Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Well I haven’t said if you’ve got in yet.” Natasha teased witha wink. “A lot of this job is about intuition, I like you and you seem like you can hold yourself well. And short of throwing a demon at you, there isn’t a lot more I can do to see if you have the right material for the job.”
Natasha leant back in her seat again with a slightly smug smile. In truth, she as much wanted these apprentices to act as house help as she did them to help her with the impending darkness that the oracles seemed to warn off. They could be entirely useless as exorcists, but as long as they could clean a toilet she would be happy.
“I suppose I should ask how much you’re expecting to be paid. My intention is that you take up residency in this mansion and, provided that you earn your keep, you get fed, a roof over your head, and some pocket money. Things will improve once you show some skill. Does that sound fair? ”
She was momentarily interrupted by the doors opening. She expected to see Adam return, but instead she saw a slightly unusual young man. Her ‘spider senses’ immediately began to tingle.
“Oh, hello. You here for the apprentichip?” she asked.

Adam turned back to her, and this time gave her a softer look.
“No. I am not here to hunt you. Not if you wish to remain here. But I warn you, if there is even the smallest speck evil in your soul then there may be others who are prowling to take you down to where you do not belong. That is the risk you run by remaining on Earth.”



[Natasha’s such an arse, she just wants a lackey -haha]

Natasha smiled and held out a hand.
"It seems like we have a deal then."

Lilith shook hands with Natasha and grinned.
"It seems we do. I suppose we'll be getting to know each other better then, I look forward to it."

Although her face did not express it a surge of relief overcame Aisling when she heard Adam's word of not hunting her. But then she pondered a moment about the rest.

She stepped out from behind the tree and stared at Adam. In a bewildered and low voice she sent him another message, "...Remain.....yes.....want to......remember.....can not......lost.....alone........." She looked to Adam sadly as if to cry, her head tilted to one side, "Others....hunt me....yes.....I am......evil?....."

The ground became frosted around her.

crying *looks to sky and shakes fist* Curse you time difference.....

[aww thanks smile
tell me about it haha. But it is almsot 1.30 am here, and I've got to get up at 8 xp haha]

“me too.” Natssha said

Adam stood up when she revealed herself and walked over. His face became a picture of sympathy and he placed a hand on her shoulder. “You can’t remember? “ he frowned a little, unsure of how to immediately help her, but he felt her distress. “I will help you.” He said quietly, although his heart knew it was the right thing to do his brain instantly wondered what advantage he could get by taking her under his wing - if other demons found out he assisted her, and yet did not pass her over, he could only expect interrogation and torture when he inevitably had to return back to hell. He could only hope that she was not important enough for the demons to take any real notice of her.
He shook his head when she asked if she was evil, and immediately felt the weight of those words. He’d asked himself that same question many times before. “no, no..i don’t believe you are evil. But we all have sins in one form or another, and when we are vulnerable they can come back to haunt us.”
He ignored the cold she exuded and took her hands in his own. “don’t be afraid of me.” He said, and then finally decided to show her his real form. With barley a sound his large bat-like wings appeared and unfolded, his fangs returned and his halo shone once more.
“Do you trust me?”

Adam instantly span aroudn as Nikoli burst into the scenes, his wings fully extended in surprise. he wa susdenly very aware that he was fully revealed to a tsranger. but then he was even more aware of demons in teh area.
"ah.."


[argh! relaly got to go! sorry! stressed ]
