Re: Deadly Secrets. (Sviour)

I sigh softly as I slip into my bed. Warm fluffy blankets hugging my small frame and warming my chilled body. I shiver slightly and turn on my side to face the wall. Which had a series of random doodles. Done with the blade of a pocket knife. I always kept the steel dagger beside my bed just in case I ever needed it. I never have, but I assumed better safe than sorry. I reach over and take the wood case in my hand, flicking the blade out and letting my eyes climb over it's slim, dangerous beauty. The simple, cheap knife was something I had grown to love, but I was the only one who knew of it. I reach my hand out and touch the end of the steel to the wall, bringing it down and adding pressure to carve out the sign of a question mark. Suiting my mind at the time. All of the marks brought some sort of memory to mind. Whether happy or sad. Pride or embarressment. I figured the man wasn't coming by, but didn't really care. I mean, we are complete strangers and all he wanted was to make sure I got home safe. Suddenly the incident with my blood flashed through my mind like the light of a camera. I roll onto my back, playing with the knife and ignoring the possibilities of an accident. The memory dancing through my brain. I push the blade against my wrist lightly, causing only a bit of pain and a scarlet ribbon to rise. I watch the blood intently, not really feeling anything.

Walking down the street I think about what I was doing here. There was no reason to stay the girl was already becoming a distraction. I started to move at a faster pace in the dark wondering what was next for me to do. I thought about seeing her agian but then she could get hurt. I had a strange feeling she already was. I had moved from town to twon lying low and doing pretty much nothing. It was not much of a life but I enjoyed my freedom. I was really on the run, not wanting to let my secret out others would likly panic. In most ways my friends had gone sepret ways being tracked down one by one. But by who? Another of our kind could it have been? I did not relize I was on the street where Victoria lived. Stoping to stand in the light drizzle I look up at the gray sky. They would eventuly find me, one day they would cetch up beacuse I will some time sooner or later let my guard down. It could be sooner than I thought the girl was still clouding my mind. I had a feeling she was going through a hard time, lost at trying to get use to the life she had. I had a choice to do something with my own life once but I took a wrong turn. Walking once agian I thought about it, should I stop by her home and see her? It was almost time for her to sleep and it would be to late in the night to come nocking on her front door. Stoping I turn to face the front of a large house, her house. I bit my bottum lip. Before stopping myself I walk up the front stone steps and pause before nocking strongly on the thick wooden doors-

My mother's voice at the door made me jump violently. The knife falling silently onto the thick quilt on my stomach. I place my wrist to my mouth and suck on the foul tasting wound before it clotted and stopped bleeding. "Y-yes mother?" I say, obviously trying to hide the situation and failing. I take the knife and fold it back. Not having time to clean it and stick it into the box hidden in my bed's closet. I slip out of bed. Pulling my satin robe closer around my body to hide my underwear and pull it's sleave over my hand diligently. I slip the lock from the handle and open the door a crack. Her face was red with fury but she -surpriseingly- held her cool. "There is a man at the door" She spits the word and pauses, taking a breath before continuing. "He is here for you" My eyes flash slightly in the dim light. Surprise striking my small frame. "Oh um.. alright" I say and step into the hallway. A small draft pulling at my robe. I clench my hands into fists to pull the fabric closer and tie the rope. My mother left without a word back to her and father's room. I let a small sigh escape before stepping lightly and silently down the stairs. Much different from the way I had climbed them, and stand infront of the door. I noticed it was still raining. "Hey, um, would you like to come inside?" I say awkwardly. Instincually folding my arms to hide the wound even further, like I did to my father when I had hurt myself in the garden.

[Man O' War Lover]

I saw her comming toured the door and opened it slightly. "I don't want to be much a bother." I said looking at her. She was wearing a robe, I look down at her hands balled into fists. I fell back a step knowing something was wrong. I could see the edge of the scarlet cut but tried not to noctice. For a moment I wondered why she was always getting cuts. I just needed to get my coat and leave that was all I had to do. "I came to- I paused for a moment looking into the house wondering if I should come in? Looking back at her I finally said "See if you where okay." I finished. Her mother seemed almost shocked when I came...and angry. The cent of blood was just enough to put me on edge. At the moment I wished I could take my words back. "But know I see your fine, I also came back beacuse I left my coat." I said a little angry at myself but in a polite tone. I did not need to stay longer than I already had but it could be safe couldn't it? Just to visit for a bit with her then be on my way and leave town for good. I fumbled with the hat in my hands trying to decided. "I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble to, I mean I hope I didn't make your parents angry with you beacuse of my being here." I said. I kept glancing inside and then at her wrist then at her face getting a little anoyyed who the cut mocked me. I gave her a small smile though and walked up the steps to stand infront of her and be at eye leval. "But if you want me to come in I can." I said-

I chew my lip slightly at his uneasiness. Then nod. "Um... Yea well you can come in if you wish while I get your coat..." I say, pausing, before turning and bouncing up the stairs. I push my door open just enough for my small form to slip through. I take his jacket in my hand and notice the cut was still bleeding slightly. Cursing just low enough to keep it to myself, I reach over and grab a tissue from the box. Dabbing at the cut until it slowed once more and then wrapping a cloth around it. Figuring he had already seen it and I could easily hide it from my parents. I take the jacket in my hand once more and lay it neatly over my other arm. Slipping through the door again and down the stairs. "Sorry I forgot to give it back..." I murmur as I hold the coat out to him.

[Man O' War Lover]

While she is bounding up the stairs I look about the room, it was a hadsome house. But it was her home and she seemed rather unhappy to me for some reason. She probably would have been in a better mood if it not had been for her parents which I still though was the very reason for her unhappyness. When she came back down with my coat and apolagized I took it and gave her small smile and a metle shrug "It's fine no problem, I should have said something." In a way I was glade I hadn't, I had a exsquze to come and see her. I drapped the coat over my right arm and said "So is both of your parents home?" I asked looking at her wrist that was now wraped in a hancerchife. I paused and spoke before she could awnser "Sorry to ask but what happend to your hand?" I knew it was probably rude and none of my buissness but I was curios. the blood was not as anoyying to me as any more not that it was a bad thing but it bothered me. I asked "Does it hurt?"

[Saviour]

[ Stupid freaking thing edidn't send god dangit -__- I will reply in a little bit. Sorta thrown off in anger right now. Even though it wasn't anything special. ]

[Man O' War Lover]

I shake my head quickly at his words "Umm no, and I uh, cut it on my dresser" I flash a smile that showed my hiding something but hoped he hadn't noticed. I pull the wrist along with the other one behind my back and look to the ground. Then back at him. "So... you don't have to stay if you don't want to, you seem like you were doing something" I say nearly questioningly but holding it as a statement.

[Man O' War Lover]

I give her a smile "I was just coming by actuly." I said. I knew she hadn't cut her hand on a dresser, didn't sound posible. I felt a little more at eas even with the cut still bleeding. I smiled "No it's fine I can stay if you want me to." I said.

(sorry so short brain dead, the gorage floor got painted with some weird smelling stuff! )

[Saviour]

[ Ahhhhhh It's eating your brain! =P =) ]

Victoria

I return his confident smile with the glowing of mine. This time one that wasn't faked. "Alright, would you like tea? We have coffee too if you'd rather have that..." I say, stepping on silent feet into the tiled kitchen and pulling the perculator from the stove's top. Frowning slightly before dumping it out and rinsing it. "Sorry... We only have tea" I say with a slight chuckle and motion for him to take a seat if he'd like.

[Man O' War Lover]

(sorry I posted a reply but it did not show up for some reason I think I went to treply to another topic to quickly before it could load)

I return her smile and follow her into the kitchen. As she stands by the stove and asks me if I want anything I say "Tea is fine thank you." I said. I sat down in a near by chair and say "I drink tea more than coffee for some reason though." I smiled a little as she relizes there is no coffee. I did not know if she wanted help or not but as I speak I watch her for a moment. "So how long have you lived here? I just came into town the day before we met." I said

[Saviour]

Victoria

The tea kettle slipped from my hands into the sink at his words. But I quickly grab it and fill it with water. "My whole life. And that's lovely, do you like it here?" I ask. Masking the annoyance in my voice. To be frank, I hated it here. Same people, same routine. Same everything. It was as if no one believed in twists or happy endings. I turn around and sit down in the chair across from his. Locking our gazes before looking to the stairs to find my father watching. With a glare, he turned around and stormed back up the stairs.

[Man O' War Lover]

I jumped slightly when the kettle fell but she caught it quickly. "You alright?" I ask as she sites down. She sounded rather anoyyed with my question but I had a feeling it was not me. I could see her father watching from the corner of my eye. As he retrets back up the stairs after she gave him a look that would make your toes curl I give her a small smile. "Um I like it here just fine, In fact I thought about getting a job." I said. I moved around to much to keep one for a long time though. And I did not stay in one place long enough to be aqanted with others and be close to them.

[Saviour]

I nod "Oh" I say softly and lean back in my chair. Looking back as the water begins to boil. I stand up and add the tea bags, holding back a yawn..

[ Sorry fail ]

[Man O' War Lover]

I smile and say "Yes I like to travel." I watch as she finished the tea but say nothing more. For a moment I sat in silence. Thinking I ask "So are you happy here?" I didn't know if it was the right question but it seemed she was rather sad here.

(it's okay)

[Saviour]

I shrug at his words and pour two cups full. Twisting around and handing him his as I sat down. "Not really" I admit, before taking a sip of the hot, bitter yet sweet liquid. Resting my eyes lightly in the warm steam before opening them and looking at him.

[Man O' War Lover]

Taking the cup she hands me I said "Well I guess this town does not have as much color as I thought." I pause not knowing why I say it but I do "Do you think your parents would let you spend a day, having fun?" I asked. "I mean it's not hard to find something you like to do and enjoy every day." I said quietly "I like drawing." I said with a small shrug. "I'm sure you could find something to."

[Saviour]

Victoria

I shrug softly, resting my eyes. Colors swirled playfully in my mind. "I enjoy painting. I am not half bad, but my father said it wasn't much of a hobby. He told me to stop, and took my supplies away" I end the words with a light sigh before opening my eyes. "What do you like drawing?"

[Man O' War Lover]

"Anything really. Landscaps and animals." I said "I'm sorry he did that though, you know I have art suplies with me It may not be paints but I do have the main utincles for drawing that you could barrow." I said.

[Saviour]

Victoria

"Oh" I say and listen to his smooth voice round over words. Nodding softly "Thanks, but I don't know how you would have the time. You seem sorta busy..." I say, nipping my lip slightly before taking another sip of the tea. It's unique taste coating my mouth.

[Man O' War Lover]

(Gosh been a while, I'm going to reply though and see what happens)

I smile sipping at the tea but I didn't let it slid down my throat for a while. After taking a moment to pause I force it down with a swallow and place the cup on the table top. "I'm sure I can find the time to drop it by for you, when your ready." I offered. My mind was going to sock for a moment as I stare at her. Blinking I softly apologize and go back to forcing small sips of warmth down my throat at a slow pace. Looking at her I try to focus o the scent of tea and the smell of flowers dominating the air.

[Saviour]

Victoria

I smile "That would be nice" I say softly, small hands cradling the warm mug of tea. I reach to the center of the table and grab the honey. The thick, golden syrup drizzled slowly into the steaming beverage. I then stir my drink with a spoon and take another drink. Setting the silver utensil on the table top. I look back at his unique features "So, do you have a home town, or do you travel often?" I questioned, my voice barely above a whisper to avoid the attention of my nosy parents.

[ Yea it has =P ]
