The next morning Ariel was up early and started getting dressed. She was a touch jittery, but for once it wasn't because she needing to be with Nathan... Ariel was still irritated by her reaction to the young man who came up to her in town.While distracted as she was she didn't notice that Nathan was moving slowly.Nathan really hadn't been sick before so he had no idea while his body felt so achy all over. Again he tried to use white magic to heal himself, but it wasn't working and he had no idea. He smiled to see the blood. Good. It was his job to hurt her, he wanted to hurt her, she deserved the pain and he was the one to inflict it. His strokes were savage.There was nothing to her world but pain now. It throbbed through her, lay over her like a blanket and at regular intervals that always came too soon and seemed as if they would never come the pain blazed up again in a sudden overwhelming intensity. By some cruel trick she still felt each tip bite her flesh at each stoke. The pain. Jack planted his foot squarely in one mans face sending him to the ground in pain. Jack grabbed the other one as the man tried to tackle him. Jack placed him in a headlock squeezing his arms tightly around his neck. The man flung his arms wildly until they dropped to his side not moving. Get her out of here Janet, Jack yelled his eyes glaring at Janet. JACK BEHIND YOU, I yelled as the one he had tossed against the bar charged at him from behind. Janet ran with me out the back door. As the door. I was having quite a day and so my response was swift. "Why yes I am but unfortunately I do not have much time right now to discuss it but if you'd like to see the place drop by around seven." I then proceeded in giving the girl directions to my home. She said that seven was great for her and that she looked forward to meeting me.I thought nothing more on the subject since I had more pressing things on my mind-namely Susan my fiancee. it seems that Susan had grown bored with the way her life.
