The sounds of his hooves against the ground in a timed rythmn. The sound of his head beating in his chest. His lungs, contracting and expanding in time with that beating, taking in oxygen to keep him going. Blood on his pelt, the sharp, metallic smell putting a smile on his face. This is who he should have been, a killer roaming the lands and taking lives left and right, no mery. Someone with no alliances in either direction, only answering to himself and doing as he pleased and everyone else leaving him alone. It wasn't the life he had wanted, but it was the life he was living, right now. Ember was like a presence in his mind. She didn't speak, but her influence was there. Maybe it had always been there, he was pretty sure it had been; just waiting for the chance to jump out and take hold of his body, to command it to do as he was taught. In some twisted way he enjoyed the kill, the screams, relished in it. A feeling he had never truly known. Everything before had been clouded with fear and uncertainty, and now, he was confident. He knew the way his own body moved, the way it would slice into another's skin and peel away their life force, their essence, their soul. He knew all of these things, it came naturally to him. If he had been in the right mind, he would have been worried about his sanity, about those lives he was destroying, and would have done anything to prevent it; but it was like that section of himself was sleeping, and he couldn't wake up. It was useless. In the beginning, he tried to fight it; had even succeeded enough to get away from that mare, Laelius. Though, that red one wasn't so fortunate. A pelt so vibrant the blood hardly showed. It was not very enjoyable to watch, and she hadn't even protested much as he killed her, only for a moment before her weak body went limp and he was left without a play toy once again. Sad really, that it had ended so fast. He had still been partially aware, and when the darker side of himself wanted to turn back, knowing that surely Lia would be far more defiant, he had been able to get far enough away, where he couldn't hurt her. There had been others on the journey, and with each kill he made, part of him slipped furth and further away. Now he had little control at all, and he could barely tell the difference between what was supposed to be good and bad. Was there a difference? It was all just him, just Keanu. All of this violence had been buried up inside of him and only barely coming out. It must have always been there, and now it was a part of him, melding and taking over his more caring personality. It was as if he no longer existed. He snorted, tossing his head and rolling his eyes as he pivoted, the smell of someone else in the area hitting him like a train. A familiar scent thought he couldn't place it. His eyes glazed over and he pawed at the ground, standing where he was a waiting for the creature to show itself. Images of tearing someone else apart flashed in his mind and he smiled, his body shaking with anticipation. He could feel her praise around him, the feeling of success and he basked in that glow, only wishing it would stay. He was no longer Keanu, he was a dark creature that had chosen to live inside his body. Even his eyes held a golden shimmer that was other worldly, something else was in control. ==Author's Comments . Word Count 643 . Notes - Okay, so I would suggest approaching him...cautiously. heh. .

Laelius slender form weaved through the trees. The owl fluttered by her, occasionally brushing her side, or ears, or whatever. Her purple eyes looked over at the ghostly figure, and the owl hooted feebly, landing on a tree perch.

Lia's eyes had been based on purple sense Keanu left, she was thinking maybe they had just stopped changing colors. Did she really care about Keanu that much? She could feel the owl's eyes bore into her before it lifted away again. It disappeared in the trees, and Lia snorted, picking up pace. The owl suddenly darted back, passing through her. She stopped, twisting her head around as the owl cowered on her withers. She shook her head and turned her head back around as the wind blew a scent to her nose. It forced her knees to buckle and her body to take a step back. This scent- it was oddly familiar, but one she couldn't place. It had a hint of someone she had met a while ago, but had taken a big change. That wasn't really possible though, was it?

The owl pecked at her neck as she stepped forward and Lia pinned her ears, shaking the owl off her withers. She walked forward, towards the clearing and beaching through the thick foliage. her purple eyes scanned the white pelt, down to the scar bearing legs. No, it wasn't. But… it was? How was his scent changed. From here she could see the difference in him. His pelt ragged and dirty, skin and bones he was, and his eyes glowed an odd color. His hooves seemed to have been stained a different color. She blinked, this wasn't Keanu. What had happened? Had she done something to him?

"Keanu… wha-what happened to you?!" Lia stammered, still unable to believe her eyes.

So this creature knew him? He took a step forward, neck arching up and staring at the mare as a predator would his prey. He said nothing as he stepped again, his movements sharp and quick. Her pelt was so light, almost like his, and her blood would show so beautifully across it. A bright vibrant red across the golden and white. He smiled, though it was an eerie smile. He chuckled, sensing her confusion and a tinge of fear. He inhaled, yes so much fear. He was close enough to smell other things, and that made him smile deeper. He was surprised she hadn't run yet though, he would surely love a good chase. The other mare- the red one- hadn't even tried to get away. She had accepted her fate. If this one was the same, perhaps he would make her suffer more. Much more. His dark eyes, showing almost no remnants of the striking blue they used to be, met her own, strange purple ones. Something inside him hit him and he fell to the ground. "No, no no no!" It cried, for a breif moment. Though before the creature could warn the mare, he growled, twisting back up and biting into her neck. The smell of blood his his nostrils and he pulled back, almost dancing as he shook, nose drinking in the scent and his lips were stained with the red liquid. He winced, taking a step back that was not entirely his choice. A feeling of disappointment washed over him and he growled again, wanting to feel the pride from earlier. Where had it gone?! He tried to jump forward, to attack the creature again, but his legs were locked and he didn't move at all. He snapped his head back to look at the mare. Was she doing it? Did she have some mind powers that was preventing him from attacking her? He roared, narrowing his eyes at her as his body twitched and shook, trying to break free of this cursed hold. All of a sudden he stopped, head pulling up and a blank expression pulling over his face. "It's not.. safe," he forced the words out of his lips before the body became animate once again. It growled, shaking its whole body and taking a step forward. ==Author's Comments . Word Count 396 . Notes - ach. D: . Muse - keanubabyy . Tags - lia

Keanu stalked forward. It was like he was hunting her. The owl fluttered and squawked, circling above her. He laughed, his dark eyes staring into hers. He stumbled, falling. 'No, no, no, no!' He shrieked, yet then his form growled and jumped up, launching at her and tearing into her neck. She winced and stepped back, her eyes flashing red before settling at purple.

Keanu stepped back, yet growled again, he remained still, as if forced to stay in place. He snapped his head back up, and roared as his body shook. 'It's not… safe,' the words forced, yet he growled again, regaining whatever it was and stepping back towards her.

Lia stepped forward, standing her full height as she stared into his dark eyes- they weren't his. Something was taking over- trying to take over. "Keanu. This isn't you. I know you're down in there somewhere. I know it. Whatever this is- fight it, Keanu. I know you can do it. Look past this, Keanu…" Lia said, eyes wavering and shimmering, fading into a lighter, brighter color much liked gold. She stepped towards him, confident, no fear.

She reached her maw towards him, touching hers to his, gentle, her eyes watching his.

She wasn't afraid? Why wasn't she afraid? She should be. She even stepped towards him. What was this? Why was she walking towards him? WHY WASN'T SHE AFRAID? It made him angry and his nostrils flared. She should be very much afraid. But before he could step towards her she reached for him, touching her muzzle to his. He froze, looking at her, his eyes brightening just a bit. A pleading look appeared on his face. Why couldn't she leave? Didn't she understand that he could hurt her? That he would? Didn't she see that he was dangerous? He had no control over his actions, he was a loose cannon, and yet she still stayed standing right there; putting way too much faith into who she thought she knew. Into who he was supposed to be, but someone...couldn't. The evil thoughts were pulling back and he quickly jumped a stride behind him, away from her. He didn't want to hurt her. Why couldn't she understand that? "Lia.." he choked out, shaking his head and taking another step back. Maybe if he tried to run again...maybe nothing would happen. She would be safe. He looked at her and knew that she would follow him though, and surely lead herself to death and he would never forgive himself. What was he supposed to do? "You..need to leave." He forced himself to say, fighting again, to remain this, to remain him. It was like Ember was pulling at him and he couldn't get away. All that she wanted out of him was what he wanted, and it confused him so much. What did he want? Everything now was so conflicted with the past and he couldn't think straight. It was all such a blur and he didn't know what to do! "I'll hurt you..." He whispered, shaking his head madly. He didn't want to hurt her, he didn't! But everything kept saying that he did. That he was meant to hurt people. "GO!" He screamed, wishing that she would listen. That he wouldn't hurt her. It broke his heart to force her away, but what else was he supposed to do? ==Author's Comments . Word Count 385 . Notes - DDDD: keanuu . Muse - :D . Tags - lia

Keanu froze, his eyes starting to brighten by the tiniest, and a pleading look washed over his face. 'Lia..' Keanu shook his head and stepped back and Lia's heart slowed, her eyes darkening again. 'You.. need to leave. I'll hurt you…' He said, shaking his head harder, 'GO!' He screamed, and Lia jumped slightly. This wasn't him.

"Keanu," Lia said, shaking her own head this time. "I'm not leaving, I know you wouldn't hurt me." Lia said, stepping forward slowly. "Look past this, Keanu. I know you can!" Lia encouraged, her breathing picking up slightly. "Keanu, you showed me the real you, back in the winter. You were… kind, protective… caring. Keanu, I most likely would not of survived if you had not been there, you helped me through all of it and now it's my turn to help you through this, Keanu." Lia's eyes swirled a new color, a bright, sparkling… green?

"Keanu, fight it. I know you can." Lia said, stepping closer and brushing his pelt as she passed and turned, leaning into him. Lia turned to face him, noticing how he hadn't attacked, "Keanu, I know you're not the person to attack, to kill. I don't know what has taken over you, but fight it. Fight it as hard as you can!" Lia whispered, encouraging, eyes sparkling.

"Keanu, I- I love you."

She wouldn't listen. She just shook her head and walked closer, claiming that he wouldn't. how could she possibly know that he wouldn't? He hoped he wouldn't, but what if he did? He would never forgive himself! She described him, as she saw him, and every time she said his name it was like a blow. A blow to whatever was controlling him. She stepped closer to him, touching him. He froze, frightened. Why wasn't she afraid? He was so very afraid. He shook, wanting to bolt but wasn't able to. Why couldn't she understand? Why was she standing there? Encouraging him? No, not him, the other part of him. The part that wasn't him. Why was she doing this?! She leaned against him and his shaking ceased, his eyes widened as he stared ahead. He could feel her heart beating against his side and he could feel her eyes on him though he didn't turn to meet them. She whispered to him, telling him to fight. He wasn't a fighter though. He never had been...never would be. It was one of the reasons Ember hated her decision to take him. He didn't want, or even like, to hurt people. It wasn't his nature. Yet there was an instinct embedded in him, an instinct that she taught him, and it was was surfacing not matter how much he tried to push it away. Why wouldn't it go away? Why couldn't he just be him? "Keanu, I- I love you." Something inside him broke and slithered away. He could feel it, as if it was a physical separation. She...loved him? How could she possibly love him? His head turned, his eyes searching for the lie that had to be her words. She couldn't possibly... Though he found sparkling green orbs and the lies he was looking for were not there. In that moment he realized that he loved her too. Why else had he tried so hard to protect her, even before he was the threat? Why else had he stuck around even when he thought it would be best if he left? He let out a shaky breath, closing his eyes, "Lia..." he whispered softly, touching his muzzle to her forehead. "I love you too." Suddenly his patronus appeared, after being gone for so long. The axolotl form floated between Keanu's ears for a moment before unsuccessfully tugging on his mane, trying to get his attention. What is going on? It asked drowsily and Keanu jumped back, frightened for a moment that perhaps Ember had gained the ability to speak to him while he was awake. Though, when he realized that his patronus had come back he breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't Ember. In fact, there were not remnants of Ember anywhere. She was..gone. He shook his head, his mind suddenly feeling very empty. There were no other thoughts but his own. Nothing else. He turned back to Laelius, ears perked and his eyes the same color they always should have been. "It's..gone," he said, "Just me." He smiled, touching his forehead to her neck, "Just me," he whispered, wrapping his neck over hers and wishing he would never have to let go. ==Author's Comments . Word Count 561 .

'Lia… I love you too,' Keanu whispered, touching his maw to her forehead. Lia exhaled, taking in his scent. She knew he could do it. A before long, his patronus appeared out of no where, floating above Keanu's head. Keanu jumped back, but the sighed and turned back to Lia.

His ears were perked forward, his eyes back to its bright original color. 'It's.. gone, just me. Just me.' He smiled, touching is forehead to her neck before wrapping his around hers. Lia smiled pulling in closer to him. Her heart fluttered in her chest, her eyes sparkling green, brimming with happy tears. "I knew you could do it, Keanu." Lia said softly, the happy tears running down her face silently. She listened to his heartbeat, leaning into his ragged form that was already somehow changing back to it's original state. "I missed you…" Lia whispered, curling into his chest.

No matter how much he had begged her to go, to leave him, he was so happy she had stayed. He couldn't describe it. It was like everything was suddenly..better. And the small part of him that Ember continued to have a hold on..was gone. She couldn't bother him any longer. Though he still had the memories of what he had done. He sucked in a breath, lifting and turning his head away. That poor mare... He suddenly took off, hoping that somehow.. possibly.. he could fix this. Though in the back of his head he knew there was no way. He broke through the trees and soon the smell of blood was strong and he halted, sliding across the slick ground. He nickered softly, shaking as he stepped forward, wishing that somehow, what he would find would be okay. But it wasn't. He closed his eyes, leaning against a tree as he surveyed the area. What had he done? He choked back a sob, sliding to the bloodstained ground; the tree back biting into his skin. He was a monster, no matter what had control of him. He was capable of sure horrible things. His face was a mask of agony, reflecting what the mare must have felt as he tore into her. What kind of creature did this? Tears silently streamed down his face as he set it on the ground, blood sticking to his stomach and legs, but he didn't care. How could he possibly make up for this? ==Author's Comments .

Lia bumped her maw against his shoulder softly, a smile playing across her lips. But suddenly he pulled away, running off. Lia's knees buckled, her heart wrenching. "K-Keanu?" Lia whimpered slightly, but he slipped behind the trees. Her legs shook and her ears dropped like a sad puppy's. Her front legs collapsed under her and her knees fell to the ground.

Her back legs swung and fell to the side, pulling her to the ground. Her eyes darkened to purple as her head hit the muddy ground and she winced, her hindquarters landing on something sharp. Mud smeared across her red coat and she slid down the hill towards the trees where Keanu disappeared. Her mane and tail tangled, plastering to her coat. Why... why had he left? "Keanu?" her voice croaked. No. She would not let him just leave like that.

Lia jumped up, the mud sticking to her right side. She ran after him into the thick trees. She found his white form scratched with blood at the bottom of a tree. "Keanu! Don't do this to yourself- what happened, it wasn't your fault. It wasn't you. You had no control over yourself, Keanu." Lia said, stumbling forward and laying next to him, and leaning against him, touching her maw to his neck. "It's okay Keanu, It's okay..." Lia said, her voice soft.
