Faith stood inside against the wall listening to the men talk. She shook her head, they didn't know what they were talking about they weren't there he
didn't kill a person, he killed whatever that thing was.
Then she heard her mother, that was good they hadn't hurt her and she had made it back. When would this end, she hated this. |

It was then that the tension in the air grew to a crescendo the longer the crowd stayed...there in the very steps of his home no less. Had driven his sense to
an all time high...as his eyes then darted to fiercly gaze upon the crowd that gathered. His hands still slightly bloodied hung close his side.....hands
clenched slightly into a fist ready to fight need be. Mind running wild with rage given the idea of his family being threatened and Faith words spoken him
earlier.
When out the blue she came back, pushing thru the crowd just in time then stand by his side. "I don't know what you are doing here, so you better explain, or leave." To which a gentleman towards the back then stammered say. "Our kids say he killed someone earlier, what do you say about that?" To which thought still slightly in pain shirtless on their porch he could have easily lunged forward hurt him bad. But then again with her there he relented not to and soon let her speak. "Who did he kill?" Which time a man , having place his hand onto the shoulder of another before him replied. "My kid came back so upset she locked herself in her room, took her mother an hour to coax her out, an all she could talk about was HIM, and what he did" by which time she then turn glance over to him just as the same time Faith who had been securely hidden inside. Ronin then came forward and spoke. "Well it is true i did kill someone....or better yet something...and that despite the rules of sanctuary here...the hospital that i broke. I do not deny it although you do not know it but in doing so ....you still have yours as do i have my own daughter here safe. And that it is dead...never to bring harm to any one....justice has been served although the Jedi would disagree....opting to bring it to court....and then what? have it either be lock up for a moment or be rehabilitated .....sent free it would kill again like before...i say not...it ends here and just be glad your children now live in peace. So be gone and leave us be...." I am the Teeth and Talons in the Darkness of night |

Arianna stood watching their faces, the shifting of the weight as they stood, their eyes, where they looked, she looked at their hands...fear...they were
afraid.
They weren't going to do anything, they couldn't their fear of Ronin first, and their fear of really not knowing what happened. She reached over and touched Ronin's hand, turned her head and saw Faith flattened against the wall inside. She whispered, "Ronin, they're afraid" Arianna looked back at the crowd, "If you like we can have the creature dug up, and taken to the hospital for analysis, but I don't recommend it." Arianna assumed Ronin had buried it. "Please go home to your families and as my husband asks, leave us alone" She looked over at Ronin, "Let's go inside" |

It was then that even without a second thought as the blood still slightly drip from his wounded fist. Shifted to a more menacing and defiant gaze, those same
once gentle jade green eyes she so loved now turn dark...heavy with rage...anger...That he could easily have snapped right there and laid waste to all of them
in a heartbeat.....if not for her reaching over. Touching his hand, head then slightly towards where Faith was. Flat against the wall inside as she then leans
over whisper to him.
"Ronin, they're afraid." To which thought his gaze still remain slightly harsh and kept at the crowd before him Ronin replied to her thru thought.Not wanting no one else hear other than her.... 'They better be....or else I'll make them fear me if they don't leave us alone....' It was then with a shift in her gaze came Arianna speaking.the crowd. "If you like we can have the creature dug up, and taken to the hospital for analysis, but I don't recommend it." To which with his sense on hight alert still Ronin kept his eye on them as she came continue. "Please go home to your families and as my husband asks, leave us alone" She then perhaps noticing and sense the change in him then soon looked over at Ronin. "Let's go inside." In which time he relents and walking backwards with his gaze still at the crowd he slowly waited on their response. I am the Teeth and Talons in the Darkness of night |

Arianna looked to Ronin, answering him verbally "You could but you won't, cause then you're becoming what they want" Arianna looked again to
where Faith stood, "They are not the only ones watching"
Arianna knew he could kill them all, she had seen his anger when she had been captured. Her eyes pleaded with him. She looked to the crowd, "Please..please go" "We are going, but we're going to the authorities, we'll get to the bottom of all this" Arianna nodded, "Fair enough" |

Mind still seething with anger that was all but ready to burst forth with such vengeance against the crowd that gathered.Of which Arianna seem no doubt pick up
on and turn meet his gaze then answered verbally.
"You could but you won't, cause then you're becoming what they want." Arianna then glance over to look again to where Faith stood, in seem remind him of what was at stake. "They are not the only ones watching." In which time turn his glance slightly see Faith then back see her pleading gaze at him. Somewhat shook him out of his rage and reaching over to take her hand. Squeezing it lightly and feeling his connection to her strengthen his resove he eventually relented, with a slight nod in agreement. Speaking under his breath to the crowd.... "Very well....the corps is but a few pace from the cave behind the hospital. But you must hurry if you wish to salvage it....that is if there nothing left." It was then that she turn her attention to the crowd to add... "Please..please go" And from the crowd came a response. "We are going, but we're going to the authorities, we'll get to the bottom of all this." In which time still not quite calmed he let Arianna handle the crowd least he does over the edge. Do something unpleasant with any of them with his wife and daughter there.... "Fair enough." I am the Teeth and Talons in the Darkness of night

Arianna walked passed Ronin inside, the people would leave, they had part of their answer. She waited until Ronin came in and closed the door.
She turned and looked at him and than at Faith, "Ronin, come sit down so I can finish looking you over" Arianna pulled the supplies out from under her shirt. "Nice to know the neighbors aren't afraid to come to the door" She exhaled, "See Faith, everything is ok at the moment, we'll deal with the rest tomorrow." Arianna looked at Ronin, they clearly needed to talk, but she wanted to do it in private. Her mind and body switched gears. Arianna patted the sofa, "Please" |

By that time thought the tension in the air still hung heavy with either side thought come to some sort of agreement. Had still tentatively held on with some
lingering distrust of the other that Ronin couldn't help but stand his ground. Like a Sith hound guarding his pride turf from any danger....he eyes them
still with some contempt.
As Arianna then perhaps sense this passed by him hope perhaps with their question answered somewhat...that they would just leave. That perhaps he would relent and stand down perhaps hopefully following his lead. As she then came in thru the door, holding his hand still...patiently waiting till he settled down enough to enter.Close the door behind them if only cut him off from their sight. And somehow break the tension that seem been brewing silently in the process.... "Ronin, come sit down so I can finish looking you over." Turning she looked at him if seem make sure he was alright perhaps before turn face Faith as she then spoke. "See Faith, everything is ok at the moment, we'll deal with the rest tomorrow." In which time still seem apparently somewhat on high alert...adrenaline still pumping in his veins. "Nice to know the neighbors aren't afraid to come to the door. " Thought cut off from the intruders and standing within the safety familiar confines of their home. Ronin still paced and huff with some lingering anger within as she then began empty her pocket and on her shirt. Of supplies and what not that she'd gather from Rekha place no doubt. Exhaling she then like any good mother turn back to Faith in seem silent reassurance.Before turn back to him who still pacing with a look clearly indicating to him that she was wanting a private chat with him. If only get the bottom of what all that was that transpires outside personally.Mind and body seem shifting gears then patted the sofa lightly with her hand as she spoke. "Please..." In which time with her tone or perhaps reasuring demeanor he relented somewhat more and slowly moved over. Partly moving over to the sofa before turn face her and looking aside at Faith spoke. "Alright but if we must...." He then turn walk by Faith unsure how she was going react seeing what he'd done earlier. Came reach over rest his hand on her shoulder....care not if she still might hate him. Voice gentle and yet still some what a bit filled with emotion . "...I'm sorry if you had to witness all that today...unprepared...we'll talk more ...whenever you feel ready to Faith.." Then turning to Arianna continued. "...i would want lay down and rest a bit...we can finish it there if need be.But don't worry i'm fine...so as long you both are....with me still." He then walks slowly towards their quarters....

Arianna watched him with her eyes as he made his position know, and walked toward their bedroom.
Arianna turned her attention toward Faith, "Bed, no arguements" Arianna's teeth clenched, "Stubborn man, I am married to a stubborn man" |

It was hard for him pull himself away and not engage the intruders....to let them go scoot free. Even after creating all that ruckus and being as bold they
had. In come here and pulling that stunt , still fresh in the back his mind as he walked away.
Thought it was hard for him to for a moment walk away from the two most important people in his life like that. He felt in his heart that he had to....before he got too work up and do something he would regret later. And as he passed by her by it was not hard for him notice sense her feelings regarding the matter.Hearing her speak in the background.... "Stubborn man, I am married to a stubborn man" Sometime later he... After walking in the room did he turn grab a new pair of tunic, before sitting on the edge the bed . For a moment, till the adrenaline in his veins slowly wayned. Drain his resolve for a moment that he then fall back lay for a moment. Pain and exhaustion from the earlier fight with the creature.... his eyes then slowly closed. Hands raised to slowly lay on his face, deep breath of sigh...

Faith just watched, "I don't think I have anything to say tonight, its been one of those days that I'll not soon forget, and I don't even
know"
She had seen her in action so to speak, he was fast, and then when he stood on the porch, she knew that he was ready to release his anger on the crowd, but somehow Mom had got him to calm down, to not do it, and then even he backed down, cause he didn't have to listen to her, but he seem to. Maybe that was part of it, maybe she was part of what kept him from becoming a complete monster. So if that were true, what kind of monster would he be without her....and what would happen to her without him. And where did she fit. She got up, and started for her room, she wasn't going anywhere tonight, and besides she was exhausted emotionally. She looked at her Mom, and passed the door of their bedroom. Upstairs she undressed, and laid on the bed, listening, and replaying events in her head. |

Arianna finally alone, went around and collapsed on the couch.
She ran her hand through her hair, and tried to calm her own demons and worries withing. She knew relationships weren't easy, but someone should write a book about marriage to a Sith, with an alter ego, well that wasn't quite the term, but who had the capability to be someone else. Arianna had given Ronin about 20 minutes of peace and time to calm down, before she headed to their bedroom. She picked up the antiseptic and a cloth, she still needed to clean the wounds, whether he liked it or not. Before she entered she cleared her mind, and then pushed the door, and there he was laying on the bed, she walked over and sat on the edge, taking his one hand, and beginning to finish what she started. She waited a moment, "So....what's new?" |

And soon, partly asleep, he soon felt her come in ...sitting on the bed edge Taking one hand in her's Arianna began to finish what she stated spoke.
"So....what's new?" In which time he then slightly awoke, feeling her hold his hand and attending to wounded hand ...came speak. "....seem just another day of trouble for our little family...." I am the Teeth and Talons in the Darkness of night

"Yes, but we seem fine, and we'll get through the rest of it, day by day." She put his hand down, and reached for the other.
"So what did you kill over by the cave?" |

"Yes, but we seem fine, and we'll get through the rest of it, day by day."
Arianna said seem as if only to reassure and calm him down a tad bit more that he was. Knowing perhaps how the earlier events by their doorstep had agitated or anger him so. Having seen first hand the sort of carnage he could inflict in such a state. She no doubt wanted nothing of that sort happen....despite the fact their question had somehow gotten the best her curiosity. She continued tending to him as best she could. Having washed and bandaged one hand Arianna them moved to work on the other. As his silence and avoidance into speaking much of what happen she noticed, yet she persisted as continued on. "So what did you kill over by the cave?" In which with a momentary pause yet bound by his word he then came to turn his head slightly and spoke. "....there is hopefully no need worry dear....but if you must know...it was an ancient creature...an Anzat ....a vile parasite of being....dare to come so close our child....but i show it.....no mercy...i...i ...i killed it before her....and the others...." I am the Teeth and Talons in the Darkness of night |

Arianna Darklighter |

Arianna nodded, "Ahh yes..that would bring them out, but they probably don't know what an Anzat is, just like I"m not quite sure, but....you tell
it is ancient and vile, very well then"
She finished what she had started, "I'm ready for some sleep, and deal with tomorrow" She got up and went to the closet to change her clothes. Something else to deal with she thought. Peace all we ever wanted was our own peace why is it so allusive. |
|||
RoninWendigo |

He then turn his head, looking at her nod slightly as she then spoke....unsure how she was going take what he said.
"Ahh yes...that would bring them out. But they probably don't know what an Anzat is, just like I"m not quite sure. But....you tell it is ancient and vile, very well then." To which thought still in some pain lifting his left hand .... which now had been carefully well taken care of and now patched up by Arianna. He then came reach over and with a reassuring touch spoke. "...i know this maybe quite a bit much to take all at once but.Rest assured that it has been dealt with and will bother us no more." He then slowly sat up on the foot of the bed just as she then spoke. "I'm ready for some sleep, and deal with tomorrow." To which time she then got up and went the closet to change as did he move over to side. Looking thru a side cabinet where he hoped he still had some spare cloth left to change into.And then sat by her side....sense still in high alert...then slowly lean over by ....run his hand thru her hair. As the events of the day play out in his head....knowing how the momentary peace both them strived for...the hopefull normalcy in life now gone....and fleeting as everything had. ' ....why won't they leave us be....' I am the Teeth and Talons in the Darkness of night |

Arianna turned and looked at Ronin, she bent down, and pulled a drawer full of his clothes, "Perhaps something from there?" Arianna searched his
eyes, she stepped closer, "You know, we lead extraordinary lives, we see things that many only wish for, and then if they did see it they wouldn't
know what to do. In our world, chaos is normal, though I would enjoy a few days of peace." Arianna leaned over and kissed his cheek, "You and I
don't know how to be anything else, and Faith will not settle for less than chaos either, its in her blood"
Arianna stepped back away, and pulled her clothing off, and pulled a night shirt out. As she went to pass Ronin she put her hand on his chest, "I want the peace, but I can't live without the chaos, just like I can't live without you. I would rather fight by your side, then sit on the porch in my rocking chair" It had been sometime since they had actually fought together, and she was willing to admit to herself that she missed it, it had brought them closer. |

By that time as she then turn look at him, bending down pull a drawer full of his cloth spoke.
"Perhaps something from there?" She said just as Arianna step closer to him while she spoke. "You know, we lead extraordinary lives, we see things that many only wish for, and then if they did see it they wouldn't know what to do. In our world, chaos is normal, though I would enjoy a few days of peace." As with a slight sigh he spoke. "...that much i say is true....chaos has seem been the norm...and peace seem indeed fleeting ...yet would you see us be anything less nor more what we are to each other because of it?....wish things be anything else than they are...have any regrets ." Arianna then leans over kiss his cheek , "You and I don't know how to be anything else, and Faith will not settle for less than chaos either, its in her blood." As soon while this thought weighted heavily in his mind.....Arianna stepped back away bit. Pulling her cloth off change into a night shirt herself that he stayed still. Deep in thought that just as she passe him, put her hand onto his chest while speaking drew him back to her. "I want the peace, but I can't live without the chaos, just like I can't live without you. I would rather fight by your side, then sit on the porch in my rocking chair." That no sooner had she said this that he snapped out his worries and took her hand into his. Pulling her close and lay his head by her side spoke. "...as i too can say....want nothing less than peace as well for us...but can't help have chaos come in instead. That if nothing less ....my life is draw to you .....that if without you i see nothing but darkness.....draw me to fight hold you close and safe by me....whatever or whomever come our way...you are all but mine as i am all yours..."

Arianna smiled as he spoke, "See even you know we can't have one without the other, so stop fretting about it, and except it as.....well our
destiny."
"whatever or whomever come our way...you are all but mine as i am all yours..." Arianna stepped back, and took Ronin's hand, "Come to bed dearest, put the worry of the day behind us, we need to be fresh for tomorrow" Arianna put her hand on his cheek. "And if you are really good, I'll kiss your boo-boo" Arianna headed toward the bed. |
