[Natsunaine]

Melissa couldn't help to smile when Volke had informed her that he was intending on staying for at least he night. Her stomach had a weird feeling, What was this? She had certainly no recollection of the feeling before, and if she felt it before she sure as hell forgot it. Nevertheless, Satisfied with the answer she had received the women began to turn to get comfortable but was quickly stopped by Volke continuing and answering her question about his parents earlier.

Though it was a bit unsatisfying it was an answer not that the fact that it was still an answer eased her mind at all, It just seemed to keep her awake. It wasn't long before she heard Volke curl up on his bedroll close to her after the conversations stopped, and not long ago before she had thought he had fallen asleep.. Melissa simply laid in the dark cave with her eyes closed, Letting the events of the day and other thins run through her head..

Not long after she closed her eyes Melissa fell into a deep sleep, Hell, and arch demon could run through the cave and she would still be sleeping with drool running down the arch of her face.. It seemed that the time she was asleep was only minutes as she opened her eyes and looked about the cave.. Volke was still asleep, Melissa laid her head back down and closed her eyes thinking that it really had only been a few minutes..

But, soon enough she heard movement behind her, It was Volke he had stood up and made his way to the door and began pacing but why? Melissa kept the coy act going that she was asleep, so that the man wouldn't stop just to act straight around her and soon enough she vaguely heard a line from him "Why did I do that?"..

Melissa's mind instantly went into and endless pool of thought. Why did he do what? What was he disappointed in? It was then man hit the wall and had a look of confused anger on his face.. Ofcourse, he was upset that he saved the mage, after all she was the reason he was no longer a Templar.. After all it was her fault his life was ruined..

She had to leave, Yeah, that was the only way she would be able to help the Templar stay happy. That was the only way he could go back to having a life, She would just run away and return to Kirkwall and turn herself into the circle, She was sure they would just make her go back into training as long as she kept her tail under the cloak spell.. Yeah, that's what she had to do.. To save another life she had to sacrifice her own.. She was more and willing to do this... It was the least she could do to make up for the past mistake she made so long agao..


After a while the Templar walked to the other side of the cave away from the door spouting some lines to himself that she could barely hear, Probably about how stupid he was for not killing her or something.. Melissa silently stood and without a second thought grabbed her staff and casted the cloaking spell she knew so well and silently headed out of the door, Though little did she know as the door closed behind her it slammed and was loud enough for the Templar behind her to hear.


As she made it outside, she dropped the cloaking spell noticing the Dark spawn had long since vanished from the area, her next place to go was the circle at first she walked at a slow pace towards the larger city, that was until she noticed an confused looking elf running towards her, Yep, It was Volke.

Tears fell from the woman's eyes as she took off in full sprint toward Kirkwall, She was going to make it there she was going to give the elf a better life, He deserved one she did not. She-.. Before she could finish her thought she glanced down to noticed her legs weren't moving, She couldn't cast a spell? Wait.. What was going on? The women frantically looked around only to noticed an arrows skillfully placed next to her foot..

Fuck, She had once again been caught by Volke's deadly accuracy and Templar ability, she had been caught, and by her own gift none the less... She could hear the mans steps getting closer and closer her tears falling faster and faster and faster. Melissa instantly came up with a lie. "Leave me alone, I hate you.. I don't want anything to do with you! I just want to be alone to live my life in the circle!"

Yeah, Volke had been around her enough to give her a look that she recognized as the 'there is no way in hell I am believing that lie'look as he came face to face with her, and soon enough he spouted something similar to that in a bit of anger that she would lie to him in such a situation.

She began shutting down.. What was she going to say? what was she going to do? Hey Volke, I know you want me dead so you can have a good life, So I am going to the circle.. Ya, that would go over so swimmingly. Melissa was quickly snapped out of thought as the man looked at her as if he were about to speak, again, He was questioning her and what she was thinking.. Ya she saw that coming.

At this point she was stunned and thought she might as well explain. "This morning when you got up and started pacing around, I was already awake, trying to fall back asleep myself, That is when I over heard you saying something to the affect of. Why did I do that?.. I got scared.. I thought you regretted saving me keeping me alive, because it ruined you life.. So I thought I would turn myself into the circle and clearing your name.."
