Weilding the bells

(((Uhm, they are at the top of the waterfall, heading down.)))

Kinta shook his head. He snatched her back down. "DON'T do that. This is my world, and I know what I'm doing here. You don't. You need to heed my advice if you want to survive here." He continued down the waterfall path. "Now. PROMISE me you won't do anything? I don't want anything to happen to you," he said in a quiet whisper.

She snatched her hand out off his.

But....when she heard his last sentence....she liked him a little more, "Fine." she said bluntly and folded her arms and wings but kept hold of her syth.

Kintaru smiled. "Thank you. Thank you very much. Now be careful, please." He continued down the path in the middle of the waterfall. "Stand right behind me all the way through the next one. It's a bit of a rough road, the Second Precinct."

"I've been here for a short while before." she hissed, "And if you haaven't noticed I'm a vampire...I don't need to listen to your orders but I will so you don't freak." she growled.

(((By the way? 10)))

Kinta turned and looked dead into Aelmyr's eyes. "The Dead don't give a damn that you are one of them. They'll pull you down into the river to be swept to your death just as much as they would me. And believe me, passing the Ninth Gate would kill you just as dead as the sun or the loss of your head."

She looked into the water and realized that the misty white figures where souls and grabbed at her dress. She clenched her teeth and pulled her dress to her thigh and tighed it so it would stay.Her stapy white high heels slipped in the river mud. She almost fell.

Kintaru smiled. He offered her his arm so that she could get rid of the shoes. "I guess I should have told you that was not a good idea, wearing heels in Death. Next time, be more careful." He sighed, and glanced around. This was the Second Precinct, and not only was the current a bit more powerful here, there also very fearsome inhabitants.

"Sorry I didn't know you were going to kill me." she growled and took her heels off.

"Aelmyr, forgive me. I'm not used to having someone come into Death with me, let alone a female wearing heels." He shook his head. "That came out wrong anyway. I meant that to myself. I need to remember that not everyone knows that the mud in this river is very sticky."

She was tooken by surprise when he said 'let alone a female' she shook her head and sighed, "Then Why did you bring me here?" she said casually as the mud squirted threw her toes.
