Knot The First Time

Chapter Two

A couple weeks had passed since Jedrek's encounter with the crazed mare, he had almost completely forgotten it by now. Today was his day off and he had gone down to the pub a few blocks down from his apartment building. He was a few drinks in and had stepped out to have a quick smoke and get some fresh air. He was more than a bit buzzed and feeling great for once. He rested his back against the wall and took another drag of his cigarette.

Nella had finally gotten most of that day out of her head. She could honestly say it might have been the worst first day of her life. She had been exploring the town, making sure to stay far away from where the field lay, when she heard about a neat little shop that sold some cool stones. She had a bit of a walk ahead of her and with an address in hand and some basic directions she set out. Making her way across town, knowing that she'd pass a pub on the way. As she walked on, she saw the pub ahead. The place looked cozy and pretty busy a the moment but she didn't care, she was headed for the rock shop. The closer she drew, she noticed someone standing outside, no way. That hair and those green eyes, it couldn't be. She kept walking, closer and closer, slowly realizing that it was the naked fool she met in the field. She picked up the pace, hoping to just speed walk past that place and him. Lowering her head, trying to cover her face and hide.

God, the alcohol paired with the nicotine high was making him feel really fucking great, the only thing that could make this moment any better was a beautiful woman to accompany him home tonight. And it was just his luck that a lovely girl had just entered his sight, normally he'd not go for horse gals but today he was just drunk enough to try. "He-ey pretty lady, why not pop over here for a second? You look like a girly who'd look way fuckin' hotter with me tonight." He sounded really charming in his own head, but in reality, he was just slurring his words. His labret lip ring glinted in the light as he tried to grin charmingly.

Nella stiffened, but didn't acknowledge him. She picked up her pace and was now running past the guy. Keeping her head down as she did so and tried to get as far away from him as possible.

Jedrek drops his cigarette, steps on it to put it out and begins to follow her. "Hey! Wait up, don't you be playin' hard to get now." He laughs a little and continues staggering after her, he was determined to bed this one down tonight, might take a good convincing but he was up for the challenge.

Nella tried her best to ignore the drunk calls for her. All she wanted was some crystals, some pretty pretty rocks to adorn her bedside table. She kept her speed, increasing it when she could as to not completely drain her own energy.

He could tell she wasn't from town, because if she was, she'd have known that he was herding her towards a dead end with an odd, abandoned, little shop down at the end, there he could finally catch up to the little lady and charm her into warming his bed later tonight. Or, if he was lucky he could get a quicky out of her right then and there.

She darted into a tiny shop, praying someone would be there to stop this crazed lunatic. Boy was she sorely mistaken. She ran in only to turn around and see him standing right in front of her. She backed up until she hit a wall, cornered against it. Not again, at least he didn't seem like he was trying to kill her this time. Again, maybe if they had met on different circumstances then she might be acting different around him. Sure he was brash but she couldn't help but think him a little cute. There was no time for that now, she had to think of a plan. Calling for help wouldn't do anything because no one else was there. Maybe she should make a break for it, but he might grab her. She tried to sling further back against the wall as he came closer.

He stood in the doorway, tossed his leather jacket to the side and shook his head. "You don't gotta run from me, baby. I ain't gonna do you any harm." He steps closer to her, he nuzzles into her neck, inhaling deep, sliding a hand up her torso. "I only wanna steal you away for a moment of fun. You're a real pretty girly, ya know?" He stunk of alcohol, clearly he'd been drinking.
