Affiliations and Confrontations {OPEN}

[Myaku Keirson]

Malice's harsh words didn't feel all that harsh to me, he hadn't crossed any lines in saying so, besides it was his house.
I was about to stand up and explain my self as Juliet stood up, nearly knocking me back. I collected my self and stood up.
"King Malice, your majesty, sorry for intruding. I merely wished to talk to you. If you have time." I said.
I was anxious to know if what he knew about the Grimoire, and about his vision. I really meant no harm to him, and was sorry to have mad him cross with me, but that didn't change anything.

[Malice Malkovitch]

Malice was almost taken aback by Juliet’s speed to see what was wrong with him, it was strange… it was true concern… the guards and maids and servants and medics cared because there were paid to, this was nice that she did.
”Nothing, Please, I’m fine,” He denied, ”Nothing can hurt me” He said smiling confidently, he was getting used to showing feelings around her now, although it had been a short time he had enjoyed not being showing how cold he really was.
”I can see that your wing is better, I’m glad to see it…” He said kindly, “Although it does throw my entire day’s work out the window” He continued quickly under his breath.
Then the Myaku or what ever his name was began to speak, he was being polite but far too much of a kiss ass for Malice’s liking, he was surrounded by it all the time,
”I have time so long as you drop the civility from a façade to reality” He said bluntly, with that he discarded his upper robe and dropped it on the floor, it made a wet slap as it hit the marble floor. Someone would get that.
He then smiled at Juliet ”I’m glad to see that you are wearing the dress I gave you” He had now decided to turn his attention to Juliet as he hadn’t seen her all day and wanted to know that she did not think he had either forgotten about her or broken his promise to keep her safe.

[Myaku Keirson]

I sighed at the kings remark, it was less of a sigh of relief than a sigh of discomfort.
I sat back down, and settled back.
"So, I have a book here, a Grimoire." I said, putting the book on the table. Then pushed it to his side of the table.
"Also, since I can tell you aren't pleased, I was brought into this room by Juliet, not by choice, but I have to say, you have a nice taste in decoration..."
Malice walked over and picked up the book, examining it.
I closed my eyes and sat back, opening one eye to peer at Juliet.
She saw me and gave me a faint smile.
I looked back up at the ceiling and waited for the King's response.
I hope he knows something about it... I thought.

Mother... looking at me, tell me what do you see?
...Yes, I've lost my mind...
Daddy... looking at me-- will I ever be free?
...Have I crossed the line...

Juliet smiled when she realized Malice was alright, "Don't scare me like that..." she whispered, flashing him one of her adorable smiles. This was sort of a small thing she only did for Malice. It was her way of saying "I'm glad your safe" without actually saying it. Since she was afraid of showing affection toward Malice infront of his servants and anyone else for that matter. However she DID roll her eyes cutely and filled the room with her soft bell sounding giggling. Was Malice just arrogant or did he have a big ego? Either way, she knew he wouldn't be hurt-- ever. Why would she even worry about that? Juliet knew why, because he was her friend now... and blood scared her. She thought back to her fight with Myaku and her broken wing-- she was bleeding alot. Juliet's tiny body faintly shivered.

Malice turned his attention to Myaku for a short moment then back to Juliet. She didn't seem to be paying attention to his comment about her new dress. Juliet blinked when the room fell silent-- this made her realize some had said something to her. She glanced at Malice and smiled, absently gripping the rim of her short dress in embrassment, "Y--Yes... you gave it too me so I wouldn't be in my ripped dress, correct?" she asked him, flashing her sweet smile.

Myaku then chimmed in his comments about the book again. Juliet turned to face Malice and nodded-- classifying that he was telling the truth, "He came here because he was hopping you knew something about the book-- possibly be its owner?" she said, her smile suddenly fading as Myaku suggested it was Juliet's fault he was sitting in this sitting room. She blushed and turned to Malice as if she was afraid he would hit her, "I-- I was... well... Malice you weren't here and you were gone forever! And he wouldn't go away so I-- I was trying to be... well..." she bowed her head, blushing in embrassment, "I'm sorry. Was I out of place to allow him to sit and wait for you?" she whispered shyly. She sounded scared...

[Myaku Keirson]

Malice took forever examining the book, I eventually stood up and walked over to Juliet, Malice's gaze followed me all the way to her, then watched me for a moment, and looked back at the book.
Perhaps it would be better if the book where open, and not locked shut? I though.
I looked down to Juliet, she was still watching Malice, with a scared look on her face.
"Don't worry about it, I can take all responsibility for anything that we may have done wrong."[/i] I whispered.
"Also, nice dress." I added.
The man has a taste in cloths and housing, that's for damn sure... I thought.
As i stood next to Juliet, the tiny angel girl, who seemed less like a child to me now, my thoughts of protecting her crawled back to my mind.
I wondered if she would allow me to do so, i wondered if Malice would allow me too...

[Malice Malkovitch]

While Malice was studying the book, he was still fully aware of the situation surrounding him. He honestly didn’t care about the book, it didn’t look expensive, it had a lock on the front, it looked worn and lastly of all he didn’t think he owned it… It could have been stolen from his library a while he was king… but he never read anyway. This all meant it was of little importance to him… But it felt like the book was almost defying him by staying closed, nothing defied him.
He presumed that if there was a key the boy would have given it to him, so since he hadn’t he decided to open it himself.
He was snapped from his train of thought by Juliet’s babbled apology, he honestly didn’t care that she brought him here, it was just the thought of him coming this far uninvited and unescorted that had made him angry earlier.
”It does not matter, I told you to treat this place as your home and so I am glad that you are, there’s no need to apologies you are doing what I told you.” he said kindly.
He then went back to the book there was a lock on the book a lock that could be picked, He forced the smallest bone in his arm to push threw his palm and he inserted it into the key hole, he then shaped it so that it expanded in the correct dimensions to pass through the metal gate and turn the locking mechanism, there was a loud click, success.
He threw the book over onto the table letting it spill open, he wasn’t looking at it because his attention was drawn to how close the boy was getting to Juliet, it wasn’t like he had feelings for her… he didn’t know who he was trying to convince here, but none the less, she felt like she was somehow his, he was going to protect her, she was going to help him.
”There, I hope that helps” his cool demeanour was being pushed by this boys actions, so he might have sounded a little blunt.
He walked over to Juliet and waited for the boy to decided what to do next. His hands returned to there normal positions.

[Myaku Keirson]

Shock and awe, that's how I would describe it.
King Malice had opened the locked book!
"Th-Thank you! I said, and rushed over to the now open book.
I read over the first page.
It read: This Grimoire Belongs to: Lunera Miya'Iro
The name was not a familiar name, nor a name that was in any way common in my home land, where I had found the book.
there was something else below the name...
I read it.
Beware, for the words you read in this book are dangerous spells, they can summon nightmarish creatures from the depths of hell, they can destroy whole countries, and kill your enemies with a single word... But beware, such power comes with a cost.
I though about the words.. I wasn't about to use the book, not before opening it, and not now, even after opening. I wasn't foolish, magic wasn't a strong point for me, nor was I all too fond of it.
"It's a spell book. I said, looking up at Malice. "I'll be honest, I don't use magic all too often, and I don't plan to become an avid user, but I still want to keep the book unless you really need it."
He didn't care how I talked, so I loosened up. I really wanted the book still, because if Malice was not it's owner, then I really hadn't completed my quest.
Then i remembered...
"Also... tell me about this vision of yours, if you wouldn't mind, I really want to know more actually. I asked, hoping he wouldn't be offended by me knowing, besides, if I was intending to black mail him, I would have killed my self long ago, because he was fully capable of killing me.

Juliet eyed Myaku shyly. She didn't like that he was comming close to her while Malice was around. It made her feel like Myaku thought Malice would be the one to hurt her. Juliet considdered how rediculious that would be. Honestly-- Why would Malice hurt her when he needed her? It made no sence. She had faith in Malice and know he would never hurt her. That was his promise. Juliet, however, feel very uncomfortable standing between the two. Her body was closest to Malice but it seemed Myaku was bringing himself close to her. Juliet swallowed and tried to ignore Myaku for the moment she focus on the book.

Malice did that bone thing he usually does to create a key. Juliet flinched as he did this. She wasn't sure what it was but something about him doing that made her think he was hurting himself. He never looked hurt... but then again maybe he was composed enough to not show the pain when it came. Juliet looked up at Malice worried. She watched his face as he threw the book onto the table. She frowned noticing how he didn't show any emotions. Was it just when Juliet was around that he did? She wasn't sure-- what she was sure about was that Malice just moved himself closer to HER. Juliet blushed and glanced at Myaku shyly. Was Malice territorial? Juliet blushed more and looked for a way out, she attempted a small smile but she stil looked embrassed, "Let's have a look at that book, shall we?" her voice was very small now, the bell sound only ringing in a hushed tone.

Juliet quickly moved to the book and sat on the floor in front of it. Her head tilted to the side-- curiously-- and her pale blonde hair shifted over her eyes. She took a short moment to brush her hair away, but it moved right back in place. Juliet ignored it and seached the pages for a name... details of it's contents... SOMETHING. Then Myaku came over, finding a name a few paged in. Juliet listened as Myaku explained it was a spell book. Juliet merely shrugged-- only slightly loosing interest. She wouldn't mind learning a few more spells... but this book seemed dark to her... she was bright. Well... now she was bright red when Myaku asked about Malice's vision. Juliet was shocked, she wasn't sure what to say. She was just getting herself into trouble with this damn Myaku! Juliet bowed her head shyly, almost waiting to be hit.

[Malice Malkovitch]

Malice fully ignored the thanks from Myaku; the thought of no one being able to do that was beyond him, he could see that Juliet was uncomfortable between him and Myaku but once they both left to swoon over the book he was able to call a servant with another upper body robe, He was looking at himself in the mirror and checking for any signs of physical abnormality, he found only the one he had placed there, the number tattoo that was placed under his skin he used it to keep count of the souls he had eaten and not used, it was in the bicep of his left arm it stood at three hundred and sixteen. He was content with that.
When the robe arrived he swung it over his shoulders and but did not fasten it or put his arms through the sleeves, It was just to hide the numbers, He began to pay attention to the conversation just as Myaku was talking about the book being some sort of spell book and that he was not a magic user, neither was Malice and he didn’t need a book to cause destruction he had armies at his disposal both human and inhuman as well as his own creations, Juliet seemed like she was.
”I don’t want it… Unless; you want it Juliet? ” He said crooning his head in her direction, if she could find a use for it, the book was worth having.
He then sat in the largest chair and pulled a robe that was attached to the chair, this caused a bell to ring in the servant’s quarters, they would be here soon.
He was then asked of his vision… that was probably not the time to tell them but over dinner might be.
” I do insist that you stay for a meal, we can discus my dream over a six course meal” he said casually, he then looked at Juliet, she was dressed nicely but not what you would ware for dinner,
”Juliet there should be a nice black and red dress in your wardrobe I had it made and placed there today, if we are to have a meal, you should ware it” He said, it didn’t bother him if she didn’t, it was not like there would be anyone at the dinner table she would have to impress or lie to so It didn’t matter if she fitted in completely or not.
He waited for an answer from both of them.

Juliet shook her head to the offering of the book. She wasn't interested in dark magic. She much preferred Light Magic because it made her feel safe... warm. However she HAS tried using a dark magic spell and not only did it wipe out all of her energy but it felt cold... unsafe... and it hurt her. She stood up from her position on the ground and smiled to Myaku, "I'm sure Ms. Lunera Miya'Iro would want her book back..." she said simply and turned her attention back to Malice.

He had on a new robe, and for a minute Juliet felt... bright. Her clothes seemed much brighter than Myaku and Malice. Even if Malice was wearing a simular color-- Juliet had pale blonde hair and the extreamly fair skin to look like a ghowing ghost. Then Malice suggested they have a six course dinner. Juliet tilted her head to the side looking shocked. That was ALOT of food! She bit her lip-- did Malice even NOTICE how small she was? Juliet could probably only finish half of one course... but she could manage about 3 at most... she could try. Her attentioned was then brought to a maid that must of been ordered to aid Juliet since she appeared to be around alot of the time. "I'll meet you two at the table then." she said softly and walked over to the maid happily, giving her a hug. The maid looked shocked, as the girls walked away Juliet was explaining to the maid that she didn't have to be so formal to Juliet-- she wanted the maid to be her friend.

After some time of preparing herself to at least LOOK like a noble classed woman, Juliet seemed to manage looking the part. She stood by the table, waiting for Malice and Myaku to join her like they said they would. Her small body was dressed in the long red dress Malice had made for her. Honestly it made Juliet look sixteen like she was. The little dresses she usually wore were wavy and fanned out slightly to make her look tiny. They didn't show the curves she DID in fact have like the red dress she wore now. No one would of guessed Juliet had a very hour glass figure that fit the dress out perfectly, not to mention the little girl actually had a chest. Not exactly huge but not small either, it was perfect for her side in other words. Juliet's face still seemed innocent, as she preferred not to wear make-up ("If a guy was to favor me, shouldn't it be because I am naturally beautiful?" she had told her maid-- who smiled approvingy to Juliet). Though despite the make-up, Juliet's usually pin straight hair was in wavy curls around her waiste. She even looked taller! With heels of course. She definatly looked sixteen now. Malice's dress made her look more mature and lovely-- though still fragile. But at least she didn't look child-ish and cute right now.

[Myaku Keirson]

Juliet had a point, I couldn't give the book away just yet, this Lunera girl, definitely wanted it back.
Dinner? I thought.
I was hungry, but six courses? really? That was a lot of food, though I admit I had never eaten like a noble before, so I really had no idea what to expect.
I put the book back in its place on my belt and stood up.
Juliet had left with a maid, so it was just Malice and I until dinner.
I was anxious to know about his dream, I wanted to know if we had the same, if not similar, aspirations.
We walked to the dinning hall, Malice did not speak a word.
Did he not trust me? Again, i found my self thinking a familiar thought; what reason does he have to trust me? None, I harmed that which he tried to protect, and intruded in his home...
though I'm sure if he wanted me dead he'd have done it already, so I relaxed a little bit.

The dinning hall was, to say the least, fit for a King, if not ten kings. The instant I saw this room I wondered what kind of food would suffice to his liking? Probably rare tastes I had never had before.
I sat down in the chair i was directed to by one of the servants, and placed my trench coat over the back of the chair, revealing my, some what clean, button up dress shirt that I wore underneath. I had forgotten that I was wearing that, really.
The table could have seated 40 or 50 at very least, or so that was my guess...
Where does one acquire such valuables? I wondered.
My thoughts where distracted by the sound of feet tapping on the marble floor, I looked over to see Juliet standing in an elegant Red Dress. It made her look much older and sophisticated, She looked like a fine young lady, indeed.
I turned to Malice and said "Malice, don't take this as kissing ass, but you really have a fine taste in cloths, I have to say.
I could tell by his looks that he thought I was kissing ass earlier so I tried to act more like my self.
We all sat at the huge table, and we waited for dinner. But he anxiety to know his thoughts grew bigger and bigger...

[Malice Malkovitch]

Once Juliet had left with the made he didn’t feel like waiting long and so decided to lead Myaku the long way round to his biggest dining hall, he made the trip in complete silence… just the way he liked it.
As Malice arrived in the room he was pleasantly surprised at how well the dress suited Juliet, it made her look noble and expensive… two of Malice’s favourite things, he watched as Myaku rudely sat down before Juliet, he remained standing and motioned her over to one of the larger seats next to him, this is where the queen would sit… if there was such a thing.
”Care to join me” he spook now with a venomous charm.
He had already planned this meal in advanced, he always had them make far to much food so there being a third mouth would not need any changes to the staff plans, so he didn’t bother talking to them… word would get round the castle rather quickly anyway.
He would await Juliet’s sitting before he rang the bell and had the food brought in. He just realised how messy he must have looked, blood stained lower robes and a half open top robe… he hadn’t even washed the blood from his face…, He stood behind the chair and waited for Juliet to sit.

___________________________________________[/center]

Juliet smiled as Malice walked in, faintly wondering what he thought about her at this moment. She sort of hoped that Malice hadn't heard that Allen-- one of the guards that volenteered to assist Juliet when needed-- had to literally CARRY her to the dinning hall. Let's be real-- Juliet was a mess on heels. The clumsy should always wear flats, but Juliet had no choice when the maid handed her heels and Juliet couldn't find flats ANYWHERE. So when Malice motioned for Juliet to sit-- she hesitated. Her eyes wandered over to the door where Allen stood, he was trembling as if he was trying not to laugh. Juliet took a deep breath and took one step forward, pauusing a moment to see if she had the balance. It seemed it was there so she walked to the chair slowly, the look on her face clearly showing her concentration. It didn't seem to work all that well since Juliet stumbled aganist the chair. She blinked and took a seat quickly, her face nearly as red as her dress.

Juliet breathed calmly and glanced up at Malice, smiling sweetly as if she was trying to play off her embrassment. Out of the corner of her eyes Juliet caught her maid ramming her elbow into Allen's ribs because he was laughing at Juliet. The maid-- Juliet knew her to be Susan-- smiled to Juliet as encouragement. She sighed and glanced at Myaku, wondering if he felt as out of place as she did. Expically when she was sitting next to Malice in what would have been the queen's spot. Juliet figured it was just coincedance-- she was the only girl at this table, why WOULDN'T you put her in the queens spot? That's what Juliet tried to think about-- not that it was a possible other reason for her to be seated there, It's nothing... keep your cool... she thought, and under the table she slipped out of her heels-- feeling so much calmer than before.

[Myaku Keirson]

The seats where comfy, and very stylish.
Juliet was very awkward waking over to her seat in heels, it was overly obvious that she did not like wearing heels, nor was used to it.
I felt awkward being here as well, or so I assumed I wasn't the only one.
I decided to break the silence and ask Malice my looming question.
"So Malice, care to tell me more about your vision now?" I asked, looking over at him while he took his seat after Juliet.
I really wondered if he planned to take down Fal and reclaim the city.
If so, I was all in, I would help him at all costs, but I'm not the person to make these kinds of decisions, but I could follow easily.
I wonder...

How... how could that bastard betray the Demon Lord like that!?

Jace made his way up the runway to Malice's palace. Her face a pale mask of no expression-- just bright blue eyes full of ice like needles. He walked in a way that showed he was angry... irritated... wanting to kill. He would kill Malice's little pet. Juliet... the main eye of Lord Fal's vision in succeeding the war aganist the humans. And Malice had her this whole time! How could he be so selfish as to keep Juliet out of Fal's eyes and keep her hidden? How could be betray the demons in such a way!? Malice was a prick... and Jace would set things straight. He would either drug Juliet with her father's poison-- to enchance her powers. She would loose herself.. become nothing but a killing machine-- but would pass out for a good hour when she was drugged... however this process takes quite a few shots of the drug. Juliet had only had two. Then again... Jace was so angry with Malice that he had a need to kill Juliet.... ring his hand around her skinny neck and watch that beautiful angel choke....

Jace reached the opening gate-- a guard stepped forward, "Hey! You can't--" but the guards words were stopped when Jace instantly pulled out a gun and shot the man in the head. Jace had no time for these guards and their nonsense.... he had a mission on his hands. Jace made his way into the castle and looked around. There was a maid scrubbing the floors. Jace walked over to her and grabbed her by her hair, pointing the gun at her head, "Juliet Vimir. Where is she?" Jace hissed, his voice having no care the wanting a woman at the moment.
The maid gasped, "L--Lady Vimir? S--She's...--"
"Spit it out!" Jace barked, thrusting the gun nto her head.
The maid started crying, "Dinning Hall! Lady Vimir is in the dinning hall!"
Jace smirked, "Thank you." he muttered and shot the maid dead.

Jace started to make his way down through the halls... he would find her.... he would KILL her....

It was only a matter of time...





(Okay, Malice-- haha this is Juliet, obviously. Okay So I got tired of Jace and I want him dead. So me and Myaku planned for Jace to come to the castle-- having found out she was being protected by Malice-- and plans to either drug her or kill her; as i stated in the post. So just to be clear-- Malice, Myaku, and Juliet have no clue Jace is here. So we can add that drama. And also-- there is going to be a fight--obviously. I just have to ask that you guys don't kill Jace right off the bat. I want him to be at near death and be able to stumble to Juliet and stab her with the drug. Okay, that's what's going to happen ^-^ )
