A Whisper In The Dark(LANCELOT)

[Lancelot Du Lac]

Lancelot thought that that had been one of the strangest series of encounters he had ever had. First she wants to basically turn the King over to her. Next, when he tries to subvert her plan she tortures him. Then she basically takes him to one of the best rooms in the castle, above or below ground. H e had thought about watching the training through the window. He thought better of that and was going to sit down at the desk for a moment, but then he decided that he had been through so much, in one day, that he just wanted to lie down an rest.

He had just laid down on the bed when the door to his most recent room suddenly burst open. It was Raven, and she seemed to have a strange look on her face. He had no idea what it meant. Was it the girl who had smiled at him before she had just left, or was it the master torturer? He quickly propped himself out as she rapidly moved across the room and put him into an embrace. He saw that she quickly looked him in the eyes once more, as if she was trying to weigh his soul, and what his value was, as a person. It seemed that she had the power to look right through him, and given what he had seen of her magic so far, he didn't really doubt it. Suddenly, though, this time it was her that initiated the kiss, and he could not resist it. He returned her deep kiss with one of his own. "Yes .... given what you said before you left I would expect it is forbidden. The natural question would be whether you are sure what you are doing?"

[Lady Raven Silvester]

Ravevn stroked his face gently with her righr hand. "My heart is torn in two, but yes, I know what I'm doing." she said. Just his sheer beauty was too hard to resist. Raven rested her head on his right shoulder. "I'm sorry for everything I've put you through. Please forgive me, Lancelot." she whispered. She felt safe in his arms. Her heart was split. One for her lover, Dreamer and the other half for Lancelot. She gently kissed him again. Raven couldn't resist any longer she took off his fresh shirt and then pressed her delicate lips on his neck. His beautiful scent wafted up her nostrils and it only made her want him more. She pulled away for a few seconds. "Are you sure you want this?" she asked. Truely enough, it was a love the should've never have happened.

[Lancelot Du Lac]

This was just one more shock in a shocking day, he thought. "You certainly aren't boring to be with that's for sure. Despite how flattered I am, for the feelings that you are showing, and for the kiss you have ardently returned, you have just met me. Obviously, this other person has known you longer and I would have to think that your feelings would have to be deeper. So, why exactly is your heart torn in two. Does that mean that when I leave your presence and he suddenly shows up, that your affections would be diverted to him, or what does it mean, then, exactly?"

As soon as she had given his apology, though, he gave her a deep and long kiss before coming up for air once more. "If you haven't guessed that means that you apology is accepted, milady. You did what you had to do, as your position required, just I did what honor and duty bound me to. So where do we go from here?"[//b] To his surprise she responded quite quickly, and quite physically, by removing his shirt in a tearing action that was basically completed in one motion.

"I'm afraid I will need another of those shirts," as she kissed him again and then settled into his chest and neck. He could tell that she was testing his scent and aroma. "Hmm .... do I meet the mademoiselle's approval. Ah .... it is not a question of what I want, for only a fool would refuse you, but, since you already have someone, why and whether you would want me."

[Lady Raven Silvester]

Raven sighed. "Dreamer he's... Two differant people. One minute hes good, kind a sweet and the next... The darkness inside him takes over and hes gone." she said. She held Lancelot close, fearing she would lose him. "Theres a prophercy about me... So they say anyway. Apprently you're the one I'm meant to be with..." she stopped there. Raven shut her mouth then shook her head. Fear then flushed through her face. She would understand if he wanted to kill her there and then. She always thought prophercies were a load of bull so left them be... But was there a possibilty this one would come true. Raven feared and also hoped it would.This knight was everything she had been searching for.

[Lancelot Du Lac]

Lancelot had been quickly drifting off to sleep, but her appearance and actions had certainly awoken him ... fully. he listened to her words closely, and tried to decide if she was telling him everything, or if he would have to read between the lines. "Hmmmm .... that sounds vaguely familiar. no wonder the two of you are attracted to one another," he said with a slight grin. "I would hate to see you both together when the two of you are in a foul mood at the same time. Do you think that I would lie him as equally well as you since you two are so much alike," he said with a slight smirk. He noticed that although they had stopped kissing, for the moment, she was gripping him so tight and so close that he wondered if she would ever let go.

"A prophecy about you ..... strange ...... even though you seem to be full of magic, you don't strike me as one to be held captive by them. You seem to be person of action, not of predestiny," he said with a raised eyebrow. "That being said, though, what is the nature of this prophesy? Have you not heard it, and why on Earth would you say that about me," he asked now with his thick arms crossed across his chest. he noticed quite quickly that she acted as if she had said more than she was allowed or that was wise to say. However, she was the one who had mentioned it, so it was up to her to speak on it. Within moments he saws that much color had come to cheeks as well. "Come tell me of this prophecy, and swear that you will be completely truthful with me and hold nothing back."

[Lady Raven Silvester]

Raven looked at him and took his hands in her own. "Its written by scholars past, that the daughter of a Grand Master will come across two. Two that will have heart. In the end she will die of heartache unless she chooses between them. It's rather difficult choosing between you and Dreamer but me and him are so much alike that it wont work. They say oppisites attract and I'm certainly attracted to you. I've seen you in action Lancelot and you took my breath away. My heart screamed for me to meet you but all in all I'm a shy girl." she said. Raven blushed a little as she said it but there was nothing but truth in her eyes. She held the knight's face like she did in the prison cell. This time a few tears escaped her eyes. How could she choose between them? It wasn't fair for a girl to tear her heart in two like this. Dreamer was amazing but Lancelot had more going for her. He was gifted with weaponry, strong and agile there was nothing more Raven could ask for. She looked at him. "That's the truth Lancelot and it's truely killing me inside." she said, her voice breaking. The lump in her throat was getting harder to swallow every passing second. Her heart was breaking. Though she was starting to think her heart truely belonged with this knight.

[Lancelot Du Lac]

Lancelot saw that suddenly she was looking intently upon him. It seemed that she wanted to give him the notion that she was being extremely serious with him. He almost got the idea that she was going to tell him just what he had asked for, especially as she had taken both of his hands, as they sat together on his bed. He listened intently to the story that she now told, and he wondered how much of it was legend or myth, and how much was real. "So ..... you apparently know this Dreamer well and know him to be of good heart, but how, knowing me for so short a time, can you come to the same conclusion about me."

He listened further as she explained a bit more about her and Dreamer's relationship. "I assume that you, at least for the Order's sake, don't wish to die of heartache, so what is your choice? I would imagine that it would be difficult. But how do you that it won't work unless you try. I know that people who have the same personalities, and explosive ones that they just can't get around their problems." She then spoke out loud what each had thought, but had not spoken on before. In fact, her words went far beyond anything he had been prepared for.

"Well .... of course there is an attraction. That is obvious. When .... when did you see me in action? But I am just an ordinary Knight with ordinary skills .... nothing that would take anyone's breath away. Didn't you say that I lacked bravery and courage? You have met me now, apparently. Did I live up to what you expected?" He saw how her face coloured, and saw her look down at the floor. He took a finger of his and put it under her chin to lift her mouth to his lips and give her a kiss that was both soft and deep, that lasted for several seconds. He saw her tears and then answered her comment. "Yes .... yes .... I believe that you have spoken from your heart. However, my question will always be whether I am worthy of you. But if it is the truth, why would it be killing you, it should be liberating for you." and he gathered in his arms and gave her the longest kiss that he had so far.

[Lady Raven Silvester]

Raven couldn't speak. She returned the kiss then after a minute or so she pulled away to get some air. "Lancelot, I am an Assassin. I can be anywhere and not make my presence known unless I want to. All that I know is that my heart is screaming for you. I will do anything for you. I will protect you until death and love you. I can't do this unless you tell me how you feel about me." she said. She couldn't leave Lancelot. Not now... Not ever. She kissed him again falling back onto the bed.

[Lancelot Du Lac]

This was the longest that she hadn't spoke, but, of course her lips were quite occupied. Finally she pushed off his larger and broader form. "Yes ... of course ... and you are one of the leading Assassins. It is obvious what an Assassin is capable of. But you are also a woman, and have a wide range of other things you are a capable of and sensitive to. And how loudly is your heart screaming? Anything ....Yes ... that sounds like the anything that an Assassin would do, but what would the female sacrifice for her love. Do I even have to say it out loud how the love and attraction grows with each moment?" She leaned in to kiss him once more an he fell, back-first into the center of the bed with her on top of him.

[Lady Raven Silvester]

Raven suddenly had an idea. "Say, why don't we go and train together. Some of the other Camelot knights will be in one of the other six arenas we have. Lancelot... I love you." she smiled and kissed him deeply and passionatly. Her feelings were strong for him. Words couldn't explain it. But her feeling got the better of her and couldn't stop kissing him. She removed her top corset and lay a few butterfly kisses on his chest then lay on her back so, if he wanted he could take control. She wanted him so badly.

[Lancelot Du Lac]

Just as she had him down on the bed, it seemed something new had occurred to Raven. He wouldn't say that the girl was fickle, but she sure seemed to have the ability to move from issue to issue. "Where exactly did that idea come from? Its not that I'm opposed to it in the least, but it sure seemed to come out of nowhere. I mean .... I could always do with some additional training, and any Knight of Camelot would be a good test and ....." Suddenly she had punctuated her idea with a response to his words with an 'I love you,' and a deep and sustained kiss.

She came up after a second for air, but only a second, and she was once more giving him several kisses in succession. As she was definitely nearly impossible for him to figure out, as she had begun to partially disrobe and then tickled his chest with her lashes before turning on her back. Lancelot figured that given her changeable nature he should take advantage while could. he pulled the blanket over his back as moved over her body, and began kissing her on the lips, then down the nape of her neck down to the soft flesh of the upper shoulder, not knowing how far the beautiful, dark-haired Assassin would want to go.

[Lady Raven Silvester]

Her body felt light. This was so much differant. She wondered if Lancelot felt the same way about her. A moan escaped her as she felt his lips against her neck. That was her weak spot. She was totally submissive now. Raven was under his spell. Not that she was complaining. Raven's body tensed in pleasure at his touch. She seductivly bit his shoulder and breathed heavily. "Ah! Lancelot, I'm willing if you are." she whispered. Raven felt so good. She had never wanted a man this badly before. Her heart was beating rapidly,like a horse's hoofbeats at full gallop. Raven couldn't explain how much she felt for him. It was like a piece of her heart had finally come back to her.

[Lancelot Du Lac]

He wondered if she thought he was too heavy, or the blanket made them too warm. if appearances counted for anything, she did not seem to be too bothered. She was not too difficult to move either, she was quite light. As he descended to kiss her full lips and then move off to the nape of her neck her whole body seemed to shudder. He could physically sense the reaction as he kissed her up and down her neck. It seemed to tranquilize her, and she snuggled in closer.

She seemed to know that it was he she wanted. But what about this Dreamer? Surely she still felt something for him and wouldn't just drop him with no thought. Suddenly, though, as he kissed her neck he heard a deep moan. Was this her vulnerable spot he had discovered? "Ouch!," he exclaimed as she bit into his shoulder. "You are quite a vixen aren't you," he chuckled. "I am willing and able. Show me what an Assassin is capable of," he said as he wrapped the blanket around them.

[Lady Raven Silvester]

Raven chuckled. "Well you could say that." she winked. She ripped off her other corset. Her chest was now bare. Then she slipped off her trousers and pulled Lancelot close. "My mind, body and soul are yours." she whispered. Raven laid herself out so she was easier to get to. She kissed Lancelot deeply, slipping her tongue into his mouth. She didn't wasnt him to stop. She loved him too much to make him stop now. Raven ran her hands over his perfectly shaped body and unlaced his own trousers. "I'm not forcing you into anything you don't want to do, my love." she whispered. She had all the time in the world for him. She now felt complete. Raven smiled and gently kissed him again.

[Lancelot Du Lac]

"Hmmmm," he smiled, "there are many people that would not find such a comparison complimentary. In fact they mind find it actually evil." It was a good thing that they were covered up, he thought, as she went all the way in undressing from her midriff on up. In any case it was obvious that she was well-endowed, and progressed to remove all but the barest of her essentials, as her legging came off, and she focused on Lance, as he pulled him down on to her body. "Well, then, that covers just about everything, doesn't it. Why is an official of your order such s yourself willing to give themselves over to a Knight such as me without much of a question. What will the Grand Master think?"

He didn't get to hear an answer as she quickly pulled him down into a deep and long kiss, using her tongue to explore his mouth as much as she could, and he returned her advances, using his muscular tongue to explore her mouth. He felt her fingers slowly but steadily feel out the various contours of his trousers that she healthy upper body, and then those same fingers moved to the ropes on his trousers that she proceeded to un-knot. "Yes ... I know ... but you haven't forced me to do anything ... it has all been very consensual, so far." And she kissed him again as he felt her work the trousers off his thick thighs.
