The Coven II

[The GrandMage]

Luke

He purred loudly, and brought his face to hers, licking his sandpaper tongue across her cheek before claying down on her chest and staring at her.

"But I enjoy making you happy, mistress. I want to make you laugh and smile. Besides, I enjoy doing things with you. And I do have things I want. I want to hold you while stare up at the stars. I want play with a big ol' ball of yarn. And, I want to nuzzle close to you and listen to you, mistress."

 

[Sweetp4u]

Elizabeth

She got a really confused look on her face, looking down at him she opened her mouth to speak and shut it. Then opened it again, and closed it once more. Then burst out laughing.
"Oh god! That is funny Luke" She laughed for a few minutes then stopped, slowly. She wiped the tears of laughter from her face.
"You want to play with a big ball of yarn? And you just tossed that in with the rest?" She giggled again, trying to contain her mirth. She took deep breaths in and out, trying to stop the urge to bubble over with it.
"Ok.. Ok im calm again." She smiled and stroked his head, scracthing behind his ears.
"Hold me and watch the stars? then play with yarn?" She chuckled.
"Oh you are precious Luke!" She hugged him carefull not to squish him.
She grew serious for a moment.
"As much as I love the idea of someone living their life only to make me happy, it doesnt seem fair to you. Do you have a choice in this? Or is it just instinct in you? I mean, isnt there a time when you want to do something without being told? Do something that makes you happy.... " She trailed off. What was she saying? He was her Familiar, His whole mind was devoted to her. Almost like a robot.
"Can I demand you do as you please? Instead of doing whatever I want, you can choose for yourself what you want to do? Or is that not possible?

 

[The GrandMage]

Luke

He climbed up, his tiny feline eyes staring into hers. "Perhaps, mistress, you are not understanding. I enjoy making you happy. It makes me feel good. Besides, I have not experienced much beyond being a cat, and enjoy the new experiences. An what's wrong with yarn? It's fun. The way it sticks to your claws and you can bat it around and it gets smaller and smaller, and it's so colorful! And I do have things I want to do."

He ourred, and licked her again. "They just all involve you. Or a cat toy."

 

[Sweetp4u]

Elizabeth

She giggled again, it was so cute listening to his thoughts, but in her mind she pictured Luke in human form playing with yard and burst out laughing even harder.
"Oh sorry" She quieted down again.
She smiled when he licked her cheek once again.
"They all involve me huh? Dare I ask if it has to do with yarn??" She giggled again and set Luke on the bed next to her. Rising she walked over to her closet digging in it for something to wear. Night was falling, the shorts wouldnt keep her very warm.
She talked as she dug around.
"Well Luke, if making me happy, makes you happy.. Well then who am I to tell you differently?" She tossed off her shirt and shorts. Turning she looked at him sitting on the bed.
"And If you want some toys, We'll go shopping! Besides we need you licensed. That way if someone finds you, you are returned to me. Hate to have you off in the Kennel and the sunsets." She rummaged around a little more.
"You know.. I believe my closet is the biggest mess in the world. I need less junk, or to lose the credit cards.."
She giggled again. "Yarn" he was so amusing.
"I'm glad you are here Luke, without you my life would even more boring than its been today."
She came back from the closet and laid down next to Luke as she was. Hell with it, shes the only one home and Luke has seen it before. As a cat it wouldnt interest him at all.
She reached into her nightstand and pulled out a deck of cards.
"Wanna play go fish?" She giggled again. A cat playing go fish? Hey he can communicate with her so it would be fair.

 

[The GrandMage]

Luke

He stared at her a few moments, then whipped his tail around.

"Sure. How do you play, mistress?"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Elizabeth

She giggled again.
"Oh man, you have to have hands to play, Other wise i would see your cards. And just where would you hold them?"
She sat up and folded her legs indian style under her.
"Ok this is how you play, though you cant. I deal us out each 10 cards. The object of the game is to take turns asking each other for any card we need. We need all four cards, same number, to lay them down. And if say you have three 3's and need the 4th. you ask me if i have any 3's. if i say no, cuz i dont have any. I say go fish and you have to draw a card from the deck in the middle. Make sense?" She giggled again.
"Ok maybe it doesnt make sense. but its an easy game."
She closed her eyes, it was a few hours til sunset anyways, why not?
She pictured it in her mind, clearly seeing him transform from cat into man. her mind whispering the words over and over. Until she said it finally with clarrification.
She felt her body heat up and her mind relax. She peeked her eyes open to see if the spell had worked or not.

sorian

walking up to elizabeths home i knock on the door thinking "is this the right house,i've never been good at directions." A young lady answers the door."yes may i help you" she asks
"hi my name is sorian and i was wondering if elizabeth is here,i need to ask her when healing hands is open."i said as i pull my trench coat tighter around myself." a friend of mine told me about it and i have just barely got the time tonight to drop by" i finish as i feel an unusual chill run through as if i'm being searched.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Elizabeth

Hearing a knock on the door, she jumped up and tossed on her clothing.
"Wait here Luke" She took off down the stairs and pulled open the door.
"Hello? May I help you?"
He introduced himself as Sorian.
"Hello, Im Elizabeth."
He asked about "Healing Hands"
"Its the weekend, I wont be opening the store until Monday morning bright and early. Did you need something? If it is an emergency I will open up for a minute for you."

 

[Lillith Veniziano]

A few cars pass by in the cold winter night, and her eyes lift idly to watch them as they do so. Some of the drivers spare her a glance, mostly giving her strange looks before they drive on. She really doesn't seem to mind or really care. Pushing herself away from the streetlamp, she gives a small sigh, beginning to walk on down the street. As she does so, it begins to snow..slowly at first, with tiny flakes skittering across the asphalt and concrete. But as her steps take her further, the snowflakes get bigger and begin to fall more thickly.

Even then, she really doesn't seem to mind, the wind and the cold, the snow and the chill. Her steps take her along to her destination..there is a place she must be tonight..something that must be done...

 

[Sweetp4u]

occ: Lillith, It is March in the story. Spring. We also need a character description and name of your character.

 

[silverwolf]

sorian

"i have but a minor problem though none of my remedy's would work" saying that i take of my trench coat to reveal a six pack a well formed pecks though nothing like a body builder just average.turning around i point to an upside down pentacle, or pentagram, that is black and seems to be pulsing."its a spell thats all i know i've tried everything i can think of from healing to unhexing and nothing works.can you help me" i said as i pulled my trench coat back on.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Elizabeth

She gasped at the sight of the mark on his back. She knew that symbol well, It was in many movies. It was the mark of evil or the devil. She stepped back a little, not aware she did it.
"Well umm. I do not know if I would have anything to help this?" Biting her lip she thought for a moment.
"Perhaps if you tell me where you are staying, I can ask a friend I know and He may know a way to help you.." She didnt understand it, and almost asked if he would turn again so she might make sure she seen right. But she didn't. The mark seemed as if it was moving, breathing, perhaps throbbing. But it did look like it was moving on his skin. Not moving location wise, but pulsing like a heart beat.
"I've honestly never seen anything like that before in my life.." She didn't know this man well enough to invite him into her home, though she wanted to. Something warned her not to.
"Sorian? wasn't it? Give me your number, and where you are staying. I think Max could help you more than I could. Or perhaps you could come back tomorrow? When I have a chance to locate him?" She wanted to help him with this, it was in her nature to help those she could. She just didn't know how she was going to do it. Not yet anyways. Her eyes met his as she waited for his responce, Where did he come from anyways? He was deffinately new here.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Maxine

She drove along the old highway leading out of town, and past that Woman's store. Her eyes narrowed, she wondered what Max wanted with Miss Goody-two-shoes anyways. Its not like Maxine wasnt beautiful, talented, and smart. Men! What a pain in the ass they were. She pulled over infront of Healing Hands, and looked around. Figures. It was closed.
She wouldnt get to toy with the little bitch today.
Humming her nursery Rhymes again, she sat there inspecting her nails. She should get her ass back to max's place and get her things moved to her new apartment.
First!
She had something to do.

She got out of the car and walked up the front steps of Healing Hands. Looking around she started her little curse. Picking up a fresh fallen tree branch, she drew a marks here and there over the front boards into the store.
Concentrating, she started to mumble words. Once done she spit on the board and stepped back.
Now anyone who entered this store would have nothing but bad luck follow them around. She smiled a twisted little smile and walked back to her car.

 

[silverwolf]

sorian

"well you see there is the problem,i came here recently on vacation and things didnt go quite right.i have a job but i havent got a place to live quite yet.but i could come back tommorow." i said as i pulled my trench coat closer around me feeling that un mistakable chill of evil. "i mean if thats alright with you." i said as i felt myself start to feel as if i'm being searched again as if someone was reading my mind.'i dont want to be a burden on anyone its just i've tried everything to get rid of this spell.' i thought as i waited for her responce.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Elizabeth

She felt badly for mistrusting him, but with Maxine around it was hard for her to tell who was good and who was bad lately.
"Well damn." She sighed looking behind her. Luke was upstairs, and he was quite capable of watching over her.
"I cant send you away if you have no where to go, Its just not right. And my parents did raise me better than that. Just look me in the eyes and swear to me you arent some Psycho killer or something as bad as that." She met his eyes.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Maxine

She cocked her head to the side as if listening to someone speak to her. She giggled again. Oh but there was a play toy near by. Could it be Lizzie? Could it be Serina, Luke or possibly Max's Familiar?
She felt a presence. One she wasnt familiar with, but knew it would be fun to torment. She walked around the side of the building, looking up the driveway.
"Aaaaahhh There you are my sweet little girl" her eyes fell on Lizzie. She was standing in the doorway speaking with someone.
Perhaps Lizzie would be fun? No? She giggled again, but quietly. Maxine's mind was working over time again. She licked her lips as she watched the innocent girl/woman talk to the man at her door. A traveling salesman perhaps? She eyed his frame, Oooh he looked good enough to eat.
She closed her eyes and whispered "You can not see. You can not see. Before you is nothing, Do not see me" She felt herself transpire into nothing, but still remained where she was. Oh she loved it when no one could see her. She was there Physically, but she made their minds bend to her will. They wouldn't see her until she wanted to be seen.
Slowly she moved up the drive way, approaching the house. Silent as she could move.
She stopped at the begining of the porch. A good 20 feet from the two.
"Perhaps they will tell me something interesting, Distraction. Play toys. Her mind spoke to herself in a little childs voice and she had to cover her mouth to keep from giggling again. She eyed the house, Lizzie's Familiar would see her, but he was no where in sight. Good. She was safe. She listened to them exchange the most boring conversation imaginable.Sighing, she moved back down the driveway and vanished behind the building before letting herself reverse the spell. She climbed into her car. The doorway was hexed, and soon Lizzie would be her playtoy. She could seduce the sweet innocent, by raping her mind for all she desired. Perhaps Maxine would have to make her think things to get Lizzie where she wanted her. Invade her dreams, drive her into a frenzied lust. Maxine giggled again and drove back towards Max's house. Once she was settled into her new home, the games would begin...

i"if that is what you are afraid of i will do something better than look you in the eyes.Take my hand and you will be able to search my mind,and dont worry it wont harm you in any way."i said as i opened my mind to her "i swear on everything i hold dear,i will not harm you."i said as i held out my hand

 

[Sweetp4u]

Elizabeth

She looked down at his extended hand, a little skeptical that she could read his mind. She looked up at his face once more, and slowly slide her hand into his. As her fingertips grazed tha palm of his hand she started hearing thoughts. Her eyed widened a little, this was very strange to her. As soon as she sensed peace in him she let go. She stepped back, and looked down at her own hand.
"That was weird" Her voice was soft almost whispering. She looked around the yard outside, for a moment she felt as if she was being watched. But it had gone away rather quickly.
"Alright, Sorian. Welcome to my home. Come on in here and have a seat. Tell me more of this mark on you?" She opened the door and let him step in. Shutting it softly behind him, she led him into the living room.
She sat down and watched him, wondering where that ability came from? Why could she read his mind?

 

[silverwolf]

sorian

smiling at her comfusion, "i will explain that aswell,but first some history about me." i said as i sat down across from her. " as i have said my name is sorian, and i am a rare wizard as the unknowing call us,wizaards and witchs quite halarious, but i have decended from the roman gypsys and have "aquired" some abilities never heard of before." seeing the curiosity in her eyes " her i'll demonstrate" with that out of my pocket i produce a piece of wood, square in shape, and change it into an exact likeness of her.tossing it to her."that is one of the lesser abilities,but anyway, my parents were killed when i was young and i have become a wandering healer though i was here not to long ago.in this town i mean, but along the way i sorta made some enemies with those who use magick for the wrong purposes.and have had my times" not telling here exactly what happened cause that would frighten her " i was walking down this very street when it happened,i felt this sering pain right where the mark is and passed out, when i awoke this was here.it dosent harm me it just makes me cold like someone is freezing my soul.but i heard that you might be able to help me,aswell as the rumors about your beauty, which do you no credit." i add as se her start to blush. "there are some things i canot say but if you must know then i will let you see them" i said as i relaxed after going over the painful memory in my mind. " i will teach you what i know if you can help me" i said finally.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Elizabeth

She sat there listening to his story, holding the miniature of her. Looking down at the wooden likeness, she smiled.
"Well, I will give it a try. I have my own little lab downstairs for mixing things. And I do know some different herbs and.." She trailed off, her thoughts working non stop.
"Sounds like you had a very interesting life here. So, you were walking down this very street, and were cursed? Do you recall the exact day this happened?" She set the wooden figurine on the table and ran herhands down her thighs. She was thinking of the book, and if it might help her in this.
"The problem is Sorian, I am just learning myself here. This might take some time..But I will help you, if i can."
She stood up and went to the fridge pulling out two cokes. She handed one to Sorian, then she leaned against the counter.
"IF you like, You can stay here until I find a cure or you do. There is a guest bedroom down here you are welcome to use."
She opened her coke and sipped it.
"That is if you are sure I wont blow you into little pieces trying to find a cure.." She smiled, "That was a joke.. I hope"

 

[Lillith Veniziano]

OOC: My mistake. I apologize. I'll make my posts conform to the current season from now on. And here's a description, as well:

Name: Lillith
Age: Unknown, appears to be early to mid 20's.
Height: About 6 feet, 5 inches.
Weight: Unknown.
Hair color: Dark black.
Eye color: Deep violet.

Lillith is most often seen wearing a dark red leather trenchcoat, no matter what the season. Underneath it, her outfit usually seems to vary, and it can sometimes be as brazen as nothing at all. She is tall, beautiful, and enigmatic...she seems to have no real point of origin in this world. A drifter, she wanders about, always seeming to be looking for something that is just beyond her reach. Taciturn and introverted, she can sometimes be a bit of a bore...but on those occasions that she becomes aroused or excited in some way, that quiet exterior of hers melts away. In the bedroom, she seems to have no inhibitions whatsoever.

" i thank you for your kindness,and i trust you to do your best as that is the reputation i've heard." i said as i opened the coke." in return i will help you with anything you wish and if you want i will teach you what i know" i said as i took a drink of my coke."i dont recall the exact day but i've had this for about a month and a half.i've tried everything i know so if you cant figure it out thats ok.Anyway i said i would explain how you can read my mind" i said as i searched for the exact way to explain it. "i am able to open my mind to ppl and then it still isnt everything on my mind.but its like opening a door, you just have to imagin your mind as an endless hallway full of doors and behind each door is a momory and personality.each you open become visible." then as if an after thought, " and again i am very greatful for everything your doing for me.Thank you." isaid.then there was that feeling of being searched again and an involuntary shiver runs through me.

[Sweetp4u]

Elizabeth

She set her coke down, Luke was waiting for her upstairs, she needed to get back up there. She glanced around, then met his eyes once more.
"Well, I can honestly say I would not want people reading my mind. But thanks for the offer. Now other things you may know would interest me, im sure." She smiled and moved away from the counter.
"I'll shwo you were your room will be, Though this is only temporary. If you like I will help you locate an apartment or something. I dont mean to sound rude, its just I like my privacy."
She led him down her hallway, past the livingroom and into the old master bedroom.
"This place is pretty comfortable, and you can make yourself at home here. You may run across Luke while here, im sure you will. He is.. well different, but he wont harm you." She smiled. She wouldnt explain any further who Luke was. She was sure he would guess sooner or later.
She turned back to the door and paused.
"Dinner will be in a couple of hours, I've got to go upstairs and consult Luke. Then I will start working in the basement on a cure for you. If you are ready that is? Becuase I will need you down there, so I know what you have tried, and what you havent."
She smiled and walked out the bedroom. Once she reached the stairs up, she started to wonder how she would help him.
She turned and retrieved The Book from the living room and took it up with her.
She entered her room and met Luke's eyes.
"You know whats going on, Any ideas how I can help him?" She sat down on the bed next to him, and looked at the Book's cover.

 

[silverwolf]

SORIAN

as she showed me to my room she started talking about luke.'oh my god it cant be the same luke can it' i thought as i concentrated on hiding my surprise.' never mind that what is she trying to hide' i thought as i sat on the bed in the room going into a meditative state to go astral project to the spiritual realm and see my long deceased wife.staying in that state until elizabeth comes to get me.

ooc:i'm really liking this thread, my compliments to the one who created it.
