KALI;; Animal I h a v e Become

The sweet sent of fresh blood lingered in the dark forest. A figure emerged from the shadows, her features swallowed up by the darkness. The moon’s dim light allowed her outline to stand out against the pitch black forest. Red blood dripped from her maw as she ran her tongue over her prolonged fangs, sucking on the fresh blood. A smirk spread across her maw as she stretched her body. A few yards away a helpless body lay sprawled out upon the ground, but he was not dead, just in a deep trance. He would awaken in a few minutes; of course he’d be in unbelievable pain. A puddle of blood lay at his side; his neck was torn open from where she sunk her fangs into his delicious fangs to suck his sweet blood.

She been here before. This place was not new to her. Many memories emerged from the shadows as she walked around. It had been forever since she been here. She felt no pain. She was too numb for that.


The years had flown by, that much she knew. One moment she was a young naïve vampire who believed she knew everything, yet she nothing, the next minute she was a mature vampire who finally found a balance in life. The life she once known, once lived, was now gone. It was far from her grasp, she could never go back, that much was certain. It was alright, she didn’t mind. She learned to accept the fact that her life would never be the same. She made mistakes, she cannot go back in time, if she could, and she wondered what she would change. Would she change her life with Kaige? Would she go back to where she ignored him or would she change it where perhaps today they still would be together? The questions hovered in her mind, but she ignored them. She would not answer, for she had none.

Kali Nightsong was obviously a vampire. A blood thirsty vampire who cared for none, or at least knows she doesn’t. I wonder if he is here. Then again why should I care? It had been forever since we seen each other. I shouldn’t care. She had not thought about Kaige for a while, but sometimes those painful memories would overwhelm her, but she could no longer feel pain. All she could feel was the rush from sinking her fangs into a wolf’s veins and drinking their oh so delicious blood. Just the thought of it sent chills down her spine.

Kali size was medium, but don’t take her somewhat small frame for weakness. Her strengths are quite real alright. No one should dare underestimate her. Kali’s tail flickered behind her as she made her way through the safety of the dark forest. Kali loathed the sun was a deep burning passion, she enjoyed the night. Anything to do with the night she loved.

Kali had changed dramatically. She no longer cared. No longer loved. All the past feelings she had for Kaige was sent to the back of her mind and heart. She forced herself not to feel anymore, because it was too hard to face the pain. The pain was just too real. Kali shook her head. For some reason the forest brought back unhappy memories. Memories of the time her and Kaige got back together, the day she gave birth to their pups, and the day her life was ripped away from her.

Forget it. It doesn’t matter. I don’t care. She grinded her teeth together, and kept on moving forward.

EZEKIAL;; sunshine on a cloudy day

A cloak of darkness surrounded him, shadows stretching from one side of the forest to the next, as if this was meant to be the only night during the daytime. His pelt glimmered faintly, an orange glow emitting from around him as he slowly made his way into the forest, unintimidated just because the light around him enabled him to see perfectly clear, and of course his attuned eyesight helped. He could just barely see his twin walked beside him, and that almost assured him of his safety in the depths of the wild and dark forest. So, he saw things differently than others, such as this 'twin' stepping beside him. Maybe it was only a shadow, but maybe it was another spirit after all. His mind wandered, was there really another world just beneath his pawsteps? Could he possibly be the shadow of another wolf in another dimension, whom they both shared the same mind and yet both looked upon each other as simple two-dimensional figures, simply created by the sun, or some other light, to follow each other's footsteps? What an interesting thought, it interested him greatly, for he needed something to think about while walking in the seemingly abandoned forest.

Little did he know, though. There was action all around him, whether he realized it or not. A crow lifted it's charcoal wings in flight, rustling the nearby branches and practically pushing everything to life. With that one motion, everything else responded in it's own way. A dark silhouette emerged from the ground, tail swishing silently behind it as it crept across the undergrowth. And then another, bigger figure swooped from the treetops, a swishing past the branches and trunks as if the creature had known this place in the light. It let out a haunting melody, almost alluring in an evil sort of way. And yet, nothing was over. A twig cracked, a bush rustled, claws scraped the ground, sending vibrations through the earth, like a rumbling heartbeat. This forest almost worked as a huge organism, everything knowing it's place and working with it, all while a lumbering wolf stumbled about, lost completely in his own thoughts. Here he was, all these things working in such a fluid motion, and he was ruining it all.

Suddenly he jolted alive, eyes glowing the color of embers for a moment before they returned to there silver, looking more dim, as if a stormy grey, in the dark. Sure, there was an alternate world just below his feet, his long lost brother was traveling along, going on his own adventure or quest just as he. Their proportions, power of flame, eyes, he was sure, were exactly the same. They followed each other's footsteps like a mirror image and looked just alike, but there journeys could be completely different. Almost like reincarnation... but at the same time. Odd, though truly plausible in his mind. Flames licked off of his tail, responding to the satisfaction of figuring out the problem, on his own, by himself... or maybe with his brother? His eyes brightened at the thought and he let out a throaty, but soft, chuckle. Why did it matter if anyone heard him though, it's not like he would run into anybody out here.

KALI;; Animal I h a v e Become

Kali continued to slide her tongue over her blooded fangs. Even though she had fed only moments ago, her quench for blood had not yet been fulfilled. No matter how much Kali drank blood, this desperate urge pulled at her mind and heart, driving her to the brink of insanity. Kali had to control her undying urge for Blood as she continued through the darken forest. Even if the forest seemed dead, it was quite alive. There was life all around her. Some even suggested there was the dead that wandered through the blacken forest, of course it was all just rumors. That didn’t mean it wasn’t true, did it? Kali wasn’t one to trust rumors, she wasn’t superstitious either, she rather leave the dead where they belong; in the past. A chill ran down her spine as she felt the presence of another in the forest. She paused, twisting her head around, but she didn’t expect to see anyone. Even though wolf’s eyesight was sharp, even more so a vampire, she still couldn’t see that good in the forest.

“Seems like there’s some brave soul wandering in the forest,” she said in a harsh tone a creepy grin pressed against her maw as she turned around, following her vampire instincts to where her pre—to where the wolf was located. Many who have known her, may recall that she had gone insane, but it is not her fault that her thirst for blood makes her act so. If she does not satisfy her need for blood it bugs her. It drives her crazy. Kali pushed the thought aside from her mind, as she maneuvered herself through the thick forest, making sure to watch out for loose roots and limps, threatening to knock her down. It didn’t take too long for her to spot the male from a few distances away. Kali stood in the shadows watching him for several minutes. She was curious to know why he dare come into the forest. She had not seen anyone wander into these parts in a long time, and that just happened to …Kali bit down her tongue to cut off her thoughts. She bit down so hard she felt blood, which caused a shiver to run through her body. Her fangs to seem to enlarge and her eyes went dark. Blood, tasty blood. She thought to herself.

The sensation was quickly over, but Kali still pressed her side against a tree. Her body was still hidden within the shadows and she was far enough away that even she could barely see the male’s figure. “Trying to be brave, boy?” Her voice echoed across the forest, not betraying her whereabouts. “It’s dangerous, in this forest. They say…vampires wander in the night, ready to suck some blood.” Then a cold hearted laugh followed by her words

And then silence. She spoke no more.

Paws still churning on the ground below, claws clicking against the randomly-place rocks around the dark forest. The glow still emitting from his pelt made the whole area light up slightly, the forest just a tad bit more comforting when you could actually see where you were going? Then again, the words 'comforting' and 'pitch black forest with a lot of creepy noises' didn't really go together, did it? Obviously not. Heart skipping a beat when a sudden crackle in the distance sounded, he suddenly realized how deep he was getting into the forest. He had been walking around for awhile, now, (a few months XD) And it would probably be deathly hard to get back. Maybe he should just turn around, before the fear totally engulfed him and he was scrambling around like a pup that lost his mother. And then, as if on que, another voice sounded from around him, and then he was sure his heart had skipped two beats.

Trying to be brave, boy?

Well, now that he thought about it, it would be something to say to be awful proud of, I made it deep into the Jyarie forest at night, confronted my worst fears, all alone, and survived on the way back. He almost felt the pride surging through his veins already, and yet, he had not done the hardest part yet. Gotten back alive. The voice now filled his every thought, a haunting sound, to say the least, that sent frequent chills down his spine. The jagged stripes on his pelt seemed to vibrate (they probably did) as if you were twirling them. It's okay, though, he had that long lost twin now, standing right by his side, see? There was nothing to be afriad of, not when your better half is standing right by you. Except, that little shadow-partner you speak of really isn't very great when it's shivering as much as you are, and there are no words coming out of their mouth.

“It’s dangerous, in this forest. They say…vampires wander in the night, ready to suck some blood.”

The voice came out again, this time Ezekial being prepared enough to try and locate it... but the search was in vain. It might as well have been coming from every which way. Well, he couldn't face the voice, wolf, whatever it was, so he just looked forward, swallowed that fear, and responded bluntly and rather pathetically, really.
"Well, I'd have to say, my blood might burn your tongue and wouldn't be nearly as satisfying as real blood. Yeah, it really wouldn't be smart to be drinking from me."
He shrugged, almost indigniant and casual, and kept his unblinking gaze on the spot in front of him.

KALI;; Animal I h a v e Become

A crackling mocking laugh echoed across the thick forest, bouncing across the trees. She kept hidden within the shadows, but her eyes never left him. She pressed herself closer to the ground, almost as if she was going to attack any moment, however she remained still. A smirk spread across her maw as she watched him. Oh how marvelous, how much she enjoyed this. It reminds her of the good ol’ days when she had no worries at all. When she didn’t have any worries except who was going to be her next victim. Back when things weren’t so darn complicated. She shifted her weight, digging her claws into the soft ground. No, she would become stronger then what she was before. Before she was pathetic, now she will stand with grace and power and prove to them all that Kali Nightsong doesn’t get pushed around.

“How do you know my preference in blood?” She asked in a slick voice, not trying to hide the fact that it was her that was the vampire. She pushed herself up from the ground, but still remained in the darkness. “I have acquired the taste for all blood types, I’m sure yours wouldn’t be any different.” She said running her tongue across her blood stained fangs. She had been sucking more blood then usually. Before she probably only needed to eat a couple of times a week, now she had to sink her teeth into a wolf’s neck at least three times a day. She couldn’t get enough of the sweet blood running down her parch throat, just the thought of it made her excited.

This time she did not remain in the darkness. She finally revealed herself to her prey. The dim light came down and shone upon her pitch black fur, which had red marks across it. Her features were both beautiful, but frightening. Her deep red eyes were narrowed down to slits as she looked at the male, as she began to circle him. “Hmmm, I can sense your blood, and it seems good enough for me,” she spoke as she felt her mouth began to moister. “But I may or may not do anything.” She said with a shrug of her shoulders, turning away from him. Truth be told she wanted to be out of this forest as quickly as she could. She had locked away her memories from herself, and this forest was like the key to unlock the door.

She shook her head, pausing in her step, turning her eyes away for him for a second. Kaige… the name rang through her mind, causing a shiver run down her spine. She still did not feel the pain, she never did, or at least to any extent. She locked it away. She was a vampire. A vampire who should have never fell in love. She should have known that in the end a vampire could never have a happy ending. She was a fool, but no longer. She would no longer walk the path she used to. Back then she was immature and believed she knew everything, how wrong she was. She knew nothing. She took a deep breath as she tilted her head back toward the male, for a minute there was no recognition in her eyes, as if she had forgotten that she had been stalking him.


“Oh, you’re still here.” She said, for some reason her deep craving for blood had vanquished so she really had no need for him to be around. She raised a brow at him. “Or are you possibly lost?” she said with another mocking tone. She knew the Jyarie Forest was a easy place to get lost, but even if she had not been here before, she could easily find her way out. Of course that was because of her vampire instincts, making her senses much better then that of an average wolf. “Well, if you are that just sucks for you.” She said with a shrug of her shoulders, she honestly didn’t care. She didn’t care about anything or anyone. Or at least that is what she tells herself.

This was going to be no time for fear to strike like it had before. No, he wasn't going to just run away. Chances are, he'd fall flat on his face before he got a few tail-lengths ahead. That crackling laught, bouncing off the trees, fell through one ear and out of the other. No, he would not allow it to take over his mind this time. It was kind of... spooky, though, to say the least. Would she speak again? He was almost positive she just wanted to play around with him, tinker with his life and whether he would be keeping it any longer or if he was to just be merely sent away. Then another sound shot through the forest, what he had been waiting for.

“How do you know my preference in blood?”

You know how sometimes you just get this feeling? Well, yeah, it really wasn't that hard to tell she wanted blood, his blood. Probably wanted to drink the life right out of him. Yet, as he said, he did not let fear control him, he was going to act out of, something else. Courage, casuality, pure curiousity, maybe-

“I have acquired the taste for all blood types, I’m sure yours wouldn’t be any different.”

The voice interupted his thoughts, his keen ears seemingly catching it before the words really came of of her mouth. Her mouth. He had honestly expected it to be male, a voice so menacing, but it was female. He didn't really know why, he just, kind of, did. And then it was more than obvious she was female. She stepped out of the darkness, what he had wanted her to do for the what seemed like ages, and he found himself just a tad awe-struck. She was beautiful, but in an oddly scary way. She would have almost blended with the forest had she not had the deep red marks streaking across her fur, and the captivating red eyes. They glowed, just as he, in the dark.

"Hmmm, I can sense your blood, and it seems good enough for me.
But I may or may not do anything.”

So, she had experienced a burning from the inside-out blood? Well, an experienced vampire-wolf she was. Literally, the blood would burn an average wolf, and then to consume it? A nasty death. And yet, she was far from the average wolf. See, his whole body worked in a unique fashion, where the burning does not affect him, but would affect those around them. Nevermind, though, he wouldn't go into the details, he really shouldn't get distracted this time around.

“Oh, you’re still here, or are you possibly lost?”
“Well, if you are that just sucks for you.”

Well, she had finally stopped talking, at least. Giving him a chance to respond inbetween each individual comment. So from the sounds of it she might decide that shewas going to try his blood out, or she might. And sense when was she concerned about him being lost? Was it assurance that he wasn't running away? Or just curiousity? Yeah, he doubted that latter.
"Well, yeah, it kinda' does. But, I mean, I could find my way out."
It was true, he would eventually find his way out of this mess, make it to the sunshine again and possibly get back to normal. But there was one variable that was as unpredictable as he himself. Would he be allowed to go out? Now that was the question.
"Unless, let's just say, I run into any problems..."

[--> S u s a n]

Kali paused in her steps, sitting down on the ground, wrapping her tail around herself, a habit that most of her family had picked up. She dug her sharp claws into the ground, her deep vibrant red eyes never leaving the male, not for a second. She had lived upon his earth for many years now, but she looked rather young, but in fact she was born over 200 years ago. Although the years seemed to fly by before she could blink. She took a deep breath as she thought about back to the beginning when she lived with her parents. She hardly knew her mother, for she died shortly after giving birth to them, and her father was always so distant because he was sad about his dead mate. Just thinking about it made her sick to her stomach. She had weak and pathetic parents, and as for her four sisters, she hated them with a deep passion. It was not a love-hate relationship; no she was not secretly wishing they could be friends. She really wished they were dead.

She twisted her head and looked over at the pathetic male not too far away from where she sat now. She gently pushed herself off the ground, holding her body with much grace, as if she ruled over the forest. “Only if something stops you, eh?” She said with a cold laugh. “I may or may not stop you, depends if I feel like it. Don’t think of me being kind, no, never again.” She turned her attention away from him, looking deep within the forest. She used to live in this forest, several years before, with her mate by her side, but then everything was torn apart and it was all her fault. Something always got in-between them. Whether it was his past lovers Shinrin and Velia or her own sisters, but she blamed herself. No matter what, it came back to how Kali, betrayed Kaige.

“It’s not hard to get out of here.” She said in a low whisper, the darkness within her voice had almost vanished, though there was a hint of bitterness that lingered in her voice. She turned her eyes back toward the male, with no emotion. She was too numb to feel any pain, at least for right now. She took a deep breath. “Just get out of here will ya? I might change my mind and bite you, and often my prey do not survive after I get through with them.” She ran her tongue across her fangs, her voice echoed with the darkness that it held once before. It was like her semi-slight moment of weakness was never there. She could feel the hunger burn within her, but she was no longer in the mood to feed. She twisted her head back over to the male, wondering if he would leave. She honestly didn’t care, there was nothing special about him, there was nothing special about her.

“Damn you,” she whispered, but she did not state whom she was talking too.

[Ash]

EZEKIAL;; sunshine on a cloudy day[/color]

Ezekial cocked his head to the side, was she comtemplating on what she was to say to him, or maybe whether to just kill him quick and right that very moment... one second, nothing happened, another few seconds, nothing happened. He was waiting for that sudden lash, but he was throughly surprised when it never came. Seeing her take a seat, he did so as well, but his muscles tensed inside him. He really couldn't be too careful.

“Only if something stops you, eh?”
“I may or may not stop you, depends if I feel like it. Don’t think of me being kind, no, never again.”

Since when did he say something about her being kind. He almost laughed, he thought of her as everything but kind. Maybe there was some point in her life she was kind, but that was long gone. He also extremely disliked the way she was talking in what seemed like questions. Maybe, maybe not, this could happen, but this could also. It was irritating him down to the core. Could she not get to the point already? Honestly, this toying around with him mind was getting to him. Don't blow up, Ezekial, keep your cool, please. Yeah, he was talking to himself, his mind begging his body to just relax, just a little.

“It’s not hard to get out of here.”

That was true, if he knew anything. Just keep walking in one direction, and eventually you would get out. Everything comes to an end, anyway. Everything comes to an end... his thoughts turned bitter. His family had come to an end, betrayed, that was what he was. His sour thoughts changed the expression on his face and he let his guard down for the slightest moment, maybe a mistake, maybe not. Great, now he was talking like the vampire-wolf over there.

"Just get out of here will ya? I might change my mind and bite you, and often my prey do not survive after I get through with them.”

Telling him to get out of here? Or was it a trap? He couldn't think straight now, his mind clouded with thoughts from the past and present. Nor does mine, he thought, thinking about prey remark and looking at his paws. Yet, he was never really the prey before, always the predator chasing whatever it might be. Rabbit, deer, maybe a small elk... his mouth watered and he realized how the one beside him must be feeling. He got to his paws and began to walk away. Just as he was about to edge his way out of the clearing, he heard another word being muttered."What?

With no emotion in her eyes, Kali watched as he got up to leave. She did not mind. She liked being alone. It was better this way, if she was alone for the rest of her life; it was the way it ought to be in the first lace. She took a deep breath, turning away from him. She wanted to be rid of this forest. She wasn’t even sure what made her come back here. Was their some hope? No. there could be done. Their past was done. Anything she had Kaige had together was gone. Only bitter memories remain of the times they shared together. Oh how she hated his forest. Dug her large claws into the hard ground, grinding her teeth together, narrowing her eyes down to slits. She almost missed his words. Kali tilted her head up and looked at him, an emotionless expression upon her features. He must have heard her speak before, truthfully she wasn’t sure who she was talking about, for their were many she cursed, including herself. She did not answer him for some time; instead she turned her head back away from him. It almost as if she was not going to speak again, until finally she did.

“Why is it so hard to be, evil?” she whispered under her breath, unsure if he had heard her or not, and frankly she wasn’t even really speaking to him. There came a change about her. Softness seemed to cause the anger and hate to lift from her eyes, giving her an almost sad appearance. She was so out of it, she wasn’t even quite sure she was saying. “They have it easy. They don’t have to work at it like me. It comes naturally. They can do it without any remorse without any regret…” she paused biting her tongue as she finally realized what she was saying. She quickly snapped her head over to him and snorted. Half-hoping he had not heard her words. She pushed herself off the ground, her tail flickering behind him. She gave him a hard glare, any softness from moments before had vanished, as if it was never there at all. “What do you want? You’re really fucking pissing me off.” She said, though the one she was angry at was herself.

She turned her body away from him, scanning the forest, as if someone from the past was going to step through and ruin her life. Then again, what more damage could their be? What was left of herself was long gone, by now. She was just a fragment of her former self. She was okay like this though, right? After all she did not deserve a happy ending, a vampire should not fall in love, and she had just proven her point. She would never make that mistake twice. No, for she no longer had a heart, or at least that is what she tries to tell herself. She tries to tell herself that she cannot feel any pain, guilt, or remorse. She did not want to feel it, because that made her closer to being good, and she wanted to be evil. She wanted to go around and cause trouble and just laugh about it weeks later rather then just blankly stare into the darkness. She hated this body. She hated this life. She wondered why she never tried to kill herself. She didn’t think she had the guts or strength to be able to pull it through. Or perhaps she was cursed to life the rest of her life just like this. A punishment for falling in love.

She had almost forgotten that he was there. She had blinked a few times when she realized he was still here. Thought she spoke more. Just stared at him with her deep red eyes.

EZEKIAL;;sunshine on a cloudy day

Ezekial cocked his hed to the side once again. This whole mood-swings thing was really kind of irritating. At one moment, she would just be calm and tell him to go, but then in another she would just blow up and threaten to bite his head off... and she probably would. His hunger clawed at his belly, though; he needed to get something to eat soon. He was sure there was something in the wood that would satisfy him for awhile, hopefully.

“Why is it so hard to be, evil?”

The real question was, what made you evil? Really, if you don't want to be bad, you don't have to be. Sure, she had to kill wolves to eat, but was there some other alternate? Like, he didn't know, other animal blood? Surely that would work just as fine. It honestly didn't matter though, he seriously doubted she'd ever turn to good. That was one challenge she wouldn't be up to. He chuckled ever-so quietly, that wolf being good, yeah right.

“They have it easy. They don’t have to work at it like me. It comes naturally. They can do it without any remorse without any regret…”

Now that was what was confusing him. Was she talking about average wolves in which they don't have to really act bad all the time, therefore living without regret? Or maybe other just bad-to-the-bone wolvest that didn't care about their prey. He sensed something much, much deeper was going through the female's head, probably linking to some event to her past. He could almost hear her thoughts buzzing around in her head. He didn't even hear her next words, just see the anger in her eyes. He did hear the sound, though, and the sound was practically empty, as if she really didn't care about him staying or leaving. His silver gaze met hers and he looked at the depths. He could sense regret, definite, sorrowful regret. What had she done? The thought was nagging at him.
"You know, it's really your choice to be evil. Just because you're a killer doesn't make you bad. You're... you're just using it as an excuse to let out some anger."
Such brave words, but how was she going to react? Tensing his muscles and ready to run, he waited for a response. Was it going to be angry? Probably. Was he hoping it would be angry? Certainly not.

(( That is okay xD ))






“What?” Kali asked as she turned her attention back to him, hearing his words. Did he honestly believe she did not want to be evil? That it was some curse upon her that made her kill for her food. Kali threw her head back and let out a harsh laugh that echoed through the forest. She turned her gaze upon him, her eyes flashed with both amusement and annoyance. “Choice to be evil? I am evil.” She said with a snort, turning her eyes away from him. Even before she was a vampire, she was not kind. She cared none for her sisters even before that time when they were cursed to share the same body. She wasn’t quite sure though, the memories of when she was young were hazy and she couldn’t even recall what her parents looked like. Let alone why she acted like that. As far as she was concerned she was born evil, but becoming a vampire, caused her to grow. She remained silent for a while. Thinking over his words, he did not understand, and she doubted he would. She was not going to pour out all her information to him. She wasn’t that stupid.

“I’m using it as an excuse? What the hell is that? Just because I kill, I’m not evil? That has to be the stupidest think I ever heard.” She said turning her gaze upon him; they never left him, her crimson blood red eyes glaring at him. Truth be told she did not have to kill them. She just ended up ending their life, because she wanted the thrill to last longer. She felt it. It was there, though it did not last long. It died off and left her with an empty-feeling and it would remain with her until she killed again. She wished she was like her sister, even though it killed her to think like that. They killed with no mercy. They killed and kill again without having the emptiness that lingers within Kali’s cold heart. It would never go away, again.

“I was born evil and I remain evil. I love killing, it gives me a wonderful chill just thinking about it.” She said grinding her teeth together. “But I was cursed to wander this earth with a soul. A soul that gives me has feelings that I should not have. Perhaps if you know that, you wouldn’t make such stupid remarks.” There she said it. She had a soul. Perhaps that is the reason why she was able to fall in love with Kaige and then get hurt. Perhaps that was the reason that she hated her sister and other vampires, because they were lucky to not be able to feel like her. She hated it, because if she had no soul then she could never love Kaige and it wouldn’t hurt so much to be without him. Hurt…she missed Kaige. It broke her heart, what she did to him. She still loved him. She didn’t know how she could live without him. He was the only one that accepted her. Damn it. What is this?

She tilted her head as she looked around the forest. The forest where she re-met Kaige and they became mates for the final time, the place where they had their children, as well as the place where Kali betrayed Kaige and ended up causing their relationship to break apart. It was then when she realized it. The Forest had finally gotten the best of her. She tried to hide it so long, but in the end, it won. It would always win, because of her damn soul. She knew the reason that she now accepted the fact that she was in pain.

The forest had unlocked the door.
