Ghosts From the Past.

[Leytan]

[ModNote: Continued from Sanctuary.]

*Leytan is standing by the dresser draws in his new room at The Wolfs Howl Inn.*

*He is unpacking his few belonginsg including a bundle of clothes, bags of gold and silver, viles of a thick green substance (his Mark Of Leytan Venom) and wepons including

3 knifes

2 flat throwing knifes

a Small Crossbow and arrows

a cerimonial dagger

a small hatchet

a lenth of rope

a rolled up net

and his own trusty sword. which he lays beside him against the bed*

"Hmmm basic but suitably."

*He musses to himself, at his moment he happans to look up at the mirrior that is on top of the dresser.*

*His blood frezzes there in the mirrior is the reflection of a man standing perfectly still behind him.*

*The Man is dressed in expensive cloths that are blue and cream, he has jet black hair and a small scare on his right cheek. But his most strikeing feture is his pirecing blue eyes. And Leytan, even though he dosn't acknolage it's existance, can reconise the evil glint that is in those un-nerving eyes.*

"Must have come in threw the window *he says to himself.* "Oh well Wolfenden will just have to arrange another funeral."

*Quick as a cobra, Leytan spins round snatching his sword up as he turns to face the man.*

"Stand Fast assas..........ain??"

*Leytan looks at the spot the man was standing but there is no one there.*

"Odd! He must have bolted threw the window he realised I'd seen him."

*Leytan looked at the window. It was closed he went over to it.*

"Locked from the inside?? Then how??"

*Sudernly there was a knock at the door. Leytan went to anserw it he opened the door and found himself face to face with.................*

[Midnight]

*The knock had been a quiet hesitant one, Amanda kept looking round the corridor, her face somewhat pale and her eyes slightly glazed. If anyone looked at her they would know she was nervous, unusual for her but she had things to fear...especially from this room.*

*The door opened suddenly and Amanda almost jumped out of her skin due to the ferocity it was opened with.*

Sorry to disturb you Sir but Dal sent me up here to ask if you needed anything?

*Her hands clenched tightly at her sides her eyes looking at the man but trying to avoid the room..*

[Leytan]

*Leytan looked at the girl head to toe. The serveing girl from the kitchen.*

"I' don't require...............On Second thoughts."

*Leytan noticed how un-easy around the room she was. Maby she could shed some light on the bizzar incident that just occured.*

"Could you come in here for a minuet or 2, I do have something you can help me with."

*Leytan stood to one side to alow Amanda to walk in.*

[Midnight]

*Amanda's heart began to thud, thud against against her ribs, beating faster and faster, her breaths became long and shallow. She almost shook her head in refusal but her feet seemed to decide other wise.*

*Slowly entering the room but lingering near the door Amanda began to sweat lightly, her brow slowly glistens and she hides trembling hands behind her back.*

*She opens and closes her mouth s bit like a fish but finally asks.*

I'll try and help you sir but I am slightly confused as to how I can help you.

[Leytan]

"I just need a helping hand to un-pack the remainder of my belongings."

*Leytan gestures towards 2 large Knapsacks that lay on the bed.*

"I wish to get a little bit of tradeing in the market done before Dinner which starts serveing in half an Hour."

"And I'm sure someone as delicate looking as yourself will be extremly gentle with a guests possesions."

*He said in a charming, velvety voice as he takes Amanda gently by the arm and leads her further into the room. He then closes the dorr behind them.*

[Midnight]

*Amanda fights off the urge to pull her arm away from Leyton her heart beating faster still, her palms beginning to sweat despite the coolness of the room.*

I don't think I'm the right person to handle such items..

*Amanda looks around the room seeing various weapons..*

Maybe Ann-Marie should help you Sir she knows more bout weapons than me, she knows how to handle and care for them.

*Amanda gently tries to free her arm from Leyton.s grip, hoping slowly but surely would get her free of him, this room and too many bad memories that came flooding back....*

[Leytan]

*Leytan didn't trie to stop her freeing her amr. Not by force at least. Amanda sudernly felt her arm go numb.*

"No need to worry my dear, I don't realy need you to help me un-pack. I just require some information from you."

"But I didn't want to ask out in the Hall way less anyone here and think I had gone a little crazy."

*Amanda looked at him puzzeld.*

"Who was the last resident in this room before me?"

*Leytan asked.*

[Midnight]

*Amanda frowns slightly and her feet freeze to the floor, her mind freezes and she looks at the floor. Her tongue seems too big for her mouth she swallows against a dry throat.*

I was the last resident here before the explosion, I got moved down the hall when the place was refitted.

Why do you want to know?

[Leytan]

"I see."

*Thats dosne't explain the aperition though he thinks.*

"May I ask weather a Getlaman ever stayed here?"

*Leytan asked again.*

[Midnight]

*Amanda's memories flit briefly through her eyes but she firmly shuts them away to the back of her mind. She didn't need or want to see them...*

A couple of times a gentleman stayed here...he wasa what..most people called my boyfirned..He stayed here more often than not.

Again, why do you want to know?

*Amanda began to wonder whether this man was a friend of Edward's whether somehow he had tracked her down seeking to avenge his death some how...

* Amanda looked down at the floor..she didn#t have the strength or the wit to fight..if this man wanted her dead he would very easily get his wish..*

*She shivers again though this time Leytab can pick up the tremle even through his thick gloves.*

[Leytan]

"Oh do not concern yourself child I meen you no harm. I have never met you or your boyfreind before."

"But tell me this boyfreind of yours dose he have pireceing blue eyes, jet balck hair and a Scare on his right cheek?"

[Midnight]

*Amanda almost chocked choked as her breathing when out of sync and she tried talking at the same time...*

*Cough* How...*cough* did..*cough* you know..*cough*?

*Looking around the room for something to drink Amanda almost laughed..those blue eyes had been one of the things had attracted her to him...When they had first started going out he had the nicest eyes...shame how things you love bout one person can one day be the things you hate.*

Yes he did, Deal was his name...Edward Deal he died a while back while running from some good men he had tried to hurt.

[Leytan]

*Leytan fetches her a drink of water.*

"I fear I may have just seen him, or rather his aperition standing over there by the window."

"You may go now Amanda, sorry to have brought you in here. I was just curius as to why I was seeing Ghosts From The Past so to speak."

[Midnight]

*Amanda takes the offered glass of water and sips it until her coughing stops. Her heart went cold at the thought of him being back here ...to haunt the inn...the only place she felt safe. Placing the glass on a chest of drawers with shaking hands she nods and leaves the room quickly, her feet breifly echoing down the small corridor before the slam of a door shuts the sound out.*

[Leytan]

*Leytan watched her go, he felt sorry for her, who ever this Deal was he had done her great harm.*

*But Leytan soon brushed it off and got back to un-packing soon he had finished. He went down staires for Tea. It was Amanda who served him so he left a few extra gold coins on the table for her . The retired to his room for the night. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pilow.*

{Late}

*Leytan awoke with a start, what had awoke him?? Then he remmberd a sound and one he reconised it was the sound of some one being hit. He lissend closely. Yes there it was again.*

*The sicking sound of some ones fist conecting with another persons body or face.*

"Probabley 2 drunks."

*He thought, but then there was a scream, it was that of a young maiden. Leytan lept out of bed if someone was hitting a girl he would see how well they liked to fight when they met someone there own size. The sounds were comeing from the alyway beside his room. He opend the window and looked out.*

*Nothing not a soal in sight. A liveing one that was for all though no on was about Leytan could still here the sounds of a beating going on. It lasted for well over an hour then there was the tinkle of coind hitting the floor and a evil movking laugh, then silence.*

*Leytan closed the window and went back to sleep. Tommorow he was going to get anserws once and for all!!!*
