((If I say that was ever so expected and obvious...would yah kill me K? )) Gryffon stood up shakily, his hand pressed to his neck. He checked his hand, thankfully the cut was quite small and it was already starting to close up. He stood behind Audra as he looked down at Jacob, his face set forever in the expression of shock and disbelief. He looked at Audra, who had turned ghostly white as she swayed slightly. Her small hand covering her mouth, her expression sickly. "Audra..." he stepped in front of her, cutting her vision of Jacob. He slipped his hands around her waist, but her knees gave way. He sat on the floor on his knees as she leaned heavily against him. He stroked her hair as he repeated, "Its over Audra. Its over."

((Nah. It's true. lol. I'm so predictable. But hey, it was fun.)) *Audra closed her eyes tightly as she leaned against Gryffon, everything hitting her like a ton of bricks. In the rush and excitement of everything that had happened, not much had taken the time to sink in. Now it was overwhelming... Jacob had found them, which was exactly what she had wanted... Then her worst nightmares had hit one after another. Jacob had almost killed Gryffon... Jacob had almost taken her... Jacob had almost killed Gryffon again but this time because of her... And then what she'd always both dreamed of and dreaded... She'd finally gotten her revenge against the man that she once loved... She felt like she was going to be sick but forced it back to the best of her ability... Gryffon was wrong... It wasn't over yet. She couldn't lose it until everything was taken care of... Shaking, she slowly pulled away from Gryffon a little, although she wanted desperately to cling to him forever. But she had to be strong... She lifted her gaze to let her eyes roam over him, surveying the damage done by the fight... She once again had to resist the urge to be sick, letting go of him as she finally managed to say something.* "He... He didn't manage any serious damage did he...?" *Attempting to calm her trembling, she reached for his hand to examine the cut from Jacob's knife. The blood made her struggle for control much more difficult. She turned her head away, placing her free hand on the floor to support herself a little better.*

Gryffon gave her a weak smile,"I'll live. I've lived through worse." He placed both hands on face and looked at her, "He didn't hurt you did he?"
He raised his eyebrows as she shook her head. She didn't meet his eyes. He sighed softly as he placed his hands on top of hers and said softly, "Its alright to show your pain sometimes Audra. There's no shame in crying."

*Audra slowly shook her head, not daring to look at Gryffon. Instead, she looked around him at Jacob again... She gritted her teeth, her eyes angry and pained...* "I hate him... I hate what he did to me... I hate what he's made me do... I hate what I am because of him. It was my fault that I didn't stop him when I had the chance... The pain he caused for so many others... Your pain... I could've stopped it all... Now I've finally managed to stop him but... his death wasn't meant to be the end..." *Mine was... Audra closed her eyes tightly, her emotions causing her so much pain she could hardly stand it. She had decided long ago that once Jacob was dead, she would die too... A just punishment for all the deaths she had caused. Ever since she had started falling for Gryffon she had been fighting with herself over whether or not she could go through with the plans she had made... At first it made her want to go through with it more than ever... learning what Jacob had done to Gryffon. But now that she knew how much he cared for her? What could she do now? This was never supposed to happen. She wasn't supposed to care for anyone again... She certainly wasn't supposed to fall in love. And she had never planned on the man she loved being there when it finally came to the end. Reluctantly, she forced herself to open her eyes and look at Gryffon... Ending things the way she had planned would mean leaving him alone again...* "I just can't do it..." *She couldn't go through with it... She couldn't hurt him that way... She just wondered if she would be able to live with the guilt... Revenge was the only thing that had kept her going... Now she was lost... Feeling as though she was being torn apart from the inside by her anger, guilt, grief, frustration, and confusion, Audra hung her head, her body shaking with the sobs she was trying desperately to hold back.*

Gryffon stroked her hair and her back gently as she cried. His own gaze locked at Jacob's body which lay only a few feet away from them.
He waited until her sobs fading into soft hiccups. He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, "We do have to get back to the crews." 'And get rid of the body' he thought to himself.
He pondered silently how to dispose of the body. The easiest way would be to merely toss it overboard and let the sea be his grave. Seemed oddly fitting to his mind.

*Audra nodded slowly, reluctantly pulling herself away from him. She'd had a moment... She'd cope with both her victory and failure later. Glancing over at Jacob's body, she forced herself to push most of her emotions away.* "You're right... We need to get back and help them... But I'm sick of the fighting tonight... I don't care about Jacob's men... Jacob was my prey. The rest of them can run in terror..." *She slowly got to her feet, her legs unsteady beneath her. She drew her sword, moving carefully around Jacob's body as she observed it. She wiped away what tears were left with the back of her hand, ignoring the blood that she probably smeared across her cheek in the process.* "They're cowards, the lot of them... They followed Jacob out of fear, not loyalty... If we bring back a little trophy as proof that their captain is dead... most of them will turn and run with their tail between their legs." *She lightly brought her sword along Jacob's torso without even drawing blood, stopping at his neck. She hesitated a moment, looking to Gryffon.* "Jacob never leaves more than ten men on board during a fight or raid on land. Did you kill any on your way here?"

Kelli's head drops into the sand with a light thumping sound. She could see blurred movements but it was getting harder to move. This wasnt how she wanted to die. Her thoughts were fading in and out half imagining she was a child back home and comming back to the beach seeing men fall and die. How could I go from innocent to killer.
(please dont delete me I'm here I just got back from pheonix and sorry sorry)
