(Oh well, he can eat her anyway. I don't really care. Jagger will never know. I mean, look at the chaos in Crimson. XD)
Fey sighed, "I can stay with you if you want me to. Arsen told me what to do when he needed something done.
"And I imagine we can open a window. Arsen wont care with where he's at. I've never worried about the scent, it never bothered me."
She pushed the door open. There was a bed in the center of the room, a bookshelf and dresser side-by-side, and a large window occuping the far wall with closed blinds.
"Here," She walked past him, to the large window and opened the blinds, "I see why he never opened it..."
The window over looked part of the courtyard/rose garden below. There was a balcony with a beach-chair recliner outside and some kind of potted plant.
"He mustn't've been out here since Saiya left..." Fey muttered, watching to cobweds on the chair and the overgrowth of the plant.

OOC: Well.. not that permission isn't a spoiler or anything....
BIC:
Justin watched the emotions that crossed her face, waiting for a hint of jealously, or even pride. Instead there had been only sadness. He hadn't really expected anything, but he also had not wanted to see such reaction. It would not have sat well with him.
He didn't ponder why.
Instead, he glanced around, his eyes locking onto the dresser. He considered trying to open it himself, but picturing the awkwardness, instead looked pointedly from Fey to the dresser and back again. Could you find me something to wear? Even a pair of boxers will suffice. He thought about the cold stone floors and his bare feet. Maybe some socks.
His mind wandered to the girl in the hall as his stomach growled. Those brown eyes had looked deliciously like deer.
How well does Jagger seem to like that girl?

(XDXDXD Sorry?)
"Oh right," Fey turned and put on her best fake smile for him before walking to the dresser and pulling out some clothes for him, "Here you go.
"And that girl, Jagger only uses to feed off of. He doesn't notice her at all."
She laid out a black t-shirt and jeans on the bed--and the boxes and socks per request.
"Now, I have to go eat to. Don't cause too much trouble. Bring her up here if you're going to eat. And don't make too much of a mess--I'd have to clean it up," As she walked by she patted his head, "Think you can handle that?"

OOC: A fake smile? He piss her off? lol
BIC:
Justin wasn't sure whether to bite her or wag his tail. He felt like a pet, told to stay and be good while mommy was away.
He stayed silent, just watching her as she left. When the door closed behind her he changed. He looked at his rib cage, running his fingertips over the new scar that had formed. The edges were irregular and raised; his body had had trouble healing it. He sighed and dragged his hand through his hair.
He thought about Fey and cursed. He wasn't just some tame wolf.
He swore again and stalked over to the clothes she'd laid out. He pulled on the boxers and jeans, then sat on the edge of the bed to pull on the socks. He sat there a moment, his elbows resting on his thighs, his hands hanging between his knees. He was getting too old for this bullshit.
A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts. He didn't know who was there, the scent was unfamiliar, so he said nothing. Rather, he stood and stepped to beside the door, poised.
As it opened slowly, and the scent that flowed through stronger was that that had tantalized him in the hall below. He grabbed the girl as she stepped further into the room, covering her mouth with his hand.
"Little lamb, you should have stayed with the flock." He breathed against the top of her head. She was petite, and full figured, smelling of thyme. "We wolves love lamb."

(She was distracted. Leave her alone. XD)
Fey quietly made her way down the halls of the Hunter-Reo building. She wanted to see something.
She remembered the room that Clant and Arsen had brought her to--to bind the wolf in her. And she wanted to find it.
It wasn't the first time she looked. About once a month she went on the same trek, looking for it. Each time, Arsen was standing in her way. This time there was no Arsen, or Clant for that matter. And Shadow wouldn't stop her either--she was positive. And the other maids would leave her to her own.
Feyverent smiled a little.
Besides, she could always say that she wanted to get something to eat.

((ooc| Gah, I'm not entirely sure how to get Luciard into the plot/RP. Tis proving to be rather hard...))
Bic|
Looking around he searched the emptiness. He could see no one, hear no one, and feel no one. But something was strong enough to smell. The scent of others was strong in this area. They were in one of the surrounding buildings for sure, but which one? Puzzled and not knowing were to start he lent on a lamp post, his hands retreating into his pockets.
A sigh escaped Luciards chest. "Oh how the mighty have fallen. Why have you left me alone my lord?" He spoke to no one or nothing in particular but simply stared into space blankly.

"Clant," Shadow barked, dragging the small boy out of his thoughts, "I need you to go to the castle for me."
"W-What?!" The small boy blanched.
"There's a book in the library there that has the remedy for this. I want you to find it for me."
"Why me?" Clant whined.
"Fey has company and I have to watch Jagger. Stop complainging," Shadow sighed, "Its called Nightshade, its full of remedies. Go find it."
"Y-Yes, Shadow," Clant said timidly and backed out of the door.
He ran quickly down the Halls of the Hunter-Reo building as Fey had done seconds before. It wasn't long before he crossed the crumbling, ivy-covered courtyard out in front of the building.
"Nightshade," Clant muttered, "I must remember it."

The girl sighed and leaned into him. He was so surprised he stepped back from her.
"And the lion laid with the lamb." She purred the words as she turned to look at him, taking in his lack of shirt in one assured smile. She moved toward him. He moved back.
"Well, never had the lunch turn on me before." He stood back and regarded her. She in turn smiled and stepped toward him.
"I saw you looking at m." She shrugged, her shoulders bared by a grecian styled dress, the folds of the fabric gauzy, merely shadowing her body. "I assumed you wanted me."
His brow quirked. "Think you're that irresistible?"
She shrugged again. "We've had wolves in here before, they're always..." He fluttered her eyes at him, her scent filling the air with pheromones, "ravenous." She giggled and began backing toward the bed.
He considered his options. Fey had said she was unimportant, that Jagger didn't really care about her....
He smiled and bean advancing towards her.
"There hasn't been a wolf like me before." He met her as she laid back on the bed, giggling, her breathing becoming faster, her tongue darting out to wet her lips.
He was on her before she could make a sound.

Just as Luciard began to cut across the courtyard of one place he spotted a figure running. A smug grin spread across his face. Perhaps he could get answers.
"Excuse me! Young sir! Excuse me!" He called out. He couldn't see who he was talking to exactly but at least he had someone in which to talk to.

Fey had started to sniff the air as she ventured further undergrund. Something didn't smell right. It was decaying flash..? And hunger...? It was confusing.
The halls underground were dark and damp.
Then she saw something she didn't want to see--blood red eyes. Not to mention a chorus of hissing. Fey started backing up the steps, shaking.
"ooh, look," The voice hissed. It was old and crackly from dissuse, "A shhhhh-nack."
Teeth gleamed in the darkness, causing Fey to scream--the sound mixed in with a howl.
~~~~~
Clant jumped at the sound of Luciard's voice.
"I-I'm sorry... I have to go find a book for a friend," He muttered nervously.
~~~~~~
Shadow jumped at the sound of the scream, "Oh shit. What'd she do?"
He was growling and burst through Jagger's door in the shape of a large black wolf, which startled most of the maids as he ran past. Shadow, as a wolf, was big enough for three humans to ride comfortably on his back. The fact that he was 518 helped his size a bit.

Seeing he had startled the fellow Luciard sighed, "Forgive me. I don't exactly know were I am. If you're not too busy, perhaps you could... Help me? Of course you can always fetch your book first." He smiled, not sure if his smile could be seen though.

Justin was contently licking the blood off his forearm when he heard the scream ring out.
Fey.
He didn't change, he could probably move easier this way. He pulled on his vampire blood, grabbing at the speed, and following her scent. He was nearly on top of her before he smelled Shadow coming closer.
OOC: ... ooooooooooo.... suspense! And a short post lol damnit..

"Uhm... The books really important... But, I think I can spare a minute," Clant muttered, fidgiting a bit.
~~~~~
Shadow had leapt over Fey's head when the creature had grabbed her and triped her, causing her to slip down the stairs a bit.
Shadow snarled, standing between her and the creature. Fey took the chance to crawl up the stairs a bit, nearly slipping on the damp stones. Shadow kept his hackles raised, pacing back and forth on the small step.
Even as a wolf, he had no eyes.

Justin nearly ran over Fey as he sped down the stairs. He stopped abruptly, jarring his insides, and knelt beside her, feeling over her face and arms with his hands.
"Are you alright? Did it hurt you?" Concern was written across every feature and printed in the way his hands slightly shook. "Anything missing?" He dragged his eyes from her and looked down to where he could hear Shadow pacing. "Everything alright?" He called down into the darkness, his eyes picking at the movement, but unable to see clearly without the aid of a bit of light. "Want me to come down there?" He moved down a step then stopped, torn between leaving Fey and finding the danger.

Fey nodded, shakily, "I-I'm fine. J-Just wandered too far."
'Its just some vermin,' Shadow snarled, his lip curling back, 'I got it.'
The creature hissed, the sound echoing through the stairwell.
'And a foul smelling one at that,' His nose wrinkled a bit and he took a step forward, 'Now get. I have no intentions of fighting.'
The creature hissed again, and Fey covered her ears. The demonic sound reverbrated around them as it slunk back down the stairs. Shadow stepped back to them, sniffing Fey.
'Your bruised rib is even worse now, pup,' He sighed. It could be heard that he was rolling his eyes. He snuffled her hair, blowing it over her face, like a mother would do to its pup. Fey laughed a little, before shaking again, 'Lets get her upstairs.'

Justin nodded tersely before scooping Fey up in his arms.
"What was that?" his face was stoic now as he asked, any emotion gone in a trace. His eyes darting here and there, watching for danger. He was running on a little bit of a high from his rendevous. He was heading back to Arsen's room, unsure of where else he could take her. It was now a bit of a mess, but hey, that was how he was. Time he made sure that was known.
The bed wouldn't be soaked, but it wouldn't be immaculate either. He had left the corpse in relatively good shape, but he had been rough. A sudden series of changes and the wolf was a little closer to the surface than it used to be. At least her head was still attached... sort of.

'Just an aged vampire. That happens from time to time. Just not with Fey. She's not supossed to come down here,' Sahdow walked close to Justin.
Fey ducked her head against Justin's chest, avaioding Shadow's watching face.
'Anyway, its gone now. It wont come back. They stay further underground than where you, Fey, and Arsen went. Those don't like the sunlight and venture to the suface rarely. Some still give them food and thats why they stay,' His shoulders rolled in a shrug and walked into the above ground halls, 'Now, I must return to Jagger's den. Can you keep Fey in Arsen's room? I'm not blaming you at all, I just don't want to have to deal with that again. I'm not as young as I once was.'

Justin grimly shook his head. "Sure. I'll keep her under lock and key."
He paused to watch as Shadow headed down another hall, before continuing on the Arsen's room.
"Were you trying to get yourself killed? Or could you just not stand being around me?" He had reached the door to Arsen's room, it having been left open in his haste to get to her. He wasn't sure he wanted her to see what he had done, but then again, she was wolf. She should understand.
Of course he wasn't sure if she knew what it was like to have reformed that many times in such a short period, the drain on his system it caused, and the hunger it created. If she didn't, it was time for her to find out.
He could see some of the blood pooled on the floor from here.

Fey shook her head.
"Thats not it, Justin. I was looking for something," She muttered, "I remember the room where Arsen and Clant had brought me and sealed the wolf. Its down there--I know it. Arsen just wont let me down there. And probably for that reason."
Fey huffed, "You didn't create too much of a mess in there, did you? I don't want to have to clean it up."
(I think thats the first time she's said his name....)

OOC: No, she said it before she knew it, didn't she? lol
BIC:
Before crossing the threshold he gently put her down, careful to let her catch her balance.
"How important is it for you to find this room? What do you hope to achieve?" He stood before her, careful to keep his gaze on her and not the room behind her. The blood seemed awfully dark to him now, not the enticing red it had been minutes earlier. Her gaze seemed to wander, so he brought her chin up with his fingertip to look into her eyes. "Do you really want to go back there? I will take you, if you want me to."
He knew he could handle himself and protect her. He was a little weak still, but the brown eyed girl had helped to restore some of his strength. He would get stronger as his body processed more of the blood; if he fed again he would be back to top form in no time. He couldn't be killed, as far as he knew; the poison had been a close call, but not successful. The bullet had been more of a nuisance than and near-death experience -- worst case scenario, he get himself killed, but her out alive.
He could deal with those odds.

(Did she....?)
"All I know is that room is where they did something to me. And I'm sure its down there," Fey muttered, "I remember that they were looking at a book and chanting something when they sealed the wolf."
She sighed and ran a hand through her hair before nervously playing with her skirt, "I-I just want to know that its real and that I didn't make it up. That I haven't been using it as an excuse for 14 years."
Fey dropped her eyes and looked away, looking at the wall behind him instead.

BIC:
"Right." He grabbed her hand and began to gently tug her back towards the stairs. "Down we go then." He didn't give her much choice, using his greater body mass to propel them downward.
"Do you happen to know if there are many more of those... vampires left down there? What I should expect from them?" He didn't glance back at her, worried he might see some sign of fear or disgust at his actions; something like that and he would turn around without a word of protest. "I'd like to have some sort of idea on how to keep you from being munched." He could afford to loose some blood, she couldn't.
It didn't occur to him until they were almost half-way there that the black t-shirt he'd been intending to wear was trapped under what was left to the the doe-eyed girl.

(Oh, wow... I forgot.....)
Fey followed after him quietly, watching the floor.
"I don't know how many more they'll be. I've never been down there before," She muttered, "I just know its cold, and dark, and damp. Thats all I can tell you about it--sorry."
She fiddled with her hair with her free hand.
"You don't have to do this--you really don't," She said, barely more than a whisper.

He stopped. Turned and looked at her.
"Do you want me to? Do you want me to turn around, take you back upstairs and worry that one day you'll try this again and I won't be here to back you up?" He brushed a strand of hair away from her face. "Or do you want to find out what's down there with one kickass bodyguard?" He smiled, allowing his fangs to elongate, his eyes fading to red. "I'll do whichever you want, but you have to make the decision." He waited for her answer, standing immobile two steps below her, nearly at eye level.

Fey blushed and giggled a little.
"Honestly, I don't know how much longer I'll be here. Arsen's probably left Crimson by now. (Unless He was imprisoned with Gwen and company....) And I was his maid.... I may have to leave too...."
(Sorry, must move to phone!)

OOC: He could have been imprisoned, that would make it much easier....
BIC:
"Hey, to me that means you could do this with no repercussions from the people here if you're soon to be out of their jurisdiction. However long you are left here, could mean you'll have less time to think this over; or come back if you decided we should leave. Arsen seems to have left you to your own devises, why not take that and run with it?" Justin smiled at her, but waited for a proper answer.

''I suposse. I'm not even sure if its down there though. I'm just drawn there. I don't want you to get hurt because of me again.
''But...
''I haven't been a wolf in so long... I've forgotten what it feels like...'' Fey muttered.

He flinched at her comment. To him, even though he wasn't born this way, he could no longer image not being Wolf. It was too much a part of his soul now; the vampire in him would always remain foreign, it just did not feel natural, but the wolf...
"Right then," he tugged on her hand and began leading her back down. "Good enough answer for me." He scented the air as they descended, careful to be wary of the creatures that apparently lived down here. He wasn't too concerned, since he didn't expect them to be in too good a shape if a blind wolf had scared them off.
Shadow may have some great legend surrounding him, but he still must have weaknesses.
"What caused Shadow to become blind? He wasn't born that way, was he?" She seemed a little stiff, and she smelled anxious. He wanted her to relax; everything was going to be fine. He wasn't scared, therefore she needn't be.
[edit: Bwuhahaha I wanted a ninth page....]
