Thread: A Monster: Now and Forever (Razgriz x kuro_bara)

Moments after the warlock vanished through a side window, Selena slipped out of the room and made her way further down the hall using one the motels side entrances to get away from the emergency crews that were hurrying into the building. It didnt take long to get back to her hotel, the walk gave her plenty of time to consider what had happened, what she had just done. She was still conflicted by the confrontation but at this point it was the past and nothing could be changed about it. The first thing she did on entering her room was go straight to the computer to send a report to the Steward detailing the entire days events. Selena was sure he would be more than a little irritated with her for not removing the warlock when she had the chance but she was confident in her loyalty to Cassandra and knew he was too. With the message sent, she started stripping out of the clothes, sliding into a gold coloured silk robe. After today she wanted a long hot soak in the enormous tub her suite offered. Before she even began running the water her computer blipped, a reply from the Steward. The Steward never seemed to sleep and almost always responded within minutes of receiving a message. Selena would not be shocked at all if he found a way to receive them directly to his brain. Her emerald eyes widened in surprise at his response, and a pensive frown formed on her lips. Return to the manor at once. Youre mission is compromised, you will be relocated. Selena tapped her chin for a few minutes, staring absently across the room. It was a peculiar message. They knew full well she could take care of herself, and that she knew what was at stake, the risk involved and what would need to be done if she WAS compromised. The warlocks face and his words swam up in her mind. He was clever and driven, if she returned there was a good chance he would track her. He knew her now, not just her face but her magic too. The Steward was going to be supremely displeased by her response. Too risky. Will leave Venice but potential for tracking to high. Will contact again once safe. S.Michel There was no point in waiting for a reply, she had implied she would be going silent for a while until the warlock stopped following her. Looking around the room she realized if she packed hurriedly and left town immediately it might lure him into following her away from Cassandra, it meant she would need to face off with him eventually but it would make up for what she had done earlier. Tossing the robe on the bed she quickly dressed in comfortable clothing, leaving a few pieces behind and stuffing a few things into an overnight bag. She threw her computer in the bag and few more personal things before hurrying out of the hotel, not even bothering to check out. The more rushed and panicked her escape looked, the more likely he would think she was rushing to her boss to report or get to safety. The quickest way to get out of town was to head for the train station, she picked a destination randomly, something with a train that was leaving relatively soon and eventually found herself curled up in a seat on the way to Germany. That would certainly tickle his curiosity since it was one of the countries Cassandras shroud extended to. A Coven there maintained it, so Selena planned on paying them a visit, she would be much safer with a whole Coven of witches loyal to Cassandra and as an added bonus, there were a few business leads she could follow up on in Berlin. Sighing she leaned back and closed her eyes, letting the rocking of the train lull her to sleep though it was hardly restful, the warlock and his searing flames haunted her for the entire journey.
