Coming Full Circle

[Kaieka]

I sit on the couch thinking after Bassarov leaves. I felt as if he was going to kiss me again. His kisses are so sweet, so full of passion. I close my eyes and think about this man, Bassarov. Suddenly, a thought springs to my mind. I remember Bassarov and I, our bodies entwined in the process of making love. I see us sitting together, holding hands, watching a sunset of tangerine orange. I sit up and open my eyes. My memories are incomplete, but they are returning. I feel a warmth rushing over me as I see those memories replayed once more.

I love Bassarov!

The intensity and urgency of this thought pounds it's reality into my head.

I love Bassarov!

I feel an amazing desire for him, to be near him. I want to tell him that my memories are returning. To let him know that I feel for him what he feels for me. I stand up, elated at the thought, still warm from the thoughts of my passionate encounter with the dark, sinewy man.

I walk to his room and open the door...



**************

There in bed is Bassarov, his body is lean and beautiful, just as in my newly found memory... but next to him is someone that was not a part of that experience. Mischa lays next to him, they are naked in eachother's arms, it is not hard to guess how they came to be that way.

An anger burns within me, replacing the elation of the newly remembered times. I am overcome. Before I know what I am doing, I am upon the two sleeping men. I scream a terrible, blood curtling scream that causes them to become paralized. Now awake, they are unable to move, their eyes open and watching me.

He loved me... He said.. he loved me...

I remember. I remember him holding me, kissing me, making love to me, telling me... telling me lies. These memories flooding to me in the wake of this visual onslaught.

I grab Bassarov and jerk him to his feet, his naked body standing limp in my grasp. His eyes delve deep into mine, shocked and pleading. I silence them! I stab my long nails into his ribs. I remember a similar situation long ago. I smile, a bitter, evil smile.

My fangs sink into his neck and blood runs down my throat. I cannot even enjoy the vintage taste in my fury. I drink until he is almost drained and then cast his body to the floor.

I scream once more, my arms spread wide. Blood running down my chin and the front of my bodice.

The windows burst open, and in fly thousands of bats. My minions. I summon them and they fill the room with a darkness. Mischa's eyes are wide and afraid as the bats cover him. They drain his energy as each flying fiend touches him. Little by little he is sapped until he is on the edge of death.

I have seen enough. I am through with revolutionaries. Let them lie here and die!

I jump out the window and dissappear into mist. Full of anger and bitterness I leave the two men to their deaths. I travel far before I reapparate.

A woman scorned is a terrible thing!

[Kisa Higurashi]

After Kaika entered Bass's room, I heard a scream. It paralyzed me a little, but I got over it. I ran into the room. Bass was naked and on the ground, bleeding. Another man was also in the nude and was lying on the bed. The window was open and some bats flew out. I kneeled down next to Bass. Oh no...oh no... I murmured as I started to heal Bass with my energy.

[Omadon]

Stone grinds against stone, the rough sound shaking the still night. The cloaked thing comes from the now open crypt, into the forgotten graveyard.

It draws a slow, rattling breath and looks around, everything seeming to move slower then normal around it. Even the air slows itself down.

It is suprised at what it sees. A woman, a woman using magic. He can taste her warmth, her blood, her life, her soul, even from here. The magic is weak but sturring.

Slowly it moves towards the woman, no sound coming from it. The woman feels something behind her, a icy feeling down her spine, a chill in the air but she hears nothing.

The figure stops, a few feet behind her, waiting.

[Leonine]

Leonine hears some loud noises from Bassarov's room. So he follows behind Kisa. He hears Kisa scream. "Either there is an emmergency or some really nasty stuff goin' on in there." Leonine opens the door and sees his brother and his lover, Mischa naked and nearly dead. Kisa is healing them. "Uh..yeah, I wanted to see that." Leonine covers them up, they start to come to.
"Thanks for healing them!" Everyone looks at the naked men with puzzled looks. "Yeah, so my brother is gayer than Ganymede, got a problem with it." Leonine calls him gay, even when he is not. He does it to anger Valodya.

[Kisa Higurashi]

I can heal, I said, following Bass's brother out of the room. I sit in front of Bass's body and started healing him again.

[Jareth]

Jareth feels the hairs on the back of her neck prickle. "How ironic it feels like someone has just walked over my grave." She says with a laugh. With that she stands up lets out a long sigh. "How cliche to be scared in a cemetary" she turned with a smile on her face which quickly went to that of shock. She about jumped out of her skin at the sight of what had been behind her. "wh..whho...aar..arrree...you?"

[Leonine]

"Thanks, little lady. You heal up my brother's scrawny body..it shouldnt take too much energy." Leonine smiles. He places his hand on her shoulder. "You are pretty helpful, saving my brother and all. How about I take you out for dinner."

[Kisa Higurashi]

My face turned a deep red. I don't know...

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov feels weak and somewhat embarrassed. He hears his brother's voice. -No, anyone but him.-

"I am fine, thankyou Kisa..."

Bassarov looks at his brother. Maybe this is a nightmare.

"I am not gay..."

Bassarov closes his eyes again.

"And Kisa...don't go out to dinner with him..."

[Omadon]

The figure watches the girl raise and jump with suprise. Emotions did that to people.

It draws a slow breath again, the air rattling in it's throat. When it speaks it's voice is dry and light, like a whisper from a throat that has not felt the drink of water in countless ages.

"I am called..." it inhales again, another rattling breath, "Omadon." It's hood shifts slightly as it looks the girl up and down, "And..." another breath, "You are?"

[Kisa Higurashi]

My face turned even redder. Umm...I guess I'll heal the other guy now... I said quietly, trying to change the subject. I moved to the other man. I started to heal him as well and felt myself getting weak as more energy was drained from me.

[Jareth]

This apparition this Omadon seemed to be as old as these graves around them. She was scared s'hitless but couldn't move. When he spoke it sounded as if he had been without water for days, or years.

"i'm....jjja..jjarreth" she swallowed hard. "wwwhh...wwwhhhaat...ccaann...iii. dddo...ffoor...yyoou?"

He knees were knocking this specter of a man scared her so bad. She just wanted to run. What did he want from her?

[Leonine]

Leonine goes to Bassarov's room and grabs some clothes for him. Bassarov is still weak, so he puts them on for him. He may act like an a'ss but he really does care about him. "So how is my f-ag brother doing? Good to see you again." Bassarov is still out of it. Leonine sits on the couch and watches Kisa heal the other man. "I'm working up a sweat just watching you, sugar pie."

[Kaieka]

I travel on and on, knowing where my destination lies.

Finally, I arrive. The black Obsidion-like building towering before me. It's presence is familiar. I push guards out of my way and rush up the stairs, my anger fueling my energy. I fling open Kith's doors and they bang noisily against the walls as I do. My face and dress are still stained dark with dried blood. But I know that Kith has seen it all before, he will not care about looks, and I certainly do not care now.

"Kith! Send me out to kill Red Infinity's enemies! Give me any mission and I will go. I long to crush rebels and revolutionaries. I will spill their blood on the streets and make their children weep! If you do not direct me, I will be overcome with bloodlust and attack whomever I meet in the streets."

[Omadon]

Omadon draws another breath, "Take me to..." inhales, "The nearest mage. I need..." inhales, "To speak with him." The figure moves forward another few feet, "Now!"
