Bio Info:
Livia Du'Prae
She turned in her bed,his words linger still
in her dreams,making them nightmares one moment
as she wrestles with her desires and
thoughts,confusion drowning her for she had
always til now had some control over her
emotions. Then as she turned again she heards
Psyches voice,whisper in her mind. Livia, wake up
your having a nightmare and I do not know how to
help its all so new,do you know him?'' Starled
awake,she sits up in her bed.shaken. Psyche,yes I
am fine. just a new acquantenance,please keep it
between us, I do not want Midnight alarming
Sarrah you know how she would react I mean I
promised to be cautious of men and tell her of
any meeting,I don't know whats happening,one
lie,leads to another just please sorry your
awake, leave me to my thinking my friend'' '' I
told you sneaking out and stealing your heritage
was gonna get you into trouble, well when your
done figuring out your feelings can we both
rest,like now I am worried cause now I am keeping
stuff from my mate and he will just have to
understand you know this is all gonna come out in
the end, and I hope your ready for the fall -out.
and for what it is you will discover Livia you
somewhat know your just terrified and you should
be,he is a complete stranger to have had such an
effect on you'' with the last comment she felt
Pyches anger and how she pulled away from her
abruptly. '' ouch,she shook her head. she stood
and dressed in her netting,she wished to feel the
night air agaisnt her flesh. she hurt within,for
when ones companion was angry and upset it left
the other feeling the same for they were bonded
in such away unless you were a ghatti or its
companion you would never understand there love
and friendship it was like a marriage in away.
Stepping outside she began her track to the lake,
she had no idea what Psyche meant bout how she
felt. She had tried so hard to understand thoght
when he left her last night. Sarrah was still
questioning her strange behaviour,for she had
never requested time off from her duties.
Kneeling again near the lake she picked up a
pebble and skipped it across the lake, his lips
against hers was the first thought that came to
mind,the first kiss for her,he seemed to know she
was sheltered,yet he swears he didnt read her
thoughts yet he spoke them as if he had. Perhaps
when it came to such affairs she was not good at
masking her heart and her feelings, for up til
now she had never had need to be so cautious. ''
and so Livia dear just what shall we do
next,shall we explore or run for what a tangled
web one has made for oneself, lies your first lie
and gah what a disaster'' She had been wearing
the necklace absently around her neck. Forgetful
how dangerous it could be.
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*No sound is
made as once agian he finds himself in her
presence.Leaning casually agianst a tree,the same
tree he had leaned agianst several nights before,
with his arms crossed and no emotion on his
features.He remains silent,listening to your
words and watching your actions.Then softly he
spoke,his voice eirily carrying on the wind to
greet your ears and that tugging to your heart
seems to grow.*I see you hve been thinkings of
me,or at least about the nights we have spent
together.
Livia
Du'Prae
As his words fall to her ears,the next pebble
she had scooped up had just hit the water and
sunk kind of like how she felt as she scrambled
to her feet. as her heart seem to race once
again,feeling drawn to him,her soft jade eyes met
his as she stood so still as if catching her
breath,and again her dark thief had snuck up on
her a thief who should be tuned to his footsteps
yet again she was caught off-guard and she knew
he loved this effect he had on her. '' Yes, it
seems your correct in that assumption your very
much on my mind so much it frightens me. Though
our nights together have been so innocent I feel
such a desire within that I think I am afraid of
myself as well as you,and your right I have not
told my mentor the woman who has been like a
mother to me for so many years. I feel like I
have betrayed her,and I feel if I don't explore
what it is I feel and believe I shall always have
regrets and betray myself, and you perhaps, yet
so silly how could I betray you,we hardly know
each other so why is it I care what I do to
thee?''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*He listens in calm silence and as you conclude
he laughs softly.Taking a step closer he watches
you with his soul searching eyes,that amused
twinkle there mocking you as always.*So why
then dont you tell your guild mistress?You will
open up to me,a stranger, your darkest
desires.You will long for me as you have longed
for no other and you will fear for what will
happen should you not act on these desires.Yet
you wont tell the one whom is like a mother? Are
you ashamed of me?*With the gesture of a hand
he motions to the distant city.*If you are I
will leave and never return.You will never have
to worry about betraying me.
Livia
Du'Prae
Her jade eyes never left
his as he stepped closer and drilled her with
each question and told her of her desires,she
knew it true she desired him how could one not
look at him and not,she felt more drawn to him
and with each word he spoke she wanted to run
into his arms and hide. yet the thought was
quickly wiped from her mind as his final question
made her wince and take a step back. he could see
the pain wash over her expression,as her jade
eyes watered she just let them close. '' I am not
ashamed of you my thief,perhaps thats just it am
ashamed of myself I feel so weak sometimes when
were so close and I promised her I would let no
man enter my life,especially touch me til her and
I had a chance to talk. Yet I feel rebellious as
well like who is she to question how I feel and
whom I let touch me. I am sorry I made you feel I
was ashamed of you,that is not true at all I , I
am just not used to such emotions am so used to
being in control of all situations,yet with you I
feel your more in control than I''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
There is nothing wrong with letting others be
in control.Even I have those whom have more
control than I do.Its a matter of whom you let
have such control.*Taking a few more steps
closer he continues watching you,pondering his
next move or comment.*You should heed your
mistress's warnings Lady Du'Prae, she may even be
able to help you figure out the confusion within.
Or you may take the risk of asking me what you
desire to and hope that some day the answers will
come to you or I will be able to answer them for
you. One way or another you will need to let
another take control.
Livia
Du'Prae
Again as he draws closer she feels the need to
run,yet within herself there is a stronger will
to stay and be near him. Her eyes remain closed
as she listens to him,she starts realizing she
does know her own desires,and as her expression
shows a hint of panic,her jade eyes open slowly
and meet his. '' I know my hearts desire and I am
realizing my bodies desire,yet what is it you
desire and if I asked you what it is you think I
desire, I shall take the risk of asking thee and
letting you have a little bit of control. Just do
not abuse it is all I ask, for I would ask my
mystress yet I already know what she will speak.
she will speak out against you,and I know within
I could not bare that, for it would cause such
turmoil in our relationship, and my companion
Psyche,a ghatti,she is a little larger than most
domestic cats.. Just know she is more unique then
most cats and respect her as you do me.. She I
could of asked her, yet she already knew and what
fun is there in that, I wanted to be sure myself.
takeing a seat as she pulls what clothing she has
against her flesh feeling so vulnerable for the
first time,yet her legs felt like they would
buckle under on her,as she began realizing how
she felt. Her eyes searched yours as she sat down
upon the grass. '' I am not gonna be so in
control as I thought,it seems I would have to
give to you that in which I asked of you in
return ''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*He arches a brow ever so slightly and takes yet
another step closer.Now standing half the
distance from the tree he had leaned agianst and
yourself.*You dont have to give me any more
than you choose,if I intended to take what i
wanted from you then why would I have waited so
long?Three times now I have caught you
unawares,and in each of those three times what
would have stopped me from taking what I wanted?
Or perhaps by spending time and talking with me
you have given what I wanted,have you thought of
that Lady Du'Prae?*Though he smiles and that
amused twinkle shines in his eyes his voice was
rather serious and soft.How did you know just wht
he wanted or would take from you?*
Livia
Du'Prae
Her eyes closed as he was halfway between
closing the gap between them, his words sent a
chill through out her++ what could he mean you
can't just take that from someone I have to offer
such a thing is ones heart,unless he plans on
ripping it apart. for she couldn't help but take
in his amused twinkle and remembering his
predatory eyes the other night. was she being
hunted. '' You can't just take ones heart it must
be given. I mean what else ~her voice trails off
and she laughs mostly at herself as she realizes
he was meanint as he did the first night they
met. she was so naive and she was feeling it more
and more and she felt the frying pan being lit as
she was thrown into it. '' Perhaps that is all
you crave is conversation and I have been so
naive to have thought otherwise. and perhaps I as
you so know am naive to many things. Yet am aware
that you wish to help me open my eyes to the
world around me,and why would you wish to do
that?''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*At this his eyes narrow ever so
slightly,displeasure apparent within them.As he
speaks you can sence that some how you had
insulted him and something tells you as desirable
as he is normally he is equally frightful when
angered.His voice is softer than any time before
now,even when he had whispered gently into your
ears, yet some how you heard him all to
clearly.*You are indeed naive Lady Du'Prae,but
not for the reasons you have mentioned.You desire
to know what I want of you then I shall tell
you.I want you,I want all of you.I want more than
any man alive could have.That,Lady Du'Prae, is
what I want.Your body I could take with ease.Your
soul I could take from you, belive it or not is
your choice but I could. Your heart I am already
working on, or do you deny the feelings you have
for me?*With this siad he seem to become more
the man you met several days past.His eyes
relaxing some and the twinkle returning, even if
only slightly.*
Livia
Du'Prae
She swallows hard as she gazes into his eyes
as they narrow she understand she has insulted
him and his anger is not what she had wished.
Just she had to understand everything that was
suddenly being opened up and she wasn't wanting
to go head first without reassurance he wasn't
just gonna leave her like he had come into her
life. '' Why is it you want me? Are we speaking
forever or just one night? You see I am not just
some trophy am not gonna be so easy as you seem
to think,for you can't just take from me my soul
or body for I would fight you to the death you
have to know that and when you speak like that
makes me fear the feelings I have for you. I am
not just some woman who washes clothes,do you
forget I am a thief and have fought and killed
before,so your right I am not naive in some ways
and most naive in others. I understand I believe
what you want, I think in many ways I desire that
of you yet I am wary,for I know my heart has
feelings I will not deny that,but what of your
heart? You have only spoke of desires? ~her jade
eyes sparkle catching that twinkle return in your
eye,she shivers,knowing sometimes when he gets
that smug look and twinkle it makes her want to
kiss him like he did her the other night~
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*He remains silent as he moves closer,the
amusement and calm having returned as he does
so.As the night before he circles you
slowly.Watching and thinking, debating what he
would say next.Then he stops behind you and steps
close so his chest presses lightly to your
back,one hand snaking around your waist then as
if he flinched he holds the dagger you keep on
your inner thigh.Whispering softly into your ear
he slides his other arm about you and raises both
hands for you to see.*You wish to see how
futile your fighting to the death would be?You
wish to see just a portion of the power I hold?
*Ever so slowly he draws the dagger across
the open palm of his free hand,as the blade comes
free the wound seems to close its self leaving no
sign of ever having ocered other than the slight
trace of blood*You see my Lady Du'Prae, I
desire you and could have you.But I deisre you to
come to me willingly, I cant tell you for how
long for I dont know.
Livia
Du'Prae
Her jade eyes search his as he once again
begins circling her,she senses his amusement and
feeling once again like prey she begins to stand
her head tilts to follow him. before she realized
it again he was behind her with such quickness,as
his chest pressed against her back she took a
deep breath as she felt her body shudder. as his
arm wraps around her waist she felt a brief touch
over her thigh she thought then his other arm
wraps around her,she leans against him,she feel
the coolness of his breath against her neck,his
words bring chills and her flesh prickles with
goosebumps. as her dagger comes to view her hand
falls to her inner thigh,a soft cry of alarm'' my
dagger,wait its poisonous my thief'' yet as her
words fall to late as he cuts his palm a tear
falls down her cheek. as she watches the wound
heal,she reaches for his hand and her lips press
against where the wound once was and kisses it
softly and turns into you,her jade eyes watery.
as she beats at your chest softly '' You scared
me, I thought I was gonna lose you. I had no
doubt you could take me I just wanted to let you
know if you tried to force on me what I could if
you gave me a chance give to you out of love I
would rather die. ~again she felt the warmth of
her tears and she had realized til they had met
she had never cried since the day she went
running through the forest away from the soldiers
that slayed her family. '' I have never felt this
way the way you make me feel,it scares me'' her
fists lie still against his chest as her jade
eyes show a softness for the first time since
they met~
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*Reaching up with one hand he agian take your
cheek in his palm and wipes the tear away with
his thumb,his touch cool and ever so gentle.His
other hand tosses the dagger aside then snakes
about your waist agian.*Why do you fear your
emotions?What harm could come?If I intended to
hurt you why would I wait when you know I could
have done so already?*His voice was just a
whisper agian but the mocking in its tone was
gone*
Livia
Du'Prae
she presses her cheek against his palm,letting
her arms wrap around his neck loosely,pressing
against him feeling safe ~ '' I just have never
felt such emotions and I did not trust myself
cause we have only just met,wasn't sure my
feelings were real or if I craved something I
never knew existed. and your right I knew the
first night if you wanted to kill me you could,
for I had pulled the dagger out yet your actions
made me rethink such an act,for living is my
ultimate goal'' ~she laughs softly,her jade eyes
searching yours~ '' I want to know what you are,I
mean what you did tis not natural and I promise
whatever you reveal to me I shall not fear nor
repeat to another''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*He remains silent for a short while,his eyes
holding yours and agian its as if he is searching
for something.Then slowly he shakes his
head,though his eyes never leave yours.*I'm
not permitted to reviel what I am,not now any
ways.And you would fear me even if you dont think
so.That or you may desire to become as I am and I
would not have that.*Once more his thumb
caresses your cheek then he takes a step back
from you.His eyes leaving yours and looking to
the moon as if the answers he seeks may be
there.*
Livia
Du'Prae
Her jade eyes gaze into his as he holds her
gaze,her expression and eyes show a trace of
something that she had not shown for til in his
arms she was not sure of the love she felt. '' I
understand, like when we first met you are still
protecting me from what it is you are,and I do
not wish nor do I think you could scare me away
from you. '' his soft caress of her cheek made
her feel safe her eyes closed,as he stepped back
her eyes opened and fell on the moon above as she
takes a step towards you,her hand reaching to
take your hand~ So what is it you search for,and
may you find it''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
I search for answers, and at times questions
to the answers I have.*Slowly his eyes lower
to you agian and he smiles ever so
slightly,though once agian that amusement returns
and that taunting to his voice.*I seek for the
truth to what I am,and for a way to alter the
plan the fates have placed apon us.
Livia
Du'Prae
'' I understand,sometimes there are no answers
to the questions one may seek'' as his eyes fall
on her again she smiles softly at you and catches
the amusement and his taunting voice. '' Fate can
not be altered and don't you know what you are? I
am glad I quit fighting my emotions am able to
relax so much more and get to know you rather
than trying to push you away and hide what I
feel''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*He nods once but remains silent for a few
moments.His eyes watching you,when he does speal
its some what distant as if he is thinking
still.*I know what I am all too well.And there
are things I love and things I hate about it,just
as there are things you must love and hate about
who you are.As for the fates,no I am certain
there is no way to alter their plans.But I will
continue my search for reasons best left
unspoken.And what of yourself Lady Du'Prae, what
is it you search for?
Livia
Du'Prae
She steps closer and lets her head rest
against his shoulder. '' True yet I have grown
accustom to what it is I am and I so far like
her, yet am getting to know a diferent side of
myself now,and I must say it still scaeres me and
yet all I want is to get closer to you'' her eyes
gaze up at the moon as he speaks,and turnign to
stare at him~ '' I had always searched for the
next mystery to solve, I am most adventurous and
I search for the next thing to steal for my
guild. I search for happiness I do not care about
world peace I think that is just a waist of
time,war shall always be for it makes the kings
richer ~shrugs~ I never searched for love or a
companion for I was scared of love after hearing
sarrahs story,yet I think it sought me out for
fate has brought us together''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
And what of your Sarrah now?How will she feel
about you after you reviel me to her?More
importantly how will she feel about me when she
learns what I am,and yes when you now so will
she.She is the mistress and has more worldly
experience than you.She will know the signs and
learn what I am,and then eather i will be forced
to flee for my own safety or kill for it.*His
voice was calm but flat and matter of fact.He
knew the price that would be paid for his
existance and for his desires fullfilled.Hatred
and fear clung to his kind and there is no
escapeing it.*
Livia
Du'Prae
Her head tilted and as she went to answer a
question she felt herself stammer as the next
question and the next came from his lips, her
expression darkened and became so torn she closed
her eyes,shaking her head as she took a step back
yet held onto his hand as if struggling within to
understand. '' Sarrah loves me like a daughter so
in time she would understand and accept I love
you and your apart of my life she just has to
cause I can't seem to see life without you,you
have such an effect on me. What you are does not
change who you are,so I do not think she would
harm you for fear of losing me,yet I would be so
torn apart if she tried to kill you or you
her. '' I love you both,and I think I know no
matter how painful that if she didnt understand I
would have to leave my home''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*At this he looks down to you and arches a brow
ever so slighty,finding your words some what
unexpected.*You asked of my heart in exchange
for what I want of you,but what if I was un able
to give my heart?What if that was the one thing
no matter how much I wish to give it I could not?
What would you do them,my Lady Du'Prae?
*Slowly he turns to face you more
directly,his voice was still calm and soft.The
twinkle having left his eyes a while ago remains
gone but the feeling of him searching your very
being only increases with his questions as he
looks into your eyes.*Would you curse me a
bastard and run from me?Or would you sacrifice
your love to be with me,knowing my heart is not
yours?You say you would choose me if you had
to,yet you dont know what I am yet.You may cower
in fear and try killing me yourself when you
learn,so how can you say you would leave with me?
*There was no mocking or cruelty in his
voice,simple the facts as to the situation.As
much as he would take you away he knew better
than to dream such would work.*
Livia
Du'Prae
Her jade eyes gazed up at
him,searching him as he spoke his words she
sighed deeply, a tear began to fall once
again,for she brought to her mind all that he had
spoken of changing fate. she moved closer her
eyes never leaving his as she let her hand caress
his cheek lovingly,so cold to the touch she
nodded. '' You are dead somehow your dead and
have come back,tis why your cool to the touch.
and if you did have that heart answer me one
question would you give it to me? for you know
you have as you said been working on winning my
heart as I yours. She did not falter as his stare
was intense like he searched and read her
soul. '' I would of ran yes the first
night,perhaps the second night, but I lose trac
at how many days we have been together now, but
after tonight,when I thought the poison from my
dagger was gonna claim your life before I got a
chance to tell you my feelings I knew then that
no matter what I wished to stay by your
side,perhaps you need to be jolted'' with that
said she reached down letting go of your hand and
brought her dagger to her palm as he did just
letting it sit there as she leans in whispering
in yor ear ''I would sacrifice my love and life
to be with you,even if you denied me what I know
is mine inside if you had it to give and I do not
care what you are I only care who you are,and I
know the diference maybe I would fear that which
you are but I do not fear you''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*Silence,seemingly endless silence.When he does
finally speak his words are a whisper and his
voice seems to linger within your ears*If I
was like any living man my heart would be yours
for the taking,but I am not.My heart can not be
given so freely.*Leaning close he kisses your
fore head,his cool lips agianst your skin and the
touch of his lips almost ghost like in its
gentleness.Amazing how he could seem so cold and
uncaring at times yet gentle at others.*It is
late,perhaps you should be getting back to bed
Lady Du'prae.
Livia
Du'Prae
She feels the coolness of his lips upon her
forehead,her eyes close and his words linger. she
whispers as she presses her lips to his cheek
softly. '' Then I shall give to thee mine heart
and indeed I am tired would you like to stay in
my cottage with me my thief ''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*His eyes shift to the cottage that serves as
your home and after a moments hesitations he
sighs and shakes his head.*As much as I desire
it,my Lady Du'Prae, I think it would be safest if
I didnt.*Smiling softly he then turns and
begins walking back twords the city,twords his
home,twords his haven.And as before his voice
travels back to you.*Until next time my Livia
Du'prae.*And like that he is gone,his voice
speaking your name lingering within your
ears,tugging softly at your heart.*
