Amanda’s comments from the Obsessed With Writing group.

Lela sat back down and stared at the dissected flower in Camellia's light moss-tinted hands. Lela sighed, and bowed her head. "To save a beautiful and ancient race, I am at your service. Tell me what I must do, and I will do it for you and your people, Camellia." Lela knew she had to do this. If she did not, she would forevermore live in regret. What Jewl did was entirely up to her, but Lela knew her duty to all in the Haven.

Mold and italy.

OOOOOHHH I like Aladdin to!!! I never got why i did either....

Lela rolled her eyes. "Alright, Jewl. If she's not a tree nymph, where did she come from?" Lela smiled kindly at Jewl's confused expression. "It's okay. You don't have to believe in Camellia."

Lela tried to ignore Jew, but with a wave of her hand she said, "Jew, she's right in front of you. LOOK AT HER! Does she look like a myth?!"

"What?!" Lela couldn't believe what she was hearing. The tree nymphs were ancient and respected, she just couldn't bring herself to believe that they were being KILLED OFF. "What are you TALKING about?! No one is BRAVE enough?! You're a nymph! You have the unrestricted access to the Forest's very BEING!" She was on her feet now, despite her tired state, ranting. "Camellia, I have the greatest respect for you and the rest of the nymphs, but only if you show what all your race is capable of!" Then Lela collapsed in her chair, glaring at Camellia, awaiting her response.

Lela drifted into the dining room, letting her eyes sift through her mother telling Jew of the war, Jew's transfixed expression, and a strange tree nymph all gathered around her table. Lela felt like she was walking in a waking dream. 'It must be my loss of blood' , she though to herself. Silently, she sat down by the tree nymph, throwing her a pleasant smile. Lela listened politely as her mother recounted the war against the villagers and the shifters of the forest. Because Lela was part wolf, she held the memories of the war in her mind - like a bank of thought all her kind shared. The shifters - shape-shifters, actually - had been aided by the animals to try and take over the humans' village. It had been a long, bloody battle, and humans had never been completely welcome in the forest again. Thankfully, the nymphs had kept themselves separate from the war, and therefore where not enemies to the humans. However, it had been so long since a nymph had visited a human, they had faded into legend.

Lela shifted her leg, trying to shake out the pins and needles. "Why have you woken?" She whispered to the nymph.

As the crisp, white winter sun rose over the far-off snowy mountaintops, Lela's eye fluttered open. She moaned as the sunbeams hit her eyes, momentarily blinding her. She sat upright in bed, and remembered in a flash the events of the previous night.
"Mother!" She said. It was only half a scream - she was trying to keep herself under control. "Mother, what did Jew tell you last night?" Lela flung the covers off as her mother came through the door, her nightdress still on.
"Oh, Lela, stop worrying. . . she told me that 'the one I once loved was getting bolder'."
"How is that not important?!" Lela cried in disbelief.
"Lela, Marcus is your father. He may be crazed at the moment, but he wouldn't hurt me, or you and your sister." Her mother yawned.
"He fought me last night." Lela said defiantly. "He scraped my shoulder. Look," She pulled down the shoulder of her nightshirt, revealing three deep cuts matted in dried blood.
"Oh, my dear! I didn't even see those last night! Come in the bathroom and clean that up, you are right, this is dangerous." Lela allowed herself to relax. Her mother knew how dangerous the situation was, so everything would be alright. She crossed the hall into the bathroom, and began taking out the bandages.

I only like them if the mood hits me (and the plural of Fish is Fish)

"Get off of me, Rain!" Lela barked and tustled with her father, biting his snout. "Run, coward! And don't come back to us, lest this town becomes your grave!" She howled after the shape fading into the cover of the trees and rain. "What was that for?" Lela asked pitilessly. She stood up on her back legs and shimmered into her human shape. "He is a crazed, rabid dog, and he deserves none of our respect, Rain. None of it!" Lela turned and ran back to the cottage, vaguely wondering why her sister had not been shifting into different animals as of late. "She can be whatever she wants to be. Completely." Lela mumbled to herself. "And yet she chooses to be a wolf-human, copying my chains!"

The sun had set about and hour ago, and Lela was glad when she found her mother at the door of her home. The next few minutes went by in a haze, and the next thing Lela was conscious of was her head sinking into a warm feather pillow.

((END OF DAY. NEXT POST STARTS NEW DAY))

A scream pierced the night. Lela swore under her breath and leapt to the ground, racing to her friend's rescue. "Hurry up, Rain, or your beloved jackal father will have torn up my friend!" Lela yelled to the wind. She skidded to the edge of the forest. A dirty gray wolf had just pounced on Jew. Lela could see his yellow teeth stained with human blood. "Get off her, demon!" She sank her teeth into the dog's forearm, kicking him backwards in the process. Lela spluttered, the sticky taste of blood sinking into her still all to human taste buds. "Run, Jew! Tell Lela's mother that the one she once loved is getting braver in his attempts!" Lela howled as her father gouged her flesh. "Go!" Keeping the fight under the shadows of the forest, Lela concealed her voice and features as best she could - what would happen if Jew found out that her best friend was this creature?

Both annoy me sometimes (brothers annoy me, cranberry juice feel weird when I drink it!)
