December Rising

Out of no where and on a cool crisp spring day, fate had decided that it would repay Jasmine's interferance with the very lives of those that she held dear. For it could not destroy the four children it could do things much worse than kill them.



For there are demons in the world. Demons that have wanted to banish the Allen family for many years. To the demons the Allens were a scourge on the earth. The goodness that they were was a threat that had to be taken care of. For generations they tried to find the hidden compound that housed them. None were ever able to find it. Kill off members when they went into town, sure, but never find the heart or able to manage killing more than one at a time. Until that very crisp spring day. Jacob had been in town and since there hadn't been any demon attacks in over a hundred years, he didn't mind that he left the wards down, thinking that no harm could come of it. Little did he know that an anbush had been waiting for this day.



While Jacob walked to the local market he thought how wonderful life really is when it is surrounded with the ones that you love. He had no idea that the clerk that was normally there was now replaced with a shapeshifter. As soon as Jacob laid his items on the counter, the shapeshifter gave him a sadistic smile and forced his way into Jacob's mind. The shapeshifter took all of Jacobs memories along with his cries for mercy for his family. The shapeshifter didn't care about mercy, he didn't even know what that word had meant. All he cared about was doing what he was told. Eliminate the Allen family at all costs. And so he set out to do just that.



After taking everything that he needed from Jacob, the shapeshifter drug a knife across the mans throat, letting the blood spill anywhere. He then burned the entire village to the ground so that no one would be able to help the Allens. The shapeshifter Cairyn took the form of Jacob as she headed down the path towards the compound. Thanks to Jacobs memories she knew exactly what to look for and what wards and spells might be in place to ward against her and her kind. Luckily for her, Jacob had forgotten to place any wards around his family. "The ignorant arrogant fool. To arrogant to even place a single ward around his beloved family."



Cairyn smiled sadistically as she made her way to where Alicia was harvesting the garden with the children. Even after all her training she did not know that what appeared as her husband actually wasn't. Within moments Alicia's blood ran thick among her precious flowers and Cairyn sought out the four children. Little did she know that they were already in hiding. For Ember had known that her dad was not who he appeared to be. But her warning to her mother came to late. For when she was mearly a few feet away, it was to late, for the blood of her mother splattered across her face. Ember lost it. As the tears came streaming down her face and mixing with the blood, Ember's eyes turned a bright red, reminicant of Jasmine. Soon, the entire garden was on fire, including what was left of the mangled burnt corpse if Cairyn. Ember's brothers sought her out in the garden to attempt to help Ember and save her from thier mothers killer, but they hadn't known then that she wouldn't need thier saving. At least not yet.
