"Hum." Said Karen a hand on her chin. "Well you use those salves then tell me what's hurtin' when I get back. I leave ya to it." Karen nodded briskly, satisfied at having made her decision before turning and leaving the room smartly, presumably to go get new clothes, leaving Celyse to her own devices in the bathroom.

Celyse looked to her and smiled and said "thank you!" As she left she turned around and faced the bath. Tons of different knobs and switches controlled the water. After a few minutes of being squirted by bubbles she was finally able to get it normal and the right temperature. She sighed softly and took off her tattered clothes as she sunk into the water. She relaxed as soon as the water hit her back. It felt so good, stinging a little from the cuts, but nonetheless, it felt so much better to be clean. The water was black beneath her. She sighed and emptied it out and refilled it again. Sitting in black water woudln't help her to be clean. She closed her eyes and relaxed. She knew she would only have a few more minutes alone so she enjoyed it while she could.

Iori stretched luxuriously in his oversized bed. Many vampires slept in coffins for fear of sunlight but he had worked this whole room so no sunlight could possibly reach him and mush preferred a bed. He stared at the ceiling for a moment before opening his mouth so wide in a yawn that his jaw cracked. Outside the sun was just coming up as he closed his eyes and dropped off. Several floors below Karen sorted through the slave clothing before selecting a nice purple dress and some sensible underthings. She picked up some shoes that she guessed would about fit the new girl before heading back to the room in which she had left her, rapping on the door to request permission to enter.

Celyse was able to feel everyone's aura now that her collar was off. She felt her new masters was very powerful and not one to mess with. Was that going to stop her? Not a chance. She suddenly heard knocking at the door. "hang on.." she said softly as she emptied the water and got out wrapping a towel around herself and her hair. She felt much better now, she had washed her long purple hair and felt so much better. She opened the door and said "hello again Karen.." she opened the door further to let her in. The dress looked really pretty.

Karen smiled at her "Well you clean up at least, but you don't get how to follow orders. Tha'll get ya in trouble right quick." Karen shut the door behind her and dumped her burden in Celyse's arms. She then picked up one of the jars with the bruise balm and began to smear it generously on Celyse's injuries "I be startin to think ye enjoy the pain." Karen shook her head while making tsking noises "Tha won't get ya far here. The master be odd, ba fair. Do as he say, make yeself useful and he'll lose interest right quick. Tha's yer best bet." Karen sighed "Ye be not the first he's brought back. Some don bend, they break, some bend too much, but has no skill, they die. Ye mark me, prove yerself good, and stay out of his way, that'll see you through."

Celyse groaned as she came in, she was going to lecture her. She shivered as the balm was applied to her, it was making her feel better. When she was done, she pulled the dress on and stepped into the shoes. They were a little small but they fit. "I don't enjoy it.. just used to it.. so I don't mind it anymore.." she said softly. She listened to her, trying her best to not roll her eyes at some of her comments. "I will not break or bend.. I won't obey him.. and I won't call him master.." she said confidently.

Karen's eyes flashed and she gave a stinging slap to Celyse's shoulder. "I canna help ye if ya don listen! Tha's a straight run to death or worse!" Karen quieted and she whispered "You are na from here. I know what happen to those like you. Oh they break, but fram the inside. Alive, whole," Karen gestured fruitlessly to try and describe something she did not fully understand "ba... on the inside... they's broke. Na like me, I bent, they broke. Canna see, canna hear, canna speak. They's like... like... like sleepin, but not. Trus me, you best be bending right quick, or you be breakin."

Celyse growled as Karen slapped her. Her hand went to her shoulder automatically. She growled at her lecture again. "thank you for the advice Karen.. but I can handle him.." she said as she opened the door. "I have been purchased before.. I ended up back at the cells because the others could never break me, I don't intend to break now.." she said with a small growl as she walked from the room.

Karen shook her head with a sigh "Anodda los soul. T'sa pity." Karen strode out after her "Wait chille! You donna where you're goin! Le me give ya the tour at least, then ye can do as ye wish and on your head be it."

Celyse looked back at her with a small sigh. "okay.. thank you Karen.." she said softly. She had no right to be angry at Karen, she was just trying to protect her. She walked up to her and then followed her to the next room.

Karen gave Celyse as thourogh of a tour as she could, some areas being off limits, the Master's room for instance. But she did show her the slave quarters, the kitchen, the guest rooms, the numerous lounges and libraries and even a few offices. As the sun came up Karen brought her outside to a balcony overlooking a stadium "Dis be the Arena. Master has a full stable 'o fighters, they fight for 'im sometimes here." Karen sighed and leaned on the railing "You be a proud one chille, and mos' liky a strong one. But this is one fight ya won't win. Dinna if ya know, but Master Iori is a vampire. He probbably don wan me tellin ya that, but there it is. Tha means tha among other things, he's got mind magic. I beg oh ya, fer ya own sake. Don make him use it on ya. He'll wait for years, workin ya down. Bes just get it over wit." Karen patted Celyse on the shoulder. "Get some sleep chille, you can use any o' tha guest rooms."

Drew saw Alora go over to the herbs and smirked. Already she was here and trying to work her ass off like anyother slave. He sighed and stoped rubbing it. THen walked over to her and gently took off her colar. He didn't want to see that kind of thing in here ever again. "you dont have to work now" he said as he looked at her and played with her old colar. He was going to burn the colar later tonight even though he knew that if he kept the colar off she would be able to use her powers.

Ivan smiled and kissed her cheek "I am full for the moment" he siad softly as he looked inot her eyes.

Celyse followed her around, gasping at the amazing spots in the house. When the sun came up she smiled. That was something she missed being in the cells, the sunrise. She watched it and leaned on the balcony.Vampire. He would be a lot harder then her others masters and she had already seem some of his strength at the slave shop. She smiled to her "but you see Karen.. I have my own magic.." she said with a smile as she made a ball of water in front of them and then held out her hand and froze it, bringing it down to the arena, she made an ice horse run around i circles. "and that's just the fun part.." she said with a smile. She then made the small water orb again only this time when the ice cleared it was a crystal heart. She moved it into Karens hand as she said "good night Miss Karen.." she turned to leave.

Allie looked to him and smiled, blushing as he kissed her cheek. "well.. are we off now? What are the plans masta?" she teased. She knew they both came from the slave shops and neither of them were bought.

Alora quirked an eyebrow at him as she finished her mix. She took a little on two fingers and smeared it on the scar on his neck before handing him the bowl with the rest of it. "That will help with the pain. Thank you for removing my collar." She nodded at him and turned to go back to her room. It would be nice to sleep on a real bed again.

Karen took the heart with a small smile. "Good night to ya too chille, and bes O'luck to ya." she shook her head "Ya gonna need it."

Celyse looked over to her and smiled. "thanks Karen.." she walked back upstairs to one of the guest rooms. She lay down on the bed for a moment relaxing, thinking. He was a vampire, he hated sunlight.. so she had all this time to explore while he was forced to stay inside. At night is when she had to worry, should she just rest now like Karen said. She laid her head on the pillow, sighing softly.

Drew smiled at her "your welcome and if you want to can go out in the morning and get some better clothing." he said and could feel less pain coming from his scare. He smiled a little bit more and watched her go "and thank you" he said happly. THen made his way over to the couch but took a book off the shelf. Then layed down on the couch and started to read his book.

Ivan laughed a little when she called him master. He was everything but a slaver "how about if we go and find ourselves a place to live so that we aren't living off of the nice man who owns the place here."

Allie smiled as he laughed. He was supposed to laugh, and she loved it when he did. "yea, that's a good idea.." she said softly. "as nice as Gail is we don't want to overstay our welcome" she said with a small smile. "I am behind you every step of the way Ivan.." she said as she pulled him into a hug.

Ivan smiled when she hugged him and hugged her back. Then kissed her and looked at her in the eyes. "then lets go" he said as he stood up and still had Allie in his arms.

((OOC: Look at my synchronized time skip! *hours later*))
Iori stretched and yawned again. It was late afternoon, soon the sun would be going down, but for now at least he could walk the halls, perhaps track down young Celyse, she shouldn't be too hard to find. He slipped on a silken robe and tied it about his waist. Guest rooms first, then the slave quarters perhaps? He strolled through the halls, checking each guest room as he passed. It was not too long before he found the one where she had chosen to rest. He stepped inside and shut the door quietly behind him, moving to sit on the side of the bed. He would just wait until she awoke.

Alora woke up slowly, strateching and yawning as she slowly returned to conciousness. she rubbed the back of her neck idly and her eyes widened, that's right, her collar was gone! She smiled at the thought and got to her feet to head downstairs, she would make some breakfast for her new mas-Drew.

Drew was fast asleep on the couch with a book over his face. He had fallen asleep while reading and showed no signs of waking up. He was snoreing a little bit and some drool was a the corner of his mouth. He was dreaming of people he didn't think he met or it was from his past that he didn't remember. He was little and with some people, they where having a lot of fun. But then something happend and fire was everywhere and killed the pople he was with.

Allie smiled at him and nodded. She loved being in his arms so much "alright love.." she said softly.

Celyse yawned and stretched. She woke up, slowly opening her eyes and seeing him on the bed. She jumped up and sat looking at him. She was wide awake now. "hello" she said with no emotion. How long had he been sitting there? What did he do to her? How long had she been out? This was not part of her plan at all.

Alora raised an eyebrow at seeing him stretched on the couch, but had no reason to wake him yet, so simply moved past him into the kitchen to start breakfast. It wasn't lavishly stocked, but well enough that she could make some decent pancakes, and maybe some eggs... She lost herself in the preparations and soon appetizing smells drifted out to the main room.

Iori raised an eyebrow "Hello to you as well Celyse. I trust you slept well?" he gestured around "I pride myself on having a well furnished and comfortable home after all."

Ivan smiled and walked out the door with Allie in his arms. He loved carrying her and having her in his arms.

Drew woke up when smelled food coming from the kitchen. He slowly got up and whipped away the drool from his face. Then streched and made his way to the kitchen to find Alora in there cooking he smiled a little bit and walked over to her. "good morning, did you sleep well?" he asked happly

Alora nodded, jerked from her revire "Yes, but may i suggest that you not go to sleep on the couch?" She handed him a plate of food with raised eyebrows "You have a bed for a reason, and you discomfitting yourself is doing no one any favors." As she spoke she loaded another plate for herself and took the rest off of the stove so it wouldn't burn until they finished it off.

Drew laughed a little "yeah I know but I never intended on falling asleep there it just kind of happend." he said as he took the food and sat down at the table. He took one bit and smiled happly "you know your a very good cook" he said as he continued to eat. He usually burned everything when he tryed to cook and was happy to eat nonburned food for once.
