Jessie had left the camp site in search of the beach Charlie had spoken of.
After nearly tripping over several roots before she stumbled onto a white sand beach. The moment she saw the clear blue sea she was struck by awe, her eyes couldn't take in the beauty.
With a girlie giggle she didn't know she could produce she rushed to wards the sea stopping only to push her shoes off she scooped the bottom of her dress up and knotted it to stay above her knees stepping carefully into the water surprised at how cooling and refreshing the water felt against her bare feet.

Admus was following his queen's orders... his fight with Overseer had only proved that his true loyalty lay with his Queen.
Though the memories of his clans fight were still hazy he knew what was to be true and that was Queen Moria had been the only one to provide him with a mission in life. Sneaking past the campsite hadn't been that hard in fact he was surprised that he had drawn no attention. But from the new arrivals he was sure those who stood against Moria were distracted.
With a hidden growl he made his way to the bright beach those fools of Overseer's army call wonderful. However he came to a stop when he hear a giggle, he started to reach for his sword but reframed as he was here undercover. Creeping forward he spotted the human, a lone human.
Smiling he didn't believe in luck but if he did it would surely be smiling on him today. "Excuse me young one... I am lost and very tired would you mind if an old man sat here" Admus questioned appearing like the bumbling old man.

Jessie stumbled as she spun, the water splashing up her legs before she managed to make it to the beach to see the arrival of the middle aged man. Staring at him unsure how to respond she stumbled over to where her shoes had been left.
"I don't know how to get anywhere.... I mean I'm not from around here... well any where here because I come from England" Jessie stuttered before flushing over the fact she couldn't speak probably. Something about him didn't seem so nice but then again she had come to accept that things were not always what they seemed here.
"Of course you can sit here... I mean it is a free place right" Jessie admitted before smiling lightly and folding her hands together.... she had been rasied to respect her elders.

Admus smiled slightly at he sat down and watched the human... his sword was in easy reach for him to kill her quickly with out anyone being the wiser.
He could but he would not.... he would of course gather more infromation before he took any action against the girl, beside he needed to make sure her new found friends would not find her.
"England... I have never heard of such a land, please tell me more" Admus forced a laugh studying her closely the way she folded her hands before her she suspect him nothing more then just an old man seeking a place to rest.
"And you are most kind child... I have not many children like you to be so respecting of their elders" Admus allowed the lie to spill out though it tasted bitter.

Jessie smiled slightly before tucking a piece of hair behind her ear and looking up to Admus she nodded before sitting down. "England... well I don't know where to start... we have a Queen and a royal family, there's buses and trains" Jessie started unsure how she could describe her home.
"I can't describe it how it should but it is nothing like this" Jessie admitted with a smile of fondness on her face. She blushed when he called her a kind child... she hadn't been called a child for some years now.

Admus nodded listening to the child.... she didn't belong here of that Admus was sure, but Overseer had no doubt brought her here. It confused Admus as he knew most of Overseer's chosen children were trained and accepting of this world.
"You sound like you miss it... this England, if that is so why travel so far from it" Admus questioned before frowning. Buses and trains... both words were not known to him and a Queen... for a breif moment he wondered if she was as fearful as Moria.
"And your Queen... what is she like, does she have magical powers to rule her subjects with" Admus asked a small smile flickering across his face.

Jessie sighed and slowly traced lines in the sand... she did miss home, she missed the normal things that just weren't here. Of course she had to find her sister but what if Katie didn't want to come back... what then.
"Uptill recently this place was just a fairytale... I guess it's just not having normal at least what I call normal around me is just a little overwhelming" Jessie admitted before she furrowed her brow in thought and then laughed.
"No the Queen doesn't have magical powers... at least I'm don't think she does" Jessie admitted before she looked up to Admus. "Not like the Queen here.... Our Queen isn't evil" Jessie stated with a small smile.

Admus listened carefully to the child forming a plan, Moria could offer her the chance to leave this place. At least she would promise the girl a chance to go home but... Admus looked away not understanding why it bothered him if Moria killed the girl or not. If truth be told Admus could kill her now and none would know. Watching the you girl he offered her a tight smile. "It can be overwhelming for those who do not know what happens... but I know someone who could help you. You could go home if you so wished" Admus admitted knowing that if she accepts it could mean her end. [[ don't worry won't hurt you ]]

Jessie snapped her head towards Admus and frowned... Charlie told her that only Overseer could send her back. Charlie didn't seem like he would lie to her... he might be annoying but he wasn't the type to lie.
Jessie felt something rise up in her, something was wrong... terribly wrong. "I was told only Overseer could send me back and as he was the one who brought me here I think it might be best for him to return me home" Jessie admitted before climbing to her feet and slipping her shoes on.
"I'm sure you friend is very powerful but... but I think I'll pass on this one" Jessie admitted acutally berating her self for leaving the bow she found and the arrows Charlie had given her back at the campsite.

Admus flashed his eyes and sprung to his feet... a move that betrayed any image of being a fragile old man.
"Overseer is a fool... how can you trust a man who takes children from their homes and force them to follow a path that will lead to their deaths" Admus demanded side stepping to stop Jessie moving back to the campsite and warning her friends.
"What I offer you now child will ensure your safe return back to your home... and your sisters" Admus questioned meeting her eyes and smiling tightly. "After all Jessie isn't that what you want... for you and your sister to be a family again" Admus knew using his magic secretly was not an honorable move but he needed this girl to follow him. If he could mis lead her then she might not have to suffer at the hands of Moria.

[[ Foxy to save the day and maybe charlie if your a good girl ]] Foxy leapt and bounded... he was graceful... he was slick... he was cunning.... "I'm FOXY" Foxy cried as he ran playfully towards the beach. He was enjoying a rare or not so rare moment to have fun and be free. He didn't understand why the others didn't think him ready to fight alongside them he was just as good as the others and just as brave.
He giggled when he reached the sand scaring a few lingering animals from their spots, ok so maybe he wasn't as wound as the others but if it was asked of him he would do his part.
Intending to scare a few fish he came to a stop when he saw Jessie a large smile playing across his fox face. She looked a lot better in Mediocris clothes then she did in those things she called 'clothes'.
But before he could comment on her smell he saw someone else with her.... someone Foxy hadn't seen around the camp or the towns. At least someone he didn't think he had seen. The smell hit him... it was unmistakeably a wastelands smell, mixed with dark magic. "Foxy saves the day" Foxy whispered to himself as he bounded forward snarling as he throw himself between Jessie and the other person only to growl deeper when he saw it was Admus.
"YOU" he growled now feeling his back rise and his teeth snapping to bite into the dark warlocks leg.

Jessie felt the worry grow and grow, her stomach was twisting now and her mouth felt to dry to call for help.
She didn't know how he knew her name but it scare her.... he wasn't the frail old man he first appeared to be. And she was pretty sure that he wasn't offering her such an easy way home. When Foxy jumped between the pair reliefe flooded through her.... she didn't care if he was just a fox at this moment in time he was the only creature standing between her and someone she knew had to be evil.
"Foxy" Jessie squeaked before looking at Admus and finding some courage she met his eyes.
"Just who are you... what are you" Jessie questioned hoping that Foxy could hold him off long enough for her to get help.

Admus glared at the small creature before he laughed with no humour... did it really think he had a chance against him. Flashing his eyes at Foxy, the creature had been nothing more then a common annoyance to Admus One that he would only be too glad to rid himself of.
"You poor deluded creature... you really think you have a chance against me... I would have to use no magical powers against you my sword against" Admus declared pulling his sword from his belt.
"You my dear girl will face a more... slower death, for that I fear I have no control over" Admus almost sounded sadden by this fact. She was unarmed... for the first time Admus feel like a coward as he knew he would take the child to Moria and allow the Queen gather the information she needed from her.
Swinging his sword Admus ducked and swiftly lifted his foot and sent Foxy flying as he straigthened he brought his blade against Jessie's neck staring at her with no emotion. "You have only to follow me and I may allow the fox to live" Admus promised with a deadly tone.

Foxy yelped as he felt something give when Admus kicked him to the side. Landing in the water he stumbled to his feet his beathing heavy now. He felt the flare of pain course along his side, he was injured but with horror he watched as Admus held his sword against Jessie's neck.
Fear turned his blood to ice while anger boiled up in his stomach... Admus had a point but of course he wasn't going to let the warlock know this.
"No Jessie... don't.... I'm fine I can take him" Foxy growled as he limped forward slowly as to not cause any harm to Jessie. This girl seemed to like trouble, but this wasn't the sort of trouble she could just laugh off... Admus was a killer and he would not even think twice about killing her.
"What would you evil queen want with her... I know more... take me" Foxy ordered trying to catch his breath as more pain flared up and his vision became clouded.

Jessie attempted to move to Foxy the moment he landed but the blade was so quick it bit into her neck. She felt the blood roll down her neck before her wide eyes snapped up to Admus' and the fear swelled in her.
He's going to kill me... or worse Foxy and the silly little fox wanted to do was protect me the thought ran through Jessie's mind before she gave a small whimper before finding the courage. There was once a time in her life when the boys in her home town thought to start on her, she gave them all black eyes.
"Do you worse... you belong here even less then I do" Jessie challenged winching when the blade bit deeper into her neck. She bit her lip when the silly and fear driven thought of trying to explain this scar to her parents.
