Tales of a Journey (Private!)

Audri quickly put down the doll and needle so she can steady herself without poking her fingers and pulled her hands into her lap.

"Xenlo... wanted me to do this just in case I did never came back. But I was too scared to even think of killing myself like that, but Xenlo did warn me that if I didn't try to, I could be the one left alone in the end," Audri said as she looked back at the doll that had a green glow bouncing off of it from Sorbet's light curing Lizabeth's body.

"Left alone in the end?" Riri asked as Audri nodded not even facing them, "He... Justis told Xenlo about how Altessa was going off killing people around her. Xenlo wanted to get me away from people as far as we could so I wouldn't hurt anyone. Xenlo was scared that if I did get out of control, I wouldn't end up killing any of you and end up being another Altessa case. No friends, no family, just... left with myself and insanity, well until I kill myself that is because of that damn Angelic Guilt."

"I... think I understand, but I'm not entirely sure," Riri muttered scratching her head as Audri picked up the doll and needle again so she can resume her work without shaking and accidentally poking her finger.

 

"Well... As much as our relationship half of this conversation, I really don't know about the danger situation." Audri said as she tied up the second stitches on the doll as she went back to her sack to get some more thread.

"What do you mean, you don't know?" Riri asked a little concerned as Audri let out a deep sigh, "It's sbout my family, and how they might get themselves involved."
"You have to be kidding Audri, I mean... What could Andre, or Xenlo, or anybody that you know that could tear your relationship from Kinta to shreds?" Riri asked a little annoyed with what Audri was spewing from her mouth as the blonde girl threaded the needle one last time.

"Well, I figured that I have to tell you guys one day, so I guess today is my unlucky day," Audri said in a tired tone as she started sewing where Lizabeth's chest was on the doll in her hands.

"Tell us? Like what exactly?" Riri asked cocking her head to the side as the blonde glanced back at them, "Well, I'll give you the short version since I'm not in the mood for long details. When I was little, when my parents were still alive and Andre was happy as a clam, there was these human kids that always picked on Andre because of his demon blood. It made me upset since I was friends with these kids, but they didn't know that I wasn't entirely human myself.

"One day, I was playing with these kids and they asked me right out if I was a angel. Strangely, I just told them the truth at the time. They seemed really excited but... something was off at them from what I was able to sense that day," Audri said as she stopped her needle work for a moment as she adjusted how she was sitting to get comfortable.

"Not to be rude, but where's the short version to this all?" Riri asked as Audri scratched the back of her head laughing, "Oh, I'm sorry! Got too into the moment for this story. Anyways, those kids had shot me through the chest with an arrow, shattered every bone in my wings and nailed them to a tree for me to suffer and die in pain. Andre found me bleeding to death and that's pretty much why he has a terrible hatred for humans. Any questions?"

 

"Nah, my brothers hate the Noahs after there was some type of bounty put on my family's heads because Xenlo and Justis were 'traitors'. Somehow Xenlo got it all figured out, but my brother really knows how to keep a grudge." Audri sighed as she put a few stiches in as Riri sweatdropped, "Does Rhode and Tyki know about this whole bounty thing?"

"They're not stupid. Of course they knew, they're the type that play with their victims before they try to strike. But back to the fact with Andre's opinion, I try to care but it's really hard since we have some bad blood between us. After our mother died, we just started to... I guess drift apart and became strangers to each other," Audri said looking down at the doll on her hands as she looked up at the ceiling.

"So, what are you doing to do with Andre?" Riri asked as the blonde girl took a few deep breaths in as she started to sew again, "Tell him how I really feel. It's just... even though he have our bitter ends, we still are brother and sister. We just have to take a step back, find some common ground and maybe I... can think of some way for him to let me date Kinta."

"What makes you so sure?" The fox girl asked as Audri looked back down at her lap, "I'm not so sure on this, but I'm willing to try, even if it does lead to me and Andre getting in another fight."

 

Riri let out a sigh as she noticed Audri's body seem to tense up after Ranma said that Kinta and her needed to talk. She scooted over at pat the blonde on the shoulder trying to smile at her, "Calm down blondie. Everything is going to be alright."

"Yes, because you're not the one dating someone who can kill you in a matter of seconds when he's not magic crazy," Audri hissed as she finished the last of the stitches on the Lizabeth doll as Riri sweatdrops, "I'm being blackmailed by his brother. And besides, the moogles said that they hopefully blocked his powerful temporarily."

"I hope you're right," Audri muttered as she put the sewing supplies away as she got up to her feet with the Lizabeth doll in hand.
"Can you give me a moment before we speak Kinta? I have to make sure that Lizabeth is patched up first," Audri said with a smile on her face as she looked back at her silver-haired boyfriend.

 

"Yeah, also the fact that you kinda went a little crazy on Audri's ass just a little while ago," Riri muttered to herself as Audri whined, "Can't everyone just shut up for a moment?"
"Fine, sorry, do whatever you have to do," Riri said with a grin on her face as Audri scowled at her fox friend.

Audri let out a deep breath as she brought her hand up onto Lizabeth's drooped head and held the doll firmly in her other one. She started muttering something to herself as the doll started to glow a white mist and was absorbed into Audri's skin. The mist then reappeared onto her other hand that was touching Lizabeth's head and the heartless girl's body was absorbing the white mist.
"What..." Riri started to say before the mist completely disappeared and Audri pulled her hand away from the blonde heartless girl's head. "Well, that should do it for now," Audri said with a sigh as she pulled her white feathers away from the doll and Lizabeth's neck.

"Ugh, who hit me with a shit load of anesthetic?" Lizabeth groaned as she came to a few minutes later. "Sorry, but you're probably going to be in pain for a little while longer because of the stitches I just did," Audri said as the girl bend over holding her stomach, "gah, son of a bitch this hurts!"

OOC: not a problem since I've been barely on to check on updates. Been helping my friend beat FFVII that last few days... My brain is rotting from the walkthroughs online @.@

 

"Well, I wouldn't say that it's bloodline related, but it's a pretty illegal manauvour I can say at the least," Audri said scratching her cheek as she put the Lizabeth doll away.

"Illegal? Why would that be?" Riri asked as Audri glanced over at Lizabeth, "Well, it's more like a black market doctor procedure so that those who are involved into dirty dealings don't have to go an actual healer to fix them up. As long as a person has the capacity to learn how to sew and the actual spells that go with it, anyone can pretty much do it."
"Now I'm scared that my organs will fail," Lizabeth said as she touched her stomach as she sat back up.

Audri turned her attention to Sorbet smiling weakly, "I'd teach you if you want me to, but you have to make sure that you don't get in trouble with flaunting this about!"

 

"That's what I thought. You moogles should all stick to your own spells because what some people make with spells and charms these days are becoming a tad more deadlier than usual," Audri said winking at Sorbet before she sprang back to her feet.

"You are insane Audri," Lizabeth commented as Audri flashed a grin, "And yet you still love hanging around." Lizabeth shut up after that as Audri trotted over to where Kinta was and grabbed his hands smiling.

"You wanna go sit outside and talk now or do you want to go do something else first?" Audri asked her silver-haired boyfriend trying to be as calm as possible so she knows that she'll be able to talk with him and tell her everything that he needs to know.

OOC: I know! I think that you are going to love it! After a year since the original pages I had sketched out, they still turned out amazing! Also the fact that I took my time with fixing up the edges where the tones are all... 'static' looking.

 

"I don't know about you, but I haven't had anything decent to eat since my injuries. See you suckers!" Lizabeth flashed a grin at the moogles as she took her leave after Ranma.
"But what about me??" Riri asked particularly no one as she was left behind.
"Ah, well.. Guess I can take a nap or two," She grumbled as she transformed back into a fox and curled herself up into a ball.

~~~~~~~~~

Audri smiled faintly as she held Kinta's hand as she walked over to the edge of the water in the cavern.
"I think... I really owe you an explanation and an apology with what's been happening these last few days now that we're done with this whole... Altessa and Devil's Plague business behinds us, right?" Audri said trying to pull a smile onto her tired face as she looked up at the silver-haired man whom she has grown to love after all this time.

 

"Finally, now for some peace and quiet," Riri said with a smile as she shifted her head and fell to sleep.

~~

"So, what shall we go eat first my dear lad?" Lizabeth asked Ranma as she tagged behind him with a smirk on her face, "Something sweet, something bitter, something salty, or something smelly?"

~~~~~~

"It really isn't that traumatic with you guys possibly screwing up my past, I've had worse done to be back at the Organization!" Audri said trying to make a joke out of this as she loosely held his hand.
Audri didn't know where to start, but she knew there was one thing she wanted to deal with right now before the moment slipped - her relationship with Kinta.
"Well, I guess I should start with asking one thing. Do you remember anything of what I was talking with you about back at the Castle That Never Was?" Audri asked Kinta as she slipped away from his fingers so she can sit herself down and dip her feet into the cavern water.

OOC: If time works well with me, I might be ready in a few weeks! Not sure when exactly though. Probably before I start classes on the 23 of August or so..

 

"Hm, I'm feeling a tad peckish, but I'm a little picky in what I choose to eat, if you know what I mean," Lizabeth said with a devious grin on her face as she noticed the robot girl plop down at a chair at the table.

"Hello Neli, I'm sorry we left you behind. I guess Riri and Monty forgot about you two," Lizabeth said a little embarrassed and not sure what to say for leaving the poor robot behind as she snatched Ranma's menu scanning down the list of available items, "Damn, I was really hoping that there would be fish here. Oh well, guess I'll just stick with some pasta at the least."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, it's ok then. I guess it's better that way since I can completely explain on why we had to knock you out," Audri said scratching the back of her head as she lied back down on her back to find herself looking at the ceiling.

"Well, there was something I had to do when I was at Olympus, and I was too afraid to do since I was scared that it would not end well for me," Audri started to speak as she looked more at the ceiling trying to imagine the starry sky above their heads, "I was supposed to break up with you just in case I... never came back."

OOC: Nah, she went off because Audri made her go tag along with Xander, Raux, & Andre in Traverse Town somewhere, they'll probably pop up in the next post or two.
