Hunt or be Hunted (DergTheDragon x Myla)

[DergTheDergon]

Hector sighs deeply. "...Alright, It looks as though I cannot convince you that she means no harm. I understand. We will leave you be for now, we need to discuss some things." He begins to leave, then turns back around and says "I apologize for intruding, but know that neither of us mean ill will," he says, emphasizing the words 'Neither of us.' "Thank you for your hospitality." He nods towards Sina and points towards the door to Signal her to begin leaving first while giving her an apoligetic look, then follows after her.

 

[Myla]

Sina nods leaving first and whispers to Hector, "What are we going to do?" The creature glares at them and as Sina looks back it opens the secret door. She pokes Hector and nods toward the door whispering, "Should we follow him?" The creature disappears through the door getting out of sight.

 

[DergTheDergon]

Hector looks down in thought. "I did just say we'd leave him alone for now... and if we follow him he may see it as a reason to hurt you. I don't know if our curiosity about that door is worth the risk... but if you feel like we should, I really want to know what's in there."

 

[Myla]

Sina nods frowning, "But he won't hurt you since you're an angel, so you could follow him... Although, I don't know if that's a good idea. If you follow him, I'll stay out here and wait for you, but you'll need to be careful since I don't trust him."

 

[DergTheDergon]

Hector looks down deep in thought. After a while he sighs. "No. I'm not leaving you alone. What if there are others? Besides, if I stick with you and refuse his hospitality he might eventually realize I will not be unfair to you simply because he wishes it. There's more of this place to explore, so Perhaps we can find a place for us both to sleep."

 

[Myla]

Sina nods being relieved in a way, "Alright, then lets go find a safe place to sleep." She starts walking and scrutches at her nose at a mixture of her head hurting from head butting the creature and her back feeling sore from being thrown in the floor.

 

[DergTheDergon]

After a while of wandering, the two come upon another unlocked building, much smaller than the last. It looked to be a house, maybe of what this society considered middle class. Hector slowly opened the door and cautiously glanced around. it was similarly trashed like the library, but there was no broken glass or anything else dangerous around. It seemed to have a fireplace with a cauldron for cooking, various shelves and storage, mostly broken and not very useful, a small table, and two beds. One of the beds seemed to be a double bed, the other seems to have been made for one person. besies that there wasn;t much else in this rather small building. Hector turns towards Sina. "hmm, this might do nicely for now. What do you think?"

 

[Myla]

Sina nods, "I think so too. At least time we get beds instead of the ground." She smiles and looks around the place. As she takes in the trashed room she wonders, "I really do wonder what my kind did in here or what were they looking for. It has to be worth something to tear up multiple places unless they were going on a raid or going to war. Although, if they did go into war they would've sent a signal and I would've known.."

 

[DergTheDergon]

Hector sighs and sits down on the smaller bed. "Odd... In that case, I couldn't begin to guess they did this... although, it could have happened far before you were summoned. I do wonder how old that creature is.... he could be centuries or more. he looks elvish, but... I've never seen one like him." Hector laid down and closed his eyes. "You must be as exhausted as i am... i suggest getting some rest yourself."

 

[Myla]

Sina frowns, "Well the creature said they did the attack, so if they did the demons created a lot of trouble.. I just hope they didn't cause them to go extinct.." She sighs running her hand through her hair before sitting on the bed. "And I agree that he looks old and evil-sh. Although, I only seen one of those in a picture."

 

[DergTheDergon]

"Yes, one can hope they did not wipe his race out, but... it would seem that is very likely the case." Hector paused for a moment, then his eyes widened, as he came to a realization. "I know he's probably going to watch us now that he knows we're here, and won't take kindly to us snooping around, but... there must be something of great value here if you kind did indeed attack this place. It just... doesn;t seem right to steal from that poor creature, if he is indeed guarding something." Hector frowns. "I honestly don't know what to do.... if we stay, we'll run out of supplies soon, but there is the possibility of finding something very worthwhile here. If we go, we'll no longer be at odds with that creature and any others that might still be here, but... were else could we go? It seems like we may have to try and move on from this forest entirely quite soon."

 

[Myla]

Sina stands up against pacing back and forth, "He may attack us, if he is watching us." She looks around, "It must be something of great value or maybe something of grave danger to my kind.." She looks at him, "We need to go find some more supplies soon and if only we had a map to see where we could go.."

 

[DergTheDergon]

"Hmm... yes, quite a few dilemmas. We could go looking for another exit at least, or if all else fails go back the way we came to gather supplies. But it's looking more and more like we shouldn't stay here... but for know, i'm, far too exhausted to do much more... that swim took a lot out of me.speaking of which, it looks like headbutting the creture hurt, as well as being thrown to the ground." Hector looked at her concernedly, "I know you're anxious but I think it'd be best if you at least tried to relax for a while."

 

[Myla]

Sina nods, "We'll just talk about it tomorrow then." She looks at the doors and windows, "Should we lock those? Because I don't trust the creature to not come and to not kill me.." She frowns sitting on the bed trying to calm down from her anxiety.

 

[DergTheDergon]

Hector gets up and nods, and immediately begins to lock them all. "I don't trust him either... even if he has good reason to mistrust your kind, he has no right to simply attack one on sight... no one does. Demons are just as diverse as all the other races.. You're a good person, Sina..." Hector walks up to her, and looks her in the eyes with determination as he gently takes her hand. "I won't let him come near you. I promise..."

 

[Myla]

Sina bites her lip and nods, "But if some how does manage to, don't blame yourself, please?" Sina frowns at the creature going near here, but she knows to fight back if needed. She keeps her hand in hi, "What if he does? Then what?" Sina looks up at him worried.

 

[DergTheDergon]

Hector does not falter in his determined expression, looking her straight in the eyes.. "Then I'll fight him with everything I have, and so will you I trust. he won't harm you so long as I live and breathe."

 

[Myla]

Sina nods and hugs him, "Thank you and of course I will fight back." She smiles playfully hiding her worryiness and looks up at Hector, "I wouldn't be me if I didn't and we should get some sleep now."

 

[DergTheDergon]

Hector nods and smiles slightly. "Of course, that wouldn't be like you at all, would it?" Hector hugs her back. "We should indeed get some sleep... But first, let me try and clam your nerves a little." Hector closes his eyes and begins leaning in for a kiss.

 

[Myla]

Sina smiles, "Yes please do calm them." Sina closes her eyes as well and meets his lips with hers as she blushes enjoying the feeling of his lips against hers.

 

[DergTheDergon]

Hector enjoys the kiss immensely, time seeming to low down as he experiences this moment with his entire being. As he separates his lips from Sina's, he smiles warmly towards her, still in a slight haze of passion. "Goodnight, Sina. Sleep well." With that he returns to his own bed and lays down.

 

[Myla]

Sina smile blushing and looks at him being a bit dazed, "Goodnight and you too." She goes towards her bed and lays down on it under the covers. She quite enjoyed the kiss and knows for sure that she likes him.. a lot.

 

[DergTheDergon]

Hector lays in bed deep in thought for a while, staring at the ceiling. It's rather surreal when I think over all that has happened in the last couple of days... I thought I would have had to spend many years of my life on my own, running from the wolves.... but here I am sleeping beside a woman I have very quickly developed fond feelings towards, in the ruins of a long-lost underground city, safe from the wolves for now.


It's odd how fate works... on top all of of this, the woman I love is a demon... my father would kill me the second he saw me if he knew... but he isn't my family anymore. Not as far as I'm concerned. Come morning, I must focus on the present: how Sina and I are going to survive, where we're going to go. The past is the past...


His thoughts than fade into nothingness as he finally succumbs to sleep.

 

[Myla]

Sina stays awake for a while, Things have changed completely, but I think that's a good thing. She looks at Hector before falling asleep. After a while she tosses and turn not able to sleep well. After the 4th time of waking up she stays awake, but stays tired. She counts sheep, focuses on one thing, humming in her head, but can't manage to fall asleep. After a while, she gets up and goes to Hector. She blushes being sleepy and wakes up Hector unsure and feels bad for waking him up. She lightly taps his shoulder and wakes him up. Sina mumbles with tire eye and talks with sleepy words, "Hector... Um... Can I-I sleep with y-yyou? I can't sleep." She frowns sleepily.

 

[DergTheDergon]

Hector's eyelids flutter open, and He sleepily looks up at Sina, only barely able to make out her groggy mumbling. His eyes widen in surprise for a moment, before he smiles slightly sheepishly and nods in understanding. He then gets up, moves to the other side of the bed and lays down, gesturing for sina to lay down on the other side. He couldn't think of what to say in this situation. He was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Sina just asked to sleep with him, with a sleep-fogged mind, and so he remained silent.
