[The Plague Doctor]

(Sorry, it's long.)

"It was almost exactly a year ago that we were all in our country house. It was simple, but nice. I was having a grand time that afternoon, watching the clouds in the tall grass of the fields around it. I looked at the house, and I see my mom and dad. Mom I can see in the kitchen cooking and baking, something she only did that much during the four weeks we would spend at the house during the summer. Dad was in the yard, playing around with our Siberian Husky named Track. My brother Zach was sword fighting with my younger brother, Kar. My youngest brother, Dastin, was playing with his toy cars nearby. They were all happy with the biggest grins you will ever see plastered on their faces. I saw that they were all so happy, and having nothing else to do, I got up and walked the mile it took to get to the lake. My best friend, Sky, was sitting on a rock dipping her feet. She smiled and waved me over. We talked about hair, guys, and battle tactics until the sun sank fairly low in the sky. From there, we parted ways, her to go back to the house, me to sneak off to meet a guy I liked. We had a simple picnick in a glade close by, and when it started to turn dark, he offered to walk me back to the lake. I declined, telling him apoligetically that my brothers might be there. We were keeping it secret from my parents, and it was hard to persuade my younger brother to keep quiet on things like that. So I walked liesurely down the path, twirling my skirt, happy. I was a half-mile from the house. That was when I saw the red glow coming from where the house sat. The sun had gone down a half-hour ago, so, as you can imagine, this made my heart speed up and my legs move from walking to sprinting. As I got closer, I began to realise that the glow was fire. The main house was ablaze, along with the stables nearby. Thinking that everyone was inside, asleep, oblivious to the blaze, I panicked, and raced inside the house. The smoke was the first thing that hit me, causing my eyes to water so that I could barely see, and making it impossible to breathe. I ignored this, and kept moving. I raced up the stairs, and exploded into Kar's bedroom." Here, Onyx paused, putting a hand to her lips, pressing back a sob. "A Vampire was standing over Kar, facing the door. H-He had blood almost completely covering his front, and his claws and fangs were wet with it. Ka-Kar was on the ground. He was so pale. He had so many scratches. I knew at once that he was dead." By now, Onyx couldn't hold the tears in check, and was sobbing openly. "He was only eight. I was so mad, and grief striken. I didn't pay attention to the fire creeping up on me, or blocking the doorway. I simply grabbed my dagger, and charged at him. He pushed me past him hard enough to send me into the wall and stun me. I slid to the ground, and he was in front of me. I shoved the dagger at him. It got him, and he doubled over. I dodged past him, and despite being ripped apart by leaving my little brother, I ran out into the hall. I ran into my parents' room. Th-They w-were both drained, dead, and scratched when I got there. I backed out fast, shaking my head, hoping that this was simply a horendous nightmare. Next, I went to Zach's room. Th-Things were worse in th-there because I-I-I think he saw what was coming, and fought back. Sky's room was the same. I stopped at the top of the stairs, parilized, tears blurring my vision. I think I screamed then. But then the Vampire was in front of me. In one hand, he held the guy I had slowly started to love over the summer, the one from the lake. His name was Miles. In the other hand, he held Dastin, only five. I could tell they were still alive, because they both looked at me just before he killed them. I could do nothing but tremble in fear and horror as he threw them to the side, and came for me. I felt a horrible pain in my shoulder and neck before everything faded." Onyx ended there, burrying her face in her hands. She feared hearing an outburst from Keirce, telling her that she was a monster to have stood by while this happened, but she fully expected it.

Keirce felt new tears roll from her face at the story. She didn't know how to comfort her, just cry. Keirce couldn't speak for a moment, the story had caused her to be unable to form words. She put a hand on her back, trying to relax her.

[The Plague Doctor]

Onyx stayed still, and after another half hour of weeping, she was dried up and calmed down. She looked up at Keirce. "Thanks." she sais hoarsly. She caughed a couple of times, deciding that she needed water.

[Never & Rush]

"What do you need? You stay here and I'll go get it or you" Keirce offered, pulling away a little. She started to stand up, just waiting for Onyx's reply.

[The Plague Doctor]

Onyx nodded in gratitude. "A large bowl of cool water and a wash cloth would be nice, as well as a cup of water." She coughed a couple of times, putting a hand to her throat. It was the mddle of the afternoon, and her crying jag had already made her tired. She was saddened by the telling of the story because it had taken her back there, to that day. But in some part f her, she was happy to have told someone else. I don't have to carry this burden alone. The thought almost brought her to tears again, but they were tears of happiness. She just hoped that her time of openness wouldn't leave her as a chalk outline on the ground.

[Never & Rush]

Keirce nodded and quickly hurried to get the water. She picked a bowl from one of the cupbards and filled it, then grabbed a cup and towel for Onyx. She hurried as fast as she could with the water up the stairs. She heard some yell, "maid" as a joke but she didn't have time to threaten anyone.

[The Plague Doctor]

Onyx hear a couple shouts of "maid", and had one eyebrow nearly disappearing into her hairline by the time Keirce got back. Onyx scoffed. "What are they talking about? You are dressed entirely wrong to be a maid." She felt a slight smile creeping up on her. Keirce placed the bowl on an end-table next to Onyx, and handed her the cup. She downed the whole thing quickly, saying thanks to the girl. She then soaked the cloth in the bowl, and used it to wipe the sheen of sweat from her forehead. Just then Isabelle came in. "What are you doing?" she asked, tilting her head. Onyx was poised with the cloth on her forhead, and staring at Izzy. Unable to help herself, she doubled over laughing. Both girls gave her odd looks, but sometimes you just have to laugh for no reason.

[Never & Rush]

Keirce smiled a little, laughing had always easily spread to her. Even in the worst of times. She looked to Izzy, "Onyx wasn't feeling well" She told her, half truthfully. She didn't want to break the trust she felt with Onyx now.

[The Plague Doctor]

Izzy simply gestured to Onyx with a nod. "I can see that." This, of course, sent Onyx into another fit of laughter. Izzy's eyebrows slowly went up, giving Onyx anther three minutes on the ground. Almost as soon as it passed, Jace came in. His face was serious, yet excited. "Alek has detected a greater demon, and is calling for backup. Lots of it, so get ready." With that, he bolted out the door, and Onyx who had always been a serios fighter, was right on his tail. She slid into her room, got into her gear, grabbed the rest, and bolted out the door. She, as always, was the first one to arive where the demon was. Even Alek had opted to stay well away. "Jeez. Scaredy cats." she muttered under her breath. She pulled out a seraph blade, and ran right at the thing.

[Never & Rush]

Keirce's face went blank before hatred covered her face. She followed Onyx out, grabbing everything she would need along the way. She arrived shortly after Onyx, her own sword held tighly in one hand. Her gaze flicked to Onyx and then everyone else. For a moment she stood there, before saying the seraph blade's name and watching it glow to life. She lunged at the demon, all the anger behind her dad's death being used against it.
