Saving the Damned Cont. (AkiraShadow & HiddenBeauty)

As the two spoke, Allura began to eat her breakfast. Instead of eating in small portion like Akira, she cut her pieces big before downing them in record time. She would then take a sip of her milk before repeating the process once more. This will be something that I miss once we leave...her cooking is amazing. It almost reminds me of... The angel shook her head slightly and got rid of the thought before it could bring the flood of emotions with it as it usually did. It was then that she tuned back into the conversation between Akira and the old woman, managing to catch the last part of it. The possibility of a necromancer being in the area made the angel very curious, as well as excited. Necromancers were beings that she only read about in the history books, which noted that they were a rare sight. Now she had the possibility of seeing one for herself. How could she say no?

"I think we should check the place out. We might be able to get to the bottom of these rumors and buy us some time with our pursuers." Allura added her own little input before going back to eating what was left of her breakfast. Seeing that Allura's plate was getting empty, the old woman stood and gently pried to plate away from her so she could refill it. "Well, if you two are going to explore the crypt, I would advise you to leave today, more specifically, during the night. Most people will be inside their homes sleeping and your exit will go unnoticed. Not only that, but you will be able to get a head start ahead of the people who are chasing you two." She explained as she put more food onto the angel's plate. Once done, she brought the plate back over to Allura, who eagerly began to eat once more. "Now, if you need supplies of any kind, I can go get them for you today. You both should probably stay inside, since you were the talk of the town yesterday. There is no doubt that they are still talking, especially if one of them managed to stab Akira, leaving him with what should have been a fatal wound."

Allura paused from her eating for a moment to look at Akira and raised an eyebrow questioningly at him. The old woman did have a point, but would it be something that he was willing to do? Not only that, but was he well enough to get back up and traveling a day after nearly dying from a stab wound? Heck, did she even feel up to traveling so soon after using a large amount of her energy to heal him? Those thoughts swam around in the angel's mind, nearly making her dizzy, as she waited for Akira to say something.

As soon as the old woman left, Allura fell asleep almost instantly, missing the muffled coughing noises that came from Akira's room moments after. Unlike her companion, Allura's dreams were plagued with images of humans being killed without mercy and forced to do work day in and day out like slaves. Blood seemed to coat every scene until all she saw was red.The haughty laughter of demons and the screams of dying people made her toss and turn restlessly until she could no longer stay asleep. Opening her eyes, the angel was surprised to see that it was actually morning instead of night. She managed to sleep through the whole night but it wasn't a good sleep and she still found herself somewhat tired as she climbed out of bed. The bow that she used to keep her hair tied back managed to break through the night, releasing the long dark strands to fall into her face. Sighing, a bit, Allura pushed the strands from her face and then put her face in her hands, trying to figure out where that dream came from. I've never had a dream like that before...is it supposed to be some sort of premonition of what is to come if I don't kill Akira?

The thought made her even more confused than she was before and Allura decided not to worry about it too much just yet, not when the delicious smell of food was coaxing her to the kitchen. After making the bed and straightening up her clothes as best as she could, Allura walked out of the room and was surprised to see that Akira had beaten her to the table. I must have been sleep longer than I thought. She thought as she smiled tiredly at him. Allura then greeted the old woman before sitting down in the seat next to Akira. "How are you feeling today?" The angel asked him softly and glanced down at the area where his wound would have been if she had not healed it the day before; however, something didn't seem right. What...? Is that extra blood? Narrowing her eyes curiously, gently grabbed his shirt, rubbing her finger across the blood stain, watching as some of the more fresh blood peeled off, revealing more blood underneath.

"I told you that she'd notice." A voice called from behind Allura and, when she turned, she noticed that the old woman was busy putting food onto plates. "You must have used it to find me yesterday in the market." She hadn't wondered at the time how he'd managed to find her so easily but now she knew why. "You don't have to hide it from me, you know." The angel said softly as she removed her hand from his shirt. "I may not be able to stop it, but I can at least be there to help you once it's over." Allura could remember the first time he'd done it and how much blood he ended up coughing up afterwards. Before she could say anything else, the old woman sat down a plate of breakfast in front of the both of them before taking a seat across from them.

"Do you two still plan on leaving today as you planned before?" The woman asked as she pushed her eggs around on her plate with her fork. Straight to business, as expected. The angel thought to herself and then glanced over to Akira, raising an eyebrow as she did so. We're they still planning to leave or had their plans been delayed by previous events? She had decided that she would talk it out with Akira once they got back but things did not go as planned the day before.

Allura gladly reached for the cup when the woman returned and took a sip, cringing slightly as the woman began to 'nag' at them. The angel figured that it would happen sooner or later; they did manage to alter the old woman's life drastically in the course of only two days. Once Akira got done talking and once Allura finished off al of her tea, she turned to them both and began to speak:

"I was sent to Earth with the mission of finding and eliminating Akira. I studied the behavior of both humans and demons for decades before finally being dropped in the middle of the forest where I happened to find him. However, he did not show signs of this 'deadly demon' who would kill me without question. You see, Akira is supposed to be some sort of symbol to the demonic race, signifying that humans' souls can be taken without consequences. With that being said, there is supposed to be some sort of rebellion triggered by his existence in which both demons and fallen angels will band together and practically enslave the human race."

A heavy silence plagued the room once Allura finished speaking and the woman looked at the two with a surprised expression on her face. "Well, why haven't you killed him yet, if that's the case?" She asked, startling the angel slightly; Allura did not know what to make of the question, but decided that the woman was simply curious and went on to answer it anyway.. "I can't kill him, not unless he show signs that he will harm innocent people." Allura said softly, looking away slightly as she did so. "It's a person rule for myself...anyone who dare tries to harm an innocent being will face my wrath." Her voice was firm and slightly threatening; that wasn't the only reason why she'd spared Akira's life, but that was all she was willing to say out loud. The woman seemed satisfied with that answer and shuffled over to Allura before helping her to her feet. "C'mon child. You need rest now...both of you." She added with a slight smile towards Akira before leading the tired angel out the room. Before she left though, Allura looked back and gave Akira a slight smile. "Rest well." Was all she said to him until she was out of view.

"Here you are. This is my room, but I don't mind letting you sleep here tonight." The old woman said as she helped Allura get into the bed. "Thank you...I really do appreciate this." The angel mumbled, her eyes already beginning to close. "I'll have another big breakfast ready for you two in the morning once you wake up..."

Hyugi could tell that the male was not a morning person by the way he groaned once he finally awakened. Sorry, but I'm more of a morning person than a night person. The king thought with a sigh, hoping that they wouldn't have any conflicts because of it. The sound of the window closing startled him from his thoughts and he looked over to the vampire with a surprised expression on his face. He can do that too? Just what else is this man capable of? He unintentionally began to think of all the 'super powers' that he had read about in books as a young boy for a moment before finally realizing that he man was waiting for him to say something.

"You must get up and put some clothing on before my servants come." Hyugi explained with a slight frown; he realized that he had no where to hide the man as his room was composed mainly of open space that of separate rooms. So he had to think of another idea, one that he figured would be more believable. "I'm going to tell them that you're the doctor that I summoned last night, but it would look questionable if you were lying here next to me." He added, glancing towards the door. The king knew that they only had a little bit of time left before the first servant arrived and he did not want to encounter the awkward moment that was bound to come, especially since his servants knew that he rarely let others in his room, let alone in his bed. Suddenly, a knock echoed throughout the room, making Hyugi jump slightly.

"King Hyugi, may I enter?" A feminine voice called from the other side of the door, followed by another light knock that made the king's face go pale.

"I-I, uhm, give me a moment please!" Hyugi stuttered uncharacteristically before turning to the male beside him and gesturing for him to get up. He didn't mean to be so demanding, but this was something would travel through the castle faster than wildfire and he did not want to think of the embarrassment that was bound to result from it.

Raine was too busy looking at the horrible condition that he was in to completely pay attention to what he saw saying. "Geeze Flake. Did you let them run all over you or something?" She mumbled, watching as the blood fell from his nose to the floor. He looked as though he needed medical attention now, but Oruin wasn't going to return from whatever he did during the day until later and she was almost sure that the guards would ignore her if she tried calling for help. Flake would just have to deal with it, but she was sure that it wouldn't bother him that much,...at least she hoped that it wouldn't.

"They can keep us in here for as long as they want. We're 'traitors' and they do not want to put the public in danger by letting us go...And sit back, you'll make the bleeding worst." Raine said as she gently but firmly pushed back on his shoulders until he was sitting upright once more. "Now, of course we don't have to stay in here for the rest of our lives...we can always find a way out of here, ya know?" Flake was a smart man; Raine knew that he would be able to think of something that would get them out of this mess. "Also, you'll just have to deal with any pain you're feeling until night falls. Oruin won't be back until then." She add, unaware that she had said her friend's name as if Flake was supposed to know who it was.

Oh okay~
I'll correct that then.
