There was no way she wanted to stay there and she had thought up a weak plan to get away. Instead of a comback like she had been doing before she just nodded.
Looking past him she focused on a tree behind him and screamed like she had just seen a monster. What she wanted to happen was for him to think that there was something behind him so he would look and she could take that moment to make a dash for it.

The witch just about jumped out of his skin when she screamed, turning hsi head in the direction she was looking. He didn't really know what ti was he expected to see but a tree wasn't it. His eyes darted around, something up int he branches? Nothing. There was nothing there, god she must be even more on edge then he was right now. "There's nothing there" He said, turning back again...

As soon as his head turned to look behind him, she took off heading in a direction she thought was town, unkown to her that she had actually been going in the right direction.
Gretal knew she wasn't going to outrun him so hiding was her next idea. Turning off the path she hid behind a bush basically lying flat on her stomach so that she was hidden. She put her hood back up so that she would blend in a little btter.

She had run off. "Oh that little wi-" ... wait no he was a witch, it would be a little stupid to use that as an insult. "Git" He corrected himself, it didn't sound as good now but oh well, not like anyone was here listening to him getting all annoyed anyway. He had no idea which way she went either. Aw that was so stupid, falling for her little trick.
Well as determined as he was to find her, he really did have no idea what direction to look in. Well she wouldn't go towards town, he didn't think so anyway, he was pretty sure he had tricked her out of that one. And she couldn't have gone anywhere in his line of vision either so really it was either left or right. He had a 50/50 Chance of getting it right, but she could easily change direction again...and again. With a sigh he closed his eyes and listened. Nothing. So he just turned to the right and walked...

She closed her eyes and tried to slow down her rapid breathing and listened carefully. So far she heard nothing and she couldn't see Zeque. She slowly got into crouch position and looked around carefully, still no sign of him.
Standing up straight she walked in the direction that she guessed would take her into town, not running this time since she was sure she had lost him. She really hoped the going right had been the right choice but hey it was in the "right" direction, so she couldn't go wrong. It was a stupid thought but she needed somthing to calm herself down and knowing that she was possibly going towards town made her feel a little better.

This was kind of ridiculous. Walking around still soaking wet from falling in a river chasing after trying to find a girl that could be absolutely anywhere in the woods. Well he may as well fix the wetness now wile he walked. Witht hat thought in mind, Zeque closed his eyes for a moment muttering something in what sounded a little like Latin. He cupped his hands infront of him and after a few seconds a small flame appeared just over them, floating. It was about the size of a tennis ball and rather then burning orange it seemed to glow a greenish blue. He opened his eyes again, walking along with the little flame floating there just above his hands, keeping him warm.
A squirrel moved around in a tree close by. He looked up, then seeing what ti was just turned his honey colored eyes on path ahead again. He made a mental note to learn some transformation spells by heart. He didn't know any without a book infront of him but being able to change into something faster, or that could fly would be really useful round about now.
After walking a little longer he gave up with the walking and listening thing and decided to just run instead, concentrating on not tripping over anything.

After walking for some time she stopped to look up at the sky, now it was really dark, and it was even darker since the trees shaded out what little light was left. Now in the dark nothing looked familier and if she had been going in the right direction than she would have arrived in town by now. As much as she hated to admit it to herself, she was lost.
"Fuck" she murmered to herself, this was the most she had sworn in her entire life, as sad as it was. "What did I do to deserve this" she said not bothering to say it quietly. As far as she could hear there was nobody around. Gretal looked around and tried to decide which way to head, but she was having a lot of trouble deciding since she was scared she would get even more lost than she already was.

He wasn't really paying quite as much attention now to looking as he had been. Now he was thinking more about being all warm again. The little flame gave off a lot more heat then you would think by looking at it, and running instead of walking helped a lot too. He then realized that he wasn't far from home, not far at all. Well that was good. Maybe he should just give up and walk there. So he changed direction just a tiny bit and blew out the fire. It disappeared, leaving a small poof of pretty purple smoke that faded away quickly. He was walking about half a minuet when he heard a girls voice. What did I do to deserve this Gretal! He stood dead still but couldn't help grinning to himself. She wasn't far off at all. And right near home too, coincidence? Yes but he didn't think so. He would rather think she had meant to go that way. Moving quietly he walked in her direction, he didn't bother with sneaking up on her or jumping out from behind things. But when he did find her, he just happened to come out pretty much behind her, about 6 or 7 meters away. "You're a naughty girl, running off like that" He said, unable to hide the fact that he was really proud of himself for finding her again.

The situation she was in really sucked, in fact her life at the moment really sucked. Being lost out in the woods with some psyco after her, things could not get much worse.
You're a naughty girl, running off like that
She jumped when she heard his voice from behind her. Nope scratch that things had got worse. "Can't you just let me go home" she said in a tired tone.

"Aw Kitten" His voice was all sweet again, full of affection, it sounded almost dreamy. He started to walk again, but not towards her. Keeping the same distance between them he walked to the left, as if starting to circle her. "We nearly are home" With that he waved one hand. A few trees close by shook a little and then at his silent command some branches shifted, bending back out of the way, making a clear path. Through the new gap in the tree's the candy house could be seen, just a moments walk from where they were standing. "Oh and... I'm sorry i lied... i didn't want you to go to town" He admitted suddenly, glancing down at the ground for a second, then back up to her.

She closed her eyes trying not to cry, she could not believe out of all the places she could have got lost she had got lost right by his house. Now she was sure god hated her.
When he told her that he had led her in the direction on purpose, her fear turned to anger. "What is your problem asshole!" she said yelling again, not caring that she was yelling. Now she could feel herself crying "I don't want to go" she said tearfully.

As much as he hated to see her so upset, deep down he really was very proud of himself for tricking her like that. Well it served her right for trying to run off into town in the first place, she should have known he hated it there. Still she was upset now and at the same time he felt a little bad. He continued to circle her, only now moving gradually closer at the same time. "Don't cry, hate it when you cry" He said, sounding genuinely concerned about her. The fact that she just yelled and swore at him of course went totally in one ear and out the other. "I don't want you to go either... i want you to stay... I'll be sad if you go" He nodded his head as if to agree with himself.

"For some reason I have a really hard time beleiving that" she said when he said he hated seeing her cry.
She was a little surprised when she felt a little bad when he said he would be sad to see her go. She shook her head, she had no reason to feel bad, he had done enough to her so that if anything he should feel bad, but she doubted that would happen. She tried to think of another way to get away but her mind was filled with all the bad memories of last time she had been locked in the house with Zeque and her brother. Occupied by her thoughts she didn't even notice that he was slowly getting closer to her as he circled...

"Oh don't be that way. I hate it when you cry" He said it as if to say 'don't be so silly' the way a parent does when there child is being over dramatic. "You're just so difficult sometimes..." He didn't want his thoughts to go onto depressing things though so he stopped mid-sentence and shook his head.
He was pretty close now, so rather then carry on with the circles, once he got behind her again he just took a step towards her and nudged her shoulders a little int he direction of the house. His voice was suddenly all cheery again as he chirped: "Go on then Kitten, lets go"

"I'm being difficult...." she started then stopped, what was the use he wasn't listening to her anyway. She was going to be getting alot more difficult if he seriously thought she was just going to walk into the house like a good girl.
When he nudged her shoulder from behind it caused her to take a step foreward but she quickly took a step back to where she was standing. This was what she had been dreading, she really didn't know how she was going t do.
