Re: Unexpected Guest [Closed]
The tremor in his voice was a nice touch but Lanae wasn't fooled. His pulse might have quickened but he didn't smell like fear; he smelled like adrenaline, like hot blood, and hungry steel. She could have laughed. In fact, she did. "Will you?" she asked, the notes of her dark laughter slow...

Re: Unexpected Guest [Closed]
Lanae did not know if she was surprised to hear him speak or not. Clearly he had been aware of her presence from the beginning and may have even braced for an imminent strike. When none was forthcoming, perhaps he sought to draw her out with talk, assuming she was a sentient creature with intelligen...

Re: Sleepwalker [Open]
"We are," Lanae agreed flatly. Without looking up she continued, adding, "In one hundred years, you will be dead." The rest Katarya had to say didn't garner a reply nor much of a reaction. Lanae deigned to take her foot off of Karl, replacing it on the wagon floor, and she moved...

Re: Sleepwalker [Open]
Lanae didn't seem bothered by Katarya's hand on her cheek, making no effort either to move away or shake it off. The smooth skin underneath it was faintly pink with the flush of fresh blood and cool to the touch rather than deathly cold if she was inclined to notice. If one did not scrutinize her as...

Re: Unexpected Guest [Closed]
The lad's prone position and his stillness might have fooled someone else into assuming he was unaware if not entirely asleep, but his heartbeat betrayed him. Lanae could hear the steady rhythm beating against the cage of his ribs from across the small clearing, not frightened but not at all restful...

Re: Sleepwalker [Open]
Whether or not Katarya was really a witch had never really been in much doubt. If there had been any, it was dispelled the moment her blood touched Lanae's tongue. Just as it was won't to do, magic permeated the fabric of her being, soaking her blood and leaving its indelible mark upon her. The fir...

Re: Sleepwalker [Open]
If Lanae were alive, surely her heart would have been racing, too, for the long-awaited moment was upon her. Then again, if she were alive, neither she nor Katarya would be in her wagon in the middle of the night between one destination and another. Nor would she be about to sup on the witch's blood...

Re: Sleepwalker [Open]
The fact that Katarya did not reject the proposition outright was more than a good side. Lanae smiled inwardly, inordinately pleased that she appeared to consider it seriously. Perhaps it was because her reasoning had been sound; an astonishing achievement when one took into account how disjointed h...

Re: Sleepwalker [Open]
Inside the wagon, Lanae was an odd fixture among the witch's things, which were familiar and comfortable -- two qualities utterly at odds with the cold, alien thing in their midst. She sat opposite of Katarya and looked completely at her leisure, with her hands laying atop the scythe resting across ...

Unexpected Guest [Closed]
Unexpected Guest Lanae did not know where she was going. Since the night this nightmarish existence began, she has been wandering without apparent direction. Like a boat cut adrift from its mooring, she drifted aimlessly and scarcely paid any mind to where she was going or where she might end up nex...
