another down for the count (open!)

[Rose Vakre]

The ground was covered in snow, the pure snowflakes having fallen perfectly on the ground. The forest was quiet. Was. If you had been standing in the forest that very moment, you'd hear the plenty screams of a teenaged girl and the laughter of another. The ground almost shook with the pain and screams casted by the red-headed girl.

The brunette, however, hovered above the girl, her favorite kitchen knife in her blood stained hand. She looked at the girl underneath her, a pained look at on the red-head's face. It made Rose feel all happy on the inside and she moaned as the girl gave out one last scream for help before Rose stabbed her one last time, in the throat.

She looked around her, the pure snow having been stained red. Hm, that was a very, very fun kill, but how to cover it? A few ideas popped in her head but only one stuck. She grabbed the victim's knife that she had tossed to the side a while ago before the fun had started. Rose began to deform her own skin with the knife, enjoying every bit of the pain, strangly enough. Why be a suspect when you could be a victim?

It would be simple, really. Just say the girl attacked her and then she fought back. Sure, a few would be skeptical, but who would seriously accuse someone that they thought she was. Plus looking disformed and mangled would add to the thing. Why would she cut herself, they would think, that is,if they ever even got to that point.

After a few minutes of fast, deep cuts, she looked practically broken. The cuts where on her face, but mainly around her chest, cutting through her long pink shirt. But she had also stabbed her leg, cutting through her leather pants. However there was blood everywhere, though not all of it was from her. She stood up on her boot-clad feet, feeling the pain in her legs from the self inflicted wounds only to randomly slip on a path of ice. She looked down and saw that her self inflicted wounds weren't the only ones. There were many scratched on her face and arms and neck, but those hadn't done much harm.

She stood back up and began to limp off, using the trees for support, the fake tears forming in her eyes in case people were coming because of the sound of the red head's screams.

Chibi for the most part had been laying in a hole dug out in the snow. Since he was pure white it gave him cover from being seen as well as also created a relaxing place to take a nap. For several hours he rested and slept like a little baby. Well that was until he herd something off in the distance, it sounded like a stick snapping or maybe a branch falling. So quickly he jerked his head up and looked up through the snow which was covering him. His eyes swept the area quickly until he found what he was looking for a small deer had walked just a few feet from him. With the sound of a rumble in his stomach he lept up out of his hole and in a flash he made his way through the snow and took down the small creature. He ate slowly leaving only fur and bone laying in the snow and some blood, then walked away.

As he walked through the snow at times having to hop in order to make it through some of the large piles he perked his ears as he caught sound of a rather loud scream from the far north. tilting his head up he sniffed at the air and caught the smell of blood and human. His eyes widened and turned a crimson red matching the blood left in the snow of his last meal. Taking off at full speed he moved across the snow leaving no imprints of his paws. Luckily for him since he could not fly he could run faster then most humans eyes could focus on. Climbing a tree he lept from branch to branch quickly making his way towards the noises and smell.

It took him only a few seconds to reach his destination. Standing on a small branch above a girl covered in blood he looked around and saw the body of another then lept down and slowly followed the other girl, who seemed to be bleeding rather bad which was also what was keeping Chibi's attention, the smell making him even more hungry. After a short time of following her he stopped and sat down, letting her continue before deciding to continue on again. Walking once again he made his way through the snow until his foot found a branch in which case made a loud snap sound, dropping down flat he buried himself as much as he could into the snow. His eyes though still red and making himself more noticeable then if they where blue.

Rose managed to travel a few meters from the dead body, walking in the direction of Månen, but she wasn't going quiet as fast as she wanted to. She looked down at her legs. Maybe she shouldn't have cut them that much, but it would all work out eventually. She just had to be a bit more patient, though it wasn't a gift she currently had.

Snap!

Rose felt her muscles tighten at the sound of the noise- a snapping branch? Painfully, she turned around only to see a dragon. Aw, it was so cute with its red eyes and small body. She smiled warmly, thinking once again of riding dragons. Then, when she looked back at it, she realized it was too small for her to ride on. She sighed inwardly as she took a concentrated step forward, the cuts stinging, burning and freezing all at the same time.

"O-oh, aren't you c-cute?" she asked it, the stutters not faked, but from the cold. Ripped clothing didn't do anything to help, either. She looked at it a bit closer, seeingblood around its mouth. Hm, had it killed something. If so, that would be wonderful. Just as she imagined them to be. However, the Berks had tamed them, something she didn't appricate very well. Why not have a killer pet? It wouldn't just be fun; it'd be a challange.

Remembering her blood soaked clothes, she took a step back, still looking it in the eye. "H-how's life treating 'ya?" Rose asked, as if she was talking to a regular human being and not an animal, though she found animals to be less judgmental than humans could be. Another reason why she liked dragons.

[chibi]

Chibi stared at the girl his red eyes fixated on her, he was confused by her reaction. his ears perked up as she spoke to him. Although he could not talk with her he understood what she was saying in some ways. But was still uneasy. slinking back into the snow he kept his eyes locked and tried not to act nervous. He was still not used to humans but was rather interested in them all at the same time. Laying down he placed his head on his paws and looked up at her his eyes shfting from red to blue as he did. Showing his means for not wanting to cause her any harm.

When she spoke again and backed up he sat up straight and pushed up onto all fours. his tail swaying back and forth slowly as he walked towards her. His wings folding around himself and his fur dripping a little from the snow. Making his way up to her he sat down and looked her over. His eyes never leaving hers. He was not feeling threatened by her and saw no reason to try to hide. So his next bet was to see how she was. It would also let him understand her kind a little better.

Laying down in the snow he placed both front paws infront of him, claws out as his head rested on them and he let out a soft playful growl. He could not talk to her but he could at least let her know he was not going to make an attack. Which he figured was the smart thing to do.

[Rose Vakre]

Rose studied its eyes as they changed color. Curiouser and curiouser. Dragons were truly remarkable creatures. She smiled as it walked towards her and gave her a playful growl. Aw, this onejust kept getting cuter and cuter! She kneeled down infront of it and reached out her bloodied hand to pet his head.

"I would p-play w-with you b-but..." she said, her voice trailing off as she looked at herself. Bloodied andcut to the point of pain, even while she was numbed from the cold and just sitting here. She stroked his head a few times before wrapping her arms around her body, shivering. Why couldn't this island be warmer? Even if she did like pain, the cold was just plain annoying and she wished it to be away. Too bad wishing didn't do anything.

[chibi]

Chibi listened to the girls words and watched her actions, he could tell she was cold just by watching her body. Sitting up he unfolded his wings from around his body and moved a little closer to her and wrapped them around her and snuggled up against her. Letting his fur give her some more warmth. Of course since he was covered in fur and not scales he was much warmer then other dragons and he hoped this would help her warm up. He couldn't think of any other way to help her since he could not make fire or anything for her. shutting his eyes he opened his mouth slighly and breather out with a soft sigh.Then opened his eyes and let ice form around his muzzle for a moment before blowing out much like dragon did to make fire but instead of fire ice came out forming a thick wall of ice next to him and her to block the wind.

The wall formed quickly as he used part of the tree to brace it and kept going until their was a thick wall around them of pure ice blocking all wind. When he finished he laid his head back down against her and shut his eyes. Not sure of what else he could do except get her back to where ever it was she lived before she bled out or froze to death.

[Rose Vakre]

Rose watched as the dragon neared her, wrapping it wings around her. At first, she though the dragon would be colder than herself, but was the oppisite, in fact. He was quiet warm, and kind for letting her use him. She closed her eyes and took in a gental breath of the freezing air. After a moment or two of sitting there, she opened her left eye to see a solid wall of ice.

Hm, a smart dragon, she thought to herself as she dug her finger's through his fur, trying to warm them up. Just then she realized she had been painting his white fur with the blood from the self inflicted wounds. She gave it a moments thought before shrugging it off. He was warm and she was cold and he had been the one to offer his body warmth, anyways.

Once again, she closed her eyes but let herself fall asleep, her mind only thinking about the dragon's warmth. she didn't know how long she had slept or if anything happened around in the forest seeing as her body wanted rest. Killing and cutting in the cold was horribly tiring even for someone like her. Hey, she wasn't weak, she was strong. She just faked being so weak all the time. But, then, she woke up, like all must do.

She struggled to keep her eyes open, trying to wake up completely. She let her face rub up against the dragon's fur. "T-thanks," she mummbled, wanting to get more sleep, but she couldn't stay here forever and she knew that well, but that didn't mean she couldn't wish for someone to come along and find her so she wouldn't have to walk home.

[chibi]

Chibi laid still by her side as she rested, never budging or moving a single muscle. He understood she was wounded, tired, sore and above all else cold. So he was doing all he could to keep her warm. Although with his current size that was not easy. He could change size but liked being small, and once he allowed for the growth he would simply change fully and would be to the point of a normal sized dragon. Which he was not overly keen on. Although he did not want to see this girl die either. His eyes scanned her slowly as she rested and he held her close to his body using his wings. Of course basically it was like having a fur coat on but still the coldness from the air around them was still far to cold and with her body in its condition she was freezing at a advanced pace.

When she awoke he looked her over again and still did not budge since she was still sleepy looking. He had to figure a way out to get her home, maybe he could carry her back to her village? No that would not work plus it would endanger himself which was something he could not do. As it was he was already putting himself into a load of danger as it was. So all he could do was sit and do what he was already doing until she decided to get up and return home that was if she was not lost.

After a hour or so he stepped back away and stretched out. His body was stiff from being so still and he looked around. Not sure where the girls village was he decided to see if he could maybe find something a little warmer for her. With a loud cracking sound he rammed his skull against the shield of ice he had created and waited as it shattered from the impact. Once that was out of his way he took off at full speed. He had remembered the meal he had consumed and how warm its blood had been in his mouth. With that he hunted through the snow, making no sound as he lept from tree to tree in search of prey. Once he found a small deer he dropped down on it attacking its throat first thing easily taking it down.

Of course even with the slight hunger he had he had a better idea. With such a fresh kill the blood would be warm as well as it would give her something to eat. Using his mouth he latched onto the side of the dear and took off. Of course now the actual size of just hob big this dragon was is coming clear. He may be small compared to a normal sized dragon he was still much bigger then most other animals in this forest. And far quicker. And at this time was thinking about actually allowing for his transformation to take over after all he was getting old and should have changed years ago.

After a short time he reached where Rose was and dragged the still warm deer next to her and dropped it down by her feet and nudged it closer to her with his nose. Waiting to see if she would take it he sat down and watched.
