She should have listened to him and ran as far as she could from this man. The pain within her chest was only growing ever so slightly with each passing minute. "It's okay; it'll be fine." She told him, but he didn't seem to listen. He only kept telling her to turn back. That's when she realized he wasn't afraid of the man before her; he was afraid for her. She balled up her fist over her chest and let his dark energy surround her, letting him raise his protection around her. To any human sh would have looked like a normal person, to someone who possed true sight they would see a tall figure made of shadows and hands enveloping her form. [i]... depart from this woman, Demon![/i] The man's words only made His protection around her stronger. She wanted Him to feel better and let him protect her, but she was afraid that the man could feel the dark presence surround her as he spoke. "It's fine. He's not a demon." Aurora let her hand fall to her side as she gently bumped the white cane against the man's shoe to see where he was exactly. "He's my friend, my protector. He doesn't want you to hurt me." She didn't know why He thought this man would hurt her. He had tried to help her when she had fallen. "The pain is gone now. It's just Him around me now." Her monotone voice was taking on a hint of assurance. Something else was nearing closer, and He warned her of it. Aurora didn't feel the same brightness that she felt from the man she was talking to, so it must have been different. It was getting closer, and the closer it got, the more the energy from the creatures felt akin to the one she felt when she first met Him.

He took a step back and let them talk for a bit, making sure the weird man didn't do anything funny. That's when he spotted someone else approaching them, a girl a few inches from the ground. "This day is just getting weirder and weirder." He muttered. First, a girl that smelled of years of decay, a teleporting man, and a ghost? Was she a ghost? Marcus thought she looked like a ghost. While Marcus would have loved to show Espe around the city, his time was cut short since he needed to meet up with his sister soon. He also didn't want to leave Esme alone with a freak that had a bird's nest in his hair and pretty much told her he wanted to fuck her. "And here I thought this would be a normal day." Marcus pulled out his phone to check the time. "Then again, I live in a city full of weirdos." He looked back up to the small group that had gathered in the middle of the sidewalk.

Alekis told Price as she sat down and took a small sip of his coffee. Alekis had a few vial of blood he used in some of his ritual and they were tightly sealed in his bag. It was always a plut to carry around ingridients that he needed for said rituals.
