Blood and Fur {for Animefangirl}

[Dark Raven]

Sasha was feeling better by the way that she was being held by Renji and quieted down after a bit, only crying silent tears as he asked her about her reasons for wanting to leave the room. She cringed at the question since it wasn't a good reason to her now and she knew it, though still wanting to be honest with him she looked up at him and gave him at least the respect to look him in the eyes, despite her not wanting to do so, then said "It was a stupid reason.. and I know that now, I was bored and growing restless in here without you and missed you and didn't like that I was stuck here.. And then there was this strange feeling I couldn't place. It's still there.. I don't know what it is and I feel so stupid for not controlling myself. It's.. strong. But I should be stronger." Looking at him in silence then she was waiting to see what he had to say to that and hoped that it was nothing too bad.

Nisha smiled wide when Eshita seemed to like the drawing she made her and looked at her mother with happiness when informed of the plans she had with her. Cleaning up her toys and the mess she made she reached up automatically when Eshita moved to pick her up, wanting this every chance that she gotten and she was still small enough to be carried easily. She would be for some time to come and this was good news to her. As Eshita asked her about the dress she was quick to nod and sat still when put down on the stool before being changed into her black dress. She looked at the mirror as her hair was being tied with a ribbon and smiled at her own appearance like a little lady, quite content with her look. When hearing her mother say it was time to go she once more reached up before she started to indeed ask questions. "Is Sasha like you now mommy? And like daddy?" she inquired as she was unaware of just how the turning was done, being kept from the details of course.

Bael noticed when his appearance and words frightened both children and this pleased him since they would be less likely to run off or do something boldly when they were in this state. Plus, he had no feelings of any care for them just yet, not until they were turned fully and made a part of the family. He didn't care about humans, they were vermin to him and food occasionally. So as he watched the two shrink back he was pleased to see them paying attention. He spot the tears that were welling up in Anthony's eyes and that told him that the boy was most likely starting to break. "Because that is a privilege, not a right. And you talk back to me again you will get a taste of the belt boy. Now behave and listen to me and you will be granted something as a reward." he informed the boy, having every intention of doing something nice for them to get them at least more lenient to listen and give them a spark of hope as well as to make sure they don't lose their sanity as it seemed to be close to that already.

Renji continued petting her hair as he waited for her to answer his question, but he stopped when she pulled away from him enough to look up at him through tear-red eyes and he felt bad for her but still hadn't decided if he was going to punish her or not. He listened to her answer, nodding slightly whens he was done and said she should have been stronger. "You should have tried harder, but it is hard to control the bloodlust when you are new to this. Nisha still has trouble with that and she is...much older than you" He said, not wanting to tell her that Nisha was twenty five years old since he dind't want her knowing how old he was yet and totally freaking her out. After that he just thought about things for a few moments before nodding to himself again, "I am not going to punish you this time, I will just leave my mothers punishment as the only one but I will not be lenient if if happens again. I need to be able to trust you to keep your word and when you break promises I cannot do that. Do you undertsand?" He asked, his voice normal not angry and he was really just explaining it to her not trying to scold. He waited for her to answer if she were going to before going on. "Now we need to get you some blood, so dries those tears, it's going to be okay I'll make it better" He said, kissing her forehead before setting her on her feet and giving her a few moments to settle down. Then he took her hand and lead the way to the kitchen, getting a glass of blood that his mother kept for herself and handing it to Sasha. "Drink this, it will help you with the worst of the thirst but it wont be satisfied until you hunt." he said, actually curious how she would react to hunting the first time since she would have to kill a human.

Eshita was always very loving and tender with her children, even if it may seem cold to people that dind't know her since she tended to be reserved with her emotions and called them 'child' instead of their name but that was just part of her being ancient and she felt her children knew that she loved them. So of course she was quick to praise her daughters drawing before taking her to get changed so they could go and hunt and when the child was ready she scooped her up into her arms again. Eshita looked down at Nisha when the girl asked her about Sasha and she smiled at that, thinking to herself that it hadn't taken very long at all for the girl to start asking about that. "She's more like Renji then like me and your father. She has a demon form now too, which was a surprise to us, it looks like Renji's only the colors are reversed" She explained, thinking that maybe Nisha would find that interesting. "When we turn the human children they will probably have one too just like you and your brother and Sasha" She added, then waited to see what the little girl would have to say to that as she carried her through the woods and to a far away park to hunt without drawing attention to themselves.

Anthony winced again when Bael threatened him with the belt for back talking, which he still didn't think he was doing but he wasn't brave enough to tell the demon that and risk getting belted. He also didn't think it was fair that he was saying that visiting Lhoki was a privileged and that got the tears that welled in his eyes to start to spill out and he wiped at them absently, no longer upset about being weak when he cried since he'd been doing a lot of it lately. He was too scared to say anything though so he just wiped at his tears and looked over at the demon when Bael added that if he listened he'd get a reward and he had no idea what that might be but he knew his two choices were obey and get a reward or disobey and get belted or something else unpleasant and he didn't want that. Plus, he was a child still so the idea of a reward was something that appealed to him even if it was from someone that he thought he hated right now. So after a few seconds hesitation he slowly let go of Lhoki and walked over towards Bael, stopping outside of grabbing range, "The door's locked" he said softly wen he got over there, trying to let Bael know that he was trying to obey but he couldn't go back to his room when he was locked in here, he wasn't trying to be defiant

[Dark Raven]

Bael was cold, and cruel to those that were not his family, and for now the two human children he had before him were not yet family so he was simply being cruel to them to keep them in line. He was pleased however that Anthony wasn't fussing over what he was told and Bael watched the boy go over to the door before saying that it was locked. "I know." he simply stated before looking to Lhoki and beckoned the girl over. Not at all willing she shook her head frightened though he was not having that and barked "Now child" This served to shock her enough to scramble over and with a frightened look she stood before him. "Good. Now that you both are behaving it's time for your rewards." he told them then and reached down picking Lhoki up before turning to the door and unlocking it, opened it and turned to Anthony, picking him up as well. With both in his hold he then headed out and into the kitchen, ordering the servants to cook something up for the pair and took them to the play room in the meantime. Reaching out to Eshita then he made her aware of his plans and to meet him later in the play room when she was done with Nisha and to take her with as well since the children were hardly to be considered humans anymore by the amount of blood of the both of them in them, there would be minimum threat of Nisha attacking them. Once in the play room he put both kids down then gestured towards the toys and other. "Go on. You are permitted to play until the food is done and you will both get a decent meal." he informed them then. Looking more than confused with this Lhoki eyed Bael as if he was about to take it right back and this was merely a trick of some sorts. Still she headed closer to the boxes of toys and looked into them to see what there was to play with before taking a stuffed animal and hurried to a corner, clinging to it for comfort.

Nisha looked at Eshita as she was carried and asked her questions which she got answers to before nodding a little and widened her eyes at the news that Sasha had a demon form as well, now wanting to see it rather eagerly.With that in mind she looked at Eshita intense and said "When she gonna hunt with us mommy? When can I see her, will she play with me? Will Renji be around more now?" half indicating that despite their squabbling she was missing her brother. As she was told about the human children she again perked up in interest and was hoping that they would make nice playmates, despite her not wanting them to have her things or the attention she wants from her parents. She was not good at sharing at all.

Sasha let her head lower in shame as Renji said that she should have tried harder, agreeing with that and it only added to her feeling of guilt towards her actions. Though as he continued and said that it was indeed hard for a newborn she felt a little better, not enough to make it okay in her eyes but still better than first. She was about to ask how old Nisha was since he said much older than her, that making him even older, not that it was bothering her, when he continued and said that he wasn't going to punish her which came as a shock to her as she fully expected him to. She nodded instantly as he said that he wouldn't be as lenient next time and that he needed to know he could trust her. That being understandable for her she nodded her head vividly to show that she did understand indeed. When informing her then that she needed blood she cringed a little since that would be an odd experience for her even if she has fed from him, but it was different to her to do it that way. It was more intimate in her eyes when feeding from him. Still she smiled at him after he promised to make it better and wiped at her eyes, leaning in as she was kissed on the head. She followed him willingly as he led her to the kitchen and looked at the glass of blood before her before the bloodlust forced her to drink it and surprisingly it tasted divine to her. It took the edge of the severe hunger she was starting to feel, and she felt better immediately. Though as Renji mentioned hunting she gave him a startled look and had a vague idea what he was aiming at. "Hunt? You mean.. kill?" she asked somewhat hesitant, not really sure how she was feeling about this.

[animefangirl]

Anthony was trying to behave himself for the moment, since he was pretty much broken at this point but once he got a bit more weight back and stopped being so terrified of Bael he would likely get that attitude of his back at least to a point. For now he was cowed though so when Bael threatened him with punishment if he did not obey he reluctantly walked over to the door and pointed out that it was locked so he couldn't leave. He looked confused when Bael simply saidt hat he knew before calling Lhoki over, the boy jumping in surprise when Bael snapped out a 'now' to Lhoki and flinching instinctively since that tone just didn't bode well for them in the past. He just stood there as Bael said that they were both getting a reward before picking them up, Tony tensing as he was picked up but he didn't struggle this time. He looked around a bit fearfully as Bael carried them down to the kitchen and then carried them to a playroom which really surprised him. He looked up at the man as he was set down and listened when Bael sent them to play and just like Lhoki he thought it was a trick or something and he was hesitant to obey but he was also hesitant not to do so since Bael told them to. So after Lhoki scurried into a corner with the stuffed animal Tony wandered farther into the room and found a coloring book and crayons and he went to sit beside Lhoki and tried to interest her in coloring with him, casting nervous looks at Bael as he did since he wasn't sure if he'd get yelled at for being close to Lhoki again. He didn't think it was against the mans rules this time since he'd been told they were permitted to play but he was never sure of what to expect with this demon.

Eshita smiled at the eagerness that Nisha was showing towards Sasha, pleased that the girl apparently was willing to accept Renjis new mate since that woudl just make things easier when they were together as a whole family. She looked down at her daughter again when Nisha asked a few more questions and the woman smiled fondly at hte little girl when Nisha rattled the questions off too quickly for her to answer them so she waited until Nisha was finsihed before answering. "She'll probably start hunting with us tomorrow or the next day, today she's going with Renji. I'm not sure if she will play with you, you shall have to ask her but you two are not allowed to be alone together for now, you understand me? If she comes into a room with you and wont leave then you are to come and find me, your father or Renji." She said, her voice getting firm when she gave her directions and she waited to see if the child was going to agree or not. After Nisha had a chance to answer, if she was going to, then Eshita wen ton to answer her next question. "I'm not sure if he will be, child. He needs to help Sasha adjust. You remember how hard it was for you to contol your thurst when you were first old enough to hunt? That's how Sasha is feeling now." She explained, wanting the girl to understand that there was a good reason that Renji was not around though she felt bad for the child since she could tell that Nisha was missing her brother but that was just how things would work now. "The same rules will go for the human children as well, when we get back we're going to go to your playroom where your father has them playing right now so you can meet them. They're gong to be part of the family and I expect you to treat them the same you would treat Sasha and not be cruel to them. You and Renji will always come first, but Sasha, Lhoki and Anthony will still be family members and they should be treated as such." She explained again, waiting to see what Nisha would say to that one then.

Renji couldn't help but scold her for her behavior, since he really was displeased with her and he wanted her to know that. However, he felt that was sufficent since the young woman had already been punished by his mother and he didn't want to be cruel to her so he told her that he was going to let her off the hook this time and smiled when she nodded at his warning. "Good" he said softly, kissing her lips gently before telling her that she needed blood and tenderly wiped her tears away. After tat he lead her downstairs where he gave her the blood and was pleased when she perked up a little bit after drinking it since he didn't like his young mate being uncomfortable or driven desperate with thirst like that. Unfortunately she seemed to register the practicality of what he'd just said and asked about killing. "Yes, but if it bothers you we can pick someone bad. That will make it easier for you. Its part of this life you'll have to get used to it, and once you smell the persons blood instinct will take over so you wont even have to think about it" he assured her, wrapping her in his arms to offer her some comfort if she was in a place where she coudl be comforted right now.

[Dark Raven]

Bael noticed the frightened looks that the kids were giving him as well as how they tensed when he picked them up, pleased that it caused them both to behave themselves and this meant that he didn't have any cause to be overly harsh on them. As he had informed them that they were getting a reward for their obedience he led them to the play room where Nisha mostly spend her time alone now as Renji had outgrown it by far. It would be good for the child to have some play mates and as soon as the two human children were turned she would be able to play with them freely, for now they were not there fully yet so Nisha needed the supervision. He didn't care that perhaps the two thought that it was a trick when he told them that they could play with the toys when he had set them down in the room and just watched as Lhoki scurried to a corner with a stuffed toy and Anthony soon followed, attempting to coax her to color with him. The demon simply sat down at a chair in the corner and watched them with an alert look. He didn't show as if he was displeased with Anthony for going over to the girl and would left it at that were it not for him to start and get them over to his side now that they were subdued, the nervous look that he was given further encouraging him to do so, he spoke up "You're allowed to play together." With that said he leaned back and summoned a book to his hand, starting to read while giving the two occasional glances.


Sasha counted her blessings when it turned out to be so that Renji seemingly decided not to punish her as well, though she had fully expected him to do so and more at this point. It was a surprise, but a more than pleasant and relieving surprise with that. So she followed her mate and was more than willing to drink the blood that was offered to her, but to kill a person was a different matter in her eyes. Sure, the blood most likely came from the same source and it meant that someone was killed for it, but that was not the same thing in her eyes. A lot like one would not see a hamburger as simply a slaughtered cow's ground up meat on a piece of bread. Giving Renji a hesitant and rather startled look she showed that she was not happy with the idea at all. Though if she were to become completely like what she has been turned in to she would have to face the music so to speak sooner or later. "Can't I just.. well eat normal food? What do you eat anyway? You eat normal food too right? And what about drinks like this?" she asked, wanting to see what her options were before deciding something as drastic as murder, and with that it was murder of something up til now she was too.

When Nisha was done firing the many questions at her mother she looked at the woman fully expecting answers to them all. She was a curious thing and that was only encouraged, mostly towards her studies and lessons but she was one to ask a ton of questions as well. And most of the time this was tolerated and encouraged, though at times tired out those around her with it as well. This seemed not to be the case this time and she listened as she was answered on the many questions by Eshita, her face serious as she usually did when attempting to focus her mind. She nodded when she was told that she would have to ask Sasha herself if the girl was to play with her which in Nisha's mind simply meant spending time with her more likely than actually playing, the thought of her joining for hunts excited the little one and that was clear by the smile that appeared on her face instantly. Though that vanished when told that she was not to be alone with Sasha just yet and to come find her parents or brother if it was the case that she was in a room alone and Sasha entered it. The firm tone that Eshita used was enough to make her agree on it however even if it confused the girl to a certain amount and she nodded firmly. She continued to lack a smile however when informed that Renji might still have no time for her, though she understood a little better when told about Sasha's struggles with her nature as she herself knew how that felt. It wasn't an entirely good reason to her still and the look she had on her face radiated disappointment but she didn't comment further on that. Instead she just listened as she was answered on her questions on the human children and was surprised to hear that they were to be treated as family, even more so to hear where they were at that moment and that was enough to cause her to get a more than displeased look on her face. They were in 'her' playroom and touching 'her' things as she saw it, not happy at all about this. "Don't wants to meet them now." she muttered and crossed her arms with an angry pout, not wanting to treat them as part of the family, it was enough to have to share them with Sasha, now the human children as well? No, she was not a happy girl right now, no matter if her mother said that she and Renji came first, she didn't want to share the attention with other kids.

Anthony likely was going to be upset when he found out that he and Lhoki were going to be expected to be the demon's spawns playmates, since the very idea was going to frighten an disgust him considering he still had no good feelings for demons and nothing that Bael had done so far had done anything to change that. Eshita's efforts had made him trust and like her, so he was in for a big shock when she revealed herself. For now he just got the coloring book and went to sit beside his friend and he cast worried looks over at Bael and relaxed slightly when the man said that they were allowed to play together. "Wanna color with me" He asked Lhoki softly, sort of worried about how she was acting and wanting to do something nice with her instead of just cowering with her which was what they'd been doing thus far aside from sleeping curled up with one another.

Renji had expected her to have issues with the idea of killing someone, though he and Nisha hadn't had that problem since they were raised knowing that humans were food and that they would one day kill them the same way their parents did, so he was quick to reassure her that they could kill a criminal or something and that it would be easy once she was doing it. He sighed when she asked if she could just eat regular food or drink the bottled blood and he shook his head when she was finished with all her questions. "You'll need fresh blood every day for a while, when you get older you can go less often. I only have to hunt once a week and Mother can survive just on the bottled blood if she had to though she prefers fresh. For now you'll just have to deal with it, we do eat normal food too and that's what you'll have twice a day but one meal has to be a fresh kill" He explained, not really expecting her to be happy about it and feeling sort of guilty for having turned her into this when the idea of hunting was so distasteful for her. After that he took her hand and started to lead her out of the house, thinking htat it was best to just get it over with and that her instincts would take over if he just bit a human and got their blood in the air so she wouldn't even have to think about it to do it.

Eshita was likely never going to discourage her daughter from asking questions, since she was a great lover of books and learning so she wanted to encourage that in her spawn as well. So when Nisha asked her ton of questions she listened to them all and then gave the little girl the answers that she wanted, watching as Nisha seemed to focus and process the rest of it. She smiled when Nisha nodded at her order not to be alone with Sasha, kissing the child's forehead to sort of lighten the blow so to speak since she knew she sounded stern but she wasn't angry with Nisha and didn't want Nisha thinking that she was either. "Good, child, I am proud of you for agreeing so easily" She praised. Eventually she discussed the human children and she noticed the very displeased look on the girls face and she could hear the kids jealous thoughts in her mind and frowned at them, and her frown deepened a bit when she muttered about not wanting to meet them now. "Nisha you will not be this way to the humans. They are going to be part of the family and I will not put up with you being jealous, it is beneath you and you will be punished if you do not cease your attitude right now." She scolded, stopping to give the girl a displeased look of her own as she outlined her expectations for the girl and waited to see what she would say.

[Dark Raven]

Bael was well aware that once he and Eshita made clear just who she is and who Nisha is it will be a great shock to the human kids. At some level this amused him greatly, but he was also hoping that once they have gotten over the shock they would be able to take it to the next stage with the two: turning them fully. At this point they would only be half and have perhaps gotten stronger, and their senses heightened, but not much beside that due to the small amounts over longer times, in contrary to Sasha when she had Renji's blood in her system before she was turned. For now he was going to let them play and as he sat in the chair in the corner of the play room he occasionally watched the two from there.

Lhoki eyed Bael as Antony came over to her, worried that they would be in trouble for being close or playing together but when the demon did nothing and said they were allowed, she was more willing to focus on her friend. She was still somewhat wary of Eshita but the woman gave her no reason to fear her so she was going to be in for a big shock as well, one that would possibly traumatize her and distrust anyone beside Anthony. So she looked over to the coloring book and nodded to Anthony's question before picking a blue crayon and started to carefully color a little, clinging to the stuffed animal for comfort desperately.

Sasha hadn't expected Renji to tell her that she needed to kill if there were any other way, knowing him at least well enough for that. She was entirely strange to the idea of killing a person for food and since she hadn't been taught from early on that this was normal, it was more than a shock to her, even if she could have expected it nonetheless. In the back of her head she knew that this was the way that Renji and the rest fed, but it was still shocking to know that she had to do so now as well. So she asked if there really was no other way while knowing the answer already and it was no surprise that Renji told her that she needed fresh kills. She was at least pleased that this won't be a permanent thing that she needs to do every day as that prospect really didn't look inviting to the teen. Sighing she nodded to show that she understood and was willing to cooperate and see how it goes, as the hunger in her really was strong and her body aching for blood, fresh blood as she felt that lure again, as if a rope was pulling at her. She looked into the direction of the play room idly, not knowing what it was she was looking towards, or what was there, it was just beckoning her. Though that didn't last all that long since Renji took hold of her hand and started to lead her out of the house. The luring was becoming less the more they walked away from the house and she was instead distracted by how bright and loud everything was, shielding her eyes a little from the light and wincing at the sounds that were clear to her that she couldn't really place to what they were.

Nisha was pleased that Eshita was proud of her for wanting to spend time with Sasha and Renji and this got a smile out of her up until her mother came to the part on the humans. She glared and felt more than jealous when hearing the news and that only got more so when Eshita went to scold her for it, to the girl something that was unfair. "They're food.. humans and.. stupid." the girl protested, not entirely coming up with anything better at the moment. "You're my mommy, not theirs, and daddy's mine too." she offered then and started to wiggle to be let down.

[animefangirl]

((not gonna post Anthony cause all he’s doing is playing with Lhoki till the other two get back))

Renji was relieved when she seemed to accept that she needed to hunt, even though she wasn’t looking happy about it, and he just took her hand when he saw her looking towards the playroom. “No, not those humans. Those are special. We’ll go look for someone that won’t be missed” He said, giving her hand a tug to get her to follow him out of the kitchen and towards the door outside. He looked at her as he lead her outside and smiled when he saw her wincing at the light and sounds, amused by that since he had forgotten what it was like to be so sensitive. “You will soon get used to it” He said, leading her into the shadows so that it would be easier on her eyes. He didn’t speak again as he picked up the pace, knowing she would be able to keep up and moving far faster than human eyes could have followed but she should be able to thanks to her new eyes. It didn’t take too long before they reached the park that he and his parents had been hunting in, though he knew that they would have to move to different hunting grounds soon if they weren’t going to be noticed. “Alright, usually you would have to seek out the humans yourself, but since this is your first time I’ll find them for you and teach you that later” he said, using his own mind to scout the area and he quickly located someone hiking alone and skimmed their head to see that no one was with them. “Lets go” he said, bolting towards the human and releasing her hand once he reached the woman. He grabbed her and bit her neck before releasing her right away, not trying to feed just trying to get her blood flowing and looked over at Sasha, fully expecting her instincts to take over now.

Eshita hadn’t really expected Nisha to be thrilled with the idea of being nice to the humans and accepting them into the family, and she didn’t fully expect the child to obey that either but she wasn’t going to put up with Nisha being mean to them or harming them. So she scolded her daughter and frowned when Nisha protested before starting to wiggle to be let down. “Stop that” She said firmly, holding the little girl tighter so that she couldn’t go anywhere and she gripped the child’s chin to force her to look up and meet Eshita’s eyes. “They are not always going to be humans; they are going to be like Sasha and part of the family so you will treat them appropriately. Yes your father and I are your and Renji’s parents, but we will be their creators and that is similar. You and Renji are always going to be most important to us, but these humans will be treated as family once they are turned just like Sasha do you understand?” She said, trying to explain to her daughter why they were doing this but there was a slight sharpness to her tone since Nisha’s behavior was getting on her nerves and she was not going to tolerate it for much longer.

[Dark Raven]

(ok)

Sasha listened as Renji explained that the humans in the playground were special and she frowned at that but let it rest for now, wanting to ask about it at a later time. Mainly because she was more focusing on her task at hand than that. She followed him as he tugged at her hand and soon enough as they were outside the light and sounds were overwhelming to her, not having anticipated this being the case it freaked her out slightly. That was, until Renji reassured her that she would be used to it soon. Pleased nonetheless that he lead her to the more shadowed part of the forest. As he picked up the pace she at first was startled until realizing that she had little trouble to keep up with him. As they arrived at the park she looked at Renji when he told her that she was to scout for her own kill usually, but was instantly relieved when learning that he was going to find a kill for her instead this time. Looking at him curiously as he located a suitable human she was more than interested in the ways to do this. As he said lets go she flinched as the moment seemed to be there and her heart started to race instantly, both scared and nervous for what was about to come. As he released her she watched him grab and bite the woman, the scent of blood instantly filling the air and driving her senses wild with hunger and lust. It didn't take more than a second or two before Sasha jumped at the woman and pressed her mouth hard onto the bite, drinking from her hungrily. Not in control of herself she lost herself in the sensation it gave her, locked onto the woman in a deathgrip.

Nisha was not a happy camper at all and she became gradually more unhappy hearing the words and the tone that Eshita used to speak to her. She was not pleased to have to share her parents, as she was really possessive of them and wanted the attention for herself, not a lowly human. Sasha she could tolerate, especially now that she was turned. But Sasha was not one that would need constant attention from Bael and Eshita. That was not the case with the human children and Nisha was aware of that. She looked at her mother as she was lectured and kept still for that, but as she was asked if she understood she also noticed the sharp tone it was spoken in and that made it so that she closed up, angry and not happy with the situation at all. Looking away for as far as she could while being held by her chin she was unwilling to understand, not willing to accept it.
