Land of Hope (Mature/AU/CC/UC/Slash)

ooc: was thinking about making this scene worse.... and more explanatory, but decided to wait before getting Samuel into too much of what he does. lol. (Does Max want to play rescue?? hehe )

~Samuel~

"Well, young lady. Do you like what you see?" I'd asked the girl and she had simply remained silent. I shook my head and stepped forward, "Come on, I know that you want me." I said with a smirk.

I've never seen anyone so exciting. I heard her thoughts, having entered her mind enough to read them.

"Take of your clothing, dear. You're going to get a piece of me." I tell her with a laugh and watch as she strips just as I'd told her to. Looking her over, I give her an approving glance before motioning for her to stand. "Stand up, lovely. And turn around."

She looks at me a bit confused but does what I say, standing and turning so that her rear is facing me. Yes, this was what I was looking forward to. I'd have her screaming in no time but with both pleasure and pain. Of course, the pain was the first thing I wanted to her hear cry out with and I moved up behind her. I unzipped my pants and freed myself just enough for this moment. Grabbing her hair, I yanked it even as I pushed her over so she was bent over the bed.

I positioned myself inside her rear, pumping into her with forcefulness and she screamed in extreme pain. "Yes, that's right, scream for me." I told her as I began a rhythm, thrusting into her hard and fast.

"Stop! Please!" She cried in pain and horror.

That was music to my ears as I reached around her and began teasing her sensitive nub with a gentleness that didn't match what I was doing otherwise. "Are you sure you want me to stop?" I asked her quietly, my voice devoid of emotion. I could feel her body quivering underneath my expert touch, knowing she was reacting.

"Yes," she moaned out the word still filled with pain yet now tinged with pleasure.

I wish there was some way that I didn't have to do so much, I feel as though I am responsible for stopping things from progressing, stopping the darkness that threatens the land. I know it probably seems cliche' but it's important that we, Kyle, Alex, Maria and I, do what we can to keep the war from being too great and yet, I fear the day I have to come up against my own cousin.

Jack has never liked me and I can't understand why. I don't ever remember doing anything to him to cause his ill feelings. I just wish there had been some way for me to change how things turned out with him going to the other side. I knew that when the situation called for it, if I had to I would do whatever was necessary to protect those that needed it, even if it meant fighting him.

With a sigh, I pressed my hand to the ground and let myself focus on my practicing. I'd decided to spend a few minutes alone, away from the normal practice ground so I could think and it was becoming apparent that we were going to have to step up our search for those we needed to have help us.

Standing, I call up a small amount of energy, focusing on the ground around me and with a quick move watch as the ground shifts and a rock spike protrudes. I'd always hoped that I would be able to use my gifts for positive reasons, but instead, here I was practicing to use them against others. Sure, it was to help protect the citizens... but it wasn't how I wanted it to be. I hoped Maria was alright, she had gone into Honoo in order to get some more supplies, having decided that it was her turn.

With a shrug, I start for the usual training area and stop when I see that Alex and Kyle appear to be in deep conversation. I certainly won't interrupt them, so instead, I turn and simply return to my practice.

ooc: hope this works...... I couldn't resist.... it seemed to want to write itself.

Oh, I love being able to conivince Liz that I'll make the best choice for market runs. I can hide the amulet and just walk around and for at least a couple of hours, I can just pretend that I'm a regular person. Haggling for goods, looking at things that I wouldn't mind getting, checking out the other people and simply being part of the crowd were things that I enjoyed but often missed because training was a large part of who and what we were now.

Not that I'd give up my place, because I know that I have a purpose that is greater then any other and I am determined to complete what was meant to be my destiny. With a couple baskets of fruit and meat in hand, I am just about done my shopping when I suddenly hear arguing coming from above. What I see, stops my heart. Two children are a bit to close to the edge of a roof that is two stories up. If they fell...

Damn, I have to be careful. We don't know who all the darksiders are. We've been trying to keep from having word get out too soon among them of what we are capable of, yet we've also been searching for those that could aid us and so far had found nothing.

While I stood there, trying desperately to figure out how I could stop these children from being so close to the edge my thoughts are drawn away by one of them screaming and I look up again to see her falling. Without thinking I focus on the wind, catching her in it and letting it slow her descent until she was above me and I caught her in my arms, slowly setting her on the ground with a smile, "You're alright, little one." My bags weren't, but I could pick the things up.

I watched her run off and then kneeled to do just that. Picking up first the fruit which I'd have to be sure was washed once I was back with the others, I hoped no one realized exactly what happened. Some would know who and what I was and would welcome it, others would be against it and others still could have a tie with the wrong people.

yeah, that was okay, Storm .
I think I'll post tomorrow. I'm having a small ear ache right now *pouts*

"Do you feel like she's special? I mean... Like she's the one for you? You said you felt like you're almost complete...so maybe she's the one for you," Kyle said, stopping his relentless punching to sit on the ground.

"Maybe..." I mumbled when Kyle said I might meet her soon, trailing off. If that was the case, would I recognize her if I saw her? Would she ever gain a face in my dreams?

I was snapped out of my musing when Kyle mentioned having weird dreams. Really? He was having them too? So it wasn't just me then. "So, what makes them wierder than a faceless woman?" I asked, giving him a half-hearted smile. Truthfully, I was still thinking, and only partially paying attention to my surroundings, but I would listen to anything Kyle wanted to tell me?

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Jack

"Jack, I'm always working on perfecting a plot," Nicholas said. Well yes, I thought, rolling my eyes. That was certainly true. "However, this time I was just thinking on how much enjoyment there will be during many parts of this plot."

He pointed at my little creation and caused it to reduce to dust. Now now, he should have known how Jack felt about his babies. But it didn't bother me- I had bigger purposes for my poisonous plants. "We have so much to do and I for one can't wait to get started dishing out the disaster," he went on. "Any idea where the others have run off to?"

"Not a clue. But I'm sure a number of our comrades would have gone to have some . . . fun in the capital," I speculated. "They will be here soon enough."

Nicholas crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me squarely, saying, "You know, I've often wondered if you would be able to control the types of poisons your plants create. Have you ever enjoyed testing out that possibility on the unsuspecting goody goods?"

I had full confidence in my abilities, but I certainly relished that thought. "My plants sprout however they will," I replied, flicking away an invisible speck of dust between my fingers. "But I could well do as you say. I sense you have something in mind, Nicholas. Oh, do tell."

"Stop! Please!" I hear the woman scream. I can clearly hear fear and pain her her voice.

I look up and down the hall. I'm completely alone. No one is even roused by her screams. As much as I despise these type of places I know how they are. They house anyone willing to pay and no one gets involved. The other occupants are blind and deaf to others.

I hesitate and wonder if I should try and interrupt. If I knew what was good for me, I'd turn around and walk away. But that's my weakness. Damsel in Distress. My curse really. Taking a deep breath I raise my hand and give the door a knock.

I was fiddling while Wilma blew through...
