The King's Castle

Dianne returned the kiss, smiling beneath it.

((And that is..?))

Adrian kissed her back, sliding one of his hands... under the covers.

((She needs a way to survive? She had intrest in his zombie, have her volunteer to be his apprentice. Or he could suggest it.))

((Not sure if that would work... Elizabeth was sort of... I guess entranced is the word. She's scared to death of him and the zombies both. At this point, I was debating between Jason saving her and getting her out while she's still frightened of him, or Jason finding her and she's sort of grown almost attached to him.))
Elizabeth woke with a start at the sound of the screaming. backing against the back of the cage.

Dianne smiled more, giving a light groan of pleasure.

((I prefer the latter, of course, but whatever you prefer.))
"Oh, your up?" He asked, accidently dropping the man's heart.

Adrian smiled and kissed her cheek. "What time is it?" He asked.

"I'm guessing around eleven." Dianne said, "Would you like to come inside?"

Elizabeth was pushed against the back of the cage, her eyes looking up at his in an expression of pleading.

"In the morning, or night?" He asked.

Lucian smiled. "Yes...?" He asked.

"Night." Dianne guessed, seeing as it was dark out.

Elizabeth didn't speak, clutching her arm to her chest in fright.

He smiled. "Then, yes, I'd love to."

Lucian smiled, walking over towards her. "Do I frighten you?"

Dianne smiled, standing and walking him to the manor.

Elizabeth thought, "No. Not you. I'm frightened of what you are going to do."

Adrian smiled, walking in with his arm around her.

Lucian grinned. "Good answer. I like you."

Dianne opened the door, curious as to why she didn't see Elizabeth. She was usually awake around this time.

Elizabeth wasn't sure how to respond keeping her eyes locked on his.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

Lucian smiled a bit. "Entrancing, isn't it?"

"Elizabeth isn't here..." she said softly.

Elizabeth swallowed, "What are you going to do?"

Jason chuckled. "i'm not lost. just a bit time consuming to ask the trees for directions. if you would help me save an innocent life it would go much faster. I don't know what grudge you hold against humans but it can't possibly be worse than what that necromancer is doing to Elizabeth." he sad.

Elanor laughed, "Can't be worse? My entire village, family, friends... I was tricked into leaving them long enough for a whole bunch of those humans to kill, rape, torture, and slaughter them. Trust me; it can be worse."

"kill, rape, torture... don't you think that is exactly what he will do to her?" he asked glaring at elanor. "some humans are bad, yes, but not all, just as not all elves are good" he said.

Lucian srugged. "You already know that. Though, I think I've decided on a banshee. I'll give you a nice and pretty singing voice in your afterlife."

Adrian pursed his lips. "Then where is she?"

"And you are sure she's one of the good ones?" Elanor asked skeptically.

"Why?" Elizabeth asked, a little bolder, "Why do you want to change me?"

Dianne looked around, walking from one room to the next, trying to find her sister, "I-I don't know..."

"she put up a total stranger in her home without asking any questions or even asking for payment." he said simply as he kept walking. "she never did anything to harm me so yeah i'm sure" he said. "are you comming or what?" he asked looking back at her.

He shrugged a bit. "Research, company. I suppose I could keep you as-is, though as-is gets rather boring after a while."

Elizabeth swallowed, "So, that's it? I'm just a lab rat to you?"

((Where's Adrian?))

Elanor sighed, "Alright, so I know where he is, but you better not make me regret this."

((Sorry))
Adrian looked around. "She must be somewhere...."

Lucian shrugged. "Would you rather be something else?"

"the only reason you'd regret it would be if i regret it too so no worries there" he said stopping. "if you'd please lead the way" he said makking room for her on the path.

((You're fine.))
Dianne nodded, "She sometimes goes riding when she can't sleep." she said as she walked into the barn. Elizabeth's horse was there, trotting nervously in a circle with the saddle on and Elizabeth's gloves on the saddle.

Elizabeth thought, "I would rather be me. I was happy being who I was."

Elanor chuckled, "You're going the wrong direction. Not to mention you can't keep to the path if you want to find Lucian." she walked into the fores, "Come along."

"can i be blamed if the trees can't give good directinos?" he asked rolling his eyes as he followed her.
