- Firefly Sadira - 10-29-2008 She didn't know what had woken her so early in the morning though she hadn't even attempted to find herself back to sleep. Instead she'd taken the time to walk the borders alone, the silence in the cold chilly dawn was just what she needed for once. The girl was tired of hearing the same old words from every passing yearling with stars dazing their eyes. The poetic words and woeful being were enough to make her sick. She'd never been good at the sweet and sappy version of love, perhaps she still craved it from time to time but she would never show it, atleast not to the swarm of raging hormones that was her generation. Somehow she'd erased childish games and fun from her life in the harsh actions of another against her will, she'd yet to recover those items. Pausing along the edge of the graveyard her ebony tipped ears flickered to a fro as she padded on silent paws through the frosty world. A cold front had come through, washing the cold rain into something more serious, the first snow of the season. She stared at the gravestones as flake by flake began to swirl around her. The sharp bite of winter was in each glittery drop of snow as they nipped at her nose before settled on the world in a light dusting. It wasn't a full blown storm but the soft touch to the world caused her to close her emerald eyes and just stand there all alone.. waiting for something to just happen. - Ember Phoenix - 11-01-2008 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 11-02-2008 Firefly had caught the scent in the crisp autumn air as she made her rounds. She really didn't want to see the ebony female who had caused her to lose stance in the Rosea's eyes. She never had a chance to even try and explain her half of what had happened, Cercelee had long since taken the side of Ember, and perhaps on the default of attacking her own packmember the leader was right, but the reasons for their argument had nothing to do with ranks or packs or even over a boy.. She shook her head, trying to clear the scent from her mind but because the girl was really there the motion did nothing to help. The girl who's coat was like the fire in the treetops of an autumn morn' stepped out into the field from the cover of the woods, the figure before her was only a haunting of the girl she once knew. The two shared one thing in common besides their blood, emerald eyes that could have been twins were there before her as she settled down on her haunches. Firefly didn't hate her sibling, infact she'd always been at ends on why Ember had acted so off towards her since she'd returned from afar, but over time being baffled hadn't been enough and Ember had just become a burr in her side, and she obviously the same to her sibling. Now, she wasn't sure what to think of the girl that looked like the world had used her as a doormat. Firefly's voice called out firmly to the dark pelted Phoenix child, "Once we were told a story of a girl named Ember.. are you trying to become her in everyway?" She wasn't trying to be cruel, but it seemed that her sibling was cursed to follow the same path that belonged to her namesake. She just shook her head silently and sighed. She wasn't normally the one who showed a warm caring heart but she had a feeling the pathedic form before her was going to demand just that to get back that fiery spirit she once possessed. - Ember Phoenix - 11-03-2008 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 11-03-2008 Firefly watched her sibling with mild interest, she knew the girl was of no worries to the pack, that there was little she could or even would do to attempt to even try. At the words that she spoke Firefly's ears flicked back in disbelieve. The dark hued littermate had always been the one who'd been so absorbed with the stories their father told while Iskata had looked on with mild amusement. Iskata's stories had always been more along the lines of fairytales, except the lands in the stories were real and so were the folk. Some had happy endings, some did not. Moreso their father's were happy, except the one about how Ember got her name. "You lie.." she said softly to the girl before her as she shifted from paw to paw, the snow settling on her silky pelt as she went on anyways. "Ember was not only beautiful on the outside but she harbored such a fire on the inside that even when there seemed to be nothing but ash there was still the glowing warmth below that would blossom into something amazing if given the chance.." She turned her emerald eyes back towards her sister as she spoke softly. "Over time the woman seemed to fall away, to hide from the world.. and with time it seemed the world forgot about her.. until it was too late." She narrowed her eyes at the sibling before her. "You really want to fade away and let that fire die? Just because someone hurt you doesn't mean your life's over." She shook her head slowly, not really knowing what to do with the girl anymore. She'd once been just like Firefly, filled with a fierce spirit that the would couldn't tame... she wasn't so certain if the flame still flickered beneith the ashes though. - Ember Phoenix - 11-05-2008 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 11-06-2008 Firefly grinned at her sister as she spoke up, always the one to obsess over the appearances and simple things. Shaking her head slightly, not realizing just how much she probably looked and sounded like their mother for the moment she spoke firmly. "If the boys just want something to look at they're not worth it in the end." She'd already had her fill of boys that drooled over her looks and tried to flatter her with words. She had a short fuse to begin with and after a while all those words just ran together and sounded the same to her. Firefly shook her head again as she went on. "You know there's more than outer beauty, and if you weren't being so pigheaded you'd know you're beautiful anyways. Don't compare the sheen of a raven's feather to the hues of an autumn day, both are beautiful in their own rights." Firefly had never favored her father in anything but those emerald orbs, and she'd left after her brother with no care to what troubles it might bring, the words she'd learned after she'd left had hurt her, that her own father would believe that DaVinci would kidnap her.. but she'd known he'd never trusted the silvery hybrid. When Ember went on with her retort on how she was fine Firefly laughed softly. She narrowed her eyes at Ember as she grinned and moved out of Ember's way. "You've always been a horrible liar Ember, don't make a habit of it.." she said with a sigh. Shaking the snowflakes from her pelt she paused a moment and stared into those identical emerald eyes as she said softly. "Yeah. Who else is going to protect you from brothers.." She teased. Tilting her head to the side, towards the gardener's home in the vineyards she'd claimed as her den she stated simply. "Come on.." - Ember Phoenix - 11-10-2008 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 11-12-2008 They moved slowly towards the vineyards as the snow whirled around them, the biting cold trying to work itsway into their pelts as both girls seemed to have a million thoughts rolling in their heads. Firefly hadn't seen her sibling since the day she'd run for what she believed was her life, and at the time she could have cared less where the girl had gone, but now she was rather curious. She was silent of course instead of asking, just letting the cold flakes take over the world around them as the soft patter of their paws and the breath in the air spoke wonders. When Ember finally took the notion to speak again Firefly's eyes turned to gaze into the twin orbs of her sibling as she spoke. She didn't have much to say on the notion of male fancy but she smiled weakly and shook her head at the question asked. "No, I haven't seen him since a few weeks after you'd left here.. and that was the only time I'd ever seen him." Firefly's eyes moved off the woman as she stared across the vineyards, a sigh fluttered from her breast as she tried to answer the second half. "I'm not sure if you could say I've found someone... I don't know what we are, it's something all right." she said bitterly. Haku and her relationship was all touch and go, but it was true.. it was passion and yet destruction rolled into one. It was something. - Ember Phoenix - 11-18-2008 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 11-18-2008 Firefly just quirked a brow at her sibling for a moment and was silent. She really didn't think that Ember wanted the finer details of her personal life and she wasn't exactly offering them right now. She just gave a small simple smile as she nodded, more to herself than her sibling as they finally stood before the small cottage that one time the gardener of the vineyards had lived in, now Firefly's parttime home. While Ember spoke of where she'd been Firefly raised her eyes off the building for a moment and back to her sister. She asked quietly, "Why don't you just come back? Winter's coming.." She knew that Cercelee would be thrilled to see the ebony girl again, and though Firefly herself wasn't sure how she'd feel with the truth of it all she'd rather not see any of her family roughing it in the coming season. Her eyes flicked back to the house as she went on. "Or you could stay with mother, atleast for the winter.." They both knew full and well that Iskata would have taken in any of her children without so much as a second thought and perhaps Ember would be safe there.. Firefly couldn't be sure that even existed in Dahlia de Mai. He might might have been a million miles away but she still found it easy to laugh at the simplicity of her sister as she tried to find the right placement for the place Firefly had chosen. "Yeah.. you'd have expected something a little more savage?" Truthfully Firefly didn't visit the cottage too often in the summer or fall months but with the nip of winter she knew the warmth of the fire and a nice place to curl up would be worth the expense of being almost human. - Ember Phoenix - 11-19-2008 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 11-21-2008 Firefly smiled as Ember admitted she hadn't even known the place had existed, that in itself had been part of the reason Firefly had been attracted to the small cottage, hidden amongst the vineyards and gardens it was a secret in the middle of their whole world. "When you have a lot of time on your hands and things on your mind.. you tend to find the hidden secrets." She said softly, the words were a little bitter, but they were the truth. The way the pack had deminished so much had caused enough problems, but the female herself was tired of feeling lonely.. even Haku had become scarce once more.. which really didn't surprise her.. and it seemed she was growing numb to his waves of attention though she wouldn't admit it just yet. She flicked her eyes back to Ember as she asked if she could stay there with her. Firefly would have allowed her but after a moment she shook her head. "We'd have to ask Cercelee or Haku.. things have.. changed." With the disappearances of the disbanding packs, the uneasy peace between Inferni and Dahlia de Mai and their own dwindling numbers the pack had started to board up for the winter and unlike before not just anyone was welcome anymore. Firefly was sure that the icy ivory woman would allow her sibling back into the pack but she wouldn't make promises she couldn't live up to. - Ember Phoenix - 11-29-2008 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 12-02-2008 Firefly nodded to the words her sibling spoke. She could understand, the two of them together for too long tended to result in one or the other being rubbed the wrong way. She raised her eyes to the sky above before moving to the porch and opening the cottage door for her sister. "I talk to one of them in the morning.." She tilted her head towards the warm room within. "com'mon.." She said with an impatient sigh. She knew her sister was just being stubborn but in her own way she could understand. - Ember Phoenix - 12-06-2008 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 12-08-2008 Firefly watched the sibling before her as she smiled softly. She could tell her sister was uncomfortable in the place Firefly called home when she wasn't called to the chambers of the Lilium. Her fingers traced the mantle above the fireplace where the coals still burned softly. Tossing two logs upon the ashes she watched as sparkles flew into the air before settling down again, the coals suddenly bursting into flames as they worked along the length of the wood. The heat suddenly seemed to double as she wondered just why some shied so from the world of the nearly extinct humans. Brushing away bits of bark from her palms she shrugged as she stretched across one of the loveseats, like a leopard she lounged there, her prowling eyes amused by the discomfort of her blood. "It works well enough.." she said as she pulled one of the many throws off the back of the couch and picked at the soft fabric, her eyes studying the girl before her, wondering but not asking the question her eyes spoke so loudly, why did you return.. It was like the angry child she'd once been greeted with had disappeared and now some shell was standing before her. She wasn't certain she'd liked the child she'd known, but anything was probably better than this ghost of a thing. - Ember Phoenix - 12-15-2008 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 12-15-2008 -my brain doesn't work sometimes when I write replies.. blame it on writing so many at once.- Firefly sat there snug in her wrappings as she waited for Ember to settle in somehow. She knew that new places were strange and awkward the first time one stepped foot inside but she figured with time that the girl would adapt. Firefly had lived in the old castle across the sea when the clan had adopted her into their home, it had been a strange new adventure and in time it had begun to feel like home, the cold damp stone walls, cool in the summer and warm in the winter with the large blazing hearths. Her home here was nothing compared to the castle but it was enough. She watched quietly as the girl began to warm herself before the fireplace a soft smile upon her lips as she herself was beginning to feel the fire's effects. Though while the fire merely warmed the woman before the mantle the lady lounging on the couch was close to sleep this moment. Ember's voice peeked her ears as she opened one eye and watched the girl as she explained her intentions and asked of Firefly's plans herself. A jaw cracking yawn showed her brilliant fangs and pink tongue as she shook her head. "I should be here, unless Haku needs me." She didn't make the comment sound anymore than the leader might need her to patrol again rather than the truth of what Haku normally called on the bronze hued woman for. |
