Wings of Purity [open]

[Majora]

The coldness, pure coldness. It stung her, the bars were blocking her. Her shoulders where achinging. Her back felt heavier than usual. It hurt, it all hurt. Why was she so stupid? Why didd't she just stay with the pack, this was all her fault, all her fault. The fae should of just went back to the pack after the fight, she should of. But no, she let her mind and body grow weak, and she had to stay. Then she met him. They didn't start out all that well. Then they became love struck, and they snuck out to see each other. Then bam, she got caught.

The fae's eyes flickered open slowly. The pain in her shoulders started to go away. Manarie lifted her head and looked around, all the dogs in cages where either growling, sleeping or going insane. When she tried to stand up, the weight on her back shifted, and she had to know what it was. The femme turned her black, white spotted head. What Manarie saw made her gasp, there where raven wings on her. She was a daemon? She thought it was a dream. But there they where, ravens wings with white specks in some areas.

She collasped in her cage, and a dog barked a laugh at her. She flicked her head over to him, "What?" She said getting up, and walking over to the other side of her cage, where a mutt sat there snickering. "Nothin'. You should of seen the look on your face." The little dog said in a fit of giggles. Manarie frowned, "Well that isn't very nice." Manarie sat down. The little dog snickered again, "You aint to smart either!" He broke into a fit of laughs. Manarie growled, this dog needs to be a little bit nicer. How would he like it if he could fly and not want to? Just as she thought it, the dog gasped as his paws weren't touching the cage anymore, they where in the air. Manarie gasped as well.

Was she doing this? The little mutt didn't seem to know what was going on, so it must be her. Manarie did her best to stop, but ended up throwing him hard on the cage floor. The fae back into the corner, adjusting her wings. Something she was going to have to get use to. What was wrong with her, she was a monster.

Lots of dogs said that history had a way of repeating itself. But for some reason the one place Theo never thought he would go again was the labs. He had already been there twice, wasn’t that enough? Apparently not anymore. There was one place on the entire planet that no dog ever wanted to go to again and that was the labs. The stupid, stinkin’ labs. They were hell and every single dog in Harthorn knew that well enough. However none of them could ever know that as well as Theo. He had been there twice, been tested on twice and then escaped twice. It was really a miracle but he preferred not to dwell on that. He really regretted going back there but he had been sent on a mission. Apparently Benji thought he was a lucky dog so why not just send him there to look for the dog that had been declared missing a few days ago. Even though he didn’t know her in person Ben and Delph had done their best to describe her to him. Hopefully now he would recognise her when he saw her.

The shepherd was under strict orders to get in, have a look around and then get out, all under thirty minutes. It was stretching it a bit because the labs were huge but he knew where to look. He had been there enough times to know that new dogs had their own special room. The white coats tried a little harder when experimenting on first-timers and so they made sure everything was a little bit nicer in their room. However for second-timers it was terrible, they didn’t even bother to put you under any anaesthetic or anything.

Walking up to the south side of the labs he paused and scented the area. He had none of the fae’s scents to go by so it was a little difficult. The Demeron brute had described the way she talked and walked but after a while his words had become too lovey-dovey and so Theo had tuned out. He seriously wished he had actually listened because he really had no idea where to look. He could see the window he had escaped out of on his first trip and so that was a pretty good spot to start.

Half flying half running up to the window he used his newest power to open it up and then he shimmied through quietly. He found himself in the same room he had been in the first time and it was all set up the same way. A large metal desk sat in the middle of the room with various beeping objects on either side. Along the far wall were rows of cages, some on top of the others. He could see all the newest daemons lying around inside the prison cells, moping and wishing they were dead. Grinning he scoffed at the sight. Just like I was, he thought to himself.

Trying to be as quiet as he could the brute folded his wings behind his back and walked over to the row of cages. He spotted her quickly but still wasn’t sure if it was actually her. “That’s different,” he whispered as he saw the raven wings stuck firmly on her back. At the same time he heard a loud thump and looked up to see a brute rubbing his backside and scowling. “Yeah he deserved that.” Turning towards the femme he let a smile grace his maw. “Am I right to assume you are Manarie?” Theo asked winking his bright blue eye at her. It was obvious she didn’t know how to use her powers just yet but it seemed she had the same ones as him. He would teach her how to use them to the Paladins advantage but first they had to get out of there.

Monster, monster, monster. Those where the only thoughts in her head. How could dogs stand these powers, why couldn't she of died instead? Well, why didn't she? Her heart felt heavy, and felt terrible for missing the meeting of the on dog that seemed to understand her, Triell. The brute had kept her fighting for her life as she was dragged away to this hell hole. This was why she didn't kill herself for these wings or strange mind powers. She has heard that one dog in their pack had wings, and mind powers. If only she could remember his name and the name of the power.

Manarie jumped at the sound of a brutes voice. Slowly, she turned around. The fae saw the blue-winged brute, and his black body. Her instincts told her to flare her wings, but she held back. This dog had the scent of Paladin. Her muscles relaxed. They sent someone to get her, but who told them of her disappearnce? Did Triell...god no. He wouldn't have almost got himself in trouble just for her. His love for her was strong, she could tell by the thought of him going his way for her.

The Aussie finally gained the ability to speak back, "Y-y-yes, I am Manarie. Who are you? You smell of Paladin, and I have seen you before, but I don't know you." she said in a rush. The name still not coming to her, this was the worst day ever. "You're here to save me. Who told you I was missing?" The fae rushed again. Manarie started to calm herself down, these where stupid questions, she needed to get out of here before she went insane.

The shepherd brute rolled his eyes as worried comments flowed through the femme’s maw. Nodding slightly he stepped closer to the cage. Hearing a small growl from the cage next to Manarie’s he turned and let out a vicious snarl. The stupid dog cowered backwards and nearly tripped over his own tail. Turning back to Manarie he attempted a small smile but it disappeared quickly. Scenting the air he could smell blood, daemon and human. Almost all of her Paladin scent had disappeared during her time at the labs. She kept asking questions but Theo was more interested in getting her out of the cage.

Realising that she was probably half scared to death he attempted another smile and decided to answer her question. “I’m Theo, the Elite Guard of our pack,” he started in a barely hidden tone of annoyance. “Triell came to us because he didn’t know where you were. Benji’s not too happy but he’ll live. Because we only have one scout I decided I’d help. The stupid femme sent me here because she thought I’d be able to get out, seeing as I’ve escaped alive twice already.” Flashing a proud grin at the femme he drew himself up. “Let’s make this a third time okay?” The last remark was more for himself because he really did not believe he was going to get out of there a third time. It just wasn’t too possible.

Looking at the lock on the cage door he allowed a small smile to grace his maw. “Easy,” he whispered to himself. This lock would be much easier to get open than the ones in the room he had been in last time. The second-timers’ locks where the ones that humans opened by scanning cards. When he had escaped it had been very lucky too. They had found a card lying around and he had used his new found power to open the cage. This lock was a simple key lock and that was even easier. He just had to look inside and move all the little bolt things around then, sure as hell she’d be out. It was simple, unless the white-coats appeared again. They weren’t too nice to the runaways and they preferred to dispose of them quickly. But if luck was on his side again none of the humans would turn up until they were long gone.

She was so worried. It obviously showed from the brutes eyeroll. The scent of Paladin comfort her, but she was aware of her own loss of Paladin scent since the day she came here. Which didn't seem to long ago. But she missed her meeting with Triell. He probably thought she left him for another brute. No other dog has touched her heart like he has.

Finally calming down to an acceptable level, Manarie sighed slightly to relieve her stress. The brute claimed to be of the Elite Guard and was named Theo. She smiled lightly and gave him a respectful nod. "Good to know you are an expert and that Triell didn't get hurt."Manarie said, soon the emotion of irrataion crossed her face. "But hurry up so we can get out of here." Her voice was low and quick. Sounding almost like a hiss in the air.

Little clicks from the lock could be heard as she watched concentration come over his features as he over looked the lock, expecting it to open up just like that. Manarie sat silently as she waited for him to find a way to get her out. Just let the luck be with them, please let the luck be with them. That was her only thought.

A low growl rumbled through the brute’s chest as the femme told him to hurry up. “Why don’t you try doing this?” he barked sarcastically. It seemed as though the femme had the same powers as him but it didn’t look like she was able to control them. He’d have to work on that later. He simply couldn’t let a telekinetic run – or fly – around Harthorn with no control over her power whatsoever. He had been able to master his power quickly but only because he was over the lab freak out that consumed most dogs. It was difficult on your first time to be able to get your head around what had just happened. When Theo had received telekinesis it had been easier because it was his second time. This femme hadn’t been here before and so she was probably freaking out about everything.

Turning his gaze back to the lock he moved closer. Focusing carefully he worked each of the bolts and turns. Moving everything so precisely and in exactly the right way. His eyes made little movements left and right and up and down as they moved everything perfectly. He could hear the little clicks as everything was moved around. Soon enough he heard the final click and the lock opened. Using his power to move the lock silently off the cage he placed it on the floor carefully. Flashing a proud grin up at the femme he swung the door open without even touching it.

Signalling to Manarie he let her know it was safe. “Getting out of this place is harder," he whispered. “They’ve got a constant guard system outside. We have to get out through that window,” he said turning his head in the direction of the window he had come in through. “You’re going to have to fly up to get in there. You think you can do that Manarie?” His voice had hit a softer and kinder tone like the one he usually used around Iris or Delph. He could still hear Iris’s voice in his head, telling him to come home safe. He knew he had to for her. And now he could be sure he would.

She snorted at Theo. Please, she wasn't in the mood or aware of what she could do. For all she knew, she was dangerous enough without some one to help control her powers. Hopefully he was the dog that could do it. She didn't want to hurt anyone she knew or loved. That would be terrible, unless it was that stupid Roran. She would rip him to shred the chance she gets to. After learning about her abilities. For all Manarie knew was that she could fly, and do something else. Please let it be usefull.

She thought the brute looked a little weird when he moved his eyes like that, but she was aware of the movement in the lock, and the thought she would be free and able to see her beloved Triell again gave her enough strength to keep going and stay strong. Just to get out of here made her stronger, and she knew she would make it. She trusted Theo to get the job done, knowing he wouldn't fail that easily.

The door swung open after he had unlocked the lock. Listening to his words, she jumped out and tried to figure out if she was going to crash or not when getting out. Her back still felt heavy, but that was something she would get use to instantly after a few practices with flying. Well, apparently she was going to have to practice now. She looked hiesitant but she tested out flapping her wings. It felt strange but she got a hold of it and nodded. Pushing from the ground after she took a few steps, she felt herself airborne. Manarie stayed calm and continued towards the window. When she reached, she stopped and stood on the small sill that allowed her out.

She looked back at Theo, and jumped out using her wings to make landing easier. She sighed when the ground hit her paws and she waited for Theo, she wasn't going to leave without him.

Grinning as Manarie experimented with her new wings Theo tried hard not to laugh. It was quite funny watching a new daemon try out their new powers and little attachments. Wings weren’t as bad though, it was the dogs with poison you had to watch out for. They were pretty scary when they were testing their powers out. It seemed as though this femme was a natural though. The only powers she seemed to have were the wings and telekinesis, the same as his. Only her wings weren’t much like his. His wings matched his right eye and they were more like demon wings than any other bird he knew about. Also their root system was extremely complicated. It was very hard to work out but luckily he had been listening when the white coats had been talking about it.

The fae managed to get out the window and soon she was out. He hoped she had decided to wait for him though; it would be difficult getting back without him anyway. Just as he was running up to lift himself into the air he heard the unmistakable click of a door. Swinging his head around a growl escaped his chest as he saw the white coat walk in. The man’s expression changed from confused to horrified as he realised the breakout that was happening at that moment. In less than a second the white coat had shot his hand out and pressed the large, red button stuck to the wall. An alarm sounded…

Snarling Theo jumped onto the metal table and shot a glance at the man. He had one of the shocking sticks in his hand and he was running fast. The brute had to act quickly. Shooting a glance around him he noticed almost everything was now stuck down somehow. “Stupid humans,” he cursed as he realised they had found a way to get around the telekinetic dogs. Swearing loudly the shepherd lifted himself into the air. He was nearly at the window when an excruciating pain shot through his back leg. He knew exactly what had happened.

Falling to the ground he writhed in pain as the human came crashing towards him. There was no time. He had to ignore the pain. Jumping up he let the pain feed his adrenalin and anger. A chorus of snarls and growls rumbled through his chest as he showed his ivories in full. Wings beating he tried to lift out of the air. This time he looked at the shock stick and with one thought it was out of the white coat’s hand. “I’m coming girl,” he whispered to himself. Not even he was clear as to whether he was referring to Manarie or Iris, or even Delph. It was probably a mixture of all three but he had no time to decide.

Within five seconds he was on the window sill. The pain was still jabbing at his leg but he ignored it. He would ask Neu if she had anything for that when they got back. And they would get back. Not even bothering to land on the grass the brute hovered near Manarie. “We gotta fly, literally.” He waited for the femme’s response but he knew she would be more than willing to fly out of that place. It was certainly better than being caught again. He could still hear the human’s shouts from all different directions and it was clear they had to get out then. It’s now or never, right?

They were homefree. Finally saftey was just on the verge, they were going to make it without anyone getting harmed. But then the alarms were going off, and Manarie had started to panic. Is Theo going to live? If he died it would be all her fault, there would be nothing she could to save him. Her powers weren't under control, but she stood there waiting and hoping to see the black bodied brute.

Just as she was about to go back in and help as much as she could, and injured looking Theo appeared at her side. He didn't look to good, and hoped he would be able to make it back all right. Manarie held back the fear and tears of fear when he spoke saying they had to fly, and most likely fly fast. The fae hoped that she would be able to make it. That was all they had left in this place, hope. That was what it all took, and luck.

Manarie nodded, "I think I will be able to do that." Her voice had a slight doubt as she did her best to push from the ground with shaking legs and flapped her wings. Everything seemed to go by faster. Soon she was up in the air, and a distance away from the building, she stopped after passing a few trees and hovered. Heisitating on where to go, she looked around for anything familiar that was around her home but she found something.

Then she knew which way to go, and allowed herself to fly there. Hoping that Theo was behind her the whole time. She would only have herself to blame if he got caught by the white coats. Taking a shaky breath she started to slow down when she saw the familiar route to the church below. She landed on the path that led up to it and looked up, searching for blue wings and a black brute. He had to make it, he just had to. He wouldn't let himself get caught. Manarie took another shaky breath before conceling herself in the shadows and she continued searching and looking for the blue winged dog. Her only thought was that he would get back safely with out any problems.

Watching the femme carefully as she took flight Theo decided he had to help her in any way possible. “Watch out boys, Theo’s not giving up just yet,” he barked as he shot after her. Looking down he saw a white coat with another shock stick on hand. This was going to be far too easy. Slowing down a little he focused on the shock stick. As another white coat walked past they both stood in horror as the other shock stick managed to find its way onto the man’s chest. He watched the brute shake furiously and then he just fell to the ground. Looking up the man who was holding the stick screamed and ran away from the winged dog. Shaking his head in disappointment the shepherd continued on his journey.

Manarie was already far ahead of him and he only hoped she knew which way to go. Getting lost in Harthorn was pretty easy if you’d never actually been to the labs before. It was difficult to locate yourself and your destination. Luckily Theo had a very good sense of direction and he had found his way home from the labs twice. However he had only been going to the church one of those times, the other he had no real destination. But now he was going back to the church and he knew exactly how to do that.

Scenting the air he could smell where Manarie had stopped to ponder which way to turn. Luckily for her she was like him, great sense of direction, and she had turned right. Taking a sharp turn he followed her scent. Within a minute he could see her down in the darkness by an alley. Landing he folded his wings onto his sides again. “You know, you are extremely visible from up there,” he whispered, lifting his head to the sky. “However lucky for us the white coats won’t be searching from the skies. We have to walk the rest of the way.” Grinning he wondered whether Manarie would be okay.

Being the Elite Guard that he was he knew he couldn’t let her into the church until her powers were under control. He couldn’t risk her hurting anyone else. But he wouldn’t let her know this just yet, he would have to wait in case she protested. Hopefully she was a smart fae and she knew exactly how much power he had. His telekinesis was perfectly under control and he could kill her with it if she posed a threat to any of ‘Those Who Guide’. He was there to protect those five certain dogs and he would, even if he didn’t particularly like one of them.

Manarie spotted to black brute. A sigh of relief escaped her maw, and watched as he landed a few feet in front of her. She rolled her eyes at his words, Manarie was well aware that she was visible. A completely black dog agaisnt a blue sky wasn't something you would actually call invisable. But still, he was only telling her so she would be safe. Manarie nodded and pushed herself up so she could stand. Her wings were folded against her back and tucked.

The fae didn't really move very far, and was going to allow Theo to lead the way. She wasn't really the safest dog right now. Powers that aren't under control where extremly dangerous. But if she just had wings, that wouldn't of been a problem. God, she was so stupid for getting caught, she should of seen it coming. Manarie knew she should of just ignored Triell that one night and every thing would be perfectly fine.

Manarie heisitated, "Would you lead the way. I don't feel like myself really, and might just get lost for no reason." The femmora said carefully, eyeing Theo. Was he going to help her get under control? If so, he would probably be the best for the job, and then she could safely go around the pack area and be with her Triell if he joins the pack, which hopefully he will.

The dark brute could tell she was a little on edge. She didn’t seem the way Triell had explained her. She wasn’t as bubbly or happy, more scared and lonely. He knew all too well how that felt. When you escaped the labs you never knew what powers had joined your blood, the way in which your life would change forever. He had never had anyone to teach him how to gain control, he had always been alone. Maybe that was why he had joined the Demeron, so he wouldn’t be alone anymore. His second mistake, his first had of course been getting captured and taken to the labs. But in a way if that had never happened he would have never met Delph or Iris.

Nodding he silently slipped onto the road. Looking nervously around himself he decided no one was coming. His ears were perked up, listening for the slightest movement on either side of himself and the femme. If anything happened to her he would most certainly be dead. He knew he could take on Triell but Benji was a different matter. He wouldn’t fight that brute, not as long as Delph was alive. He had sworn not to hurt him and he would keep his word. If there was one thing Theo hated most was breaking his word. He had promised the two brutes that he would bring Manarie home safely if he found her, and now he would keep that word too.

But first, he would have to help her. Benji’s life was much more important that hers and so he had to deal with that threat. Walking along he led her across to the back of the church but behind the hedge. It was accessible but she wasn’t getting through until he knew he could trust her. “We stop here,” he barked. His authority was above hers and if she didn’t know that, she would recognise it from the tone of his voice. Ivories glinting in the light he grinned at her. “I won’t let you hurt ‘Those Who Guide’ so instead we are going to have a little training session. Once I can see that your powers are under control you will be allowed to go inside.” Even if she tried flying, his powers were perfected; she would find herself on the ground quicker than you could say telekinesis or something like that.

OOC//Sorry, I don't think it's very clear where they are. I didn't know how to describe it. But they are on the other side of the hedge at the back of the church where the meadow is. It's like a mini-graveyard there.
