Deception...

Disgrace...

Traitor, go back with your own!

[i]You have brought harm to me...
You have taken who I loved...
You have taken who I cherished...
You took a friend...
And I cannot forgive you.

Red and black eyes stared up towards the skies of the Forest, watching as the thundering clouds roared in a rage. His mind wasn't at an ease, no... it wasn't at an ease at all. A sharp, bitterly cold wind blew that ragged and tangled fur of his in a torrent that let any deer... stag or fawn... know that the bitterness of Winter was slowly coming. But this winter cold was about to be met with a disgusting storm, rain... hail... lightning... he knew it deep down that this storm was going to be a twisted mix of mother natures wrath.

Passion in my eyes,
I lived it everyday,
but how could you go and throw it all away?

Slowly... his gaze came down, looking at the soaked ground under his thick hooves as he let his eyes drift close. Nightmare heard the crackle of thunder, an arguement between the clouds in the skies. Black as the smoke that he spewed out... growling, roaring... the thunder continued on as lightning flickered between the argument of the bellowing clouds. Those molten red eyes slowly worked open... he wasn't around... but he just felt he knew.
Something was wrong...

In my dreams it's me and you,
it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
so one thing left for me to do.

Nightmares of the mind, dreams... sleeping creatures... he was in their dreams at night when they rested but yet this time something seeped into his own mind while he was slumbering. Eyes flickering softly as he looked at the muddied red ground and grass. A deep, gruttled growl coming out from deep within his throat to match even the Thunders rage above. That red... that red... it was blood, thick and caking the ground like a sweet frosting on the cool ground. And that smell, oh... oh that smell...

"Laurette..."

I feel it burn inside,
burning me like the rising sun
Lifted into the sky,
took away the only thing I loved
I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms
So don't worry,
I'll be fine,
when my life ends,
I'll leave this scar

He knew the scent, it was so thick and heavy and Nightmare's mind was in a race of panic. It was rare to see the massive creature of stag in a state other than placid mind or raging fury. There was a mixture of scents... deer he didn't know... and then...

"Sithrim?"

When I fell down,
I needed you there
Every note and every word seems so hard to take
Finally,
In destiny

That mind of his thought of things, maybe Sithrim had come to be with her in the final hours. Moving along he sighed deeply, Nightmare's gaze lowered as he went along and growled deeper still. His body was rocked with pain from all the events before, his body burning badly from wearing the pelt of white... to devoting himself to the gods... in hopes of helping her with whatever it was that was plaguing her so. Slowly, the massive monsters body was rushing along... he could smell the scent... blood, thick and rich in the air.

A smoking gun in hand,
now don't you realize what you've done
Put a bullet in his back,
your hero since you were so young
How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain
He must mean everything to end it all this shameful way

Slowly, he came to a hault... eyes a gasp in horror as...

"Laurette?"

Nightmare reared up and slammed down before there was a rush of air flowing through his fur and he was near the area. Looking down at the... still body... not breathing, not moving... no signs of life at all. His face fell, his mind a race of so many things. Emotions... feelings... worry... care... fear...

That's when the thunder bellowed in it's rage and his burnt skull lowered down as a thick sheet of rain hit him. Cold and harsh, his tail and fur soaking the water up like a sponge before he lowered down and nuzzled his face gently into the butterfly does neck... and slowly... he plucked up that scent again... it just seemed wrong to think it...

"Sithrim..."

Thick words came out with a growl... and slowly Nightmare brought his head up and glanced to a side.

Passion in my eyes,
I lived it everyday,
but how could you go and Throw it all away
In my dreams it's me and you,
it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
so one thing left for me to do

The emotions came in a torrent just as bad as the rain itself. But he was ignoring the burning pain of the cold rain hitting his burnt body as he slowly nuzzled into Laurette's body and closed his eyes. A deep, whine like sound coming from him as he raised back up... he'd come back soon, the at least take her to the Ruins... to give her a gravestone... to show her the respect that she'd deserved.

But right now... Rearing up high in the air the beast... no, the monster roared out in his fury. Body almost erupting in a thick sheet of Black smoke. The stuff seeped from every open muscle on his body, anything without fur bellowing out the thick substance that would choke anything in a minute. It enveloped his body, embraced him... craddled him like a mother would a child.

A crash of hooves hit the ground below as the smoke bellowed out more, covering his hide with it's rage. Forming up like a cloud of black flames... thick and disgusting like clotted blood left to rot on the ground.

Mane of raging smoke...
Body of Raging fire...
Eyes a blaze in rage...
Mind a torrent of Emotions...
Hooves crackling like thunder...
Roaring like the fury of a titan.

I started here so young and helped you get along
Just did it for the love,
and people healed through us
Don't live your life in vain,
don't take it out on me
You're cracked,
so just remember,
I'm not your enemy
I don't deserve to fall this way,
by a man who felt betrayed

Nightmare's head lowered down, the red orbs showing through the thick smoke were blazing like a flame that was at the back of a dark cave. She was gone, she was not coming back... why... WHY had she done it? No... why had HE done it!?

"You have lost all my kindness...
My respect...
My CARE...
Sithrim..."

The words came out in a thick growl, voice laced with a clear rage... much like that of the bellowing thunder above as he roared again and reared, hooves kicking at the air only to be clouded by the smoke that was covering his entire body as he landed down.

Oh the rage, oh the pain... his body seething deeply with the many emotions that coursed through it. Another roar erupting, any creature that was around fleeing in sheer terror as Nightmare slowly moved around. The smoke bending the the thick rain that was hitting it, like a flame being played with by water. Walking around, moving around he was looking at the poor doe that was there. And slowly moved himself to lay beside her body.

To lay with her, to be with her... why... why did he feel this way? Love... love... why was it an emotion he could just barely grasp. An emotion that when he was close to finding out about it, it would flee and run from him. Laying his head down on her body his eyes gazed out in the distance, he could see the dark figures of other deer rushing to take shelter from the disgusting storm that was raging. And he felt the plinks of ice hitting his skull but he did not care.

He could not get sick...
he couldn't get ill...
no...
He couldn't.

Passion in my eyes,
I lived it everyday,
but how could you go and Throw it all away
In my dreams it's me and you,
it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
so one thing left for me to do

That time seemed to pass by. And the ruins never felt so welcome to the massive creature, standing in front of a gravestone he looked out and those molten red orbs that laid deeply in the mass of smoke narrowed down into thin slits.

A rear up,
Hooves hitting the ground...
A crackle of thunder to match their impact...
And a roar to scare and creature into death.

In my dreams it's me and you,
it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
so one thing left to finish you

"They ALL have signed their death wish!
You took her life...
I shall take yours in return!"

Another roar, he reared up again the smoke erupting in a raging fury around his body before those thick hooves crashed down upon the ground and then... he was gone. Blazing a trail of smoke behind him that caused creatures to veer off it's path. No... no one wanted to be near that substance. It was far worse than it ever was before.
