To Dwell In The Past {Open}

[Samael]

So enthralled by this power she was that she was close to her knees to beg for it, puppy dog eyes and constant pleading only made Samael smirk for he wanted more from this women that he was not letting on any time soon but for now he'd do as he said and teach her the ways of mother nature and how to control it. Her pleading very pleasing to him to say the least.

"Enough! I accept your please, now follow me. Also you told me you would listen, anything I tell you to do is for power. Now run with me."

Samael took off running at a pace he knew Scarlet could keep up with, they were gonna go to an old house, that no longer bared a roof but was for the most part solid but long abandoned. This would be the perfect place to train, to start teaching her the basics of weather control which is were he would state. This would be a long and tedious task of teaching her how to control the weather. The best place for this kind of teaching was on a moutain but he didn't know of any moutains around the area they were in at all.

[[Im sorry that its so short. I wasnt able to come up with much.]]

Scarlet nodded, shutting up now that her constant pleading got her way. She would have gotten her way none the less because he wanted her for the potential... or whatever he had said. "For power. Okay." Scarlet nodded once more, her bright sparkling eyes looking at him in slight awe. Finally. The power she needed to show Shadows that she was worth something.

When Samael took off running she followed in a flash. She was beside him in an instant, her long crimson hair flowing through the air. Scarlet loved this feeling, the feeling of being free. Only one other thing made her feel this way. The rain. It washed away her problems and left her feeling new. Scarlet followed him silently, not knowing where they were going.

[Samael]

They entered the house and he appeared on the second floor and hopfully she was along side him and when he turned to look back he saw a flash of crimson hair so he knew it was her, as he sat down on the floor and crossed his legs, as he started to speak into her mind. "Do as I do. Sit across from me, and clear your mind of all emotion. Hear nature, feel nature, be nature... many many days of doing this and you might get a small hold on it. Maybe a cloud and some rain maybe a weak lightening bolt but you must do as I do." he explained as his eyes were closed once hundred percent.

While he had his index fingers touching his thumbs and he breathed in and out deeply as his body went stiff, no breathing, no moving what so ever. Breathing was just an old habit that he no longer needed but he did it any ways. His words continued in her mind, "you must remain completely still, you must hear everything around you, feel everything around you. Clear mind.. no emotion." from his voice you could hear the neturalness in it, and he continued to sit there non-moving and now non-talking.

[scarletcross]

Finally they arrived at an older broken down house. How nice. He was 800 years old and owned a shack. She didnt question it though, because it was possible he didnt stay here and it was just for her benifit. Scarlet looked at Samael when he sat down and she slowly sank to the floor, sitting in the same fashion. Her eyes watched him, sparkling gently in the darkness. She examined everything he did, Scarlet followed suit. Then, slowly her eyes fluttered closed, her hands upon her folded legs. Scarlet breathed in slowly, her muscles relaxing, her mind becoming at ease. Scarlet tried her damnest to empty her mind but there was just so much in there.

She was always thinking about something, and it wasnt always the easiest to stop thought all together. Scarlet finally blocked it all out and nothing but darkness filled her mind. His next directions caused her to sit ridgid, her body locked in place. She didnt even breathe. Even though the feeling was uncomfortable because she always breathed even though she didnt need to. Now that it was silent around her she could hear the rustlings of small little animals and the breeze. Even a flutter of a birds wings came to her. To be honest, she was quite happy to learn now.

[Samael]

"Feel the wind blow, the clouds slowly moving across the sky, the wind on your skin, feel all of nature." slowly a gentle wind started to blow in through the windows, the windows open. The wind slowly increasing as it whipped at her hair and he spoke some more. "Ignore all outside actions... keep a clear mind... make the wind in this room dead." it would all start out on a extra small scale which was the size of this room which wasn't very big at all. No roof but the room was small and an easy environment to control or so he wanted to believe.

The wind still blowing in through the windows, a constant kind of thing that he was controlling and in tune with, letting the wind go and letting it blow on its own as he continued to sit there, non-moving, non-breathing, clear, peaceful mind and it was all perfect. So attuned with nature he was at this very moment that he knew if he wanted to he could easily create a tornado to demolish any building or any person he wanted to right now, since he was so attuned with nature.

[scarletcross]

Scarlet heard his voice echoing through the vast expanses of her dark mind. She was to feel it, to feel everything around her. A minute or so later Scarlet could feel the trees swaying, the stars twinkling and the soft clouds rolling across the sky. She could feel it all. The feeling was astonishing, she felt so attuned and in control. The world could come to an end and she would be able to feel it. She would feel every tremble of the earth, every rop of water that hit the ground, any wind current that passed her.

Scarlet then heard Samael demand something of her, but she didnt reply, she was keeping her concentraition. The task was to stop the wind inside the room. That shouldnt be too hard. The room was small, but decent, yet it was just enough to challenge her. Scarlet though deeply. She imagined her hair no longer whipping around her face, no longer a cool breeze racing across her skin, no wind noise in her ears.... and then it was all gone. The wind stopped and Scarlet gasped, amazed at herself. In the breif moment she lost concentraition it came back, but in less than a second or two it was silent again. At least she could do that much. Maybe she really was good at something.

[Samael]

"Good good, now I am going to admit a harder wind, a wind that will blow you over to your back. You must keep your form, and clear mind the entire time, as if you were still sitting even when your on your back.. For now this is how you will be intuned with nature, but as you practice more, you will be able to do it as I do." he said into her head as a large wind came through his body unmoving in it as it blew her over to her back and she was to keep the same posture, it was a strong wind and it was merely going around Samael.

He was so attuned with nature that the rain didn't touch him, strong wind didn't effect him unless he wanted it to, he didn't have a completely full grasp on this power but he knew it well enough and had praticed hard enough to know how to teach it and how to use it well and effectively. Now he was teaching some one else how to do this, and hopfully they could calm the wind in this room as the the wind continued to blow.

[scarletcross]

Alright, a stronger wind. Definately bound to be harder and require harder concentraition. Scarlet was sure that she could do it though, she needed to believe in herself. If she didnt she probably wouldnt be able to do any of these things he was asking of her. Now she had to keep her position and fight the urge to catch herself. She just had to fall over and like it. As if on que, the wind came, knocking her back. Scarlets arms fidgeted, wanting to move out to catch herself, but she locked them in place.

Her back was flat against the floor and her folded legs sticking up oddly into the air. Scarlet didnt want to know how stupid she looked right at this moment. None the less she concentraited once more, seeing the room fall still, the wind noise stopping. It took longer than the last time, but she managed it. The wind ceased to blow and Scarlet tried not to smile. Scarlet was proud of herself, she could manage to so something that she never thought she would ever be able to do. Now she tried to breathe into his mind while holding the wind still at the same time. She did such, but just barely. ...I did it... her voice was flat and concentraited.

[Samael]

"Now I am going to move you back into sitting position and were gonna try something a bit different, but keep the same posture, don't move an inch." he disappeared from his own sitting arrangement and put her back in her own sitting position as he then rearranged himself and quickly got still and non-moving again. While a gentle rain started to pour through the roof likely getting her wet but the rain was moving right around him as if he had some kind of a shield on.

"Now move the rain around you, this is harder and takes more concentration, we will also do this with the wind, it is a constant mind set you got to keep and its even harder in battle, but once you get the hang of it you will never have to worry about wind or rain again, it will be a second mind set and something that will evenutally come natural too you." he said in a netural voice in her mind while he continued to set there, the rain still lightly pouring down on the two but the rain not touching him in the least bit, a foot around him the floor was even dry from no rain touching him.

[scarletcross]

Scarlet hated not being able to talk back to Samael, but she was afraid to lose her concentraition. It was already hard enough to empty a busy mind like her own. Suddenly she was sitting up and she had found that she hadnt even flinched. That was a good thing she supposed. Rain began to fall and she had the urge to sigh, look up into the rain and lay flat on the floor. She wanted the water to soak her through, she wanted to feel the warm drops upon her skin, btu she couldnt move. Damn. The only that made this worse was that Samael wanted to make it where she couldnt feel it at all. She found that silly, concidering that she loved the rain. None the less, she said nothing against him as she promised. She was supposed to be learning, not arguing.

Scarlet, as much as she hated to, thought and concentraited on no longer feeling the rain. She didnt want the floor around her wet, her hair dry, her skin spotless. It took her a minute or two longer than the wind portion of this lesson but it slowly began to stop, only a few drops were hitting her. Her face wrinkled a little in effort. She had to get all the drops out. Another minute passed, and Scarlet was dry. Her head was throbbing, but she was dry and completed her task.

[Samael]

Another successful attempt at learning this as finally the water was no longer hitting both of them but then he introducted the rain and the wind together both of them now coming down on her as he continued to speak. "Even harder this will likely take you several minutes, two elements coming down on you at once, stop either one from touching you." The wind did not whip at his hair nor did hte rain touch any part of his body as they continued to go through this training session.

It was most likely that she was starting to get a headache of some kind or maybe even a bit woozy because of the exert of power she was not used to exerting so much. If she did get through the next exercise once she came out of her calm and clear mind state she would likely fall over from the mental and physical exertion of her body, and once this lesson was over the rain and wind would stop by Samael's own power entirely so she could rest peacefully once and if she completed the task at hand.

[scarletcross]

Scarlet groaned mentally when the rain and wind came back. Hadnt she just defeated these things? Though she stopped her complaining and listened to Samael, she wondered. what if i stop them both...? do i get extra kudos for that...? her bland voice asked gently. Scarlet didnt like how her voice sounded when she was emotionless. it was so boring, so monotone. None the less she pushed aside these little thoughts tha flitted through her empty mind.

Wind... and rain... Wind... and rain... She thought. Her mind enveloped itself, souly concentraited upon the task of stopping the elements. She was determinded to stop both, she needed to test herself. Her head was pounding painfully, she knew it, but she couldnt feel it right now. Scarlet was focused on one thing. It took a lot longer than the other times, she was running low on energy. Eventually the rain stopped, not making a hint as to her being done. A few seconds later, the wind ceased to blow. Her face was contorted in slight pain, the throbbing being able to get though her concentraition. Scarlet even panted a little, but she was determinded to hold this. She wanted to so badly make this work for her. She wanted this power.

Scarlet slowly felt the power slipping off and her conciousness when with it. She had tried far too hard. Her slender body leaned to the side, landing on the floor with a thump. The wind and rain broke through once more as her face fell peaceful. Scarlet was out for a few hours, her body needed to recharge.

[Samael]

He knew this would happen, that it would take longer, that it would exhuast her to the point of exhuastion, and as she fell he had caught her in both arms and knew she was in need of blood to not only quench her thirst but to also regain her energy. Next thing you knew the wind and rain had stopped admittely as he started to run through the trees as he quickly came to a man in a alley way attacking him with Scarlet still in his arms as the man fell from getting kicked in the leg to the point of breaking.

Laying Scarlet down on some trash bags as he snapped stared into the mans eyes and slowly he fell into a sleep a deep one at that. While he dragged the man over to Scarlet and bit into his neck, while he opened her mouth with two fingers and let the blood drip down her throat and into her mouth. Knowing she would react to it in a few seconds and would latch her own teeth into the man sucking him dry hopfully and if she didn't he knew he'd take the second bite on the other side of his neck and suck him till there wasn't a drop of blood left in his entire body.

[scarletcross]

Even in her land of darkness Scarlet could feel her body lifted from the floor and flying through the air. Or thats what it felt like. Feeling these thigns in such a state made her dream of them. She imagined Blaise coming to rescue her in an angelic form. Scarlet was cradled safely in his strong arms as he soared into the night, wisking her away from danger. When Samael set her down on something that was slightly soft she imagined being laid in bed for the night after working too hard at her training. The smell of rotting things and spoiled food made her dreams stop, scarlet twitching a little.

Something tangy, something absolutely delishous touched her tounge, making her take a deep breath and bite. There was soft flesh in her jaws now, and her mouth worked convulsively to feed off of the source. Blood was sliding down her throat, feeding the beast and energizing her body. Soon after begining her feeding Scarlets emerald eyes fluttered open ever go gently. They were dark and hungry. In no time the thing she had been feeding from had gone dry and she let it drop with a satisfied sigh.

"Mmn..." She groaned softly and looked around, still dazed. Scarlet didnt recongize where she was. Last she knew, she was in a ramshackle house in the forest. Now she was in an alley, laying upon trash bags. Her mouth tried to form words but nothing came. She still tried, dead set on saying something. "S... Sam... Samael...?" Scarlets child-like voice studdered. It was airy, lost and confused. She often sounded like a child when she was tired. "Wh-where we at...?" She asked, her eyes searching for his crimson orbs.

[Samael]

He watched her mouth envelope his neck and dig right in, as the blood started to pour like a facult directly down her throat and to nurish her body. Her eyes slowly fluttering open while she took the man in her own two hands and drained him dry of his blood. Finally she had found her tongue as his face came down to her own and he took his index finger and slid it across her lips getting off the access blood, sucking the blood off his finger then answering her question.

"You colapssed after the strain of energy to stop the wind and rain. You can start training by yourself, just don't do it for more than once a day for an hour a day.. Or you might strain yourself to the point of death. Now take my hand and lean against me once you rise.. Your body is still weak."

He said holding his hadn out then grabbing her head and pulling her to her feet and letting her lean against him, while they started to walk out of the alley way and it was vacant outside. Except for the very few people who were at bars and othe twenty-four hour resturants in this part of town, fast-food places they called them such as Mcdonalds and the such. He was wondering what Scarlet wanted to do now.

"Do you want some real food? Or are you strictly blood?"
