Well... I didn't get three comments...
Meh, two is close enough, right?
But, please people, COMMENT THIS TIME!!! Even if it's just a "good" or "bad" or even an "I like cheese", please, comment!!!
Vlad ran for what seemed like hours. He didn't seem to get tired, though. He amazed Kaya.
The forest steadily became lighter. Before long, Kaya could see the trees and bushes. Vlad, noticing this, stopped and let her down.
Kaya took a step away from the dark elf. He didn't look back at her. She tucked her hair behind her head and pulled up the hood of her cloak again. She didn't want him to see... He'd send her away for good...
"Take that ridiculous thing off of your head," said Vlad, none too kindly. "I know what you are. I won't critisize you for it. You don't need to hide from me."
Kaya looked away from him. "It's not just you I'm hiding from..." she whispered. Nevertheless, she complied.
The dark velvet hood fell off her head, allowing her hair to flow in front of her face. The deep, earth-brown strands blew in front of her eyes, tickling her face. Yet it was different from a normal wood elf's head of beautifully brown hair.
About a hand's breadth from the end of the strands of hair, they naturally flowed from a brown colour to a blond- almost white- hue. Her ears, though as sharply pointed as a wood elf's, curved gracefully to the tip. Her eyes, a pale blue, were tinted with brown. The complexion of her face was pale, almost a white colour.
Vlad smiled. "Doesn't that feel better?"
Kaya was ashamed. Not of her heritage, but of herself for hiding the fact that she was a half. Half a wood elf, half a high elf. Her skills in the trees were natural, graceful, yet her pride and warrior skills were that of her high elf decent.
"I had thought you were a little odd," said Vlad, beginning to walk again. "You were graceful in the trees, yet you were cocky and sure of yourself. Wood elves don't have that particular quality."
Kaya trailed behind Vlad. He was very good at hiding his revulsion. Her heritage was the reason that she lived so far away from the elven cities in the first place. Half elves were almost as bad as ogres and orcs themselves. They were seen as monsters, creatures to fear and shun.
The sky was very dark now. It was almost sunset. Kaya had never seen a sunset, and she thought that she never would. The treetops grew too high for her to see the supposed magnificent colours the sun made as it dissapeared on the horizon.
"Maybe... we should stop. We won't get much travelling done in the dark." The truth was, Kaya just wanted to stop. She didn't want to travel anymore, expecially after that encounter with the "scavens". Her heart was still pounding.
Vlad looked back at her. He knew that she couldn't go much farther. He had, after all, ripped her out of her normal, peaceful life and brought her into this war. The least he could do was let her sleep. "Alright."

I liked the way you describes these two characters. They come alive in my imagination. Excellent imagery.
