Escape Fate into Another (Poseidon & I)

Reaching out he took her hand without looking "Then come run with me" he said with a smile. "Let me show you.... it's ok to want me" he said as he scooped her up "Trust me" he said and in a flash bolted out the balcony door running full speed as a blur to the woods. Setting her on her feet he took a deep breath and sighed "ahhh clean fresh air, perfect night for a run" he said turning to her still nude but with a smirk, "I'll make you a deal, I'll run, you hunt for me, no vampire tricks, you catch me.... I'll do what you ask of me, but if you can't before the sun starts to break the horizon when I have to take you home... then I get to win your heart by sharing my life, my history, with you to see I'm a man worth your time" he said with a grin.
 
"Magnus!" He had scooped her up and taken her away from her home only to have the pair arrive to the woods. Once he released her, she slapped him hard across his cheek. "How dare you! How dare you force me into playing a game for my heart!" She was beyond rage by now as he could have let things happen naturally but no he had to force it. She was roaring at him with her entire body shaking with her standing in the darkness of the woods. With rage building, her wolf side was revealing itself. Her emerald eyes began to glow in the darkness.

"My heart is not a bargaining chip, Magnus." Slowly she turned away from him and began to walk away. Sharp sticks cutting into the pads of her bare feet. The clothes began torn the more she traveled away from him.
 
"Lillian wait" he said following her trying to figure out what to do. "Please wait, listen please" he said getting her to stop. Magnus looked at her and then sighed "I don't know what I'm doing.... in fact I'm totally flying blind here.... and im.... I'm afraid" he admited. "Ive waited for so long for you.... the thought of flooding you, the only one who can make me feel alive again.... the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on.... I don't know what to do to earn your love..... you may not need me.... but I both want and need you" he said softly hanging his face in shame.
 
"I figured a man who lived as long as you would know not to..." Stopping herself as it hit her that he shut himself off from the world and he was old fashion. "I told you the last man I truly loved wooed me. By his actions but you're forcing this...You're not letting it happen naturally." Blood trickled from the cuts on her legs and on her feet. "Rushing is the way to make me run away from you."
 
"And... and if you marry another...." he looked close to panic. There it was.... he was panicked and for the first time in his life ever.... he was afraid, afraid not for his life, not of being discovered, not even of dying, he was afraid to loose her, to loose the only one he wanted.
 
She stood there in silence not sure what to say to him. Her hands ran up as she crossed her arms over her breasts with her looking away from him. "Magnus.... We... its my choice who I bed." Sighing as she turned her back to him. "I told you that when I want someone then you should worry. As the person I want then would have won my heart."
 
Magnus nodded his understanding, his face hidden by his long hair. "Forgive me" he said before scooping her up and in a flash had set her on her toilet. He was a blur as he tended her wounds and made sure her feet were perfectly clean, her home spotless, all traces he'd been there gone as his suit by now was dry. Standing before her dressed he gently took her hand and stood her up.
 
Home, she sat there in silence and yet as she stood up with her hand in his own. "I'm not rejecting you..." Her voice was soft as she reached up pushing his hair from her face. "Your old ways won't work on me. Show me kindness, patience, and when time has passed then when a bond has formed then perhaps some play can happen."
 
"I'm afraid" he said it so softly it would pass for a whisper. "For my kind.... the old ones like me.... finding there lifemate is rare" he said as he was trying to be brave. Gently holding her hand with his he kissed her palm
"All I want is your love, genuine and true" he said softly.
 
The moment he kissed her palm made her blush. A weak smile crossed her lips as she looked at him with her free hand moving to his cheek. "The way you just acted. Kissing my palm is a good start of it all."
 
"Would you do me the honor of joining me at the theatre tomorrow? Allow me to make things right" he said tenderly as he reactivly nuzzled his face into her hand. He held her hand in both of his, cradling it like a sacred treasure.
 
Once more silence filled the air. She had rejected the offer before but it was the fact she was with Jason and she didn't want Magnus near him. "Where, when, what is the dress attire?" She actually accepted his invite to join him. If he was wanting to make things right then who was she for telling him no?
 
He smiled softly and looked her in the eyes "uptown prestige hall, tomorrow night, 7pm, my limo will pick you up, semi formal" he said before kissing her palm again. "I hope you don't have other plans, it's a 3 hour show" he said and looked down at there hands half expecting her to change her mind.
 
"I don't. At the museum I backed off as you know why....Jason. Things are up in the air and you just happen to come in at a crazy time." Laughing softly as her body was screaming for rest. "Why don't you go home and rest. I imagine you're mentally exhausted."
 
"I'm actually very much awake, I think I rested too much" he said with a crooked smile. "But I shall go, not because I wish to, but because you asked me to" he said kissing he palm and holding it to his face before releasing her hands and slowly backed away towards her door keeping his focus on her alone. "Until the evening my lady" he said with a half bow of respect and old world charm before he vanished.
 
With him vanishing in thin air, she shut her door then locked it. Silently she went around turning lights off in her apartment before stripping from her soiled clothes to slipping into a baggy shirt. After retiring to bed she fell to sleep suddenly.
 
Magnus was a blur of activity as he made arrangements for a perfect night. Booking the best seats in the theater high above the others, booking a seat at the best restaurant in the city so she can have a fine meal, and even arranging an enchanting carriage ride through the park. Magnus totally ignored the sun as he worked missing the fact he was once again able to stand in the light having fed his fill and regained his strength.
 
His sons didn't disappoint on providing him the blood he needed but were shocked he didn't order them to make the arrangements. The men were keeping an eye on the woman that their father seemed interested in. While their father was out making arrangements they watched as Lillian went out shopping for that night. A man with a small boy accompanied her while the man paid for the new clothes and such.
 
Horus and Ahmon were both confused but had learned the only connection between the man and her was the boy. Still they decided it best to ensure her safety 24/7 lest there dark father's wrath bring ruin and death to the whole city if not the whole country. They knew only the elders could stop him, and it would take all 9 of them to do it.
 
It was clear Dereck wasn't pleased his ex was going on a date or an outing but his son was happy to help pick the dresses. He paid for them as Lillian has done a lot for his son Jason. In silence he paid for the fine dresses and escorted her out with her on his arm and him holding the bags while his son took her free hand. His framed eyes looked in the distance watching Horus and Ahmon carefully and by his body language he was shielding the two people he cared about. The group went off as Lillian left the two gentlemen and went into her apartment. Though in the shadows a small pack of werewolves had been watching the scene already planning an attack on the humans who held a special place in Lillian's life.
 
Ahmon by chance decided to follow the boy and his father. Magnus seemed fond of the child and as far as Ahmon was concerned that made them brothers already. Horus remained watching Lillian get ready to share a night with magnus.
 
Dereck held his sons hand while they got a taxi then was taken home. Dereck was human but his instinct of being preyed upon was strong. Once in his penthouse he got his son's lunch going.

Lillian was washing the new clothes while she took care of the rest of the things. Hours went by as she got dressed, placed bit of make up on with her grabbing her new satin clutch purse.
 
Right on time the limo with Magnus arrived and awaited Lillian to come. Horus readied to follow while Ahmon was getting bored watching the humans. The boy he liked but the boys father he didn't just cause he viewed the man as a risk to all Magnus wanted and could be.
 
Slowly she walked out of the apartment complex in a knee length black dress, it was stitched at her waist level to flatter her figure, the sleeves were 3/4 of the length of her arms to reveal the diamond bracelet. Her long hair was French braided from her face with her lips painted a soft red.
 
The driver opened the soar to allow Magnus out. He wore a 3 price black silk suit with a deep red satin dress shirt, his long hair loosely tied back giving him an air of elegant strength. "Lillian, I am honoured by you company tonight" he said taking her hand with a slight bow to kiss her knuckles tenderly.
