(Slight NSFW warning) Tracey had always heard of Tartalgia, the small forest town not far from where she lived. But it wasn’t until her younger sister began dating that strange cat man Aaron did she finally decide to visit. Beth told her about the strange gifted people there, and how each of the Tartalgia brothers had a different super power. Tracey tried explaining how she was still trying to get used to Aaron and his unusual-ness. The last thing she wants is more super freaks. “Just trust me big sis, they are awesome. I met this boy named Hail, he’s seventeen like me. He’s so sweet! He’s shy, but once you get him talking he is the nicest person I’ve ever met. You might like him.” “Beth” Tracey sighed, Stephan sleeping soundly on her lap. “Why exactly do you want me to visit this dang town exactly?” “What do you mean?” Beth chuckled nervously, “I just think you might have fun.” “Are you trying to pair me up with one of those super powered guys? You know I have enough to deal with with these two boys, I don’t have time to date and stuff. You know this.” “Listen, me and Aaron will baby sit for you while you go okay? Just go, and try and have fun please. For me?” “Oh no! Don’t you ‘for me’ me!” Beth looked up to her big sister, her lips pouting, her eyes wide and slowly producing tears. Tracey growled lowly to herself. “I can’t believe you are using the face on me. You know I can’t fight the face. Fine. I’ll go” “Yes!” Beth laughed “I win” “Yah yah, but don’t tell Liz I went okay? I know she doesn’t like that town. She doesn’t trust all theses super powered people. “ Tracey stood to her feet, cradling the sleeping Stephan in her arms. “Let me take him to bed so I can pack. If you want you and Aaron can stay here while I’m away” “Oh yes, we want” Beth quickly replied. Tracey rolled her eyes and carried her son away. … Tartalgia Square, the center of the small town. Tracey walked down the stone sidewalk, breathing in the fresh mountain air. Aaron had booked her a room already in the town's best hotel, run by the mayor’s two children, Kujo and Zana. As Tracey approached the hotel, she noticed how large it was, standing three stories tall, the Tudor mansion of a hotel had a large sign across its front face marked “Tartalgia Inn, welcoming all” She smiled and stepped inside. Behind the counter stood Kujo Tartalgia. His hair was a deep shade of brown, matching his dark brown eyes. His expression was serious, yet friendly despite a smile. He was dressed in a simple black denim jacket, open over a red flannel shirt and dark blue jeans. “Hey, you must be Tracey right? Aaron let me know you were coming. “ Kujo smiled slightly “don’t you have any bags?” “Just my backpack here.” Tracey dropped her bag down with a plop onto the floor. Kujo shrugged “alright, there is a store down the road if you need anything I guess. Come, let me show you to your room. “ Kujo stepped out from behind the counter, key in hand. He reached down and picked up Tracey’s backpack and began walking down the hallway. “You are on the third floor, your room has the best view of Tartalgia and the surrounding forest. “ The two waited outside the elevator as it reached their level. As the door opened, Tracey could see someone inside. “Hey Hail” Kujo remarked. Hail Tartalgia was thin, and only reached Tracey’s chest in height. His hair was icey white, his eyes a cold blue. He dressed in a large blue jacket with a fur filled hood. Hail couldn't help but stare at Tracey, she was wearing a bit more body revealing clothes this time, shorts, low cut v neck shirt, her hair still covering her left eye. He stood speechless before her, cold vapor coming off of him. “Uhh...Hail?” Kujo waved his hand in front of his younger brother. “You there little bro?” Hail shook his head quickly “h-huh? O-Oh! H-h-hi….I’m Hail Tartalgia…” Tracey smiled, and thought to herself “My god he is adorable.” “Hi Hail, I’m Tracey Wright.” Tracey smiled, stepping into the elevator and standing next to him.” “Hail, do me a favor and show Miss Wright to her room please?” Kujo tossed Hail the bedroom keys with a sly wink. Hail caught the keys, “S-sure big bro…” Tracey chuckled softly to herself, pushing the 3rd floor button on the elevator. As the door closes, Hail turns and faces her. “Miss Wright?” “You can call me Tracey, it's fine Hail.” Tracey smiled, facing him as well. “T-Tracey….y-you are….v-very pretty….” Tracey’s cheeks slowly flushed pink. “Thank you Hail...that was very sweet of you.” Hail opened his mouth to say something more, but the opening of the elevator doors with a ding interrupted him. “O-oh, we’re h-here.” Hail quickly walked out of the elevator. Tracey picked up her bag and followed. “Y-you are room 315.” Hail approached her door and unlocked it for her. “Thank you Hail” Tracey smiled, leaning down she softly places a kiss on his cheek. Hail’s cheeks quickly turn bright red, the ground around him instantly freezing. “Y-your key” Hail reaches his hand out, handing her the key to the room. She takes the key in her hand. “What is there to do for fun around here Hail?” “T-there is a private hot tub behind the hotel, just take the elevator down to the first floor, and follow the hallway to the left all the way outside. Y-you’ll find a path, f-follow it to the hot tub. It’s surrounded b-by trees so n-no one can s-see you” She smiled. “Sounds nice. I’ll go check that out later. “ Hail fidgeted slightly on his feet. “Miss Tracey?” Tracey raised her eyebrow “Yah?” Hail motioned for her to lean down to his level. She furrowed her brow before doing so. As soon as she did, Hail quickly placed a kiss upon her lips. Her eyes widened, but before she could react further he left, quickly walking away. … Tracey followed his directions and took the path all the way out the hotel and to the hot tub. As she entered the clearing she noticed Hail was already in the hot tub. His eyes were closed, he had not heard her approach. The bubbles made it impossible for her to tell if he was still wearing shorts or not. She shrugged and undressed fully, if it was just the two of them alone why should she care. With a smile she slipped into the tub. Hail’s eyes slowly opened, then quickly widened. “M-miss Tracey! Y-you’re naked! I-I'm naked!” Tracey chuckled, placing a hand on his shoulder as she moved to sit next to him. “It’s okay, you said it yourself, no one can see us here right?” He blushed deeply, the water around him distinctly cooler. “Y-yah.” “Hail, why do you think I am beautiful? Is it my breasts?” “N-no! Your face!” She blushed herself, her eyes widened. “Not my breasts?” He nodded no. “Y-your face was the first thing I noticed. Y-you are beautiful...a-and I...I love you…” “Is that why you kissed me?” “I wish I would have kissed you l-longer…” Tracey smiled, quickly pulling Hail onto her lap and passionately kissing him, her hands pressing him firmly against her. Though surprised, like instinct Hail returned the kiss, more than happy to be pressed against her. Hours passed as the two stayed together in the hot tub, the kissing growing, eventually shifting into love making. Through it all she held onto him tightly, his ice cold touch strangely arousing her, making her crave him more and more. “T-Tracey…”Hail pulled away from the kiss, “I...I want to be with you...w-will you...will you go out with me?” Tracey rolled her eyes “Of course I will. Hail….I think I love you.” Hail smiled brightly, and hugged her tightly. She smiled, holding him close. “You were right Beth...he’s adorable” she said quietly to herself.
