Title: Tarnished Gold
Author: Radiant Sea Serpent
Rating: Pg-13
Genre: Angst/Drama
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone, not even Jeirdon who belongs to a friend.
Summery: Jander Sunstar learns the price of disobeying his master, Cassiar.
Author's Note: ok well I have to say this, this takes place when Jander had just barely become a vamp so he's not nearly as jaded as he was in all his stories...yet anyway.

Jeirdon suddenly grinned and started to chuckle.
The Vampire was confused, what was so damn amusing?
Jeirdon crossed his arms over his chest, "I knew you could do it." He said cheerily.
Jander blinked looking with slight astonishment at the chain still hanging from his wrist a piece of the rock wall still attached to the end.
Jander continued to stare at the chain in surprise until Jeirdon, unable to help himself, burst out laughing. Jander glared at him.
"I'm sorry." Jeridon gasped, "You should have seen your face."
Jander forced himself to swallow his vampiric urges, "Don't ever do that again, Jeirdon." He growled.
Jeirdon continued to chuckle and Jander, eyes narrowed, turned and walked out of the hall.
Jeirdon's laughter ceased, "Jander? You wouldn't leave me.would you?"
His answer came in the form of a small ring of keys that clattered at his feet.
"Hurry and free yourself, and be silent, the sun has gone below the horizon." Jander said from the shadows.
Jeirdon nodded as he picked up the keys fumbling with them to open the locks on his manacles. When he was finally free he moved as silently as possible into the shadows beside Jander, resting his injured hand against the elf's shoulder. Jander flinched away from his touch grimacing at the sight of Jeirdon's blood stained hand. He quickly tore a strip of cloth from his cloak and handed it to him, "Cover your wound."
Jeirdon did so but grinned, "What? Squeamish?" he asked.
"Hardly, but an open wound isn't the best thing to have while walking through a den of waking vampires, hm?" Jander responded.
Jeirdon blinked, "I see your point." He conceded, covering the cuts better. "There all ready, now lets get the hell out of here!" he said before going out ahead of Jander and silently running across the main cavern towards the exit.
Jander hesitated a long moment before following, wondering if he was doing the right thing by leaving.
The two raced out into the cold night. Jeirdon paused a moment before moving into the surrounding forest, Jander following close behind. "Come on, my companions would not have gone far. They wouldn't give up on me that easy." Jeirdon said encouragingly as he ran ahead.
Jander gave the cave behind them a concerned glance. He hoped he was doing the right thing. He had a terrible feeling that he was being set up.
Why would Cassiar be so foolish as to chain him up with chains he could so easily break?
