Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

Penelope rolled her eyes at Crow in a very uncaring way as he complained about the chain. "Be grateful I even let you come with me." she grumbled. "I dunno." she began to answer him but not before shooting a glare his way as he referred to her as m'lady again. She let out a soft sigh and began to travel down the hallway at a rather slow pace. She felt no reason to rush anywhere, not even with the fact she was stuck with Crow.

"I just wanted to step outside for bit, I guess." she said in a calm tone as she looked ahead as they walked. There was a small paused before she asked, "Did you have some place in mind that you want to go to?" Penelope quickly shot him a cold look before he could reply. "Within reason of course." If she could prevent some sarcastic or otherwise teasing reply from him then she would.

It was strange but Penelope was slowly coming to accept his company perhaps even enjoy it though she wouldn't allow herself to admit it. He definitely made the mission more interesting as well as more difficult.

Penelope eyed him coldly. It seemed wise to just leave him where he was. It would be a lot more peaceful that way too. But just like him, she found it could be a good opportunity for her own plan to trick him. With a reluctant sigh, she gave a curt nod. "Fine." she hissed under her breath. The knight moved quietly across the room and picked up the key from the table.

She walked back up to Crow and unlocked the chain with the key. However, he didn't get a chance to be free from the metal cuff. Penelope swiftly closed it on his wrist again before he could pull away and took the other end which had been attached to the bed and locked it on her own wrist. She gave a very stern look. "It's much too early in the morning for me to be worrying about if you're going to take off or not." she mumbled to justify her actions.

She silently put away the key in the pocket of her pants. At least this way she didn't have to lug around her sword or armor quite yet. Though, if she did need something to protect herself, there was always the dagger she kept hidden in her right boot.

"Come on.." Penelope said. It was about then that she realized how close the chain forced them to be. It was an uncomfortable feeling but she didn't let this show and instead focused her gaze forward as she headed towards the door to leave.

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Taldo." She said as she accepted his hand and stood up to her feet with his aid. "I'm Leah. Leah Rivers." She spoke her name freely for most people only knew her as 'water phoenix','water bird', and other such names. The only people who knew of her true name were the dreaded mages.

"I wouldn't mind the walk but I'm afraid I don't quite live in this area. I've traveled here for business reasons." Leah informed him giving a sheepish smile. Though her 'business' would have to wait, which was never a pleasant thing considering she couldn't afford to stay at an inn and was much too paranoid to sleep out in the open as a bird. The chance of being seen by an enemy was much too high for that risk. "Thank you for your kindness, though I think I can manage myself from here. I wouldn't want to be a burden on you anyways." she told him.

I've Turned into A Monster

Eden left the apartment complex walking at a slow pace. She was busy digging through her bag for her phone. Luckily the rain was taking a quick break but the clouds that loomed over head suggested that it would soon begin again and for that reason she kept her umbrella ready at her side.

Eventually she found her phone and began to dial the most likely person to answer which was Carly. The bubbly girl was almost never caught without her phone. Eden just hoped she wasn't too busy. The phone rang twice before a cheerful voice was heard. Eden bit her lip nervously. "Hiiiii!!!" Carly said, already knowing who it was that called. "What's up Eden?"

"Hey Carly." Eden began in a more serious tone of voice that made the other girl become very quiet. After a brief silence, she added, "I just got done visiting Donovan right now.."

"What? Eden are you ok? He didn't actually do anything to you did he? Or was it something he said?" Carly talked quickly sounding panicked. It took Eden by surprise and she stopped walked for a moment.

"No! Of course not! That's why I wanted to call you. I don't understand why you and everyone else is acting like he's some kinda criminal." she said, sounding rather defensive as she spoke of him.

"I'm glad that he was normal around you Eden, but... He's different now, that's why... He's become a lot more angry and violently lately. He nearly knocked Evan out at one point! Evan barely did anything too! He threatened me once too when I went to see him one time." Carly said with a shaky voice. Eden furrowed her eyebrows together. That didn't make sense to her.

"He didn't mention anything about that... He didn't act like that either." Eden argued. She could hear Carly sigh over the phone. "I know you're close to him but you need to be careful... And I'm not lying! Talk to the others they'll tell you the same thing!"

After her conversation with Carly ended, Eden took the time to call up Evan and Jamie too. Each of them spoke of stories similar to Carly's and were slowly beginning to cause Eden to question Donovan and what he had told her. She found herself confused and conflicted. Before long, she had to get ready to go and meet him once again but now she had information to tell him as well as questions to ask.

Penelope turned on her heels as she heard Crow. She hadn't been expecting anyone to bother her and she was still a bit jumpy from the dream. As a natural reflex, her hand went to her side where her sword would normally be attached, of course nothing was there.

Soon she realized it was only Crow. She quickly became less tense and rolled her eyes at the thief. "Don't talk to me as if I'm the prisoner here." she muttered sourly. She made sure to keep her voice low, not wanting to disturb the others. Penelope paused before giving him an actual answer. "I was going to step outside for a bit." she added crossing her arms over her chest.

Her gaze briefly look over at the other two sleeping knights before returning to Crow. "Anyways, just go back to sleep.... There's still a good amount of time before we need to be up." she advised.

Penelope gave a small nod as William mentioned only getting one room. She hadn't been expecting anything more or less. After working and training as a knight for quite a few years now, she had become used to sharing her sleeping quaters. Even if it was with three men.

She walked over to her bed and began to take off the thin layer of armor. It was built to be light and easy to move around in but after wearing it for so long it became a burden and felt much too restricting on her body. She let out a soft sigh, almost one of relief, and stretched, enjoying her freedom from the armor. It left her in a loose fitting, white shirt and dusty brown pants. Penelope proceeded to untie her hair, which had been pulled up tightly until now. She found that keeping her hair out of her face was a critical part of being prepared for work as a knight.

Penelope almost looked like a different person. Her hair now flowed at full length down to her shoulders, lightly framing her face. She overall seemed much more relaxed and had lowered her guard. Without her armor, her body even appeared much more petite and weak, despite the strength she held.

She glanced briefly over at the guys as they made their way to bed. It seemed William had fallen asleep almost as soon as he hit the bed and Abraxas wouldn't take much longer to fall asleep either. Penelope yawned, being reminded of her own drowsiness. She decided not to bother to stay up much longer either and laid down as well. The softness of the bed was comforting and she quickly drifted off.

The sun had yet to rise when Penelope suddenly jolted awake in a cold sweat. Despite being exhausted, it seemed that she was still able to be plagued by nightmares. Now sitting upright in her bed, she swept her gaze over her surrondings, trying to slow her panicked breathing. She quickly came to grips with reality.

It seemed William and Abraxas were still fast asleep. One of them was even snoring rather obnoxiously. The room was otherwise dark and quiet for the time being. She let out a steady breath, the nightmare still hung much too heavily in her mind for her to simply go back to sleep. Penelope slowly slipped off her bed, trying to be silent as she moved. She was headed towards the door. Perhaps some fresh air would help.

Penelope lifted her gaze up as she noticed William approach. Crow's words had went in one ear and out the other as she paid little attention to them when she sighted the other knight. She watched as he naturally took out their disappearance on the thief. This in it's self partly annoyed her. It felt like he was underestimating her to some point.

She gave a small snort as William gave in and took a seat at the table. Despite his act, Penelope knew very well he was just as hungry as they were. Though she did comend him for putting up an act much better than hers in the end.

Once the food appeared, Penelope silently began to eat off the plate as intended. It earned her a strange look from William, who was silently questioning her reasons for eating off the same plate as a thief. The female knight merely waved her hand at him dismissively and he let it go at that.

Penelope paid little attention to them as she took another bite of the food. It wasn't until Crow glanced over at her that she changed her focus onto him. She looked ready to give some cold comment but then decided against it. Instead she grabbed the mug and took a drink.

"Shut up, William or I'll tell the thief about that time you got drunk on a mission." She said in quick defense against herself as she noticed William looking frustrated with her decision to drink.

"Like I care about what he thinks!" William grumbled but looked a tad embarassed.

"Ah but if I tell it loud enough the nobles around us will also hear." Penelope said with a smirk at her comrade.

William sent a glare her way. "You have no respect." he sighed. Penelope gave a small laugh. She appeared rather relaxed at the moment, even going so far as to joke around a little. Penelope wasn't and stiff and tense as she had been before.

Predator of the Flame

Just going to put the plot here for myself mainly. xD

The Plot

Phoenixes. Birds of fire that can be reborn from the ashes. A small kingdom has recently become terrorized by these birds that spread wild fires and wreak havoc upon the land. They've attempted destroying these foul creatures for many years but to no avail as the birds not only could be reborn but were also able to disguise themselves as humans. After much debate and hesitation, the kingdom turned to it's mages for aid and eventually persuaded them to summon forth a creature that could rid the kingdom of its infestation.
It was a bird opposite to the phoenix. A bird of water rather than fire whom could exterminate her fire counter-part for good without the risk of rising from the ashes. She also had the same ability to disguise herself as a human. She became an assassin for the kingdom, killing the phoenixes she discovers. The humans saw her as a hero, the mages saw her as a pawn, and the phoenixes saw her as a vicious killer.
Your character is a phoenix, the very thing my character hunts. He is a solider set by his comrades to try and take down this water bird but in order to do so, he must first find out her weaknesses. Disguising himself as another human, he must first find her which may be some trouble in it's self since no one is really sure what she looks like in human form.
While wandering into a small village within the kingdom, the two enemies come across each other unknowingly. However, instead of fighting, they slowly begin to get along but it's only a matter of time until someones true identity is revealed.

Bump

Predator of the Flame

Leah cringed slightly as she sat down with the stranger's help. "Thank you..." she forced out the words despite herself. Her hands clutched the ground beneath her feeling much more stable sitting down than standing up. "I'll be fine soon enough. This happens every now and then...." she told him sounding a bit breathless.

The pain was subsiding slowly. It seems the mages felt they had put her through enough for the time being. Despite the tie being broken between Leah and the other bird, the fever and aching still stuck around but it was much more bearable now. A small sigh of relief escaped her. The fever would set her back on her work though. It would last at least the rest of the day if not into tomorrow as well.

"I'm ok..." Leah mumbled as she became much less disoriented. Her vision began to clear and she now got a look at the man whom had helped her. "Sorry for troubling you.." she mumbled. Leah's face was still a bright red and she still found her muscles aching when she moved even slightly.
