((Hmmm....well i can tell you that Hotaru is to depressed to move at the moment lol and is one of the negative aspects the fact that she likes to feel the pain it causes to her oooo and since they are connected through magic can it be a two way link or is it just a one way link?))

((Yep, you got it... She feels pain everytime she grips the Agiel, basically the same pain. The only difference is, she's learned to tolerate the pain because it's been ever for close to 22 years of her life >.< And it's more of a one link... and through this link, generally whoever she tortures falls in love with her due to the fact that if they have even just a small negative thought about her, she'll torture them until they find something positive to say about her... even if it's only in their head ))

((lol well that explains alot lol hmmm.....i wonder were everyone else went))

((Amelia chased them all off))

((awww now that is sad hmm.....Hotaru is still here even though Amelia is bad lol))

Ritsuka vaguely remembered being unshackled and collapsing to the ground. He hated that he wasn't stronger for Amelia. His eyes struggled to stay focused. His immediate vision saw his hands infront of him as he lay on his side, blood trickling down into the drain. He had barely any energy, but enough to heal himself somewhat. He clenched his teeth together as he felt his tissues, muscles and nerves rework themselves and heal and though they were not completely healed, Ritsuka had to stop less he pass out from sheer lack of energy. At least the blood had stop flowing and he could now just slowly recooperate on the ground for just a little while...

Amelia re-entered the punishment room where Hotaru was chained. Her leather was soaked with blood and her fist tightly gripped her Agiel as she stared across the room at Hotaru, a renewed sense of purpose now filling her.

"You don't want to disappoint me again do you, Hotaru? ...And be sure to address me by Mistress, it is but a simple command that I expect you to oblige." Her voice at first sweet, took on a threatening tone as she wanted it to be clear to Hotaru that she expected her command to be fullfilled.

((I apollogize for my dissapearence for the last litttle bit, i was ill and not thinking proper RPing i'd just screw something up. I've just looked back through, and i cant find where the sevant that greeted me did anything else with me to take me inside, shall i just try re-entering and forgetting about before or suddenly appearing in the area with the cages to pick a servant?.))

Hotaru's green eyes looked up to the woman that had walked into the room again, he saw the blood dripping from her leather outfit, and even that she was clamping down on her weapon. His gaze drop to the floor again, he wasn't going to bother liftting his head to look at her better, he was still a little confused about her either wantting him or not wantting him. He didn't bother answering her question or even let the word Mistress registured in his head, instead he just sat there with his head hanging down, he just didn't want to muster the strength to look at her and answer when his mind was still trying to comprehend everything.

((so i need to add more?))

((Whoops, I forgot the Ritsuka was letting you in xD That's my bad Bebe... I try to keep up with everone :sweat: Go ahead and take control of Ritsuka in your post and have him basically escort you down to the basement where the slaves are kept >.< ))

----------

Amelia could understand and sense Hotaru's confusion. Therefore putting her anger under control, she walked over and squatted down next to Hotaru. Bringing her red-leathered, bloodied glove to his chin, she forced him to look at her violet eyes.

"Do not move. Do you understand?" Amelia wanted to make sure Hotaru comprehended her command before she would begin to heal him. She had kept him on the cusp of both death and psychotic break-down for the better part of two days and she knew that the best way to proceed would be for Hotaru's wounds to first be healed and therefore allow his mind to function. Amelia of course knew that the extent of Hotaru's injuries... various deep gashes, bruises and broken bones would definitely take most if not all of her strength, though in the end, she would still have her Agiel at least.

"Yes." Hotaru said to her as he met her gaze because she forced him to, he could smell the blood on her. he could feel his skin and muscles stitch them selves back together, he whimpered from the pain that he was feeling, he shrunk backk as best as he could into the wall but it just caused him even more pain. "No." he whispered to her, at this point he didn't want the pain and if it kept going she might get a reaction out of him that she wasn't expecting. His mind got a little less confused and he was slowly understanding everything that was going on around him, and he was still not calling her Mistress even though she wantted him to call her that.

Lilith closed her eyes as she sat in the same cage she had been in for days on end. She was one of the few clean and decent beings left in the cage or so she felt. She didn't need to open her eyes to feel the gray mood that the other cage occupants held. She let out a breath as she crossed her arm and played with a strand of her long blond hair.

She wandered how she had even got put into one of those cages. She open her rather large eyes as she heard the sound of something string in the cage beside her. She knew that it was her fathers fault why she was now stuck to the live of a slave and bound to be someones property than her own being. She shifted her eyes as she looked in the cage beside her and froze as she saw the strange girl in it.

"Teagan...." She whispered as she saw what looked like the slim figure of her once dear half sister. Though she couldn't be sure it had been a long time since she had seen her dear sister. They where separated not long after Teagan's mother had died. Her father wanted Teagan and Lilith as far away from one another as he could keep them. Because of her fathers debt to the vampire cancel Lilith now found herself here in this strange place awaiting her master. She doubted that they strange girl could really be her dear sister. Her father would never let this happen to her as he let it happen to Lilith. Teagan was his favorite and that was fin with Lilith she was more of a loner by nature any how.

Teagan lifted her head head as she heard an familiar voice. "Lilith?" she asked as she got up and looked around. "What are you doing here?" she asked as she reached out and tried to touch her dear half sister. Teagan didn't remember much of her former life but she did remember her dearest half sister. They use to play with dolls as a child and when Lilith was sad Teagan was always there to pick her back up. For the first time she had been here she felt as though everything may end up okay.

Amelia could sense the rebellion in Hotaru growing strong now that his body was recovering. The minute that Hotaru uttered the word 'No' without addressing her with the proper title, she stopped her healing. She was drained, but because she was not doing the finishing healing of the lacerations of his skin along with a few remaining bruises that weren't overly bad for they were now a yellowish in color with some purple whereas before they were black and blew; the healing didn't leave her completely drained though her face seemed a shade paler than what it had once been. She knew she was strong enough to overcome her exhaustion.

Backing away, Amelia made sure that Hotaru wasn't within striking distance to her for she wasn't quiet ready to put up her magic again. She flicked the Agiel that dangled from her wrist up into her hand to give her a rush and to heighten her senses.

"Now that you're able to understand what is going on, I'm going to ask you again. Refer to me as Mistress or suffer the consequences."

Amelia knew that Hotaru and her would most likely end up doing this dance of pain and torture for at least a few weeks at this rate before he'd finally succumb into being completely and utterly broken. It was, after all, a process like any other.

Lilith felt a smile appear on her lips something that was rare for her. She reached out her hand and touched her dear Teagan's. She moved closer to the other side of her cage as she pressed her body ageist the cage bars as she reached out to her sister. She wasn't ashamed to show her fangs as she smiled just happy to know her dear sister was safe at lest for a while. A sudden pain his her as she felt fear for the first time in her life.

What would she do if her sister was bought before her and would they be bought together? Would some master want them both? No she knew sadly the answer for those questions. No one person would want them both. A pure vampire and a half breed. She a times wished her father would have never mated with the human but if he hadn't she wouldn't have her dear Teagan. Though now it would seem she would suffer the same fate as Lilith herself.

"Dear sister why are you here? This is no life for you or any creator for that matter." She said as she glanced about the room starting to feel the strain of being in the cage for to long without being out of it to walk about. "You shouldn't be here Teagan a slave life is not for you. Father should rot in Hades for this. Who knows what fate we will face. I have missed you sister."

Alexa’s ears twitched slightly when she heard the sound of two of the other slaves talking. She opened her eyes. Two of the girls near her seemed to know each other. She turned her attention to see if anyone was around. She was growing tired of being in a cage and like most wanted nothing more then to be free or this prison. For now it seemed the only one around was Amelia and she was in the punishment room. Maybe now would be a good time to try getting out of her.

Her crimson eyes glanced around her cage looking for a weak spot. As she looked for the cage’s weak point her tail flicked back and forth. If only she didn’t have the collar her last master put on her to seal her shadow magic. She’d already be free of this place.

''Amelia." Hotaru said to her in an almost seductive tone of voice as he adjusted how he was sitting, he even met her gaze and noted every movement that she made. "If you keep making me feel pain, you will just get an unexpectted reaction from me. Oh and love, that wasn't asking, that was demanding." he said to her as he got a cocky grin onto his face, he shook his wrists so that the chains would jingle, his thoughts were echoing what he had said to her. It was clear that he was almost back to his normal self, but there was also more then one way that pain can break someone. He leaned as far forward as he could to her, letting her see just how cocky he was, he blew her a kiss and winked at her before he settled back against the wall, waitting for her next move.

Elle was awakened suddenly by the sound of the key in the lock, and sat up just in time as the door opened to show the guard from last night on the other side. Belatedly, she realized she was still only in her underwear and pulled the sheet up over her chest with a blush. The guard at least appeared not to care; he merely told her to get dressed and be ready to eat before starting her work for the day. He then turned around so that his back was to her but he still remained in the doorway, to prevent escape she figured. But Elle was just glad that he had the decency to give her some privacy to get dressed.

But first, she went to the washstand and splashed some water on her face to fully wake herself up. Then she quickly pulled her uniform on and went to the door. She fidgeted for a moment, not sure if she was allowed to touch the guards, and so she settled for clearing her throat slightly and saying "I'm ready for the day sir," with her eyes lowered in a position of submission.

Teagan took her sisters hand. "I... I don't remember it all. A man took me and sold me to a woman.... She put me in here. I've been in here for a while." she said softly as she looked at her bare feet. "Sister we need to get out of here." she said softly. "We can go back to father. He will let us come home." she said softly as she looked up at her sister. She was just happy to see a failure face.

Roarke saw Elle's cheeks instantly flush from him seeing her, however to him it wasn't a big deal for the naked body wasn't something that he was unfamiliar in seeing anyways.

"Good..." Roarke replied to Elle who was now in her uniform, dressed and ready to go. "Do you have any special talents?" He inquired, trying to find the best job for Elle at the mansion.

"I would rather rot in this cage than to go back to that man. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here. I too have been here for quite some time now. I wander if we will ever leave these cages? The lady is not made at us as of yet. If she was we would be else where." She said as she looked about the cages and saw one of the other occupants awake. She gave a slight bow to the other creator as she looked to her sister.

The servant led Rocka inside and down to the basment. Rocka walked down the through the maze of cages, on particular cought her attention. She stopped outside the cage of a panther girl, flicking her tail. She had yet to add panther to her list of other forms. "You, what is your name?", she asked. "What are your skills?" She bent down, leaning on her staff which was leaning on the cage. Sh wanted to get a better look at the girl in the cage. "Are you good at organizing things?"

Alexa had nodded back to the girl. She was still examining the cage when a women stopped in front of it. Her crimson eyes stared at the women, looking the women over. She smirked slightly as she answered the women‘s questions. "I am Alexa Kuedo. I am skilled in shadow magic and a skilled warrior.”

Rocka smirked, she was starting to like this girl already. With her she could kill two birds with one stone, and sell that damned sad excuse for a guard dog she bought before she mad room for an accual slave and guard. This ment she could use the extra bedroom once more for storage. Yes, but lets keep up a conversation, she thought, to make sure this slave would meet social requirments too. "Then you'd be good on guard duty then? What did you do at your last home?" As she bent down to a kneel the leather pouch's in the area between her overskirt and her underskirt squeaked.

Amelia was infuritated at such a vulgar display. At least now Hotaru was making coherent thoughts. The leather around her fist had that familiar creak as she tightened her fist. Her jaw set and her violet eyes wielding a leathal intent, Amelia took one step forward before smaking Hotaru on the side of his face as hard as she could with her Agiel, most likely fracturing it and then she'd lay into his shoulder. Words wouldn't even come to her mouth due to her infuration. She'd make Hotaru hurt bad before shackling him up once more.

"How pathetic really couldn't get the first guard dog right could you. Humph you should be smarter with your money. Train yourself to be wisher when you look for new pets and you will find better pets and save your money." Lilith said as she sank to the back of her cage rather board. Why would a master be so wasteful and unwise when buying her pets she wandered as she sat there.
