larkin's instruction, Allicia glanced down at CC and JJ as they ran. "Alright girls, we have to make sure Jamirus gets back with the child, Larkin and Logan will meet with us later." Pulling out her dagger, she wasted no time in getting beside her older brother. "Run, that's all you need to do."
With a nod, Jamirus did as he was told. At least the child had stopped screaming... But was she dead..? No, he could feel her breathing softly. Leaving the church far behind, he sprinted for a patch of woodlands.

CC and JJ nodded. Skidding to a stop, JJ turned round. "I'm going back to Jamirus..Something is wrong..He will be hurt." Her eyes glazed over as she left them. CC's eyes glazed over next. "However..Nikkie will get to the castle." She responded, letting her sister go. This would be the first time they had been separated.
As JJ ran, a scythe twice her size , made from shadows appeared in her hand. Jumping back inside, she saw Jacob lunge. Pounding in front of him, she swung her syte angrily. "Don't touch him Dammit!" She growled.

Alura, though against all of her instinct un-folded her wings and soared up; doing as her husband asked. Worry clouded her thoughts as she cast a glance back at Lemartes, a soft frown on her lips. If the drows hurt him... Anger overcame her, and she beat her wings; flying foreward with great intensity. They would not take her daughter. In a movement of sheer grace, a bright light engulfed the warioress and where a falcon had been, a great silver dragon now soared, its magnificent wings flapping hard. Throawing her head back, she released a peircing snarl-like roar and dove toward the group of fleeing drows.
Larkin, enraged that both shifters had been evasive enough to dodge his attack snarled and lashed out again, his blade tearing through the air. "So this is how it is shifter? Going to fly away rather than fight me like a man?" He shook his head, discusted. "I'm discusted to call you my enemy." He landed back on the ground with a light 'thud', his feet in warrior stance, knees partially bent. "C'mon you pathetic excuse for a leader! You think the last shifter in charge would flea to the sky?" He snorted with contempt. "At least he was a worthy advirsary!" He mocked, trying to anger Lemartes.
Syrenia blinked at Jacob, horror taking the place of all emotions. What would she do if he was injured? Mortally injured? She dropped tensed her frame before throwing her head back and morphing into her lycan form. Standing taller than the drow by several feet, the female were-wolf snarled, trying to distract the drows; attempting to give Jake an advantage. She could only hope it worked.

Well, whatever Larkin hoped to achieve by his taunting, it was starting to get to Lemartes all the same. Veering off to Larkin, he morphed back into his human form, yelling out a stream of curses at the drow, his arms already changed into silver blades. He stopped to engage Larkin for several reasons. Taking away one opponent to help Alura’s current objective played a big part of it, but for the most part? He just hated Larkin. “I may not be like my predecessor, but I will kill you!”
Logan was quite surprised to see JJ, but glad for the help none the less. “JJ! You should be helping Jamirus escape!” His attention was diverted to Syrenia for a moment, but when he saw that she was just trying to intimidate them, he scoffed and glanced back at JJ. Her strike happened too fast for him to see if there was any contact, but that didn’t matter. For some reason the floor was slick with a red liquid, and that was all the signal he needed. Sheathing his broadsword, he frowned and grabbed JJ before she could do any more. Carrying her as he ran, he exited the building, heading for the others. “I’m touched that you came back for me, but in all honesty, our objective’s the little girl.”
Disoriented as the scythe slammed into him, Jacob stumbled and crashed into the wall as the two drow fled. Sliding to the ground in a heap, he groaned and morphed into his human form. There was a decent sized slit in his back, and his breaths came out in labored gasps as he hacked up a fair amount of blood. His life fluid even trickled down the side of his head, although he seemed not to notice it. Running into the wall had opened up a new gash on his head, and Jake collapsed as he tried to get up. Staring blankly off into nothing, his hand tentatively reached down to his pocket, his fingers rubbing against the glass rose he had been given by Mother Nature herself. No, he wouldn’t. He had to rely on his own strength if he wanted to avenge his family. Already most of his body was numb, and it was difficult to stay awake.
Seeing Alura still trailing after her brother, Allicia scowled. She was fed up with these shifters just as much as her husband was. “CC! We can’t allow her to get the girl back!” Pulling her daggers from their sheaths, the female frowned at the bird above, prepared to launch a blade the moment she made her move. “I’ll try to stop her, keep on following Jamirus!” Sprinting ahead of Alura, she chuckled. “Why fight for something that is not even yours? Your cause is as good as lost! Just give up already Alura!”
Still holding onto Nikkie, Jamirus was relieved to see his brother trying to catch up to him in the distance. So he had made it out of there after all. Jamirus didn’t slow down for a second, though. He knew well enough that Alura was still trailing after her ‘daughter.’

JJ Growled as she was picked up. Letting her scythe dissipate into thin air, she folded her arms and huffed. "But I was having fun....You didn't even let me sink my blade into that awful wretch of a wrinkled excsuse of a puppy..." She did, however, let a smile part her cold lips. "However Jacob should be realizing just how rough a small child can be..."
CC Nodded as she easily tagged along Jamirus. Noticing Nikkie limp in his arms, her eyes grew wide. "You killed her! Logan and Allicia are going to kill you..Way to go idiot.." She growled, rolling her eyes as her large scythe appeared in her hands, ready to defend this...Idiot next to her.

Syrenia screamed as she saw Jacob fall. No! He was one of ehr closest and most trusted friends... Staying in her lycan form, she rushed foreward and took the man into her arms, eyes wide. "Jake! Jake, damnit. Stay awake. Don't you dare close your eyes. You got that? Don't you dare!" Tears were lacing her words, making it hard to keep her voice strong as she blinked down at her dear friend, and protector. "Jake, don't go-- Please, breathe, don't fall asleep; you have got to fight..." She desprately tried to stop the bleeding from the gaping wound in his back, but found her attempts frivouless and wasted as the blood continued trickling through her fingers. Placing her other hand against the gash on his head, the alphess bit back a sob and clenched her jaw shut. If they killed him... A growl rumbled deep in her chest as she blinked down at the bleeding man, her Jake. He was... Was he dying? Angirly, the Lycan queen threw her head back and howled; screaming at the sky.
Larkin smirked and lifted his blade to parry the deadly arms of his foe, all the while seeming un-concerned. In a very condesending manner he shrugged. "You should hope to be lucky enough to escape alive!" He sneered while thrusting his blade foreward, attempting to maim, or kill the shifter. To him, this was amusement. Fighting with Lemartes was a good way to pass the time-- it seemed as if every battle they had, the shifter got better. Yet the angrier he got, it seemed that he got clumsier....
Alura blinked down at the fleeing drows. Had she heard the young one right? Did she say... Dead? In her eyes, the world ceased moving. Just as she thought things couldn't get any worse, Syrenia's howl erupted from the chapel. Jake was hurt. Anger contorted her senses, blood roared in her ears. Releasing a battle cry, the woman transformed in mid air, to her human form, landing a metre or so from Allicia. She didn't say anything; yet the fierce blaze of rage in her eyes screamed. All the things she couldn't even fathom saying. Throwing her head back, the shiftress changed into a massive grizzly bear, her clawed paws out streached. If the drow's child was right; If they had killed Nikkie; SHe would slaughter them. Each and everyone of them. Just as she came close enough to strike, she transformed into a human, and un-sheathed her sword, swinging it at Allicia's face.
