Liliana felt the sharp tug at her arm and found herself face-to-face with Cain within an instant, before she could protest in any way she found herself immediately suffering a barrage of half questions from the Demon, however this position was one of many that terrified her, not his words, but memories of the past surfacing.
Her heart was beating quickly as she listened to him, barely noticing the grip on her arm until he began to loosen it, watching it go as drew it away. Luckily she'd kept ahold of her other items in one hand but people were beginning to give Liliana's companions rather accusing stares considering what he'd just done.

She, however, placed her hand around his wrist, looking up at him, strangely not as frightened as before and began to pull him away from the crowd to find a more secluded spot, preferably with a place where they could sit down. Once they'd found a lonely location she sat down on the closest place she could find, a smooth garden all, which she then pulled Cain to sit down beside her as she smoothed her dress down a little before looking over at him,
".. I'm not human.. I would have thought that obvious.." She finally responded, crossing her hands over her lap as she gritted her teeth a little and looked down, "I'm... Well... B-believe it or not... I am a demon.. Or at least.. Partly one..." The girl sighed, looking over at Cain nervously,
"My mother.. She was my demon side.. I didn't know my father.." Liliana leaned back slightly, holding her hands around her knees as she looked up,
"But she did things to me.. I don't know what exactly, I just know she bragged that I was nothing like other demons... But she got mad.. Mad because I wouldn't use my powers the way she wanted me to use them. The silver marks in my body are runic inscriptions for her experimenting on me since childbirth with older runic magic. The scars came when I refused to obey... And I managed to refuse until I escaped." Liliana put her hands on top of her knees, lowering her head and in turn raising her shoulders slightly,
"She wants me back.. She thinks I'll still do what she wants but I refuse! I wont be that way!!" Liliana gave a small outcry, gripping her hands into fist and gritting her teeth, choking back a small sob, "I wont.. Become the monster she thinks I am.."

The girl looked up at him with admiring eyes, though her face remained a mask of sadness and fear, remembering so much and having told it all so openly had taken an emotional toll on her and it was clear to see that she wanted to cry alot more, sniffing softly, even as he lifted her chin to look at him more properly. He was so kind.. Which made hi so fascinating.. So unlike his kind.. The kind of creatures that were true monsters, but here they were, both bred by demons but ultimately not sharing their ideals.

The girl tilted her head away and off his finger, looking towards the ground but shifted closer to him, reaching around him on either side with her arms and closing her arms around his chest. She placed her head up against his chest softly, angling it down by raising it again softly, as though rubbing her face against his chest, though really was just taking into account what he had said.. Keep her chin up..

"Thank you.. Cain.." She replied, shifting her legs closer so that their thighs lined up, her hip pressed against his as she leaned in on him, sniffing again, but more quietly. It felt good to belong somewhere for once, and to feel so much more safe.. She wasn't sure if she even remember feeling anything like this but she knew just simply that if she was with him she would be okay..
"So long as I'm with you.. I'll be safe.." She confirmed, mostly to herself but then looked up at him, "So you can use me for whatever you want.. My gifts are yours.."

The girl blushed a little, mostly out of happiness as he embraced her with an arm, hearing his heartbeat quicken was strangely relaxing to her, in spite of the increased tempo. Though when he got up she felt a little disappointed.. She could have stayed like that for so much longer.. However he seemed oddly ruffled all of a sudden and as with him returning to his usual self she seemed to revert as well, becoming rather meek whilst she looked up again. When he asked her if she was going to sit or they would walk she immediately got to her feet, shyly standing at his side.

The young woman made sure to stay as close as he'd wanted her to before, she remembered that well enough, but now she had a reason to do so.. Even if it was just a simple arrangement.. He'd given her his word that he would protect her, she didn't need anything more, asking for this much alone would have been too much. Though she felt concern, perhaps a little fear.. The possibility that Cain would have to deal with Mother's lackeys.. Maybe even mother herself..
Yet he didn't want her abilities.. Was he really that powerful? Or was it confidence..? Even if she herself wasn't so powerful her gifts were beyond normal.. Could she really let him bear the responsibility to taking care of her alone..? It didnt seem right.. One day he'd need her help..

As she deliberated this in her head she stuck close to Cain, avoiding people generally, sometimes hiding behind him when they passed larger groups. As he'd wondered a while back, she was indeed timid, hiding from people with no real reason. Hard to believe something so scared and frightened could ever amount to such a destructive force.
Secretly though, quietly, she was enjoying being close to Cain, even if she was a little apprehensive.. They'd had such a shaky start already, could he bear being close to her knowing what she was or what she could be? Did he understand the lengths, and how dangerous they would be, that her mother would go to retrieve her? So many thoughts kept surfacing in her mind.. She stopped suddenly, gripping the back of his clothes and burying her face against his back.
She was realizing just how deeply afraid she was.. It was extending so far that she feared for the very man promising to protect her, what kind of unnatural horrors would she bring to him..? The girl was trembling again, an odd look of fear and realization on her face.. So many complex thoughts.. Was there even a measurement, or a word, a phrase for what had been done to her mind?

"I'm sorry..." She replied softly, lowering her head sharply when he growled, the girl withdrawing her hands sharply and holding them close to her chest again, though not recoiling from him like she'd done the day before, though shes tayed still for a moment, swallowing hard and dropping her arms as she looked up again. Her lips trembled slightly but she sucked them in a moment and let them go, letting them relax as she cast her eyes up at him and smiled a little,
"I'm okay now.." The girl replied, slipping forward, past him to stand in front of him to the side slightly.

If they needed to change direction she could look back to him, though was also close enough for him to easily grab her and redirect her while she looked among the people. She began to realize that perhaps he was right, not everyone here was out to hurt her, let alone kill her, now that she wasn't looking away or hiding her face she could see the peoples smiles, see the looks in their eyes as they interacted, had small arguments, played with each other or even laughed.
The giggling of children running by and playing attracted her attention as she watched a number of them run across a junction. They were so innocent.. She wanted to play with them but stopped herself in time, looking back to Cain as she laced her fingers behind her back, angling around to smile at him softly.

"S-so.. Which way are we going..?" She asked, though looked around sharply, staring ahead of herself again. It seemed as if she'd been caught on alert by something, suddenly moving forward quickly and stopping at a garden, staring at the grass and the flowers.. Like with the hotel the plants outside were dead and drained.. The girl had a sorrowful look on her face as she knelt down, brushing her hands across dead petals, but then found herself staring at the woman the garden belonged to, it seemed even she was upset by the state of her garden.
The girl smiled as she channeled her energy from her body once again, breathing life into the grass and the flowers again. The other woman was rather shocked at this strange revelation as color crept across the garden once more, her wilted flowers and roses growing to new life.
The two didn't speak, simply looking at one another until the woman cut one of the flowers, offering it to Liliana. She took it graciously, it was a lilac flower, matching vaguely with her gloves and heir hair, she held the flower in her hands and stood, looking about for Cain again. When she found him she hold out the flower to him, similar to when she'd given him the red marble of energy.

Liliana watched him as he took the flower, not moving as he'd instructed though was a little curious when he broke the stem then reached out at her, though a little apprehensive at first when he was finished she raised her hand to feel the flower there, though smiled again, lowering her head and staring down at the ground tot he side whilst she put her hands behind her back again, nervously shifting her leg and turning it softly so it that the toes pointed towards the same side.

Although she was already done with the flowers a look of concern cam across her face and she looked further down the road, but didn't run off this time, straightening her standing then looking back up at Cain. She raised her hands to her mouth, biting down on her left index finger as she stared at her companion before standing a little closer to him, angling her head properly so she was still looking up at him,
"The one at the hotel.. And this one.. There's probably a lot of dead gardens.. The damage is too.. Specific.." She started, lowering her hand from her mouth just as she'd spoken, frowning a little, "There's a demon nearby.. It's hiding and gathering energy by sucking life from the ground bit by bit.. If it keeps this up it will run out of earth and plants to drain.. Leaving the people.." She explained this with some concern, biting her finger softly again and looking at the people around them once more..

She didn't want to imagine some demon being unleashed on innocent people when it could be stopped before it began, but what could she do.. She couldn't ask Cain to deal with it, he was already protecting her, she would only be making more hassle for him.. The girl lowered her head a little,
"N-nevermind.."

The girl swallowed a little, looking up at him int he same sense that she was a child being scolded, she figured he would be upset by her mentioning such a thing, perhaps her previous resolution of staying quite was right. If she upset him like this too often she'd lose his protection, it would be a resource wasted.. But she couldn't just ignore these people and leave them to their fate.. Not while she could see it.. The horrors that would come and the pains of it all.. But then there was Cain, she couldn't see his future, and every time she looked at the future of these people it would distort for a moment.. It gave her a glimpse of hope..

When she was pulled into the crowd she continued to look up at him, that same hope from before in her mind now showing a little on her face as she became a little happier, hopeful. Though when she thought about his question she shook her head a little,
"N-no not here, too many people in the town.. B-but this demon won't be in town.. It's drawing energy from nearby so it would be somewhere barren outside of town, a naturally rocky location, maybe a cave, a cave would be best.." She explained, seeming to have a good knowledge of this kind of thing, though maybe it wasn't so much of a surprise, being the experiment of such an intelligent, if ill-intentioned woman could very well have resulted in a good education regarding the very demons she was supposed to hunt and kill for her own power, "If we could get out of town all these people wont be in the way of my senses.. So many souls.. I can't make out anything beyond the noise.." She replied, motioning toward one direction of the town,
"It's quietest this way.. If we go that way I can try sensing it sooner.. But I wont be able to sense anything through the town or anything past it directly so long as there's so many people."

"Okay!" Liliana smiled up at Cain with extra vigor, beginning to look around at the people they passed, the smile on her face stayed strong even as he dragged her along. The future of the people was changing.. Even if she couldn't see what his future held she knew one thing for certain as she kept up until they finally came to a stand still, staring over at him with a strangely softer smile,
He can change the future too..

Liliana looked around, still too many people though she was beginning to feel the world outside of the town, again she broke into a soft run down the street, trying to find a nice spot away from the people as she finally hit an exit from the town, feeling out across the landscape.. Animals.. Small groups of people here or there.. But no demon yet.. She couldn't shake the feeling that there was a demon though, it was too obvious,
"One of the reasons I cant sense past a life sign is because my mother wanted me to sense everything close by. Every target for me to kill and drain of their energy and every threat that might try to hurt me, when there's too many souls there's to much noise in my senses for me to look past.. I'm sorry but I cant find the demon on this side of town.. So.. I'll draw it out.."

The girl ran further out, no less than twenty meters before she hit her knees by a dirt road, the trees looked like they were dying in this location, this would be perfect.. She raised her hands for a moment then hit the ground. The shocking part was that the ground shook momentarily. It wasn't that she was strong, but the ground shifted, seeming to solidly first before softening, the dry earth beginning to get a texture of darker brown.
The grass nearby seemed to invigorate itself with life, yellowing blades going green. The trees old frail looks beginning to gain new life, dead bark becoming solid, its many leaves shuddering and stretching out as they grew with new energy. The healing effects of her abilities were beginning to grow grass along the round, spreading out form her in pulses as she fed more and more energy into the ground.

She was turning her head occasionally, trying to task herself with finding the demon as well, sooner or later it would feel this new energy, a large source just outside of town that it could come drain if it wanted.. But was it clever and could see the trap..? Or was it so greedy that-
"There...!" Liliana looked in the opposite direction, she jumped to her feet and ran back to Cain, hiding behind him as she pointed in a specific direction among the trees, "It's coming from there..!"
