Twilights Curse

The Day The Earth Fell

feeling her tightening against him more, he held her even tighter if that was possible, making sure he was her shield from what Jacob was doing to end this, and end it fast. hearing her laugh, Tobias smiled. "hm" he said, no need to worry about being overheard, it was only them and they wernt talking loudly. "perhaps so, i certainly wouldnt say no" and he wouldnt have, while to him he was sure no one knew of his 'feelings' toward their leader, but more then likely it was noticed, and he would admit the teasing and enuendos of hers didnt help her case, if anything it made him desire her more.

with her laugh cut short, and he heard her hiss of pain. "im sorry" and he moved, leaning over her more, tightening around her. "im sorry" and he was, she had gotten hurt, and then her cry as she was obviously hit again, Tobias growled in his annoyance of not protecting her properly and then she burned her head underneath his, he tucked it against her.. then hearing her he chanced a laugh. "if that is required, you'll do it.. but to make it easier, i will suffer a shower with you, i will put my own needs aside to be there for you in your time of need" he smiled, like it would be that much a chore for him, hell like it would be with anyone, most would jump at the chance and he was one of them, more so then anyone else he'd put money on it.

poor Russian guy. he wakes up and finds out hes become swiss cheese.. such a shame..lol.. i've been holding off on posting so others could, i dont want to be a post hog..

The Day The Earth Fell

Tobias smiled at her comment about not getting to see him anymore. "your too stubborn to get killed, but still i would worry" ripping one dead in half, before crushing its head. he looked back at her, seeing her grinning at him. "what?" he asked, not sure why she was grinning like that as he continued to cut a path toward her, hearing her give the okay to Jacob, Tobias knew this battle, something done on purpose by unknowns or naturally occuring was going to be ended quickly, and if anyone was watching they were about to get a taste of what true power Paradise had and would use to protect itself and its people.

moving toward Ravenia, plowing down Dead with punches and well placed elbows.. his shirt and pants covered in claw and bite marks, but his body unharmed underneath. he wondered why she had stopped, his eyes widened when he saw one massive zombie, the Russian recovering in the room would pale compared to this one, and that was saying something.. Tobias kicked his feet harder. "Ravenia" he said, seeing her drop to the ground and she fell in front of him, but seeing that smile and then her vanishing he shook his head, and he bit back words he wanted to say, but watched as she flew up out of the big man's shadow. "hello big guy" Tobias said, just as the twin rapiers pierced through its head. "goodbye big guy" he grumbled out in that deepened voice of his. "showing off now?" he asked, before laughing. "oh if i followed you there my virtue might come into question" teasing right back as she backed up into his chest and he wrapped his arms around her tightly. "yes he is, and i wouldnt ask you to do that, my weight alone would tire you" he bent closer, his head right up against her ear, his hot breath against her neck for just a moment so he could whisper. "im not stranger to radiation, we will live to fight another day" he said, knowing he was burning hot and not knowing that she was comforted by it. he crouched down. "tuck your legs up the moment we are off the ground" he said, before he put all of his strength into his legs, and kicked up. as it was, her sides and legs would be unprotected, and while the blast and radiation should hit him and fly off and around him, he didnt want to take that chance, so the next best thing.. they would sore into the air a good ten feet, and hoping she picked her legs up, his weight would pull them down even faster then they shot up, and when he hit the ground it gave away to the stronger force, and created a large enough hole. leaning over with her tucked against him and secured enough now in the depression he had made from dropping, he held her tightly, his body now the shield as the first blast of heat came and slammed against his back. with no nerve endings he felt nothing as the radiation and heat slammed against him.

he moved not a muscle, keeping her tucked against him as tightly as he could without crushing her. "and here i thought my first time holding a woman like this it be a romantic setting and we both wouldnt be covered in gore.. and out in the open. just goes to show you fate is a fickled bitch who likes a good laugh doesnt it?" he asked, his voice a little muffled since he was compressed around her as he was.

The Day The Earth Fell

Tobias crashed his way through the dead like they were nothing, his fist leaving holes or nothing behind after they hit, his steps, each one like the crashing of a boulder crushing the dead that were unlucky to have been under his feet. he never once enjoyed the killing he was some times forced to do, but a necessary evil when faced with the chance of having the city over run and people getting hurt. the moment a hole had been cleared, he looked over, hearing Ravenia's question and seeing her laugh afterwards left him thinking perhaps he wasnt going to get 'much' of a talking to about orders. he moved toward her while she came to him, and stopped.. she was staring at him and intently to, he wanted to speak up and say that he wouldnt look like he did forever, only after the threat was gone.

when she took and touched his arm, her hand running down it, he'd have given anything to have felt that touch, it looked tender and delicate, but with this form feeling wasnt something he had, mainly cause there was no nerve endings attached, but it looked sincere, her touch. to her touch, he'd feel smooth, like someone had polished and buffed him and hot, extremely hot.. the extra density caused for a massive build up of heat stored underneath the protection, which slowly seeped out of his body, eventually if it became a problem or threatened him, his ability would react and change him in some way, shape or even form again. when she moved oddly and his eyes tore from her to look up, seeing the dead tugging at her cape, he planned to move, but she clearly had that one covered and taken down in a matter of moments. "came to join a crazy woman intent to either get herself.." he stopped for a moment to catch and twist the head of a nearby dead clean off, and throw it away while its body dropped. "killed or doing this to get my attention" his voice was deeper, the compression of his new form was compressing his vocal cords, making them less tight, which caused a deeper voice. "second time today and likely not the last i come to join you, knowing you as well as i do" he spun around, his hand coming around with a haymaker of a punch, and plowing through three dead, their rotted guts covering his arm as he pulled it back. "i rather like you in my sights, i wasnt found of finding you out here alone" seeing her wink and watched her with those deadly swords of hers, the way she moved, everything about her was deadly, and so damned inticing. once she was done showing him up, he rolled his eyes and bent forward. "Come here you" grabbing a semi solid dead.. hefting him up, he tossed the thing like a missile, sending it flying into the herd, knocking rows of the rotting corpses down and clearing a wider space for them. "lets do it then" he said completely in agreement, he didnt want anymore harmed and having the citizens worry about dead so close to their precious haven. as he went about crushing and killing, he heard Jacob, turning his head to see where he was, then the question came, he wanted to go 'skinless' meaning he was getting tired of the one on one killing and wanted to go full on boom. Tobias stomped hard, crushing the dead under his feet. "dont worry about me Jacob, i'll survive it" he yelled out, sounding more like the old generator they had, his voice so deep and odd. with the question posed, if yes was given Tobias made his way toward Ravenia, so if need be he could shield her from the blast. was he sure he could take that kind of radiation from Jacob, not in the least bit.. but with Tobias he knew he could absorb radiation or at least block it, his body had done that before, and if it had did it once, it knew how to do it again if presented with the situation.

The Day The Earth Fell

okay, so i could not describe the change at all and how he now looks for the moment.. sorry, im having an odd day.. forgive me.. here is the image cause i know in the post i made its not detailed enough.

Dead killing body

The Day The Earth Fell

Taking the tiniest of moments to collect himself, he rose back up from leaning against the counter just in time to feel Ravenia's hand on his arm gently, he smiled down at her. "dont do anything foolish now, if i have to come save your ass, i'll never let you live it down" he called after her, before he smirked, seeing Marcus bolt into the building he then gave a true smile. he walked over and stood, giving the man a clap on the back, whisper just for him to hear "Good Man" before leaving him to it. yes Marcus was vital to the wall and defense of the city but right now in Tobias's eyes to hell with the wall, Shay needed to see him, needed to know he cared enough to make sure she was alright, and she was going to be fine. stopping his nurse, he wanted to make sure the Children were alright, and when she gave them a clean bill of health that just made the mental puzzle he had, have a few pieces fall into place, while revealing new pieces that yet had a place. thanking her, he then headed down to the room the Children had been placed in, when he noticed the door was closed, that wasnt right, no doors were closed, they always used the Curtains.. Tobias was nursing a small fear of tight, enclosed spaces. Curtains moved with the air, they were opened at the bottom and tops, Doors were solid, he didnt like doors closed. in his mind, he flashed back to that time, Seven years old, a child in the Red Wastes.. he and his Father were with a small group of Nomads, travelers that banded together.. nothing special, just people realizing there was strength in numbers. Tobias didnt like meeting new people, his gift always made people afraid of him.. that night he had been sitting with his father, sharing the days rations and one of the watcher's, who thought himself funny had snuck up behind Tobias, intending to scare him.. and he had.. the moment he jumped and grabbed Tobias, Tobias screamed, thinking it was a Dead.. he'd met them before with his father. he reacted, his skin became as tough as rock, looking almost like the texture of rock and was as tough as rock too.. he screamed, scaring the others and trashed and swung his arms trying to get away.. in a span of a few seconds he had broken the guys arm, and had cleaned his father's clock, catching him across the face with a wild hand. the group hadnt known of Tobias's abilty, and it frightened them, everything frightened those in the Waste.. Tobias was taken that night, his father was held down and they dropped Tobias in a hole, the remains of a dried up well, but it was still deep enough.. he screamed, cried, his body changing over and over again to try to adapt to the situation. he screamed himself horse when Morning came, and his father had climbed down, using some rope and got him out.. but the fear had stuck.. they didnt meet and stay with people and groups after that, the stayed on their own and Tobias never found out how his father had gotten free, but nights later some newly risen dead would have been found around that camp.

moving to the door, Tobias reached for the knob, but stopped.. Ravenia's words playing in his mind as he supressed that paticular memory of his past. he dropped his hand, if they wanted the door closed, it was fine.. if they tried to leave, well they'd have to come out.. none of the windows opened fully and they'd been barred, just for that paticular situation, couldnt question someone if they could climb out your windows. turning quickly from the door, he went back to where it was all open.. Clo was still resting and recovering, the Russian was going strong but still out of it, a good thing that.. he changed the empty blood for a fresh and full one, then hooked up the Saline drip in the other arm, before covering the man up so he could at least have some form of modest when he woke. Shay was fine and with friends and those that she needed. with nothing else to do, he moved back to his desk, but stopped and went instead to where Shay was. "Marcus im going to go take your place at the wall, you stay here for as long as you need to" he said, meaning it.. the man didnt ask for anything, and worked his ass off, since they were on lock down anyway, there would be no need for opening and closing the doors. "those children are not to leave" looking at Marcus, Fen, Sun and Isam. "Mother wants them to stay put til she can question them, things are not adding up right with all of this. the big man is out cold, and Clo will probably needs more rest, but wake her if you need help with anything alright, everything else, the nurses can handle" and with that he left, sprinting out of the med Center and toward the wall. his bare feet hitting against the ground as he ran forward, grabbing a rope he scaled the side of the wall, and came up and checked out the situation. "damn" even with the killed the two harpies and Jacob had taken down, the mass of them was still large, far larger then Tobias could remember.. noticing movement out among them, he cursed full on, not something he did often. "Son of a Bitch, who let her go out there like that?" seeing Ravenia on her own. "i swear she's trying to get herself killed" and before anyone could stop him, he ran and lept off the side of the wall, dropping right into a large mass of Dead

where he had dropped right into a mass of Dead had collected, those nearest the point of impact was sent stumbling back, then they were forced down to the ground as those behind them moved forward. Tobias rose to his full height and in the span of the drop, he'd changed, and not for the better looking.. he hated fighting the Dead cause, his body protected and adapted to their bites and clawing, and the change wasnt the greatest to look at. he looked as if someone had turned him inside side out, what looked like Muscle and Bone visible, but really it was just his flesh having changed and hardened to protect him from the fall and the Dead collecting around him. he was black and Grey in color.. the muscle looking fibers in between what looked like bone was black, while the bone like covering was a darker Grey. luckly he still had on clothes to keep most of himself covered, only what was exposed was visible. from behind, one of the dead he'd sent flying into he wall from his drop moving and caught him, and tried biting on his shoulder, her rotted teeth shattering, her nails breaking as she tried to claw and dig in, tearing his shirt.. grabbing her head, Tobias pulled her up and over and tossed her away like she was nothing. Tobias kicked his foot out straight ahead, catching one right in the chest.. the force alone would have sent the undead thing flying backwards if it hadnt exploded on contact. he saved fighting as a last resort, prefering to save lives, but seeing Ravenia on her own among all those dead, that had changed big time. stepping forward, he caught two coming in at the sides and slammed them together, their heads like melons being hit, and exploding, he didnt even waste time letting them drop, as he moved forward into the frey, kicking and punching anything that came close to him. he wasnt moving fast however and each step he took left a good print in the hard earth, he was heavy, extremely heavy. a side effect, speed was Sacrificed for strength and endurance.

The Day The Earth Fell

the posts are going great, even that forced one you claim to have put up there Exit..lol.. didnt look forced to me at all. i want to post so bad but i gotta wait for Cheshire to come back

The Day The Earth Fell

TOBIAS

giving a quick smirk to her joke, which believe it or not was needed. in all the seriousness they had tossed on them in such a short time, to be able to joke helped.. a lot. "well, if we were alone, i can think of a couple places for your hands to be" looking back at her, he wasnt one to come outright and flirt back so boldly, but the occasion called for it and he wanted to see how'd she react to what he said. after that, they got serious, and while she kept each wound area cleaned, he extracted one after the other of this big man's modified nails he'd been filled with.. each wound had been cleaned out, and then using a technique he had developed himself, he sewed the wound closed in a way that would close it up from the inside as he moved upward. he and Ravenia worked well together, his mind and hands doing their things while she did what she needed. he smiled at her and offered a thanks when she dabbed his brow, this little rooms when closed off got extremely hot, but right now that was helping.

Finally with a tray full of bloody nails, and a floor covered in bloody towel, and discarded thread pieces, Tobias was on the last wound, making the final few stitches that would close the wound up. when she said what was on her mind, Tobias sighed. "i couldnt tell you really, unless he's a Blessed One and can heal, moving him could tear these stitches open Ravenia, and i cant do that, but you are right" and she was, this guy was an unknown, one of many they'd had thrown onto them since the morning, and if there was one thing none of them liked, it was unknown variables. last Stitch done, Tobias sighed, and wrapped the wound.. the man had enough bandages he looked like a checker board but he was stablized. done, he sat his tools down and looked at Ravenia "you are right, there is more to all of this, its not sitting right with me either" he said softly. "already my mind is working on figuring out this puzzle, and it keeps coming back to one thing" he said. "there are two things that keep coming to mind" grabbing a clean towel off the depleted pile and walking over he pushed Ravenia's hair off her face gently, pushing it behind her ear, before he wiped her brow down. "if you were going to test the defences, reaction times, patrol patterns and attack strength of someone, you'd present them with something that would force them to respond, and then you sit back and watch" he said, which could be the dead currently on their way, not knowing that they'd already arrived. "and secondly, the Trojan Horse, it didnt turn out so good for those it was used on" when she said that she would kill the man if he presented a threat, and if the Kids were the same what she'd do, Tobias nodded. "i know you will without hesitation, and if this guy or those kids out there are a threat, i'll be right along side you, helping to remove that threat" he said.

back in the room with the children, the nurse smiled. "Well you two surely are lucky ducks" winking and smiling.. her checking them up had went flawlessly, they were fine for the most part.. she'd left them for a moment, only to come back with two plates of food, actual food and two cups, the potion to help them rest was in the water. "now, Tobias wants you to drink at least half of the water, it will help you sleep and relax, so eat as much as you can the both of you, then drink your water and you lay down and rest" he smiled, and clearly she was a mother cause she moved forward and kissed the top of their heads, much like a mother would. "if you need anything, you just call out and someone will come alright" she smiled, and left them to it.. Tobias would pull back the curtain to the room, sighing. "take and dispose of these please" handing the tray of bloody nails to the nurse, along with the bag of bloody rags and trash he had picked up off the floor, it would have to be cleaned up later, but right now the majority was up. when he heard Shay speaking, and knowing Ravenia would be coming, he walked over to where she laid and walked in. "Well now" he said, smiling as he walked over to her, he placed a hand on Fen's shoulder. "you should know, you saved his life Fen" meaning the Russian.. "he wasnt going to last much longer bleeding like that, but we caught it i think, all he needs now is time.. when he wakes im going to let him know it was you that saved his life" then moving to the side of the bed, he took Shay's hand gently, checking her pulse and smiling. "if we all didnt already know this Shay, i'd say you are about one of the hard headed and stubborn women we got around here, right up there with the winged runners and our 'runs when its check up time' Mother" he said. "you talking is a good sign, really good" he said, smoothing her hair back. "pulse is good, color is returning slowly.. the pain will start to fade and your body will chill really quick, then go to warm.. til that happens, your to stay in bed, that leg is going to take a week or two to heal up properly" removing his hand from her head, he smiled at her. "and i think im going to have to pull my Doctor powers out, and order Marcus to come here and see you" winking playfully, before he left her to it.. checking in on Clo was easy, she was out cold and resting, finally one harpie that actually listened to him, if only the other two would. taking a moment, he walked to the counter behind his desk, facing the wall he leaned against it and closed his eyes and just took a moment to collect himself, not that he could take to long, there were things that still needed doing.

MICHAEL

Michael laid on his stomach in his bedroom, his hand rubbing his extremely sore ass, his aunt hadnt let him off this time, she was mad, he could tell cause moving made the belt whipping seem like it was still going on. when she got him home, she made him tell where all of the stuff was, and when he didnt want to, she looked through his room and found his stash of 'found' items under his bed. inside the old, worn hard suitcase was a first aid kit from the med center, three throwing knives he'd found that belong to Anora, a slingshot and a bag of rocks that went with it that one of the other kids had 'misplaced' and a lot of mismatched things that had been taken from other people. she had taken it all and was planning on giving it all back, the ass whippin had come when he blurted out "do you know how long it took me to steal all that stuff!" which was a big mistake, one he was paying for now. so he laid in bed, pouting cause after she laid into him, he was grounded, he couldnt do anything but go out to school with the other children, then head straight home. a small victory, she hadnt found his command center, that was still safe, but if she did what she said she was going to and take him to Mother herself, he'd be in trouble, he couldnt lie to the leader of Paradise, he was a warrior of Paradise, and that meant he had to follow orders.

The Day The Earth Fell
