The truth and the Liar (Part 2)

As soon as she heard the crowd she knew.

"He is here..." she says to herself.

"Well, it seams that the old elf is following you mum, look whos there..." Eilien apoints with a head movement to the imponent figure of the elf.

Marion looked back and there he was. Erik Eyolf Serpentis. Tall and magnificent as always. Theire last encounter he looked diferent. Now, he was back to the normal being. She tries to keep herself out of his vision, but she knows that is not going to work. He is not alone. That Creepy man is with him.

"I will have a few words with him..." She thougts.

Eilien: Mum,..Mum! What are you thinking? I haven't seen you for a wile...I want to know what hapened that night ...you know, when the bloody elf went to see you...

Marion: I see that you and Ruprecht has a lot in common. Don't call him Bloody elf... He is more important than you think...and that is my fault. Look, darling, we need to talk. I don't supose to be here...but I have to speak with you about something... Eilien: What is going on? I mean... I don't care if he is a big important Lord or anything...I don't care. And you know why.

Marion: Yes I know. But It was not his fault. I knew from the beggining the rules of it, it was my mistake not his. He never promesed me anything. I was young and stupid enough to believe that I was the one that would be able to change him. But he can't change. And I see that now.

Eilien: I can't understand why you defend him so much... Yes, you knew the rules. Yes, you accepted the fact that he is a pig... But he used you and after that he just throw you away... Marion: No Eilien, I left because I decided to. It was me the one who was inlove, and because he didn't I had to go. He didn't do anything to me eccept not to love me back... and...I have done something..bad to him...after all...

When she is trying to finish the sentence, the reservoir dog aproches their table.

Gormok:...You must seat with him now...

Marion does not look at him. She leaves him talk, and when he is done she stands up, with a furious spark on her eyes.

Marion: Good night Gormot. I was wondering when I shoul be able to met the one who was hunting my captain. He is a good man, you know. Curious and drunk, yes. But good. He was following my orders, so, in the future, if there is anything that you or your Lord could need...Come to me, but do not hunt my men, because I will put a chain on your neck and I will make you jump as the dog that you are....You might be cruel and cold blood, and I know that you are Eriks servant... You might fraighten men, but as you can see I am not one.

Gormok Looks at her and insist that they have to seat on Erik's table.

Eilien: Mum, what is hapening? what is all that about?

She is to confuse to think about a posible matter. Even with the confusion, you can see the draconian expresion into her eyes.

Marion: I am sorry Eilien. It seems that the truth and the liar are about to come out...I love you. Marion cross the room, followed by her daughter and the hound. She looks imponent among all the drunk man. She looks wild.

She sees him, smoking his pipe as he likes to do. And she stops her love right there. He knows the truth, but he is not taking Eilien away from her. She would fight. and she would kill him if she has to. A sad pain starts moving in the deep, because she realise that after all, she lied to the most beloved people of her life.
