On a Learning Curve

Nerissa Dae comes wandering over towards the feline, sipping loudly from a can of pop. With a pained smile, she holds it out. "Wanna drink?" She asks.

Raisa Nightfire takes the can and sniffs it "What is it?"

Nerissa Dae 's black eyes rolls and waves her hands about. "Pop! Duh!" She can only speak the truth but she seems to be watching intently.

Raisa Nightfire sips from the can after wiping the edge and then hands it back after drinking very little "Thank you"

Nerissa Dae notices how little the feline drinks from it and thrusts her lip out as if hurt while she reaches across to take it back. "Here I am, sharin' my drink with ya.." She starts to say. Of course, it is soda in the can but only to cover the other ingredient placed in it, something to knock out the cat.

Raisa Nightfire smiles and continues to drink from the can, purring as she does

The small minty green demon leans against the median while she rubs at her face with a funny look, touching some fresh wounds that seem to be healing, still pink and fleshy. Painful..But the eyes remain on the cat, Neri flashing an ivory smile back that doesn't touch too much at her eyes.

Raisa Nightfire rests the can on the barrier and looks to you "Thank you again" she says as her eyes seem to look as if they're getting heavier by the second. She starts swaying back and forth as she speaks again "It tasted a little fun..." She doesn't finish the sentence and falls back off the barrier, smashing her head on the concrete below

Nerissa Dae just keeps smiling and waits. Waiting the moment before she jumps foward to try and catch her before she has a chance to bust her head open. "Experimentation time." She murmurs to herself and hoists the cat up the best she can to take her down with her to the lair.

Gate Keeper: What is the color of Night?

Nerissa Dae speaks the word that opens the doorway to the underground chambers.

Gate Keeper Door - Night Riddle: You may pass.

Nerissa Dae moves slowly to carry her down the stairs and disposes of her onto the bed for now, tieing the cat down to keep her from escaping since she doesn't have the key to the cell.

Nerissa Dae rummages about in her bag at her hip, digging until she seems to find what she wanted. She glances over at Raisa, checking on her, making sure she's not bleeding or anything. Maybe a nasty bump at the back of the head but nothing broken.

Raisa Nightfire lets out a quiet mew as she lies there motionless

Nerissa Dae flashes a ruined smile down at her captive and holds up a small test tube. "Lookie what I got!" She says chipperly. "A nice lil drink for ya." She hops up onto the bed and moves over crouch right over the feline and squats so she's almost sitting on her belly. "Open wide!"

Raisa Nightfire her mouth falls open slightly from your movements on the bed and herself

Nerissa Dae grunts and takes the window of oppurtunity, jamming the lip of the vial to her lips and pouring its contents into Raisa's mouth and slapping her free hand immediately over it while she tosses away the small container emptied to free her other hand to pinch the cat's nose. Lack of air always makes a person's throat open and want to swallow. Plus she's just in a bad mood and wants to be a little mean.

Raisa Nightfire uncontrollably swallows the liquid and then opens her mouth to take a short breath

The potion is bitter and acidic as it hits the taste buds, tingling the tongue before finally swallows. Neri still remains hunched over where she's stradling the cat, Raisa having her undivided attention now as she takes her hands way with a giddy giggle of utter twistedness. Like an imp in some nightmare, she hovers and watches before she reaches down and sets her hands to grasp Raisa's face tightly between her bitterly cold little hands and begins to utter a chant to get the potion its full potential, to be able to totally change how the cat looks to that of someone else totally different. "L' siltrin zhah drill putty nindel molds beneath ussta xta'rl. L' siltrin zhah drill fabric nindel ulnen tlu molded ulu foluss else. Usstan tlun l' lloun'az nindel orn thir'ku nindol jindurn ji nau uss orn zhaun."

Raisa Nightfire 's chest and stomach suddenly tries to pull from her body as soon as the chant ends. Completely oblivious to how she's changing and still knocked out from the original potion

Nerissa Dae scrambles back off the bed but keeps close to watch how her potion works on the feline.

Nerissa Dae almost purrs when it seems that the potion finally worked, the cat no longer looking the same. A delightful laugh and she claps her hands. "Yes!"

Raisa Nightfire lets out a groan of pain when the changes had finished

Nerissa Dae perks up and grows silent, hovering at Raisa's side while she watches attentively. The change was fascinating to watch, features changing, body...she grins further when the horns grow from her head and the tail looses the fur. "Ooohh..A demon? I'd never woulda imagined."

Nerissa Dae straightens up and finally just smiles, leaving Raisa tied to the bed, to go out and take care of some stuff.


************* ......A few days later......*************

The subway was empty thankfully as she slipped down, having looked around to make sure no one followed her. She passed through and snuck into the pocket to the door, making inside her father's headquaters with ease and begun her descent downwards, walking slow and quiet so her hooved feet made no sound. Half way down, she hears two female voices and comes to find the pair talking in the chamber.

Chellie Sholokhov nods again as she indicates Nerissa's arrival. "This is my first born. Her father is ..." She tappers off and shakes her head.

Shadow Thorn looks over "Sorry I didn't catch that last bit."

Nerissa Dae rubs her nose as she stands there and readjusts her mask against her face as she looks over at the changed neko. "Hey! How's it goin'. Gotta hug for yer sister?" She opens her arms out to Thorn.

Shadow Thorn walks over into your arms and puts hers around the smaller, black wrapped demoness. "Um...Sure.."

Nerissa Dae glances at her mother and turns back again as her arms slips around the other female, cold embrace tightening a little more then necessary as she pulls her mask down against her shoulder. "Been meanin' to do something. Just been really busy." she murmurs.

Shadow Thorn still stands there in your arms "Oh? And what was that?"

From Neri's back sprouts dark limbs that coils around Thorn's arms behind her back, locking her in place in her own embrace as she gives a nod. ""Yeah..." The black eyes glisten as they look over as if she's prey before she opens hermouth wide and something dark and ominous is expelled as she blows sharply into her face. "Breath in, chikita." She murmurs, the small demon issuing a dark essense that will finally sink into Thorn's body and change the female completely to a demon.

The dark vapor expelled from Nerissa was like a gas. As bone chilling as the small demon's very own body, entering the lungs and then spread out and eating into the system, dominating with a demonic essense. At last, Raisa was no longer, and the feline's past has been obliterated by Nerissa's own manipulations.

Shadow Thorn shifts her face to the side, coughing from the gas and taking deep breaths to get air in her lungs, her body gets colder and it tenses up, she begins to shake in your grasp before her body goes limp and tries to fall to the ground

Nerissa Dae feels the body sagging in her grasp and grits her teeth to hold on before she finally just lets it slip free of her shadow limbs with dark vapors coming from between her lips and nostrils while looking down at Thorn's body with a nod.

As the body's weight leaves her arms, she turns at the sound of approaching footsteps to watch her father, mother and others coming down the stairs.

Nerissa Dae dusts herself off as she turns. "Its done." She tells Vulcan while pulling up her mask again while she gets control of the darkness within her.

Shadow Thorn takes a deep breath as she lies on the floor, her eyes open again and tries to get to her feet but stays on her knees as she looks around "What...What happened? What have you done?"

Nerissa Dae tsks quietly. "Made you my sister, permanently." She tells Thorn.

Shadow Thorn: W...Was I not before?

Nerissa Dae shakes her head as she runs over to pounce Vulcan, hugging him tightly. "Nope! " She tells her, saying no more about it. " The chill will wear off, don't worry."

Vulcan Dagger wraps his arms around Nerissa's waist as he looks at Shadow Thorn

Shadow Thorn slowly gets up, the shivering becoming less apparent now "What was wrong with me before?"

Nerissa Dae looks up to Vulcan as if to leave him to answer that question.

Vulcan Dagger: You were not fully changed yet...You were yet to be completely turned...and now you are

Shadow Thorn nods "I understand Father"

Vulcan Dagger smiles softly and places his palm on the table

Vulcan Dagger: I am feeling drained at the moment..

Nerissa Dae fades from sight with a cheery looking wave given to Thorn. "Enjoy yer new life, Sister."

Another Failed Attempt

We stood gathered, father talking to the others quietly while the bound woman was bound and wedged up between a pedestal and the hot gate to the fire engulfed cell. Neri was totally engrossed in what was going on as usual. Usually she's safe in the chamber deep below the earth. Usually. There was a tickle at the back of her thoughts and then, "I see you, I approach.." The masculine whisper set her straight on edge and her head jerks around, looking all over the room, glistening black orbs hitting every corner with natural sight and past with the eye of depths. Nothing was out of the ordinary, the people around her familiar and well known but for the human woman. She turns her mind outward quickly and scours the city around close and even then nothing. That one little touch gave her a sense to know what to look for but she couldn't find anything in spite knowing that this individual was close still.

A hard shake of her head in an attempt to clear it and then she catches sight of something pale within the dark recesses of her father's throne. Instantly, her guard flares up in a well of coldness and turns, alerting Vulcan with a mental touch. .oO{Vulcan! Who's that in yer chair!?}Oo. Of course she was terrified. Someone managed to slip through the defenses and enter her safe domain.

Curios Doobie: i think she GAVE you choices Lord Vulcan.. i think its so kind of her to do so in the lightest extent, but i dont think she understands your vision

Curios Doobie: but she is using words..

Curios Doobie: actons are louder than words..

Zepher Dean materializes in this chair "Looks like the right place."

Zepher Dean: ☾☬ HUHUHOHAHAHARRR!! ☬☽

Nerissa Dae moves to Vulcan quickly with a frown.

Curios Doobie draws his blade and aims it to the foriegn one

The human woman laughs lightly, eyes moving up to watch the ceiling .."Oh, this isn't about his vision Curios, it's about what happens on the way. I don't need action. This choice, is about more than my life, and V knows it.."

Zepher Dean: Now now

Zepher Dean: let's not have any of that

Zepher Dean: I could smell her fear miles away

Vulcan Dagger: Execute him.

Curios Doobie tilts his head.. staring at Zepher without dropping his guard

Zepher Dean: what do you expect

Vulcan Dagger turns around

Curios Doobie: yes lord


Curios Doobie attacks Zepher

The demon is brought down quickly, effortlessly, by her father's minion. Nerissa hovers behind Vulcan's towering dark visage while her tail whips side to side viciously with wariness.

Curios Doobie waits..

Vulcan Dagger: Now...Rise again Zepher..and we will try this again

Zepher Dean dusts himself off


Vulcan Dagger: You enter into a Domain not your own, You will not make contact with anyone other then myself, that Includes Nerissa.

Vulcan Dagger: State your Business.

Zepher Dean: Curriosity

Zepher Dean: the smell of a game hard at play

Zepher Dean: the gathering of demons

Vulcan Dagger: Curiousity. So you make contact with Nerissa's mind and intrude upon my Domain.

Zepher Dean: the bright eyed on was open

Zepher Dean: forgive the intrusion

Vulcan Dagger: Before we continue, You will not follow, contact or harress any more of my Kyn. Are we clear on that..

Zepher Dean grumbles a bit "Very clear"

Vulcan Dagger nods " Very Good..What is your name, Kyn."

Zepher Dean: Zepher Dean

Curios Doobie turns back to Ethiadia.. still holding his guard.."to be bluntly honest.. i dont know whom you are, where you come from, nor do i care about either.. there is obviously a reason Lord Vulcan has you bound upon his floor.."

Vulcan Dagger: Zepher Dean..do you know who I am?

Zepher Dean: I am gathering your identity

Vulcan Dagger: What have you Gathered..

Zepher Dean: this is perhaps your hall that I so rudely jumped into

Nerissa Dae moves further away from the unknown demon, putting some distance between.

Ethiadia Laasonen leans forward, looking up at Curious with a soft smile ..."There is a reason for everything, though I find it fairly stupid that you do not care, the origins of what make the happening. Kind of sloppy of you, wouldn't you say?"

Vulcan Dagger: It is.

Zepher Dean: And I perhaps disturbed the king during a ritual

Vulcan Dagger: Zepher Dean, your face and name has been "remembered"...from this point on, you will be watched. You will not make it very far should you try to assault any of the Kyn of this City, including my Brethen. If you think otherwise...I hope you do not entertain the illusion

Zepher Dean nods

Raisa Nightfire coughs and gets up from the chair, straightening her jacket before taking a few steps away "Well, i've been here for a good few hours and I guess i'll be going...

Vulcan Dagger: If you wish to linger with demons as one of the Kyn with no false or ill intentions..I will allow you sanctuary in my Home so long as I am present but you will ask the next time you think to Intrude..otherwise, you will die in mere seconds upon entry.

Vulcan Dagger: Sit Down!

When he bellows, its only smart to do what is demanded. Nerissa watches as both the bewitched feline and demon sits, one at the table and another on the edge of the bed she had been tied to for a couple days from Neri's own hands.

Curios Doobie scratches his chin a bit.. really unsacathed by words, but he was becoming annoyed.. he raised his blade and struck her in the temple with the blunt side so to knock her out only.. the forged ice shattering in the midst while he turned his back


Zepher Dean: "seems my curiousity has been waranted


Nerissa Dae looks to Raisa and back to Vulcan.

Curios Doobie looks to Vulcan.."she talks a lot.."

Vulcan Dagger sighs softly "aye"

The human sees the impact but simply lets it come, the blow to her head giving hte result desired and rendering her completely unconscious.


Brandy Snifter : That was delicious, Zepher Dean!

Vulcan Dagger looks at Ethiadia's knocked out form and looks back at Curios

Nerissa Dae: You could of just put her gag back on.

Curios Doobie: ..i could of...


Vulcan Dagger: Not one of her Good Days.


Nerissa Dae sets another dark silver dusted petal on her tongue, devouring it, while she looks down at the unconscious woman.

Vulcan Dagger takes a seat

Raisa Nightfire turns around "Why? You tell Amarie to bring me here but not a word has been spoken towards me since i've been here"


Curios Doobie: i would rather not do battle with words and wit.. no one ever wins as long as Anonymity exists


Zepher Dean: I must take my leave

Zepher Dean: pehaps another time

Vulcan Dagger: Good day, my Friend

Vulcan Dagger: Nice meeting you..

Zepher Dean: I will make my approch more Transaparent

Vulcan Dagger: That would be helpful.

Zepher Dean bows and fades

After the skull faced demon disappeared...deep in Neri's thoughts, she hears...

Vulcan Dagger growls, the sound sending chills down her spine, where no one else can here him. She asks him, "You don't know him?"

Father says, "No. An assassin coming for you..."

She's quiet for a moment before replying, "Foolish of him to come down here with us all for that."

"Stay away from him." He tells her. "When-ever you see him or Vincent, you get away."

Nerissa gives a mental nods, heart sinking with a cold knot settling in her belly.

She thinks of the other attempts on her life over the last couple of weeks. No where was she safe she was beginning to see and deep down she knows now why he pushes her so hard to keep her defense up. Wanting her to be prepared for anything.

He wasn't Happy...at first

He touches the raw wounds healing nicely, showing a scowl as his rough fingers caress the edges with a delicate feathers touch so as not to cause her pain. She looks up, the eyes as black as pitch but shining with some odd shimmer of quicksilver swimming through at times. " You are to stay away from him for now on." He tells her and her chin lowers with a subtle nod of understanding. She knew that it couldn't be helped but perhaps she should of just coaxed him instead of startling him out in the first place so as not to get into any form of violent confrontation and now guilt twisted her up for hiding the full truth from him in the first place. "I'm sorry.." she whispers.

She feels the grip of his hand catching her chin and drawing her head back up so he could see her youthful features again, his other coming to brush away the white bangs playing into her eyes. "So much like your mother." He tells her. She can only give a weak little smile that becomes caught up in a passionate kiss that leaves her heart racing and whimpering as her cold features soaks up the heat radiating outward. And even as he draws away, she's silent, eyelids heavy but still enough to peer out from under the lashes to look at his strong features cast down upon her upturned face.

The smile on her pale lips is soft and she sighs as she leans into his touch as it moves from her chin to her cheek again where there is no injury before he grasps her hips and pulls her to his lap where he holds her against himself tightly, protecting her as much as he can with his love.

It wasn't the light streaming through the gauzy curtains hanging from the bed. It wasn't the sound of the house settling. Nor was it her name being spoke. Nerissa shifted as her arm lifts and she moves her hand to the large warm one that now rested on her bare stomach. Her eyelids fluttered to open and ends up shifting about until she feels the arm she was resting in tighten and draw her small cold form in tighter to their body. "You were having a nightmare?" The deep rich male voice had her head lifting and pressing her nose against his chin where she followed the path of his hot breath washing over her face and murmurs in her sleep, barely awake.

" ..was I?..." Neri asks him and feels the warmth brushing of his skin against her forehead, his kiss soft and tenderly placed. "Aye, you were. Do you hurt?" She draws her eyes open and looks to him again as his thumb brushes over her belly again, her silver mane a curtain over his shoulder pulls down as she lifts her head to kiss his lips. "No..I'm okay. Don't remember anything so it weren't no vision..stupid dreams.." The sigh is quiet and muffled as he bends down and presses into a firmer kiss that leaves the small demon nearly lost in the moment, all thoughts, worries..out the door. And she can only smile and bite her lip as heavily lidded gaze washes over his shadowy features while his hair played into her upturned face before she buries it into his neck as she turns herself towards him sleepily and murmurs, " I'm okay, mo Ionúin. Promise..go back to sle..sleep." Her words come muffled as she is already beginning to nod off, feeling protected and loved, within his embrace.
