[b][h3] Episode 2, the worst host ever. [/h3][/b]


[hider=My Hider]
[b][color=8882be]"Stand still damn you! Why the shit are you so damn persistant?!"[/color][/b] Galbrek yelled out and grabbed hold of a nearby vase with a motif of a demon, he was about to throw it but reconsidered and picked a pitcher instead, throwing it at a painting which hung up just above the fireplace located in the room. 

[b][color=8882be]"Why can't I break her?! No matter! I shall find some other use for you. I shall have one of the others do my bidding in order to save you... now hows that for a guilt trip? Ah yes, I should have Wolfie kill someone... someone like... ahh yes... William. It will solve so much for me..."  [/color][/b]

The half-demon walked back and forth and then looked at the large wall clock, before dragging his hand over his face until realizing he had recently touched a human which disgusted him slightly that he felt a strong urge for more wine.
He walked over to Vera and snapped all the strings keeping her attached, leaving her only wearing the cuffs. [b][color=8882be]"Hmph... however I cannot let you leave here, not until I have my brand new toy." [/color][/b]

The half-demon went over to a nearby chair, taking a blanket that rested on it and a pillow, throwing it to Vera. [b][color=8882be]"Take that and you will stay in this room over here..."[/color][/b] Galbrek snarled abit as he said that, it irked him that she had proved so much a challenge. He picked up her phone along the way, looking it over before pocketing it, before he opened the door to an adjacent room, this room was decorated with many mannequinns and doll masks, including a couch aswell as a fruit basket over by a work table,. Most of the fruit was actually grapes and oranges.  

Galbrek took out the key for the cuffs he had gotten from the guardsman which provided the cuffs for the feet, he tried them at the ones around Vera's wrists and uncuffed her. [b][color=8882be]"Now behave in here... don't try to run away or I'll be very very angry."
[/color][/b]The half-demon reached up to touch his nose and cursed under his breath on his way out of the window lacking room with the doll masks decorating it. He began to check the contacts in Vera's phone if there was no password on it.

Vera wrapped herself in the blanket, sniffling and shivering after the ordeal. So close. If she'd been just a little weaker... she didn't want to think about that. Meanwhile, the phone would have just as strongly rejected Galbrek's advances. After all, what self-respecting teenage girl didn't lock their phone?

[b][color=8882be]"Fucking hell shit!"[/color][/b] Galbrek loudly yelled at trying password after password without success. [b][color=8882be]"Adam, you bastard where are you? He could test all the combinations with his fucking sparetime. Screw it all!"[/color][/b] Galbrek began to light the fireplace. [b][color=8882be]"If you won't be mine, then you shall burn fucking technology shit."
[/color][/b]He breathed out deeply and then allowed himself to sink into a soft chair by the fireplace, while he waited for it to begin to burn.  He threw a glance to the left and right. 

Fegin had prepared food earlier that day before he set off, now was as good a time as any to get it, he went to the kitchen after locking the door out to the hallway that led to the entrance. He couldn't afford to lose Vera now when he was so close to getting Andras. He washed his face in the kitchen while he was at it, aswell as his hands. With the occassional curse at his clothes being ruined, he returned to the dining hall with drinks and food. He set it down on the table and sat down. The silence. He looked around and began humming. Before he grabbed his head and yelled out in rage.[b][color=8882be] "Shit! Why is it so damn quiet… "[/color][/b]

He swiftly rose up and took the tray with the food into the room Vera was in, walking in as if he owned the place. And well he did. He put the tray down on the work desk. "Food and drink. I don't like my prisoner to starve to death."

Vera didn't even look up, only shrinking away from him. [b][color=ec008c]"I won't... be here... that long..."[/color][/b] she mumbled to herself. She had to believe that or she'd lose it.

[b][color=8882be]"Who knows. Depends on Meredith and how quickly she can get Andras to me. I have need of her powers. Nothing else."[/color][/b] Galbrek replied as he reached up to inspect a doll head he had worked on some year ago, he took it down, looking it over before seeing the imperfection and thus he threw it away in a corner of the room. 

[b][color=8882be]"If it is of any comfort to you, I too know how it feels like to be betrayed by your friends. Mine burned my brother alive, he whom was their very champion... and that's what he got in return for his kindness. This world is not kind at all, the only way to make it in this world is to be merciless or perish. Do you think I made it this far just be sheer luck alone? Oh no no, I've fought for all this. And once Andras is in my grasp, I shall bring back what was taken from me and I shall drown this world and all humans along with it." [/color][/b]

[b][color=8882be]"For it's what they deserve. But you couldn't understand that because you are one of them... Pink. You said it yourself, you call us all monsters." [/color][/b]

[b][color=ec008c]"You're acting like one..."[/color][/b] Vera said quietly. The million, angry quips still swam through her mind, but were currently drowned. It was all she could muster. [b][color=ec008c]"So why shouldn't I?"[/color][/b]

[b][color=8882be]"Hmph. We are all shaped by our surroundings, human. Do you think I wanted to live like this?"[/color][/b] He took hold of another doll face that hung from the ceiling., this one was only half-done and was more like a face mask. [b][color=8882be]"Perhaps that's what I have been doing all along."[/color][/b] He moved the doll face to his own face. [b][color=8882be]"How could you tell an act from the real thing? How could you separate what is a lie? How far do you think some are willing to go in order to get what they want?"[/color][/b] Galbrek laughed and spun around, throwing the doll-faced mask to a nearby wall.  [b][color=8882be]"Sometimes the best way to avoid being consumed is by denying you have been. Living in a lie, in play or story. Trying to avoid that hot little needle which will make the very real world so fucking plain and... painful to bear."[/color][/b]

[b][color=8882be]"You have seen it haven't you? How some turn to all manner of poisons... why? Hah! Because they know it's very much hopeless to do anything about this wretched world and the misery and despair is devouring them. If you truly want worth in your life, you should consider joining forces with me, Pink."[/color][/b]

[b][color=ec008c]"All you're telling me is that you let the world turn you into the very thing you hate. Why would I ever join someone that weak?"[/color][/b] She narrowed her eyes. [b][color=ec008c]"I already have someone. You're not the only one who has suffered. We'll see who came out stronger." [/color][/b]

[b][color=8882be]"Tch.. "[/color][/b] Galbrek gritted his teeth and gave a somewhat disapproving look to Vera. [b][color=8882be]"Shut up! I am not weak at all, I managed to pull down that damn airship the Ascot idiots were flying about with. I singlehandedly- No, I don't have to explain my superiority to you... it's already plain. Defined at birth. Just like everything else. "[/color][/b] Galbrek adjusted his shirt, unbuttoning the top button so he could breathe more freely. [b][color=8882be]"What makes you strong, human? Why do you not submit yourself to me?"[/color][/b] He asked this time with a serious tone in his voice. [b][color=8882be]"You don't have any power at all and still you defy me?"[/color][/b] It baffled him to say the least, someone whom did not have any power was resisting his hypnotic gaze, not only that but managing to spray him, hit him, kick him and bite him. And despite all the things she has been put through she still refuses to give in. [b][color=8882be]"Who are you, human?" [/color][/b]

She scoffed, [b][color=ec008c]"Defined at birth? I could have said that... I could have just let everything be handed to me."[/color][/b] She shook her head. [b][color=ec008c]"If you must know, it's because when life told me who I should be... I said 'No.'"[/color][/b] And then, for just a moment, she found the strength to again look him in the eye. [b][color=ec008c]"Throw all the ships you want, Glabrek,"[/color][/b] but it [i]was[/i] just a moment, and she looked back down at the floor. [b][color=ec008c]"It doesn't make you strong."[/color][/b]

He tried to wrinkle his nose as best as he could in his injured state, he clearly didn't like what was said but he didn't instantly rebuke her for it either and instead walked out of the room to throw her phone into the fire. He couldn't allow her to call her allies, the risk was too high for him. Andras was so close he could almost taste the power, but the hours had passed and he was weary, aswell as injured. He wanted to sleep but he couldn't have Vera run away. None of his dolls were home so he decided to put out the fireplace and then made it into the room Vera was in, barricading the door with his strings in a large web like pattern to hinder her to leave. That's when he realized he made one big wrong calculation, he forgot to remove himself from the room to begin with. On realizing this he grinded his teeth together, but he couldn't let that high and mighty human know he did something uncharacteristic of himself. A thing some would make him a laughing stock of. No, that was not going to happen. He devised a simple plan.

Galbrek walked over to the bed located in the room. [b][color=8882be]"If you as much as flinch and try to wound me or escape I will have no choice however but to kill you. So don't try it... we demonkin are alot tougher than you humans anyway."[/color][/b] He said in a warning manner before he began to take off his shirt. His back revealing two large scars at the upper part of his back. He took off his boots aswell as socks. But he left his pants on after throwing a glance to Vera, not appearantly feeling like showing her every square inch of himself. He allowed himself to fall on the bed with his back facing it, the necklace around his neck slamming down against his chest, he grabbed hold of it and opened the locket it held. Looking at the contents before closing it, putting his hands at the back of his head, before twisting and turning on the bed, as if having trouble deciding which direction to sleep in.  He couldn't help but throw a glance to Vera for a moment, in which he stopped moving and assumed a more proud look on his face, lying down with a serious facial expression.

In a snarling manner, Galbrek spoke out to Vera. [b][color=8882be]"Don't you worry your little head, you'll get revenge on that idiotic Meredith later. I don't care about her, she's as much an irritant as William. Both are reasons for you really being here at all."[/color][/b] Galbrek smirked and sat up in the bed, before gritting his teeth, grabbing a nearby cloth napkin and poured water at it, wiping his face and eyes as it was still stinging. [b][color=8882be]"Ahh... damnation and hellfire.."[/color][/b] He muttered throwing glances to Vera every now and then to make sure she wasn't up to anything.[b][color=8882be] "I did consider you an option for a spawn creation matter, but it would make for bad offspring. More human than demon. Which is not good at all. Someone else shall have to do for heirs to the brand new kingdom of demonkin which shall be founded right here. A little taste of what is to come, don't worry,  you will not die right away. You will be enslaved so we can use your inferior bodies and minds as labor, in a sense you would help in building a better world too. Doesn't that make you glad human?"[/color][/b] Galbrek chuckled with a hint of sadistic joy.[b][color=8882be] "Ofcourse you will be able to take your little revenge on the thickheaded thickthighed half-crapped snugglebitch excuse for a demon, Meredith. You can even hear it in her name... 'Mere'. " [/color][/b]
