To say he was confused would be an understatement. Ayden had no fucking clue as to what was going on with the girl aside from the fact that her master was trying to take over. To be quite honest, that scared him. Lia had spoken of her own father, and she was never kind. Sort of like she hated him, and the conversations always ended with her saying, you really don't want to meet one. He took her word for it because she knew a lot about them. Still, he found himself sympathetic to the girl, and she seemed all shook up.
Oliver made things better though, and when Madelyn brought up getting the headmaster, Oliver stood a bit taller, and nodded. "I will go see if I can find him in a moment. Any one else? I sense your discomfort around Ayden, and to be quite honest I don't blame you." Oliver said, and Ayden shot him a look, knowing that he couldn't see it. Still, it was an odd thing to say. "But Ayden isn't like the others, especially the small group he goes with... he is different."
Ayden gave him a different look, but Oliver was lingering, staring down the hall as Madelyn looked to him. Then Ayden heard the growling, and it was oddly familiar, and he noted the two hell hounds at the end of the hallway just watching them, and Ayden rose a brow. Madelyn's words finally hit him , and he turned. She was begging him to knock her out, but he wasn't sure if it was from the hounds or if he was really coming back. From the end of the hall, he saw the hounds approach slowly, and he looked to Madelyn. He didn't have mind powers like other demons because of his brand, and he turned. "Where's a good pressure point?"
"Don't worry about it." A familiar voice said, and he looked to see Lia standing there, the hounds standing alert, but they had stopped growling. "Good girls."
"What are you-" Ayden began, but he looked to Lia. "How did you-"
"I heard him as I got closer, and I could feel him. So, I am feeling a bit generous. Don't expect it again anytime soon, but a visit from daddy dearest isn't something I want." Lia admitted, and she took Madelyn's hand, a bit forcefully and cut open her own finger. Lia's blood dripped a moment before she drew a symbol on Madelyn's hand in a dialect even he knew as angelic. "Don't wash it off until the headmaster comes, I'll go get him. Come along, Rose, Lily."
As Lia walked off, Oliver walked back closer, his eyes fixated on her back before looking at the symbol, and even Ayden stared. He knew that most demons wouldn't dare write in angelic dialect, but Lia did so, fearlessly. Ayden was confused, and he saw Oliver look towards him. "Did you know?"
"I knew her father was one, but I didn't know about this much." He said, looking to Madelyn, and Oliver shook his head.
"We need to get Madelyn to her room, and once the headmaster gets there, we'll need to leave her to rest. I would help, but I am blind." He said, and Ayden nodded, helping Madelyn towards the stairs, the first floor of dorms being just up the next two flights.
"What is your dorm number?" He asked her, so he knew which floor to go to.
Hearing Luca was enough to know that she had been pretty out there when she called Rose and Lily, but she finally knew what the feeling was. Her father. Every time he got a new slave, she could feel him coming, and if close enough contact him. She remembered what happened the last time he was out, and she had promised herself to stop him if she could. Her mother, who she rarely heard from or saw, taught her a symbol that would keep him at bay long enough to get real help. It was how she had banished him away the night she was conceived, and it was the reason he was now a.summoned.
She walked down the halls, following Rose and Lily, and when she bounded a.corner, she could hear him, and apparently he sensed her. "Hello, Ophelia." his voice rang out to her as she looked.to see Ayden and Oliver with a girl who was clearly shaken, and she saw Rose and Lily tense up, but Lia calmed them with a wave of her hand. Lia under went another shift, her pendant glowing slightly brighter as she approached. She understood what it was like to have mental breaks, and she hated her father. "What are you doing? You better not be helping her. She is my slave."
Ophelia ignored him, and she heard Ayden before she spoke, "Don't worry about it." Ayden looked to her as Rose and Lily too their protective stances. "Good girls."
"What are you-" Ayden began, but he looked to Lia. "How did you-"
"I heard him as I got closer, and I could feel him. So, I am feeling a bit generous. Don't expect it again anytime soon, but a visit from daddy dearest isn't something I want." Lia admitted, and she took Madelyn's hand, a bit forcefully and cut open her own finger. Lia's blood dripped a moment before she drew a symbol on Madelyn's hand in a dialect even he knew as angelic. "Don't wash it off until the headmaster comes, I'll go get him. Come along, Rose, Lily."
She walked away, and Rose and Lily flanked her as they headed towards the ballroom, where the Headmaster was chaperoning, and she saw Rose and Lily disappear. She saw him when she was about to re enter the ballroom, and she walked over to him, seeing her wound had healed. "Headmaster, Ayden and Oliver need help. The Demonic Witch my father is haunting just got visited by him, and they need your help." She informed him, and he nodded.
"Where are they?" He asked.
"Rose will take you, if you'd like." Lia offered, Rose appearing in front of them, and she saw the headmaster leave to follow, rather quickly. Lia re entered the ballroom, and she looked around to see Silva and Luca dancing, and she sat down, watching. A figure came in and sat near her, his bright blue eyes catching hers. "It's not smart to sit with me."
"Well, we will see, I saw what you did." He said, and Lia turned her head. He was handsome, that was certain, and she saw him reach out his hand. "Zephaniah, Fallen Angel, and a transfer."
"Ophelia, better known as Lia, Demon." She introduced, and when he didn't back away, she looked at him oddly. "You aren't leaving like others would."
"Because not all demons are bad." He smiled.
Silva watched the bit between Luca and Lia ensue, only to see Lia leave, and when Luca came over, she looked to him. He was pissed, she could sense it, and she slid him Aaron rather strong mix of whiskey and blood, and when he brought up dancing, she smiled. "Sounds fun, just drink up." She chuckled, sipping on her wine blood mix, and when she finally got to dance with him, she let herself get lost in it.
"I don't know if father would condone this."she laughed, and as they danced she saw Lia come back in and sit, but what she didn't expect was the new male sitting with her, and she was talking to him. She shook it off, and continued to dance, knowing better than to bring it to Luca's attention.
