Anna watched in slight confusion as he spoke.  He wasn't acting like his usual self, it was a bit....disturbing.  She noticed how he seemed to have that far off distant gaze, and that immediately sent chills up her spine.  He then disappeared into the darkness and the girl then sat back on the ground and watched the corner where he was shifted into the darkness.  "Well I guess trying to get along is out of the question.." She grumbled.<br/><br/>A sigh escaped her lips as she looked back to her incomplete flower crown.  She didn't feel like finishing it off anymore so she simply pushed it off to the side and hugged her legs close to her chest so she could think properly.  Why did she care whether or not he held her again?   She hated to admit it to herself, but she had enjoyed the feeling if his embrace, his icy breath against her neck, and the feeling of hmteir skin making contact.  Just like his being, his touch was very addicting to the senses.<br/><br/>"Little heart broken there are ya dearie?" A voice said.  Anna jumped as she stood up quickly in a panic.  The voice had come from the forest.  She couldn't see the dark horse anywhere either.  "It's not unusual that he pulls you in and then pushes you away, it what makes to want him more" the male voice said.<br/>"Shut up!   Who are you?!" She called out.   It didn't sound like Lance or Armas.  "I'm just here to collect. This creature doesn't deserve a flower" the voice hissed, as she could suddenly hear the voice coming right from behind her.  Before she could turn around, a cloth was placed over her mouth and nose as she was held by two strong arms.   She suddenly lost te urge to scream and the world around her turned black, and her body went limp.<br/><br/>When she woke up, it was the middle of the night and her body was restricted from movement.   She looked down as she notice that her upper body was tied to a tree and she was sitting down.  A small campfire was burning nearby and a man was resting by it.  'He must think I'm still out cold...'.   Anna used this to her advantage as let out a loud scream, hoping to catch anyone's attention.  She had nothing to cut the ropes with but she noticed a stick off to the side.  Maybe she could loosen the ropes enough to get her arms out.  As soon as she screamed, the shadowy figure came over and covered her mouth.  "Shut your trap you brat" he said crossly.  He looked like the incubus on that poster that was stealing other's women.  "If you're a good little human and let me take all of your life energy, I might make your death quick and painless...but you have to shut up!" He hissed and slapped her face hard.<br/>Anna glared and bit his hand that covered her mouth and didn't let go.  She bit down so hard that blood started to draw from his skin.  He growled as he pulled his bloody hand back and kicked Anna in the stomach.  It caused her to curl up a little bit and groan, am gritting her teeth as she struggled to recapture her breath.  "Stupid human...." He muttered as he decided tie up her mouth with a gag.
