"No... Stop..." The dreams had decided to plague Skiaska. She was crying again, tears falling off her face like a small river. She clawed at her body as she screamed in agony. "NO! Stop! Please... stop..." She whimpered and huddled into a ball. Her eyes snapped open as she screamed out one more time. Her head whipped around the room, as if looking for someone.
Skiaska cried into her arms as she brought her knees up to her chin and rocked herself. Why did they keep coming back? Looking around wildly, she remembered what she had done the last time. And it had helped. Grabbing the dagger from her nightstand, it started.
Blood began to flow down her arm as she made shallow cuts along her arms. The red liquid fell down onto the bed, but she didn't care. Glancing at her door, she smiled, seeing it was locked. Her eyes were blank as she proceeded to slice. Finally, the pain faded and she counted, like before. Six cuts this time. Sighing, Skiaska grabbed the disinfectant and gauze and applied them. Curious, she wondered how muffled her screams were within the walls of her room.

Krii'Ouse walked into Haven. 'Ahh, home.' he said, passing the lounge. He had had a rough night, fighting, and befriending, one of his worst enemies... a daemoness. 'Hmm... Neko... interesting one, that. I hope she'll arrange that meeting with this 'Xan' woman... I'd like to talk to her. I'll get Len to back me up. Mehbe Skiaska... Skiaska...'
He heard the pain filled thoughts and rushed to Skiaska's room. Knocking on the door, he asked, 'Are you okay in there? Skiaska?!' He prepared himself, despite his pain, to bash in the door.

Skiaska's glanced at teh door as she heard Krii'Ouse's voice yelling. She shoved the blood stained knife in her closet drawer and finished wrapping her wrist and arm. She tugged her sleeves down as her gloves were across the room. Skiaska knew he was about to break down her door. Suddenly, panic filled her as she remembered the blood on her clothes and bed. "No..."

It was then that he realised he was a telekinetic. Breaking down the door didn't have to be the option. He used his mind to place the pins in the right place, and opened the door. 'Are you alright?!' he asked, seeing the blood right away, as red stands out in any situation, especially blood red. 'What happened...'
The past minutes flashed through his mind as he probed her mind accidentally. 'Skiaska, what's wrong, why did you do this? You know it isn't good for you? Blood loss ain't too great, and now the vamps and Lycans will smell your blood on your clothes. Granted, it is good for hunting, but you will be weak from your *own* blood being that which is on your clothes...'

Skiaska hung her head and didn't answer at first. "I... The dreams..." The tears started to come again as the yelling shadow from her dreams came into her mind. His words were like a whip as she remembered them. "Admit it. Who wants a FREAK for a friend? Krii'Ouse hates you for what you are. He dispises demons, remember? And that's just what you are..." "No..." Her teeth tore through her lip as she bit down on it. "But... Then why did it feel so... good?" Skiaska collapsed on the bed and curled in a ball, tears falling from the corners of her eyes as she squeezed them shut.

Krii'Ouse lifted Skiaska. 'Listen, It only felt good, because you told your mind it did. Pain is a natural response to a bad situation. You need to stop this.' Then he heard her thoughts. Someone taunting her mind. *A daemon... but one of her own making. One I cannot slay... easily...* he thought to himself.
'Now, how about we go upstairs, and get something non-alcoholic to drink, huh?' he asked her. He broguht her in for a hug, and squeezed a little. When he disengaged, he lowered her head, pulled his cowl down, and kissed her forehead, bringing his cowl up afterwards.

Skiaska nodded and wiped away her tears. "A-Alright. To both..." Looking up at him, her smile was genuine. "And... Thank you." Getting up, she rummaged in her closet and took out some clothes. Going behind a screen she brought from her house, she changed. Skiaska came out in a pair of dark blue, denim kepreis. She clipped the buckle on her bright red shirt, slipped on a pair of black, casual heels, and smiled. "Shall we?" Putting on a pair of violet gloves that went up to her elbows, she hooked her arm in his.

Krii'Ouse unhooked arms. 'Just one thing. I have to change. I need to get this iron off...' he said, rushing to his room.
He took his duster off, hung it on a hook on the door, put his armour on a special rack made to hold the pieces as if someone were wearing it. He took off his undershirt, and kept his cowl on. He tightened his belts on his boots, and put his glove and bracer on. He returned to Skiaska. 'Alright, lets go,' he said, sliding his hand into hers, locking fingers.

Skiaska nodded as they headed up to Hunter's. Her eyes widened when he locked their fingers together. Is he...? She smiled at him, worries slowly vanishing. Leaning in just a little closer, she sighed as they headed to Hunter's.
((To Hunter's!))

Skiaska smiled at Gail as she peeked in. "Just checking in on Alex. He okay?" "yes, he'll be fine. A few days of rest and no alcohol should fix him right up." Nodding, she turned to Krii'Ouse. "Shall we?"
((Jump to Park))

Queenie didn't talk much on the way to the barracks, although it wasn't for a lack of Deidre trying. Dee ran the gamut of topics as Queenie soundlessly (save a few check-ins with the guards) supported her to the barracks, from Will to the latest movies, from vampires to Queenie's personal life. None of them were topics the other Hunter seemed particularily interested in, and Deidre was still babbling when she dumped her on the bed.
A few seconds later though, and a quiet inhalation and exhalation of breath was the only sound coming out of her, as her eyes closed in slumber.

Passing through security, she ignored all the comments that the security guards made about the blood covering her face and hands, or her solemn expression. While she made sure that she walked as normally as possible, no sooner did the security door close when she felt like she was going to be sick. Quickly running around the corner into the locker room, she rushed over to a trash can, bent over it, and coughed violently as her stomach emptied itself.
Falling back against the wall in a sort of emotional stupor, and walked over to the mirror. She gazed at her bloody reflection in the mirror as she went to wash her hands, covered in drying blood. The water washed away most of it, but not all, pinkish water going down the drain. Staggering out of the locker room, she made her way into one of the lobbies down in Haven, sitting down on a couch. The combination of her physical exhaustion and her now emotional numbness gave her a sort of lost look as she leaned fowards, elbows resting on her knees. She didnt speak, she didnt move...she only sat there, seeming to stare at the remaining blood on her hands.

Her fingers twitched as she went into a sort of trance, a voice seeming to fill the air all around her. Though slightly deeper than most, it was definately a female. "Use it Kerrigan...Use your anger..." it said, her eyes closing slowly. The voice sounded as if it were encircling her, twisting its words into a net that sunk into her. "Use it!" Her eyes snapped open, taking in a gasp of air as she realized that she had been holding hers in. Standing up, she cracked her neck and walked briskly towards the security station once more, pausing only to make another stop at the locker room. Quickly she washed most of the blood off of her face...enough so that going out in public wouldnt be a spectacle. Passing through security, she walked into the city, shoving whoever she needed to out of her way.

Len continued down the ladder and jumped right before the last bar. He landed with a small thud on the reinforced floor and pressed the Lycan, once again, along the front entrance ways with again to the back of his...again. As usual, he looked up to the cameras and gave a grin as they were for sure knowing that he had brought an unexpected guest along. He already knew that defenses were back up, but leaving this certain personal watched, but un-harmed unless something were to happen.
Okay, now where the hell is Will? Len thought as they entered the lounge, cutting through there and soon past several other rooms. He just ignored everyone who walked by and gave odd looks at the seen. Even though Tyler was in his human appearance, most hunters could right away tell what he was. Soon they came to a door to the main interrogation quarters. Len looked from side to side, nodding each time, and soon the metal reinforced door slid open.
Len pushed the Lycan inside and placed his gun on the black glass table, followed by the pressing the werewolf into a hard seat. He was binded and blind folded, with security devises all around him, which he could probably sense, so he wouldn't do anything stupid. The door slid shut once again and Len grabbed his gun, placing it back into one of the hulsters.
He gave a smirk and headed over to the other side of the brightly lit room. He pressed down on a button on one of the speakers. "Hey, send a guy to fetch Jackson for me will ya? I think he's going to want to speak to our guest as well." There was a moments pause before an answer. "Just sent one Pro, William should be there shortly."
Len clicked the button again, shutting his side off as he turned back to Tyler, tilting his head slightly as he kept alert of his guns. "Sorry about the restriction of comfertability at the moment, but we have to be extra careful. Who knows what the hell your instincts might force you to do." He smirked again and placed his fingerless gloved hands flat on the smooth black glass, preparing some questions for him and giving him a moment to reply.

Jackson strode in shortly after Len, excitement in his step. A lycan POW! This could be just the break that they needed! Walking over to Len, he clapped a hand on the other Hunters shoulder, a great big grin firmly on his face. "Good work! No, no, no, not good work, GREAT WORK, Len! This could be the sort of break I've been waiting for. If the information we can get out of him proves even half as useful as I think it might be, then you can consider yourself a shoe-in for promotion to D-Rank. Now, let's go talk to our guest, eh?"
Walking towards the lycan, he gently, carefully removed the blindfold. It didn't matter that the werewolf could see now, since the bright spotlights pointed directly at his face still blinded him. Will smiled in a friendly manner as he backed up several steps away from the bound prisoner, assuming the role of "good cop". Friendly persuasion could often accomplish more than outright intimidation and agression could. "Hello, my name is Night Hunter. What is your name?"
He'd long ago made it a rule to never give his real name out to most enemies, with a few exceptions such as the vampire shop keeper Silver or the demon Elder Neko since he got along with them. He might not have kept in touch with his family since becoming a Hunter, but despite that he didn't want some punk supernatural creature that knew his name going after them to get to him.
