There was no way for Ghayth to contact her. The royal guard didn't know her face, let alone her name. Yet somehow, Acacia had sensed that she needed to go to the woods where she had first met and claimed him. She had a sneaking suspicion that her little servant had some information for her.

A few days had passed since the address, and since Acacia had found out that she wasn't the only Scorza in Lorendale. She was definitely not planning on sharing that information with anyone, though. For now, it was just her and Tallis.

The dark-skinned woman had covered her face with a dark veil, one that would normally be worn by a widow at her husband's funeral. Acacia couldn't risk being seen by Ghayth, although his eyes weren't able to adapt to the darkness like hers could.

She was positioned in a tree and looked doen at the area Ghayth was standing in. He told the darkness that he had information, which made her smirk.

"Speak, hatchling", she said, as if she had created him and she was the matriarch of a spider colony. She would remain in the tree, high and dry.

Ghayth's attention was immediately drawn to her voice, which had a mesmerizing quality to it - both alluring and toxic, causing him a pain that he couldn't help but enjoy. As he walked, he came across a tree and stopped to lean against it, taking a moment to close his eyes and enjoy the sensation.

He then spoke up, relaying the news he had just heard: "I've just learned that Honoura Allemeade has gone missing. The last known sighting of her was at the community meeting, which was being led by Marchioness Scout Kane. It's been said that Honoura had a heated argument with her brother, Marquis Remiel, over his recent engagement. It's possible that the argument may have led to her disappearance."

Her little informant's attention was captured once she spoke, and Acacia could see him trying to figure out where she was hiding.

The information he gave her wasn't as interesting as she had hoped, but it was still definitely something. Honora missing...

"What happened to Elena Eldouir, and Remiel's fiancé?" she asked. Oriana hadn't been seen since the address, and what was going to happen to the Eldouir was the most interesting part of it all, of course. If one redhead was near, others would be as well. The Allemeades had worked with the Eldouir before. She wondered if Honora's disappearance had something to do with them.

"Remiel's Fiance killed herself." There was a slight sadness in his voice when he said those words, even though he never mat a woman, it must have taken a lot to be willing to kill oneself. When Acacia asked him about Miss Eldoir his eyebrows raised slightly, as it would of been impossible for Acacia to have been there because she would have been collard herself and he also knew he had to be extremely careful. This sort of information. "They had a meeting with all the gifted who were at the speech was stationed outside of the room when it happened and as soon as the Queen left I followed her."

The corners of her mouth turned downward. Oriana had killed herself, which was a shame, because it meant she was weak. She thought the woman was stronger than that.

"Ghayth, you disappoint me", she said with a somewhat angry tone. "How are you supposed to give me good information when you're never in the room when it happens?"

She was silent for a moment. "Do I need to find another informant, or are you going to do better?"

Ghayth looked towards the voice, not flinching. He knows if she was planning to get close to him, he would see her coming cause his back was to the tree so, there was not a chance for her to come from behind him. "May oh may, you very intoxicating when you're mad." His voice was soft, slightly purring. He was not affected but her tone was not in the way one would normally be affected. "I love it when a woman takes control."

He thought for a moment "I think I've heard a few guards talking about gifted being held in the cells in the dungeon. It is highly possible that Elena is down there."

He angered him. He was fetishizing her and he was letting his kink get the better of him.

"I am not teasing you, Ghayth. There's nothing to love about me taking control. I am always in control, and only you providing me with useful information is keeping you alive", she said. Her voice was extremely threatening.

"You need to find out what they're planning with Elena. Tell me now, is that something you can do, or will you waste my time again?"

Ghayth stood confidently, a slight smile playing on his lips as he spoke. His eyes were fixed in the direction of the gifted who had tried to intimidate him, but he was unfazed by their attempt. He leaned against the tree, looking relaxed and composed.

"And yet, I find it very attractive," Ghayth said as he surveyed the gifted. "What can I say? I know what I like." He had always admired women who exuded confidence and were natural leaders, and he could see those qualities in the gifted before him.

Ghayth's voice was firm and assured as he made a promise. "Rest assured that I will do everything in my power to obtain information about their plans for Elena. I will find out what they're up to." He was determined to uncover the truth and help her, no matter what it took.

Now he had actually done it. He had pissed her off beyond reconciliation. Her features darkened and her muscles tensed. His promise didn't mean anything to her, and the disrespect was more than she could stomach.

Acacia crawled down the tree, the one he was leaning against, and created a web that went around him and the tree, locking him in. She was still hidden behind the tree, and the darkness concealed her well. She grabbed his head and pushed it to the side before sinking her teeth into his neck, right in the important veins. The venom leaked from her teeth into his veins, and the built-up quality of the venom would be enough to paralyze him and his heart, which would result in it stoppin and killing him.

Feeling her bite into his neck, there was pain but also sadness that he let her down. He softly place his hand ontop of hers that grabbed his head, he wasn't fighting this. "I love... you." with that his heart stopped. Letting his hand drop and his body fulls.
