Laberynth

Hal stared through the trees as he walked, holding a slender black dagger in his left hand. His electric blue eyes stared across the laberynth, and he growled, looking behind him. When he turned forwards again, the whle landscape had changed, and instead of trees, there was a silent river. Hal cursed, walking towards it, when suddenly he heard a distant howl, splitting the night silence. Hal froze to the spot. "They're coming..." He whispered.

Monica growled at Taku and without warning ran towards the spot where he'd been. She bared her fangs and all the breath from her lungs got knocked out of her, all she saw was a flash of light and then she felt the hard ground.
Her head ached and as she stood up she gasped for air.
She looked around at her surroundings and gritted her teeth; she saw walls of trees and a narrow passage. She looked behind her to see a dead end.
"Fuck." She murmured.

"NO!" Taku yelled, jumping forwards to stop her, then missing and stumbling towards the light, and entering it. Voices coursed though his head, millions of them, praying....praying for him. Then one of the more distinct voices said "You'll be with us soon." Then everything went black gain, and Taku looked around, growling, at the trees of the laberynth. The trees with bodies hanging by the neck off of every branch. He hadn't just entered the laberynth, he'd entered the cage of the dead. A howl shook the floor, as a huge beast rose, blocking the moon, and two blood red eyes gleamed with the thrill of a new thing to kill. Taku looked up, firmly standing his ground. "Hello, wrath..." He said, slowly reaching for a knife.

The howl shook every bone in Monica's body. She was a ways away from the demon, but her wolf-like sences made it easier to hear the beast, and to smell it.
She gripped her hands over her belly to keep from retching. The stench of blood, and rotting corpses made her feel sick to her stomach.
She looked around and began to run forward. She took a sharp turn and looked behind her, a dead end. There was no going back.
She pressed on, winding herself through the impossible maze. Her wolf earf perked up, her tail wagged and her scarlet eyes shined in the moonlight.
she sniffed the air, looking for Hal's sent, but all that filled her smell was the rotting flesh and rage.
"This is not good.."

"Just get on with it." Taku sighed, as Wrath swung a giant hand at taku, and he ducked, stabbing a blade in to the shoulder of the thing. It did nothing. Wrath grabbed Taku and smashed him in to a tree, breaking him, then throwing him in to the floor where he rolled on to his side, bleeding from the mouth, nose, and a deep gash on the left side of his stomach. He lay, motionless, as Wrath lumbered towards him, his clumsy hads somehow making a noose with a piece of rope.

Monica turned another corner, she wasn't watching where she was going and bumpped into something with pale skin and black hair.
She fell to the ground and looked up seeing a girl with glossy raven-like gair covering one eye and the other eye was a vibrant purple. The girl looked down at Monica with a snarl.
"what the hell..?" The girl growled and brushed herself off.
Monica got to her feet and growled back, obviously Monica was the oldest.
"What the hell yourself."
"Nice one Dog-breath!" Said the girl and she brushed the hair from her eye reveiling an electric blue glow.
Taking this in Monica held her hand to her mouth and breathed in it finding her breath to be fine.
"Watch where you're going!" Said the girl and she walked away.
Monica growled.
"I'm not done with you, where the hell am I..?"
"I have no fucking-" There was a breif pause as Monica cut her off.
"This way." She shouted, getting the sent of Taku.
She ran off.

Taku tried to get to his feet, desperatley trying to get away from Wrath, but then a foot hit him in the stomach, sending him flying in to a tree, then breaking his arm on a rock. He howled in pain, then managed to stagger to his feet, limping away from wrath. He got a few feet away, then a rope was tightened around his neck, and he was lifted off his feet, being tied to a tree branch and left choking, his legs kicking and his one un-broken arm pulling at the rope, trying to stop himself from having the life choked out of him. His feet stopped kicking as hard, and Taku started to slip into unconsiosness.

Monica took a turn and she saw Taku kicking hard.
She gasped.
Her eyes locked with Wrath's and she froze.
"Oh, F-" She felt a blow to her stomach and she was sent flying into the tree Taku was hanging by.
Monica gripped a branch before being slammed into the trunk and she pulled herself up and with her teeth ripped the rope open letting Taku drop.

The girl with black hair lunged for the demon, he knives slipped from under her long sleevs and she jabbed one into its stomach. She closed her eyes quickly and with a small whisper she appeared on a tree's bough far up. She looked over the large walls of the Laberynth quickly and jumpped down behind Wrath.

**Sorry if it's G-Moding**

Taku lay still, in a pool of blood. He had stopped breathing a few seconds ago, and his eyes were slowly losing their glow. Suddenly, a tongue of flame ripped through the forest, burning wrath, and forcing him back. the flames finally died, as wrath turned and fled. Hal silently walked through the trees, the glow of the sunset behind him, and the burning flames roaring around him, in a sphere of fire, flickering, singing the grass. Hal shut his eyes and it evaporated in to nothing.

Monica stared with wide eyes at where Hal had been, her mouth hanging open, not a word flew from her throat. she stuttered and jumpped down next to Taku
"Come on Taku!" She shook his body and looked up at the girl with black hair.
"Who are you..?"
"Scarlet." She said with a scoff and sat down next to Taku not caring that she was kneeling in a puddle of blood.

Taku's eyes opened, staring at the three faces, then he growled, hs eyes blazing in electric blue. "I'm still here." He said, and he looked around. "Where's wrath?"

Monica growled at Taku.
"Thanks for the Thanks. I saved your ass." She pressed a finger to his chest and then turned to Hal.
"Where's Wrath go..? I wasn't paying attention, i was busy." she glared at Scarlet.

Scarlet took in a sharp breath as she saw the glow in Taku's eyes.
She covered her left eye with her glossy hair and looked up at Hal. Her freakles making her look like a little girl.

A sinister roar echoed from the trees behind him, and Hal slowly turned round, staring at wrath, who began to run towards themm as Hal slowly raised an arm, and clicked. Wrath's second roar was cut off by a huge explosion ripping through the ground underneath wrath, tearing his body in half. Hal casually picked up a large piece of dead tree bark, and held it over his head. Just as it began to rain blood. Wrath's blood.

Monica felt the blood poor on her and she growled in disgust.
"Thank you ever so much Hal." she said sarcastically and looked at Scarlet who was staring at Hal.
"oi, what are you looking at..?" Monica hissed.

Scarlet looked away. Her hair dripping with blood.
"Oh...Nothing." she lied.

the dismembered torso of Wrath crawled towards them, growling, leaving a trail of blood and entrails behind him, as Hal stared on, jest of flames coursing up and down his arm. He knelt down and picked up a handful of sand. Throwing it up, Hal pointed a finger, and a small ball of fire surrounded the grains of sand, and then a high-pitched whistling droned in to life, getting louder, then louder, then a glass arrowhead formed, and shot in to wrath's skull, splattering more blood over the floor. Wrath ceased to move.

Monica stared at Wrath's limp body and she looked back up at Hal. She had no idea what the Whisperwinds could really do. She looked back down at Scarlet and realization his her hard in the face.
"Scarlet...you're a Whisperwind aren't you..?" She asked loudly.

Scarlet looked at Monica and gritted her teeth quickly looking for an answer.
"I don't know."

a blue glow appeared over hal's shoulder as he looked back at scarlet, and images flashed through his head, then he heard another roar, in the distance. "The others are coming, and they aren't as weak as wrath." He said, helping his brother up, then turning back to the other two. "We have to leave. Now."

Scarlet and Monica nodded slowly.

Monica looked between Hal, Scarlet, and Taku, seeing the resembelance. They all looked like they could be siblings, well she knew Hal and Taku were brothers.
But were there more Whisperwinds..?
"what the hell is going on..?"

Scarlet shook her head.
"I have no clue, but we better get going before we're Demon chow."

Hal turned, meaning to walk the way he'd came, then he froze. "It's changed." He said, and Taku stopped dead as he saw what his brother had meant, staring at the giant waterfall, stretching for miles. But it wasn't the waterfall that rooted him to the spot. It was the 30 foot demon watching them from the trees, pure red except a gleaming white smile.

Monica looked up, drenched in Wrath's Blood.
"Oh for fuck's sake!" she growled her eyes turning black.

Scarlet laughed.
"You know, this demon half-breed is sorta funny." She said half to herself and half to the brothers.

Taku looked behind them, at the pool of blood where Wrath was lying. "Hal...where's wrath?" He asked, quietly, and Hal didn't turn round. "Oh, he wasn't dead..." He said, and Taku paused. "How long ago were we in the cave for you?" He asked, and Hal did turn round that time. "3 years." He said, blankly, then turned back, looking at an open field. "Ok, let's go." He said, walking forwards. "Nobody look back."

Monica shook her head and glared at Hal.
"We weren't even in there for more than 3 minutes Hal, how the hell could that be 3 years..?"

Scarlet looked at Monica with a glare.
"There's a huge difference in time in this place."

Taku blinked. "what do you--" He began, turning to where scarlet should be. There was a cave. He looked forwards, at a cliff face. "Oh, shit...." Taku whispered.

Hal stopped dead. "Where's Taku?" He asked the others.

Scarlet looked at Hal with wide eyes and Shrugged.
"The freak was here just a few seconds ago." She said and frowned.

Monica looked at Hal with soft eyes.
He hadn't seen her in 3 years, and she hadn't seen him in 3 minutes.
She wondered what he'd been doing in the Laberynth.

Taku looked around, and started to hear a noise like a stomach grumbling. The nearest tree had a bite mark in it the size of Taku himself. "Greed..." He whispered, and heard a roar behind him that shook the earth, causing trees to fall. one word coursed through his head. run.

Hal stopped in his tracks, looking to the direction the howl came from. "Tell me you heard that." He said.
