Sinister

Treasca tried to pull away from Thalon, but he refused to let her move an inch.

"You know I feel like we have something very special, don't you? Brenton is just a brute, but I on the other hand will treat you with tenderness." Thalon said as he picked up a lock of her hair sniffing it before letting it fall. He traced his fingers up and down her arms. She shuddered somehow she could sense something sinister in Thalon that he was trying hard to hide from her. Movement caught her eye, but Thalon didn't seem to notice. She froze trying to see what it could possibly be. It was dark red and seemed to move like a very large snake on the ground. She opened her mouth to tell Thalon when it lunged at them.

Brenton entered a completely silent castle. He froze in the door trying to sense what had made him leery. He called out, but silence was his only answer. He supposed Delyn was retired for the night. Treasca had gone to her room not long after Thalon had left, so perhaps they where just both asleep. He reasoned as he walked to his office. He opened the door, and froze. His eyes widened as he noticed the basin was gone. He raced towards Treasca's room and threw open the door. She was no where in sight. He tried to sense her anywhere near by, and got nothing. He spun sprinting towards Delyn's room. He flung the door open, but yet again there was nothing. Brenton cursed and ran back towards the gates.
