Conversations with Dead People ((OPEN))

[Angel Killer]

With her energy now expelled, Angel made her way to the graveyard, a place where she thought she may be able to rest alone. She looked around the deep darkness of the place, it was certainly a fitting place for those who were now perminate sleeping state.

Her eyes had become red and puffy, as her tears had once again, like they always have, betrayed her, there was a slight breeze in the air as well tonight, gently blowing leaves off of the trees and tousling her long black hair blowing it behind her as she walked amoung the lines of head stones which their families had lovingly wrote nice things about them as their final tribute.

The one she had been looking for hadn't been too hard to spot, - Amy Southerland She had been married to a man named Harland, Angel's father, her real father, however there had been no body for him so they didn't bother with a tombstone.

Angel sat down and leaned beside the cold concrete block that was supposed to be representing her mother, she leanded her head to the side laying her head gently on her hand which laid on the top of the block, feeling for the first time in a long time the feelings of the night this woman who was now just a mere memory, who's bones were laying six feet in the ground, had her life ripped away from the world.

[Tiffany]

That was some good sleep back in Roman's castle, despite the fact that she'd slept with- no dammit, slept near Roman's babykiller brother. She could never imagine it before and it was uncomfortable at first, but it had been so easy to drift off with that warmth in the room... She didn't think she would be that tense near him again; sleeping in the same bed was a matter of trust after all, no matter who it was with. And she realized she wasn't that mad at him anymore, she'd never been actually; it was probably a defense mechanism to hide her tense.
After leaving the castle, Tiffany landed on a random place that her bats brought her to: A graveyard. Humans' graveyard. Those creatures really had such short life-spans, it was pitiful.

Walking between the tombstones, she felt the scent of a human: An alive one. As she got closer quietly, she recognized the scent: That was the human girl Roman had brought to the castle and slept with, the reason he'd almost peed in his pants in fear of his big brother. Tiffany saw her leaning against the tombstone, more like leaning into her mother's arms, sobbing quietly. For a while she watched the weeping girl who wasn't aware of her presence, then she approached and stood above her.
"Hello." Tiffany said softly, not really knowing why she was bothering to communicate with Roman's toy. As the girl looked up at her with confused, blotchy eyes, Tiffany saw the name on the tombstone. "Your mother?" She saw her nod. "I lost mine too," Tiffany said, "taken away from me at the age of eight... Leaving me in the demon world by myself, with creatures trying to eat me everywhere."
The girl seemed a bit shocked when she realized she was alone in the graveyard with a stranger demon, but Tiffany stood still like there was nothing, going on speaking softly: "I'm Tiffany. Roman's friend." She could see the uneasiness in the girl's eyes when she heard Roman's name. She chuckled. "I won't tell him that I met you, if you wish."

[Angel Killer]

Feeling as weak as a dear caught in it's killer's headlights, Angel looked up at Tiffany, her read blotchy eyes trying to see threw their own haze as she raised a hand to dry them. She wondered how long the woman- or self proclaimed demon, had sat there watching her suffering as she had let go of her day's emotion, she wondered suddenly how Tiffany had known, but realized, Tiffany was a demon, she probably knew these things.

Then she had heard something that she had thought made her blood run cold within her veins. A name that had made her that nervous she had to stop herself from shifting her gaze nervously in the graveyard, for fear that he may have the power to hear it and suddenly jump out at her at an instant. However, Tiffany had said the name, and she was pretty sure it was safe to assume that Roman wasn't present at the time so she allowed herself to relax, too out of energy to even really move from the spot where she was sitting next to the cold grey block she was leaning against.



" I'm Tiffany, Roman's friend." and then. "I won't tell him that I met you, if you wish."

It seemed like a nice enough gesture, so Angel nodded, " Please don't tell him." keeping weary as she hear the chuckle pass through Tiffany's lips, making her feel weary, then she added in hopes that he would hear about this meeting, " I think I've seen enough of him to know he's nothing special."


That made her feel a little better. She wasn't able to through around her anger towards him, but Tiffany, as they were friends probably would. Maybe, she wasn't quite sure though she thought as she sat in place trying to make something from the demon who stood in front of her.

[Tiffany]

Tiffany smirked at the last comment and the girl's weary look as they talked about Roman. "Should you be saying that," She started as she sat near Angel on the ground, keeping a distance not to make the already distressed girl more uncomfortable, "for a demon who managed to seduce you?"
She watched as Angel stayed silent, even more depressed about the thought of that event. "Roman is a very strong demon." Tiffany said, a bit more seriously. "An elite. It's easy for him to get anything he wants, it's always been like this... But he can't get you now, as I see. I know him well; it must be making him crazy, not being able to reach your heart..."
She examined Angel; although she was human, she had to have a strong will and courage to toss Roman Delowski off like this. Tiffany didn't know that humans could have such characteristics. But she knew that her friend wouldn't give up on the girl easily. "He might be disturbing to you now." She continued after a while. "But he's not as bad as he seems. He helped me a lot in the demon world when I was younger; protected me when I lost my mother... He didn't have to do it, but he did nevertheless." She smiled to herself with the memories. "Roman has a warm heart inside- a heart that can love passionately... You two should try to learn about each other more."

[Angel Killer]

Angel felt as though she was going to be sick, however perhaps it was all of the stress she was already feeling and now this demon was sitting beside her edging for her to become friends with Roman, the man who ruined any chance of her having any kind of relationship with Adrian, who was keeping a watch on her like a father watching a sick child who needed constant supervision. It unnerved her, and prevented her from any type of normal relationship, it would be pretty hard to answer a potential lover's question when they asked you who your first partner was.


" Yeah, maybe." She lied anyway, trying to keep a polite tone in her voice, it really wasn't Tiffany's fault that her friend was some sadistic moron who didn't know when he was dead lay down. Her eyes wandered over the graveyard, it felt almost safe, it felt as though it was brining down her defences, every once in a while she had to remind herself to remember Tiffany was a demon and that she may turn on her at any given time. But for now, she just tried to enjoy the company, enjoy the fact that she wasn't being judged for what she did, or didn't do.

[Tiffany]

Tiffany shook her head; she could see that her words weren't reaching the girl, she couldn't even stand hearing Roman's name. "Whatever." Tiffany said, looking away. "But he's not going to leave you alone anytime soon."
There was silence for a while except the little sounds of bugs in the graveyard, but the human seemed to like it, in a way. She seemed a bit more relaxed now. Tiffany had learned that Angel's mother were dead as well -which caused her to have a little sympathy for the girl- and she couldn't hold back another question; of something that she herself had no idea of...
"Do you have a father?"

[Angel Killer]

Angel sighed before answering, she didn't really know how to answer, Holland, her real father had died when she was young along with her mother, when Luke had rescued her he had taken her in and had filled the father role all of her life he had made sure she had gotten into school, and just generally looked after her. However after all of these accusations about her apparent murderous behavior she had no idea if she would ever have that relationship back.

" I did." She said quietly, " But, he's dead now." She kept silent for a moment longer, " A nice man took me in when I was young and kept me as his child."

Angel looked at Tiffany, wondering what all the questions were for, after all a demon with the ability to love was odd enough, a curious demon filtered danger, that's what everyone told her anyway.

There was something oddly familiar about the demon, now that she thought about it. She had seen her somewhere before, she brushed the feeling off though. Faces were always easily confusing, so she had probably mixed her up with someone else who had similar features before. " He's a demon hunter naturally." She added feeling suddenly bad for Tiffany who was turning out to be better company now that she stopped her talk of Roman, Luke was probably going to try and kill her too.

[Skyler]

Skyler walked through the isles of tombstones making his nightly visit in the graveyard where every night he hoped he would be able to make a valuable hunt to take back to the guard's headquaters to prove himself worthy of joining. He walked with a genuinely pleasent grin on his face, as his green eyes took in the site of the moonlight which hung high above in the sky, shining over the grass giving an eery feeling to the whole place.

He was feeling lucky as he grasped hold of the staff his father had passed down to him, one in which he had obtained by battling a highly powerful warlock of his time, his thoughts however were soon dissrupted by a faint sound coming from the eastern end of the field of dead, where he could hear two female voices. This was it, Skyler thought as he crouched down, heart pounding as he made his way closer to the voices, as he crept closer he could make out the two outlines of the women, both of which he knew very well.

Skyler stood up, this was going to be a nice catch.

[Tiffany]

Tiffany listened to the story carefully, staring into the girl's eyes. "I see." She finally said and looked down, a bit disappointed. So Angel wasn't someone who could tell her about having a father and how it felt.
She had been feeling some stalking presence for a minute now, and it was approaching in a clearly unfriendly manner. Angel didn't seem to realize it and Tiffany stayed still until the familiar hunter silently approached more, then she suddenly threw a dagger at that direction with a scary speed, making the human girl jump near her. Tiffany stood up as the young hunter she'd beaten before got out of his hiding spot. "Isn't that a familiar face." She said, staring at the guy with cold, emotionless eyes. "Came to bring my head to your... organization?"

[Skyler]

A look of disgust came upon Skyler's face as he took in the sight of Tiffany, and then at Angel who looked as though to him as she may have become the demons pet. There was once a time when he had hoped he would not have had to attack someone who was once his confidant, but now- it seemed he'd have no other choice, after all it was clear who Angel had chosen to align herself with.

Pure hatred washed away the kindness Skyler usually held deep within his eyes. Now he would have to finish this problem once and for all. " I'm afraid your head won't make it to the others." He said pulling out his staff ready for round two. " And as for you." He turned to Angel and pulled out a pair of metal cuffs, a look of inner torment washed suddenly over his face as he looked at the blue eyes that stared back at him, " Believe it or not, it's a much nicer fate than I would've given." was all he could say.

[Tiffany]

Tiffany looked at the cuffs he held, then at Angel, then at the cuffs again. She narrowed her eyes. "Maybe you should leave." She told Angel. "I can kick this half-breed's ass for a second time. The castle would be a safe place..." She trailed off as she saw the stressed look on the girl's face. "Just an idea." She mumbled, turning back to the hunter. "Go. Quick."

[Angel Killer]

Angel looked from Skyler to Tiffany and then back again. She could see the pained look in Skyler's eyes as he looked at her holding the cuffs up in the air, threatening to hold her captive. She nodded, giving Tiffany approval to deal with the backstabber as she saw fit, however she didn't think she would head off to the castle, besides she wasn't in the mood to deal with the stalker right now.

Instead she backed slowly away, keeping etched in her memory the way Skyler had looked here and now, as she was sure after the red haired demon got her hands on him he wasn't going to look the same afterwards.

Angel turned her back on the two of them and ran out of the graveyard.

[Skyler]

[dice=6]


Skyler watched as Angel turned and ran away, it didn't matter though, he would find her later he thought as he turned to his other advisary, Tiffany stood there eyeing him, likely remembering the first night that they had fought.

" It won't matter." he said to her, " I'll find her as soon as I'm done with you." His gaze was set, intent of winning this time, he wasn't going to let anymore innocent blood spill at the demon's hands weather it killed him in the process. " What ya say sweetheart? Round two?"[rand=6300601934098395537539479013761119954245858809562574446531940324]

[Tiffany]

[dice=6]

"Fine for me." Tiffany said coolly, standing still. She was going to grant the guy the chance to give the first blow... If he could. She opened her arms slightly and her bats gathered around her. "Show me what you got, half-breed." Before I rip that handsome face of yours for good this time.[rand=86297700770613242056996101961907659316186110380199956353135509043]

[Skyler]

A smile played on Skyler's face, he had been waiting, wanting to get his hands on this demon since the last time they had fought, and now it seemed as it was finally his moment.

" Careful dear, you might break a nail this time." He said pulling the staff in front of him and aiming it at her. Suddenly the staff expelled some of the energy it had towards her, missing her slightly, as it hit a nearby tree , the power from it knocking it over.

He needed to be more careful, for any mistakes against this demon could end up costing him his life. He didn't feel much like losing this time to the firey red head who had defeated him last time they had battled.
