Night
Blackness. A flash of light. This is what she first saw. Night time. That is what she first realized. The door behind her showed that it was dark outside. The room infront of her was filled with lively people, lights that kept flashing, and music that was loud. Too loud, it hurt her ears and her head, and the lights burned her eyes, the scent in the air burned her nose and her skin. It was all too much. A man, at least a foot taller than her, lightly touched her arm, she ripped it away. It was like acid, searing through her body. "Geeest...offfh..." Her words slurred out as though she were drunk, she wasn't sure how to make them come out clear. Her vision started doubling as she tried to focus on the mans face, trying to recognize him. Nothing, not that the dizziness was helping her memory. Stumbling towards the bar, he grabbed her again, this time she let him help her, even though the pain was excrutiating. "Thansks..." She managed to get out. Looking at him, squinting her eyes to see his face, "Whoo... are you.. by the way..?" Her words getting better, but it took her time.
The man gave her a look of astonishment, and fear. "Night...What...?" He had begun to talk, but then there was a look of pain on his own eyes. "Hey, are you alright?" Night said, she was about to offer to wipe his mind, but wasn't sure if she could manage it in her state. As she thought this a woman came over to the two of them and placed her hand on the mans shoulder, "Kable dear, you must learn to better control your emotions, you wouldn't want anyone to think that you were weak now would you?" Evil was the only way Night could describe the womans smile, nothing was kind about it, nothing caring. "I'll leave you two alone, along with the rest of your group. You shouldn't be able to leave here, my guards are very well trained." She looked towards the door, nodding at several men gathered there. Night's mind raced, she had no idea what this woman was talking about, or about what was going on. Shaking her head, she closed to eyes to the light. Her head still hurt, and her body still burned, but her nose had stopped burning and her ears were fine, she also assumed her speech was back to normal. "Don't bother the Innocents, or we will have problems." With that, the woman turned gracefully away, she was gorgeous, even Night could admit to that.
Turning back to the man, who she guessed was Kable, she asked him again, "Are you okay? Do you need me to help you? I assume she was a mind manipulator, I guessed because of the pain in your eyes." Why did she know these terms but she didn't even know her own name? Why did she know what an innocent was? Or Pures, or Deads? She didn't understand, more questions than there were answers. It bothered her, but this man might be the key to finding what she wanted to know. "I can wipe your mind if you want me to..." She trailed off as his faced whipped to look at her, he grabbed her face and pulled it close to his, he looked deep into her eyes. "Wha..." she started, but he cut her off.
"What did you do, Night?"

Kable
As soon as Kable walked in the door he felt a shift in the air, and it all seemed to focus around Night. He just didn't understand why. He was trying to probe her mind, do anything he could to get a hint at what she was thinking or doing, maybe she was trying to manipulate things outside of her again, but all he could pull was a blank. She was usually good at blocking his probes, but it was usually with a thought or an image, never with nothing. This was new. He probed harder, putting all of his focus into it, so much so that he barely saw the stumble in her step. That never happened. Night was flawless, she didn't trip, she never fell, she was graceful. A ballerina of sorts, at least with her speech and her walking. He grabbed her arm, immediately she ripped it away. Also, very unlike her. Night and Kable were very close, they shared everything with one another, and neither of them was afraid to touch the other, especially when each depended on the other one. "Geeest...offfh..." Her words cut through him, he felt pain from her brushing him off, as though she didn't care for him anymore. She walked on, again tripping, almost to the point of falling, he attempted to help her again, sighing with relief at finding no resistance this time. Maybe he had imagined it. As he thought back he remembered her words. Did I imagine the slur in her speech as well? he thought. This was all alittle much for him to take in, it didn't make it any better that he drawing a blank from her mind. Like there was no her.
Just as she thanked him his own mind went blank, and them images of his past flooded his mind. Not again he thought. Internally groaning at his emotional pain, he just needed to push through it, just to think about Night, and maybe it would go away. It didn't, nothing helped. It never did. Lilith never cared about what she did to Kable, and she knew that this was what could take him down the most. Lilith had placed a hand on his shoulder, it caused a pain to go through his body, almost made him double over in pain. It was part of the mind manipulators powers, if they touched you while they messed with your mind, they could cause you physical pain much easier. The pain he felt blocked out the words that she said to him. All he noticed was her hand leaving his body, and then the memories receeding as she walked away.
"Are you okay? Do you need me to help you? I assume she was a mind manipulator, I guessed because of the pain in your eyes." Her words weren't slurred or slow now, maybe he had imagined them. Her voice helped sooth his pain. "I can wipe your mind if you want me to..." Her words triggered something in him. It finally clicked, it all made sense. He walked closer to her, grabbed her face. "Wha..." she began, but he didn't let her finish. "What did you do, Night? This was all wrong, this could not have happened. He turned his thoughts to Jacob and forced the words She wiped her own mind.... at him. Communicating the thought. They needed to figure out what to do.
