"Leave now?" Strawberry stared at her a moment. "We don't know their lands. You seen what happened to your sister, she was killed trying to escape. What says that won't happen to the two of us as well. We need to find out more about this place, the perimeter and our masters before we can even think of a great escape." She stated, sitting down on her bed. "But which one of us is going to get to know the master first?" She asked.

I didn't really think like that. I wanted to say correction, whould want to get to know the master. But I didn't. I turned towrd her, settin my feet up. "Let's pick who we get to know first, gain there trust." I stated. "Do you want Aaron or Ruby?" I asked her. I didn't really like to show it, but I was scared out of my wits. hat's why I wanted to escape now.I cn't even think straight. And big surprise but Rubycares the most!

Strawberry thought about it. Ruby was an easier person to gain trust through, but their other master would be much harder. Then she thought about how her sister Cherry would have gotten herself killed. He said that he had no choice, but perhaps it was because of her personality, which also resignated in Strawberry as well. She shook her head, trying to push her sister's image out of her head before taking in a deep breath. "I think I should stay with Ruby. Aaron killed my sister, and I'm not sure why, which means that if it is personality issue then I will be killed easily." She stated, thinking it was the far choice, though it could be that neither of them were what the Daddy Vampire was looking for.

I nodded slowly, taking in a deep breath. "Maybe we should get some sleep." I stated and stood up to stretch. My mind immediatly went to the immage on Kassy laying dead on the ground. No heart beat, no blood pulsing, no soul. I whipped my head back forth, trying to shake away the image. Right now was not the best time to be thinking about that. I glanced at Strawberry, she had st her sister too and it seemed she was dealing with it better then Xelora has. I went to the white bed instead of the black one. It still had a slight smell of vanilla to it. I layed down and covered myself with the blankets. I had changed earlier from mblack dress to black fit jeans and a red shirt. I had cut a hole in the bottom so my tail stuck through other than that they felt comfortable as I dozed off into a comfortable sleep.

((Curious to know if you can do male characters. I'm thinking that Aaron needs a good friend, or something like that. And it would be nice to have another male.))

Strawberry watched Xelora shake her head, and then move over to her sister's bed and lay down. It was sad to see that Xelora was taking the loss of her twin badly, but it was none of her concern. Her sister, if they had not been separated for almost six years before coming here, she would probably have the same feeling. Her sister was human though, and it was only a matter of time before one of them was killed. Taking in a deep breath, she thought about how sleep would be a good thing, well now anyway, since the moon was high in the sky.

Deciding that it was not fair to keep the door close, the fox moved over and opened it up, looking upon the sleeping girl. Perhaps it would be harder for either one of them to want to get close to their masters, especially after everything that had happened. She took in a deep breath and went over to her bed with the little foxes running around the edges.

((Ya I can role-play male characters. Want me to make one or two??))

I slightly opened my eyes, it was still dark but I guess iwas the wolf in me. I sat up and oved towards the window, the wood had a slight chill to it. I turned to see Strwaberrystill asleep. I opened the window slightly not wanting to wake her. It opened with a slight creak but other than that it was quiet. The moon was high in the sky tonight and in a far distance I could hear the soft hoot of an owl. It was nice to breath in cool airinstead othe warm air in here.

I shut the window, tip toeing to the bed and laid back down. I closed my eyes and fell back asleep easily.

((One for now if you don't mind. I think Aaron needs a friend. And the girls are kinda overpowering the rp currently. ^.^ Cherry is a vampire now by the way, but she won't be in the rp for too much longer. I think after he trains her she is going to leave them...))

Just as the windows was being shut two bright crimson eyes turned away from the dark forest and peered up at the window. Aaron had been in the middle of hunting with a new friend of his. He could not help but feel guilty for the death of Strawberry's sister, but at the same time he did not want either of them to know what was going on in the woods. He heard the soft crackling of foot steps on the fallen leaves and turned his attention back to the bright pink haired woman with lovely deep hot-pink eyes. "You're still too loud, for a vampire that is..." he mumbled, rolling his crimson eyes before turning back toward the house. "Are you full?" he asked.

"I guess?" she said, rubbing the blood stains away from her lips. "Do you really live mainly off of rabbits? They don't taste too good. Kinda tart." She stated, staring at him as he took her in the secret enterance to his home.

"Do you want to accidently bite and kill your sister?" he stated softly, passing the corpse of Miss Kassy, a corpse he had hoped to turn into a vampire as well, but she was too far gone when he had found her in the woods. Soon he would do a burrial for the young woman, hoping it would be best for the two of them.

"No, I guess I don't." She mumbled and started toward her secret room. "Good night..." she stated, glancing over at Aaron as he shut the door behind her and barred it with a double steel bar.

"Good night, Cherry." He stated, and then started to walk into the main halls of his home just as the sun began to filter in. He took in a deep breath and yawned lightly. It was not often that he stayed up for more than 24 hours at a time, but he was going on 30, oh well. He would need to speak with Ruby and Xelora anyway about burying Kassy.

~*~*~*~

Strawberry woke up to the sun hitting her eyes and the faint whispers of the vampires in the other room. She heard Kassy's name and even Cherry's but not much else. She shuffled out of her bed and started toward the little girls room with a frown on her face when she saw Aaron. "What is going on?" she asked, glancing around the well furnished room.

"Is Xelora up?" Aaron asked almost immediately, ignoring Strawberry's question.

I woke and got up to stretch. My tail quiverig slitghtly through the jean material. Is Xelora up? I heard the familar voice of Aaron and my curiosity won over. I made my way to the beutiful room of Ruby's. I stood beside Strawberry. "I am now." I said and yawned. My eyes sseemed heavy.
_____________________

Abraxos moved silently down the road. His wings folded up onto his back. This would be his thrird day walking, he was looking for a vampire called Aaron Saint Cloude. He had heard the angels talking about him and how when he died tat he would be sent most likely to hell. So Abraxos made it his personal goal to piss off god and all the other angels by telling everyone that he heard was going to hell about it. In heaven that is a magor law and if you break it you will be a fallen angel. Too late for him though. He neared the mansion, sorounded by a huge gate. He would wait for Aaron to see him. Even though he could just fly over it.

Aaron turned his attention to Xelora as she entered Ruby's room. He did not really want to see her or Strawberry, for their losses were too deep for him to take in. He knew what it was like to loose someone that was close, but a twin was even harder to register. "I found your sister last night and put her in my catacombs. I thought you would like to do a proper ceremony for her and put her in my graveyard out back?" he asked, not making eye contact with Strawberry, but making sure that he had his full attention on the dark of the two women.

Strawberry side-stepped. Her heart was broken. Why would their master ask to bury Xelora's sister and not her own. Didn't Cherry matter at all? Did he care at all that he was the reason she bleed out and died in his own quarters. Without another word the woman with light strawberry-blond hair pushed passed Ruby and Aaron and basically ran down the halls. She could not take this.

"You should tell her..." Ruby muttered, hoping that Aaron heard her but Xelora didn't. Either way, she wished her father would tell the grieving girl that Cherry was still alive, just not in the sense that these two would understand as a proper life. Just as she was about to say more a maid entered the room and said something about a visitor.

"Will you?" Aaron said, glancing down at his daughter. She nodded and was out of the room in a speed of light.

After a short time Ruby was standing at the gate looking at their visitor with a soft smile. "Aaron is a little busy, but he told me to escort you to the house Uncle Abraxos..." Ruby smirked, opening the gate for him and holding her hand out to him.

I stared at Strawberry as she ran down the hall. Her face striken with greif. "Of course, I would like to give Kassy a proper ceremony." I did my best to not let my voice crack. My heart was still broken but I had to keep my sences alert. My mind replayed the conversation I had with Strawberry the night before. I looked out of the window and saw a man with white hair standing on the opposite of the gate. I turned my attention back to Aaron.How am I sopposed to gain his trust? "Can I go down there now?" I asked him, trying to look into his eyes.

____________

Ruby. He knew this girl very well in fact. Turned about maybe 1 centurie ago by Aaron. She was maybe 12 at the time I beleive. Or was it younger? He could never really remember. The girl stuck her hand out to him, he took a step forwrd and took it into his, as a little girl might do to walk with a father or older relative. She does have a gift of reading minds. He thought, was she scheduled to go to hell? Or was it heaven? Damnit, I can never remember.

"I hope neither," Ruby stated, glancing back at Abraxos with a small smile on her face. "I doubt father would like to know that you are thinking of what will happen to me when I die..." she said softly before turning her eyes back to the house when she spotted Strawberry running out the door, shifting into her large blazing fox form and then leaving into the forest. She knew the woman would go too far, this was her home now. But she was afraid that what happened to Kassy would happen to her as well.

Aaron moved his crimson eyes away from the mix-breed before him before looking out the window to see Aaron and Ruby hand-in-hand walking toward the house. "Do you mean to the catacombs?" he asked, his voice filled with innocence that he did not have a moment ago. "Of course, I'll take you down there myself." His back was suddenly turned to her, a notion only used to those who trusted someone at their back before leading her into the halls that lead to the dungeons.

"I meant no disrespect Miss. Ruby, I just came here to warn you and your father of sorts." Abraxos's voice was smooth as he saw the werefox girl Strawberry run off into the woods. Yes, sister of Cherry Windchime. Shame she doesn't know her sister is still alive, or unalive. Whatever. He knew almost every ones sins here, and everyone's good deeds so to say. "Go and make sure she does not die, it is not her time yet. " I said with the most respect I could. Strawberry was supposed to be married by now but something must of happened. 
________________

I followed Aaron down the halls toward the catacombs. His back turned towards me. Does he trust me that much? "Aaron, thank you for helping me bury my sister. " I said after a little while of walking. 

Ruby turned her attention to Ruby once Abraxos pointed out that she may injure herself. The young vampire took in a deep breath and let go of her uncle's hand before disappearing after the large fox in the woods. She just hoped that the man would not cause to much trouble within her father's home, or she would personally seek him out and take revenge on him. It was not often that her demonic side took over, but it did happen.

Meanwhile, in the catacombs of the castle, Aaron continued to lead Xelora to her sister. They passed by Cherry's room, but it was sealed tightly, and by now the girl was long gone asleep, so there was no sounds or sleeps to tell what was behind the large metal door. Then they came up to Kassy's body which was well bound in a type of cloth to keep her from being attacked by the rats. "I'm not sure what you wish for me to do, but whatever you want I will help provide. Whether it is a fire ceremonial burial you wish, or an actual in the ground. I am here to help." He stated.

I saw her body wwarapped in the gozz. It didn't smell like my sister, just of death. "Thank you Aaron. She always wanted to be returned to the earth." I said. My curiosity won over. "If you don't mind me asking but what behind that metal door." I said and nodded toward he door. 
_________________

I watched Ruby go. I turned and made my way to the front door, making long strides to the door. I stood and waited for Ruby. I did not want to show disrespect to this young looking vampire. 

After a few minutes Ruby appeared by the door and took Abraxos' hand. "Sorry. She is just a little upset, she'll be fine." Ruby stated, knowing that Strawberry had just found a small den out in the forest to lay within to comfort to think about her supposed dead sister. "Father is just this way," she stated when she opened the door, released his hand and made her way down into the catacombs of the castle. As they went deeper into the halls she heard the end of Xelora's question. She had not known there were any doors down in the basement, but if there were it was for new fledglings.

Aaron turned his eyes to the door and shook his head. "It is a new vampire..." his voice said softly. "When I make them I put them within that chamber to keep them from eating my servants and guests." He stated. "Unfortunately on a run last night I ran into a young woman who was dying. I thought would offer her a second chance... and she took it." He said, before turning his head to see Ruby and Abraxos.

((Sorry for not being on these past few days! I had problems with my internet))

Abraxos took his hand away gingerly from Ruby. He bowed toward Aaron, letting his pure whit hair fall over his thin face. "Aaron, it's a pleasure to meet you." He said even tone. He stood back up, straitening his loose white shirt. "I am Abraxos, apart of the former angel clan Quenga (kew-anga.) I have information of what would happen to you when you, how you say, die." He said calmly, glancing at the half breed. Xelora had the slight feeling that she was intruding on some thing, "I'm going to go look for Strawberry." She whispered slightly. She glanced at Aaron, waiting for his approval for her to leave.

Aaron's glance moved from Abraxos to Xelora before he nodded that it was okay for her to take her leave. There was no reason to sit here and listen to someone who may or may not have information on his own death to come. Then his crimson gaze returned to the man with a soft frown on his features. "You may proceed." Though Ruby was once again not happy with the angel of white.

Xelora speeded to the door, her hair witch had grown now to her shoulders seemed to be a mess. She opened them and ran after the scent of Strawberry by the trees. She turned into her half breed form and took her clothes into her mouth. Running after the scent. After a little hile of running, Xelora found Strawberry near some trees. "Strawberry?" She asked nervicely, pulling up the pants around her waist and the shirt ove over head.

Abraxos looked into Aaron's eyes for a moment then broke the gaze. "As you might tell I am fallen. And you may or may not know of me but I know of you and Ruby. I had heard and Arch-Angel speaking with another about your fate in the future. Even if I do not know when you will be deceased, I do know where you will go." Abraxos stated, keeping a calm and expression. Most fallen angel wouldn't dream to go to a home of a vampire considering they were practically human. "You are damned to hell to put it lightley, no offense intened just that I am here to warn you. But sad to say I do not remember what they spoke about to Ruby. But I do know that you can change your fate.' Abraxos propossed waiting for the expression of the vampire.

Aaron leaned against a wall, his daughter wrapping her hands lightly around his free arm, while the other stayed near the wall. His dark crimson eyes watched the angel intently. It was odd that the white figure even bothered coming to him with this information. Of course he knew he would be damned to the depths of fire instead of finding his way into the clouds above. He was a creature of disgust that went against God's creations. Against God's will in fact because he could cheat death on a daily bases.

"Why would a mere human," he considered the angel this because of his weak exterior. The vampire could crush him easily. "Warn me of my fate. What do you want from me?" he asked.

Abraxos smiled, his sleder hands brught infront of him at the vampires remark. "I do not want anything that you can grant me, Aaron." His eyes closed for a moment. "If you wish me gone, I shall leave. But if you would like to know how to cheat death and be granted to the gates above, you need only ask." His voice was a statement, not meant to really uestion the already angered vampire.

Aaron continued to study the white creature before him with his dangerous crimson eyes. With a deep sigh he brushed some of his daughter's hair away from her face. "And what is this information you have for me? How could a damned fool like myself please the one and only God into allowing me back into those shiny golden gates?" he requested, allowing his anger to relax a bit. This way his voice was not as hostile as it had been only minutes before this.
