Child At Heart, Monster By Nature (A Shape Shifting RP)

[Run Wild]

Anuerin awoke from a fitful rest early in the night. Sure that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep again he stood to leave the room. He walked down the hallway to the elevator that quickly came to take him to the upper levels of the mansion. Mindlessly he entered a number and walked out slowly as the doors opened again. He went directly to his room, thinking that was were he wanted to be. It was when he reached the door that he realized the fear of the shame he would feel if he was seen by someone he knew, questions undoubtedly asked, was overcome by the fear of the morning's memories that lay in wait for him inside. He hesitated a moment longer before deciding to go to Amaryllis' room instead. He didn't knock when he came to the door, but rather sat down to lean against the wall outside the door frame. Amaryllis was undoubtedly asleep by this time. When Amaryllis first came to the mansion, before the tests and experiments, they spent most of their time together. Amaryllis had a way of quieting the demons that brought Anuerin low while he was awake, and in return he watched over her while she slept to comfort her from her nightmares. But all this time, it had comforted him too. Anuerin had the sudden realization that it wasn't because of their blood that their bond was formed, but rather their sorrow was the simularity that brought them together. They accepted their brokenness together. They had nothing to offer each other except for a selfless love. He had been avoiding Amaryllis because he was ashamed of his actions. He had done many terrible things before, but that never stopped Amaryllis from loving him. Anuerin needed Amaryllis just as much as she needed him. Anuerin thought long into the night about this and many other things. The silence of the hallway purposed an invitation to his demons that fed on his fears and shame and regret. He wished that unconsciousness would rescue him from his depression, but it
wasn't until early morning dawned that sleep took Anuerin.

(I know we already time skipped, but I've been busy and didn't get the chance to post this earlier. Hope you don't mind.)

Layla was asleep in a heap in a chair near where Leverett lay in a bed. She had been in the lab the whole night helping as much as she could. When they finally had him stable and patched up as best as they could she had collapsed in a chair nearby. She was emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted from the nights events. But she refused to leave, she wanted to be there when he woke up again. She had to be there to look him in the eye and tell him how sorry she was.

Eliana stretched on her bed, working out the kinks that had knotted in her muscles during her sleep. She got up and began her morning routine, which consisted of stretching, a quick work out, and then cleaning herself up. Not that she was going anywhere, she almost never did, but even she had standards. She wondered if Alastor would hold up his end of their bargain today or if it would be later if at all. There seemed to be a lot going on the previous night, something about that woman's friend being injured and all. After her routine she sat on her bed and stared at the wall. There was little else to do to pass the time and besides her breakfast should be arriving any moment now.


Layla shifted on the chair she had fallen asleep on, then groaned as she pinched her hand with the sutures on it. She sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked around the lab. She could easily see where Leverett was, laying still in his bed, he didn't look to be awake yet. She got up and approached it slowly not wanting to wake him. She reached out and slipped her hand in his as she pulled her chair up to the bed. She then curled herself back in the chair while holding his hand and went back to sleep.

Ryker glanced up from his charts at the sound of movement. He rubbed his eyes and took another sip of really strong coffee when he saw it had only been Layla. He frowned as he realized the mug had been empty since the last sip. He stood to go refill his mug. Because he wasn't leaving to seek his rest until Leverett awoke again.

Leverett's hand flexed within Layla's hold some time later. He then mumbled something vaguely as he frowned in his half awake stupor.

Alastor was on his way upstairs to get some much needed rest when he remembered his promise to Eliana. So he made a detour by the library. He looked to a couple sitting there reading from a book, only to realize it was Laurel and Razeth. He smiled slightly at the easygoing moment they were sharing. He kept walking not wanting to disturb them, almost like man on a mission. Soon enough he found the mystery section and thumbed through the titles. He didn't know many of the authors, but made a few selections based on their titles and covers alone. He hoped they were decent choices. Books in hand, he headed back to the lab to personally deliver them to Eliana himself.

(Poor guy, maybe he could be given some of Amaryllis' blood?)

(I don't know. Starfish don't really have traditional bones, more of an exoskeleton. so would it really work on healing inside bones? )

Layla slept in her chair with her hand still holding Leveretts loosely. But she didn't sleep very deep due to her own concern for her friend. When his hand flexed in hers and he mumbled she jerked awake and looked sleepy at him. She sat up and rubbed her face as she glanced at him. She gently squeezed his hand as she spoke to him, even though the action pinched her sutures uncomfortably. "You just rest now, your safe and you will heal." She murmured quietly as she rested her chin on her arm where it laid on the edge of his bed. She squeezed his hand once more before closing her eyes, not to sleep so much as just to rest.

Eliana sat on her bed, breakfast had been given to her slid through the slot on her door. This morning it was oatmeal with a side of toast and fruit, and a juice. Nothing too exciting but at least it was prepared well. As she ate she wondered if they had tea or even hot chocolate, she couldn't remember the last time she had some of that. She wondered if she could ask for some with her breakfast if she cooperated. She would have to ask Alastor the next time she saw him, he was currently her link to the outside world.

(Nicky, your turn in this trio Not rushing, just letting you know since it was a few pages back )

(I answered the post before, Andorra is scratching Donella's ears and chin. Now that sounds funny out of context. )

"Oh you are so bad," Alexis jokingly complained. "If I was silent, you wouldn't know what to do with yourself, I betcha."

Allen followed, eager to see what all the hype was about. "Well, well, ain't this pretty," he murmured. He then looked confusedly to her. "And what am I supposed to be looking at exactly?"

"If you were silent, you wouldn't know what to do with yourself. " Dimitri countered with her own words.

"The sunrise you nitwit. How can you miss it, it's right in front of your face." Ashton said with a wave with her hands like a price is right model.

Vasper fairly collapsed on his bed and sighed contentedly as he scented Amaryllis. He grabbed a section of the comforter and rolled over with it so it encompassed his person. Only then did he slipped of to La La Land.

Razeth was about to give up on his story when a last he found it towards the back. "There it is, Beauty and the beast. That's my favorite one. Cheesy, right?" Razeth asked her a little guarded, ready for any radical she may have.

(I don't know, I'm not very knowledgeable of that kinda stuff. You decide )

Amaryllis awoke gently with the sound of laughimg voices in the hall passing her room. She piled the towel she had been wrapped in, and her damp clothing in the corner. She went to her dresser and decided to wear a dress her mother wore when she was young. It was a cotton dress that flared out above her knees and flattered her figure. Checking her reflection in the mirror she realized that the violet fabric made her eyes appear even bluer. She found a ribbon in the top drawer of her dresser and tied up her curly hair so that it would stay out of her face.

"Ha! Aw you're good," Alexis said joyfully. "And correct. There, I admit it to your face, you're correct. I wouldn't know what to do with myself, therefore I won't attempt to put myself in such a position. You wouldn't like seeing me unhappy, now would ya."
• • •
"Ohh!" Allen nodded his head thoughtfully. "That bright yellow orb that's blinding me? I see it now. It's pretty, but I prefer its nightly counterpart: the moon." He grinned at her for a moment before turning his attention fully to the sunrise.

Haley stretched slowly across her bed, rubbing her eyes gently as she did so. A glance to the clock and she groaned quietly. It was too early to get up, considering the late hour she'd finally gone to sleep. Everything seemed to be under control for the most part last night, with the emergency and whatnot, but she'd hung around a while just in case and for moral support. Now her internal clock was thoroughly regretting it.
