[Jacob]

*Setting: The midnight glare of the moons beamed down upon the three travellers as they headed away from the crash site of the Vykkers Airship. Alei walked behind the other two creatures, watching them suspiciously and with great caution. Tobias was infront, holding his laser cannon with both hands he strided proudly, knowing he had protection in the form of Alei. Sasha on the other hand bimbled along, muttering to herself like that of a mentally crippled person. She had her arms folded and her wings retracted and as she walked she stumbled in all directions. Her scarred tail dragging on the ground behind her.*

Tobias: "So, where are we going??"

He turned around and began to walk backwards, his gun pointing upwards so not to cause alarm to Sasha or Alei. Sasha looked up at him and continued muttering to herself, her ramblings incoherant and quiet.

Alei: "It is not of your concern at the moment. I shall tell you when we arrive."

Sighing the Orkhid turned back around and continued walking, he looked up at the silky, black sky and stared at the diamond like stars. A growl came from behind him as Sasha knocked into him, causing Tobias to stumble forwards. She then continued growling and snarling, drool coming from one corner of her snout.

Tobias: "Whats wrong with her? How the Hell will she be able to help me like that??"

Alei sighed and stepped past the growling crossbreed. Its glowing yellow eyes glanced her up and down.

Alei: "She should go back to normal soon..."

Tobias: "How do you know she wasn't like this to begin with? She was with the Vykkers..."

Stepping upto her the Sarraphin stroked the side of her face with its index finger.

Alei: "Its because she was close to death. She was going to the light and i had to drag her back...thus her confusion and brief case of insanity. Like i said, she will come back to normal. Whether it be hours, days or weeks. Until she does, we'll have to act fast..."

Tobias stepped over to an upturned root and carefully sat down on it, making sure it took his weight before seating himself properly.

Tobias: "What you mean we'll have to "act fast"?"

Sasha began stratching the back of her hands and barking to herself. Seemingly oblivious to everything around her.

Alei: "She wont aid us willingly, we'll have to find someway to bribe her, or use her somehow..."

It slowly stepped over to her and cooed softly in her ear. She pined and growled gently.

Tobias: "And how do we find that out? She's not with it...look at her, if i shot her in the leg she wouldn't realise."

He spoke as the Sarraphin ran its left hand over Sasha's hair, stroking it and caressing it. It ran its right hand over her wings, stroking the boney structure. It ignored Tobias' question and merely demonstrated without explanation, its left hand ran up Sasha's body and over her head again, this time stopping on the crown of her scalp. Its claws dug into her scalp and electricity ran throughout her head. She jerked and gargled, her eyes shining white and electricity flowing around her. Alei's mouth widened and his eyes flashed, throwing her forwards and onto her stomach it turned to Tobias and purred.

Alei: "She wants to know what she is...What breed of being. All we have to do is get that information and make her help us for it..."

Grumbling the crossbreed attempted to pull herself back onto her feet.

Tobias: "So? We dont know where to get that information from, cant we just lie? Say we know and play along...?"

Slowly the black being shook its head as it looked down on Sasha who was now getting to her feet.

Alei: "No, she'll ask for proof and we'll have to give her it..."

It growled lowly and looked up, watching the stars sparkle.

Alei: "We'll have to break into an Orkhid laboratory and retrieve the results..."

Slowly the Orkhid stood up and approached the Sarraphin, ignoring the mumblings that Sasha spouted. His face was crossed with pure disbelief.

Tobias: "What?? No way!! I'm not going back to anywhere like that, i could be recaptured...no...im not taking that risk. And besides, they could have destroyed that info...they usually d-eack..."

Before he could finish his sentence the lone hand of the Sarraphin had clasped around his vocal cords, choking him and slowly raising him off of the ground.

Alei: "My kind created your kind. We studied life from the moment it began...We watched as it evolved...we know everything there is to know from breeding patterns to behavioral changes...Orkhids always keep information, that info is always accessible by every laboratory of Orkhid nature...Dont think you have the upper hand because your one of them..."

It threw Tobias back and turned to Sasha smiling.

Alei: "Lets go and find out what you are..."
