Kette's eyes widened in shock suddenly realizing the situation he was in. "********!" He shoved the woman to the floor scrambling after Myfi. "Myfi wait!" He raced after her only to slam into the door to her room. He muttered frantic curses trying to get the door open. "Myfi..." He sunk to the floor slamming his fist into marble floor.

Sylryl smiled, "Come on, lets get you laid down..." She took his hand to escourt him up to his room.

[Rikku_Feline]

Myfi slipped off the uncomfortable dress, leaving her in her slips. She slipped beneath the covers of the bed, whimpering softly into her pillow. The selkie pulled the sheets over her head, attempting to drown out the knocking on the door. She knew Sylryl would come in eventually, but she had a key.

Casticus nodded as she laced her fingers between his, following her. He smiled softly, using his free hand to softly play with a tendril of her long, navy hair.

[DemonicFox99]

"s**t..." Giving up, the demon slid to his hands and knees, hating himself. The over-whelming fact of just how bad he had ******** up was sobering him up QUICKLY.

The elf lead him to his and Kette's room sitting him down on the bed. "How are you feeling?"

[Rikku_Feline]

Myfi closed her eyes, curling up under her sheets and attempting to fall into a restless sleep. The selkie could feel a tightness in her chest as she tried to rest.

"Better. Much better," he said with a smile. His usually pained grey-blue eyes were completely calm, almost as if intoxicated.

Orchid looked up at the other vampire, whispering a small "Thank you."

[DemonicFox99]

The night passed slowly, the mentally unstable demon laying pathetically on the ornate rug that sprawled the hallway floors. Kette refused to leave the doorway hoping he could catch her as she exited the next morning.

----

Sunlight beamed through the panes of the guests windows warming the rooms and casting a soft pink glow about the rooms. Sylryl was already awake, dressed in her traveling clothes and sitting on the stone railing of the balcony watching the sun rise.

----

Klaus stretched while yawning before laying back beside Orchid watching her sleep. He hadn't left her side all night.

[Rikku_Feline]

Myfi slowly stumbled to her door, tiredly. She rubbed her eyes, her hair hanging in her face, and her eyes tired. She wore a simple white dress and sandals, her small shell ocarina around her neck. She pushed open her door wearily and suddenly felt her foot connect with something in her doorway. She squealed slightly, suddenly finding herself toppling forward, catching herself just before she hit the ground.

---

Casticus smiled catching sight of the elf, leaning up against the doorframe. "Don't fall," he said softly.

---

Orchid rolled over, her eyes cracking open slightly. The vampiress smiled, looking into the face of the wine-haired one. Her gold hair was splayed around her face and she had removed her ornate dress. "Goodmorning..." she whispered.

[DemonicFox99]

Kette groaned in his sleep but didn't awaken. The demon remained asleep, his cheeks showing faint trails of tears.

--

Sylryl didn't look away from the landscape, her navy hair tossing in the slight breeze. "I won't." She tilted her hypnotic eyes in his direction.

--

"Good morning." Klaus smiled. "How are you feeling?"

[Rikku_Feline]

Myfi looked down at the demon, a pang of sadness hitting her. She sighed, looking away from him and walking slowly downstairs. She held her cloak tightly in her arms as a comfort almost.

---

Casticus returned her gaze, a peace spreading over him. The oranges and purples of the early morning sun playing on his pale skin. His dark green hair swayed in the light breeze.

---

"Good," she whispered, snuggling up under the cover. "What about you...?"

[DemonicFox99]

The pathetic lump only curled tighter around himself and continued to sleep.

--

The dark elf tilted her head at him watching his every little movement.

--

The vampire nodded, rubbing his eyes to help them adjust to the morning light.

[Rikku_Feline]

The selkie walked a little faster before hearing small whispers and sounds coming from behind a pair of stained glass doors. She pushed them open gently, seeing the elf and the kelpie on the other side.

Casticus turned in surprise to see the little seal girl, standing up straight. "Myfi," he said, surprised, "What are you doing up?"

"I um-" she said, ringing her hands and looking at the ground, "couldn't sleep. S-so I just got up a little early. Are we leaving soon?" Casticus shot a confued look at Sylryl before looking back ant Myfi, who was still avoiding eye contact. Something was wrong.

--

Orchid stretched, pushing the covers off of her upper torso. She frowned, feeling the wind rush out of her, realizing that she had slept in her corset. She quickly reached back to yank the strings undone, loosening it significantly. "Better..." shesaid breathing a sigh of relief before laughing softly.

[DemonicFox99]

The vampire giggled softly at her and burrowed his face into the corner of her shoulder, snuggling up as close as he could to her being about as adorable as a kitten wrapped in pink fluff. His eyes drifted shut as he dosed in and out of sleep.

---

Sylryl watched her for a moment, the breeze tossing her navy hair somberly. She nodded, "We shall leave soon, child." She spoke melodically, "Where is that demon of yours? Still asleep?" She knew good and well that it was him that was bothering her but did not hint to it for the sake of Casticus starting an unnecessary brawl.

[Rikku_Feline]

Orchid froze for a moment before forcing back a blush and forcing out a laugh. "You're being awfully affectionate today, eh?" she said, reaching her arm back at an awkward angle to scratch his head lightly.

--

Myfi looked down, hearing Sylryl's question, he silvery locks falling in her eyes. "I do not know where he is..." She put her arms around her self, muttering only audible in her ears, "And he is not mine..."

[DemonicFox99]

Klaus nodded feeling his muscles relax dramatically and his eyes droop tightly shut. He sighed quietly wanting to nod back off to sleep.

--

The elf nodded gracefully, "Very well. Pack your things, we depart shortly."

[Rikku_Feline]

Myfi turned with a nod, not looking back at either one of them. She slowly walked down the hallway, keeping her eyes away from the demon on the floor, and entered her room. The selkie quickly gathered her things before returning to the others, biting her lip and pressing her fingernails so hard into her palms she nearly broke the skin as she stepped back over the broken fire demon.

--

Orchid gently pet his head before whispering, "The others are probably already up. Don't you want to wish them a safe trip?"

[DemonicFox99]

Sylryl stood to glide past Casticus, locks billowing behind her, to go find the lump of a being. She found him curled into a ball on the floor in front of Myfi's doorway. She knelt down brushing the hair away from his face and touching his thoughts ever so gently.

He opened is sad ruby eyes too look up at her pathetically. "Its not polite to pry."

She didn't smile. "You cling to her memory too much. It keeps you from seeing whats in front of you."

Kette sat up rubbing his temples, "Go away..." He muttered, more pleading than commanding. She obliged and left him. Kette felt the want to be with some one who cared enough about him to not be so blunt. He stood up slowly, head aching from the awful night, he drug his feet as he walked to his friend's door leaning his forehead against it and tapping softly on the frame. "Klaus?"

--

Klaus whined clinging to her not wanting at all to get out of bed, but jerked his head up upon hearing Kette's tiny whisper.
