" Tenuul you kind of remind me of a woman who took me in when I was...four I think...she actually passed away when I was nine but I suppose I still feel like her influences on me are amazing... " she added and giggles as Tenuuls hand went up on Luneths head.. "You two are the first people Ive talked to four.... Three years"

Luneth climbed out of the water and put his now wet shirt on the ground as he changed back into a human and then ring out his silver hair. "I haven't really spoken to people either. I'm not sure if you could tell from how I reacted when you first spoke, but I haven't talked to anyone, much less a girl, in about five years. To be honest I'm glad the first person I've talked to after that period is you." Luneth looked up at her and smiled.

She smiled and giggled again. She felt a bit nervous for some reason , most likely from being around people for the first time in forever. "I'm glad it was you who I talked to first......too"

Luneth began to try to put his hair back into a ponytail on the back of his head. " this is the only part I hate about turning into a merman. It always ends up taking this thing out. Weep, could you help me with this?"

She noddedn and took the tie from him. She combed through his hair with soft delicate fingers making his hair just right before taking the part he wanted tied up and wrapped the die around it skillfully. She had done this with her own hair quite often.

"Thanks. Usually I do it myself but it takes longer." Luneth put his feet in the water and kicked them back and forth. "Lets see... What else could I turn into? At least that doesn't undo my ponytail again. Any suggestions, weep?"

She leaned over and patted his head like a dog."I think I like you a human looking thing right now...." She said blushing lightly and looked a bit flustered. "I ...I didn't mean it like uh..like that.....just um....."

Luneth laughed. "Very well then, I'll stay human. Have to wait for my shirt to dry though."

She blushed deeply and smiled . Her eyes wandered around and she giggled seeing a bird flying above. Soon she blinked feeling a cold presence. She turned her head and saw a tall man with grey skin, black hair, and dark red eyes peering at her. Her throat became dry and she coughed slightly. Her eyes turned down."w-why are you here...it hasn't been six years......you promised..." She said to the man."does it look like I care?" The man said in a raspy voice.

Luneth's hand went to the sword he kept at his belt. "Weep, who is this guy? A friend of yours?" Tenuul vanished again, seeing a possible fight.

"Oh, tsk tsk tsk. You didn't even mention me? How rude...." He said. She looked back at Luneth and fear was evident in her eyes."now pet...why don't you tell the nice man who I am......?" "M.....master......"

"Master? As in teacher? Or possibly..." Luneth drew his sword and stood in front of weep. "That you and this man aren't on the best of terms?"

She looked at him and nodded. "W-we arent........" "Oh come now pet...are you really having a boy do the dirty work.......you know what I want so why dint you just do it instead of being punished....again." She flinched and rubbed her arm and looked down.

"If you touch her, I won't just sit back and watch. I don't care who you are, a man doesn't hit a woman and no one touches my friend!" Luneth continued to stand there defensively.

"Not only do I hurt her physically.... Also mentally.....heh. I still have the whip if that's what you want. I'll be back for you." He said and he vanished. By now a few tears were slicing down her pale cheeks. Her eyes were opened just by slits and she stared at the ground."i-I'm sorry."

Luneth sheathed his sword and sat down next to her. "Its me who should apologize. I was rude and stuck my nose into a situation that didn't have anything to do with me. But I couldn't sit back and possibly let you get hurt, because I think of you as a friend. And I wouldn't be able to live with myself if my friend got hurt and I could only watch and do nothing." Tenuul poked his head out from behind luneth's shoulder. "That is how you got stuck with me, isn't it?"

She shook her head and leaned on him for some reason and sighed. "It was my fault a long time who.....after the lady died I had to find work.......I was walking down the street and I found an odd looking house...I went inside and he was there....he noticed I was in good shape for labor...and he told me that I was his slave now....and once I was old enough he would make me his wife........." She said sighing and looked down again

"That's terrible. How did you escape? He seems like a hard person to lose." Luneth said as he kept his sword out just in case the man reappeared.

She sighed and looked away"we made a deal.....I go free in this forest for six years..I marry him..."she said and blinked feeling a hand on her shoulder she looked straight up into the eyes of the man who reappeared."you've spoken too much pet...."

Luneth stood up again. "I know whats going on now so I'm not going to feel bad then if I kill you. I'm going to free my friend now." Luneth swung his sword at the man, an odd mixture of sympathy and anger In his eyes.
