Runaway Princess

[Vyn]

Heitsi-Eibi fled through the cobblestone streets of her town Victorian town, the sharp sound of her non-retractable echoing off the smooth stones to effectively mask the sounds of her soft sobbing. That wouldn't be the case once her pure white paws hit the grass of the Onyx Park, but it was a comfort for now. However, considering the current curses and wailing thoughts running through the young Princess's mind, it was highly doubtable that she'd even notice the difference.

Which she didn't.

Soft white paws hit the grass at a run, tears sliding down her pale white cheeks. She was lost in her own mind, furious and distraught at once. How could Daddy deny her such a thing? She was old enough to deserve a Puppet of her own! She was sick of sharing the uses of Hlorsi'ibia and Siakenobi! She wanted her own and she'd be damned if he didn't give her own!

But Daddy didn't budge once he'd decided something. Even she knew that he wouldn't be giving her anything until he decided he wanted to do so.

Slowly she became of the grass beneath her paws, of the beautiful trees spreading out above her head, and slowly began to slow her pace. Erratic sobbing faded into silent tears as the Marionette shifted forms from feline to humanoid, a slow and awkward change at this age, but she'd perfect it with time until she was as skilled as Daddy. Finally the change was complete, leaving a ravishing child in the place of the equally beautiful kitten.

Her human form was as pale as snow, with straight black locks which contrasted beautifully against the tear-stained face they framed, and her lack of clothing lent her a lovely sort of vulnerability as she stood trembling in the silent park. The sound of a twig snapping nearby sent shivers rushing up her spine, forcing Heitsi to hug herself in order to fend away the cold and fear. Only now had it finally sunk in: she was alone. Utterly alone. Daddy was not nearby to protect her, and her usual 'attendants' were back at the Theatre as well.

"Hello?"

She questioned of the dark night, her voice light and trembling with concern. The fear of suddenly being alone had wiped away her usual aloof arrogance, replacing it with a childish naivety. Heitsi just wanted to go home, to have Siake appear from no where and coddle her, anything but be attacked by a filthy stranger.

Sliding softly through the grass, Aleibsa's thoughts wandered, from the events of the previous morning, to the present, as the arrival of night cast a morbid shadow over any hopes she had contained earlier.

There was no way she could prove herself now. The entire world, in Aleibsa's eyes, seemed to be mocking her, the trees hideous specters, amused at her state. She shook her head violently, and shuddered.

This was no way to repent. She had been tainted, most certainly, if the very place that she had once found comforting now barred her with silent, steely glares. The wind seemed to moan softly..

A single eye blinked, and the Promise cast her gaze to the area parallel from where she lay. Perhaps it was not the wind wailing..

Was it an illusion, or was that a human-like figure? She felt her fears slowly evaporating. No human would possibly harm her..and a child, at that...

She stepped closer, cautiously. Something didn't seem right, yet she chose to ignore it...

belloobaskennels.com/euclide14.htm<---- I'm updating some of his info.

A shadow amongs the blanket of stars is what most saw. But this was incorrect. Musculan wings flapped softly, golden ripples flew accross the golden sail in a rythmatic tone. Soulish eyes scanned the ground, they were perfect for this kind of night. Large ears worked better. They heard everything happening. The night seemed still but he wouldn't be fooled.

The noise of the child, no matter how low in magnitude, was picked up. He quickly changed his pace, and at an angle was diving near the young Marionette. He pulled away as she slowed, his talons reached for something to dig in. An old park bench, not the most flashy entrance but it was good enough for him. The daggers stabbed into the old bench, it would never be the same again!

Jekuia using his thumb adjusted his velvat hat. He slanted it downward at an angle, leaving a dark shadow over his right eye. He dusted off his gold embroirded coal fur to look casual before speaking. But before his rich british accent could sink out, it was interupted by the lovely Amuni's vioce. Now he'd have to rethink the next step.

"I am here." he said cautiosly. He knew she was an Euclides, and from her human form a probable beautiful one at that. Swiftly he moved near her side but at a far distance, looking at her softly. "Young one, if I may be persistant what is bothering you?" he cooed looking back at the Amuni expecting a sort of response from seeing a Puppet Master in clear view.

[XD Nevermind! I was going to come and stick Rez in here *wink* but since you already have many willing rpers, I'll stay out >.>; and we can rp them together later XD]

Aleibsa had only just noticed the shadows growing at the edge of the park, nearer to the bench. It appeared that the child had not yet noticed her..

Her breaths began to quicken slightly. A foreboding cloud of anxiety crept over her cautiously. For a moment, she wondered what could possibly be happening..

The shadows were moving swiftly, and seemed to be taking on a shape. Aleibsa's eyes widened as the Puppet Master came into view.

My Father, protect me!she whispered automatically, backing into the tree behind which she had recently been laying under.

Aleibsa had lived a relatively sheltered life. It was the first time the Amuni had ever seen one of..them in a long time..and certainly not one of his status..

Her eyes flickered back to the child. Certainly, she couldn't be one also...

Her eyelids flickered shut automatically, as a rush of terror sped through her every vein. Paralysis, she thought, suddenly. She must remain calm..

Heitsi paused as rainbow hues came into view, stunted faerie wings graced upon a canine's back. Heitsi knew nothing of Amuni types, but she knew enough to recognize the stranger for what she was. Amuni... Hater of the Euclide... Would she attack a helpless child? The grand princess, daughter of Jiaro? Surely not!

Yet, even in her regal confidence, Heitsi was frozen in place. She was just a child after all.

Abruptly her attention was stolen by a new figure, sweeping shadows approaching from her side. The young insanity mix jumped slightly, the unclothed child stepping cautiously away from the Chiroptae before relaxing lightly. Friend, not foe. Euclide, not Amuni... and a Puppet Master too.

A light smile touched her beautiful features, pale blue eyes twinkling shining with a likeness to a princess first encountering her Prince Charming.

"Hello, Sir." She glanced over to the Amuni and tilted her head, insanity shining momentarily into her smile. "Why so afraid, Amuni-fae?" Heitsi had stepped closer to the Chiroptae Puppet Master, a smile upon her lovely features. "Nothing anymore, sir. Much thanks for your concern."

The gaze of the regal creature was put back on the child. She was a beautiful sculpted yound one he could only imagine her in her animal form.

He quickly looked back at Aleibsa. He could say with ease, if she wasn't an Amuni, that she was quite a beautiful spectur. Of course he couldn't admit it, at least not around outher euclides.

She was scared, Jekuia could see that and lifted an eybrow. On Amuni, he was on the fence with that subject. He really didn't care wether they liked his kind or not, but if they would ridicule him for it than he didn't take it. He didn't like those kind of Amuni, but if they accepted him for what he was than he was ok with them. Sometimes its all how you look at it.

The puppet master lifted one golden sail and paced it behind Heitsi not even touching her. "I am very glad all is well." he nodded to her, thick brittish gentleman accent always apparent. "And you, Amuni." he said and layed his cold orbs apon the Promise. "What is your name?" he gave her smile, but it was bittersweet as he wasn't going to hurt her but he was someone to take seriously.

(Heitsi is currently in her human form, just to let you know ST.

Also, I won't be able to reply again tonight, but I'll get back to this as soon as I'm home tomorrow. ^^ Sorry for the delay.)

(sorry, I'll edit it.)

The Amuni placed one paw ahead, nervously.

Things were certainly not going as she would have expected--if the stories and warnings she had heard all her life were true, then the two of them should be attempting to destroy her immediately..

Aleibsi shut her eyes cautiously and took several deep breaths, focusing on calming herself completely.

Afterwards, her rainbow irises took in the scene deeply, skimming across the two Euclide.

[blue]"I am Aleibsa,"[/blue] she murmured, delicately.

Surely it would not hurt her if they knew her name, the Puppet Master at least seemed a sort of gentleman..
