All These Possibilities

Elsa smiled. "You didn't have to do that!" She said softly and then smiled at him. "I guess I owe you that... Since you bought me this necklace." She said happily.

Rian smiled a little at her. Their eyes met and he could to keep his eyes off of her. She was so beautiful. It was amazing and he walked slowly with her. "So... Where are we going?" He teased.

Cecil smiled, "Such a beautiful agreeing to converse with such a lame boy like me." He teased, walking through the rows of booths.

Jezebel giggled, "I already told you. We are going to the shop down the street." She stood on her tip toes, trying to see if she could even match his height in heels, which she could not.

Elsa smiled and shrugged. "And what makes you a lame boy?" She said teasingly, toying with the necklace that he had bought for her.

Rian smiled at her. "I know - I was just making sure we weren't getting distracted." He teased lightly. "Now what are you doing?" He teased.

Cecil gestured to himself, "I don't even have a cool job or car. I'm just me." He said with a crooked smile. He stopped for a second, seeing a moon tattoo on someone nearby. He narrowed his eyes.

Jezebel pouted, "You're so tall, sir. I can't even compare and I'm in heels." She latched onto his arm, trying to pull herself up without dropping her umbrella.

Elsa smiled and nodded her head. "And I'm just me - I see nothing wrong with that." She laughed lightly. She made eye contact with Rafe, one of the guards and smiled lightly, saying she was okay.

Rian chuckled and shook his head. "Well that's okay by me - short girls are cute!" He teased lightly and smiled. "Makes us feel bigger, more powerful."

Cecil, placed his hand on the silver dagger that was in his belt. "Elsa..." He mumbled protectively. "Do you know him?" He asked, nodding towards the man with the moon tattoo.

Jez pouted, still trying, she stumbled, her hand flailing out into the sun. The moment the sun hit her wrist she jerked back, holding her wrist close. She couldn't help but hiss in pain.

Elsa looked up in confusion and nodded her head. "Yes, why? What's wrong?" She asked him softly, wondering why he suddenly sounded all worried.

Rian looked at her in confusion and stepped closer to her. "Jezabel - what happened?! What's wrong?!" He asked her lightly, placing his hand over her arm softly.

Cecil looked at her, "The tattoo you have... Is it of the moon?" He asked in a monotone voice. If this girl turned out to be what he thought.... He didnt even want to think about it.

Jez winces, "I-It's nothing... I'm fine, Rian. J-just call me Jez." She assured, glancing at her wrist, frowning at the blistered skin that was slowly healing.

Elsa looked up at him in confusion and took a step back. "Why do you ask that like that?" She asked in a slightly elevated tone, frowning slightly. The other, Rafe, was growling to only her knowledge."

Rian nodded lightly. "Jez..." He said with a smile and nodded. "I like it. Listen... You okay? Let me see... What happened to you?" He asked softly to her.

Cecil was disappointed, "You're a wolf aren't you?" He asked, his grip tight on the silver dagger in his pocket. He was mad that he hadn't figured it out earlier.

Jez shook her head, not wanting him to know. "It's okay, I'm okay. Calm down, Rian." She told the man next to her.

Elsa stepped back. "How would you know..." And then she stopped. "You're a hunter..." She took another step back and crossed her arms. "Stay away." She growled.

Rian frowned lightly. "I just didn't see anything happen - so what is hurting you? I don't like seeing you distressed..." He said with a slight frown, wondering now.

Cecil gritted his teeth, pulling the dagger out slightly. "Leave." He said harshly, he wasn't going to hurt her unless he had to.

Jez let go of her wrist, walking slightly faster. There were still blisters on her flesh, but she didnt want Rian to see them. "C'mon, Rian. The shop closes soon." The shop was closing soon, but she also wanted to avoid his question.

Elsa frowned when she saw the dagger and she shook her head. "Come on - I'm not causing any problems! What's your problem?!" She yelled, annoyed.

Rian frowned. He was having a sneaking suspicion of what she was - and it didn't look good... Not good at all. "What are you hiding from me, Jez?"

Cecil sighed, "I'm sorry... But you should go." He couldn't leave because he had to stay with his sister. He liked Elsa still, even after knowing what she was, he still couldn't stand the thought of killing her.

Jez turned around, staring at him. "If you haven't noticed, we met only 20 minutes ago. I'm hiding most everything about myself from you because we barely know each other!" She snapped. She gasped at her sudden outburst. "I'm sorry, I'm usually not so moody." She quickly apologized.

Elsa frowned and crossed her arms. "No! You're not going to just force me to leave like that - I'm not doing anything wrong - and you can't punish me because of that!"

Rian frowned at her and nodded his head. "Oh... I guess you're right." He said softly and was quiet. This sneaking suspicion about her wasn't helping and he frowned lightly, walking in silence.

Cecil sighed, "I'm not punishing you. It's just, I don't want you to get hurt." He picked up his newly ringing cell phone and his eyes widened. His voice stayed calm through the call. When he hung up he looked at Elsa, "Now you really need to go."

Jez sighed, pulling Rian into a hug. "I'm sorry. You've been nothing but charming and kind and I've been such a horrible person. Will you please forgive me?" She ran her thumbs over his large hand, looking up at him with a pleading look. She felt terrible after her outburst.

Instead of stepping back, Elsa stepped closer to him. She had a feeling he wouldn't hurt her and she shook his head. "You don't control me - now what are you going to do if I don't?" She teased.

Rian was surprised by the hug but hugged her back with a smile, nodding his head. He brushed back some hair and nodded his head. "Of course I forget you. I'm sorry that I upset you at all..."

Cecil looked at the group of people shuffling in. "It's not what I'll do. It's what they'll do." He mumbled to her. The other hunters had arrived and he needed to get Elsa out of here.

Jezebel smiled, "You didn't upset me. I promise." Jez kissed his cheek, smiling slightly.

Elsa shook her head. "I'm not afraid of your hunters - I've dealt with worse. I'm not scared of them." She crossed her arms. Rafe was on the side, starting to growl angrily.

Rian smiled at her and nodded his head. "Good," he said with a smile and ran a hand over her cheek. "You're so cute." He smiled lightly and kissed her forehead.
