Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ree was crouch down humming while staring at her as like a cat staring at a ghost. It was only when she called his name that he started to relax somewhat but kept watching her while humming until it seemed she was becoming more and more lucid.

".... I don't know but I think we need to move away from this hallway. " he said quietly with some urgency. He paused then shook his head even so he didn't think she could see him form this angle. "No..you didn't. you just started screaming." he said gently, wondering if that is what she meant about losing control. "Do you need help getting up?" he asked softly, as his eyes turned to the note in her hand then the stuffed dog on the floor and the picture frame on the ground. He frowned faintly now but straightened as he waited to see how she responded.

Ree nodded faintly and took her hand helping her up "Lets move to the living room first" he said quietly as he stepped closer to her and extended his wings to block her view of the item.

"We can move...just give me a few seconds to rest. There are some granola bars in the bag if you want to pick on them " he said quietly but on alert as he focused on their next move, on efficiency. He wanted to go back in that room and see what might have set her off then move to one of the other houses. Even if she didn't ask to move he would have. Something here set her off and the first thing was to get her away from it then ask what she did remember when it seem she was more calm. He didn't think she would be sane and he even warn him... he just hoped this helped.

Ree looked back at her questioningly until she looked away then he shook his head and nudges her a little more firmly with his wings. "I want to check something else again, just wait here please." he gently tried to lead her to the living room and the couch specifically before letting her go, hoping she sits down as he went back to where they were without waiting for her response. It seem his earlier cursory glance around the house missed something.. or it was nothing just to him.

Standing back in front of the close door he made a faint face as he looked back down at the two items and floated up the picture frame to his hand. He unconsciously started to glow faintly with Soul Light as Ashral's reaction earlier and staring freaked him out a bit.

Focusing on the picture a faint look of confusion cross his face as he saw a very old old picture of two white haired Shadows. A male and a female in what seemed to be the front of this house when it was in his prime. "....." carefully pulling the picture out of it's frame he slipped it into his pocket before turning his attention on the door, tensing since he wasn't sure she wasn't fighting something... that the collector might still be there.//Doing what? taking a nap?// a very very faint part of him whispered in his mind.

Opening the door he cast a quick look around for any immediate danger then a slower one to see what he had missed from his earlier investigation. There was the rug that was dirty, which is why he had not brought it as a blanket, but a closer look showed no... that was blood? it was to hard to tell but the fall pattern the spread.... likely. A quick look around showed only a few more pictures of the same couple but nothing else. Pulling away he headed to the rest of the house still glowing faintly as he investigated the other rooms finding another picture of the same couple of with a son? Pocketing that he went into the last room and did a quick look around finding it the most bare other than.."...?" lightly sending his telekinesis out under the bed he noticed a box go sliding out with a raise brow moment before he started sneezing and coughing. Pulling the box with him he moved out of the room and closed the door.

Once it calmed he opened the box with telekinesis, narrowing his eyes as he saw more pictures. He wouldn't have really cared about any of the pictures except that was some familiarity between the couple and Ashral. White haired Shadows...this particular house, bloody room and Ashral freaking out and wanting to leave. He was trying to confirm a theory..but he was missing one piece, even so the son? seemed to start making it close and closer.

Crouching down he looked through the pictured quickly until." ......" pulling one out and gazing at it quietly he placed it in his pocket with the other two pictures and sighed very very softly closing his eyes.

Ree finally opened his eyes and put the top back on the box only to slide it back under the bed as he stood up. So he was right, she lived here when she was alive but this wasn't that dark room under her brother's workshop, this looked like it was her real family with pictures when she was younger.

The blood in the bedroom, someone was seriously injured or died there but how to tie it in to what he knew of Ashral and the pictures. Nope, just assumption that he couldn't prove at all, well that was enough hunting around.

Turning he headed back to the front of the house, his thoughts on the pictures and Ashral's reaction to the room. She found someone dead there or did she kill one of them?

He stopped short at the junction between the hallway and the living room as he watched Ashral posed to attack. Soul light grew a little stronger as he pulled in his wings but kept an eye on the Shadow. Slowly he lifted his hands and just started humming the song while keeping an eye on her sword.

Ree slowly nodded while continuing to hum up to the point that she fell to her knees beside the couch. Only then did he lower his hands and let Soul light die down until it wasn't visible any more. "No, you didn't hurt anyone" he agreed quietly, while thinking that was true for the moment not the past..and barely at that. He tried to smile back but it faded to a sad look instead, while inside he was still alert waiting for her to react again. Yes she remembered this house for sure, and he doubt he would live if they stayed.

"It's okay. We should have left earlier, I'm ready now" he said quietly, lifting her up with telekinisis without asking and floating her to the door as he hooked the bag he brought earlier with an arm as he passed. "That is not a good place to stay in... Bad for our health " he tried to smile but it never reached his eyes.

"I will, soon" he muttered, staring at her as he floated her in front. "I just really want to move away from here" his voice was tired, he had hope to come back and sleep after everything that has happened today but not after how he found Ash, he wasn't even sure he could sleep when they found somewhere.

Moving control to just floating he looked around for something..anything. Everything was desolate other than for the Tree and the house and if he found Ash from it so could Hexxis. Best if they moved back to the many named city instead and see if he could find somewhere clean and empty enough that they could rest.

"Afraid of height?" He muttered glancing to Ash as he unfurled his wings, the surge of adrenaline and alertness was fading, he was just tired and moving on automatic. He couldn't trust her either...but at least she told him he couldn't.

"Okay ...I'll try to fly fairly low though, so you won't freeze" he said quietly not adding that it would also be easier for him to land encase he lost control of his telekinesis again. Unfurling his wings he prepare to take wing again when his phone rang and he reached automatically for it as his heartbeat speed up with fear.

A quick look at the phone number made him frown faintly as he hesitated then answered it. "Hello?" he asked a little guardedly while glancing at Ashral quietly.
