Alister followed Aiden inside and closed the door behind him. The coach soon took off toward Alister’s kingdom. “Well yes I am a lord and I just happened to have gotten done securing a piece treaty with a neighboring kingdom.” A lister sighs as he sat opposite to Aiden but closer to the door. ‘Hmm something’s peculiar about this one.’ Alister thought as he waited for a response from this redhead. “I am Alister Vernon and you are?”

All Aidan did was hum. There's wasn't to much to say beside, ' good job.' Aidan brushed his bangs over his eyes again and fixed his hood. He could say why he was going with this man, he could hide our just fine on his own, the the wantings were catching up to him. I guess about killing 50, sooner or later your face will be everywhere. " so why did you invite me... most people already know who I am... a travler you can pay to kill... so why throw an offer out like that...?"

“You are much like me...in a way.” Alister says looking like he was glad to have company like he didn’t get to talk to anyone different or new for a long long time. “I can tell you hate rats in an heirarchy that’s supposed to help the people and not just the top of the food chain...more like to help those in need but I can’t seem to fix what I have sowed and so I need an outsiders help.” . ‘Good make him think like I’m very different from the rest of the vampires.’ Alister thought as he looked out the window of the coach on his side watching the trees slowly go by now as they left the village behind.

Aidan smiled and then laughed. “ I’m sorey to say I just don’t believe that! “ he smiled. “ I did save your sorry ass, but only cuz I knew you didn’t do this crime... so I have no idea why you really told me to come, but it’s not for that stupid reason you seemed to make up on the spot...” he waved him off and smiled slightly. “ so don’t lie to me, it’s easy to see a lier if you look hard enough...”

Raven watched the supposed “ vampire” and brave redhead walk away. She was in shock, she had always wished to be brave enough to do something like kill the priest,she could kill other people no problem sure, but not the priest. These men mystified her and before she knew it they’d be off in a flash and she’d never see them again. She couldn’t let that happen she needed to know more. Stealthily and quietly she followed them listening to their conversations. The red head seemed very smart and prepared to the kill the pale man any second. As the got into a carriage she sweared under her breath and tried to figure out how she could follow them. Finally she came up with a plan. She quickly jumped on to the rim of the carriage and held on tight as the carriage started to move , as it did so she slowly started to lift herself onto the body of the carriage which was much more comfortable. She grinned noticing they were leaving the village, it was the best thing yet.

“That’s fine don’t believe me but when you see my kingdom you’ll know I’m sick of this life I’m living.” Alister says with a sigh and continued to watch as the trees moved by. ‘Well I’ve atleast got him here and going to my kingdom so I couldn’t ask for more than that.’ “Well if you really are a traveler that gets paid to kill your technically with the mercenary guild...am I right? Or are you with the assassin’s guild?” Alister asks wondering why someone would just go and murder a priest out of the blue like that.

“ nether... I’m just well know that is you want someone dead come to me... I go by a different name as a killer and then myself... simple enough... and catching me... well I don’t stay in one place to long and most people that have almost caught me were stabbed with a poisonous dagger... so I really make sure my work stays away from my life... been doing it long enough to know...” Aidan sighed and looked out the window. He didn’t mind saying that much, but after that he wasn’t realky going to talk.

“Really well then I’m in the presence of an interesting character such as yourself. Honestly I need to hang around more people because I’m getting bored and there’s really not much for a lords life as one might expect...I might just abdicate the throne and leave.” Alister says sighing like he really wanted more in life. ‘This is all true I’m bored and I’ve been thinking about this for months.’

“ your very... oblivious... while we have be talking about whatever this is, you going woman has jumped into the back of your couch and is listening to every word you and I are saying. I would gladly kill her... but I did my work for today so... if you want anything done about your pest problem I would kill it... “ he lean back with his arms behind his head.

((I’m sorry this is so short.))

“Oh I have plans and yes I know she is there.” Alister laughed and he nocked 4 times on the wall next to Aiden and a guard could be heard getting up at that moment and a sword being unsheathed.

Guard with short sword: “what are you doing up here?” The guard asked in a commanding voice to the girl uptop.

Raven’s eyes widened when the voice she recognized as the redhead said he knew she was there. “ H..how.” She mumbled to herself , she listened to the rest of their conversations before jumping up to her feet,when a guard apperead right next to her. She wasn’t sure how to reply to his question , she couldn’t think of a lie, and she really had no reason to be there. Frantically looking around she kicked the guard hard in the shin and threw him off the moving cart and onto the road, breathing frantically she looked back. The guard seemed to be on the ground unconscious.

Aidan smiled and laughed. “ She has a good kick eh? To bad that won’t really get you anywhere...” he mumbled something else before resting his head back. “ now, why do you want me to come with you... I want the truth, not some bullshit ok?”

Alister Opened the door to the coach and climbed up top. He then summoned a long sword that flew out from under Aiden’s feet without hurting him. “Who are you and why are you on top of my coach?” Alister says putting on a defensive stance. The second soldier driving the coach slowed down to a stop. He looked up to see his lord standing there instead of his companion and then he looked off to the side seeing his friend unconscious way far back. He got up running over to the soldier sheathing his friends sword. He then brought his friend over to the coach and set his friend next to where he usually sits.

Aidan sighed and crawled into the front. “ you need to stop the bleeding if you want his brain to not in flat... “ he took his jacket off and ripped one of the sleeves off, rapping it around the guys head. “ looks like he broke his leg... “ he jumped out of the couch, grabbed a straight stick and wrapping it around the legs leg with the other part of his jacket. He checked the mans pulse before opening his bag and pulling a pair of gloves out. There were a dull red with a few dials and buttons on it. He pushed some buttons and played around with it till he turned it on. It flowed a dull green and he waved it over the mans head and the bleeding stopped right away. He put his gloves ahead and took the bloody rap off, ripped off a clean part of it, grabbing a water bottle he had, he pours some water on the rip fabric and started to clean the blood off the mans face. “ there... keep an eye on him...” he finished and moved back to his set.

Raven watched the so called “vampire lord” surprised he had jumped up to the top, and even more surprised by the sword that appeared. She looked around trying to think , she really had no explanation for being here, so she stayed silent. Holding her pocket knife in her hand just in case. It was nothing compared to his sword, but it was a weapon.
