Thread: A Bloody Cause ( Ava & Valanaer)

Hearing his name was kind of nice, he hadn't expected it to but when she said it he couldn't help but feel a bit up, his spirits being lifted. She was right that it was no time to get soft and he hadn't, he was going to be receptive to her of course but he knew what would have to be done to survive and get back to his people and it wasn't going to be easy. Seth relaxed as Gabriella went into her bedchamber and for the first time he began to feel a tad nervous about going into her room to hide out and avoid detection. The thought of being close to her was no longer unimportant, she was literally the girl in his dreams, perhaps she was small at the time but now she was absolutely gorgeous. It was as if a fog hiding her beauty and his feelings had been lifted, the simple reason that she was a Vampire being all that was required to ruin his perception of her. It wasn't as it he was in love with her but their were feelings of fondness for the girl from his past and her being beautiful was how it was, something that he should have noticed from the start if not for his dislike of her kind. So when she sat on the arm of his chair he looked up almost nervous, it wasn't on his face and his voice didn't show it either but it was there deep down, I will make sure not to take up too much of your bed or being too much of a disruption. He took a deep breath and nearly laughed as he thought about those feelings of fondness, while being next to her would make him a bit nervous it didn't come near to how nervous he was about hurting himself and having to continue the slow treatment or bleeding on what were no doubt luxury sheets, the female VanBuran heir being part of a group that definitely enjoyed an 'elegant' lifestyle. His family lived modestly, clothing and food being the same as their people and all of their funds going to their people, at least for the last group of kinds starting with his grandfather. The VanBuran family lived lavish lives, although one thing with Gabriella was she seemed more worried about people than her brothers, or at least she seemed to prove that by allowing a wounded Lycan into her castle, especially into her room, not to mention handling them personally. Regardless he had a feeling her bedroom would be no exception as far as quality of furniture and items. The current problem in his mind was pushed aside by a question he hadn't expected, one about his people and their battle strategy as it were. Despite how I go about our battles and how fiercely I defend our own land, I am not looking for land gains, especially from a location that despite its allegiances never once sent out troops. Of course some of the elders disagree and believe wiping out a supply line near our borders would be good but my brother always refused to do so and so have I. Seth grew silent for a moment and looked at the flames of the fire, letting his thoughts construct themselves into intelligent sentences before speaking. You know Gabriella, I was never one who loved war, I was trained as a warrior but my brother raised me and neither of us sought to kill your people, only to defend ours. Then your brother Damion launched the assault on one of our neutral villages just to slaughter my brother as he visited the woman he loved, slaughtering non-combatants and murdering my brother as he tried to allow people to escape... That's when I stopped caring... His voice was near to when they had first spoken, before either knew who the other was. He looked over to her once again with a heavy look upon his face. He wanted peace and happiness and for that he was murdered by your beloved kin, they do not want peace and even if one day they do I will not let them have it. Seth did not comment on having to leave her, he was too deep in his own thoughts to realize she had even said something again, his mind saturated with horrible memories. He didn't blame Gabriella and he hated being like that in front of her but sometimes it was hard to feel any happiness knowing what he had lost in all of the chaos.
