ZiraBay closed her eyes as well. All was quiet then. They rested there in silence for a while. A sparrow jumped off of a branch of a tree and flew away, tweeting. ZiraBay finally opened her eyes and whispered into the darknessm, "Shane. If you could improve you life now, or if you wanted something so badly..what would it be?"

"If you could choose a day to die when would that be?" ZiraBay asked.

"Ahhh...ZiraBay?" A familiar voice echoed in the depths of her head.
ZiraBay swallowed and slowly lifted her head and got to her hooves. Could it really be? Could Bayleen really be back in her head?
Suddenly, she heard a number of screams ringing in her head, not knowing if it was hers, or Bayleen's or both. Or neither..? No matter who's it was, she stumbled backwards and shook her head trying to get rid of the noise, that awful scream. But the noise continued to bang against her eardrums. As she shook her head and uncontrollably ran about inside the hollow of the tree. In her attempts to ignore the horrifying noises, she bonked her head against the wodden wall of the tree. Hard. She collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

ZiraBay's chest rises and falls. Her heartbeat was at first very fast, but it gradually slowed down.

In Zira's dream, she awoke. There was nothing. Just a sea of white, everywhere.



"Hello," a deep, masculine voice said to her. "You're so scrawny. Weak..That'll be harder for me to work as myself..."



ZiraBay looked left and right. Still nothing. No evidence of anyone there.



"What are mean "work as myself"?" she asked.



"Yeah, yeah. We'll get to that," He said. "Look kitten, your friend...err...What's her name? Ahhh Bayleen. Yes, well, I have replaced her."



ZiraBay gulped.



He continued, "She tried to fight me off, but I threw her soul back in that forest. She doesn't deserve to live inside of you."



ZiraBay's ears went back in fear and annoyance. "Live inside of me? Is that what you think she did? Well, she helped me. Many times I was fed up with her, and I was wrong for doing so."



But the mysterious voice interrupted her, saying, "Well, she may not have lived inside of you, but she tried to take you over."



"But...But that was natural for her. She had recently died-"



"Don't tell me the story kitten. I know it already."



ZiraBay rolled her eyes as she stamped a hoof impatiently. "So what are you doing with me then?"



"Well kitten-"



"I have a name you know!"



"Kitten. I am here to do just that."



"Just what?"



""Posses you. Overtake you. It's something you'll have let me do so I can fully enter your being."



ZiraBay began to breath faster as her anger began to build. "WHAT?! I will not let you do anything to me! No no no..NO!, I will not allow anyone to posess me. Just leave me alone."



"Ohhhh but I can't do that kitten."



"I refuse to fade away!!!" ZiraBay exclaimed as she shook her head to get out of the nightmare.



"Now, you listen here. Nothing is going to get in my way. You are going to let me possess you. You don't even deserve to live. You are going to get me
what
I
want." His voice echoed through the white abyss of nothingness. His diabolical laughter filled the air.



She ran and ran to find him- kill him. Suddenly she slipped into a lake of water, though she hadn't seen it because everything was white. As she hobbled out of the water, she looked down and there was her reflection. No....Not hers. His. The devious stag had pure red eyes, no pupils and long black-shaggy fur that hung from his body. He had no antlers though, which was extremely odd.
Zira's eyes widened as she saw him, and backed up as her reflection (which was him) emerged from the water. His menacing body loomed above her.



ZiraBay, as terrified as she was, lowered her antlers to fight him. But he easily knocked her over as he quickly shoved her so hard with his shoulder-blade, that she flew back and landed on the white floor. A bit of blood began to seep from her skull.





The stag bent down to her ear and whispered, "Call me Diablo, kitten."

..........................

She opened her eyes only slightly and saw that she had awoke from her dream. No..nightmare. She felt the warmth from Shane beside her. He was praying, she could see. She let out a soft sigh and closed her eyes. She felt safe and comforted with him.

But oh how she was in so much peril.



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

(Oh by the way, I will probably take the part I just wrote and put it into a blog for her. Just as an update thing ^U^ So don't be surprised if you see it.)

lololololl Yeah, it was SUPER long XD
Should it be the next day or...?

Okay then! 8D

ZiraBay had, for once, slept soundly through the day and that night. Slowly, she opened her her eyes to the daytime, the light shining right in her pupils. But she was not affected by this, for her eyes were the color of the bright sun.

ZiraBay yawned sleepily and said in her airy, beautiful voice, "Good morning. Thank you...so much for staying with me. I..I like being comforted.."

ZiraBay smiled back. She got to her legs and stretched.

XD Hehe, I like that sentence.

ZiraBay noticed a few strands out of place on Shane's back. She walked closer to him and smoothened them out with the crevasse of her neck. "A few hairs were sticking out," she explained with a slight blush in her cheeks.

A slight ache started on her forhead. She then remembered of how Diablo had wounded her, and it was still there on her forehead.
"I have to wash off in the pond," she told Shane. "Do you want to come with me?"

Ohh okay! Hold on a sec tho...I have to check something first

ZiraBay followed after Shane. She began trotting to the bridge to cross over to the lake.

ZiraBay grinned. "Yes. Lets." With that, she leapt up into the air, extending her long navy-blue colored legs. Her eyes sparkled in the morning sunlight with excitement.

XD No prob! Take your time XD

Heh, same for me. I'm finished now, but I think it's too late for me to come on. But that's okay ^^ We can still RP!!!

As ZiraBay fell into the lake, the water splashed up after her. ZiraBay paddled through the water and got to the surface. She pushed and stroked through the water and then got to the shallow end. She shook her body as the water sprayed off of her from her shaking. Droplets of water dripped from her antlers. One by one, the candles began to light up again.

ZiraBay nodded. "Indeed. Very refreshing. So...Where should we go now?"

Suddenly, a small white mouse scampred over to ZiraBay from behind some neddles on the edge of the lake. It reared up and clawed and leapt up, as if trying to climb her.

ZiraBay leaned down, her head and antlers close to the ground. The white mouse leapt upon her the tip of her antlers. As ZiraBay stood once again upright, the white mouse made its way down her antlers and candes and plopped on her forehead. The doe chuckled.

ZiraBay laughed in response. "Nope! But he's my friend. I named him Snowball."

ZiraBay laughed again. She loved to laugh ^^ She had a very hearty laugh as well. "If I did, his brains would be socked out of his head!" she exclaimed, laughing. Then she walked closer to Shane and dropped Snowball on his back. The mouse was in a curled up position and was sleeping. He barely noticed that he had been removed from Zira's forehead. "There," the doe stated. "You can carry him as well!"

Then, ZiraBay began to amble forwards. She looked back at Shane and beckoned him to follow.

By the way, what does Shane's eyes look like? I noticed he wears the crying mask in the game, and they have pitch black eyes. But does he have an eye color? Also, does he have a human face or a deer face?

(XD I was just wondering, I wanted to know more of what Shane looks like ^^

Oh by the way, sooooo sorry for the late reply! Yesterday there was a power outage for me and now the computer is down, therefore I cannot use it The only way I can get onto the internet is for me to use my brothers' laptop. But, I don't get a lot of time on it in the first place. So if I don't reply to your post after a day, just know that my computer is down and it delays my time to reply to this. )

ZiraBay continued to trot onward, looking back every so often to make sure Shane was still following her. Then, they arrived in front of a huge, wide birch tree in the birch forest. As a mtter of fact, it was a ring of birch trees just like that, but they surrounded a large area where the ground is lower and it's like a big dig in the ground.

"Come on!" ZiraBay piped with a grin as she sprang forward.

Inside the area, blueberry bushes as high that stretched as high as Zira's chin were scattered around the perimeter. ZiraBay took a bite of a berry.
"Mmmmm...You've got to try a berry Shane!" ZiraBay said cheerfully with her mouth stuffed with the sweet berries.

(XD Thanks for being so understanding 8D -huggles- )

ZiraBay swallowed and blushed as she grinned. "Hehehe. Sorry! These berries are just SO heavenly!" ZiraBay went back to frolicing over the berry field as she munched the berries. The mouse climbed up the branches and he, too ate berries.

Once ZiraBay was stuffed to the brim with berries, she collapsed on the ground and lied down on her side. She moaned and her belly ached slightly from eating so much. "Those," she murmured. "Were some good berries."

ZiraBay was all loopy from the sweetness of the berries. Her brain was like mush and she was a bit dizy. To some extent, you could say she was drunk. She sat back upright and gave Shane a kiss on the lips. Then she flopped back down again XD Zira closed her eyes and began to sleep.

Snowball crawled over and sat on her shoulderblade.

ZiraBay's chest rose and fell. Rose and fell. Over and over in a steady, even beat.
She slept throughout the whole day, and then finally woke up when it was nearing nighttime. It was only slightly dark out.
She awoke with a yawn and still felt weary and full from eating so many berries. She had not known that she kissed Shane because she was drunk. Now she didn't remember a thing of what she did.

ZiraBay yawned once more and slowly got to her hooves and stratched. The white mouse slid from her shoulders and fell on the ground. He awoke with a startle and climbed back up on ZiraBay (with her help with the antlers, that is).

ZiraBay turned to her head to the horizon and observed the vibrant colors and how the colors slowly began to transition to the darker colors of nightfall.

Upon hearing Shane's yawn, she turned around and knelt down beside him. "Hello, sleepyhead!" she said happily.

ZiraBay chuckled and looked back to the sky. "The stars will be coming out soon. They're so beautiful..."
It grew darker and darker with every few minutes. The sky turned from orangy-pink, to purple, and finally to a dark blue. The fireflies began to light up in the night. ZiraBay's eyes almost glowed, its' bright-yellow color like the fireflies' light. The flames upon her candled antlers flickered and glowed beautifully in the darkness.
