Lying Eyes

SHe walked along a path that seemed to be slightly worn as if many had traveled it at one time. Yet, there was no one in sight.

The walk seemed as if it was going on and on until Catalina stopped.

"You said no other was with you...someone is following."

She turned to Gemma with anger in her eyes.

[Gemma Ward]

"I swear, I don't know of anyone following me." Gemma replied startled by Catalina's accusation. "I came to this land alone, and as far as I know I am alone save for you and him."

She glared for a moment looking among the two strangers.

She turned abruptly and her pace quickened as she made her way to what loked like a stone house...tall...it looked aged and overgrown and was still in the distance

[Gemma Ward]

Gemma hasted to follow catalina to the house. She hoped that none of the others had chosen to follow her. This was to be her time to sort out her thoughts. They had no reson and no right to follow her.

Al just shook his head as his ears swiveled to listen to what remained behind. He fallowed slowly, hands in pockets.

The house stood tall with various overgrown plants and vines; having a medieval feel to it. There was a stone side walk which led up to a large wooden door. There was a small but visible crest in the center of the door. The house was aged, none could argue with that, and there was a certain tension in the air as if it had a history...

Catalina got to the door and it opened. Being that there was no one in the near surrounding areas it was apparent that she did not feel the need to lock the doors.

There was a long dark hallway in front as she entered and to her right was an old coat rack where she rested her cloak.

"You may place your cloaks here...."

She said it in a flippant tone as she continued to walk foward, seemingly ignoring her guests.

[Gemma Ward]

After setting down her pack, Gemma followed quickly after Catalina. "Is there a place I can wash up at?" She asked. She was soaked to the bone from standing on the cliffs, and hadn't had a chance to wash up in a few days.

Abruptly Catalina stopped and turned towards Gemma looking at her starting at her feet and working her way finally up to her eyes. Once she reached her eyes she turned away again.

"Follow me..."

[Gemma Ward]

Gemma hastened her step to follow Catalina. "This is a lovely place."

Gemma generally hated small talk, but she decided she should make some effort. "I...uh...I..." She paused, "I'm Gemma." She said and waited for a response. Not getting one right away she added "I'd like to thank you for extending an invitation to stay with you tonight. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't offered shelter."

[Cain]

Al entered looking around as steam drifted off of him. He was drying rather quickly despite how wet it had been outside.
"I'll uh..I'll hold onto my cloak if you don't mind."
