Kuri curled her legs up onto the bed and let her wings drape behind her again. She flinched a little as Tora suddenly slapped Valken, but seeing how she was acting made her smile a little herself. Even if he wasn't in grave danger or anything she didn't want him looking out for her at his own expense. A yawn escaped her while she as distracted and she hastily moved a hand to cover her mouth. She was tired, that was evident, but she didn't want to fall asleep yet. It would feel like a waste of time if she just slept now when she'd far rather be spending that time awake.

Valken rubbed the back of his head like a child. He looked up at tora and gave her a small smile letting her knew he thank her for worring about him as well. He looked back to a kuri and spoke in a soft voice.
"Get some rest little one" he placed his hand on hers and looked at her, the look on his facing saying he'd be okay but he wanted her resting.

"Okay," Kuri sighed in defeat, knowing that she couldn't really argue when she was telling him to look after himself. "Can I tell you...why I was out there though? I really need to get it off my chest and I don't want to leave it." Her wings fluttered a little in nervousness as she spoke, still unsure how Valken would react t what she needed to tell him. More importantly she needed to have someone else’s opinion on the matter and at this point he was one of the few people that she trusted enough. She crawled a under the bed covers, making good on her promise to get some rest after she had told him what she wanted to.

Tora nodded agreeing with Valken on this.
" There will be plenty of time to play later. Valken too, I have plenty of blood stored up so you can drink your fill from it. Anyway Lucfier and I can go on one of our little missions if we run out." She spoke with a little grin that was till Kuri spoke up once more. She quieted down at this. Letting the little one speak.

"I was out hunting, I generally take blood from people, not enough to kill them or anything. They're fine afterwards, they’re just groggy for a little while." Kuri, spoke, her wings fluttering again. "But tonight...I...I really tried to stop it but...I killed someone...not exactly pleasantly either." As she continued she lowered her eyes, not wanting to look at the two.
"The worst thing is...I think I...enjoyed it...I didn't want to do it but it felt...I...just think this body is...is...I hate it. It's stupid and I hate it, I didn't want this and now." She clung to the covers, curling up instinctively afraid of what the others were going to think. At the very least it was going to make her sound like some crazy dangerous person and, well if they kicked her out here and now she wouldn't blame them.

Tora sighed a bit heavy at this. It sounded all too familiar on many accounts. She walked over once more sitting on the edge of the bed with a soft, sad smile. Once more like the ghost they had originally met at the cemetery.
“Kuri, we all live with our demons. We have all killed. None of us is without sin. You should not hate yourself. Hate will only consume you until it pains you to be alive, and that is no way to live. You can only work harder, to atone for your sins.” She smiled gently to the upset girl.
“ You should ask Lucifer on that one. He knows all to well.” She told her. For once Lucifer had been badly injured while sparring with one of there brothers. In his weakened state he had become possessed by a evil demon who used his body to commit deadly sins, as well as give his curse to one that should of never been taken from his life. Though through the sin… love had been born, and Lucifer had to learn not to blame himself for his crimes while he did not have control of himself. Though it had only been a short time…. It was long enough for Lucifer to hate himself for it. Tora remembered the day so well that her and her love had free’d her brother from his containment of the demon’s hold. It only proved that no matter how old, how strong you are. Everyone has there moments of weakness.

Kuri stayed curled up but let herself look up at Tora as she spoke. She had evidently hit a soft spot for the vampire which made her feel worse about having told them even though her words were a little reassuring.
"But, what if I'm not supposed to be alive? I've...been dead before...I think. This isn't my life, I don't even know why I'm here, why I have these stupid wings. I...just don't want to hurt anyone." Her voice dropped to a far quieter tone as she continued, although that was the only real indicator of the toll the feelings were taking on her.
"I'm sorry," she sighed once more, "I keep forgetting that you're older than you look, you've probably had more than your fair share of sorrow." She tried to force a smile although she wasn't sure how convincing it was. "I'm just, not sure what I should be doing anymore." Shifting under the covers a little more, she did the best she could to cover her face. She felt tears welling up in her eyes and she didn't want to start balling like a little child in front of Valken or Tora again.

Tora gave a sigh at this. The girl sounded like most of there kind. She stood up for a moment walking a little bit away from the two.
“ Were similar more then you think.” Tora spoke softly as she started to wince in pain. She panted a bit before letting out a pain filled scream. Two large knots appeared on her back before suddenly two bone like structures broke free of her skin. Shredding the skin of the shoulder blade area as blood and flesh was dislodged a bit by the painful task. Flesh and nerves wrapped about suddenly upon the two bone forms upon her back. Quickly growing, contorting to the shape of two large wings. As this happened a soft light encased the appendages, before suddenly falling off like white tainted snow. Tora bit her lip ever so slightly. Fighting back the pain of the production of her black raven like wings. She turned with sadden look towards Kuri at this.
“ We all have our burdens to bear darling. Me and my kin don’t know why we are marked this way, we are not true vampires. We are dead and yet not, we have wings that others do not have. We don’t even remember who we truly are. “ She spoke softly as she moved back towards the bed with a graceful step. Taking to stroking the scared and saddened girl’s head even though she was trying to hide away from them.
“The only thing we can do, is to try to overcome whatever this darkness is and use it to protect those we care about. That’s all you can so as well Kuri. Try to fight the darkness, and live on. Even if it’s a unnatural life to protect those you care about. “ She told her though giving a sideways glance over to Valken. Not sure of his reaction to her change. Many vampires detested the original 13 of the night. They were seen as the dark heralds of death that had ended many lives through the spreading of there disease. While others worshipped them though these people were often weak, and not of there creation. People only wanting power out of death. She shook her head a bit closing her eyes for a moment, knowing the girls pain all to well. She smirked silently to herself. When her beloved had first learned of who she truly was… he hated her and yet somehow he didn’t. Only to later realize though he hated being brought into this existence, he had fallen for the female despite what she was. Tora could still feel the pain she felt that first day out in the rain after he learned her secret and had casted her out of his place. She could sympathize with what this girl was going through.

Kuri let the covers fall away from her face as she felt the hand on her head, even though a few tears were escaping her eyes now. She had cringed a little at the sight of Tora's wings forming, glad that hers were just there and easily hidden with magic. She crawled over a little closer to Tora so she could lean on her, upset with herself for destroying her cheery mood with her problems.
"Thank you...but I don’t know if I can be strong enough Ever since mum died...I've not really been good at anything. My father always looked out for me...and then I left him as well...and now." Her wings absently brushed against Tora's, seemingly enjoying being happy to mingle with the others feathered appendages.
"I'll...I will try...for those I care for..." Her eyes moved to Valken before moving away again quickly, dropping down once more. They were both putting so much faith in her and Valken was spending far too much time looking out for her. She didn't deserve it, she wasn't strong, she wasn't even able to help her father.

Valken sat there and listen silently to everything. He wasn't surprised at seeing tora's feathrs at all after seeing lucifers as well as kuri. He reached out and stroke kuri's face gently giving the young girl a smile.
"one must be strong for themselves as well as others. But remember you have people looking out for you as well."He looked at toras and kuri's feathers minggling and just smiled as he stood up slowly. He decided to try and be alittle bit funny
"You know what! I feel out of place! I'm the only one in here with no wings" He gave them both a pouty look

Kuri leaned into Valken's hand before he withdrew it. This is what she meant, he was far too nice to her, at least far nicer than she thought she deserved. Maybe she had just gone too long without having anyone really there for her.
"I'll try not to...let you down." She replied to his words as he stood up, and she leaned back a bit now that his hand was gone again. When he made his comment about their wings she smiled with even a very slight laugh breaking through her tears.
"I don't know, I can't see you with wings. I...kinda prefer you without them." She looked up at him again trying to picture him with wings. No that'd be too much of a reminder for her and she wouldn't want that. Even if it would make him look more like an angel, which she had sort of started comparing him to. He had brought some light back into her life and she didn't know if she'd ever be able to adequately repay him for it.

Tora let her black sinful feathers brush against the younger girls, a soft smile upon her face as she sat by her trying to offer comfort.
“ Well then we shall just have to find what you are good at. We all have our talents. I’m a magic specialist , I’m thinking Valken is a smooth romantic from his actions and Lucifer’s….. Something that I haven’t really figured out yet. “ She thought outloud while making a face as if she was seriously thinking on this. That was till Valken stood up complaining about wings.
“ I don’t think you need anything else to add to your troubles since you still need to drink your blood.” Tora reminded him as she leaned over to the night stand where she had sat down the glasses, picking one up and drinking from it as if she was suddenly thirsty. Down side to the wings was that it took a bit of energy once they were released. Though it was more comfortable to have her wings out, the actual form of releasing them made her thirst a bit deep. Especially when she had not fed properly in awhile. When she was done she placed the glass down. Fluffing up her feathers like a demonic bird contently before letting them smooth back down. Tora was even less used to others seeing her wings then her brother. Since she often kept to herself more.

"I can do some magic." Kuri piped up a little more cheerfully. "Only a few small things but some. I like drawing as well." Thinking after she said it comparing liking drawing to being able to use magic did seem kind of off. Magic after all was not something everyone was readily capable of, even so she did like her drawing skills. It was a shame she wasn't back home so she could show them her sketchpad but then again she still didn't want to go back there yet. Not until she was a bit more secure with herself.
Kuri yawned again, leaning a little more into Tora. She would admit that now she was getting tired, but she still didn't want to just go to sleep. Although at this rate she may well just fall asleep regardless of how she felt. The night had been draining and even a fresh glass of blood only went so far to keep her awake and active.

Tora wrapped her arms about Kuri in a motherly fashion , letting her own wings cushion the girl. She kissed the top of the girls head.
“ Rest now. We can talk more later.” She smiled serenely to Kuri as a mother would to there child. Blue eyes warm and tender.

Valken nodded in agreement with tora and smiled at the young child before speaking.
"rest now little one okay?" He looked to tora " I'm going to go feed then I'll be back" he walked over to them and kissed kuri on the forehead and smiled down at her before walking out of the room to feed

"Okay," Kuri sighed slightly in defeat. "Be careful Valken." She called as he made his way to leave. Once he was gone she pulled away from Tora and curled up under the covers once more, rolling onto her side and resting her head on the pillows.
"Thanks again for letting me sleep here." She smiled over at Tora. While she wasn't one hundred percent happy with sleeping in the vampires bed she expected any arguments to be futile at this point. Besides the bed was nice and comfy and her eyes seemed determined to close as it was. It didn't take long for them to do so, her wings fluttering once more as she slowly feel into the embrace of sleep.

Tora sighed as she shut off the lights and wondered over to the door. Closing it softly as to not disturb the little one.
“ This has been a eventful night.” She spoke not sure if Valken had lingered behind or not. She stopped as she entered the living area. Seeing her brother sitting there with a pouty look upon his tender mug.
“ And you, you nearly scared that girl to death. You should use your other senses if you think your playing a trick on your kin. Or have you already forgotten that fact?” She taunted the male as Lucifer’s face only scowled more. Tora raised a brow to this. He seemed more moody then usual.
“ Now what is your problem?” She asked as Lucifer quickly adverted the attention from himself.
“ Nothing, but why are your wings out? Are you preparing for battle?” He taunted, trying to get the attention off of himself.
“ Oh shut up stupid. I can do whatever I want here. Eh, that reminds me, does that friend of yours actually know how to get out of here?” She thought to herself at last cause yeah… only entry and exit method is by spell XD

Kuri shifted around uncomfortably under the beds quilt, clutching it tightly to her as her hair and wings shifted to their lighter colours under a soft glow. Relaxing her grip on the covers her eyes flicked open revealing the now blue irises. She rolled onto her back before sitting up with a sly smile on her face.
"Dear me, do they really not realise what poor little Kuri is capable of? And that Valken, hmm, I'm going to have some fun with him." Telckla whispered to herself, If it wasn't for the fact this place was crawling with powerful entities she'd go and start her fun right now, alas that'd probably end up with her being taken out quite fast. That wouldn't be so fun.
'Lord, I'm sorry for the late check in, things got a little complicated. I'm in the refuge of the thirteen, I thought they were only a legend. I think I can play this to our advantage, they have yet to detect me and seem very happy to help the girl. Just think how much time we could save by draining a creature of such power.' She decided it would be a good idea to relay her findings to Orvasrin before he kicked up too much of a stink about her not returning.
'The moment you try anything they'll easily overpower you, I'm surprised they haven’t noticed you as it is. Play along for now, this is not a time I can afford to lose an asset in. You may have your fun later.' The reply came, echoing around her mind as if he was somehow inside it.
'As you wish.' Telckla mentally sighed, never any fun at all. She laid back on the pillows, stretching out on the bed. Well at least they had a good taste in beds. Curling up again she faded from the girl’s consciousness again, letting the girl get her rest. As her colours reverted to their normal grey, Kuri once again entered her usual nightmares. Well Telckla needed to vent her frustration somehow right?

Valken stood near a window away from everyone. this place was strange and he had no idea to get back to their world okay it was confusin ghim a bit but he did kinda understand too. he just needed some time to himself. Yes he was hungry but he wasn't going to feed. He also knew morning was fast apporaching and had no clue what was going to happen from there. He ran his fingers through his blondish harid and sighed softly. It's been a long few days he thought. SO much has happened and so much more is bound to happen he thought while he let his eyes earch around.

Tora stopped her bickering with her twin for a moment. Sensing something that should not be in this realm. In this garden that was always night, she could feel another demon, that was not Kuri, if only for a split moment in time before it once more retreated into seclusion. Tora's eyes narrowed at this. Lucifer had only sensed it a little, but she was the magic user of the two. Something was not right.
“ I'm going to take a look around for your friend.” She announced suddenly as Lucifer nodded, already seeing her thoughts his eyes swept the room.
“ I'm going to sit here and take up some more blood. “ He told her as went to the kitchen to get another drink of the red liquid for now. It was best if they didn't alert anyone to there knowledge.
The dirty blond haired child of Lucifer's known as Kane had just finished putting the little one known as Azeusa to bed. He had left her room and turned down a corridor when he stopped. Seeing a blonde not much different to himself looking out of a window. His honey dew eyes starred down the male vampire coldly. He quickly stepped up to the guy in a instant. Un-natrually fast even at a vampire's pace. The young looking rouge was right there in a moment's notice. Starring down the lone stranger.
“ You are not a child of this house so whats dirt like you lurking around here for?” He snapped in his usual bossy attitude. Kane was loyal to his master, and was rarely nice to anyone. It was the reason the roughneck died in his real life. One could only pick a fight so many times before finally loosing his life on one. Lucifer had taken pitty on the long time bar patron that was alive before street's were ever paved in anything other then horse manure. He had been a friend in that time, the youthful human so rebellious and full of spirit. The spunk that Lucifer always had fun about despite the obvious downside to his rude manners.
“All the other masters are gone and I doubt they'd leave a new one like you about.” He added a bit. Putting his chest right smack against the man's in a rude matter. Only then did he pick up the faint scent of Tora's room upon him. A scowl crossed his face at this.
“ Don't tell me you were laying with the bitch.” He barked at him with a sneer. Him and Tora having a well.... abusive relationship that was similar to warring siblings then anything else. Usually with Kane on the bad end of the deal.

Valken turned slowly to look at kane and smiled a bit. She had run into kane before and knew the boy was rude and everything that but it didn't bother him at all.
"No I'm not sleeping with tora. And I was brought here by her and lucifer so calm down child."he said.

Kane snorted a bit right up in Valkens face.
“Hn, you better be honored by his trust in you. I don’t, that’s for sure.” Kane replied almost sizing the guy up with his eyes. He was so sure he could take this guy down if he wanted to. Though with him being a friend of the master’s he had to play nice.
“ To bad, filth sleeping with filth. It would make a perfect match.” He grinned though in a few moments the silence was broken as another face appeared right by Kane’s right ear.
“ What was that about sleeping with filth.” She smiled calmly for a moment as Kane’s eyes went wide with fright and ran forward past Valken almost running him over in the process. He turned to stare down his master’s sister. Almost shaking in fright as he tried to act manly and hold his hands strangely in front of his crotch.
“ Nooothing, nothing at all.” The full grown man stuttered a bit as his iris’s were slitted like a frighten cats. Tora smirked as she crossed her arms simply.
“ Hmph, that’s nice to know. “ She spoke when suddenly at the same time from behind Kane yet again came another voice.
“ But I don’t believe it.” The sinister whisper of a shadow with glowing red eyes spoke. The shadow finally attacked. Leaping onto the rude one beating the crap out of him despite the protests from the young man. The other image of Tora disappearing as the shadow revealed it’s self to be the true twin. From out of her bosom she removed a glittering silver cross. Now yet again, the difference between the original thirteen and a normal vampire was evident. Though Tora did not remember her true origin, she did know the cross did not harm her. In truth, the cross could not hurt her. Though she had fallen from grace as a angel, she still did not fear the one called God. Her power, her strength, though she could not explain it, did not come from a dark domain like normal demons. Her gifts, her gifts were different of both light and out of sin. Allowing such things to not harm her and yet again, others to still affect her.
She pushed the cross hard into the forehead of the vile fledgling of Lucifer’s. Allowing a nice burn mark to appear before putting the cross back in it’s hiding place. She smirked as Kane shouted a string of curses, it would take days for that to heal and well it was very much painful. Kane being a creation was more so of the dark then his master, and that he was truly dead as well caused for such things to affect him.
“ FUCKER!” He cursed at the female who smirked like some psychotic treasure cat. As she leaned back with a toothy grin.
“ Watch it boy, remember who I am.” She grinned innocently as she suddenly punched the man in the nuts before standing up and brushing herself off innocently. If she had truly wanted to kill the man she very well could of but well. Tora just liked to humiliate the nasty tongued vampire. She smiled innocently up at Valken as if Kane was not even there anymore.
“ It’s day time in the real world. It stays night here all the time so we don’t have to worry much about it. Lucifer is in the living room area pouting, if you want you can join us for a drink or I can take you to a room for the day. “ She told him as Kane twitched a bit holding his family jewels upon the floor. Biting back the urge to say something else smart mouthed to the violent vampire. Though he was so close to just screaming bitch at least one last time at the she demon, even if it cost him another beating.
(( Ooc: Yeah… Tora is border line skitzo at times XD Especially when it comes to Kane cause he’s so rude and tries to intimidate everyone. ._.;; ))

Valken just shook his head at everything kane said and had a slight amused look on his face as he watched tora and kane. Finally he spoke when tora addressed him.
"I'll take the room. rest would be nice" he said pleasently.

Kuri awoke with a start, suddenly gripped by intense hunger pangs. She tried to ignore then and drift back to sleep but that proved to be impossible. The drowsiness had left her now, even though she knew she couldn't have been sleeping that long. She didn't want to impose on Tora any more than she had, seeing as she was sleeping in her room and wearing her clothes, but it became quite evident that her body wasn't going to let her rest any more until it got what it wanted. As she slipped out of bed, a soft whimper escaped her lips, the pangs becoming slightly painful.
She moved quickly over to the door and opened it, quietly slipping out of the room to retrace the path to the main lounge area. Her steps were light and quick as she made her way back down the way she had been carried, infinitely glad she had borrowed Tora's clothes in case she did run into anyone here. As much as Tora had reassured her blood wasn't an uncommon sight around here she'd still feel really nervous meeting someone in a blood soaked dress.
Once she made it to the lounge she looked around, a little lost on where to head now since it seemed quite deserted.

Lucifer had still been sitting on the sofa. Watching as Kuri had appeared looking a little lost.
“ Um.....” He started as he starred at her. Not sure what to say since the scene was still a bit uncomfortable from earlier.
“ Um... Heh... hi?” He almosted asked her as if it was a question more then a statement as he waved at her a bit, a sheepish grin spread crossed his youthful face. There was only one word for this scene... awkward.
---
Tora nodded at this. Moveing off to let Kane deal with his deep pains.
“ Right this way.” She smiled innocently as she seemed to move like a ghost through the dimly lit halls of the place. Stopping before a large old door.
“ Here, you can borrow Lucifer's room for the night. My brother and I have much to discuss.” She told him with a gentle smile.
