“Its to early to be moving around!” Alex complained. She had been doing so ever since she had woken up early that morning.


“Its high noon you lazy bum!” Ciera retorted annoyed she had just about enough of her complaining to last a lifetime. (And for a night elf that’s a long time)

“Were almost there, I can smell the ocean.” Kane perked his cat ears a little “And I can hear the gulls.” He had transformed into his panther form so that if they were attacked be it horde or other enemies ‘Like bears’ Kane thought with a sniff, he would be ready for it.

“Where are we going to go after this?” Alex asked yawning.

“Well the creatures here are far to weak for our level of skill, so were heading to Strangle Thorn Vale.” Ciera replied.

“Sounds good to me.” Kane picked up pace a bit to get away from Ciera’s pet. “Ow!!! Damn it Ciera tell your pet to stop OW biting my tail!”

Glancing back Ciera giggled, Kalin was nipping at Kane’s behind.

Finally having enough of Kalin’s playfulness Kane spun around with a snarl and tackled Kalin.

“Hey! Stop it you two! Don’t make me come back there!” Alex growled as they tumbled into the back of her knees, nearly making her lose her balance. “Stop it I sai-“ The fur ball once again rolled into her legs only this time Alex fell back into them with a cry.

“Ah here we are.” Ciera smiled looking down at the town from the small hill they now stood on. “Guys stop it we’re here!”

Alex was growling like a cat herself as she wrestled with the other two, they in turn wrestled back.

“He…Hey! Watch out-!” To late the three rolled right down the slope of the hill.

“I’m surrounded by idiots…” Ciera sighed and started down the hill after them.

In the chaos of the fall Kane had transformed back into his elf form and landed with a”Oof!” on his back.

Alex followed suit only landing on top of Kane, her head came to a rest on his shoulder and her legs on either side of his hips slightly straddling the disoriented elf.

Kalin came to a stop five feet from them unconscious.

“I’m sorry..” Alex turned pink and started to lift herself from Kane only to be stopped be a strong hand on her wrist.

“Are you hurt?” He asked pulling her down to him again so he could see for himself.

“N…no. I…I’m fine.” Alex was now blushing furiously his face close to hers, mismatched eyes locked with his.

“Good.” Kane leaned forward and brushed his lips across her left cheek lightly.

“Ok Ok break it up you two!” Ciera said with a smirk as she bent down and picked up her pet, slinging him over her shoulders. “Now look what you did! You guys made Kalin pass out because your perverted acts!” Ciera started laughing her silver eyes twinkling.

Alex and Kane both stood up abruptly. Alex looking down embarrassed while Kane just chuckled and brushed himself off.

“Well you two were to ‘distracted’ to know, but we’re here.” Ciera said motioning with her head toward the town.

“So we are! Well common then lets go I’m hungry!” Alex urged them to move, trying to get their minds off what had just happened between her and Kane. They complied and started toward the Inn in the distance.” So how long are we here for?”

“I would say a week at least.” Ciera replied.

“What?! Why so long?!” Alex exclaimed.

“Because we need time to get our armor prepared, weapons sharpened and plus I like the ocean.” Ciera shrugged.

Finally they reached the Inn. Ciera reached forward and opened the door to be greeted by laughter and the smell of wood furnishings, beer, and cigar smoke. A few guys at the bar whistled at her she gave them a sadistic look and they quieted right down.

Alex and Kane followed close behind, both chuckling at the way the men had shrunk back into their seats at what Ciera had done.

Ciera walked up to the counter, Kalin still unconscious on her shoulders. “Three rooms please.”

‘Beautiful.’ Alex breathed in the salty night air with a smile and closed her eyes. It was a full moon that night, the silvery light reflected on the oceans surface making it look like many bright stars winking and disappearing once again in the dark blackness of the water. Pulling the blanked from her bedroom cot a little closer about her she thought back to Kane kissing her on the cheek.

‘Why did he kiss me?’ Alex felt her cheeks warm up a bit. ‘I sure am blushing a lot lately.’ She touched her cheek that his lips had caressed and shivered but this time it wasn’t from the cool air.

“Hey! Isn’t it a bit late for babes to be awake?” Came a playful voice from behind her.

Alex jerked her head to see whom it was ‘speak of the devil.’

“I am not a babe!” She cried for what seemed the hundredth time since they had met.

“Heh I’m just playing with ya.” Kane plopped down next to the flustered teenager. “It sure is gorgeous.” He sighed happily.

“That it is.”

“So where you from anyway? I never got a chance to ask you.” Kane inclined his head to look at her.

Alex stiffened a bit “I was born in Theramore.” She said indifferently “How about you?”

“I was born in Darnassus”

“What’s your family like?” Alex let her eyes wander to Kane’s figure. He had his hair down and by the looks of it was brushed to silky softness, he was dressed in a black sweat shirt (He had bought from the shops near by) and was wearing dark blue pants that also looked black in the moonlight.

“I have two sisters and one older brother. My youngest sister is Fowie she is shy and sweet. My older sister is Rae, she’s a bit headstrong and hot-blooded but when you get to know her she’s kind and last but not least my oldest brother Cald, he’s gentle and loves the art of painting. My parents live in Darnassus, I hear they set up a skinning shop, I haven’t seen them in ages!” Kane looked back at the moon with a thoughtful expression.

“They sound wonderful.” Alex said with a sad smile.

“What of you? What is your family like?” A sudden strong wing carrying a spray of salty mist from the ocean blew past them, causing Alex’s bangs to blow over her eyes. Alex lowered her head, her once relaxed hands closed into fists.

She stood and started to walk away. Kane sat there dumbfounded and wondering what he had said wrong. He jumped up quickly to follow when Alex stopped suddenly. She was about six feet from him she turned back around slowly; the fiery bangs still concealed her face.

12 years prior


“Why are you crying daddy?” Her dad’s green eyes were now streaming.

He staggered forward, clutched Alex’s small form to his chest and fell forward. He put one arm out so not to crush his daughter. They landed with a ‘thud’ Alex was unharmed from the fall, her dad was leaning over her his face was smiling but his eyes weren’t.

Hot fluid sprayed Her face and chest; Alex shielded her face from it. Confused she looked down sticks were coming out of her dad’s belly and chest from the openings the blood flowed freely onto her. Stray arrows from, to her a pointless fight, had struck him down.

Realization struck her on why he had been bleeding from the mouth before. Tears filled her eyes, the left one sill stinging from before. She reached up and wrapped her small arms around her dad’s chest, just under his arms. He rolled to a side to avoid falling on her Alex rolled with him still clutching him in a desperate embrace.

A bloody hand cupped her cheek causing her to open her eyes to look up into the eyes of her dieing father.

“I never told you today…happy birthday did I?” His eyes became hazed over. ”I’m sorry…I… love you sweet heart.” Her dad’s eyes faded to a dull green and he stopped breathing.

Alex didn’t know how long she lay there crying into her dad’s chest but by the time she sat up his body had grown cold and the screaming around them stopped. She leaned back and let out a agonizing scream that filled the whole town, not that anyone could hear hear they were after all…dead. She screamed till her voice ran out, she rocked back and forth arms around her knees until a sudden thought struck her.

‘Mom! Brother! I need to go…they’ll make it better mommy knows how to fix cuts daddy will get better!’

Jumping up she started racing toward the now dark and foreboding shack.

“Mommy!! Brother! Come help!!!! Daddy he’s….” She stopped dead in her tracks as she reached the house’s door. The windows were smashed in and the door hung slightly open. “Mommy? Brother?”


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


“They’re dead.” Just then another strong wind picked up blowing her bangs from her eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks, she turned away and walked back to her room.

Kane just stood there watching her go by the light of the moon.
