Jas grits his teeth together as he glares at Gaisse for a moment his hand dropping to his sword as Lily reaches for his hand. "Lily you wouldnt be unhappy with me. Dont you remember the happiness we shared? Would you really forget it so easily just because he has come along." He pulls his horse back slightly as he grinds his teeth together softly. "I did not think you would throw my love away like this over a simple mistake." he squeezes his knees into his horse as he spins slightly.

----
Gaisse stays silent as he takes Lily's hand lifting it to kiss softly. He does the action without thought just wishing to show his support of Lily, but the action seems to just anger Jas further. Leaning in to Lily he whispers just for her ear to hear. "I think perhaps it would be safer to return to the manor now. He seems rather upset."
 
Lily did not seem to hear Gaisse's warning to her. She had made the hard choice but at the same time, she did still hold feelings for Jas and it hurt her to see him upset. She did not want to cause him such pain though she knew it had to happen. "Jas please. I am sorry but don't you understand? It's not about one mistake now. It's about so many little mistakes as you call them." She was still holding onto Gaisse's hand even as she tried to calm Jas.
 
Jas lets the reins to his horse fall to the side for a moment as he moves closer to her once more. "I dont understand. I came back here to your home where I risked death and you say I dont understand." He leans over in the saddle as he grabs Lily around the waist attempting to tug Lily from her saddle and across his in one smooth motion. To help him do this he uses a knee to signal his horse to move away from them.

---
Gaisse blinks slowly as he feels Lily being pulled from her horse. Her hand is ripped from his as he tries to lean over the mare to get a grasp on her, but is unable as Jas pulls his horse away from the mare. "Dont do this sir. If you do what I think you plan there is no going back from this for you." He drops his hand to his sword ready to fight, but unsure because of Lily's wishes from earlier.
 
Lily is more then a little shocked over Jas's sudden actions. "Jas! Don't do this!" She was far more afraid of what would happen to him now then what would happen to herself. "Let me go Jas!" she said even as the wind was knocked from her as she hit his horse hard. He was kidnapping her! He was actually kidnapping her. The daughter of the lord. He would be hunted down and killed for the offense. Lily tried to push herself backwards, attempting to slide out of his lap. Even if she fell it would give her a chance to escape him.
 
Jas lets out a curse as she tries to slide out. He grabs the back of her dress with one hand as he draws his sword with the other. "Dont even try to follow us. I know this land better then you and I will kill you if you attempt to follow." He kicks his horse hard causing it to rear up slightly as he takes off back up the rise that he rode down on. "Im sorry Lily, but this is the only way I could think of to convince you to be alone with me so I can prove my feelings for you." He glances back to see if Gaisse is following nodding when he doesnt see him. "He is at least smart enough to stay back it seems."

----
Gaisse stares at the man half in disbelief that he would be so bold to kidnap a nobles daughter. The other half over rides Lily's concern of fighting as he draws his sword. He hesitates again at Jas' words wanting to chase, but knowing to do so alone now would mean her getting hurt either through the fight between himself and Jas or by her falling from the mans horse.
 
When Jas did not let her go and only yanked her more firmly into his saddle, panic started to set in. His warning to Gaisse was true. He did know this land. So feel she suddenly feared that if they vanished into it, there would be no coming back. No finding her. As they went dashing up the hill, Lily squirmed in the saddle and cried out, "Gaisse! Stop him! Please!"
 
Jas curses again as he sheaths his sword glancing towards the front. The cursing comes again as she begins crying out for Gaisse. His hand clamps over her mouth as he wheels into the hills trying to confuse anyone who would later try to track their path. "Shush lily please. I wont hurt you I just need some time alone with you to talk. I dont want anyone else disturbing us as we talk over our life." He glances back again holding Lily against his body keeping his hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming out.

----
Gaisse stays still until he hears Lily's words. Without a single hesitation he kicks his stallion into motion following their path into the hills. He pauses after the second hill glancing around as he follows the tracks towards one hill confusion crossing his face as another set of tracks crosses the first. He curses softly as he choses to follow the second set moving quick,but slow enough to hear the other horse if he gets close enough.
 
Lily could tell he didn't want to talk. He wanted at this point to tell her how it was going to be. It only proved more and more he did not truly care about her feelings. He was obsessed with his feelings for her and could not put aside that obsession and just let her be. There was not going to be talking because she knew already he would simply not listen to what she had to say. Lily's hands rose up to try tugging and yanking at his hand over her mouth, trying to free herself to cry out again. If he got her too far away, things would be done for. She truly did know Jas would not hurt her. At least she hoped so, but she also knew that he was flirting with a hangman's noose around his neck the further and further he rode off with her.
 
Jas holds her even closer as he kicks his horse to go even faster glancing back over his shoulder once more. "Were almost free of them Lily then we can talk. Once Ive proven my love to you once and for all we can go back and smooth things over with your family." His arm around her waist squeezes her softly as he plants a kiss on her cheek. "Ive prepared a small cabin thats hidden. Only a few hunters and myself know about it." He smiles glancing back once more.

----
Gaisse pauses at the top to another small hill glancing around as he tries to catch sight of them. "LILY!!!" He closes his eyes sweating heavily as he listens for some kind of response worry gnawing at his stomach. His horse paws at the ground spinning in place as he opens his eyes scanning the area. He yells her name again trying to get some kind of response. Worry fills his voice as he yells her name again thinking she might be gagged or unconscious if she wasnt answering.
 
And that was the confirmation she needed. He had no intention of listening to anything less then her admittance of her undying love and devotion to him. All he was doing though was tainting what was left of that feeling within her for him to hate. She sharply yanked her cheek from his lips as he pressed them to her skin, whimpering against his hand over her mouth. Her name suddenly rang with and echo from somewhere a ways off. It was Gaisse. He was looking for her. Her heart seemed to skip in her chest as she thought of what she could do. A thought came to mind and she acted upon it at once without rationalizing the move with herself first. She bit at Jas's hand over her mouth.
 
Jas smiles as he glances back realizing he is losing Gaisse. He starts to kick his horse to go faster when Lily's teeth sink into his hand. He cries out jerking his hand back. "Lily what are you doing? Im not going to hurt you I just need some time is all." His horse bucks slightly as the bite forces him to jerk back on the reins. "Lily please tell me what you are doing this for?"

----
Gaisse sighs softly as he waits hoping to hear some kind of response from Lily. He yells for Lily again as he spins his horse around desperately searching for her. "LIly if you can hear me then please answer me."
 
Before he could even start to question her, Lily let out a great cry. A nice loud long one that would point Gaisse the right way hopefully. "Why am I doing this?! You are kidnapping me Jas! You saw you want me to listen but I have listened and I have told you what I think and how I feel! And you don't accept that. What if I never accept it Jas? Will you hold me captive forever?! You don't care what I think or saw all you think of is what YOU want for YOU!"
 
Jas quickly shakes his head quickly as he clamps his hand down over her mouth again. "No Im doing this for us. You will see that my love." He glances backwards once more as he holds on to her. "Dont do that again please. All Im asking for is some time to show you how good our life could be." He tries to place a quick kiss on her cheek once more. He kicks his horse again as he hears Gaisse yell Lily's name once more.

----
Gaisse smiles hearing her scream out. It seemed she had only been gagged and had managed to get it off. He rides his horse towards the sound yelling out her name once more. "Im coming Lily just hold on." He smiles as he rides hard towards her voice his sword held out as he comes to the rise of a hill glancing around. He pauses waiting to her voice once more.
 
Lily grunts in frustration. Suddenly, she was regretting ever getting herself involved with Jas in the first place. This was crazy. He was crazy. Knowing that biting down on his hand once again could only anger him possibly. She feared that he could snap any moment. Hearing Gaisse yell for her once again, her heart was ripping. Tears started to well up in her eyes as she whimpered against his hand.
 
Jas pauses as he sees the tears in her eyes. " W..Why are you crying Lily? Im not going to hurt you my love." He pauses his horse as he turns her to face him in the saddle. His hand slips from her mouth slowly as he glances back making sure they are still alone for the moment. "Lily I dont know how else to convince you. Ive tried everything I know, but you just seem to respond with hate." He sighs softly as he wipes away part of her tears.

-----
Gaisse calls out to Lily once more sighing as he hears nothing. "Lily where are you?" He slips out of the saddle studying a few tracks trying to figure out there location. Slipping back int the saddle of the horse he starts to track them listening for anymore screams from Lily.
 
Lily whimpered lightly, the light tears still rolling down her cheeks, "Why am I crying? I'm frightened Jas! You have just kidnapped me! It's completely irrational and do you realize what you have done? Why my father finds out about this.... he'll have you hung Jas!"
 
Jas swallows as he looks into her eyes pausing for a few moments. "Lily I am being rational. We always thought of running away and being married didnt we? We could still do that if you would ride with me." He leans in pressing his lips to hers softly as he strokes her cheek wiping away her tears softly. "I still love you so much. Please believe me when I say that."
 
Frustration was just starting to boil over then and Lily could take no more. When he kissed her, where once she felt something now she could feel nothing from his kiss but distaste for what he was trying to do. He was forcing himself upon her. This was not the way to form the foundations of what could be a marriage. "Yes I said we could run away and we had that chance but you ruined it! And then I moved on! I grew up swiftly and realize what we had founded this so called love on was just attraction. There needs to be more then just attraction Jas. I don't even know anything about you besides how you kiss me."
 
Jas sighs softly as he takes her hand softly then. "What do you wish to know of me then? You dont know much because we never really had a chance to talk before. It was always us sneaking around hiding the looks we gave each other along with the kisses." He runs his fingers through his hair as he looks around slowly. "If you wish for me to I will march through the manor gates and proclaim myself to your father. Then we wouldnt need to run away Lily. Your parents would know of us and we could be married with their approval."
 
"Jas....." she got soft with him, "it's to late. My father has signed the contact with Gaisse's father. It is done. Even if you go and declare yourself to me..." she sighed. "If I go with you and I spend a few hours with you talking and you realize we don't have enough in common..... will you let me go?"
 
Jas swallows softly as he thinks over her offer before nodding quickly. "Lily what will you do if we do have a lot in common. Will you still go back and marry that man." He lifts his hand to her cheek caressing softly as he looks into her eyes. "I love you Lily." His lips turn into a smile as he places a light kiss on her lips. "Speaking of which what will you do with him while we speak?"
 
She shook her head, "I don't know what I will do Jas..." she glanced off back in the direction they came. Her heart still yearning to see Gaisse come riding in for her. "I... I need to know this first then I will cross that bridge then. As for Gaisse now, if I make no more noise he will keep looking for us. By then perhaps we will have this talk over with."
 
Jas smiles softly as he nods quietly for a few moments. "Alright then. May we continue to the cabin then? There is drink and other refreshments for us to enjoy." He presses his hand to her cheek softly as he looks into her eyes. "Thank you for this chance Lily." He turns the horse towards the woods nudging it to a slower pace.
 
She was still not smiling she just nodded as she turned her face away, still clearly unhappy with his actions leading them to this. She was giving him a hint of his way but it was still not over. Not by a long shot. There was not going to be any enjoyment to come. He didn't seem to realize that. This was not some kind of social call. This was her life and her future. All she could think was... lord let them not really have anything in common. And lord, let Gaisse hold back just a little longer. Let this all be over soon.
 
Jas sighs softly as he reaches up to touch her cheek again. "Lily please dont be upset with me. I still love you so much." He turns his horse towards the cabin riding softly his arm wrapped around her waist softly. "How long do you think he will continue to search for you before he decides to head back." Its only a short ride to the cabin as he slips off the horse offering his hand towards her to help her down from the horse.

----
Gaisse continues to search circling the area trying to find their trail. "LILY!!!!" He slips off his own horse cursing his stupidity for letting the man get so close to Lily. He leads the horse over a rise as he listens for an answer hoping she hasnt been hurt by Jas since the last time she screamed out his name.
