Ro did not feel very comfortable in the wolves' den. The most there were growling which he assumed for him bringing a fellow pack member into the fold bloodied and covered in mud. Joy. he grumbled a little which only earned him a growl from Voss. His clothes looked as if its the only thing he wore for a year torn to shreds. Voss had covered her with a pelt to keep her modest among the men. " Will you all cool off. She was mad that I interrupted her fall to her death. You should be grateful he is one piece." Voss snatched him by the neck so that he was face to face with him." Boy, keep your mouth shut unless I ask again for an explanation. " He said with a shove so Ro stumbled back a bit hitting the screen table. He had a retort turn to ash in his mouth seeing that there was more than enough here to fight past his abilities.
Ro wondered why the woman had not come from her home after her alert. All here had seemed to care for Eliora. Voss would move between Ro and Eliora when she started to stir sending a growl in Ro's direction with daggers. " Eli calm your self. " He said in a calm yet stern voice. He did not want her to try and fight at the moment. She had much to tell him, why had she not spoken with him about her problems. He felt wounded that she felt she could not come to speak with him even after her leaving.
Ro seeing the healer wondered if he had hurt her enough to need one, he did smell the blood but it was because he had not had time to seal the wound he had given her with his fangs. In truth, he did not know how that worked. He moved a little and Voss stiffened telling him to be still.

As Anthony approached and saw folks gathering around he growled at them. “If you are non essential personnel, then get the fuck back to your posts.” there was grumbling among them but they reluctantly left. He stopped a few guardians and told them to guard the entryway. They took up posts without a word. Anthony motioned for Foxxy to head inside and he followed behind her. She flinched at the amount of palpable tension and hostility in the air.
BJ crossed his arms over his chest and glared at Ro from his position by the door. He sensed Anthony and Foxxy and turned to them though he immediately turned back to Eliora when he heard her whine in pain. He clenched his jaw and dug his nails in his skin to keep them to himself. What was she thinking? Why would she do this? He moved aside and allowed the beta and healer to enter.
Foxxy looked from Eliora to Ro then back again. She heard what he’d said and flinched as Voss shoved him away. Why does it seem like everytime she saw this woman, it was to treat her wounds? Why would she try to kill herself? It made no sense to Foxxy. But she couldnt stand the tension nor the animosity towards Ro when all he’d done was try to save Eliora. He wouldnt have brought her back here if he truly wanted to harm her. She turned amber-hazel eyes to Ro and bowed her head slightly to him.
“Thank you for bringing her back safely and in one peice.” she said softly , seeing as no one else seemed inclined to do so.
Anthony ignored Foxxy and Ro and looked at Eliora. Even injured she looked fierce and the look in her eyes chilled him to the bone but luckily it wasnt for him. He became uneasy when Voss moved in front of Eliora. He put his hand on the but of his gun ready to put a bullet in her head if she went for Voss. Bj saw and fought back his snarl.
Eliora turned her gaze to Voss and it softened for just a second before she went back to snarling at Ro. she held her arm against her abdomen as she slowly went to her haunches, the pelt that covered her slipping and she shifted into her Dalu form. She was significantly bigger, hairier and stronger in this form with ears, teeth and nails slightly pointed and her face is more angular. White fur covered her entire body. Even with her shift it did nothing to heal the wound on her arm. It was pulsing and the more it hurt the more pissed she became.
Foxxy noticed how she carried her wounded arm and slowly moved closer. “You’re hurt. Will you let me see your arm?” she asked softly.
The tone of her voice irritated Eliora and caused her to bare her teeth at her in warning for her to stay away from her. Anthony pulled Foxxy away, though she gave a small protest, the look on his face had her going quiet. When Ro moved, Eliora’ attention went back to him and she snarled again snapping and baring her teeth at him. She wanted to taste his blood on her tongue and his flesh give way under her claws.
Unfortunately, she knew that she was in no shape to take on her Gauru form, it would definitely kill her. The heaviness that held on to her body began to slowly fade as adrenaline began to pump through her system readying her to either fight or run. She saw Anthony’s movements and knew that he would kill her without hesitation. The situation angered her even further. It seemed to run out of control and everything seemed to piss her off even more.
She could not bring herself to look at Voss. she’d thought the way she had left was for the best. She hadnt wanted to hurt any of them and she definitely would have had she not left. But HE brought her back. Her claws bunched up the pelts as her muscles tensed as if she was about to launch herself at someone.

Ro shifted some hearing BJ growl he was not in the mood to fight again, his eyes kept flicking back to Eliora who seemed ready to fight him again. He had remained still watching the exchanges going on. He heard the young fox speak to him which made him smile." I could not take her to Sia's. And this was the last place I knew her feeling safe at." He said.
Voss moved again seeing her soften then growl again. " Anthony not helping." He said in a calm voice knowing he would be ready to shoot her. He watched Foxxy try and help her but be pulled back by Anthony when she gets more aggressive.
Voss would sit at the edge of the bed not staring at her but a little off so she did not feel even more threatened. Noticing she had bunched up made him have to try and relax that much more. He let out a soothing sigh. " Calm your self. If you will not let her see your leg. You must show me your alpha."
He was not commanding in his voice more calm and soothing. Ro watched her fascinated by her anger. He would then begin to feed again like a devil of the third circle of hell. Pulling everyone's emotions from the room, Voss felt it and glared at him.
Ro would move his selection of people excluding Voss. Something that would drain him more having a selected person emotions drained versus just the whole room. Whether she had ok'd him looking at her leg or not he would gently reach out as if to let her sniff his hand. If he could reach and pet her gently he might to try and calm her. And if she lashed out to bite him he would not make a move to harm her.

Eliora turned her gaze to Voss as he sat on the bed. Where he sat blocked her from launching herself at Ro. if she tried she would end up hurting Voss in the process and she didn’t want to do that. When he spoke, she fought back a whine. She glared at Ro before lowering her eyes to Voss when she turned back to him. Her body was still tense as if she were ready to bolt at the least bit of provocation. Slowly and tentatively she moved her arm to show Voss the wound but even that caused her pain and she let out an involuntary whine.
Eliora felt a familiar pull as her emotions were being drained from her. It actually helped to slate some of her aggression, though when one emotion was taken it was soon replaced by another until all that was left was her sorrow. It was never too far away no matter what other emotions she tried to use to mask it. It was never-ending and seemed to be even deeper than before as pain raked her.
Anthony bit back his own growl when told to stand down, but he did as he was told. He watched her closely as he eased his hand from his gun. BJ glared at him a moment before turning his attention back to the trio. Foxxy was trying very hard to stay calm but the situation made her anything but calm. She didnt want to add any unnecessary stress to the situation so she cleared her throat nervously before speaking again. “I-I’m going to step out. Maybe that will help her calm down.” She said and started to walk out then remembered her bag. She watched as Voss dared to get close to Eliora. Foxxy thought he was certifiably nuts but he was a man who would do whatever necessary to protect those he cared about so felt that if anyone could get through to Eliora, it would be him. She took her bag from her shoulder and slid it over to him. She gave a small smile before taking her leave and heading out to get some fresh air. When she felt some sort of pull on her, she became frantic and ran the rest of the way out.
Bj and Anthony became dizzy and a tad light-headed as their emotions were also drained. They were surprised and bewildered seeing as how they had never experienced anything like that before .they let out soft growls of discontent as they tried to compose themselves. Neither catching the look Voss gave Ro.
Eliora had pulled her arm back and snarled at Ro even as tears fell down her face. She was extremely vulnerable at the moment and she hated it but there was nothing she could do about it. She glared at Ro once ore with tear-filled eyes before turning back to Voss as he reached out to her. She immediately struck out at him but pulled back at the last moment before the her claws could really sink into him. Her heart raced as she fought herself. Her initial instinct was to protect herself thought logically she knew that Voss wasnt trying to hurt her. After a moment of intense growling and snarling, it began to get quieter as she steeled herself and forced herself to meet his calm with her own. She sat down cross-legged and gently held her arm out for him to inspect as she turned her head away from him.

Voss let her strike out at him if she must though as she calmed he would gently take her arm looking at it, he was thankful that Foxxy had tried to help by leaving her bag. Seeing the wound not healing he would sigh knowing why it had not." I, nor any other person can heal this. Except for Ro.
He is the one that caused the bite, and there is something in a vampire's saliva that keeps the wound from closing so they can feed further if need be." He said gently letting go of her arm." He is the only one that can be able to heal you. " He would slowly stand up moving to Ro shoving him against the table against." Fix it. Or I use you for a fucking chew toy." He snarled only surprised for a moment when Ro hissed at him.
Ro was not sure how to manage to close the wound, he had never done this before and no one had explained everything to being a vampire. That he remembered. Ro waited for Voss to move away from him so he could try and edge to Eliora, he assumed she would try and attack again so he was slow to move. Voss moved to Anthony looking at him." Why did you put a hit out on her?" He asked what he had not asked in a while.

At Voss’s words, she clenched her jaw forcing herself to remain calm. Of course, the one person she didn’t want touching her just so happened to be the only one who could heal her. That was just fucking perfect. She growled softly as she brought her arm back into her body and cradled it. She watched as Voss pushed Ro into the table and threaten him. Part of her felt bad for him and the other part simply didnt care as long as he fixed her arm. Though for whatever odd reason, when Ro hissed at Voss, it amused her.
She watched Ro very intently and closely as he slowly approached her. She narrowed her eyes at him but didnt make a move to strike him though she did lick her lips as if remembering his blood on them. ~*~
Anthony knew this conversation was a long time coming. He looked over at Eliora and Ro before looking back to Voss. “I didn what i felt was necessary at the time. When she came to me in the middle of the night, she was nearly feral and hanging on by a thread. She kept saying she needed to leave but couldnt. She demanded information on her family and her memories. She even threatened me and the members of the pack. She hated that she had created attachments here. The entire time we spoke, she fought with herself and it was very evident that she wouldnt be able to win that fight much longer. She already wanted to leave, so i let her. I specifically said that she was not allowed back in her at the time current state which was highly volatile and dangerous to not only herself but to us as well. If she were to return to the pack in that state they were to kill her on the spot. Because at that point it meant she lost the fight with herself and if she returned it wouldnt be a friendly reunion. Again, I did what i thought was needed at the time to protect the pack from her.” he said matter of factly.
If Voss were to have any issue with that decision then he would gladly accept whatever punishment he decided to give for the action. His stormy eyes turned back to Ro and Eliora as he watched the two closely.

After Voss had left Ro he would slowly approach her sitting at the edge of the bed as Voss had. He figured if he did this slowly she might not strike out at him. This was not the biggest of places to hold a fight.
He gently reached out for her arm." I am not sure how this works." He said. He had recalled several things he had been told in legend how to seal a vampires bite.
He would inch closer to her being slow about it. " Please give me your arm." He said softly to her his voice was timbered as he spoke to her. He noticed when he had hissed at voice it brought amusement to her. Him smiling slightly at the thought.
~*~
Voss would listen to his whole explanation shrugging his shoulders before placing his hand on Anthony's " I have since we met trusted your judgment." He said looking at him."But all do not fear her. Though I am very sure she should be by most. " She had yet to make him fear her again. He trusted her more than he probably should.
"It is my wish that we help her. If it even means confining her somewhere. She needs help. And someone has to give it to her." He said slapping his shoulder a few times. He too would turn to watch Ro and Eliora once he had spoken his peace.

Anthony gave Voss a slight bow of his head as he listened to his words. He sighed at the mention of wanting to help her. Truthfully, Anthony had no cl of how to help Eliora. He didnt wholly understand what she was, let alone how to help her but he could tell that Voss really did intend on helping her if he could. Anthony just hoped it didnt get him or the rest of them killed in the process. He saw Bj shift his weight, out of the corner of his eye though he kept his attention on the two on the bed.
Bj stood quietly watching all four of the other occupants in the room as things took place.As long as Anthony wasnt trying to outright kill Eliora because of his fear then he was fine with what was going down. He stayed vigilant in case things went south. BJ agreed with Voss, Eliora needed help and not all of them wanted to see her dead. He definitely didnt. He’d grown a fondness for the wild woman and would help Voss to the best of his ability to help her also.
~*~
Eliora growled softly when Ro came closer to her. When he statted that he was unsure how it works with him trying to fix her arm, she paused and looked at him incredulously. She then bared her fangs at him and snarled. If he didnt know what he was doing how could he possibly even hope to fix her arm? Her agitation began to slowly build at the thought. She growled low in a warning and didnt even budge to give him her arm but simply glared at him as he inched closer to her.
When he changed his tone and asked for her arm politely, she hesitated but slowly gave him her arm flinching at the pain of the movement. She could feel her heart race as nervous energy filled her with him being so close. His slight smile caught her off guard and made her narrow her eyes in suspicion. “What’s so funny?” she demanded with a soft growl. It was the first thing that she had said since she had awakened.

Voss watched his beta with an odd expression for a moment." What are you afraid of my beta?" He stared at him thinking that he was not afraid of a lot of things. But this woman that Voss saw as a tortured soul who needed at least one person to back her in her time of need. He saw how Bj was eyeing the beta with anger the whole time Anthony seemed ready to kill her before. " Beta walk with me." He said moving to slide the large door open. He would stop briefly to speak with Bj."I want her in one piece when I return Guardian." He said with a soft growl before he left.
Ro only could chuckle a little louder," I saw how you were entertained by my hissing at Voss." He said as he inched closer his fangs seemed to return to there doubled state saliva dripping from them. When she brought her arm around he leaned over as if to inspect them. Opening his mouth without thought some of the saliva dripped down on the wounds and would close healing them. Though she had a scar left where he had bitten her.
He seemed surprised that it was that simple, he gently let go of her arm watching her. " Do you want to talk on why you were up there?" He said noticing she had hated the fact that he had brought her there. He did not understand why she felt like a cornered animal in a place she should feel safe. He noticed only one left in the room was the guardian, he shrugged his shoulders noticing the man watching him. Now the wound was sealed he did not feel the need to drain her of the blood in her. It was something odd his first feeding that he was aware of.
His eyes clouded for a moment as he tried to see her and the man's soul in the room. Hers was shattered with a chunk missing, what struck him ass odd he could see the residue of something dark. It had his eyes return to normal, Bj's had cracked but seemed to be stable currently. He had wondered what her soul might taste like but seeing how it was nearly crushed he decided against sampling it.

Anthony was surprised at the question though he covered it up pretty quickly. He became uncomfortable at the question and eyed BJ. if he were to spk with Voss regarding that, then he was definitely not doing it in front of BJ or any of the other pack members. They didn’t need to know. He was about to say as much when Voss spoke up and said for them to walk.
He nodded his head and headed to the door behind Voss. He watched as Voss told BJ to pretty much keep an eye on things. Anthony and BJ shared a look and Anthony gave the big man aa silent apology and a slight incline of head and BJ did the same. Anthony Looked over his shoulder at Ro and Eliora once more before following Voss out
He was silent a moment, waiting until they were a bit further away from the others before speaking. “I-I wish I could be as comfortable around her as you are, Voss. Even as she is worked up you still look to befriend her and help her. I truly envy you. The history that the two of us share…” Anthony paused and rubbed the back of his neck. “We’ve done a lot of bad things to those people...her people. When I see her face, especially when she gets enraged, I see every single act that I had done to them…. to her. That beast that Benjamin forced us in front of...its as if it came back for us...for me….” he said and took a breath trying to loosen the tightness in his chest. “I know that it was killed decades ago, logically. But...i cant stop the unease, this fear that she is the embodiment of my past sins coming to claim me.” he said before heaving a deep sigh. “ i thought that we were starting to get past all of that during the trials but when she came to me in the middle of the night...the look in her eyes and the immense hatred that came from her, i knew i was only kidding myself to think that i could ever be forgiven for any of that.” he said and bowed his head in shame.
~*~
At Ro’s chuckle, Eliora found an involuntary blush claim her cheeks as she looked away from him in embarrassment. “I dont know why i found that amusing, it just was.” she muttered. Her face burned as she heard a smothered chuckle come from the door before it was covered with a cough. She narrowed her eyes at BJ who in turn feigned innocence. Her attention soon fell back on Ro as he moved even closer to her. She became stiff before forcing herself to stay calm, though that didnt slow her heart as it slammed against her ribs.
She grit her teeth in pain when he grabbed her arm and watched him with an odd fascination. She watched as he slobbed on her arm but watched in fascination as the wound healed and the pain went away. She tentatively touched the scars that was left from his bite and looked at him. She reached out and rubbed his saliva on him. “Here you can have that back.” she said with a sigh.
At his question, she placed her hands in her lap and looked down at them. Even without looking up, she knew that BJ was listening closely. “I thought t was pretty obvious,” she said dryly before she started to twist her fingers. “I was trying to kill myself, but i wanted to suffer at the same time. Not that i a new to suffering. It’s like Luna herself is taking great pleasure in my pain.” she shook her head and gave a derisive laugh. “Not that i am anything special for her to focus on. I-i left here for a reason and didnt want to come back for that same reason. I didnt want to hurt anyone here. I figured i was doing everybody a favor by killing myself. They wouldnt have to look over her shoulder in constant fear that i will kill them at any given turn or provocation. Admittedly since being here, i wasnt the nicest to many people but i had made friends here. But even they are not safe from me.” she said and paused.
“I have lost so much already what was one more thing, ya know? Besides,i know what awaits me on the other side. I have seen it, even visited it several times. My family is there and so is my peace.” she said softly.
BJ growled softly. “But what about your children Eliora? You cant just abandon them. Dont they deserve to meet their mother at least once?” he said with such earnest that it made Eliora flinch. She began to silently as she gave him a sad smile. “They already believe me to be dead. Why would i want to trouble them as i am? They are better off this way. Besides, i wouldnt be able to take a rejection from them. They have grown up not knowing me, they will be ok.” she said and looked down at her hands once more as her tears began to flow faster and her pain shook her.she couldnt stop the sob that escaped her as she wept.
It hurt BJ to see her this way, especially knowing that there wasnt much that he could possibly do to comfort her. He had grown to know her as a strong woman, not the broken soul in front of him. It hurt his heart and had tears prickling his own eyes. he was grateful when someone came knocking on the door asking about a supply run, he needed the distraction. “Now’s not the time, I’ll come find you when im done. In the meantime, go check with Jay.” he had forced himself to calm before he turned his attention back to Ro and Eliora.

Voss waited as they walked listening to how the man truly felt about what he had spoken of before of his life. " Each of us has something to answer for. Do not dishonor Kia by putting your self in this state of guilt. " He let out a sigh shrugging his shoulders." Eliora has killed just as readily as you did as a pup. Each of us by the moon is cursed to take an innocents life. " He said as they walked. " I am a wicked man my sins double yours and will continue to do so. You changed your life" He said poking him in the chest with his index finger to get his point across." If you have no chance at redemption then all of us are doomed. " He sighed putting his hands into his pockets.
His face was starting to grow a beard. It was just starting to come out of the scruffy stage. He wondered if he should shave it for Sia. He chuckled returning to his Beta's worries." Look Anthony in your youth you made some bad choices. You pay with that for everything you do from now on. " He shrugged his shoulders." Do you think she rather is tortured in chasing you for eternity than be happy?"
~*~
The blush she gave had only made him chuckle more when she blushed. To see such a powerful being have the simplest of emotions tickled him. He had heard Bj laugh which in turn had him feeling well for taking her mind off her sorrow for a bit even if it was to be angry at him.
Though when she wiped his drool back on him it only made him laugh more." Why thank you." He said heartily giving forth another chuckle as he stood. His good humor left him though when she spoke of sadness, it was often bitter that emotion something that he hated dining on most of the time. Depended on his mood. Though he found himself often taking it from people because knowing sadness himself he knew it was not an emotion that one likes.
Sensing Bj's emotion was roller-coaster of his sadness and the kind that came for caring for her as one comrade to another. He pretended to ignore it. " Well, I know what tired feels like. Your sadness can bring down weight making it hard to fight. " He shrugged his shoulders." But trying to kill your self painfully bods something darker then what you describe." He said tilting his head." If you wished to be punished I would be more then happy to help with that. " He spoke of her seeking him out as a client at The Kings Palace perhaps eventually." He knew now that Voss would not be allowing her to leave till she no longer wanted to kill herself. That was a given.

At the mention of Kia, Anthony flinched. He didnt mean to wallow in sadness or self-doubt. He’s told himself that as long as he had her, there was no real reason to look back but all the more reason to look forward. He took Voss’s words to heart, though he was taken aback when Voss poked him in the chest for emphasis. Anthony sighed. “No, im sure she wouldn’t want that. As much anger as she has, i know deep down she wishes to be just as happy and content as the rest of us,” he replied solemnly. “How are we going to help her?” he asked with a lifted brow.
~*~
She looked up at him as he got to his feet, her eyes glittering with unshed tears before she looked away. “Tired…. I am definitely tired of fighting especially when it gets me nowhere,” she said softly. She stiffened when he spoke of darker motives for wanting to punish herself. She knew that he was right but she didn’t dare look too closely into it.
When he offered to punish her, she stilled and she turned completely red as her body ran hot.. She wasnt sure how to take that comment. She knew he most likely meant something along the lines of corporal punishment but for some reason her mind took that innocent comment in a different direction. “I-” she started but her words got stuck in her throat. She growled softly and huffed, feeling stupid for her reaction. “I appreciate the offer but i will not submit so easily to your punishment and it may inadvertently cause PTSD.” She said through her tears. She still felt a deep sorrow within her but she was no longer sobbing. She’d long since accepted her tears as a common occurrence. She couldnt do anything about them.
She was running through a million thoughts through her mind all the while BJ stood at the door slightly uncomfortable by Eliora’s reaction to Ro, though he said nothing.

Voss smiled seeing he had come to his senses." I think something happened to her while she was with benjamin. She died and was brought back. Something wasn't right when it happened. "He shrugged and sighed."I do not know what has made her be in constant depression. But I have noticed she talks to her self sometimes." He mentioned scratching his beard. " We might have to seek help from someone." He sighed at the thought of it. " Do you know anyone that may know how to help her?" He said not knowing if he had any aces up his sleeve.
~*~
Ro would raise a brow at her responses and only chuckle."Have you had therapy for your PTSD? " He asked trying to skate over the fact she had taken what he suggested sexually. He looked at Bj seeing the disturbed look on his face and stretched." Submitting goes by each client differently of course." He said brushing to the subject again before chuckling and waving his hand." Perhaps you would like to rest."

Anthony listened as Voss spoke, trying to remember something ...anything from his days with Benjamin that could be remotely useful. He knew that Voss was right. He’d seen her talking to herself on many occasions while she had been working with him to set up the trials. He hadnt thought much of it and definitely didnt want to put his two cents in at the time, so he left her alone. Thinking back on it, it was probably not the best course of action because she seemed to only get worse. “Benjamin used to brag a lot about how he was able to enslave the enslavers or something like that all the time. It was kinda creepy the way he went on about it so i made myself scarce and didnt look too closely into. Whenever he got like that, it didnt bode well for those who held his attention.” Anthony said with a shrug.
He looked thoughtful for a moment as he wracked his brain trying to see who could possibly help them. Who else had about as much experience with Eliora and her than he and his brothers? He was stumped for a moment then one other person came to mind, causing him to frown very deeply. “There may be one other person,but im not entirely sure if bringing him in right now would be ther best for her at the moment.” he said as he thought of Alex. the man who had gone undercover as Eliora’s friend and had grown incredibly close to her and her family while working for benjamin. He was the original enforcer that was sent to bring them back.
If her reaction to him was bad, he could only imagine what it would be if she were to come face to face with him. Anthony gave a heavy sigh and rubbed the back of his neck.
~*~
Eliora growled softly at his chuckling before wiping her eyes. She gathered the top pelt up and wrapped it around herself as she shifted back to her normal human form. Her long white hair acted as a curtain for her to hide her face from them. She was grateful when he skated over her reaction to his words. She sighed when he mentioned therapy for her PTSD. “when you can find one that wont shit themselves from fear or hell end up torn apart during a session, let me know. you ‘ll get brownie points if you can find one that knows how to deal with a resurrected Forsaken wolf.” she said dryly.
Then she grit her teeth before speaking again. “I’ve been on the run majority of my life and by the time i wasnt...well i died and was resurrected,” she said with a shrug. “Even with the crappy childhood i endured, there was no therapy unless you counted fighting. Though i dont think that really solved much of anything.”
She surreptitiously peaked at Ro through the strands of her hair and pulled the pelt tighter around herself before closing her eyes and sighing. She stiffened and cocked her head at him lifting a brow. “Is that so? If i were to take you up on that offer of punishment, what would it entail? She asked curiously.” In truth it made no sense that she would subject herself to torment by another’s hand given her own personal experience with it. She felt she needed to punish herself for all that she had done and for all that she hadnt done, like for instance Anthony and his brothers. She couldnt bring herself to kill Anthony, though the jury was out on the other two. She had done nothing to avenge her family and from the looks of it she never would. She was pathetic….
Eliora paused. These were her thoughts, there was no annoying evil little voice in her head that was egging her on and driving her mad. She was alone in her head with her own thoughts. So why then was she still having these thoughts? She felt her chest tighten and took a deep breath hoping it would pass. What had happened to Aroile? Did it have something to do with the deepened depth of intense sorrow that would hit her in lazy waves? She had so many questions but no one to ask.
She was brought from her thoughts when Ro mentioned her resting. Her eyes focused on him until her mind had stopped swimming. “Nah, I wouldnt be able to sleep now. Besides, I’m sure Voss is going to want to speak to me and most probably wont be too happy with me.” she said and a single tear fell down her face. She angrily swiped at it clawing herself in the process. She had a long cut from her right cheek to her right ear. Blood seeped out as it very slowly began to heal itself.
“Thank you.” she said a bit miffed. “Despite my not wanting you too, you went out of your way to help me and you got a raging bitch for your troubles. I wont apologize, but i will thank you. Though i cant say that your efforts werent for naught.” she said and shrugged.
At those words, BJ growled in warning to her letting her know that he didnt agree with that. It was ironic because not too long ago he was just as she was now. But he knew that there were things here that were worth staying for and he would be damned if he wasnt going to make her see that.

Voss scratched at his beard a little as Anthony spoke Benjamin's ramblings of some sort. His frown scrunched more." Is he saying that her kind has a Master of some sort?" He knew a few legends of where some werewolves had come from. But to him, Eliora was a different breed entirely. Voss chuckled lightly hearing he would make himself scarce. " I do not blame you. He sounded insane, he most likely would not have told you his secrets if you had and if he did you might be dead." Voss seemed to be thinking deeply as he paced the hall. The only person he knew that knew otherworldly things was Kagome. And he doubted she knew anything of what Benjamin knew.
Voss stopped pacing when he mentioned someone might be able to help but as of now would not be a good time." She will need to recover a little before we try anything. Bombarding her now would be the worst time. I just need Bj to keep an eye on her. I saw how he cares for her like she is family. He was ready to cut you down at a moment's notice." He said with a chuckle." Try and get a hold of this person. Be vague about what you need him for, but tell him he must be ready to come when you call." He said leaning against the wall with a sigh he would rub his temple a little as the wave of voices hit him again.
He had been trying certain drugs to keep the flood of voices and connections between the pack from drowning him in madness. Nothing seemed to last forever. It gave him headaches and some distraction from tasks at hand. Some times he was able to suppress it but it was always there. Muffled some times and then others it sounded like a hive of bees buzzing in his head.

Ro watched her carefully till she shifted back to her human form this seemed to relax him. Ro laughed at her remark about the therapist." Eh, can't guarantee that." He said to her quip. Ro had heard many stories about her whether made up by customers that frequented to The King's Palace or be the truth. He was interested in hearing the version that came with truth from the source. Hearing the vagueness of her life experience had him feeling a little bummed.
When she seemed curious as to what his punishment would be for her he laughed." Well, depends on what type of punishment we speak. " He let out a yawn as he stretched his body his muscles shifting as he did so. He would then take his jacket off the bed putting it on covering only a part of his chest. " If your speaking sexually then I would say you would have to list your do's and don'ts. But if your to be punished for what you believe is your wrongdoing you would pick something that will hurt you and make you feel worthless. Say I use a large leather strap with tiny metal spikes in it so it rips your back up. Or be beat with canes till your bloody. It all on the torture you want." He said he did not smile while explaining this.
He notices that her facial expression was changing as if she was realizing something. When she spoke of not being able to sleep he felt the sorrow of his own for her. He wondered how many sleepless nights she has had over the years she had since her first death. When she cut herself his body tensed to the slightest smell of her fresh blood that she spilled while wiping away her tear.
Ro moved closer again pushing back her hair his finger swiping the blood of her cheek he would lick his finger tasting her." You need to be more careful." His eyes only intensified in color instead of changing it. " No thank's needed. I sensed your sorrow and was drawn to it." He said his face was stoic without emotion for the moment.
