Rogue walked into her room, naked except her bra and underwear, and made her way to the shower. She let herself absorb the scent of the water, and let the feel of it rush over her skin. It was funny to her the way a near death scare could make one appreciate the world all over again.
She cleaned herself up and went hid various weapons in her clothing like always. She was not completely decked out in normal Death Dealer gear, but she was ready to hunt. Her fangs weighed heavy in her mouth the whole while.

Having awakened herself from her hibernated state, she pulled herself wearily from her velvet lined coffin, squinting her eyes at the dim candlelight. So long without light was painful to her.
After stretching herself she made her way to her mirror and examined her appearence. It had been a while, but she was unchanged. Still as young as the day she was turned, despite being over 800 years old by now. Touching her face softly, she closed her eyes in reminiscence of older times.
Suddenly startled by a noise from downstairs in the coven, she looked towards her door as her mind wondered to the three other elders. Were they still here? She had been asleep for quite some time afterall. Regaining her composure, she slowly walked towards the door, opening it ever-so-slightly at first to peer out. No-one.
Stepping out of her door, she gently clicked it shut behind her as she called out softly.
"Kyrre? Rogue? Gabby?"
She knew they'd hear with their senses. Hopefully none of the fledgelings would. She didn't feel like having any interfere right now.

Rogue shifted in her position. She was in a painting frenzy and had needed to clear her mind when she heard...no, felt someone speak her name.
She stepped back from the painting, and realized what she had been unconsciously creating. She couldn't place it, but she set her paintbrush down and walked to the door creaking it open.
She was a bit surprised to see Rikku there, as she had not seen her for quite some time...actually since they had all seen the light. The scars on Rogue's face were still apparent, pearl in appearance, from the night she happened to run into the lycan Alpha. She was actually lucky he let her live, but he also attacked her while she was already wounded.
Rogue knew Rikku heard her door open, and Rogue stood there, half in the doorway, paint on her in various places. She stood in a pair of black pants and a black bra...painting had distracted her from getting fully clothed.

((Ahh, sorry for the delay! Dx ))
Alexz's eyes flicked up from the charcoal drawing in her hands and slowly rose from her chair, placing her sketchpad on her desk and the piece of charcoal back in its box. She wiped her hands off on her black skinny jeans and pulled down her red tank top before opening the door and taking a step into the hallway.

A woman being held against a wall in a dark alley.
A threat on her life made by a strange man.
A familiar situation.
Alexz's eyes snapped open.
She was racing down the halls of the coven before she even knew what had hit her.
((Exit to The City))

After what seemed like an eternity, she was expelled from a shadow located in the corner of the room and landed in a heap on her bedroom floor. After taking a moment to steady her breathing, Alexz, with the help of her bed's footboard, pulled herself from the floor.
Ping.
Splat.
She looked down.
Blood?
She sighed and ran her hand under her nose, wiping the blood which had begun to trickle onto her bottom lip. It had been a very long time since she had exerted her powers to the point of a nosebleed. But she would have to continue to push herself past her limits in order to control the Void, before it controlled her.
After dragging herself to and from her shower, she collapsed onto her bed, wrapped in several towels, and fell into a deep sleep.

They appeared inside her room by the doorway. Veroen's unconscious body floated beneath her hand in the same position it had been in in the Medical Room. Alexz crossed the room with him and gently placed him in the center of her bed. She covered him with the comforter, a gesture that was more maternal than necessary.
Moving to the windows, she lowered the shade and closed the curtains to prevent the sunlight from seeping in. She made her way to the corner of the room and fell into her couch with a sigh. Placing her feet on the arm of the chair and resting her head on a small pillow, she shut her eyes and lightly slept.

Screams....Screams of Veroen's sister as she watched him shove his sword deep into a fellow assassin's abdomen, before the fellow assassin could attack his sister...The silence afterward, plagued only by quiet sobs, then followed by the soft noise of a sheathing sword....
Veroen's eyes slowly opened, awakening from the dreams of the past. A sweet, fragrant scent filled his nose as his eyes began focusing on his surroundings. He shifted slightly, realizing he was on a soft, elegant bed. He felt groggy, and somewhat weak, yet not as weak as he had been when he was at medical. He wasn't in pain anymore, either. He looked over, sitting up slightly, and noticed Alexz sleeping on a rather expensive looking couch.
He then realized he was in the Elder's chambers. He was silent, and looked down at himself. He hadn't expected to wake up here. It was dark due to the closed blinds, and the atmosphere was calm, and comforting.
He shifted his gaze towards Alexz slightly. She looked peaceful. He hadn't really taken notice of her physical appearance before. She was quite stunning. He continued watching her silently, pondering why she was showing so much hospitality towards the man who had almost killed her.

Alexz's mother reached out to her and pushed a strand of hair from her face. They were in their humble home, seated on her mother's bed.
"You look tired, dearest," her mother spoke to her.
"I am," she admitted.
"Why don't you stay for a while? I miss you," Alexz's eyes watered.
"I want to, but I can't..."
"Why?" her mother seemed deeply upset.
"Something's calling to me, I need to find out what it is," she kissed her mother tenderly on the cheek, "I love you."
"I love you, too. Be careful."
Why was her mother speaking in modern English? Alexz became confused. Was it a dream?
She sat up suddenly, her tear-filled eyes frantically scanning the room. For a moment, she thought she caught her mother's scent, but it was just wishful thinking. Her eyes rested on Veroen and last night's events replayed in her mind. She felt self-conscious over her emotional state; seeing one of the vampire elders with tears in her eyes was not a common occurrence. The tears were wiped from her eyes before they were given a chance to fall and stream down her face.
"Sorry," Alexz apologized, a faint hint of an English accent apparent in her voice.
Her features smoothed as she regained her composure and she pushed her dream to the very back of her mind. She pulled her legs beneath her and sat on her feet. Veroen seemed to be much calmer than he had been last night. She hoped that she had been of some help.
"How are you feeling?" she asked softly.
((Edited.))

Veroen was calm. Not one judgmental thought went through his head. The assassin was silent for a few moments, observing Alexz as she wiped away a tear.
"I feel somewhat better. Thank you." He said in a smooth, deep voice.
He was silent again, staring curiously at Alexz.

"That's good," she nodded, "And you're very welcome."
Feeling as if she were under scrutiny, Alexz shifted in her seat and cast her eyes downwards. As she sensed he wasn't being judgmental, she relaxed and met his gaze. He seemed curious, but she didn't want to rudely pry his mind and discover why.
"Is there something you want to know?" she asked, tilting her head to the side.

((Hope I'm not interrupting. If I am, Gab, feel free to delete this post. RAH.))
Rogue walked down the corridor to her room where she would speak with Gabriel about what they had just encountered in St. Patrick's Cathedral. In truth, she was somewhat unnerved to be in that church. She had killed a few people during a mass there while holding the diamond within...when they could walk about in the daylight.
She felt Alexz's emotion...her room was down the hall. Her connection to Alexz was strong as she had shared in her blood. Her mind wandered with psychic instincts that truly were untamed, and she checked if the elder was alright out of reflex.
She felt Veroen in that moment when she was about to open the door to her own room. She paused wondering how Veroen was even here. He would not breach the deal they had made...
She walked down the hallway silently, out of habit, knowing Alexz would feel her mind coming anyway. Rogue knocked quietly.

Veroen looked at her for a moment, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard a knock on the door. Odd. He normally would have been able to sense someone coming....
He looked from Alexz to the door. He then glanced back at Alexz to see what she would do, or say.

Having sensed Rogue as she made her way down the hall, she was not surprised when a knock was made on her door. She was curious about Veroen's answer, but was patient enough to wait to hear it. Getting to her feet, she gracefully made her way to the door. She opened it and stepped to the side so Rogue would be able to see the rest of her room.
"Good evening," she said with a smile to show Rogue she was in no danger, "Would you like to join us?"

Rogue grinned slightly at Alexz after glancing at Veroen on the bed. She chose light humor as the opening. She couldn't resist.
"It seems you've been busy since I last left you..." her voice almost purred and the comment was directed at Alexz.
"And yes to your invitation." She walked in casually and looked Veroen over with a mischievous smile, but spoke to Alexz. Underneath the mischievous smile, however, she was examining his aura, and his state of mind on the surface feeling out any danger. She sensed slight confusion in him. He had been surprised by her knock. Interesting.
"It seems you've redecorated the decor. How lovely."
