Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Contains implied 'fun' activities


Sterling is Jayoku's and Hunter is mine ^_^ ))

It was dark, and dim, the lights offered little in the way of viewing pleasure in the narrow stone like hallway deep under the facilities at Seven of Seven, there was a silent sound of steps. Even, sure footed, nothing seemed sneaky or hesitant in the strides, yet...for all that it barely made a sound as it past by Shar's cell, and moved on to linger before J'her's. There was a sensor panel the lights blinking on and off to show that it was alive and working. The vague light that was available seem to flicker...and then it was black. The panel then let out a bit of a electric sound before it too went out. The sound of a door creaking open filled the hall. There was another sound of electric buzzing the faint smell of smoke...and ...something else.

"Hmmmm..." came the purring voice of the lust demon from the depths of the blackness, "This...is very interesting..."

***

Sterling was...frustrated...AGAIN. After seeing what had happened to the two boys with some bizarre incident with a demon they had no records of she had chewed the end off her pen off meticulously. It was late, Hunter was busy doing what he did best...being annoying. She brushed a hand through her hair as she went over the information on her clipboard again. The wings...just weren't healing themselves....but weren't they suppose to? She wondered idly if it was that because of the child's fast healing due to Shar's DNA was the reason behind it. Still...
She looked over her shoulder realizing just how late it was.

"I need coffee.." She announced as she went to stand up. "Coming?"

Hunter was using a pair of pens as drum sticks, raping them against his clipboard and then looked up at her with a smile, "Yeah, sure thing." He said as he rose to his feet more then happy to abandon boring work, "Makes you wonder, huh? What the hell tried to kill those too." It was really all he'd been thinking on going over the files. The pair that had been attacked seemed to be rather... accident prone. They were often getting in trouble and ending up here in either hospital beds or in cages... or both.

"Kinda funny... one would think a wrath beast would hold his own better in a fight... course you know what that makes me wonder?"

Sterling grumbled knowing better than to just let Hunter babble on. She too was curious to what could of been stronger than a wrath based child even if they were only half wrath. Full Wrath was plenty enough to deal with...never mind a blasted half bread.

"What?" She asked curtly knowing that he would probably keep going on anyway. It was just his way. She moved from the desk and strode towards the door and the opening it waited a bit impatiently for him to walk through and answer.

He followed along after her, "It makes me wonder, if we could catch the thing that did that to them and we tossed it into Shar's cage which would come out of it alive... or if both would kill each other... man that would be a hell of a fight to see." He seemed to be day dreaming over the fun of it, "Like a demonic dog fight, I bet it would be fun we could even take bets on it. Make some good money on a thing like that. Oh! And if there is a winner they can fight it out with Kerylia."

Sterling huffed a sigh knowing this was typical of Hunter. Couldn't he just take things a bit more seriously?

"The only point of that demonstration would be to test their strengths and limitations..." She sniped as she moved out into the hall her arms folded tightly against her chest. Sometimes she hated being female, it was obvious by the way that she wore no flattering clothes at all.
"Though it would be interesting to see them in their natural element. See who would back down the types of things they react too...." She murmured a bit more thoughtful on the idea. Okay so Hunter had not a half bad idea. But she doubted they would be able to convince a certian someone to let the test continue.

"Just need to figure out where they pair were attacked and we can send out a search party for that demon." He said with a grin, what was the sacrifice of a few lowbie techs if it meant catching a new demon. He grinned, looking thoughtful over the idea, "I guess we will need to wait for the wrath spawn to wake up and we can question him."

She snorted a bit tossing her head, "You think that beast will actually be helpful? He is more stubborn than a mule and more vicious than a rabid pit bull. " She snapped squaring her shoulders as they strode along the corridor they moved past the fairly secured and locked door that lead down into the dungeon. She didn't pass it a second glance...even though as they strode by the locks all started to slowly undo all on their own.

"Hmmm... your probably right, maybe the Lust spawn would be more useful and at least we know he is going to survive." He said then shook his head, "Meh, no... I can't really see that working either. I mean what's the likelihood that he would sell out one of his lovers." What a pain, they knew that there was an interesting demon out there somewhere but had no leads as to where it was... he gave a snort. A huge pain in the backside indeed.

Sterling nodded her head. The only ...vaguely useful demons were Enki..and he was just bloody annoying.

"Even...MR Vampy isn't that useful...you know I think...he is up to something.." She hissed through her teeth a shiver running up her back at the mention of his name. The ghostly silver haired man...that smile that looked more like a smug cat with the canary feathers stuck to his lips....

"Hey do..you smell that?" She inquired stopping suddenly, she thought she had caught something...sweet smelling. But it..was really faint. Maybe..someone else was working late and brought doughnuts?

"I agree, we need to think of another way to bring in demons and angels so we can kick him out. Hes starting to act out of turn and its starting to get on my nerves." Hunter said in agreement, Vampy had to go. It wasn't as though they really needed him anymore, he wasn't even doing his job.... lazy b*****d... they had hired him on to catch demons and angels and after getting a few of each kind he just started to sit around in his office lazily, pretending to be in charge... people like that were just more trouble then they were worth.

"Hmm?" He tilted his head and sniffed at the air, something was in the air... where had he smelled that scent before. It was at the edge of his thoughts but he couldn't recalled, like it were just out of reach of his remembering.

Moving around..she for once felt a bit more at ease...relaxed she uncrossed her arms as she tried to figure out where she had smelled that...scent before. She felt goosebumps on her arms, and she...strangely went to trace a nail along the length of her lower lip ina very girly way. She flickered a look over to Hunter a moment, her eyes boggled. Had...he always looked that good? She had never really appreciated his slight form his hair in disarray but suddenly it was like she was seeing him in a new light. Her breathing quickened as her heart began to pound and strange and weird thoughts began to cross her mind.

"Hu..Hunter...I..think..I know that smell..B..but I can't recall..." she gave a bit of a sigh at the last part though it sounded more like a small moan.

Hunter gave a sort of nod of agreement but really couldn't place it as he was to busy ogling his partner, you know... when she wasn't talking about work she was kind of cute wasn't she? He bet she would be even cuter if she were to take off those glasses and take down her hair... without even thinking about it he took a step closer and lifted a hand up to push her glasses back so they were sitting on the top of her head, "Mmmm... hey, I was right. You are pretty cute aren't you?"

Blinking a bit she looked a bit surprised and startled at the same time. No one had EVER called her cute before. She was at a loss for words when she reached out and ran a hair through his hair. Yeah...maybe she could like him...sorta...he..was annoying when he talked but...he was actually paying attention to her now. Taking a moment after her fingers managed to get tangled in his wild hair she used her other hand to take off his glasses were she then subtle licked one of the arms before putting it on his head awkwardly.

"...Your..not so bad either." She managed to breath wondering why now of all times this seemed to hit? And...so..suddenly? That...sweet scent was getting stronger now...she felt her heart skip a beat as she peered at his lips.

The question of where the scent was coming to was lost to Hunter, he found that really didn't care anymore... there were more interesting things at hand that he could do so why should be bother to think so hard on anything else? He took another step closer to Sterling, lifting his a hand up to catch hold of her chin, lifting it up so that he could press a kiss to her mouth. She was most definitely not his type but... at the moment she was the one he wanted, quite strange.

The small intake of breath was a gasp of pleasant surprise. Her brain was being muddled lost in the pool of perverted thoughts that flooded through her. No long did she care about the scent. It was those lips... she threw her arms around his neck in a passionate response, this all seemed like some horridly sick fairy tale were two geeks suddenly fell in love. But she was already past kissing, she kissed nearly feverishly at his lips and then clawed to get his shirt off.

Hunter returned her kisses just as enthusiastically before he drew back, looking around back and forth before giving a grin and led her quickly toward a nearby door that would bring the two of them into a janitor's closet. It wasn't exactly comfortable but he couldn't really think clearly enough to move to another room... this one would work well enough.

~ Fade to black ~

(( Contains gore and Evil Vampy! lol

Sterling and Vampy are Jayoku's. I am just doing the editting/posting. LOL ))

The smell of blood was something fierce, it leaked under the janitors closet door and into the hallway, it was sickening how it mingled with some obnoxiously sweet order, but the figure crossing over the marble floor now was immune to it, wearing a mask over his face as he reached over to yank the door open. It...was gruesome. Blood was everywhere, and was that a leg hanging on that bucket? He gave a snort of distaste. So...bestial...it sickened him. His golden gaze trailed along to where the hunched from was sitting devouring what was left of the poor scientist. He couldn't help but smirk, at least she was thorough even if a bit out of control.

"Time for you to go back J'her." He then looked around and frowned, there were no signs of the woman.

The lust demoness turned her head her beautiful face now gruesome and covered in blood and flesh. He caught sight of what was left of the body and actually felt ...a twinge of sickness. He himself had seen it countless of times...but...it had been a while.

"You got your part of the deal go back peacefully...and if your good you may be let out again." he purred in response and her wild gaze softened a bit, a growling laugh eased from her throat.

"I am..not finished.." She hissed a hint of anger in her tone, her breathing was ragged..she hadn't had human blood or meat in ...years. She wanted to savor it, this ...treat of hers but she watched her eyes narrowing as the man shook his head.

"No. You are going back to your cell now. You let your hunger and desire side-track you. The woman is still alive." His tone was low..but like ice, even J'her flinched as if he had dug a knife into her arm.

"I can...get her too..." she moaned at the thought of doing this all over again to feel her pulse under her fingers as she ripped flesh out... but he was shaking his head again.

"No...I was wrong to trust you on such a delicate matter. " He responded as he then snapped his fingers the outrage in J'her's eyes burned but then she was gone. Back in her cell chained up the magic now binding her there once again. The howling rage echoed through the corridors in the dungeon. Only no one but demon's could hear her outrage.

The man sighed , knowing he was going to have to ...have some sort of reason to explain this..mess. Rubbing his temples a sign of stress he then settled back down and then turned his back from the scene. leaving the door wide open, he would tell the staff someone had managed to get J'her free and she stalked and then killed him. He would come up with a flawless story by morning...when the mess was discovered. Now his primary goal was that annoying woman.

His scent was good, he followed it past the blood and sweetness hanging in the air and followed back to where Sterling had gone in. His mind pondered over the many simple ways of dispatching her, why he had started with J'her he couldn't figure himself other than he wanted no blood on his hands. His mind feverishly wondered what Almas would think about all this and he snapped that part of his brain off. Who cared what Almas thought? That traitor wasn't worth thinking about. his long strides finally brought him to the room Sterling was in.

HIs hand was raised as he pointed it in her direction, a spell already shooting off under his breath the power building and just like when he had done with Pepper power exploded out from his finger tips and straight for her unprotected back.

It then ricocheted off of her and destroyed half the room. Startled the woman turned with a half turn and gasp. Her eyes caught sight of him and she let out a strangled cry of outrage.
"W..what d...do you THINK YOUR DOING??" She snarled at the silver haired, golden eyed man she only knew as Mr. Vampy.

Vampy was at a loss for words for once, his normally calm demeanor and friendly face was all but replaced by blankness. It would probably terrify anyone who knew him well, he never broke his mask of calm. Suddenly the mask was back on, his smile was absent a frown in its place. He had his hand behind his back as he approached the situation not bothering to reply to her screams of accusations.

"Your with child." He stated bluntly in her face, it was the only thing his magic could not kill. A truly innocent, an unborn. With Pepper it had been different, for he lay outside the general rules of ...being alive and being given life. But this no this he couldn't touch. he was grinding his teeth in frustration.

"EXCUSE ME?" Sterling nearly spat at him in her fury. The flush on her face was evident that she thought Vampy had overheard her little romp around with Hunter.

"That is NONE of your business you monster! I want you to leave now! Leave this facility and never come back! You just tried to kill me!" She screeched, her voice was annoying, Vampy only sighed and then his smile returned, perhaps something could be gained from all this that little like blossoming inside of her would make an excellent experiment.

"I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not leaving. Yes I did try to kill you, but I can't." He explained with a roll of his shoulders as if he couldn't really do anything about it. For the moment anyway.

"But, you were also fraternizing with the staff....is this facility not suppose to be professional? By my right I should dismiss YOU from here." He smiled as he said the words the woman's face was beat red with anger she tried to retort but the words were choked in her throat.

"But...if you agree to my terms...I won't hurt you..and I will even let you stay..." The dangerous sparkle in his golden eyes were back as he eyed the woman's flat stomach. She didn't get it at first before she gasped.

"Are you serious? We...just...we just did that like..what an hour ago! It takes days before a woman's body even understands or..." She was stalling she knew she was, Vampy only smiled at her, her face contorted as she tried to not scream again.

"If you let me...experiment on the new life inside of you...I promise that no harm will come to you by my hands, I can even give you an illusion that will hide your...changing body. No one will know the difference..."

"NOOOO!" She shrieked back appalled by the idea of having a child.

"Then do you want to kill it?" He inquired with a tilt of his head curious that smile never leaving his smug face. His words caught the woman abruptly off guard. She didn't want to have a child, but ...could she live with herself if she were to abort it?

"No...I...wait your just trying to confuse me!" She snapped annoyed that she let him do that to her. He only laughed softly and she felt more enraged, "It would be my pleasure if I was capable of doing it to rip it from your dying body. But I cannot. So you have a choice I am giving you, I can...help you ..or make your life harder. If you stay here I am allowed to alter the DNA of the baby. An...experiment if you will..but...if you don't agree to my terms you will be dismissed." He explained almost cheerful. He was hedging ont he fact that Sterling was stubborn, she felt like she was the boss of this place...and if need be he was threatening her way of life.

Baby or no Baby...she...was out of her element in the normal world. She was thinking on it. "And...you wont kill me? you will just let me continue here as it was and then let you..mess...around with this thing inside of me?" She asked incredulously. Vampy nodded.

"You know I am a man.." He noticed her scowl and he only smiled deeper, "Oh honor. If you wish we could write up a contract.."

"NO...that is not needed." She knew what the contracts meant and she was sane enough to realize that they were always a bad idea when it came to him.

"Fine...I will trust your ...word..monster. But what about when this thing if born? Will you kill me then?" she asked trying not to think on it.

Vampy didn't pause, "no. I will not touch you in anyway or make an attempt on your life. " He responded sounding..business like. She seemed convinced.

"alright monster...for the sake of science show me what you can do."

Vampy smiled that all too well icy smile, she instantly regretted her words.
