55 - Learning to Adapt
[EIRA]
She carefully wiped the blood that had trickled down to the sides of his face. The piece of wood had penetrated deep inside Nate's head, knocking him unconscious. She never thought that a spell like the once she had performed could have such harsh consequence. If the wood had pierce his heart instead...
Eira didn't think any further. She had no more tears left to shed. Her heart was beating feebly, she could feel it. She had felt so much in the last few hours that now it left her feeling numb. She felt the emptiness within that ravaged her mind slowly, eating her sanity away. All hopes were crushed and there was no way to go but now.
Nate squirmed as his eyes fluttered open slowly. He blinked and his hand reached up to lightly touch his skull on the area where a while ago there was a hole, fatal enough for a human but apparently harmless to a vampire. It had sealed itself seconds after Eira had pulled the shard out.
She extended an arm and rested h

[EIRA]The witch refused to talk. She tried, but no words left her mouth. So, as Nate explained everything to Bella as nicely and calmly as he could, Eira watched the pair with her lips sealed. The ginger would glance at her ocassionally, her brows furrowed deeply and green eyes filled with warm tears. She wasn't happy with what had happened to her but neither did she complain. Not once. She listened keenly and nodded at each word that left Nate's lips as tear after tear rolled down her cheek silently.It took every ounce of strength within Eira to not break down there, in front of them. But she knew she had to be strong. For Arabella.When the trio stepped out of the mansion, they were enveloped by the darkness of the night but it didn't last much longer. As they ventured towards the Centaurus forest, the cool light emanating from the full moon overhead illuminated their path."I'm scared," Bella confessed, her voice breathy."Do we
After The Night 57 - The Alpha and The Luna
[EIRA]"No!" She screamed as the black wolf bared its fangs at the vampire it had pinned to the ground. One of its huge paws dug into his chest, ripping through the fabric of his shirt to draw out reddish black blood. Nate did not struggle but he turned his head slowly to Eira, his widened eyes asking for help. Bella took off towards the edge, nearing the Lake as she ran. For a moment Eira thought she would jump into the waters but then her feet stilled and she turned. She stood in a defensive stance displaying her own new canines, veins blackened beneath her eyes but the witch did not like that.The wolf sniffed and sniffed and only watched Nate for a while with its glowing yellow eyes, allowing the witch enough time to recover from the shock and throw him into the air with a spell. "Impingo volvo," she muttered and with the wave of her arms, the beast was lifted into the air and crashed into the trunk of a Bloodivy tree. It moaned in pain and rolled over to
After The Night 58 - Saving Nate
[EIRA]For a moment, there was a deafening silence buzzing in her ears. She felt warm tears on her face and watched in horror at the vampire. Then she heard someone call her name from behind.For some reason, she expected to see the black haired vampire. But instead the solemn face of Josh greeted her."Get me some aconite! Quick!" He commanded as soon as his eyes fell on the suffering vampire. The sharpness of his voice gave strength to her weak knees and she ran out in an instant, not sure of where else she would find them and plucked out some still blooming flowers that lined the main entrance to the mansion.Eira returned to the couch and found the warlock on his knees, his eyes closed and lips moving silently in some type of enchantment. She did not wait for his command and with a spell of her own, turned the flowers into a thin paste between her palms and let the drop trickle down into the slashes over Nate's chest. The blood flowing from it dried i
After The Night 59 - A wish
[EIRA]With a snap of her fingers, the ropes keeping Damien bound to the chair vanished before her eyes. His clothes were completely soaked in sweat and Eira still saw the few burns that covered the exposed skin of his arms. The pale moonlight entering past the open windows soaked into his face giving it a dangerous gleam. His hair was a curled mess,concealing parts of his sharp, pale face, including his eyes that were closed. He lay there, so still that for a moment, the witch feared he was dead. She sensed Nate tensing beside her and knew he was thinking the same.When she tugged at the vampire's shoulder, his unconscious body fell off the chair and his face collided against the cold floor. A groan left his parched lips. Eira ignored his helpless state completely, unable to let go of the sore pain in her own chest. Nate instinctively reached forward to lift him up, but when Eira passed him a look, he stilled again."He d
After The Night 60 - A Question of Trust
[EIRA]The night slipped away peacefully for Eira who was wrapped the whole time in Nate's arms. She felt happy and safe in his embrace. When the first rays of sunshine met her face, she woke with a smile. But it did not last there for long. While her sleep was dreamless the previous night, she still intended to tell about her previous ones to Josh.The circle of thirteen witches. All with disfigured faces but one.Eira had doubted once if her dreams meant anything. The warlock that introduced her to all of witchcraft had once mentioned that she may be a seer. That she may have the ability to see things, those which other eyes could not. Things from the past and the future. She did not believe him then, not fully atleast, but the events from the previous night had done enough to grant proof for his words. Her recurring dream of running from a wolf in the red Bloodivy woods of the Centaurus forest beneath a full moon was a vision, a warning of some kind f

After The Night 62 - Tears of Blood
[EIRA]Carena’s voice echoed in her ears and she realised what her words meant; the sapphire gem in Dana’s bracelet was the other part of the Videns viribus. It would fit perfectly in the bone that was possessed by the werewolves, completing the talisman and thus granting them the power to attack. She knew what she had to do and she had to do it fast.However, the scene faded away in front of her eyes before she could do anything. The sun scurried down the horizon and within a blinking the full moon graced the sky. When Eira’s eyes lowered from the sky, she saw that the field was gone and was replaced by the Centaurus forest. The wind blowing swayed the branches of the Bloodivy trees that proudly stood high from the ground, and in the centre of the groove, she found the circle of the thirteen witches. They were holding each other's hands and chanting in unison. Someone’s agonising cries filled the night sky. Eira knew she had no time to waste but she barely had the ability to control
