Acem sighed deeply and held the girl's hands, "My dear... I'm a spy, sent to steal the secrets of the town and sell it to my dark lords. But, your eyes, your hair... your lips, they proved greater over my struggle to please my gods. I cannot go through with it, not if I cannot spare you." He let go and took some steps away, "I'll have to kill myself."
"Acem! No!" She embraced him, "You cannot leave me!"
"I must, it's the only way." He hugged her back.
"Then let me come with you!" She sobbed.
"Nay! I cannot..." He turned his head away.
She gripped him, "Please! Let me, darling..." He stared into her eyes as she pulled his chin to her and kissed him. After a moment of their lips locked, he pulled away.
"Very well..." He took out a vial of white liquid and poured it into his mouth. He kissed her and slipped some of it into her's. She swallowed and smiled, " I love you..." And fell limp in his arms.
Acem smiled and spat out the sleeping serum out of his mouth and he threw her over his shoulder, taking out a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil from his white robe's pocket, " That's Daisy down. Hm, After I get her to a safe place, I have the night off." He smirked, he fucking loved his job.

Crei looked up from her Bloody Mary, which, in fact, was the blood from a girl. She watched Acem, her eyes scanning the man, before she shrugged, and looked back into her drink. She sighed, staring at the faint, red reflection of herself.
"No bounty's, no one worth killing."
She sighed. She hadn't had a real job that she had liked in a long, long while.

Acem stuffed the paper and pencil into his pocket as he came in. He leaned on the counter, "Room, please."
The keep nodded and tossed the teen a set of keys, getting a purse of gold in return. Acem took the girl into the room and laid her on the bed, as if she snoozed on it. Under her hand, he placed a rose and a note explaining how she survived from his 'Dark lords'. He studied her for a moment, floofed her hair out more, then headed back downstairs.
As he reached the bottom, he stretched and yawned, sitting at the bar, "Coffee, please." The keep nodded and headed into the back room.

Crei, this time, didn't bother to look up. She juststared into her drink, her two eyes narrowing. They didn't swirl, or block eachother out. They just stared at her reflection, pulling her faults into the light. She sighed, then looked up, her robotic arm tapping the table in boredom. She noticed Acem once more, but kept her body and mind both away from him.

Acem sucked on his tongue and spat out more of the sleeping potion into a nearby spittoon. He thanked the Keeper for the coffee and picked it up with both hands, blowing on it lightly and taking a sip. He coughed and put it down, wheezing a bit. It wasn't like the fine coffees he was used to from the collage. He sighed and rested his hand on his chin, then glanced to Crei. His blinked as he stared, then smirked.

Crei looked away from Acem. If she didn't look at him, she was in no trouble of, well, anything. She finished her blood off, then laid her head on the table with a yawn.
"Princess or not. I don't give a damn where I sleep."
She muttered to herself, not caring if anyone overheard her.

When she put her head down, he went back to his coffee, then froze at her comment. A princess? Hm, I wonder what kind of stories she has to tell... He looked at her, then took off his glasses and set them on the counter. He wanted a moment to relax without them, he didn't care if he couldn't see without them, for now.

Crei looked up once more, blinking at Acem. She sighed, and stood up. She knew how people with glasses were. She walked up to him, picked them up by their handles, and put them back on him.
"You look cuter with them."
She said, smiling a little, unable to resist it.

He blinked a few times at her, then smiled back as he adjusted them a little, "Thanks." He looked at his coffee, then back, "Join me, perhaps?" He gestured to the chair beside him.

Crei thought of rejecting, but smiled, and sat down in the chair beside him.
"I'd be glad to."
She grinned at him, then looked to the bartender.
"Bloody Mary, please. And, I mean, a real bloody mary."

Acem took a moment to take that in as the tender nodded and started on her order, then he looked at her, staring at her mouth, trying to get a look at her fangs. He smiled, a princess AND a vampire, this is my lucky day!
"May I ask your name?" He smiled charmingly.

"My name is Crei."
She replied, still watching the bartender make her drink. She then looked back at Acem with a small grin.

Acem smiled and offered a hand, "I'm Acem. You have a beautiful name, mi'lady."

Crei smiled now, before it faded as she looked away. Her mind seemingly became blank, and she had no idea what to say next.

"Are you from around here?' His hand reached up to take off his glasses, but he remember her remark and he smiled, leaving them on. He sipped his coffee and listened.

"Well, sort of. My grandfather's brother and his wife rule this kingdom. I actually live in Kestal, but, I come to Crysos for bounty hunting and the sorts."
Her gaze stayed away from Acem.
"You?"

Acem blinked then smiled, "Out of town. So, a niece to a king, eh? Sounds like you have a lot great stories to tell." He smirked, then sipped his coffee.

"Niece to a king, Granddaughter to another king, and daughter of a prince and princess. I'm related, somehow, to every part of the Royal Family."
Crei shrugged, tapping her fingers on the bar, waiting for her drink.

Acem choked on his coffee a bit and coughed.
The tender placed her drink before her, then waked to the other end of the bar to get the order of another customer.

Crei ignored the fact he was coughing, and picked up the blood. She took a sip of it, blinked, then coughed as well.
"Tastes funny."
She muttered, staring into it.

Acem wiped his mouth off with a napkin, but there was dark stains on his white robes. He looked at her, "What are you doing in such a disgusting place?"

"i'm a bounty hunter."
Crei held her head, groaning. She stood up.
"I'm sorry, but suddenly, I don't feel good..."
She started walking out quickly, her gun strapped to her back.
A man at the other end of the bar smirked. It would only take another few minutes, and Crei would be easy to target for him.

Acem watched after her with a frown, then he took off his glasses. He was starting to like her.

Crei collasped on the ground after she made it out of the Inn, and groaned. She couldn't feel her body anymore, and her eyes widened.
"Damn it.."
She whimpered, swallowing in fear. And fear was something she rarely faced.
The man stood up, and after a moment, started out of the Inn as well, and evil smirk on his face.

Acem finished off his coffee and paid for both he and the bloody Mary she had. He stood and groaned at the black stain on his bright clothes. He tried to brush it off as he headed out himself.
