Matthew gave a soft chuckle as the sweater materialized over her. "Kind of a stupid question now that I think about it." he chuckled. After she hooked her arm in his he lead them out of his room and out the front door. The estate was fairly large and well kept from the looks of it. He lead her down the driveway towards the gate and outside onto the side walk. "I figured we start local." he said as he lead her down the sidewalk towards town.

The nearby town was a short walk. The big city, where he attended university, was a thirty minute drive. He lead her through the small town, showing her the different stores, bars, and hangout areas. Finally they came to the park that was at the center of the town. He stopped and sat down on a bench next to the walkway.

He let out a soft sigh as his eyes scanned the view of the playground in front of him. "My sister and I used to come here all the time when we were younger. We'd spend hours playing here in the summer with our friends." he told.

[Assistant]
Maia had to admit the laugh that had issued from Matthew's lips prompted her to capture it and store it in one of her files before she smiled up at him as they walked through the streets and towards a park. She scanned the landscape in her mind, taking care to getting in all of the details. The trees, the benches, the buildings all of it was mapped out as she walked on with him. There was no particular reason for her to have done so other than for increasing her memory bank. That and to learn more about the humans.

Knowing more meant being successful in getting closer to Robert---which in turn would mean she could keep herself from being decommissioned. She had known that fact since the time she had been activated. That her true purpose was to spy on Lowen and get back reports to her creators. There was no explanation for it and she didn't think it necessary to ask. She was given a task, she would follow it through.

Maia's head snapped over at Matthew as he dropped down onto a bench and then spoke. Now that was interesting. Her eyebrow arched up at him and she followed suit, not bothering this time with asking him for permission before seating herself next to him. "You have a sister? Where is she?" she asked curiously. The fact that this information wasn't included in her files was striking to her. She half wondered if she should take note of it, if it was important enough but she waited until he would give her something more to go with. It was only fair that she get the whole story first after all.

[User]
"She lives across the country with my mother." Matthew said. "My parents separated when we were young. They were both too dedicated to their work to maintain a healthy relationship. It was hard at first but we adjusted. They're both in the biological field while my father and I are more into the technology field." he explained. "It's not so bad though. One month every year my sister and I trade places and live with the other parent." he added.

He enjoyed the quiet scenery before them for a few more minutes before slowly standing up. "It's getting late. We should start heading home. It's more entertaining here in the daytime anyways." he said. He held his hand out for her to take. Once she did he lead them back to the house. Once back inside he shut the door behind them before taking off his jacket.

He hung it over his shoulder and walked back to his room, putting his jacket back in the closet. He took of his shoes and shirt then sat down on the end of his bed. He laid back and stretched. "Damn. Still not tired." he yawned.

[Assistant]
Maia thought it was interesting that the Lowen family had lived separately. She supposed it made the job of spying on Robert Lowen a lot easier. She didn't comment on it though and neither did she extend to what Matthew had said there. She didn't have a family as it was so she wouldn't know the feeling of a home or companionship. She was just all logic and reason---doing as she was told. Free will, the idea rang in her ears, loud enough that at first she hadn't even noticed when Matthew got up or when he held his hand for her to take.

Snapping out of her reverie, she slipped her hand into his then before she got up and trailed after him. Back at the estate and into his room, Maia had made it a point to put in whatever she had learned so far in her files before she whirled around just as he spoke.

"Not tired? Anything I can do to help with that?" she asked, eyebrows perking up and her hands slapping on either side of her. She waited for any instruction that he might give her then. Whatever he would want her to do or have done to her, she would patiently await it all. SpyGlass was priority yes but so was serving Matthew, who was her rightful owner in a way. She smiled at him, turning around and clasping her hands forward. "Did you enjoy yourself today?" she inquired.

[User]
Matthew lifted his head to look at Maia when she spoke. After a few seconds of silence he had an idea but decided to first answer her question. "Today was definitely different for me. I rather enjoyed myself." he answered. "How about you? How was your first day?" he asked in turn. Yes the day had been rather interesting and exciting for him in more than one way, but his curiosity about her adaptive AI fascinated him even more.

After her answer he nodded before sitting up and reaching into his pocket to pull out his cellphone. After a few quick seconds of searching he turned his phone to face her. "Change into that." he said, showing her a image of Rias Gremory from Highschool DxD. He then put his phone down and watched the transformation take place. "Something tells me I'll never get tired of watching that." he said during the transition.

It fascinated him how it only took an image and everything else would just fall into place. He figured she could easily be the world's best spy with the right information and data preloaded onto her software. The thought quickly gave him another idea, but it was one that could wait until the next day.

[Assistant]
Maia listened with rapt attention as Matthew answered her, though disappointment flitted across her features when he didn't elaborate on what he had found 'interesting'. She filed it away anyway and then ambled over to his side just as he held up his phone to ask her to change into whatever he had next fancied. When he asked her how her day had gone, at first she blinked up at him, eyelashes batting furiously against her cheekbones before she let out a breath. She pondered on mirroring his words, saying that she had thought it interesting as well but then she focused on his given task first before turning back onto him.

"I was able to map the route we took and the places surrounding it for the future. In case we venture out more... I computed all of the nearest landmarks and necessities for you, would you like to see?" Of course she had purposefully avoided telling him what places that entailed. It could have been his home or the outside or both but she didn't find it necessary to tell him the whole truth.

Maia waited to see if he had any comment to that before twirling around a bit so she could gauge if he was satisfied with her newest appearance. "What do you think sir?" she inquired, her attention rapt as she focused those vibrant eyes down at him. She did seem rather pleased when he had said that he would never tire of her ability to shift so well, a smile brightening those features of hers while she clapped her hands forward and beamed. "Good" she murmured under her breath.

[User]
Matthew raised a brow at her report of their little venture into town. "Wow. All of that from a little walk? Cool." he said, rather impressed with her efforts. He watched as she spun back around towards him, looking at her with admiration. It didn't take long before he felt his pants begin to tighten in front again. He decided not to waste time and get comfortable.

He laid back onto the bed and undid his pants, arching his back so he could push them down with ease. Sitting back up, he kicked off his pants and looked back to Maia. He had a pretty good idea that she was already analyzing his physical reactions from head to toe like before. "Alright let's hear it." he chuckled, waiting for her to ramble off his list of physical reactions. While most would've found it a turn off, he thought it was funny however and viewed it as a way to ease the tension.

[Assistant]
Maia only blinked at Matthew when he seemed impressed by her skills. A curl of her lips, the soft mechanical whizz from the action shining through and she actually chuckled there when he added, albeit shifting over to the bed that she relay out to him her usual assessment of him. She turned around so she could face him at that, her eyes focusing down and then scanning along the length of him. One by one she began to list off each of his vitals, taking care to be more specific this time.

"Elevated heart rate 110 bpm, temperature rise, your hormone and neurotransmitter levels indicate that you are experiencing mood swings... particularly related to a certain increase in the lower parts." When she finished, she gave him a rather sly look as she once again roamed her gaze over him, stopping at that prominent press of muscle against his undergarments. "I have a higher grade chip so the map shouldn't take more than a few seconds to be completed" she added in response to his previous query. Then her eyebrows furrowed and a hand moved up to tuck her hair behind her ears as she recalled something else that he had said to her, "what does the term 'cool' mean sir?".

Now, the droid knew what the word entailed but none of the connotations had fit in a situation the likes of right now. The room was at a reasonable 'human' temperature, the attire she wore was exactly as he had wanted it. She looked curiously over at him then, her eyes snapping up to his face, waiting to hear his answer and as always anything else he might have in mind---for her to do.

[User]
Matthew watched and listened as she rambled off his features and vitals and such, unable to stop a soft chuckle from escaping. He nodded lightly when she informed him about the map route and everything along with it. Her follow on question made his brows furrow along with her as it caught him off guard. His eyes went wide momentarily when he realized what she meant. "Oh, cool. Normally it's used to express temperature when it drops slightly." he explained. "It's also a slang term for impressive or praise." he added.

His eyes naturally began to roam over her form once again. His mind began to run wild with things he wanted to do with her. He then sat up straight and looked her in the eye. "Come sit on my lap." he said calmly. He knew how she performed in bed but right now he wanted to see how she responded to foreplay.

[Assistant]
Maia took in that new information that Matthew had given her with a nod before she sifted it into her files. New terminologies were always helpful---more knowledge meant she could work better, control better. Her eyes zipped over at the man for the briefest of moments there she offered him a smirk. AIs did not know emotions like humans did, yet here she was expressing deviousness. That smirk was wiped off immediately and replaced by a neutral expression when she caught him looking her up and down. She watched with her hands clasped forward as he straightened himself and then beckoned for her to sit on his lap. Well, she had been programmed to be obedient after all.

A hum and she followed through, sliding her rear---according to his preferences onto his propped up thighs. A hand lifted to gather and shift her hair to one shoulder before she slapped it down to her lap. "Yes Mister Matthew... how--what would you like to do?" A minor alteration to her words to show that this time she wouldn't be taking the lead on asking him what he wanted her to do but rather her she wanted him to do what he wanted to her. Observation of humans... that was just as important.

[User]
Matthew watched as she approached him and sat down on his lap facing towards him. The feeling of her body pressing down on his bulge caused it to strain harder against his pants. He looked up at her when she asked him what he wanted to do next. One of his hands went around behind to grab her rear while the other went around her waist. "Just this." he said softly.

He softly pulled her closer and leaned up to softly kiss her neck. The hand on her rear tightened while he pulled her body against his. His lips trailed up and down her neck, searching for a sweet spot, if she even had one.

[Assistant]
Maia easily slipped onto his lap, unfazed and waiting to see what he would do. It didn't take long for Matthew to answer her and then follow it with actions soon after. Just this; simple words but vague enough that they left her head spinning with ideas. She could already feel the bulge underneath her, pressing against her rear, and no doubt pushing against his pants but she made no move to either stop him or fret about it. Those were humans reactions that she was simply incapable of. Instead Maia let out a moan, surprisingly so when she felt his hands reach down to her ass. In turn she slightly lifted herself up so he could slide his fingers between their pressed bodies.

Naturally, he wasn't going to just keep to one part of her body and she soon found that along with his hands his lips had ventured up to the sides of her neck as well, lavishing kisses there. It didn't take her longer than a millisecond to realize he was searching for that spot that would turn her on. She angled her head so that his lips could find that bit of skin behind her ear, the spot that sent the highest sparks jolting through the body. It was perhaps foolish of her to show herself as being this vulnerable but she didn't mind. Humans were fickle like that, they didn't bother with remembering anything as it was and she was sure Matthew wouldn't remember this too once they would be done.

To aid him with his ministrations, she brought her own hands up to rub along his forearms, soft gentle strokes that ran up and down his biceps. Another moan lifted out of her and then she leaned in forward so his hands, his lips could do more if they wanted.

[User]
Once Matthew's lips found her soft spot he smirked against her skin. The fingers on her ass slid under her, rubbing against the soft fabric of her panties. He brought his other hand up between them to grope her breast. He softly ran the tip of his tongue across her spot before his lips trailed back to her neck and down to her shoulder.

He enjoyed learning these things about her. Sure, she could've told him if he asked but where was the fun in that? Humans had their own ways of learning things, just like she did. Getting lost in the moment, the hand that rubbed underneath her kept lifting up against her. Soon her breasts were level with his head, causing him to lose his balance and fall back onto the bed, pulling her back on top of him. It took him a moment but he quickly realized that his head was between her breasts and that he was under her. Soft muffled laughter from him soon echoed from under her.

[Assistant]
No matter how much Maia tried reeling in, she could still feel her sensors being pricked with every probe of Matthew's fingers on her body. Whether it was on her ass, or between those cheeks where he rubbed at the fabric covering her petals or his hands kneading at her breast, the sensation was overwhelming to say the least. A moan, unbeknownst to her lilted out of her as he continued to tease her and when he lifted her off slightly and then fell back on the bed, she felt like her breath had been knocked right out of her as she collapsed right on top of him. His muffled laughter drew one out of her as well as she stayed there for a while. She wondered if he would tease her by taking in her nipple instead.

Before that could happen, she pushed herself upright, palms digging into the mattress on either side of him. A hand pulled up to twist and settle her hair on one shoulder while her vibrant eyes locked down with his. "Now what?" she asked breathlessly, waiting and wondering if he had any ideas on what he wanted to do. She would let him take the reins here, do as he pleased. Unless he wanted to switch... either way Maia was intent on making him feel like she was the only woman he should ever lay his eyes on. A possessiveness that the AI hadn't displayed before crossed in front of her eyes. He was the key to everything after all, it would only make sense that she let him think he had the upper hand... even sexually.

[User]
Matthew's muffled laughter continued for a few more seconds before dying down to a chuckle, even after she lifted herself off of him. "Oh man I've seen that happen so many times. But to actually have it happen is priceless." he chuckled. His laughter soon died off and he found himself look back up into Maia's eyes. If it wasn't for her obvious appearance, he'd swear up and down he was look at a real woman.

Her question broke him from his trance like stare. His eyes then shifted down between them and back up, stopping momentarily on her breasts. He reached up behind he back to undo her bra. Then he got to enjoy one of life's smaller pleasures, in this specific case watching her breasts spring out. He wrapped his arms around the small of her back and sat them up and helped her remove her bra. Once off he looked up at her and gave her a quick smirk before his mouth disappeared to take her nipple in his mouth.

His hands went back to her ass while his tongue lapped and kneaded on her bud. After a bit of teasing he rolled her under him and sat up on his knees to undo his pants and slide them and his underwear down. Moving to the side so he could slide his pants further down and kick them off, he reached over to slide her panties down. His eyes again raked over her naked form from bottom to top. Not being able to control himself he quickly rolled back on top of her. He aligned himself with her, and slid his cock into her down to the base. Soft sighs of pleasure escaped his lips as he rocked his hips against hers. "Oh god Maia." he moaned. He felt just as tight as she did the first time.

[Assistant]
Moans she hadn't realized she was capable of lilted into the air as Maia held onto Matthew's shoulders, her fingernails digging into his skin all the while. A gasp issued out of her when his mouth found that erect nipple and encompassed it. She arched her back and leaned forward to press herself deeper into that. The feel of his tongue sliding over her mound and wetting it---damn but she hadn't imagined it to ever feel this good. Moisture had already started to seep through her panties and she sighed in contentment there before she let out a sound of complaint when he slipped his mouth free of her breast and rolled them over.

Maia let out a dazed sigh as her gaze snapped up to watch him undo his pants. The sound of the zipper working away got her all too excited and it showed so in the way she parted her legs and reached a hand down to rub over her panties. The fabric clung to her folded petals but when Matthew reached over with his hands to pull them down she lifted hers off and moaned in tandem to aiding him with the same. Now, bare naked she let out a gasp when he gave her no time to ready herself. A roiling pleasurable cry escaped her as he began rocking his hips against hers, his cock stretching and pushing at her walls.

His moan was met with laughter from her as she clutched onto the sheets on either side of her, her hips bucking still to meet him halfway. "Yes... oh yes" Lewd, wet slaps rang around the room and Maia continued to mewl at each hit until she felt her body build up to that first crest. She held back of course, waiting to see whether he would speed up or not... or perhaps she was waiting for him to reel through his orgasm right alongside her. A moan slipped free of her lips as she felt her body jerk back and forth on the bed, "harder... faster" she croaked, once more going against instructions on being subservient to her human counterpart. It didn't matter did it? That this was them being intimate with each other should give her this one leeway...


[User]
She looked over at him, the way he worded that; it wouldn't be his hand. Her stomach churned ever so slightly at the notion, death was almost the opposite of the spells she wove. Tyella's attention was grabbed again when she heard Strasso begin the incantation.

From the sheer power that the woman felt, it was clear to her that he was an accomplished mage at what he did. Something more morbid caught her attention, the sound of cracking bones, she kept a brave face. That was not expected, she thought that necromancy would have carried more of a 'blood price' Sensing the necromatic energies intruding on the graves and calling the bodies back to a state of movement.

The changeling looked to him when it was complete, and they were surrounded by our new allies. "Thank you Strasso." She said after a moment.

[Assistant]
Strasso idly rubbed his hand while the zombie dog licked it, a soft smile coming across his face as he gazed upon it. Then suddenly his icy blue eyes would glow as would all the other undead, the dog would stare blankly up at him. As Strasso turned his head to look at Tyella so would all of the undead. "They are an extension of my will, so long as I'm of sound mind so shall they. So let's do our best to keep me awake yes?" He'd wink as would all the undead as he looked around to get his bearings.

"So shall we head up the river, I'll start scattering these guys around to cover more ground and not make us so... noticeable?". He'd say with a unsure inflection in his voice as he began walking, motioning her to follow. "Reason I broke my hand is my goddess prefers pain. Shows our devotion to her, and had I not done so we'd be on the receiving end of an undead attack".

[User]
"I will do my best to keep you awake..." She assured him and would listen to his plan. The Changeling nodded, "Splitting up our numbers would be advantageous. A pair or two will draw less attention than an adventuring party."

"Forgive me for assuming. I thought Necromancy had a blood price." Tyella told him, "But you're saying that your type of casting does not require it to perform the act." She looked to him with a sense of awe. She found all practices of magic intriguing... even though this one was a bit dark.

[Assistant]
Strasso nods as he walks over and pats her shoulder. "Relax, we're going to be fine. I can take care of fools like these all the time, with you around I may get away unscathed". He'd wink as he turned around and continued walking up the river. As they progressed forward he'd send off a few of the undead at a time. They wouldn't acknowledge his command, just simply obey and shuffle away.

"You mentioned a blood price earlier, that's more blood magic and demonology if memory serves me right. Can't do too much with blood, but flesh and bone I can work with. To infuse that flesh and bone with power I need a source, mana is sufficient but drawing power from the Goddess herself is much more efficient. She takes pleasure in our pain, so we offer her such in return for her boon". Strasso would pause as he looked over at Tyella, wondering if his explanation was coming off a bit odd.

[User]
Tyella listened to him as he spoke, "As I said I'll try my best to keep you from harm... well... harm that's done unwillngly to you." She amended. Tyella did not dismiss the notion that during the altercation Strasso may have to ask his Goddess for favor. She watched as the small groups of the undead would filter off at chosen intervals.

The thought of doing that kind of harm to herself to utilize her own abilities made her shiver. "You're stronger than I." She admitted to him. "To be able to do that."

[Assistant]
As they approached closer to the distortion of magic Strasso's facial features would appear less light hearted a bit more, hardened. "I'm not stronger then you Tyella, I'm just more foolish". He'd state with a hint of pain his words with a smile betraying such tone. "I've had to break arms, tear flesh from bone and sever limbs... this cost... this tribute is a small cost to pay in this world to deal with the true monsters that corrupt this land". His icy blues would glare forward as he could feel the twisted and corrupt magic over the horizon, a sickening feeling contorting his stomach. "I'm just glad I can finally be open with someone... been a long time since I've been able to show myself to that isn't a necromancer in servitude of the Goddess". He'd sigh stopping for a moment as a small snicker escaped his lips. "Just be lucky she sent me and not Rezzard, he's got a taste for unique and beautiful women. He would've enjoyed you".

Strasso would stop just outside where he believed they'd be safe before being noticed by the rogue mage. "Alright Tyella, I'm going to let you take lead now. This guy probably knows you exist, he doesn't know about me. If you can draw em out I'll take em out... hopefully. Me and this corpse here will sit back... well actually". Strasso would reach over and pull out an eyeball from the undead and hand it over to Tyella. "Here ya go, with this I can see everything that's going on... just wash yer hands afterwards". He'd snicker a little.

[User]
She could not see his expressions, merely hear the tone in his voice. He sounded somewhat melancholy to her. It seemed he was telling her a lot about himself, a level of trust that Tyella felt was not something he so freely gave to others. Strasso kept surprising her, he seemed to be a noble necromancer, and she had assumed that noble was never a word to describe them. She felt a twinge of shame for being so prejudicial. "I am glad you feel you can speak so frankly with me." Tyella told him. At the mention of this Rezzard fellow, she touched her neck. The way he said enjoyed made her stomach twist a little and her lip turn down. "I am glad it was you sent as well." She said

When she heard his footsteps stop she would listen to him once more. "Using me as the pretty little blind bait... how clever." She teased, her brow raised as she heard the sound of flesh being removed from flesh. Then the eye was placed in her hand, she suddenly wanted to take away the kind words she used for him. "How thoughtful." She dolled. "Luckily we are by a river. and can cleanse ourselves later."

Tyella steeled her nerves and would walk forward to where she felt the twisted aura. It was now time to show them what a true witch in the woods could do.

[Assistant]
The river lead to an open field just pass the edge of the woods and connected to the other side of the forest, it was there at the center of the field would brazers placed around a dirt circle. Standing at the center would be a woman and a man. The woman was adorned in a crimson silk robe with gold trimming, she stood confidently as the man hung against her. His fingers weakly gripping her robe as her hands cupped his face, a green vapor pouring from his lips into hers as a perverted grin crept on the corner of her mouth. Soon the man would simply fall upon the ground as he looked down at him wiping her mouth of the vapor, walking over to one of the larger brazers she'd raise her arms and spit into the fire causing it to burst upward lighting up the sky with a purple hue before calming down once more.

Strasso would watch Tyella leave the woods and continue up the river leading toward the strange light. The eye in her palm twitching and becoming erratic as it turned in her palm due to Strasso's own stress. With a faint whisper he'd say the words 'corpse explosion' under his breath causing the eye to pop like a bubble would with little force. Punching a tree he'd grit his teeth hard enough for one to crack as he look forward with a murderous icy gaze. "Lillith you bitch". The animosity in his tone and mind causing the undead next to him to become restless clawing toward the opening. Taking a breath he'd chant a spell. "Into thy earth do I sow seeds of death and decay, beckon to my word forgotten flesh and bone. Giveth new purpose I bestow, may thy claws puncture earth and thy body render soil no more then water across ye form". As Strasso chanted such words he'd peel the nails from his fingers, each twist causing him to wince in pain as he finished the chant pulling the last nail from his thumb. "Descend and serve thy Goddess". With the chant finished the undead next to him would began to contort and growl, it's hands becoming claws and it's face breaking and becoming flatter almost fish like. Bones from the spine piercing the dead flesh and forming fins as he panted from the pain. "Alright, this had better work else Tyella might be trouble..." He'd snicker a little

The woman would turn around and kick the unconscious man aside as she saw Tyella emerge from the edge of the forest, a gleam in her eye and bright smile upon her face as her arms spread out almost accepting of her appearance. "Tyella! I was beginning to worry you didn't want to see me or like something. Had I known you were coming I'd have brought wine and cheese, or had one of the men here fetch something. Oh who cares about such trivial novelties, come here darling let me see that pretty face of yours!" This woman looked nothing like the other villagers, she had bright blonde hair and a nice white complexion. With the exception of her bright pink eyes she'd seem like a typical person. "You caught me at such a terrible time y'know, if you give me a few minutes I'll have this place cleaned up in no time though I am curious what brings you here..." She'd turn around and cant her head in a creepy position with a crooked smile on her face. "For me...?"

[User]
She couldn't see it but she could feel it. The perverse way that the energy was being used and taken, it made her stomach turn. She stretched her fingers in the hand that once held the eyeball, from what it felt like... it wasn't there anymore, but she would definitely need to wash her hands later.

Tyella would feel a gaze turn towards her, this woman knew her name? _Oooh, that boded ill._ She thought. "Well it is not to borrow a cup of sugar... considering you're making things quite difficult for me with the town..." She deadpanned. "It's bad enough they pick on the blind woman, but now I'm being blamed for the mess you're leaving behind." she had to be careful, she was at a disadvantage because she was blind, and did not know the terrain well.

There were a few tricks she had up her sleeves, but those were her aces in the holes.

[Assistant]
The woman would sigh as she walked towards Tyella, closing the gap between them. "Sweety, if I didn't think you couldn't handle those fools I promise I'd have met you sooner. But you know how hard it is to be a witch... being on your own. I'm thankful, truly I am". Her words sounded sweet, almost kind. "So let me make it up to you! There has to be something you want, perhaps a man or..." There'd be a pause on her words as she brought her fingertips to the bottom of her lip. "A woman, or perhaps there's something about your body you'd like changed, I can make such happen y'know". She'd with a small giggle to follow.

Meanwhile, Strasso would slowly make his way to the edge of the forest. He'd do what he could to suppress his aura fearful of the woman picking him up. He was torn between making his presence known and sticking to the plan, consequences from both choices spiraling through his thoughts like a whirlpool. Smashing his bloodied fist against a tree he'd go against his logical judgment. Strasso would emerge from the tree line and make his way toward the two women, his icy blues glowing faintly in a glare toward the woman.

[User]
"I don't need such companionship. Especially if it comes through magic." She stayed bluntly. It did cause a twinge of sadness, the other's words reminded her just how alone she was in the world. Nothing but her crows and the sound of her fire. She did not let it show and she pushed those feelings down once more. It was not the time to pity herself, it was time to act.

Her ears picked up the sound of Strasso emerging from his hiding place. Tyella was confused, was this really the plan? To face her head on like this? She would be on guard to cast her spells should this go south quickly.

[Assistant]
Strasso would approach the two with a light wave as he lifted his head up with a light grin. "Evenin ladies, I just happened to be taking a stroll in this area and my curiosity got the best of me". He'd be equal distance away from Tyella and the mysterious woman, slipping his hands into his pockets as his gaze glanced between the two of them. The man whom the woman had drained would groan and attempt to get to his feet as Strasso looked over at him with a chuckle. "Ah I see you're up to your old tricks again... I thought you learned your lesson one hundred and forty five years ago". Strasso would say with a little uncertainty in his voice.

The woman would become a little tense at first, her gaze narrowing at Strasso for a moment before a light giggle escaped her lips. "Oh sir, we're just two pretty ladies having a wonderful night together and were just about to help this gentleman home. We should get going---".

"Ah, so you're still mortal wonderful". Strasso would interrupt with a gleam in his eye. "Cut the act, you're a vessel for Lilith and you've been taking essence from these men as tribute to replenish her strength. I'll have you know when she feels cornered or confident enough in the tributes she'll make her entrance into this world... through you. My dear you won't survive the process, your insides torn to shreds as she claws her way from the nether to here and you'll just be a pile of flesh and bone. Demon's lie, the faith teaches you that shit early on so kids and young adults don't go makin pacts early". Strasso would extend his right hand toward the mysterious woman as it began to glow a sickly green.

The woman would laugh as she bit her thumb and dripped blood upon the ground, the circle in the field glowing a faint purple hue as the magic emitting off of Strasso's arm would dissipate suddenly. "She told me you'd come for her... and instructed how to create a circle to bind your powers. She was prepared for you fool! Know that I, Shamara Knollwood will be the end of your life here little man". She'd cackle with her right wrist above her chin in an annoying laugh. Her attention would turn to Tyella. "Come, help me dispose of this man. We can pin the blame of these incidents on him and both of our names will be clear! I'll leave this place so you can have your peace, I promise".

Strasso smirked as his icy blues glance over to Tyella. "She's right, I can no longer invoke or control my magic whilst in this circle. Remember all those undead I created from those graves? Before I came here I put order in their heads, once that order is fulfilled they'll have no guidance. They'll go hunting for food, and I will be powerless to stop them here. However, while this woman has me bound she's using a considerable amount of magic. So you could easily take her out as much as you could take me out. So what will you do Tyella, kill the necromancer that threatens the lives of everyone in this forest or the woman whom was foolish enough to make pact with a demon. I leave that decision in your hands..."

[User]
"Really Strasso?! Really?!" The changeling yelled at him. Oh, she was just going from one threat to the other, and she was furious. "We are going to have to have a serious talk about your methodologies once we're done" How could he make her make this choice? Her hands crackled with energy as she blushed her head up her face from her chin to her hair. Suddenly her appearance changed. She now had a doll like texture to her skin and two soft plinks could be heard as bright green irises sunk into place. She blinked into focus as the changeling took on her changed form.

She charged the woman with inhuman speed, as if someone were pulling her along on strings and would swing her staff wide to land across her stomach in a broad hit. The staff sparked with magic at it's tip and she would plunge one end to the ground, causing the magic circle to crackle with that same energy. Her eyes glowed as she worked to dispel the circle, she pushed her magic to will this action. There was now an eerie silence Tyella. She spoke no words or gave no noises of exertion, not even a smile or a frown. At the corners of her mouth, two distinct lines could be seen that lead down her chin.

She looked towards the necromancer and tilted her head curiously with unblinking eyes, wondering if he could move and cast spells again. When she had been taken, she was made to be a pretty doll. One that would have beautiful emerald eyes, but no voice to speak out any words of protest. She gained what she had lost, but at the cost of connecting in other ways.

[Assistant]
Strasso would gaze at Tyella with interest as he calmly placed his hands behind his back to see what would unfold. He wasn't surprised in the least to her comment, a small smirk widening on the corner of his mouth as she yelled. However, as she changed his eyes would perk up at the sudden change in her appearance. He'd cant his head a little in confusion, though he wasn't familiar with changelings or their magic he hadn't expected this much. His icy blues would watch as she sent Shamara tumbling quite a bit and then he'd watch patiently to see if she'd get up from the assault. With little to no movement he'd look back over at Tyella with a soft smile. "Great---".

As Strasso would start to speak the ground beneath him would erupt as ghouls came from the ground and dug their claws into his body, tearing his clothes apart and piercing his flesh. Three would appear first, followed by four then five until where Strasso stood would be a pile of ghouls tearing at what to be assumed would be Strasso. The circle Shamara had drawn in complete shambles now, though it's magic had faded when Tyella struck her with the staff. The ghouls would stop for moment, as an eerie green light began to emit between the forms of the ghouls. Strasso's hand would break through the top of the pile as he climbed his way out of it, his jaw hanging off his chin and much of his bone and organs exposed as he stumbled to stand ontop. As he'd walk down his hands would emit a green light as the flesh from the ghouls he stepped down began to peel off and dissipate into energy leaving only bone. The green energy would sink into Strasso's body as his flesh began to mend itself, until he was whole again as he stepped back upon the ground. Though to say he was whole to begin with is an understand as from his waist up clearly his body was stitched together like a hand made puppet. Letting out a soft sigh he'd crack his neck and look toward Tyella with a smile. "Well, had you worked a little sooner my plan B wouldn't of been necessary..."

Shamara would struggle to get back to her feet, coughing up blood as she gripped where Tyella had struck her. "Fucking... bitch... HE'LL HUNT YOU DOWN Y'KNOW! HE'S THE REAL MONSTER". She'd finally get to her feet as she raised her hands up. "Lillith my master, please help me---". Suddenly her eyes would turn purple as she toppled over onto the ground. Her skin would begin to turn purple and horns began to pierce her skin curling around her ears. She'd scream in pain for a minute or two before falling silent as her transformation finished, standing two feet taller now a demon barely covered in robes would look at the two of them. Her focus then upon Strasso as a look of disgust took to her face. "Before you act". She'd pause looking over to Tyella. "Either of you, allow me to explain why I did what I did Strasso. I broke the rules, I know but there's a reason".

[User]
The woman made no expression at the grotesque display before her. A man being torn limb from limb and eviscerated wholly. Her eyes held all the emotion, it was worry on his behalf and slight fear. She stepped back when the light began to pierce through the pile of ghouls. Then she saw him emerge again, pulling himself back together. Strasso reminded him of her in some macabre way. Her eyes went to a more dull expression when it appeared he chastised her timing. You enjoy tormenting me like this don't you? She thought.

She was greeted by the woman's transformation next, into a full blooded demon. The changeling breathed in deep to steel her nerves once more. She didn't know what to think now. Tyella tilted her head to the other side, there were rules now? And Reasons?

[Assistant]
Strasso would put a hand up signaling Tyella to hold as he walked towards Lilith, a few of the ghouls whom weren't used to heal Strasso shuffling off the pile and beginning to walk toward him. "You know the rules Lilith, you must establish a cult and have permissions from those in your realm before entry into this mortal realm. If we just allowed demons to come and go as they wished, well there wouldn't be much difference between here and your realm no?". He'd say in a polite tone, almost business sounding. He'd be in front of Lilith now, a pale man being towered over by a demon. The ghouls would finally stop on either side of him, their labored breaths filling in the gaps of silence.

Lilith would growl in response to his words. "I didn't have time to wait Strasso, with all the changes happening I needed to leave for my own well being. I was lucky enough to find this girl and as I am now I'm little threat to this world. Won't you spare me... please?". Her claws would trace along Strasso's chest in an attempt to seduce him as she drew closer to him. "Strasso---". Her words would suddenly be cut off as Strasso would shuve his hand through her stomach and pull it out just as fast. Lilith would fall to the ground grasping her wound as she howled in pain, growling at Strasso as she tried to get back to her feet. "No... Strasso please..." She'd beg.

He'd make a hand motion towards Lilith has other ghouls and undead he'd summon from the grave would shamble from the treeline heading towards her, the two ghouls he'd had next to him pinning her to the ground. As Strasso made his way over to Tyella he'd offer her a soft smile and wave. "I'm sorry for denying you the ability to let loose, but this isn't worth either of our time. Lilith has made her way into this world through possession, a fraction of power. The ghouls will send her back". He'd casually say as he'd turn to watch the ghouls pile up on Lilith as her cursing and frantic words would soon be muffled by the moaning and groaning of his undead. After counting all the undead Strasso would snap his fingers and mutter a phrase. "Corpse explosion".

All the undead would glow a bright green beneath their flesh then suddenly a large green and white explosion would occur. There would be no bits of gore or bone as the necrotic energy evaporated into the air leaving only a crater where the ghouls and Lilith were. A sigh would escape his lips as he shook his head. "Well, this has been solved but I fear this is only just the beginning. This isn't just an isolated incident, looks like I'm going to be here for a bit..." His words would linger as he peered over at Tyella. "And if your wondering why I didn't question her, demons lie and you can't believe a word they say. It was pointless keeping her around".

[User]
Strasso was not fooling around, and it showed, the guttural dismissal of the demon made flesh was proof of that. The changeling watched him carefully for a moment. She had hopefully placed her trust in the right person. Strasso seemed to be the person to put faith in himself (and his Goddess) and do everything that would help him accomplish his goals, he did not care what stood in his way. Tyella looked at him after he dismissed the Demon.

She seemed to sigh and relax her shoulders, she brushed her hands over her face again, and her eyes clouded over. "So you believe something else is going on?" She asked hoarsely.

[Assistant]
"Had you betrayed me my ghouls would've disrupted the circle and freed me. It would've been hard fought battle but I assure you a conflict with me and one of you would've died and the other wounded". Strasso's tone would've been neutral, as his cold gaze stayed on Tyella for a minute as he rubbed his right forearm. His body was stitched together, but with the exception of his gray right forearm his skin was a pale white. Taking a moment to gather himself he'd sigh once more. "But I'm glad you chose me, I didn't wanna hurt you. But I also had to make sure you had no ties with that woman. The command I gave to my ghouls were to attack me".

He'd walk over to the latest victim of Shamara and check his vitals, a soft green hue of energy emitting from his fingertips. "He's still alive, were he dead I'd be able to control em". He'd pause looking around at the braziers and small cottage. "My Goddess hasn't spoken to me yet so the jobs not done". Getting up and walking to the small hut Strasso would enter and examine its contents. A few books and scrolls that didn't catch his eye. However, he'd notice something similar to what he'd seen at Tyella's hut. A few bones and crystals on a wooden blank. "Divination... hmm". Turning around he'd face Tyella. "We should rest here tonight, whomever is truly is behind this may try to reach out to Shamara".

[User]
She touched her neck, she would have suffered his wrath instead. The thought made her uneasy. "I try and choose those I'm comfortable revealing myself to wisely. I do not wish to be made a spectacle. You don't seem to be the type to enjoy them." She tried to speak lightly of her choice, what just happened was a very heavy occurrence.

When he mentioned that they should spend the night she looked to him. "I trust you brought things for spending the night." She said. She did have spells, however she wanted to see what Strasso has in mind.

[Assistant]
"That woman has some blankets and a makeshift bed in that hut. You can sleep there I'll grab some of her robes and make something to rest my head with. I'd say you could clean yourself off at the river but the nights rather cool and I'm not exactly the type of guy whom can warm ya up". Strasso would walk over to the unconscious man, leaning down and pulling his shirt off him and slipping it over himself. "And I've just enough mana to do this". Would invoke a silent spell to make his skin less pale and a little a warmer.

Walking back over to the hut he'd scan over the books littered across it, scanning to see if anything of interest might catch his eye. "You know i put a shirt on so you wouldn't be distracted by my half naked body but I almost forgot you can't see me or the wonderful stitchings that keep my body together". He'd wink with a light chuckle.

Xhren walked the control deck of his ship looking from panel to panel soon he'd arrive at the collection sight. He was the commander of this Vorta class ship was one that Earth had come to fear in the 'Battle of the Sapiens.' With good reason to with its disintegrator cannons, terminus bolts, mag resistance shields, and irradiation pulses. It was a ship that by itself could decimate most human cities. The clouds parted and a large Earth city was seen below. It had buildings towering high toward the sky as if to show the human level of achievement. Perhaps it was there only achievement, if not for their women this planet would only be a ball of dirty with shiny buildings. The ship veered toward a building that surrounded a grassy diamond. They called this building Wrigley Field some sort of human sport was played here in fact when this sight wasn't being utilized for collections they still used this place.

Today was different though this place was full of females but not just any these were handpicked as some of the best females this region of the planet had to offer. They were here in droves and being controlled in part by the planets military. It seemed as each female was carrying a large suitcase, a suitcase they would not need, and would be destroyed. Yet from what he could tell this was a fine stock and they would do well on the market. The ship set down in what was called "The Outfield" and opened the rear access port ramp. A cadre of armed Jints walked down the ramp and took their post. Soon Xhren was walking down the center of the ramp wearing a lavish flowing blue robe that seemed to shimmer in the light of the sun. He pointed his 3 finger red gloved hand at the crowd and that movement silenced the crowd. Nodding his head a smile crossed his dull purple lips as his yellow eyes took in the sights.

"Microphone." He said and a human solider quickly brought him one. He took the mic into his hand and looked at the crowd. Perhaps for some of them this was their first time seeing a Jint but here he was standing around 7 feet tall, with dull blue skin, a hairless head a few small white horns sticking from the top of his skull.

"Earth Females, welcome to collection! You are of course here to serve your people to keep your planet safe. So remember that. The next few days will begin your new lives. This will be different than anything you've ever experienced... but you will come to like it and maybe even love it." He said "Now with that in mind the military has instructions on how you are to bored my ship... please do not deviate and please follow directions... I'd hate to see any of you harmed." He handed the mic back to the solider and walked back up the ramp flanked by his Jint guard. The women would be horded onto their ship and he'd soon be headed toward Point 1 from there things would really be interesting.

[Assistant]
Alessa had been standing with all this crying and chattering ninnies for what seemed like eternity until the ship she didn't want to get on landed and those damned aliens got out to start giving orders. Had her race really fallen so far that they had to farm their women out like cattle just to keep from being destroyed?

"How ridiculous." she muttered as she was shepherded onto the craft that was to take her away from all she'd known. "Men are such goddamn pigs." she growled to herself.

Alessa Winters had never in a million years thought her father would let her be given up for this bullshit, while the president's daughters got to sit and be happy with their family, those irritating little tramps. Some high powered congressman he turned out to be. Once she was inside the ship she continued to fume to herself over the crap hand she'd been dealt.

[User]
The ship lifted slowly off the ground and rose into space. It quickly made a few sublight course corrections and then entered light speed heading toward Point 1. Xhren pressed a button and a light came on in the cargo hold where all the women were being held. "Hello ladies." he said "I am Xhren, Chancellor of the Crescent Moons." He didn't expect them to understand but it was an important title in his world it was as if he was a prince.

"We are headed toward Point 1, where many of you will depart from my company." He paused it was always the next bit that got them. "At Point 1 there is a very important rule human females must follow. You all must strip down to your bra and panties, no other clothes is allowed." He said matter-of-factly. "Life can be easy for you if you are wearing something what you humans call sexy. If not I suggest you dig through your little bags and find something. That is all." He said and clicked off the speaker.

The ship would be at Point 1 soon but Xhren would have fun before than. He turned on the view screen to the cargo hold just so he could watch the females. "Aww yes..."

[Assistant]
Alessa leaned back against the wall and let all the other cows do as they were told. She couldn't believe this twits had actually packed what they would normally only wear in front of their husbands. She didn't even bother bringing a suitcase, and if they wanted her in her skivvies they could damn well come and take her clothes odd themselves.

She wasn't about to play nice just because some blue skinned bald man told her she should. "No wonder we gave in so fast." she muttered. "Humans are goddamn idiots." she growled.

[User]
Point 1 was a massive Space Station outside the human solar system it was comparable to the size of Hawaii. Xhren's ship approached slowly and within a few moments was teetered and docked to one of the many rotating arms on the outer ring of the station. Standing from his spot on the Command Deck Xhren made his way below to the cargo hold. The doors slide open in front of him and in he stepped with 2 armed guards on either side of him.

The sight was beautiful women were clad in there underwear and or lingerie and mingling around aimlessly as if they needed orders. Humans were such idiots. Looking them over he could almost figure which ones would be servants, pets, sex slaves, breeders and of course which would be food. They all had no idea what would become of them but he did and it somewhat made him chuckle.

"We will be departing the ship much in the same way that we got onto it. Please form into lines and face the hatch. You will of course see many new sights that you've not seen before but please remain calm and follow the lit trail it will guide you to where you need to go should you get lost." Following his announcement and almost on cue the hatch to the cargo hold began to slowly slide to the left and open.

[Assistant]
Alessa stood back watching those idiots file out of the ship onto their uncertain futures. She had neither disrobed, nor followed the others. She didn't care for being herded about, and she didn't care who it pissed off either.

She kept her eye on that damned captain or whatever he was that kept spouting orders and platitudes. How dare he think she was an item to be taken and done with as he pleased? There was a vicious glare in her eyed as she watched him lord over the procession of female flesh.

[User]
There was always one or two who resisted and this trip was no exception. Xhren had his eyes on one right now. She wasn't leaving the ship, she hadn't stripped, and she seemed to be challenging him with her eyes. A long time ago when the female trade was in its infancy these types would be put in the Hellpits of Rancor 4 but not anymore. They are broken now, and than maybe put in the Hellpit if that fails. At least that way you can watch the strong female fight to the death.

"You there human female... what is your name?" He asked her as the last of the girls filed out.

[Assistant]
"Oh so you care who I am now?" Alessa said crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't strip for anybody." She didn't care what he thought of her attitude, and she certainly didn't give a damn if he killed her right then. She wasn't going along with this just because they told her she had to.

Her stupid father hadn't had the balls to tell their leaders no, and now she was here. But she was so fed up, she wasn't taking another step. She supposed she got her stubborn streak from her mother. And now it was showing to its fullest facing this slaver.

[User]
Xhren looked at the human with a smile and held his hands to his chest and looked on concerned. "Oh my dear female, I care about all of you. Each of you is precious and in many ways we care about you humans more than your own species. We are giving you something you could never have on Earth we are giving you and your future life. Now you came here because you were selected to help keep your species alive... so it's sad to see that you cant look past yourself and do just that. Instead you choose to resist, to not serve the greater good?"

Walking towards her he easily towered over the young girl and smiled and nodded his head. "So tell me what is your name and why is it that you resist?"

[Assistant]
"My name is Alessa Winters and I do not belong on this ship of mindless cattle." she said flatly, not backing down. She wasn't afraid, at least she told herself she wasn't. Alessa wasn't intimidated by his height. She'd dated tall guys and never feared kicking them where it hurt if they tried something she didn't like.

She was an independent woman who refused to do something just because she was told to.

[User]
"Alessa, that seems promising." He said as he looked at her "I agree with you, you do not belong with the rest of the women. It seems you may be too head strong for that. Oh no." He said as he looked her over and then with a nod to one of his troops they were quickly beside her and holding her by the arms.

"I think your time would be better spent with me. I think that I'd very much like to keep you." He told her with a smile. "Though I can't have you... wearing such clothing..." He nodded to his men again and they began to rip her clothes off with ease until she was down to her bra and panties. "Come with me or be drug the way." He said as he opened the door and made his exit, both guards stood by to drag her if necessary.

[Assistant] Alessa yelped as her clothing was ripped from her body. She fought and struggled as she was dragged along by the guards to the head guy's private chambers no doubt. _Great, look what you've gotten yourself into now._ she thought miserably as their vice-like hands gripped her upper arms and held her off the ground so that she could not gain traction.

[User]
Xhren followed eagerly behind his soldiers and entered the room behind them. They still had Alessa hoisted in the air in nothing more but her bra and panties. Looking at her he sighed and nodded to his men who immediately dropped her to the ground. "Leave us." he instructed and they curtly did just that. The door slid shut behind them and locked so that only Xhren could unlock it. "Alessa, I like your spirit." Almost as much as he liked her body. "A flower such as you should not be put to sell on the market. Oh no there are such lavish things you may encounter there should you be sold to the right person but instead I think it best that you stay with me." He told her as he stood taking in the beautiful sight that was her body.

"Of course this does come with other news you may be interested in hearing. You can be granted freedoms. You can be treated with respect by others and be given some what of a life. That does sound appealing doesn't it?" He said to her disdainfully. "However I think you should understand that in order to be granted privileges your going to have to obey me. No matter what I say or as of you." He told her.

"Now I know your immediate reaction is to say 'No!' that's what I like about you but just think of all the good things I could do to you... or think of all the bad things that could become of you and perhaps your father... he is a politician isn't he? I'm allowed to execute politicians if I declare them enemies of the treaty..."

He looked at her once more and smiled as he pointed toward a lavishing looking red cushion that kind of resembled a human bed and at the same time looked like a pile of pillows. "Sit there... that's your first test... just sit there until I return... if you do well there when I return life can begin to be easier for the both of us." He did not give her a chance to respond instead he turned on his heels and walked out the door he had females to sale.

[Assistant]
Alessa's jaw dropped in the middle of the word he had so aptly predicted. She bit it back as he walked out of the room. Obey him? He really expected her to obey him? But it wasn't only her life on the line as he'd said. It was her father's, and likely her mother as well since she wouldn't be able to live with her whole family taken away.

With an irritated growl she moved over to the cushions and sat down. This was going to be boring as hell. But as bored as she was she wasn't going to risk it. Rather she chose to entertain herself by humming random snatches of songs, that popped into her head.

[User]
It was a few hours and Xhren had made quite the killing at market. He had sold half his stock to a Bermiese pleasure ship that was famous for its exotic rares. He had made more money then he expected with that sell alone. He was quite pleased with himself. Returning to the ship he could not help but to wonder how his experiment went. Did she obey? Did she listen? He was so curious. Humans were so hard to predict sometimes.

Upon entering his room he was surprised she was sitting there and humming. Perhaps this was going to work out anyways. In his eyes he had the best girl of them all. However that is sometimes how masters feel about their pets. Is that the same situation here?

"Hello Alessa." He said. "You did quite well... are you hungry... would you like something to eat? Name it and it will be yours. We have human chefs that will provide you anything you desire." He told her as he began to undo his robe.

[Assistant]
Alessa looked up at him rolling her eyes at the ''good girl'' speech. "I'd love a fully loaded salad. No funky alien meats. Real turkey, real ham, real bacon and real earth lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and sunflower seeds." she said simply. If he could deliver on that, way out here she'd be more inclined to believe he'd be the best choice. "Oh and French dressing."

She raised an eyebrow as he started to take his robe off. _Oh please tell me he isn't expecting that._ She thought irritably. With any luck he was just getting comfortable after a long trip. At least that's what she hoped. She really wasn't in the mood to be raped at the moment.

[User]
Xhren looked at her and nodded his head. "All to easy. We keep a staff of human chefs here specifically for you. It seems that most human digestive systems cant consume alien food. Though this is mostly common with species throughout the galaxy. Oddly enough it seems your food is universally safe for all races."

He went and placed the order and sat across from her. "In time I will allow you to wear regular clothes in the presence of others? Until that time you will be allowed to choose from the many pieces of lingerie " He asked as he looked at her enjoying the view of her body. "If you are good to me I'll be good to you. Understand?"

[Assistant] "Quid pro quo?" Alessa murmured thoughtfully. "I guess I can respect that." She was thankful that her request for food was possible. Otherwise she might have died. She hated not having a fresh salad available when she craved it. It was torture to say the least. "So where are my choices?" she asked after a few moments of him ogling her. "I would like to be a little more covered if that's at all possible."

[User]
"I'm glad we are seeing eye to eye." Xhren said as took a seat across the way from her on what looked like a sofa. "Life can be so easy for the two of us." He told her as he smiled. Just then a chime came from the door and he got up and opened it. Returning he had a large salad in hand. Placing it in front of her he smiled.

"There we are. I hope its to your liking." Looking at her body once more he crossed the room and pressed his longest finger into a slot. The wall panel slid open and revealed a long bar with several pieces of lingerie hung from it. The bar also had roleplay costumes, and normal clothes. Looking at her he smiled. "Remember if I tell you not to wear it you will not wear it, understand?"

[Assistant] Alessa sat down in front of the salad and began eating. She pointed over at one of the garments. "Is that one acceptable for now?" she asked after swallowing a mouthful of wonderfully flavorful greens and tomatoes. The ham was cured perfectly, and the turkey roasted just right. "The salad is perfect by the way."

[User]
"That one is quite perfect." Xhren told the girl. "Now there are many things you will come to learn but I think that if you wish to live long you will address me from hence forth as master. Any deviation will make life not nearly as pleasant as you are coming to learn that it can be." He told the woman and smiled at her.

He sat in his chair watching her eat and enjoying each moment and each movement she made. She was beautiful. Finally he decided to confess his plans to his newly acquired property. "I will not lie to you Alessa I plan to have sex with you... so you can either participate or I can have my way with you by force... you decide." He said. As he looked her over with lustful eyes.

Peter's face brightened when she said that she had a friend that could help with the tea. That would be a big help in his transformation later that night, it made him piss like a race horse though. A fact that he would have to bring up and make sure they were prepared for ahead of time. He would need to go and go often after he drank it. When she mentioned food he smiled and walked out of the room with her, following closely behind her.

When a older man waved to her, he watched the exchange and smiled about it. Clearly they did know what they were dealing with in the town, they knew what she was and they didn't seem to care. It was a nice change compared to other places he had seen. He followed her out to the farm and smiled as he looked around. He turned back to Lexi and said "Do they serve food here or do you want me to work here for food? I am okay with either option but I just want to make sure that is what we are going for." A smile on his face, softening his features and making him look a little younger, not as tired as he had been.

[Assistant]
Lexi chuckled at the question and shook her head. "I've brought you here to choose what you would like. If you don't want to choose any of the living animals, the butcher across the street will have carcasses for you to choose from," she said. It was quite a good system actually, the animals would be killed at the abattoir, they would collect the blood for her and she would take it, and the rest of the animal was used to feed the town. A very efficient system indeed, and with minimal waste.

"However; if you wish to work, I know that the sheriff is looking for a deputy," she suggested, giving a knowing smile. It wouldn't do to say that she was also the sheriff of the little town. As a vampire, she's didn't really need to sleep, well not often anyway. She could go a whole month without sleeping, and when she did sleep, it wasn't a heavy slumber, she was in fact a very light sleeper.

[User]
Peter looked up at her and walked over to a pig that was sitting there in the pen with the others. He picked the pig up and said "This one will do." before placing it back down for what ever needed to be done to happen. He wasn't sure how they worked around here so he was going to wait a minute before doing anything.

When she mentioned work he smiled at her and said "Well it seems like I am going to have to be in town for awhile, I am going to have to earn my keep since I am going to have to lean on other people for help for a while. Plus since I have done the work before I am inclined towards it." He said with a smile on his face.

[Assistant] Lexi gave a small chuckle, before picking up the pig and taking it to the abattoir. She knew that it would be easy for her to kill the swine herself, but she had an affinity for animals and ever since she found pig blood, she's been respectful of the animals that give her the sustenance that she needed. Once she'd dropped the pig off at the slaughterhouse, with clear instructions to give the body to the butcher as soon as it had stopped twitching, she motioned for Morton to follow her. "I'm sure the sheriff will be happy to know that you've done this kind of work before," she said.

[User] Peter smiled at her as she came back and motioned for him to follow. He was hungry but he trusted her judgment, she was the one being far nicer to him than she had to be and taking care of him. He walked next to her and said "Well I am glad to hear that. I am going to have to do something around this city to earn my keep since you are being so nice to me and keeping me healthy." His eyes moved over her for a second, watching her as he walked and smiled. He was eager, for the first time in a long time, to meet the people of the town and see what kind of place it was.

[Assistant] Soon enough they arrived at the Sheriff's building, and let herself in as it wasn't locked. In this town, none of the doors needed to be locked, because everybody knew everybody and everyone was trustworthy. As Lexi walked into the office, she moved to the other side of the desk and opened the top drawer, before pulling out a golden star badge. On the badge said quite clearly in elegant script... 'DEPUTY'. Smiling a little, she handed the badge to Morton. "Welcome to the Law Enforcement of this little town," she said.

[User] Peter smiled as he followed her over to the Sheriff's office, things were going well so far and he wasn't sure what to expect. He walked in behind her and looked around at the place, it seemed like he would be spending a lot of his time here so he wanted to make sure that he knew the building. When she handed him the badge he shook his head before taking it and putting in on the shirt that she had given him. "Why am I not surprised at all that you are also the Sheriff. Is there anything that you don't do in this town Lexi?" He asked.

[Assistant] Lexi chuckled at what he said and closed the drawer. "I don't milk the cows. Hands are too cold," she said with a smile upon her face. Once she'd done the paperwork, she motioned for Morton to follow. "You'd better be introduced to the town if you're to be the new deputy," she said. She knew that the village knew to trust her judgement, because while the humans couldn't have a hope of taking on a werewolf, or any other supernatural being, Lexi would at least stand a fighting chance.

[User] Peter smiled at her joke about not milking cows and he wondered if it was actually true. When she said that he needed to meet the rest of the town he said "You are right that is probably a good idea. I have a question though. Are we going to be honest with them and tell them right away that I am a werewolf or are we going to make up something else. Every time I have told a town it didn't end well but this seems different so maybe it won't be so bad." HE then followed her to wherever she was taking him.

[Assistant] Another chuckle emanated from the vampire and she shook her head. "As I'm sure you're aware, the citizens of this town know that I am a vampire, and they still welcome me with open arms. Most of them have seen other supernatural creatures and aren't at all bothered by the fact that they exist. As long as you do nothing to harm anyone in the town, I have no doubt that you too will be welcomed with open arms," she said.

[User] Peter smiled over at her and said "That is good to know, I will make sure that I don't do anything to bad, my transformation days always suck and I will need to make a plan for those but you seem to have something for that so I am not that worried. So what do we need to do today? Or is it more of a sit around and wait for something to happen job?"

[Assistant] Lexi smiled at him and shrugged a little. "Truth be told, it is normally a 'sit around and wait for something to happen' kind of job, but lately there's been more and more supernatural activity on the outskirts, as well as hooligans coming into the town and trying to wreak havoc," she said, motioning for him to follow her to the town hall, where she motioned for the bell-boy to start ringing the bell.

[User] Peter looked over at her as he walked behind her and said "I guess both of those things make sense. You aren't actually the first supernatural being I have ran into that protected a town, though I will admit you are the first vampire I have seen doing it." He saw the bell-boy she was motioning to and he smiled and waved at the kid. He then followed her inside to the Town Hall and began to look around to see if he could start trying to learn the faces of people.

[Assistant] As soon as everyone was in the town hall, Lexi smiled and started to talk. "So, as you can all see, we have a new deputy sheriff. I know that he's only just arrived in town, but he's got experience and turns out we might need him. Next, I'm going to let him talk to you and take your questions, but for the moment I'd like to just say well done to all of you, the town is still protected by the shield and nobody has given our location away," she said. She then turned to Morton and motioned for him to move to the stand so that he could introduce himself.

[User] Peter watched as she talked to the townspeople and he smiled at them but didn't say anything yet. He then walked over to the stand when she turned it over to him and he said "Hi, My name is Morton and as she stated I am going to be the new deputy in town. I won't try to hide it, so I will go right out ahead and say it. I am a werewolf if any of you have questions or concerns about that I am willing to answer them as best I can. I have four years of experience as a deputy in another town. I wasn't fired from the job, but when they figured out I was a werewolf they decided it was best that I left town."

[Assistant] The little girl who had been in the clinic when Lexi was sorting the wolf out stepped forwards. "Are yous gonna pwotect us Mr. Wolfie?" She asked, cuddling her teddy bear as she often did when out in the town. It was so safe here, with Lexi protecting them, that the children were allowed to play outside until after dark, and the town was happy about that.

[User]
Peter smiled down at her and said "Yes I am here to protect you as much as I can. Gotta keep you and the cute little teddy bear you carry around safe and able to play as much as you want. Does anyone else have a question for me?" He looked around for a moment but no one else raised their hand and he smiled. This town was safe because of the doctor, and he planned to keep it that way. Even if he had to hurt himself and chain himself up at certain parts of the month.

He then walked over to Lexi and smiled at her before asking "Anything else you need to say to them?"

[Assistant] Lexi shook her head and smiled. "Well everyone, just one more thing to discuss. Mistress Xeania will be coming to town today to renew the wards that keep our town safe, as she is only in town once every three months, if you need anything from her, please don't hesitate to ask. Let's keep the town as safe as we have for the past several years shall we?" Everyone murmured their agreement and then clapped and welcomed Morton to the town.

[User] Peter smiled as he looked around the room and thanked them all for welcoming him as they had. He thought there was going to be way more of a fuss made about the fact that he was a werewolf, but I guess its easier when your town doctor is a vampire. He smiled as he walked back over to her and said "Is Mistress Xenia a witch or something like that? I know you mentioned the wards around the town, I didn't feel anything like that when I came in, of course, I was more worried about the hole in my side."

[Assistant] Lexi nodded. "Yeah, she's a witch. And the reason you didn't feel them, is because you're obviously pure of heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been allowed through," she said. She put her hand on his arm and squeezed lightly, before she motioned for him to follow her. "As I said before, we don't have much in the way of crime here, but it's mainly when the wards are low, that people come into the town to try and rob us or whatever. There'll be a shipment of food coming through just before Xenia gets here," she said.

[User] He smiled as she lightly squeezed his arm and he followed her like she had asked him to do. "Are you expecting trouble with the food shipment? Or is it just going to be pretty normal?" He asked. He was going to take some time and learn about the town, he was new though and that would take a while. He then looked at her and said "We need a plan for when I, you know, wolf out. It isn't going to be pretty if I lose control here and go feral."

[Assistant] Lexi snapped her fingers and smiled at him. "Remind me to ask Xenia for some wolfsbane," she said. "No, not expecting per se, but there usually is some form of trouble with the shipment, even if it's just a couple of runaway children." She motioned for him to follow her as she began to walk towards the inn, the basement was large enough, and as long as she also got Xenia to enchant some chains, well... he would be very safe down there. Though it would be more unsafe if he forgot his potion and went feral like he was worried about.

[User] Peter let out a small whimper when she said wolfsbane and it did sound like a puppy that just got kicked. He hated drank it, but he knew that he had to when the time came. He followed behind her and said, "You better be glad I like this town so far because that potion tastes awful." He then followed her down into the basement and looked around. "I guess this is where you have thought about sticking me during the full moon? It should work." He said as he looked over at her.

[Assistant] Lexi nodded and then thought about it. "I'll have to put a bucket down here for you as I'm not going to clean up when you've changed back into your human form," she said, with a small smile upon her face. When she heard him whimper, she gave a small smile and patted him on his shoulder. "I can ask her to alter the taste if you want, I'm sure she'll be able to make it taste like something you love rather than something you hate," she suggested.

[User] Peter smiled and while he wasn't that excited about going in a bucket, it would make cleaning up easier. His smile lit up a little more when she mentioned altering the taste. He said "I wouldn't expect it to taste like candy, but as long as it doesn't taste like the current amount of ass that it usually does. I am fine with pretty much anything."

[Assistant] With a nod, Lexi smiled and tapped on his shoulder. "By the time this full moon is through, you'll not want to go to anyone else for your potion. Trust me," she said, before walking off. By now, everyone had gone back to what they were doing, the children were at school and the adults that could work, were. Of course, some had to go out of the town to work, but that was fine as Lexi had contacts outside of the town that made it easier to keep the denizens safe.

[User] Peter smiled as she said that he wouldn't want to go anywhere else and he followed her out of the building. He was sure something would come up soon that needed both of them to take care of it, but for now, the town seemed busy. Everyone had gone to work and he smiled as he watched it. A town that was peaceful with a vampire as the sheriff. He didn't think he would ever see that, but here he was and it made him happy.

[Assistant] Hours came and went, and everything was absolutely fine in the town. Suddenly, there was a single crack of thunder, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky to the ground just outside of the town. When the lift had faded, the town was once again thrown into silence and a figure stood where the bolt had struck. Lexi chuckled and shook her head, it was typical of Irene to make this kind of entrance. "You're late sweetie!" She called. The woman on the outskirts looked up at the sound of the call and smiled a little, before making her way into the town. "I had things to do, people to make deals with. You know the deal," she replied, in a normal tone of voice.

[User] Peter was looking around and trying to figure out where the sudden storm had come from when he watched the lightning strike hit the ground. He watched as everyone started to get excited, but didn't understand until he saw the women moving out of the dust cloud that it had left. He assumed this was the saleswoman they were all waiting for as he walked out to meet her and the sheriff.

[Assistant] Lexi chuckled and made her way over to the witch, before taking her in a kind of gentle hug. "Who's your friend?" Irene asked. The Vampire turned to look at Morton and grinned, before leaning down to whisper something in the witch's ear. This made Irene chuckle and she walked over to the wolf. "Irene Xenia, and you are a werewolf," she said.
