Sorry I haven't been on my internet has been having issues.

----------------------------------------

Clare woke up to the smell of Silver grilling the bear meat. Her stomach growled as Silver handed her the meat without saying anything. She tilted her head confused but accepted the meat anyway. Camellia smile as she stared at the two eating quietly as she stared at the forest they were in now. The tree leaves were a dark red, the tree itself was grey. “If I remember correctly I read about these books back when I was younger……I forgot when though,” Camellia stated confused. 

“Mother if I remember correctly according to your book Hell’s Fiendish Trees: Kerioples. These trees actually eat bodies of travelers regardless of what race they are,” Clare corrected. “Rather the details were rather gross. The trees in itself isn’t actually at fault since an idiot magician wanted to test his theory of how a man eating plant can grow.” (If you want to know what happened to him she founded his journal with blood splatter at the final page)

“What kinda insane person would grow these monstrous trees anyway.” (Silver annoyed)

“A very stupid idealist that wanted to prove to the world that he was a genius and that he could tame the plants,” Clare still reading the journal. “Men are stupid sometimes if they’re trying to be that stubborn. But if you get eaten along the way or die it’s even more reckless,” Camellia now flipping through the pages. 

‘How can you two act like you both aren’t involved!?! We’re in middle of this forest aren’t we.’ (Silver) (One’s a vampire and the other is a devil and vampire) “I see we can burn it down too if we try,” Camellia as she uses Fire magic without warning. 

“At Least warn me before you set the forest ablaze.” (Silver) “WOW they turned aggressive for once,” Clare nonchalant. The Keriopies trees were trying to attack them now that they themselves were being set on fire. Silver was very angry at Camellia for turning the trees more aggressive than they (trees were when they (Clare and company) first entered the forest around noon. “These trees looks like a mix of a olive tree and maple tree gone wrong….except for that bloodied leaf.” (Silver) “Is that so I have not seen any kind of these trees you talk of can you tell me more,” Camellia mused. Clearly bored now that Clare is burning the forest. 

"Are you trying to kill us! They're more aggressive now aren't they." (Silver) She seems to be screaming at the top of her lungs. Clare tilts her head a few times then stares back at Silver. "But if we don't relent this much to them we are food to them. I'd rather we be predator than their prey. You now prey don't have a say at all," Clare declares. "I see, there is that too," Camellia agrees. 

The trees shifted around them as if to swallow them up, the ground tremors. Silver flinches as she sees tree roots come at them. Camellia drew her sword from her side. Clare continues to burn the trees. All three of them huffed out puffs of air exhausted on the edge of the forest. She felt a shiver as Silver glared at her, Clare herself responded with a playful shrug. As if to say it wasn't my fault entirely. 

"Now, no glaring lets just rest for now." Exhausted Silver fell to the ground panting, realizing that neither of the two were exhausted. But Clare seemed expressionless as she touched  Silver's hair in wonder. Silver looks away from her to Camellia. "Sorry she's a curious one since it's a first time she's been outside of her home. "Can't you make her stop touching my hair weirdly. Much less why didn't you retort or scold her when she started to burn the trees. It could've gotten worst and escalated." (Silver) "Really everything seemed fine to me," stated Camellia.

"How much worst do you think it could've gotten then," Camellia asked. Her face seemed very serious and scary in the shadow. "Nevermind." (Silver) 'She seemed sinister for a moment there I'm sure I don't want to pry.' Clare staggered as she felt a pain in her chest Camellia's expression turned sour. Before both of them bat like wings came out from Clare's back. Making Camellia's whole face turned bitter as she bit her lips. "What exactly is going on now." (Silver yelled)  "Out of all the times for her vampire side to come out this is the worst timing yet." Blinking Silver stared back at Camellia as if to ask her did you just say she had vampire blood in her. Clare bared her nails at Silver, as she backed away at the last minute. "I'm pretty sure someone normal wouldn't look like that with their eyes." (Silver  said confidently) Clare's eyes were pure white as if someone that had been turned into a zombie, but instead she was rampaging because her thirst for blood.

"Can't you give her some of your blood Silver," asked Camellia as she back stepped from Clare's charge. The ground had been scorched off where Camellia used to stand. "I have to admit she's a bit unstable." To her statement Silver glared at her as if to say you call this slightly unstable only, how does this not look unstable to you. "She's clearly inexperience then. (Silver called out) As soon as she did she dodged a firestorm that Clare made to corner her. 'I swear if I getting her back to sane I'm going to lecture these two mother and daughter to no end for this trouble.' Both Camellia and Silver stepped back as they noticed that even the iron amulet on Clare was corroded away. "That's not a good sign..... hey human give her your blood quick." Camelllia ordered her in a demanding voice. Silver rolled her eyes as she said "Fine." 

"Don't blame me then if something happens afterwards." (Silver) Silver pulled out from her storage a spear she charged at Clare. Instead of caring about her weapon being devoured by the air around it as she neared Clare. Once Clare tried to grab her spear Silver let go of her spear and punched Clare in the chest. Clare coughed as she came to for a few seconds confused as Silver forced her to drink. "On second thought your suicidal," Camellia said. Her wrist was cut as Clare drank her blood. "I don't need you to tell me that when you haven't even taught her how to handle her vampire side." (Silver declared clearly annoyed) Camellia managed a nervous laugh as she looked away. "Yes clearly I haven't thought about it at all." That was her only answer to Silver as she carried Clare to some nearby rocks. They were in clearing as she said she something under her breath about that player should die. 

Camellia tilted her head confused at those words. "What do you mean by that," Camellia asked. "Oh nothing just didn't want to see him so soon. Damn that Freaking Fat ass king. Sending him and those kids out this far too." (Silver) Silver's eyes went to the group students in the field ahead of them. "You seem worried or rather more irritated." Camellia's words were right on the mark but she noticed that Silver didn't go help whoever was over there. "My childhood friend is no longer my problem." (silver) 'That doesn't seem to be the case from where I stand, it seems like your worried in your own way,' Camellia thought to herself. "All he knows about is to flirt everywhere he goes he's always with women. Actually as far as I can remember he's always stuck with fan girls. Though he asks why he can't get a girl." 

"You had it quite hard....," Camellia said. She felt Silver's hatred and anger in those few sentences she used to describe her childhood friend. "Forget I asked." 

Clare stare at them and tilted her head since she didn't get what the two were saying. "ℶℷℸ  ℥Ω℧૱  ☍⌆⌇ ⏂﷼ . " They both responded to Camellia by giving her a confused face.  She smiled as if it were a secret and Silver got frustrated instead. " ᾇῷ נ ס ע ף ℒ."  

"Your mocking us aren't you." (Silver slightly pissed now) "I'm sure your right since that's the vibe she's giving off," Clare truthfully said. "I was not mocking anyone," Camellia said. But her smiling face wouldn't go away. Which got Silver mad at Camellia. 

"Mother is being mean." Clare said those words emotionlessly with a straight face. 'I got reprehended by my own daughter who's mostly like a doll. How can that be,' Camellia thought. "Because I felt like mother was taking advantage of the fact that I haven't felt emotions before. Because father only treated me like a thing," Clare said. Camellia looked away defeated as her daughter's clear and resolute voice. "Wait a moment what kind of a person was your father." (Silver now curious) "A bad father," Clare bluntly said. Her tone made it very clear she didn't want to talk about the topic. 

"Just asking how was he to people." (Silver asked) "A fine person...............just that I didn't like him," Camellia answered. "But I have a question for you Silver what do you call your childhood friend you hate so much," Clare asked. "That's easy I call him back the name his mother gave him it's his middle name. Long it means dragon but I guess she wanted him to be majestic and powerful.  It has a different meaning to me as I say it he also knows I'm mocking him when I use it." There was only hints of anger in her voice but she had a calm face.
