Any one got the time? I seem to have lost mine..

[Ehlena Rempoon]

Lifting her head from her knees she blinked at the darkness. Being a vampire was one thing living in total darkness without any light at all but for the light that managed to creep beneath the door was entirely another.

Add that to the fact that she needed a bath and a decent meal yeah she was just full of happy happy joy joy.

What if no one came to look for her? What if they had abandoned search and rescue and started just hoping to find a body for the Fade ceremony? Sweet Virgin...

With a hard emotional yank on her proverbial bootstraps, she pulled herself out of the self pitying vein of thought and steeled her resolve for another round of let's see what buttons we can push today.

The door popped open and a female stepped in carrying a long robe and basin of water.

"Strip and bath female," she ordered tossing the robe to the table as she unlocked the manacles.

Ehlena stood up and met the female's eyes. "My thanks," she said quietly. She figured that she was going to have an audience just to add humiliation to the growing pile of things that would make her twitch. With a deep breath she carefully peeled away her blood soaked shirt dropping it to the chair. Dipping the cloth in the barely warm water, she washed her face carefully using her fingers to check the gash on the side of her head. She was going to need some antibiotics she was pretty sure.

She made quick work of washing her upper half before slipping into the robe to remove her filthy jeans and the delicate underwear beneath. Using the robe to hide her intimate flesh she washed and rinsed carefully then dropped the cloth to the basin. She flatly refused to remove her shoes.

With a nod the female gathered her clothes and the basin, leaving her in the dark again.

Not even thinking, she made for the door and discovered that she could reach it. The female had left her off the chain.

She tested the knob.

[Ehlena Rempoon]

The knob moved then froze. Damn it.. She slammed her hand against the heavy door and growled in frustration. She found her way back to the chair and table that must be a recent addition. It wasn't here the last time she was.

She was getting tired of guarding her thoughts and emotions. The headache that had taken up leasing rights in her cranium was becoming annoying. She had to find something to shift her focus to.

A thought ambled its way in and sat down.

In her soft contralto voice she began to speak...

"When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings. "
(William Shakespeare Sonnet 29)

"I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain --and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of f__t
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night. " (Robert Frost)

"i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)" (e.e. cummings)

[Ehlena Rempoon]

"I do not love you as if you were a salt rose, or topaz
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep." (Pablo Neruda)

Her voice broke as tears swam in her toffee eyes. She let herself feel the emotions that she had kept lidded.. the fear.. the uncertainty.. the pain for a brief moment before she shoved them back down, wiping her eyes as she took a shuddery breath. "Suck it up Ehlena. Find your balance," she whispered as she slid from the chair to the floor on her knees, her head bowed and eyes closed.

[Ehlena Rempoon]

She didn't know how long she had stayed there when she lifted her head and opened her eyes to see the door open and a new male standing in the light.

She could feel his mind pressing against hers.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You might not like what you see," she said getting up to stand, the white robing falling to cover her sneakers.

He arched a slim brow at her as he folded his arms across his chest.

"And what would I find, female that is so frightening?"

"My connection to your King. Do you think he is going to be a happy symphath when he finds out that I am being held without cause? Do you think he will be giving you and your brethren the keys to the city when he realizes that I'm here, I'm hurt," she said pointing to the gash on her head and the bruises up and down her left arm," and that NO one thought to call him and tell him that you had taken a captive? OOOH you don't WANT him to know is that it?"

The male growled low. "You are about to seal your fate female. You are lying to prevent the inevitable."

Ehlena folded her arms in a mirror of his stance. "Don't project what you want into my grid. You must not be very accomplished at reading grids because if you were you would be able to tell I am not lying."

The pressure against her mind doubled and she fought back against the rising tide of pain. The sin eater began to sweat with the effort. When the pressure ended suddenly she actually stumbled forward as if a wall she had been pressing against had been removed without warning.

The sin eater was in her face, his red eyes glowing. "I will break you," he hissed as he wound his hand into her hair,. yanking her head back.

She was gonna lose some hair but what the hell, she thought as she grimaced jerking her head forward to slam her fore head into his nose. A satisfying crunch later and her forehead was covered in blue blood.

He yowled in pain and threw her back against the wall.

She landed with a thud but quickly regained herself and wiped his blood from her face with the sleeve of robe then got back in his face. "Do. Not. Fucking. touch. me." she growled back at him as he reached for her again T1 grabbed him and slung him out the door, his face a mask of cool control.

"You are quickly becoming more trouble than you are worth female," he snarled as the door clicked closed and locked sending her back into the darkness.
