She was going home but she had run into him, now she didn't want to go home anymore. No prizes for guessing what that made him think. He flashed her a killer grin as if really happy to hear that. Well he was, it was good that she didn't want to go.
Oh but what about Hansel? He would be worried sick if his sister didn't go back home wouldn't he? "But if you linger around all night you're brother will worry..." Come to think of it, where was that brother of hers? Until now, Zeque hadn't given it any thought. Usually they were together, maybe he was around somewhere too.

Greatl flinched a little at what she had said that may have given him the wrong idea. "I'm going into town, I forgot something..." yeah it was a stupid lie but oh well it was the best she could come up with.
"No he won't worry since I don't know where he is" also another lie but he was her back up plan. She didn't want Zeque to know that he was right, eventually he would figure something happened and come looking for her.

Zeque arched an eyebrow. "You just came from town... and your sense of direction is a little off" Yeah sure it was, she had being going in exactly the right direction, they weren't far from town at all right now and to be honest Zeque didn't like that much. If he could get her to believe that she was going the wrong way then she might go in a different direction if she decided to run again. He might not have believed her first little story but the part about not knowing where Hansel was he did believe. Probably because it was a good thing. If she didn't know where he was right now it meant he wasn't at home, meaning he could be around here somewhere. "Okay... lets see if we can find him then" He said, thought it wasn't clear weather he was talking to her or to himself.

She sighed quietly in frustration, she had been going in the wrong direction. Maybe she should have just stuck to the path by the river, there wasn't many places to hide but would have got to town quicker. It hadn't really done her much good to take the woods way in the end. She tried her best to hide how freaked out she was at the moment.
She almost felt her heart stop when he mentioned looking for Hansel "No!" she said a little to loudly "I really don't know where he is, I haven't seen him in months." Right after she said it she regreted it, maybe if she had played along then it would have giveen her ample opportunities to bolt.

Zeque didn't feel like going home right now, that was most probably a good thing because ti meant he wouldn't be attempting to take her there with him. Not yet anyway. So to Zeque, looking around the woods for Hansel sounded like a really fun idea.
But then she went and said that. The witch liked Hansel one hell of a lot, the same way he liked Gretal. He knew that they didn't usually stay away from each other very long so hearing that she hadn't seen him in months... well he kind of started to panic. "W-what?" All kinds of things came to mind. He could be anywhere, lost? hurt? Or worse? "Hansel's lost and you're running around the woods playing games and going shopping?! Whats wrong with you?!" Obviously this was quite upsetting for Zeque. He looked at her as if waiting for her to say something, anything at all that might give him some idea where Hansel might be.

She was a little surprised by how he reacted to finding out about that she had no idea where he was even though she knew exactly where he was. "I wasn't playing around in the woods" she snapped. "If you hadn't chased me then I wouldn't even be in here and I was shopping because he......." she stopped herself, oh god had she just said "he".
Maybe there was a chance that was one of the moments where he wasn't listening to her and didn't catch her saying he.

Well he hadn't wanted that, he wanted her to tell him where Hansel had gone, if he had said anything. Something that give him some idea. But no she had to get all shouty again. "Thats not helping!!" He loved her to bits and everything but really, there was just no need for that. Bickering about who chased what where wasn't going to fi-... he? "He what?" The witch asked, folding his arms again. She was shopping because he... well what could it be really? Because he asked her to a few months a go and she hadn't gotten round to it until now? Zeque seriously doubted it.

"Well I'm not here to help you" she yelled back. She did a quick look around she had no idea where she was going to run too. If she was really off the path then running away would get her lost and that did sound appealing at all.
"He had me go look for some stuff for him" she finished, it didn't matter, as far as she knew Zeque had no clue where they lived so he was safe and there was no way in hell she would tell him where or lead him there in any way. "Just leave him alone!" she screeched.

So she had just made it all up then? "Oh you silly girl" what was she thinking anyway? Lieing about something like that? And now she was screeching away like a hysterical little child. He just blocked that noise out and concentrated on calming down himself.
After a few moments he shook his had again. He was still annoyed, but not as much. "I think you need a nap" He told her matter of factly. Well she was screeching and playing up. She must be over tired because she didn't usually act like a bratt. Usually she was a good girl. Well, the parts he remembered were of her being good anyway.

She shook her head, she sucked at lying usually that was a good thing but now it wasn't really helping her at all, and now it looked like she had pissed him off a little which scared her a little. Taking a deep breath to calm down a little she glared at him.
"I'm not a little kid" she said after he had said she needed a nap, geez what did she look five. "What exactly do you want?" she said raising an eyebrow, dumb question but hey she would take her chances.

She wasn't a little kid? Oh well she sure was acting like one, and if she could see herself screeching like he was quite sure she would think so too. But he didn't bother to point that out, it would only get her even more upset. He didn't want her to be upset.
When she asked him what he wanted Zeque smiled at her. That would-be-cute-if-it wasn't-so-creepy kind of smile. "I want to touch your pretty yellow hair, its shiny. I like it" He told her in a fairly sweet voice. He then took a step towards her as he continued to tell her: "And i want you to come home so i can take care of you for ever and ever" His smile spread into a grin towards the end of that but his voice stayed all sweet and innocent. Or at least it would be if it wasn't for what he was saying.

She had been a little scared before but now she was really scared. She took a few steps away when he took a few steps toward her. She continued to back up when he said he wanted to take her home, oh god it was happening again.
Eventually she was stopped by a tree behind her. She turned her head and looked behind the tree, even if she ran she couldn't go very fast since there was so much undergrowth. Her mind reeled trying to think fo something.
Nothing coming to mind she screamed again, hoping that somebody heard her. There had to be other people in the woods, hopefully some girl screaming would be enough to get somebody to help her.

That grin never left his face as she backed up to a tree. "Where are you goin' kitten?" He didn't want to go yet, he was perfectly happy for now just staying out here in the woods.
But then she screamed. He bit his lip and glanced around the surrounding tree's quickly. If anyone was around they would have heard that, no doubt about it. He didn't want anyone coming, they would take her away from him and he really didn't want that. After pausing for a moment to listen, he put his finger to his lips and told her "Shhh!"

She wasn't going anywhere, going off the path behind her would just be pointless. And he was standing in her way of her going in any of the other directions. Why did she have to freak out and back herself into a tree, she could have just bolted for it.
She stopped screaming and listened when he told her to shh. She was hoping to hear the sound of somebody coming but there was nothing. "I'm not going" she said trying to keep her voice steady.

He stayed quiet when she stopped screaming, trying really hard to listen for any sounds. Already he was going over what he could do if someone did come. He could cast all kinds of spells. Or just grab her wrist and run. Depends on who it was or how many of them. But he didn't hear anything. Relived but still a little on edge he looked back at her. She probably didn't mean to but what she said made him smile again. "Good cos i don't want you to go" He told her, again back to the cheery voice. "Lets stay here, i like it here, don't you?"
