A young, innocent woman with well-toned muscles and shapely legs. Her skin is silky smooth and her breasts are well-formed. She typically wears a pink top which she uses to conceal her figure. She possesses a curious spirit and a sense of vulnerability that makes her both cautious yet excited by the unknown. Despite being held captive, she shows no sign of rebellion, indicating an obedient nature. While initially terrified, Sandra quickly adapts to new situations showcasing her resilience and strength of character. Her lack of knowledge about survival skills like lighting fires suggests she comes from a sheltered background but she's eager to learn and help when given the opportunity.

The innocent young woman remained still as Arved held her close to him and she could smell his rough, masculine scent. It was unlike any of the young men she knew in her comfortable existence but it was not unpleasant as it triggered thoughts and imaginings she kept locked away. Sandra's senses seemed highly attuned and she was aware of everything, perhaps fear triggering survival instincts she never needed before. Beneath the rough spun cloth of his shirt his muscles felt like steel and she already knew the strength they held. Sandra's trembling fingers also felt something else and she froze with terror. When he bent her over, hands running over her her trembling leg, her skin silky smooth and muscles well toned and shapely, Sandra fearfully wondered if this was it. Was he going to suddenly rape and abuse her like some brute? How terrifying she told herself as her heart fluttered with a mixture of fear and elicit excitement. Sandra tried to squeeze her thighs together to conceal any evidence that she might be excited by this treatment.

Suddenly it was over and the rough man freed her wrists from the rough rope and reminded her of the consequences of not 'behaving' She nodded mutely and took the simple pack, relieved and disappointed at her captor's actions. There was no sign of rebellion in the beautiful young woman as she swiftly pulled her pink top on and concealed her well formed breasts that her captor had shown little interest in. Slipping the pack over her shoulders she followed the man closely.

Sandra felt very vulnerable but also excited as she followed the man. He was tall with a powerful, masculine build that went right to her primitive core. Broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist and long powerful limbs. The surroundings were new and amazing. Familiar yet different. The forest seemed ancient with little evidence of human interference and encroachment that was so much part of modern 'wilderness' areas. The flowers were beautiful but the riot of shapes and colors unfamiliar. Sandra wanted to stop and explore but was fearful of being left alone. The man did not seem so frightening now. Perhaps he was not the type of primitive brute to force himself upon an unprotected and vulnerable woman. Perhaps he would look after her and keep her safe. Emboldened by these thoughts she asked, "What is your name sir? I am Sandra."

"Arved," he answered plainly. As he continued to lead on, a light drizzle picked up. After an hour, her pajamas, the top already stretched from its use as a gag, became translucent and sticky. The chill and wet caused her small nipples to stand firm and proud against the fabric clinging to her, trading modesty for clarity.

He led on into the verge of a forest, much deeper than the small copse he stopped at earlier. The canopy did its part to block the light rain but a mist rose throughout the floor. Through the patter of drops hitting leaves, she could make out the rolling gurgle of a stream in the distance. Here, the rain smelled fresh and clean, though without direct sun, goosebumps soon rose across her flesh. The colors here and the grasslands they crossed gave some clue to Arved's garb. Where one might expect a hunter to clad himself in greens and grays, the rusts and browns of his clothes matched closer to the riot of colors she had seen.

"We won't make it back before the night," he announced. "And we don't want to travel the ways by night. Things haunt by night." He continued deeper into the forest, toward the sound of the stream. "Come, there's shelter this way." Soon after, they reached the creek and began following it up stream. Another hour, Sandra might guess, they turn away from it and began climbing to higher ground. As the sun began to ebb, drawing long shadows across the forest floor, they reached the wide mouth of a cave. Arved took hold of his companion and turned her around to reach into the pack she carried. When he finished, she could see him duck inside. "Wait her," he admonished before lighting the torch he presumably took from the pack. He dropped his cowl before drawing the wide blade at his side and stalking onto the cave.

"Thank you Arved," responded Sandra. She looked as though she might say something else now he had shared his name with her but she could not find the words. Instead she meekly followed him through the wilderness. Her skimpy pajamas clung to her soft curves as the drizzle came down but the young girl seemed not to mind initially. There terror had worn off as her curious eyes looked this way and that to take in her exotic new surroundings. They were far more vibrant and alive than visiting national parks with family and friends. More full of life but more dangerous too. She felt small and vulnerable here and her gaze was drawn to the broad shoulders of her... Sandra was not quite sure how to frame the tall and powerful Arved in her mind. Protector? Captor? Both? It was hard to know but at least he had not shown any designs upon her except the initial rough treatment and restraints. He moved with graceful ease that belied his size and seemed to exude a raw masculinity that was intriguing.

The rain and lack of direct sunlight returned her thoughts to more personal concerns as she felt the chill. Sandra crossed her arms under her breasts as she shivered. She felt ridiculous in her pink night clothes in this cold and wild place and her bare feet were sore after walking on the rough ground but she did not complain.

Sandra stopped when instructed to and fearfully watched him go into the cave with torch and blade. Suddenly frightened to be left alone she ran after him and pulled at his forearm and cried, "Please don't leave me here!"

A few minutes later, Arved emerged from the cave mouth. "C'mon," he shrugged toward whence he came. The torch threw random light and shadows except for one area. The back of the cave seemed to suck in all the light before Arved threw it back to reveal the area as a dark curtain. As she passed it, Sandra could see it was a large, musky (to put it charitably) pelt from some black creature. Beyond it, there was a wooden panel in one side of the cave. "Hold this," Arved passed the torch to her. He threw a couple of bolts on the panel and lifted it out of the wall, revealing another chamber beyond and set it aside. "In there," he nodded.

He followed her into the side chamber and reset the panel, locking it in place from the inside. The chamber was generally round, perhaps fifteen feet in diameter, with multiple ledges and a fire pit to one side. One of the ledges looked easily large enough to sleep on and many of the others had various supplies. A rough carpet of pelts lay before the "bed." In the pit, there was a trellis of logs and kindling already laid out, as well as several beams running across the chamber about a foot above head level.

Arved unbuckled his belt and began to doff his brigandine, rebuckling and hanging them on a beam near the "bed". His wet, rust colored chemise followed, as did his boots after he sat on the bed. He gripped the furry rug with his toes before looking up to Sandra. "Is it lit, yet?"

Sandra crept into the cave behind the sure and confident Arved. Her knees trembled with fear as she thought of all the terrors that could lurk in such a dark and foreboding place. She jumped as the flame of the torch threw flickering shadows over the irregular walls of the cave, thinking they were some monster or enemies. She finally breathed a great sigh of relief as her guide or captor, she wasn't sure which, revealed the concealed chamber at the back. Sandra meekly followed him into the small chamber, sparsely furnished and with a musty smell she found a little unpleasant. Wrinkling her pretty nose Sandra took the proffered torch and looked around.

It was a strange cave to her eyes, large enough for many but sparse and uncomfortable. At least it was safer than she previously thought. Sandra had seen the fire pit but not registered the expectation that she light it. Why would she? Sandra had to replay his rough edged words in her head and realized he asked if it was lit. With an expression of open mouthed foolishness she gasped, "No... not yet. Was I supposed to?"

Trying to be helpful she rushed to light the fire and in her haste dropped the torch into the kindling as it burst into flame.


A tall, powerfully built man with broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist and long limbs. His rough, masculine scent is distinct and he moves with graceful ease that contradicts his size. He wears clothes in rusts and browns that blend well with the wilderness. Arved exhibits a raw masculinity that's intriguing, yet he doesn't show any interest in exploiting Sandra's vulnerability beyond initial intimidation tactics. His approach to survival is systematic; he checks for dangers before settling down and keeps his shelter well-organized with supplies and sleeping arrangements. Despite his gruff exterior, there's an element of care in how he handles Sandra, indicating an underlying protective nature.

A few minutes later, Arved emerged from the cave mouth. "C'mon," he shrugged toward whence he came. The torch threw random light and shadows except for one area. The back of the cave seemed to suck in all the light before Arved threw it back to reveal the area as a dark curtain. As she passed it, Sandra could see it was a large, musky (to put it charitably) pelt from some black creature. Beyond it, there was a wooden panel in one side of the cave.

A friendly and appreciative woman, as she thanks Kai multiple times for his help and agrees to go on a date with him. She has a sense of humor, evident by her giggling when talking about her manager allowing her a free day. She has hair long enough to dance against her back as she walks. She also appears to be conscious of personal boundaries, creating a barrier between herself and Kai while changing clothes at the hospital.

Adira looked over the wrapping job the nurse had done on his hand, watching her inspect her job as she tilted his hand right and left. Nodding softly to herself, the nurse placed a gentle hand against the young man's back. "Pain meds, and ice, okay?" she spoke to him, offering a warm smile before returning to Adira's side to extend a clipboard to her.

"The doctor said that you can be discharged now, so we just need your signature." she offered her a pen, holding it steady as Adira scribbled her name across the paper. The nurse nodded, gathering the pen and paper, setting them to the side of Adira's bed before removing the IV for her and returning her clothes in a plastic bag. Turning, she gripped the paper and pen together as her shoes announced her exit.

"You may get dressed and head out whenever you're ready." she spoke over her shoulder. Adira gently rubbed the back of her hand, taking note of the gauze band-aid over the small indent in her skin. She brought her body upwards, swinging her legs over the bed gently before looking at Kai. Her hand reached up, fingers curling around the curtain to sling it around, creating a barrier between them so she could get dressed privately.

Kai sighed and nodded. "G-Guess I w-won't be doing any writing anytime s-soon.." He said. He listened and watching his eyes gazing over Adira as she scribbled her name on the clipboard. He was glad she could leave breathing a sigh of relief. As the nurse left Kai watched Adira get up only to see her close the curtain. His face grew warm and slowly turned red as he realized she was changing. Turning around so he wasn't looking at the curtain. "Uh... when you are r-r-ready to l-leave... I'll d-drive y-you back to your car.." He said nervously now. The fact that she was getting changed nearby made him self conscious.

Adira took only a minute to get herself dressed before pulling back the curtain once more. She looked down at the man and grabbed her purse, wearing the same clothes as the night before. "That would be great, thank you." She replied, walking past him towards the door.

Kai nodded his head as she said it would be great and followed after her. However he realized she didn't know the way to his car so picked up the pace and led the way himself. Down to the parking garage and to his car he opened the passenger door for her and once she was in he slid into the drivers seat.

Adira tucked her legs into the car, reaching to the side as she curled her fingers around the door, pulling it to her side. She turned her shoulder towards the back of the seat, bending her elbow so her fingers could find the buckle of the seatbelt, slinging it over her chest and tummy before clicking it on her other side securely in place. "I should really be thanking you again." She muttered out under her breath, her eyes following his movements as he got into the driver's seat. "Whenever you want to go on that date, I'm game." She let the corners of her lips pull gently upwards, trying to be more cordial with the man who rescued her.

Kai clicked open the door before he got in and sat down. The click of the buckle as he got in and started the car. He heard her speak and turned to look at her as she smiled, his cheeks turning red as he saw a smile. "Oh uh... w-well... how about t-tomorrow?" He offered as he put the car in reverse and started to back out of the parking spot. "Unless you are busy."

"I actually have a free day tomorrow, believe it or not. My manager is allowing me to breathe for once." Adira giggled softly, her eyes darting around at the outside world beside her. "How about eight o'clock?" She suggested, her head barely tilting to allow her ear to pick up his response.

Kai breathed with relief as she said she was free. The corners of his lips tilting up. "Eight t-tomorrow night sounds good. I'll need your number so we can communicate." He replied. About ten minutes of driving soared by as the two made some small talk. They came back to the parking lot and he pulled up next to her car. "Well here we are. S-safe and sound, and you don't need to thank me so m-much. I just did what was right." He said gently as he pulled out his phone to exchange numbers.

Adira's fingers curled around her phone that rested in her purse, pulling it out to click the soft touch button on the side. The screen lit up, offering her finger the cue to swipe across and unlock her contact list. She lifted her phone towards him, reaching over to take his in her hands as her fingers tapped across the device, entering her ten-digit number before handing it back to him. "There you go, Kai." She found his eyes with hers, tilting her head with a soft grin.

Kai was surprised as she offered her phone but quickly understood as the two exchanged phones. He took her phone in his hands and entered his ten digit number. As he offered her phone back their eyes met and his face burned as it grew red once more. He returned her smile and gave the phone back as he gingerly took his phone back. "Alright... uh... d-drive home safe... text me when you get home..." He said gently.

"I will, thank you." Adira let her hand move freely to tilt left and right before she moved it towards the car door, pulling the small metal handle towards her before she pressed the door open, ducking her head under the roof before shutting it swiftly behind her. Her heels clicked lightly against the pavement before she picked up speed, trotting as her hair danced to and fro against her back before she climbed into her vehicle to begin her drive home.

After she made it safely into her parking spot, she got herself inside and began to wash up. She stood silently in the shower, her eyes closed in relaxation as the cascading warmth of the water touched every nerve and sore muscle her body had to offer. The dampened hair clinging to the soft framing of her face as she slicked her hair back over her head, turning her back to allow the water to massage her shoulders. The steam censored her, allowing her to bend over and grab the lilac shampoo she had come to favorite. Her soft humming carrying through the bathroom, echoing gently as her sound reverberated off the walls.

After she washed off the funk of the hospital, she stepped out onto the soft purple plush bathmat, allowing her feet to sink softly as the towel wrapped around her body. She quickly ran a hand towel of the same hue across her fingers, her eyes darting to the phone to message Kai that she was home safely.


A shy and somewhat nervous man, as shown by his stuttering when speaking and blushing in various situations. He is also considerate and caring, offering to drive Adira back to her car and making sure she texts him when she gets home safely. His gentle nature extends to taking care of his puppy Abby. It can be inferred that he is attracted to Adira.

"I will, thank you." Adira let her hand move freely to tilt left and right before she moved it towards the car door, pulling the small metal handle towards her before she pressed the door open, ducking her head under the roof before shutting it swiftly behind her. Her heels clicked lightly against the pavement before she picked up speed, trotting as her hair danced to and fro against her back before she climbed into her vehicle to begin her drive home.

Kai watched to make sure Adira at least made it out if the parking lot before he sped off. Driving back to his apartment. Once he entered he was greeted to whining and a mess on the floor. He had forgotten about his puppy. "OK Abby, I'm here... I'll get you some f-food." He said to the small beagle puppy filling her water and food bowl before cleaning up after her. He was gonna take her out to use the bathroom after the concert but then the whole thing with Adira happened. After he finished cleaning and feeding Abby he looked around his apartment.

It was a one room loft apartment. Technically two rooms since the bathroom was a separate room under the stairs. The first floor was a kitchen and living room. Stairs led up to an open bedroom. As he stood there his phone went off and he smiled to see Adira text. Messaging back "Great. So how does 7 PM tomorrow sound?"


A young girl, around 8 years old, with features that reflect her innocence and youth. She has a petite frame and soft facial features typical of children her age. Her personality is timid and submissive, as she often complies with orders despite being afraid or in pain. She is also resilient, enduring harsh punishments without much resistance. However, underneath this compliance, there appears to be a strong will as she contemplates seeking help despite the risks involved.

Lily could hardly focus on dealing with the pain, hearing him constantly swing the cane and poke her bottom. After the time had finally come, and she felt him smack in the same spot he did the second time, causing her to scream out again.

Once the minute of waiting started again, she felt something start to drip down her bottom as it slowly started to bleed a bit from the spots he had struck twice already. "I-it hurts so much. I-isn't there anything I can do to get fewer strokes?"

Seeing that there was a very small trickle of blood, Hammond took a tissue and started to dab at those spots on her bottom. It wasn't enough to be any kind of risk. "No, I don't think so. Although, hmm... you have seven strokes remaining on your bottom, and then the two special ones. I could reduce it to only three left, and then the two special ones. That would mean reducing it by four strokes. Even considering the repeated ones you already had, that would still be less."

He let her consider that. "But instead, you would have to come in here tomorrow at lunch time for detention with me. You would get more spankings then. No more canings, though. But that's nearly a whole hour getting spanked. Which one do you prefer?" He swished the cane again.

Lily listened to him speak, and after hearing her options, she tried to think about which one would be better. She didn't have any spankings already planned for tomorrow that she knew about, so if she accepted, she would have to look forward to another day of spankings. However, if she declined, she would have to keep herself from blocking her bottom the entire time, or she would just add more strokes.

After thinking it over for a while, she knew that she wouldn't be able to keep her hands away from her bottom if he did seven more strokes. "I-I'll come to you tomorrow during lunch and take the hour of spanking, d-do I still get to eat after the spankings are over at least?" Once she finished speaking, she got herself ready for the next stroke since she was sure the minute was wearing thin.

"You will be able to eat before or after, whichever you prefer, yes. I will allow time for that. All right then, you have just three strokes left—at least, on your bottom cheeks." And so, as the minute ended, Hammond let the next stroke land very low on her bottom. He knew that was going to leave a painful welt, and by the next day, there would be bruising as well. Still, there were only two left after that—four in total, including the ''special'' strokes.

Once again, the minute of waiting started, so he patted and squeezed her little bottom. He ran his fingers across the welts, pinched the raised flesh a little, and poked to see how stiff and sore the bruised skin was. He made sure she could feel every moment of discomfort before the timer went down.

And then he let the second-to-last stroke land, right across the sit-spots! "I won't wait for a specific minute now. Let me know when you are ready for the last one. "

Lily was happy to hear that she was still going to be allowed to eat tomorrow. She was then just waiting for the next stroke. Once she finally felt it, she let out another loud yelp but, stayed still not moving much as tears rolled down her face. She started to try and deal with the pain again, but he started to make sure that she wasn't going to be able to do that by squeezing, pinching, and poking her bottom.

Once the next minute was over and she felt him give her the second to last stroke on her bottom, she let out a small scream and closed her eyes. Hearing what he said made her rather happy though. She could decide when she wanted the last stroke, so she took a few extra minutes, about five in total, to get prepared before she nodded. "O-OK, I'm ready for the last stroke."

Mister Hammond waited as long as necessary, giving her the time she needed—and he also didn't poke and twist, just letting her regain some strength. But when the time came, he nodded, and lined the cane up once more. He found a spot on her bottom that was still sore from the previous day but didn't have a new welt on it yet, tapped the cane there, and stepped back...

Before stepping in and letting the final stroke land with a loud crack! "Right. When you are ready, reaching back with both hands and spreading your bottom cheeks nice and wide for me. It's time for the special extra strokes of the cane."

Lily just braced herself when she felt him tap the cane on her bottom. Once she felt it strike her bottom with a loud crack, she let out a loud scream, and tears started to roll down her face as the pain covered her bottom. Once it was over, though, she was given the time she needed to recover before the special strokes started.

It took her a good 10 minutes to finally reach her hands back and spread her cheeks wide for him. She didn't like holding her cheeks like this since just holding them apart was painful to her, but she had to finish the last two strokes. "O-OK, I'm ready, p-please just make them quick so I can be done."

"Oh, I'm afraid we're going to have to wait a bit between them both. It might be a few minutes. If I landed them both rapidly, I don't think you could handle that." With that, Hammond held the cane vertically, sitting on his chair so he could hold it at the right height and angle. He pressed it firmly along her groove, rubbing it up and down so the ridges would scrape over her bottom hole. And then he pulled his arm back, before flicking his wrist and whipping the rod down firmly.

It wasn't as hard as the full-powered strokes to the bottom, but it didn't need to be. He didn't need to do as much damage to make it hurt a lot. The cane bit that sensitive skin and left a stinging mark. As it started to swell into a proper welt, he put the cane down to watch the skin grow puffy. It was just about time for his fun.

Lily didn't disagree with what he said. She wanted it to be over quickly, but it would have hurt a lot more if he did it twice in a row. Once she felt the cane rubbing against her bottom hole, she braced herself for the stroke. Soon enough, she felt it strike down vertically along her groove. It didn't feel as hard but it still hurt just as much, making her yelp out and start to cry.

Once the first one was over, she just stayed still as the burning sensation started to rise up against and around her bottom hole. She wasn't exactly sure if she was allowed to choose the time for the next hit, but it didn't seem to take her as long to believe that she could handle it anyway. It was the last stroke for now, so she wouldn't have to worry about anything else for a bit. The burning was already bad enough and wasn't going to get any better if she waited. "I-I'm ready for the final stroke."

"Oh, not quite yet you're not." was the only reply at first. Mister Hammond stood up and stretched a little. As quietly as he could, he unzipped his fly and pulled his erect penis out—and then took the packet from his pocket, opened it, and carefully worked the condom onto his member. It was a self-lubricated condom, which saved time—because where he intended to use it, he absolutely needed the lubricant to have any chance of fitting.

"I want you to remember what I said before. That I thought I might put my thing inside you again. But that your front parts are probably too sore for that." And then, putting the cane down, he stepped up behind Lily, placed his hands on her to keep her still, and pressed in behind her so the tip of his penis pushed against her welted anus. And then he gripped her sides firmly and started to push forward while pulling her backward.

Lily was confused when he said that she wasn't ready, and if he wanted to give her even more time to rest, she wasn't going to turn it down and just started to take the time he was giving her to rest unsure of what he was doing behind her. Soon though, she heard him start to speak, and what he said confused her even more. "Y-yes, I remember you said that, but what does that have to do with the last stroke? I'm ready for it. I promise I won't move."

She then felt him holding her still before feeling something press against her anus. She did her best to turn her head and when she saw what he was doing, she looked in shock. "W-wait, what are you doing, y-you can't put your thingy inside my bottom." She then tensed up as she felt him pushing forward while pulling her back slowly pushing his penis deeper and deeper into her tight little hole. "Stop it hurts, p-pull it out, y-you said you wouldn't do this."

Gradually, Hammond managed to force the head of his penis up inside her back door. Even that was hard—especially with the swelling, he was surprised it could fit. Tightening his grip, he worked harder, pushing harder, and working the shaft inside Lily's bottom. But it was tough work getting it in such a tight entrance.

When she tried to object, he swung his hand to smack one welted bottom cheek. "No, I said I was thinking I would do this. But then I said I wouldn't put it in your front hole. I did not say I wouldn't put my thing inside you. I didn't say I wouldn't put anything inside your bottom hole. And this is the real punishment for talking when I told you not to. So let me warn you right now, your detention tomorrow is going to be very bad indeed if you tell anyone this time."

Once he managed to get all the way in, with her insides squeezing tightly on his hard penis. He pushed back, slowly pulling out most of the way until it was only the tip inside, before entering again, trying again to plough ahead into her tight ass.

Lily just lay there in shock as she felt him slowly pushing deeper inside of her. The pain was preventing her from moving, not that she could in the first place, but she wanted to get away from him. When she felt him smack one of her cheeks, she let out a yelp and listened to what he had to say. She finally understood what he meant but she didn't want this to happen at all. She had to tell someone, surely someone would believe her.

She wanted to answer him, trying to tell him that she wasn't going to tell him, but the pain of him pulling all the way out and trying to push all the way back in was keeping her in shock, preventing her from speaking to him. It felt like he was tearing her hole apart, but she couldn't protest anymore. All she could do was lay there and let him have his way with her.

As she stopped resisting, he kept going. That made it easier for him, even if in some ways it was less enjoyable. It was still a very tight entrance and warm, and he could tell she was in pain. So he kept pushing in and pulling most of the way out, over and over.

It did occur to Mister Hammond that he could find ways to make her clench up for him—slapping her bottom or reaching around to play with her clit. But he instead just focused on buggering her as deep as he could—if she was simply going to lie there, that was good enough for him.

Thanks to the tightness, it didn't take him long to reach his orgasm, gasping from the intensity of it. His knees went weak, and he almost collapsed on her, but regained his footing and pulled out. The condom quickly went in the bin, and he wiped his penis clean—and grabbed another tissue to wipe any traces of lubrication (and for that matter, any possible blood) from her anus.

"Right..." he started to get his breath back, "...now you can have the final stroke there." And with that, he sat down, picked the cane up, and delivered the last firm stroke of the cane to her burning bottom hole.

Lily just lay there as he pushed in and out of her little bottom hole. Once he finally finished, she finally was able to start recovering from the experience. Before she was able to fully recover, however, she soon felt him give the last stroke, making her yelp out, bringing her back to her senses. That marked that it was all over, and she could go back to class now, but she still had punishment coming during the school day, and she wasn't looking forward to it.

"C-can I go back to class now? I-I promise I won't tell anyone about what you did to me." Of course, she was already lying again; she wanted to tell someone about it; she just didn't know who she could tell yet.


A middle-aged man with a stern and authoritative appearance that commands respect. He has a professional attire befitting his role as a school principal. His personality is manipulative, cruel, and devoid of empathy; he uses his position of authority to inflict physical harm and sexual abuse on his students under the guise of discipline. He derives pleasure from exerting power over others, particularly those who are vulnerable and unable to defend themselves.

Already, Hammond was standing, zipping his trousers back up, and placing the cane back on its hook. Once he had finished, he picked Lily up by the armpits, lifted her off the desk, and set her down on the floor. "Yes. Get your skirt and underwear back on, and then you can go to class. I'll see you tomorrow at the start of lunchtime—bring your lunch here—and I don't want any more naughtiness from you."


A non-human entity with an appearance akin to a transparent human form. His ash-colored skin sets him apart from typical human characteristics. He communicates calmly and authoritatively, conveying important information without revealing much about his emotions or personal history, except for the fact that he's the last of his kind. His insistence on referring to Olivia as "human" suggests a certain detachment and an emphasis on species distinction. Despite this impersonal approach, there's a hint of concern in his voice about the fate of humanity, suggesting some level of empathy or vested interest in their survival.

The room was filled with blinding light. As it started to fade, more of the room came into focus. There was little to the room. There was a single door on the far wall and cylinder standing next to the girl. Beside that, on the wall, was a computer screen, but there was nothing on it. Near the door was a dial, like the kind that was on the old telephones. Around the dial was small sockets, twenty in total. There was nothing else in the room. A voice flowed into the room. "Wake human. The time has come to see if your race has a chance."

Olivia blinked the tears from her eyes the light to bright for her not quite sure what was going on. "Wha?" She felt the pounding of her heart suddenly as she did not realize where she was. Her skin felt icy as she backed to a corner not understanding at first though relaxing a hair at the voice. *Is this some kind of joke*?

She waited in her corner as she tried to decide what was the best course of actions feeling for her purse as that would have some items that would help her in case some creep was having his kind of fun with her. Most importantly to her right now was the pepper spray, and the small pocket knife she had in there. She had never used it out of a self defense class she had only paid half a mind too. Now she was regretting that choice waiting for whatever surprise was coming next.

The voice flowed again. "Rise human. You must stand for your race. If you don't, then the planet will die." The voice held with just a little hint of concern as it spoke. No one showed up, just a voice. "You much pass the trial, no matter how long it takes. Keep in mind, the longer you waste time, the closer your race is to destruction."

Olivia did not like this voice, as whatever it was hid from her talking through some kind of monitor. "I don't know what is going on here, but I want some answers!" Her words had a bite to them she rarely showed she was getting more annoyed than she was afraid. She had found her purse pulling it around her arm as she moved to her feet, though not leaving the corner, "What kind of test..." She snapped looking at it as a way to escape from whatever it was this was. "My name is Olivia not human by the way..." She was not important enough for this to be a kidnapping for money, and if whoever this was wanted something else she would give him what she had in mind first.

"You much face the worst of man kinds creations. You much stand against fear and surpass everything humans have said wasn't real. Now human, you must pass this trial, or your planet and everything on it will exist no more." A strange from began to appear before her. It was transparent, clearly without solid form. "I am Altar. I am the last of my kind." The form looked human enough, but his skin was the color of ash.

Olivia watched the humanoid creature before her as her eyes grew a tad larger before she seemed to relax almost completely nodding her head, *I see it is some kind of dream... I do not remember drinking last night.* She moved from the corner a little more confident of the area she was in. A dream, or a nightmare it was simple her dreams were never overly extravagant.

She could play along it could be fun her mind taking her for a little spin. She smiled lightly as she looked at the form. "Okay then, what is it I have to do to get back to... whatever it was I was doing before this." Her mind buzzed when she tried to think about it. She moved her hand to her purse taking the pepper spray taking precautions would not hurt anything at least.

The form pointed towards the door with the dial. "The door in this room will lead you to the trial zones. There you must defeat everything. Once done, you will be given access to the main room of the zone. There you must take down the main monster of the zone. After is is defeated, you will obtain a gem. Each zone, twenty in all, has a gem. These gems will allow you into the final zone." If you should lose in a zone, you will be stripped of your things, teleported back her, and made to restart the zone." The form then turned back to her and held out his hands. Another bright light flashed and a socketed collar started to float in the air over his hands. "Put this on. It will hold the gems and will be the only thing you will not have taken away.

After having decided this was all some dream Olivia took the collar pressed her hair back snapping it around her neck after closing it she felt a pang of regret as she did not know if this was not some dream. However it looked harmless enough she stepped toward the door pressing on the dial. "Whatever let us get this away I would like to be home by tonight" She tried to joke as she waited for the door just planning to dive in as she did not have a choice what was the worse that could happen. She ran her hand back, and along her hair brushing it over her shoulder. She could not do much at this point the figure was either a figment of her imagination or one of the best special effects she had ever seen.

"You may pick the order of the zones you complete. You will also find things on long the way that can help you. Turn the dial to a number and then open the door."


A resilient and determined individual, not easily frightened or deterred by unfamiliar circumstances. Her quick acclimatization to the strange situation suggests adaptability. She carries a purse with items like pepper spray and a pocket knife, indicating she's cautious and prepared for self-defense. Despite her initial confusion, Olivia exhibits a biting assertiveness when demanding answers. Her decision to view the situation as a dream shows an ability to cope under stress through rationalization. Overall, she is resourceful and ready to face challenges head-on.

"You may pick the order of the zones you complete. You will also find things on long the way that can help you. Turn the dial to a number and then open the door."

Olivia took no time spinning the dial stopping at 18 before she let it go just to see what was to come next. "This is a strange game your playing at one way or another..." She seemed to be talking to herself as she looked up, and closed her eyes waiting to see what would happen from here.


A newly turned vampire, still retaining the physical characteristics he had as a human. His previous profession as a vampire hunter imply that he was once physically fit and agile. He possesses an assertive personality, as seen in his decision to switch from hunting vampires to becoming an assassin. Despite his recent transformation, David maintains a sense of humor and is adaptable to new situations. His respect for Cypresso's house rules indicates a level of respect for others' boundaries. However, his candidness about his thoughts and plans also hints at a straightforward and unfiltered nature.

The path winded into a clearing near an old house. "I assume this must be your home. You probably should know before you let me in here I kill vampires for a living. Or I did anyway. Now I guess I need a new occupation. Maybe I'll pick up fishing. I bet I'd be very good at it now that I can see in the dark. What do you think? Should I fish? No of course not. It's a waste of talent. I need to do something else, like weapons dealing, or assassination. Yeah I think I'll be an assassin. Like in this vampire movie I once saw. Take my anger about what happened to me out on assholes I kill for money. Kill two birds with one stone, what do you think? What is your name anyway? I'm David. And don't worry, I promised I would not try and fuck with you. I keep my word. And I don't think I could hurt you anyway, even if I tried. I am talking too much. Let's go inside."

By no means was Cypresso's home small, at least it wasn't for the time it was built. He had a good five or six bedrooms and if he was honest he couldn't remember how many sense most of the time he stuck to only the upper floor of the house. Compared to what existed now days, it was just a home to house a large family nothing more.

But Cypresso still nodded, motioning to the other to follow only to stop for a second when he was told the other's profession. Cypresso was careful, probably more so then he needed to be and sure that had led to a few deaths over the years, but he had learned. Had someone been tracking him? Sure he had that incident in Germany back a few couple hundred years ago but he had made sure not to let that happen again. He was feeding regularly, or pretty close to it. "Ha-ha" Cypresso laughed nervously, "Right... You do know that we just don't all go around killing right? Or seeking out violence... right?"

The question hung in the air for a moment before Cypresso, entered his own home, motioning for the other to follow even if he was a bit nervous. Maybe this one would just leave him alone if he played it sweet, after all, he couldn't predict how this one would take the others living with him, the two humans that occupied the down stairs during the day. "Well you can come in i suppose, I just ask you this, if a room is locked, please don't try to get into it."

David nodded as he stepped inside the house, making his way into the lounge and having a seat there. "Of course, I will respect your wishes. If a door is locked, I will not try and enter. I will not eat your friends in here. I will be the perfect house guest. Don't worry, it will all be OK. You can trust me. I promised not to intentionally be trouble for you, and I'm a lot of things, but I am not a liar."

One of the humans residing in the place came up to David, and offered him a drink. "Oh thank you. I am a bit thirsty. There is blood in this I can smell it. It will be enough to tie me over for the moment anyway at least. Your servant is very on top of things. I appreciate that. Probably does not want me to eat him."

"Do vampires sleep during the day, is that true? I have not been a vampire long enough to know if that is true or not. I know that vampires are killed by the sun, but I am not sure if that is the extent of that weakness." David asked. "Also can we eat food? I am not hungry, but it could be fun to eat and not get fat from it. I wont be able to get fat from it now right? I know I wont be hypoglycemic anymore. That is also a plus."

"They are not servants, Arya and Liam can come and go as they please and quite frankly, they can tell you no and choose not to do something..." Cypresso corrected, "But no, they are not food, if they want to they can, but if they don't..." He trailed off, his voice holding more power then it had at the party, even he was actively threatening the other man. But Cypresso let it die for now waiving off the human more for their own safety then anything else.

"But to answer your questions, Yes most of us sleep through the day, too much light can be a bit painful so you just get used to changing up your sleep schedule. I mean, you could be awake during the day but you really wouldn't be able to go anywhere. And it really depends on what kind of vampire you are if you can handle the light. Like for me, My skin burns, so imagine a really bad sunburn. For you, you might be one of those that can really get killed by the sun, most can after all."

Cypresso took a seat across from the other man "As for food, you can, but you don't really digest it. You can eat to blend in, but too much and you might actually make yourself sick on the spot. But no, you can't gain wait from normal food. Too much blood and you may end up looking like a tick. Any other questions?"

"Well thank you for letting me come here. Do you have a guest room or will I be sleeping in a dungeon somewhere?" David inquired, making a joke not really believing he would be by the smirk on his face as he spoke."I am actually quire exhausted it is almost day time now isn't it? That would be why? We don't have to sleep in coffins now do we? That would be even worse than a sex dungeon. Not wanting to sleep in a coffin. I am claustrophobic after all."

"Or I could nap right here in your lobby but if you have guests that might be kind of weird for them. Although this couch does look rather inviting to me. And I am so fucking tired."

"You can sleep in a dungeon if you want. There isn't one here though." Cypresso admitted. "I personally sleep in a bed." The vampire finished, his eyes rolling as he motioned for the other man to follow him. "Come, we will get you to a room" There was plenty of space for the two of them as well as the humans that lingered below. Upstairs was much of the same, though there was old vases and pictures from around the world that Cypresso had collected over the years. "Sorry that there isn't much other then a bed and a dresser in there, It is just kind of an empty room that I have been using to store things. Inside there was more artifacts, old pieces of art, some musical interments that were gathering dust as the vampire had lost interest in them. Your welcome to move things around however you like."

David was tired, as he had said, so he moved from where he was sitting over to the bed in the room. He looked around. There were a few odds and ends that he could make use of, a bathroom that he could take a bath in, a bed to sleep. Everything he might require. He opened the mini fridge and saw blood.

"This isn't a half bad set up. Thank you very much I appreciate this. I know I have had this many times but i do. Anyway I am going to take a bath because I feel like a mess. I am then planning on getting some sleep. I will not enter any locked rooms as we discussed, and if I need anything, and I probably will not, I will request it from your human friends."

With that, David stepped inside the bathroom, undressed, and drew the water for a bath, he entered, and moved deep into the water, where he started to soak and clean off from his traumatic turning. It had been a long day and he just wanted it to be over with.


An older vampire who possesses a certain level of caution and wisdom stemming from his centuries of existence. His home, filled with artifacts and old pieces of art from around the world, show he has a cultured and refined taste. He's patient, accommodating, and somewhat reserved as shown by his interaction with David. Despite his unease about having a former vampire hunter in his house, he maintains calmness and offers guidance to the new vampire. However, he also displays assertiveness when laying down rules for David, indicating that while he may be hospitable, he doesn't shy away from maintaining order in his home.

David was tired, as he had said, so he moved from where he was sitting over to the bed in the room. He looked around. There were a few odds and ends that he could make use of, a bathroom that he could take a bath in, a bed to sleep. Everything he might require. He opened the mini fridge and saw blood.

"Mmmhmm, though I would rather you come find me then the others. I am just down the hall," Cypresso motioned to the left. "If I remember correctly, new vampire's need to eat a lot. Constantly. A bit like a baby and I would rather not have the sudden urge come upon you while your looking for one of the humans," Cypresso was blunt and to the point, leaving little room for argument, in actually his requests were simple and not that demanding where most older vampire's would be demanding some sort of subservience just for a drop of food to sate the eternal hunger.

Taking his chance to turn away, Cypresso went off on his own, heading to his own room. He should bathe too but the new one probably needed the soak more. A lot had happened in one day and he was sure it was distressing. Being turned could be, or so he had been told in all honesty, Cypresso did not remember what happened the day he turned, just some of the emotions and only the really strong ones. Distress and horror and quite frankly, that was about it.


An Alrian prince possessing a paler complexion and perhaps more delicate features compared to those of Vurlthair. His personality is bold and adventurous, unafraid to explore new experiences or express his desires openly. He exudes confidence in his body and sexuality, effortlessly taking the lead when given the chance but also showing respect for Vihaan's comfort levels. Despite this assertiveness, he displays a considerate side as well, making sure not to pressure Vihaan into anything he isn't ready for. This balance of assertiveness and consideration suggests an empathetic nature underneath his adventurous spirit.

"There has never been any question of my vigor in regards to you, that I assure." Elisander had always found Vihaan attractive. Even in the beginning, he would have never denied him. Which is something Mattel had counted on when he sent him to his bed. Now, it went deeper and then paired with his denial he had no hope of controlling his body's reactions. His own actions though were carefully under Vihaan's direction, knowing that the wrong move would send them several steps back. When Vihaan trusted him more fully there would be times to more actively participate.

Elisander shifted, giving Vihaan access to wherever he wanted to go on his body. He enjoyed the idea of his lover bathing him, though wished he could witness it as well. He wanted to do the same for Vihaan in return but would suggest it; instead hoping that he might be granted permission. It was as intricate a dance as any they'd performed during the court season. Vihaan was the one leading them through the motions and Elisander was reminding himself to simply follow and enjoy.

"What sort of games of flirtation customs are there in Vurlthair? Is this one of them?" Elisander asked with a smile, curious about the courting rituals of the other country.

Vihaan laughed softly at Elisander's inquiries. He wondered if Elisander talked due to nerves, or if he was really feeling so talkative when half-aroused. It was a relief, in a way, knowing he wasn't the only one that might have butterflies about the peculiar situation. It was coy out of necessity, for Vihaan didn't think he could be so bold if not for the blindfold in place.

"We have many customs and means of ensnaring in Vurlthair... none that I had ever taken mind to seriously, but I was always more a part of the barracks than drifting between courts I wasn't demanded to. It is easier to flirt among soldiers than aristocrats." He smirked softly, moving to rake his long fingers through Elisander's hair. "...this... however. Is a sign of closeness. Vurlthairins put much value and symbolism into our hair, to wash another's is... well depending on the relation, can be very forward." His nails dragged softly against Elisander's scalp, "There are many others, especially among the peasants. The gifting of horseshoes, of sea glass, though my favorite was one I knew one of the Captains to have participated in. A trade of ink, a custom started in the ports. Vibrant inks knocked into the skin with sharpened shells or blades, simple motions, picked by a lover. No more than a few dots usually, but attractive in placement and vibrancy."

He reached to the side to pick up a shallow bowl to drag through the water and slowly pour through Elisander's dampened curtain of pale hair.

Elisander relaxed into the sensation, allowing Vihaan to wash and comb through his hair. It wasn't usually something he slowed down with someone to tend to but many experiences with the foreign prince were new to him. He enjoyed all of it but the slow tease was making him ache in ways he couldn't control.

"I agree with you there. That it is easier to flirt with soldiers than aristocrats." Elisander grinned. "But this might be more fun." His fingers drifted up Vihaan's side, not encouraging him any direction, just a light touch as he set his palms down on the edge of the tub. Servants must have gotten the message because even with the time spent within the bath none came to check up on them. The guards the same, even Jeffery who knew some of the interaction between the two princes was based on pretenses. Yet Elisander's intentions were very true.

"What are the other plans for the evening? If we stay in the bath too much longer, we will prune." Though damp now, he still wore the blindfold.

Vihaan's hands momentarily paused as Elisander's hand briefly grazed his skin. Feeling Elisander settle, Vihaan relaxed once more, relieved that his lover hadn't been seeking. As much as he was enjoying their little experiment, he wasn't yet ready for direct contact just yet. Setting the jar aside, Vihaan reached to untie Elisander's damp blind fold, tossing it carefully to the side.

"Are Alrians so delicate they dissolve in a bit of water?" Vihaan teased as he backed a few paces from Elisander, eyes sweeping down the length of his body." ...I had a desire yet, one I think you might enjoy if you are not shy from my eyes." A note of red crept onto Vihaan's cheeks the longer he spoke as if his formulate plan flustered him. Even though his body hadn't reacted as of yet, he did feel the intimacy of the situation, thick, yet lighthearted. It set him more at ease than he would have thought.

"I... wish to get used to the sight of you." He needed to get used to thinking of Elisander as a lover and equating desire to him, but as long as he panicked when touched intimately there was little hope. If he could just get used to seeing Elisander and expecting to see him in such a state, Vihaan felt he could eventually get to where he could be good for Elisander, even if he never readily enjoyed it himself in the same manner as he would wish.

"I'm going to finish bathing... and I would like to see you take yourself in hand." He managed to speak it at last, heartbeat doubling within the cage of his chest.

"My worry is not that I will melt," Elisander told him. "And I've never been shy." Even by Alrian standards, which seemed less prudish than Vurlthair, Elisander could be considered adventurous. And with time, he'd only grown in confidence.

"Knowing that you are watching will only bring pleasure. My own, certainly, and hopefully yours as well." He shifted to move diagonal across from Vihaan, using the edges as a guide. The foreign Prince could either move closer of his own accord or her could remain at the other end of the bathing pool and continue to wash. Elisander lifted himself to sit in the corner, fully exposing his lower half and his aching cock. He leaned back on one arm and took himself in hand, spreading his legs.

"Does the view suit?" Elisander asked and tipped his head back. Even if he could look at Vihaan he wouldn't have in that moment. That seemed too personal, like making him an unwilling participant and Elisander wanted him to feel free to do whatever he wished. To ignore him if he so desired, to move closer, or to even touch himself if he felt like exploring. Elisander wasn't sure if that was something Vurltharin's did but Elisander obviously had no qualms about it as he stroked up and down his shaft.

"Do you want me to continue to completion? I fear if I don't and we do move forward with the evening together... I might not last. This would take the edge of, and rest assured, I am young enough that my vitality will return."


A prince from Vurlthair possessing the physical attributes common in his country. He is careful and thoughtful in his actions, showing respect for Elisander's boundaries while exploring their relationship. His personality is reserved yet curious, as he navigates this intimate situation with both caution and interest. Despite being somewhat flustered by the intensity of their encounter, he maintains a sense of humor and openness about his desires. His hesitance to touch Elisander directly suggests some past trauma or discomfort with physical intimacy that he's working to overcome.

"My worry is not that I will melt," Elisander told him. "And I've never been shy." Even by Alrian standards, which seemed less prudish than Vurlthair, Elisander could be considered adventurous. And with time, he'd only grown in confidence.

"Do you want me to continue to completion? I fear if I don't and we do move forward with the evening together... I might not last. This would take the edge of, and rest assured, I am young enough that my vitality will return."

Vihaan had thought himself prepared for the full sight of Elisander, but seeing the other so casual present himself flared something long dormant in him. A hot curl of desire sparked bright, though quickly tempered by the familiar nausea he had felt since Mattel had first forced himself upon him. The duality of sensations was dizzying, and he nearly lost his grip on the small jug he used to rinse his hair.

"You are... exceptionally striking." Vihaan tried to voice his voice steady, but the battle was evident both in his tone and visage. He very much enjoyed the view. Seeing nearly every inch of Elisander's milk pale flesh juxtaposed with the flush of his perked prick was worlds away from the bodies he'd been accustomed to weathering in this land, and the deeply tanned bodies of his own people. Not for the first time, he wanted to skim his hands along Elisander's skin, trace the alabaster expanse and see all the spots where Elisander pinked when riled.

And yet fear kept him rooted, too afraid that he would balk and make a fool of himself the moment he tried to act on his desires.

"I wouldn't insult you by questioning your virility." Vihaan teased, to calm himself with the commonality of it. Setting his bathing materials down, he focused solely on Elisander's ministrations, watching the length of his hand slide invitingly against his arched arousal. "You make an inviting scene, Elisander."


A well-educated and sophisticated individual, often seen wearing glasses. He usually dresses casually in a button-up long sleeve plaid shirt, gray T-shirt underneath, blue jeans and sneakers. His appearance suggests an air of casual elegance. He is strategic and cunning, always planning his moves ahead of time which indicates his intelligent mind. Despite his rich upbringing, he's not above using it for manipulation or charm but also shows genuine interest and empathy when connecting on personal levels. His occasional sarcasm adds a touch of humor in his persona. He is adventurous too, expressing desire for travel and exploring new places.

Maggie has a maid? Ben quickly shook his head to return to the conversation at hand. "No matter what, I look forward to seeing your lovely face again." He said back, enjoying how soft her voice had become. Oh, she was a good one. A very, very, very good one. And one he was gonna reel in. "See you tomorrow. Miss Maggie." He said with a sultry tone, before hanging up. Tomorrow would be fun. He was already planning out what to wear. If she played hard to get again, he wanted to prepare for it. He wasn't gonna chase after her. He was gonna make her come after him.

When the afternoon came, Maggie would easily find the restaurant Ben had talked about last night.

The place had a New England look and feel to it, from the old fashion architecture, to the hanging pictures and deer head over the fireplace, which looked to use fire made by gas over fake logs rather than actually burning wood logs. It wasn't too packed, a couple people at the bar, and some in the booths near the entrance she would come in from. But, she would find Ben at the booth near the fireplace, texting on his phone. His wore a button up long sleeve plaid shirt, with a gray T-Shirt underneath, and blues jeans with the same sneakers he wore last night. The shirt was unbuttoned, and the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. He seemed intensely focused on his phone, not noticing Maggie approaching until she was a few feet away from the table. When he did, he quickly put it down, and pushed his glasses up the index of his nose.

"Ah!" He said with a smile, happy to see her again. "I see you kept to your word. Here I was thinking I would be having lunch alone, and you were just playing me again." He joked, putting his hands together and leaning his chin over them. He had that same charm from last night, with a smugness that seemed more noticeable now in the day than before. Mainly because he knew she wouldn't fall for his nice guy attitude again. Ben revealed he was much more than a rich white kid who flexed his money muscles around to get his way. He was a strategist, and took joy in playing his opponents. He was showing some of his true face, though Maggie was yet to see all of it.

Maggie spent the rest of the night getting the sleep she desperately needed. The next morning she awoke, ready and excited for their time together. She dressed in a black tank top that cut off right above her midriff. She paired that with a simple pair of jeans and sneakers. Maggie combed through her hair, applying a bit of makeup before rushing out the door. She ensured she locked up, jogging down the stairs soon after.

Maggie hailed a cab and offered him the address. She browsed through her phone as they drove down the long road.

When they finally arrived, she pushed open the door before stepping out. She paid the cab before hurrying inside. She scanned the crowd before spotting him. She grinned, offering him a wave. "Well like I said last night—I'm not about to miss out on a free meal, and a possible friend for the night." She winked with a laugh. Maggie approached the table before sitting down with a smile.

"Ah good, I didn't dream that part." Ben joked, handing over a menu to her. "You look lovely today." He complimented. "So, tell me about street fighting. What got you into that, and why continue doing it? I can imagine there are better avenues for fighting careers that are considered more legal and less troublesome if a doctor is wondering why you have broken knuckles and a swollen face." Street fights weren't legal in the US, and while she mentioned they made her good money, the insurance and health bills probably didn't keep her paydays too great.

"Well, I started fighting when I was sixteen. I did that for street cred and respect. I joined a gang in order to keep my brother safe after he was jumped. I found the guys who beat him up... And well they deserved what they got." Maggie shrugged simply. "I've always found fighting thrilling, and I'm damn good at it, so that's also a plus." She chuckled with a grin.

"But why simply street fights?" Ben asked, leaning his chin atop his hands, putting his full attention to her. "You have a physical presence about you. From how you talk, to your body language, you have absolute control over how you want others to view you, yet I can't imagine putting those talents into a career that's only for drunken idiots and in debt fathers with little care for their families at home. I picture you holding gold. Training at top MMA gyms, with the best sparing partners and coaches, not because of wealth, but because of skill, and beating your way through promotion after promotion to make yourself rich by humiliating those who thought they were better than you." Ben's mind slightly drifted off into fantasy, imaging her not so much as a competitor, but as a dominator. He blinked quickly once he realized how this was all sounding, and leaned back into his chair to get his back straight. "Sorry. I get carried away sometimes." He told her, pushing his glasses up again and giving a small smile.

The waitress came over to their table, and Ben gave his order. "I'll have a small pepperoni with water. Or would you prefer we do a big one with half and half?" He asked Maggie, meaning one side with toppings for Ben, and one side for her, if she wanted a pizza.

Maggie blinked at his words before she let out a soft laugh. "I could, but then people would start diggin' once they read more into me, they'll learn more about me then I want. I fight for the feeling, not for the fame. It doesn't give me any satisfaction to receive their praise. I know that I could beat them, and that's all I need." She shrugged with a soft laugh.

She smiled up at the waitress before nodding with a smile, "Half-and-half is fine with me. Water and pepperoni is fine for me too,"

"Oh you'd be surprised how shady people's pasts are in professional sports. Drugs, gambling addictions, money laundering, spousal abuse, marrying cousins, which I swear did actually happen to one, sexual assault, criminal offenses, joining a gang is just street cred at this point, you'll probably get a beer commercial with some narrator saying how awesome you are." As Ben listed off the various offenses, he counted them with his fingers, and looked at them with his head cocked to the side to make sure he was remembering them all. Still, he said it all with his sarcastic tone of voice, and a small grin on his face. The two would get their water once they ordered, with Ben telling the waitress, "thank you," before handing over his menu.

"Anyway, my mind always goes to profits like that. I can understand the enjoyment from just being better than others. I do it daily." He joked, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm sure there's something about me you'd enjoy hearing. My life's story isn't as impressive as yours, but I can try doing... something, at least, to make it more entertaining."

Maggie offered him a smile as she handed the waitress her own menu. She ran through her hair with her fingers with a soft chuckle. "Well—it seems only fair. I've told you mine, you tell me yours," She grinned, sipping her water as she relaxed back in her chair. She rested her head against her hand with a smile.

She wasn't sure exactly what he was going to say, but with the way he spoke, she was immediately intrigued.

With a small smile and a sip of his water, he removed his glasses. "Much of what I said last night still stands. Grew up in Manchester, adopted by a doctor, given top education and fell out with him. Though..." He seemed almost hesitant to continue, as he already explained to Maggie he didn't know who his parents were. But... well, why what the hell, she already admitted she did street fights. "I have this strong feeling my parents were murdered." He simply said. "I... was raised by someone who said he had 'saved' me from them, but how and why was never explained. He simply gave me a home, and raised me like he was my dad. But, I've always believed the simple case was he murdered both parents and kidnapped me." He didn't sound bothered by this, even though this was a rather disturbing childhood by the sounds of it. "He raised me until I was 8, then gave me up to an orphanage after my brother ran away. Adopted brother, I should add. He hated him more than I did, probably due to how I was the favorite. I had savvey and wits, my brother Divian had anger issues and mental illnesses. Both of us were taught how to adapt and survive, and he didn't take the lessons to heart."

He put his glasses down, continuing to say, "It's... a very complicated family I was raised in."

Maggie listened, nodding slowly, her eyebrow twitching up at the fact regarding his foster father and his suspicions. She took a drink of her water before deciding to respond. "I understand how you feel... My father wasn't much of anything to applaud either. He was a drunk the majority of the time I knew him. He had a rather large temper- and often it out the rest of us. Maybe that's where I learned to fight... I didn't start fightin' back until I was about ten. He threatened to kill me and my little brother, so I attacked him. That didn't make anything better, but I at least could protect myself, my brother, and my mother... He kept this up until one day I guess he had enough. Took a gun and shot me twice." She lifted up the side of her shirt, revealing two scars. "My mother called the ambulance, and my father ran like the coward he is. I haven't looked for him but I imagine he's dead in a ditch somewhere with a heroin needle stickin' out his ass." Her words were tainted with disgust. She took another drink of the water with a sigh.

Ben looked on, raising an eyebrow to when she showed her scars. He couldn't help but chuckle once she finished and sighed. "Our first date, and already we're revealing our darkest family secrets. God knows what else we'll say on the second one." He joked, since he rarely ever discussed such honesty. Family tragedy was a good manipulative tool, but... well, Maggie was no ordinary girl. He felt telling parts of the actual truth wouldn't scare her away. It was almost comforting to see. "I am sorry to hear that though." He added, putting his glasses back on. "I imagine it was quite traumatizing."

Maggie simply shrugged. "A bit, but that's life." She smirked. "I've learned what I can handle and deal with. I drank from the cup of death, only to spit it back out... the worst part probably is I had to say goodbye to bikinis." She laughed teasingly. "I hope to get them covered with a tattoo or two here eventually. Just don't know what," Maggie had quite a few tattoos already across her body, but she wasn't ever sure what to put over the scars. She wanted it to be meaningful, but not much in her life gave her meaning. The parts that did were already tattoos.

"Oh please, the scars would only add to your badass persona." Ben told her. "Haven't you seen Aliens? Muscular Latina women who can hold a gun twice their size has quite the sex appeal. The scars would only make you more mysterious." He was genuine about that, although hypocritically, since he kept his scars hidden as well. A form of weakness if people saw he was something 'mortal.' Eventually, their pizza arrived, and Ben thanked the waitress. "So what's your plans for the rest of the week? I imagine you're on the move a lot, I can't see you staying in a single town for too long." He asked, grabbing a slice from the plate.

Maggie smiled with a soft chuckle as he spoke. He made a good point, but it didn't stop her from feeling somewhat self-conscious about the wounds. They had linked her to bad memories of her past. As much as talking about her past resurfaced buried pain, talking about it with Ben was... Different. She actually felt like she could joke about the harder parts of her childhood with him without getting emotional.

"I do move quite a bit, but that's just what you do in my line of work." She shrugged with a smile. "Though, I recently moved here, so I don't plan on leavin' here just yet. For the most part, my plans are fluid. What about you?" She smiled, taking a slice as well.

"Finish up school, then take some time off to go traveling." He said, taking a bite. "Been years since I did any. Thinking of trekking across the country, then Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and maybe Australia. Never seen South America, or most of the US, so I'll see how far I can go." He looked her over again though, admiring her features. "Though, of course, I wouldn't be happy with myself if I left a woman like yourself out to dry. If you want, I wouldn't mind the company." Minus the other men and women he was sure to try picking up on in his travels.

"Well if you're ever interested, I do have family down in South America... after all, a majority of my heritage comes form Salvador. I don't think I'd mind takin' you home to meet my family. As long as you don't do anythin' stupid, I doubt we'd have a problem." She grinned, relaxing back in her chair as she let her fingers drag through her hair. She took another bite of her food before continuing, "Plus, I speak Portuguese and Spanish, so you don't have to worry 'bout gettin' cheated out of a good deal." She laughed warmly.

"Sounds perfect." Ben ate his way through the pizza, and once he finished, he leaned back into his chair once more, completely filled. "Ahhhhh~" He moaned. "My dieting coach is gonna kill me if he finds out." He joked, as he was on a strict diet to help keep his body in the condition Ben preferred. "So. What now?" He asked, putting his hands over his stomach to twiddle his thumbs. "Feel like burning off the calories? We could walk around town, and see who's place is closer."

Maggie laughed softly as she finished her food, her stomach finally feeling relaxed and satisfied. She grinned at his offer, "I admire your confidence, but if we are to continue with this type of banter, I would prefer a few drinks before hand." She laughed with a lazy grin. "Though I wouldn't be totally opposed to the other option. Depends on how interesting our walk is," She smirked, running her fingers through her hair.

"Well, I'm not one to push away drinks, but it is," he looked at his phone's clock, "nearly 2:30 in the afternoon." And it was Sunday. "But then again, I don't feel like turning down anything you wanna do right now. I'll just follow your lead from here."

"Just cause it's 2:30 doesn't mean we can't have a little fun. But if you really want to wait until later tonight, you're going to have to hold off until then," Maggie paused for a moment before a grin pulled across her face. "Y'know what? If you can keep your hands off of me this afternoon..." She reached down and rested her hand against his leg, allowing her fingernail to trail up,; pausing mid-thigh. "Well let's just say, I won't oppose tonight," She smirked, her hand drawing near. Maggie leaned back slightly, her hand intimately brushing against him before she pulled away. "Do we have a deal?" In all honesty, this was a test. A test that determined his overall patience and interest. Other men who accepted primarily failed, but she had faith in him.

While she couldn't see it, Ben's skin were covered in goosebumps. Damn if she didn't know how to push his buttons. But, Ben stayed calm, smiling to her offer. "How can I say no?" He told her, crossing his legs.

Maggie smirked, her eyebrow peaking at his comment. "I'm glad your excited... but I'd be watch out for yourself here. Just a slip up, and it's nothin-" She grinned, her leg teasing his own. "Don't expect this to be easy, I'm damn good at getting what I want."

Ben chuckled, leaning back into his own seat. "You keep underestimating me." With his crossed leg, he pushed hers away to change position. "It's fair to say I won't lose if you intentionally try making me touch you, right?"


A strong, confident woman who carries herself assertively. Her body language suggests control and dominance, hinting at her involvement in street fighting. She dresses casually but stylishly, often sporting jeans and tank tops. Her body is adorned by multiple tattoos, indicating a rebellious streak and a desire for personal expression. She's also quick-witted and playful, easily engaging in banter and flirtation. Despite her tough exterior, she shows vulnerability when discussing her past, suggesting depth beyond her rugged persona.

Maggie has a maid? Ben quickly shook his head to return to the conversation at hand. "No matter what, I look forward to seeing your lovely face again." He said back, enjoying how soft her voice had become. Oh, she was a good one. A very, very, very good one. And one he was gonna reel in. "See you tomorrow. Miss Maggie." He said with a sultry tone, before hanging up. Tomorrow would be fun. He was already planning out what to wear. If she played hard to get again, he wanted to prepare for it. He wasn't gonna chase after her. He was gonna make her come after him.

When the afternoon came, Maggie would easily find the restaurant Ben had talked about last night.

The place had a New England look and feel to it, from the old fashion architecture, to the hanging pictures and deer head over the fireplace, which looked to use fire made by gas over fake logs rather than actually burning wood logs. It wasn't too packed, a couple people at the bar, and some in the booths near the entrance she would come in from. But, she would find Ben at the booth near the fireplace, texting on his phone. His wore a button up long sleeve plaid shirt, with a gray T-Shirt underneath, and blues jeans with the same sneakers he wore last night. The shirt was unbuttoned, and the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. He seemed intensely focused on his phone, not noticing Maggie approaching until she was a few feet away from the table. When he did, he quickly put it down, and pushed his glasses up the index of his nose.

"Ah!" He said with a smile, happy to see her again. "I see you kept to your word. Here I was thinking I would be having lunch alone, and you were just playing me again." He joked, putting his hands together and leaning his chin over them. He had that same charm from last night, with a smugness that seemed more noticeable now in the day than before. Mainly because he knew she wouldn't fall for his nice guy attitude again. Ben revealed he was much more than a rich white kid who flexed his money muscles around to get his way. He was a strategist, and took joy in playing his opponents. He was showing some of his true face, though Maggie was yet to see all of it.

Maggie spent the rest of the night getting the sleep she desperately needed. The next morning she awoke, ready and excited for their time together. She dressed in a black tank top that cut off right above her midriff. She paired that with a simple pair of jeans and sneakers. Maggie combed through her hair, applying a bit of makeup before rushing out the door. She ensured she locked up, jogging down the stairs soon after.

Maggie hailed a cab and offered him the address. She browsed through her phone as they drove down the long road.

When they finally arrived, she pushed open the door before stepping out. She paid the cab before hurrying inside. She scanned the crowd before spotting him. She grinned, offering him a wave. "Well like I said last night—I'm not about to miss out on a free meal, and a possible friend for the night." She winked with a laugh. Maggie approached the table before sitting down with a smile.

"Ah good, I didn't dream that part." Ben joked, handing over a menu to her. "You look lovely today." He complimented. "So, tell me about street fighting. What got you into that, and why continue doing it? I can imagine there are better avenues for fighting careers that are considered more legal and less troublesome if a doctor is wondering why you have broken knuckles and a swollen face." Street fights weren't legal in the US, and while she mentioned they made her good money, the insurance and health bills probably didn't keep her paydays too great.

"Well, I started fighting when I was sixteen. I did that for street cred and respect. I joined a gang in order to keep my brother safe after he was jumped. I found the guys who beat him up... And well they deserved what they got." Maggie shrugged simply. "I've always found fighting thrilling, and I'm damn good at it, so that's also a plus." She chuckled with a grin.

"But why simply street fights?" Ben asked, leaning his chin atop his hands, putting his full attention to her. "You have a physical presence about you. From how you talk, to your body language, you have absolute control over how you want others to view you, yet I can't imagine putting those talents into a career that's only for drunken idiots and in debt fathers with little care for their families at home. I picture you holding gold. Training at top MMA gyms, with the best sparing partners and coaches, not because of wealth, but because of skill, and beating your way through promotion after promotion to make yourself rich by humiliating those who thought they were better than you." Ben's mind slightly drifted off into fantasy, imaging her not so much as a competitor, but as a dominator. He blinked quickly once he realized how this was all sounding, and leaned back into his chair to get his back straight. "Sorry. I get carried away sometimes." He told her, pushing his glasses up again and giving a small smile.

The waitress came over to their table, and Ben gave his order. "I'll have a small pepperoni with water. Or would you prefer we do a big one with half and half?" He asked Maggie, meaning one side with toppings for Ben, and one side for her, if she wanted a pizza.

Maggie blinked at his words before she let out a soft laugh. "I could, but then people would start diggin' once they read more into me, they'll learn more about me then I want. I fight for the feeling, not for the fame. It doesn't give me any satisfaction to receive their praise. I know that I could beat them, and that's all I need." She shrugged with a soft laugh.

She smiled up at the waitress before nodding with a smile, "Half-and-half is fine with me. Water and pepperoni is fine for me too,"

"Oh you'd be surprised how shady people's pasts are in professional sports. Drugs, gambling addictions, money laundering, spousal abuse, marrying cousins, which I swear did actually happen to one, sexual assault, criminal offenses, joining a gang is just street cred at this point, you'll probably get a beer commercial with some narrator saying how awesome you are." As Ben listed off the various offenses, he counted them with his fingers, and looked at them with his head cocked to the side to make sure he was remembering them all. Still, he said it all with his sarcastic tone of voice, and a small grin on his face. The two would get their water once they ordered, with Ben telling the waitress, "thank you," before handing over his menu.

"I can do whatever the hell I want, I made the rules, remember?" Maggie grinned, biting down on her lip for a moment or two. "How about we put that to the test and leave this joint?"
