"What are you looking for? Like.... What he looked like? Things he told me?" She asked, a brow raised as she headed to a shop downtown to get a few supplies.

"Physical attributes?" She questioned as she tried to think. "What would be most helpful to you?"

Caliux walked through the woods, his head tilted back as he looked through the branches to the dark sky above, starts twinkling as the occassional shooting star passed as well. He sighed to himself as he returned his head to a normal position and continued walking, his hearing picking up the hissing of the demons that lurked in the forest, suddenly the blast of a shotgun echoed through the trees, prompting Caliux to rush to the source to find a dark haired girl standing over a grounded demon with a shotgun pressed to the demon's temple.

"What are you doing?" He asked without thinking as he got the females attention....

[a-murder-of-muses]

She didn't believe a word he said, but she moved to the car none the less.

"If you want to go after him, we need to know how to kill him. He's not an average demon," she stated, turning the engine over before backing out of the driveway.

"I'm not going anywhere with you until you trll me what you want," she stated, standing her ground.

"I'd rather chase my own god damned tail like I was before than to have you doom me to hell or some shit...." Not that she thought heaven was an option. She just knew most deals with demons ended your life in ten years or less.

She locked the door, her bag over her shoulder before she turned to look to him, green hues bearing into his as of daring him to try and pull something. She was no stranger to creatures of hell.

"What do you want in return for helping me?" She questioned.

"Don't you dare tell me nothing. I know nothing is free. Especially not revenge."

[a-murder-of-muses]

"No, not really," she stated, handing them over. She saw what he was doing. That he was trying to get her to move for Ryat. Take steps to exact revenge.

"I don't know why you've suddenly taken this interest in Ryat or in making me more pissed off than I already was, but I'm gonna go back to hunting the same as I have been until I find out how to kill this bastard. I don't have a death wish."

When she came back down, she was fully dressed, her hair done, and her normal red lipstick perfectly in place.

"I don't plan on staying here, so you either get your things and leave, or you come with me. I don't care, but you aren't staying here," she stated.

"I'm locking this house and its ghosts back up."

[a-murder-of-muses]

His words burned into her mind and she let out a growl. She wanted to slap him. To smack the smirk right off his face, but she didn't need him hurting her again. Instead she let the coil in her core grow tighter with anger before she stepped up the stairs, locking the door to her room.

She took her shower, slinking down into the tub as she sat there letting the water hit her. Tears welled in her eyes before something in her chest felt like it broke loose, emotion flooding her as she cried.

[a-murder-of-muses]

"Of course I do. I want him to pay, but I also want to stop this from happening. I want to save other people from a fate like mine. There's a lot I want," she stated, moving toward the stairs.

"Well, regardless of why you're staying, stay down here and out of my room. I'm gonna go take a shower," she sighed. She didn't like that he could feel so much radiating from her.

[a-murder-of-muses]

"Well I didn't know that til I tried, did I?" She questioned, setting her nearly empty mug aside.

"You've been asking all the questions, so I want to ask one of my own," she stated, getting to her feet.

"Why are you still here? You taught me your lesson. You could easily be on your way."

[a-murder-of-muses]

"You could have. In fact I told you to," she replied a bit coldly.

"I would rather be dead than be a chew toy. As for the holy water, I just wanted to see if you were a demon. Most hellish creatures react negatively," she responded.

[a-murder-of-muses]

In truth, she didn't know. She didn't trust him, but she didn't hate him.

"Would it have done me any good?" She chimed back, emerald hues going to him. They were both sitting there half dressed and she couldn't help the bemused chuckle that left her lips. On the outside looking in, this would habe painted a much different picture of the night before.

"You showed me mercy by healing me, so I showed both kindness and self preservation by not continuing a cycle of pain," she muttered.

[a-murder-of-muses]

"Why would I? If you were asleep you couldn't hurt me," she muttered pointedly.

She didn't trust him yet. She had empathy for him though, and that made him even more dangerous.

"That and honestly some people are a force to be reckoned with when they're woken up. I know I'm one of them. I didn't want to face more of your wrath."

She felt judgement in his gaze. Whether it was real or not though, she wasn't certain. She hummed as she swallowed a sip of bitter coffee. She almost always drank it black.

"I was surprised to wake up this morning to be honest. I was almost sure you were going to kill me," she muttered, hands around the warm mug.

"Theres coffee, if you want it since you don't seem to be leaving."

When she woke the next morning, Onyx stretched gently, the day before settling over her like a nightmare she couldn't forget. She rolled over, her eyes finding the creature before her asleep in the floor as promised.

Her eyes traced over the scar on his back, lomg and jagged.

She swallowed thickly. It was a pain she understood. She sat up slowly, slipping from her bed before she crept quietly down the stairs to make coffee.

[a-murder-of-muses]

“I won’t have you strung up Onyx, i will literally wait right here” he said before sitting on the floor right by her door.

He sat there and leaned his head against the wall with a sigh. It was obvious she was completely exhausted. “I can heal wounds, not exhaustion so you sleep now okay?” He asked as he looked at her.

She didn’t trust him. She didn’t think she could, but she was so tired it didn’t seem to matter as much anymore as she padded into the bathroom in her bare feet. She had a glass she kept by her sink and she took a drink of water before she went to bed. She didn’t turn out the light, thinking for whatever reason she’d feel better about him being there if she didn’t.  Fear hid in darkness she supposed, but soon, she was asleep.

"Your soul will die? Soul's don't normally die?" Caliux said as he looked at her. "You are exhausted..go get some sleep"Caliux sighed as he looked at her. "You need some water too.." he added as he looked into her eyes.

His name was a little familiar to Caliux. "So because of a deal you got this?" He sighed.

“Yeah, that’s the jist of it,” She muttered before she moved toward her closet to find pajama pants to slip on to hide her scars once more.  She was still on edge, but exhaustion was quickly winning out.  “You really think I’m going to sleep with you here?” She scoffed.  “Next time I wake up you’ll have me strung up again....”
