Leaving Groggum

~Listen to Not gonna get us by t.A.T.u

As they took only a 3 hour nap together, Aarie woke up to a strange sound outside of the little building complex. He peeked out of the small window, not seeing anything or any one around he went back to the bed to wake up Rose from her sleep.

"It's time to go, let's pack up and forget this place." Aarie said staring at Rose sleeping peacefully with her long dark brown lashes covering her bright blue eyes. Her curly golden hair in her face. He took her hair to put it behind her elf ear. "Rose?" Aarie said trying to wake her again. This time she finally woke up looking at him, she smiled. "Hey Aarie." Aarie smiled back. "Sorry I didn't let you sleep long... but it sounds like we've got some one outside waiting for us... I think we really should leave, before something bad happens." He looked at her with a serious face. Rose sighed and she finally got up to get ready to pack what all she had into her back pack. Not owning that many articles of clothings, and only having one pair of her brown boots that she threw on at the moment, she sighed and then packed up her bow and arrows with her quiver.

Aarie sat at the edge of the bed watching her. "Aren't you going to need any of your stuff Aarie ? What about your mom and baby brother Jameson ?" Rose was worried about them even though she hasn't met them yet. Aarie shrugged at her

"I will be back, don't worry. As soon as things calm down with Mike and maybe that King, we will come back. We will sneak around. Don't worry we will just leave for a day or 3." He said combing through his messy red curls, making his curls stick all around his head. Even with his messy hair he was still pretty handsome in Roses eyes.

He caught her staring at him and this made Aarie blush. "What ?" He asked her wondering what's on that mind of hers. "Nothing at all..." she mumbled and continued to pack the last dress she had on the floor, it was one of the dresses the tailors made for her on her first days being in Groggum.

"I still owe those two for the stuff.. I owe the healers as well... and what about Stella ?" She looked at Aarie worried about the priestess that lives in a strange under ground room under the castle of Stormwind. She hated the fact that the king snuck around into her chambers at night and didn't even court the young woman properly. Aarie stared at Rose unsure of what she meant.

Rose sighed and then shook her head and smiled at Aarie like no big deal. "Oh, never mind. Just the king sucks. Also, I thought Vampires are considered Horde not Alliance ?" Rose said raising her brow in question. Aarie shrugged his shoulders at her "well, I don't know, I think they can be whatever side they choose. Or maybe they can even be their own side too." Rose sighed at Aarie and stuck her back pack on.

"Well, are we ready now? It's about 3:30 in the morning now... only got a little sleep. But I think I hear something and we should get going." Rose stared at Aarie for a second then said "I don't sense any rogues either... I don't hear anything. You must have better hearing than I do then." Rose smiled at him then finally walked to the front door. Aarie stopped her before she went to open the door, gently pushing her back. "Wait, I'll go first." He said quietly in a whisper.

He peered through the door looking left and right not seeing a single person in sight. The sky was dark full of stars and some planets. Owls and frogs made noises every now and then. There was rustling of a nearby bush. Aarie turned to look at Rose and motioned for her to walk behind him. "Stay close to me. I sense some one is in the bush over there." He said looking at the bush, but he didn't look scared more like he wanted them to be afraid of him. He looked intimidating tonight. Rose stared at him wondering what's gotten into him.

"Aarie." Rose whispered quietly. He grabbed her hand and darted away from the little building complex. Something dark and big came running towards them out of the bushes. Rose gasped running faster trying to keep up with Aries longer legs and quickness. He managed to run past Rose. "Dude slow down!" She yelled at him as he got a few feet ahead of her. "Your quicker than me being a better hunter than I am... come on!" She turned her head quickly almost getting whiplash seeing the dark figure hovering a few feet from her. She froze in her steps. Aarie stared at her and the figure unable to see to distinguish what or who it was in the dark, even though there where stars out. He then ran towards Rose at his full hunter speed.

"Get the fuck away from her !" Aarie yelled and grabbed on to Rose and running away from the mysterious person. The dark figure chuckled deeply with a sexy manly voice. Then his eyes lit up being fiery red and glowing along with the night sky. But they where stunningly pretty dark ruby red or even dark red like a Rose from a garden. It was no one other than the king himself standing there looking at them!

Aarie kept running now holding Rose in his arms not letting her down. Running with his sprinting abilities he could reach up to 50 miles per hour!

Everything went by them as a blur. Rose couldn't believe how fast his hunter Sprinting mode was! She felt dizzy so she closed her eyes. She never got the chance to see how fast his ability really was until now. She can only run up to 30 mph, because she was still learning as a noob Huntress. She heard his heavy but steady breathing as he Sprinted with her in his arms through the thicket of the Twilight forest. By Rose couldn't tell they where in that scary forest again. He didn't say anything to her not wanting to scare her more than she was.

As soon as they reached a small old black and white inn, Aarie gently put Rose down looking at her to see if she was ok. She smiled at him and yawned sleepily. "Let's go inside for the night." He said and opened the inns door seeing an old lady at the front desk with a wrinkly smile on her face, she was very short and looked like she was just an old dwarf. She had long white braids and a moon necklace on her neck that hung over her pink gown. She was a priest dwarf. Rose sighed and looked around her surroundings not sure where they where at, then stepped inside the old inn and seeing the old woman smiling brightly at them she couldn't help but smile back at her. She had a name tag that read Marcy on it.

"Oh, welcome welcome young ones!" The old woman named Marcy greeted them happily. Aarie smiled at her and stepped closer to the front desk. "I need a room for a night or two..." he said then brought out a couple coins from his pocket and handed it to the old woman. She smiled and gave him a room key that had the number 2 on it. "Your room will be on the left as soon as you get upstairs. Let me know if you will be needing anything just ring the bell on the wall if needed." Aarie smiled at her and took Roses hand and finally went up the old creaky stairs.

As they entered the smallish room, there was a nice king sized bed made and waiting for them. Rose smiled and jumped right in not giving a care in the world about taking her boots off. Her face was smooshed in between the two huge pillows that had gold pillow cases on them, the blanket on the bed also was gold in color giving the room a happy and cozy feeling in it. There was also a small lit fire on the left of them making the room warm during the cold night. Aarie sighed and took off his boots laying beside Rose in the bed. He snuggled up against her, she was still half awake and she blushed feeling his warm body against hers. She let out a sigh and said "Aarie, are we going to be ok? I think that figure in the dark might of been that creepy king... my hunter abilities slightly sensed that it was him... like when I met him I felt the same creepy aura that I did tonight. And also I can sense rogues too, so maybe he's a rogue and not just a vampire ? Doesn't everyone have a class ?" She asked him nervously and Aarie put his arms around her and hugged her.

"Yes, everyone or every race has a class that they are born into that has certain abilities. Like some night elves are hunters some are rogues, others warriors, priests, druids, and shamans, same goes for vampires, gnomes, dwarves and so on... But, I think it could of been the king. I sensed an evil presence from

That dark figure too... It didn't seem like it was Mike... he would of made himself known if it was him, after all he's an asshole know it all any ways, but he's sorta polite in that kind of way by letting his presence be known. I didn't get the chance to meet the king yet. I stayed clear of him. Mikes presence is a bit iffy as well but it's not evil like that one was." Aarie said unhappy about tonight's event that took place. His heart almost jumped out of his chest seeing that person go near his precious girlfriend. He would of murdered whoever it was that would of hurt her with no hesitation. He hugged her more tightly. Rose grew more worried.

"Are you angry about what happened ? You ran past me and I couldn't keep up with you!" Rose was starting to get a little teary eyed and her voice cracked at the end.

Aarie noticed this and he said "don't cry.., I didn't mean to run past you, or for you to almost get hurt or kidnapped. I'm sorry. I thought you would of kept up with me by now you've learned quite fast with your hunting skills. I'm sorry Rose." He kissed the back of her head.

Rose smiled at this and she turned around facing him with their faces just inches apart breathing in each other's scent making Rose feel a little light headed as Aaries sweet manly scent turned her on. Of course this did the same for him too, but they where too afraid to say anything. Aaries hand reached out to Roses face stroking her cheek and then slowly leaning into her face to gently kiss her soft red lips. His scruffy chin brushing against hers, it felt almost like sand paper. She scooted back from him and looked at him questionably. "What ?" Aarie asked wondering why she gave him that look after he kissed her. 'Did she not like that?' Aarie asked himself.

Rose blushed and said "I love you Aarie. I'm glad I have you in my life and that you have saved me In that dark creepy forest. I don't say this often, but I really mean it. Despite our ups and downs, I do love you." Rose said sighing with her deep ocean blue eyes holding Aaries bright forest green eyes captive as if he has found the one meant for him, and he wants to make this relationship work with her, and marry her soon. They where both good for each other, with good intentions and good hearts, and they also looked very good together both being very attractive night elves, they can't help but fall further in love with one another. Rose kissed Aarie again sweetly holding him in her arms. He hugged her back and said "I love you too very much" he stroked her long soft hair for a few minutes and then she drifted off into sleep in his arms.
