Ashen Fold

Naomi had made it to the Ashen Fold without any real incident, which pleased her greatly. The last thing she needed at that point was another squabble. With all the blood she had shed, she was almost certain that her scent would've drawn every vampire in town directly to her.

She limped over to the desk where the innkeeper sat. The innkeeper was a middle-aged man, with salt and pepper hair, deep brown eyes, and leathery skin. He looked up at her and flashed her a smile; it was very welcoming.

"What can I do for you, miss?" he asked cheerfully, "Need a room?"

"Actually, I should already have a room, reserved under the name 'Naomi'," she replied, relief evident in her voice.

"Of course! Your room is down the hall, the third door on the left," he said brightly as he handed her a key, then went about his business. He seemed to be writing something down, but Naomi deemed it unimportant.

The lycan walked stiffly but quickly to her room. She unlocked the door with trembling hands, and as soon as it clicked, she flung the door open and walked inside, then closed and locked it behind her.

Finally, a room to herself. A room where she could do anything she wanted. Naomi had needed to relieve her stress for a while now, and hadn't gotten an opportunity. After all, this was something she couldn't do in public. Not without drawing unwanted attention, anyhow.

She sank down against the door, covered her face with her hands, and began weeping uncontrollably.

Albel arrived at the same inn, he had no reservation but paid for a relatively cheap room he gained a discount because he was a priest though, useful for him at the current time. "Sigh... this is so odd..." he said he walked down the hall he stopped short as he went near Naomi's room he heard crying.

He turned to face the door and listened more, then knocked on her door accompanying the knock, "Um... is everything okay in there?" he asked her through the door, his voice was gentle as he spoke through the door.

With a startled yelp, Naomi twitched and bashed the back of her head against the door. She hadn't expected anyone to hear her. Wiping her eyes, she stood up and opened the door. The girl kept herself mostly out of sight; she peeked around the side of the door, showing at most half of her face to the man.

"I'm fine," she said in a hoarse whisper, "Just injured and hungry and tired."

"And frightened," she almost added, but her pride would not allow her to admit to such a thing.

"I'm sorry if I'm disturbing anyone."

Albel looked straight at her, trying to keep a straight face then he dropped it he let his head hang and sighed. Though he lifted it right back up, "It's fine child, would you like some food then? At most I can give you some." he offered her stepping back from the door he felt he was far to close. "You aren't disturbing anyone I just heard you crying and wanted to see if I could help." he thought for a moment he could make a make shift confessional if she closed her door again..

"Yes, please, Father," Naomi said with some relief once she realized he was a priest. The rest of her pain would take some time to heal, but the fix for her pained stomach was an easy one, it seemed.

She shyly opened the door further and stepped out, making certain that her room key was in her satchel. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, but all of her wounds were dressed, and the blood on her clothing and skin was mostly dried. With all the blood, dirt, and (dried, thankfully) wine on her, she desperately needed another bath.

"I hope my room is outfitted with a tub," she thought, and pleaded silently with God to let it be so.

Albel looked Naomi over slowly, he wasn't trying to hit on her or anything. He nodded several times for seemingly no reason at all, "Would you like to bathe before you eat?" he asked her, he saw the dried blood and her red puffy eyes as well. "If you'd like while you stay in a room I'll sit outside of it and it can work like a confessional." he offered her as well, he had only done a confessional a few times.

The few times he'd done it though, it had helped the person to get what they wanted to say off their chest. He didn't look away from her but he did bring a hand to her cheek and rub away some of her tears gently, his touch came with a gentle smile as well. " Poor child must have been through hell recently, I hope I can help." he said to himself in his head.

Naomi nodded, looking as if she might cry again. She forced a small smile for the priest, however, before shrinking back behind the door.

"I think I could use a confessional. God seems to be very angry with me. Maybe this will help soothe His temper," she said, no bitterness in her voice; just a deep sadness.

She closed the door softly and sat directly behind it.

"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned..." Naomi began, barely loud enough for the priest to hear.

Albel sat down pressing his back against the door as well, "Let me know what troubles you child, and tell me of your sins." he wasn't entirely used to the whole thing yet but he'd be sure to try his best with Naomi she really seemed sad, and that was likely putting it very lightly.

"God forgives everyone, we are all his wayward sheep..." he was making stuff up and was hoping it would sound good, he silently rubbed the top of his head and began to play with his hair.

"Father, it has been nine years since my last confession. In those past nine years, I have dishonored both of my parents by running away, betraying the trust of all my family out of pride. And I have further shamed them and myself by not returning when I had the chance. I have lied and stolen countless times, preying on innocent merchants. According to my employer, I inadvertently caused the death of many orphaned children through my selfishness. I have manipulated, and used my female... 'gifts' to use men. I have fought, and I have injured innocents. I stole a woman's baby yesterday. I gave it back, but I ripped her skirt," Naomi said, trying to remember everything wrong that she had done. She couldn't remember many particular instances of her theft, however, so she grouped all of her robberies that she could together.

Albel began to nod and knocked his head against the door, "I see, do you miss your parents and family? Pride is man kinds downfall if you let it contorl you bad things are bound to happen. Theft can be fixed you can donate time to work for an orphanage or help merchants. Hmm, I believe sex outside of marriage is not allowed, but if you mean that you showed off your body to get things, you mustn't do that any longer. At least you brought the womans child back though I can't say there is a way to repay the woman for her skirt unless you know where she lives." Albel quietly sighed still twisting his hair in his hand trying to think.

"All can be forgiven if you truly want to be forgiven, you need to pray and ask god to forgive you if you truly want it then you may be forgiven." he thought for several moments, he was happy with what he had said at least for now. "All actions are not without consequence, it obviously hurts you for what you did in the past, and often times people exaggerate, I've seen people purposefully harm others emotionally. Ask for forgiveness and look to the future." he offered more he closed his eyes as he waited.
