Lore:(Mature)To fetch some clothes...

This is the forest that covers most of Ighten in dense and thick trees. It is the oldest forest in Heirot, since most of the Forests in Arken have been destroyed. It is well known as a haunted forest where ghosts and demons reside. In the forest are many villages. The villagers will tell you tales of trees that eat people, gaint spiders, and dragon lairs.

Tenele looked at Vlad surprised. She then wondered why she hadn't heard the man sneak up on her. She wouldn't point out that weakness to Vlad. He was a bit too cocky at the moment. "Okay hero... Let's go walk to our death. I mean... go kill Claw." She smirked at Vlad, trying to tie a torn peice of cloth around her wrists to protect them from getting rubbed up against anything.

Tenele truely had no desire to go back to Claws... the place where Sekushi had attacked and almost raped her.

Vlad wasn't exactly the king of sensitivity, but he could perceive some reluctance thanks to Tenele's choice of words. "I'm perfectly capable of doing this alone. Why don't you stay in a room at a different inn and I'll go? We'll just bill Queenie for the board," he sneered, waving the chair in a small circle to drive home his words as if it weighed no more than a plastic baton.

She growled, since it was very hard to tie the string of fabric around her wrist with one hand. She didn't want Vlad to go alone. But, she didn't want to admit the fact she was afraid to go back to that place. She didn't want to "feel" Sekushi's hands on her. She didn't want to be weak in Vlad's eyes.

"Well, you'll kill people faster without me... I'll go to another inn." She growled and tossed the fabric across the room. "Screw it..." She couldn't look at Vlad, for some reason. She felt her cheeks flush crimson as the image of his nude body fighting flashed before her eyes.

"Just as long as you come back alive, okay?"

Vlad stepped toward her, taking one of her hands and raising it to his lips. He licked her wounded wrist lightly, warmly, and met her eyes. "I will," he said, releasing her hand and turning to go out the door. "A different inn, understood? This place is no longer secure," he called over his shoulder with a casual wave before disappearing from under the doorframe.

Tenele looked at him and smirked. "Yeah, a different inn..." She watched him disappear and went to steal the cloak from the man lying crumpled on the floor. She wrapped it around herself, securing her sword to her hip. She pulled the hood over her head and sighed as she looked towards the window.

"This is going to be fun..."

A few moments later she was heading out the door, trying to seem as if she wasn't up to anything, but it was hard. They would know to look for a woman, but would they be looking for her and Vlad?

She looked around, keeping her hair and body covered. She turned into the nearest inn she could come too.

Two hours later, Vlad walked in to the third inn he'd tried. His clothes were frayed and soaked with blood; much of it his, more of it not. He walked to the startled inkeep calmly. "My dear inkeep," he smiled innocently, which weirded out the inkeep more, "Did a young woman check in here a couple hours ago?"

The inkeep looked him over skeptically. "I'm not sure that's any way to present yourself to a lady, not that I'm saying she's here," he said protectively. The girl had said to watch for a man with red eyes and a scary grin, but he could hardly believe that lovely young thing meant this.

Tenele was curled up on a single bed, the onle bed in the room. She didn't need anything else. She didn't mean to fall a sleep but she was so worn out.... and so hungry. It had been a week since she had had any decent food.

She looked peacefully beautiful curled up sleeping. But, still she looked brutalized with the black bruise on the side of her head, a light one that had formed on her cheek in the night, a cut lip... and chaffed wrists. Still there wasn't anything stopping her from being beautiful.

"I can't tell you if she's here or not, its against our privacy policy...." the innkeeper said, folding his broad arms.

"Is this against your privacy policy as well?" Vlad smirked, reaching for his belt and dropping his pants. The innkeeper's jaw fell wide in astonishment, as did those of the patrons who were sitting and talking in the room.

"Wh...what the heck are you doing?" He stammered.

"I was paid for my services in advance. If you won't direct me to my customer, I'll just perform them here," Vlad drolled as he ran one of his hands over his smooth chest and released a button on his shirt.

"Not here! For god's sake," the man gasped, grabbing Vlad by the sleeve and pulling him aside. "She's in room 301. Just go," he hissed, bowing apologetically to his customers. Helf of them didn't appear pleased that Vlad was leaving. Vlad just smirked and buckled his pants as he strolled up the stairs to Tenele's room. When he reached it, he knocked on the door confidently.

Tenele shot up quickly at the sudden noise. She ran a hand through her smooth silver hair and brushed it out of her face. With a sigh she walked towards the door and opened it up, putting her foot at the bottom to make it hard for someone ot shove open if it was an unexpected guest. She flashed her green eyes up at Vlad's form and opened the door the whole way.

"I fell a sleep," she said softly. Her face looked as if she had been a sleep, though she was starting to become more awake.

"Is everything... taken care of?" Guessing by the blood on him, she thought so.

"Indeed it is, Maiden Girl," Vlad said haughtily. He was well fed and riding high on the fruits of his revenge, which made him quite the opposite of Tenele's lethargic mood. "I believe Queenie will consider this mission complete." He walked in past her and began fiddling with a fake flower arrangement that was sitting on the desk without really paying attention to it.

"I think we need a vacation," she smirked and closed the door behind her, locking it. She glanced at Vlad. "We've worked hard the past month... We deserve one... Don't you think?"

Tenele smiled, though her left cheek was a bit uncomfortable in the process.

"Agreed," Vlad said cunningly, turning toward her and cupping her chin in his hand as though he were holding a wine glass. "And what manner of recreation would most suit your tastes?"

A thought suddenly appeared in her mind. Actually it was a memory... When Vlad had been kissing his way down her body. She flushed and bit her bottom lip as she glanced away. Her shoulders shrugged and she glanced back at Vlad, her lips forming into a sly grin.

"I don't know... Anything that doesn't involve fighting?"

Vlad didn't miss the look she gave him before she glanced away. "Hoh? You don't look like you don't know," he teased seductively. "I'm a free man now, you know. To take possession of my body, you must earn it." He chuckled to himself at the thought, low and smooth.

Tenele glanced up at him with her green eyes. "Oh?" she asked softly. She stood on her tip toes and pressed her lips to his softly, but then the kiss became passionate.

"Haven't I earned it yet?" her voice was low, soft... Her eyes held a soft of seductive mischieve to them. She glanced over his face, then back at his eyes. He was intoxicating.

"But, if I haven't, what is there left for me to do?"
