(this is NOT plajarism) The Last Dragon..... dun dun dun (Eldar + Star onexone)

Alec didn't hear her. He could've turned around. But instead, he waited impatientlyb for her to continue talking or to leave. He was not going to be turned around again.
"Well? Are you?"
Aura took up on the suggestion immediately. "Oh no! NononononoNO!" Was her arguement. Though the more she thought about it, the better of an idea it seemed.
Even if she did loathe(sp?) him..... He seemed to have some common sense.
Zorina took a moment longer, looking between the two girls. But as soon as Aura began to protest, she realized what Selene was saying.
"I don't know...." she hesitated, berating herself for bringing that up.

(( Wasn't to me. ))

Aura glared at her sharply. "I know it was a suggestion," she hissed, "And that's my answer, NO WAY!"
She'd gotten in a stern word, but now she felt a little bad, because Selene said that she wasn't going to choose. And here she was trying to make the descision for herself.
Alec crossed his arms and waited impatiently for the girls to stop whispering and tell him what the hell was going on. "WHAT's not your descision?" he asked sharply, though he figured he'd just be ignored. Not like there was a change there.
Zorina hesitated, then nodded. "I agree," she said, trying to pay no mind to Aura.
"WHAT?!" Aura demanded, "He might KILL us in our sleep!"
Zorina didn't look very thankful for that peice of advice, but she turned to Alec. "If we took you there," she said, "could you show us where you saw the dragon?"
Alec scoffed. "Could I?" he said. Of course he could! Why would they even need to ask?
Aura, not liking the sarcastic comment, shot him a frusturated glance, then gave Selene the same one, as if trying to show her what she'd gotten them into.

(( Don't you just hate it when that happens? You try to agree with your friend and they tell you off too? ))

Aura, obviously having no say in the matter, crossed her arms stubbornly over her chest and turned away, feeling sick with frusturation. Of all the things that they had to do, bring him along? They already knew where they were going. They didn't need him. And why had Selene looked at her like that? She knew very well it was the truth, and she'd only pointed it out.
Alec, seeing that the two.... well, at least Selene..... appearantly thought that they needed his help, figured it wouldn't hurt to have a little fun. He smirked at the impatient question, and turned to look at Aura. "Maybe I'd feel a little more welcome if you all wanted me to come," he remarked with a maliciously sarcastic tone.
"Um?..."
Aura, knowing very well he was talking about her, scowled. She uncrossed her arms slowly and leaned back a bit on Zorina's back, supporting herself with her hands, so that she could get a better look at the boy. By the time she locked large blue eyes with his dramatic green ones, she was smiling blithly. "You'd have to kill me first," she replied in a fakey, high-pitched tone that may be described as sweet if it wasn't so stiff.
Alec tilted his head to the side, a confused, concerned look on his face. "Aww.... what's wrong, sweetheart? Did I do something?" he crooned. You might've beleived it was geniune if it hadn't been coming from him.
"Hey...."
"No, not at all, beau," she exchanged with a pouty look. "It's what you didn't do. You didn't walk off this plateau the first time you got the chance. And I'm not talking about the path either." (( xD Oh. Diss! ))
Zorina listened to the two go back and forth for a matter of minutes before getting fed up with it. She tried to interject several times, but to no avail. They were too absorbed in their sarcastic conversation.
Finally, she let loose a terrible roar. You can bet that that stopped them in their tracks. Alec especially. He was immediatly on guard, sword drawn and pointed toward the beast that threatened him.
Aura winced with anticipation, and turned to look at Zorina who was eyeing them both irritably. "Look, we've got more important things to do than sit around watching you two bicker. If you want to fight, fine. But not on my time!" She turned to Alec. "You, either get up here NOW or leave," she ordered.
(( xDDDD Sorry if I went too far without you. xD I was on a roll. ))

Alec rolled his eyes, sheathing his sword again with a hint of dissapointment. Usually, he would protest about even THINKING about cooperating with a dragon. But this was just one of those exceptional times...... That didn't mean he would like it.
"Fine," he murmured. "On one condition."
Aura rolled her eyes, though she would prefer jumping down and strangling him, she had made enough of a disruption. "Oh yeah," she muttered irritably to herself, "We're taking HIM along and he wants us to do him a favor."
Zorina, hearing Aura mutter something incoherently, gave her an admonishing snarl and turned to the slayer. "I'm listening."
"Once I've helped you," Alec started, "You've got to promise not to just leave me there." He knew what happened when people made such a reluctant truce. As soon as they were of no immediate use, they were thrown out in the most convinient place, which was usually the middle of nowhere, and left to find their own way back. Or preferably, to die. He was NOT letting that happen to him.
"Deal," Zorina replied immediately, but grudgingly. "Now get on."
Alec didn't look satasfied. "Swear it," he said, not budging. He didn't figure these people were the kind of double crossers he usually had to work with, but if there was ANYTHING he had learned in his life, it was trust nobody.
"I swear, now-"
"I know, I know," Alec cut her off, happy now, and walking toward them. "Get on."

Aura, looking over her shoulder, smirked as Selene's expression changed from being amused- at her suspense- to looking a bit sheepish. She figured pretty much that Selene had finally peiced together that her choice in companions would have a down side for her also.
Or at least, an awkward side.
As much as she despised the boy, she couldn't help but laugh to herself. Seemed like fate was bringing the two together.
There was only one problem, even if Selene was going soft on him, she didn't think either of them liked each other very much.
But this would be fun to watch.
Alec climbed up nonchalantly, unfazed by the seating. In fact, he looked slightly bored. Which was mostly him covering up his irritation.
Of all the ways of transportation... he thought bitterly. He hated irony. (xD)
Zorina didn't even give him a chance to get settled. She'd been waiting impatiently, and he made little effort to hasten his effort. The moment she felt his added weight on her now full back, she took off into the air.
Aura had been ready for about 15 minutes now. It didn't effect her much. Except for being glad that they were finally off the ground.
Alec, on the other hand, had not only been unprepaired, he'd naturally, never ridden on a dragon. He was used to relying on his own two feet. So the take off came as a great shock to him. He grabbed desperately to keep himself upright, holding onto the closest thing in front of him. Which happened to be Selene.
Getting a slightly better feel for the beast's movements, he removed his hands awkwardly from the girl's waist. "Um.... sorry...." he murmured, averting eye contact.
(( XXXXXXDDDDDDDDDDDDD I am so cruel, aren't I? ))

"Ow, ow," Zorina complained, wincing, "Selene, too tight!" It was ENOUGH that she had to carry three people on her back. She couldn't handle being pinched like that.
Aura, looking a bit puzzled, turned around completely and looked back just in time to see Alec pull himself off of Selene, and her horrified reaction in return. She slapped and hand over her mouth to stiffle a laugh, which didn't work very effectively, and turned back around. That's what you get.
Alec seemed to brush it off pretty quickly. He didn't blush, he didn't stiffen. He didn't even seem to care very much other than avoiding looking anywhere near Selene. Instead he gazed down at the ground below them with a bored look on his face.
"So....." Alec said, still looking down. "I assume we'll be spending awhile together. And I don't beleive we've properly introduced ourselves yet."

Aura snickered a bit when Selene hissed at her, flinching. She was obviously not taking the whole thing seriously. Nor did she intend to. It was harmless fun. Something she would either laugh about later, or simply shudder at the thought of him touching her. Depended mostly on how well her and slayer boy hit it off.
If it was up to her, they wouldn't have a chance to find out.
Alec's eyes raised from his sightseeing, and met Selene's. A small smirk played across his lips. It was hard to distinguish the expression on his face. Then again, he wasn't very easily able to distinguish how he felt about this either. But either way, the non-mocking non-sarcastic smile seemed out of character for him. It shed a friendlier light on his sadistic attitude.
"I'm Alec," he said. "It's nice to meet you, Selene. I think...."
Aura rolled her eyes, not bother to look back this time. "I think I like Beau better," she remarked teasingly.
"That's fine with me, sweetheart."
Aura growled softly in irritation, and turned her head enough so that she could just see Alec's lean form out of the corner of her eye. "Now, you see, that's not going to work," she started firmly. "My name is Aura Glen Teller. That's Aura Glen to you. Not Aura, not, Sweetheart. And if you even try to use a pet name on me where I can get to you, you'll regret it."
"Okay, sweetheart." Alec replied, grinning now.

Aura's fists clenched tightly when he called her the exact thing she'd told him not to. Her jaw set, she turned around to tell him off, her mind already already reeling with retorts. But she was cut off when she heard a laugh. It wasn't Alec's. She could see his sadistic face smirking completely.
Aura turned a bit farther and shot Selene an irritated glare. But she'd already changed the subject.
Zorina serveyed the question for a moment. They were a bit weighty. It would be a long flight, she could tell. But she could handle it.
As far as how far to go, she had no idea. They were going by the boy's directions for now.
"I'm fine," she answered back, yelling against the wind. It was irritating, but a good sign that they were flying against a tail wind. "It'll slow us down, but I can handle it. I don't know how far we're going, though."
"It's just west of the next town," Alec answered. "It's several tens of miles North, out in the middle of nowhere. There's no way we'll get there by nightfall."
It was sort of required that he be able to know the potential flight speed of dragons, among other things, in his line of work. It made it much easier to track them down.
But it didn't take an expert to figure that out. The sun was already touching the horizon and they had a long way to go.

Zorina also paid careful attention to the terrian, in case the night caught up with them. But she didn't give it too much thought. She was set on making some progress before they settled down for the night. That, and after seeing Aura and Alec bicker, she wasn't too excited to see what would happen on the ground, where they could get at each other.
"I think we all do, Selene." she said, not really making an effort for her to hear, so she didn't knew whether she had or not.
Aura nodded in agreement, forgetting about Alec for the first time since he'd woken up on the plateau with them. But that was mostly because, for the first time, he was remaining quiet. "Yeah," she agreed with both Zorina and Selene, "But I'm not exactly sure if I want to know what could do something so horrible to such magnificent beasts."
Alec rolled his eyes at 'magnificent beasts'.
(( time skip to when they get to a camp?
You're welcome to do a small post (or big.xD) to show Selene's reaction before. ))

(( Okay, I got several things;
Where SHOULD our little sorcerer be? I was thinking like the icey north. Secluded ice fortresses are always inviting. =D
I was thinking about bringing Nexus in. He could travel with them for awhile, THEN dissapear, just to make it THAT much more painful for everyone else.
Should Selene go from being Vampire in Denial to just Vampire tonight, or is that too much for one night?
I think so.....
Probably should do it tomorrow night.... when everyone's not so tired.
And then Alec can say something rude about Nexus..... Aura could get in a fight with him..... punch em..... and then we go from there. xD
Or it could happen amist something more..... actiony. xD
I'm telling you now, you don't have to say yes to everything I suggest. DON'T say yes to anything you don't want to do. I'll tell you this; listen to everything I suggest, and we will have done more twists than a profesoinal ballet dancer.
And DON'T ask me where that analogy came from. o.0
Crap, I gotta go. Nag me later! ))

(( Good. Just making sure.
Lol. Yesh.
Next day.... day after that.... somewhere around there.....
Actiony it is. xD
That sounds like a good idea. But little wound, like a cut on the arm. How about like, in the morning when it's still dark, like 1 in the morning or something? Alec could hear voices and try to take em by himself, but wakes up Aura and Selene, naturally..... and yeah.... ))

About thirty minutes later, they landed at what would be their camping spot. A treeline that started a forest of mostly evergreens started nearbye. But other than that, it was completely plains, stretching nearly as far as you could see, aside from a mountain range far to the east.
Zorina landed, and Alec and Aura both slid off on opposite sides.
"I don't like being in the open," Aura murmured.
"We'll be fine," Alec insisted. "Who's going to be out here?"
"No sane, well meaning person," she called back to him. "My point."
"You're out here."
"So are you."
Alec rolled his eyes, heading toward the forest. "I'm going to go get firewood."
Aura groaned in exasperation. "That will just draw more attention to ourselves!" she protested, walking around the other side of Zorina.
"And keep the wolves away!" he replied, turned, but still walking backwards toward the forest. "Those we actually have out here!"

"Relax, Selene," Alec said, now stopped, but he still had to yell. "Think about this, Aura's got a point; there aren't many people out here. So why would some bloodthirsty killer or robbers or whatever be out here looking for victims? Hmmm?" He didn't understand why they couldn't take the advice of someone who was actually trained in this stuff.
"JUST GO!" Aura shouted back irritably. She hated the fact that he made a good point.
Alec smirked, guessing the reason for his little friend being irked, but shrugged and turned without a word. She was right, even if she didn't know it. They didn't need to be wasting time with this. The woods was dangerous in the dark.
Zorina rolled her eyes. This was going to get old very quickly. Her stomach was prodding her for nourishment as well, but she didn't want to leave the two alone and defenseless. "I'll hunt as soon as Alec comes back. Maybe I can lesson the wolf threat a bit." She bared her teeth in an exaggerated smile.
Aura smiled halfheartedly.
