Lies and Deceit - A Fantasy RP

[HoodedHuntress]

Stephen pulled off his shoes & rolled up his pants & walked into the water. He slashed at some of the fish with his knife, killing two with one blow. He scooped them up and tossed them by his shoes, not noticing Horius on the other side of the river. He slashed at a few more fish, missing them. He took off his jacket & waited for a larger group to come over. When they did, he grabbed one with his hands & laughed surprised. "I can't believe I just caught that." Stephen said to himself. He used his knife to kill it, & watched its blood get on his hands, which he washed off in the river. He tossed the fish by his boots again, and waited for more fish to come.

Horius looked up with a solemn expression, hand on his gun, before realizing who it was. What a coincidence, he rarely returned near the cabin, and didn't have any plans to, until the day he returned and murdered everyone, except Stephen and Hector, perhaps. His expression turned amused as he spoke out loud, face still down as he wove the reeds neatly to form a brown mask, "You should look around you in this forest. There's killers out here."

Xylo began softly, "I wasn't trying to spy on you, I was just going for a walk and heard someone singing. I've never heard a voice so beautiful. So I had to stop and listen. I'm sorry, I'll leave now." He didn't know how'd she react, but he had said the truth, and he to stop. Her voice sounded like an angel's from heaven, singing alongside the harp of the cherubim and the trumpet of the seraphim. He asked quietly, not being able to contain the curiosity that gnawed away at his heart, "Who were you singing about?", preparing to be slapped as he admitted her perhaps had been around too long for her liking.

River closed her eyes for a second then opened them to look at him. "It`s fine. Thank you." She said quietly.
His next question stunned her. Had he just asked who she was singing about? What was she supposed to say? That she had just randomly ran off into the woods and started singing about him?
She blushed and glanced at the ground. "Uh, um... I was singing about," She couldn`t seem to get the words out, but manged in a bare whisper. "you."

Xylo’s eyes shifted from her down the floor, unable to hold her gaze after what’d she said. He had done all that for her? And she would do all that for him? He muttered, also unsure of what to say “You have the most...beautiful voice.” The next word came out in a stutter, as he realized how much she cared about him “Thank you. So much.” His confidence left his body as he barely managed to hold her gaze. He was extremely humbled, and such a silence from him meant just that. He finally mustered enough confidence to admit “You...look gorgeous when you sing.”

River looked up at him. "Thank you." She whispered. She wanted to say something more, but had no clue what to say. She would let him say something else- if he wanted to.

Stephen jumped, dropping f his knife in the river & flaring out his wings preparing to fly away when Horius spoke. When he saw who it was, he relaxed. "You gave me a heart attack Horius! What are you doing this close to the cabin? And-uh- how long have you been standing there?" He looked down at how wet he was. Why did Horius have to show up now? Stephen thought, retrieving his knife for the river.

Xylo didn’t know what to do...but he needed to show how much he loved her. Somehow. Some way. He whispered back “I love you. So much.” before moving her against the tree, spreading his wings over her to hide them from the outside world for a second, before staring deep in her eyes. He whispered “I don’t know what I’d do without you anymore.”

Horius responded “I’ve been here for over ten minutes. And I returned here to gather reeds, that’s all. I need a mask so the humans can’t pinpoint who I am.” He looked down at the floor, before adding calmly “How’s that hunter turned Aves doing?”

"Oh." Stephen said. "I haven't stuck around long enough to see."

River`s heart jumped. She stared into his soft brown eyes with her soft grey ones. "I love you so much too." She murmured, then added shyly. "I never thought I would start loving someone so much... So fast."

Xylo murmured quietly “Me neither. But it is this way for a reason.” With that said, he placed both of his hands under her chin, cupping her face gently as his eyes met hers, drowning in each other, finding nowhere else to go. Her eyes were so pure. There was a fire in his, of want and love. She was everything to him, and the hunger for her love was eating away at him. He slowly leaned in for a kiss, closing his eyes as their lips met. He kissed her hungrily, passionately, with a love he had never felt for anyone else.
