Post #2776020 in Haunted Desire, a roleplay on RPG

Mathias knew LUke was right, but getting over something like this wasn't so easy. Sometimes he wished he had the mentality of a demon. Surely someone like Verena wouldn't have this problem. BUt Mathias different. He was raised and taught differently. During his years with the pack, he was always taught not to harm others. That included humans, hunters, supernaturals and yes, even demons. That's why his and Verena's relationship worked so well. His species was always thought to respect the lives of other beings. No matter how much his pack didn't trust Verena, they would never do anything to hurt her. They would never do anything to hurt anyone. "I'm sorry Luke..." the alpha put a soft hand on his shoulders to grab the younger wolf's attention and shook his head. "You have nothing to be sorry for, kid." There was a short pause, during which Vera came in with plates of food and set them on the table. Matt gave her a thankful smile before she disappeared into the kitchen again. "Look, I get why you're feeling guilty." Luke continued. "But if it'd been me, and any of my pack members were in danger...I would have done the same." Luke then took one of the plates from the table and handed it to Mathias. "Now eat, I can't have a hungry wolf showing up to work."

Eliana wasn't sure what she expected Tim's home to look like, but she wasn't surprised by it at all. It reflected his personality to a certain perfection. The Huntress took a quick look around before turning to Tim. "It's so nice and homey." she signed, her sentences slowly returning back to normal. The nerves were still present, however, they were a bit calmer than they had been on the ride over. Part of her blamed it on it being her first night at Tim's home, just the two of them. But she knew it wasn't just that...the face of that demon from the restaurant was so engraved into her head that she could hardly focus on anything else. She trusted Eli to take care of himself, and as much as she didn't want to admit it, she trusted Jake too. That didn't stop her from worrying. "I'm sorry I invited myself over so suddenly...It's just, um..." there were so many things Eliana wanted to share with Tim. About her work, about her brother dating a demon, about how she was a nervous wreck and couldn't focus on anything other than whether her brother would be okay or not. But they weren't his burdens to carry. He had already seen more than he should have with the random demon attack back at their campsite. She couldn't in good conscious pull him into such a dark and dangerous world. "Well nevermind. Pizza should be here soon."

Somewhere in the back of his mind, Jake knew Eli would eventually grow curious about him. About Verena. About his past. He had been fully preparing to answer the hunter's questions, but he had hoped it wouldn't be so soon. However, after everything that went down at the restaurant, it was to be expected. A soft sigh left the demon's lips as he set aside his phone and keys, and took a seat on the couch beside Eli. His deep blues held many secrets, and as much as he wanted to be completely honest with Eli, there were certain things he would rather keep to himself. At least for the time being.

"I'm over four centuries old, Eli...and just like humans change over time, so do supernatural beings." He let one arm hang over the back of the couch, taking Eli's own hand in the other. "I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of. When we were younger, Vera and I used to...kill for fun." as much as he had been the one to do it, saying it out loud made his stomach turn. "And even though I'm not like that anymore. I haven't been for a while...we still have a pretty strong reputation." he slowly let go of Eli's hand, trying to arrange his thoughts in the safest way he could possibly say them. "You're a hunter, so you know how demon ranks work. Vera and I are in the highest ranks when it comes to power." he paused, realizing this may be the first time he had ever talked to Eli about the subject. He would have rather avoided it completely, but all he could do now is hope Eli wouldn't treat him any different. As if on cue, the scattered tattoos that Jake had left at the restaurant finally returned to his arm as he continued. "There's only one demon that could be considered more powerful than our ranks. That's the one you say at the restaurant today."
