((I shall explain to you Maya, because everyone on earth should be educated in our "quaint" Canadian coffee addiction. Tim Horton was a hockey player (who's dead now, BTW). He decided to start a coffee shop, aptly named "Tim Horton's" and fondly nicknamed "Timmies" or "Tim's" by us Canadians. Today, Tim Horton's is arguable *THE* greatest coffee/donut/not-quite-fast-food place ON THE PLANET. Wherever you go in Canada, you are pretty much guaranteed to find a Timmies. I live in a little hick-town and we've got TWO. In fact, there are *two* in a mall in Scarborough alone *lol*. Unfortunately, the rest of the world hasn't quite caught onto the greatness yet, and there are only a few Tim's across the border. Hence why I will die. There, now you get the last part  )) |

(((I was away at the snow for 3 days... so I wasn't able to add anything... they didn't even have a computer up there!!! Anyway, I'm back... and I think I'll contnue this story...)))
I sat there in silence for a few seconds, reflecting on what Maya had just told me... this was all so strange... I hadn't felt this way in such a long time...
A memory came to my head... I wasn't able to identify what was going on exactly, something about dancing, but not the same one I had while I was dancing with Aredhel... I tried to hold back the pain and hie somewhere before I collapsed in pain, but couldn't... I fell, and let out a defening screech of pain right in front of Maya.
(((So, everyone's on holidays... right?)))

After the shrieking stopped, I collapsed, and lay motionless on the floor... for a few seconds, then regained conciesness...
"What happened?" Maya asked me as I got up.
All I said was: "Curse Haitti! Curse him to HELL!" Quite angrily...
Maya stood there in confusion, as I started walking off, further, into the darker area of the graveyard...
She then started to follow... I knew perfectly well that she wanted answers, and she wasn't going to stop untill she got them...

"Zeroc, wait!" I cried, "You cant blody keep doing this! If something's wrong, talk about it! Like it or not, we're at least a little bit friends, and you cant just keepshutting people out!"
"Because you would never do that, would you?" He shot back. I almost collapsed in shock- i didnt know he had sarcasm in him.
"That is so not the point!" I recovered, "And besides, i talked to you! Just now! Stop!"

I stopped almost instantly. Maya slowed to a halt as well. I stood there for a few seconds then turned around slowly.
"I am turning more and more human with each passing day..." I told her, "I am starting to feel..."
"And why is that bad?" She asked.
"These dreams... memories possibly... they...'' I faded off...
"They what?" Maya asked...
"They scare me!! It is not normal for me to feel fear!! I have never felt fear for the past thousand years! Why must it start now?" I continued, no emotion in my face, but I was sure Maya felt the mixture of anger and sadness flowing through me at the time, "I put Haitti to rest! ME! Not another Overlord, just an ordinary underling!! Why do I feel fear! I am the only underling EVER to disobey their master's wishes! Even if it is death!"
Maya stared, fitting this all together inside her head...
"... Are the elementals angered by my actions? Why must I feel fear?" I sat down on a gravestone, at this time, I was glad that I wasn't able to show emotion...
Maya was obviously finding this strange... an undead, someone who is not meant to feel happiness, nor sadness; bravery, nor fear; is only 'programmed' to take orders, was actually falling apart...

((dude, you need to watch or read some buffy lore!!))
"Zeroc... even fear 'int necessarily a bad thing!" I told him, "Fear can give you strength, if you only learn to face it." I shook my head slowly, sitting beside him, "I mean, Goddess have i been scared sometimes in my life... i once walked into my own home, to find my family dead, with the knowledge that the thing that killed them wanted me..." I wasn't looking at him- i hated talking about my past, so lord knows why i was telling Zeroc of all people- it seemed this guy had a way of getting things out. "I know what fear is, Zeroc... you just need to learn to use it, instead of letting it take you over. And these emotions..." I smiled, "They definitely aren't something to be scared of anyway- emotions can be your greatest weapon. I was barely more than a kid when ...that... happened, and it was my anger that gave me the strength to fight back. I get that it's wierd for you, but you dont need to be scared- you're strong, you can deal."

(((Sorry, lets let this be what he believes in, like a religeon... I won't go through WHY he believes about the elementals, because it's a long story, but he does...)))
I sat there in silence while Maya explained these things to me. 'It's not right!' I thoguht to myself...
Mabye this is what I wanted myself to believe... 'Even if the elementals WERE angry at me, after all, they ARE dead! They cannot punish me! Lord Zaron keeps them in their graves! They cannot harm me!' I thought...
I looked up at Maya, she was looking to the floor, sadness in her eyes... that memory she had just told me about, she still cannot forget it, even though she sais that she was able to fight it, I still does haunt her... this was one of the things that I couldn't simply fix with neckromancy powers, I wasn't even going to try... if she wanted the help, she would have asked...
(((I have so run out of things to write! I can't think of anything! It's evil!!!)))

I smiled softly- in his confusion, Zeroc was projecting thoughts without meaning to.
"Of course it still haunts me." told him, "But i dont tell it control me. I killed the bastards who killed my family- they'll never hurt anyone ever again. So i can go on without worrying about that... of course i will always remember that night, and of course it'll alwasy make me feel like shit... like maybe if i'd dont something different they would still be here... but they're not, and i know that, and... i can live with that." I chuckled, "Emotions are wierd things, Z. But they're not bad. I think you'll learn to accept them." We started walking again, in comfortable silence. Then up ahead, i heard a cry, and the sounds of a fight, and looked sideways at Zeroc, "You up for it?" I asked.

I let out a hiss of satisfaction, "The perfect thing to enlighten me!" I said, happier than before. I re-arranged myself into a bird of some sort.
"Want a ride?" I asked Maya...

"Na, i'll run." I said with almost savage glee. This was just the sort of thing i needed to get my mind off things. While Zeroc flew, i sprinted across the cemetary, and using grave stones as steps, i launched myself over the top of a large crypt to land in the middle of a group of vampires dragging a group of teenagers.
"Hey boys, can i play?" I asked with a grin, at the same time as burying a stake in one vamp's heart.

(((This is after Late, right? If not, tell me and I'll change it...)))
I flew down towards a vampire and thought, so only Maya would be able to hear: 'Time to use a new trick that Toraan tought me!'
I picked a vampire up and flew into the air. I dropped him into a shadowy alley way and sucked the dark energy out of him. My eyes then flashed as the vampire was completely immobilised.
The teenagers were both confused and VERY scared at what was taking place. Firstly they get attacked by guys with big fangs, then a girl comes along and kills one, and a giant bird (Which at this point I flew in and out to quickly for them to notice that it had no skin or organs) flyes in , grabs one and sucks it's life force while staying hidden from them.
'He's not dead yet, only dead tired!' I thought, knowing Maya could hear me. I didn't want to show myself, because the teens had already had enough for one night, seeing a skeleton walking around would probably be too much for them.
Favouring my luck, the vampires split into two groups; half attacked Maya, the others went for me...
'Perfect! Come to your deaths!' I thought happily/evilly as I re-arranged both arms into swords, 'You will all feel GREAT pain before we let you die!'

I laughed to myself at his 'dead tired' comment.
[That would be humour.] i told him.
"Hey, no ya dont." I snapped to a vamp who tried to grab one of the kids. I caugth the back of his shirt and threw him over onto a gravestone. A spinning kick took down his friend behind me. The three others gaped at me a i drew my katana from no where. There was a slight pause in anticipation of the mayhem, and then the fight truly began. The teenagers hid behind tombstones, as this was an enclosed part of the yard, the entrance to which was blocked by the fight. In moments, on of the vamps lost his head (literally) and two of his pals growled at me, leaping at me from both sides. My katana skewered one, even as my foot impacted the other's chest.
"Three down, three to go." I said with a grin.

From the angle at which the teens were sitting at, they could almost see me clearly...
I decided to show myself... what harm could it really do?
I moved forward and stabbed a vampire through the stomach, sucked away the dark energy, and left him for dead... then I continued for the next...
After stabbing and sucking away the power of a few vampires, the rest of the group FINALLY realised that simply trying to bite into my boney neck, or stabbing me with knives wouldn't work!
The last two moved back in fear, only to run into Maya, who stabbed them both with her stake...
' You have to finish the others off, they are not yet dead...' I thought, knowing Maya could hear (((or sence, or something)))
The teenagers looked at me with terrified looks on their faces, they gathered that we weren't there to hurt them, but they were still cautious about me (((Seeing as I don't have any skin and would look like something out of a horror movie to the teenagers...)))

One of the teens, a grimace on her face, crawled forwards, and poked one of the pronce vamps. I smirked,
"Hey- here." I threw her a stake, very carefully. She gaped at it, then dropped in and ran back to her friends. I chuckled- regular kids can be so fun, i thought. I staked the left overs, and went round to the teens' hiding place. A few of them squealed, so i rolled my eyes, "Calm down." I told them, "I wont hurt you- i just wanna know if any of you are hurt?"
"She tried to bite me!" one of the guys wailed.
"Lemme see." I said. he shuffled forward, but the bite was barely more than a graze- we'd apparently ot there just in time. "You'll be fine." I promised, "Go home guys- and dont hang out in graveyards!"
