"I'm sorry for disturbing you master but the other servants said there was nothing for me to do but told me to come up here and talk to you... so... I was wondering why you saved me?" Kasuru said softly as she walked in and glanced at the whine unsure. She was only 16 and wasn't sure how whine would effect her.

Azreal frowned, a little bit irritated, so he decided to scare the girl, picking her up out of the chair, pushing her up against and wall, his face close to her though he did nothing but grin. "I have a thing for people who are different, beautiful. This forest, I created, only beautiful things can live in..." he said, leaning forward just to let his lip brush against her neck, but not going much further, in fact her paused after that. He felt something he hadn't in forever. His heart actually pumped, once.

Kasuru froze in place then was surprised when she felt the males lips going across her neck and her breaths caught a bit. it sent such and odd feeling through her... a mix of fear and almost excitement and she had never felt before. She couldn't make a sound... she couldn't move away from him either... what was going on? Why did this excite her so? Why couldn't she really think at all?

Azreal sighed and let his lips trail small kisses up her neck to her lips, pressing a small, warm kiss to her lips, his hand stroking her cheek gently. He couldn't understand what made him want to be so close to her, but something did. He felt it when he saved her. But he didn't want her to know thaat. Women who know a guy cares for them always take advantage of tht in some way, weather for pleasure or entertainment. And he would not be her toy, she would be his.

Azreal had bathed and was now laying in his bed, hand on his forehead. That girl... she was different. There was something about her that made him lose control with her earlier. And that couldn't happen. This girl's life was supposed to belong to him, not her body. Yet somehow she tempted him without even knowing it. But that didn't matter. What mattered now was that he would not let it happen again. He wouldn't let the way he reacted to her earlier happen again. He'd be just as cold as he was when they met the next time he sees her.

With that decided he rolled over in bed, letting him self fall into a light sleep.

Harmony sighed as she slowly wrinced off and got out of the tub still a bit clumsy but managed to get out fine and grab her towel drying her hair then body. She then wrapped herself in the towel before going and getting into her night clothes and curling up in bed with one of the large over fluffed pillows and stared off into the dark. "I just don't understand... first he hates me... then he takes the sickness away and saves me... then he's so cold when I talk to him... then he's really kind and almost caring... then he turns really cold again and just leaves me without a word... why? Oh this is so hard to understand!... and yet... why do I not care?" she huffed then grumbled part of it before sighing at the end and plopping her face into the large fluffy pillow. She was soon fast asleep and slept through the whole night only to get up in the morning, get dressed, then go and see what she could help with again... from how he seemed last night she wasn't sure if her master wanted to be around her or not.

Azreal left early in the morning to take the souls to Lucifer. It didn't go over well, the man expected more pure souls rather than corrupted ones but all Azreal had access to in his forest was corrupted, since the place most people run to to do bad things was his forest, and he usually only had one alive enough to take a soul from, but with Lucifer there were no excuses. So when Azreal went to go collect moe souls, he selected those that were the purest and left the rest to die, going back to the house in quite a bad mood, doors slamming open with a loud and ground shaking BANG! as he walked in, boots clicking on the cold stone floors.

Harmony was helping clean the dishes and was being shown how Azreal liked his food prepared when her and a few other of the servants looked up to the sound of doors slamming open and heavy footsteps going down the hall. The few servants that talked spoke in a language she couldn't understand and the one that could wasn't in the room... what was going on and why were they all looking at her a bit funny?

Azreal ignored his servants, a harsh glare stopping all their chattering as they scuffled quickly back to work, not bothering to look at him again as he went up the stairs. More pure souls. Souls that are soon to be angels. Angelic souls. Damn that girl. He could have taken HER soul. He could have satisfied Lucifer with at least one pure soul. But no he had to show an ounce of kindness, and for what? Nothing. No credit from Lucifer, no reward, nothing. Just pure nothing. Call him a selfish man but all he wanted was to be in Lucifer's high council and how he was, was getting him no fucking where.

Sitting down with a glass of rum he downed a few cups, closing the doors and then laying down on the bed, shirtless, trying to think of ways to lure in a few pure souls. Maybe a hell hound disguised as a puppy... that would be it! It could lure in children and young women who have kindness and virtue. It was brilliant.

Chuckling at his own drunken thought he set his cup of rum down and sighed, staring at the ceiling.

Harmony also went back to work but kept getting cold looks before she finally saw the woman that could speak "Um... ma'am? Why is everyone glaring at me? Have I done something wrong?" she asked softly and unsure as she was kneading some kind of doe for one of the cooks whom had put it in front of her with the recipe. She was a hard and good worker... but right now that didn't seem to matter to anyone... they were mad at her for making their master and boss get in trouble.

The maid glared at her. "You lived. That's what you did wrong. Your soul could have gotten our master to higher ranks. But you intrigued him. At first we thought it good for him but now we see, you are going to plague our world forever." she said, then went back to work, making sure the rest of the maids and workers ignored Harmony's very existence, as they were no longer interested in being friends with what was supposed to be the enemy.

Harmony shrunk when she heard the woman and quickly finished what she was doing before going and cleaning up before going to her room and sat in there for a long while thinking hard about what to do... she hated being a burden on anyone... and she couldn't live where she was hated... and she couldn't leave... so she only saw one thing to do... if nothing else at least they could get their lives back. She slowly got up and made sure she looked presentable before heading to her masters room and knocked softly before looking down at the ground chewing on her lip a bit knowing this was a bad idea.... but she felt she needed to do something...

Azreal was in the middle of coming up with more ideas when he heard the knock on the door, and, still drunk he opened it to see the cause of his stupor, though all he did was stand there and glare, you could smell the alcohol on him, but it mixed well with his natural scent, making him almost irresistible. "what do you want?" he asked, not rudely but not nicely either. There was a edge in his voice that hinted that he wasn't thrilled with hr at the moment, but it looked as if he'd let hr decide to dig a deeper grave or leave.

Harmony could easily smell the alcohol on him but didn't care as she looked up at him with soft apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry I'm causing you issues... there's no point in me living in a place where I'm a burden to everyone and everyone hates and ignores me... you can take my soul... I... I don't care...." she said quietly not looking up anymore and you could hear a tone of sadness in her voice... it's not like she wanted to die... she just didn't want to be hated for the rest of her life... and it wouldn't be right to live in a place where you only caused problems for others and they couldn't be happy with you around... so this was the only thing she could think of since she couldn't leave... he had made that very clear the first day.

Azreal looked at her for a moment, completely serious before he burst into laughter. How could someone be so naive? To think that her souls would work now? " honey your soul is useless to me now. The day you woke up you woke up as a demon. You no longer have the option to go to heaven when you die you instantly go to hell. So now I have to hunt down children and people who's lives end all because they didn't sin, and they have good souls." he said, his voice getting irritated with her. "no get back to a place where your actually useful. Deal with your life. I can't stand pathetic people." he nearly snarled at her, his eyes looking like a wolve's for a second before going back to normal.

Harmony stayed completely silent with no emotion on her face even as she heard what he said.... she... she felt numb when she heard him... completely and utterly numb... she was a demon now? she would go to hell when she died? But... she didn't feel any different.... she felt like she always had... she didn't feel dirty or anything like that... she still felt pure... and somehow... she didn't believe him at all... if she was a demon now... she would feel different and she probably wouldn't feel the urge to fallow what she believed... but she did. "I am not useful anywhere then.... no one will speak to me... no one will let me help... I guess I'll just go back to my room where at least I'll be out of everyone's way." she said quietly before turning to leave though waited to see if Azreal had anything to say to her. Something was starting to change on her though... white streaks were coming into her hair and her skin was becoming a bit lighter... for someone who had been turned into a demon that wasn't normal at all... in fact she didn't have the sense of a demon at all... her sense was still pure somehow... not tainted at all... in fact it was as pure as pure can be... a trait only real angels had.. but she still didn't seem to notice any difference.

(yes I have an idea X3 )

Azreal glared at the back of her head. "I will send you to the very pitts of hell myself woman. You better watch how you speak to me. The fires are not spa massages honey they hurt." he snarled, this time wolves tattooed on his arms under his skin jumped out and ran in front of her, blocking her path, snarling at her. Hellhounds. Not puppies to be messed with by anybody.

"I'm sorry.... I didn't think I spoke out of term... it won't happen again master I promise." Harmony said as she turned and looked at Azreal after jumping a little at the hell hounds though clearly didn't know what she had done wrong... she had just said she was going to her room so she would be out of the way... is that what everyone wanted? Was for her to be gone? The aura never left her even as she turned to the demon whom had threatened to take her soul before... what was she useful for? everyone hated her and ignored her... what else was she to do?

"Go down there and face your life you so badly wanted. You're so pathetic caring what other people think. And honestly, your soul is not pure to me no matter what. And after a few days in hell, you'll see what you bargained for. You will spill blood. And one of a child. Tomorrow morning. No questions asked." he said, glaring at her. "Tomorrow I teach you to collect souls." he said, no longer caring for her well being as he got right in her face, his eyes literally the most startling thing in the world. "If you cannot collect souls you can no longer be here. I will drop you into the pitts until some other demon picks you out." he warned, his hell hounds coming back. "No go scrub the floors. All of them. i want to see them shine." he growled and went back into his room, slamming the door.

Harmony shrank and stared up at Azreal with large fearful eyes but didn't back away too scared of the hounds to do anything and too worried he would hurt her to say anything but did nod and ran off after he had shut the door. She was scared of what was to come.... especially since she both didn't understand him and since she didn't think she could hurt anyone ever... on purpose at least. She was soon cleaning all the floors... it took her all night and into the early hours of the next morning before she finally was done and barely made it into her room before she passed out from exhaustion... even the cold floor fel good to her sore and aching body.

Azreal was up extra early, his dagger in hand as he walked into her room. Three children had walked into his forest, and today she was to kill one of the three. By she, he meant Harmony. That disease plaguing his halls, but made the floors shine as he asked. The one who was pure and naive and very annoying. The one he almost wanted nothing to do with now, but he had to deal with for the time being.

Going into her room he shook her awake, opening the curtains to let bright red light of the sun shine in her eyes. "Wake up." he said firmly, clearly still very angry with her.

Harmony groaned as she was shaken only two hours after she had fallen asleep and bright light shined into her room. She moved slowly and looked around a little confused at first then remembered she hadn't made it to her bed when she had came in. She looked horrible and extremely tired... but she got up anyway and gave a soft yawn covering her mouth. "I-I'm sorry master... I didn't get much sleep." she said softly since he had had to come in and wake her while she would have already been up and getting ready by now normally.

Azreal didn't say anything to her for a second. "You can rest later. YOu are about to do the one job I require you to do all day. And you do it exactly as I say, understand? Remember, it's one life or decades or torture in the pits." he said, very, very serious about this now. In fact, her pulled her up as he said this, offering her a drink of wine. "It'll wake you up trust me. Or at least it does me." he said, then began to walk to the door. "Be down the stairs within the next few minutes." he commanded coldly.

Harmony nodded a bit and let him pull her up before she waited for him to leave. She then went and took a quick cold shower to wake her up and thought about this whole thing as she got dressed and read... also as she walked down the stairs... she couldn't kill another person... especially an innocent child that had just merely wandered into the forest... a child who hadn't done anything wrong... even if that meant that she was tortured for what she had refused to do... but... she supposed she would have to wait and see how things turned out. She stopped as she came close to Azreal not looking up still seeming to be in deep thought with no look in particular on her face at all.

Azreal waited until she came down the stairs and he made her look at him, grabbing her chin and looking into her eyes. "I am about to project a scene into your mind. I want to show you what can happen if you do not follow your every command. Do you under stand?" he said, then sent the image, the feeling, of being burned and tortured. Already dead so no dying coul happen even if guts were spilling out their stomachs, the smell of burned flesh everywhere, screams of torture and people begging and praying for God's help and not being saved.

He then pulled the image away. "One life is all it takes." he said then, leading her out into the forest, walking towards where a mother and a small baby boy was. "This one's future is to be a serial rapist. But he's innocent right now, as is his mother. I want you to take the baby's first, the mother second. Right now they sleep. If you disobey you have worse than this waiting on you. Remember that." he said, handing her the dagger, and standing to where she could not escape him should she try.
