Thank you

Silence thats all he could hear as he waited. The next person soon coming threw his door as he sighed. He was what they called a breeder. A Incubus used ony for breeding reasons and to save the others from being used to much. He shook his head as he watched the door waiting till he was either called or forced into the next session. Many years ago this young incubus was picked up. he was different and it showed with how attached anyone e fed from and slept with became to his taste. One time was all it took of them tasting his sweet release and they were his. Forever drawn to him wanting more.

He thought to himself 'I need to get out of here. i need to run and leave...but how?' He had no idea where he was trapped. where his prison was anymore. hell he could hardly remember how he came to be in this place. all he knew is if he did run they would find him. Hed seen it happen with many others. Thier property was marked. On his back a tattoo. Like many others had this same one. If he left it would slowly fill in with color and once full they would know where he was and come get him. He sighed again brushing his hands threw his long black hair his horns peaking out slightly as he did so. He didnt know what to do anymore but he couldnt keep doing this. Couldnt keep waiting for the door to open. To see the younger ones used as they were. He needed to figure out something and quickly. He stood pacing the small room the was mostly filed with his bed. They saw no reason for him to have anything more then the bed and a few clothes for when he was needing to be pressented to someone of a royal or upper linage. He looked around shifting things around as he found a place the bed had broken and picked up the bed looking to see if anything could be used. Finding the post had split enough to wedge his fingers between and jerk he pulled it apart coming out with a slightly longer then his hand wooden stake. he shook his head knowing it wouldnt get him far but it was atleast something if needed hed take the next person who walke in as a hostage to get out. then all he had to worry about was the tattoo filling in slowly and being pulled back in.

'What the hell am i thinking? this is the only place i belong. its all im good for anyways since m a breeder.' he almost tossed the stake aside since the words came to mind but he didnt. He sighed tucking it into a pocket hidding it as foot steps echoed down his hall. It was more then one pair so someone was coming to his room he wouldnt be leaving the room today. he turned sitting like a good boy and waited watching the door once more

Alea BOT 07-Dec-21 12:23 PM

Alea's palm on the door handle she looked back at her "escort" to the room. More like they didnt trust she would go willingly. "Go be useful somewhere else." She rolled her eyes and hissed at him. Still tall dark and aparently moody stood there... Eyeing her. With a huff she turned the knob and closed the door on his face. Her forehead against the now closed door, she exhaled trying to get a feel for the room... And its inhabitant. "Just go with the ambasitor... No big deal." She mimicked under her breath, the pretty lies wrapped up in making her think she had a choice. Dissapointment and Trepidation hung in the air. With a frown she turned keeping her back to the door. Those were the wrong emotions for what she was expecting. "Hi." She whispered with awkward little wave. "Is this room monitored or seen by anyone but us?" Curious eyes flitted around the room for any tell tale signs. A simple aliny dress left little to the imagination and the shimmering black fabric only glistened more with the slightest movement.

Caine BOT 07-Dec-21 12:57 PM

Caine wasn't sure what to think of the woman who entered into his room. He stood as he lifted his dark eyes to her tilting his head some his horns moving to point her eyes to a small camera in the corner. His voice was deep and low a tad husky as he opened his lips to speak to her "no sound just video. So your lucky on that part. They just need to know I've done my job." His eyes trailed her body noting her curves as he smiled. Atleast she wasn't bad looking to the eye as he appreciated her form. His eyes trailed back up as he stepped aside lifting one arm towards the bed "If your trying to hide something atleast move to speak where I can hide your face with myself. Make it look like something happening so they leave us alone."

Alea BOT 07-Dec-21 01:14 PM

"No touching." She pointed at him, hint of worry in her voice as her eyes locked onto the camera. A dull unamused glare. "Last thing I need is that not working out." She muttered to herself as she paced out the room. Touching people made her mirror whatever they were feeling... Alea had pieced it together just a little too late. Inncubus being an innately sexual creature. She cussed under her breath jumping to see if she could reach the camera. Nope. Too short. Rather than round the bed and be standing near him she grabbed her edge and grunted trying to drag the heavy frame. "Give that a push...?"she asked after a few unsuccessful attempts. "Whats your name?" Alea's sing song voice more musical when she was too busy scheming to be worried. Finally standing on the frame of the bed she grabbed and swung from the camera until it snapped and she thumped to the ground unceremoniously. A satisfied smirk at the pieces on the floor next to her. "Totally not recomending we adopt this way of controling populous." She brushed herself off and carefully pressed her bare feet on the floor between the broken pieces as she returned to the furthest corner of the room from him. Frozen in place she truely looked him over. "I like your horns." A small point toward his head and a smirk. Nope stay on task Alea reminded herself and eyed the broken camera instead of him.

Caine BOT 07-Dec-21 01:45 PM

he had helped her move the bed his eyes watching her movements his ears listening to the voice as he smiled. A small spark of joy? He wasn't sure in his chest at someone willing to break the cameras. Someone that was really talking to him. Once the camera was down and she moved away from him which he didn't understand as he backed away himself listening and heeding her no touch words he sighed. What now....what was he waiting for he could just use her to get out of this hell hole now that no one could see them. But something told him to stop to stay still and to listen to her words. "why did you break it?"he asked from his corner. As he looked around watching the door"And if your planning something do it quick cause they will be coming to see what's wrong shortly" Even as his words left his mouth In another room the lights flickered on people taking notice of what they figured was just a malfunction. They hadn't watched her break it but had checked just after as words where passed and the guards started that way from another floor

Alea BOT 07-Dec-21 01:59 PM

"Cause Im not supposed to be here. This is not how its done." She pointed at the floor between them annoyed. "You shouldn't be here." Alea shook her head trying to shake off the emotions swirling in the room how long had he been in here? How strong was his contempt for this room? It was bleeding into her attempt to keep a level head. "Im with the Northern territories. We were just supposed to talk shop. trade" She chuckled hopelessly at how stupid it sounded now. "Im a freakin bookkeeper for the Royal family." She explained how ridiculous this was. Realizing she was devolving she drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly. Eyes shifting over the room and fully taking in his life. "Whats your name? And are you allowed to leave this room?" Curiosity outweighing the care for the guards closing in. What were they gonna do? Their captive hasnt done anything wrong.

Quinn Fox 07-Dec-21 01:59 PM

@Fallen One (no rush:)

Caine BOT 07-Dec-21 02:34 PM

"A book keeper for a royal family..."he let this sink in as he smirked knowing she would work for his idea as he stepped closer making it seem harmless as if seeking comfort "My name's Caine...atleast that's what they call me. And no I don't ever leave this room...it is my life to stay here for when they bring people to me." He let that sink in as he ever stepped slowly closer to her. He knew he might have only one chance to get out of here as he sighed thinking about it to himself. She seemed kind trying to get to know him. But he hated this place. Hated what was done here. And hated what was happening every single day to him and others that lived here with his very soul or what was left u crushed inside of him. He shook his head pulling himself from his thoughts and steeling his back bone as he turned hearing the foot steps down the hall echoing "they are coming....crap..."he muttered as he stepped close to her his body a hairs breath away as his hands went to the wall on either side of her. He moved as if they were in the middle of a make out session as the door banged open. He muttered softly"Send them away...your busy right now"

Alea BOT 07-Dec-21 02:58 PM

Listening to his answers. The full gravity of this section of the estate... Complete with guards. She barely noticed him walking toward her. "That's not how its done." She whispered in confusion. Her heals backing against the wall to avoid contact. Sharp breath at the heat eminating off him. He shouldnt be that inviting. Her back presses futher away and she swallows hard. Instruction a low breeze across her neck as the door slammed open. "I'm. -" she cleared her throat as her voice cracked. "Im busy right now." Aleas repetition of his words echoed his anger. She ducked under his arm to face the guards. (And flee the interest in his proximity) One benifit of feeling everything, she grasped at his hate. Used it to sell her own anger at "being interrupted" "I do not care to be recorded and it is none of your business what I chose to do with the time paid for by my kingdom." She seethed. "This is not the respect you show an Emissary." She pointed toward where the camera had been mounted. "Leave us." Alea demanded. Us came out too easily and the emotional whiplash caused a knot in her chest... But her act was spot on. Her grip on the door was tight. White knuckles and a shakey breath hoping for compliance. That worked right? Her own guard wasnt here... And its not like everyone was honest about the trip. Hopefully his guard would be happy enough with her show.

they were taken back by her anger as they were only checking if she was alright. With muttered words of worries and apologies they backed away shutting the door on their way out. He nodded his approval moving away from her again as his anger slowly faded from his body movements. He sighed running his clawed hands threw his dark hair. She'd been so close to him. Her scent still filling his nose as he inhaled a shaking breath slowly letting it out. Hed almost pulled her into him to embrace her soft body but he had put up a fight against that urge. He shook his head as his husky voice filled the room once more. "Your people want you to breed it seems. Something must be special about you or your just a toy for thier enjoyment. I don't see many down here these days unless I'm serving in anothers place. Why did you come and why did they bring you to me?" He really wanted to know what brought them both to this room. Why they found themselves here of all places but he doubted she would know the answers to anything he asked.

Alea BOT 07-Dec-21 05:05 PM

Alea closed the door, her hands catching her as she leaned back. Eyes closed and a steadying breath. "Im gonna need a moment." She explained trying to wade through the last few moments of feelings. Hers. His. The guards confusion and guilt in passing. Her mouth hung open as she looked back and forth on the ground. Like the answers would somehow be written there. Steadying breaths while she connected the dots. "Yeah it's a power scale up north. Im pretty high on it... But we dont force anything or keep anyone captive." She swallowed hard and straightened her posture. "Uh. Its..." Piecing together how many people planned and fixed around her power to get her here. She cleared her throat. "Im part of a small delegation. We were here to trade and learn how tou guys did things." Alea explained looking down at the slinky dress. It is customary replayed in her head. "Least thats what I thought." She frowned. What now? Escape? Evade? Fight? She could hold her own if she was scared... But didnt have full control. "How is it done here? Home if youre high on the power scale youre given perks to being with someone with complementary powers. Stronger citizens kinda thing." Alea explained and questioned. Her gaze on the distance between them, relieved and a little dissapointed in it.

Caine BOT 07-Dec-21 05:47 PM

he watches her closely wondering what was going on in that head of hers before he answered. Not completely understanding what was going on but quickly figuring it out as he took what she said in before giving anything back out "it's not the same here. People who have powers or are stronger are used to breed. To grow stronger and stronger people. I've been here since I was little because of things I can't control. Locked away in this room for others....pleasure."he almost spat out the last word as the resentment filled his eyes at everything that had been taken from him. He sighed just as quickly letting it go. "well now that you know you weren't just sent to find out how things go. Maybe you can help me....I want out..I want to see the world to be who I was ment to be outside of a slave. I hate it here as you can tell."he glanced around then back to her his black hair falling as he moved close to her. He reached a hand out testing a idea. Just to see if she'd take it or if she'd shy away from him. But towards her he didnt hate. Atleast not anymore since she hadn't known what she was walking into. He felt more sorry for what trap they laid for her and where it brought her. But also hope that this might be the way out. To freedom for once in his miserable life down here in the cell.

Alea BOT 07-Dec-21 09:55 PM

She'd barely processed his predicament. Ocean blue eyes widened with his every step toward her. "I said no touching." She shifted and pointed between them. More worry in her voice than anything else. "Im an Empath. Your existence-" she cut herself off and pursed her lips. Her feet dragging her along the wall away from him. No, she was not going to point out his existance was based on lust and sexual gratification... That would be really fuckin cold of her. She picked at her nails nervously, keeping distance as best she could. "I pick up on and mirror feelings." Alea stuttered a bit. No, she didnt like telling people how easy it would be to manipulate her... But there was no other way to explain without being an ass to him. The longer she looked back at him the more her imagination built bits and pieces of his past. Since he was little? A few extra blinks over glossy eyes. Tears wouldn't help right now... Neither would the wandering eyes over his skin. "Could you put more clothes on?" Alea averted her eyes, looking for movement in her peripherals to stay away.

Caine BOT 08-Dec-21 02:42 AM

"You feel the most when you touch people the. Don't you?"he asked as he dropped his hand. He walked back over towards a small dresser/night stand digging in it for clothes. He pulled out a older pair of pants and a t shirt slipping them over his body as he hid himself from view. Turning around he sighed as he watched her movements wanting to put her at ease he slowly walled up his mind hoping that helped atleast. He huffed at everything that you as said as he nodded a bit to himself thinking. He walked towards where the bed was now sitting as he took a seat and put his head in his hands before speaking slowly ",I was waiting on the next person...you apparently to make my run..I didn't have much to get out of here with not a true plan since I don't know the hallways and turns. But I want out. And your the only one who can help me get out of here at this point. They find out what I was planning I'm done. I'll be beat to a inch of my life and still used. I'm sorry to put all this one you but I must get out of here."

Alea BOT 08-Dec-21 04:31 AM

Relief in her posture as he retreated to his drawer. The want to touch his hand had been there. Itchy palm offering magnetic pull. "Thank you." Her voice level and soft as he complied with her request. Dulling of most of his feeling also making it easier to breath. As he sat back on the bed she slid to the floor, ankles crossed and tugged the hem of her dress down over her thighs. "Well lets plan." Alea suggested curiously. "I have no desire to finish this trip as intented... I want to get home... And report this." She started forming her own goals. The tugging need to help had to be kept in check. It was a habit of hers... To over-invest when she felt something genuine from someone. If it was genuine. How did Russel think this would go? Put her in close contact with an incubus for an 'interview' and hope she mirrored herself into breeding? Maybe she finds a way to accidentally shove him off a very tall wall on her way out. "I probably know the turns to the gate." She tilted her head and cleared her throat. Then what? Part of the reason she had the job she had was because she did not fare well in crowds... A long travel home would surely land her in trouble. But the least she could do was facilitate his escape.

Quinn Fox 08-Dec-21 04:31 AM

@Fallen One

Caine BOT 08-Dec-21 07:33 AM

"Your welcome."he spoke softly lifting his head from his heads as he sighed slightly. His hands hung between his legs though it still made the pull to him no less as strong being dressed. His dark eyes moved over her taking her in as he sighed. "What I can't figure out is why they sent you to me. Why they'd want to use you but I guess that doesn't matter. Look once we get past the walls you can go your way and I mine. I want to return and save the others. I know I'm not the only one stuck here in this hell. But there's alot of things at play if I ever do get out." He wasn't sure if she'd seen the tattoo on his back but he knew what it meant he just didn't know how much time away he'd get before they'd come for him once more. "if you know the turns I'll get us past them. But there's people. And your barely handling just me even with my walls up. I can see how your muscles twitch with the urge to move closer and your eyes keep trailing over me." He was atleast glad someone was listening to him for once something that didn't happen often. He sighed standing and stretching"But once we are out these doors I'll have to keep you close as a chip just incase. But I won't harm you. I will have to touch you though if they get too close. But if your willing to lead me out the best I can do is get you home wherever that may be."

Alea BOT 08-Dec-21 07:50 AM

"Your feelings are lost on me either. Relief when you first got a look at me." She added trying to curb how defensive she sounded. "Vague interest when I went to work on the camera." Still she remained seated. A moment of thought still staring off between them. Should she tell him the rest? That she was as dangerous as he was in a different capacity? "If all you needed was to escape... Why not do the hat trick thing." She gestured to where he had pressed her against the wall with incoming guards. "Had me quite twisted up... Have a guard walk you out?" Alea still didnt quite understand how someone so high on a power scale was kept by simple lock and key. A few more honest glances in his direction and she trusted herself a bit more. The pull didnt seem quite so strong. It was easy to identify... And work past. Urge still there... But somewhat manageable with his help. How long had it been since anyone really looked at him? Really heard the care in his voice at the mention of others?Seen that he was more than what this room provided, and was in need of more than he was probably ever given. Her thoughts ran loose looking him over.

Caine BOT 08-Dec-21 07:56 AM

he smiled slightly but it was full of sorrow. He looked away from her while he spoke this time not trusting himself it seemed to not convey too much to her. "It's not that simple with them. They have special gear and such to keep us in line. For one if I do get out I have to find a way...nevermind I'll worry about that when the time comes. But the trick I used with you was simple illusion..I made it look as if we were busy and you did the rest for me getting as angry as you did. Which seemed to work quiet well." He glanced back over at her as he smiled shaking slightly"I just know I want out and to watch this place burn to the ground. Cameras line the halls that I see from my room when the door opens so we'd have to be quick to get out...."his voice trailed off as he shook his head second guessing himself"or you could act like we did you know and leave me behind* He thought to himself as he said the last past 'Which is what any sane person would do.' but he didn't speak the words aloud as he was starting to feed into his hope to escape

Alea BOT 08-Dec-21 08:12 AM

"I can still sense all that." She guestured to him and whispered softly. "Might not know what its all about, but theres sorrow..." She looked around his furnished cage. Made sense. "Theres worry, and hesitancy, alot of anger." She added trying to gauge him. "Theres also a very small sliver of hope." Alea hesitated. Most dont take kindly to being called out on things they were unprepared to discuss. Her anda still folded in her lap she sighed and looked from her hands back to him. "How much time you think we have? An hour? Thirty minutes?" Doubt in her voice as she glanced at her bare wrist. As much as she didnt know him well enough... She knew desperation. She knew the contempt and the hoplessness that lingered in the room. Sting of Violation and disrespect that made rhe feeling of swallowing nauseating. Things that cannot be faked, and would not allow her to live with herself if she simply walked away... Alwa also knew he was hiding something. Be it fear or mistrust... Both were very reasonable given his predicament.

Caine BOT 08-Dec-21 08:21 AM

he sighed standing and pacing behind her thinking a bit as he listened to her words. His mind twisting and turning as he tried to think and remember but with her smell in the room throwing him off it was hard "before they think I've had enough time to do what I'm supposed to? Maybe a hr which we've killed plenty of that already. So I'd say thirty minutes max before they come for you again." He growled slightly his anger flaring a moment before he tucked it away again he felt like he was grasping at sand. The more he tried to hold on the more it slipped threw his clawed fingers.

Alea BOT 08-Dec-21 08:27 AM

"Fine. We have thirty minutes. Not a lot of time to make this any less shity." She brushed her dress off as she stood, a deep breath and reminder to relax her shoulders. Alea took a moment to give his anger space, know it, but not get lost in it. All it ever took was the focus. "So. Lay it out. If we're getting here... I need to trust you enough that I dont accidentially send you off the deep end if you have to touch me. Cause then Im on my own and I dont like my odds." She guestured to him. "Plus this is primarily selfish. I'd hate myself if I didnt at least try to help." She added, a tone of sarcasm and a bit of anger at how true that was. Cause she was certainly stepping in it.

Quinn Fox 08-Dec-21 08:39 AM

@Fallen One

Caine BOT 08-Dec-21 08:45 AM

he nodded as he turned towards her"lay it out? I'm a slave to be used how they see fit..I've been outside this room very few times. The door is all I know as I wait to hear foot steps. What more is there to lay out?" He was slightly flustered he didn't want to say they would be able to track him after being gone for so long cause he didn't know that time limit at all. He wasn't sure. He growled a bit as he shook his head"As far as tipping me over I can control my emotions well enough and block them out if needed. Go numb in a way. So that's not a big worry for myself. And yes the odds are bad for us both but together we got this."

Alea BOT 08-Dec-21 08:53 AM

Her face scrunched in frustration. Something didn't sit well. She couldnt quite figure it out... But she wasnt ready to drop it. "Stick your hand out." She crossed her arms. It might be easier to show him... And she was certainly scared enough to make it work. This was beyond risky. Wide blue orbs watched with worry and intensity. If they didnt have the time she'd have to show him... So he understood that part. "And I know youre still hiding something. This is me- not asking and respecting a boundary that might get me killed." Sarcasm thick to hide worry.

Quinn Fox 08-Dec-21 09:03 AM

@Fallen One :)

Caine BOT 08-Dec-21 09:05 AM

he growled at the fact she wouldn't drop it but moved closer holding his hand out to her. He shook slightly unsure what she was going to do but he waited. "what it is won't get you killed. That you don't have to worry about"was all he said yet he didn't add detail to it..he was scared that was plain to see but not if her of something else. He looked away from her as he held his hand out to her a peace offering if sorts

Alea BOT 08-Dec-21 09:09 AM

"I think getting killed is a very valid fear today." Alea stayed as far away as humanly possible. Arm extended and pointer finger ridged. A slight angle to make up for the height difference. "When Im hurt scared sad... It pulls on anyone who touches me." She explained... Lightly brushing his palm and scrunching her eyes closed. "So it brings your hurt scard sad forward." Barely a whisper as she braced for whatever reaction that might cause. "Dont really have controll over it... And its not hard to look around and guess how that might affect you." Eyes still closed seconds felt like hours. "Thats why no touching." She whispered.

Yes. The fear that it might work the other way was real... But she'd left one of her close friends a pile of sobbing tears inadvertently... And it stuck in her memories.

Caine BOT 08-Dec-21 04:58 PM

he felt the soft brush almost feather like against the palm of his hand. Her words sinking in slowly as the fear he felt about staying her came to the front. The sorrow at the loss of everyone he knew and for those around him. He shook his head backing away slightly. But instead of tears it steeled his nerve his resolve to leave and be free of this place. It gave him more fight then anything to see the outside world and figure things out. He shook his head and stepped closer to her. This time unafraid of her touch as he reached out and brushed her hair back. He made sure his walls held tight as he did only letting the touch fuel what was already growing inside him "Look open your eyes and don't fret....I'm not one easily broken by my emotions miss...as for what I'm hidding..."he stepped back and turned his back to her lifting the shirt to his neck. Across his back small tattoos but in a random pattern it seemed. But something was different something drew the eye like color was missing."Every hour I'm out this will fill up...and once it's full they will come for me..I have to find a way to break the curse before that happens so they can't bring me back. And do heavens knows what to me."

Alea BOT 09-Dec-21 01:16 AM

The slightest shift of her hair made her tense. One bright blue eye cracked, half her face still scrunched until she could see he was fine with her own eyes. Head cocking in confusion as he turned away. She had been petrified. So there was no way that didnt work. "For the record, I was specifically not asking." Alea babbled as he explained. She wrote off knowing what his secret was, the moment she realized it was probably the only one he was ever allowed to keep. In hopes it might build a little rapport between them. "And thats some bullshit." She huffed, her shoulder dropping while she looked over his backscape. So it wasnt just as easy as getting past the walls. Wait. Did an inncubus just say 'heaven knows'? A nervous giggle covered by her hands as she began pacing the room... No longer avoiding him. Shit. Laughing doesnt look good. She scolded herself, only covering her mouth harder to surpress the manic giggle. "Okay," she nodded at him pursing her lips. Deep amusement only barely covering worry her her gaze as she rounded him. Intent on showing respect in conversation. "Okay." Alea repeated, tone soft and gaze filled with more care than anything else. She let the quiet hang in the air for a little longer, hoping he would understand that didnt really change her resolve. "I need my bag on the way out. Cant go finding information on curses dressed like this." She added a stop to their very... Rushed plan.

He sighed as he lowered his shirt covering his back once more. Even as he moved the tattoo flickers slightly under his skin.. he turned looking over at her as he smiled a little more at ease. He noticed she wasn't avoiding him as much if at all now as he watched her pace. Slight confusion crossing his eyes and face at the giggling as she covered her mouth. He shook his head almost laughing himself finding it needed at the time to lighten the mood. "so we stop and get your bag then out of here? You remember where it was put? What all is here beyond this room?"his excitement was starting to show now that a plan was being formed abet a small and very rushed one. He found himself moving toward the door listening for any steps..not hearing any he relaxed more starting to move easier

Alea BOT 09-Dec-21 11:14 AM

"Yeah." She nodded and answered quietly, butterflies in her stomach and a replay of her evening so far. The had dinner, the rooms for the guests were to the left... And the exit was to the right. "So we just. Walk out?" She asked, her shoulder on the doorway beside him. It was easier to be more comfortable when things felt genuine. When she had a goal, and a vague understanding of her situation. Hearing no footsteps or noise she nodded to him. Now or never? Wasting more time in the toom wasnt a good idea. One last glance at the room and what Russel had planned... Knot in the pit of her stomach. "I'll go first." She offered, recognizing the hesitancy and stepping into the empty hall.

he stopped behind her staying close. His hands shaking for he'd never been out of the room. He was trusting her fully as he tried to hurry and keep up. He shut the door hoping that would make them think for a while that they were still in there. He moved touching her shoulder. His own worry slightly showing but not that much since his walls were shut tight"If someone stops us this won't be put on you. I'll take the blame and say I forced you to lead me out. No questions on that and no fighting it."he said lowly as he let her shoulder go. He followed her steps towards the guest rooms hearing voices and other sounds as they passed doors like his own. His eyes showed the anger but she felt none of it from him.

Alea BOT 09-Dec-21 11:30 AM

Barefooted light steps hurry down the hall. She doesnt look at the other doors, doesnt pause at the sounds. Out. They were working on out. Alea halts at the top of the stairs, letting a group pass them in a parallel hall unnoticed. A few worried peeks around the corner and they were moving again. Fast silent steps she was thankful for a closer room. Alea slipped into the bedroom, leaving little room for him to get through with her and quietly close the door. "Not a bad start." She muttered and started shoving things from a trunk to a smaller backpack. She threw thick pants on the bed and an oversized sweater as she came across them. "Front door is the other way... Gate is maybe 20 feet past that." She barely whispered

Caine BOT 09-Dec-21 11:35 AM

he nodded at her hurried and rushed words. He turned though noticing her tossing other clothes on the bed. His back to her as he whispered back"I'm surprised no one's checked that room yet. We need to hurry cause we may not have much longer please." for once in his life he'd said please. He stopped and thought how this was already changing him. How he was already so willing to change and become different. He shook his head listening at the door for any signs that they'd been found out. His ears pushing out all wounds but what was coming from the hall. He heard a few guards passing making jokes but they quickly moved away from her door and down the guest hall. He let out a sigh of relief hearing no chase just yet.

Alea BOT 09-Dec-21 11:42 AM

"Fast as I can." She assured him stripping the think silky dress and dawning comfortable, regular clothes. And boots. God how she missed boots. She yanked her hair into a ponytail as she met him by the door. "Im still leading?" She barely mouthed. Sure she had no issue approaching him, heart racing and being very aeay of the space between them. But out was the goal. Right now the only thing on her mind.

he glanced over his shoulder at her his dark eyes searching her face as he nodded..he'd given her time to get dressed before moving out of the way of the door for her. He sighed. He wasn't sure what to do anymore but was following her lead now. He shook his head a little trying to clear and doubts from it as he took the cold door handle in his grasp slowly opening it. He left enough room for her to slip out and himself soon after as he tried to make himself look smaller then he really was at six foot. But somehow he managed it well enough ducking behind her. He shut the door quietly as they made thier way down the halls toward the main entrance his eyes lighting up at every turn and twist seeing new things for he'd never been brought this way. He wanted to ask questions but remained quiet as he followed. He bit his lower lip trying to keep himself quiet as he grasped her arm pulling her back from a turn just as he head voices on the other side. Though they spoke different he wasn't sure if it was anyone she'd know or would know her. His grip was firm as he waited praying they would move away without noticing them. He really didn't want to act like he was hurtting her anymore then needed if they were caught

It took a few steps to adjust to the boots against the floor. Delicate landing softening any sound she could. The clawed grasp surprised her with delicacy. A sharp audible inhale as she followed the grip and ducked back against the wall. Worried glance to him as her focus shifted. Damn. She knew one of the voices and her shoulders dropped. Russel might walk this way, he didnt have a room over here, but they werent far from the top of the stairs. The his palm around her sleeve still an interesting pull... The fear of dealing with Russel was sobering. She closed her eyes hoping the voices were moving away from them.

Alea BOT 10-Dec-21 06:16 AM

Caines's words rattled louder as the consequences felt more imminent. "Hey. I need your shirt... And for you to stay quiet." She tapped his arm and mouthed. Last anyone was dealing with them... They were both tools of manipulation. Russel was just Betting Cain was stronger. Its a messy plan for sure... But if it worked... they were out without a confrontation. "Quick." She held her hand out as the other worked its way through her sleeve.

Caine BOT 10-Dec-21 06:39 AM

he looked at her with slight confusion as he released her arm from his clawed grasped. Shaking slightly as he lifted his shirt slipping it off and over his body before handing it over. He wanted to ask questions but didn't want to talk at the sametime. He knew his deeper voice would carry and he didn't want to draw attention. He tilted his head watching her as he held the shirt out waiting just to see what she was going to do.

Alea BOT 10-Dec-21 06:50 AM

"The goal is out. Everything else was negotiable... Right?" She muttered slipping the shirt on and handing him her bag. "Just agree when agreeing is necessary." She grabbed his hand and pulled him off the wall as the two voices turned the corner. "Excuse us," she parted both confused males with a polite smile and confidence, pulling Caine along. "Alea?" The blond turned and frowned at her. "What are you doing?" The accusatory tone echoed harsher in the stone hall. "Interview went well, working on the next steps. Good pick Russel." She chattered on a falst tone of happiness well practiced and polished. "We'll see you at dinner, going to talk with Francis." She picked a higher rank than him... First thing to come to mind.

he nodded at her words before she drug him around the corner. He put on his best work face and moved his body slightly differently as he held her hands he wasn't sure what game she was playing and the others didn't seem to know either as they started to protest. To block thier way. A few if the guards heading there way seeing him and giving confused looked to each other. He squeezed her hand saying they didn't have much time as he leaned close to her neck a little to speak low acting as if he was still working her over almost"We've been spotted....let's hurry"was all he said his lips brushing her ear as his breath danced across her skin

"Francis?" Russel repeated, seemingly settling down. "Yep. Wouldnt want to keep 'im waiting." Her voice cracked with a shiver. The hot breath along her neck making it hard to focus. She tugged on his hand. She drew in a shakey breath with a tinge of pink across her cheeks. Alea stood there a moment, awkward silence to try to process and separate. "Anyway." She cleared her throat. "Bye." Alea turned on her heels and walked the opposite direction of the guards over Russel's shoulders. "Might buy us five minutes from my group while he checks that." She muttered at the floor, a brisk walk to keep pace with his wider steps.

his eyes moved over her taking in the fact of how quick she thought. He followed easy enough trying to set a slower pace for her smaller steps as he kept going. He wanted out and the closer he got the more eager to see the light of day he was. He sighed trying to calm himself noticing he was still holding onto her hand as he gave it a light squeeze to reassure her this would be fine. Behind them he heard the others moving off likely to check the story before they got too far. "good idea...though I wish it could have been avoided."was all he said as he moved easily with her. He chuckled glancing around and to her seeing his shirt still on her smaller form

Alea BOT 10-Dec-21 08:50 PM

"I dont. Now if you get caught you can blame me. Might lessen your consequences." Alea barely whispered as she pulled open the exterior door. Fresh air and a crystal clear night sky left a soft glow across a manicured lawn. "Dont run." She reminded herself more than him. Warm cheeks were a reminder of how hard she was still holding his hand. She let go awkwardly and glanced over at him. The gates to the estate in view... Cool crisp breeze... Alea drew in a deep breath. "That excuse will work up until we part ways though." She knew it wasn't foolproof, but she hadn't been lying when she told him her motivations were selfish. If she didnt help to the fullest extent... She'd have trouble living with herself and every feeling in his room would eat at her knowing she could have done better.

"It won't be any less. They will think I made you do this. But don't worry about it..."his voice trailed off as he looked outside. His step slowed as he exited the door way. His eyes whidening as he took in how free it felt already. He tucked his head down not wanting to enjoy it too much as he started making himself walk again."Thank you..."he said softly catching back up with her as she kept walking.'parting ways? I thought you said something about breaking this curse back in the room."he spat the last word out as they walked towards the gate. Surprisingly no one was meaning them at this point..must be on their rounds

Alea BOT 11-Dec-21 06:36 AM

Alea's pace quickened outside. The distance from people always freeing. It was easier to breath and relax without so many people around. She didnt even realize she'd walked away from him... Goal as far from this headache as possible. "You wanna hang out and find out? Or can we move away from our rushed jail break." She stopped and matched his demeanor, guesturing further away from the property. "I cant do anything here. I dont know anyone. So are you coming North or no?" She looked him over long enough to realize he was still shirtless. "And we need to stop and grt you warmer clothes and shoes... Chop chop. This was step one." She yawned and atarted off toward the closest town.

"No your right"he muttered as he hurried and caught up. Taking longer steps he started off. His lean body already breaking out in goosebumps as the tattoo flared lighting for a moment as they passed the gates. His time had begun. He shivered shaking his head as he walked a little ahead of her as if to protect her from anything they came across..he paused though when he saw the lights of the next town. Shaking his head he looked back at her eyes full of sorrow as he sighed"What if...they think I'm a monster....I don't know how to handle people..."he said softly his voice full of pain

Alea BOT 11-Dec-21 01:43 PM

"Then fuck 'em." She flipped her back around onto her chest. Fingers counting money and mind spinning. "Do what you think is right and let them sort themselves out." Soft carefree steps practically bounced as they turned out of view. A few strides brought her alongside him, the gravity of his worry more apparent. She drew in a deep breath, shoving the money in her pocket and putting the bag over her shoulder. Alea made an effort to soften her tone. "You dont have to deal with people just yet. Lets do clothes and rest for the night... Do what you want, or what you can and just... Decompress." Alea suggested. She could probably guess his size pretty well, and getting a room didnt require him to talk.

She exhaled hard, the warm breath across her sink still swirling with the night through her head. Now isn't the time for her to worry, or to be heartbroken about the betrayal that had to happen to put her in that position. Right now... God knows how many years of trauma and abuse was walking free next to her... And that was gonna be a roller coaster....

His mind raced as he tried to calm everything down. He turned his face away from her hidding the pain and worry in his eyes. He sighed just trying to take in the night air around them and the fact he wasn't locked away. He shivered the slight chill bitting into his skin finally as his body calmed down from the race so far to get away. He looked back to her as soon as he felt he could though he still couldn't catch his thoughts. He just nodded not trusting himself to speak just yet and give too much pressure in her. He smiled though a little shakey as he started into the town. His eyes dancing around taking in the sights and smells of the place as he got closer

Alea BOT 11-Dec-21 02:24 PM

As they approached one of the Inns closer to the edge of town she couldnt help but what him experiencing things for the first time. "I can go grt a room without you, or I can give you your shirt back so you can go to the desk with me... Which do you wanna do?" She asked, a pause in her determined walking. Its important to give options... Especially if he isnt used to them. Calm patience watching him carefully.

he smiled slightly giving a uneasy chuckle as he thought looking around"I'll come with you. I don't want to get lost out here without you."he smiled again this time easier as he stepped closer waiting for his shirt to put back on. He twitched and shivered softly as he glanced around again almost relaxing but still on alert

Alea BOT 11-Dec-21 04:26 PM

Alea dropped the bag at her ankles and peeled his shirt off. Smooth fabric dragging goosebumps across her navel. Simple black bra clasped around her as she tossed him his shirt and crouched to get hers out of her bag. "Your call," her tone neutral and pleasant. Alea pulled her sleeves on and flipped her sweater over her messy blue hair. It only took a few moments for him to throw his shirt on and they headed in. "Hi, we need two beds." She asked with a warm smile and cash in hand. "Just the night... Traveling." Alea explained casually... Eyes on the clerk for a reaction to her. Roomie? Sex icon? Travel buddy? Whatever they needed a room and he needed weather appropriate clothes. It was getting cold at night.

Caine BOT 12-Dec-21 04:40 AM

he tried to act normal but he wasn't sure how to do that. He mirrored her movements as he turned his hands into the thin fabric called pockets in his pants after getting dressed. He blushed slightly having made her change outside but he didn't want to be left alone. Atleast not yet. He smiled kindly to the inn keeper who looked Caine up and down "Not often we get mixed breeds in here. A room for two? I'm sure we have something that will work even though I'm surprised your not sharing the bed with him."the inn keeper commented slightly throwing small slugs at them. But he turned away looking to see what they had open and pulled a key down handing it over to her giving a total for the night for the two before taking her money."Third floor last door to the left. Breakfast if wanted in the morning and no trouble from either of you"he added handing her back her change* Cain tilted his head not quite understanding but he didn't ask as he took her hand turning towards the stairs the inn keep pointed towards and walking with her up the three flights. He pulled open the door they were told would be thiers and stepped inside letting out a long held breath before chuckling"He thought I was a half breed. That's a good thing in case they are looking for us already."his dark eyes turned taking in the room. It was well furnished and held to small beds fit enough for each of them inside. To the right a door leading towards a bathroom as well which he was thankful for wanting to take a shower before anything else. To get the grit and grim off his body

"He hogs the blankets." She shrugged with a chuckle putting her money away. "And snores... Does that count as trouble?" Alea had grown used to acting at ease for others benifit. They tended to mirror what they were dealing with in her expierence. Her hand tensed in his. A momentary hitch in the thought process. She nodded politely as she took the keys and headed toward the stairs. Thankful for the quite Alea didnt have trouble adjusting and sorting through the physical contact. "They probably are." Her voice low and neutral. It had been a little bit... Met with and lied to someone in the hall. Alea closed and locked the door out of habit. A deep breath and light steps let her drop her bag on the foot of one of the beds and sprawl out. It had been yoo long since she'd slept. The ache in her shoulders met with a comfy pillow and quiet. "I'll go get you clothes in a minute..." She assured softly, her eyes closed.

he chuckled knowing she was about to slip asleep. Or that's what it seemed at least. He went over taking his blacker from the other bed and tossing it over her to keep her warm. He wasn't really worried about it as this is what he was used to. With a slight sigh he went to the bathroom. Glancing in the mirror he looked at himself. Eyes dark and shadowed with a need for rest that he wasn't giving into just yet. He shook his long black hair out stripping down as he shut the door and turning on the bath water before slipping into the steaming tub. He groaned relaxing quickly as he leaned back his eyes closing as he relaxed more and more. Humming a soft tune he couldn't remember where he picked up he started to clean himself getting the smell and grime from that place off his body

Alea BOT 14-Dec-21 02:10 AM

Alea exhales and chuckles as the blanket lands on her. "No dont do that, I wont get up." She explains lazily pushing the blankets off. The bathroom door closing gave her reason to look around. It was a nice enough little room. He would definitely need warmer clothes if they were going to leave super early. Once the water was running she sighed and kicked her feet over the edge of the bed. They had passed a shop on the way it. It wouldnt take long to go just down the street. She pocketed her money, grabbed a room key and headed out. Tired tousel of her hair as the let it free of the messy bun. The crisp air bit against her bare cheeks, but the clothing shop was warm enough. Alea started looking through clothes, holding them up to compare to the size of the person who had been standing next to her.
