she nodded but did not take his arm " escorting someone in such a fashion is out dated" She told him " So is chivalry" She walked forwards and out the door. she walked down the stairs she'd wait untill they where closer to her sisters house before she tryed to make her escape.

He sighed and followed the young woman. Then jumped in front of her at the porch, "So I'm going to lead at least." He headed toward the town, "What do you want to eat?"

She shrug ed " I figured we'd just do some grocery shopping no use going out every time i want to eat"S he said ignoring his dominate act of having to lead. she was far to used to living among the wear wolfs.

Karolek laughed, "Alright but my kitchen hasn't been used in 50 years, or so." He jumped over a log and waited for her to catch so they could walk side by side, "So tell me about yourself? I Already know your sister." He smiled down at her.

Marina chuckled and shrugged " I was half expecting you to say you did not have a kitchen" She teased lightly however she completely ignored his last question and changed the subject having no intention of letting him get to close to her. " OH look at the stars. its such a clear night you can see a lot of them" She said as she looked upwards.

"Why do you avoid me so?" Karolek was confused how could this be, she was the first woman not to be completely enthralled with him on the first day that he had fed from them or even just looking at him. He saw the town through the trees and stopped, "please tell me." He looked back at her.

She sighed " do not be offended, I keep everyone away" she said and that was the only bit of information she would tell him the rest he would either have to figure out him self or simply never know.

Karolek stood mouth opened then closed it with a kind look, "I guess I have ruined your life. And i think i know what you want to do. You can do it but sooner or later you will crave to be in my company. I do not even like it, but it came unexpectedly." He turned and continued his way to town, "By the way, I enjoy soft things, Like the velvet cushions and the sound of the clarinet." He chuckled at himself, she would deal with learning more and more about him.

She sighed and rolled her eyes " yeah good luck with that then" She muttered as she walked off in an opistate direction. she jumped into a river to erase her scent, after which she rolled around in the mudd in an area which looked as if animals visted offten. nothing would look out of place then.after which she got leaves and stuck them to her, she climbed up into a tree and travled through the branches. moving quickly away from him.

He laughed as she left, then sat down and waited enjoying the scenery. After an hour he got bored and went to where she entered the lake. "Well she's away from you know what shall I do. Shall i follow her? no. I shall wait and clean till sunrise, She may return by then. if not i shall reavaluate in the next rising." He didn't want to give up so early but he knew she would want to return and diserved to go to her sister.

Little did he know she did not go to her sisters no. instead she was quite confidant that he would not find her scent path and nor would he find a more psychical path since she had taken the trees. she jumped down to the ground once she reached a clearing filled with wolfs. some transformed into a more human look and laughed at her.
" shut up" she told them moodily but they simply laughed harder
" who are you running from now?" They asked her as they simply allowed this human into the packs den something that only pack members where allowed
(( no she's not a wolf she's human and i'm going somewhere with this.))

((ok.))

Karolek was distracting himself by cleaning the dust from his house, for some reason he felt that he absolutely had to. as he finished in the lobby area he moved through the hall swiftly, it was all coming together he had done the kitchen already and was now starting the living room. Then, he stopped and sat down on his one red velvet chair and curled up. "Why won't she come back?" He sat a brooded a few minutes before going back to his speed cleaning.

Marina sat and simply stayed silent while the pack members went about they're day to day routine. eventually she was sidled with all of the pups while the adults went out hunting. she didn't mind she loved everyone of the pups.

After expelling the dirt from his body for the umpteenth time he felt the sunrise on it's way. He looked around his home, it looked like a nice place to live, why hadn't he cared before. He had a few donors in the past and never cared.

He walked back to his room and fell asleep only for the first time in a long time he dreamt of her and him talking and laughing. Would she return to him He hoped so.

Marina fell asleep amid the pups, the adults came back shortly after and simply chuckled, as all of them where passed out.

Karolek slept on, he found himself dreaming about Marina in one of his sisters dresses that he had, in his arms dancing around his basement to a strange instrument.

The next night came and still she had no intentions of going back, yes she felt the pull but thanks to slayer training she could ignore it even when it turned into a light pain. however what she did not know was if she kept ignoring it she would die.

Karolek woke with an ache that told him she wasn't returning yet, he finished tidying up his home, then went in search of her. He went across the stream where she had then tried to sniff out where she was. Then he realized he wasn't able to sniff out people so he tried to find her another way.

It was a full moon that night and the howls from the wolfs could be heard, soon they would hold a small ruital to worship the moon then they would throw a party. as was per ussal with this pack.

Karolek sighed when he heard the wolves. "It must be a full moon I didn't even notice. I hope she's alright. I Should take a meal and get back to my home. I hope the pain doesn't kill her to soon. It would be bad if she did." He put a hand on his forehead this was making his head hurt.

She was a very very stubborn women. her sister who was closely linked to her at all times was also in the woods looking for her this night

Karolek sighed he couldn't take it anymore, he turned back and ran with his full vampiric speed toward the wolves. could she be there. "Marina! Were are you?"

Marina did not hear him, she simply continued to play with the pups and generally look like part of the pack. muinse the randoum wolf parts.

He was clinging to the tree watching her, could she feel his being close, she looked so happy with the pups. He shouldn't interfere, but he would have to soon.

She smiled as one asked yet again when they're parents would be back with food.
" when they are back" She stated teasingly and flicked him on the nose before he ran off to play again. she sat down idly, however she scanned the tree's she had an odd feeling of being watched.
