She reluctantly accepts

After a minute of pure hesitation she reluctantly agrees, if not for his pure intentions(?) she wouldve never agreed to it. Especially with an old malnourished man who seems to be molesting her supple white body with how intensely he was staring.

"It's seems it was fated, the stars have aligned and it would be rude to deny your good intentions. Very well, Ill accompany you back towards your village."

She says rather haughty while brushing one of her pigtails back past her shoulder. The old man could tell with just a glance she was going to have trouble even with the slow pace of his, traveling the dark woods in high heels will be hell. He can only hope she manages to twist her ankle and they're **** to make camp sooner.

"Course, course miss. Just follow this ol timer, might be a bit slow but I'll getcha there in a jiffy."

His face looked deathly white, weathered and worn, but he had a childlike smile on his face even if that smile was tainted by rotten yellow grin. His teeth were decayed and Mona could've sworn she saw some pointy fangs that were two times as longer than the rest of the teeth. But she shook her head in disbelief, it was late and under the shade of trees mixed darkness of the night, it was hard to make out things.

"Let's make haste"

With that the two would continue on foot, they traveled under the moonlight through the darkest depths of the forest. Just as the old man expected, Mona would find herself struggling to find her step through the dark soil. At times she would almost stumble while her heels twist slightly with the occasional large stone or tree branches found laying about. The old man would use this chance to steal a couple glances, watching how she ventures through shrubs and branches and sometimes causing a slight tear in her tights. It wasn't that noticable but it was enough for Mona to throw in the towel.

"Wait— I.. let's stop. It seems I've been traveling for far too long and—"

A sudden rumble, the sound makes her hold her stomach out of shame but the old man simply chuckles.

"Seems these ol legs of mine ain't what they used to be. How bout we both camp out till the dust settles, got me a spare tinder box. I outta set up the things, you take your time and rest lil missy."

Mona felt not only embarrassed but also ashamed she couldn't offer any help. But her feet were killing her and as soon as he made the offer the mage drops her arse on a nearby log to remove her heels. Placing them neatly by her side as she gently massages her toes and ankles through the black fabric of her tights. The old man took this chance to watch while preparing the fire, his tongue flicked back and forth like a snake, licking his dry lips as he watches from a distance. All the walking had left her feeling a bit stuffy so she unclips the black cotton neck piece holding the cloak and sets it beside her. Exposing her supple white skin to this monster or.. creep, the smoothness of her bare shoulders and the complete exposure of her tender back were all a treat for his eyes.

After sometime the camp was set and the old man had prepared a pot with some warm mushroom stew. Catching a whiff of the scent, Mona couldn't help but slightly drool.

"An old family recipe of mine, been told it helps ya grow if ya haven't."

He pours her portion into a wooden bowl before serving it to her, Mona however was a little suspicious which resulted in her reading the stars again. Yet it showed nothing malicious from the old man's part, clearly influenced by her own magic. She takes the bowl and starts downing it quickly, the lanky old fart simply smiles as his eyes still wander up and down her body, from her exposed shoulders down her to curvy hips.

"Miss, ever heard of a story bout creatures of the night who prey on unsuspecting people?"

The topic was rather sudden that Mona stopped her delicious 5 course meal to turn and offer a questionable look.

"No, sounds more of a myth. Is there such creature-"

The second their eyes meet again, a jolt runs down her body, she suddenly felt frozen in time. Mona could still see everything coming and going but she did not know what was happening to her. She could move her head around and clearly see the woods around her but she couldn't scream or even speak anymore.
