Tara looked at the blood still.Her eyes were glowing still but her wings had gone back.She was filled with hate for almost everything.She looked at the sky everything seemed to have blood on it.It was because of all the hate she now had.She began to wonder if she would ever change back..

Nick found Tara and put his sword of ice away in it's sheath. "hey Tara! are you allright?"he asked looking at her expression.

Tara looked at Nick with an emotionless look on her face.Her glowing eyes stopped glowing as she looked at him."..."she didn't say anything.She just looked at the ground as if in shame.

"..."Nick climbed the tree and took the wrist of the hand that had the blood on it. He then wiped most of it off with his black overshirt. he smiled abit."better?"he asked.

Tara brought her nails back to regular.And stared at Nick still nearly with an emotionless exspression then said"Why did you follow me?I thought you were going stay and help fight that--...er nevermind."she said looking down in shame again.

Nick smiled at the almost slip of words she had."I believe as well it's teron's fight. And i thought it would be nice to follow ya..."

Tara was still looking down when she said"Atleast your finding a bit of amusement as well.."she as she got ready to jump down from the tree.

"amusment? In what? Folowing you around? Maybe it is kinda fun but i enjoy when i catch up to you..."nick said then hugging her.

Tara looked at him in shock."Fun?Whats so great about catching up with me?"she asked him.

"isn't it appaerent?"he asked bringing her closer and kissing her head.

"Mmm..I suppose.."she said looking at him and allowing him to kiss her.She was still angry from earlier.

"why are you so tensed? Are you mad? What possibly made you that way?"Nick asked holding her close to him. "If it's that dude, Tyran i think, I wouldn't worry much."

Tara looked at Nick in shock"Me?Worry?!And Tense???!!!!!!!"she said a bit angrier at the thought of Tyran.It nearly mad her sick to hear that name again.

Nick had a sweatdrop on his head. "yeah... i'm sorry... can i help?"

Tara turned to see Nick.She suddenly felt bad."N..no i'm sorry" she said as she looked down."No..I don't think anything can anyone can help me.."she said with a bit of saddness mixed in with hate.She jumped down from the tree and walked into the mansion.She went into a room and jumped down on her bed.

Nick sighed. He thought that maybe he should check on everyone but knew thaTyran hurt bad right now more than likely. Not only normaly does that hurt but with that stone and Tara in her demon form that was multiplied by millions. He thought about following her but then went against it. He hung out in the tree a bit.

Tara looked up at the ceiling.Nothing seemed right.She sighed heavily.Then pain shot threw her like a thousand knives.She screamed in pain,but only heard her own echo,everyone was gone.She got up as blood rushed down from her neck.

Nick jumped out of the tree. Something had happened....but what? He ran to find Tara.

Tara touched her neck,she felt the blood.She didn't understand what was going on but she knew it wasn't good and everyone was gone.

Nick went into the mansion and found a trail of blood on the floor. It smelled like Tara's blood... He ran like lightning, litterly, to find her. When he found her bleeding from her neck he went to her and took the black overshirt of to try to clean away the blood. He was to much in panick to ask what had happened.

Tara looked at Nick in surprise and alot of pain.She tried to smile,but couldn't the pain hurt too much.She finally managed ask him"W..why are you here??I thought--"she asked but fell to the ground on her knees.Blood still came heavily from her neck.She sensed something coming.Something in search of blood.It was in the mansion coming closer to them.It wanted one of their blood,but with a little bit of Taras blood on Nick.It made the creature hard to choose.She sensed it wanted one of theirs blood.She pushed away from Nick and ran out the door.Blood rushed down her back from her neck.She looked over her shoulder and saw a dark creature running behind her,it wanted her blood.

"Tara!"Nick Yelled getting up and chasing after her.He got between the dark creature. He took out his sword and slashed it in half.

The creature continued as if nothing had happened,but now there were two creature since Nick had slashed it in half.Tara stopped when she heard Nick.She saw the two creatures coming at her,but she didn't run.She knew it was attracted to alot of blood.She whipped the back of her neck and put her now bloody hand in front of her."Is this what you want?!"she demanded the creatures which had now stopped and started smelling the blood.

Nick pulled tara away from them. He knew they would mulitply again if he slashed them. He used a water spell from his sword. Water swirled around them putting them into a dom in which they were to drown in.

Tara looked at Nick.Then she looked back her her bloody hand.While Nick was using a water spell,she started to walk off.

When the creatures had died and vanished, Nick looked back at tara. He ran up to her."Are you all right? Why are you bleeding?"he asked still in panick and worry for her. he stilled tried to get the blood off to find the wound.

Tara looked at Nick with a slight smile"Yea i..i'm ok..."she said looking at him.Then wipped the back of her neck"heh if you forget about this.."she said.

Nick sighed quietly. he was glad she was all right. But he couldn't get past the blood. His balck over shirt was now a deep red. how could he get it to stop? He tought of sarah but he couldn't leave Tara alone. PLus she was in a battle.

Tara looked at Nick and asked him"Whats wrong?"she looked down at the ground"I'll leave if you want me to.."she said quietly as she started to walk away.

Nick smiled."no its the complete oppisit!"he said grabbing her around th wait from the back. she was still bleeding. "why are you bleeding? why won't it stop?"he asked.

Tara looked away trying not to look at him."I....don't know..."she finally said her voice had saddened tremendously."I went into my room,laid down then I felt this pain in my neck,...like a thousand knives had just stabbed themselves into me..."she said to him still not looking at him.

Nick had a strait face as he still tried to get rid of the blood. The necklece was still on her. he took it off and wiped at it some more. The blood stop and there was a thin cut along where it had layed. "it was my fault...."nick said backing away.

Tara finally looked at Nick."How could have been your fault?"she asked him.She walked back up to him and hugged him"I can't see anything thats happened to me you fault.."she said to him smiling.

"I gave you this necklece and i guess since your not a full blood demon, it cut you and wouldn't let it heal... and those things came after you! I'm sorry..."he said letting her hug him but not putting his arms around her.

"Its ok...I know you didn't mean any harm.."she said to him.She let go of him and vanished.

:blink: "were..."nick said aloud in surprise. he stoped and tried to track her energy.

Tara looked around her.She didn't know where she was or why.She was in a tree,when she sensed something near her.She jumped down from the tree and looked around.It was so familar,the big mansion close to the tree a garden towards the back of the mansion.But this place didn't feel like the mansion..or was it?she thought.She sensed everyone around her that she knew they weren't really far away and nor was she but how did she get back to the mansion."This is turning out to be one hell of a day!Tara said aloud as she heard a soft snicker behind her.

Nick freaked a little bit clamed down when he found her energy. She wasn't in any trouble but a little fustrated. He went to find her.

"Dear child do not be levity..I will not hurt you.."the voice said as a figure came into view in front of her."Mmm...you poor child,such a deleterious thing to see you here all alone..wheres your family...oh wait I forgot you have no family."the figure said still hiding itself in the tenebrous of the shadows"Who are you and what do you want with me?!"Tara demanded."Dear child do ye not even remember your own kind.."the figure said as he stepped out into the sulight.Tara stepped back in fear.She knew who he was,he was the one who killed her family,her mother,and everyone else related to her,even the father she never knew."Now tell my dear how have you been able to escape my grasp for all these years?I remember you going back in fear just as you are now when you saw you mother die in front of you.She was protecting you,but you couldn't return that to her...As I approached you like this.."he said coming closer to her"You brought you hand out and a powerful dark attack struck me,giving you the chance to slip away,but now after all those years you have no where to run!"he said grinning as he put an arm around her.He was a full demon,but could shapeshift into anything when he pleased much like Tara except a full demon."You have become quite beautiful my dear,but i'm afraid I must finish what I started when you were little!Become what i've always knew you could be.Forget about being pure and kind,become evil and dark!!"he said to her as he began to try and awaken the full demon resting inside her since she was young."No!"Tara said as she pushed away and ran.

Nick felt another presence. he went a little faster as he came to the place they were at.
