Siobhan's life had not turned out anything like she thought it was going to go. She was placed with a family that were human and raised as a nomad never setting foot inside of a big city and lived on a farm. That was the only life she knew farm life, which equipped her with many useful skills but nothing that would prepare her for the future she was going to have. One evening her Father and Brother had been killed, she found their bodies along with the black smoke, white eyed creature that kill them. When the creature turned its sights upon her it was as if she was the one it was looking for, She ran and it followed, she eventually killed the beast, while activating her Nephilim side, but since that night she had been haunted by demons and the black smoke monster.  She found her way inside of the city of Evermore, Finding Isaac who was the Creator of the Nephilim community in Evermore. He took her in and tried to shield her from the bad in the world but not even he could. 

Maybe that was why she was sitting in this bar on a Tuesday night on her third whiskey, She felt as if she was failing at being a Nephilim she was unable to use any of their gifts, she couldn't get get her wings to work when she wanted them too, She was feeling defeated after everything that happened to her. She stared at with a stone cold look sighing softly as she picked it up and tossed it back, She could feel eyes on her as if she was a meal.  She stood up pulling her jacket around her shoulders and made her way out of the bar as she walked out the door she could hear the foot steps falling on the path one after another. Her hand tighten into a fist digging  her nails into her palm reopening the scars there, feeling the blood there she was going to turn around and scream at who ever was falling her until she heard her name. She turned facing the man in the dark clothing. Her eyebrow raised at him as he asked her to trust him.

She scoffed as she turned and faced him, the wind causing her blonde locks to flow around her as she looked him up and down. "I will trust you when you tell me how you know my name, because from my experience no one good ever just knows your name." She kept her hands in the pocket of her jacket . "How long had this been going on?" he question and she took a step back it was as if he could see the darkness that surrounded her. She shook her head "Leave me alone." she said firmly as she turned on her heel and began to walk away from the man with the staff she felt uneasy as if he knew more about her then she wanted anyone to know. She pulled her hood over her blonde hair but the growling formed behind her. "Shit," she muttered the smoke monster was getting braver it use to be confined to the woods only but now the park in the middle of the city. She turned around as the smoke formed into a large bear with the dead white eyes as it let out a large growl. She was quick to duck the first swing from the bear. She reached in  her boot pulling out a throwing knife tossing it just as the monster that looked like a bear but much larger swiped her tossing her through the park against a tree. As she flew through the air she tried to will her wings out but they didn't want to come out as she slammed her head against the tree she groaned out and moved to sit up feeling the blood pouring  for the back of her head where she split it open. She opened her blue eyes looking to the smoke monster with the pale white eyes as it growled at her. She then moved her gaze to the side just as she saw Erythreus walk closer "Run." She screamed as she didn't want another to get hurt from the beast that killed her father and brother.

The beast took a step closer towards Siobhan then caught the scent of Erythreus, the creature turned its head and let out a growl as it blocked her from his view. Siobhan was seeing stars at the point, She pulled herself from the ground with what little strength she had. "Hey, its me you want!" she screamed out towards the monster, the monster turned around and looked to her screaming out. Siobhan breathed out heavily as blackness began to take over her brain her eyes locked on Erythreus as she watched him on a fogged state before she fell to the ground as the darkness over took her mind and fell there on the ground completely, unconscious. 

(She will she him do what he does before passing out :D)

Erythreus chuckled, she had a point. No one just knew your name, there had to be reason "I know everyones name.. it comes with being who I am; what I am.. I'm not here to hurt you however." he explained, hoping she'd give him the chance to do what he had came to do, he couldn't let this beast take her out of this world, and he needed to send it back to the underworld, if thats where it came from. But a black smoke monster? the thing had to be dead, which made it his duty to take care of.

As she then stepped back and told him to leave her alone, he huffed, some people were just really hard to get to, especially since he always came at them at random, "Sorry love, but I can't just 'leave you alone' please don't be stubborn" he spoke as softly to her as he could, but he didn't feel like having a cat fight, not here, not now. Erythreus for the first time in his life shuddered, this girl had more demons than hell did, but he wasn't going to let her die, even if she didn't want the help, he was giving it. HE let her walk away... close enough to where she'd summon whatever demon he was here to defeat, but what if this wasn't the only one, and what if another took it's place.

"THANK YOU!!!!!" he shouted up to the sky, shaking his head, why was he the aspect of death? Questions that would never have answers. He clenched his staff waiting for something to happen, but when something did happen, it scared him... Erythreus didn't get scared, he was the one to scare people. But why was a girl with the face of an angel battling something like this, he looked to the monster after it had thrown her into the air and smashed her into a tree. "Here here big bastard" he shouted for it, giving himself just enough time to transform into the red dragon that his staff allowed him to do. The white eyed creature ran at him, and Erythreus had no problem fighting it back to the underworld, or in this case, back to hell.

Scars and gashes all over him didn't matter, the minute he transformed back to himself he walked oover to where she sat against the tree bleeding pretty badly. "You need my help like I said." he reach out his hand, glancing over to make sure his staff was where he sat it. "I'm sorry if I frightened you" he stated, it wasn't everyday he had to turn into his dragon form, but he couldn't have beat that thing in his regular form "It seems they have a vendetta against you... why?" he asked, because he sensed that this wouldn't be the only demon that came after her. "I have a feeling we're gonna be seeing each other, more than you like... and you told me to run, you're selfless for that, but i'm not that person.. ill never run from someone who's in  danger" he expressed and sat down beside of her waiting for his wounds to heal.

Siobhan sat her back pressed to the tree for a few passing moments after he was done fighting the smoke monster as it disappeared into a black goo on the ground. She groaned in pain she could hear him talking asking her questions, She groaned again as she moved setting up recalling what she saw before she passed out, he transformed into a red dragon...No that can't be right...but then again she was the daughter of an angel so who was she to judge.  When her blue eyes finally opened she looked side to side and groaned looking to him as she sat up more, her fingers coming to the back of her head probing the tender part that wasn't healing on her own. She sighed as she reached into her pocket pulling out a handkerchief and pressed it to her head to help with the bleeding. She leaned her back against the tree not feeling any broken limbs this time, "Your a dragon?" she asked as she kept her eyes glued to him.

"If I knew why these things kept coming after me don't you think I would have solved the issue, I am tired of getting my ass kicked and those around me hurt because of these. damn things." She sighed as she then though of his question before. "a few months back I found my father and brother murdered by one of those smoke monsters." she shifted letting out a sharp breath "I killed it that night and activated my Nephilim gene. Not that it matters, I can't even use any of the gifts I should have and can't even get my wings to work when I want them to." She let out a breath as the cold caused her breath to form into a puff of smoke. "Since that night they come after me many shifters seem to start fights with me and others. Its like I am cursed." She muttered out as she then groaned standing up and took a step away.  "So when someone tells you to run you should." She looked to his wounds "Sorry about the wounds," She said looking away "Do yourself a favor and just stay away from me."

With that she stuffed her free hand into her jacket and began to walk away, well limp away from him as she moved down the street and reached her home as she walked in peeling aside the jacket and tossing over a chair, she made her way to her bathroom where she stripped aside her clothes looking at her naked reflection, she took in the scars along her body and the fresh scratch marks over her back. She frowned as she looked at her reflection she looked as if she was in an abusive relationship and yet her assailant most of the time was smoke, how it could hurt her so much was beyond her. When she heard the her door bell she sighed and cursed under her breath wondering if it was her neighbor once again. She wrapped the towel around her thin frame and made her way to the door opening "Terri I swear..."she paused seeing Erythreus standing there, sighing as she noticed his gaze moved to her bruised body, that refused to heal at an accelerated rate. "You don't give up do you." she stated and sighed as she opened the door and shivered "Come in I would rather not stand int he cold in a towel." She waited for him to walk in, closing the door behind him.

She looked over his back as she leaned against the door before she pushed off of it locking it "Make yourself at home. I am going to shower, then we can talk." she said as she walked back to the bathroom closing the door tightly behind her sighing out as she looked at her reflection once again and then turned on the shower climbing in. She washed the blood from her hair wincing in pain and then washed the blood from her body, she wasn't sure how long she stayed under the hot water before she climbed out remembering he was there she slipped from the bathroom to her bedroom smoothly trying not to make a sound as she pulled on some leggings and an over size t-shirt, her wet hair clinging to her neck and face as she returned to the living area of the small almost empty apartment, she walked to the kitchen getting a bag of frozen peas and two glasses along with her whiskey and walked to the table that sat there setting the glasses down and poured some in each glass before placing the bag of peas on her head groaning in pain and took a sip from the glass before she spoke "What do you want to know?" she asked him as she took another sip from the glass and pushed his towards him. "Because I doubt you can save me." she said and sighed softly "You wouldn't be the first to die trying to save me." she finished the glass.

Ailward AspectPermalink Reply by ✓ Erythreus Ailward ~Admin~ on December 14, 2017 at 6:04

Erythreus chuckled at her question "No dear. Not a dragon, i'm a Vampire, who died and came back ... twice... and I was given a duty, to protect the dead, both here and the underworld, where I sent your demon to" he tried explaining, but saying it out loud made him feel crazy. Pulling out a hankerchief of his own, he wiped the blood from her neck that had dripped from the back of her head, "Are you going to be okay? shouldn't your wounds be healing on their own?" he questioned with a raised brow.

HE then bowed his head, he could only look at the ground as she expressed how sick and tired she was, "I'm sorry...." he said, speaking softly. He knew all to well what she was feeling, desperation, hopelessness, doom... etc, and it wasn't a good feeling.. to end it all seemed more logical, but he wouldn't let her go that far, and he'd hope that she didn't think that way. "I can't say ive battled those kinda of demons, but I have battled demons of my own. Years ago I was forced to leave everything I loved and knew, to follow these two brothers, who forced me to kill villages, women and children even.. and since I didn't have the heart to kill women and children, they did it, and then they beat me to an inch of my life and forced me to continue my work with them before I even healed, and one day... I ran with all the strength I had... I stopped by an ocean, I laid down and propped my head on a rock, I was intoxicated by the ocean, I had never seen the ocean before, and I didn't realize that the two brothers had found me, they threw me over the edge of the bank that I was on, and their blood was in my system.. they turned me into a demon that even I feared... blood was my source of food... so never feel alone... I share your pain"

Erythreus finished, and gazed into the her beautiful blue eyes, he was pained that a girl like this was so broken. He wanted to fix her, and so he would try. "I shared that with you, just so you'd know.. you're not alone" he stated, showing off a faint smile. He listened to her story, it saddened him, but it wasn't out of his reach.. not many things were these days. "I have an idea... but staying away from you isn't the idea" he stated, standing, he groaned slightly, his back had the majority of the wounds but he'd be fine, he was only concerned for her.. and he thought he knew why she couldn't use her gifts as she put it. "IF you can stand, stand.. I think I know why you can't do anything with your gifts..."

His mouth fell open, as she limped away, and he let her get into a distance before following her... shaking his head he made his way to her, which led him to her home. As she opened the door, he couldn't help but be the typical man, but he cleared his throat, and tore his gaze away from her almost naked body... noticing that her wounds were still open though, he sighed ... something wasn't right with this girl, he was going to figure it out. She had no one, but she could count on him if nothing else... maybe in time, she would stop fighting that fact, and let it be. Clearing his throat again, he smirked "certainly.. go do your thing... ill just be here.. exisiting" he said, looking over to the piano.. he couldn't help himself.

"I sure will" he said with a bright dazzling smile. Something Erythreus hid from everyone was his talents with any musical instrument out there, walking to the piano he sat down, put his earbuds in, playing a song .. in hopes of cheering her up, Pink - What about us ... Ery's Piano cover he didn't do this for literally anyone, not even his aliward family knew of these talents, but there was a lot about this girl that put him at ease and at the same time scared the hell out of him... but the song was chill, and thats what she needed, she needed to breathe and realize that she wasn't in this alone.

Sitting at the piano, which was probably the only thing she had in her living room aside from a sectional couch and a huge tv, he smiled back at her, and turned his frame to look at her. "What do I want to know?... so much woman, so much" he said shaking his head, before going over to grab the drink she poured for him, "Thank you" he said, and walked back to the piano, before playing one more song, he needed to talk to her. IT had been one hell of a night for them. She was fractured, not just psychically. "Do they bother you here... in your home? you stay alone don't you?" he asked, worried about her well being once he left... if he could even do that. "Why you? is there something you haven't told me?" he then asked, "I think if you walk out into that yard, and put on the fearless face that I know you have, and clear your head, of all things bad, those wings will detach from those scars, and you'll soar above the clouds, like the angel you seem to be... you can't use your gifts because these demons have paralyzed your mental state and psychical state.. don't let them" he said before turning to the piano.

Jojo - Save my soul was the next thing he played... but this time he wasn't playing just to cheer her up, he was sending a message within a song. "I'll save you Siobhan... every time they come for you.. im gonna be right there" he said, and began playing, smiling because he knew his purpose in life, and when he was faced with a girl like this, it made his purpose worth it.. it made "life" worth it all. "You aren't fragile... you're strong, you have lived through so much... now it's time to live through this Bo... hope you don't mind, but that's what im calling you" he said, chuckling some... and continued with the piano. As the song ended, he joined her on the couch, and took a sip of his drink, "Not even my Aliward family knows I can play a piano... im always so stuck in my own head, thank you for pulling me out" he said, looking into those big blue eyes of hers once more, you could see the world through them.

Siobhan sat on the couch as he played the song, she hadn’t touched the piano in what felt like years and Isaac had gotten it for her birthday in hopes she would return living with him but after what happened she couldn’t risk his life. Her mind drifted to what he had told before she walked off and left him, about him being a vampire and how he became so, and became an aspect of death, she wandered to herself if that made him the grim reaper or something. She was so unfamiliar with the supernatural world being thrown into it just a few months ago she felt as if she was still learning about all kinds of things. If he was the grim reaper should she fear him or accept death. She wondered why he was here why he came after her when she clearly didn’t want his help. At this point she had poured herself another drink and stared at it until the song came to an end.

Her eyes raised from the glass as he picked up his and walked back to the Piano, she was quiet as he asked her question after question chewing on her lip, until her gaze returned to him. She just stared at him before lifting the glass to her lips and taking another sip. She sighed softly as he began to play another song she felt her eyebrows twitch together. He wasn’t the first to say he wanted to save her but the fact he said every time he would come for her it felt like he was telling the truth. She cleared her throat as she watched his back listening to him. When he called her Bo she snorted and then covered her mouth that was a new one that was for sure “Bo? That's a new one.” she question him then shook her head as he finished out the song and then moved to sit next to her.

“You play beautifully, but  you know my name, even have a nickname for me already,” a smirk played on her lips as she shook her head. “ but you have not told me your name.” she said looking over to him with her blue eyes that flashed purple. She sat the empty glass down as her eyes left his as she thought back on his questions. “They have bothered me where I lived before with my boss Isaac, they almost killed him, I packed up and left finding this place with the help of another friend and have locked myself away since. A Diviner placed a protection spell over the house so I would be safe but lately it doesn’t feel like it is working. They stalk outside waiting.” she said and as if on cue there was a roar in the distant, making her sigh as she relaxed in the couch placing her leg out wincing at how swollen it was.

“I don’t think I am broken because of the demons, I have slayen many. Its my inner demons I can’t seem to stop.” she muttered out as she looked to her hands where the scars from her nails had been reopened that night.  “I was broken long before my Nephilim abilities came into play,” The warm lightheadedness had overtaken her mind making her open up slightly to him “I was given away at birth to the Leslie family, Sophia, Steven, and their son Stephen. They took me in and from the moment they had me they were on the run, becoming nomads living off the land trying to keep me safe.” she said as she kept her eyes on her hands “I am the daughter of archangels, I should be more powerful than others, but I'm not” she said and  her body began to shake. “Sophia saw an angel who need to learn to be perfect in every way not act human at all, when I wasn’t perfect she would punish me.” she said as her hands tighten into fist once again digging her nails into them and then began to feel uneasy so she stood up from the couch, unknown to her, her wings had expanded pure white with teal tips as she continued to talk. “Steven saw a child who need to be a child and he taught me many things, so many great things, he was a great father.” her fingers pressed to the necklace around her neck

“And Stephen the boy I thought was my brother all my life was my partner in crime he understood me” She sighed as she began to pace back and forth the living room bottle in hand as she paced “I don’t remember much from the time before being locked away on the farm other than this diner we would go to all the time, there was a boy who was the same age as me, Jack,” she sighed out his name “I fell head over heels for Jack and when I was twelve I snuck off to meet him at the diner. We shared a kiss that night but I was caught by my father and I had always thought I did something wrong, until recently.” she grimest  looking to the ground “I had no clue that Jack was a demon, the first demon that tried to kill me, not until recently when he came back into my life and…” she swallowed hard she didn’t want to admit outloud what he did to her that was the beginning of her spiral into darkness she sat on the piano bench her back to him “ He kidnapped me, posion me and r-raped me.” She said softly as her finger pressed down one of the keys and she took a long swig of from the bottle. “My parents locked me away because they knew Jack was evil they kept me in the dark and naive that there was good in the world.” she closed her eyes against the tears that dare to spill over.

She was quiet for a long moment, reaching up wiping a tear that feel down her cheek. “I don’t know if I have left anything out.” she said as she cleared her throat and sat the bottle on the ground as she tapped a few keeps and hung her head as she let out a shaky breath, before she turned and looked to him once again with her blue eyes the walls she had kept up were crumbling around her and she wasn’t sure she felt about that, she need to get the attention of her, even for a moment. “So your a vampire?” she said as she stood back up her wings folding in and disappearing before she moved sitting back down next to him. “How does a vampire turn into a dragon.” she asked and then looked to him reaching over touching with wound that was closing on his head slowly “Do you need to drink to heal?” she asked gently,” It’s the least I could do since you saved me.” she said as she held her wrist to him.

Ailward AspectPermalink Reply by ✓ Erythreus Ailward ~Admin~ on December 14, 2017 at 16:36

HE was to drawn to her, for his own good... if the aspect of death could die, he'd die saving her, and that scared the hell out of him. All he could wonder was why, why did he feel this way? Was it duty calling and making sure he was fufilling his purpose in life? Or was it more? He was conflicted at best. HE had finished playing his songs, and as he sat by her he snickered, as she snorted... it was cute. Ery sighed... he had to snap out of it. HE could tell that Bo didn't know much about the supernatural.. was she a new Nephilim? Most Nephilim's gained their wings by age 18, or even earlier... or was she that young? He knew nothing except for the magnet that seemed to be pulling him in.

Scared of the truth but tired of the lies, Erythreus wasn't far fetched from being a normal person when he wanted to be, but being the Aspect of Death .. he could only act one way. He chuckled when she finally spoke "IT suits you though, Bo" he said, smirking. It was nice to hear her voice after everything, only to confirm that she hadn't gone into shock. "You're a strong woman... you know that right?" he asked, knowing she'd probably just brush it off. "And thank you, it's one of many hidden talents I have... I don't like compliments, so I barely play instruments" he stated, gazing to her from the corner of his dark-set optics.

Listening to her explain about how there was a protection spell placed on her house, to keep her safe, but she felt like it wasn't working .. he huffed. Perhaps she didn't need to be here alone, but his next suggestion would have definitely earned him a slap through the face, so he kept his mouth shut, it would come about soon enough with how he was feeling anyways. "Where is Isaac now? i'm sorry you've endured so much... you don't deserve it... none of us do... we just have to fight... but you aren't going to do it alone anymore... you';ll end up dying if you continue fighting those bastards alone, and I can't have that happen.. you can't die" he stated.

Being the Aspect of Death, it was his job to protect the dead, not to make sure he kept someone alive, so that was that... this wasn't him fufilling his purpose, this was him falling in to deep... but it was also him being ... human, you could say. "I'll have guards outside of your home every night then... no need for you to fear stepping out your front door, don't worry, they'll be discrete" he said, knowing she would decline his decision on having a guard or two watch over her home while she slept at night. "Inner demons... so slay them too... youve slayed far worse, as it seems" he stated, glancing down to her sowllen leg... "because if you don't .. you'll never be able to enjoy what you long for most, and that is being what you are"

Erythreus smiled, she was finally opening up to him.. but her story, he remember the same about his own life, the nomads, living off land with the two brothers who forced him to kill innocent people, it still crippled him.. but he masked it with banter and arrogance. "Bo you're not broken... you have to search deep within yourself and figure out what's hurting you so much, and let go of it... and maybe then you will be free, you'll be the powerful beauty that I already see in you... and this...." he said, pausing, holding his hands under neath hers, looking down to her palms.. "stop that" he said simply, but he figured she done it to numb everything else .. demons and what not, he'd probably do something similar if it was him.

"You can be more powerful than others, you just have to figure it out, Bo... whatever is inside of you, let it go... seriously." he said, pouring himself another drink and knocking it back in one gulp. "The daughter of archangels, sounds like a movie" he said, chuckling some, before laying his head back looking up at the ceiling and shaking his head. As she continued speaking, Ery's eyes grew wide, he was right, and for that he was very proud of himself, but wouldn't say nothing, instead he continued to let her talk, somehow wanting to get her outside, what he saw before him was... amazing, white feathered wings.... it was a sight he'd never seen before.

Erythreus listened until he heard the word rape.... it almost sounded faint to him, as he became light headed and angered, more than he ever had in his life, this pissed him off more than those bastard brothers did who beat him every day and forced him to slaughter women and children... but it was exactly what had her so down, it kept her in a paralytic state and there for she couldn't use her wings, but seeing them expand kept a smile on his face, although he felt rage like never before. Despite the fact that her wings were out of their scars, and she could probably kick his ass right now, he walked up behind her, plaing his hands onto her shoulders, he leaned down.

"It's okay Bo... you're free now... free of that bastard, he will never touch you again, I promise" ERy whispered softly. HE had seen a lot of evil in his thousand and some years of life, but that was beyond evil... to take a womans innocence like that... he was sickened at the thought and wished he could wrap his hands around Jack's throat, and send him to hell himself. Reaching around, he wiped the tears away... sighing deeply. His dead heart felt even deader now. As she turned, he was still in front of her, and reach down for the bottle taking a long swig himself. Erythreus nodded, "I am... I was torn from my family, and everything that I knew .. threw over a bank by the ocean .. I had vampire blood in my system when i died, and here I am" he stated, trying to shift her mind to something other than that horrible prick who wronged her.

He was then asked the question he dreaded answering the most, he was risking his entire family, but she had shared so much with him, it was only fair to do the same. "I'm much more than a vampire, I am the aspect of death... after I died and came back as a vampire, there was a group of people like me who lived shitty lives... 7 others actually, they called themselves the Aliwards, we all had to die once more, and when we came back, the "Gods" tasked us each with a mission, mine being protector of death, my staff, grants me the power to turn into a dragon to do exactly what I did when I slayed your demon" he tried to explain, but clearly wasn't drunk enough for this conversation. "I was spared by the Gods to restore balance, so that the supernatural could co-exist here" he added and took another swig from the bottle.

"Ive nearly forbid myself of drinking human blood, but.." he sighed, he shook his head and turned away for a moment before looking back to her. "I can't... but thank you, it was kind of you... ill heal slowly, but ill heal, thats all that matters. Why would you risk it?" he asked, furrowing his brows "IF I was to drink from you and lost control, then what?" he asked, his fangs bared without realizing it, he hadn't drank from the vein in years.. and if he did not, he was afraid he wouldn't stop. But, without being able to help it, he'd already sank his fangs into her neck, not her wrist which is what she had offered, and after a second or two he pulled back.. "Bo..." he said... stumbling back some more with his hand to his mouth "Im so sorry.." he said ... frightened of his own actions ... "I should go.." he said feeling ashamed, not even able to look at her right now.

Siobhan couldn’t quiet read his emotions he smiled with her but was he truly happy just being in the same space of her. She sighed softly as he told her she was strong, “Sometimes I don’t want to be strong, I am tired of being strong.” she said as he body shook slightly and looked away from him “He is safe, he gave me the piano for my twenty-first birthday this year.” she looked to the Piano once again. “He lives in a penthouse in the city, calls and text every day asking me to come home.” she frowned deeply before shaking her head “At some point a long time ago I thought I welcomed death and yet I still fight.” she was talking more to herself then him at that point as her blue orbs avoided his dark ones for a moment.

“Why can’t you have me die?” she asked looking to him searching his eyes “What makes me so much better?” She asked as she watched his face closely “Anytime there has been a we there has always been someone who got hurt. I am tired of others getting hurt over me.I won’t have it.” she said sternly as she looked away from him rolling her eyes “No guards.” She said and then sighed “I am sure we both know inner demons are much harder to fight then real demons,” She sighed softly “And what is that I long for?” she asked she wanted to know the answer because honestly she had lost herself.

“I am broken...been that way since before activating.” she muttered as she looked to her hands as his hands came under them and she frowned deeply “I don’t know how.” she admitted out to him as she let out a shaky breath looking to him “I have done it since I was a child, as a way to control my anger, then it just turned into a way to make myself numb against the pain, though I learned alcohol works better for the numbing.” she pulled her hands away from his. She stayed quiet as he spoke of her life sounding like a movie “One hell of a movie thrown from the heavens not to know how to be what you were born to be. Fucking motion picture.” she muttered under her breath.

When his hand came to her shoulder she jumped she hadn’t let many people touch her and he was a stranger but his words were soothing “He is still out there.” she said lowly “I don’t know how to handle it if I ever see him again.” she said as her hand came to his on her shoulder and she closed her eyes feeling a weight lift slightly as she admitted out loud her fear. She felt his hand wipe the tear and she looked to him. “Aspect of death?” she question and then asa he explained she nodded softly “So like a modern days Hades but both on earth and the underworld?” she asked as she leaned her head to the side. “If you are death, then why are you trying to keep me alive?” her blue eyes searched his dark ones.

She had offered her blood to him as kind of a repayment but when he said that he wouldn’t asking why she would risk it. “I think you doubt yourself just as much as I do to myself. I am sure you would stop yourself.” she muttered and then sighed softly “If you lost control I would die, but I could accept death at your hands.” she said as she moved closer as she watched his fangs. “But I don’t think that will happen.” she said in a whisper before feeling his hands bunch on her oversized shirt and pulling closer as his fangs sank into her neck. She couldn’t help the moan that escaped her lips, the bite wasn’t painful like she thought it would be. His face buried into her neck made her eyes drift close but the moment was over as quickly as it happened.

Her hand caught his as he went to make his escape “Hey. I’m fine” She said as she moved in front of him as she placed her finger under his chin making him look into her blue eyes as she offered him a half smile. Her hand moved cupping his neck as her thumb ran over his jaw line softly “Honestly it didn’t hurt, couldn’t help the moan, sorry about that.” she chuckled once and then moved her other hand up to his neck holding it while her thumbs ran along his jaw “We all have moments of weakness when tempted. I am sorry I had no idea you had such fears about hurting me.” She kissed his cheek softly before pulling back.

“I won’t have a guard outside of my home, but if you wish to stay the night, the couch is free.” she said as she yawned lightly and limped over to her bedroom and picked up a pile of blankets and tossed them at him. “We will talk more in the morning.” she said as she looked to him and went to her room leaving the door open as she laid down on the bed and propped her leg up as she looked out to see if he would stay or not. She locked eyes with him before she rolled over and buried her face in the pillow.

Sleep over took her shortly it didn’t take much after a night like tonight it was staying asleep that was a problem. The nightmares over took her mind she was back in that moment with Jack begging him to not take her innocence “No stop, please.” she whimpered out as she rolled from one side of the bed to the other and then finally shot up she was covered in sweat as she pulled her knees up to her chest and began to sob into her knees, she rarely cried anymore but it was as if she was back in that moment with Jack and it was to much for her take. She panted out shaking trying to calm down but the anger and fear running through her made her wounds heal as if a way to protect her. She whimpered softly into her knees.

Ery listened intently, he shook his head and took another swig from the bottle "then don't be strong, you don't always have to be strong... sometimes giving into your emotions is all we can do" he said, but was he really referring to her right now? A lingering sigh left his whiskey stained lips as he looked at her, gazing into her bright blue eyes. The hold she had on him, would probably be the death of him, but then again, he was Death it's self,. so it didn't even matter to him.

Erythreus nodded, "that was kind of him, I love the piano.. I get lost in it really" he admitted, something he didn't or wouldn't tell anyone else. "So home... he wants you to live with him?" Erythreus asked, because she truly didn't need to live alone, even if he didn't like the idea of her living with another guy, one who couldn't slay her demons and keep her safe. But what did he know really? "You welcomed death, but you keep fighting.. if you think about it, letting me into your home, you once again have welcomed Death.. but im not the death you should fear, only the death you welcomed long ago... I'll rid that of your life" he stated, wanting to give her a break on fighting, he was sure she was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

"Bo, please don't ask me that and expect me to answer it honestly" he stated when she asked why couldn't he let her die. His answer would have been selfish, and wouldn't have had shit to do with his real reason of not wanting to let her die. Sure he was still doing his job as an aspect, but he'd done taken it a bit further. "What makes you better?" he asked and sat the bottle down, sitting on the piano bench with her "you haven't got to live your life, and you do have so much of one to live still yet... what makes you better is that if you die, those demons win... you're beautiful, smart, and you do have your whole life ahead of you, you have gifts that you havent even gotten to experience... and ... I guess I kind of sort of like you a little" he said, smirking at her.

Looking to her, he then frowned and shook his head "Im pretty much unkillable.. so I won't get hurt, not ever... but I will protect you.. and those who are coming from the underworld after you, im tasked with making sure they stay just where they are... so you wil get through this with me around, like it or not angel face" he stated, looking down to his legs, closing his eyes, he inhaled deeply... his legs were a reminder of the two brothers sceaming that his legs still worked after being beaten to an inch of his life. HE shook those thoughts and huffed. "True, they are Bo, but all you have to do is let go of all the things that are holding you down from the past... your wings came out when you vented... so thats the key to being all that you wanna be" he stated, remembering the sight of her feathery wings coming to life, something that captivated him, it captivated him like the ocean did that he was thrown to, to die and come back as a Vampire.

To her question he smiled "happiness, freedom from the things holding you down, someone to lean on" he replied to her question about what she longed for, he could see it all over her, but she refused to let those feelings in. "Well you may feel broken, but you wont be forever darlin' time will heal ... even if you don't let me in, time will heal you, I promise... but I do want to help you.. I feel like I have to.. ,I feel.... I dont know what I feel" he said scratching the back of his neck. This annoyed him greatly. He looked down to her hands again as she spoke of how digging her nails into her palms helped numb the pain, he sighed at her "then drink if you must, don't scar your skin... you're beautiful... it's sad to see you do such things" he stated, with a disappointed expression adorning his face.

"It's okay... say what you feel" he stated, noticing she'd mutter things under hear breath. HE listened to her speak about her fear of Jack "don't worry, ill slay that bastard too, if there's someway to track him, ill get it done, I have a guard who can do just that, hes a pro... feel free Bo, I guess thats all I want for you right now, is to feel free of all that has you held down" he said, removing his hands from her shoulders, seeing that she was a bit jumpy and he could understand given what that creep had done to her. "You won't see him again.." he added before she began to question him. "Yes both here and the underworld, kind of like hell" he then almost felt talkless to her next question, it puzzled him also. "Perhaps its not me doing my job with trying to keep you alive, maybe the reason is selfish... and I won't admit that right now missy" he stated, smirking once more, patting her shoulder.

His eyes widened to the next thing she said. "Why at my hands? I couldn't kill you, i couldn't live with myself if I did" he said, hanging his head down, trying to figure out what all of this meant. The next moment between them felt more personal than it did dangerous, his fangs in her neck caused lust for him, and the moan from her thin laced lips made it even worse, he nearly lost control but thankful that he pulled back in time. She would heal... very slowly, but he still felt ten million emotions about what he had just done

HE didn't know why, or how, but she felt safe with him, even after that. "Thank you for the repayment but you should never trust a vampire, if I wasn't the aspect of death, your blood would have crippled me, Nephilim's have that advantage over Vampires, keep that in mind" he stated, to give her a tip about those who would ever try to feed from her. He'd keep her safe, no matter whatm even if he had just fed from her neck. "What if I hadnt stopped myself?!?!?!" he shouted at her, angry at himself more so than her though.

Ery was ready to just run away now, but she spoke of being fine "Im so sorry" he spoke again, apologizing again, because he didn't want her blood, it was pure lust... he just wanted..... her. He froze in time when she touched his jaw and ran her fingers up his jaw line, kissing his cheek didn't suffice in this moment, not with how he felt right now, and he was about to be a selfish bastard but he didn't care... she could slap his face, it would only sting for a second. His hand came up behind her neck, and his lips connected to hers, for a moment he kissed her, not knowing if she would return that kind of affection. For Erythreus it had been years since he felt the affection of a woman, but with just her fingers on his jaw, it sent him over the edge.

Pulling back only a little he placed his forehead against hers, and looked into those bright blue eyes again "forgive me for that" he said, half smiling... amused, ashamed, trapped by her... what the hell was happening. "I did ... I was more than afraid of hurting you... but then again, you weren't afraid at all.. I guess you're right.. temptation is a bitch" he said chuckling, but still he waited for a slap in the face. As she then offered him the couch, he accepted. He didn't wanna leave her, he wouldn't "no guards, I promise. that is if you still want me to stay" he stated, after him kissing her the way he had.

"Okay then, go rest, ill be up if you need me, im right here" he stated, he definitely wouldn't intrude her bedroom, but he did hope she'd leave the door open. Ery then settled onto the couch, with what was left of the whiskey "Goodnight Bo" he said in a soft tone, but it was only about an hour in, and she was screaming, he ran to her, as fast as he could, and slid himself in the bed beside of her, holding her close as she latched onto her knees "Jack isn't here, it's only me... you're okay... wake up Bo... you have to let go... we will go somewhere tomorrow, I have a corny idea, but it might help, lay back down... im staying right here" he stated, and held her close, and he would do so all through the night, to keep her warm, and to make her feel safe. Jack wouldn't get to her while he was there, but strangely he heard voices in her room, he ignored them... and stayed awake .. ready to slay whoever came for her,

Siobhan looked into his eyes as he pulled away he didn’t lose control that was what matter though. As she held his neck in her hands, her thumbs running along his jawline slowly offering a soft half heartedly chuckle “Right no more offering my blood to vampires, it must be worst since I am the purest of the purebloods.” she sighed softly and  ran her fingers through her golden locks when she pulled back “But you did, you should be proud of that Deathy Poo.” she chuckled softly as he made a face towards her “you gave me one. You deserved one back.”  She thought for a long moment that her blood could become addictive to others like him but then she asked something absent mindedly “Could you become addicted to my blood?” her fingers touch the bite mark on her neck and then she shook her head back and forth. “I’m sorry you don’t have to answer that. She offered him a soft smile.

“Don’t apologize you have done nothing wrong.” she said just before his hands came behind her neck his lips met hers they were warmer than she thought they would be. As his mouth moved against hers, she reacted as she kissed him back her mouth moving with his slowly for the long moment that he held her there against his lips, when he let go of her lips her eyes fluttered open as a blush grew across her cheeks and chest. His forehead pressed to hers she didn’t know what to say or do but he seemed truly happy in that moment so she smiled softly before she took a step back from him clearing her throat.

“Temptation, such a bitch,” she nodded and agreement before turning away from him feeling the blush on her face burning still “Yes I will just um go to bed.” she muttered out bumping into the wall. “Good night Death.” she muttered back as she laid there. The nightmares had been haunting her every night, she didn’t get much sleep because of them and as she woke up screaming she had forgotten he was there. When his arms came around her body she almost jumped out of them before she heard his voice. She turned moving into his lap as she sobbed into his chest, as he laid back with her in his arms, she kept her face into his chest. She manage to sob herself back to sleep while her arms stayed wrapped over him losely.

The voices filling the room sound as a male who once she was asleep once again let out a chuckle and was gone. For hours she slept on him and when she woke up again she slowly moved away from him to make sure not to wake him for his eyes were closed and she thought he was asleep. She looked him over before stand up running a hand through her crazy hair as she moved from the bedroom. She sat at the piano once again and sighed out. She had let someone see her at her weakest moment and she wasn’t sure how she felt about it.

span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">She closed her eyes as her fingers rested on the keys and she began to play and sing at the same time. As the song came to an End she leaned her head down and took a deep breath, calming her nevers hoping she didn’t wake him at the moment. When she opened her blue orbs looking over to her room she saw him standing there staring at her. “I am sorry I didn’t mean to wake you.” She said as she stood up and walked towards the kitchen. “I will make some coffee and then we can talk.” she said over her shoulder as she began to busy herself in the kitchen.</span></spShe closed her eyes as her fingers rested on the keys and she began to play and sing at the same time.

Honestly she was scared to face him, in that moment she felt weak, and she hated feeling weak. She turned on the coffee pot and then made pancakes quickly before sitting the plate down in the center of the table as she made two mugs of coffee and then sat at the table and looked up to him he had been quiet for a while now, “Well come join me.” she said as she poured syrup over them before she took a bite out of them chewing slowly before she spoke again “you said something about taking me somewhere last night?” she asked.

Erythreus, the Aspect of Death... only care about one thing right now, keeping someone alive, did that come with the job he was tasked with? Probably not. Did he care? Definitely not. Not when it came to this particular woman. He was still mad at himself, no matter how much she convinced him that he did nothing wrong. But, being mad at himself seemed to have faded away with just the touch of her fingertips, sending him into a place where he wasn't sure she'd be comfortable with him or not. But as her soft lips interacted with his, he could only grin against her lips... he felt like he'd been casted away to heaven .. even if it was only for a short moment. A feeling he hadn't felt in years, and years for him meant a long time being as old as he actually was.

He offered back the same soft smile she gave him, he was.... happy. Not brooding and being in his own head, never actually happened with anyone, no one ever pulled Ery out of his own state of mind, until Siobhan... it was nice, but scary as hell at the same time. He'd probably go on a killing spree if this was all just to hurt him, but then again, she did tell him to leave her alone in the beginning of their 'bump in' with one another... but he'd been sensing death around her before he had even met her, one of the perks of being what he was. He bit down on his lower lip, having x-rated things in mind, but he couldn't ... not now... it was to soon. There was still so much to know about her, and he'd take all the time she needed for her to let him in, and vise versa.

Tilting his head to the side at the nickname given to him, he could only chuckle "Deathy poo? it's catchy... I think ill keep it" he smirked, shaking his head at her. She not only had the face of an angel, but she had a soul, and a personality that matched... he enjoyed all qualities of her equally, not to mention, she also had an amazing figure, one he glanced at as often as he could when she wasn't paying attention. "True... yours is way more epic than mine" he then said, showing off a pouty face, playfully. To her question, Erythreus rubbed the back of his neck and then ran his palms over his face "It's not your blood... didn't even want it Bo, it's you... I can become addicted to you, and that scares me" he said truthfully, not showing off any signs of being playful or joking about it.

"It;s fine I wanted to answer it, because you needed to know" he then said, when she apologized for asking the question she asked. "Fine, no more apoligies tonight, ill make up for it in the morning, when I take you where I wanna take you" he said, smiling at her, he couldn't wait for morning, because what he had planned he felt would really help her with the monsters she was dealing with. A moment of silence settled between them, as both of them were clueless on what to say or do in that moment after they'd shared a kiss. Ery cleared his throat when she said temptation was a bitch, "Indeed ... it appears to be my weakness.. with you" he said, rolling his sky blue optics at her. Erythreus chuckled when she said she would just go to bed, and bumped the wall before making it to her room, the kiss had them both distraught, but without a word he nodded.

After having to go to her bedroom though, things seemed even realer for him. "It;s okay ive got you" he said, speaking softly as she attempted to jump out of his arms. He shook his head, he would have his hands full .. that was one thing he did know for sure right now. For a second, he didn't know what to do, as she sobbed into his chest, he hadn't shown affection to anyone in years on top of years, so this was a challenge but he did his best, and brought his hand to her back, running it up and down her spine gently, massaging her neck and shoulders as he did so, hoping to comfort her in her time of pain.

"I won't let anyone, or anything hurt you.. if you don't believe anything I say... believe that" he said, not sure if kissing her was a bright idea, she had a lot going on as it was, did she need to focus of a man in her life? She needed someone to save her... but then he came back to the conclusion that all he wanted was her. Erythreus let her sob and confide in him, he was happy she felt comfort with him there, and as she fell back to sleep, he finally closed his eyes, though being a vampire made it hard for him to fall asleep with her, instead he just kept his eyes closed and rested with her in his arms. Ery kept his eyes closed, only peeking out of one of them to make sure she was okay as she moved away from him, he stayed in place, giving her space for a bit... he smiled when he heard the piano.

HE found his way back to the living room, and walked up behind her. "You play really good, do you play a lot? and don't be sorry.. Vampires really don't sleep... rest is more like it, but then, we really don't get that often either, so your bed was kind of nice" he said chuckling, it had been a while since he'd actually laid in a bed and just rested. Especially with a female in his arms. Once she said coffee, he was all for that... Despite being a Vampire, and the Aspect of Death he still enjoyed normal things every now and then, coffee was one of them. Nodding her way, he smiled "go on then, ill be right here" he said, running a hand through his messy hair.

HEaring her voice call out for him to join her, Ery did just that... "Thank you, for the coffee..." he said, in an odd fashion... he himself didn't feel like facing her, but he did anyways. "Yes drink your coffee and get ready, we have somewhere to be" he then said, quickly drinking his own mug, feeling refreshed as he drained it to the last drop.Using Vamp speed, he appeared behind her and smirked, moving her hair to one side of her neck, gently kissing the other side, before removing his hand away from her neck, before temptation played with him again. "You drive me a bit crazy, if you haven't noticed" he chuckled and shook his head.

Erythreus had planned out a special place to take her, one he hadn't visited since he'd been in Evermore, only once, but he didn't stay long because of old memories. Taking her to the bank, where the ocean sat just below it, was what he wanted, and though it reminded him of the day he was thrown over one just like it, he had seen her wings while she told him the deepest darkest parts of her life, today he would send her sailing .. she'd have to use her wings, or splatter, and he knew she was strong enough to do it.

If he could help her gain her gift of flying , he'd be happy, she'd be happy.. and thats what he wanted for her right now. Freedom. The ability to use her gifts. Erythreus stood by the door waiting on her to finish and get dressed, he was ready to see the ocean again, only for the second time in his life.

Siobhan looked to the piano one more time “I use to play every single day.” she said and then sighed softly and nodded “Well I am glad not to wake you then?” she question her phrasing before shaking her head and walking to the kitchen, as everything was done and she was sitting there eating the pancakes she was lost in her thought for a moment. Before she looked to him downing his coffee she took a sip from hers and chuckled “you will burn your tongue if you keep that up.” she said as she then sat the mug down.

When he used his vampire speed coming behind her, she jumped her body stiffened as a normal and then relaxed as he moved her hair softly, his movements were not rough like Jack’s had been thought being touched was still a fear of hers. She closed her eyes as his hand held her jaw softly and then his mouth moved along her neck. He had spoke of how temptation had been a bitch when it came to her the night before and yet here his mouth running along the very spot he had bite that night causing her to shiver, as her hand moved to hsi hair holding his head there before he finally pulled away she was light head and shook her head and blushed brightly again finishing her coffee.

“Yeah let me get ready and we can leave.” she cleared her throat and then stood up and walked to her room pushing the door but it didn’t close fully, if he watched through the door he would have seen the marks all along her tender flesh bruises, scratches, and many more painful marks. She pulled out her night clothes and walked around her room naked for a moment looking for her brush, then brushed out her hair and pulled it into a ponytail. She was thankful that it was winter it meant she could wear outfits that covered the marks along her body, without strange looks. She pulled the turtleneck over her body after placing a bra on. Finding her jeans, she realized her door was half way open and blushed as she looked down.

But she picked her head up and picked up her phone tucking it in her pocket and made her way towards the door and saw him standing there as she cleared her throat “ready to go?” She asked as she ran her fingers through her pony tail after she placed her coat on “Come on we can take my car.” she said as she pulled her keys off the book and moved with him to the garage and opened it, there sat a few different vehicles a truck, a few motorcycles and finally a 75 fastback mustang. She tossed him the keys as she walked to the passenger side “Lead the way Deathy.” she said climbing into the car and waited on him

He glanced at her scars, where her wings detached from, when they would. Listening to her speak about how she played everyday. "What happened with that?" he asked, referring to her saying, she used to play everyday. HE shook his head after they'd gotten to the kitchen and she said she was glad not to wake him, chuckling he nodded to her "I don't think that'll ever happen, I don't remember the last time I slept" he said, chuckling once more. Vampires and their inability to actually sleep didn't make sense to him, they worked their asses off, well, some of them did while others lived in luxury and did absolutely nothing.

After another weak moment with her, he smirked "you know, blushing looks cute on you.. you do it a lot" he said, winking at her. Assuming it was his ... well he didn't know what it was, he just knew his touch had an effect on her that she didn't speak about, perhaps she still was trying to figure out how she felt for him, as he was her. Which only brought him back to the very fact that he did know one thing. He wanted her, his needs however, still remained undetermined, because to say he needed her... was him confirming his feelings for her. "Im not Jack... someday Bo, you wont fear my touch... or being in the presence of a male, at all" he assured and let her finish her coffee.

"Sure thing angel" he then said, to her comment about getting dressed so they could leave. HE followed, but not to watch her, only realizing as he stood by the living room door way, that her bedroom door was cracked. He couldn't gather in his head what he'd seen, the scars, bruises, and marks that were all over her body .. he assumed it could only be one person who had done that. "Bastard" he said, as he turned away, he wouldn't intrude her privacy.. "y... yeah, um .. yeah let's do that" he said chuckling. "Don't worry, I only saw the good parts" he teased, not wanting her to feel a certain way over her marked body. "But don't hide your body Bo, it's beautiful either way, no more turtle necks, K? k.." he then said, and parted her home with her.

Shocked as he handed her own keys over, he grinned, "lets go Angel face" he then climbed into the drivers side, only starting the engine after making sure she had got in and shut the door, they were both immortal he didn't care about seatbelts, or breaking the law. Which meant Ery drove 80 all the way there, the need for speed? Perhaps. OR maybe he just wanted to get her somewhere, and teach her something. Arriving in no time, he smirked. But he stopped dead in his tracks, seeing two faded images of those who threw him over a bank much like this one, he fought demons of his own secretly. "come on" he said simply, shaking his head, his fists balled up. And his face, that of a true Vampires right now. "Sorry, let's just keep going" he said, until he made it to just the edge of the bank.

When he made sure she had followed him, he jerked her to him, kissing her lips in case this went wrong. "don't hate me" he added before shoving her, "Bo use your goddamn wings, or you'll die!" he began breathing heavily, not wanting to see her die the same way he had... but would she even die? She was immortal, this was only to scare her enough, to watch her fly, something she'd been crippled from doing.
