Wesley tasted his stew one last time before deciding that it was just right. He picked up the large pot with oven mits on each hand and sat it on the counter with a loud thud. He turned around and signaled to one of the kitchen hands to grab some bowls and follow him up on deck for feeding time. The boy came over with a couple of towers of bowls in hand ready to go.
Wesley quickly grabbed a ladle and stuck it in the soup for serving. Once again he leaned over the pot and picked it up. As he came up however he smacked the back of his head on the shelf causing a large bag of flour to fall over and dump on Wesley's head, covering his face and most of his torso in flour. He let out a breath and blinked a couple of times as the boy laughed at him almost dropping the bowls.
"Yeah, yeah, ha ha ha. You better stop laughing cause you're the one that's gonna be cleaning this up when we get back." Wesley said slightly annoyed. The boy stopped laughing, but continued to smile. Wesley shook his head which did little to get rid of the flour. He growled a bit at his own clumsiness but reluctantly walked to the place where the human food was kept doing his best to ignore the laughs and comments he got.
When he finally got up to where the area just below deck where the food was kept he saw Puck with a very striking young woman. There was somthing about her that made him pause. He paused for a moment longer than he should have because the boy who was not paying attention walked into him causing Wes to move forward and burn his stomach on the pot.
"Bloody hell!" He shouted in pain. "Watch where you're going Tom!" He said before continuing to walk agian making sure not to look back at the girl. Puck kind of creeped him out and he did not wish to draw attention.

Puck nodded and smiled, eyes glancing back to where the cook had food. "The cook has brought food you humans, would you like to continue our walk or eat?" He said cooly.

"I do not, he is not serving anything that I could eat." He said and smiled looking out over the sea. "So do you belive in these monsters?"

"It depends. I believe that monsters have many guises, including human forms." She said casually.

"Yes, the sea is beautiful, and dangerous at the same time." Catherine said, looking out at the sea with an awe.

"As everything is." He said wistfully and smiled. "And you are not afraid of these monsters??" He said and looked at her, eyes back to green.

"It depends." She said slyly. "It depends on why they are after me, and what they could offer."

Puck looked starbord and shrugged. He could see heavy laden rain clouds headed thier way. "It won't hold, there's rain on the horizen." He said calmly.

"Well, let us hope that it will not be a bad storm. I really do not want to be with the other people below if the sea gets too rough." She said with some slight disgust.

Lillian listened to conversations among the ship as she laid there. Nothing interesting seemed to be going on that day though. She sighed and turned over in her bed deciding that a nap sounded like a good idea and she let her mind slowly drift into unconsciousness.
A smiling Lillian lay under a tree her head on the bare chest of a man the full moon shining brightly on them. The man was tall and strong with jet black hair falling into his dreamy clear blue eyes. He leaned down and kissed Lillian on the top of the head. She smiled and kissed his chest then kissed him again a little higher and so on until she reached his lips where she paused for a longer kiss. She pulled back as he lay a hand on one side of her cheek. She held his hand there and looked adoringly in his eyes.
“My father doesn’t want me to see you anymore.” She said breaking the silence.
“Your father never wanted you to see me.” He said with a mischievous grin. “That hasn’t stopped us yet though.” He leaned forward to kiss her again but she pulled back and sat up.
“I know, but he sounded really angry this time Luke. I think he might know that we’re vampires.” She said sounding worried.
“Don’t worry about it Lil.” He said assuringly sitting up slightly and pulling her back to his chest. “I’ll be fine.”
She sighed still worried, but not wanting to push it. So she nodded. “Alright…just promise me you’ll be careful.”
He pulled her up so they were level and looked in her eyes. “Look, I’ll be fine. I’m not leaving you ok?”
She smiled at him, unable to resist his blue eyes. “Ok, you’re probably right.” She said and leaned her forehead against his.
“Of course I am.” He said wrapping his arms around her and kissing her. He quickly and gently laid her on the ground and the laid on top of her. She laughed softly but did not mind. He was kissing neck when he stopped suddenly and sat straight up. Lillian sat up too.
“What’s wrong?” She asked him. He was looking off at something she couldn’t see.
“Go, now. Run, and hide somewhere.” He said once he looked back up at her. He stood up and pulled her up too.
“No Luke! What’s going on?!” She almost shouted.
“Lil, I can’t explain right now, but you need to go. Please! I don’t want you to get hurt.” He said forcibly. She looked at him almost in tears, but he just shook his head. “Go.” He said again. She finally nodded her head and turned and ran into the forest. She got a good distance away, but stopped before she got so far she couldn’t see anymore, which was pretty far thanks to her new vampire ablities. She couldn’t really hear very well however.
Suddenly a tall dark man appeared on opposite Luke. There were some words exchanged that Lillian could not quite hear, but she could tell this man was no friend. The man pulled out a sword gleaming with red and gold. He lunged a couple of times at Luke and missed. Lillian felt confident for a little that Luke would get out of this alive, when the man finally stabbed him in the leg.
Luke cried out in pain, but tried to ignore it. He was however at a disadvantage seeing as he had no weapons. Just get out of there Luke! She mind spoke to him.
Luke turned whipped around surprised she was still there. I told you to go! He told her, though he should have been paying attention to the man because in the second he was not paying attention he came up and stabbed Luke in the heart. Luke fell to his knees dying as he realized the blade was forged with firestone. He looked back at Lillian again. I love you. He told her before he fell face first on the ground.
“No!!” Lillian shouted sitting straight up as she woke up from the dream, well memory that she hadn’t thought of in so long. She held her head in her hands as she tried to stop the tears before they poured out of her eyes.
