(OOC: Sorry from what I read it sounded like the cloak from Harry Porter. My bad but I am glad you can work off of it anyway. LOL.)
"Why are you in my house?!" She then pointed her gun at the other woman standing beside her as Max kept his eyes on the other woman and boy as he growled as he bared his teeth. "And who the hell are you?!" She snapped waiting for answers before she started to fire. She then felt Garrett's hand on her shoulder but she remaded focused. Her hand so steady and calm it was scary. "Don't make me repeat myself. My finger is so ready to pull this trigger so please if you lie to me I will know."

((OOC: Hehehe, lol, thanks for the compliment I am not that smart to think of using thiat...LOL!!))
Alide was almost startled by the womans hostility, what kind of life had this girl been threw that would make her so agressive towards others, she was beautiful as she had heard but than Alide thought randomly, I guess she just don't like jokes. Alide then straitened up her shoulders and looked Elisabeth dead in the eye, "I have come to find out if you are my sister."
Allen leaned out and gave Elisabeth a grin.

Elizabeth then turned her attention back to the woman by the door. She lowered her gun slightly then all the way as she turned back to her. "Sister?" Elizabeth repeated. The word seemed to far away mainly because it ment family. She had no family. Other then Miss Sally who owns the saloon in town. She was like a mom she never had. Looking towards Garrett she suddenly got light headed. Very light headed. "Make Max stand down...." the words became faint as she then passed out into his arms.
Two more dogs jumped in threw the window. Max parked at them as one began to growel at one lady and the other began to growel at the other. Max then went over to Garrett as he carried his master to the couch. He began to whine and whipper at him wanting to know if his master was alright.

Alides eyes bugged from her head a little, "Well, this is certinly new." Alide ignored the dog and stepped further into the home, sitting lightly on the edge of the couch.
Allen now uncovered of the cloak began talking to the husky who growled at them.
The shadow hung its massive spectral head in the shattered window.

Livia glared at the other woman, wondering if this was what she had to defend Elizabeth from.
When Elizabeth fainted, she bent down beside her. Max's warning growl came, and she reached out a hand to the canine. "I swear on my unlife that I will not harm her, loyal guardian.", speaking to him as though he was a person, not just a pet or an animal.
Max looked at her for a few seconds then licked her hand.
"Thank you, Max." She took the hand back and felt Elizabeth's forehead with the back of her hand. As usual, it felt really hot on her cold skin, but she judged it to be slightly lower than normal human temp.
She closed her eyes. "Stress. Shock....Garrett, she'll need some water. Cool, but not frigid. A blanket might not go amiss, either."
As expected, she began to shiver. "Damn. I was right. Shock. I wager she's lived her whole life thinking her family was either dead or gone...that trick with the sister thing shocked her system and she had to basically reboot. So, she fainted."
She stood and sheathed her sword and wrapped Elizabeth in the blanket. She then put the glass of water to Elizabeth's lips and tried to get some into her mouth.
"If I can...just....get some water in her, she'll wake up, rather than choke on it. Either that, or the coolness and wetness will wake her up and she'll gulp it right down. Either way, she'll be awake."
A small trickle of water went down, but was swallowed with no change.
"Well. That's interesting. She's mastered the talent of sub-consciously swallowing water. We'll have to wait."
She stood, leaving Elizabeth on the sofa. "In the mean time, perhaps you had better start talking." Livia turned to Alide. "And quick." A long, thin dagger suddenly appeared in her hand and she laid the flat of the blade on the woman's shoulder, the edge about 4 inches from the skin on her neck.
"You need to understand something," she took in a long deep breath through her nose. ", Bloodrider. This woman is under my protection. Touch her in a way I don't like, you die. Look at her funny, you die. Make one breath I'm not fond of, you die." She smirked. "Maybe you notice a theme here?"
She patted the blade on Alide's shoulder a couple of times, then returned it to it's hiding place. She backed up, her hand resting lightly on the pummel of her longsword.

Alide rolled her eyes and sighed, this never got old, "What is it you wish to know oh mighty one?" sarcasum dropped from her words like thick hunny, "By the way nither your dagger nor your sword strikes fear in me." Alide rumbled and here eyes took on a strange light glow. but she kept her same calm look and stature, her arms still crossed over her breasts. she moved her shoulder slightly to display her own sword under the cloak.
Allen moved further back from Alide as if he had seen the action many times before and was giving her room. He watched the woman across the room and shook his head, mom didn't like being threatened for any reason, that woman didnt know what she just got her a** into, he just hoped mom was not too mad.
Alide stood to her feet and snd unclipped the cloak laying it neatly on the couch, so that she was free to move with her astonishing speed if she had to.
Allen watched with growing worry as the small muscle started to jump on Alides throat, and he mumbled under his breath, "I wish Humperdink was here."
Alide paid no heed to the boys whisper, "I think you need to watch just who you threaten, you may end up in a bit more trouble then you think."

"I don't give a sh*t what you think." She gestured at the sword on Alide's hip. "I wouldn't if I were you. For now, though, I apologize if I offended you, but know that I meant every word. I have no desire to kill you, but I will not hesitate, if I must."
Livia took in a deep breath. "Alright. Let us start over. The name is Livia." She held out a hand Alide. "New beginning?"

Alides demeanor instantly changed, here eyes dropped the glow and a smile sprang to her face, she took Livia's hand, "I am Alide and that is my son Allen, and there would have been no hesitation on my part either." She shook the womans hand with the strength and respect of another warrior.
Allen nearly melted on the couch in his relief, "Thanks, I thought mom was going to have to flatten you like Freefall does those pesky Marinoks on the cold days, back home." Allen's smile was contagious.
Alide settled back into her right leg and let the left rest lightly, she stayed completely motionless, "So, you say she is under your protection, what is after her?I don't like the idea of my possible kin being hunted."

"I honestly have no clue what is after her. All I know is that I must protect her from anything and anyone, lest we all fall into darkness..."
She smiled suddenly. "But that just sounds like a bunch of mystical crap that I left behind about two hundred years ago!", she said cheerfully.
She raised a hand to gesture, when what sounded like a snap of a twig came from outside. The gun flashed out from under her duster in a blur and was pointed at the window from which the incriminating sound came.
The six shot revolver stayed poised like a snake as she walked silently forward. She slammed the window open and poked her head out of it. Then instantly came back and her gun barked and a 40 caliber round shot forward, slamming into the raging beast that just appeared in the window.
The beast rolled with the hit and fell away. It sprinted away and into the forest.
"Damn it! It's a Foulbeast. Servant and scout of Darkness. I must kill it before it returns to it's master." She reloaded the revolver and holstered it under her now open duster. Beneath it, she wore riding leathers and a thick, tight boiled leather vest over a simple cotton tan blouse.
She pulled out a small handful of daggers of various sizes and shapes. "Protect her until I return.", she said to both Garrett and Alide.
She walked outside and whistled, a long and pure note. Seconds later, a massive Percheron horse came galloping toward her, with a bit and bridle, but no saddle. As it passed, she grabbed the harness and swung herself around it's front and onto the back of the massive creature.
"Τρέξτε, Νικηφόρος. Δείξτε μας την έννοια της βιασύνης.", she spoke, the long dead language flowing from her tongue.
In a spurt of dirt, the equine tore off in pursuit of the Foulbeast and the pair vanished into the forest.

Alide watched the scene with static calm, then groaned the last thing she needed was to be baby sitting a human. she eyed the beast the that scrambled into the darkness, it was one of the wirdest things she had ever seen not really sure what to think of it she shrugged.
Allen cheeped up, "Hey mom! what the bugs what that thing!?."
Alide c*cked her head, "I dont know baby."
Allen nodded, "Okay mom, so are we going to take care of Miss. Elisabeth?"
Alide smiled, "Ya but first we must wake her up. bring my that small bag from inside my coat."
Allen skittered over to the jacket, and grabbed the small leather pouch and moved over to Garrett and Elisabeth, pulling the pungent foul smelling powder from the pouch and rubbing it between her fingers under Elisabeth's nose hoping to wake her.

(OOC: Beast, did you say Humperdink earlier? And Bipp, you just ripped off LotR with that horse, didn't you?)
Arinus cursed himself for allowing the Foulbeast to slip past him. He was in the process of trying to make amends, by chasing it down and slaughtering the creature without hesitation. As soon as it entered the forest, he was after it, jumping through the trees, grumbling at the creature's speed.
From behind, Arinus heard muffled hoofbeats, which was most likely the woman he had followed earlier. The horse managed to catch up to just under where he was, seeming to fly through the canopy. Deciding to cheat a little, he sprang off a particularly sturdy branch as his wings appeared and flapped in one powerful movement, propelling him faster than nearly anything else on the planet at the Foulbeast. His wings folded back into his humanoid back as he straightened into a vaguely pencil shape, which gave him less drag.
The servant of the Darkness snarl turned into a high pitched squeal as Arinus slammed into it, knocking the wind out of the Foulbeast. They tumbled over the ground, the beast nearly helpless to the Arinus' superior strength.
The grappling duo finally came to a stop, Arinus straddling the growling Foulbeast. He drew his sword and impaled the beast in one swift movement. Dark blood sprayed from the wound, soaking the ground. Arinus grabbed the handle, and pulled the sleek weapon out of the Foulbeast with ease. He turned to face the woman on the horse as he drew a rag to clean off his sword.

(Yeah...just a bit.. Also, Beast, it looks like nothing your character has ever seen, given that it isn't of this dimension, let alone Plane.) Livia's sword rose up, poised to strike. "Who are you?" She supposed he couldn't be too bad, given that he had dispatched the Foulbeast for her. Her challenge stayed the same, however. She needed to be sure of this man's loyalties.

(OOC: Thought so. By the way, does the Darkness have anything to do with the Hunger, or are they just unconnected entities?)
Arinus studied the woman briefly, before sliding the sword into his sheath and responding.
"I am Arinus, or Arinustorinaeriq'iarhaixul if you are feeling formal." He said, looking back down at the Foulbeast. "I've seen these before, but never on this particular world. Any idea why they're here?"

The figure standing within the shadows watched on as the new comers were trying to protect her. The plan he had in mind was folding out before him like he hoped it would. Watching the two kill one of his subjects the next part of the plan was about to be put into play.
He disappeared and reappeared back in the alleyway of the little grocery store in town. He smiled a he could smell the boys rage for her. Walking into the back room the boy was sitting there watching tv.
"Hello, Matt," The figure said in a low deep voice. It made him jump to his feet. "Oh, do not worry boy I am not here to harm you. No, I am here to offer you what only you have ever dreamed of. To have your revenge on Elizabeth..." He said his words hanging there like a fisher waiting for a bite and to reel in his catch of the day. With the look on the boys face it seemed he was hooked...
.......
Elizabeth shot up making them jump. She then jumped up and went for a poker near her fire place and began to swing! "Get the hell out of my house!" She began to shout. "I was fine! God I was doing ok damnit! Leave me alone! Go away!"
Then she focused on Garrett. His soft eyes and whispered tone began to calm her. She then dropped the poker and fell to her knees. Her rushed over to her taking her in his arms to confert her.
