The Eyes of a Hunter (Baldur)

[Baldur]

Baldur started walking backwards, giving her a smile. "Alright, that sounds fair enough." He said as he gave a nod moving around the trees and shrubs without even grazing one or bumping into it. He looked her over again. She was really cute, at least in his eyes. He then thought back to all his friends he had ever had since he was small.

He bit the inside of his cheek in his thoughts going through his life's history. He then gave a nod, yup, she was probably the cutest girl he had ever met. He then shrugged thinking a few things to tell about himself when he it was his turn.

He then looked back up to her. "So, Miss Dragnuov, I believe I asked you first. Or would you prefer I go first?" He said as he continued to walk backwards towards the school building. He brushed a small bit of hair from his face to keep an eye on her.

[Tatiana]

"Yes you did answer first, so I shall respond first."

As they kept walking, she noticed that he kept a causal eye on her. She didn't understand why, but it didn't bother her, for she also kept both her eyes on him. Perhaps is was a percationary measure, she assumed.

"I lived with my parents in a small village in Russia until I was ten, after that I lived with a man named Sebastian, because my parents died. Sebastian quickly became a father figure to me. He taught me everything and I wish to get out of this prision and find him."

That was everything she was planning to tell him. Unless he asked her more specific questions, she would try to answer if she felt the need to. Now she was curious to hear his history. She expected him to be pretty vague, since she was vague, but there was good reasons.

Her nose twitched as she smelled dilicious aromas wafting down from the direction they were headed.

[Baldur]

Baldur blinked and nodded as he listened to Tatiana speak of her life. Well what she told him anyway. He didn't expect a full account of things just a short cut down version, which his intuition told him he was right.

Once she was done he nodded and looked around to see where they were. They were getting closer to the school as the trees started to spread apart more and more. There even was a small pond to their left.

"I give my condolences for your loss and being stuck here. I too am a prisoner here as is the entire student population." He said with a shrug. He didn't mean to be rude about it, it was just the truth. "But, if there ever is a chance I will help you escape to go back to your adoptive father Sebastian is that alright?" he asked.

He then realized he was stalling and that she might like the idea but he would let her think on it. "Well, I will let you think on that, but now you will probably think I'm stalling, so here is my little...History." he said as he slowed and turned so he was next to her instead of in front of her.

"I grew up in a town in Iceland, well not really a town, I lived about 10 miles north of the town on my father's farm. He was a lawyer and a good father. My mother I never knew since she died in child birth with me. But my father was a good man and helped anyone that asked." He gave a small pause before continuing.

"But he also taught me how to hunt, hide, track and shoot from a bow. Not those wimpy compound bows or the crossbows but an actual recurve bow." He said giving a grin. He loved that bow alot, it was one of his most prized possessions when he lived back at home.

"But one day when we were hunting a man we didn't know came into our part of the forest that was behind our farm and shot my father point blank in the head with a rifle. Well needless to say, I ran and hid. But he was on my tail, matching me stride for stride. Once I hid he was right above me and turned to look straight at me. But didn't shoot me, I mean he saw me...But at the same time didn't I didn't understand why but I didn't care at the time." He said as he looked over to her.

"Then, when he started walking away I came away from my hiding spot which was just me behind a big rock and I put an arrow through his throat at 5 paces. He was dead, father was dead. I just buried my father, called the Police and I got arrested since I killed the mayor of the town. Which was ridiculous since the man tried killing me and killed my father. So I was sentenced here to repeat school and college at this school for my punishment, I should be a 12th grader but oh well I'll just tough it out." He said with another shrug.

[Tatiana]

Tatiana listened intently to what he was telling her. It seemed that the death of his father was a horrible experience in his life. The death of a parent always is. Tatiana killed her parents, but luckily for her she didn't remember how, only that she knew she was responsible. It was still a frightening memory, but it seemed so long ago that it was like a nightmare now.

"I do not mind if you help me escape...that is, if I need the help in the first place." She said this with an even tone of voice. Not to be cocky or anything, Tatiana just knew what she was capapble of and so far, she didn't know how the one called Baldur could help her.

"I am also sorry for you loss. I am here because...I killed people as well. Not intentionally of course, I don't really remember." Which was the truth.

The school building was in perfect view now. In less then two minutes they would be there and finally Tatiana would get to eat someting. She felt she could eat anything right now.

She turned to look at him also. "Not that I'm some cold blooded murderer, I am not. It's just that I didn't have a choice either, just like you. And just like you, I should be in grade...um 12 also."

She had now entered the building, expecting to see the cafeteria soon.

So he is a hunter and a tracker...a forest person to say the least. That's a good bit of information I got there.

[Baldur]

Baldur looked at her and gave her a sad nod. Killing someone was a horrible experience, even killing an animal was horrible but necessary at times, especially when you had to eat or when your own life was in danger. Not killing a person to eat just animals. But killing a human for anything other then necessity like self-preservation was inhumane.

She also said she was in the same grade as him, or should be at least. So she is about the same age as me huh? That was somewhat coincidental or perfectly planned, didn't know or care why or how it was just...slightly funny.

Once they reached the school building Baldur looked up at her and gave a soft smile. "Well I guess this is where we part ways, I do hope to meet you again soon Miss Dragunov." He said giving a polite little bow and walked off back into the woods. He had not fully explored them but he wished to in an attempt to somehow find a weak spot in the school's wall or someway to escape from this infernal place.

[Tatiana]

Tatiana had just opened the door into the school building and was about to step inside when Baldur announced his leave. He had lead her enough as it is, she didn't want to intrude on his day. Tatiana could smell the food, she would just follow her nose the rest of the way to the cafeteria.

"Perhaps we will meet again, if Luna wishes it. Have a good day," she said with a small wave. "Thank you for taking me this far."

That being said, she let the door close behind her. As much as she hated being inside, she was hungry and hunger always comes first. Following the many smells of the cafeteria, Tatiana made her way there.

Now the only problem would was finding what would be good to eat.
