Destined Meeting (Redo) [P][pos M]

Postby Jaden Wolf » 10/15/2014 9:17 PM

((A new version of an rp I did years ago))

Hope (Human)
Runic (Demon and Human)


In the darkness of the night under a cloud covered sky, the falls seemed like a silky black merchant of death waiting for any who stepped too close. The rocky edges of the cliffside and the pool which by daylight seemed a pleasant place for lovers to rest were now a treacherous unseen danger. Rocks that none would have concerned themselves with, nestled closely to one side and well avoidable, were now a threat to any unfortunate soul who lost their footing on the wet slopes above.

All this was exactly why Runic chose this place to lurk for the night. Just the thought of what could befall a mortal in these waters excited him and he could barely control his bloodlust. Unfortunately, it didn't seem anyone was in a particularly venturing mood tonight and he therefore had no prey. Sigh. Perfect killing zone, but no one to kill. Just as he started to consider going elsewhere to find his kill, a motion drew his eye. Below him, just within the trees at the outer edge of the pool, walked a single girl. With a sparkle in his eye, Runic quietly descended the slope and approached the female, not fearing detection in this thick darkness.
You can pretend that when you hear my voice, darling, it's your choice not to fall in.

But it's all an act, 'cause I know exactly what you're wanting. You know it's what I'm wanting

Boy I know what you desire, oh, you're such a bad, bad liar

This could be perfection, or venom dripping in your mouth

Singing like a Siren, love me while your wrists are bound

Hope couldn't help muttering angrily to herself under her breath. What on earth compelled her to come to the middle of nowhere on a night like this!? She could barely see a foot in front of her and had no light to help guide her way, not even the stars seemed to want to come out. What had been a simple nighttime stroll had turned into her desperately trying to feel her way and hoping to the gods she did not get more lost. Tripping over a branch, Hope barely kept her face from smacking the ground. Picking herself back up, she huffed in frustration and blindly brushed off her skirt. It was then that she noticed a light glowing somewhere ahead, just off to the left. Curious, she stumbled towards it, but hesitated after a couple of steps when she realized it was getting farther away. Perhaps it was a person?
"Hello?" she called into the darkness. There was no response.
"Hello, is anyone there? I'm a little lost... she called again, wavering a bit. No answer. If it wasn't a person, what was it? And if it was a person, why weren't they answering? A voice in the back of her mind screamed at her to turn around and go the other way but her curiosity won out and she ventured forward.

Runic grinned a sly, wicked grin, his long fanged teeth almost gleaming in the light of his demon fire. Almost. He was always careful not to let the flames cast light on his figure. Wouldn't be much use to his plan if his prey noticed him. The female's voice rang out in the darkness and Runic narrowed his eyes in delight. She had definitely noticed. But then he noticed she was hesitating. No mortal ever hesitated once caught in the light of his demon fire. Clearly there was something unique about her. As she started back towards him, however, he brushed it off. Who cares if she's not just a regular mortal, as long as she could be killed. Slowly, he moved forwards, being sure to maintain an equal distance from her as he led her up a gently sloping path towards the falls.

Hope was actually quite nervous, anyone would be in this darkness, lost and alone. Or...she was fairly certain she was alone. The light didn't seem to be held by anyone. They were out of the trees now, she was sure. The ground beneath her feet no longer held twigs and roots for her to trip on. Maybe this light would lead her home. She had heard stories about stuff like that. Maybe the angels were helping her. Of course, she had heard bad kind of stories as well but only in fairy tales, and she figured she ought to have the power to sense such danger, or at least the angels would tell her. After all, she was an angel of sorts herself. Tripping, she wobbled and sensing open air next to her, willed her wings to form. The bonus perk of being an angel. She wasn't sure where the ground was down this drop; could be just a couple of feet or several stories. But she wasn't taking a chance, her wings would be able to catch her if the height was enough to injure her. Reassuring herself, she looked back to the light and started towards it again.

Runic smirked when his prey tripped, but faltered when he saw wings. Immediately, he took a deep breath in. She certainly smelled mortal, though it had a strange twist to it. It was then that it occurred to him that this female could be one of those contracted mortals he'd heard of. Mortals who leaned so heavily to the side of darkness or light that they could form contracts to gain power. If this was the case, this girl was a mortal angel.
All the more reason to kill her.
It goes without saying demons and angels are enemies, and one less angel (mortal or not) to stand against the demons, all the better for him. It also explained why she wasn't exactly entranced by his demon fire. Though he was a little more uncertain his plan would work and his brain worked furiously to come up with a new plan that was certain to work. However he could think of none. For now, he'd just have to hope this would work.

Hope blinked as she noticed that the light had stopped. She paused for a moment in confusion. Why had it stopped? Slowly, she approached it. As she did, she couldn't help but think of how beautiful the little flame was, a light flickering green that seemed to dance in the darkness, its little tendrils forming intricate, glittering shapes. She reached out slowly and brushed her finger against the edge, expecting it to be hot but it wasn't. In fact, it felt warm, comforting, like an embrace. Without thinking, she pulled her arms around it, holding it close to her chest like a child and feeling the warmth resonate through her. A gentle smile made its way to her face.
Suddenly the flame felt burning hot and ice cold at the same time and she gasped in pain, jumping back from it in alarm.

Seeing that he was now at the top edge of the falls, right above the sharp rocks of the pool, Runic stopped. Turning back to the female, he left his little flame hanging in the air where it was and slowly retreated a few steps to the side. He watched as she approached the fire, waiting for the right moment to push her over the edge. Normally, he would convince the victim to jump themselves but he doubted he could influence her that way. In fact, this alone, drawing her up here, shouldn't have been possible. He knew angels were inherently good and believed in the good things in the world, but this one was just plain naive. Innocent, a voice whispered in his head. Nonsense. There's really no such thing as true innocence, except perhaps in small babies.

It was then he realized that she had approached his flame and pulled himself out of his thoughts. He set his eyes on her face and it was like something had smacked full force into his stomach, taking his breath with it. He'd never felt such a thing before, but he couldn't help but staring at her expression. If innocence was such a thing, this would be it, reflected in her bright green eyes, the same color as his fire. She seemed in awe of the flames, even though he expected her to be frightened when she realized what it was. Before he could catch ahold of his spiralling thoughts, she reached out and touched it. A demon fire is a reflection of the caster's soul. Though it could harm mortals without any issue, it was dangerous for a demon to allow an angel to touch it. For a moment, a thought passed through his head to reach forward and push her away from it but when her fingertip brushed it, the thought was lost. He could do nothing but stare as she reached out and hugged it. As she did, he found himself flooded with a warmth he'd never even imagined. He closed his eyes and realized he was quivering so very slightly. It was almost like someone had wrapped a warm, comforting blanket around his heart, his soul. And it terrified him. A demon is not supposed to feel this way. He opened his eyes again and looked at her face. The gentle smile he found there was more than he could handle. With a scowl, he poured his anger into the fire and noted with satisfaction the look on her face as she recoiled. That'll show her, he thought as he positioned himself behind her.

Hope was still staring at the flame in shock when she sensed movement behind her. Spinning around, she found herself face to face with a furious looking man with sharp golden eyes. Who was this man? What was he doing here? How long had he been here? It hadn't occurred to her that this man was the source of the flame or that he intended her harm. In confusion she stared at his hands wrapped around her forearms and then next thing she knew, she was in open air, falling. Looking up at his eyes, it was all she could do to think why? before one of her wings hit a rocky ledge with a sickening crack and a sharp pain shot through her body. As it did, she gasped and let out a piercing cry before her vision went black.

The world slowed down for Runic as the girl's eyes met him, the question so clearly imprinted on her face that it felt like a punch in the chest. He stared as she fell, conflicted with this strange sensation...of pity, perhaps? He somehow felt like maybe there wasn't really a reason to kill her. But she was already falling, so what does it matter if he didn't have to kill her? She was going to die.

Just as he thought this, her wing hit a ledge and broke. Without thinking, he started forward in alarm and when she screamed, he found himself plummeting towards her. Stupid idiot! He thought as he realized what he was doing. Wrapping his arms around her, he extended his wings, clipping the rock cliffs. But they had been falling too fast and the rocks were right below them. Propelling the two of them towards the pool, Runic twisted around, trying to protect the girl from the rocks that jutted out in their path. As they hit the water, he gasped at the shock of the impact. They began sinking immediately and he kicked up, struggling to pull the girl to shore. Once he finally managed to drag her safely onto the rock and sand, he found himself completely drained of energy and his vision wavered. Before he could even think anything else, he was unconscious.

Hope was dimly aware of the cold surface beneath her and a soft warmth beside her. Where was she? What was she doing here? She was cold, and wet, she realized. Opening her eyes, she discovered a face in front of hers. It looked vaguely familiar. Where had she seen it before? As she sat up, her head began to clear and she remembered what had happened. With a gasp, she looked around in fear and then clutched her head in pain.  Looking at her hand, she saw blood. She must have hit her head at some point. She was lying at the edge of the pool, now visible in the pre-dawn light. Looking to the top of the falls, Hope gulped at how far up it was. There was no way she could have survived the fall into the deadly looking rocks below. It was then she recalled the face of the man who pushed her. Looking hesitantly at the man beside her, she realized it was the same man, though she could see him better now. He...saved her? But why? Her head was reeling with the facts of what had happened. Someone pushed her off a cliff, she almost died, and was then saved by the same person who pushed her. It seemed surreal, like something in a story.

When the man beside her shivered she noticed the many cuts and forming bruises on his body, and his clothes had been torn in several places. Reaching out, she shook him urgently.
"Hey, wake up! Are you okay? Wake up!" she called anxiously. She had to help him, he had saved her life! It didn't really matter that he was the one who tried to kill her in the first place, after all, maybe it was an accident or a spur-of-the moment mistake, maybe he had been afraid or...something. Now he was injured and shivering and she only knew she had to help him.

Runic could feel someone shaking him, a woman's voice calling for him to wake up. He could hear concern in her voice. Slowly, he recalled what had happened as he regained consciousness. Cracking open his eyes, he noticed the girl from the night before hovering over him. She was beautiful, her face clearly visible now against the lightening sky. And what was he thinking about that for? A better question is why is she even still here? He tried to kill her and she stuck around to see if he was okay? Opening his eyes further, he noted the relief on her face and with alarm, the blood on her forehead. Slowly pulling himself up into a sitting position, he just stared at her, completely at a loss.

Hope gave a huge sigh of relief as the man's eyes slowly blinked open. So he wasn't on the verge of death or anything, that was good. He seemed to be staring at her and she shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. As he sat up, she noticed his eyes, a bright, captivating gold like she had seen last night. Blinking, she broke eye contact and looked down before looking back at his wounds.
"A-are you okay? You're hurt. I-I'll clean your wounds for you!" she chattered nervously, avoiding his steady gaze.
"You don't need to do that." His voice was deep and captivating, sending chills down her spine. She looked into his eyes hesitatingly, and he blinked at her.
"No, I want to, you saved my life, it's the least I can do!" she said, leaning forward slightly. He seemed somewhat surprised and unsettled at the same time. His face grew dark and he frowned at her.
"I tried to kill you," he said. Hope shuddered a little at the memory and dropped her gaze again. That was true but...
"But you still saved me, so I owe you." She heard a 'tch' from him and looked back up to find him glaring at the pool, his golden eyes cold and glittering. Was he angry?

Runic stared at the rippling surface of the water, his thoughts a jumbled mess. He didn't understand why this woman was still here, why she sought to help him knowing full well he'd tried to kill her. He didn't understand why he had saved her in the first place. Most of all, he didn't understand this feeling in him right now, wanting to reach out and heal her wounds, protect her, and leave her so she could be safe from him, all at the same time. These conflicting feelings were not things he was used to feeling. In fact, he'd never felt them before in his life. They were so foreign to him that he could not name them himself, leaving him more bewildered than before.

This made him angry; he should have just left her alone, or let her die, and he wouldn't be going through this. He'd be back among the elites of his realm, causing chaos and gore on fields of battles that were engineered by his people. The great demon Runic. Instead he was sitting here half-beaten next to this bewildering mortal angel. Fed up, he attempted to stand and found himself on his back again, hissing in pain. He'd hurt himself more than he had realized. Then he felt a warm hand on his arm, sending a shock through his body. Recoiling from the touch, he looked at the woman in surprise.

Hope was nervous, sitting next to her would-be killer with such an expression of fury on his face. But after a moment, she realized he was lost in thought. He seemed to have forgotten for the moment that she was still here, so wrapped up in himself. She considered leaving, while it was safe, but hesitated. She couldn't leave him like this, injured as he was. Just as she was going to say something, he suddenly jumped up only to collapse backwards in pain. Alarmed, she shifted to his side, kneeling over him. He was definitely not okay. Reaching down, she placed a hand on his arm and her eyes widened when he jerked away from her. Her eyes met his golden gaze, surprise etched into them. He still didn't expect her to be there.

Determination swept through her; she was going to help this man, whether he wanted it or not. Pulling his arm over her shoulder, she slipped hers around his back, supporting him as best she could. He stiffened under her touch and struggled.
"Look, I'm helping you here, okay? This would be faster if you would just let me," she pleaded. The man hesitated but eventually gave in, hobbling along in pain as they ascended the gentle slope to the tree line.
