Thread: Can I Keep Her? [nightsorceress & katon]

The sound of laughing men grew louder, there exact location could not be point pointed as the echo of their voices rang around the silent forest. Before James stood a woman she, her black hair rolled down her face disguising most of her features. Her voice was soft as she spoke. Though not entirely forceful, more timid or weak. Her excuse of stopping to rest could have been some what valid apart from the fact most locals were afraid of the lurking vampires that had been sighted and there was also no distinguishable path near by. She was at a fair distance from him but showed none of the aggression a vampire would, James only had rumours and myths to base his facts on. The sound of men grew louder. Closing the gap between him and the mysterious woman James holds is hand out and offers the young woman his assistance. My name is James Drayton, the rabble of men you can hear echoing are not with me, their drunk and looking for something. I doubt they are going to find it but on discovering a woman of your calibre I find it probable you will be taken advantage of. They are just farmers and men of the lower class, theyve been drinking all day and a tiresome image of beauty such as your self will, more than turn their minds from hunting to something more devious. Removing his coat he offers it to the young woman it unconditionally, being rather concerned about her physical state. Your so pale my dear, what have you been doing wondering his forest alone? Take my coat I insist the warmth should hopefully bring some colour back to your cheeks at least. Ushering to move away out of the clearing and back towards the direction of town James will walk by the woman, in her feeble state she maybe prone to collapse or just need support. The walk to town was down hill, which is always more favourable when one is tired or not quite up to the trek. James had noticed the womans pale skin and her rather alluring yet oddly coloured eyes. He had never seen eyes of that colour, he had read deeply into human anatomy in his time searching for information to the secrets of life, finding nothing of use he at least gained a common knowledge of human anatomy from it. He had failed to notice her fangs as she spoke to him, he was too busy understanding why a woman of natural beauty would be alone in the wood lands. Her eyes were odd and even though vampires were essentially predators they would indefinitely of had a discoloured eye pigment, slight retinal adjustments too as they were nocturnal hunters. At least by myth they were. Nothing added up though, a weak vampire should attack on opportunity, regardless of the ratifications, they were animals and their basic instinct to live would out way that of anything else. Continuing to walk in silence James ponders more, the cold isnt affecting him too much. He is too deep in concentration and the constant walking is vigorous enough to keep him warm. A chill of wind blows behind the pair, sending a shiver through James body and seeming to suck the heat from his body as he passes through him. Checking his pocket he takes out to hip flasks. Oddly he opens one and smells it, places that back into his pocket and proceeds to drink out of the other. Bitterly cold, isnt it? Would you like something to drink? Should help warm you up from the cold. I would advise going steady if you do take a sip though, youre so pale you dont look like youve eaten for days. Jokes James as he offers the flask to his new companion.
