To Dispel the Demon

[Ricia]

"Ooh makes me want to ride more." Vin said with a grin. The sound of hoof beats off in the distance made Foster freeze. They sounded like they were passing by the road not to far off.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Bek looked towards the road though he couldn't see it as the trees now blocked it from veiw.

 

[Ricia]

There was a long pause before it was gone. "That was beyond close..." Foster said with a long sigh. "We need to stay off the road."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yes lord Foster," Beck said softly.

 

[Ricia]

"We should make camp." Foster said before leading them further away from the road. When he dismounted the horse, he pulled a tent off the things before opening it. Then, he stared at it for a moment.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck dismounted falling off the horse in the process. "I'll... I'll set up my lord," Foster probably never set up a tent before

 

[Ricia]

"Do you even know how?" Foster asked Beck. Vin was not sitting on one of the horses with a grin.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yes sir," Bck said getting the tent materials "I have lived outside before my lord Foster," Beck began to conect the support befor pulling it through the tarm he did know what he was doing to an extent he could make a tent and a fire and even cook a bit but his foraging was not good at all and his hunting was abysmal.

 

[Ricia]

"Huh... I thought you were a slave your whole life." Vin said, sounding disappointing.


"Where did you learn this?" Foster asked watching him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I've had a cruel master who would throw us outside... see if we could live with just a tent and go outside to beat us each day. To make... it harder," Beck said softly.

 

[Ricia]

"I see." Foster said and crossed his arms, though he watched Beck to make sure he could do it.


"I wounder, did you hate him?" Vin asked with a laugh.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck got the tent up he was not to happy with recalling the memory "Lord Foster I'll take first watch so you can rest... or I'll watch the hole night," he offered sitting back on his heels.

 

[Ricia]

"You can't take the whole night... but i'll take you up on the first half." Foster said with a nod.


Vin hummed a bit still sitting on the horse. Though he was obviously making it nervous.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yes my lord Foster, you are kind," he could have forced him to stay awake the full night had he wanted. Beck looked at Vin "you're scaring the horse he muttered.

 

[Ricia]

Vin stuck his tongue out of Beck before poofing. Foster however nodded before retreating into the tent to go lay down.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck sat watching and listening he was a bit scared he really couldn't see himself fighting a wild animal and winning. Nor could he see Foster doing it.

 

[Ricia]

Vincent suddenly appeared about an hour later, hugging Beck from behind, pulling to boy onto his lap. Vin's face pressed into the back of Beck's head and his fingers caught a few strands of his hair, "You never answer my question lil'Beck."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck almost screamed out of fear when Vin suprised him pulling him onto his lap and he even felt the demon's hand in his hair. Beck had to steady his breath "vincent..." he breathed out. He was being held and he didn't much care for it.

 

[Ricia]

"Hmm? I want an answer." Vin said with a chuckle, his fingers twisted in Beck's hair.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Sorry... what was the question," Becks voice shuddered in light fear and how uncomfortable he was, Vin's hand ran through his short brown hair easily Beck did take good care of himself.

 

[Ricia]

"Hmm, did you hate him?" Vin asked Beck quietly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Who? my old master?" Beck asked Vins breath running over his skin "no... but I didn't like him either." Beck shuddered a bit.

 

[Ricia]

Vin shook his head, he could feel him chuckle lightly, "Oh but you still hate me... I've not laid a harsh hand on you ever."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I knew what to expect from my masters," Beck said Vin's hair tickling him when he shook his head. "Vincent... do you eat souls?" Beck asked swallowing his fear for a moment

 

[Ricia]

Vincent laughed, "Yes. I don't eat them necessarily. In fact... demons don't eat souls. But I do take them from people who make contracts with me to give them up." He said with a smirk. "They make me stronger."
