She smiled, "You don't have to be sorry, I was aiming to do the same. It's just our instinct." She closed her lips quickly while her eyes flashed nostalgia before she quickly looked away. Her father would always say that after mass murder in the towns of innocent humans. 'It's instincts sweetheart, they eat and we must eat. It's part of the circle of life.' She shuddered, they weren't taking lives, they were taking souls. Making them miserable before death then feeding on their worst fears, it made her sick to be a demon. She looked again, and felt herself get nervous. They had been sitting so close, and she quickly stood up with a nervous laugh before a annoyed meow came from the bathroom. "Nala, be nice." Nala jumped on to the bed and made herself cozy next to Garrick. "Weird.. She likes you." She raised her eyebrows. "Half the time she doesn't even like me." She laughed again.

He simply smiled and started petting Nala softly, "Cats have always liked me...My master said it had something to do with how they can sense the animal inside of people...And i guess my animal attracts cats." Garrick shrugged and pet the cat softly, "I heard rumor of a Balrog near seventh in the water way tunnels...You hear anything about that?" Garrick looked over her judging and trying to place where he remembered her.

"That's a level three demon, it's been feeding on humans that wonder the tunnels." She shrugged, she wasn't one to go for big kills but she was sure they could do it together. "It hates light more than a lot of things." She leaned against the counter avoiding eye contact. "It's weak points are behind its left horn and it's tongue releases paralysis venom." She shouldn't know so much about demons but having a demon father who collected them for fun it's all she's known. "I could be wrong." She said pushing her hair behind her ear.

Garrick nodded slowly while listen to her speak, "Yes I have faced a few of them in my past..." He lifted up his shirt to show her a nasty scar on his left ribs, "It nearly killed me..." He looked her in the eyes, "I would have died if I hadn't gone into massacre mode for the first time." Garrick looked her in the eyes he knew she would know about the servants of Lord Asteroth and their abilities to become level 6 demons in times of need...they called this art Massacre mode. "Its how I got my name...Master Called me Garrick(The Raven) after seeing my transformation."

He was a slave, or was he still a slave? She swallowed hard, but kept her face calm and collected, they are known to be far more dangerous than the average slayer. Her eyes ducked as she walked her way in to the living room to occupy her self. She wasn't ready to admit who she was, and wanted him to never know if she could keep it a secret for that long. Her life wasn't one she wanted to share. "Would you like noodles, and a sandwich?" It wasn't that she didn't care, but she had a feeling that she would be asked about herself soon as she wanted to avoid any sort of subject. "Shall we go tonight?" She was speaking of the demon.

Garrick decided not to ask her about her past if she wanted him to know she would tell him, "I would love that...It sounds lovely," Garrick looked down at his hands and back up at her, "I um...I'm not a slave anymore...If your wondering..." Garrick's eyes flashed as the memories of his mother crawling across the floor towards him while soaked in her own blood and trying to save him burned back into his mind, "I'm sure you heard of Lord Asteroth and his families disappearance...He killed my mom..." Garrick looked at her and his eyes said what he couldn't, "I returned the favor." Garrick nodded slowly again, "Tonight is fine with me...He will be dealt with...We will have to work together or one of us might sustain injury."

She turned quickly but didn't say anything, she had already known who he had belonged to and what my father had done to a few of the slaves who have tried to steal some of the most renoun demons ever caught. She's watched many slayers be murdered cold bloodily, some of them having be dealt by her herself. Cossette was in the same boat, she had to murder her own mother at the age of 13 or her father threatened to kill off the rest of the palace which included all of her mother's children and family. She bit her lip and looked away. "That's fine, I am ready when you are." She finished the noodles and walked over placing the bowls on the bar with the two bar stools and sat on the other side of the counter. "Here you go." She tried to smile.

Garrick took his bowl with a big smile and started eating, "These are delicious..." He kept right on eating and every so often thanking her for being such a kind host to him, "We should take him before he leaves the safety of his cave. If a fight breaks out in the streets people might die...If something goes wrong i can really fight him...But...Opening my Massacre mode will alert every demon in 100 miles of my location." Garrick looked back into her eyes and a thought crossed him, What if he knew her in his past.

She blinked at him. "Yeah, let's not let that happen." She smiled playfully but at the same time she didn't feel like being ripped to shreds that night, yet she needed money and these bad boys leave a large enough stone worth at least 500 so, that means 250 for her. Yet 500 dollars wasn't enough for her to give up her life. She was a strong assassin, and had been raised to be so, so if she couldn't take out a level 3 demon with someone's help her father would surely be disappointed.

Garrick finished his food and placed his bowl in the sink before smiling at Cossette, "I have your back in this fight...We should get going..." He smiled at Nala and rubbed her belly before stepping over to the door. This demon...Could this Balrog be one of the escapees from Lord Asteroth's palace? The thought of that made Garrick feel sick and he shook it away and waited for cossette

She blushed and looked down at her clothing, Oh great, he's going to see my 'fighting wardrobe' She laughed nervously and played with a piece of her hair. "I uh, have to change first." She laughed nervously again and slid in to her bathroom before removing her clothes and placing the tight black shorts, and long sleeve black shirt that was far too low cut, and where the sleeves had holes for her fingers , then a pair of black and white chuck tailors. She walked out sheepishly, "They won't catch on fire, and due to the perve that helped me make these clothes, this is what I get." She shrugged and before he could say anything she walked to the door. "Okay, let's go." She said, and smiled back reassuringly while trying to pull down the black shorts.

Garrick gave her a warm smile, "I do believe you would look good in anything Madam." Garrick stood up and slowly started taking off his hoodie and Jeans to her it would seem like he was stripping naked. When he got his shirt off she could see his muscular body offset by his black hair. He then unbuttoned his jeans and slipped them off to reveal a pair of long black leather looking pants, "This is what i mainly wear...So at least we look odd together." Garrick cracked a grin which seemed out of place with his sorrowful eyes.

She blinked as he began to strip not sure if she should look away or ask him why he was removing his clothes. She sighed in relief to see that he was wearing something underneath which she shrugged. She smiled and followed behind him, but soon became serious. Night had fallen which mean that most demons would be active around this time so even when they are outside and focused on getting one demon, they could be attacked at any moment. "You can run right?" She called as they finally made it outside. Before he could answer she winked at him and a second later she disappeared in her abnormally fast sprint towards their destination.

Garrick breathed in a sigh and spread his wings and took off like a rocket into the air keeping pace with her as best he could.When they started approaching the place he dropped to street level and darted in between buildings until they arrived. Garrick landed next to her and drew his scythe from his pocket and made it expand, "Lets hit him with a ground and pound...I'll ground him...You pound him."

She moved quick through trees and other obstacles, maneuvering herself left and right while staying as light as a feather. She tried not to giggle at the adrenaline rush she got when she ran. Once she got there her back was against the brick wall, her senses going wild with the beast near. She pulled her bladed chain from her chest whipping it around her waist. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her hands grew warm then hot before exposing flames that oozed down the side of the chain, her eyes blazed a fiery red. "Let's do this." She nodded seriously before moving herself and taking a stance, ready to pounce.

Garrick simply nodded and turned his scythe Iin his hands reflexively, "I am at your side Cossette...we can do this with ease." Garrick blinked and when he opened his eues they had turned black...but not like any black from the mortal plane...no his eyes had turned into little pits of tartarus...dark and endless. Garrick took point and started into the cave, after a few minutes of walking Garrick peeked his head around the corner to see the monster sitting next to a large fire. Beside him lay two unconscious women whom had been tied and laid next to the fire as the creature prepared to eat, "We have two humans...we need to be delicate."

She had been farther away from the demon than Garrick but she kept her ground, she could easily get to the beast in a mere flash. She wrapped her chain around her, and waited. He told her that they would have to be delicate. "If you can project him towards me, we won't have to harm them. I'll strike first and you come from behind to finish him off." She wasn't being demanding or cont she just knew it would be the best strategy and she said it in a fair tone. Fire stood on the edge of her blades while she pin pointed where she was going to strike.

Garrick nodded softly and the flashed forward at super speeds and went to get the beasts attention, "HEY MONSTER!" When the beast turned to face him Garrick flashed back towards the entrance, "Over here creature!" Garrick flashed away as the beast started running towards the entrance wildly. He got behind and waited for Cossette to strike the beast so he could finish it from behind.
