Capture and Escape

Lilith opened her eyes and when she did, she was still in the Lyssia Woods. Her left eye, however, wasn't exactly in her control, she remembered when she fled into the Lyssia Woods, she looked up at the full moon that night and she felt a sudden urge of something. She couldn't stop staring at the moon, eventually, she was able to break her sight of the moon but whatever she was, it has already taken over her left eye. She got up and looked around and realized she was in a bad situation, there were two people, an older man, and a young child, maybe a year or two older than Lilith. Their backs were facing Lilith and she took the chance to escape, whether it was people who helped her or going to betray her. She quietly got off the ground and tried to avoid getting the two attention, she felt something tug on her ankle, she looked down and saw a rope tied around her ankle. She let out a quiet sighed, she knew that she had no way of escape so she may as well make her time asleep good.

Master Bergan felt the rope tied around his hand tighten, he tied the young lady's ankle in case she tried to escape. He and his apprentice were eating around the campfire, he slightly glanced over his shoulder and saw the young lady bent over, tugging at the rope. Her silver hair and her amber and blue eyes? It strikes the old scout that the girl had two different eye colors, it was odd for people around the Ivory Nexus realm to have different eye colors. He then realized that the amber eye was the same as the beast that he and his apprentice saw. Was it possible that? No no no, that can't be, the old scout talked to himself. His apprentice tapped his shoulder, he shot his eyes up at his apprentice's eyes, his apprentice pointed at the young lady who was now back asleep.

"Should we wake her up master?" asked the apprentice. Bergan shook his head and the two sat together next to the first, he suddenly felt the rope tighten but with much more force. He looked behind him and saw the young lady frantically tugging at the rope, she soon used her sword to cut the rope. Bergan rose towards the young lady, he has been taking notes on the young lady and the beast that he saw. He had the right to act the way he was going to do.

"Stand down," ordered the old scout with a soldier like voice. The young lady must've not noticed or sensed the old scout's presence due to her reaction, she looked up at the old scout the looked over his broad shoulders.

Lilith had no time for chit-chat with the old man, her body was telling her there was danger and when her body was telling her something, it was always right. The old man was at least six foot and by the looks of his body, he was definitely trained in the military. His black beady eyes were focused on hers, his short brownish hair and small scars told Lilith that the man was able to easily beat her. Arrow, said a voice in her head and just as the voice said. She saw an arrow traveling towards the old man's shoulder, the tip was made of flint but there was something else that was on it. Nonetheless, Lilith pushed the old man aside and took the arrow to her left shoulder, she felt something seeping through her thin clothing. Poison, she took the arrow out and dropped it to the ground, her vision was a bit blurry but she still continued with her plan. She called for the beast within and it came to her command, her chest expanding, her muscles continued to grow, her head started to go more forward as fur started to come out. Her legs became bigger and her thighs grew thicker. Her ears grew longer and started to become more pointy and she could hear and detect more sounds.

Quickly, Lilith heard another arrow, this time it was aimed at the young scout who was in complete shock in the situation she was in. Lilith rushed to get to the young scout before the arrow had reached its target, Lilith wrapped her arms around the young scout, covering the scout from the arrow. It was one thing for Lilith to be hit by the poisonous arrows, another for the young apprentice to be hit. The arrow had hit Lilith square in the back as Lilith let out a cackling howl, she broke away from the apprentice and stared directly into the forest. There stood a man who wore animal teeth and a small amount of clothing, his face covered in black marking and symbols. In his left hand, stood a long spear, tight rope around the tip of the spear and on the back of the man was a quiver, filled with poison arrows to be used. Lilith charged at the man, for she knew that the man only meant danger, there was no reason to talk to him for he was a Sioux.
