((Sorry guys, minor crisis at home)) Haucon nodded to Leila. "I can't see a damn thing in the dark...the Sacred Realm tends to be a bit brighter...But I'm lucky..." he said flicking his fingers to light his cigarette again and demonstrate his ability. He was frustrated by how self centered Vanessa was, and wondered if it was maybe just 'cause she was a girl, which he'd never had much experience with anyway.
Haucon followed Violet and the others, nodding politely in greeting to the angel, offering his hand as they walked. "Haucon." he said "Pleased to meet you Holly." he added having picked up her name from conversation. They arrived at the Violet's house, which was covered in blood. He raised an eyebrow at it. "Interesting decor." he remarked to her before following Leila into the kitchen. He avoided touching the walls as much as possible, and pulled his wings toward his back so as not to let them get wet. The smell was getting close to overwhelming.

Leila merely blinked in confusion, having no idea what Violet was talking about. "Uhhh...?" She looked down at the rag in her hand, just remembering that it was there, excused herself, and returned downstairs to help Vanessa with the cleaning. The spiders were still creeping her out, however, and decided to choose another room to clean, one with as little spiders as possible.
There were even more claw marks as she wandered through the rest of the house. Something caught her nose...is that the smell of baby powder? One part of her was intrigued to see the pretty nursery, possibly the source of the smell, another part of her dreaded what Violet and her friend might have done to the baby that had resided within.
Maybe another room...
It was then she heard some movement, making her jump. "Violet......" her voice came out wavered in fright. "Violet!"
((Hope your crisis has been averted))

((Yeah hope the crisis is now a non-crisis!))
Hearing Leila call Violet sighed as she headed down the stairs.
"No matter how hard i try i can never get teh blood out," she muttered darkly. Following the sound of Leila's voice she frowned as she saw, she looked worried.
"Something wrong?" she asked, shaking her hands to dry them.

Vanessa ran upstairs and into the nursery where Leila was. "What the... What's going on!" Then she heard some rustling coming from the crib. She slowly walked over to it. She saw a small being huddeled under a baby blue blanket. She gently picked the baby up. "Violet!" She screamed, only to make the baby cry. She hugged the baby to her chest and cooed. "It's ok... It's ok little darling. Then she said a little quieter. "Violet!"

(OOC: To Vanessa: You've been directing this roleplay quite a bit. It's not exactly god-modding, but you're changing things and adding things, and making them happen automatically. It's not really against the rules, but just go a bit easier on it. For now, you're fine. Just saying.)
Dream remained downstairs, staying away from everyone. The entire house reeked of death and decay, but he could see that it was previously a beautiful place. It now had a different type of beauty... a morbid, deathly-type. He didn't like it, but he could feel how the demons supported it. He had always been able to feel how things worked from other points of view, because his vision wasn't clouded in stereotypes of his own kind, or anyone telling him what should be good and bad. It was all up to him to decide at this point, and he had decided to remain neutral so he could see the world from all perspectives.
He looked at a few plants in the house, and sent a few healing sparks their way. They were simpler to heal, as they were simpler organisms. It was a simple matter to revive them, and when it was done, it gave the area a somewhat different effect. It was... odd to see life around so much death.
But no matter. He had heard a scream upstairs, so he went up to investigate. Opening the door to the nursery, he saw Vanessa, holding a baby, and Lelia seemingly startled in some way. It was probably her who had screamed. Violet seemed to be pretty calm at the moment. There was a stain of blood on her, which he decided to ignore. Instead, he looked at Leila, who seemed the most preoccupied at the moment. "Is something wrong?"

"I..well...I wasn't sure what it was...but I didn't want to inside and see...what was in there..." her face was filled with worry and she was shaking a bit. What was a baby doing amongst all this death? And why did Violet leave it alone? Leila glanced over at Violet, a slight questioning look on her face, before her eyes fell on the baby Vanessa was holding. Maybe there's something in the nursery to calm it down...
She walked passed Vanessa into the nursery, holding her breath in case whatever she was to see would frighten her. It was strange that she had been alright with the rest of the house; it was the fact that blood in a nursery was just plain creepy.
Leila looked around for a bit for a pacifier or some stuffed animal, until her eyes fell on to a worn green cat missing an eye, the soft terrycloth fur rubbed away on its stomach.
I had a green cat like this once... she thought, a sad smile crossing her face. But I can't go back to that anymore.
She spotted a pacifier lying in the crib, still a bit shiny from drool, and picked it up, and made her way back to Vanessa, the cat still in hand. "Here," she said weakly, a far away look in her eyes. "Maybe this will calm him...her...down."

Haucon's heart raced as Leila's scream met his ears. His legs did the thinking for him, leading him up the stairs. He stumbled blindly into the nursery and looked around. "What was that?!" he demanded, slightly out of breath. It was only then that he saw the bundle in Vanessa's arm. He was even more confused. "You ok?!" he asked Leila. His heart rate began to return to normal (about double time for a human) when he saw that Leila was in no immediate danger. "What's going on?" he asked trying to appear casual.

Leila merely nodded in response, hugging the green stuffed toy to her chest. She gestured towards what Vanessa was holding. "Apparently, there was a baby alive in the nursery..." Leila responded in a voice that signified her mind was somewhere else.

Violet nodded, walking towards Vanessa and looking down on the child.
"I usually leave one person alive, it helps spread fear trhough the human race," she explained softly. She held out her hands to Vanessa, silently asking to take the baby from her. Predicting what the others could have been thinking she added,
"I don't usually leave children, it's horrible having your parents killed. It's just that Zack has this habit of mauling people before i can get a word in,"

Clara had awoken to the sound of Leila's scream. She had crept into the house earlier in the day, whilst no-one was there. She didn't mind the blood and found a room and hid herself under a table and slowly fell asleep. But when she awoke, she waited a few minutes than got up and crept towards the wall. She was in a room next to the nursery, and could hear them talking, but was just having trouble figuring out what they were saying.

"Are you sure he only left the child?" Leila asked Violet. "Maybe...maybe there's others...we should look through the other rooms just in case..." She glanced at the others with large eyes to see if they were in agreement.

Violet nodded slowly, lowering her arms with obvious reluctance.
"Your right, he had at least one more brother, and twin sisters. The girls room was next door if i remember correctly," she replied softly. With another quick glance at the child she gently smoothed his hair. Turning back to Leila Violet smiled softly.
"Let's go check quickly,"

Clara had her ear pressed hard against the wall, but couldn't figure out what they were saying, or who was talking. She needed to know who they were before she decided to see if she should talk to them. Maybe they could help her? But her mother always told her not to talk to strangers... yet again, her mother had abandoned her.

Leila gestured for Violet to lead the way; she was more sure of the layout of the house than Leila was, anyway. She was absentmindedly rubbing at the fur of the cat, as it seemed to be calming her down from the fright of the child earlier.

Violet grinned a little as she saw Leila with the stuffed cat. Shaking her head she muttered,
"I still don't understand how that can help," Walking through the door she entered the room next door. Puasing in the doorway she frowned and leaned forward to look at the girl in front of her. Bat like wings flaring out a little out of habit she asked softly,
"And you would be..." the sarcasm back in her voice as she met someone new. Although she was better then when she had first met the others she still wanted to make the right impression.
