Prompt 5

Character: Kytari/Ryn
Prompt: Running

She ran, escaping from the thoughts that dared to haunt her. It had only been moments ago, when she been aloud to forget, when she was able to be happy, and possibly be in love, but her guilt had risen, and she had fled; leaving the half demon in her bed bewildered.

She had thought, perhaps, that after 100 years, it would be safe for her to take a new lover, but no. It didn't seem to be. Ky sighed, dropping down to her knees on the hard ground. "I'm sorry," she cried, tears beginning to escape, "Selana."

At the same time, Ryn watched, having followed behind the dragon after she had darted out of the room, a borrowed cloak wrapped around her naked body. "I see why her sisters hired us,' she said softly, trying not to disturb the girl. She wasn't sure if Ky was even aware of her surroundings at the moment, but it seemed to be the safest solution.

It had been the first time since they, her and her brother, had come to stay in the dragons mountain home that Ky had even shown a bit of emotion, and frankly, Ryn was a bit bewildered.

"Why did you have to be taken from me?"

Ryn frowned. What in the world had scarred the dragon so bad? She would have thought that if there had been something major that her sister would have given them the information. Apparently not. Bloody dragons. "Ky," she called out, alerting the girl to her presence as she moved closer.

"Go away!" Ky snarled, baring her teeth in an almost feral manner. "I'm a murderer. You'll only get hurt if you stay with me.'

"I don't hurt that easily beloved." She knelt down, placing her hand on Ky's bare back.

The dragon suddenly turned, clinging to Ryn like her life depended on it. "I can't lose you again."

It was one of those moments that Ryn knew that she wasn't being talked to; that there were ghosts in Ky's past that still had hold upon her, and that there wasn't anything she could do about it. It kind of sucked. "Who did you lose, Ky?" Ryn whispered, running her hand through the girls short silver hair. "Will you tell me."

Ky shook her head. "It's hard."

"I know. Will you tell me one day?"

She nodded, and Ryn knew that would have to do for now. At least it was a start.
