Melez, with her good arm, slowly took the cup of tea off of the table, slowly bringing it to her lips and smelling the spiraling steam as it left the hot liquid. "You're taking this all very calmly for a human..." She said in a nearly monotone voice. She had let out her secret before. It never ended well. She was always chased out when her race was found out. Most humans find it confusing and rather repulsive to think of. An angel and a demon having a child. Other angels and demons think it against all moral and natural laws to do so. She pushed her memories of the pain they caused her out of her mind as she focused on the man. Why was he taking it so calmly? Was he not just a human? He's certainly not the same as her, so why would he protect her secret? She set the tea down, having not tasted it, and slowly worked to put her tanktop back on, along with her shirt.

Jin moved to stop the girl from putting on the blood encrusted clothes. "I wouldn't wear those. They are. ... disgusting." That was a word he didn't use to often. He pushed a clean black tank top he had laid out closer to her. "If you wear those you might cause unwanted attention." As he sat back he slowly finished his cup of tea. Purposefully taking a long time to avoid making a comment about being called a human. Sure he was mostly but to him he could care less.
He got up and wandered back to the fire and the boiling water making a new cup of tea. As he went to put in a small herb bag he knocked into something wrapped in a soft looking red blanket. Which promptly fell to the floor his blood red sword coming free of the sheathe and blanket. Cursing under his breathe he bent to start putting it back away. "So.... you're um... like demon and Angel huh? I think that's pretty cool." Oh great he was blabbering now. What more could he do? This was becoming more awkward by the minute. Jin took the utmost care as he finished tying the sword back up and laying it down by the wall. "Uh... if you want you can stay tonight and go shopping for whatever you need tomorrow. I'm sure you're exhausted and pretty weak from that blood loss... "

Melez rolls up her blood soaked clothes and sets them on the floor by the table before slowly standing up, working to slide on the tanktop over her shoulder. She hadn't turned her back to the man though she figured he saw it she'd rather not show her wings off. Her blood nearly froze as he uttered exactly what she was. Why wasn't he nervous? Why wouldn't he tell anyone? Why was he so seemingly relaxed about this all? She lifted her good hand to her shoulder and gently inspected the stitching. "Pretty cool? You're not terrified? You've not heard the rumors then..." She smiled slightly as she could barely feel her own fingers on her arm. She knew she'd be feeling that later. "I'll find a hotel to sleep in." She bent down slowly and bundled her clothes under her good arm. "You've done more than enough." Out of her pants pocket she pulled a few odd looking coins and a 20 dollar bill, she set them on the table before heading to the door slowly so as to avoid falling. He doesn't seem quite right... He doesn't know the rumors, he doesn't seem to be surprised at all that he's found a pair of wings on a demon... He's strange and I'm already strange... Any added strangeness is a bad thing... She thought to herself before stopping at the window and staring at the black cloaked figures roaming the streets. Already? Great... I thought I lost them in the last city... As her father had made so many enemies they wanted to draw him out of hiding. What better way to do that than to take his daughter. These were shadows. The creations of a rather powerful spell that don't need sustenance, and can do basically anything. She began to reconsider his offer to stay the night as she stood there staring out the window.

He stood up and stretched momentarily rolling his shoulders. When he looked to the table the girl was hobbling off to the living room, a twenty on the table. He took it. Rumors? What in the world is she going on about? Jin followed behind her grabbing the sword, not making a sound till he was behind her.
Things were moving around outside. Shadows. He leaned forward slightly coming to stand beside the girl. "I wouldn't go out there... unless you don't mind shadows." Jin looked down at the girl and slid the twenty back into her pocket. "Not my choice though."
He turned around heading into the living area picking up one of the many books as he sat on a wooden bench and began pretending to read after setting his sword against the wall beside him. Maybe... she'd be less weird if I told her I wasn't human... Oh what if those shadows are here for her. If they going out there would be akin to suicide. He looked at her still staring at the window. "Hey by the way my name is Jin."

Melez jumped slightly at the feeling of her money being put back into her pocket and the movement next to her. She glanced over at him as he spoke about the shadows before internally scoffing at the idea of going out there with shadows. Shadows are rarely used for good. She turned her head watching him go into another room and sit. She resumed her watch noting how the shadows glided across the road with seemingly no effort. They had no legs and the transparent tattered cloaks they wore didn't help give them a "friendly" appearance. She glanced down to her hand that had a bit of leftover blood dried onto it as the man introduced himself again. "Jin. Now that I know your name I can thank you properly. I wasn't really able to read it before... My vision was a bit blurry..." She explained as she turned around to face Jin. "My name is Melez." She said with a very slight smile and an elegant bow, well, as elegant as she could perform with one workable arm. "Is your offer for a bed still standing? I have a thing with shadows..." She stood back up and glanced over her shoulder at the window with a shudder. She really didn't want to go out there. Not only would they drag her off to their master, they were plain creepy with their whispers in your mind. For shadows don't have a real mouth, they communicate with a form of telepathy that sounds like someone whispering in your ear.

Jin smiled and set the book down besides him as he looked over to Melez. "Nice name. As for a bed... I don't know." He teased crossing one level over the other. "Oh what the heck sure. You can stay." Jin uncrossed his legs and walked back over to Melez. "You want to know where the bathroom is? I can bring in some water for you." He glanced out the window and shuddered. No one in there right mind would go out tonight.
Jin thought about the last time he saw a shadow. He was wandering around along the road from his town. At first he thought it was just another guy from the village but as he drew closer the temperature began to drop around the black figure. Jin thought it strange but kept on the road. Then as he went to walk passed it the shadow reached out the cloak flowing around him like a cloud. Jon stood frozen staring into the inky blackness before hearing a raspy voice in his head. You should have died. Master won't be pleased. The word were drawn out and chilled him to the bones as the shadow disappeared.
Jin was still staring out the window looking thoughtful. "If you do just let me know." His voice had a barest hint of cracking as he started, finishing off strong.

Melez raised an eyebrow as he jokingly thought about letting her stay. "Thank you for your hospitality." She glanced out the window again. "I don't know how long I would need to stay, so I can pull my own weight and help with things. I can cook decently, I know how to clean and will pay for room and anything else that may come up." Her voice is almost monotone as she stares out at the misty black figures floating about. After a moment of silence she turned, her amber eyes fixed on Jin's. "Why did you help me even after finding out what I am?" She had gotten pretty good at figuring out if someone was lying. It was in the eyes. After being away from home for seven years she had picked up a great deal more skills than her books, or her mother and father could teach her. Even though her mother was a very skilled fighter and her father very skilled in magics, she preferred to learn the basics from them and then learn on her own in the real world. Even though she loved her family, after fifty years a person would tire of anyone. Thinking of why she left reminded her that she'd want to let them know she was okay. She'd need a candle for that tonight. He knows what I am, so I guess he could see me send off the letter... So I don't need to hide that...

Jin was looking into the amber eyes of his house guest. His emerald greens reflected slightly if he really looked. "Cooking would be nice." He smiled delight flickering in his eyes. "I can make a few things but not much. As for helping you..." He paused and thought it over a moment. "I don't know." Was his reply.
It was getting late and Jin yawned covering his mouth with his hand before turning away. "Let me show the rest of the homestead." He chuckled softly walking into the living room another small hallway visible. More plants and more books. In the hallway there was barely enough room for Jin to walk through. On one end a door and the other end two doors. "You'll have to clear the room a bit I've been storing things in it." He opened the door on the right. There were books all along the walls and the bed. The bed was a small twin with blue cotton covers. A small closet and desk on the other wall. "Sorry there is no window."
He moved out of the way letting Melez pass into the room. "The only thing I ask is for you to tell me when you leave. K?"

Melez simply smiled, actually thankful that her host didn't know how to cook much. She was already beginning to plan a nice dinner when he replied about why he had helped her. She nodded and followed him around memorizing where everything was easily and when he stepped out of her way she slid by, using a power her father had taught her to make more room in the passage way. Her back had actually dipped into the shadows behind her as she moved effortlessly by him. Unless he was staring at her as she passed, he wouldn't have noticed the thin black fog around her shoulders. She entered the room that was to be her dwelling for the time being and looked around. She was running through various incantations that would make cleaning go by quicker. She tried to not use black magic, but more light magic as her mother had taught her. She turned and nodded in response to the hosts request. "I will. Though it might be a couple of days before I leave for good... I need my shoulder to be in fighting condition before I head off... Don't know if I'll run into someone..." Her voice trailed off as though her mind was elsewhere. When in fact it was. It was in several places. She shook her head slightly snapping her mind back to the present. "I will see about making breakfast, I'll need to slip into town to get a few things for dinner as I'm pretty sure you won't have the foods I need for preparation." Her lips were pulled up slightly at the corners in a soft smile.

Jin was already walking away leaving the door open as he entered the other room giving only the slightest glimpse as he got in and came back out with a smaller white towel. "My towel is in the bathroom. It's blue." He held it out to her be fire disappearing into the living room coming back with his sword which he promptly slides into the room still keeping the door mostly shut. "Most of the herbs are edible other then the big one on the table. If you're not sure either ask or leave it alone." He smiled once again. "Oh and one more thing. Under no circumstances are you to go into my room."
He leaned against the hallway wall looking into the room Melez would be using. Wonder how long it will be till she is healed. "As for food I ate at the pub. I'm gonna head to bed now... Rest well and try not to worry to much." With that he turned and went into his room.

Melez's head nodded as she memorized the information. Blue towel, don't touch. Unless I know the herbs don't touch. His room, don't touch. "Got it." She nodded for the last time and watched him turn to go to his room. Once he was out of sight she yawned and looked around the room again. I am really tired right now... I'll contact my parents tomorrow... She began chanting words quietly and her eyes began to glow. The items on the bed began to float and with a movement of her hand flew across the room and arranged themselves neatly in the closet. She cleared off the desk and organized it. After a moment her eyes returned to normal and she stumbled forwards but caught herself by taking a quick step. She put a hand to her head and wiped a bead of sweat off of her forehead. "Now I definitely need a rest..." She whispered to herself as she walked over to the bed and crawled in. After a few minutes she fell asleep and began to dream.

(Short version.) She tossed and turned in the bed as the dream fell apart into a nightmare of her mother's death and rebirth. When she awoke in the morning, there was a little sunlight coming through the crack beneath the door. But she could feel that it was very early. She got up and left the room to enter the living room and look out the window, checking for shadows.

(Long version.)
Show hidden content
She began to see images, not clear pictures, but shapes and colors. She could also feel pain, and great distress. Her breathing quickened as the visions became more vivid and clearer. She was sitting in a chair, no, standing behind the chair looking down to a woman bound to the wooden chair. She, herself, could feel the tightness of the ropes around her wrists and feet. She could feel the tightness in her chest of fear and anger. Beyond the chair were six, no, seven figures. Three looked familiar somehow. Two of which were small, one boy, one girl, the third familiar one was a grown man. She couldn't see their faces well, but she could see they were crying. In a flash the three familiar faces were gone, the pain in her chest intensified as the four other figures stepped closer to the woman bound in the chair. The figures moved around the figure and she would feel various sharp or blunt pains all over her body. It felt like days before the figures all stood in front of the woman. She could feel the odd sensation of relaxation? Comfort? Perhaps even joy, as one of the men held out a long, thin, shiny object. All she could discern was that it was metal. The figure with the metal moved and the shiny thing disappeared as she felt a terrible sharp pain through her stomach. She jolted awake and nearly fell out of bed. Seeing the light under the door she knew it was morning so she got up out of bed and left the room to enter the living room and look out the window, checking for shadows.

As soon as Jin fell to his bad he wrapped himself in his blanket and fell asleep almost instantly. He was standing on the edge of a cliff his father ready to push him off a great big smile on his face. Jin could feel the anxiety coming from the younger body he was now inhabiting. He took a step towards the edge and felt some of his foot hit air. He was at the very edge.
"It's alright Jin you will be just fine turn around and fly." That's what he did. He turned shivering as the cold air hit his bare chest as he closed his eyes and fell forward.
He woke up with a start. He hadn't had a dream about flying. Ever. He was on his back and staring at the ceiling. Bright light filtering in through the slightly parted curtains. He rubbed his for head getting up. He took off his clothes tossing them into a basket by his closet and pulling of a white top which he promptly put back away in favor of a bark blue one.
Pulling on jeans he left heading for bathroom, starting a fire to warm the water he kept in there. Then he was off to the kitchen yawning softly and chewing a mint leaf he plucked on the way.

Melez couldn't see them as it was morning and the Shadows hide during the day but she could still feel their presence. She sighed and turned to enter the kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen and finding Jin she jumped slightly not expecting him to be up at this early hour. "Morning." She said quietly not wanting to startle him. "What would you like for breakfast today?" She looked around the kitchen with her eyes but not with her hands, not wanting to be rude by going through his stuff. What is with all of these herbs and plants? He must have a serious green thumb to keep all of these alive and well... Melez's mind began running through all of the plants she could identify and what she could make with them.

(I apologize for the shortness of this post I simply couldn't think of what to fill it with...)

"Well I bought eggs the other day and I made bread. If you know how to burn it slightly that would be fine." He glanced to the window above the sink and got up pouring a bucket of water into a watering can. It was weird having a house guest. A half angel and demon at that. I wonder what she was talking about rumors last night. He was zoning out again as he watered the big plant in the center of the table. "Did you sleep well Melez?"

(Hahaha I think they are gonna be short for a little bit now.)

Melez raised an eyebrow at Jin. "Burn it? Okay, I can do that." She said somewhat confused as to why he'd want the toast slightly burnt but she went about making the eggs and bread the way he'd like it and then a smaller portion for herself. "I slept alright, a little better than I usually do... Probably because I had a proper bed and wasn't on the ground or some sort of cot..." She chuckled remembering the various ways and places she's slept. "How did you sleep Jin?"

(Yeah, probably.)

Jin finished watering the plants in the kitchen snatching another mint leaf and munching on it as the smell of toast and eggs began to permeate the house. He walked over to the sink besides Melez and poured more into the watering can. "I slept good, had a weird dream."
He sat down at the table setting the full watering can in front of him before getting back up again and grabbing a couple of plates down from the cupboards. Jin set the plates down and went off down the hallway pouring the now boiling water into the tub adding enough to fill it halfway before coming back into the kitchen. "After we eat I have the tub ready... though you should check the water before getting in." Is that weird? Maybe its the nerves of wanting to be a good host...

Melez was gently prodding the edge of the egg as she nodded to Jin's answer to her question. She wasn't going to say anything about her dream as she didn't want to talk about it. She started setting toast and eggs on the two plates but paused, her eyes slightly widened as Jin said something that caught her a little off guard. She smiled and nodded before continuing serving the food. "Thank you for doing that. I'm not sure when the last time I had a proper bath was..." Most of the time it was either no bath, or a dip into a cold stream or waterfall. She spent very little time in towns and only stayed over if the weather was bad, or if she was injured. She set the dishes in the sink and washed off a couple of forks she had found on the counter, setting them one next to each plate before sitting down. She put her hands together and whispered. "Ja živim od mača i ja ću umrijeti od mača." She glanced up to Jin before beginning to eat. She used the fork to move the egg onto the bread, she had made hers scrambled, so she made a simple sandwich by folding her bread in half.

Jin did as Melez did. Pushing his eggs on his toast and eating it quickly. Breakfast went on in relative silence till he put his plate in the sink and grabbed the watering can. He moved through the house with an eerie efficiency as he watered and checked the plants. He had done it so many times now it was second nature. Water, check for rot or something good to eat, then turn the plant.
He finished with the plants on the large bay window in the living room. There were all manner of vegetable plants there. As he set the watering can down he began to pick a few good one. Green beans, bell peppers, and cucumbers. As h picked the cucumber he saw his mother bent over the garden picking some sort of veggie. She turned to him and smiled. He couldn't remember her face. Though as he smiled back he realized he was smiling at the veggies in his hands.
Why was he getting all sentimental? He walked into the kitchen putting the veggies in the sink his hands on either side of the basin. He was getting irritated. Maybe it was the cold. Maybe he was just getting to that point where everything he'd bottled up was about to erupt. Even so he really wanted to know more about the half demon now sharing his bathroom... no his home. Not a home... just a house in which I live. After I wash up maybe I'll go find something to cut up... Then he cursed some pretty colorful curses in the demons tongue.

Once done eating Melez took her plate and fork and set them in the sink. She watched Jin for a moment as he methodically went about watering the plants. After he left the sink she washed the dishes very quickly and very well. They were all in the drying part of the sink sparkling clean. She dried her hands on the little towel hanging nearby. She watched Jin then walk over and seem to brood about something as he leant against the sink. She moved her arm and gently stretched her shoulder. It was already feeling a bit better than it did the night before. Perhaps I'm actually making him nervous... It doesn't look like he entertains very often, so having an extra being in the house must be odd... I'll leave today if I can... Melez cleared her throat quietly before speaking. "My shoulder is feeling better, so I can probably leave later today... I just need to gather my things..." She walked over to the window checking once more on the shadows that she could still sense hidden in the darker places between buildings, and in cracks in the road. She'd rather not impose upon him longer than she needed. If she left now and took off into the air the shadows might not be able to follow her, let alone catch her. But if she flew she might rip her stitches. Something she would have to risk.

Jin looked at Melez and stared his green eyes hiding something. "No its fine if you do you'll reopen your wound. Besides I went to all that trouble of drawing you up a bath and you weren't gonna use it?" When he had been watering the plants he had picked up his sword and now had it strapped to his back. Causing the tank top to be pulled tight against his chest. Up close she would be able to see the tattoo of roses on his arm now without his jacket. He smiled putting a warm hand on her good shoulder. "Besides you promised me dinner."
