Thread: A Bloody Cause ( Ava & Valanaer)

Seth knew he was not well enough to depart before Gabriel's arrival but he had to believe he had a chance of surviving even if he left before his injury was completely healed. Besides if what Gabriella said earlier was the truth, the Vampires hadn't figured out what happened yet and they would not be patrolling the woods beyond their own in fear of the Lycan's lying in wait. She seemed to disagree with his plan however and came up with an idiotic plan of her own. The female soon made a case that they would have to move him but not just anywhere, to her bedchambers and the idea did not sit well with Seth whatsoever, sure he owed her a great deal and surviving was an important thing for anyone but sharing the bedchambers with a VanBuran, it was beyond his tolerance level. Unfortunately she made a good point about his injury and the Sanguine Knights surrounding her home, there was a chance that such skilled Vampires would smell or hear him and hunt him down before he made it to the his peoples border, and even then if it was as bad as he believed the safety wasn't real and if the knights dared follow he would be in danger. Seth sighed and placed his head back down before responding, Alright, I will try and bear with it all and do as you say, just let me rest for the night and gain some strength as I am sure the next few days will be trying and I will need all the energy I can get. Hopefully that will be enough to get me out of your castle before too long... It was slightly annoying how much she gabbed on but luckily for him she was tired as well and soon enough she dozed off, allowing him some form of peace in order to get to sleep as well and it was quickly welcomed. When he slumbered the unnerving memories danced in his head again, cycling through all of the things he had wished to forget at first but then swiftly coming back around to that one memory more vivid that ever, the little girl, he was running up behind her laughing and going on near the creek which he use to play. She was running for whatever reason laughing and giggling as he caught up and finally he pounced. This time it was different though, suddenly he was himself, grown up and looking down at none other than Gabriella who was smiling up at him, then it vanished, the entire picture just disappearing and his eyes fluttering open. He was covered by a blanket, his body warm and his wound just fine and while he wasn't sure how long he had slept a refreshed feeling enveloped him. Gabriella was no longer in the chair where she had originally dozed off but instead he could hear her in the other room, his ears perked up a bit to ensure nothing else was going on and finally when he was satisfied he closed his eyes again and just relaxed, itching to get up and move but knowing he would be better off trying to remain still and relax as long as he could manage. Soon enough though Gabriella entered the room and his eyes opened back up to the sound of her yawn. It wasn't that he had to stay up when she was around but he knew her voice would keep him from slumber anyways and it would be easier to just accept it and start his day. I see I slept better because of you, the blanket was a welcomed addition. He didn't smile and he was still too stubborn to say thank you but it was obvious what he was getting at. The young Lycan was looking up from his position at her, the woman dressed in her forest green gown was quite captivating, going perfectly with her eyes. His head was fixated on a blue color though and as he stared he tried to imagine her in a blue dress like the girl from his past, his mind trying to tell him she was one and the same but he refused to listen, looking for any reason to discredit her and forget about the entire matter. He doubted it would change anything of course but as he lay there barely able to move he had little to do or think about that was as intriguing as the possibility of a VanBuran having played with him in his youth. He wondered if she would simply remember but chose to keep it to himself, at least for a time.
