I felt drained as Daniella released herself from me. Finally I was able to breathe again, more relaxed than I had been in ages. Carefully, I heped Daniella out of the tub, wrapped her in a thick towel and sat her on teh edge of the tub. With another towel I dried her, beginning with each toe and working my way upwards. When I reached her face, she tilted her head so her cheek rested in my hand. Her eyes were closed in trust and I soaked up teh last droplets of water from her face. She was beautiful. I gave her the robe hanging on the door. "Perhaps we should join the others?" I suggested.

 

[intriguess]

you read my mind

"you read my mind, and hope there are some fresh clothes around this place. not that i mind walking around in just a towel...." I trail off smiling as he continues drying me with a puppy dog grin. an expression i hadn't seen in a long time and sorely missed.

"they probably think we've turned into raisins."

In the bedroom, we found some clothes in the closet. Rancia and Daniella were about the same size, so it was a good fit. I found some lounge type cotton pants and pulled them on. These would do until my jeans dried. I had spotted a dryer in the hall and thrown them in. Who needs a shirt anyway? "How's this?" I asked.

daniella

"ummmm if there weren't pressing issues i'd take you and toss you on bed and start again." i murmur hands running up and down your chest. "but this Horton fellow needs to be stopped the killings avenged. Personally I'd like to have just chop off his favorite head...but that would probably just make him worse."

I wander the streets near the apartment. Should I stay away or should I try to help them...if they are going up against Horton I have some contacts that could at least point them in the right direction...

I caught Daniella's hands in mine and kissed the fingertips. "I will take you up on your offer, later." I promised. Horton was on the agenda. I was unsure how we would proceed. "Let's go see what the others have in mind."
She started out ahead of me, but I caught her by the arm and turned her around, drawing her in very close. I looked slightly down into her eyes at this range. "Promise me that whatever happens, you will be careful."

 

[Samuari]

we start to gather in the liveing room

"So far we know that who ever did this crime is a not an imortal, and that they knew that Daniella's birthday party was set for yesterday. The MO is Horton's, but he is su[osed to have died in Paris 2 years ago. We also know that there was at least one Watcher on to us, but he was rescued before we got any real information form him."

daniella

"should we warn others?"

OOC should i do casting call for more immortals and etc?

 

[Samuari]

OOC: Sure, I think that we can get on with the story some before an orgy at the estate.

 

[tighe]

stefan

"What do you suppose happened to the person who brought the basket?" I wondered.

 

[BookDragon]

Dragon

ooc: mind if i jump in again?

ic: well it never hurts to try again I tell myself. I can at least give them what ever help i can, that basket wsan't such a good idea in retrospect...

I knock on the door...

 

[intriguess]

tingling in head alerting me i snag my sword and slink to door, opening it slowly seeing red headed vixen...she looked familiar, "come in" i ask keeping sword in sight but at rest

 

[BookDragon]

Dragon

Wow. These people sure are sure of themselves, i think to my self as the door opens to a woman holding her sword inn plain view. The last one just hid it behind the door frame.
Thank you i say as i enter the apartment You must be Daniella?
She seems slightly confused as i use her given name and closes the door.
Samuri said this was your apartment last night when i droppped in unexpectedly. Nice place. i pause. Are you looking for Horton?

 

[tighe]

stefan

"Well, speak of the devil." I said to Samauri as Daniella opened the door to the immortal from last evening.

 

[Samuari]

I truned and saw the lovely young imortal from last night standing in the door.

"Ahh yes, you're the one who left with the watcher we'd captured. Perhaps you would like to explain what you did with him and why you did it?"

Muffin sure is taking her own sweeet time coming out to join us. I hope everything is ok.

stefan

I watched as the other immortal came into the cozy living room. Daniella followed her back in, then joined me, sitting on the arm of the large chair which I occupied. Absently I stroked her lower back while waiting on the explanation.

 

[BookDragon]

Dragon

after being escorted into the living room by daniella i sit in one of the comfy looking chairs facing the two immortals who are already there and answer Samuri's questions...
well, to start off the watcher you had wasn't really a watcher, it was his first night on the job and second he is dead. I was told to get him and bring him back to headquarters, which i did, but when I went there this morning I found his body inside the front gates.
I have found it quite convinient to keep ties with the Watchers, it allows me to know whos in town and how bad they are. So I do them a favor once in awhile but this time it was to pay back a debt.
I came back this morning in part to apoligize for breaking in last night and second to tell you that Horton isn't dead. He is alive and in town. Do you want my help?

 

[Samuari]

Was it Horton who was responsable for the massacre at Dannellia's home? And where do we find Haorton? I have a score or two to settle there, regardless.

 

[intriguess]

daniella

i try to quiet the tears as memories of that time come back unbidden concentrating on stefan's warm fingers idly moving along my back. i am unable to speak knowing i'd probably just want to whack her head off for not telling me sooner and depending on her skill level might rage might just get me killed.

 

[Samuari]

OOC: Due to some other things that are happening in my life, I will not participate in any sexual role play, untill I get some things worked out. This has nothing to do with any of the folks on this thread, I poeted more details on the general board at: http://www.literotica.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=16732 If this is a problem, some one get pissed at me and whack my head off. lol Thanks for your understanding.

daniella, I am sorry for what happened at your home. I know that sounds like little enough to say but I am sorry for what Horton has done to you...to all of you. I have been helping the watchers track him down for about a year and a half now. I have mostly been used as a decoy but he hasn't fallen for it yet. We also thought he was dead after Paris but we found out too late he wasn't. I don't know his exact location but he has been seen several times in the downtown district.
i rub my hands over my legs feeling dirty just speaking about Horton. after what he has done to so many immortals and to their loved ones. It sickens me to even think about it. my elbow bumps into my sword reminding me i shouldn't get too comfortable. i don't know these people and they have no reason to trust me. i am VERY good with my sword but i don't like to kill...though i will make an excepion when it comes to Horton.

 

[intriguess]

OOC samuri, i understand when i'm in a serious relationship my participation in things like this changes. good luck

"Does anyone know how to track a man down? I've had luck tracking immortals down. But never been on a manhunt. I don't even know how to shot a gun." I slide down so I'm sitting in Stefan's lap drawing on his strength.

 

[BookDragon]

Dragon

perhaps he will come to us? We might want to warn other immortals in the area that Horton is still around. Do you have contact with anyone else in town?

[Samuari]

ooc: I thnink that there is a "Casting call" out.

Daniella slid down into my lap as Dragon spoke. I knew she was upset again about the proceedings from her home. What I did not like was the willingness with which Dragon shared this knowledge. I did not like that she was connected so closely with the watchers and Horton. We all know now that evil follows Horton. Every instinct I had told me to walk away. But could I without Daniella. This matter needed some serious thought. And where was Muffin? Had she already fled? I know longer sensed her around. I rested my hand on Daniella's thigh. Somehow I hoped to convey to her that we should leave. We could not help those already dead, and revenge usually dot someone killed. I prayed she would choose to come with me.

OOC: Good luck, Sir Sam. I think you make valid points. Some we could all consider. I am out of town until Tuesday or Wed. Sorry to all with whom I participate. Thanks,
Tighe
