Rising Shadows [Dark Huntress, Scarsmate, and Redkite]

[Dark Huntress]

[ikr! abandoning Ramzy to the non-wolves hahaha]

Rowen his her bemused expression as she lifted her dining shawl from her shoulders and tossed it at Ramzy. "I don't think it's too warm," she said, eyes wide in faux innocence. He played along, shooting her flat look.

"Speak for yourself. I like to be half-naked."

Daelyn was there in an instant. "What?" He asked pointedly. Rowen backed up.

"I think I'll walk home," she said slowly, then waved at Ramzy. He gave a her small sad wave then innocently grinned at her father. Rowen was lightening fast through the guess and woods back to Rivera and Rotan's mansion, but slowed when she reached the cobblestone streets, hoping to avoid suspicion.

Septimus sees her, but not wanting her to notice, slips into the shadows. He can't help but grin at her though. He also can't help but feel her vulnerability, how easy she would be to kill....He stops and runs in the opposite direction. He doesn't want the past to happen again... Not again...He wonders whether he should go and talk to her. He doesn't want her to get into trouble though....

[RedKite]

DH!

[Dark Huntress]

[Sorry!]

Rowen hears his footsteps. "Septimus?" She asked quietly, subconsciously aware he was the one retreating. Perhaps, she thought. He wants to be left alone. She shrugged and stalked off to her house. She undressed, a little surprised her parents had not returned. A little unwilling to go to sleep already, she grabbed a book and sat on her bed, fingering the rose Sperimus had left, thought its origin was unknown. A rattling sound brought her to her window only a few minutes later, however.

Below was Ramzy.

She gave him a look. "Isn't throwing pebbles a little stereotypical?" she asked. He shrugged.

"Would you rather I howl, milady," he grinned wolfishly.

"Yes, sirrah." She smiled. "Are you going to climb up a vine?"

"No." He scaled the bricks more quickly than the eye could follow. Now their noses were practically touching. "Good night, Rowen."

She shook her head at him. "Is that all you wanted?"

"Besides seeing you? No, actually, I was wondering if you would bring your family by my estate tomorrow. I'll send an invitation, but I needed an excuse to come by."

"Well, we'll be there, if I have a say," she closed the window slowly. "Good night."

"Sweet dreams," he whispered, then dropped to the ground.

[RedKite]

(OOH! Rowen and Ramzy, sittin' in a twee, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! LOL!)

Septimus sits alone in the back alley and sighs. He wonders if Rowen had found his rose. He then sees Rowen and Ramzy and sighs more. That DARN Ramzy....He hisses.

[Dark Huntress]

[Wow! Jealousy...]

Rowen shook her head at Ramzy. The audacity of that werewolf, but she couldn't shake her thoughts from him in the woods and only moments ago. What a hopeless idiot I am! She thought to herself.

[RedKite]

(LOL, what do you expect?)

Septimus curses under his breath and sits, not knowing what to do.

[Dark Huntress]

[...]

Rowen slammed her book down on her bed. "Damn Jane Austen," she muttered under her breath, then stalked over to the window, a little disappointed she could no longer see Ramzy.

[RedKite]

Septimus just decides to walk...Not knowing where, he just needed to let off some steam. He sees her house and sighs...

[Dark Huntress]

A little bored and wondering where her parents were, Rowen moved down the hall peeked down the stairs then returned to her bedroom. She then stepped into the bathroom to wash her face. Maybe splashing herself with cold water would cool her burning cheeks.
