Here lies friendship, love and defeat[Conall/Jisa]

[Stella Mari De Souza]

The black haired girl stood close to the home, she was scared to enter, close by was Jisanna the only friend Stella has ever truly had, The vampire looked in the house it seemed empty but she was not sure, Conall was a tricky guy. She sighed and looked around her senses looking for any sings of her hunter,but non was found, for now. She stepped forward her hand on the doorknob,''Jisanna are you sure, i am worried for your safety, i do not want to kill a innocents shifter for the purpose of my own mistakes''. Her eyes turned to the panther, she thought of Jisa as a head strong girl with beautiful ocean blue eyes, her heart in the right place, most of the time. Stella freaked ,though, when she heard a slight sound , but as she looked to her left it was a squirrel, The young woman clutched her stomach, her child starved of blood and air that came with it. ''Jisa..'', Stella looked at her friend but her stomach hurt badly, she clutched her sides, knowing soon it would pass,''Ill be fine, i am worried about you''. Stella Mari seriously did not care for her safety, Jisanna was the priority now.

Following her friend faithfully, the shifter watched around for any sign of any hunters or potential danger. This is what Jisa was made for, a guardian of great proportions. She was as great as anyone in a human form of an army or security of any type. At least it was something to do after all, otherwise life would just be downright boring. The black haired girl did not do boring for long, it wasn;t something she enjoyed, especially because it tempted her to go back across the vast waters to the Inland. That was not a good thing for her. Memories lay on the Inland, things she did not want to remember lurked there, which was why she was helping Stella out. As well as the fact that she never left a friend in need. Coming to a halt Jisa gave Stella a look with her hands on her hips.

"I'm not backing out and anyways, I'm not exactly innocent by any terms."

Her voice shot back with a little force behind the comment, still softly though because she knew what pregnancy did to moodswings. Jisa was not ready to deal with major emotion quite yet, soon she might be, but not right now. Stella was making the shifter nervous with all of her jumping and being startled by slight noises. When the vampire was once again taken by pain in her stomach Jisa got worried. The baby needed oxygen and blood, why was the mother not ready to give it to it?

"Stella... I can take care of myself, I have for three years. However you haven't been alone for such a long time and you're pregnant."

[Conall Huga Wolf]

Conall rushed back home, jumping from branch to tree branch, in his own cat-like fashion. He was in his dark and brooding state, upset about his failure at recovering Kesiah. Of course she was not dead, no body. She should know better than think that would fool him... That she could hide away with that evil creature. He came to a halt, almost falling out of the trees, scaring a squirrel. He pulled my bow out from behind his back, slowly, making no noise at all. Knocking an arrow, he decided against shooting first and asking questions later.Mainly, because she was with his Stella Mari. Secondly.... She may know where Kesiah was. He let the arrow fly, it struck the house between Stella and the cat. He dropped out of the tree, bow ready, and looked at his love and the stray cat she had brought home, his own black ears forward, to capture any sounds of attack, "Who are you, and what are you doing at the director's house, kitty cat?"

[Stella Mari De Souza]

The vampire was not sure, but she breathed in and out, slowly but it was passing, the pain slowly giving away. The vampire put her hand out, telling Jisa to wait just a moment, ''Im okay, you will be fine. But he is''... Stella could not finis her sentence a bow hit the house, Stella's eyes flicked to her love, she was scared now, but not for herself, of course, but for Jisa. The vampire stepped in front of the shifter, and looked at Conall her pain gone now, though the baby was hungry. ''Conall this is my friend, she is here to help me. Please do not harm her''. Stella looked at him, she was trying to read his face, mostly his eyes. The vampire did not like this, her shirt had a rip in it now, as she grabbed her stomach to hard when the arrow came, but now he was here.. what would happen. Many things ran trough her mind, but death rang in her ear.

[Jisanna Elizabeth Taylor]

The panther heard the Hunter swinging around like some sort of primate, and just on queue the arrow hit the house beside her. Okay, what the hell? This was ridiculously surreal, it was not as if the shifter was hurting the vampire or anything. She could feel the waves of fear coming off of Stella, so apparently the vampire wasn't so confident about her 'love' as she had thought. Oh but Jisa was just great, she couldn't care less if he was a Hunter or if he was some all powerful Sorcerer, after all, this was a supernatural world. Rolling her eyes as Stella stepped in front of her, Jisa overtook her and stood on her own, partially blocking Stella from view. Yeah, she could take care of herself.

"Who I am is my business and not yours. Why I am here is for Stella and her baby."

Ignoring the whole kitty cat phrase, Jisa told him with as least acid in her voice as possible. She did not want to offend her newly found friend. She held herself tall as always and kept her chin up confidently.

"Step off boy."

[Conall Huga Wolf]

Conall wasn't sure of this shifter, but he wasn't about to let her stand between him and Stella. He strode forward, and though he wasn't comfortable with it, he put his bow back on his back, deciding to rely on his strength alone in a fight... A purely suicidal risk. He went to stand beside Stella, every nerve wired, he wasn't used to being this close to a shifter. He wrapped his arm around his vampire love's waist, kissing her neck lightly before looking back to the shifter. "If you are here for my Stella Mari and our baby, then who you are is my business. Your tough-girl act is quite insulting to both of our intelligence, so please stop it," He recited casually. This was quite nerve-racking, but he would try to get through it... for Stella.

[Stella Mari De Souza]

She looked at Conall and followed him, walking closer, Stella was glad that he put his bow away, but he could always just reach back.. and kill some one with it. The vampire looked at him intensely her eyes melting, golden, and bright, you could not ignore what they where trying to say, Please don't harm her. Stella did not even smile as he kissed her and gently rapped his arms around her waist, which she was now would be very careful to hide, the vampire also knew Jisanna did not have a good temper at times, Conall would have to be careful. Stella Mari carefully rapped her own arms around his waist looking at Jisa, she was biting her lips, having no idea what to say. ''Now please everyone inside, dont bring wondering eyes to your selves,'' Stella pointed to the door hopping Conall agreed, she was sure he did not ant a bunch of hunters wondering what a vampire and a shifter was doing at his front door right?

[Jisanna Elizabeth Taylor]

Someone had to acknowledge the fact that the short tempered Shifter was at least trying to keep her sharp tongue under control, if only for Stella's sake. Her better judgement was doubting her decision to come help a friend, but the black haired girl was no one to back down on account of some arrogant Hunter. His close proximity didn't even bother her a bit, it would if she thought he would kill her or at least attempt it. Of course, Jisa knew she could take him on, she did give him the benefit of the doubt though. His sickly looks didn't mean he wasn't skilled or strong. In the young woman's perspective, it was a bit dodgy that Stella was pregnant at sixteen with a guy who looked older by about four years- give or take a year.

"I choose whose business it is to know about me."

Her cat like voice answered, full of grace and deep mystery. He then went on about how her tough girl act was insulting to him and Stella. Who said that? I mean really. It seemed to Jisa that this Hunter was a downright softy.

"Well I'm sorry that you are sensitive about that, but that is not my fault nor my concern. And if you do not like my personality and the way I act, don't speak to me. That should solve your petty issues."

Like slicing warm butter, easy. Not even a pause. Jisa was just the type of person who could come up with comebacks like nobody's business. If it were anyone else then the panther shifter would have given Stella a look that said, no one tell's me what to do. But since it was her friend, she waited for the two lovesick... well they weren't both teens were they? So just the couple to move indoors before she went in.

[Conall Huga Wolf]

Conall moved to open the door, motioning his hand to let the supernaturals in first. He wasn't about to go in front of the shifter. Rule of thumb; turning your back on your enemy is just begging to be stabbed in the back. And besides, however this shifter decided to act, Conall was above it. He would at least be chivalrous.

[Stella Mari De Souza]

Stella grabbed Jisa's hand and took her in, hopping she didn't mind of course. The vampire looked around having no idea what to do, but she pulled the shifter towards the couch, Stella's feet where killing her, she had been running all day, and bare foot, not to mention how hungry she and the baby where. The vampire sat down taking of her hair tie she let the tangled, now ringlet mess, fall., she sighed and rubbed her belly. ''Thank you Jisa, for coming all this way just for me and the baby''. Stella whispered hoping Conall wouldn't hear but knowing he probably did, she sighed and looked toward the kitchen, it was the matter of her hunger or her tiredness. She just sat there thinking of sleep, but knowing it would never come as a vampire.

[Jisanna Elizabeth Taylor]

The young girl was not all too happy about the situation but she'd deal with it, this was just as polite as she'd been in four years. It wasn't as if she was being snobby or rude about anything, she was just saying what was true. That's just the way the sharp tongued Shifter was, straightforward and only evasive when it came to be about her history or her name. Sizing the Hunter up she was about to tell him that she would not go in first, that he should, Jisa liked to watch her back. Then Stella pulled her along, which the Shifter could have easily evaded but chose not to, so far she'd been the more supportive one. After all she hadn't been about to hurt a friend of Stella's had she now?

"It wasn't much of a way to come, I don't exactly live anywhere."

Jisa chuckled to her friend, yeah this is the only time she laughed, don't be getting used to it. The panther's laugh was one of music, the music of nature, not anything in particular. But for sure it was an enchanting noise. As her sharp eyes once more looked over her friend, she saw how mortally tired she was and how the child was affecting her, especially because it was starving of blood and oxygen and the nutrition that came with it. Taking her friends hand gently she explained something gently, she knew the Hunter would hear anyways.

"Stella, I know you won't want to but the baby needs blood in it's system because of it's human and vampire side. And even if you won't drink it, you'll need it injected some way."

Jisa was no doctor, she was not about to inject her friend with anything. The panther didn't know anything about that side of things.
