Re: Terrified To Die [R] (~-Making Mirrors-~ )

Fate noticed how Connor averted his gaze from her for a few moments, seemin to distract himself from somethingbefore he looked at her and spoke. His last words about being a shadw nagged at her, especially as he forced a smile. However, when he gave a real smiled, Fat ocked he head to the side, confused. To be honest, she never had any idea what this man was thinking about and his frustrated her to no end, and yet it intriued her. Connor was interesting; a mystery. He was kind and gentle one minute, the next cold. Fate felt the need to get to know him better, but wold dare not utter such things to him.
She hesitated, his words still puling at her and she looked away for a moment beore she looked at the groupas they laughed. "By shadow," she started and paused and glanced at him, "do you mean that you were always there with him, but no one ever looked at you? Being compared to him evn whe you tried your best? Overlooked and unapeciated for who you were. A shadow that could never quite catch up?" she asked before she quickly looked away, cringing. "Sorry, you don't have to answer that," she said and looked away.
How could she be so stupid to ask him that? Of course hwouldn't answer and if it was true, he would probably hate her now. But she had to know. She had expernced that, but not quite in the way others may think. She could never met the standards of her deceased brother whom had died when she was 3. He had been 15 at the time. She couldn't remember hm or the life of her and still didn't think she ever had a brother. But she was always told she was nevr as good as him. Always epected to be likeim. But she never could be.
Not that it bothered her that much.. That's what she thought, anyway.

Connor wrung his hands together in his lap as she spoke on, suddenly feeling as though his stomach was plunging down to his feet and then racing up to his throat.
She continued, telling him everything he already knew but didn't want to hear. His eyes burned and he blinked away the feeling. When she finished and apologized, Connor bit his lip and slid off the branch. He landed silently on the foliage below and ran a hand through his dark hair. "I'm sorry, Fate, I-" he paused, at a loss for words.
Cat got your tongue, eh?
A voice nagged at his mind, fogging his thoughts. Connor winced and bit his cheek hard. "I should help the others...." He managed, then glanced around as though searching for something to do. Everything was already finished, though, so he shifted his feet awkwardly and turned his eyes to his boots. Now you've done it, Connor. The one thing you were good at and some girl saw down to your secrets like looking through glass. Connor didn't hate her for asking, he hated himself for caving. He could've easily shrugged her off and told her some tightly wound lie like he did with the others. Instead, he acted like a pathetic child and flinched.

by Tayssi Fri Nov 09, 2012 5:39 pm

Fate watched Connor and she instantly regretted saying anything. She watched as he slid from the branch and apologised. What did he have to apologise for? Nothing! It was all her fault! She was an idiot. She blew it. The only person here that she was able to talk to here and now he hated her. She listened to his next words and watched as he started walking. "Connor, wait-" she started, however, he was already out of ear shot. Fate sighed and ran a hand through herr auburn hair and looked away from the camp, into the darkness of the trees.
She blew it. This was it. She was such a moron!
Fate's eyes pricked with tears, but she blinked them away before she shuffled to the side to lean on the tree trunk. She brought her legs up and hugged her knees to her chest, burying her face in them. Tears welled, but she refused to let them escape. She couldn't cry over this. Shaking them away, Fate squeezed her eyes shut, welcoming the darkness that enveloped her.
She was an idiot. That's all there was to it.

(sorry)

by Saviour Fri Nov 09, 2012 5:46 pm

Connor shook his head and decided to join his brother at the table.
His walked cautiously over to the laughing bunch and eased into a seat that wasn't already occupied. The woman he had sat by stopped laughing and smiled weakly at him, as though afraid he would snap her neck right there. Kayle, however, seemed completely unfazed. Gathering his breath, Kayle turned his bright blue eyes to Connor's and grinned.
"Brother! You should've seen him, she spilled a drink down his front after he tried to kiss her!" Kayle snorted and then burst into another round of unnecessary laughter. Connor forced a chuckle and leaned forward, burying his face in his palms and sighing deeply. The group returned to their raucous behavior soon after their fears of an angry Connor were relieved.
He turned his green eyes up towards the tree he was previously sitting in and saw Fate, curled into a tight ball, balancing on the branch. Connor gritted his teeth and looked down, studying the uneven surface of the table.

by Tayssi Fri Nov 09, 2012 6:09 pm

Fate wondered what she should do now. She had no one to talk to and no where to run. She sighed a stayed how she was for atleast 5 minutes before she decided she was stupid; acting like a child. She would not apologise to Connor just yet. She would speak to him to again tomorrow. That's what she promised herself. Fate looked over at he grop sitting at the table and saw the dark haird man and she groaned. Tomorrow was going to be fun.
However, she noticed no one, or anyone else in the cap was watching her, so she slid from the branch and landed evenly in a half crouch before she straightened herself and brushed off bits of bark and dirt. She tugged at the hem of her dress before she walked over to a table which had been set up, but nobody was there. She sat down on a makeshift seat and wondered what she was supposed to do now. Sh looked down at he table for a moment and her auburn hair fell forward, blocking anyone's vie of her face.
After a minute, Fate looked ito the black of the trees, wishing she could disappear into them. Never to be seen again. That's what she wanted at that very moment.

by Saviour Fri Nov 09, 2012 9:44 pm

Connor sighed thickly and sent a sharp glare in the direction of a short, fat man across from him.
He had made a nasty comment about Fate, but his gaping mouth slapped shut instantaneously when he met Connor's steely stare. Kayle seemed to have been frustrated by the comment as well, because the muscles in his thick arm rippled and he pulled back, ready to catch him in the nose. Thinking quickly, the raven-haired brother caught his arm, and stood from the table. "That's not necessary..." He said quietly, and Kayle glared over at him. "He deserves it," Kayle retorted, his face bunched into an angry snarl.
"I could not agree more but we cannot go on breaking every man's nose who makes a perverse comment towards a woman," Connor explained, then removed his pale fingers from Kayle's tanned skin. He bought it, and with a final glare at the fat man, turned back and began talking to a burly, less than appealing woman.

by Tayssi Fri Nov 09, 2012 10:14 pm

Fate heard someone standing quickly adn she turned slightly to see who it wa. Cnno was standing, touching his brother's arms and there was an exchange of words before Kayle turned to speak to a woman and Connor sat down again. She had no idea what had just happened, but she wasn't about to ask, either. There was no place for her there. Especialy not after what had happened. Fate turned to stare into the trees again, wondering what she'd be doing right now had her life been trned upside down. In her room? Running through the forest? Helping to maids? She couldn't really say, but it made a wave of lonliness wash ove her.
It had been the first time since she had been forced to leae her home, after her parents were murdered. She hadn't felt lonely. Not once. Not until now.
Fate sighed and crossed her arms over her chest, unsure of what she could do. A few minutes later, a man with short chestnt coloured hair and almost black eyes sat across from her. Fat stiffened slightly and shelooked at the man before looking away. "So you're Kayle's new play toy?" he inquied, leaning over the makeshift table to look more closely at her. Fate trned her head o look at him and shrugged. "If that's what you want to call me," she replied and looked away again. Obvously, this man wasn't here for a frendly conversation.
The man's smirk widened and he leaned impossibly closer, whilst Fate leaned away from him. "Well then, wana play with me?" he asked and Fate's face scrunched in disgust. "No thanks," she replied sortly and went to stand, but he gripped her arm and kept her where she was. "Come on, surely Kayle is getting boring by now. Be my woman," he said, an animalistic tone to his voice.
Fate's brows knitted together and she pulled away and stood up. "I am no one's woman," she replied, looking down at the arm bfore she turned to leave. He scrambled to his feet and grabbed her forearm and turned her around, gripping her shoulder with his other hand. She tried to step out of his grip, but the man was taller then her and alot stronger. He stepped towards her all Fate could do was step back, until her ack hit a tree which was only a couple metres behind them.
He smirked down at her and she looke away, until he stepped closer, forcing a leg between hers. She gasped in surprise and stared up at the man before he leaned down and forced her into a kiss. Fate's eyes widened in shock before she tried to push him away, but she couln't. She hoped someone would see, but she wasn't sure if anyone would notice, as they ere at the very egdes of camp.

by Saviour Fri Nov 09, 2012 10:33 pm

A look of relief crossed Connor's face and he relaxed again, leaning to the side and resting on the table as one of the women awkwardly attempted conversation.
She had light blond hair and was quite a bit smaller than the others. Her dark eyes avoided his as she spoke, telling him about feeling left out when the others all had someone to talk to. Although Connor tried to point out that she was talking with him, the woman continued to speak her woes until he found himself sitting uncomfortably to support her weight, mumbling under his breath about her tears wetting his shirt.
The woman eventually stopped, and batted away the remaining tears on her cheeks. Connor cocked an eyebrow at her and she seemed to realize something rather suddenly. Leaping from her seat, she stumbled off towards another group and table. The dark haired man sighed and wrinkled his nose at the moist patch on his shoulder. Standing up, Connor turned away from the group and unbuttoned his shirt, pulling it away from his lean, muscular chest. He tossed the shirt into a half tent and then ducked inside. When he emerged, he was pulling a fresh, black sweater over himself. Connor ran a hand through his long, dark hair to smooth it down and rolled his neck. Several days of sleeping in a tent on the ground was definitely not his style. His body preferred a real bed any day..

[[ Should he find her or no? ]]

by Tayssi Fri Nov 09, 2012 11:00 pm

Fate tried to pull away when the man's hand which had been gripping her forearm changed to ceeping down the top of her dress. She tried to push him, to pull away, but she wasn't able to even move him an inch. He pulled back for a breath and Fate took in a deep breath before she glared at him. "Get off of me!" she growled and the man just smirked before he glanced over at Kayle's group, making sure no one would see them.
Fate took tha as a chance and stepped to the side when he was mometarily distracted and managed to esape his hold. She went to rush forward, but he grabbed her again and jerked her back to the tree. "Let go of me!" she said just before he crashed his mouth against hers again. What was she supposed to do? There wa no way to get ot of this situation. Se was done for; no one was going to help her.
The man forced his leg between hers again and moved his hand down the shirt of her dress again. Tears pricked at Fate's eyes, just knowing she was screwed. She was in alot of trouble right now..

(yep, sure Smile

if you want him to. If not then you know what'll happen, i'll fade to black a doing that myself is just boring Neutral

by Saviour Fri Nov 09, 2012 11:09 pm

Connor adjusted the sleeves of his sweater and dusted it off briefly before he heard a familiar voice coming from the forest.
His eyebrows slid downwards and Connor hesitated a moment. He heard it again, and it was clear as day.
"Fate?" Connor called out to her, glancing behind himself before stepping into the shadows towards the sound. The shift from being bathed daylight and brushed with shadows was drastic. He went from appearing normal and almost amiable to dark and calculating. The darkness made his angular face appear even more gaunt, and his brilliant green eyes stood out more. Connor searched the foliage for movement. "Are you alright? Where are you?" He called out again, trying not to sound too concerned.

[[ Bah, sss ]]

by Tayssi Fri Nov 09, 2012 11:32 pm

Fate cringed as the man ripped the shirt of her dress, revealing her cest. He was sick of trying to maneuver around the material. She moved a hand to try and cover heself, however he grabbed her hands in his one and pulled them above her head, breaking the kiss momentarily. Her hands were between the tree and his hand. She hd no way of fighting against. None whatso ever, now. Tears welled in her eyes and streaked down her cheeks. She was scared. More then she ever had been with the bandits. She was completely and utterly terrified.
Suddenly, Connor's voice cut through the trees, but the man forcing himself upon her didn't seem to realise. He broke apart for air and Fate took her chance. "Connor!" she called into the trees, fear evident in his voice. She didn't care if he saw her half naked right now. It didn't even process to her. She just wanted to get away from this man. She was scared and her heart was racing from her fear. The chestnut haired man ignored her call, not seeming toprocess that he was near them,and leaned down to kiss her again before he leaned down even further, to trail kisses along her throat. "No, don't," Fate sobbed, wanting this to end.

by Saviour Fri Nov 09, 2012 11:38 pm

Connor turned to the sound of Fate's urgent voice and moved faster towards it.
He then heard the scuffling of feet and her voice again. A look of distaste spread across his face when he saw the man, bent over Fate. Anger flooded through Connor and he rushed forward, grabbing the man by his throat and turning him around. The forest was thick in this area, so they met another tree quickly. Connor leaned closer to the man, tightening his grip on his throat. The only dress, the only article of clothing that would even fit Fate, and he had ripped it to shreds in his blind lust.
"You will not touch her again, or I swear on my life I will end yours!" Connor hissed, so close to the man's face that their noses almost touched. He narrowed his eyes and moved his grip to the man's shirt, shaking him. "Do you hear me?" He snapped, balling the fabric tighter in his fists.

[[ Ahh, sorry I'm making tea hahaha ]]

by Tayssi Sat Nov 10, 2012 12:04 am

Fate heard Connor move through the forest and came into view. Fae stared at the dark haired man as he wrenched the man away from and Fate's weak seemed to turn to jelly as she went to the ground, drawing in short, sharp breaths. Her fear coursed through her like icy cold veins and she lookd up at Connor as she herd his voice. His voic alone calmed her somewhat and she clutched at the shredded material over her chest.
The man's eyes went wide with surprise as he looked at Connor, unable to say anything. However, Connor gripped his shirt and shook him and the man nodded vigorously before he pulle himself from Connor's grasp and stumbled away from them, back to camp. Fate's dark gaze shiftedto the ground before she looked up at Connor and pushed herself to her feet.
She wiped her tears away and looked away. She had no idea what to say to him. "Connor, I," she started before hse paused and looked up at him, her words vanishing from her mind. "I-i'm sorry, I-i didn't.. I didn't know," she didn't know whether she meant about what happened earlier, or what just happened. Not that she really needed to apologise about what just happened. She had no control over that.
To be honest, she was still scared. She didn't want to go back to camp, where that man would be.

by Saviour Sat Nov 10, 2012 12:13 am

Connor moved to grab the man back but he had already run off towards the camp.
He took a moment to center himself, to control himself, before turning around to Fate. His gaze softened as soon as she started to speak and he shook his head. "No, it's not your fault," he told her, stepping forward and frowning at her torn dress. When she continued to apologize Connor stepped forward and pulled her towards him, hugging her. The motion was so natural to him when someone was hurt, but he surprised himself when he did it. The embrace wasn't even awkward like he had expected, just comforting. After a moment Connor stepped back, feeling rather odd now that he had been so close to her. He stepped back and bowed his head, looking away. "I will go and," he paused, furrowing his brows to try and find something to do. "Perhaps the women will having something for you to wear.."

by Tayssi Sat Nov 10, 2012 12:38 am

Fate looked at Connor as he spoke and when he reached towards her, she flinched, though didn't move away from him as he pulled her into a hug. She relaxed in his arms and gave a sigh. When he stepped back, Fate looked up at him and then looked away for a moment. Then he mentioned about goig back t ask the women fo some clothes. When he truned an took a step away, Fate stepped forward and with her free hand, she grabbed the nd of is shirt n looked at the ground.
"Don't go," she pleaded. She didn't want to be left alone. What if he came back? Se didn't want him to come back; she didn't want to be alone. "Please.. Don't go," she said softly. She glanced up at Connor and then ooked away. She let go a moment later, "i'm sorry.." she said and triled off, looking away, takng a deep breath to calmherself a bit more.

(sorry)

by Saviour Sat Nov 10, 2012 12:56 am

Connor turned as she pulled on his shirt, looking over at her with curiosity.
He frowned slightly when she asked him to stay and glanced around them. They would have to go back eventually. He sighed and then nodded, "Alright, I'll stay.." He said, but then pushed his hands awkwardly into his pockets. What was he supposed to say or do now? He didn't feel like hugging her again. It wasn't unpleasant, but he didn't enjoy being that close to anyone, or at least hadn't grown used to it. "Do you.. Want anything?" He asked her, shuffling his feet slightly.

[[

]]

by Tayssi Sat Nov 10, 2012 1:20 am

Fate sighed in relief when Connor said that he'd stay. She looked up at him as he shoved his hands into his pockets and wondered what she was supposed to do. A minute later, the dark haired man spoke and she shook her head. "No.. I just don't... No, I'm fine," she said and looked at the ground. She looked away and then looked back at Connor and shook her head. "You can go.. I'll be fine I was just being stupid," she said softly and shifted her gaze away from him.
She was being stupid. Paranoid, even. Why would that man come back after the warning Connor had given him? Only if he was a complete idiot... Right? She ran a hand through her auburn hair before she looked away, unsure of what she should do. Sure, she wanted the protection of Connor, but she couldn't be weak for the rest of her life. And if she stood there with him for too long, it would become awkward eventually. Afterall, all she had covering her chest now were shredded bits of fabric from the shirt of her dress.

by Saviour Sat Nov 10, 2012 1:35 am

Connor looked over at her and shook his head.
"No no, it's fine," he told her, then remembered her shirt. Connor hesitated, then turned around and pulled off his sweater. "Here, it's better than nothing, I suppose," he told her, then passed it over to her awkwardly. Connor wasn't exactly ripped, but he had lean muscles. The reason he felt weird about it was that he actually cared what Fate thought of him, and he didn't want her thinking he was being strange or perverse or anything. He folded his arms over his chest and looked into the forest again.

by Tayssi Sat Nov 10, 2012 1:51 am

Fate's eyes widened slightly as Connor peeled his shirt from his torso and then hed it out to her. She hesitated for a moment and listened to his words before she nodded before she took it from his grasp. "I suppose it is," she replied softly and watched as he looked into the forest again before she pulled the sweater over her head, the shredded material falling down before it was covered a moment later by the sweater. She tugged at the hem and saw that the sweater was like a dress on her. Even though Connor was smaller then Kayle, he was still bigger then her.
Fate also noticed that it smelled of Connor. A cinnamony smell mixed with the scent of rain. It was Conno's smell, and it was rather relaxing. Fate looked over at Connor and gave a weak smile. "Thank you," she said and looked at the man for a moment. He wasn't packed, but he had lean muscle and she thought that he looked good. Even if Connor didn't know it, he was attractive. Not that she'd tell him that.
Fate glanced away for a moment, a slight blush creeping over her face. Maybe it was just because she wa still rattled from what had happened. It had sent her emotions into a flurry.

by Saviour Sat Nov 10, 2012 1:59 am

[[ Hahaha that's exactly how I imaged him to smell too lol ]]

Connor was relieved that she didn't find the situation awkward and he sat down on the forest foliage.
It was just the right temperature here, the shade kept it cool but the lack of breeze prevented it from becoming too cold. Connor glanced up when she had the sweater on and almost laughed. It was so big on her it reached the middle of her thighs. He ran a hand through his hair and then leaned back, resting against the dead leaves and warm earth and watching the leaves tremble against the splotches of blue sky managing to peek through the canopy. He stifled a sigh and rested his hands behind his neck.

by Tayssi Sat Nov 10, 2012 2:21 am

Fate noticed Connor had almost laughed and she blinked in surprise before she gave a soft chuckle. "Is it that big on me?" she asked and grinned. She ran a hand through her hair, pulling out bits of bark from the tree. She sat across from Connor and watched him for amoment before she glanced off into the trees. She leaned back, resting her hands on the ground and using them to lean on, she tilted her head back and looked at the sky. "Do you think this is going to happen again?" she inquired as she stared up thorugh the canopy, at the sky.
She hoped not, but she knew that i probably wasn't going to be the last attempt towards her. "I really hope it's not.. It really scared me, you know.." she said nd tailed off for a moment befoe she looked at Connor again, waiting for him to say something.

by Saviour Sat Nov 10, 2012 5:37 pm

Connor grinned at her question and shifted against the bed of leaves.
When she asked him if it would happen again, Connor's stomach rolled. He didn't answer her, knowing she was about to speak again. Over head, two ravens danced in the air and then fled across the sky. He looked over at her and narrowed his eyes slightly before turning back to the sky.
"It won't happen again," he said, his voice quiet and low. "Trust me. If it does, the man will not be near as lucky as the last," he said, pulling his arms back. Connor lifted one of his pale palms so that it face him, then turned it outwards towards the sky. A spark of deep blue magic danced around his wrist then entangled itself around his fingers and hand.

by Tayssi Sat Nov 10, 2012 6:03 pm

Fate watched as he looked back at her and then looked back at the sky. A cold chill ran through her for an instant before he started to speak and she glanced away, looking into the darkness. Something she wanted to vanish into at that moment. When he said it wouldn't happen, Fate relaxd and gave a sft sigh of relief. She believed Connor. She didn't know why, but she did. At his next words, she looked at the dark haired man again and wathed as he lifted his hnd and faced it towards the sky. Something deep blue sparked on his wrist and she straightened,watching as the magic entangled around his hand and fingers.
"How do you do it?" Fate asked, leaning towards him slightly, "magic, I mean. Is it hard?" Fate's dark eyes flicked from his hand, to his face as she studied him for a short moment. Maybe if she was able to use magic, she'd be able to prevent stuff like earlier from happening.

by Saviour Sat Nov 10, 2012 6:18 pm

Connor listened to her and smirked. "For me it isn't," he said coldly, and the magic faded. "I mean, it's basically in my blood."
He turned and looked at her, green eyes searching hers. "It'd be nearly impossible to teach someone who didn't already posses it.." He told her and then knit his brows together. His mind flashed back to the time he tried to reach her mind and failed. Connor sat up and eyed her closely. Did she have magic in her?
"Do you remember when you told everything to be quiet, and it happened?" He asked her, unsure of where he was going with this.

by Tayssi Sat Nov 10, 2012 6:45 pm

Fate raised an eyebrow at his words and watched as the magic vanished. She looked at him as he spoke again and she gave a soft sigh of defeat. So she couldn't learn magic. Well that sucked. Fate watched as his brows knitted togehter and she cocked her head to the side, confused as to what he was thinking about. Then he leaned forward and looked at her and Fate's breath hitched in her throat for a moment at the look in his eyes.
Fate watched Conno and listend as he spoke. She wondered what he could mean by that. She gve a slow nod and glanced away for oment before she said, "Yeah, why? What does that have to do with it?" she asked, unsure of where he was going with this, but her curiousity spiking.
