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

The walk to town was further than expected and even James was being coming a little tiresome, even so light was beginning to fade and the warmth of a tavern was more alluring than the bitter cold that was ravaging the pair as they walked. The ground was still paved the coloured leaved over the ground, some were dry and had been on the ground for some time, they crunched under foot as the couple walked. James staring up at the skies and he walked and didnt notice that the young woman had fallen behind and crashed to the floor. Rushing back to her side the woman is completely exhausted. Dropping to his knees James pulls his coat tighter around the woman. He stumbles around with his hands to find a pulse on her neck, not being able to find it he assume it is too weak to be found by his untrained hands. Moving closer to her lips the soft touch of her breath meets his ear signalling the woman is still alive. Checking her mouth for signs of dehydration James stubbles upon the real reason he is here, her fangs protrude from her mouth, much larger than any human he has seen before. Large fangs the common trait of a vampire. Holding on in his arms he is so close to beginning his new research, but she is fading. Her weakened state obviously down to lack of food. Vampires most common and only known food is blood, not the run of the mill item humans carry around, though their bodys are quite a good storage of the mentioned substance. Not wishing to trade his life for hers James decided not to attempt to cut him self open so she can feed. Neither to allow her to bite, myth state that a vampire bite changes the victim should the vampire not drain them of life. Town wasnt far, a brisk sprint down hill and they would be safe, within the confines of a tavern he would be able to muster some nourishment for the vampire. Raw meat always dripped blood, which could work. Struggling to pick the young woman up James manages to get her comfortably over his shoulder. Thoughts of how he can save her rushing though his mind he sets off in haste bounding down the hill. Tripping and stumbling James tumbles with the young woman, animal instincts take over as the pain from the falls is replaced with adrenaline and the instinct to get the young woman to safety. The final few trees cleared and the road that ran adjacent to the forest was presented to James. One last groan as he adjusted the woman and tried to rush her back to the town. Its wasnt far, a few buildings could be seen and it seemed as if they were nothing more than a stones throw away. Limping and carrying her to the tavern concerned villagers noted the well dressed man carrying the limp woman. Entering the tavern he so unelegantly kicked the door open to receive a dirty look from the owner sat opposite the door behind the reception, a few villagers were in the bar area of the tavern drinking quietly in a corner. Dont just stand there man, shes my wife! We took a fall, shes in a bad way. Show me to my room im a doctor! His desperate and anxious words gaining the attention of everyone in the room. The owner quickly led the way darting up the stairs to the room opening the door to the room for James to enter. Placing the woman down on the bed James threatens the owner for hovering in the door way. For goodness sake how is a man to investigate his wifes injuries with a pervert looming at the door! The owner soon turned tail and hastily left, his foot steps the only sound as he made his way down the stairs.
