Katarina shook her head, "I don't really know, but it's like vials and stuff meant to counteract our powers. That's all I know about them." she answered, keeping her silver eyes trained on him as he began to talk to the cat.
The cat could easily see that there was still two of the guards waiting exactly where they were the last time Ree had seen them. The other guards continued to patrol. In the mansion, everything appeared normal and as Katarina said, there being about the right number of people. There was someone moving back to servant house but otherwise, all was usual.
The moment that Ree began to move back to the open area, Katarina panicked. "Stop! Why aren't you listening to me?!" she demanded, confused and angry. "You aren't going to find your answers in there. And I swear if you tell her, you're only going to kill us all. If there is anything that you actually take to heart in all this, is that you won't make it off this island alive if she finds out." Katarina spoke in a low, almost aggressive voice as she gave up on trying to stop him. "Thank you for releasing me. Good luck." she muttered before running up the stairs to leave.
The dread was extraordinarily thick within this room as his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, a large room that had wooden flooring that was stained red with old blood. It looked like some room to perform rituals, holders for incense and paper dolls and odd relics throughout the room. There was long altar in the center that held a body that wasn't moving or breathing. A woman in a white-collared black dress with long black hair and remnants of burns on her legs but was now only discoloration rather than full on wounds. Within her now pale body was a flickering soul that dimmed and glowed like a fire that struggled to stay lit. The stench of old blood mixed with the smell of new blood that hung heavy in the air. On the side table was an empty golden chalice and an ornate dagger that both looked recently used.
He did listened but everything she said only piqued his curiosity even if he was split and damaged that was still somewhat whole. Not everything he was doing was for answer on Ashral, some was to find weapons that were to disturbing to actually be considered a weapon. Except now he could see why the dread piled here so heavily and as Katarina ran he wondered which she she was talking of Carmelia or Vida. Likely Vida, she would do something reckless that going form what he saw will put them all in jeopardy. How did a full city get reduce down to only a handful of true race? Is that was what Camilia was trying to remedy by going after the souls.
Moving forward he stared at Rika without a flicker of emotion while the cat behind him mewed in pain. "Zephyr..." He said the word with disgust "Think you can try?" He said without looking back, moving to stare at the chalice and the dagger but touched neither.
Slowly the cat moved inside, wings trembling as it floated up then phase as it moved its head toward the flickering spirit inside and tried to bite down and grab it to pull it out.

The moment the cat bit down on the soul, it cracked further, threatening to break. The body itself began to move, but not much, her face grimaced and she made a noise of pain. Her eyes opened slowly, a deep crimson red instead of gold, not even aware of the cat as she weakly reached out for Ree but falling short. "...help.. me..." she strained as she focused on his face, her hand searching the air to try to find its place against it. "...please..." she begged softly, tears in her eyes as she winced again, her breathing shallow and labored.
Ree jerked back shifting into a ready position as he stared at her,moving then frowned. Blinking the cat turned black as Ree looked pained, fear making his wings shiver at he stared at her with a look of pain as he moved closer. He should have gone back, he shouldn't have fallen asleep. "....How?" He said quietly moving closer again and letting her touch his face since that was what she wanted to do that day.
The black winged cat let go of the soul and pulled back only to turn and growl at him but he ignored it.

Her pained breathing still audible as he moved closer and he let her touch his face, a soft smile gracing her lips. "...help.. me...." she repeated before sliding her hand up behind his neck to try to sit up, but only pulling him closer. In a mere second she had brushed back his hair enough to lean in, fangs extending to bite into his neck deeply. Her other hand reaching to slide behind him, holding him closer, pinning him to her, reaching her arms around him completely even enveloping his wings, reluctant to let him go now that she had him in her grasp. She drank from his blood without thought, completely overtaken with hunger and an insatiable thirst from the smell of blood. Her hair slowly began to turn a pristine white from the roots downward to the tips with every drop of blood she consumed.
Ree leaned in slightly thinking she wanted a hug so he was not at all prepared for the bite on his his neck that made him yelp and start struggling much to late. A moment later he phased through her as the cat lash its tail and lunged phasing th moment Ree solidified to bite and rip at the spirit it could see.

The woman leaned too far forward as Ree phased away from her, falling to the floor below the alter, unable to even stand. The cat lunged for her spirit and bit down, cracking it further and she screamed out in pain. Ripping back her soul cracked down the middle, splintering throughout and she looked up to Ree, tears running down her face, a genuine but sad smile on her blood-stained lips. "...thank... you..." she forced out before her spirit completely shattered and the remnants flickered like tiny embers carried by absent winds and disappeared. The body collapsed to the floor completely and ceased to move, no spirit remained as the body remained as a husk of a person just like the others in the cells. It lingered for a few moments before turning to ashes, perfect in it's form without wind to disturb or move it.
Ree stared back at her in horror as blood continued to drip from his neck. One hand reached up to push against the bleeding as he looked for a while out until she screamed, said her thanks and finally...died. A shiver ran through him as he tried to understand....she was human and there were no vampires here?. How then? He thought she was dead....or a zombie like Ashral....but then the thank you....
The cat leaped back landing into the body and moving out of the way before solidifying again. It looked toward Ree as it narrowed its eyes at him, it's weakness. //wake up. Start healing before we bleed to death!// he hissed mentally as it stared at the body shaped dust with narrowed eyes. Dangerous, she was dangerous not only to true or meta races but her own as well..or was she one of those purest? Or a vampire in hiding? He had yet to see her and that might be a good thing.
Ree starred healing, staring at the body still as he shook wanting to almost throw up but instead hunched over hugging himself with one hand to his neck." We should leave ...not stay. Not for this " he muttered earning a blank stare from the cat.
//Ashral is one of own, until she decides to leave. She is the only one we have found. She is in trouble becaus of us...she died because of us. If we leave we leave her with the person who made Rika into -that- who put a true shadow in the body of a magi. We can try to trust the others, but I am as cuddle as a spike mace and you... You can't suffer the touch of a collar. You have the feelings I have the memories. //
"We were not we...we were I ...I don't ...remember. I remember her " he looked to Rika.
//..... //
"Why do I ..you act like Tri?"
//........ I admired him....we admired him? //
".... No more collar then..." He kept looking at Rika his wings fluffed.
/...no promises. I can maybe give you 24 hours. Switch I am switching plans. /
Ree blinked as the cat turned white again and started shivering as Ree took a deep breath and finished up the healing. "Come on" he said quietly then looked at Rika silently. "Rest in peace ..." He looked up toward the wall where the other bodies were and the flicker of spirits. "I am sorry .." Wishing he could release them but if their body were frozen until use he did not know what else to do.
Looking at the knife and the chalice he frowned. Pulling his jacket off her cleaned off the blood from his neck and turned it inside out grabbing both items as the cat leaped on his shoulder again. Moving out f the open area he glanced to one of the walls and flaws his wings, pushing himself up then forward with telekinisis as he phased into the dirt and just kept going if he could through the dirt.

The orbs of spirits continued to flicker faintly through the corridor of dead bodies, not moving from their confines to interact with Ree at all, unsure whether they could even hear him.
As he made it through the dirt to surface, he rose up just in front of the wall perimeter just behind him, meaning the open area was just outside the perimeter, and the cells were just within it. He could see the back of the shrine again and more notably, the two guards were gone and noticeably a cluster of souls that he could see within the house upstairs. At least five, maybe six, it was hard to tell from the distance.
Ree blinked as he reappeared behind the shrine again with a faint frown as he solidified. Not where he hoped to appear but so far it didn't seem like any of the guards had come through. Now he just needed to go over the fence wall and find a place to hide these ..or throw them into the ocean..always a good place to throw things..you want to come back and haunt you some centuries later.m
Moving to the wall, cold eyes turned to glance back to make sure the guards were still there, neither were, likely went off to report if they had been able to see everything. Sh**
Ree blinked as the cat by him growled, eyes focused on the cluster of souls in the room above. "Don't!" He hissed softly as the cat summoned another artifact in its mouth and sight teleported(7 left ) to the souls. Reappearing it attempted to blast everyone in the room with a level 8 telekinisis.

Blasting telekinesis into a room, the cat knew nothing about what was happening in, caused chaos as three guards hit the walls looking winded but otherwise fine. Along with those three, Katarina slammed against the wall as well, knocking her unconscious. Lady Carmella having a sense for things, weaved magic of blood to block the telekinetic attack, moving to stand to protect Vina from it as well. Her eyes glowing red for a few moments before returning to a soft hazel color.
"Well look what we have here..." Carmella spoke, a little unenthused but her curiosity peeked nonetheless. She straighten out her top and looked down at the winged cat. "Take Vina and Katarina to the servant house. And fetch me the other one." she instructed to one of the guards. "Wait, no!" Vina protested in a panic. The masked man grabbed Vina by the arm and pulled her away much to her continued vocal unwillingness, scooping up Katarina to cradle her with his free arm and moved out of the room and toward the servant house quickly, two other patrolling guards in the mansion moving to follow along the way.
"Now, I was going to just let you be. Out of my own curiosity to see what you'd do with your power back, but it appears you'd rather fight me than escape. Did something scare you?" she began to grin slightly with intrigue. "Why don't you show your true self and talk to me... I've been so busy, I've yet to speak to you." she offered, crossing her arms and raising an interested eyebrow to the situation. The woman stood a little taller than Vina, her long black hair pulled into a low ponytail and she wore slacks and a button up that had lace on it. She waited, eyes focused on the cat as she waited for its reaction. The two guards that remained kept positions on either side of the room, standing there as though not going to step in until Carmella told them to or she was in danger.
Ree cursed softly as he "listened" through the cat waiting for it to stop pulling power before phasing through the wall and taking off running, holding the phase for the max 2 minutes.
The cat's fur was on ends as it bared it's fangs in a silent growl, a silent growl to them. Slowly its gaze flickered between Katarina and Vina then the guards as it kept its tail to the wall wings bristled as well. Slowly it turned to look Carmella as she spoke, it couldn't show it's disgust any more than it was already. This was the person who played with Ashral, and Rika...everyone else and was not toying with him. Extending its healing powers out it felt how everyone else was in the room as it changed, slowly growing and shifting until it looked like Ree with white wings with a pale hint of darkness swirling around him as he lifting his hand...giving her the Birdy..then lifting the second giving her the double Birdy as he caught what he wanted with healing and started to try and skin her alive...but with a while lot less finesse than Tobias.

[Warning: Blood, Gore, Mutilation]
The cat changed, morphing to a humanoid shape that looked much like Ree. He flipped her off and all amusement fell from her face. As the second one came, an expression of irritation befell her as she motioned to one of the two guards. "Find him." she instructed, but before he could leave the room, a sensation across her skin began that caused her eyes to widen.
Carmella screamed out as her skin began to tear across her body without a discernible pattern, blood quickly pooling up at the broken skin that only continued to spread and break.
"...bring him.. to me..." she forced out through shaky breaths, falling to her knees. Growling, she looked up to the form of Ree and her blood began to float up from her body, sharpening to small daggers and shooting forth to try to pin Ree to the wall, although her pain only caused them to graze him. One of the guards, instructed on what to do, left the room to find him, making quick work to make their way downstairs and looked to be headed outside. The last remaining guard pulled out a gun and pointed it at Ree, taking aim at him, standing in front of Carmella even if it wouldn't stop the telekinesis.
"..if you.. kill me.. Livy.. and your friend... will die..." she spoke through labored and pained breaths, her face grimacing before screaming again. "...you... would kill... them.... just... to see... me die..." she was having trouble speaking as her body continued.
Spirit winced as the small daggers of blood grazed him, making him bleed light but still his soul darkened as he smiled sadly and nodded. Reaching out with telekinisis he tried to twist her neck and end it even if the guard shot him.
Ree moving into the trees or what ever living thing he find, to hid his soul within the spirit energy of other living things. At some point throwing the chalice off into a random tree as he continued to move, staggering now and then by the double vision he kept receiving.
