Geilinor, Provence of Peace

Lock let out a whimper. He knew his sister was safe so he would be able to find his woman. Even though he had betrayed her. He growled lightly and followed her life force. He wanted to save her for some odd reason. He couldn't understand why.

Aleana wakes up in a dark cell and whimpers. She knew what it meant when she was locked away like this. Suddenly a man dressed in all black walks in with a whip. "You know what happens now Aleana." he says and flips her over, stripping her shirt off to embarrass her and to make the whipping worse. They also put salt on the whips to leave it in the wounds.

Lock let out roar as he apeared. He started ripping through gaurds trying to get to Aleana. He wouldn't let anyone hurt her. She was his.

Long after the whipping and the torturing is done Aleana screams, tied spread eagle and unclothed to the wall, both for humiliation and so that her bones won't heal. She screams as they try and try to heal and get rid of the toxins from the whip but can't seem to do it.

Lock wripped through all the gaurds in his way and apraoched Aleana. He cut her free and gently licked at her wounds. "Mine."

Aleana shudders and groans in pain, her bones finally fusing together properly. But she was still in shock, her body trying to shut down even as she was seeing illusions, her eyes flitting back and forth, glazed over with pain.

Lock let out a small sound and gently laid her on his back. He then walked them out of the place and to someplace where she would be safe. He whimpered lightly as he walked wanting to take her some place safe.

Aleana groans and shifts on his back, opening her eyes just as she begins to slide off. She grabs onto him and pulls herself back on, biting back a cry of pain from using her tortured body.

Lock let out a small sound as he carried her into a room and gently slid her onto the bed. He lifted his head to look at her and gently set it on the bed to watch her. He let out a small whimper as he watched her.

Aleana looks at him, still half delirious. "Lock?" she murmurs, wrapping her hand around his wrist. She smiles and squeezes, not knowing her strength and therefore coming close to fracturing the bone. "Your here... You saved me." she murmurs, letting go and curling up into a ball.

Lock let out a small sound and climbed onto the bed beside her. He was still in his beast form so he was rather furry. He wrapped himself gently around her. He wanted her to be safe. He wonedered briefly how Azrael was doing and if he was with Zaria yet.

Aleana wakes up not too much later, completely lucid and healed. She reaches out and feels the furry thing wrapped around her before looking up and recognizing it as Lock. "Holy!" she says and struggles to get free.

Lock opened his eyes to look at her. Why was she freaking out? He changed back to his human form. "What's wrong?" He asked yawning slightly.

Aleana shakes her head, "Why won't you leave me alone? I promise not to kill any of your friends or family ok? Just... let me live. Let me find meaning, love, a husband. Let me have my own children..." she says, seeming to think she needed to beg for her life.

Lock frowned at her. "I just spent an entire afternood running around trying to save you and this is the reaction I get? I came after you and saved you from the beating the gaurds were giving you when I probably should have let you die. Pardon me for trying to save your life." He stood angrily and made his way toward the door. No matter what he did she made him feel bad as if he were doing something wrong. He didn't need that. Now he was going to make sure his sister was safe.

"What do you mean you saved me? From a beating? Last I remember you were trying to kill me in a cave," She growls, suddenly fierce. "Doesn't matter anyway I suppose. As long as you let me live. Then maybe I can finally find... another love and have his children," she says, defiant.

"Do whatever you want. You tried to kill me and you went after my sister's baby. Those gaurds grew you in a tube and make you do their biding. They beat you when you do something wrong and I brought you to safety. I don't care if you don't believe me. But I can say that I feel sorry for whatever idiot falls for you. I did and you tried to kill me and my family. I can't imagine what you would do to someone you actually like." He said befoe he closed the door in her face.

Aleana sits and thinks for a moment before realizing that he was telling the truth. Even though it went against everything she knew and had ever been told she knew he was telling her the truth. "Wait! Lock!" she yells and opens the door, running after him.

Lock didn't stop when he heared her call after him. Why should he? All she wanted to do was make him feel like a bad person. He let out a sound of pain and fell to his knees. He started coughing not too long after he noticed blood on his hnads. Was it coming from his mouth? He raised it to his mouth and found that it was where it was coming from.

"Lock!" Aleana says and runs to him, kneeling next to him before she sees the blood. "Oh my god... your hurt..." she says, eyes wide. She reaches toward him but pulls back. "May I... try and help? I promise not to hurt you." she murmurs, looking down as if ashamed.

reserved

Lock looked up at her and quickly lowered his hand as he caughed up more blood. When he had a small break he scooted away from her. "No, you don't mean it. You'll just try to get me killed again." He said a fearful look entering his eyes.

Aleana looks up, sincereness in her eyes. "I won't, Lock. Just let me help you. I swear I won't hurt you. I understand now that... your a good man. I'm very sorry for all the pain I've caused you... Please let me at least help you."

"You're a very good liar. I'm sure they would be very proud of you if they looked past your mistakes. You had an oportunity to help me but you just wanted to yell at me and accuse me of things." Lock said before he started coughing again. He waved his hand to summon the lightning to transport him away. He just wanted to go home.

A tear drops from Aleana's eyes and she reaches for him, grabbing his shoulder gently. "I'm sorry Lock. But they raised me. I thought they were... trustworthy. And I'm still not sure why they told me that you were evil. But your not. You've had opportunity after opportunity to kill me and you didn't and... I want to make it up to you. Please let me Lock," she sobs.

Lock shook his head. "I saved you and I protected you. I brought you somewhere safe and I did nothing but care for you. I asked for nothing from you. I just want to be loved is that so wrong? But you made it perfectly clear that you can never love me. Let me go someplace with people who can so I can get a proper healing." He said whiping at his mouth.
