like a tree nymph in the branches [aston]

[Celeste Volette]

Celeste Volette walked into the forest barefooted clad in a white sleeveless dress made of thin material and came down to her ankles. The dress held her curves perfectly and showed just about too much cleavage but it still looked all right. Her dark brown, almost black, hair held it gentle curl and came down to the small of her back. It was a warm night and Celeste loved those. She walked through the forest, only sound she heard was the russeling of leaves in the trees. She started to run slowly, her skirt out slightly behind her and her dark brown hair flowing in the breaze. A song came to her lips. It was one she hadn't sung since she had met Aston Brishen, her maker, all those years ago. She sang it out in her sweet voice, wondering if her song would reach Aston's ears. She had not seen him since he had turned her. It broke her heart to leave him but she could see no other way around it. What if he hears me....?"

[Aston Brishen]

Aston had been walking about the forest,having just had his evening feast. Tonight he wore Tudor-esque clothing and was wearing black boots. Aston was leaning against a tree as he sighed and heard a voice singing,he knew that voice from somewhere---Aston ran towards the voice and stopped dead in his tracks as he reconized the woman,it was Celeste Volette--oh,this was not good--especially not for him. But he did not know what he was said,"Celeste?"

[Celeste Volette]

Celeste was so into her song and running in the moonlight that she almost didn't hear the voice call her name. "Celeste?" She stopped dead in her tracks. She knew that voice. It couldn't be... She turned her head and saw it was who she thought it was. Her maker, Aston Brishen, was also in the woods. Aston... She then ran again, ran away from him. She didn't know what to do. She left him 800 years ago so she was surprised that he remembered her. She kept running, away from Aston, but she wasn't very fast at all.

[Aston Brishen]

Aston rolled his eyes and sighed,she was going to run? This wouldn't be easy--especially since Aston had so much to explain to her about--why he ran--why he left her--he would tell her as soon as he caught her. Aston then ran after her,running as he slowly approuched her,he then quickly approuched her and grabbed her,stopping her,his strong arms trying to stop her from running,"Celeste--I know you must be angry with me--but please--let me explain."

[Celeste Volette]

Celeste thought she had a pretty good lead on Aston. That was until he caught her from behind, his arms wrapped around her slender frame. "Celeste--I know you must be angry with me--but please--let me explain." "Explain what, Aston?" she asked angerly, "Let me go!" She didn't like being trapped in a man's embrace. She liked when they held her gently, not trapped her and basically caged her in. "We have nothing to talk about." she said bitterly, "You left me! End of story right there!"

[Aston Brishen]

"Celeste--"Aston replied,tighting his grip upon her and said,"Calm down--that was not the whole story! I had a good reason for leaving--if only you would let me tell you!"Aston then knew he would regret this but he had to make amends."Your sister would agree with me upon this--you need to calm down--let me talk."

[Celeste Volette]

"Celeste--Calm down--that was not the whole story! His grip tightened around her. Celeste laughed bitterly. "I loved you, you turned me, you left me. I think that's the end of the story." "I had a good reason for leaving--if only you would let me tell you!" "Oh, you did, did you?" she said laughing bitterly, "Doubt that." "Your sister would agree with me upon this--you need to calm down--let me talk." "How do you know Oceane would agree with you." she said angerly, "And I see no reason to let you speak."

[Aston Brishen]

"Celeste--I am not going to let you go until you let me talk."Aston then thought she would not talk peacefully and so he just told his tale. Aston then replied,"Know this Celeste,I loved you too--I still do--I turned you,yes--but I had every means as to keep you as my vampiress mistress but I was framed for a murder I did not commit so I had to leave--I could not tell you--no one had to know."Aston then gripped onto her tightier,"Your sister would know because she and I are close friends--now listen to me when I say that I did not mean to leave you--even to this day I regret it--even to this day,a part of my heart still belongs to my love for you--"

[Celeste Volette]

"Celeste--I am not going to let you go until you let me talk." "Fine." Celeste said angerly, "Talk." "Know this Celeste,I loved you too--I still do--I turned you,yes--but I had every means as to keep you as my vampiress mistress but I was framed for a murder I did not commit so I had to leave--I could not tell you--no one had to know." She became slightly less tense. One thing struck her. He said "loved". He was over her. She thought she was over him....until she saw him. Then she realized she still loved him. After 800 years, she still loved him. "I would have left with you." she told him, a hint of anger in her voice, "I would have believed you if you told me you did not commit the crime." His grip around her became tighter still. "Your sister would know because she and I are close friends--now listen to me when I say that I did not mean to leave you--even to this day I regret it--even to this day,a part of my heart still belongs to my love for you--" "I did not know you are friends with Oceane." she murmered. She closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them. "I thought I did not love you any more, after you left me and all but.... when I saw you before I realized...." she trailed off for a moment, almost not wanting to say it, "That I still love you. After 800 years part of my heart still belongs to you."She started to calm a bit down.

[Aston Brishen]

"Celeste--"Aston replied softly as he kissed her forehead."I'm sorry,I did not mean to leave you--I hope you can forgive me--I still love you too--do you even know how it was for me to leave you?"A tear rolled down Aston's eyes--he could not believe he was saying this,not only did he love Penelope but his love for Celeste still remained."My heart has always broken every year that I though of you--I am sorry that I left--"

[Celeste Volette]

"Celeste--" She felt herself smile lightly as he said her name in a soft tone. It brought back so many sweet and happy memories she had of him that she had tried to forget. "I'm sorry,I did not mean to leave you--I hope you can forgive me--I still love you too--do you even know how it was for me to leave you?" "Of course I can forgive you." she said softly, wiping his tear away with her thin fingers, "Do not cry, my love." "My heart has always broken every year that I though of you--I am sorry that I left--" She looked down. "My heart has been broken as well. But speak no more of sad times, my love." She smiled weakly, "It will only make us more depressed."

[Aston Brishen]

Aston nodded and replied,"Yes,yes--let us not talk of sad times anymore--"Aston then kissed her forehead and smiled,he then asked her,"Can you give me another chance? To make up for all the cruelness I had thrown at you? Perhaps we could start over."Aston then smiled to her,looking into her eyes--he then remembered why he had turned her.

[Celeste Volette]

"Yes,yes--let us not talk of sad times anymore--" Celeste smiled lightly as her forehead was kissed again. "Can you give me another chance? To make up for all the cruelness I had thrown at you? Perhaps we could start over." "We can't start over, Aston." she told him, "It's been 800 years."She smiled, "But I can most definately give you another chance, no questions asked.

[/i] She smiled. Has it really been 800 years since I kissed the man I fell in love with? She couldn't believe that. She leaned up slightly and kissed his lips softly, for the first time in 800 years.[/color][/center]

[Aston Brishen]

Aston smiled within the kiss,he had missed those lips and knew that for 800 years,he had thought of her--without questioning himself,he wrapped his arms around Celeste and pulled her closer to him as he kissed her back,savoring the favor of her lips,those soft lips he had come to know for many times and had missed for 800 years.

[Celeste Volette]

Celeste also smiled as she kissed Aston. She had missed his lips so much for the 800 years they had been apart. She rapped her arms around his neck, holding him close to her and then deepened their kiss. She pulled away for a moment. "God, I missed you so much." she whispered, her breath warm against his lips. Then she kissed him deeply again.
