Frost nodded his head in a reply that he will keep her offer. He stops and turns to her as he lowers his head. "Why did you do those things? Why did you sell your body to those un-greatful men?"

Erika sighs and looks at him. "The main reason was to stay alive at the time. It was the only road open to me beside trying to find someone who was sympathetic to me." She looks down at the ground. "But no one would. My dad eliminated all respect for anyone in my family with the things he did. There was no one that felt bad for me because I had a chance to leave before I did. All I was thinking about was food and shelter. The first offer I got came with one condition: what you call selling my body." She pauses, thinking deeper and racking her brain for a better answer. "I think I stayed for a while because I thought I was helping people. I was too young to really know any better. All I saw was the happiness the men saw at the end of the night." She finally looks back up at him. "Once I became an assassin, I stayed with the first job as a cover. I left when I finally realized what a stupid thing I'd done with my life."

Frost looks at her and says, "I wish I could have helped in some way but that is not my burden to carry. It is and was your life, not mine. I'm glad you saw the errors of your ways..." He began to walk again, but not towards the dorms but towards the forest again.

"Well, thanks, I guess," she says, stunned. Erika quickly recovers and looks between Frost and the dorms. She decides to follow Frost. She hadn't really wanted to go back to the castle in the first place. "I don't normally even tell people of my life before... well, now. It makes transitions easier and there's less drama. But I guess I have a soft spot for people in a position like mine. I also tend to overreact when I feel like I need to defend myself.... So what's your name anyway? We've been talking for a while and we haven't even gotten through the introduction phase... Seems a little backwards."

"Maybe, maybe not." He looks at her and takes her hand in his. He kisses the back of her hand and says, "Frost." That one word was made to shiver up and down her spine. He let go of her hand and continued to walk into the forest. He said back over his shoulder, "And your name m'lady?"

"Erika," she says, barely affected by his old-fashioned mannerisms. Erika quickly catches up to him. "So, you now know basically my entire history. Granted there's missing details like the weather, but you get the gist of it. Do I get to know any of the history of the vampire?" She smirks at him slyly. "Or do you think I'd be scared out of my wits?"

He turned and gave her a completely impassive face and says, "Don't joke if you dont know what youre in for." He took off his cloak and wrapped it around her so she wouldn't start to get cold. "I lived a long life, finally found love and then my love dissapeared. That's about it..." He hid his face away from her so that she wouldn't see the emotion in his eyes.

Erika is surprised by the cloak being put around her shoulders. She didn't think that he would care enough to do that. "The girl you were thinking of earlier? You loved her... Well, that definitely explains it then," she says more to herself than to him. Then she looks up at him. "I'm sorry if I said anything stupid about that... Another bad habit of mine. Speaking before thinking..."

"It's fine. I'm used to it by now. I've been putting up with it a lot recently. I'm sorry for my earlier behaviors. You just..." He trailed off and leaned up against a tree.

"Yeah.. I know. I get that one a lot too." Erika wraps the cloak a bit tighter around her, starting to get a little cold, but glad for the warmth. "I do actually have one question though. Strictly out of curiosity. I promise I won't be mad if you don't answer." She looks him in the eyes. "What's it like kissing a vampire? Did she ever describe it to you? Like, do the fangs get in the way or..." She trails off, not knowing how to finish the thought.

He turns his head up to look at her and there is lust in his eyes. "I can't help but to want to show you....." He slams his back up against the tree in frustration. He whispers to himself, not really meaning for her to hear, "But I can't, I just can't do it. Not now." He runs his hands through his thick hair and his skin gleams in the moonlight through the fishnet shirt he was wearing.

Erika barely hears the second part and nods. "I figured you wouldn't show me. Not after, you know. Like I said, I was only curious." She smiles a bit to show him that she was serious. She was actually starting to like this guy. She knew every guy had a soft side and it was just a matter of finding it; Frost had shown his rather quickly because of recent events. But she was also entertained by his cocky, arrogant side.

He looked at her and said, "It's not you, it's just you remind me a lot of her, but then you are so different than her. I just have to let her go...." He sighed and then a moment later, his arrogance was all over his face again. He pushed off of the tree he had been leaning on and stalked towards her. He pushed her back against a tree and pinned her arms behind her back, giving her no room to manuver. He leaned down by her neck and grazed his fangs against her pressure point to the side of the neck. He then came back up to her face and pressed his lips forcefully against hers, forcing her mouth open with his tounge.

Erika gives him a look of sympathy at his explanation, but doesn't inquire any further. But when he pushes her back, she looks up at him with a confused expression until he grazes his fangs against her neck. A shiver goes down her back causing her to tremble involuntarily. She hadn't felt like that in all her years of pleasing men. Never once had she felt anything for the other person. Sheis glad he has her pinned against the tree or she would probably have fallen to the floor by then. When he kisses her, her eyes widen and she gasps slightly in response to the forcefulness, but the shock wears off in an instant. Then her eyes flutter shut and she is kissing him back just as fervently, opening her mouth to him.

Frost smiles into the kiss, grabing the back of her head and chuckling to himself. He then lets her go reluctantly. "So, How's that?" He says grinning.

Erika leans her head back against the tree behind her, panting, when he lets her go. She hadn't wanted him to let her go, but she also realized that she needed to breathe. She doesn't say anything to him right away, but instead concentrates on getting her heart rate and breathing in check. When she finally thinks she can control her voice, she looks up at him and manages to shrug, though her arms are still trapped behind her. "Well, I've had better," she says. "You've got potential, I'll give you that." She grins slyly up at him to show that she's just teasing. "I'm sure if you tried again you could prove that you're better."

Frost chuckled and said, "Well, I'm sure that's exactly what you would want me to do. But I think I'll just leave you alone to your own fantasies." He sits down at the base of a near by tree and rests his head back against the body of the tree.

Erika laughs quietly. She frees her arms when he moves away and rubs her wrists to get the feeling back in them. She slides down the tree to sit at the base of it and looks at Frost. Her mind starts racing at his comment about fantasies. She unwillingly begins listing off all the things she would love to do to him, but quickly shakes her head to try to stop that train of thought. "That's probably more dangerous than actually continuing," she says. She looks at him and grins. "My fantasies can get pretty vivid."

He laughs and says, "Yeah, I get that a lot. You'd be surprised at how many people want a vamp." hE LOOKS AT HER AND SAYS, "So, tell me one thing that you want me to know about you."

"It's not even the fact that you're a vampire," she says. "It's the fact that I've developed an overactive imagination." She looks at the ground for a minute before looking at him again with a small smile. "As for something I want you to know... Well, you know I was a whore. You know I'm an assassin." She pauses, thinking. She'd already managed to tell him most of her history in a fit of self-defense. "I guess the fact that I actually do care about my education is kind of important. I tried to learn as much as I could after I ran away, but I'm pretty sure I don't know nearly as much as anyone here." She gives a weak laugh. She hates admitting that people are smarter than her, but she needs the kick to the ego every once in a while. Especially after a high like that kiss, she thinks. "So, anything interesting about you? Besides the obvious being undead thing."
((That turned out way longer than I thought... especially for being in school....))
