It listened and watched, it was clear that at the moment she was weak. Though Victoria did seem to be gradually regaining her strength. It contemplated her suggestion, leaving, but where would it leave to? It could go to the temple but it would simply be waiting for her arrival there instead of in this room. It watched her walk off to the bathroom. Staying where it was as it decided there was no reason to leave. It would ponder on her words as it waited. Triggered, that was a possibility yet to be concidered. Though the first two visions had vague similarities with the visions that it was unlikely yet the last two shared very similar environments and the conditions were not so unlike one another. It turned its attention to the wall and simply stared at it as it thought. Falling still like some colored statue. The visions were not in cronological order if they were memories, more shifted and misplaced. Assuming they were memories why would they be in such unorganized patterns. Its curiousity on the matter only increased as it waited. |

A few breaths later and Victoria took a step towards the tub to run her bathwater. At first she thought it was just a cramp in her stomach from over exertion but the sudden wave of nausea immdiately signaled otherwise. Taking a quick right, Victoria found the strength to rush to the toilet. She could only dry heave as the blood she had consumed was completely assimilated into her. After a few painful contractions of her stomach and throat, Victoria regained composure and hugged the porcelin for a long moment. The chill began to make itsway into her bones and Victoria pushed away from the bowl, steadying herself as she stood. Reaching the faucet for the tub, Victoria held herself against the side with the hand not busied. The hot water began to flow and the steam refreshed her skin as it rose. Removing the robe, she let it crumple to the floor. The decanter of lavendar honey sat beside the spicket and Victoria poured a generous amount under the stream. As the bubbles rose, the sound of the water the scent filled her senses. Concentrating on the noise, Victoria became entranced and her body and mind relaxed. Shutting off the water supply, she balanced on the side of the tub as she stepped into the warmth. With both feet in the tub, she slowly sat down. On her decent, Victoria's skin felt aflame. The sudden shift in temperature was added onto with extreme dizziness. Panic rose as Victoria's vision blurred. In her state, Victoria slipped on the smooth surface and fell without grace. Knocking the back of her head on the hard material of the tub, Victoria was again engulfed in pitch. Waves from the displacement from her sudden submergance spilled over the sides, covering the tile in water. The noise ceased as quickly as it occured. Victoria's body lay still of all movement under the water, including breath. Life would not leave her form within the minute as in mortals, however if she were left for an extended period of time nature would have it's way. |

The creature was entranced in its own thoughts. Systematically trying to decipher the small portions of each vision that it vaguely remembered. Much like having a photographic memory and trying to use it on the details of your surroundings on a very foggy day. It was a haze of certainty in an unclear memory. The parts it remembered were crystal clear but each one lacked detail. The sound of something colliding with some hard surface caused its eyes to refocus. Its head snapped in the direction of the sound. Its attention had been brought to the door leading into Victoria's bathroom. A sensation went through it, an anxiety of sorts. It did not recognize the emotion, or that it was. It moved to the door, pressing it open, no barrier would have a chance of stopping it and it made no notion to check to see if there had been one. It stopped after entering and looked hastily about the room from its vantage point. It barely saw her hair in the water and made a quick walk to the tub's side. Looking down it saw her submerged. This was odd, its head tilting to one side as it watched for a moment as it tried to decipher what was wrong. As it did its head became light, the familiar feeling and it attempted to fight it off but to no prevail. The darkness took it as it knelt down beside the tub. As the vision took it, it submerged its arms and began to pull Victoria from the water. He opened his eyes as he pulled her up to him, her limp body a sad notion of the truth as tears ran down his cheeks. His left arm holding her against him his right ran through her golden blonde hair, admiring what beauty she had even in passing. He then brought up against him, sobbing gently as he held her frail limp body against himself, craddling her head against his chest. He looked down on her, brown eyes full of sorrow as he mouthed the words, 'I will always love you.' |

Victoria saw nothing but pitch while unconcious. The water threatened to prune her fingers and toes, but Victoria's body was not submerged long enough. The water ran off of her skin and hair as Victoria surfaced. The chill in the air roused conciousness. Coughing the water out of her lungs, her realization of the situation caused a bit of panic. Grabbing onto the creature's shoulders, Victoria looked below her at the water. The last thing she remembered was getting into the tub and then there she was. "What happened?" Victoria was stunned. Granted the creature always had an empty expression on his face, but this time there was something else. Just different than she had experianced. Had Victoria been less disoriented, she could have drawn a much more accurate conclusion but she wasn't and Victoria held tight to the creature and waited for him to respond. |

Despite Victoria's grip on the creature it did not seem to break the vision it was having as the brown eyes continued to look down on her He pulled her body against his chest and sobbed. The tears continued to flow down his cheeks even as everything began to fade to black. The creature's eyes swirled back to their own color as it looked down to Victoria in it's arms. It slowly pulled her back to look down at her as the last of the light brown color left its eyes. Its embrace more distant now, unlike the one before it seemed all emotion had left its tight embrace and now it was holding her more like a thing, "You were submerged in the pool...and...I think I had another vision." it stated as the last tear rolled down its cheek and dripped from its chin. OOC:Sorry for it being so short. In a bit of a rush but I had to post. |

As the creature's eyes returned to their respective color, Victoria could have kicked herself in the rear for the lack of observation. She held on to the creature, not from his lack of ability to do so but for her own lack of grace. His explanation of their situation humored her extremely but Victoria forced back a chuckle. "So it appears," The tears again.Victoria watched the droplet fall between them and heard the drip as it hit the bathwater. She returned her eyes to the creature as she thought. Their reoccurance weakening her current reasoning of the visions. Why would that moment be so emphasized rather than the actual cause for the pain? Or the person who was responsible? Victoria knew they would have to speak with the queen again. The circumstances required another voice. Perhaps this creature's emergence was not so random as had been assumed. Or as vicious. There was that tingling sensation in her chest that always came with a feeling of renewed hope. Her eyes dropped to his lips for a moment before looking down at the tub which she was still extended over. "So, are you going to put me on my feet or climb in with me?" The words mocking a moment that became quite awkward for Victoria, now almost anxious to be back on the ground and dress. Bath time was definitely over. OOC: Now you know just how censored this version really is...lol |

The creature noted Victoria's odd actions. It was a bit unusual as for her to remain this silent, so far as it could tell. Holding her still it watched her eyes more directly as they seemed to be moving more. There was something it should have caught onto, it knew, but it didn't. Though still something was odd. It felt something stirring in it and its body became a bit warmer. As she asked if it was going to pull her out or climb it, the creature paused for a moment and a smirk tugged at the corner of its mouth for a brief moment. It leaned forward and scooped her up into its arms. It then stepped away from the tub and over towards her robe, carefully setting her down on her feet. "Are you sure you are okay to walk?" it asked, a hint of actual concern lingering in its voice. As it watched her with that ever so familiar blank expression once again. Yet still it kept an arm firmly around her, holding her up and against it, keeping her upright rather she had the strength to steady herself or not. |

Victoria watched the creature for a response and she could have almost cheered with the semi-smirk. Victoria wrapped her arms around the creature's neck, probably more eagerly than needed. As the creature brought her to the small pile of her robe, Victoria felt her body flush. Taking her eyes off of his face, she regained some composure. As the creature set Victoria on the floor, the chill returned to her toes. She pondered answering the creature honestly for a moment. Regardless if the creature had emotion or not, Victoria did, and as more time progressed the creature's position on that fact seemed to fluctuate. Victoria passed any emotion it seemed to display on the visions. Could she walk? Sure she could try, but there was no guarantee she wouldn't fall. The recent events and her condition did not coincide. Whatever had caused her last affliction was not from the ritual and was something Victoria had never experianced. "I can only try," Victoria opted for honesty. That was always the right path. Then again a part of her, the one she denied, wanted to be the damsel in distress. Looking to the robe, it almost made her nauseated again. The memory of the disemboweled creature flashed through her head. "That must be washed," Victoria looked away, her eyes reaching the creature for a moment before moving to the door. She took a step forward and she felt her leg threaten to give out. Quickly, Victoria held onto the creature's shoulder. "Perhaps not quite yet..." |

It shifted a bit, never letting go of Victoria. As always it was careful to wait, when she said that the robe must be washed it was a bit confused but decided she meant she would not wear them again. It into her eyes as she looked to it, then its eyes followed hers to the door. When she fell it pulled her against it in order to keep Victoria on her feet. It didnt say anything, it had no words to say and no reason to speak at the moment. As it stood there for a moment thinking on what to do. It came to the conclusion that her standing was possibly not the best position. All the while it stood it kept Victoria held against it. It looked to the door again and then back to her, "You should be resting." it stated. With that it crouched down, placing its other arm at the back of knees and slowly lifting her up once again. Its arms were warm but those metal gloves were as cold as ice, as always. It walked to the door, using its shoulder to force it open. It stepped into her main room and then moved over to her bed. There it slowly bent down, placing her back upon her bed gently. |

Before Victoria could protest, she was already in his arms and on their way to the other room. She held him behind his neck for her own support again, almost feeling foolish. Helplessness was not something she rather enjoyed and she should have been stronger than she was. Her normal rate of recovery was entirely faster than what had been happening. As they approached the bed, Victoria's heart beat slightly faster in her chest and it became a bit harder to breathe. She had to pull her eyes from him again. Her body's actions were frustrating. The timing considerably off. The creature's placement of her onto the bed almost forced her to look at him and her cheeks flushed. As she leaned back, Victoria closed her fingers around the scruff of the creatures neck and brought her face forward. The heat that radiated through her body felt as if she would melt. Victoria's lips inches from the creature's, she closed her eyes, let go of the creature and her head fell onto the pillow. Gritting her teeth, Victoria held back a growl of frustration. Swallowing hard, she looked back to the creature. "I cannot stay like this. I need to help you figure out...," Her thoughts were jumbled with her body's desires, "You need answers." |
