Behold and Behave (Private)

[Lunadrakla]

The letter was sent and the girl had received it. This was well known. Now all that was required was to wait for her to come. Three letters and all three were in languages that would possibly be known. She had to show up.

The place the letters sent her to was an estate, so close but yet far from the place that still suffered the nightmares given to the people by the girl. The village of her origin was so near the three lakes that found condolence in each other. This estate lay just across the lakes, far enough for seclusion but close enough that everyone knew it was there.

The lands were extensive and throughout it all the manor lay so close to the edge of the rock cliff that dropped into the icy cold waters many wondered how the manor itself stayed out of the waters. It was wedged between the lakes and the mountains themselves.

When approaching the manor one would have to pass not only through a wrought iron gate that stood high enough to almost be a wall, but also pass by a personal cemetery that held the tenants from many ages. To simply look at the grounds and surrounding area it looked as if the only area that was kept up to top shape was the cemetery itself.

The area had a feel of trespassing to any that wondered pass the gates and the many gargoyles and statues scattered about the whole land helped to lend to this feeling of forebode with its ever watching eyes.

The house looked to be in disuse and the only things holding it up was the excellent skills of the builders. The walls the color of dulled white washed stone and the wooden accents would have been at one point the color of roses.

There were many gardens around the home that had been left to their own doings for so long that there was no separation of where the flowers stopped and the vegetable garden started. All of it threatened to overtake the house that had now become the trellises for the multiple climbing plants. The only thing that seemed to be void of vegetation was the door itself that swung loosely in the wind as if the place had been abandoned or left without even shutting the exit behind them.

When she came everything would be silent as if waiting for her. They were waiting for her. This was where she was supposed to be. Here within the grasps of the old that was constantly fighting off the new. The one thing that would be found as out of place is when she had fled her home in the village it was still said that this house was occupied. So where were they now?

[Rivermane]

Caw!

"What do you mean this is a bad idea?"

Caw! Caw!

"Dangerous? This is less than a few miles from my home, what could be so dangerous around that dull place."

Caw!

"Alright that's enough out of you! On the shoulder or you can stay here!"

Terra and her companion had been walking for days now following the instructions of three identical letters she had received seemingly out of thin air, the first two she had been unable to read as they were both in languages she didn't understand while the third had been in English allowing Terra to finally read the mysterious letters. Naturally her companion had been less than happy as they approached the road leading up to the old mansion and was now perched in a nearby tree refusing to move an inch, Terra knew there was nothing to fear around her old home as it was a quiet place where almost nothing happened aside from traditional weddings and festivals which Terra was quite glad to be rid of.

"Alright.. ha ha! You've had your fun, there's nothing to fear here I should know I lived here for seventeen years!" Terra's patience had slowly been dwindling as the trip had worn on, her companions constant warnings aside Terra hadn't met another living soul in a few days now and the beast had been battering at it's confines day and night depriving her of most of her rest.

Caw!

Seeing that he had tested his mistresses patience a tad too far the raven swooped down from the tree and perched upon Terra's shoulder, it looked at her apologetically with a don't say I didn't warn you kind of look assuming birds could make such a face which Terra sometimes wondered if he could. Turning back to the road Terra made her way through the gates that stood wide open which was slightly surprising since she always remembered them being closed, as she continued her eyes looked over a nearby graveyard that seemed to be well tended too which was odd again since most of the citizens of the small town were buried in a large cemetery just outside of town.

Caw!

"Yes, I agree.. this might not be as safe as I once thought.." Terra said hesitantly as they continued up the road, she didn't know why she got the feeling of something being wrong with the place.. perhaps it was just the proximity to her own home and the lack of blood that was putting her on edge.

[Lunadrakla]

“Who is it?”

“Is it her?”

“She’s here!”

“Shut up!”

“She hears us, be quiet!”

The voices were whispers coming from all around her. None had a definite location making them like words passed on the wind. But it was gone almost as soon as the words appeared.

Not a sound was made afterwards which made the sound of the gates shutting behind her even that much louder. Even if she turned to find out what, there was nothing there. It was as if the gates had shut on their own. Once again silence covered the property like a thick blanket.

Smells of fresh turned dirt wafted to her from the graveyard before the winds shifted bringing a smell of roses, honeysuckle, and flowering tobacco. The whole thing was like a cloud of perfume thick enough to choke those of sensitive smell. That is if they had the need to breath.

That was what made it another oddity for it was the wrong season for a few of the blooms but they were flourishing just the same.

As she moved closer to the door the winds would shift again, this time the plants would not hold the dominant scent but blood, fresh blood.

[Rivermane]

Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!

"Yes.. alright, I admit it. You were right! Now pipe down, nothing to be done about it now."

They were hollow words meant to help ease her companions fears but in truth they were too busy trying to quieten her own, the sound of the gate closing it's ancient hinges screeching as they did so had sent a cold chill down her spine as she had looked over her shoulder slowly in the hopes that the sound was just a hallucination. Turning back slowly letting her nerves settle slightly Terra glance around slowly her ears hearing muffled voices on the winds which didn't help, continuing up the road at a slowed pace her eyes kept searching around noting the various plants and flowers that doted the side of the path. The place had changed so much since she had been a little girl when she and a few friends had snuck inside to see how the other half lived so to speak, it had been beautiful then with the flowers tended too as well as fresh fruit and vegetables being grown in the various gardens.

Caw

"Yeah.. I know, creepy." Terra noticed the lack of a high pitched chirp in her companions exclamation, such moments were normally reserved for when he was feeling rather unnerved.

As Terra neared the door her nose caught a scent that made her chest tighten as well as causing both her hand to cover her nose, she knew the scent well and also knew what it would bring if she didn't keep it's heady aroma away from her sensitive nose. But it was too late it seemed as already she felt the inner beast batter down her remaining mental defense a cry muffled by her hands signaling the loss of the last vestiges of her control, as her hands lowered to her sides a wicked grin spread upon her lips her fangs baring as the lips slid open. Terra's eyes pulsed an angry red as the beast took control of her form it's power coursing into Terra's body improving all her senses and strength, sniffing the air Terra slammed both hands into the doors sending both doors careening inwards with a sickening crash as the beast announced his presence to anyone inside the mansion.

[Lunadrakla]

As the doors slammed open the sound that accompanied it was a girlish giggle. The giggle held no source but hanging on a thin rope from the beam separating the entry way and the rest of the house was a blood soaked teddy bear. It hung by a single paw, the human blood soaked into it to the point that it was actually dripping slowly to the floor. Beyond it where the next could only be seen once the first was approached was a stuffed horse, hung and soaked the same way. This continued through the house with various stuffed animals till finally a body that was only a young boy hung in the same fashion, by only an arm. There was a little slashes along the frame that allowed only a few drops of blood to run silently down the flesh.

The inside of the house was the complete opposite of the outer image it portrayed. The floors were shined and polished. The furniture was fresh and looked to be new. And even portraits and tapestries appeared to be freshly painted and weaved.

Even as it all seemed to be in such nice shape it was still confusing. The fashion in each room twisted and turned as if there were many different designers. It went from the dark and forbidding to a business like state that showed little room for anything that held emotion to the vision of what a child would have chosen for decorations. Each room held its own theme and yet the same clash of ideas.

The animals led from the entry way back to a single bedroom where no window was seen. In the middle was a four poster bed that had no decorations but the tie-dyed comforter that looked like a rainbow exploded on it. The walls were black with veins of crimson red weaving about it trying to find the way out. The whole way to this room nothing stood in between to cause a barricade.

[Rivermane]

Terra's mind raged as her eyes fell upon the slowly dripping blood from the teddy bear as it had been so long since the rich substance had wet her lips, deep down a part of her was happy that this base need was likely about to be fulfilled even as she struggled in vain to regain her own mind. Approaching carefully blood running to her hands to form a pair of bloodied talons Terra took a test swing at the bear finding it to be unaffected by her attack, her eyes then noticed the next blood soaked item which she took a running leap at slashing again to no effect. Growling quietly Terra continued through the house slashing smashing and pouncing on the various blood soaked toys that littered the path, Terra might have found the decor of the house pleasing to the eye if she could actually see what was happening as the beast was interested in little aside from their next meal. Finally Terra's eyes settled on the hanging body of the youth her rage addled mind registering that this indeed was the meal she had been seeking, approaching cautiously at first till she was close enough Terra then pounced on the youth flying through the door and landing on top of the body smack dab in the middle of the bed.

Sinking her fangs into the youths neck Terra's feeding quickly developed into a frenzy as her fingers would sink into the youth's flesh where it had been cut, her drinking would halt every few moments for her to find a new vein to plunge her fangs into were the youth actually alive the halls would likely be filled with his bloody screams. This type of feeding would continue for only a minute before the actions would begin to slow as the beast now sated would return to his prison deep inside Terra, as Terra's mind came back to itself she felt stronger and more alive than she had in almost a week. Although she hated losing control of herself she couldn't deny that the feeling she had after he got free was euphoric and addicting, secretly a part of herself loved letting the beast run free to let it just gorge itself till it was satisfied so that she could revel in the feeling after wards. Lying down upon the bloody and mangled body of the youth Terra just relaxed and enjoyed the feeling washing over her, it wouldn't last long naturally as her more rational mind realized that not only had she lost control again.. she was lying on top of a young boy.

[Lunadrakla]

Just as she was coming around to a rational mind, the room suddenly became active with movement. Three women walked into the room, two of them moving towards the bed while the other stood in the doorway. The one that stood at the door was dressed in riding leathers of a dull grey tone. Her flaming red hair pulled back into a tight bun that sat atop her head like the strict school teachers that would beat the child if they spoke out of turn. The look on her face was just as straight and precise as the clothing.

The two women that approached the bed split, each moving to a different side. The one on the left had a widow’s veil hiding her face even as she wore was looked to be a black and red French maid costume. She reached out and with no regard to the blood that was upon the bed, scooped Terra from the mess and held her captured in her arms. “Don’t worry, we’re here now. Clean the mess.” The first part was spoken in a soft sadden tone directed at the girl in her arms, and the last at the last woman who at this time was ripping the covering off the bed along with the body.

This woman could have been easily mistaken for a child rather than a woman, she had on a wildly colored jesters suit that looked like it had experienced an accident in the paint factory. Unlike the other two woman though, this one was singing a song about the new bird mussing up the nest when the floor was already prepped. There was also a smile on her face that showed two little canines that were only slightly longer than they should be.

Right after the bed was stripped; the red head moved into the room with more covers and sheets as if she had been holding them the whole time. As she spoke to Terra, she made the bed up once again to have it looking like a bouquet peed on it with its flowery colors. “Don’t worry about anything. We’re here now and you’re not going to start training till we get you back to tip top shape.” Her words were sharp and precise as if she was talking to soldier instead of a summoned vampire.

As soon as the bed was fixed the maid laid Terra back down on the bed and they all moved to leave the room. The red head started to close the door behind her since she was the last to leave when the door was suddenly stopped. Peeking back around the door jam, the young face with a jester hat perched upon it smiled at her, “Can I get you anything?”

[Rivermane]

Terra's mind was spinning slowly as the feeling continued to wash through her system making her quite docile and relaxed, so naturally when the three entered the room she made no move to acknowledge their presence or even care that they were there between her and the exit. As she was hoisted into the arms of the maid her sense began to swim back causing her to look at the woman oddly as if she had suddenly appeared, for a moment an image of her mother seemed to swim into the image which made Terra relax and burrow her head against the woman's arm. She stayed like that for a moment before her mind came back fully and she remembered that her mother was dead and by Terra's hand no less, the mix of the ebbing feeling of euphoria combined with the memory of her mothers savage end brought unshed tears to her eyes her body shaking slightly as she broke down in the woman's arms.

Caw! Caw!

Her companion announced himself as he flew into the room having abandoned her shoulder quickly at the door as he knew better than to be around her when the beast came out, fluttering past the red headed woman he glided down to land on Terra's shoulder it's talons grasping onto her flesh giving it it's usual squeeze so that she knew he was there. But for the time being Terra didn't acknowledge him seeming lost in whatever grief the combination of emotions had brought up, as she was lowered onto the bed she clung to the maid for a moment before releasing her.

Caw.

Her companion chirped quietly extending one of it's wings over her head as if it was trying to comfort the still sniffling girl the lack of pitch in it's chirp showing it's concern, as the three made their way out of the room Terra began to calm down slowly as exhaustion tugged at her as the last few days had been mostly sleepless nights. To the question there was no discernible reply as Terra seemed to be on the cusp of sleep her eyes drifting slowly closed, a few remaining tears streaking down her face as her eyes closed.

[Lunadrakla]

Upon Terra’s release of tears, the veiled woman had started to let silent tears flow down her own hidden face; but still left with not a word more to her. The colored jester herself left the room for the time being since not an word was whispered to her in reply.

Upon the time that she would awaken again a colorful sundress lay upon the bed at her feet and she was tucked under the covers. There were also two new additions to the room as well. A perch was placed next to the bed for the bird to stay with a feeding tray upon it where an assortment of food had been placed as well as some water.

The other addition to the room was a rocking chair that was occupied by a woman whom looked to be in her mid-thirties. She had black hair that was tied behind her head and a pair of deep blue eyes. The woman was rocking in the chair and humming a lullaby while knitting socks.

The smell of fresh blood wafted from the woman from a few cuts that were open on her body. The woman didn’t even seem to notice them as she continued to occupy herself. When Terra stirred, the woman would pause and smile at her, “Hello dear. Are you feeling better? You’re friends said you had been sick but they needed somebody to watch you while they went out. They care about you a great deal you know.”

[Rivermane]

A young Terra stood hiding behind one of the many white pillars surrounding the festively decorated courtyard watching quietly as people moved around the area setting down flowers and cutlery, the little girl understood what this event was to be and a part of her was indeed rejoicing at the event because it was meant to be a happy occasion. But a part of her knew differently that this was not a happy occasion, it was more like a prison sentence.. a vow of servitude.. broken only by the death of both parties involved. Her elder sister was to be the bride and some unknown fancy man was to be her groom, a good match their father had said when he had broken the news to them.. so good that it couldn't be refused or questioned.. or even discussed. As Terra stood watching she silently wanted to cry for her sister who was not permitted to weep for her own misfortune, it was how they had been taught to be.. strong, devoted, loyal. To put his needs above their own was the way things were in the little village that seemed so lost in time and seemingly backward in custom, the image of the wedding seemed to blur for a few moments before Terra stepped out from behind the pillar as a now grown woman. Her own prison awaited her just ahead but something was wrong, a pain in her chest began like a dagger being thrust into her chest causing her to double over. Her conscious mind receded allowing a foreign presence to take over her vision turning a deep red as she slowly surrendered control, the eyes that looked back up belonged not to the young woman who had been raised and bred for a singular purpose these eye's belonged to a overprotective beast that was here to do what she could not.. object!

Terra thrashed around in her sleep from time to time as her dreams were hardly pleasant to the point of driving her from sleeping completely as her unconscious mind showed her image after image, was it wrong to be partly glad the way things had turned out? To be happy that she had gone from slave to monster? Which one was worse.. the slave who submits.. or the monster that preys? Surging awake with a startled cry her chest heaving strands of her long hair stuck to her sweaty forehead hiding her eyes as they looked about wildly, it was gone now and she was awake and safe for now her body heaving a sigh of relief as her hands gripped and released the bed covers. The quiet words of the nearby woman reached her ears pulling her from her thoughts and back into reality removing the last of her mind from it's unconscious reverie, at the same time however a scent reached her nose a scent she knew all too well as a lust built up deep inside her as the beast once again bubbled to the surface the smell drawing him out like vitae from a wound. But this time it was slightly different as Terra was in no frame of mind to fight and after the dream she was even more confused, now in control the beast wasted little time getting things started as it shifted her body slightly to so she was crouching before launching itself towards the older woman. Landing on top of the now quite rightly frightened woman who had only moments to register the danger much less cry out before a dull snapping sound of the impact snapping her spine and several of her ribs, once again in a frenzy the beast and Terra fed attempting to slake a thirst that could never truly be quenched no matter how many people there were.

Caw!

The beast receded quickly this time as it's blood lust was quickly sated with the woman's death and the extra blood taken from her now broken body, Terra's he swiveled to find her friend as blood and gore ran down her chin her mind slowly reconnecting to everything that had happened.

"What have I gotten us into now.." Terra said with a quiet sigh, turning back to the corpse of the woman her heart sank slightly as once again she had failed to retain control when it was most needed.

Caw! Caw!

Came her companions reply as it picked at the offered food upon it's new perch seemingly far more happy about this change of venue than she was, getting off the body of the woman Terra turned back to the bed finally spotting the dress which she moved over to examine. The dress was beautifully made and reminded Terra of summer dresses that some of the more fancier ladies she had seen in her life used to wear as they paraded about town, such a thing wouldn't look good on her.. would it? Looking around for a moment Terra tried to find something to clean her face with which she quickly found to her frustration that there was nothing, sighing again as she looked down at the dress as well as the splatters of blood that now stained her own clothing from her recent 'meal' she wondered just how she was going to clean herself up.

[Lunadrakla]

The dulled screams of the woman rang through the home, the sounds drawing in the others that dwelled inside the walls. It was just as Terra began to freight about a way to clean up that the younger looking woman came bounding into the room. This time she wasn’t dressed as a jester but as a giant baby chicken. The feathers across her body sun yellow and her golden hair molded into a beak around her face. She had a bonnet on that worked as the eyes, but the rest of the clothing only covered to her bottom before the rest was skin to represent the legs of the poultry. Her feet perched inside two chicken feet slippers.

“Good….Well actually welcome to the awakening!” She breezed over to the body on the floor and peered down at it. “You’re not very good at this killing clean thing…..” Spinning back to face Terra the woman flounced over to her a smiled a toothy grin of pearly white teeth. “You’re a mess.”

Once again not giving the poor girl a chance to answer, she skipped over to the wall and pushed against the stone. What Terra got to see was an opening appearing in the wall, a hidden door revealed. Within the room was an onyx bathroom. A sink with a personal pump sat against one wall, a chamber hole in the corner, and an onyx tub that looked to be formed right out of the wall sat on the other side of the room. A bench wrapped around it creating a comfortable seating for preparing for the cleansing process. Even though the room was made of pure onyx oddly enough the whole place seemed to stay decently comfortable warmth.

“You can wash up in here. I’ll go get your clothes!” With a grin and a skip the blonde chicken disappeared back into the bed chamber leaving Terra to her own doings.

Back in the room, the others had came in and cleaned up the body and blood while Terra got a look at the bathroom. By the time Terra would get out of the bathroom, not only would the place be spotless again but she would also have a varying option of clothing. A wildly colored dress that looked to be made of patches, the sundress, a black soft leather blouse with matching pants, and a deep blue Victorian style dress were all laid upon the bed fighting for the right of being worn.

[Rivermane]

Terra actually visibly jumped scooting back off the corpse and across the bed in an instant as the girl bounded in a startled yell escaping her as she did so, she hadn't been caught with a body before so she was unsure how someone would react to it's discovery coupled with the blood covering her face and shirt. For a moment she huddled behind the bed watching the strange girl till she bounded along till she saw near Terra offering a toothy grin that made Terra grin back with a hesitant chuckle, funnily enough though this girl didn't seem to mind her current state or seem that surprised about the condition of the corpse in general.

Caw! Caw!

His tone made it sound as if he were laughing which earned him a nasty glare from Terra who was feeling naturally a little self conscious given that she was covered in blood.. in the room with a corpse.. and being regarded by someone dressed like a chicken, it was short lived however as the girl seemed to lose interest and moved quickly out of Terra's personal space just as quickly as she had entered it which was a small relief until she watched the girl effortlessly push a hole in the wall leading to an attached bathroom. Cautiously following the girl into the small room a small smile crept onto Terra's face as if she could feel the water running over her skin already, it had been several days since she last bathed so she would guess her odor was less than pleasant. Not even hesitating Terra began to remove her clothing tossing them out the door a piece at a time till all that remained was the smile, not bothering to close the door since she had been raised to not be conscious of other peoples stares not to mention she was unsure if she even could given what the door was made of Terra quickly settled into washing herself.

It was almost a foreign thing to be relaxing in such luxury as her body floated weightlessly upon the water inside the confines of the bathtub which thanks to her size was not terribly limiting as her limbs stretched out easily a small sigh of contentment escaping her, the trip here had been longer and more harrowing than Terra would like to admit mostly due to the proximity of her old home so close yet at the same time it seemed a world away. Growing up in seclusion among a small community where tradition was all and parents dictated your life regardless of your age to most would seem like a very old and oft times stupid way of going about things but to Terra that was life, remembering back she could still hear her parents nagging voices demanding this and that while she tried her best to please them but naturally nothing she ever did seemed to be good enough so she would do her best and endure their punishments silently. Then he had come, a stranger had shown up at their inn one day wearing a heavy traveling cloak and smelling of the grave. Blinking for a few moments Terra came back from here reverie quickly realizing she had been running away with her thoughts for the last few minutes, slipping out of the bath she padded over to the mirror looking at her body every bruise.. scar.. and even the two small marks which had yet to heal on the back side of her neck. Wrapping a towel around her hair Terra drained the water from the tub and placed a hand over the mark on her neck feeling somewhat vulnerable with it visible, naturally how he had managed to get close enough to her to preform her turning would be rather obvious to most that didn't live within her village at the time to her it had seemed the most natural thing in the world.

Her companion watched the two as they moved about the room cleaning it his black eyes watching them carefully still a little wary of their presence, it's attention darted back to Terra as she stepped out of the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around her hair her body sporting a few bruises here and there as well as some healed scars on her back. Stopping at the edge of the bed Terra looked over the assembled clothing her mind ticking over slowly as she tried to decide which she was going to wear, deciding she wouldn't likely be expected anytime soon Terra decided to move the clothing slightly and relax on the bed for awhile trying to make sense of recent events. She had remembered that there was three of them now her mind still a little hazy on the subject of what each of them actually looked like as all their faces were still fuzzy, heat rose in her cheeks as she wondered just what they had been thinking after her rather shameful performance.. breaking down in the arms of some woman she didn't know.. how embarrassing she thought to herself as she covered her face with her hands.

[Lunadrakla]

The room was dark with the only light being provided was from a stone that had been inset in the bathroom ceiling. The stone glowed a blue light so it didn’t reach far into the bedroom. The light that had provided visibility inside the room before was starting to dim making the room darker and the shadows to grow more.

As the room grew darker, the noises from outside the room grew louder as well. A sudden scream bounced off the walls very similar to the ones that Terra herself had induced while feeding. In the middle of the scream though a clash cut through it and leaving the sounds to die, leaving a haunted silence behind it. Just as the stones that were fading died, a few stones came to life with another dim blue glow.

To mortal eyes the glow would cause more hindrance than help with the amount there was. It would cause shadows of things where there was nothing and hide others that indeed exist.

The door came open silently after a few hours allowing light to penetrate the shadows that were creeping up on the woman on the bed. Slipping into the room behind the light was a solid shadow. It carried with them a lantern to provide extra lighting within the room though it didn't provide any lighting upon the features of the carrier.

As it moved closer not a sound was made even to the heightened senses of the vampire. It was only when it was right next to the bed did the creature took on more than a dark shade. What was seen gave knowledge to the lack of earlier profiling. The skin of the woman was black as night along with the hair that curled and framed her face. Eyes held chocolate drops that seemed to be stuck between melting with warmth and frozen with distance. The clothes that donned the body was black as well with the style quite similar to that of a mercenary. The smell of metal meeting the sensitive nose giving away that weapons were indeed upon the body.

It wasn't till the woman spoke did the brightness of the teeth provide evidence for sure where the mouth was located. "Terrra" the r was more pronunced showing that the words she spoke were not of her normal language. The words were heavy with accent making one listen closely to understand what was said. "Arrre 'ou aw'k?"

Reaching out her hand, she grabbed the arm of Terra and shoke her with a great force that would rattle bones. " 'Ke up!" She shook her again if no responce was given.

[Rivermane]

Terra had been resting quietly letting the cool air of the room dance over her skin as she lay upon the bed not a care in the world it would seem to anyone who looked upon her, the truth however was quite different as currently her mind whirled with how she was going to escape the lovely situation she had managed to walk into. Looking up she spied the beady black eyes of her companion looking down at her with interest seeming to gleam in those same eyes, he always had seemed rather in tune with what she was thinking and had pulled her out of a few scrapes since the had met but she did save him from a blizzard so her guess was he was simply returning the favor. The strange part was that the more they spoke the more Terra came to understand him as if through their conversations they were both developing an understanding of each others language, she knew he was worried about her however as she didn't need him to speak to understand that much.. his tone and constant presence were enough.

"Don't worry about me, I've been in worse places than this one.. I think." There was a hesitation in her voice that even she noticed, the words seemed to be more directed towards herself as if to convince herself of the truth.

Caw! Caw! Caw!

Terra chuckled quietly reaching a hand up she ran a finger along the feathers of her companions chest his presence was actually quite comforting giving her a quiet strength, chivalry wasn't dead it seemed as she had her knight right here watching over here when she was unable to watch out for herself.. funny she thought he'd be taller. Terra's mind swam back to a few hours prior when a scream had ripped through the quiet house causing her to jump as the sound reverberated from the walls as if the walls were bouncing the sound around out of spite for those present, any lingering doubts about her hosts being human had pretty well vanished around the sound of that scream. Before that moment she might have been able to fall asleep again but after that noise she found herself unable to close her eyes the coils of mortality still firmly wrapped around her mind, walker of the night she may be but to Terra this was little comfort as she knew little of what it was to even be what she had become.

Terra had just managed to relax enough to finally be able to close her eyes long enough to fall back asleep when she was awoken by someone shaking her violently, calmer than she had been earlier when Terra opened her eyes she was prepared this time to be faced with something different. Terra took a moment to regard the woman or what she assumed was a woman as she found it a little hard to make out for the first few moments, wincing slightly at the grip the woman had on her arm she reached a hand of her own over and placed it over the woman's.

"I'm awake.. and that hurts you know?" Terra said evenly deciding that being passive would be unlikely to get her out of this situation, while being to aggressive would also likely not get her far.. still all she could do was wait and see what her 'hosts' had in store for her.

[Lunadrakla]

The woman instantly let Terra go as she moved to touch her hand. The woman’s arm dropped back to her side, the look on her face still empty. “ ‘ou been rrrequst’d t’ jo’n thee ot’errrs ferrr food.” She stepped back from the bed while shifting her gaze down upon the pale flesh that was exposed for all to see. Her eyebrow lifted only a centimeter, but no other sign was given of her thoughts.

“ ‘ou mi’t want t’ put som’t’ing on, Miss.” She moved again but this time towards the bird that hadn’t left the room since Terra had arrived. “ ‘ou, Sirrr, mi’t like t’ join us ferrr dinn’rr.” The voice she used with the bird was much friendlier than with Terra. Once speaking with the bird, she turned her head to look back at the girl, letting the deep musk of the canine animal drift from the disturbed tendrils of hair.

From the open doorway, the sound of skin upon skin came rushing down the hallway along with a harsh hiss. “I’m going to see her!” The voice sounding like the blonde chicken Terra had met earlier.

“You will leave Pandora to fetch her!” The second voice belonging to the red head, “You just simply want to cause problems!”

“Nu-uh!” The response was similar to a child arguing with her mother. “I want to be the one to bring her out!”

“Leave them alone or I’ll have to deal with you the old fashion way!”

“EWWW!”

The woman, Pandora, did not even react to the sounds and what they revealed. “Do ‘ou ‘at morrre th’n ‘lood?”
