Eltana rose from his seat, then headed out the door. "You don't believe me? Come with me and see for yourself, then."
--------------------------------------
Drace raised a brow when he saw a stone come through the window. Standing up, he headed out back and looked around. "The hell...?"

Nikolai just shrugged. "What are you going to show me?" he asked, following after Eltana. He paused and said, "You heard that window breaking, right?"
-----------------
Mikey stumbled out of the bush, gasping for breath. He smiled at Drace as though seeing an angel. "Oh, thank you, young man. Please, I need something to drink. May I come in?" he asked, panting once again. "That stone was thrown by a man trying to break into your home. I fought him, but he tossed me into the bushes. Horrid creature must've run away".

"Things are always breaking around here," Eltana hummed as he made his way upstairs.
Stopping at a door, he opened it and led the boy into Dante's bedroom. He walked over to the closet and opened it. Sorting through her clothing, he grabbed a few outfits and tossed them onto the bed. The clothing consisted mainly of purple shawls, canary yellow button-shirts, and black bonnets. Obviously this was clothing that a woman her age would never be caught dead in.
He then walked over to a bookshelf at the other end of the room. After looking through the books, he grabbed two and tossed them onto the floor, along with a framed picture. Upon closer inspection, Nikolai could see that it was a tattered photo of an elderly woman having tea with a girl with black dreadlocks. They were sitting at a small table in a garden outside of a mansion, and the woman was wearing clothing similar to the outfit Eltana threw onto the bed moments before.
"Dante is a parasitic spirit," Eltana explained, turning to face him. "For the past four hundred years she has been swapping bodies with young women. The old bat in that picture was her previous vessel."
He motioned to the two books on the floor. "If you still don't believe me, read her journals. Be warned, some stuff in there is pretty gruesome. It's like the devil's memoirs."
-------------------------------------------------
Drace stared at him for a few moments, then shrugged and turned away. "Whatever you say, bub. Just don't bother me," he said as he made his way back into the house.

"No thank you" Nikolai said, heading out of the room. He then walked back to the rec room, where Dahlia was still on the couch.
"Hey" he said, climbing back onto the couch next to her.
---------------------
Mikey smiled and stepped inside. He took a bottled water from the fridge, then headed upstairs. Once upstairs, he looked around for his targets. Seeing them in the rec room, the odd man smiled and walked into the room. He then closed the door and smiled at the two children.
"Hello" he said, sounding very kind. Mikale Tyanod was an excellent actor, it seems.

Eltana sighed heavily. "Well, that was certainly a waste of time..."
He looked back at the clothing then, frowning when he realized he made quite a mess of things. For a moment he considered picking it up, but he decided to leave it there and blame it on Drace. Dante hated him passionately, so he was sure she would believe him if he said the little pervert was going through her clothing.
-------------------------------------
Dahlia stared at him, her eyes wide. Although he seemed friendly, he still frightened her. "STRANGER DANGER!" she yelled, hiding behind Nikolai.

Mikey frowned slightly then smiled again. "Don't be frightened, young lady. I am not a stranger. I am a former coworker of Dr. Marcoh" he said, bowing slightly. "However, due to my father's passing away three years ago, I was forced to leave my job as a paramedic."
Nikolai looked at Dahlia and smiled. Obviously he didn't remember that Mikey had attempted to kill him years ago, and would be attempting to do the same thing again.

Barry shrugged. "Alright, suit yourself. Just don't underestimate hi-"
He paused as she kissed the abominable creature.
Cute? Good Lord. She hasn't seen him when he's proper hungry then. He thought with a shudder.
He looked up in surprise.
"Uh...Sure. I think I can do that."
It had actually been ages since he last had made a proper meal, a fact that kind of explained his gangly looks. But he reckoned it was like learning to ride a bike, it wasn't something you forgot just like that.
He followed her and Gluttony into the kitchen once more, his abandoned bowl of yogurt still standing on the side.

Denny pulled into the driveway, having passed Jean and Martel as they drove to work.
"I'm home! If anyone cares." The last part he muttered, placing his keys on the hook before shrugging off his jacket and hanging it up.
He walked through the house, smiling as he saw the kids and no dead bodies, stopping at the new, or rather old face.
"Who let you in?" His eyes narrowed at Mikey's form. He hadn't been involved in the incident himself, however, he'd heard plenty, knowing that he had every right to glare till the guy left the house.

"A young man let me in" Mikey said with a smile. He was sure Denny wouldn't recognize him, so he kept up his facade. "I was just about to ask these two if they'd like to join me at my home for a party" he continued, glancing at the two children.
Nikolai smiled at the mention of a party. The boy loved parties, usually because they meant crowds. And crowds usually meant no one paid attention to what the kids were doing.

Eltana walked out of the room and descended the staircase, not noticing Mikey and the children when he passed the room. When he got downstairs, he went back into the kitchen and took his seat.
"What an exhausing morning..." he mumbled, taking a sip of his coffee.
Hearing someone knock on the back door, he sighed and rose to answer it. He opened the door and blinked when he saw who was on the other side. "Charlotte! What are you doing here?"
Charlotte smiled at him and stepped inside, carrying a box of popcorn and a bag full of movies. "It's Saturday morning, remember? We always get togehter for movies."
Eltana frowned. "Ah, but Dante is at school. She has to teach for another hour or so."
"Oh, that's right... Well, I suppose I could wait here for a little while," Charlotte sighed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dahlia shook her head. "Mommy says I can't go with strangers..."

Just then, Arden popped into the room. She had apparently heard the entire conversation.
"Don't worry, Dahlia. If this guy tries anything, we can kick his ass, no problem" she said, trying to calm her friend.
"Or, if you really don't want to go, just make a little promise" Mikey said with a slight smile. "Just don't tell anyone that your little friend came with me. You don't want him to get in trouble, do you?"

Dahlia shook her head. This guy seemed nice enough, but something about him made her uneasy. "But it you know he'll get in trouble if he goes.... Why are you asking him? That isn't very resons.... responsaval."

"Like I said, I am a friend of Dr. Marcoh. And I'm sure this young boy will love to be away from that strange woman with the pink bangs" Mikey said in a kind voice.
At the mention of getting away from Rose, Nikolai smiled. He'd love to get away from the woman who completely terrified him.

Dahlia looked over at Denny pleadingly, unsure of what to do. After a few moments she sighed and shook her head. She was far from bright, but she could tell that they were going to go with him no matter what she said.
"Okay..." she mumbled. "I'll keep quiet."
------------------------------------------------------
Charlotte took a seat at the table. "I'm surprised Dante is teaching on the weekend. Don't tell her I said this, but she hardly seems like the type that would volunteer to be around children.."
Eltana chuckled and sipped his drink again. "The principal has been forcing her and Scar to come in on weekends for a while now. He likes pissing them off."
Charlotte frowned. "...Well, that's not right..."

"Thank you, dear" Mikey said, with a smile. He frowned however, when he remembered he needed the stone. Turning to the children he asked, "Excuse me, but have you seen a small glowing red stone around here? I've been told it has great healing abilities and a friend of mine is very ill".

"Red stone...? No.." Dahlia mumbled, shaking her head. She remembered hearing her mother talking about one a while back, but she had no idea where it was.

Arden smiled slightly. "I think I have someone who can help you" she said, before whistling softly.
----------------
Downstairs, Bandit awoke from her spot beneath the coffee table and barked. She then raced upstairs to see what her master wanted.

Dahlia frowned when Bandit pranced over to them. Something seemed awfully bad about this man. She did not remember ever seeing him before, and he just waltzed in pretending to be their friend. He wanted something from them, but she had no idea what.
"I'm worried..." she whispered to Arden.

"Bout what?" Arden asked as Bandit raced into the room, wagging her tail. She looked at Mikey and asked what the stone would smell like.
"Death, blood, something like that" the young man said, smiling as the girl told her dog what to look for. His grin widened as Bandit raced off towards Dante's room.

"This man seems bad..." Dahlia whispered to him, watching as Bandit ran off toward her mother's room. Not only was he about to run off with her friends, but he was going to steal from her mommy, too.
