The King's Castle

Adrian smiled. "Oh, it is, I assure you." He said.

The forest seemed rather quiet at night, very blissful and serene.

Jason sighed as he walked down to the stables to check on Spirit, his horse. He didn't feel too comfortable leaving Spirit on her own.

Elizabeth dismounted, sitting on the forest floor as her horse wandered around a bit, enjoying the few moments of peace.

Dianne ran her fingers through his hair gently, "I believe you."

A wire closed upon her ankle, pulling her head over heels into the dense treetops.

Adrian grinned a bit. "And you're quite beautiful for a human."

Jason sighed. He ran his fingers through Spirit's mane. He felt out of place in castles like this...

Dianne smiled, "Thank you." a light blush came to her cheeks.

Elizabeth gasped, her horse galloping back to the castle in fright. She held her skirts up to cover her, trying to think of a way to get down.

Jason looked up as he heard a frightened horse come up. with skill only an elf could summon he lightly grasped the reigns and calmed the horse down by muttering to it in elvish.

In the tree next to her, two or three skeletons hung there, as if someone had forgotten to get them down. Though, the crunching of leaves as someone stepped closer could be heard....

Adrian smiled. "You are quite welcome." He said, putting an arm around her to draw her closer.

Elizabeth, held her breath a bit, frightened, but the shouted for help. Maybe whoever was walking by could help her down.

Dianne smiled, not speaking, her eyes looking over his body once, then meeting his eyes.

The horse seemed frightened, but eventually calmed down. It was saddled and had a pair of girl's gloves tucked under the saddle.

A raven turned from its perch, looking at Elizabeth hungrily as the footsteps stopped.

Elizabeth called out again, still scared, looking over at the raven, a tear forming in her eye.

((What happened to Adrian?))

((Whops. I even planned something to say.))
Adrian grinned. "You don't have to look me in the eyes; I know there are places your eyes would rather be."

As the tear fell, a pale hand below caught it on the tip of its finger. It brought the tear to its lips, licking the end of it's finger. "Mmm... delicious." It said before cutting the wire that held Elizabeth, dropping her some twenty feet to the ground.

Elizabeth hit the ground on her side, wincing as she heard her arm crack as it hit the ground. She looked up to see who had cut her down.

Dianne chuckled, "That would involve removal of the lower articles of clothing, which I believe is off-limits."

Adrian grinned. "You can look; just don't touch."

A smiling face stared down at her, though it was attractive, it's smile was one of a sadist. "Well, well, well, what do I have here?" He said, looking her over.

"I-I am Elizabeth Ward, lady of the castle at Canterbury... I was out riding... then I was up in the tree... My horse left... I need to get back home..." She said softly, the look in her eyes clearly one of fright.

Dianne pouted lightly, "Where's the fun in that?"

Adrian smiled, shrugging a bit. "It's that or nothing."

The man grinned, slowly drawing a dagger. "I'll take you home, miss Ward... I'll take you home...."

Jason murmured to the horse in it's own language. "take me to where she is" Jason said to the horse, his armor appearing on him. "i will run beside you my sister just lead me there" he said to the animal.

Dianne sighed, "Alright. I'll keep my hands off."

Elizabeth inhaled sharply, her arm hurting terribly.

The horse nodded, trotting around in a circle anxiously, then running into the courtyard, as though to make sure he could keep up.

Jason kept quite an easy pace with the horse. the only reason he rode Spirit was because she was part unicorn, and therefore far faster than any elf.

Adrian smiled and undressed, laying before her.

The man grinned a bit and slit his own palm. Blood fell, and from it's place on thr ground, green fumes rose to Elizabeth's face, blacking her out. The man simply picked her up and left, whisking her away like a ghost, leaving no trail.

Dianne smiled, groaning a bit, "Mmm... I'm very tempted."

The horse led him to the clearing where it had been last with Elizabeth, trotting around nervously. No one was there now.

"I"m sure you are." He mused, grinning.

Dianne smiled, "I don't know if I'll be able to restrain myself much longer."

Elizabeth's body was limp in his arms, passed out cold.

"And what would you do if you couldn't?" He asked.

The man took her back to his lair, dropping her in a small cage.

"Screw you hard." Dianne said bluntly.

Elizabeth woke later, holding her head in her hand. Her whole head ached, not to mention her other arm was broken.
