Lovers In The Dark

@ The Detective



I smile to myself softly as I plucked some specialty herbs that she has been looking for so I could make my special healing medicine.  However sighed as I saw a tall shadow, knowing that someone was standing behind me as I heard them chuckling, taunting me.  I immediately knew who it was when he chuckled, making me sigh once more before standing up.

"Hanging by the enemies' territory again are we, Olina?  You know that mommy and daddy dearest are going to be upset that you disobeyed them." Talon teased menacingly, then grabbed my arm like he was about to force me to leave. "It's a good thing that I came out here to find you and save you before those fucking demons try to harm you, princess." He smirked, pulling me close to him.

I rolled my eyes and struggled to get my arm out of his grip.  "I don't care if mom and my step dad are mad. Besides isn't it about time we end this hatred between us and the demons?" I say truthfully as I went to grab my basket that carried the herbs I picked and some premade medicinal ointments.  I knew that my step dad was the one who sent Talon to find me and bring me back home to my step dad and my mom. My step dad, who is the leader of the coven has chosen Talon to take his place, but in order to do so, he has to marry me since he didn't have any offspring of his own before marrying my mom.

I don't like Talon.  He's too cocky, controlling, and degrading. Besides, I've never wanted to be in this position.  I just wanted to live a simple life, make medicinal ointments and help those in need, make peace with everyone, and be independent, just like my birth father did before he was killed.

"I know that they sent you to bring me back.  But I'm not going anywhere with you!" I told him before walking away, hoping he would leave me alone, but I knew that he wouldn't until he brought me back to our coven.  I wasn't going to let him take me back easily, so I took off running, hoping that I would get away from him.
