"I know what you are" ((Me and Wrath))

Leila looked at him and smiled before her face set into a more grim expression. "So what now?" she asked him.
 
Ravel finishes his glass of wine, setting the empty glass on the table. His eyes seemed to steer away. “Now we…discommunicate you from your family.” This was always a difficult thing to do. He stands and takes three gold coins from his pocket and places them on the table. Once he places the coins down he picks up the wine bottle. “Lets get going…”
 
Leila nodded and said "OKay..." and stood up slowly following him outside. She wondered where they would go...would he take her back to room at the Inn he was staying at or would they go somewhere else?
 
Ravel walks out of the restaurant and takes a deep breath. "We will go to my room at the inn. There tends to be a stationary supply in a room." He takes another swig, his voice growing slightly sluggish. "I wont stand for a young lady as yourself to stay by herself...you shall be staying with me..."
 
Leila looked at him and said "I see..." she followed behind him slowly. Her eyes were downcast as she walked. She would have loved more than anything to have been able to be back at home, sitting around the dinner table with her family, chatting about their days. She had never realized how precious that had been to her before she found her self in the situation she was in now. She looked at him and said "How far is the inn?"
 
Ravel turns around with a slightly saddened stare. "We are almost there... its not that far away..." He takes a breath for a moment and smiles at her. "Dont worry you will see them again and everything will be fine...I promise you." His words sounded sincere. "You’ll have those happy memories sooner than you think..." He turns back around and walks into the inn, he holds the door open for her.
 
Leila looked at him and said "I really hope so" she said softly. She looked at him and walked inside the inn when he held the door open for her. She looked around and waited for him to lead her up stairs.
 
Ravel walks up the stairs, digging into his pocket for his room key. He pulls out the key and opens the door. "Ladies first." He tries to smile at her, following behind her. He takes another drink.
 
Leila walked inside the room. She noticed that there was only one bed. She bit her lower lip and looked back at him and said "I'm guessing your not planning to live in and Inn for ever right?" she asked him.
 
"No..not forever...I dont think I have the money to do that..." Ravel sighs lightly at his own answer. He walks to the desk and shows her a stationary pad, ink and a birdfeather pen. "You should take care of the letter first..."
 
Leila nodded and said "Yes". Leila sat down at the table the she picked up the pen dipping it into the ink before she took a deep breath and wrote the words:

Dear Mother and Father

Please don't be alarmed, I am perfectly fine...I'm just not going to be coming home for a few...weeks. Something life changing has happened to me...something that I carn't control. If I tell you now, chances are you won't believe me. So I'm going away for awhile...rest assured that I will be back and I will tell you everything I could not tell you now. Please do not think differently or me becouse of this. I love you both dearly.


Leila

It was heartbreaking for her to leave them in the dark like this, but it was for the best. She looked down at the words in her elegant Italian writing before she took in a breath and waited for the ink to dry. Once it was dry, the folded the letter and put it into an envelope, sealing it with wax. She then stood and looked at him, looking quite sad and said "It's ready".
 
"Do..you want to drop it off yourself?" Ravel offers her one last chance in a while before she would be near her home. "If not I can go out and take care of it in a mere minute." He looks at her then turns his attention away from her to the gold cufflink on his right sleeve.
 
Leila looked at him and thought for a moment before she said "You take it...". She feared she wouldn't come back if she went to do it herself.
 
"Ill be back in a bit..." Ravel tells her as he places the bottle of red wine upon the table. He picks up the freshly written letter and walks to the window. He takes a deep breath and jumps from the already broken window door. He hops from rooftop to rooftop.
 
Leila nodded and she watched him leave. She sat down in the chair and waited for his return, looking down a little.
 
Ravel leaps from building to building. "It has to be done..." This too saddened him, but it was for the best. His steps were light but sluggish due to drinking so much wine. He jumps into the nearby tree and climbs down. He quietly walks down to the entrance of the house, and places the envelope upon the stoop. Once that was done he jumps back into the tree.
 
Leila looked down at her hands before she looked back at the wine. Pausing for a moment she reached out and grabbed the neck of the bottle and took a large swing of it, sculling down the contents before putting back an empty bottle. Immediately after she regretted doing that.
 
Ravel jumps back to the rooftops and stops for a minute or two to stare at the moon a the night sky. He blinks and shakes his head. He was becoming distracted. Ravel jumps over a few more roofs and lands on the balcony of his inn room. "Im back..." He tells Leila as he walks inside.
 
Leila looked up when she heard his voice. She was feeling tipsy already and was regretting downing the rest of that wine. She looked at him, her eyes drowsy and said "Hello" with a slur to her voice.
 
Ravel slugishly walks towards her and sits on the bed which was next to the chair where Leila sat. "How are you... feeling at the..moment." The wine taking greater effect. To be blunt he was drunk.
 
Leila looked at him and said "I feel...lonely....I can live forever...but one day...everyone I love will have died and will be alone" she said looking at him with a drunk and sad expression on her face.
 
"No...no you wont...Ill be there..." Ravel tries to tell her as clearly as he could. He tries to stand and walks to her. He places his hands upon her shoulders to comfort her. "Ill be here for you..." He looks at her, staring deep into her eyes.
 
Leila looked at him and said "You would stay and be with me?" she asked him as he put his hands on her shoulders.
 
"Yes..no matter what happened..." Ravel smiles at her and closes his eyes. He was getting easily dizzy from moving around so quickly. "Ill be here...with you..." Ravel wasnt sure how to act now...he tried to stay refined for her but he felt he was losing control. In a second, Ravel leans forward due to his dizziness and suddenly kisses Leila on the lips.
 
Leila looked at him and she heard him speak. He would be there for her then. She wasn't expecting the kiss, but her drunken mind welcomed it as a sign of comfort and she kissed him back.
