"You won't go, you won't leave the bed, you'll just have to hold it." He told her and frowned to himself. "Go to sleep now." He was tired, he'd had a rather long day. Coyote didn't close his eyes though. he just watched her, eyes half-lidded, waiting for her to close her eyes.

She snorted and turned her back to him, glaring into the room. She closed her eyes and was out like a baby within moments though. She slept fairly easily in almost any condition.

Coyote watched her sleep for a while and then moved up closer behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. This wasn't something affectionate or anything of the like, he just didn't want her trying to escape while he was sleeping. He finally closed his eyes and relaxed, very slowly falling asleep.

When Elena woke and felt someone's arms around her, she was brought back to a different time and place. Suddenly she was fifteen and what she had thought was Prince Charming coming to her rescue was really Prince I-am-here-to-save-you-but-also-break-your-heart-ing. She'd been in a tower for because a witch kidnapped her when she was very young- about seven- and cast a spell on her. When she was found, a few days later, at night she turned into some sort of monster that caused people to fear and dismay.
The parent's solution? Lock her up with a nanny until the spell was broken. The funny thing? The witch that had taken her wasn't a very good witch- she left out a key element to make this whole tragic story into a wonderful story for Princess Elena: the witch forgot "True Love" in her damn curse.
So when the Prince came and kissed her, thus breaking the spell, she had thought it had been her true love because that was the assumption made by the King, Queen, the Nanny...Everyone! When they asked the still living, but heavily imprisoned witch why the Prince wasn't head over heels in love with her...The witch laughed and said, "It didn't fit in my cursing rhyme!"
So...Princess Elena had been cursed with the only way to break the curse was through a kiss from a boy who happened to save her. For 8 years she had been locked away in some hidden tower waiting for Prince Charming to save her- dreaming of Prince Charming to save her! when in fact any old stable boy probably would have done the trick...In retrospect, the evil witch was rather smart to leave out that true-love bit, because all would assume it had to be true love rather than any person with a penis.
Since then, she not only did not want to marry anyone (thus running away every chance she could get to live normally in the village) but also shunned the concept of love.
So to wake up with his arms around her...Royally pissed her off. She elbowed him in the face to wake him up then scampered from his arms, but didn't make a run out. "I'm taking a bath before we go," she snapped at him bitterly and went around the screen. Her face had been red from awakening not with embarrassment or fear, but anger.

Coyote grunted, rolling onto his back and looking at her, annoyance and surprise clear in his plain grey eyes. He sat up and then got out of the bed, following her behind the curtain. "You had two boths yesterday already, you don't need another." He told her blankly, not feeling like letting her bathe, not after she'd just hit him in the face.

Elena had her shirt off behind the screen. Her eyes narrowed and turned to him, not caring if he saw her breasts at this point- he'd seen her who-ha anyways. "No, I had one bath and then I washed my face again after the food," she replied. "Besides...do you really want a stinky princess riding along with you?" she asked, crossing her arms as she stood toe-to-toe and eye-to-eye with him. "I won't talk today, or bother you at all- TODAY- if I can have this last bath. I'll comply, I'll be the best damn package to deliver today if I can have just a five minute bath. It doesn't even have to be hot water."

He looked down at her, ignoring her breasts, he'd seen others before, her's weren't that different. "Fine... If you'll be good and listen to me then you can have your bath." Coyote agreed and then turned and left, going over to his clothes and pulling them on again.

Elena kept her promise- five minutes she was clean and ready to go. She walked to his side and kept her head bowed but was still giving off regal waves. She was ready to go whenever he was.

He lead her out of there after gatheirng up everything and giving her her knew cloak, it was white and pure, there were some strings hanging from it that hace some pretty gems tied in though. They walked out of the Inn and outside to where his horse was. Coyote lifted her up onto it and got on behind her and they rode out of the village at top speed. Elena wasn't tied up now, so she'd have more balance. No worries about her falling off now.

Elena sat silently and obediently in front of him. She kept her eyes forward, mostly, but did glance around at things that stood out to make a mental map for how to return to that village if it ended up being the closest one.

They rode for a long while until the horse started to get tired and Coyote needed to stretch his legs. They stopped near a large pond and he hopped off of the horse and then helpe dher off. The horse walked over to the water, beginning to drink. "Are you hungry?"

Elena nodded and walked around near him, knowing if she strayed to far he...well, she wouldn't get this freedom. She did stray as far as the pond to look into it. For awhile she just stared at her wavy reflection. Then it blinked and she backed away abruptly. A small- inches high- person crawled out and smiled at her widely. It was a water fairy. She frowned- fairies bite. She knew this first hand. "Go away."

"It might be good luck if it bites you." He spoke from behind her, sounding slightly amused. He looked over her shoulder and down at the little fairy. "be kind to it... It seems to like you." Coyote said and gave her a slap on the rear before moving over to see how his horse was doing.

Elena blushed and glared at him. "Why do you insist on slapping my buttocks? I am not a horse, unless, of course, you're encouraging me to run," she asked, crossing her arms but avoiding the fairy. It fluttered right up to Coyote though and gripped his shirt, making a squeak.

Coyote looked at her over his shoulder, "I can't resist, your rear is just so tempting." He chuckled and looked down at the fairy, he smiled at it a little and hummed. "What is it, little thing? You don't like her?" He asked and gave a laugh, lifted a hand up and keeping his palm flat so that the fairy could rest on it if it liked.
