No worries. She'll still try and get into his pants. X3 Crappeh post, sorry

The man displayed genuine concern whens he mentioned she was being followed. Her eyes followed his as he looked around, mimicking the general concern as if they could still be around somewhere. Her eyes locked to his when he spoke and she slowly shook her head from side to side with a solemn look glued to her face. It is terrible, and I don't. Too be honest, I haven't been in this land long. Everything is new and I got overwhelmed by it all, that's when I stopped and realized how tired I was. Damn she was a good liar. Though, often times she wasn't very proud of it. It was the traffickers who had taught her to be this way after all and it really wasn't something to be proud of. Even so, it helped her in many situations and got her out of a lot of messes and for that she was thankful.

A small chuckle escaped her when he said the tears weren't a problem, of course she didn't care. Good, I'm glad. You're the first friendly face I've seen in weeks. I'm overjoyed you found me and not them. Sidra had to think on her feet. Obviously he was traveling somewhere, he smelt of many others but he had no items on him whatsoever. Maybe he was simply visiting somewhere and didn't have a pack...but that probably wasn't the case. She'd have to be clever and find out some information on him before she decided what she was going to do with him. Sidra sniffled and wiped away a few more tears, it was enough with the waterworks. She just needed them to draw his attention. Are you from a pack? Any more and she would be asking too much. If he was from a pack, maybe she could persuade him to stay with her tonight. Most likely she could pull it off. Surely he wouldn't leave a distressed and exhausted woman in the forest by herself.

Sidra definitely had this one right where she wanted him. The concern on his face was growing by the moment and she was sure he wouldn't leave her unless she told him too. If not for the act, she'd be smirking like a sly fox. But, she held herself together as the distressed and completely fragile young woman she was acting out. The man mentioned a pack called New Dawn whom she'd never heard of, nor really cared. But then he mentioned Casa. That was a huge red light for her. If he escorted her there then all of her hopes for joining would be demolished. They couldn't know what type of person she was outside those borders...well, anymore than they already did. The incidents with Hadley and Adelle had left them on edge. In the end Ismeme had graciously invited her to join the pack and she was eventually going to accept that offer. No way in hell she was going to ruin it now.

The alert was evident on her expression, ears pulling back in shame for her actions. Though she quickly covered herself with a sigh and a frown. I don't think that would be the best idea. I'm sure those men would go straight to the borders and ask for me. She turned away and faked a gasp. If they found me, they would use any lie in the book to get Casa to turn me over to them. They're smart, vile men. I have to stay in the forest. Perfect. With watering eyes, she turned to look at the man once again hoping he would buy it. Please, please stay with me tonight and I promise that in the morning you can leave and never see me again. I just need to be able to rest without worry of them catching me. If you're here, it would make a world of difference. This was the moment of truth. If he accepted then she would do her best to make the best of this evening. Who knows, if she could get him drunk maybe he had some important information about something or another. At this point, she was too late into it to pull out so she would put her all into it. I will even make us a fire and catch us some dinner. Anything so I don't get caught.

Well she certainly failed. XD Let's see Jiva struggle!

Sidra noticed the frown that wrinkled the man's nose as she told him her plan. Obviously he didn't like the sound of it and that wasn't good for her. This whole thing was turning out to be a disaster. Why was she even pursuing him anymore? He didn't appear to have a single thing on him which meant he was pretty much useless in her eyes. Sidra turned away and sighed, hiding the frustration that was building up inside of her. He was right though, a fire was a bad idea and it would surely lead these 'men' straight for her. Sidra turned back to the man when he spoke, her eyes pleading for him to agree with her. How does staying here with me make your loyalty any less? You would be helping me a great deal. Yes, a fire is a bad idea. We don't need one. This was going nowhere fast and she was feeling as though she might as well abort her mission.

Now, he was persuading her to come back with him. No, no, no. That was not going to happen. If she went back there, nothing would be accomplished except for her fufillment of this act she was putting on for him. Slowly she shook her head. There was nothing she could do. Casa was the pack she wished to join, maybe doing this was a bad idea if she ever planned on doing so. Sidra really didn't see the harm in him staying with her tonight. But, Sidra didn't know what it meant to be in a pack. The last time she had a family, was when she lived in Alaska and at that time she was very young, almost too young to remember. Eyes narrowed a slight bit, maybe he needed some persuasion of his own.

A slender arm rose to rest on his chest as she looked him in the eye, scooting a bit closer to the stranger. I would love to come back with you, believe me I would. But it appears my situation is much, much more complicated than you think. I am safer out here, trust me. The other hand came to rest on his chest as well, her body moving closer still. At this point, she really didn't see why she was doing this anymore. I guess, for the fun of it. Sidra moved in placing her cheek against his and whispered in the man's ear. Please stay with me and I will make your time worth while. Of course now he would probably see her true intentions, but it really didn't matter anymore. He had nothing to offer her except himself. She knew exactly what she was doing in this department, being raised to do this very thing. Capture a man's heart in an instant.

Sidra still didn't understand what it meant to be loyal to anyone. Loyalty was something she grew up fighting against, it wasn't something she respected. She frowned slightly. This man was so uptight and righteous, it was quit annoying. The young woman had never had so much trouble getting a man to agree with her. She knew she was stunning, beautiful, persuading, even if she normally didn't feel like it. When she was acting, like she was now, she felt powerful and him knocking down every offer she through at him was angering her.

The spotted hybrid noted his discomfort when she placed her hands on him, though she didn't move. Instead, they started to travel down his front. A sensual smile took over as she tried with all her might to seduce the young man. His eyes stared coldly back at her but she refused to believe he didn't want her, who wouldn't want her? She huffed in discontent as he back away and her head flopped the side, ears moving with the motion. Meanwhile, her tail twitched anxiously hoping he would change his mind and come with her tonight. At this point she didn't care about jewels and valuable possessions, now it was about power. If he didn't come back with her tonight, that would mean she lost and was unworthy. Oh, but I'm not so sure about that. I can prove to you that there are other things worth your while. We can explore and find them out. She smiled, trying to be perky. His next words made her heart drop and the pit of her stomach not up, he'd found her out. Damnit again...

It was obvious that he was upset with her now that she'd pushed the matter, but she had to think of something. Wait, she was being chased. She'd escaped the traffickers and had come here. The story she'd told him wasn't all a lie, she just needed to play it off as the truth. There is. You have to believe me. They're men who see woman as possessions and nothing more. Her eyes flicked down to her own naked body, the scars that littered her proof of her past. She returned to his cold gaze. I have been one of their possessions, but I finally escaped. I'm free now, but I don't know how long I'll be free if I'm out here alone. The forest is the last place they'll check for me, it's expansive and they'll never find me there. Her eyes were welling up with tears again, this time they were real. Though, she was still acting in a sense. Yes, the traffickers were trying to find her but they hadn't even found the first clue to where she was. Her, Kativa, and Xander had traveled all over the U.S. before coming here. It would take them a long while to catch up. But, the thought of those vile men brought tears to her eyes. The memories of her mother and all the things she was forced to do brought out a panicked side of Sidra.

Sounds good. Sidra dun' goofed. X3

Even now that she wasn't faking it, the man wouldn't believe her. She knew it was probably because he was smarter than this, or she'd messed up in some way. Probably the fact that she'd refused to go back with him made him suspicious. Either way, she was getting more frustrated by the moment. Sidra knew this was not going to work out the way she'd planned. The way she'd accomplished it so many times before now. The only problem was, she didn't want to believe it. Her pride was again coming between her and reality, fogging her mind. There was no way he would say no to her!

He explained that he had a mate and that only angered her more. Who cared about his stupid personal life? She sure didn't and didn't want to hear about it, she didn't want to hear about how she'd lost this battle. The rejection was setting in and driving her insane. Nobody rejected Sidra, not even when she was in the trafficking business. In fact, she'd been quit the hit. The thought drove her to further hysteria, the tears flowing freely down her cheeks. Why would she ever compare it to that time? She wasn't their possession, not anymore. Sidra was trying to keep her cool, she was, but there was a very fragile wall holding her back from going off on the stranger. Who was he to judge her in such away. When he started up again she cracked, her hands clenching into fists, the act over.

He called her mental. That was the final straw. After he finished she stood and looked down at him, the fiery anger evident in her gaze. Maybe you're just a heartless man who doesn't see that a woman needs your help. You're just as bad as them! You don't know these men like I do. You don't know how ruthless they can be. A pack isn't going to save me from them. By now, she was telling the truth about how she felt. They were ruthless and would stop at nothing to have her back. The man stayed calm as he spoke, though she could tell he was very upset. Stubbornly, she stood firm in what she was saying. I would like no sanctuary where people like you live. Leave, I'll be fine on my own. Sidra was fuming by now, hopefully he would get up and leave like he said or she'd go off on him.
