With an Elephant in the Room (Greyz)

[Grayzers]

(Okay lol sorry again about the confusion!)

Cara gripped her arm as she followed him, hoping they'd reach her world in a short amount of time. Her arm was burning with pain, and she knew shed need a lot of stitches for the darn thing. She wacthed the back of Laeric, smiling slightly to herself. This was the second time he'd saved her life, not that she'd asked for it, but he had anyways. It made her feel, jovial almost.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Instead of leading her to the portal, he led her through the forest to his special hideout... a hideout that was charmed so that one couldn't leave without his permission. It was the perfect place to trap her, and a smile rose to his lips just thinking about it.

[Grayzers]

Cara didn't suspect a thing. She followed willingly, a small smile on her face.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

He stepped over the invisible line and felt a cool feeling glide over his skin, like the touch of a breeze. At the center of the small area, there was a quaint little cabin, which he opened the door to.

[Grayzers]

Cara raised a brow, "I thought portals were in the middle of nowhere?" She asked, looking at him. She didn't enter the cabin just yet.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Ah, yes," Laeric said. "I changed my mind. I thought it would be better if I treated you."

[Grayzers]

"Well.. that's nice of you. Uh... do you have medicine?" She asked, walking inside. She didn't know how she felt about him not being a professional.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"No supplies, but I have an elixir that will help you heal. It will stop the bleeding, too," he said.

[Grayzers]

"Oh. Okay." She said, glancing around the cabin.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric went to his little kitchen and prepared the elixir. Then he brought it to her. "Drink up," he said with a smile.

[Grayzers]

She frowned slightly, "this better taste better than it looks..." she grumbled, taking it gingerly. He hadn't given her a reason not to trust him, so she downed it without a second thought, looking at him afterwards.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

His lips curled into a crooked smile. "How was it?" He honestly had no idea how it tasted.

[Grayzers]

She blinked a few times, "it actually didn't taste very good." She said, peering at her arm. "How fast does this stuff work?" She yawned.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric just smiling, knowing the elixir, which was a sleeping draft as well as a healing potion, started working almost immediately. Any second now...

[Grayzers]

Cara's knees started to go week and body began to tingle. She frowned and looked up at him. "What... what did you put in that?" She asked, her vision starting to blur. "I trusted you!" She gasped, her hand going for her sword, but it was too late. She crumpled to the floor in an ungraceful manner and lay there unconscious, though her arm was healed.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric snorted. "Poor girl. So trusting." He lifted her off the ground and carried her to the bed in the next room. He laid her down and walked over to the window. She'd wake in an hour or two, and her arm would be perfectly fine. In the meantime, he could go get supplies.

[Grayzers]

Cara's sword slipped from her belt onto the floor, but she made no motion. The only thing that proved she was alive was the slight rise and fall of her chest. On the inside, she was a tornado of emotions. Anger was the main one. She would hurt him for betraying her the moment she woke up.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric left the cottage, not worried about her leaving since the house was warded. He returned to court--the Unseelie, since he didn't want to explain anything to the Seelie king--and packed a bag full of things he might need over the next few days.

[Grayzers]

Kara did wake up as he expected. she groaned ,sitting up and looking around. her hand went searching for her sword immediately ,and she hissed when she didnt find it. she jumped off the bed ,looking around for Laeric. she found the front door and walked outside ,looking around. "sh*t..." she muttered.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric had just returned and made his way toward the kitchen. Then he spotted her and smiled. "Ah, you're awake. Good. How do you feel?"
