Crimson sat quietly in the corner of the Arrow, wrapped partially under her piwafwi cloak, she looked like nothing more than a shadow. It was all for the better though, the slightest disturbance could very well send her instincts rushing back into her. She was already upset with herself as it is, almost getting killed by a fool drow male. It was so unlike her to let her guard down, but she has been distracted ever since the other day..

..*Pop!*.. Crimson sat up abruptly in her chair. She heard it.. the trap went off. Before she even realized completely the importance of the matter, she found herself standing near the enterance of her hidden lair.

"I knew I heard it." she muttered quietly as she waved her hands where the magical bubble over the door handle used to be. Her crimson orbs seemed to be ablaze with anger. She shot revealing spells all of the wood surrounding her lair, and found nothing. Further examanation of the door showed nobody had entered, but trying to enter was enough to fuel the fire.

"How did anyone know?" her voice screeched inside her head. "I dont know!!" she answered herself aloud.

She collapsed in anguish onto the forest floor. She thought comming back to the Glade would rid her of this follower. She couldnt take it any longer..

"I will catch you sooner or later!" she screamed. "I know your watching me!"

But that was the problem.. she had the slightest idea of who it could be. Was it the rements of her old household seeking revenge, or perhaps House Maeydrn, which Drareswen heard talking about her. Her thoughts traveled to her guardian. Aslynth watched her silently most of her life, but Crimson grew to sense her presense. This presense is something else.

She glanced longingly out the window. Most of the time she didnt mind being alone.. but right now she felt vulnerable and scared. Carefully draping her glittering cloak over her shoulders completely, and snuck quietly out the door.

She walked for what seemed like forever, until the path stopped and she could walk no more. Standing before her, was the most beautiful thing she had ever laid her eyes on. The fresh blue water splashed marvelously from rock to rock until it hit the river below. A small rainbow stretched across the bank to the other side.

She slowly inched her feet until her toes lay over the edge of the cliff. She looked down, the bottom was nearly a hundred meters below her. She took a deep breath, and with all the strength she could muster, she allowed herself to lean forward until she began to fall down through the pounding wall of water.

Hours later.. a form began to stir from the depths of the waterfall. A delicate drow female walked out of the river sopping wet, with a big smile on her face.

"Oh how I love a nice long shower.."
