Reserved simple for Daemyn.
Maybe the boy would have given the opportunity to talk to... someone. But you know, life wasn't so nice all the time- and so when the boy made his entrance, someone else decided to tamper with him too. Gray. So gray, like the clouds, that he reminded the weather of someone just like him, from before.
From the past.
Poof.
Literally.
Daemyn was taken from the ground floor of the entrance to another place. Somewhere higher up, maybe- somewhere in the building though, because that odd, static energy seemed to grow.
"Well, hello." a voice purred. Masculine and utterly void of any emotion, which made it sound rather disconcerting.

What was that? Daemyn had been waiting for some response to his presence. ANY kind of response was welcome... He hadn't been expecting this big of one. Something gray caught the corner of his eye, making the boy twitch involuntary. Then the scenery and all of the fae seemed to disappear. 'No,' thought Daemyn as he stared at the new entrance, 'It is I who have disappeared.'
He was a ball of nerves right now and he didn't know why. Why was he feeling so vulnerable all of the sudden? Perhaps because he wasn't alone. Someone was watching him, it seemed. Now they chose to speak. In the darkness, Daemyn whipped around, legs spreading slightly to ground his weight firmly into the ground. His arms rose easily, positioning themselves mindlessly in front of his chest. It was the stance he'd been taught in the karate lessons he'd convinced Sibuna to let him participate in; it was the beginning stance to the moves he practiced in his room once he was sure she was asleep. He wasn't sure what was going on now, but it put him on the edge.
"Who's there?" He implored, voice soft and calm and betraying nothing of his unease. "Friend or foe?" Like he could do too much if it was the latter.

The voice, or rather, whatever it was that held the voice drifted closer. Shadows really, made up of gray streaks like a cloud that didn't seem to understand that it wasn't meant to be so... tangible.
"It depends." the voice said, lacking any emotion. "Do you taste good, boy? If you taste good, then I suppose you can be my friend."
Feminene... no, masculine. Both seemed to drift in and out of the noise, and with a pause, something reached out and..
well, licked Daemyn's cheek.
"Tasty, I think." the voice said. "My friend would like you."

He was able to make the gray streaks out as they moved even closer, though just barely. His eyes were adjusting to the darkness, yes, yet he wasn't yet able to create an outline of the darkened denizen. His body didn't stiffen as it was almost upon him, but the tinny muscles in his arms flexed in preparation. What the heck?
The dark boy recoiled as something moist rippled across his cheek, hissing through his teeth. His body swayed in the opposite direction as if to face the thing. "I don't plan on being eaten anytime soon." He informed the interlacing inflections. His eyes closed for a moment, focusing his senses to his ears in hopes of trying to locate this... whatever it was. Maybe this way he'd be able to calculate movement. He didn't want to swing at it without reason, but when he had one, he wanted to have some idea of where it was. "Who are you? What are you? Are you fae?"

What was that noise? It was slightly raspy- not the way dry skin could be, so sand paper. But the way scales rubbing against each other could be. Yes. That was percisely what it sounded like.
"Fae?" the voice whispered, breathing over Daemyn's face. "No, I am not fae. Not like you are... I was never good enough to be one of the sidhe." She, it pronounced. Shee, like a whisper.
"But my companion? They are sidhe. Such powerful, powerful powerful..." mumbling the words and losing itself in the chant, it half forgot the child.
For a moment.
"I am Pet." the voice whispered. "Pet. Pet pet pet pet pet." it cackled.

Daemyn tried to place the sound, but failed for the moment. Its breath caused the silver-white hairs upon his head to quiver and tickle his cheeks, but his eyes remained closed and his body disciplined to stillness. The fae- he knew he was one, but he didn't exactly know their purpose. He had never asked, at least not anyone that could help. Sibuna didn't know. What made the fae so special? As the reptilian thing mentioned that it was 'never good enough' a small and invisible frowned muddled the boy's mostly complacent features. He wasn't haughty with the knowledge of his race. Should he be? Was sidhe just another term for 'fae'?
Powerful sidhe... were they behind this? He was not powerful in the sense of magic; at least not yet. What should he do if he ran up upon this master? "Pet... that's not much of a name." Daemyn told it, more musing to himself. "Are you and your... companion behind all of this?" Now was probably the time to go look for the others. But where was he?! Black eyes fluttered open in the dark, one black and bare foot extending across the tile.

A little giggle escaped the creature as it rubbed itself against Daemyn. "So proud so proud." it whispered. "Of my companion. So proud so proud, that they have finally... so proud."
Incoherent, really. Jabbers that made no sense even to itself. Murmuring the words, it let out a startled exclamation.
"Foodfooodfoodfoodfood!" it paused.
"Would you like to see the food?"

A muddled sort of feeling through him as if by listening to the thing he was becoming less articulate. What did it mean? The young male tried to put it together but eventually gave up. The sensation of the thing pressing against him left no doubt of its reptilian quality in his mind. The urge to flinch was overcome for now. His attention held faster to the thing's offer. Food? Metal? Of course after a few seconds he would remember not everyone ate nails for breakfast and tacks for snacks. Earlier it had called him tasty so perhaps it meant... fae? It really didnt fall into his mind that he might be able to save them, but maybe with them he could make a plan of escape. Maybe it was a trap. "Will you bring the food here?" It was most likely insane but he wouldn't underestimate it.

"Here?" Echoed the voice, before dissolving into another spat of giggles. "It's coming. Soon soon it comes- they come. My companion." Now, wait a minute. Just what did that mean? Was the companion bringing the food along? From the way the creature suddenly withdrew, it did not seem as if it would be emphasizing.
A metallic sort of screech sounded to replace the silence, like nails upon a chalkboard... or something more dense. In the dark, too close for comfort, something heavy was being pushed aside. The 'pet', as it were, chose this time to become vocal again, cackling softly while cooing. The sounds of the scales grew a bit fainter, signaling that it was drawing away.
"There's another. All by his lonesome, yesss, all alone aside for Pet. He is good... so so tender and appetizing." There was a series of clicks against the floor as whatever it was pulled itself free from the long metal shaft behind it. Daemyn was no longer the center of attention. Or maybe he really was. The clicking picked up, taking leisurely but long strides towards the young fae. "...He wishes to see the food."
A grunt. Dark, bestial, and just too damn close. Suddenly, a breeze, but not at all a pleasant one. Daemyn would be overwhelmed with a stench so foul and thick it seemed blanketing. The darkness grew, stretching with the smell until it seemed to swallow the dark fae. Literally. Even those soft cackles of the 'Pet' were gone now. There was nothing left but an impenetrable silence.
