child of chaos (pony and kolath)

The next morning she awakened she had slept better than she had for a very long time. She sat up and started packing up her supplies,he seemed so perfect like he was all she had ever truly wanted but some how she feared he wasn't hers but some one elses. She awakened him with a soft kiss "lets get moving we must get to the next town I need more supplies" she said softly. She felt something strange with him like she didn't have to be afraid and that concerned her slightly like he might be hiding some thing from her.

He woke slowly as she kissed him his eyelids fluttering open. It was a bit of a surprise to see her kneeling over him as she had just kissed him in a very familiar way. His hand brushed a strand of her hair back smiling even more, “I guess we should be going then huh?” He smiled up at her gently drawing her back down into a kiss again not forcing her but a gentle insistent pull.

She smiled and let him pull her into a kiss again. She slowly got up once their lips had touched. "we really do need to get moving before we get attacked it is dangerous to stay in one spot for too long they hunt me like I am a dog or something." She said softly she got up straightening out her clothes "make ready" she said she started packing up camp the better they worked to get ready the sooner they would be moving. The sooner that happened the better. She had enough supplies left for one meal, but she did have one wineskin left so that could keep her goign for a bit.

He smiled more getting up and moving to start packing up. He doused the fire packing the remaining meat into his bag not even thinking about needing to split it up. He planned to travel with her from here on out no matter what she did to get him to leave, not just because it was his mission but also because he was falling in love with her. he got his stuff together rather quickly and then turned to help her pack up hers as well. His hand gently brushed through her hair as they worked just thinking how good it felt to be close to someone again.

Anona looked him in the eyes for a brief moment "lets go grab the hide we sell it or trade it for supplies" she said softly. She finished packing and already started walking quickly she was not patient at all in fact she hated waiting. She was moving fast already and gaining speed she wanted to get moving yet she sensed he was hiding something from her but she wasn't sure yet but her judgment was clouded by the way he made her feel last night.

Fryan packed up the skin of the beast and started after her staying up to pace with her easily. His bow was thrown over his shoulder his quiver at his side looking very much the same as he had when they had met. “There is a town just a little more than a morning’s journey just beyond those hills.” He pointed out a group of hills to one side knowing this area well seeing as he had grown up near here.

"then that is where we go." she said simply. Soon they were entering the town she looked around she pulled she skin out of his pack and brought ti to a merchant blatantly asking how much she could get with that. She managed to get several weeks worth of jerky, four wine skins, some herbs for cooking, and some cheese as well as a few loafs of bread. All it cost after the skin was a few other trinkets she had found along the way and a couple gold pieces. That was a fairly good deal. She went to the inn to book a room for them to rest in for the night.

He nodded following just a step behind her. the town was much as he remembered it bustiling with activity and drive for a new day. Yet it hadn’t changed even though many people thought it had, still it was the same to him. He excused himself from her as she did her trading and went to do a bit of his own. New arrows and the fletching and heads for even more, as well as some traps to lay out at night so that they could support themselves with what they might catch, either as food or as pelts. He soon joined her in the inn laying his parcels down and smiling at her offering her his arm, “shall we go have a hot meal down stairs Anona?”

"no... you hide something from me...why?" she said softly she looked over at him "that and I am not proper to receive a meal in these places the people seem to sense what I can do and they reject me for it they hate me for it when they do not even know me. I am not welcome in such places I prefer to stay here where it is safe" she said softly she sat on the bed relaxing a small bit. These towns added to her stress she worried and panicked the entire time she was there.

Fryan froze for a moment thinking that his life was about to end. She had figured it out that he was a member of the order that she hated. It took him a moment to realize that she wasn’t sure what it was that he was hiding just was sure it was something. He turned to her sighing and slowly he walked over to her kneeling beside the bed. “I don’t think that you are as unwelcome as you seem to think…most people react the way that we expect them too. There is something in the way we walk or act that makes them react to us that way.” He took her hand, “please come with me to eat down stairs.”

"I do not want to leave my room I feel safe up here I will have the food brought up here for me you go if that is what you want" she said softly she curled up on the bed keeping her back to him She was stubborn and she would not go she wasn't ready for that many people she couldn't stand to be around that much activity it made her uneasy. She didn't like the way it made her feel "I will not go so do not ask me again" she said firmly.

He sighed and went to the door taking the handle. He turned back smiling, “then I will have it sent up for both of us.” He slipped out the door and closed it for the moment blocking out the need to answer that other question that he knew wouldn’t just go away. He hurried down stairs getting their food deciding to stay away as long as he could waiting for the food. He forced his mind to try to think of something to answer her about what he was hiding from her…but it didn’t come.

Anona sat up on the bed when he had left she started sharpening her blade carefully. Takign her time the sound of the blade against the stone made a strange relaxing sound to her it soothed her she slipped out of her boots and breeches while he was gone she also removed the leather vest leaving her in the tunic that stopped just barely above the knees on her this is how she relaxed she wished she could jsut escape from here.

He grabbed the tray of food paying the inn keeper. This was going to be the hard part…how did he face her without answering that question that had been placed between them . he came to their door sighing wishing he had a answer knowing that he had to do something…she would probably kill him the moment that she found out. He sighed again placing a smile on his face and walked in. he saw her sittign in almost nothing as she sharpened her sword and his jaw just about dropped. Quickly composing himself he carried the tray in laying on the nightstand, “Well then here we and it looks…edible at least.”

She looked up blushing when she saw the look on his face when he walked in, "it looks better than the last inn I ate at" she said softly. she eyed him carefully before getting up to put her blade away it was sharpened now. she looked over her shoulder at him she knew he was watching her but she kind of liked it she didn't mind because it was him. "I know this sounds foolish but I can not hide it from you...I'm falling for you" she whispered nervously.

He blinked looking at her a piece of meat hanging just before him mouth. Had she just said what he thought she did? His eyes locked on hers as he just sat there in a bit of shock. After a short moment he placed the food down and stood up reaching out and gently taking her hand pulling her to a stand position in front of him. He looked down into her eyes his hand under her chin, “And I am falling for you too.”

She hesitated for a long moment not looking away from his eyes, she slowly leaned up gently pressing her lips against his, she felt so good inside being this close to him. She had never been able ot be this close to anyone it was so strange to her that he lived when everyone else had died. She moved her free hand up to hold his cheek gently stroking it with her thumb. She was no longer just falling she had actually fallen she loved him but she wasn't ready to admit not now.

He kissed her back holding her close as he also fell deeply in love with the girl in his arms. His hand slipped into her hair gently holding her close his other hand wrapping around her waist. He held her body tight to his as he leaned her back slowly at first then he felt the bed behind her and quickly lowered her to it. Pulling away from the kiss he just hovered there a few inches from his lips kissing her again just looking into her eyes looking for something…permission maybe.

She slowly reached up gently touching the side of his face she hesitated for a long moment then she slowly guided his lips down to hers as eh moved one of his hands to her knee and slowly guided it up her leg lifting the tunic gradually higher on her, she removed her hand from his kissing him deeply and passionately her eyes had fallen closed. She held him close to her loving this closeness she had never known before him. She feared she would regret tonight but she was too happy to want to stop.

He felt her hand guide his to her knee and slowly start moving it up. He kissed her back his hand continuing the slow steady journey up her thigh pushing her tunic up also. His mind was racing as he realized what was happening here. His free hand came up brushing against her cheek as he continued kissing her deepening the passion between them. He had lost himself to her entirely to her touch and the feel of her skin as his hand continued up her soft thigh.

She relaxed breathing more heavily as she laid back all the way once more holding him close she slid his shirt up on his chest feeiling the warm flesh against her hands. She broke the kiss to pull off his shirt tossing it aside she kissed his chest softly. She had never had some one this close before it felt so strange to her "I love you" she whispered. She ran her hands up and down his chest kissing his lips once more.

His hand had reached her hip and his other one moved down to start pulling the tunic off his hands still brushing up her sides. He felt her warm hands on his chest that was shaped with long lean muscle. His fingers brushed lightly across the undersides of her breasts. Suddenly he was snapped out of his lust fogged mind and back to the cold hard reality of what they were leading up to…and who he was. He leaned back looking into her eyes, “Anona…I need to tell you something…”

Anona looked up at him "then tell me" she whispered she looked concerned and afraid she wasn't sure what to expect from him at this point. She didn't try to turn him on further she felt that would have been disrespectful to him. She moved in a bit close to him resting her head on his chest lightly "tell me what is on your mind my lover."

He stood up stepping back from her a little giving her room to react to what he was going to say. He knew that this was going to be enough of a threat without him bending over her almost pinning her down. “Anona…I am a member of the Order.” He just said it standing there looking at her waiting for a reaction…her to strike out anything other then silence.

"do you now see they are not all good at all? and do you truly love me?" she asked softly as she got up moving closer to him she soon stood right infront of him looking him directly in the eyes she was furious he ahd lied to her but she would go with what had been about to happen. Thus she would leave while he slept.
