| Re: The War Begins
Vayne walked outside to see someone running at Meka. He went to reach for her and he yelled out. He grabbed her and pulled her back inside. He rushed her to the back of the pub. Holding onto Meka's hand he looked back at her. She looked so much like her, but he knew it was not her. He put her in a hidden doorway and told her to wait there. "I'll come back for you later." He then turned and walked back to where they came from. As he walked out he seen someone out of the corner of his eyes. He glacned at her quickly and then went on about his business.
For moments at a time Vayne would daze off and think about what happened outside the pub. What would a soldier of Calamar's want with her? She looks like nothing more than a woman. He thought to himself. He waited until the main drunks left the pub. "Hey Melis, watch the counter. I have to check on something." Vayne said to a older woman working. She nodded and Vayne walked back to where Meka was. He opened the hidden door and Meka was gone. He quickly looked around, but she was nowhere in sight. He rushed back to the front. With a soldier after her she won't survive long. He looked at the older woman. "Melis, I'm going to visit some family. I'll be back sometime, until then the pub is yours." Vayne walked out before Melis could say anything.
Vayne walked into the forest looking for clues that Meka might have left coming this way. He found nothing. Maybe she's smarter than I thought. Vayne smiled to himself as he thought about the different things that could happen between now and when he finally found Meka. This was what he was waiting for. Just maybe he could taste battle again and the feeling of silver and rubies in his hand and blood on his sword. |
