She found a backpack near the small lake's edge, and picked it up. Faela heard a noise nearby, a snap of a twig as she stood there, startled like some animal. She saw a figure emerge from the woods around her, appearing from behind a tree. It was a tall and lean man, wearing long black pants, boots and a long sleeved white shirt. They were simple clothes, and his short brown hair was messed up slightly. "There you are! Did you get him?" He asked approaching her. "Get who?" she asked, blinking. "Who are you?"
"Now that's a stupid question. You must have hit your head really hard on a rock somewhere. I'm Tobias. So, did you get him or not?" He looked around her, studying his surroundings. "I guess not." he added.
"We were after someone?"
"We always are. We're Demonhunters." He sighed. "this forgetful act is getting really annoying Arafaela."
Oh, so that's my name, she thought. "Arafaela?" she said slowly.
"Hmm, must have done some serious damage girl." he answered with a laugh.
"what's a demon?"
"Dark and sinful creatures who feed off the living. We have to destroy them. All of them. Before they become any more powerful."
She could imagine dark monsters lurking in darkness. she hunted them? The thought alone was frightening.
"what do they look like?"
"Like us, really. Like mortals, too. Only difference is the fangs, or wings, or claws.... all sorts of odd things."
"So we're not mortal?"
He laughed again. "Geez Faela! No, we're Angels. They take one bite of us and they turn to dust. Unless..."
"Unless what?" she blinked. Were angels really that invincible?
"Unless they find some Anti."
"anti-what?"
"I call it Anti. can't remember the other part. You see, only a few of them can make it. Alchemists. They inject it, or get it in their blood some other way. Then if they bite an angel there is a different effect. The blood mixes and makes them stronger, a hybrid I suppose. We don't want many of thme prowling around. They will be hard to take down."
"Will be? So we haven't fought one?"
"Of course not! They are incredibly powerful. We can't do that alone."
She sighed, picked up her backpack and slung it over her shoulders, then stooped down to put her boots on.
"Well, I shall be on my way. I have some things to do. You keep an eye out for those demons."
"You're not coming with me?" she asked, her heart sinking as she would be so lost and confused without anyone to guide her. "What weapon can I use?"
"I can't come with you. Just follow the path out, you'll be fine. We have powers for a reason, Faela." He laughed. He then disappeared into the forest, glad that their plan had worked. She didn't remember a thing, so they could tell ehr whatever they wanted. And do what they wanted.

This is something I am writing randomly about my character. I'd like to write a story someday and am just putting in bits here and there to get ideas. If you would like to give any feedback please feel free to do so. sorry if my writing sucks. xp

Faela opened her eyes, feeling cool water all around her. Suddenly she realised she was completely underwater, and sat up to break the surface and breathe air as if it were the first time she had done so. How did she get here? She looked around, studying her surroundings. She was in a shallow lake, green woodland around her with small bushes and a hint of wildlife, the sun high in the sky and warming her skin. She sat there in a plain blue dress, looking like some average human with long dark hair and soft grey eyes. Faela blinked. She felt slightly woozy, standing up slowly and gaining her bearings. Her head hurt, and she ground her teeth as she felt the pain as if for the first time, shocked by it's sudden appearance and quite unhappy with the result. There were no paths nearby, no way to lead her out of this massive forest.

Ack, I just woke up with a splitting headache... And no, I am not suffering a hangover. It's a random headache. Anyways, I'll have to remember what happened last night. I woke up on the couch, and recognised some of the patrons around me. There was Ishi, he spoke to someone for a while and seemed very unhappy, and afterwards was looking at this picture of his wistfully. I think he dearly misses someone close and no-one can ease his pain. Ryu came in, with Gorgoth in tow but Gorgoth looked VERY different. He had become a 5 year old! And he doesn't remember a thing about himself. I was cookie lady for the night and ate tons of them, trying to share them out but no-one else seemed too interested. Gorgoth had a few. After a while, most of the patrons left and only a few remained. I'd really like to be friends with gorgoth, I love kids but am really curious about the fact that he was an adult or teenager (not sure) a few days ago. I spoke to Ryu and found that he is actually a Dragon who is at least 2 thousand years old. He looks like your average human (but very good looking I must admit) but is a Dragon! I was totally surprised and being in awe of such creatures I felt I should bow before him but decided to sit there. I was going to let him know what I truly am as well, but decided against it as it's better that everyone thinks I'm human. Then I didn't feel too well, must be something in the cookies. A lady came in and she looked injured but Ryu went over and was able to tend to her. I figured it was a good time to disappear so went upstairs, found a comfy spot and here I am, in an old recliner. Hmm.. I need to go back to sleep I think. Might feel better later.

Well I wok eup in the middle of the night, after a horrendous dream, but I have forgotten what it was about. But I had some strong urge to return to the Sanctuary. My destiny lay there. So I packed my things, tidied up and went out for a walk. I went through a forest shortcut, boy was that the wrongest thing I ever decided to do... I fell through a hole or something in the undergrowth, and I think I went into another dimension or something because I fell from the sky after that. I stood up, looked around, only to see a woman on some doorstep and dense forest all around me. I heard chatting, like there were insane monkeys in the trees. That was enough for me, so I ran like a mad chicken and tripped over a root. After that I panicked and ran into a wall, which happened to be another portal that returned back to a 'normal' forest. Thouroughly freaked out, I ran the rest of the way to The Sanctuary, only to crash through the door and see patrons threatening each other. I said hi to Ishi and Wolfie, whom I had met there before, and they ended up throwing the heated patrons out to take their battle outside. They cooled off, eventually. So I went out for a walk in the garden. But alas, ran into a web and felt something crawling on me. I couldn't get it off, so I ran off to the lake and dunked myself in, popping out of the water to the amusement of a couple of wolves nearby. Quite irritable after that episode, I went back inside and had to take off my coat and boots, dry off and sit in a blanket in front of the fire. There I met Dante. He's a demon hunter, very friendly to those who are not demons. Fortunately that includes me. I wanted to keep chatting but I fell asleep on the couch again. Well here I am, writing and sitting in here with no other place to call home. Will they accept me, and take me in? Or will they reject me as they need no more workers?

Wandering from bar to bar can get quite boring some days. But people are very nice in this area and that's nothing to complain about. For the day I was walking some more, gettng quite tired of that and starting to wish I had a horse. Well when I got here I met this nice lady, she gave me a coffee then a whole plate of cookies! And her friend gave me a cookie too! So ate the lot, I offered to share but no-one seemed interested. Maybe they are all vampires and would rather suck blood eek Well surely they wouldn't come after me.. sweatdrop
Anways, not an eventful evening, but that's alright. I told her I was looking for someone, but couldn't explain why. I feel like I should be keeping my reasons to myself. I actually wonder if Sephi is the one I should be following, but he seems capable of taking care of himself. I wonder if anyone needs me. Well I am warm and cosy here in this little room but this whole upstairs place is quite creepy and too quiet. I'm afraid something will fly in the window and get me so I've closed it. eek Hmm, night night.

I found this book at the last avern I visited, it's some kind of notebook from behidn the bar and I hope they won't miss it. I just like to write in something. I had been walking all day, but took a few naps by the river as if waws a really nice day to take it easy. I ran out of food though, much to my dismay. I really need to start making a living instead of begging from taverns. I don't remember where I'm from, only that I was sent here to watch someone. I'm not sure who. Perhaps I have to find that out. I'm a Guardian Angel, and I watch over youths more than anyone else, but don't show my wings as I like to be treated as a mortal. I seem to be part mortal anyway, I also don't know how this is so as angels cannot reproduce even with a mortal. But I eat, sleep, burp, fart, love, cry, laugh, feel, get angry and feel sympathy like any human would. I have the form of one as well. So I guess that would explain my behviour. Well I cam across this huge builing, it was so beautiful. I cme across it last night, it was covered in vines and surrounded by a lovely garden, one I'd wish to explore today. When I came in I thought I'd be ignored, as I usually am, and would have to serve myself and hire a room. But I was like a magnet and some people were drawn to me, at first it was frightening but then I figured that they were just friendly and curious. I came to know two people in particular, a vampiric dark angel of some kind called Sephi, which is short for Sephiroth. He has these big soft feathery black wings, they are so dark you could lose yourself in them. He's a tad clumsy like I am, decided to hop over the couch and fell on his bum. Well we had a quick chat and I found that he was a ronin at some stage and has just become a vampire, which intrigues me as I know little of either areas. Another person I met called Ryu, he was telling me that Ronins were some kind of low samurai who would take poor people's money and food for work, but I couldn't think that Sephi was like that. He seems so gentle and good natured. I got all defensive but was too tired to make a big point, I guess I fell asleep on the couch in here. Sephi's friend, who he calls 'Wolfie' rushed in with an unconscious man in her arms, and had rushed off to some spot to lay him down and keep an eye on him. I got really worried but didn't know what to do, and couldn't blame Sephi for wondering what was going on. He hardly lef tmy side, though, trying to be polite I guess. Well I woke this morning and he wans't there, he must have had more important things to attend to. So I shall get up and grab a nice hot coffee.
