A Winter to Freeze Your Heart RP

[Faiyloe]

Vatra ran after Ervoyce he was the only thing she could see clearly the white snow and the half dead trees all blurred together in a crimson haze.  She didn't know how many vermin she killed. She just knew that She had to get to Ervoyce.   

[Dannflower Reguba]

OOC: Okay, are you trying to get yourself captured? Because this is just ridiculous.  I don't know about anyone else, but if you plan on having Hail used as a hostage against Redwall, I'm not going to care, I tried hard enough to get you out so if hail dies that's on your head. BIC:

     It was working, but Hail was gone. There was nothing he could do about that now, Ervoyce turned and backed his way through the dancing blades yet again while shouting at Vatra once again, "Hey slowpoke! You gonna help me or not!" He took off, hoping to draw her charge straight through the vermin mass and into the woods where he could lead her in circles until she calmed down.

[Faiyloe]

Vatra let out an enraged growl and charged after him braking out of the main group of vermin. Her cheek was bleeding and she had a nasty cut on her left forearm but she hardly noticed. 

Edit: OOC: What he did is not half so bad as what you are doing! Getting Vatra angry at you is like... *Tries to think of an example but can't* Lest just say it is very dangerous.

Jantar had seen Brokentooth come back with Hail. She hurried after him. She wanted to be there when Grund decided what to do with him!

     Ervoyce breathed a sigh of relief, Vatra was out of the crowd, the vermin would never catch them in the forest. He found a tree that would serve as a start for a branching run, and surged into the branches. Constantly checking to make sure he didn't lose Vatra, he started them on their way back to Redwall.

[Faiyloe]

Vatra quickly fallowed quickly leaving the vermin behind as she darted threw the trees after Ervoyce. After a few minutes of this without any combat she began to see more clearly and feel the cut in her arm. her anger subsided and she realized what she was doing. She missed her footing a fell from the tree in to a snow bank. She didn't care she just curled up in a ball and started Sobbing. Why did he have to come after her... why. Now Hail was missing probably captured and she had almost killed Ervoyce. It had felt so liberating being alone in the forest not having to worry whether or not you would turn on your friends in a fit of rage. Then he cam back and I almost killed him. I almost killed him...

OOC: Alright.

BIC: Not finding Zhui in the Orchards, Arya decided to try the Lawns. Ahah! There he has, sparring. She sighed, "Does he ever quit fighting? She stepped in, holding up her dagger so that the blades would clash against it, or take off her paw. "Um, is one of you Zhu? I need to talk to him about the defenses."

Zu caught a kick from Kogane and span the marten round, sending him face-planting into the snow. He turned to Arya and bowed "Konnichiwa, I am Zhuangjia De" Kogane got up and brushed the snow of his front. The marten picked up his armour and began to buckle it back on.

[Cornflower MM]

Um, konnichaw? So, do you have any ideas? We can start training the Redwallers In sword fighting, dagger fighting, bow and arrows..."

OOC:Misspelled on purpose, Jet.

Ervoyce had noticed Vatra's calming, and hooked back around when she fell. He let her be by herself for a moment before quietly approaching from behind. Upon reaching his comrade he gently laid a hand on her shoulder, then knealed in front of her, "You know, I was always confused around you, but I think I'm starting to understand.... You blame yourself for everything don't you?" He stared deep into her eyes and continued, "Vatra, everybeast has their limits, you're not immortal, you're finite just like the rest of us. I used to think that I had to be perfect too, it was a miserable life. You know what freed me from that? The Redwallers, they taught me to accept mistakes and that's when I changed. You need to change too, you can't solve everything, and running from the problem isn't going to make it better. Knowing you, I don't think that you want to hurt your friends, and you've convinced yourself that leaving is the best way to do that. Do you even realize that leaving them is going to hurt even more? Your help is needed, you're a fighter, don't bail on those who care about you most when they need your help." His expression softened as he stood up, "I know what it's like to be angry at yourself and others, obviously I can't compare with what you have to deal with, but let not only myself, but everybeast else help." He held out a hand to the demoralized beast before him and gave her a reassuring grin, "So what do you say? Are you done running?"

[Faiyloe]

Vatra sniffed and rubbed a tear from her eye with the back of her paw. She looked up into Ervoyce's eyes. "You don't think I'm a monster?" She said in a wavering voice. She sat up taking his paw. With a small wavering smile on her face. There was a moment of silence then she said her voice stronger this time "I'll come back with you,"   

[Dannflower Reguba]

     Ervoyce breathed a sigh of relief as he assisted Vatra in standing up, "There are few beasts that I would ever count a monster, and you're no where near any of them, you try to help others to the extent that you were willing to leave behind such a wonderful place as Redwall, that takes something that no beast has." He smiled and nodded, "I'm sure everyone else will be pleased that you've returned."

[Faiyloe]

"Thank you," Vatra said getting up "I have always admired how calm and level headed you can be," She bent to pick up her "javelin" and the pain of her wounds caught up with her. She examined a nasty wound on her left arm and winced. Salt tiears mingled with the blood on her cheek casing the cut to sting and her cloak was ripped in several places some from running threw the trees and others from the battle. Her scarf had come mostly undone and now hung in an overly loss lopsided manner. "I am a mess," She said looking down at her self.     

[Dannflower Reguba]

Ervoyce picked a few rolled up dockleaves from his belt and passed them to Vatra, "Never hurts to carry a couple a' these, come in handy at the oddest of times." He waited a moment, listening intently trying to discern the whereabouts of the foe, "We'd best be on our way, no time to waste, you ready? Your wounds can be looked after better at Redwall anyway."

[Faiyloe]

"Thanks," Vatra said ripping a strip from the end of her cloak and using it to tie the dock leaves over the wound and then started off in to the woods. she stopped and then said "Wait I have no idea where we are... We probably shouldn't go directly back to Redwall anyway. We will lead the vermin right to it!" 

[rachel25]

Zanga had decided that just standing around wasn't going to help much. He needed to do something, anything!
Arya is sort of in charge of defences, I can ask her what she wants me to do.
