Closure Part I

[Darrla Blackmoon]

Malfrith walks over to the table, and begins writing up a letter.

Darrla begins murmoring in her sleep, her entire body covered in sweat.

Malfrith looks back, a sadness could be seen clearly in his eyes. He looks back to the letter and finishes it. walking quietly to her side.

Darrla begins coughing in her sleep, blood splattering into a kerchief that she had been hiding, it was covered in dried blood already.

Malfrith eyes open wide as he slips his mask over his head a momment, showing his scarred face. He placed the letter sneakily in her dress, (So she couldent miss it lol). After he gets on his knees next to her, taking the rag and wiping her mouth

Darrla slowly shakes, her body hot to the touch, and her dress now soaked from sweat. After a few more minutes she stops coughing, her mouth full of blood and her hair matted to her face from the sweat.

Malfrith sobs quietly at her side, reaching into his bag and pulling out the water pouch going to rinse her mouth out, "I'm so...-sorry-...Why coulden't I have died..." his voice shook as he spoke.

Darrla whimpers in her sleep some more as her teeth begin to chatter. "Please don't let them take me...."

Malfrith begins to humm her song quietly, reaching up and gently brushing her hair. Still tears poured down his cheek.

Darrla smiles in her sleep. Nobody knew that song except for him, and he seemed to be the only one that was able to scare away the nightmares. The dreams may have been gone, but her fever never ceased and her whole body shook with the chills.

Malfrith hears footsteps outside and quickly pulls down his mask. Whispering something quietly to Darrla as she sleeps. He goes to stand and walk outside trying to calm himself.

Malfrith whispers: Goodbye my love...'

Darrla whimpered once more as she began to flail a bit in her sleep. "Don't let them take me away from my family....."

Malfrith hears her and stops in his tracks. Looking back at her a momment, and lets out a quiet sigh. He steps out of the doorway and looks to the three from behind his mask, "There is coin to be gotten Aarik." he says strongly.

Darrla begins to cry aloud as the singing ceased, she began to flail a bit more, thank goodness nobody was in the room with her.

Malfrith looks back at darrla eyes opened wide, "No! No it dosen't! I must take care of this woman, she is sick! I apoligize Aarik."

Darrla grasps ahold of the blankets and thrashes about as sweat beads from her entire body, her legs entangled with the sheets now as she cries again. "Let me go!"

Aarik blinks again. Turning from Mal to Lainie. "Er... did I miss something?"

Malfrith looks back at Darrla once more, "I apoligize, I truely do." he walks back into and shuts the door behind him.

Aarik shakes his head, muttering something nonpolite about 'skirts'.

Darrla wiggles in the bed trying to get free. "Don't take me from my family...please!"

Malfrith walks over to the side of the bed, humming her song once more.

Aarik says, 'Well... So there's -not- any work tonight. *returns to the table, slowly sitting down*'

Darrla whimpers still gripping the covers tight as her breaths are still jagged, she begins coughing once more, blood spitting out from her mouth as those deep winded coughs are expelled.

Malfrith wipes away the blood from her mouth continuing to hum the song.

Darrla slowly loosens her grip, yet her brows were furrowed and her eyes clentched, she was afraid. "Don't....let them take....me..." :Her breaths were slower as her coughing ceased:

Malfrith thinks to himself as he hums the song. Sprouting an idea he goes to scoop her up.

Darrla is scooped up, her entire body heated, and her dress soaked in sweat.

Malfrith opens the door with his foot, "I know what will help her..." he said quietly to the other as he went to leave.

Ellbor stares at malfrith "il let you go sence you have darrla but i am still going to get you."

Malfrith says, 'Thank you... Your spear is in beggars alley by the black rock. I have no want for it.'

Ellbor says, 'wait what is worng with her?'

Ellbor nods "do you mind if i go with you and see if she's okay?"

Malfrith nods, "I do not mind, I'm taking her to the roofs." he holds Darrla tightly in one arm and begins climbing up.

Malfrith lays darrla down on the rooftop, "Are you satisfied now?" he says looking over to ellbor

Ellbor looks to malfrith "no not yet."

Malfrith frowns, "And what will? I wish time alone with this woman."

Darrla is noticably better now that she is out of the house. She isn't thrashing as much and her hands no longer clentched shut. Yet her fever was still apparent and she began coughing once more, blood sputtering out of her mouth:

Ellbor looks at darrla backing up "until i see her better and see you fall of this roof."

Malfrith laughs standing up, "See the thing is, if you don't leave us alone. Im gonna kill ya. So you can leave, and all of us live. Or you can stay and die."

Ellbor shakes his head "why do you wish death right now lets fix her up then i will kill you."

Malfrith laughs pulling his unsheathing his blades elegantly, "Cause I don't need you to do that. Have you not learned from past experinces mate?"

Ellbor takes his leave.

Darrla though she -was- now in the open, her nightmares began to haunt her once more. She began thrashing about, which was not good atop a roof. She whimpered as the dreams took over.

Darrla slowly opened her eyes to see nothing but rooftops. Her eyes grow wide as she fumbles around trying to get a grasp and good footing as she attempts to stand.

Malfrith takes a few steps back, pulling his mask off along with his hood. Simply staring at her.

Darrla sees Malfrith and backs up withdrawing her sword almost immediately. "What is going on?"

Malfrith says, 'Sindarin: My love... *Normal tongue: Making sure you we're ok.'

Darrla growls. "What care you for how I am doing? You left me! Left me to be with her!" :She growls stepping towards him, her hands shaking with anger, yet her sword drawn and pointed at him:

Malfrith says, '*Gets down on his knees infront of her* I left you, for your own good. I was a waste of your life Darrla, a burden.'

Darrla growls as she steps closer to him her sword now at his neck. "NO! You abandoned me, just like all the rest! Left me to be with Gwyn!"

Malfrith says, '*Pushes his throat closer to her blade* I did it for you... You know this.'

Darrla growls as the blade pierces his flesh. "NO! You lie! You left me, abadoned me like everyone else in my life. I'm all alone now! You wanted to be with her all along."

Malfrith says, '*Dosen't budge as the blade peirces his throat* Everything I've done has been for you, do you not know this from the past?'

Darrla steadies her hand and takes a step closer. "Are you happy?"

Malfrith says, 'Sindarian: I will never be happy again without you.'

Darrla growls as she jabs at his neck again. "Stop speaking in that high and mighty language...."

Malfrith says, '*Closes his eyes* Either put the blade away and talk to me, or finish it.'

Darrla says, 'Tell me if you are happy! :She shouted:'

Malfrith says, 'I am not.'

Darrla shakes her head. "You are a fool. I should end your miserable life right now." :she paused for a moment: "Is that what you want?"

Malfrith says, 'I am a fool, and you should end my life. No, I do not wish to die, I woulden't be able to love you in death.'

Darrla unsheaths her second sword. "Does she make you happy? Do you love her?"

Malfrith says, '*Shakes his head* I do not love her as I do you.'

Darrla growls once more as she takes a step forward jabbing her blade into his chest just over his heart. "That is not what I asked."

Malfrith says, 'There are many different definitions of love, ones for lovers, others for friends, and family. *Reaches down and lifts his shirt, Revealing the freshly carved DARRLA*'

Darrla sighs and shakes her head as her sword moves deeper into his flesh. "You are pathetic, forget about me and go be happy."

Malfrith says, 'I am pathetic, but I will never leave you alone. I will always watch you, always give you gifts...Although I am no longer worthy of you, I will always show my love.'

Malfrith says, 'I've always been pathetic. You still loved me.'

Darrla growls as she plunges her sword deep into his chest (or attempts to), only the sword went sideways missing any vital organs. "I don't love you! Leave me alone, I don't ever want to see you again!"

Malfrith says, '*Eyes open wide, tears pouring down his face from her words rather than her blade. He rolls to the side, blood following him down the roof. His body stoping as it reached the windowthingy that is up here*'

Darrla turns away from him. Her heart feeling as if it had sunk into her stomach. She wanted to vomit, none of those words she meant, but if that is what she had to say to make him happier with someone else, that is what she said. "Now leave my sight you pathetic excuse for a man."

Malfrith says, '*Spoke weakly up to her, his face expresionless* Sindarin: Never...'

Darrla had no idea what he was saying but tears rolled down her face as her back was faced to him. "If I see you again, I will kill you. Right now, you just aren't worth my time." :She had no idea what she could say to make him forget about her: "I have no respect for your pathetic soul, and the day you left me, I slept with another man because I didn't love you."

Malfrith says, 'Your wedding dress looked beautiful on you...*He said interupting her*'

Malfrith says, 'You never needed me, nor did you love me?...But I still will love you.'

Darrla tried her hardest to maintain that stern voice of hers. Which she succeeded, but she bit her lip afterwards so hard that it bled. "You sicken me, I hope you die in a ditch where the pigs will feast on your flesh." :With that she jumped off the roof, landing somewhat gracefully, perhaps spraining an ankle, but she would walk as straight as ever.:

[Darrla Blackmoon]

(This was right after Dar stabbed Malfrith. She went into the backroom of the Pony)

Darrla lets go of Ellbor as she falls to the ground slipping out of the chair and gasping for air, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Ellbor trys to pick up darrla "did that man hurt you?"

Darrla shakes her head no. "Leave me here please....I need to rest. He didn't hurt me...he is a fool!" :She coughs continuously spitting up more blood:

Gavryn glances into the doorway, a hand on the frame. "Anything I can do? Seems yer havin' a hell of a time, Miss."

Ellbor looks to gravryn "she is fine now leave."

Gavryn says, 'Ooh, look who knows so much! Fine, let her die then. I'll make sure they know it was your call.'

Gavryn bows deeply.

Ellbor looks down at darrla "can i get you anything water?"

Darrla nods to Ellbor. "Thank you. Go get me some water please." :She gasps for more air yet continues to spit up more blood:

Gavryn says, '...bitch.'

Ellbor hands darrla the water.

Darrla takes the water and attempts to drink it, yet she merely coughs the water up, her hands shaking. She places the cup down so more water doesn't spill. She continues to cry, the tears shed down her cheeks and creating puddles on the floor.

Darrla points at the door. "Go guard the door, if anyone comes close, send them away. And shut the door behind you."

Ellbor nods his head "yes boss."

Darrla continues to spit up blood, tears pouring from her eyes as she cries like a blubbering fool.

Ellbor looks at viri then yells to darrla "its viri can she come in?"

Darrla could not speak, she merely waves her hand to indicate that she could, but the door was shut. So she tried to speak, yet her voice cracked and she began to choke up more blood.

Ellbor motions viri to come in "she is sick i gave her water but i did not do anything."

Tarastor says, 'Oh, hey.'

Ellbor says, 'you cant come in this room.'

Tarastor says, 'Why not?''

Viri Looks down at Darrla the only sign of any emotion apparent in her eyes as they were filled with concern. she would go over and pick up the glass of water and holds it up to Darrla as she put a hand on her sisters back.

Ellbor stands infront of the close door "they dont need you in there now leave."

Darrla 's eyes were saddened at the sigh of Viri, she wanted to say sorry so badly. But she couldn't utter a word. She tried to take in some water but she ended up coughing it back up again mixed with blood.

Tarastor says, '.. they? Ohhh.'

Viri shakes her head as she rubs Darrla's back still holding the cup of water to her lips. "You need to drink."

Ellbor says, 'now you can leave sir.'

Tarastor says, 'Well, I'm gonna stand here.'

Darrla was so upset and frazzled her sobbing was almost violent as tears kept streaming down her eyes. She couldn't get ahold of herself to utter a word.

Ellbor shakes his head "just leave i dont want to do anything right now."

Tarastor says, 'You don' have to. 'cause I won't either.'

Viri smiles at Darrla kindly as she continued to urge Darrla to drink. "Drink some water for me sis. I don't want anything bad to happen to you."

Darrla tries to calm down her sobs, and ends up successful as she takes a sip. And inbetween her sobs she managed to speak a few words. "I...I had to make him go..."

Viri nods her head as she continued to rub her sisters back as she waited till Darrla had drank the entire cup of water. "Lets get you calmed down and a bit healthier before we talk too much."

Darrla shakes her head and begins to whimper as those tears kept streaming down her face still. She took a few more sips of water and began coughing again but still spoke between the fits of her cough. "I saw Malfrith.....had to make him go.....he's not happy+

Malrex glances at Will, then at the man with the spears. His gray eyes start to squint into a glare.

Tarastor says, 'Oh. Hey.'

Darrla -...." :She paused and shook her head as she cried: "He still.....loves me....." :She spat up more blood:

Ellbor stnads infront of the colsed door.

Malrex nods "hail Will, this man giving you trouble?"

Tarastor shrugs. "Nah. Ain't letting me in th' room, which means I know exactly who's in it."

Malrex nods "I see."

Viri nods her head as she sets the cup of water down before giving her sister a hug. "Well sis why does that mean so much to you."

Tarastor says, 'Did I miss somethin'?"'

Ellbor nods "we payed for the room it a private gathering in there they dont want anyone to come in."

Darrla cries and shakes her head as she whispers, her voice coming out as a squeek. "I had to do it....to make him leave.....I had to hurt him.....nothing worked...." :She cried into Viri's shoulder: "I just want him to be happy." :She continued to cough up blood and immediately moved herself away from Viri so none of the blood would get on her.:

Viri nods her head as she moves to stay next to Darrla. "Then being like this is not going to help him be happy Darrla. He wouldn't want you sad."

Darrla cries. "He said he wasn't happy with her....." :She shook her head and tried to drown out her sobs with more water: "He won't let me go, he will never be happy if he can't do that...." :Her body begins to sway back and forth as she grows dizzy:

Viri shakes her head as she tried to comfort Darrla. "Well Darrla there is always the hope that if you remain around you can always keep some kind of relationship with him."

Darrla places her hands infront of her to grab Viri's shoulder. "It would hurt too much...." :And then suddenly everything went black and her entire body fell backwards, hitting her head hard on the table behind her, a loud CLUNK could be heard:

Ellbor peaks in the room hearing a clunk but quickley shuts the door.

Viri cries out as Darrla falls backwards trying to grab her before she hit the table or floor only to fail. She would cry as she tried to wake Darrla up gently.

Darrla was breathing, but would not wake up. She had too much going on, so much commotion and excitment, she overexerted herself in her ill state, and now she was out cold for the second time today.

Tarastor says, 'Hey, that don't sound too good.'

Viri picks Darrla up and lays her down over on the bench frowning as she did.

Tarastor says, '... Think you should go and look?''

Viri shakes her head as she sits down on the edge of the coffee table trying to wash the blood off Darrla's face as she waited for her sister to wake up.

Ellbor says, 'its fine.'

Darrla begins sweating profusely her whole body shaking as she begins to whimper in her sleep.

Tarastor says, 'It don't /sound/ fine.'

Viri cuts off a piece of darrla's cloak as she dabbed the sweat off Darrla's face.

Darrla gently thrashes some more as she cries again, still not waking up.

Ellbor looks at tarastor "It is fine in there."

Tarastor says, 'It don't /sound/ fine.'

Viri tries to hold Darrla down on the bench so she didn't thrash around too much and break anyhting or hurt herself.

Ellbor says, 'no one can go in the room.'

Darrla begins to cough hard between her words. "I will keep our promise brother, I will return to you."

Tarastor says, 'You don' sound very convincin'.'

Ellbor says, 'they paid for this room and there is a meeting going on in there nothing bad at all.'

Tarastor says, '... Uh-huh.'

Viri removes Darrla's swords setting them under the table as she goes back to cleaning the sweat off Darrla's face.

Ellbor says, 'it is only a meeting and nothing else stop distrubing me.'

Darrla flails her arms about trying to grab at something. She finds Viri and pulls her close. "Please forgive me brother...I'm so sorry...I promise I will return to you soon." :She begins coughing more violently and spitting out more blood:

Viri hugs Darrla trying to calm her down as she hums that familiar soothing tune.

Darrla whimpers in her sisters arms as tears stream down her face. "I'm so sorry...." :She opens her eyes whiping the blood from her mouth and sees Viri: "Please...can we get out of here?"

Viri Nods her head she would pick sling Darrlas swords over her back before picking her sister up. Walking slowly over to the door she would knock on it with her foot.

Viri says, 'Need help getting Darrla out of here and somewhere else.'

Ellbor picks up darrla "lead on."
