Dark auburn curtains that blow in the wind, making the folds seem like skeletal dancers in the night. Black carpet, old, ripped wallpaper, a large bed covered in draping silk, blood red comforter, red pillows. One desk in the corner of the room, parchment, a pen and a battered notebook lay on top.
Please knock, and welcome to this macabre setting.

Isabelle went over to her door and opened it, slightly flustered to see Lance there. She hadn't seen him since the fight, and she instinctively rubbed the place where Claw had cut her throat, but it was brand new skin by now. She leaned on the door frame and looked at him. She sighed and moved aside to let him in.
"Come in, yes, I'm all right."

Isabelle went to the darkest corner of her room and leaned against the wall, looking Lance up and down. His darkish, side swept hair was musky from the day's earlier fight, his eyes looking around the room still. He seemed to be perfectly fine, completely healed from any wound he might have received. She was staring at him now,and felt a sensation in her throat and chest. Did she need to feed? No, that was an urgent and intensely determined feeling that took up every moment of her time. This feeling, this feeling was different. It was a gentle flutter in her chest. Her heart hadn't beat in over two hundred years, but now it felt as if it had come alive once again.
She turned and looked at the floor. She couldn't feel like this, it wasn't supposed to work that way! Yet, there he was.

Lance saw her staring at him,she seemed strange."Everything ok?"He asked as he said as he walked over towards her.ZThe bags under his eyes have long since been gone,and he was feeling more energetic then ever so he made it over to her pretty quickly.

Isabelle reluctantly pressed against the wall behind her as Lance came forward. He was standing so close that she began to breathe faster, her newfound feeling became a fleeting pound in her chest and stomach. He seemed to be actually wondering what was wrong, which was a new epiphany for one like her. Suddenly, she longed to lean forward to meet his lips with hers. And so, she pressed more determinedly into the wall. Slowly and reluctantly, the feeling began to ebb, but it never faded.
This couldn't do.
"Yes, I-I'm fine, Lance." her voice making his name into music.

Isabelle could hear his heart beating, just like hers. She straightened, pulling away from the wall and when she did, there was barely any space between Lance and herself. She felt an unfamiliar blush rising in her face, the feeling to kiss him had returned, and stronger this time. And stronger, meant harder to resist.
"Lance, I..." she began and didn't know how to finish. What if he didn't think of her that way? What if she kissed him now, and then he would gasp in disgust and turn away? Never to return?
She couldn't think of that now, it made her want to cry. She hadn't felt like this in centuries. And memories of him now made her draw away slightly, but then, she didn't want to.
"Lance, this is just so confusing." a single tear threatening to break. Oh, the perils of a centuries old heart.

With a small sigh he said."I understand.."He said trying to smile as he turned as if to walk away.

"No, Lance!" she caught his hand as he turned to leave. He froze, and she pulled him closer to her. The sensation was too strong.
She looked deep into his icy eyes, fear and excitement bubbling in her eyes. She leaned in closer, her gaze on his lips now. Her mouth met his in brief moment, she pulled away after a few seconds and waited for his reaction. She was biting her lip nervously as she stayed still. Maybe he was so still from surprise and remorse? She couldn't discern.
She left a whisper of space between his chest and hers. She waited for his reaction. And feared it at the same time.

Lance's pale face bloomed with color as she kissed him."You...like,me like that."Lance said only on few occasions when he was alive so he did not have to much confidence.He did like her,HE LIKED HER!!He watched her s she seemed to be nervous right now.

Isabelle instantly looked into his eyes and saw it. He did like her, and she him. But this was dangerous. No matter if she quit her job now, they would always be after her. They would never stop hunting the assassin who had killed their beloved queen. Never.
She broke away and walked to her bed, gathering her bearings with one hand on her stomach, the other keeping her from falling over and fainting. This was just too complicated. And yet, she desired it more than anything else. Desired him.
"Oh, Lance. This is so complicated. I do..... I want to...... but I can't," she gushed to him, her old style of talking making the words sound like a Shakespearian speech, "They will never stop hunting me."
The last line was more for herself, but she knew he had heard it. And yet he hadn't reacted. And so, yet again, Isabelle waited for Lance's response.

Lance rested his hand on her shoulder."I already told you I understand..."He said regrettably.He liked her alot,but he couldn't control,he never could control anyone.If she didn't believe this could work;then thats how she felt and he knew he could never change her mind.

Isabelle immediately knew what he meant.
"NO! Lance, I did not do such a bold gesture just to turn you away! It has been such a long time since I have felt in such a way! Please..." she begged him, trying to hold onto him closely. To keep him with her forever.
((I'm not gonna be able to get on until Thursday, so... please be patient. don't worry, it's SUPER hard for me so you won't feel bad. jk jk ^^))
