Shiva had went back to the kitchen and was helping setting the table when she heard that the king and queen were finally back but was told to just continue to work. The staff was actually a bit up-beat from seeing her work, her fluid movements and almost dancing-like steps were quite entertaining to watch but they weren't so much so that they distracted the other slaves from their work.

Imber yawned as she loooked around Shiva's room and decided to go exploring able to just shift, or what it would look more like, phase right through the walls and eventually ended up in the princes room when she noticed the new creature. She cocked her head a bit and yipped a little happily nuzzling the baby gryphon excitedly.

"What's all this?" Rurik asked as he walked out to meet his parents. "Your mother wanted to buy a few things for the house and some clothes." Atros replied. "You went clothes shopping? For yourself I assume?" Rurik asked. "Well yes, your father got himself some clothes too and I decided it would be nice to get you some new clothes as well." Irsa explained with a grin on her face. "Ohhh...well that's...that's just lovely." Rurik said and smiled nervously, he just hoped he liked what she had gotten him since he always did his own clothes shopping now that he was older. "Well then, is dinner ready?" she asked. "I believe that it's being worked on." Rurik replied easily. "Let's go to the dinner table and talk while we wait for the food to be served." his father suggested and left the items in the parlor room before joining them in the dining room.

Sylph yawned as he was woken up by a nudge. Looking around he noticed a creature and cried out lightly as he easily sat up and just stared at the creature curiously with his yellow eyes.

Soon dinner was being served and Shiva headed off to have dinner with the other servants since she had helped set the table.

Imber yipped happily her tail wagging excitedly as she saw the gryphon wake up and started to paw at him playfully clearly just being friendly

Once dinner was served, the three of them enjoyed their dinner. "You must have gotten one of everything since you've brought back many bags and boxes." Rurik commented. "Nonsense. We just got a few decorations for the house and a couple changes of clothes." Irsa replied. "A few things huh?" Rurik said and chuckled. 'All those bags and boxes don't seem like, "A few things". More like "A few stores."' Rurik thought to himself. "Some of the decor in this home needs to be replaced, so that's basically what we got." explained Atros before taking another bite of his food.

Sylph watched the creature and copied its movements, pawing at it with his claws. He wasn't sure what this creature was doing but he decided to follow in its lead.

Imber cocked her head as she watched the gryphon and yipped a little pawing at it more trying to show that she wanted to play as she got down into a pouncing position her tail wagging playfully.

Sylph flapped it's wings slightly and swung his claws at Imber before standing up and crying out a little louder. His tail swayed from side to side as he did this and watched Imber carefully. Sylph even went over and pecked Imbra's head carefully with his beak and flapped his wings again.

"Well I actually am looking forward to seeing what new decor you've bought." Rurik said after taking a sip from his water. "Well we decided we wanted to keep the decor the same lines but with brand new things. More...expensive and flashy." Atros explained and this confused Rurik. "Does this mean you're remodeling the entire house?" he asked. "Well we're not going to repaint the house or change the flooring no. We're just getting rid of the very old and replacing it with the new, more extravagant, elegant, beautiful things." Irsa explained.

Imber gave a bit of a raspy bark when Sylph pawed at her and she whined playfully when he pecked her before tackling him playfully and licking him happily happy to have a new friend to play with.

Shiva was finished eating before too long and started to help clean again easily washing the dishes from preparing dinner and wiping down some of the empty tables in the servant dining room.

Sylph instinctively cried out a little louder, shook his head and flapped its wings, not sure what to do.

When dinner was over, Irsa and Atros left to start replacing the old with the new. Rurik took this time to go check on Sylph but when he saw Imbra in his room he balled up his hands into fists and hissed loudly. "SHIVAAAAA!" he yelled and quickly nudged Imbra away with his foot before picking up Sylph and glaring at Imbra. "Are you okay Sylph?" he asked his Gryphon and gently pet it. "Shiva!" he called out again.

Shiva quickly stopped what she was doing and ran to where she heard Rurik calling for her "Y-yes master?" she asked softly.

Imber yelped and jumped away her ears pulling down in fear before she suddenly vanished into thin air having not meant to upset either Sylph or Rurik, or get Shiva in trouble. Shiva noticed that Imber had been there as well and had disapeared. "I-I'm so sorry master.. I-Imber must have smelled Sylph and wanted to play." she said softly and still rather worriedly.

"Shiva..." Rurik started as he shook his head and cooed at Sylph before setting him down on the bed and then turned his attention back to Shiva. "Shiva, Shiva, Shiva..." Rurik said and pulled Shiva into his room before closing and locking his door. "What did I tell you?" Rurik asked quietly as he circled around Shiva. "Do you remember what I told you about your little...pet?" he asked and glared. "Do you!?" he hissed. "Do you remember me specifically telling you that I did not want your little pet in my room? Huh? Do you remember that?" he reminded obviously upset.

Shiva yelped a little as she was grabbed and looked at Rurik worried before hanging her head "I-I'm so sorry... I-it won't happen again I swear." she said softly but knew she was going to be punished and would accept whatever punishment he gave her. "P-please forgive me master for disobeying you, I-I will gladly take whatever punishment you feel I deserve." she said softly just hoping that he wouldn't get rid of her for such a mistake.

Rurik laughed softly and nodded, "Oh you're going to be punished alright." he said and ran a hand through his hair. "I am not going to hit you or throw you across the room though. No I would never do that, not today anyway. I'm going to try something else with you." he explained and smirked. Walking up to her, Rurik brushed away some of her hair, exposing her neck to him. "You will remain still if you don't want to die." he warned and held her in place before sinking his fangs into her neck and beginning to feed. Rurik was pretty thirsty but he couldn't drink so much because he didn't want to end up killing her.

Shiva was surprised at this and didn't know what was to come until she suddenly felt a sharp pain that caused her to scream out a bit and caused her body to feel rather weak. She had never been bitten before... it was rather painful but at the same time her body responded well to the closeness. He was so close to her... even though he was draining her blood the closeness still seemed to work for her powers even as she grew weaker from him taking blood.

Hearing her scream made him smirk as he continued to feed, and as he did so he found himself actually enjoying the taste of her blood which really shouldn't have surprised him but for some odd reason it did. It was then that he got a genius idea, 'This will be her punishment, if I'm thirsty. She can be my permanent feeding source!' Rurik thought to himself as he pulled away and licked his fangs. "I'm sure you'll learn to behave now since you probably don't want me biting you again, do you?" he asked.

Shiva whimpered weakly and stumbled some having a hard time staying standing after that. It was such a shock on her body she she was forced to sit just so she wouldn't pass out. She was so dazed she couldn't even think of a response or really understand what he had said. In all honesty it would probably be shocking that she could even stay conscious after being fed off of for the first time... and she should probably also still be bleeding but that just wasn't the case.

Kneeling down to see her eye to eye, he noticed she was still bleeding and smirked. "I hate to admit that you are very tasty. So I suggest you stop that blood from coming or else you won't have any blood left in your body, and then what is your little pet going to do?" Rurik asked and chuckled. "I'll have to sell it, or maybe I'll keep her, who knows." Rurik then stood up and went to the bathroom where he returned with the supplies needed to stop the bleeding. Carefully, he knelt down and licked up the rest of the blood before placing a cotton ball over the bite mark and then wrapping a bandage around her neck. "There, you're lucky I helped." he hissed. "Wow, you look terrible. Get back to work Shiva, it's not your break now is it?" Rurik instructed and pet Sylph who cooed happily and looked over at Shiva sitting on the floor.

Shiva was still shaking a bit and looked at Rurik surprised when he patched up her neck and nodded a little. "Th-thank you m-master" she said softly before trying to get up but ended up having to sit back down holding her spinning head. "Ngh...? I-I'm... s-so dizzy" she whimpered a little trying to get up again but her legs just wouldn't support her and she looked a little pale. Thanks to this being her first time being fed from or even loosing much blood she seemed as though she were going to pass out from it, she certainly didn't react how the prince was probably used to seeing with most of the staff being vampires or growing up around vampires.

"Dizzy huh?" Rurik repeated and smirked. "That's normal, I was very thirsty. You're very lucky I didn't just drain all the blood from you." he hissed and narrowed his eyes. "You obviously can't work right now but that's going to change. Watch her Sylph." he ordered and quickly left to get a glass of water for Shiva. Sylph cried out as Rurik left and jumped off the bed, then walked to Shiva and sat up, just staring at her with his yellow eyes. When Rurik returned he handed her the glass of water. "Here drink. It will help. Oh, and I'm not being nice to you just because I want to be nice, I'm doing this so that you can get back to work and have a talk with your little pet." he explained.

"Th-thank you master." Shiva said softly as she drank the water and managed to shakily get to her feet and excused herself before leaving the room and tried to make her way to her room to get after Imber when she suddenly passed out too weak from the bite to stay awake.

"Shut up." Rurik muttered and picked up little Sylph and walked out of his room only to see that Shiva was passed out on the floor. "Shiva you better get up!" he hissed and groaned in annoyance as he headed over to lift her up and basically drag her back to her room. "Rurik dear what are you doing?" asked Irsa as she saw her son put down his pet to lift up the new girl. "Taking her to her room." he muttered and started to drag her into her room. Once inside, Rurik picked her up and tossed her onto the bed like a doll before closing the door and letting out a soft sigh. "Are you okay dear?" she asked. "I'm fine." Rurik answered and picked up Sylph. "Did you want to tell me something?" he asked. "Come to the parlor, I want to show you your clothes." Irsa explained and led Rurik to the parlor.

Following his mother, Rurik sat down patiently and stared at the clothes she had bought for him. They were fancy which was nice. And they were made of the best material which was also nice. The colors weren't his favorite but that really didn't matter. It was nice to have a variety of colors in a wardrobe. "Thank-you mother, I love them. Are you sure they'll fit me?" he asked. "They have to, if not we'll take them to the tailor and have them make alterations on them just for you." Irsa replied, happy to hear that her son liked the new clothes. "I noticed that you and father placed the new decor, very impressive really." Rurik commented with a grin while petting Sylph. "Thank-you dear. I do think the house looks a lot better don't you think?" she asked and took his clothes. "I'll put these away for you. Goodnight." she said and kissed his cheek before heading up to his room then left to her room after putting away Rurik's clothes.

"Goodnight Mother." Rurik said and then left to say goodnight to his father as well. "Goodnight Rurik. Make sure to get plenty of sleep." Atros reminded before heading up to his room where he and Irsa got ready for bed. Sighing softly, Rurik looked down at Sylph and headed outside where Sylph was free to play around. Rurik took this time to relax and calm himself down before picking up Sylph and heading inside and up to his room for bed.

Shiva stayed passed out for the rest of the night and awoke the next morning with a whimper slowly sitting up and holding her head. She then touched her neck and frowned a little before scolding Imber and managed to get up and get ready for the day. One of the head of staff had her go ahead and eat having heard that she had been fed off of before he gave her work to do that she did easily.

Rurik woke up pretty early and headed downstairs for some water and when he saw that Shiva wasn't working he glared. "Where's Shiva?!" he hissed. "She was told to eat before working." Jamil explained. "By WHO?!" Rurik hissed. "T-The head of the s-staff my lord." Jamil stuttered. Rurik smirked and headed into the kitchen's backroom where he saw Shiva eating. "Who said you could eat?" Rurik started and slammed a fist on the table. "I did not give you permission to eat!" he hissed. "You are my servant and unless I say you can eat, I don't want you eating. You...you are loosing a lot of points right now Shiva. You know what I want to do to you right now? Have you any idea what I want to do to you right now? Do you?!" Rurik asked and chuckled. "No you don't. I...I want to just snap that little neck of yours and tear off your head. I want to do that and set your body out as an example of what happens to people who disobey the rules. I don't think you want that to happen do you?" Rurik asked.

"Enjoy this meal because this is all you'll be eating and this is the only break you have. When you are done eating, I want you to work until it's time for bed. And if I catch you taking a break, I'll make sure it's the last break you ever have." Rurik hissed and left to find the head of the staff.

His parents were woken up by the loud bang and hurried off to find out what was the matter. When they saw Rurik in the kitchen they feared the worst. "Rurik what's wrong?" asked Atros. Rurik did his best to control himself and explained to his parents what had happened. "Can you believe that?" he asked. "She is MY servant, and only I can give her orders. Me, just me!" he exclaimed. "I know dear I know." Irsa said softly and pulled Rurik into her arms. "Atros dear, bring me the head of staff who did this. It seems we need a replacement." she said quietly. Atros nodded and silently left to find the head of staff, to bring back to his wife and hoped they could settle this problem.

Shiva nearly jumped half out of her skin when she heard the anger in Rurik's voice and shook fearfully ready to stay something when he left so just shut her mouth and finished her breakfast before heading off to work. The head of staff was shocked at he was told to head to the kitchen but easily fallowed the king and bowed when he saw the queen and prince in the kitchen wondering what he had done wrong. Really he had just been doing his job, making sure all servants were fit to work and that no one would be slacking off, if he hadn't have ordered Shiva to eat he was sure that she wouldn't have been any use to them anyway, she probably would have passed out.

"Head of the staff, you are very brave to do what you just did." Irsa started and looked at Rurik who you could tell was very angry. "You are in charge of all the servants..." Rurik started. "All except one. Shiva is MY personal servant! MINE! YOU do not give her orders, I do! If I don't let her eat, she is NOT going to eat! Do you understand?" Rurik hissed. "I understand that you were looking out for her and doing the kind thing, but please don't make the same mistake again." Atros said easily. "I should have you replaced you know." Irsa commented but Atros then shook his head. "Now, Now dear, I'm sure it won't happen again. Mistakes are made by everyone and I believe that killing him won't solve the problem. Everyone deserves a second chance." Atros explained and kissed the back of Irsa's hand.

"Alright then, you can live. Don't make the same mistake again because maybe then I won't be so merciful on you. Now go, make sure everyone is working. I want this house to shine." Irsa ordered and waved him away. Rurik let out a long sigh and ordered that some wine be brought to him right away. "I think I'll go outside today, Sylph needs some fresh air and so do I. Call for me when breakfast is served." Rurik said quietly and grabbed his glass of wine, left up to his room and picked Sylph up before heading out to the backyard.

"B-but your highness', she looked as though she would pass out... she would have been more of a hinderance then help if she stayed like she was." the male said but then fell silent with a sigh and bowed respectfully before thanking Atros and headed back to work. Shiva whimpered a bit as she continued to work and just felt so tired. She really wanted to take a few breaks, just to catch her breath but knew that she couldn't, not until Rurik told her she could at least.
