The silver haired...man as it were sat in his chair, he sat his long silver hair floated around his head, he faced his window and only the back of his leather chair and the dancing of hair was visible as well a low chuckle coming from deep within the forms body. And...was that a horn? Though suddenly the hair shortened and drifted back to his skull and even as he turned to face his desk again, the smile on his face was nearly on the verge of cruel. He...he had awaited this day...a bit surprised how long it took, but had waited long enough.
A contract appeared in the air before him when he snapped his fingers. He smiled as he plucked it out of the air and his golden eyes danced over the signature he chuckled again. He had...so many plans...though he couldn't be sure that the boy was ..actually meeting with him about the contract. But...he could always hope yes?
Ah how he hoped...

Duncan was glad for the escort to the office of the one that he had asked for a meeting with and he was rushing to get there, nearly running. He had to keep moving these days to stay awake and after what he'd seen... he was actually feeling rather angry despite his lack of his other, darker self. He left the one accompanying him behind when he saw the door to Mr Vampy's office and all but burst inside, not caring that he was being rude at the moment.
The first words out of his mouth weren't any sort of greeting either, "You let it get stolen!" He accused the man at the desk in front of him, sounding angry, shocked, and disgusted all rolled into one.

The man looked as if he had been expecting nothing less of the boy, he was calm, serene. The smile on his face though...there was something very smug about it. But instead of replying instantly he leaned his chin against his hands lightly, his elbows propping himself up on his desk.
"Stolen? My dear boy what ever do you mean?" He asked in a nearly mocking manner, his body remained quite relaxed as he looked the boy over. A small smirk appearing on his face as he studied the lad.
"Please...sit. You look as if you ran here." He motioned for Duncan to sit, "And I don't suppose you would like some...tea?" He inquired even there was no tea there at the moment he knew he could get some instantly if he called for it.

"You know!" He said, shaking his head, "I could tell a mile away and she wasn't nearly that far off! I... it was part of me and you let it get stolen!"
He didn't sit down, didn't even want to think about sitting or tea or anything else other then the fact that some weird woman had gotten his other self and was running around using it for all the things that caused him to fear it...
"I didn't want to hurt anyone... you knew that and... and now shes doing it for that part of me!"

The man continued to study the boy with his glittering golden eyes. He said nothing for a moment before he moved to lean back into his chair. The squeak of the chair indicated he was getting comfortable, he even went as far to cross a leg over another.
"Nonsense. Something you didn't want and willingly gave up cannot be stolen." He responded with a nod of his head, he then went to tap a finger against the arm rest of his chair a moment.
"You..do recall giving it up yes?" he asked as if daring the boy to try and tell him he was wrong about it.

Duncan gritted his teeth, "It was a mistake... I was to..." To what, young, foolish, stupid? All of the above maybe, "I couldn't think things through far enough ahead. Never thought that..." He trailed off again and plopped down in one of the seats in front of the desk.
The man was right as much as he hated it and currently hated him... he had given that part of himself up so he couldn't really see it as stolen but, "Its still part of me... and its still doing bad things even though I thought..." He lifted a hand to rub his hands against his temples. It was all exhausting to think about and deal with, exhausting and headache inspiring...

The man watched the boy, it was hard to tell if he was merely amused by Duncan's rant or the fact that he was winning this battle of words so far.
"Did you honestly expect all that anger and hatred to just..magically dissapear?" He asked his tone sounding rather serious at the moment. He failed to mention of course he had chosen the woman specifically to carry the weight of wrath.
He shifted in his chair again, as he left the question hanging in the air. It was apparent he wanted Duncan to think through this...and take it all seriously. Contracts were nothing to laugh at...and the fact he was wanting to end his...he hid his smirk as he thought on it.

"Of course I did!" Duncan said lifting his three eyed gaze to glare at the man across the desk from him, "You offered to get rid of something that was scary for a little kid. What did you think a little kid would believe?" Of course he thought that it would just go away, that he would never have to worry about it or deal with it again but instead he had to run into it, see first hand how bad it really was... He might as well have the blood on his own hands.

The man offered a snort of laughter which he quickly smothered,
"Life isn't nearly that simple. " He started as he turned his chair his gaze shifting from Duncan to the photo on his desk in which he reached forward to adjust.
"Rather than deal with your...problem you wished it to magically go away. It went...but...if you hadn't found out about the transfer would you be here right now? " He continued before pausing to looking over Duncan before shrugging and leaning back into his leather chair.
"Probably not...you would be blissfully unaware of the hazards wrecking mankind." He explained a bit too cooly, the chair squeaked again as he shifted his weight once more.
The room felt...cold. As if the temperature had decided to drop, there was something very...disturbing about Mr. Vampy. Something...fairly dangerous.

Duncan nodded his head, "I would be here." He said, "Maybe not... yelling when I arrived but I'd have come." He sounding pretty certain of it after all he'd been thinking on it for a while now. A conversation with one of teachers helping him along.
"A teacher of mine said... that its better to take back that part of me and learn to control it." Duncan murmured, "And if I don't take it back I think... think that I might just fall asleep one night and not wake up." The time he slept seemed to outweigh the time he was awake.
Something had to be done and there was only one thing he could think of that could be done, he had to be whole again.

Raising an eyebrow he made a note to figure out which teacher had told him such sagely advice. Though normally breaching of contract or ..retracting one had very serious consequences. This was no different, though he had no intentions of claiming the child's soul. he had received plenty from the woman's killing spree. Though a bit dissapointed that he wouldn't be getting any more souls he figured he had received enough for the moment.
"Well then...I can give you back what you so...willingly gave up before. But there will be heavy consequences.. are you prepared for that?" He asked as he looked very serious. It made one wonder just what he was going to tell the child.

Duncan looked up at Mr Vampy and gave a little shiver at his words, "I don't know... I mean I have no idea what they are so I can't say I am prepared but... It doesn't matter. I can't let it run around like that anymore." He let that part of himself have its fun for far to long and many had suffered for it...
"So... what are they? The consequences?" He sounded as though he were trying to be brave but his tone held a little worry and fear to it.

Vampy went to stand up his form seemed...so much...taller... he peered down at the child the smile turning serious as he spoke.
"First, you have to make a choice. To get the other part of you back...you must come face to face with the woman and...kill her. By destroying her mortal coil you can release the part which was you and absorb it back.." He explained as he leaned onto his desk looming over the kid.
"Or...you can allow me to retrieve it back for you...but by breaking this contract you will be ...forever tied with this facility. Your life will belong to me. Do you understand?" He asked his eyes narrowed his smile very dangerous.
"I will explain in more detail if you wish, there will be...some rather interesting adjustments you will be faced with."

Duncan's trio of eyes went wide at the man's words, growing wider by the end and he sat in silence. His life would belong to Mr. Vampy...? He lowered his head to look down at his hands and he gave a nod, "Yes... ah... explain, please." He murmured trying to wrap his mind around it all, because of a foolish and hasty mistake as a child he now belonged to someone he could barely even stand...?
For a moment he felt his resolve weakening, a part of him wanted to tell the man to go to Hell and just leave but... he couldn't really do that. He couldn't leave his other self to roam around hurting more people, couldn't just allow himself to die in his sleep... so he would be a slave instead?
He lifted his hands up to rub at his temples again, getting the worst tension headache there now.

Nodding his head he smiled further, the kids expression amused him.
"There...are ways of getting out of this unbound. But...you would have to kill the woman yourself. By confronting the evil that was once yourself...I have no means to keep you bound here. There are some...things...that will come of it. By abosrbing that part of you which is wrath back into your body...you will most likely gain all the memories of the woman...from her first kill to when she dies by your hands." He explained the first option to him,
"But...if you let me take care of it...which I can easilly do, no blood wil be spilled by your hands...I can alter the memories so you won't recal a thing of when it was apart from you...so none of her memories will be rememberd. By doing this...I am basically cleaning up the mess you have unwittingly caused, and you will belong to me...until the day you shed your own mortal coil." He continued with a smile, he then went back to face Duncan his smile was cold...his gaze almost hungry.
