Some would say she had lost, but those who said that were stupid and lacked the capacity to understand her detailed plan. Yes her sister had returned to Arthur and told him that she was the real Gwenevere not the one he currently thought was his queen. Oh how the king’s face twisted in shock. It was quite amusing. Before anything could happen, Guinevere ran away, her belly already growing with the pathetic kings spawn. That had been seasons ago, now the rightful heir was grown and his lust for death and blood almost equaled her own. She loved her Vortigern, he was her pride and joy, but she also hated him, for he would be able to be king and that would make her be his lessor. It was good that he did nothing without her permission and that he was only as smart as she told him to be. Made him so much easier to control. Now he was out searching for females to impregnate, and when the time came, steal her babies to add to Guinevere’s army.

Gwenevere knew that her sister was not done and Eve loved that it kept her sister up at night. Gwen even had her own welps from the pathetic king and they were raising their daughter to be the next ruler. They did not know how pathetic they seemed, Vortigern would take his rightful place, it may be years from now, but Eve was patient. Everything was going according as planned. While her minion searched, it was time for her to have some fun and bring more minions into the world. Who would be the lucky stallion? And how would she entrap him? She enjoyed pretending to be weak and helpless, it always seemed to cause the stallion to let down his guard and the pain they receive after they learn the truth always makes her giddy with excitement. Yes. She will be the perfect damsel in distress. With a wicked gleam in her eyes, the spurned princess who wanted to be queen set out to find herself a new plaything.

Oh how much fun she will have.

It had only been a few days, a few days since he had left his mother’s side yet a frown weighed heavily on his muzzle, as thoughts seemed to run through his mind. Since his father’s death she had grown so quiet and lost in her own thoughts that Alessio had grown concerned. Not that he was completely worried that something horrible would befall her, it was more of the upsetting notion of his mother’s fading happiness and there was little he could do to prevent it. Despite his arguments to stay she had insisted he go find his own happiness and Alessio all intentions to. A happy life that was the entire plan, he would find his princess someone he could love with all of his heart. She would have to be kind, loving, caring for all those around and their children. Anything that deviated wouldn’t be acceptable to him; just the mere thought of something swaying from white into grey would cause his own throat to flutter with worry.

There was already enough tragedy that had befallen him, his own siblings took after his half sister dark and twisted just as she was with her own ideals. His father, just the thought of things he had done to other creatures made him panicked, the thought of blood and death. Deep down Alessio was always worried; worried he would be like him and turn out like his own siblings.

Twisted behind the friendly smile, behind the fake idea of actually caring while waiting for the chance to manipulate others. A shudder ran down his back as he could feel his chest tighten. No, no, he wouldn’t let his life end that way, he would be there for his mother, find the right mate, live a life full of joy and happiness.

That was his plan.

Helpless, helpless, she needed to be helpless. It was an easy act to fall into, since it was her go to temperament when meeting someone new and tricking them. She looked to the river near her, there were a lot of rocks were one could become stuck. Hmmm, “Cundrie my love, please come here. I have something fun for us to do.” The rattle snake slithered out of the folds of the back fabric that was draped upon Eve’s back. Brown eyes full of wicked mischief looked at Eve, “Yeeessss Missstresss.” Cundrie knew what her mistress had in mind and it would be quite fun, but it was a pity that she would not be able to bite anyone, it was always fun to watch them wither in pain before they died. “Ssssome one comesss.” The figure was still a few miles off, but that was just enough time for the two of them to get into their places. Eve walked toward the rocks, being careful that she did not actually cause herself to be lame. She wedged her leg between some rocks and was quite stuck. Much more realistic, she thought with a smile. Cundrie slithered to the sunny rocks and coiled herself, only her head and tip of her tail were free. Time seemed to move by slowly, soon the stallion would come. Cundrie began to shake her tail and give a frightful hissing sound.

“HELP! Someone help me please!” Fake Eve began to sob and shudder as she stared at the rattle snake before her. Try as she might she could not remove her leg from the trap of rocks, “PLEASE! Someone! Anyone!” Pride for her familiar swelled in Eve, Cundrie was the perfect companion who knew Eve’s mind almost as well as Eve. The plan was for Cundrie to be scared off by the stallion and slither to the lands Eve had claimed for her own a few moon turns back. The rattlesnake was not a needy familiar, which was good or Eve would have killed her ages ago.

A tightness started to grow in his chest as his anxiety rose, just the mere thought of blood splattered across the ground made his heat beat fast. It wasn’t so much he feared blood but the thought of someone perishing in front of his eyes again, the thought of having a life so easily taken away and the thought of guilt lingering over ones soul. The noise of rasping breathes, the laughter, the gurgling, and the bitter words of excitement escaping from other lips. It was like a nightmare playing over and over again, and he was drowning sinking as fast a rock to the bottom of the deep black waters.

Alessio violently shook his head as he tired to shove the feelings and memories out of his mind, he would not end that way he will never let anything like it happen again. It would all be perfect, happy, sweet full of smiles ending.

Taking a few deep breaths of air Alessio nodded and started towards the banks of the river for a drink as the sound of someone in distress rang through the air. Looking around Alessio picked up his pace, where they drowning? Was someone being attacked? Skinwalker?

Blood. Death. Doom?

He could feel the panic starting to ache in his chest again as he picked up his pace even faster as he caught sight of something moving along the rocks. “HERE HERE, WHAT WHAT IS WRONG?” There was no hesitation from him as Alessio stepped out onto the rocks paying no attention to the fact that one simple mistake in footing would cause him to injure his own self.

Her breathing had become ragged, and her constant pulling on her stuck leg caused scratches to appear. She winced in pain but ignored it as she concentrated on the snake before her. Yes someone was here, she would be safe. The distant wicked part of herself smiled, oh how easy it was to catch a stallion. “SNAKE!” The word burst out of her mouth in a hiccup cry, “I am stuck and cannot get free! Please help me. I don’t want to die.” She was able to get a good look at him then, he was an attractive stallion, he was mostly brown, except for his legs, which were white. He had a little brown dot on his nose surrounded by white; it almost reminded her of a hound. Well it was fitting, he was to be her pet after all. “Please help me.” Cundrie rattled her tail even harder and began to turn in the direction of the stallion. Mistress had caught herself an interesting specimen, yesss. The snake knew her role and would play it well, soon it would be up to her mistress to take the stallion as her play thing. It was usually a simple matter, since Guinevere was an attractive mare and stallions did not look beyond her fake persona, well not until it was too late.

Looking over the mare and to the rocks he saw her leg pinned deep into the rocks as she struggled trying to tug it out. There was the quick notice of her beauty; even in her rather scared state she was still rather lovely in appearance. The faint smell of blood rose in the air as the rocks cut into her leg as she kept trying to tug, as he quickened his pace trying to get over the other rocks. It wasn’t until she yelled snake that Alessio quickly froze as he looked over not seeing the snake until its tail rattled in its warning. Franticly searching around he tried to find something that was the size he could pick up and throw at it.

Noting a small rock he picked it up with his teeth and slung it at the snake, “SHOO GET OUT OF HERE.” He grew closer to it snorting as he tried stamping his hooves, he wasn’t sure with all the rocks if the vibrations would even reach it. There was more of a concern if it tried to slither its way even closer to the stuck mare.

She was definitely getting better at acting, it also helped that most stallions were complete idiots and so easy to manipulate. “Please be careful!” He picked up a rock with his mouth and tossed it at the snake, it did not make the snake leave, instead it made it angrier. Guinevere could see how the snake slithered into attack mode, but then the shifting rocks made it pause. It’s balance was not as great as it had been just a few moments before. It’s eyes glared at the stallion and mare before it slithered off into the rocks, away from the loud stallion and crying mare. Cundrie smiled to herself, now it was up to mistress to do the rest.

The mare gave a sigh of relief when the snake vanished, “Thank you so much, I don’t know what I would have done. I was so terrified.” She looked down at her leg, there were quite a bit of long gashes that bled freely. “Oh I don’t feel so well.” She began to sway and color drained from her face.

After the first rock or so being tossed at the snake it moved slithering closer its head posed in a look of annoyance. Alessio’s ears flattened, there was no doubt the snake was not willing to leave however after a few moments of concerned passed the snake left. One threat was dispose he thought looking back at her with a friendly grin on his face to reassure her.

Getting closer he looked down at her leg before watching her body start to sway, “No no no.” He whispered under his breath as he rushed to her side, if she fell over she would at least collide into his side versus onto the rocks. The last thing he needed was to try to keep a mare from bleeding and drowning all at once if she fell completely down.
