Wondering spirits

War of the Races

Clairia finally came to a forest with a heart full of hate. Hunters surrounded the outside to keep people out. Were wolves waited for them in the clearing as the storm came from over the horizon. Clairia's skin glowed with her ruins as she met the face of the witch of the woods and she yelled."Your raine ends today bitch!"Clairia lost her father and her family was no longer thinking about her the same. "Young one you have no idea what your dealing with."The witch replied coldly."Baba-yaga aka child eater, house on chicken legs the monster."Clairia laughed at her."You're even uglier in person."The witch lost her smile and lunged at Clairia which she simply whipped her to the side with a blast of energy. The blood spilled from her ruins as Clairia used her power. The witch stood and blasted bone shards at Clairia which then impaled her. Clairia stared wide eyes at the witch as she fell to her knees."You are far too confident child. I have many souls on my side and you are just a tattooed spirit."Clairia gasped for breath as Baba yaga's hand went around her throat. Her tears streamed down her face while the witch pulled out her soul and dropped her body.

The hunters stood in shock as Clairia hit the ground and Sam yelled out in despair. The wolves launched foreward as the war began and the witch sat on her bone thoane watching the carnage. Clairia's body moved which drew the witch's attention. Clairia stood with her body bending in an unnatural position and laughed. The voice that came was deep and dark "Come now you don't think it's over now.These wounds bleed for her soul and her hate which awoken me in her skin."The body then moved forward with the bones absorbing in the skin until it stood tall with no wounds. It smiled with a purple glow as it gripped the witch and launched them both into the sky. The body roared in a bloody mouth and smacked the witch across into a lake and drove them both under the waves then back into a dark sky. The witch coughed out the water kicking in fear and scratching the hand that gripped her. The corpse then reached out a hand out and twisted a lightening bolt around it's fingers as Clairia's soul pulled out and gripped the witch from behind.

The witch shot at her spirit which made her cry out in fear as it phased through. She struggled as the body slammed it's hand into the witch's chest and pulled out her heart and shot the lightening inside her. The witch screamed and twiched as she fried and her spirit freed from her body. CLairia gripped her soul and dropped out of the sky and into the hole that opened beneath them that smelled of ash and fire."You will be trapped forever too in there. We can make a deal you and I. We can bring back everyone who lost someone. I can bring back your father."The witch begged as the fell. Clairia heard her cries but simply said "We all die eventually. It's fitting we go together."Hands came from the opening and wrapped around them both. The witch screamed but Clairia only smiled as she was dragged down. The corpse then restarted it's heart and clairia was gone from the hole as it closed. She gasped for breath and fell from the sky. She reached for her wings as they came from her back and slowed her fall as she hit the pond.

She gasped for air as she surfaced and swam to the edge and laid there coughing. Clairia then stood and started walking through the forest but she could hear whispers. The voices of the dead greeted her with silence when she neared them and as she walked the forest simply seemed to step out of her way. She then saw the war going on. She raised her hand the wolves froze."There will be no more blood spilled today. I release you from my service. Leave this place and never return. The forest opened behind her as the wolves ran and disappeared into the forest.SHe then met the eyes of the hunters as they aimed their weapons at her. Sam ran forward and wrapped his arms around her. She smiled at him as she held him back as her powers quieted. She was back to herself but the hunters handcuffed her and took her to a containment cell. Claira understood their fear and their hesitation to kill her but who was she to argue. She waited in that cell until someone came to speak with her about what happened. The thing is she didn't care and she just wanted to return to the forest in which she once came.

That is for another story...
