Alaric propped himself up on one elbow and turned to study Skye. "Tell me."
Alaric propped himself up on one elbow and turned to study Skye. "Tell me."
"You'll have to be a very good shot.. and we'd have to find it…" said Skye, "But if you take me out, then Dad will be helpless.."
Alaric studied him for a moment, waiting for him to tell him he was kidding, joking, April fools, anything. But his expression remained the same. He jolted upright when he figured out he wasn't kidding. "You want me to what?!"
"There's a certain substance out there, that will act like poison. It'll weaken me physically, and block my powers." said Skye. "If I use it, I can disable myself, and you can take out my dad."
"Oh thank God." Alaric sighed in relief, "I thought you wanted me to shoot you or somethin'." He thought about what this could mean. If he left home, his dad would know and accuse him of talking to the feds. Dead. He thought. If he left home but maybe, possibly killed his dad when he got back? Probably not dead Plus, Junebug would be dead, and Skye would be free.
"That's the thing…" said Skye. "The stuff I'm talking about can kill me… it'll only be so long before it becomes deadly and does kill me…" he sighed. "The easiest way to do it will be for you to shoot it into me…"
(ooh i got a relly good idea— what if__ while skyes doin his poison thing, alaric is like fightin a bunch, and hes like dragging himself to get to skye before either of them die)
(Sounds about right, basically what has to happen, is Alaric has to disable Skye, take out his dad, and then get him the antidote before the poison becomes fatal.)
Alaric twisted a finger through a lock of his gold hair and pulled. He looked at Skye with eyes that'd seen so much violence, so much trauma he wouldn't even wish on their fathers. Would he wager more of his sanity for someone who made him so nervous that it could drive him insane? He looked him in the eyes and said, "If that's what you want, and that's what you need. I'll do it."
(sounds good~ angst is on it's way)
"We'd have to find both the poison, and the antidote…" said Skye, "And keep my dad from finding out."
(brb)
(cool.)
He picked at the dead grass, nodding along to what Skye said. "Tell me the details?"
"It's called Necria." he said. "It's a special metal, and If I get cut with it it'll instantly lose the ability to use my powers. Including my ability to shift to wolf form." he sighed. "But.. if it stays in my bloodstream too long it'll kill me. You'll need a Mara flower as antidote."
Alaric listened, hopefully remembering it in the future. "Okay, doesn't sound too complicated." He said. They both knew this was risky, but this was probably the only way Skye would have a chance at a normal life. Alaric pulled at a lock of hair nervously.
"Where can we get them?"
"That's the thing. Both are really rare…" said Skye, "I think there might be an herb shop that has Mara… but I don't know where to get it"
That's great. "Are there any herb stores on your side? We could start there. There aren't on mine." Alaric asked, "And what about the– metal thing?"
"I told you, I don't know…" he said, "Maybe a Magicshop would have some?"
"I don't know much about magic, but we could try?" He said, trying to remember if there were any of them on his dad's side.
"What do you think? If you know one, should we go?"
"There's one on your territory, and there's an herb shop on mine. But you'll have to go to that one yourself. I can't risk it with dad.."
"No, yeah, I get it." He nodded, "So you'll check the one on your side, I'll check mine. Wherever it is."
(AHHGG…. I hate it when I accidentally lose RP's… sorry…)
Skye nodded, "pretty much.." he said, sighing.
(Bloop?)
(AHHHH im so sorry my account is doing the thing:( Did I tell u already that ive had past accounts on here that just woon't let me sign in? :( sorry)
