-The Host-

V2 sat naked in an extravagantly decorated tub filled with bubbles. She sat with her back toward the mid-mother who was busy scrubbing the young girl's back from a stool outside of the tub. The young girl giggled as she poked and popped a bubble that landed on her nose. "Mid mother, I met a boy today."

"Is that so, young miss.." The mid mother responded robotically, showing no real interest.

"Yes, he had very pretty teeth. Big, white and shiny." She giggled.

Suddenly, it struck the old woman who the girl was talking about. "You mean the necromancer?"

"Necromancer?" V2 repeated. "What's...a necromancer?"

"Monsters," The elderly woman said in a harsh roar under her breath which caused V2 to snap around with a wavering eyes. The girl crossed her arms over her chest as if protecting herself from some sort of evil creature that was preparing to make prey of her. "Selfish monsters that wield the most devious of powers that they use to kill whoever they want and take whatever they want."

"Then Rio's not a monster!" V2 said with a child's conviction.

The old woman cackled. "Rio? That's his name is it?"

"Well, Lilith calls him God Eye...but he said I could call him..Rio."

"I'll tell you this child. He aint human. He's a monster and monsters like to eat little girls like you fro breakfast. That's enough talk. Get out of the tub so I can dry you off and go get dinner."
