Re: Once Upon A Kidnapping

It amazed me that she didn't ask what my decision was and pull her shirt down more. I really wanted to see. It was hard not to look. They were... big. And... round. And... they looked nice in her dress.

I shook my head to snap out of the trance. "W-What happened?"

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 2:56 pm

"Um... i-it's just that the baby moved a little today and I'm trying not to get too attached. It's like once you know it's real you just get... more excited. I mean... I do." I didn't like talking about the baby with him, he didn't care. It wasn't like he cared anyway if he was willing to take my life and deprive a child of a mother. T^T

"Ah..." I frowned some and sighed. "That's a normal reaction... I mean, it's your baby after all." I said softly. I almost wanted to feel, but it wasn't my concern, nor was it my baby. she hated me anyway though and seemed to believe I didn't have a conscience. She definitely didn't want me touching her. "Well, it's good that the baby is healthy. I was almost afraid you were walking too much, but I guess you're not." I got up and went to the cabinet where I used to keep my beer, then remembered she'd hidden it all... so I just settled for milk.

"I was kind of hoping it would disappear so it would be easier." I was trying not to cry, "I know that sounds so selfish and horrible but I'm scared and I don't want to go through this but I can't just give up either." I couldn't find the right words to describe how I was feeling. "But now I'm getting bigger and it's more real and it's not going to go away. Does poison... kill slowly or quickly?"

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:08 pm

I shrugged. "It depends on the poison... but you don't need to worry about that. Just focus on your baby." Poison... hmm... was there a poison that could fake death? >.>

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:15 pm

That was easy for him to say, "Okay..." I nodded slowly, he was always so frowny and sad but he was an assassin, he spent a lot of time killing people. I looked back at him and tried to study his face and see if I could pick up what he was thinking by his body language.

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:22 pm

I glanced back at her. She was taring at me again. I felt like I needed to tell her something... but I couldn't remember what it was... but it was important.

Anyway.... poisons... the Icerus plant induces a death-like sleep, but that sleep can last for up to a year. I didn't know the antidote for it. Who was an herbalist nearby? Carsy? No... Lillian? No... Zoran? No he moved... no wait, no, he moved back into town last month! Aha! He was a good herbalist. Surely he could help me. I smiled suddenly. I might have found a way out! I'd talk to him tomorrow.

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:24 pm

"A-Anyway, I'm going to take a nap I suppose..." I got up and put the mug in the sink. "If you need me I'll just be resting a little bit." I got tired of staring, I wasn't finding out anything from watching him. >_<;

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:37 pm

I nodded some. "Do you need another blanket, or a warmer jacket or something? It's a lot colder now." I asked softly.

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:39 pm

Normally I denied things because I was being shy and nervous but today I nodded, "Yeah, I'm a bit chilled today." I said being honest, "Thank you." I faced him and gave a big, gentle smile.

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:43 pm

I smiled back and patted her head. "Have a good nap." I said, feeling nice at the moment.

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:44 pm

He patted my head? That was so confusing, he was always confusing me and I was frustrated but I kept smiling and kissed his cheek. "I will."

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:51 pm

She kissed my cheek? I looked at her, pretty surprised. I did not expect a cheek kiss. I touched her hair briefly but pulled my hand away a minute later. I felt like... I shouldn't do that. Like I didn't yet have the right to touch her that way. I cleared my throat awkwardly. "Would you... um... like to go into town with me? Then you can pick out the warmer clothes for yourself."

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:13 pm

"I thought I wasn't allowed to do that." I was confused because he was always telling me to stay where I was as if I'd get him in trouble.

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:19 pm

"Well, we're already in town. We're just walking to the market, and they're all assassins. Part of the code, is that you can't kill another person's target... which, technically you're still my target because I don't know how to fake your death. Number two, is you belly will protect you here. I just don't want you going somewhere alone.." I went into the room where the beds were and came out with an old jacket of mine and draped it over her shoulders.

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:21 pm

"Oh okay." I was glad I could get out and look at things myself a little, I appreciated that and it made me smile. "Thank you, I'd love to go to town then." The jacket was warm and instantly made the cold chills go away.

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:27 pm

Alright then... let's go." I said and opened the door with a small smile. I wasn't sure why I was smiling. But hers was pretty, and I guess maybe it was contagious. "We'll go buy the clothes first so you can get warmer. Then I have to go by the herbalist shop."

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:29 pm

My stomach literally dropped when he mentioned that and I nodded slowly, "Oh, alright." That really meant one thing and he was probably getting the poison ready. He was acting nice but that didn't mean he was okay with me. I had four months to make myself perfect.

I didn't see the point in getting new clothes... except that these were getting really tight and uncomfortable.

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:35 pm

She looked pretty glum and I frowned some. I guessed maybe she didn't like snow? "Ah, yeah... but, I saw they had some pretty things here," I said, opening the door, "So I thought you might like to have them.... and buy the fabrics you like so when the baby comes you can make... uh... it(?) something to wear."

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:45 pm

"What do you mean? How long are you keeping me after the baby is born?" I asked in surprise, "I thought you were killing my right after..." I was mentally preparing myself to die on my child's birthday and he was talking about something completely different.

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:47 pm

"Hmm?" I stared at her. Didn't she know I wasn't going to kill her...? >.>

"Ah... until you die or something? I don't know what your natural lifespan is..." She probably forgot... >.>

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:50 pm

I stopped him and turned to face him directly, "What are you talking about? I've been spending the past three months trying to make myself perfect so you won't kill me, all the pains and aches I have I hide because I don't want you to hate me. I've been ignoring giving my baby attention so I don't get attached... and you weren't planning on killing me the day she arrives?" I felt a little bit shocked and confused.

I didn't trust his drunk state or else I would have known this. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:52 pm

"Hmm... I had planned on telling you yesterday... I didn't tell you yesterday?" I frowned. "I thought for sure I did... maybe I forgot..."

**Ikuar** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:54 pm

"Th-That's kind of important information..." I ran my fingers through my hair and turned away to think for a moment. He wasn't going to kill me... "But doesn't that mean...?"

**Jayrin** Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:58 pm

"I have to fake your death and I could be brutally murdered if he ever finds out? Yes... that's exactly what it means. You'll have to move to a new kingdom." I looked around at all the fancy dresses and wondered why she was just standing there thinking about morbid things rather than buying clothes.
