A dark forest (PM for inv)

[Aphrodite]

It was already getting late. The planet's sun was going down and this meant the predators were going to wake up. The girl was tired, she kept on hearing voices around her. They were telling her to come, but even with her mother gone, she would not follow the voices. She would only run deeper and deeper into the forest. The forest was pretty thick clouded, trees close to each other, which caused the biggest creatures not to be able to go through and the further she went the bigger the creatures had the potential to become.

The amazing thing of this forest was, what it did with her in the matter of the force. Her softly crying, allowing her tears to slip from her cheek made her for a certain amount of time, for exact twenty minutes sparkle out and be felt from a great radious, but it soon vanished when she became calmer again, constantly staying near the tree's, looking around every single time.
She had stopped crying but did not stop walking, her will to stay awake caused her to keep on walking.

Landing down my Heavy frigate upon the very first opening I could finally see. The ship hissed as the sun was going down. I came here to hunt for a mythical Beast. One that could easily be called a Rancor, but was quite the opposite. These beasts had tusks, claws, and huge spines that could have killed me with even one strike. But I was not so easily defeated. Carrying on my hip was a Beskad. A sword of the Mandalorian culture that I had received. it was a Weapon that I had when I was first with the sith, but now that I am no longer with them. I saw it as my tool of war.

I had slipped on my Leviathan Bracers. I could feel the hard metal bits in the knuckles made for delivering harder punches, and could absorb the force through an act of Sith Alchemy. The finger-less gloves fit nicely on my arms. While over my left arm, I placed an Echani Dueling shield. The bands were long enough to fit over the bracer perfectly and allowed me to still retain both of my signature weapons with me. While I wore my simple robes that were pretty revealing, I stepped off of my ship and onto the forest floor.

I began to walk southward. Vaulting over downed trees, and ducking under ones that were just the right height. I moved on and suddenly, I felt something move in the force. As though it was sad......and....alone? I moved quickly towards the direction I could feel it from. Heading away from the star that was setting away from my vision of the planet.

The moment you moved further into the forest, you could also hear the voices, the girl was hearing. The voices did not direct to you but still to the other girl deeper in the forest. The instructions were changing when you were getting closer. Soon, many snakes could be seen around the trees, very slowly moving not showing any thread, but the voices wanted to get the woman away. "Keep on running...run...deeper...into the forest"
---
Aphrodite was changing suddenly from direction. She did not seem to follow the voice, how much it tried to pursuade her, it did not seem to work on her. All of a sudden, she started to scream, alerting some of the creatures nearby, "I won't listen to you, stop voices.. stop being mean!" Her speed seem to accelurate for a moment. The big creatures noticed her and many roars aswell as her scream could be heard by Zoey. She started to cry, "Noo, don't eat me! Eeek, don't eat me!" She exclaimed, her voice being easily heard as extremely young and a girl. She was getting into the area with more trees which meant smaller creatures. The helpful thing was that the girl was crying and by that it meant that her force sensitivity was slowly raising and showing her where abouts.

The creatures could be heard slamming against the trees but, pretty quickly they were attacking eachother as a blood bath actually was happening out there.

I was merely walking fast when I came to stop. There was an excess of the force stranded on the ground in front of me. It shimmered in the grass and dirt. Tears. I knew them all too well in my life time. Suddenly I could hear rustling around me. and I thought I heard someone scream out about not following something. It was hard to understand who or what it was. Not even a second followed as I heard roars and growls of the forest come alive. it was down to the right in which I heard them. And that's when a Child screamed out not to eat them.

Indistinctly I drew my beskad. Running in the direction of the screams, I came to see a handful of Creatures that were not born naturally. Before any of them could see me, My sword cut off the head of the first one. My left arm lashed out striking another with an upper cut sending it flying sky high with the force. I then brought down my Beskad cleaving one of their heads twain. My left hand lashed out again with the sword still in the head of the creature, Pushing one hard enough into a tree that it's entire spine broke into pieces. The last one standing before me was ran through the neck with the sword. And with a flick of my wrist was decapitated.

I quickly turned around to face the next thing that came my way, only to see a small child huddled in on herself crying. I wiped my blade clean on the fur of the beasts and replaced it in it's sheath. Kneeling down on my knees I was in front of her. I reached out my hand, speaking with a small and soft voice, "It's okay, there's no need to be afraid. I'll protect you." Reaching my hand out to her, I tried to make some sort of contact between us, "My name is Zoey, Can you tell me yours?"

It had been five more minutes, Aphrodite could hear the different roars of the creatures. The creatures were soon after being striked their heads of they were rotting away in mere seconds. Zoey was only closer to me, while I actually was running away, crying as much as I possible could. It was shown now that the girl who was causing the high force sensitivity levels. All of a sudden a rush of adrenaline appeared in the little body of Aphrodite as an extra, when Zoey was appearing straight in front of her, stopping her running action.

Aphrodite's first actions weren't stopping with running but she made two fists and slams softly onto the woman her chest. The strength behind them were truly nothing, they were more tickles as it was meant more like pushing, only of the reaction of being so intensely scared. She was hearing the very calm voice and for that moment the voice seemed to be stopping in her head. She was hearing her say that she would protect her. Aphrodite's golden colored eyes were sparkling now of the tears she had. She was shaking completely. Her hand slowly going towards the woman's hand while her voice starting to be heard, "My....my...name is A..a...a...aphrodite", she told her sounding extremely adorable in tone but still very scared.

But than it had happened through the force a voice could be heard, "Two force sensitives...while I only want one...Aphrodite....Kill...her...or she will kill you....this brat is blocking it..." Which meant that the voice was only going towards Zoey at that moment. "Don't listen to voice...voice....bad!!" The girl told her while holding onto the woman as slowly creatures around the area were disappearing. for a strange reason.

A stronger disturbance came from the center of the forest.

Her punches towards me were nothing in comparison to what I had faced before. However, I was not stopping her from doing so because sometimes a child needed to let their anger out. When she was done, Her voice was soft and sweet. Her name was Aphrodite. A name that was rather regal sounding and Nobility. Regardless as our hands were about to touch, a voice rang out through the force. Full of malice and deceit. Saying that the little girl should kill me. I smiled and shook my head. "I won't listen. Trust me." I looked around the forest to see eyes all around me. Staring in watching. I then faced back to her, "How about we get you out of here girly." I reached for her hand. Intending to take her away from this darkening forest and the gore that lay on the ground.

Aphrodite heard the voice of the woman that she told her that she wouldn't listen, again it caused Aphrodite to get calmer, but when she was asked, her left hand's index finger was slowly rising. It was pointing towards the forest, "Ma...ma.." The girl was saying starting to softly cry again, before falling forwards, because of the complete exhaustion.
A path was appearing, while the voice said, "Ugh...leave...I have no time going after you.." The path was showing in a straight line back to the woman her ship. Was this all a complete illusion?

As the little girl was falling over, I caught her before she fell flat on her face. I adjusted her so that she was resting in my arms. Her head was in the cup of my shoulder. Turning around as I stood to hear the voice of force saying that it was done with the two of us. I had my doubts but I slowly walked toward the opened walkway. Using my pheromone abilities I gave thoughts of a smooth wind and an easy breaze.

The voice had stopped and all around them, illusions were seeming to be vanishing as Zoey was now able to walk with Aphrodite in her hand, "She will one day...come back here..." The voice had said through the force echoing around the area.
----
Within the spaceship of Zoey, the girl was sleeping the whole time. Her body was completely exhausted by the adventures, she had on her own. By the looks of her clothes and skin, it was easily seen that she was not treated that kindly, her skin had already rough spots, elbows and knee's full of infected little wounds, which were needed to be treated later on. Those spots were the only cause, she kept on mumbling in her sleep the same thing over and over again, "Mommy...Why can't you hear me... Nobody can hear me..." This was repeated every hour or so.

She was brought towards the planet where the Moross Crusade faction were residing. It took at least sixteen hours before Aphrodite woke up once again. Full of life, she was slowly waking up, showing her beautiful gold colored eyes. "Uhm...Uhm...Hello, is someone there?" She said not looking at both her sides but straight at the door, not knowing if maybe Zoey was even next to her.

Even as I walked towards my ship, The words that she would come back gave me a shake in my spine. I knew that she was. And by that time, there would be no reason for me to stop here. But I made myself a promise that I would help her so that if and when she does, she will be ready for whatever she may face. I brought her sleeping body onto the ship, and set her in one of the bunks. I strapped her arm in so during takeoff she wouldn't just fall out of the bed.

I needed to take care of her scars and cuts. The only thing I did was to allow my ship to fly out into orbit and straight back to Exocron, the Moross Homeworld, to where she could get the best hospilation. Once in hyperspace, I set it to autopilot and went back into the quarters. Sitting on the bed next to the beaten and cut girl. I felt her body up for broken bones and to see the extent of damage that was done to her body. Even as she moaned about her mother. She lost the one person who was born to take care of her.

I don't know what came over me. I was a woman who fought in battles, wars and even killed a great beast that was over 20 meters tall. yet I felt like crying over this girl. I controlled my emotions and set to bandage up the worst of the wounds. Even before she was awake, I spoke to her, hoping that she could maybe hear me. "I won't let anything hurt you any more. I'll take care of you Aphrodite."

I had spent the entire ride with her. Letting the autopilot take care of getting us there. And once more, I had to land the ship down close to the hospital. Already calling in that I had an injured child with me, I was met with paramedics. a team of 5 that had worked to stitch up my wounds before. They placed the sleeping girls body on the stretcher and brought her into a hospital. Moving her to a room, I followed after them. One of the nurses came to me and attempted to take me away. But when she saw my face and the beskad on my hip, she left me alone.

I stayed with Aphrodite the entire time that she was stitched up and had bandages put on her body. Since there was no known next of kin, I was in charge of her. I took care of the paperwork for her, and paid for it as we sat in the room. Sleeping soundly. As they left once more. I sat down in the chair next to the little girl. Watching her breathing. Slowly going up and down. I let my head dip down into my lap. And I seemed to be that way for hours when I heard her sweet voice break out asking who is there. Looking up, I saw that her eyes and head moved about the room. Taking in everything. I had asked for a home looking room and was easily given one with my status as a Governess. Even then, I stood up and walked over to the bed. Trying to contain myself from rushing over.

"Hey, looks like you are awake now!" I allowed her some time to look at me and maybe remember the events that transpired at the forest. Speaking again, 'Are you okay darling?"

Ophelia woke up and looked around for a moment inside the room. This room did not look familiar to her and she couldn't recall her memory that easily, she was still under the effects of the different pain killers drugs in her body from the constant stitching at the hospital. It was necessary at nearly every single wound, she had on her body. Those pain killers would work for multiple days, but not take away any of her senses and energy, she had residing within her.

She was constantly looking around, trying to find some kind of hint till she finally was able to hear a voice speaking to her, her head shifting to that side noticing a fairly young woman speaking to her, saying "Hey, looks like you are awake now!" Her head leaned a bit to the left as she placed the tip of her left hand's index finger onto her lip, "Huh?!", She did not yet seem to recall it till her eye brows rose up, and her eyes were widening. Her hands instantly attempting to wrap around the arm of Zoey.

A bit of shaking was happening, she whispered, "The voice...The voice..." but, it was only a pure reaction on realizing, that she was safe now. Her golden eyes soon going up towards Zoey, softly she was starting to speak, it sounded extreme cute, "I am...alright, miss" She had said while her eyes were shining showing the sparkling like gold color, residing in her pupil of her eyes.

Her eyes shown a certain sadness, which she was holding inside and not letting loose. She is a warchild and this meant that she was trying to stay strong in any situation for probably a very long time. "You saved me from the scary forest...", She had whispered awaiting her answer asking after that, "Where are we?" She asked, looking around again trying to figure it completely out

 

[Garza]

I kneeled down towards the girl. Her memory somewhat faded from the many antibiotics that were put into her system to fight off the infection that was running through her body. Suddenly she grabbed my bare arm. trying to hide from the voice. I shhed her and spoke in a soft voice, Using my ability of Pheromones of a calm feeling to help her relax. "It's okay, you are safe darling."

Looking at her and her sad face as she looked me over. Her face was clearly trying to hold in the tears and I could see that it was very hard for her to do so. Her whispering small and petite as she stated that I had saved her in the forest. I nodded my head to answer her. Trying not to speak so I wouldn't cause myself to start tearing up. I calmed myself down and listened as she asked where we were. I smiled and got closer to her so I could easily talk.

"We are at a hospital. I took you here so you could get patched up hun." I then ran my hand over her forehead looking at her face as there was clearly still some feeling of sleep in her. "Are you feeling okay Aphrodite?"

[Aphrodite]

Aphrodite was looking at the woman, who was kneeling down. Her eyes still focused on her while she could hear the soft voice with the use of her racial ability she could hear a soothing voice, it made her hug the woman, and the shaking simply disappeared. Her mind was easy to bend, which allowed the ability to even easier penetrate her mind. She was noticed it and placed her hand near her eyes wiping away the tears.
A soft smile appearing while a talk was starting now between them, "The hospital, eeek! I do not like needles. Did they use needles on me?" She asked, acting like her age most of the time does. Scared of doctors or anything that used needles on the human bodies. "I am feeling good, miss", she told her. "Miss Zoey, how did you find me in the big forest?", she asked Zoey while her eyes shifting over towards the wall, sometimes widening her eyes rubbing on her eyes to see if it was true. Aphrodite was still very young and her attention to concentrating on a single thing was very limited. "A rainbow....", She whispered pointing to the white wall. She was able to see the force now it had seemed.

I smiled as she was scared of the needles. I was half tempted to tell her that yes they did use needles so they could give her some meds. and the other half told me to lie to her. but I chose the first option. "Yeah, they poked you with a few needles, but you were asleep so you didn't feel it." I gave a smile as I spoke. trying as I might with keeping her happy in a time like this. While on the inside, I could feel a slight fear in my heart. I easily pushed it down to not allow it to show. She asked me how I found her and I started to speak, "Well I heard yo-" When I was cut off by her saying a rainbow.

I followed her pointing finger with my gaze to see a normal wall. I couldn't see any rainbows. I looked at her, and nodded my head, "Yeah you see a rainbow? What colors are there?" I wanted to keep the conversation on a higher note than what had transpired in the forest. So anything to keep her talking about rainbows and unicorns would be perfect for now. I knew that later on, I would have to tell her. and I knew that in that moment, she would want to follow her footsteps back to see where she had once been.

[Aphrodite]

Her eyes did not seem happy when she was hearing about the needles were she was injected with and multiple times in order to cover her up, "Oooh no! I don't like needles..." It was only but normal for a child to not like the needles. She continued on and showed a soft smile when Zoey was smiling to me. There eyes had met once again and Aphrodite spoke about a harder thread till I had noticed the rainbows.

The rainbow was her way to see the force, she was completely amazed by it. Her eyes looking again into Zoey's eyes, "On the other planet, I could only see red, white and black." She had told her, "Here I see all these pretty colors~" She heard the question of Zoey and this was where her inner child was coming out. It was actually a great improvement, to get a war child to not think about actual war. "Uhm.. I see blue, pink...Orange, red, green and purple and white, I see so many colors~" Two options were there, since they were near the aing-tii planet, that her force connection had connection with theirs, or that she actually saw the force from her color on perspective, instead of the sith/jedi way.

[member="Zoey Marix"]

 

[Garza]

I smiled and nodded my head as her comment about not liking the needles were the same as me. I never liked them much either. As she was listing off the different colors that were in this rainbow. Mentioning that the planet I found her on was only reds and black. While this one here was ranging of all different colors. I smiled. Deciding that it might make her open a little bit more. I moved myself up and sat down on the bed next to Aphrodite. "What else do you see hun?"

[member="Aphrodite"]

 

[Aphrodite]

She was asked what she saw and this made her only more excited, "I see, I see, the rainbows, I see Zoey~ Who is getting.....tickled!" The girl said adorable all of a sudden starting to lean forward a bit more closer to Zoey attempting to start to tickle her at the side of her neck, hoping that she couldn't actually stand it, so it would be lots of laughing for Aphrodite.

After doing it for around ten seconds she asked, "Can we pretty please go, I don't like the hospital~" She kept on hold on the woman her right arm, hugging it as if it were a teddy bear.

[member="Zoey Marix"]

((Couldn't think of much more ><))

 

[Garza]

I looked at her. Saying that she saw rainbows, and me. There was the slightest pause when she yelled out that I was being tickled! I smiled as she reached for my neck and her soft fingers touching me. I laughed and then tickled her back for a second as she then grabbed my arm. I smiled as she was not really wanting to stay here. since the worst of the injuries she had was from a few cuts that would be fine, I nodded my head.

"I can take you to my home if you would like that." I then smiled as I put my arm around her, "I might have to carry you though. The medicine can cause you to not be able to walk hun."

[member="Aphrodite"]

 

[Aphrodite]

They were in a tickling battle after that both of them seemed to be laughing and were not capable to be fighting the actual feeling of being tickled. Aphrodite her head was leaning onto the arm as I had asked about the question of leaving the hospital. I was not sure if she was actually going to let me go, because of the injuries that I had. I cheerfully cheered the moment that the approval was given, "I would love go home home~" She said adorable smiling towards the woman, "Uhm, I think I can ...Wait yes carry me~" She did not even try to walk and rose her hand, since little children always loved to be carried at least she did.

Her arms were risen into the air as an arm was around her waist. She smiled, "Let's go~"

[member="Zoey Marix"]

 

[Garza]

Her voice was soft as her delicate arms reached up for me. Grabbing her sides and lifting her to my body. I put her against my left side. I made sure that she was comfortable, as well as myself, and walked out of the room. as I walked out I asked a question that I have had my mind on. Voicing it for her, "Would you like me to be your mommy?"
