Time for rest

After another hour or so of walking we made it back into town and arrived in front of one of the smaller inns. The name of this inn was 'The Jacks Trade' and was more used as a gambling hall than an actual inn. From the exterior it looked a bit run down with its scuffed and worn sign with the painting of the "Devil" and it's name planted on it. The paint was slightly peeling and weathering could clearly bee seen on the porch. At night a lantern hung from a hook sticking out from the roof of the porch that made it look a bit of both sketchy and creepy at the same time, but it was ok, that is having the least amount of bar fights out of any other place.

"The owner is ok, he isn't exactly the nicest person but I respect him. Apparently I had collapsed nearby his place and some creeps were going to r*pe me but he had helped me out. He fed me washed me and gave me a place to stay for a while. Of course it wasn't for free, he is quite stingy and shrewd but he's ok. I eventually left but I had a decent time here." I told Sharla while standing in front of the inn with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Why'd you leave?"

"Meh, I got sick of the guy."

Sharla looked at me with astonishment before I promptly entered the building. When I entered the building the first thing I spotted was a young man that looked to be in his twenties. He had jet black hair, hazel eyes, a well built body and a smile that would make even a married woman of ten years fall madly in love with him, and yes it has been proven. Of course that's just a facade, he was a total pervert and when he 'helped me out' he was really just trying to keep me to himself. He was into younger girls and when I was done with work he would "secretly" take my dirty cloths and do things with them that I would rather burn out of my memory. Of course I wouldn't tell Sharla that or she would probably be traumatized. When he tried to get with me I left immediately.

When we walked up to the counter he greeted us with his signature smile, "How may I help two young beauties such as you?"

"We'd like to stay the night." I said while glaring at him.

When he had noticed Sharla he had started to eye her like a prized possession. I looked over to Sharla only to see she had quite the indifferent attitude, it was honestly quite shocking as usually any teenage girl like her would ogle him. Of course he excepted them all and I'm quite sure all of them have done it with him at least once. I'm also quite sure after their teenage years he would throw them away, I've never seen him really enjoy the company of anyone over the age of twenty unless they looked young.

"That'll be ten copper each." He said in a calm and almost soothing tone that would make most fall for him.

When he said this I plunged my hand into my pocket and pulled some money out. I wasn't actually carrying any money in my pocket, I just did it so that no questions would be raised about my 'gift'. After giving me a key we promptly left him behind. When I looked back I caught him ogling our butts. 'Dirty Bastard' I said in my head.

After getting settled in we left for the bath to wash up. When we got there I immediately looked for peep holes or anything else used to see into.

When Sharla saw this she was greatly confused and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"There's a rat nearby that likes to peep on young girls." I said firmly

When Sharla heard this she became even more confused but decided not to push any further.

After finishing my search I was pleasantly surprised to not find any peep holes. Of course he might have found a new way to peep but it was already late and I was tired. When I got all of the dirt and grime off my body Sharla looked at me with a look of astonishment. It was quite obviously because of my hair that I had to conceal due to that fact it was too eye catching.

"Such pretty hair" Sharla said.

Just as Sharla said my hair was quite beautiful and rare. It's not commonly known since it has been thousands of years since it has been seen. "Yes it is quite pretty" I said a little proudly, "According to the old man that used to take care of me, my family comes from a prominent royal bloodline from the vampire race. Of course the bloodline was diluted so much that there are only some cosmetic features left, such as having white hair or red eyes which dignified being of vampire vampire royalty. But you must not tell anyone as this is my families most well kept secret. That and no one would believe you and think you were mad. The reason for this is because vampire royalty is a long forgotten race and now only cheap imitations created by a long forgotten madman remain." I said dramatically , "Of course it could have been the ramblings of an old man but you never know!" I said

"I will take this secret to the grave!" Sharla said. Surprisingly she seemed to look at me a little admiringly.

"Who ever said you were dying?" I said with a devilish grin. Sharla lowered her head and didn't say anything for the rest of bath witch kind of worried me but I thought she might just be contemplating today's event's and let her be.

When we returned I immediately locked the door and put a chair under the handle just in case some undesirable decides to come in. After that we both climbed into our own bed.

After a while I thought Sharla had fallen asleep and I had decided to pass out myself when i heard the rustling of sheet and light foot steps. When opened my eyes Sharla was standing over me while blushing profusely. "May I sleep with you tonight?"

In response to her question I scooted over and said, "Of course."

Finally after a while she had finally fallen asleep. Upon closer inspection she had bruises and scar covering her body. Before people might have seen her as a disgusting beggar but after a good scrubbing she was quite beautiful despite all the scars and bruises. She was about 5 and a half feet tall with ebony colored hair and eyes the color you'd expect to see in the ocean.

All of the sudden I felt a weird sensation in my heart that I had never felt before, I could physically feel my cheeks reddening and a weird want to kiss her came over me.

At first I tried controlling it but failed to do so. I planted a light kiss right on her forehead.

"Oh~ what am I doing. AH! that's it, it's because I'm tired. Yeah, yeah it's because I'm tired that I'm acting this way." I tried deluding myself but deep down that wasn't because of exhaustion.

I decided to act as if it never happened and to check my status.
