{{ O.ut O.f C.ookies; Then they are soo there. I've added more to my previous post and posting it here so we don't have to go back a page. Knowing now exactly where everyone is.}}

As the time seemed to go slower and slower, the twenty year old began to fidget more often. "What's taking him." There was slight concern in his voice, a bar wasn't a place to bring the boy, but frankly he didn't know where else to go. This isn't right.. He figured he should have taken the child to a more friendly surrounding, it made him slightly uncomfortable, a bar... He himself wasn't old enough to drink, what would a employee do if they saw a young child alone? The thought seemed to then flood his mind, his brother was at risk--at risk. And with this the twenty year old was quick to get to his feet, his aura slightly erratic, the very thought of his brother being in trouble making him completely insecure and dangerous. "Apollo.." The elder gritted his teeth, his eyebrows slightly narrowing, this wasn't the place to bring a child.. The only one to blame was himself, but as he approached the bathrooms Apollo left the bathroom alone and in perfect conditions. Causing the elder to halt, and release a slightly frustrated sigh. The adrenaline and emotions making his blood move faster, and opening the wounds on his arm, which started to dampen the adults sleeves. The adult was unaware, they were the least of his worries.


"..Orion..?" The boy questioned, kind of startled at the sudden appearance of the elder; who was clear something had worked him up, but the entire thing just seemed to confuse the young child. "...You're bleeding again? Let's go back to the table." Apollo was slightly disappointed, considering Orion would get so worked up in such amount of time, worked up enough to open the wounds he had lightly treated, and couldn't treat with the 'powers' in public. "We'll just wrap them up..." But the boy knew his elder would be unsatisfied and unhappy pulling off his sleeves, the very mention was responded with a silent but hearable, Tch..!

"I'll just deal with it later.." He slightly snapped, it was clear he wasn't going to pull up the sleeves, and with that they sat back down at their table. It was not long before the young child had dozed off next to the other, his hand unconciously gripped onto his brothers loose shirt. Glancing at the boy for a moment it was clear the older boy wasn't going to snooze is a shifty place as this, his right eye glancing at each of the people residing in the small bar. The whole place making him slightly uncomfortable.

Blinking for a moment the right eye glanced at the dozing youngster before watching the other approach. Her appearance was rather strange, he had not ever seen someone with actual ears and a tail.. It was a moment before he realized, causing his eyes to widen for a quick moment. The way she was reacting to approaching him slightly confused the elder of the two, gently he moved the sleeping child so he could get to his feet without waking him. It was clear he had hesitated to respond to the greeting, "No, you haven't...My name is Orion." He hadn't planned on introducing himself to anyone, or in fact getting to know anyone whatsoever. "And that's Apollo, my brother, I didn't want to wake him." Orion said in a slight mumble, glancing at the youngster once more. Hesitantly he extended his own, gloved hand, the gloves tips cut and showing the fingertips.  

[Natsa]

"Tch..! No, I'd rather not." An apparent frown appeared on his face as she noticed his arm, ignoring her statement for a moment he responded to her earlier question. " And..Uhm..Yes. I don't exactly know where I am to be honest." The young man gave a slightly fake nervous laugh, "We're kind of wanderers." The red head spoke in a slight mumble, the dull eyes glancing over at the younger sibling, suddenly feeling the urge to wake him up and find a reason to leave. Shoving the hands into his jean pockets he mumbled something queitly to himself, no one besides his brother will be healing this young mans wounds. "My brother will tend to me once he awakens. It's no rush." Orion's tone slightly distant, as he went to sit beside his brother once more. Looking up from the table for a moment he figured it wouldn't be right if he didn't offer, "You are welcome to join us if you like."  

[Natsa]

"Eh?!" He kind of snapped at her, slight stunned that she would know something he tried to hide about themselves so quickly. His startled snapping causing the younger brother to slightly stir, causing the adult to slightly face palm. Gently patting the younger males head, "I suppose that's workable." His tone mixed between disappointment yet slightly relaxed knowing that his 'kind' wasn't poorly thought of in this area. "Hope we didn't break into this area.." He mumbled, slightly concerned, something told him that the fence he had seen and got past with his brother's shielding them.. "Oh dear..."

{{Sorry movie is distracting me from quickly completing posts..}}  

[Natsa]

Her reaction kind of stunned the young man, a face braced for impact, something he was too well accustomed to. "Eh. I suppose my brother and I could help out. Although I work best when he's around.." He muttered the last portion quietly, as if he didn't want everyone to know without his brother he had bad composure and was antsy, it wouldn't take long for them to acknowledge he was off-balanced without him.. "Apollo, look's like we're staying awhile bud." He playfully elbowed the young child, enough to wake him from his slumber.

"Nn..What's wrong.." The youngster blinked slowly, noticing a third person amongst them. "Hm..I guess that's cool." The dark eyes looking at the other suspiciously, knowing that his brother had already spoken to her slightly relaxed the child.  

[Natsa]

The dark eyes stared at her for a moment before squinting slightly, with another nudge at his side he extended the small hand. "....Apollo." It was clear he would have not introduced himself if he hadn't gotten the nudge from the elder, his tone slightly unpleasant and uneventful. "Well, Orion seems to think highly of you at the current moment. Guess I can at least treat you with some respect. Nice to meet you." He spoke with a devious smile, being as young as he was he would go through devious stages.

"Apollo. It is unecessary to be so cold right of the bat with someone, you should know better." The red head spoke in a calmer tone, the right eye giving a disappointing look from the others behavior. Seeing the younger one frown made him smile gently and he rubbed the top of his head. "Excellent." And with that the smile vanished as his covered eye stung for a moment. How unpleasant, old man.

Elsewhere in Valhalla, while the others are making new friends and starting new lives, there is a predator on the loose. Making use of it's body's memories, he had a target in mind.
................................................

Sitting alone in his room, Alec Yates was writing in his small black book. The boy's demeanor was grim, much like his attire and surroundings. Various occultist paraphernalia lined the walls around him. Morbid depictions of death and suicide. He didn't have a room mate, no one wanted to room with him. He had come to Valhalla hoping that the people here would be more open and accepting. He was quickly disillusioned when he found out that the only open attitudes were toward their powers.

He normally wrote dark things in his book. People he disliked, accidents that he wished would befall them, poetry reflecting his despair. This day was different though. He had found a little light. The fox girl Kerana, who he found out was about his age, was the only person who ever spoke to him without a look of distaste. He had difficulty trusting her at first, but he came to accept her good nature as being genuine. He could never bring himself to say more than a few words to her though. He just didn't know how to react to kindness. The poem he wrote was about her, and how she had struck a match in his dark soul.

His mind was broken from his creative zone when the door to his room opened. He spun around in his chair to see one of the security guards, North. standing in his doorway. "What the hell man? What are you doing in my room?" Alec snapped.

North slid the door shut behind him and raised his hands defensively. He said reassuringly, "Ease up Alec. I'm just checking on everyone here. That emergency alarm has a lot of the residents shaken. I just wanted to make sure you were alright."

Alec's grimace said it all. He didn't care what North wanted. He wanted his solitude. He spins back around to his book and mutters, "I'm fine. You can go now." His hands returned to their creative task. A moment later they lock up in shocked atrophy. He looks up at the vanity mirror on his desk to see a talon dragging across his throat. The blood barely had time to flow before a creeping black and red substance engulfed him. The last thought that ran through his head was one of regret. He was planning on giving that poem to Kerana tomorrow.
..............................................................

Not a single drop of blood is spilled. The creature's metamorphosis finishes within seconds, and it's flesh halts it's motion. It looks up at the vanity mirror, inspecting it's appearance. Flawless, it looks exactly like Alec. It smiles, then looks down at the poem in the book. It entertains the notion of finishing the last few sentences. It chuckles softly, then closes the book. This boy is dead, his memories now part of the creature's collective unconscious. This was enough, the memories and abilities of the security guard and the student. It decides to tie up some loose ends, however.

Alec went largely ignored, but people would notice North's disappearance. It had to create an alibi. A trip to the surface, to see his mother? That sounds good. A quick message to the mother, and then informing his team. Yes, this will work just find. It's body shifts and grows, taking the appearance of North. It leaves Alec's room to complete the next part of it's plan to free the creator.

"No, Apollo will tend to it on our way to the Residence Office." The red head spoke in a slight mumble, as he picked up the long trenchcoat and gently grabbed the childs hand and assisted him. "Come on little man." He said with a slight smile, though complicated questions seemed to fill his mind; his intentions to hide his emotions, although it would be more difficult to hid them from his brother..

"Sure.." Apollo inspected the brother for a moment as he now stood next to him, gripping the injured arm tightly he noticed his elder flinch. Though the younger brother was being rougher than necessary, the hand that gripped his arm began to slightly glow. "Shall we?" He said with one of his devious smiles as he tightened his grip on the other slightly, "I'll be doing the talking until I'm finished. The youngster gave a playful wink at the older girl, Orion, not opposing his idea. "I tend to do better when Orion isn't fidgiting, and let me tell you, he's a fidgiter." With a disgruntled threat from the elder brother he gave a nervous laugh.
