((its a small blurb that I did in my lest post ))

((so Amelia let hotaru down and put a leash and collar on him and wants him to follow her right?))

((yeah))

Amelia took Hotaru upstairs to the kitchen where she led him along by the chain. Her whole demeanor was one with purpose. Coming into the kitchen, she halted herself.

"The slave needs some food." Her lips betrayed nothing but cruelty as she spoke to Ginger.

Ginger had been caught off guard at Amelia's sudden entrance. Her green eyes were casted slightly down as spoke.

"As you wish, Mistress." She then instantly grabbed a piece of bread, setting it upon a plate along with some of the meat she had just prepared and was upon to scoop up some soup when Amelia interrupted.

"No Ginger, I want him to eat it off the floor." Amelia's cruel gaze then glanced down to Hotaru down below her. Ginger pratically cringed for the look herself.

"Yes, Mistress." Ginger quickly placed the food out infront of Hotaru. Her heart weeped for the slave knowing that he probably had done nothing more than wished for freedom. Also, Ginger had never seen Amelia look so cruel before. Taking in another look, she could see the blood glistening off Amelia's red-leather and instantly Ginger knew why she took to being such a well behaved slave instantly in this household.

((Don't worry about long posts really, this is more or less dialogue at this point ))

((T-T my poor character!!! lol i am not worried about it at the moment lol))

Hotaru looked at the food that was placed on the floor in front of him, he knew how he was being treated and that she didn't expect him to talk to her. He fekt that if he was going to be treated as a animal that he was going to look like one, at least then he would be in the form that she seemed to treat him as. Melted until he was a fox, his ears were drooping down, his tail didn't move, he looked down at the food, smelling that the meat was cooked, he picked the meat up in his mouth and slinked underneath the table to eat it, not wantting to be seen at the moment. He knew that he was most likly going to get beat up again but in the mean time he wasn't going to change back into a human, after all that wasn't his origanl form, he is a fox demon that can take on the shape of a human. He finished eatting the meat, he slinked out from under the table and took the piece of bread, pulling it under the table, where he couldn't be seen at, once he was done with it was when he came back out to be seen, not bothering to look at anyone or thing.

((I know, I feel so cruel for writing it o.o but I highly doubt Hotaru will likely try to escape ever again xD ))

Amelia looked down at the defeated fox and wasn't happy he went under the table to eat his food. Her violet eyes glared down at him and then kicked him in the ribs before exiting out the kitchen. She would take the fox demon to her room where she'd leave him to be attended to by Ritsuka. She still had another slave to attend to, and others more she needed to make sure they stayed in line.

With Amelia exiting, Ginger couldn't help but cringe. Instandly she got back to her cooking as she tried to take her mind off of it. Amelia never gave out punishment where it wasn't considered due, though at first if she could scare you into submission with just a touch or two of that cursed Agiel, then that's when the real torture would begin and she'd be ruthless with it for weeks at a time even, though anyone she tortured generally lost all sense of time.

"Elle, could you get the bread out of the fire oven for me?" She spoke more to stop the stream of thoughts going through her head.

Ritsuka could sense Amelia coming before she entered, though it wasn't enough of a warning for him to get up out of the bed and dressed. His powers where slowly coming awake in him the more time went on and he hoped that soon perhaps Amelia would teach him some about his gift. Allowing the black blood red satin sheets slide down his well-defined torso as he sat up, Ritsuka's dark eyes beheld the sorry site of the fox demon before him.

"Ritsuka, clean up this slave for me." She spoke as she crossed the room to hook the chain holding the fox demon onto a hook that was next to the bed.

"As you wish, Mistress." Ritsuka's hair was messy, but in that sexy sort of way and at the same time, hid the bruise on the side of his face from her earlier beating. Amelia was then gone as quickly as she came. Ristuka then looked down at the defeated fox to his left whom was in obviously bad condition.

Without saying a word, Ritsuka had gone to the tub that was adjacent to the room and began filling it with warm water before coming back in to retrieve the fox demon.

"It looks like you could use a warm bath." Ritsuka bent down to be eye level with the fox, knowing that looking down upon him would only probably make the fox demon feel even more isolated and defeated.

On the one hand, Ritsuka didn't really want to show the fox kindness, but then thought about his own experiences along with those that Amelia had and he couldn't bare to be cruel to the demon. He already knew the suffering, he could use a small ray of kindess.

Lilith rolled her eyes at the commotion in the house. She rose and stud in the middle of her cage as she reached out and gave a pull on the chain around her cage door. She smiled as it broke in two. She then open the cage door and thew the broken chain in the cage and gently shut the cage door. She walked about the house for what seemed like hours and stumbled up on the lady of the houses office. She noted the mess and shook her head as she went about cleaning it. She organized everything and made it look like a office fit for a queen once she was done. She walked to the desk as she took a seat and began work on the Lady's fiances. She shook her head as she cursed at the mess that had been made by someone else who was to do them. It was appalling how messy the person had done the Ladies booking. She wandered if the lady even knew about the mess work and the fact that someone had cheated her out of some money a year back as she worked.

((I'm waiting for Alexa/blueblackrose i havent dissapeared, just sayin'))

Ritsuka gently washed the fox demon with a sponge, not really saying anything for a long while for he knew better than anyone that silence was what was really needed at the current moment. After he was finshed, the fox demon was nice and clean with his wounds were cleaned and rather tender looking.

"The pain is not so bad after so long." Ritsuka gently spoke, hoping to rouse a response.

Ritsuka instantly and firmly grabbed the fox demon's head to keep him from scratching, though he knew that such an action could result in him getting bit.

"You'll only make it worse." Ristuka warned, then sighed as he let go of the fox demon's head.

As much as he didn't like to speak that much, Ristuka knew that there would have to be some coaxing invovled to get this poor demon to talk.

"What is your name?" He asked, trying to sound as sincere as possible.

((Sorry I took so long to reply bebe girl. I lost internet and just got it back yesterday.))

Alexa scanned the room that was to be her new bedroom. She showed little interest in the fact that the room was messy since she had been kept in cells that looked and smelled worse. Her new master seemed to be an interesting women. She turned her attention back to Rocka. “What kind of cleaning will I be doing?”

((I understand. Her bedroom was down a floor this was suposed to be Rocka's. Oops guess i'm bad at discriptions))

"See all these leather packages. Each contains a bit of fur, or some body part of an animal. Half are labeled half still need lables, all need to be put in alphabetical order with the lists following suit. I already have the old ones in order ofer there", she pointed to a shelf beside the bed, "and the As over there." She pointed to the other side of the bed.

"I'm Ritsuka... The bath should've taken care of the fleas for you and as long as they stay gone, Amelia won't have you shaved."

Walking over to a nearby chest, Ristuka pulled out a blanket and gave it to Hotaru.

"Here, you'll want to get what sleep you can."

((Lady Chello, you do realize how angry Amelia will be when she finds you outside your cage don't you? O.o ))

((lol, maybe I read wrong?))

Alexa nodded. “Ok. Is there a certain why they need to be labeled?” She wasn’t use to this kind of task, but she’d do her best. Hopefully it wouldn’t take long and she could get some time to herself or something. Being able to fight again and to use weapons excited her.

"The tags with the lables are on the table. When you're done that monsterus sorpion down in the basement...isn't well traied yet; i'm working with him right now. He would help you keep your reflexes up untill your sevices as guard are needed." Rocka grabed a knife out off of her bedside table and walked up to Alexa, sliceing a bit of fur off the tip of her tail. She put it in one of the lether pouches and went to the table, flipping through the piles of paper till she hit the "P" lists and checked off panther, then lableing it and leaving it in the mixed pile. When she finished she hit the shelf of old things and added the As to the new A pile.

“Sounds good.” Alexa grinned. When Rocka approached her with the knife she watched curiously, her head tilted slightly. After Rocka had gotten what she want her tail flicked slightly. She went over to a pile of pouches on the floor that were mostly labeled. Quickly she started to separated them into piles. Once she had different piles for each letter she’d go through and start organizing the piles alphabetically.

The As were now complete. Rocka would start on the Bs when Alexa got them out of everything else; in the mean it she was getting hungery. She stomach groweled. She took off the underbelt with the pouches she had beed wearing earlier and added to it the new pouch, the scorpion, and the mouse to to the pile. She put it back on again and wandered down to the kitchen for a snack "Tea and cookies or choclate cake..." she mummbled to herself as she left the room.

While Rocka was going to get something to eat Alexa finished getting all the Bs together. She laid the pile to the side for Rocka. As she sorted through working on the Cs the pile of unlabeled pouches was growing larger.

((I have to leave for a while.))

((Okay.))

Rocka sat at the table with some cake. "Ummn...I wonder how things will work out now." She could hear abit of baning in the basment "Ah...he must have woken up again...Yes, that is the joy of being only partly effected by your own venom." She shuvled one more bit of cake into her mouth before headind down to the basment where the giant scorpion had been locked.

Rocka opened the small trap door and slid down it. The scorpion's tail was chained to the ceiling, claws to the floor so the thrashing was limited. In a soft, non-human tounge, wich sounded like the hissing of a coach to a human ear she said to the creature "If you only were to stay where you where told, you would not be chained! If you where only to stop thrashing about you would not be hurt! And yet you keep this up? All i ask is for a guardian, and a scout and you get a life of pleasure and freedom when tasks do not need to be done." The creature thrashed more and hissed back with not obvious pattern to the hisses. Rocka shook her head and muttered a few words under her breath while holding the pouch, now the scorpions looked like mirror images except for a scare on the back of the original. She stug it once with its own venom, and it paused and stared at her. She morphed back to her human form and in english said "enough" before retuning upstairs. I would be about a week before the creature was moving at full speed again, only then would she take it out to see if it had learened its manners and if it was ready to move off in search of other play forms for her to take.

She returned upstairs to eating her cake while the drugged scorpion waited in the basment. "This cake is amazing...i should have got more while i was out."

((whats going on so far?))
