Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rebecca finished off her work. Walking with a smile, she paused and turned her head, noticing something of interest. A group of people were roaming in an alley way. Rebecca walked a bit closer out of interest. It seems that they were arguing, holding up a boy to the wall. She could smell blood and her eyes grew a moment.

"Give us the shipment b'y!" the man holding the boy yelled. A thick Irish accent was all that could be heard. "You'll get it if ye don't hand it over." he said threatening with a fist. The boy smiled, being held by his throat no sense of fear. he laughed in their faces "Your an idiot. All you are is a thug. In fact you couldn't care less about the shipment, you don't even know what it is, WHERE it is. All you care about is saving your own slimy skin. Considering your the one who's going to get the beating if your superior doesn't get what he wants." The man was silent a moment. Then swung his rocky fist "You shut it ya little-" Rebecca intercepted, catching the fist with one hand the other hand adjusting her glasses, a basket of sweets cradled in her arm. The irish man stared astonished. The boy glanced over a bit surprised, having expected a hit to the face.

Rebecca looked at the boy from the corner of her eye, not moving her face. "I like you. Seems luck is on your side today." The boy stared confused, features hidden from the darkness of the alley. "How much do you think a soul is?" she asked him. His face became more confused, pausing a moment to think.

The irish man became enraged "Dont you go ignoring me!" he yelled droping the boy and using his second arm to punch Rebecca. She threw down the arm she was holding and effortlessly grabbed the other. "well?" she asked the child, not taking her eyes off him.

"Your a bloody witch I tell ya" She flicked the irish man into a wall, notpaying atention to him. His little minions picked him up "Get HER!" the irish man yelled removing bricks and rubble from his head. Rebecca took down a few people within seconds, and they all retrieted tails between their legs. she clapped her hands wiping of any dust on her.

The boy stood up. "It depends how much a person is willing to give up for it." he said looking at her with a cold face. She smiled walking over to him and kneeling down to face him. She grabbed his chin to get a better look at his face "tsktsktsk. I can't simply leave you like this now can I. Look at what a mess you are. You'll just have to come with me." she concluded. The boy was a bit astonished
"j-just like that?" he said
She smiled and stood up. "Its your best option" she said "Unless the next time you see those men you want to be alone."
"It wouldn't change anything." he said "It's not uncommon for people like that to come and beat on me like that."
"so, are you afraid of change. Or do you like to get the snot beat out of you" she said
"no. Neither." he said
She turned and walked off giving him the choice.
The boy hesitated, then began to walk after her.
"Whats your name?" she asked him
"...Demetre" he said skeptical about her.

A man with white hair was inside the mansion, walking around. A big grin on his face. He snickered "It reeks like her, everywhere hmmh." He touched a wall, and it began to turn black. "The way she's acting seems like she doesn't want me around." the man smiled flashing his bright eyes towards a kitchen. "And on top she has made an ally...? how uncharacteristic." He walked slowly. disapearing then reapearing in front of Anjie "So love, whats your name?" he leaned his chin on his hands, which were fixed on a table. "She mention an old friend like me yet?" his smile widened with interest.

(hope this gets your writers block unblocked.)

Anjie flinched as a low voice questioned her. Eyes widened as she turned he head slowly to see the keeper of the question. She narrowed her eyes on the man before exhaling her question.
"It's proper etiquette for you to tell your name first" She said sternly. 'I guess this is the man Rebecca... Cannot let my guard fall...' She thought to herself.
"Also, why not tell me why you're here" Anjie felt uneasy. She didn't have any upper hand anywhere in this situation. No fighting abilities or anything. She just had to stall a bit until someone who can help, came.

-Pitter patter on the floor. Slightly and Softly as the paws touched the surface. For a brief second it held the weight of a small cat. Luna pranced around on the floor in the other room. Cautious of the danger in the kitchen. She stood out on patrol waiting for the bird to bear it's claws before snaring it's neck. Taking the alias of a small kitten unaware of the world outside of it's own. Yet inside was a well aware hunter awaiting the jump of it's prey. . .

A slight smirk rose upon Anjie's face. Although it was breif it was still there.
"First for me to be called a lady" Anjie muttered under her breath.
"Also, I rather not have you target my mistress. She may have similar value to a corpse, but she is still my mistress." She said sternly knowing she wasn't going anywhere. Right as the man disappeared the front door opened. A cool drop of sweat ran across Anjie's pale skin, which was more pale than before. She moved her eyes into the direction of Rebecca and a young boy. She watched as Rebecca scowled at the scent of the man that had just came.

"Impressive... or normal... It is you I guess" Anjie mumbled while Rebecca thought about burning what the man had touched. A warm smile broke through Anjie's face.
"Welcome back Miss Rebecca and. . . Demetre." Anjie looked at the newest addition to the...odd family they were. Her eyes rose to look at Rebecca.
"May I... Ask you some questions later? I rather have someone tell me something I want to know rather than having to use them." Anjie referred to her ears which gave off a slight spark that was barely visible.

Anjie let out a faint sigh as Rebecca ran up the stairs. Her gaze shifted to Demetre who was sitting down and studied his surroundings. Her eyes lifted from the fear and gloom it had worn moments before when a question was asked by the newest member.
"Eat...Humans?" She cocked her head before remembering that Rebecca ate souls. "Nothing of the sort actually. I would eat normal things... Human normal things like Bread, Cheese, Fish... Speaking of which, what do you like to eat?" Anjie smiled at Demetre. "Assuming dinner will be shortly after your bath that is."


Luna snarled and stepped slightly closer to the place where the man was sitting. She glanced around before calming herself. Only to jump when the front door opened. She ran up the stairs and into hiding. At the top of the stairs she lowered as if she was hidden in tall grass. She prepared her stance more as Rebecca arrived into her point of view. Slow the breathing, Remove your presence, Become the very air around you, predict the movements. All were perfect except for one thing
....
No Camoflouge...

Luna pounced. Her target was right in place, but her target had quicker reflexes and swiftly moved out of the way causing Luna to crash to the floor. Several times. When Rebecca had left the room, Luna sat up and grieved her loss. Footsteps scampered up the stairs. A new scent. New Prey. Luna got into position. Behind the bathroom door she tucked her tail low with her ears as well. She waited for the perfect moment as Demetri entered her range. When he was in the perfect position, the feline pounced at the game.

"I can understand. He also sat in that chair near you. Would you like me to chop it up tomarrow? Or would you dispose of it yourself?" Anjie began looking through the cupboards. "Any preferences for dinner? Maybe something with meat since we might need the energy?" Anjie rested with her back to the window. "I still haven't made it to town yet, maybe I should leave this afternoon or tomarrow."


Looking up at the sky, clouds drifted slowly to the east. Khyal leaned against a pole inside the town. People starred at him as they passed by. His clothing was diffferent from the rest, He also had tattoos spiraling his body or maybe it was the fact he had a machete on his back. Or his hair? well he was just different from the rest. But of course he wouldn't care. He was close to his target. She was in the forest. After all these years, he has found her once again. Khyal leaned forward and stepped towards the forest.

The young cat cocked it's head to the side and closed it's eyes briefly as if it were grinning. She circled around Demetre's legs before jumping onto the sink's counter. She blinked twice and sat down.

"yes... I wish she would regain her conciseness again..." Anjie murmered as Rebecca shut the door. She looked through the cupboards in search of something that Rebecca may have left behind. There was the basket of sweets that Rebecca had brought with her, but it would only be good for dessert. There was a bit of food that Anjie could knew how to use. She grabbed it from the cupboards and placed it on the counter when she heard a thud in the bathroom upstairs.
"Demetre! Are you alright?!" Anjie ran half way up the stairs. She gently knocked the door and heard Demetre's voice just gently. Not enough to make out the words, but enough to know he was alright.
"Dinner shall be ready shortly. Take your time cleaning up." Anjie tapped the door a final time and descended the stairs to the kitchen. 'what shall I make?... hmm something that could be made under an hour or so? Maybe some vegetable soup? ooh! Is that Quail? I should make that too! Roasting it sounds great! and this bread here... I could use that too.... ' Anjie began prepping dinner ((oh gawd... what did 1800s folk eat!?)

'I know she's here, I can sense her! after all this time! I can finally see her again!' As Khyal walked the path into the forest, he passed a darkly dressed female. '... it's on her...the aura, it's only faint but she probably has a connection to her.' Khyal spun his heel to face the darkly dressed Girl (Rebecca).
"Oi! You there in the dark robes! Could I ask you somethin'? Tis really important and I feel as if you'd have something I could use." Khyal crossed his arms and relaxed his shoulders.
"By any chance have you seen a beautiful girl around these parts? I have been looking for this girl for years. She has these Adorable Cat ears propped upon her head." Khyal pointed to the top of his head and blushed slightly when describing her. Her image was clear in his mind like it was only an hour ago he had seen her.

Luna glanced back into the bathroom as soon as she was placed outside the door. She rolled onto the floor as if expecting a belly rub and began bathing herself with her tongue lazily.

"Well have a good day too" Khyal said sarcastically as the lady walked off angrily. 'I know she's up that hill somewhere in this forest. That lady back there, I feel as if she knows something about my lady... I hope I don't have to deal with her in the near future though...' Khyal continued walking up the hill. The sun was inching closer to the west as he weaved through trees and other things. He took a stop at a tree and closed his eyes. He was sensing the girl he knew a long time ago. She was very near, her aura was strong. He gently opened his eyes and stared at the ground. 'That lady back there, she had my lady's aura on her hand. I'm sure of it. I just need to follow the trail that she came from, but for some reason it's quite hard to follow. No matter, I'll just follow my senses for now. I'm bound to find my darling soon.' Khyal leaned forward and began walking again. He wasn't far from the house that Anjie and Demetre were in.

After finishing spreading the sauce on the Quail, Anjie put the bird in a clay pot with a few spices and vegetables, she prepared the soup by chopping the vegetables and adding spices. She placed the pot on the heat and sat down. The bread would be used to eat with the soup. Anjie sighed slightly and decided to seep into any mind that was wondering about Anjie's boundaries. Her ears atop her head crackled. (Excuse me if I'm godmoding, I'm just trying to recap what was said in your last post)
"Ah, even though she's a cat, it's kinda weird that she was watching me.... She startled me enough earlier... I'm glad it wasn't Rebecca going to kill me..."
Anjie chuckled and seeped out of Demetre's thoughts. She picked up several animal minds focused on their everyday tasks such as food gathering, hiding, etc. She was just about done scanning the area for something interesting when a notably different mind came across. She forced herself into the mind but didn't stay long before being pushed out. Anjie held her head as it throbbed slightly.
"Bloody Hell! What was that? Felt as if something got staked into my head!" Khyal rubbed his temples moments after a sharp pain intruded his skull.
'what was that? An enemy? I should try to get into it's mind further... I hope it isn't that demon that came by earlier!' Anjie eased her way back to where the suspect was located. She gradually entered the mind again, but with more caution and attempted to keep as much of it under the line.
"the hell was that...I wonder if one of 'em demons are about here...huh? the pain is gradually coming back! Argh...!'
Anjie returned again. This time with more sweat. It was hard to keep herself in another's mind when they had a strong will. The boy's mind she seeped into wasn't that far. Only a couple miles south west of the building Anjie was in. 'If worse comes to worse, I'll have to corrupt his mind.' Anjie's hands trembled at the thought of having to distort another mind just to save herself...

Luna stretched so Demetre could scratch her belly more. As he passed and went down stairs, she followed him into the kitchen where Anjie was sitting, coated in a cold sweat. Food wafted in the air as it cooked in the kitchen. Luna sat near the back of the door in the kitchen and she watched the two in the room.

She looked over to Demetre as he entered the room and forced a small smile.
"Oh, yes. I learned how to cook when I was really little. Good thing Rebecca provided some food already here or we wouldn't be eating until many hours later!" She quickly turned and wiped the sweat from her face before Demetre could see it.
"I think we should be eating now since uh, Rebecca might not be home until late, so I think we should eat no-......." Anjie turned to the window above the sink that looked at the trees and the city in the very far distance.
"The soup is still cooking, so it will only be a few minutes. If you'd excuse me, I'll be outside for a bit" She stirred the soup and put a lid on the pot. She quietly closed the door and walked a bit away from the house. She found a tree to hide behind out of the view of the house's windows. Seeping into the thoughts of the animals around the strange boy in the forest.
'The boy is only 120 yards away now, he's becoming a grand threat. There was a sword strapped to his lower back and a red coated package strapped onto his back with a crimson thread and clicked onto a beige shoulder sash that rested on his left shoulder. He was well fit since which was seen easily through his thin shirt. Red Tattoos spiraled his left arm and right leg and a few located elsewhere on his body.
'let's try to find his intentions again.' It was expected to be easier to seep into the boy's mind because he was closer than before, but it seemed as if he tightened his will against this foreign experience.
'Ah, it's back. What the hell is this, it's definitely the work of those damned demons... Of course they'd be where she is. Which kind is it.... the ones that can read minds....What is it, damn.. Grandpa would be so disappointed.... ' *flash of a faint image of a girl in pure white in a pool of blood in a very dark room from a downward angle.*
'Time to step up this game to avoid anymore trouble' *Day Dream Illusion* Anjie's eyes glowed a faint blue after chanting a spell in an ancient language.

Khyal drew his short blade from it's sheath on his back as a dark figure emerged from the shadows. "Are you my demon?" he prepared a stance with his right hand gripping the blade. He leaped forward and slashed at the monster, the demon dodged to the left and flames erupted it's body and flew towards Khyal. He swung his blade in front of him to block the blue flames. To his surprise, the flames went through the blade and hit khyal. The burning sensation swarmed his skin forcing him to fall. The flames buried in his body stinging. He looked down at the 3rd degree burns and his hand shakily went to touch the burn, but he didn't succeed well into the task. His mind was throwing things around like a tornado and he looked up to the demon engulfed in flames.

A smile crept up to Anjie's face. She could now enter her target's mind with ease.

'I have to leave, I have to leave. If I stay, I will die at this monster's hands. I need to leave now' She placed thoughts into the boy's mind.
'Can't.....so.....close.................................SHE'S HERE! I HAVE TO GET HER!' the boy fought back.
"what a stubborn boy you are" Anjie mumbled and attempted to move him this time. The boy's muscles obeyed the new commands that were placed into the mind. He got up and began walking away. His mind tensed in an attempt to free him of the mind control. His body stopped moving and tensed as the invisible battle began in his head.
Anjie placed more thoughts to make him move but the boy's body still protested against it. His hand betrayed the commands of Anjie and moved to his bleeding chest.
Khyal's hand slapped his torso where his skin was sore but smooth. 'there's....there's no wound?!' His hand began tingling and the formation of a large liquid oozing gash formed at his fingertips. He could feel his wound with his hands, But it was too late for his attacker. His mind began to organize thoughts again. 'Satori. Read thoughts of others. Satori hybrid: psychic. Ability to read thoughts of others and input thoughts, illusions and commands. Wipe thoughts and act upon instinct.' Khyal opened his eyes and walked his original direction ignoring the beast. The burning feeling in his body was still present, but eventually it would leave.

(okay.... that's it for now... I didn't drag it out as long as I hoped for...I'll post later?)
