2009/10- High Strung

(fyi: This was written from Kaoori's point of view and thoughts, and therefore, WILL be biased and discombobulated. xD;; . )

I cannot look at him anymore.  The fact that  someone so devout wants to do harm to someone I love so dearly makes me  almost lose control.   I am a kind deer. I don't harm others. 

Unless they decide to mess with someone I love. 

I was so angry, I don't even know what had  gotten into me.  The way he, and the others mentioned they had to "do  something" about Wesker... What did THEY know? There are more 'evil'  things in this forest.  And let him try to 'banish' him.  I won't allow  it.  I won't!

So when he strode by me today, as if nothing has ever happened.. I  embarassed myself in front of Queze by rearing and charging the Priest.

And he shook his head no.   Walked away. 

....do not ignore me!! ...

I continued, and he again walked away.   Queze calmed me for a while, but then he took his leave and I could not  fight my urge to track the priest down. I had to talk to him, maybe even  yell at him.  He didn't understand anything.  How could he?  How could  he forgive Darkweaver for killing Wesker but would not leave Wesker  alone for being?

Again.

And again.

A shake of the head.

I vaguely remember Aegle there..  

I screamed at him, yelling insults, taunting,  laughing.   .. Finally I lowered my antlers, once, twice.  

And pushed him past the breaking point.

I was almost knocked off my feet as his weight slammed into me.  I  hadn't realized that it was a stupid idea to chase him around and then  try to fight when you've used most of your energy..

I dug my hooves into the ground, and I watched as the dirt filled around  them. I was sliding.  I pushed up, kicking with my front hooves.  Did I  hit?  A grunt.  Maybe a small one..

The antlers came again, and I managed to dodge, running to more solid  ground.  I lowered these flimsy butterfly horns, and charged.. I don't  know how I managed to avoid most of those massive antlers..

..he was laughing at me..

..Aegle was shaking her head no.. at who..?

My breath was knocked out of me as I flipped to the ground, taking the  brunt of his full charge.  By now, I knew I was not going to win.  This  was foolish of me, taking on a full grown, healthy stag. My legs  scrambled, digging into the ground, looking for purchase.

He was coming again..  towards my side and I went to turn, to face him.

Before I could even react, a sharp pain shot through my side and I  screamed, looking.  One of his antler tines.. it was.. stuck..

Even he looked shocked.  I staggered as he pulled the tine out, hearing  the sickening noise,  feeling like the world was spinning. 

blood on the ground? My blood..?

I blinked, staring at the priest as he walked away.  I thought he laughed once more.  But.. my eyes were blurred...

I needed to find somewhere to hide, to lay down.  Gathering my wits, I  limped off in the direction of the ruins, to where Wesker and I always  lie.
